LOST-TO SOCIETY  LOST.
Touch not the fallen one—drive ber away,
Guilty and soulless, but beautiful clay ;
Though her heart's bleeding, hear uot her pleading
At any cost;
Forget what is good of her—speak, if you would of
ber,
As lost—to society lost.
So sad and dejected — the poor broken hearted,
Love, honor, and all save life have departed ;
None proffer relief to heal her heart's griel—
Ob, fearful lbe cosi;
No one belriemls her, rashiou condemns her
As lost—10 society lost.
Heed not her sighs, her entreaties or tears-
Spurn her us one for whom nobody cares ;
Lost nnd degraded, to memory she's, laded—
Trifling the cost;
Forget you eVr blessed her, o'er kissed and caress
td her;
She's lost—to society lost.
Oh, pity her not—she has fallen from place ;
Applaud her betrayer—receive him wiih grace;
Smile on her deceiver—but do not relieve her
At any cost _
For such is propriety in christian society
When lost—to tociety lout.
Innocent, loving, betrayed and forsaken—
Guiliy aud fallen—by vice overtaken ;
Let society blame her—try uot lo reclaim her
At any cost;
Forget all her beauty—do society's duty,
She's lost—to society  lost.
Oh. merciless fashion, why do you nurture
Hypocrisy's laws and assassinate virtue ?
Bow to the false text, oh, immaculate sex,
At any cost;
Frown on iho  hilleu   out;, and   your  proud duty's
done—
She's lost—to society lost.
Japanese Pre3ents.—The new Japanese presents just Bent to the President of the Uuited States
from the Tycoou of Japan, are the Guest that have
ever been seeu in this country. A lacquered box
containing a letter thanking the President tor the
reception of his ambassadors—iu most courtly
phrase in characters as stately as those usually
found upon the sides ofa tea box, wrapped iu the
yellowest of yellow silk, with plenty of gilt. A
sword of exquisite steel, with tbe handle bedded
wilh large pearls and mounted in tbe linest gold.
BlockB ul crystal from tbe sacred Fusiyamu Mountain, of diamond clearness. Vases of antique
bronze, exquisitely sculptured in relief with tof
toiBes, and stones of great value. A punch bowl
fit for a Cyclops to " wet his whistle" io, so large
tbat tho President's two sous curled up in it and
thc cover was put oo ; candlesticks, some four feet
high, gold mounted, wilh vases of every variety
ol pattern aud shape ; an entire .suit of am
quito worthy of the inid_le ages. Tho people
anxiously waiting to have these things sent to
Bonie place—the Smithsonian or the Patent Office
—where they can get a glimpse at these gems of
crystal, steel, bronze or porcelain. A whoie dinner set, with hundreds ol pieces of Japanese crape,
eilk and brocade, forms part of this royal present.
HOW TIIK  GUN1IOAT3 WERE   PlKRCED.—A   Wllter
in the Sacramento Bee says :
Wo have read in tbe dispatches lhat at the taking of Fort Douuelsou, one of lbe gutiboats was
shot through and through. The boats were made
to be ball prool so far as. possible, and this accouut
of boring them needs explanation. It is known
tbat a cannon ball of great weight from a rifled
off. Now these gunboats aro constructed so as to
cause the ball to glance dowu into tbo water, or
up into tbe air, if fired at from the water or a low
bauk. Tbeir sides are something like the letter
.4, only not so much so, with the point to tbe «ne
my. A water battery shooting at Ihem might not
harm thera much ; but at Donnelson there was one
battery Qlty feet above water, and another one
hundred feet above water. Now oue of these batteries firiug down on the boats would probably
strike them fair, so that the ball would uot glance,
and thus doubtless were they penetrated.
Farming in Nai-a County.—Nearly every acre
f land iu Napa Valley, which is not too wet ior
plowiug and sowing, will be put iu tbe present
in grain. But there are many hundred
acres of low land which will be too wet for raising
uything but a crop of grass. Many of the hills
aod high lauds, which in former seasons have been
too dry for cultivating grain, aro being plowed up
and put down in wheat, so that we need not apprehend much, i! any, diminution in the wheat crop
thi. year. Perhaps we may expect a larger crop
of bay this season than we have had for several
years before, wilh less demand for it—so many

