JU__rrl_geof Ih-  Prince  i»f Wm«-Prn .KC(.»f
tii. Young G.iiii_m_ii.
This is an event which, ia the natural order of
things, may be looked for shortly. Madame Humor, has, indeed, already conferred upon b Iff Hoy-
al Highness a daughter of PrinceChristian of Denmark, iu whom and whose male heirs the succession to tho throne is vested according lo the treaty
of London, of 1852. The Princess is iu her 17th
year, and said to be exceedingly beautiful, aud iu
every respect a suitable match for the heir apparent to the throne of England. The ouly objection
to it Ib the possibility that such a matrimouia!
alliance between the crowns of Englaud and Denmark may entangle this country in disputes, or
oven wars, respecting the Dauish succession, as
similar alliances have done iu times of old. But
whenever and whomsoever his Royal Highness does
marry, we lake it for granted that there will be no
extraordinary pull on the public purse ou the
occasion, because the bridegroom either iB, or
ought to be, amply provided for by the revenues
ofthe Duchy ol Cornwall, which, only diminished
by the cost of his maintenance and education, hav
beeu accumulaunir for his benefit from the day of
hia birth, some tweny years ago. From the Parliamentary return, No. 13, session 1800, the latest
we have seen on the subject, it appears that the
gross receipts of the duchy in the year ending 31st
of December, 1851), were £(53,70. 12s. 10.d-1 t»ttt
wa« paid over to tho trustees aud treasurer of his
.loyal Highness, to his Royal Highness' use, leaving a balance of £'.,_!)_ 2s. 7.d. at his banker's.
Now, an income of ,C10,000 a year for twenty years
amounts to £.00,000 ; and supposing that the
maintenance and education of the Prince Duke
from the time he was a baby in arms down to the
day has cost his royal parents—who are the trus-
teeB-~£tO0,000, theie ought to be something like
£700,000 invested for bis b.aefit somewhere. If
what ought to be Is, the loyal aud liberal people
of England may rejoice, therefore, iu the prospect
of the appproaching happiness of their future
monarch without apprehension of a demand for
dowry or nppauge such as is, it would appear, indispensable in the case of other members of the
royal family.—London Financial Reformer.
giug. I have seen this phenomenon perpetually
within iho last three weeks. It is since the change
in tbe weather that itis most to be noticed; for
wilh bread, meat and wine at the price they stand
al now, it is impossible for people wilh narrow
means to live. In each of the sad cases I mention
ilie individuals belonged evidently to the better
class of society. Teu years ago 3,000f. per annum
enabled a man and bis wife to live with some small
comforts, employing efemme de menage to do
the housework, and even from time to time i
dutgtng iu Borne very modest pleasure, such as a
day's excursion to Versailles ou a Sunday, or fete
day, or (once or twice Eo thc year) perhaps a third
or fourth rat. place at one of the theatreB. Now
the matter .tauds thus :—Tho apartment for,which
was paid '20.f, now eo-trt 5001L or liOOf. ; the taxes
are nearly doubled ; the boots—of which the man
necessarily Uses plenty because they are made of
bad leather, and, If he  has any   employment, he
has long walks to take the boots run away, at the
least with another lOOf.; his clothes costs him
£15 at the lowest, for every article of it is dear aud
bad and his. linen i.-s worn out quickly, because soap

I the most destructive processes for cleansing it.—
Here tbeu, we have £50 or £60 before a man in
the position wo stale'cau stir out of his house or
be capable of moving about to gain his livelihood-
Out of his £120 a year there remains to him £60
or £70 upou which to find food and firing, when
bread is at ouo franc the four pound loaf; wind
formerly 8 and 10 sous, ia at 15 and 16 ; aud meat,
for lhe small consumer, al 10J. and la. a pound,
and more, aud when potatoes that used to cost him
2 sous, uow cost him 5 ; tho quantity of soup vegetables he us.d to get for three sous costs him
7 or 8! Aud, be it noted, here we have a yearly
urn of income which is by no means a low or common one ; aud we have not taken into account oue
single article of expenditure for a woman ; where
18 meu, with £120 a year, oue may almost say, are
Dvariably married men. If from this relatively
high income we revert to the common run of the
ucoia.s of men of this stamp, we find them range
from £50 to £70 or £80. How are they to live?
One expression of mine requires explanation. I
speak ot the dearest of meat ior a "small consumer.'" For a household that cau afford to .buy.
per week, three or four joints, and throe or lour
breasts of mutton, or veal, with two or three pieces
of eoup beef, a butcher will make arrangement
by which all meat shall havo the average price of,
say Od. a pound, but this ouly touches the large
consumer. The small one, who purchases each
day the pound or so, of meat requisite for his food
and that of his wife, if he has oue, pays for thai
small quantity the highest price. He will pay for
veal, for instance, (or the best sort of beef or mutton,) from lOd. to lid. per pound. If the class of
man I have described has—as iB ofleu the case-
any writing to take away from his bureau and finish at home, he must have light, aod lamp-oil
is at 15 sous a pound ; besides which, after his in

