The Editor’s Adriaen.
Says one, your subjects are too grave,
Too much morality you have —
Too much about religion ;
Give me some witch or wizard tales,
|rV ith slip-shod ghosts, with fins aud scales,
Or feathers like a pigeon.
I hate to read, another cries.
Those monstrous fashionable lies—
In other words, those novels,
.Composed of kings, aud queens, and lords,
Of border wars and gothic hordes,
That used to live in hovels.
No —no, cries one. we’ve had enough
Of such confounded love-sick stuff,
To craze the fair creation ;
(jive us some recent foreign news,
Of Russian, Turk, the Greeks at d Jews,
Or any other nation.
Another cries. I want more fun,
A witty anecdote or pun,
A rebus or a riddle ;
Some long for missionary news,
And some of worldly carnal views,
Would like to hear a liddle.
Another cries, I want to see
A jumbled up variety —
Variety in all things ;
A miscellaneous hodge-podge print;
Composed—ogly to give that hint—
Of multifarious small things.
I want some marriage news, says miss,
1 constitutes my highest bliss
To hear of weddings plenty ;
For in a time of general rain,
None suffers from a drought ’tis plain—
At least nut one in twenty.
J want In hear of deaths, says one,
Of people totally undone
By losses, fil e or lever ;
Another answers, lull as wise,
I’d rather have the fall and rise,
Ol racoon skins or beaver.
Some signify a secret wish
f or now and then a savory dish
Ot politics to suit them ;
But here we rest at perfect case.
For should they swear the moon was cheese,
We never would dispute them.
Or grave or humorous, wild or tame,
I.oily or low, ’tis ail the same,
Too haughty or 100 humble,
And every editorial wight
Has naught to do but what is right,
And Jet the grumbler grumble.
American Annexation in the East. —The
Chinese Herald of July 9, says that Commodore
Terry has already commenced annexing terri
tory on the coast of Asia :
•• Information has reached us privately that
while tjie United States licet were in tjie neigh
borhood of Xapican (Napakiung ?) the Susque
hanna and Saratoga went on a cruise eastward,
and touched at several beautiful islands, where
they distributed live stock. They also touched
at an island named Bouian. To their surprise,
they discovered n tew European residents, tun
is’ingol Enjilish, Scotch. Irish and Spanish, who
had left whalers and established themselves
there. Among them were about eleven women.
Tit Governor of the island is a Scotchman. He
claims the island as bis own, and has been set
d here about twenty years. He has a family
. I .> Vend children, one ot whom was drowned
a lev.- days before the Susquehanna touched there,
endeavoring to cross the bar.
The Commodore has made a purchase of a
piece of land containing about ten acres, for SSO.
It is in n good situation, on one of the best sites
in the harbor, and is intended fotWi Government
Coal Depot. The island is mountainous, an t the
harbor excellent, having from eighteen to twen
ty fathoms of water at the anchorage. Shell fish,
eu.ch as lobsters and crayfish abound. On land,
plenty of wild goats arc to be found. Tlunis,
bananas, plantains, and other varieties of fruit
are abundant on the island.
The Russian frigate Pallas and a Russian
brig-of-wnr, immediately followed the American
squadron.”
An Entirely New Style of Navigation.—A
letter from Venice of the 22d ult., in tbe New
Prussian Gazette, says: —“A young nobleman,
M. S , nephew of the Baroness de \V ,
who, by his Herculean strength and his acts of
rashness —such as racing on horseback against
a railway train, and swimming from this place
to Mestre, carrying an open umbrella in his
hand —has acquired a kind of renown, recently
made a bet that he would perform the passage
from Venice to Trieste atone, and standing on
two planks four feet long by one foot wide and
four inches think, strongly attached to each oth
er in the middle by an iron clasp, and with no
other help than a pole. On Friday morning
last, this young gentleman made his appearance
before the Prazetfa on this raft of ids own in
vention, on which it was very difficult te stand
upright panel reserve an equilibrium. Scarcely
bad he passed the Lido than he was upset by a
wave. He did not, however, lose courage, but
bringing bis raft to the shore, repaired it, and
alter placing on it a hojf containing some provis
ions, again started. After six hours’ uninter
rupted movement of his arms, he was seen from
the steeple of St. Mark's Church at a short dis
tance from Carorle, when he disappeared from
sight The Trieste Gazette adds that this extra
ordinary voyage was accomplished, and that M.
S arrived in that port safe and sound.—
The distance from Venice to Trieste is more
than 70 English ndles, allowing for the neces
sary deviation from the straight course.”
The Measure or the Spanish Leagi e. —We
translate front the Spanish portion of the Star
the following on the relative size of the Spanish
and American leagues and varus or yards :
According to the opinion of the two Ameri
can surveyors in this city, the Mexican Vara is
equal to 33 inches of American measure. Ta
king this estimate tor correct, a Mexican League
of 5000 varas square is 4553 yards aud P 2 inches
square, or 21.003,893 square yards, or 4.339
acres, and 3,133 square yards. ' But according
to the assessments made in this county, 4.787
acres are reckoned to a Mexican league'—a dif
ference ot 447 acres and 1.707 square vards.—
The county is said to contain 1,800,000 acres,
and the difference between the two modes of
calculation would be 167.461 acres, and a dif
ference in the amount of taxes of *2.000 or $3.-
000. We hope that the Surveyor General, who
will be in this city in a short time, will give this
subject his attention.
codfish, mackerel and Sardines
are said to be abundant in the ocean, near the
Northwest of our State. A vessel arrived at San
F nincisco a few days since from a fishing cruise,
with seven hundred codfish.