A singular custom prevails iu some parts of
Bavaria, and was re-enacted only a few weeks
since. When a person in a community is notoriously stingy, or renders himselF obnoxious to his
fellow townsmen, they gather about his house,
drag him forth and hold a sort of mock trial " under the authority of Charlemagne," recite in verse
tbocharges against him, while after each verse
lhe assembly break into loud taunting laughter,
and make a fearful noise with pans, bells, trumpets, cracking of whips, shouts aud stamping. At
the end the culprit has another admonition ; and
other sinners are warned that if they do-not improve, the uext meeting will be held at their
houses. With this the gathering separates as mysteriously as they came together.

Low-Nkcicl:i> DKtsSKS.-Bishop Timon, of Westcin

from the writings of Catherine Becber, Dr. Ellis and

Christian ladies will receive his advice in the spirit
in which it is given, and directs that lhe pastors
under his charge touch upon the subject in their

A Useful Dog.—Mr. Scbeuek, at the Farms, has
a dog which goes out near the railroad track every
night, a few moments before it is time for tbe cars,
and waits nntill they pass, theu picks up the paper
which is thrown off by the expressman, aud can
it to his master. He is always on baud at the
gulat- time, and never fails to bring the paper when
it is there. Monday night lie came back without it
and so confident whs Mr. Schcnck that it had uol
been thrown off, that he walked to.Rockport, and
there learned tbat another person bad been ou tbe
route chat day, instead ofthe regular expressman,
and had forgotten to throw it off. This same dog
used to get thc paper by tho stage coach, ere the
cars comenced running, and never missed bein
his post when the stage came along.—Cape Ann

Mozart and tum Orcjiesti*. ..— Mozart, being ou
a visit at Marseilles, went to the Opera '"incog,"
to hear the performance of his "Villanella Ra pita." He had reason to be tolerably well satisfied
till, in tho midst ofthe principal aria, the orchestra, through some error in the copying of the score,
Bouuded a D natural where the composer had written a D Bharp. This substitutiou did not injure
the harmony, but gave a common-place character
to tho phrase, aud obscured tho sentiment of the
composer. Mozart uo sooner heard it, thau be
started up vehemcutly, and from tbe middle of the
pit, cried out iu a voice of thunder: '■ Will you
play D sharp, you wretches? Thc sensation pro.
duced iu the theatre may be imagined. The actors
were astounded ; the lady who was sinking, stopped short, the orchestra followed her example, aud
the audience with loud exclamations, demanded
the expulsion of tbe offender. He was accordingly
seized, aud required to name himself. He did so,
aud at the uamo of Mozart, the clamor subsided
into a silence of respectful awe, which was 1
succeeded by reiterated rounds ol applause from
all Bides. It was insisted that the opera should
be recommenced. Mozart was installed iu the orchestra, aud directed tho whole performance. This
time the the D sham was played in its proper

Mozart was conducted in triumph to bis hotel.

Cutting op Diamonds.—Although the diamond
la the hardest of all knowu substances, yet it may
be split by a steel tool, provided a blow be applied ;
but this requires a perfect knowledge of tbe atruc
ture, because it will only yield to such means if
certain directions. This circumstance prevents
the operator from forming facets or planes generally, by the process of splitting; he is therefore
obliged to resort to the process of abrasion, which
Ib technically called cutting. Tho process of cutting ib done by fixing the diamond to be cut oulhe
end of a stick or handle, in a small ball of cement,

manner, aud the two stones being rubbed against
each other witb considerable force, they are mutually abraded. Hat surfaces or lacels being thereby produced. Olher facets are lormed by shilling

