DIFFERENCES. BT CIURLE9 MACK AY. The king can drink the best of wine- So can I; And has enough when he would dine— So have I; And cannot order rain or shine— Nor can I; Then whore's the difference—let me see— Betwixt my lord the king and me? 1)* trusty friends surround his throne Night and day! Or make his interest their own? No; not they. Mine love me for myself alone— Blessed be they ! Aud that's one difference which I see Betwixt my lord the king and me. Do kuaves around me lie in wait To deceive? Or fawn or Hatter when they hate, And would grieve? Or cruel pomps oppress my &tate— By my leave? No ! Heaven be thanked I And here you seo More difference "twixt the king and me I He has bis fools, with jests and quips, When he'd play; He has his armies and bis ships— Great are they ; But not a child to kiss his lips — Well-a-day ! And that the diftl-rence sad to see Betwixt my lord the king aud me. 1 wear the cap and he the crown— What of that I I sleep on straw and he on down— What of lhat? And he's the king and I'm the clown— What of that ? If happy I, and wretched he, Perhaps the king would change with me ! Stan Jfraittist(r ^rtefcenmiis. TO FARMERS. t o :b a. o o o .

The grand movements of great events and the changes of tmpires are founded in causes, very generally, wfci&n would be pronounced trifles by the world. Yes, "trifles light as air," have led to some ol the most important discoveries we have. The fall of an apple gave Newton the clue, to gravitation ; tbe rising up of the lid of a tea kettle gave us our railroads, steamboats, ocean steamers, and a thousand other things, not to speak of our steam press, that, combined, put tho world centurie! ahead in tbe mysteries of the universe and the purposes of God. To the observation of a flower dimly pictured on a (tone, we owe tho philosophical researches in chemistry and light which ultimately gave ue the daguerreotype. To grasp A thing impalpable, and hold it, was Once considered wild impossibility, Until Daguerre, with heaven aspiring might Captured a shadow with a ray of light And chained it down for ever. By a trifling loan of money from the great actor Talma to Napoleon, in a time of need, the face Of Europe was changed—millions of meu perished thrones were emptied, Wellington made a duke, Moscow was burn ed, and France made a despotism at the present time ; for Napoleon waa on the brink of suicide—a nameless adventurer—when Talma gave bim this assistance. The foundation of the Roman Empire was a cunning trick iu en individual combat, or duel. American liberty and thirty-one glorious Statef arose from a strong cup of tea made by the Bos-' tonians in 1775. A little piece of magnetised steel led to the discovery of a-new world. The erection of a saw-mill in California changed the currency of the world. The crossing of a little Btream of water subverted the libeities of Rome and gave the name of Brutus immortality. The flying of a common paper kite by a printer gave ns the magnetic telegraph. The eating of an apple in the garden of Eden, brought sin and death into the world ; the giving away of a golden apple caused a ten years' war and the fall of Troy. A delay ^f five minutes saved the lives of" Napoleon the First and bis family from an '-infernal machine" in the streets of Paris, A delay of two minutes once cost about fifty lives ou an American railroad. From a li ttle acorn, the great American forests have grown. It is impossible to enumerate, especially in a newspaper article, the almost numberless "trifles' that have produced great events, and made num berleBB radical changes in the history and destiny of the world. Suffice it to say, that " trifles" are not to be s^ffed at. The world may learn great, and true, and valuable lessons from these same " trifles." Tbe fable of tho lion who was released from his prison by a mouse, was written by a great man—upon a less foundation than this, there haB been ercjted a deathless poetry, wonderful tragedies, many uoble novels.—JV.