Wild Womx.—The Alta contains a descrip
tion of a wild woman wbo lately died iu Shu
Francisco, from which we extract the follow
ing:—
This woman, it appears, was accidentally left
on the island of San Nicholas—which is about
sixty miles from Santa Barbarar-many years
ago, when the rest of the few wbo lived there
were taken off to the mainland. It was known
that she bad been left, and attempts were made
to find her without success. Traces of her ex
istence there have been seen from time to time,
but uot until recently has sheerer been seen by
any one. when a Mr Niedever, of Santa Barba
ra, who was coasting about San Nicholas, in
search of otters, suddenly came upon her. She
manifested little surprise at Niedever’s appear
ance, and willingly left her solitary abod.e. The
dress of bird skins which she wore is a great
curiosity. How she killed the birds is unknown,
or how she contrived to form the needle with
which she sewed the skins together. A bottle
made ol wicker work was also brought away,
md it passes belief that human skill could, with
no tools but a small piece of rusty hoop iron,
make anything so perfect. What long and
dreary desolation this woman endured, or
whether her life was ever diversified by any
hiug to break the monotony of her lonelim s*.
is unknown. She understood not a word of any
language spoken by the nearest Indians, and
lied before anything could be learned of the in
cidents of her dark existence.
t Taunt and scuffing at the humble condi

those who are foolish enough to indulge in th< m,
and they tire generally sufficiently punished, ll
did happen to me to he born in a Jog cabin, rais
ed among the snow drifts of New Hampshire, at
i period so early, that when the smoke tirst rose
front its rude chimney, and curled over the fro
zen hill, there was no similar evidence of a white
man’s habitation between it and the settlements
in the river Canada. Its remains still exist. I
make it an annual visit. I carry my children to
it to teach them the hardships endured by the
generations which have gone before them 1
love to dwell on the tender recollections, the
kindred ties, the early affection, and narrations
and incidents which mingle with all I know of
this primitive family abode. 1 weep to think
that none of those who inhabited if. tire now
among the living; and if ever I fail in affection
ate veneration for him who raised it, and de
fended it against savage violence and destruc
tion, cherished all domestic comforts beneath its
roof. a;id through fire and blood of seven years’
revolution shrank from no toil, no sacrifice, to
serve his country and raise his children to a
condition better than his own, may mv name,
and the name of my posterity, be Molted from

Declivity or ffivr.us. — A very slight declivitv
suffices to give the running motion to water.
Three inches per mile, in a s/poo'fj. straight
channel, gives n velocity of three miles an hour.

ica, running lor a thousand miles between the
two ridges of the Andes, falls only five hundred

ment of the thousand miles it is seen descending
in rap ds and cataracts from the mountains. The
gigantic Rio de la Plata has so gen le a descent
to the ocean, that in Paraguay, fifteen hundred
miles from its month, large ships are seen, which
have sailed against the current all the way by
the fori e of the wind alone; that is to say, which
on the beautifully inclined plane of the stream,
have been gradually lifted by the soft wind, and
even again the current to an elevation greater
than that loftiest of our spires. — Arnett's Classics.
nr The present .Sultan is the first Turkish
monarch who has not mnrde'red (da brother.'
This dangerous relative lives, and is regarded as
the bead of the old Turkish party. Ihe Sultan
abhors war, and detests capii.il punishment. He
has a great fondness for music, but, after learn
ing it all ljis lite, he has only been able to play
one tune on the piano, It is a march, which
the Sultan obligingly plays for everybody, on
all occasions. He is also very fond of cham
pagne, which he drinks under the pretence that
the Korun only forbids fermented drinks.
£Fnt is said in an English paper that to this
day, the Emperor of Russia cannot write a Rus
sian letter. He is said to be devo ed to the Em
press. He is, however, a bad host. The ex
pression of his face destroys gayely. At the halls
at the palace, he insists upon both sexes w< tir
ing the Russian costume, to the great disgust of
the ladies. The heir to the throne, Alexander,
is a liberal, amiable man. The Dutchess of
Lendlteuhurg, one of the Emperor's daughters,
is said to he one of the cleverest women in Eu
rope, with a taste for diplomacy.

Amusing.— lt is really amusing to read in
many of Eastern papers, descriptions of certain
places in California, that vary materially from
their correct locality. In Gleaseu’s factorial ol

dar. and was first discovered by some miners

She Had Him.— ln his lecture on Monday
evening, says the Portland Transcript, Dr. Boyn

girl the manner in which a lobster casts his shell,
when he has outgrown it, he said—“ What do
you do when you have outgrown your clothes f”
" You throw them -side, don’t you’ ?” Oh. no.”
replied the little one, " tre let out the locks !"
The Doctor confessed she had the advantage of
him there.
The editor of the Galena Jeffersonian., who is
a doctor " by trade,” gives it as his deliberate
opinion that whisky should not be drunk in
warm weather. He is equally decided ou an
other point, namely, that it should never be
drunk when the weather is not warm.