Mineral Wealth of Cnllfurnln.
Puss M1.1..0 District.—This rich region of silver takes lis name from tbe superintendent of an
exploring party or expedition,  which _et forth on
a voyage ot discovery from San  Francisco  March
4t.li, 18(51.    The inception of this exploring  party
waB induced Irom the belief that the Comsioek silver lode of Washoe, Nevada Territory, was but (he
weak part of a strong belt of mineral ; and tlie re
suit of the explorations bas proven such to be the
case.    The success which rapidly followed the dis
covery and partial developmont of the  Comsteck
lode treated many prospecting parlies, whose field
ol operations were from VV'a^hoe through the moun.
tains south ol that place, and by some of those car-
ties another pari 01 ttie mineral oeu waa uikuuvcidu
about one hundred and twenty miles Irom Washoe,
and  named  the Esmeralda district; the  ores of
this district were fouud to b, ol great value, but
the lodes generally are not very  thick, which creates a belief in tbe minds of pniciical meu that tbe
volcanic action at thU-partioola. point his been 0'
less  fotce than in the Washoe or Russ district- ;
be tbat ns. it may, another extension ol   mineral
having been   found  in a direct   line  with   that of
Washoe, and at a great distance  therefrom, established the belief that at some point, even further
south, other links of the great  chain may be discovered ofgreater extent, if not of richness, than
those comprising lhe  Washoe and  Esmeralda districts.   Accordingly Mr. Horace P. Russ, who bas
been identified w tii the mineral interes'a of California lor many years, formed the New World Exploring and Mining Expedition, and   was elected
by   its  members  as  superintendent ot   the  same.
Afler traveling from Sau Francisco, about Ave
hundred miles southeast, a detachment of the company ascended the Sierra Nevada mountains  to
Iheir summit on the western  slope,   and  prospected thc same for a distance oF  about   forty   miles
but no mineral oi any kind  could  be   found :   the
entire formation of the mountains being gneiss and
felspar, tbe latter in groat exces..   On the return
oftbe pfirty to camp, in a place called Cane Brake,
at the base of the  Sierras, it   was   determined   to
cross the mountains [through   Walker's Pass  without delay, travel up the edge of the Grand   desert
to Owen's Little Lake, divide tbe forces, work up
Irom that southern point towards Esmeralda, giving the country between   tho starling point and
the latter place a thorough examination by lateral
lines, running from lhe eastern base ofthe Sierras
due east about sixty miles: by tbis method it was
bolieved lhat no part of the mineral belt of sufficient magnitude to be worthy  of attention could
escape detection   01*  discovery  by   the  explorers.
The country east of Owen's L_ke  i_  without exception the  most  desolate  and   forsaken   of  any
that Ibe white man of this continent has ever trav
eled over.   Exiiuct craters form the broken moun"
tain, whilst the valleys are   trembling   from  some
hidden ihunders  below,   masses  of pure  sulphur
were deposited at'diQerent points, a  jet  of  sleam
g Iromjlhe centre of e .ch mass, in puffs to the
height of from ten to twenty feet,   and   the   shuddering traveler feels the uncertainly of the ground
0ver which he is passing.    Hell's Half-Acre is the
title of a chosen spot, about lliieen  miles east ol
Owen's Little Lake : it is not a misnomer, for the
,bling below the hirisiug stream at many points,
aud the perfume of sulphur everywhere,  claims it
as au   entry  to  tho   territory  ot   Beelzebub ; bnt
American eiiergy knows   no  boundary   in   its research : that half-acre Las beeu intruded up,   and
it is a litlle singular that since a regular  trail  has
been established through that country as  a  short
cul lo lhe Coso mines these jets of steam no longer play, and the liemulous motion of  tho ground
has ceased.   Many mountaineers believe that his
Satanic Majesty, being offended   by  tho   intrusion
bas moved his underground works furtlmr soulh-
At or near Owen's Lake there is a wall of biack
lava, which  stands  almost perpendicular (in  the
highest place about five hundred feet) and contiu-
uets unbroken for four or five miles. This lava ia
the first evidence presenfed on the eastern slope
(to travelers going through Walker's pent) ofde-
olnea volcanic action of more recent data than
that which formed the great Sierra chain. At a
parallel line, thirly-seecu ami a half miles from
