gunos años de ruwft..
que estaba cuerdo y en su entero juicio, y
-esta imaginación escribió el Arzobispo,   suplicándole encarecidamente y con muy   cortadas
razones le mandase sacar de aquella miseria en
que vivía, pues  por la  misericordia  do   Dios
habia ya  cobrado cl juicio  perdido;  pero que
aus parientes, por ganar dc la   parte do su hacienda, le tenian alli, y  a pesar de la  verdad
querían qne fuese loco  hasta la  muerte.    El
Arzobispo, persuadido do muchos billetes   con-
.aertados y discretos, mandó a un capellán suyo
se informase del ííetor do la casa si era verdad
lo qne e,:¡uel .Licenciado le escribía, y que así
eniscr.o hablase con el loco, y q\i¿j si la pareciese
qua tenia juicio, le sacase y pusiese  en libertad.    Hizolo así el capellán, y el Eetor le  dijo
■que aquel hombre aun estaba loco, que puesto
que hablaba muchas   veces .como   persona   de
grande entendimiento, al cabo   disparaba   con
tantas necedades, oue en .muchos y en grandes
igualaban a sus primeros discreciones, como se
podía hacer la esperiencia habiéndole.    Quiso
hacerla el capellán, y poniéndole con .el   loop,
habló con él una hora, y mas, y en todo   aquel
tiempo jamas el loco dijo razón torcida ni  disparatada; antes habló tan atentamente, que el
capellán fue forzado a creer que el loco estaba
cuerdo; y otras cosas que el loco  le dijo, fue
que ei Retor le tenia.ojeriza, por no perder los
regalos que sus parientes le hacían, porque   dijese que aun estaba loco y coa lucidos intervalos, y que el mayor contrario que   en   su   desgracia   tenía,   era su   niuclni   .hacienda,  pues
por gozar de ella sus enemigos ponían dolo, y
dudaban de la   merced   que   nuestro S-.'ñor le
había hecho en volverle de bestia en  hombre.
Finalmente él habló de manota que  hizo  sospechosos al Retor, codiciosos  y  desalmados a
sus parientes, y a él tan discreto, que el ca;: e-
lian se determinó a llevársele consigo a  que el
Arzobispo lo viese, y tocase  con la  mano   la
verdad de aquel negocio.     Con esta   buena fé
el capellán pidió   al    Retor   mandase dar   los
vestidos con que'allí habia entrado ol Licenciado
volvió a decir el Retor que mirase lo que hacia
porque sin  duda alguna  el   Licenciado aun
estaba loco.    No sirvieron de nada para con el
.capellán las prevenciones y advertimientos del
Üetor, para que dejase de llevarle : obedeció .el
Retor, viendo ser orden del Arzobispo:  pusieron al Licenciado sus vestidos, que eran  nuevos y decentes, y como él s.e vio vestido d£ en-
.erdj y desnudo de  loco,  suplicó  al  capellán
que por caridad le diese licencia para ir a des-
-cedirse de sus companeros los locos.    El cape
lian dijo que él lequeria acompañar, y ver los
l°cos que en la casa habia.    Snbíéron en efeto,
y con .ellos algunos que £e hallaron presentes:
y llegada) el Licenciado a  una jaula,   adonde
estaba un loco furioso, aunque entonces  sosegado y quieto, le dijo : hermano  mío,   miro si
me manda algo, que me voy a mí casn, que ya
Dios ha sido servido por su infinita bondad y
oiisericordiíi. sin yo merecerlo, de volverme mi
juicio; ya estoy sano y .cuerdo, que acerca del
poder de Dios ninguna cosa es imposible .: tenga grande esperanza y cen fianza en él, que pues a mí me ha vuelto a mi primero estado, también lo volverá a él, si en   el confia : yo tendré
cuidado de enviarlo algunos regalos que coma,
y cómalos en todo caso, qne le hago  saber quo
imagino, como quien a   pasad'}   por   ello, que
todas nuestras locuras  proceden de   tener los
estómagos vacíos, y los celebros llenos de aire:
esfuércese, esfuércese, que el descaecimiento en
los infortunios apoca la salud y acarrea la muerte.