A McDonald WHOLESALE DRY GOODS* How Henry A. Crabb became a Filibuster..— The Springfield (Mass.) Republican has the following :— " It bad occurred to us recently, that Henry A. Crabb, the Sonora filibuster, is an old acquaintance whom we formerlj knew inVicksburg, Miss- He waa a young lawyer of decided talent and excellent character—modest but ambitious and full of life and energy. In tbe Taylor campaign he waa an active and enthusiastic whig. Oue even ing, at the close of a political meeting, in which there had been a warm debate, he met Mr. Jenkins. the democratic editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel, nnd entered into discussion with him upon some point relating to the management of the meeting, which, as in tbe custom there, had been participated in by both sides. They differed, aud differed warmly, almost coming to blows, though both were naturally and by reputation as peaceable men as there were in the city. The next day both armed themselves before appearing in the street—Crabb with a pistol and Jenkins with a knife. Jenkins was standing iu the door-way of a drug-store as Crabb passed by. Jenkins bowed, and Ciabb paused and asked him why he, after the language of tbe previous even inff, presumed lo speak to him. Jenkins instantly lunged at him with a knife. Crabb warned bim off, and told bim he should be obliged to shoot bim if he did not desist. Jenkins was insane, with rage, and kept up tbe attack, Crabb begging hi while his blood flowed freely, to stop and not. oblige him to shoot him. He thus maintained his equanimity until tbe sad necessity came, when he raised his pistol and shot Jenkins dead upon tbe spot, Crabb Was nearly cut to death. He lay for weeks during the hot summer weather before he recovered. He was then arrested, examined and acquitted. This difficulty sent him to California. There be became a prominent political leader ; there he married, and from thence he wanton his filibustering expedition to Sonora. where he bst his life. And all because he bad a warm conversation on politics, entered into without a thought of the terrible influence it was to have upon his destiny."

AdVIcr to Younu Mkx.—In his valedictory address, ex-L&rd Rrctor of Glasgow University, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, lately offered the ioUowing excellent maxims to the students:— Never affect to be any other than you are—cither richer or wiser. Never be ashamed to say, "1 do not know." Men will then believe you when you say " I do know." Never be ashamed to say, whether applied to time or money, " I can-1 not afford it : I cannot afford to waste an hour in | the idleness to which you invite me ; I cannot afford the guinea you ask me to throw away." Once establish yourself and your mode of life as what they really are, and your foot is on solid ground, whether for the gradual step onward or for the sudden spring over a precipice. From these maxims let me deduce another. Learn to say "No " with' decision, "Yes" with caution. No " with decision whenever it meets a tempta- on ; " Yes " with caution whenever it implies a promise, a premise, once given, ia a bond inviolate. A man is always of consequence iu the W'6"rl(7 when it is known that we can implicitly rely upon him. I h;ave frequently seen in life such a person preferred to a long list of applicants for some important charge f he has been lifted at once into station and fortune', merely because he has this reputation—that when a man says he knows a thing, he knows: and when he says he will do a thing, he will do it; Explokation Oh" Africa from Zanzibar.—Capt. Burton and Lieut. Speko hare left (or Zanzibar, to commence a series of explorations info the interior, for which two years have been assigned them. They expect to be joined by',Ur. Stcin- hauser from Aden, and this completes the arrangements of the expedition. It is not supposed likely that the travelers will be able to remain more than a twelvemonth at a time iu the interior ; when they find their supplies and resources begin to fail tbeiri, they will probably visit Zanzibar, and make a fresh departure inland. Their first object is to make for the shores of the Great Lake or series of lakes in Central Africa, which twenty year9 ago were only known by imperfect rumor, and from time to time were washed from, or replaced on the map, as our supposed knowledge regarding them waxed or waned. We have every reason to believe that sheets of fresh water of large expanse exist in Central Africa, just uuder the line, and so far south as the twentieth parallel or probably over a space nearly as large as Ihe peninsular of Hiudostan. That this is a continuous inland sCa we have no sufficient ground for believing. That the lakes are united Is more than probable ; that some of them are of vast magnitude is almost certain ; but not only are we ignorant of their size, their connections, width, and relations to each other, but; we are not so much as aware whether or not they form a great idependent lake and river system unconnected with the ocean, or whether they may not Bend off a portion of their waters to the sea. Capt. Burton is of the opinion that from some of them the Nile derives its supplies. And the travelers from Zanzibar are not without hope of meeting the great exploring party, now proceeding southward from Egypt, and so between them solving a problem which has formed the mystery of the past twenty centuries. The Greek geographer, Ptolemy, of two extensive lakes, which owe their ex- I istence to the melting of the snow on the Mouut- I ains of the Moon, as feeders of tbe Nile. These be describes as (! and 7 south and £7 and G5 east. If we subtract the correction of ten degrees required by all Ptolemy's observations, this will place them three or four north. According to Ptolemy, when the correction just referred to has been applied, the Mountains of the Moon are very nearly under the line, and this is the position now assigned to the Great Snowy Range. It ja to these wonderful regions that the eyes of geographers in ali parts of the world are at present directed, and thitherward two bodies of bold adventurers, one from Cario, another from Bombay, are at present directing their steps, with an enterprise ljclore fcliera, laborious and dangerous as it is, often par- illeied in labor and danger, but never certainly 1""r""'r""1 in interest.—Bombay Times.

