Oh, Gently Breathe I
Oh! gently breathe the tender sigh,
Which fell so sweetly on mine ear,
And let thy soft and beaming eye
Agaiu be radiant with a tear.
I'd rather hear that mournful sound.
And see that drop, so pearly fine.
Than list to the most mirthful sound,
Or view thine eye with rapture shine.
CuORca—Ob ! gently breathe the tender sigh,
Which found a lifuc'riog echo near,
And let thy blue and beaming eyo
Again be softened by a tear.
They speak of fond affection's Bway
O'er all thy pure confiding breast;
They tell that passion's far away,
Nor mars thy peace, nor breaks thy rest.
To me they are more pleasing still,
Thau gayer sight, or merrier sound,
For do they not a tale reveal,
Of love requited and returned.
Oh, gently breathe, kc.
The Great Orators.
"What a man," says Walpole, "Fox; is; after his
long and exhausting speech on Hastings'trial, he
was seen handing ladies into their coaches, with all
the gaiety aud idle prattle of a gallant."
Burke's melo-dramatic trick was a complete failure, when he flung the dagger on the floor of the
House wt Commons, and produced nothing but a
smothered laugh, and a joke from Sheridan :—"The
gentleman haa brought us the knife, but where is
the fork?"
When Lord Erskine made his debut at the bar,
his agitation almost overcame him, and he waa just
going to eit down. "At that moment, said he, I
thought I felt my little children tugging at my gown
and the idea roused me to an exertion of which I
did not think myself capable."
Lord Brougham, speaking of the salary attached
to a rumored appointment to a new judgeship, said
it waB all moonshine. Lyndhurst in a dry and waggish way, remarked—''It may be so, my Lord Harry ; but I have a strong notion that, though it be,
you would like to see tbe 'first quarter' of it.
Pitt and Fox were listened to with profound respect, and in silence, broken only by occasioanl
cheers; but from the moment of Sheridan's rising,
there was au expectation of pleasure which to his
last days, was seldom disappointed. A low murmur of eagerness ran round the house, every word
waa watched for, and hia pleasantry set the whole
assemblage iu a roar.
Canning aaid of Grattan's eloquence, that for tho
last two years his public exhibitions were a complete
failure, and tliat you saw all the mechanism of hia
oratory, without its life. It was like lifting the flap
ofa barrel Organ and seeing the wheels; you saw
the skeleton of his sentences, without the flesh on
them, and were induced to think that what you bad
considered flashes, were merely primings kept ready for the occasion.
Mr. Burke, on one occasion, had just risen in the
House of Commons, with some papers in his hand
on the subject of which he intended to make a motion, when a rough-hewn member, who had no ear
for the charms of eloquence, rudely started up and
said: "Mr. Speaker, I hope the honoreblc gentleman does not mean tt> read that large bundle of
papers, and to bore us with a long speech into the
bargain." Mr. B. wasao swollen with rage as to be
incapable of utterance, and absolutely ran out of
the house. On thia occasion, Geo. Sclwyit remarked that it wag the only time he had aeon the fable
realized—a lion put to flight by tho braying ot an

A liion Adventure in Algeria.
I was roused by something, aud Celt a pain in
ray head, and directly afterward I received a bio
on my head through the side of the tent, which
made me think for a moment I had been struck by
an iron bar with claws on the end, which I carried
with me iu my wagon; but in an instant the idea
flashed across me that it was a lion that was sniffing at me through tho hack of the tent. If I re.
