Along a road two Irish ladies, One Summer's day were walking. And all the while, with laugh and shout, In heavy strains were talking. About the fair, about the girls, And who were held at dancing; While at each pretty face they met Their eyes were brightly glancing. And as they strode for many a mile, They grew in three quinces skisy, And new and then, from up to Up, They passed the darling whisky. At length, before them in the hedge, The roadside view commanding, They saw its white sides lathered over, A mile stone lonely standing. They read, and quickly dotted their hairs, With sorrow in their faces; Then turned with reverential awa, And stepped back several paces. "Speak low, we're near the dead," said one, "His grave we'll not be trethlin; An old man sure 100 and. His name is Miles from Dublin. Washington Irving. William Irving settled as a merchant in New York, where he became the father of eleven children, of whom Washington (born in 1783) was the youngest. He was sent to school in his fourth year, and at a very early age evinced a passion for reading. He was particularly fond of voyages and travels, which produced such an effect on him that at the age of fourteen he was on the Practice and training may bring me more into rule, but at present I am as useless for regular service as one of my own country Indians, or a Don Cossack." He afterwards proposed to issue an English edition of his "Sketch-Book," at his own risk, but his publisher failed when the first volume only had been produced. The book became so rapidly popular, however, on both sides of the Atlantic, that Mr. Murray resolved to become its publisher, and thenceforth Irving's reputation was made. A second volume of the "Sketch-Book," "Bracebridge Hall" and the "Tales of a Traveler," succeeded the last work, appearing in 1824; the author's residence during the interval of their composition being at London and Paris. In 1826 he set out for Madrid, for the purpose of examining some important documents relative to Columbus, which had just been discovered in a Jesuit college in that city. His researches in the Spanish archives, as well as the explorations of the old cities of Spain, resulted in the publication of several of the most popular books—the "History of the Life and Voyage of Columbus" the "Voyages and Discoveries of California." The Merger County. About once in four o'clock the question, "Was Miles deferred by the Freemasons up in the newspapers, and with as much rervor as action it refers to was yesterday.