ANDKEAS OOMTNGUEZ. 3ep20—tf JESUS Ma. COTA de OOMINGUEZ A. Tell-Tale Machine. IT seem that the Electro-Chemical Baths, have decided the vexed question in regard to the notorious National Hotel disease; one victim having been fortunate enough to try the baths, as a last resort, wherein the "test-plate showed a heavy deposit of arsenic." This tells a dark tale on somebody, and shows how the people choose to be humbugged, even to death, rather than bo cured by an unpopular agent. The Electro-Chemical baths were in use and within the reach of those victims, but they were in the hands of Reformers, henco, but one of the many victims, it seems, re- florted to them. I do not claim that the baths are a cure-all, but that they are a powerful agent in renovating the human system generally, and that they will expel from the system murcury, or other mineral poisons, so as to be seen by the naked eye : showing clearly the absurdity of the Alopalhic practice, and why the Doctors decry those tell-tale machines. Should there be any In this community Independent enough to investigate these tiling for themselves, they may find it to their advantage to call on the undersigned, who administer-i the baths, and is a dealer in electro-magnetic ma chines for family use, giving all necessary directions.

Placer Courier, Yankee Ji l County Report Complimext to A Wife.—The Marquis de , eldest sou of the Duke, is married to a handsome wife and both are sincerely attached to each other. No union can be more happy. The other night they had dressed for a ball, to whicb they were invited, and at the moment of departure tbe lady made her appearance in such a bewitching toilette' and looked so divinely beautiful, that the husband was seized with a sudden lit of jealousy, and without any feeling of resentment or ill-will to bis wife, but merely to prevent others from the enjoyment of such a sight, he very deliberately tore her gown in pieces from her back. Man)' ladies would have sued for a separation. I asked how the young French Marquise bore the disappointment. 'The answer was, "she was flattered beyond measure, and proud of this proof of her husband's admiration ;■ and in fact,' said the narrator, " there was something beautiful aud sublime in this flash of sentiment," I had so little \poesie in my nature tbut it struck? me a« very ill- ' bred, rather cruel and exceedingly selfish. —Ml fci lapa County Reporter, oierra Demo'eiat:.