PERSON'S, who have settled or squatted, on     I

by taking the proper legal measures.
Those who have had their lands surveyed Ja
conformity with the United Stales survey, will _.#
need to have the same re surveyed if the County
Surveyor can malce a plot irom the field notes

Twenty per cent on tmrwhole price of the land,
and ten per cent, interest upon the balance due
the State, ie all that it is necessary to pay on receiving certificates of purchase—and ten per cent,
per annum, iu advance, upon the remainder, uutil
the purchaser wishes to pay the entire amount.-.
Persons desiring, can pay the whole price at once.
Take notice, that the present liberal terms upoa
which the State lands are offered may not continue, and that Suction 16, Article 1, of the Stats
Constitution says : " No law impairing the obliga-
tions of contracts shall ever pe passed." So those
who desire may now put their lands beyond tlie
caprice of future legislation.

thus : " Foreigners who are, or who may hereafter
become, bona fide residents of this State, sball enjoy the same rights, in respect to the possession,

Henry EL Lookwood, who commanded the expedi.

troubling himself further in defense of the U.S.
Government. He made a failure of the whole
thing, unless it be excepted that he succeeded admirably well in showing himself to be an unmiti-
a-ted failure. Here, says an Eastern journal, is
how he looked out for turkeys :
Quite a ludicrous scene transpired in the camp of
the Michigan 6th, yesterday, in which our Brigadier-General played a prominent part. It seems
that the General was treating himself to an airing
iu his carriage, wheu he met a soldier on tbe road
with a decapitated turkey iu his hand. The General stopped him, inquired where he belonged, and
was particularly anxious to kuow alt about the
turkey. The soldier told him that he had purchased
it, and the General drove off apparently satisfied.
But the turkey lay heavily on his mind. He could
not imagine how a private could honestly possess
a turkey ; and if a soldier could so far forget him
•elf as to "nurvev" a fowl of .n_h inaa_d-n__it
dimensions, especially while being furnished by the
Government with so rich a diet as sweet potatoes,
he ought to be made an example of. So the General drove off to the camp of the Michigan boys,
having In the meantime worked himself up into a
furious rage, swearing that if found the soldier
should be shot, aud ordered an investigation. The
companies were all parail-'il, and file search began,
the General making the rounds with the company
«Ulcer.. The Michigan boys wore stupified with
astonishment at first, but finally the General was
startled by tho gobbling of a turkey in his rear.
He turned his head to look for the O0____ter, wheu
another clever imitation of a turkey-cock was
heard ia front, and th.n a perfect .form of turkey
calls,cock-a doo_.e floos, the btlsslag of goose, and
other specimens of barnyard vocalism broke out
all over the camp. The General beat a retreat,

Tor,are AN'O Mariposa.—Tbe Stockton Independent says : The roads between this place aud
the mountains have been rendered -almost impassable by the late snows. Land slides are complained
of everywhere in the districts east of the low foot
hills. At Visalia some eighty houses and buildings of all sorts have been destroyed by the flood.
In the grazing aud farming regions of Tulare
county, great losses have been sustained. Nearly
all the fencing has beeo swept away, and it is reported that the stock has almost wholly perished.
The whole country at the head of the San Joaquin
has been covered with water. Many farm houses,
stables, and store-houses have been swept away,
and when the full detail of disaster reach us, it
may be expected that Tulare will be found to have
suffered more iu proportion to her wealth and
population than any other county in the State.

On the appearance of tbis card, the rumor obtained currency that arrangements were making
looking to a hostile meeting between the Senator
and ex Senator, for all of which there was no
foundation.