mained there without moving there waa the probability o? the beast tearing up the tent and drag
ging me through. Ou the other hand an attempt
to move closer to the fire would probably be de
tected, as the lion has the eame characteristic!* as
the cat, aud would have carried me off. While
hesitating what to do, the animal, most likely
from not being able to feel me through the wall
of the tent, must have turned away,for after what
was, in fact, but a few moments, but which seemed
a very long time, there was a terrific shriek, foi
lowed by a low, deep growling:, and then a Bhot
and a louder growl,
I felt about for my revolver, which I had placed
beside my head before going to sleep, and creeping round the teut, I saw the horrid beast standing perfectly still, with glaring eyes, and continuing the same low, deep growling, and holding in
his mouth the body of a man. which he occasionally lowered to the ground as if with the intention
of taking firmer hold, but never entirely letting
go of it. I saw by the direction of his look that
he caught sight of me, and so terrible were the associations connected with the beast in my mind
that I dared not move or breathe for some seconds,
when it suddenly occurred tome that it must be
the body of Hamed that he held in bis mouth. My
liking for this man had become so strong that the
desire to rescue oraveuge him drove every feeling
of fear out of my mind, and, with a steady aim, I
fired at his body just behind the shoulder. Singu
larly enough, although I knew I had hit him, hf
merely gave a low growl and remained stationary.
without relaxing his hold on the Arab's body,
How long he would have remained in this state
immobility I can't say, but I waa just about to
Of ]
try the effect ofa second shot when a regular volley of guns was fired from oat ofthe darknesB;
the beast sprang forward toward toward me, almost at the same instant that I felt a sharp, stinging sensation iu the upper part of my arm, and he
felt to tbe ground, so close to we that I stepped
back to avoid a blow from hie paws in his death
"struggles. They did not last long, and as soon as
they were over I fetched a lighted brand from the
fire, and first holding it to the face of the dead
man to see who it was, and feeling much relieved
at finding it was not Hamed, I waved it about as
a signal to the others that they might oome with
safety. They soon came and clustered round the
body ofthe dead lion, some kicking it, and others
spitting on and reviling it, and all cf them claiming the honor of having killed hira—a claim that
they seemed more interested in defending thau in
commiserating tha fate of their dead comrade-
All tho efibrts we made to release tha latter unfortunate from the jaws of the lion were unavailing
without having recourse to our knives, and as there
was not the least doubt of his being dead, for tho
teeth of the powerful brute were buried in his chest
and back, we determined to leave both bodies where
they were till daylight. The first thing I did when
I awoke was to look for tbe bodies of the Arab and
the lion. They were lying where the beast had fallen in the night, and his stiffened jaws still held the
body of the man, as it; a powerful vice. The desire
of preserving a record of the event for my friends
in England to look at was too strong to be resisted;
eo we set to work, cut three pieces of timber to a
point, and having raised the Hon to an upright position, kept him up by means of tlie pieces ot wood.
To conceal these, I planted a shrub hero and there,
which had the desired effect; and the result I obtained was a negative, the like ot which I believe
never was seen. The attitude is as natural as possible, and makes one shudder to look at it.—Photo

There's nothing lost.   The tiniest flower,
That grows within the darkest vale,
Though lost to view, has still the power
The rarest perlume to exhale ;
That perfume, borne on the zephyrs wings.
May visit some lone sick one's bed,
And like the balm affection brings.
'"Twill scatter gladness round her head.
There's nothing lost.   Ths; drop of dew
That trembles in the rose-bud's breast,
•"Will seeS its home of ether blu<%
And fall again as pure and blest ;
Perchaice to ryvel in the spray.
Or moisten the dry, parching sod,
Or mingle in the mountain spniy,       ,
Or eparlke in the bow of God.
There's nothing lost.    The seed that's caat
By careless hands upon the ground,
Will yot take root, and may at last
. A green and glorious tree be found ;
Beneath its shade, some pilgrim may
Seek shelter from the heat of noon,
While in its boughs the breezes play,
And aohg birds sing their sweetest tune.
There's nothing lost.   The slightest tone
Or whisper from a loved one's voice,
May melt a heart of hardest stone,
Aad make a saddened heart rejoice ;
And tben, again, the careless word
Our thoughtless lips too ofteo speak,
May touch a heart already stirred.
And cause that troubled heart to break.