He was panied to Quebec, where the British navy, and was a ship which left soon after land. Later, he accompained vessel to Auft his period of service being Washington Irving William Irving settled as a merchant in New York, where he became the father of eleven children, of whom Washington (born in 1783) was the youngest. He was sent to school in his fourth year, and at a very early age evinced a passion for reading. He was particularly fond of voyages and travels, which produced such an effect on him that at the age of fourteen he was on the point of eloping from home and engaging as a sailor. The predilection for the sea was probably inherited, as an inseparable part of his natural constitution, from his ancestors, the adventurous denizens of the storm-swept Orcades. His father having died while Washington was still young, his education, which thenceforth took place at home, devolved upon his elder brothers, young men of considerable attainments. His health, during youth and early manhood, was exceedingly delicate; and though his studies were retarded by this circumstance, his imagination and perceptive faculties gained by it; for, unable to sit closely to his books, he spent a great deal of his time in wandering about Manhattan Island, observing the picturesque aspects of nature in that place, and listening to the old traditions of the old Dutch and other settlers. It is to these first impressions of his youth that so much of the quaint piquancy of his writing is due. His literary career was commenced 1802, with a number of sketches contributed to the "New York Morning Chronicle," entitled "Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle." His health was, however, so frail that he was compelled to travel, with a view to its renovation. He crossed the Atlantic, and visited France, Italy, Switzerland. Holland and England. On his return to New York, he, together with Mr. Kirk Paulding, commenced a series of humorous and graphic sketches, which were published under the title of "Salmagnudi." This work obtained a considerable degree of popularity, but was suddenly stopped at the end of 1807. After this he wrote a number of tales and essays for the magazines and newspapers, and about the same time began to study the law; but although he was admitted to the bar, he never practiced as a barrister. In 1809 was published the humorous "History of New York, by Diedrich Knickerbocker," which instantly made Irving one of the most popular among London and Paris. In 1826 he set out for Madrid, for the purpose of examining some important documents relative to Columbus, which had just been discovered in a Jesuit college in that city. His researches in the Spanish archives, as well as the explorations of the old cities of Spain, resulted in the publication of several of the most popular books—the "History of the Life and Voyage of Columbus" the "Voyages and Discoveries of the Companions of Columbus," the "Conquest of Granada," and "Tales of The Alhambra." In 1829 he was appointed Secretary of the American Legation in London, the Royal Society of Literature awarding him one of its gold medals, and the University of Oxford conferred upon him its honorary degree of L.L.D. About the same time, 1832, "after an absence of seventeen years, he saw again the blue line of his native land," as he has said, and on landing, a most enthusiastic reception awaited him. Leaving New York soon afterwards in company with Mr. Ellsworthy, the Indian Commissioner, he traveled in the Far West, his knowledge of Indian and prairie life being reproduced in a series of entertaining works, the chief of which were "Tour on the Prairies," Astoria, or Enterprise Beyond the Rocky Mountains," and the adventures of Captain Bonneville." These were followed by a variety of sketches supplied to the American periodicals. In 1841 he was nominated minister plenipotentiary to the Court of Spain, representing his country with distinguished success at Madrid, till 1846. when he was, at his own wish, recalled. Washington Irving hereupon retired to his beautiful estate on the banks of Hudson, about 25 miles from New York, where he had purchased a few years before. In this charming retreat he lived, engaged in literary labor, till his death; narrating the rise and progress of Mohametism in his lines of "Mohamed and his Successors," and the adventures of Oliver Goldsmith, in his biography of that poet and essayist. Besides these, he revised his complete works, and published a collected edition of them. His last productions were "Chronicles of Woolfert's Roost," a series of sketches in the style of the old "Sketch-Book," and the "Life of Washington," the first volume of which was published in 1855. Correspondence of Turkish Lovers. A sad tale comes from Ana, in this county, we lea-death by shooting, of Mr. Perkins, who formerly that place, and who, after well known circumstances known to the people in this city. Our correspondent seems that she left her and went up to Red Bluff a new name, was conduct- obtained a considerable degree of popularity, but was suddenly stopped at the end of 1807. After this he wrote a number of tales and essays for the magazines and newspapers, and about the same time began to study the law; but although he was admitted to the bar, he never practiced as a barrister. In 1809 was published the humorous "History of New York, by Diedrich Knickerbocker," which instantly made Irving one of the most popular American writers. On the breaking out of the war between England and the United States, a few years afterwards, he was attached, with the rank of Colonel, to the staff of General Tompkins, Governor of New York. On the establishment of peace, he went to Liverpool to represent the commercial house of Irving Brothers, a firm which subsequently failed; whereupon Washington Irving occupied himself exclusively with literature. After having traveled over England, he commenced his "Sketch-Book," forwarding his manuscript in installments to New York where it was published. The very favorable manner in which the London critics spoke of this work induced Irving to seek publisher for it in England. He was a long time unsuccessful in this attempt, and having already met with an hospitable reception at Abbotsford, by Sir Walter Scott, he now sought that gentleman's advice. Although Scott could not help him to a publisher he offered to promote him the post of editor for a periodical then about to be started in Edinburgh. Irving declined this kind proposal. "My whole course of life," he said, "has been desultory; and I am unfitted for any periodically recurring task, of any stipulated labor or body or mind. I have no command of my talents, such as they are, and have to watch the variations of my mind as I should those of a weathercock. Correspondence of Turkish Lovers. The art of writing is not general among the Turks, and when a lover wishes to communicate his sentiments in writing they have a mode of effecting it without pen, ink, or paper, by means of flowers, fruits, woods, silks, stuffs and colors, of which they make a packet each article having an allegorical sense. The packet is called a "selam." They have a dictionary, which they know by memory, of the allusions they wish to give by their flowers. An anilret signifies, "We are both of one mind;" a piece of rosebush, "I weep continually, but you deride my tears;" a piece of cloth, "I am tired with your importunities;" a piece of buckram or canvass, "We shall be together to morrow;" a piece of silk, "You have gained my mind;" a looking glass, "I am ready to sacrifice myself for you;" a pistol, "I love you very much." A grain of rainn, some blue silk, a pea, a morsel of sugar, and a piece of the wood of aloes arranged in a certain order, form a billetdonx to this effect. "My heart, I am in love with you; the pain which my love occasions to me has nearly deprived me of my senses; my heart passionately desires yours; give my disease the necessary remedy." When the Constitution was adopted there was seventy-five post-offices in the Union, now there are 39,950. By a private letter from Ana, in this county, we learnt death by shooting, of Mr Perkins, who formerly lived at that place, and who fell well known circumstance known to the people in this portion of this county, and this city.