Todas estas razones del licenciado escucho
otro loco, que estaba eu otro jaula enfrente de
la del furioso; y levantándose de una estera
vieja, dondo estaba echado y desnudo en cueros
pregunto a grandes voces, ¿ quien era el que
iba sano y cuerdo? Ei Licenciado respondió:
yo soy hermano, ei que me voy, que ya no
tengo,necesidad de estar mas aqui, por io que
doy infinitas gracias a los ciólos que tan gran
merced me han hecho. Mirad lo que dices
Licenciado, no os engaño el diablo, replicó el
loco, sosegad el pie y estaos quieto en esta casa
ya horrareis la vuelta. Vo se que estoy bueno
replicó el Licenciado, y no habrá para que
tornar a andar estaciones. ¿ Vos bueno 1 dijo
el loco: agora bien, ello dirá andad con Dios;
pero yo os votó a Jupiter, cuya majestad yo represento en la tierra, que por solo esto pecado
que hoy comete Sevilla con sacaros de esta casa
tengo de hacer un tal castigo en ella que quede
memoria del por todo3 los siglos de los siglos
amen, i No sabes tu lícenciadillo menguado,
que lo podre hacer pues como digo soy Jupiter
Temante tengo rayos abrasadores con que pm
amenazar y distiuír ej mundo Pero con solo una
cosa quiero castigar a este ignorante pueblo, y
es con no llover en el, ni en todo su distrito y

Va incidente un ia vida da
Tre* ¿Fingered Jack*
Un corresponsal del digirió de Stockton publica el siguiente incidente eomo un rasgo his:
turico, que hace formar una idea .del carácter
del conocido por Juan de ires dedos,
En la batalla de Salinas,   se   distinguió  de
; demás eomo enemigo de ios Americanos, y
después do la batalla, mereció la admiración
de los Californios- que lo denominaron valiente
entre los valientes. El fué ,el Comandante de
la partida que tantos estragos hizo en la
compañía del Capstan Burroughs. Un tal Cris,
tino Chancey que .estaba cerca del Capitán
Foster, cuando cayó muerto, me dijo poco después, que Jack dc los tres dedos era el que habia muerto al Capitán Burroughs y que se habia apoderado del caballo y la silla en que este montaba. Este caballo, era el famoso '-Sacramento" de color bayo, que habia sido regalado
por el [Capitán Sutter al Coronel Fremont,
mucho tiempoantes. El caballo, desconociendo
a sus nuevos compañeros, volvió al campamento Americano.
Diez y ocho meses después do este encuentro
estuvo Yack en ./Monterey y fué cuando lo vi
por la primera vez: parecía tener cerno 28 años
de edad, y su fisonomía era sumamente desagradable y repugnante; supe que hacia poco
tiempo que habia regresado de Méjico, adonde
habia sido empleadocomo vaquero por cierto
general, que había ido allá, con el objeto de
levantar un ejercito de veinte y cinco mil hombres, para reconquistar California.
Durante su permanencia en Monterey, donde
se reunió con un antiguo camarada llamado
Federico de la Montaña, supo que el famoso
caballo Sacramento, se habia reunido a la
caballada mesteña y gozaba de dulce libertad
en los estensos llanos de San Joaq.uin. Entonces, salió de aquel pueblo acompañado de varios
otros,prometiendo que no regresaría hasta no ha
ber cautivado al noble animal; cumplió fielmen
te su promesa,pucs a el jamas se le volvió a ver
en Monterey, y el caballo recorre &un libre las
bastas llanuras.
El Loto y el   perro flaco,
Distante déla Aldea,
Iba cazando un Perro
Flaco, que   parecía
Un   andante   Esqueleto.
Cuando menos lo piensa,
Un Lobo lo hizo preso.
Aqui de sus clamores,
De sus llantos y rueg
Decidme, Señor Lobo,
i, Que queréis de mi cuerpo,,
Si no tiene  otra nosa
due huesos y pellejo?
Dentro de quince dias
Casaa eu hija mi dueño,,
Y ha de haber para  todos
Arros, y Gallo muerto.
Tejadme ahora libre;
-.Que .pasado este tiempo
Podrás comerme a gusto,
Lucio, gordo, y  relleno.
■Quedaron convenidos;
Y apenas se cumplieron
Los días señalados,
Kl Lobo buscó al Perro,
listábase en su casa
Con otro compañero,
Llamado Matalobos,
Mastín de los mas .fieros;
Salen a  recibirlo
Al punto que lo vieron,
Matalobos bajaba
■Con corbatín de   hierro.