A Way Tl-tongl. Mount tenia.
At tho present moment, while Europe and America are cotivul.ed with wars and rumors of wars
France is quietly and steadily carrying forward to
a successful completion a work ol gigantic magnitude, one that will do as much towards illustrating
the reign of Napoleon III. as the Simplon did (or
Napoleon I. We refer to the tunnelling of Mount
Cenis, which is being prosecuted with sleepless
vigor, under the direction of the first engineering
talent France c_n produce. The tunnel when completed, will be seven miles and a half long, with a
canal in the centre for carrying off tho subterranean waters. It will abridge the distance between
Paris and Turin one half, placing these capitul.
within seventeen hours of each other, and giving
France an entrance into Italy nt her own will and
pleasure. By means of this tunnel she could pour
her troops into Piedmont before they were known
to be on the march, avoiding equally the toilsome
journey over the Alps, and the dangerous voyage
by the coast.
Capitals are like oaks, they do not thrive well
when too clo.e together, and, in onr opinion, this
tunnelling will bring Paris info dangerous proximity with Turin. The mouth of that mysterou.
tunnel will be to Victor Emanuel like the .word
of Damocles, an ever threateniug danger. Would
his wish to shift his capital to the sunny Hay of
Naples, be explained by his preferring to take his
chances wilh a natural rather than a political volcano ?—Melropoli'an Record.

_reeable. The fertile fields which once were
ere have, by  repeated  freshets,  become  much
damaged by the deposits of sand, and now a large
extent of once arable soil lying on the spit of land
between tbe Yuba and the Feather, is covered
with sand varying in depth from one to eight feet.
At the further end of Yuba bridge, the work has
been washed away, aud the foot traveler descends
to the flat below by a .temporary ladder, Along
the Eliza road the houses have disappeared, and
here and there is seen a plough-beam or a wagon
tongue sacking up helplessly through the sand,
to show that there have been people living on this
virgin desert once. Tbe residence of Major Hopkins is a picture of desolation : "Around the
house you see the tipsofpeacb and pear trees
etandinga foot or two above the dry, white sand,
their rootB being six or eight feet below. The corn
crib is awry, the horses gone, and the sand obliterates every trace of garden, field and road. In
the house lhe lower floor is covered from one to
four feet deep with drifted soil and sand, one corner of the parlor having a bank four or five feet
deep, Irom the edge of which a house plant peers,
half buried, for-th. On the parlor walls are the
marks Of the ascending and descending flood in
lines of dirt, and in the pantry of the deserted
habitation are pieces of household goods glued to
shelves by i.be clayey sediment in sticky masses
Upstairs the water did not reach, but the furniture which the thieves left is piled helter-skelter,
and on the bureau are two cata, the ouly sign of
lile about tbe deserted premises.
Novel Marruois.—Many of your readers will
remember Mrs. John II. Eaton. She was the wife
of Gen. Jackson's first Secretary of War. She was
the daughter of a hotel keeper, and a person of
fascinatingmannerB and acknowledged beauty, and
was a favorite with General Jackson ; but the
w'tv.s of thc other members of tho Cabinet, for
reasons satisfactory to themselves, would not associate with her. This displeased the old hero, who
deemed their objections unjust, and he attempted
to ellect » good understanding among Ihem. Hi.
interference came near breaking up the Cabinet,
and harmony was only restored by sending Cot.
Eaton as Minister to Spain. Tbe lady is 'now residing in this city, having married au Italian dancing master of the mature age of twenty-six. The
acquaintance sprung up thorough his teaching her
grandchildren. The newly married pair are represented on canvass, in their parlor, her head reclining on his bosom in a very loving attitude ;
and as the artist has given her features, one wouM
not suppose her to be over thirty years of a_e.—
She iB iu affluent circumstances, ia very fond of
company, has fine conversational powers', and dispenses hospitality with a libera, battel.—Washington Correspondence Chicago Journal.
ESTtHATED TOO IIiGn.—An exchange says lhat
the published estimates of the number of head of
stock lost by drowning and starving are too high.
Some of the fawner, ssataioed severe loss, while
others, apparently having no greaier facility- -»r
the safety of their stuck, lost scarcely any. The
aggregate equally divided among stock-raisers,
would not be felt.
"Wool Growers A_>_>. Ifill.ii.
A bill has been fnlfo-iiced iu   the Legislature,
restricting the herding of sheep. The Wool (Jrmv-
ers Association has proteslsd against this bill;
from the memorial, we learn the following interesting statistics :
The wool product of the Stale forlS_l,w_s
16,914 bait's, or 4,000,000 pound's, of which COO,000'
pounds were consumed in lbe Stale. This wool
was sold at 12 cents per pound, but the shippers
received 24 cents per pound, making the vnlue of
the product of that year $1.10-1.000. The exports
for four yoarjtare stated as follows ;
1858 .6,464 bates] I860 12,08, bales
1839 H),57o bales | i,si;i 2(1 nil bales