The appearance on the stage of Susan B. Anthony and Manra De Force Gordon was greeted with mingled cheers and hisses.

It tears that twelve young men of city swore off on New Year's 1871, and agreed to deposit with of their number, on the first of each month, ten dollars each, total to be divided among the members of the association who on first day of January, 1872, did prove to have been faithful their pledge. One by one the members backslid and yielded to liquid temptation, until only a single individual was left, who at on New Year's day was to receive $1,400. The only one faithfound among the faithless, proceded to the rendezvous at the apted hour. He waited until ten minutes after noon, and then night he would run into the son next door and get a nip. He just swallowed it when ten of other members entered to take noonday Angostura, and he had to his horror that his watch twenty minutes fast, and the day was lost. The eleven, there was proceeded to the residence of treasureer, and found that he had all the money playing drawer with one of the church truesion. The sad occurrence has cast a shadow over the whole community. Terrible Tragedy. By a private letter from Santa in this county, we learn of the bush by shooting, of Mrs. B. G. Cain, who formerly resided at place, and who, from many known circumstances is well down to the people in the southern county, as well as of city. Our correspondent says: seems that she left her husband went up to Red Bluff, and under new name, was conducting busi- the Committee on Credentials. Wm. W.

Galvin from Utah are on the Committee on Plate form. Wm. H. Fvans of the latter Territory is on the Committee on Organization and Rules. CINCINNATI May 3—On the sixth and last ballot Horace Greeley was nominated for President. Gov. B. Gratz Brown of Missouri is nominated for Vice President. Number of Eggs in A Hen—R has been ascertained that the ovarium of a fowl is composed of 600 ovules or eggs; therefore a hen, during the whole of her life, cannot possibly lay more than 600 egge, which, in the natural course, are distributed over nine years in the following proportion: First year after birth, 16 to 20 Second do 100 to 120 Third do 120 to 135 Fourth do 100 to 115 Fifth do 60 to 80 Sixth do 50 to 60 Seventh do 35 to 40 Eighth do 15 to 20 Ninth do 1 to 10 It follows that it would not be profitable to keep hens after the 4th year, as their produce would not pay for their keeping, except when they are of a valuable and scarce breed. The ceremony of ordaining Miss Wilson a deacon in the Episcopal church was made the occasion of a special service, recently in Brooklyn. Bishop Littlejohn preached on the occasion to a crowded congregation, from Phillipians iv., 8: "And I entreat these also, true yoke-fellow, help those women which labored with me in the Gospel with Clement,and also with other my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the Book of Life." A judge and a joking lawyer were conversing about the doctrine of the transmigration of the souls of men into animals. "Now," said the judge, "suppose you and I were to by a private letter from Santa in this county, we learn of the shooting of Mrs. B. G.

The late Thaddeus Stevens left law library to his nephew, an edition that the latter abstained from the use of malt liquors for five. The nephew, however, failcarry out the condition, and library was put up at auction in Philadelphia last Friday. The two hundred books sold for one thousand dollars. A judge and a joking lawyer were conversing about the doctrine of the transmigration of the souls of men into animals.

"Bee cause," was the reply, "I have heard of an ass being a judge, but of a horse—never. A REMARKABLE TREE — We have been shown a whettstone sent by D. B. Rea, Esq., of Jacksonville, Oregon, to his father in this county. It was taken from a petrified tree. Mr. Rea writes: "I have sent you a chip off a tree that has turned to stone near here. The limbs and all have petrified into regular rock. It makes the best of whettstone. You can see all the grains of wood distinctly." The Governor of Kansas has approved of an act providing that persones convicted of murder shall be imprisoned one year before being hanged, and that the death penalty shall only be executed upon the warrant of the Governor. This gives the condemned all the chances arising from false testimony and misconstruction of circumstances.
