ANTONY AND CLEOPATHA. BY WM. H. LYTLE. I am dying, Egypt, dying. Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast, And the dark Plutonian shadows Gather on the evening blast; Let thine arms, O Queen! support me, Hush thy saba and bow thine ear, Hearken unto the great secrets Thou, and thou alone must hear. Though my scarred and veteran legions Bear their eagles high no more, And my wrecked and scattered galleys Strew dark Actium's fatal shore— Though no glittering guards surround me. Prompt to do their master's will— I must perish like a Roman, Die the great Triumvir still. Let not Caesar's servile minions Mock the lion than laid low; 'Twas no forman's band that slew him, Twas himself that struck the blow. Hear, then, pillowed on thy losom, Ere his star fades quite away, Him, who drunk with thy caresses, Madly threw a world away. Should the base, plebeian rabble Dare assail my fame at Rome, Where the noble spouse Octavia Weeps within her widowed home. Sook her—say the gods have told me— Altara, augura, circling wings— That her blood, with mine commingled, Yet shall mount the throne of kings. And for three, star-eyed Egyptian, Glorious sorceress of the Nile, Light the path to Stygian horrors With the splendors of thy smile; Give this Caesar crowns and arches, Let his brow the laurel twine, I can scorn the Senate's triumphs, Triumphing in love like thins. How Mt. Diablo was named. The aborigines, as we are told, called this great landmark of California Ka-Moo-Kum—the mighty mountain. The Spaniards called it Sierra de los Gorgones, either of which is preferable to its present name, which really does not belong to it, but to a small hill seven miles to the north, to which the name was applied from the following incident: About the yr 1814 a party of Spanish soldiers were sent from the Presidio of San Francisco to chastise the tribe of Indians who roamed through that part of the Coast Range. In a fight that took place three of the Spaniards were killed and the others 'retired in good order' to the little hill as a place of refuge against the swarms of Indians. At night the sentry, half asleep at his post, fancied he saw a spectral figure of colossal proportions passing through the air where his companions lay sleeping. Terrified by the apparition, he cried out "El Diablo! El Diablo!" twice. The Spaniards being more afraid of the devil than of the Indians, fled from the spot, which was thereafter known as Mt. Diablo. As there was a good spring of water in the vicinity, it was often resorted to by the hunters, who, in describing it to their friends, called it the Mount Diablo spring. In after years settlers began to make their homes near Mt. Diablo, and when the great rush came in 1848-9 the name was transferred from the Spanish Grand Judge Foster explains immense land grants, known as ranchos, were The first settlement of Abelonia was undertaken by the crown mainly, if not solely purpose of Christianizing ans. Five garrison towns established, in which a troop hundred cavalry were staged for protection ofSIONs. In 1770, two Pueblas established by order of the Mexico, where soldiers charged could retire with illies and reside. The two were Los Angeles and Santa was not until 1830 that ranches were made outside Pueblos and garrisoned to visually, permits were given to discharged soldier upon unoccupied land; were at all times under to remove, when required by the missions.