this wall tjcnftt), there is a corresponding line of
lava, and these two walls or line, form a kind of
basin, inside of which*are the craters &e, heretofore described ; as soon as the eastern wall or line
is arossed towards the cast lhe face of the cuuiurv
is changed, and detached portions ol quartz lodes
are plainly visible. The matrix is here found lo
contain both gold _Q_ silver, but not |_ sufficient
quantity to promise the existence ofa future mining region.
The primitive rocks are here broken into Pimli
small fragments as to di-ny the pre-^nee ol lodes
of mineral in attj TOOTldirthf* WMtb; I ir it is ob-
tfkKMKM wh. _ thft Mrcng vcrtebn. of the wt4*_.a«
in shocked inio atoms, a delicate thread W Bllex,
weakened by its embrace, of soft metallic pBUper-
lies must fhare a similar fate ; hence, the exploring
party, after taking a survey for eight or ten days
concluded that section ol the country as valueless,
and dividing iheir lorce moved off iu opposite directions, north-west and south-east The details
as presented in the reports of the sections of the
exploring party, are too volnmuious to be rendered
in this communication. The privations were of
such a character as usually attend explorations
buyond the pale of civilizi ion.
The party who went soulh-cast discovered on
lhe Panamint mountains heavy lodes of sulohuret
of antimony, from twenty-five to Bi.x'y feet in
thickness: five hundred pounds of thia ore has recently been brought to this city for assay. Itis
Ibcogbt lhat by sinking upon these lodes the excess of antimony will give place to argentiferous
galena, or lhe more perfect sulphuret of silver.—
To prove this a superintendent with six miners,
wilh an adequate quantity of provisions and tools.
ba^e been dispatched to that region, known as the
Telescope district, (name derived from the peculiar
shape ofthe monniains,) to sink at least fifty feet
on one of (he lodes, and convey to San Fraucisco
as much ofthe ore from the lowest depth aB they
may have facilities for carrying thither by.paek
animals.
The party who went north-west were more for-
tui,:Ue—in fact a deBcription.of their discovurlos
cahnot be belMed by those who have not seen
them, and ev.n ihen their magnificence couhl not
be comprehended. About seventeen miles nnrlh
of Owen's Great Lake, the superintendent at a distance of eight miles from the camp, believed that
he saw a range of mountains ofa different charac'
ter from any hitherto found—clean and unbroken
upon the surface, formed in ridges as though they
contain seme vertebra, which sustained iheir peculiar shape. On the following'morning, the superintendent, accompanied by Dr. George, one of
the iviil, ir.. a loft, f:\mn for Hi. pnrnngn nf riron.
pectmg the range described, when within about
iwo miles the croppings of the large lode, apparently quartz, bifcarao visible to the eye upon the
summit of one of the foot hills attached to thc main
range. Upon arrival at the base of wbat seemed
at a distance to be a low foot hill, upou which the
croppings rested like a formidable fortification, it
was found to bo difficult of ascent. After three
hours of hard climbing the two gentlemen reached
the summit: and well were they repaid for their
labor, for there reposed like a mighty silver giant,
a lode of argentiferous galena from sixty to eighty
feet io thickness at that place. This lode the superintendent named the Uuion Lode. Upon the
ground were hundreds of tons of loose ore, which
probably had been accumulating for centuries ; as
the surface of the mountain wasted away the lode
fell for want of its usual lateral support. Some of
the ore was taken to camp and assayed, and found
to contain one hundred and seventy-nine dollarH
per ton of 2,000 pouuds. (iold was easily traced
at the base of the pril or test, but preparation had
not beeu made for tbe separation of the precious
metals, and it was calculated upon tho standard
value ofthe inferior metal, silver. Upon actual
survey, taking the vailey as the base Hue, it was
lound that this lode contained above the level of
the valley, in the distance of 8100 lineal feet, over
3,000,000 tons of silver ore ; and as the silver
mines ofthe northern district proves richer as tha
miners descends, who ihen can calculate the Value
ofthe mineral in the Union Lode? Urged on with
renewed energy the explorers set to work earnestly to prospect the mountain north und soulh ot the
Union Lode; thc ground south was very much
broken ; the spurs ofthe mountain were Irregular
in their form, and no trace oT matrix or mineral
could be found ; but north of the Union nearly