T.ie current year will hardly, there lore, exhibit
v'u"^^^!!.^!1^:!''^^.^^'!' tht nn-llH of this
cent., nnd thc improvement in grades of sheep,
quantity and quality of wool in about the .nine.—
Great attention has been paid to the li.tro__.Mon
of high grade*, More money has hienpaid within
the last three years for thia purpose, than in any
other State ofthe Union for ten years. Calfornia
presents to the sheep farmer natural advantages
unsurpassed by any Slate or eountiy. The increase of this interest lias been marked, _Hbo_g_
it has received no State encouragement. Sheep
farmers desire no Legislative interference. Competent parties estimate that the annual clip of
1872 will be 30,000.000 pounds! They say that
law like that proposed will seriously embarrass the
wool interest, which before many years will occupy a leading place in the productions of the State.

BbBN IND Pakadise.—Thc number of guesses as
to the situation of Paradise, are, indeed, almost
couutless, Besides the localities already indicated,
It has been placed on Mount Ararat ; In a plain on
thc summit of Mount Taurus; in the island or
Ceylon (where there is a mountain called the Peak
of Adam, underneath which the natives tell you
that the first man lies buried, and whereon they
show the gigantic impress of.his foot) j in Sumatra ; in the Canaries ; in the Holy Land ; in Persia ; in Syria ; in Ethiopia j in the land now covered by the Caspian Sea; io the utmost Southern
regions; in the moon; in the Seventh Heaven,
according to Mahomet, (but the last two assertions
abandon the idea of a Territorial Paradise altogether;) and a vast central part of the globe,
comprising a largo piece of Asia and a portion of
Africa, the four rivers being the Gauges, the Tigris, the Euphrates, and the Nile. Nay, an Amer
ican writer has beeu bold enough to assart that
Adam and Eve were created in a Transatlantic
Paradise. The most commonly received opinion
is,_that.it was situated between the confluence and
of Adam and Eve. This is apparently thc locality
somewhat vaguely indicated by Milton iu the
Fourth Sook of Paradise Lost. It should be observed that writers in general frequently confound the terms " Eden" and " Paradise," whereas
there is a clear distinction between them. Eden,
(which is a Hebrew word signifying " pleasure,")
was the mostchoice and exquisite part ofthe world'
This idea o( a peculiar and special seat of pleasure
is conveyed by Moses in the expression, " the garden of Eden,1' which may bo conceived as the innermost sanctuary of delight aud primal loveliness -^AIl the Year Round.
[TaH-ACRAMBNTO,—The Sacramento river, says
the Union, has fallen to about nineteen feet six
inches above low water mark. Thc water in the
lower part of the city recedes at about the same
rate as that of the river—two or three inches per
day,
Torucco COI/rORB.—Tbe Red Bluff Beacon says:
We received a few days since, by the hands of ,\!r,
Gordon, of ihis town, a sample of tobacco, made
and manufactured by Mt. Base, OO .Stillwater, in
Shasta county. We pronounce it a good article,
and would like to see our friends who have irrigated ranches iu this county try tho experiment of
cultivating this popular weed. Knowing something about the culture ol it, we unhesilallngly
pronounce the Sacramento Valley as well adapted
to raising fine tobacoo Tor smoking purposes, or
cigar wrappers as any placo in the Union. The
absence of dews prevents the leaf Irom attaining
tbat thickness and gum mines, which is ?o much
desired by experienced tobacco raisers, for compressing into thc chewing article..
KaisStokMI in CalU'-ohxi...—Mr. Alexanders.
Taylor, in a recent article on the rainy sea.oiis in
California, says iliat these immense rain storms
seem to re'urn about every twenty-live or twenty-
seven years, wilh storms of only a medium severity
at lhe expiration of every ten years, by way ofcom
promiio. The first w.t winter In California, of
which we have authentic account, is Hint mentioned
in Cabrillo's voyage—1548-!). In 1802-3 occurred
another tremendous rain storm, and attain in JS12.
In 1824-25. .2-33, and 1842, there were still great.
er floods, and in 18-18-49 very heavy falls 0. rain
and snow. In 1852 the rains were heavy, since
wheu they have been comparatively light until lbe
recent freshet, which seems to havo renewed the
pluvial glories of the bygone time.
The amount in passage money donated by the
California Steam Navigation Company to the escaping inhabitants, wbo flocked to tbe steamers In
multitudes, is estimated In the circular report oi
the Howards at $10,000.