The San Francisco Chronicle sends us a circular describing a new press now being made for that paper. It says: "We have ordered a press built in New York city, for which there will be no match on the Pacific Coast. It will be what is known as a 'Hoe rotary, four cylinder, double quarro,' and will print all four pages at once, with a capacity of striking off ten thousand complete copies per hour, which can, by stereotyping, be increased to twenty thousand copies per hour. It will weigh fifteen tons, and require two platform cars for its transportation. Four months from the date of ordering is the time required to build it. Its dimensions will be: In length 32 feet 8 inches; in width, 13 feet 6 inches; in height, 16 feet. It will take 6 men to work it. All the latest improvements will be embraced in it. A new roller movement will make a cleaner impression than is possible with any other contrivance, and cutting cylinders will divide the paper automatically. It will print forty per cent faster than any press west of the Rocky Mountains With the engine, boiler and appurtenances, it will cost, set up in San Francisco $30,000. The following truthful compliment is also paid the newspapers of the state, generally: "It is everywhere acknowledged that the newspapers of California rank exceptionally high in comparison with those of the East, that the Press of San Francisco is not excelled by that of any city of the same size in the Union, while the press of the interior makes a good show of apparition, he cried out 'El Diablo! El Diablo!' twice. The Spaniards, being more afraid of the devil than of the Indians, fled from the spot, which was thereafter known as Mt. Diablo. As there was a good spring of water in the vicinity, it was often resorted to by the hunters, who, in describing it to their friends, called it the Mount Diablo spring. In after years settlers began to make their homes near Mt. Diablo, and when the great rush came in 1848-9 the name was transferred from the little hill to the great mountain, and it has since been appli'd to the whole range. The Mt. Diablo range covers a territory about 100 miles long, by 20 to 30 miles wide. It is 5,881 ft. high at the greatest elevation. Time—Long fellow writes thus: "Beneath me flows the Rhine, and like the stream of time, it flows amid the ruins of the past. I shall see myself therein and know that I am old Thou too shalt be old Be wise in season. Like the stream of thy life runs the stream beneath us down from the distant Alps, out into the wide world. It bursts away like a youth from the home of his fathers. Broadbreasted and strong and with earnest endeavors, like manhood, it makes its way through these difficult mountain passes, and at length in old age it talters, and its steps are weary and slow, and it sinks into the sand, and through its grave passes into the great ocean, which is itself eternity. Thus shall it be with thee." At the session of the International Prison Congress, July 11. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe of the United States, remarked that she would say one word about the rehabilitation of her own sex, and that was, she could wish that the technical and unjust phrase, "fallen women," should be struck out of the deliberations of such a body as that Congress. All who had sinned might be considered fallen, and she must beg them to remember that every woman who was so stigmatized and spoken of as faller, was associated with and represented another fallen human being, who was an accomplice, and who was not, as she was liable to be held up to human scorn. No. or SHINGLES IN A ROOF—J.D. Tate gives to the New York Farmers' Club a rule for estimating the number of shingles required for a roof of any size, one which he thinks every mechanic and farmer should remember. First find the number of apparatus, he cried out "El Diablo! El Diablo!" twice. The Spaniards, being more afraid of the devil than of the Indians, fled from the spot, which was thereafter known as Mt. Diablo. As there was a good spring of water in the vicinity, it was often resorted to by the hunters, who, in describing it to their friends, called it the Mount Diablo spring. In after years settlers began to make their homes near Mt.

Diablo range covers a territory about 100 miles long, by 20 to 30 miles wide. It is 5,881 ft. high at the greatest elevation. A 'PRETTY ORNAMENT'—ornament may be obtained pending an acorn by a thread tied around it, with an inch of the surface of soil contained in a vase, turbuster, and allowing it undisturbed for several days will soon burst open, roots will seek the water; and tapering stem, with glossy green leaves, will upward and present a very appearance. Chestnut tree be grown in this manner; leaves are not so beautiful of the oak. The water changed once a month, tracing supply water of the same bits of charcoal added to prevent the water from If the little leaves turn yellow of nitrate of ammonium which holds the water it will renew their luxuriant. It is a mistake to super pork is the only meat hung infested by worms. Drink in his recent lectures on biology—the natural history from the Greek helmis a wlogos a discourse—says that tapes-worms occur in the teemed kinds of animal footing but beef and mutton views all persons who susse have eaten diseased or meat to lose no time in able medical advice, as is possible to expel the worms from the system we have gone no further than testinal canal; all efforts to them alter they have made into the muscles have thudded ineffectual; and the pari variably dies. The Journal of Commerce sophizing on the demise Standard newspaper says: "Not less than a thousand a day suffies to conduct class daily fully staffed with rectors its tentacle merceral and news corrections stretching out everyday sweep of domestic telegram every corner of the land latest costly burden of patches to carry The of