No era el Lobo persona
De tantos cumplimientos,
Y así .por no gastarlos
Cedió de su derecho.
Huia, y lo llamaban;
Mas el iba .diciendo,
Con el rabo entre piernas:
i Pies para que os quiero ?
Hasta los niños saben
Que ea de mayor aprecio
Un Pájaro en la   mano,
Que por el aire ciento.
Samaniego.
El matrimonio, es cl sepulcro del amor.
El mas bello adorno de las niñas es el
pudor y la modestia.

V1ÍR¿EST,
Unrest! unrest! the passion p.miingeea
Watches the unveiled lie;tr,ty of the stars
Like n great hungry soul»   The unquiet clouds
lireak and dissolve, then gather in a mass,
Anclfloat like mighty iee-i.iei'o's through, the hluc;
Summers, like blushes, sweep the face of earth-
Heaven yearns in tears. ' ¿Down comes the frantic
rain;
We hear the wail ofthe remorseful winds
Iu their strange penance.    And this wretched orb
Knows not the taste of rest- u maniac world.
Homeless and sobbing through tlie deep she goes,
(gpuGn the 21st of July, the Feast of Saint
Louis of G on zaga, there was to have,been a
general congregation of Jesuíta at Paris, to
nominateanew General, ia place of II. P. Rod'
thaan, deceased. The General ofthe Jesuits is
appointedfor life,and the powers which devolve
upon him. under the Constitution of the Urder
are very great. A German named Pierling,
will preside over the congregation,having beeu
named Vicar General by Rcothaan. during the
last days of bis illness.
Hf&^TAr Scudder, the Missionary, mentions
the interesting fact, that a wealthy native of
Calcutta, Baboo Rammohem Mulik, lately repaired to the common jail and released eighty
debtors, paying their obligations to the extent
of 3.000 rupees. He also spent some 50,000 rupees at the great Carnival which closed in
November. Others made magnificent presents
to the Brahmins, and one man sacrificed five
hundred goats and fifty buffaloes.
Three young men lately got adrift in a small
boat just above the frightful abyss at Niagara,
over which two of them were hurled and dashed to atoms. Tbe third wben near the verge
of the abyss, succeeded iu reaching a rock to
which he clung till evening. Every effort
was made to relieve him, but in vain. After
clingirg twenty four hours to a slippery rook
he became exhausted by the strength ofthe
current and was swept down the cararact-
City on the topsof Trees.    It ia not ensy
to give tbe reader an idea of thia remarkable
city, (Amsterdam,) crossed and reerossed by
canals in every direction—a city half water
and hilf lard—in which   the   canals  are the
streets and highways leading towards the open
sea, which aeems to hold the city in its arms.
Tt is only hy means of expensive and most substantial dykes and sluices,elaborately constructed and carefully repaired and guarded, that
the sea is kept back, and but for these, this
city, containing upwards of 200,000 inhabitants, would inevitably be submerged and destroyed. Four great canala run across the city
in parallel curved lines, and crossing these,are
a series of otber canals, converging in the harbor like tbe lines ofa fan. Large basins occur
here and there at intervals. The buildings in
the best part of the city are magnificent, many
of them of great age, bearing rich and grotesque ornamental work on their fronts. You
would scarcely believe that the soil under these
majestic buildings was only loose sand and soft
mud! Yet it is so; and it is only by means of
piles of wood driven far down through the sand
into the solid stratum beneath, that a foundation has been found. Hence .Erasmus said of
Amsterdam, that tbe inhabitants, like crows,
lived on the topa of trees. Any onu who merely
pays a pnssing visit to Amsterdam, cannot fail
to be thrown inte a state of perplexity and
maze by the apparent inextricable complicity
ofthe city, in innumerable bridges ¡ts endless
eucces-sion of canals and interminable brick
streets. The canals and bridges so much resemble each other, that the stranger without a
guide fuels as if he were wandering in a labyrinth: he loses all recollection of the points of
compass; and as I did, be will soon probably
lose his way. The most interesting public
building in Amsterdam is the Stadthouse, for
merly occupied by the famous bank of Amsterdam, but now used as a royal palace. The
great, feature of its interior is its grand ball,
lined with white Italian marble, s id to be the
finest ball of the kind in the world. The
smaher apartments ¡n the palace contain some
fine modern Dutch paintings, to which the
public arc freely admitted. One painting representing the hero, Van Speyk, applying the
match to blow up his veesel at Antwerp, rather
than allow it to be taken by the Belgians, is
one that lives long in tbe memory of him who
has seen it.