The horse-shoe nails dropped; in ihe streets during tbe daily traffic are carelully collected by her, and reappear in the form of swords and guns. , The clippings of the traveling tinker are mixed.! with the parings of horse's hoofs from' the smithy, or tbe cast-off woolen garments of the poorest inhabitants a sister's isle, and' soon afterwards, in the form of dyes the brightest blue, grace the dress of courtly dames. The main ingredient of writing-ink was, possibly,-oude part of tbe broken hoop of an old beer barrel. The bones of dead animals yields the chief constituents of lucifer matches. The dregs of port wine, carefully rejected by the port Wine drinker in decanting his favorite beverage, are taken by bim in the morning in the form of Seidlitz powders, to remove the effects of his debauch. The offal of the streets aud the washings Of coal-gas 'reappears carefully preserved iu tbe lady's smelling bottle, or are used to flavor blancmanges for her friends. This economy of the chemistry of art is only in imitation of what we observe in the Chemistry of nature. Animals live and die • their dead bodies passing into putridity, escape iuto t!ie atmosphere, whence plants again mould them into forms of organic lile; and these plants, actually consisting of a past generation, form our present food.—Dr. Loon Playful?*. An Ixcioe.vt op BiLACLAVA.—When the Light Brigade was preparing for action, the butcher of the 17th Lancers, who had just been performing his office, slaughtering sbeep and osen, made his appearance iu the field, without coat orwaistcoat; his shirtsleeves relied up, end h-s arms and face besmeared with blood—a grotesque and terrible figure. He mounted a powerful c&arger and rode up to his troop. He had no business there, but the prospect of a bloody fray was too strong to'be resisted. He seized two sabres, deliberately examined the temper and edges of tbe blades, select ed the sharpest and threw the other aside. He then, with equal coolness, took out a short black pipe, charged it, lighted it, placed it in his mouth, and, settling himself in the saddle, rode with the "six hundred" into the Valley ;of the Shadow of Death. This man was seen among the Russian batteries, sabreing tbe gunners right and left, slaying with his his own hand at least six of the enemy, cutting his way in tee retreat through the swarms of Russian cavalry, which vainly sought ta intercept the remnant of the gallant band, and, wonderful to relate, he rode back, etill smoking his pipe as coolly as if nothing had happened, without receiving a single scratch.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. Marriages op thk Spartan- Ladies.—The time for marriage, in Sparta, was fixed by statute— that of the men, at about thirty or thirty-five years; that of the women, at ahout twenty, or a little younger. All men who conliaued unmarried after the appointed time, were liable to prosecution, and ali old bachelors were prohibited from being present at the public exercise of tbe Spartan maidens, aud were denied the usual res- peet aud honors paid to the aged: " Why should I give you place." cried a young man to an unmarried general, "when you have no child to give place to me when I am old 1" No marriage portions were given with any of the maidens', so that neither poverty should prevent a gallant, nor riches tempt him to marry contrary to his inclinations. The parents of three children enjoyed considerable immunities, and those with four children paid no taxes whatever—a regulation which all larried men with large families will readily admit to be most wise and equitable. It was customary for the bridesmaid to cut off all the bride's hair on the wedding day, so that, for some time at least, her personal attractions should increase with her years. Quick and Easy Metuod op Computixo Interest.—A correspondent in Hunt's Merchant's Magazine, gives the following as a quick aud ;asy method of computing interest: Divide either the amount or the days by CO, and multiply, and the result is the interesl at 6 percent. Take example, for instanc, SC31 (or 81 days, divide amount by 00, result 10J ; multi'- ply by SI, $8.50—a result easily attained without the use of paper. For 9 per cent,, divide by 10 ; ,for 12 per cent., divide by 30i A Great Evil hot Removed.—A conference preacher one day went into the house of a' AVes- leyan Reformer, and saw suspended on the wall, toe porkaits of three expelled ministers. " What," said he, " you have Ihem here." '; Oh, yes, they are there,-" was the answer. " Bui one is wanted to complete the set." " Pray who U that?" 'Why, the devil, to be sure." "Ah," said the reformer, "he is not yet expelled from the conference." A boy was asked lately, "Who killed Abel?" He promptly replied, " Andrew Jackson." This equals the catechetical examination of a lad living iu the wildest region of the Green Mountains:' Into'what state did the fall bring mankind ?" asked the teacher. .With a most ruetul expression of countenance, the urchin bawled out, "Var- Tins Camels in Texas. A correspondent of the Richmond Examiner, encamped near San Antonio, on his way to California, thus writes of tbe camels, which have beeK imported for the government service f Monday, June the 22d, Lieut. Beale returned from Camp Verde. We were all on the qui vive for the camels, which he had left behind io San \ntouio, in order that he might prepare Mr their reception. We had been told that our mules and horses wouldHje much frightened at their appear- auce, ftnd we were not a little curioui to Bee the result of their meeting. Our suspense waa not of long duration, Just as the gray of evening waa coming on, tho