There's nothing lost.   The faintest strains
Of breathing from the dear one's lute,
In memory's dream may come again,
Though every raonrnlul string be mute ;
The music of some happier hour,
The harp that swells with love's own woi
May thrill the soul with deepest power,
When still the hand that swept its chords.

E. P. RUSSELL'S   PATENT.
•FRANCIS   MELIUS,
HAVING purchased the patent right ofthe above
valuable invention, for the purpo'se of supplying the counties of Los Angeles, San Bernardino
stud Sao Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored.
The public are aware that it has been the sthdy of
■ .sieutifie men, architects aud builders, for many years
t,i discover an article for Roofing purposes, thiit will
\i ithstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious
i » water, and of sure  protection against fire.    The
i .iventor ef this roofing labored many years to com-
' diiy articles which would answer the above purpose
■Uul obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon  tin and  shingles, aud the destruction .by
tlie sun and frost of the various compositions used
Itfr roofing.    Thia he succeeded in doing, and now,
■after six years of the severest trial we would invite
Uie ckreful attention of all interested in such matters,
believing that they will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects we  believe  that  its  equal is not at
present known.   This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs njf every description, either steep or fiat, and
can be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than she first and at half the cost of the latter.
TVo coats of the mastic  put on over an old leaky
fm roof, will make it as good as nexy at one-third of
the cost.    In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling
or eanvitss is used, which  is  thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water-proof preparation, after Which
U receives a thick coating, upon both sidee, of: the
floar of soapstOue^ which sets iuto the texture of the
canvass, ani gives  it  a firm body, making it very
alaatifl and durable.  After tbe canvass, as prepared,
is -pat upon the roof, another coating of mastic,which
is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it, making it
fireprorrf in every respect.    By exposure, this coating beoomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that
can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as
durable as anvthing known; and we do most candidly
and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything
of the kind yet discovered;  and alter a severe test
df iriany years, stand as reliable and good as when
first p«t on, without change or^deeay.    Alt that we
ask is, that a careful examination may be given it,
and we feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation Which we offer of it.    Annexed we give
you the names of some  of the persons using this
tooting, and to whom we are at liberty to refer:

Lo*a Angelea, Aug. 28,185«
The vote has therefore increased since tlie electiou of Supreme Judge, oue year ago, 22,099, or
more than one-fourth.
Taking the average of the vote cast for all the
Democratic candidates at the late electiou, we End
it amounted to 59,712.
This is the largest vote ever cast by the Democratic party in California. It is 0,347 more than
was c'tst for President Buchanan in 18,31! ; G,590
more than Governor Weller received in 1857 ; and
35,113 more than Judge Baldwin received in 1S58.
In 1850. the Opposition polled for Fillmore and
Fremont, au aggregate vote of 50.858; ih 1857,
for Stanly and Bowie, 40,511; iu 1858, for Curry,
26,189; and in 1859, ior Curry and Stanford, -11,-
441. The Republicans first attempted an organization in 1856. Since that time their vote ''has
been growing small by degrees aad beautifully
Iess><"
In 1850, they polled for Fremont 20,693 votes ;
in 185?, for Stanly, 21.040 votes | In 1858, for
Tracy, (for Congress,} 9,410 votes ; and in 1S59,
for Stanford, 10,139 votes.
Every one of the Democratic State candidates,
against whom there was not a fusion, carried,
either by plurality or majority, eyery county in
the State except Napa.
Mr. Latham, and with him most of the Democratic candidates, carried, by absolute majority
over the combined Opposition, thirty-eight out of
fhe forty-four counties in the State. The six counties, in each of which the combined Opposition
vote exceeded the Democratic vote, are Butte,
Humboldt. Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo and
Santa Cruz. In these, the aggregate vote was
8,798 for Latham ; 10,494 for Curry and Stanford
—majority against Democracy, 1,69(3; a majority
more [han neutralised by the Democratic majority
iu the single couuty of Lob Augeles.