Late prom the Sandwich   Islands.    The
picture of affairs in the Sandwich Islands is
gloomy. The small pox is raging with increased virulence, and the unhappy natives are
being swept off by thousands. Within aweek
there were 527 new cases of the disease officially reported. This was only from one neighborhood and would probably be swelled to six
or seven hundred by reports from other districts and islands. The natives are singularly
predisposed to take this disease. Their system
appears to be so enervated and undermined by
hereditary taint that the scourge finds them a
ready victim. It is stated in connection with
this subject that ten thousand ofthe Islanders
were carried off in 1847 by the measles and
whooping cough. The cholera would about
finish them. The indignation of the people
agatnt the King's Ministers who have so long
monopolized all power in the Islands, has at
length come toa head. A public meeting has
been called to remonstrate against the further
continuance in power of Messrs Judd and Armstrong. In case the King can summon sufficient resolution to dismiss them, a more liberal
and enlightened Ministry may be expected,
under which every inducement will be offered
to foreigners to settle upon and improve those
Islands.
Adieu! for o7er thee night hath come;
Now hie thee to thy peaceful home,
And, slumbering,rest.

Approaching morn .her joys shall bring

The Jewish Nation adhere with singular
pertinacity to the faith of their fathere,and are
devoted to their ancient ritea and ceremoniea.
As an EevidtncQ of thia it ia stated that the
''London Society for Promoting Christianity
among the Jews," after twenty yeara labor, the
erection of a church on Mount Zion.and expenditure of vast sums; after eBtabliahing a mission
presided over by a Bishop, and endowed by tbe
joint efforts of the Kingdoms of Pruseia and
England, has gained only thirtv eeren Jewish
converts. .During the whole of last year the
result of its labor was tho conversion of one
Jew. The cost of thia one convert was the annual outlay, at Jerusalem alone, besides the
Bishop's stipend, of $1228 expended on the
mission, £445 on the church, 1173 pounds on
the Hospital, and 400 pounds (we beg pardon,
3991. la. lid) on the House of Industry. The
Jerusalem Mission, then—if we add to its cost
the 12001. per annum paid to Bishop Gobat,ari-
sing from the endowment—has actually in the
past year baptized converts at the moderate
rate of £444 4s. 2d. per head.
£52?"Speaking of Secretary Guthrie, who accompanied the President to the opening of the
New York Crystal Palace, the Herald says:
"Secretary Guthrie is, perhaps, the plainest
Kentucky farmer 1-mking man, that was ever
at the bead of the Treasury Department. Ha
looks as if he had lived in the Western back-
wood,i ail his life, and bad just come over the
AI legan iea to see something of the wonders of
civilization on the seaboard. He might pasa for
David Crockett redivivus. His little eye, hia
strongly marked agricultural countenance, hia
muscular, rawboned Herculian figure, heavy
ungainly gait and drowsy somnolescent style
of conversation, would hardly warrant the
presumption tbat he is one of the most distinguished lawyers of Kentucky. He speaka familiarly upon subjects upon which ore might
think he had never heard, and here, in New
YorBi was not a whit more disconcerted by tha
sp'endid things around him than a Camanche
Indian."
The New Mail Route. The contract entered into by the Postmaster General with Col
Ramsay & Co , for the transportation of maila
from New York and San Francisco, went into
operation Jast Monday. By thia new arrangement which gains some 2000 miles of ocean
route, the express mail leaves Vera Cruz on tha
Atlantic, and Acapulco on the Pacific, on tho
4th and ISth of each month, meeting at Mita-
pee, a central point in the interior, and distant
from each of those ports about 36 hours making the hind route across the republic only 72
hours. When the lino is in good working
order it is expected to reduce the distance of
time between New Orleans and San Francisco
to twelve days. Gen Santa Anna ia most fa.
vorably dispjsed towards the project, and the
alcaldes along the line have been directed to
afford the contractors and their servants every
facility.    [N. Y. Herald.