clang, clang, clang of bells in tho distance announced their approach, and in a few moments the long wished for caravau hove insight and we, for the first time, I suppoae, in the life of every man of us, saw as many as twenty five camels advancing in single file, the whole under the management of six Orientals—four Turks and two Greeks, (not modern, but ancient Greeks j we had enough of the other sort before.') Perhaps there may haye been nothing which many person's alight regard as particularly moving in the sight, but the effect on me was ratter peculiar. The dim twilight, which made them seem like so many spectral shadows—the measured tone of the bells, like "drowsy tiaklings"—the shouting of the drivers in their incomprehensible jargon, as they sat high above us on their dromedaries—the grotesque form of the creatures whose heights were were greatly increased by their immense, fancy- colored pack-saddles, and whose long necks were stretched out like huge serpents peering about for prey, combined to make a scone irnpresaifeiand yet ridiculous withal. Had it been iu the streets 6f a city, I should have fancied myself in some Eastern land, where the, turbaned Turk, or the" swarthy Arab, with his patient, plodding camel, met the eye at every turn. As I stood thus, in silent contemplation, the spell was broken by a loud laugh from almost the entire party, who were such matter-of-fact persons $£ to see nothing worthy of any emotion but that of mirth. Heavens! thought I, what a lack of sentiment! and I half .fancied" myself an injured man ; but the next moment, by a sudden transition of feeling, I j tuned In the general guffaw-.' As a safeguard against a stampede, we had taken the precaution to drive all our animals into' the corral, (is that the orthography?—it is a Spanish word, and I am not sure,) and it proved1 to be a wise oue ; for a mora frightened h'crd OT animals I never b<iw. Every bead was tossed high' in tbe air, and forming into a solid phalanx, led on by two grays, with a wild neigh, they came' like au avalanche to tbe side of the pen. and would undoubtedly have cleared it at a bound but for the guard which had been stationed fi prevent their exit. Even now, after' a companionship of several days, our mules are very shy of them', Oue of the Greeks having charge of tho camels,' js au interesting youth of tone sixteen years, with a fine intelligent face and a lithe active form. He' came up to me aa I was standing near the corral, and something like the following dialogue ensued:" " You aragocaliforn ?" interrogated he, in a soft, womanly voice. Yes," said I, "I am going to California, I hope." " You cssifer, you von .captaina V " I am high private," was my rather ambiguous reply. "High pril ah! ah! goot, vor goot;" and he left me, evidently impressed with the importance 1 of my position.' For me to enter iuto a history of the camel would be very like presumption, knowing that the subject has engaged the attention of those who are far more able to do it justice ; but I may be allowed to mention a Jew facts concerning them which I have gathered from observation. Tho camels used by us are said to be very superior ones, and certainly present a far more sightly appearance than the miserable creatures which have been exhibited in the traveling menageries, which sometimes visit your city. They were purchased for the government as a choice lot, and may doubtless be regarded as fully capable of testing the utility of their' species' in crossing the wide extended plains lying between" the Mississippi valley and the Pacific Ocean. With their pack saddles on, which are not often removed, ihey stood about eight feet in height-' Their general formation does not iudicate great strength, in which', perhaps, they do not much, if at all, exceed' the horse ;'biu their fitness for the tratel westward, if the result proves their fitness at all, consists in their opacity to endure the want of food and water. They are said to be very hardy, manifesting but little choice in their food,' seeming in fact to prefer that in which other quadrupeds find but little nutriment, such as twigs," the leaves of trees, and' erea'sticks, when pressor by hunger. . They are very docile, and are easily managed/ Their gait is slow, but their stride is greater thau that of a horse, being about three feet in length,' and with steady traveling they will average 3J miles per hour. They do not kneel to receive their load, as.nas' been stated, at the word of corninr.Ji'd ; but with ft Kir-r-r, Kir-r-r, aud a gentle prussure upon the. neck or a pull upon their balurs, they assume the recumbent position. , It has-also been stated that wfefetf trip heavily/ laden they refuse to rise, and utter a piteous cry.' I have not seen one overloaded, but their cries are uttered to express their distress or dissatisfaction at all times. When half suppressed they are the' same as tho lazy grunt of the lioir, wbusa rVp'oW is rudely disturbed ; but when ennvged it is much' more wild and greatly like tbgl of a Bengal tiger^ when his keeper " stirs him up with a long pOle." AVe had about 600 lbs. corn; oa ear!) of them for the first day or two. after leaving Howard's ranch,; but each day reduces it by feeding, untiTwclay IB another supply. They have worked'admirably well so far, and promise to fulfill our most sau-' rmin: erpectations in regard to the experiment. TTncle Sam, after carrying on business for the' past eighty years, having three wars, buying territory from France aud Mexico, building railroads," speculating in a bank, aud trading with all erea-'- tion, comes out with a snug little balance ouhah'': of twenty millions of dollars.