Taking the vote for Governor as the test, the
returns further show, that the several counties
polled, in the order ol precedeucc, the following
aggregate vole :—
Loud pe Redcuffe.—We have another instance of the waywardness of nature in this respect in a nobleman of no mean celebrity, who ia
not unfrequently in the lobby, to wit, Lord Stratford de Redclifle, better known in diplomacy as
Sir Stratlord Canning. This remarkable nisui has
beenconneeted with the diplomatic service for half
acenlury, during which time he has represented
his country at almost every court iu Europe, and
once went across the Atlantic on a special mission
fo Washington. But it was reserved for Constantinople to be the scene ol his most, eminent services. He was the Euglish Embassador at the
Court of the Sultan in 1841, and did not permanently abdicate his high positiou until 1S57; and
such was his influence and power there that he
was generally consered  to be a Viceroy.
Indeed, sometimes it appeared as though the
Sultan was King, and his lordship ''Viceroy over
him.1- Perhaps it would be wrong to call Lord
de Reacliffe great man; but that he has shown
himself to be something more thau common there
is no doubt. But, as we have hinted, there are
lew or no indications of power in his appearance.
And as the little grey-headed pale-faced old gentleman glides acre       ' ■■   	
obby, you would never

closer view than is pemitted to vulgar  peo-

never deem him to be more than a cunning diplomatist, and not even then, if we had not kuowo
his history.
The Survey oi Culllorulu Lnnil Claim*.
Judge Hoffman, of the United States District
Court, yesterday, delivered a long opinion in the
land case of The United States va J. L. Folsom.—
Thia case is a claim under a Mexican grant, to A
ranch.of eleven leagues of land in -^adr'amento
counly, which claim, as it has been surveyed, includes the town of Folsom. Tlie title fs iVndoubt-
edly genuine, aud was confirmed by the Board ot
Land Commissioners, and subsequently the Government abandoned the appeal which it had taken
to the District Court; and the title ofthe claimant was thus perfected to the amount of land
claimed. Ihe grant, however, did not specify the
exact limits ofthe laud, and so it devolved upon
theU. S. Surveyor to fix the boundaries. Ha did
so and sent the plat to Washington, The land la
all or nearly al! of it within twenty miles of Sacramento city, and is therefore valuable, and was
consequently settled upon by numerouw squatteri,
who would naturally oppose the claim from beginning to end. Many of these had settled at the
place now called Folsom, and thus gave value to
the land there, and the claimant acsefted' thtit
that place was on his ranch. The Surveyor made
the survey so as to bring tho town of Folsom on
the ranch. Tho people of the town thereupon
sent remonstrances against the survey to Washington, to the Department of tho Interior, which han
the supervision oF all the surveys, and the high
officials there disapproved ofthe survey and ordered a hew one.- The claimant expecting that of
course the next survey would have different boim-
darics, aud would not include the valuable town
of Folsom. had the first survey brought into
Court, and moved that it bo confirmed aud made
part of the final decree of confirmation. The object here was to preserve the present boundaries
by the action of the Court. The motion waa
made uuder the recent decision of the U. S. So-'
preme Court in the lato Possatt case, that the'
District Court has jurisdiction to revise, reject
or confirm the surveys made by the Surveyor
General ot confirmed Spanish grants. The United States District Attorney opposed the motion,'
saying that the survey having beeu rejected by
the authorities at Washington had lost its official
character and was really not a "survey" in the legal sense ofthe term ; or if it was a survey, then
it should be left as it is until objected to, whereas
no objetion has yet been made to it, in Court.
Judge lloll'man seemed to consider these positions correct, and he refused to confirm the survey. He says the principle of the Fossatt decis-*
ion is not restricted to that case solely, but applies to all land cases before the Court. He holds
that the surveys are valid aud binding uutil objected to in his Court; he does not seem disposed to take any action until objection is made.—
He adds tliat the decree of confirmation previous
to the survey must be considered as ''final'' in the
sense as used iu the act of 'ol, but not final in regard-to stopping proceedings in tbe Court in re-*
gard to the location of tbe land,—Alia..