The king can drink the best of wine-

Or make his interest their own?
No; not they.

Betwixt my lord the king and me.
Do kuaves around me lie in wait
To deceive?
Or fawn or Hatter when they hate,
And would grieve?
Or cruel pomps oppress my &tate—
By my leave?
No ! Heaven be thanked I And here you seo

He has his armies and bis ships—
Great are they ;
But not a child to kiss his lips —
Well-a-day !
And that the diftl-rence sad to see
Betwixt my lord the king aud me.
1 wear the cap and he the crown—
What of that I
I sleep on straw and he on down—
What of lhat?
And he's the king and I'm the clown—
What of that ?
If happy I, and wretched he,
Perhaps the king would change with me !

TRIFLES.
The world is made up of trifles. The grand
movements of great events and the changes of
tmpires are founded in causes, very generally,
wfci&n would be pronounced trifles by the world.
Yes, "trifles light as air," have led to some ol
the most important discoveries we have. The
fall of an apple gave Newton the clue, to gravitation ; tbe rising up of the lid of a tea kettle gave
us our railroads, steamboats, ocean steamers, and
a thousand other things, not to speak of our steam
press, that, combined, put tho world centurie!
ahead in tbe mysteries of the universe and the
purposes of God.
To the observation of a flower dimly pictured
on a (tone, we owe tho philosophical researches
in chemistry and light which ultimately gave ue
the daguerreotype.
To grasp
A thing impalpable, and hold it, was
Once considered wild impossibility,
Until Daguerre, with heaven aspiring might
Captured a shadow with a ray of light
And chained it down for ever.
By a trifling loan of money from the great actor
Talma to Napoleon, in a time of need, the face Of
Europe was changed—millions of meu perished
thrones were emptied, Wellington made a duke,
Moscow was burn ed, and France made a despotism
at the present time ; for Napoleon waa on the
brink of suicide—a nameless adventurer—when
Talma gave bim this assistance.
The foundation of the Roman Empire was a
cunning trick iu en individual combat, or duel.
American liberty and thirty-one glorious Statef
arose from a strong cup of tea made by the Bos-'
tonians in 1775. A little piece of magnetised
steel led to the discovery of a-new world. The
erection of a saw-mill in California changed the
currency of the world. The crossing of a little
Btream of water subverted the libeities of Rome
and gave the name of Brutus immortality. The
flying of a common paper kite by a printer gave
ns the magnetic telegraph. The eating of an apple in the garden of Eden, brought sin and death
into the world ; the giving away of a golden apple caused a ten years' war and the fall of Troy.
A delay ^f five minutes saved the lives of" Napoleon the First and bis family from an '-infernal
machine" in the streets of Paris, A delay of two
minutes once cost about fifty lives ou an American
railroad. From a li ttle acorn, the great American
forests have grown.
It is impossible to enumerate, especially in a
newspaper article, the almost numberless "trifles'
that have produced great events, and made num
berleBB radical changes in the history and destiny
of the world. Suffice it to say, that " trifles" are
not to be s^ffed at. The world may learn great,
and true, and valuable lessons from these same
" trifles." Tbe fable of tho lion who was released
from his prison by a mouse, was written by a
great man—upon a less foundation than this, there
haB been ercjted a deathless poetry, wonderful
tragedies, many uoble novels.—JV. O. Picayune.

How Henry A. Crabb became a Filibuster..—
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican has the following :—
" It bad occurred to us recently, that Henry A.
Crabb, the Sonora filibuster, is an old acquaintance whom we formerlj knew inVicksburg, Miss-
He waa a young lawyer of decided talent and excellent character—modest but ambitious and full
of life and energy. In tbe Taylor campaign he
waa an active and enthusiastic whig. Oue even
ing, at the close of a political meeting, in which
there had been a warm debate, he met Mr. Jenkins.
the democratic editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel,
nnd entered into discussion with him upon some
point relating to the management of the meeting,
which, as in tbe custom there, had been participated in by both sides. They differed, aud differed warmly, almost coming to blows, though both
were naturally and by reputation as peaceable
men as there were in the city.
The next day both armed themselves before appearing in the street—Crabb with a pistol and
Jenkins with a knife. Jenkins was standing iu
the door-way of a drug-store as Crabb passed by.
Jenkins bowed, and Ciabb paused and asked him
why he, after the language of tbe previous even
inff, presumed lo speak to him. Jenkins instantly
lunged at him with a knife. Crabb warned bim
off, and told bim he should be obliged to shoot bim
if he did not desist. Jenkins was insane, with
rage, and kept up tbe attack, Crabb begging hi
while his blood flowed freely, to stop and not.
oblige him to shoot him. He thus maintained his
equanimity until tbe sad necessity came, when he
raised his pistol and shot Jenkins dead upon tbe
spot, Crabb Was nearly cut to death. He lay
for weeks during the hot summer weather before
he recovered. He was then arrested, examined
and acquitted. This difficulty sent him to California. There be became a prominent political
leader ; there he married, and from thence he
wanton his filibustering expedition to Sonora.
where he bst his life. And all because he bad a
warm conversation on politics, entered into without a thought of the terrible influence it was to
have upon his destiny."