an Admirable Crichton sensitivity of an alligator and the working power of horse may be mentioned of the qualifications for my newspaper with success,a The following truthful compliment is also paid the newspapers of the state, generally: "It is everywhere acknowledged that the newspapers of California rank exceptionally high in comparison with those of the East, that the Press of San Francisco is not excelled by that of any city of the same size in the Union, while the press of the interior makes a good showing beside the best that the state of New York can offer. Now, friend Chronicle, we are glad to see you do well and we congratulate you upon your success, but there is one thing about you decidedly objectionable to us, and that is that for years past you have kept at the head of your columns a statement which we regard as a standing lie concerning your circulation. We shall have all the better opinion of you if you will either prove that you have the largest circulation, or take down the sign. On Bail—Dye Davies, against whom a true bill of indictment was found by the Grand Jury, charging him with the murder of Chase F. Lehman, appeared before the County Court last evening, applying for a writ of habeas corpus, and for the purpose of being admitted to bail. After the hearing of the case the Court fixed his bail at $8,000. J. F. Burns, Don Juan Forster, Judge Davis of Anaheim and others presented the necessary bail and Davies was released from the custody of the Sheriff.—News, 18th inst." Spanish Grants. Judge Foster explains how the license land grants, commonly known as ranchos, were acquired. First settlement of Alta California was undertaken by the Spanish in mainly, if not solely for the house of christianizing the Indies. Five garrison towns were established, in which a troop of one hundred cavalry were stationed in order for the protection of the mission. In 1770, two Pueblos were published by order of the Viceroy Mexico, where soldiers, when disgusted could retire with their tames and reside. The two Pueblos in Los Angeles and San Jose. It not until 1830 that grants of lands were made outside of these cities and garrisoned towns. Previously, permits were sometimes to discharge soldiers to set up unoccupied land, but these at all times under obligation move, when required to do so the missions. Pretty Ornament.—A pretty ornament may be obtained by susisting an acorn by a piece of wood tied around it, within half inch of the surface of some water contained in a vase, tumbler, or orr, and allowing it to remain disturbed for several weeks. It soon burst open, and small will seek the water; a straight stem with beautiful leaves. An Old Thanksgiving Proclamation Yesterday, Judge Stephen C. Foster came across the following interesting proclamation, the first Thanksgiving Proclamation ever issued in this State. Both of the men that have their names appended thereto are dead, Gov. Riley having died about twenty years since. Herewith we give a copy of the document: PROCLAMATION. In conformity with the custom of other States and Territories, and in order that the people of California may make a general and public acknowledgment of their gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for his kind and fostering care during the past year, and for the boundless blessings which we now enjoy, it is recommended that Thursday, the 29th day of November next, be set apart and kept as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer. Given at Monterey, California, this 24th day of October A.D. 1849. (Signed) B. RILEY, Bret. Brig Gen U.S.A., and Governor of California. By the Governor, H. H. HALECK, Bret. Capt. and Sec'y of State. —News, 17th inst. TAKE IT EASY—The following is a truthful report of part of a sermon. PRETTY ORNAMENT.—A prettyiment may be obtained by susisting an acorn by a piece of wood tied around it, within half each of the surface of some water contained in a vase, tumbler, or jar, and allowing it to remain disturbed for several weeks. In soon burst open, and small will seek the water; a straight tapering stem, with beautifully green leaves, will soon shoot up and present a very pleasingarance. Chestnut trees may grow in this manner but their roots are not so beautiful as those oak. The water should be digged once a month, taking care to apply water of the same warmth; not charcoal added to it will prevent the water from souring the little leaves turn yellow, put in of nitrate of ammonia in the soil which holds the water, and will renew their luxuriance. Is a mistake to suppose that this is the only meat liable to be used by worms. Dr. Cobbold, a recent lectures on helminthology—the natural history of worms—the Greek helmis a worm, and a discourse—says that larval worms occur in the most esoteric kinds of animal food, including beef and mutton. He adduces all persons who suspect they have eaten diseased or trichinised to lose no time in seeking medical advice, as although it possible to expel the trichina was from the system when they gone no further than the internal canal, all efforts to get rid them after they have made way the muscles have thus far provoked effectual, and the patient insibly dies. The Journal of Commerce, philozging on the demise of the hard newspaper, says: It less than a thousand dollars suffies to conduct a first-daily fully staffed with editor-in-chief its tentacles of commercial and news correspondenceching out everywhere, in spite of domestic telegrams from any corner of the land, and its costly burden of cable disruces to carry.

Given at Monterey, California, this 24th day of October A.D. 1849. (Signed) B. RILEY, Bret. Brig Gen U.S.A., and Governor of California. By the Governor, H. H. HALLECK, Bret. Capt. and Sec'y of State. News, 17th inst. TAKE IT EASY — The following is a truthful report of part of a sermon delivered by an old colored preacher in Halifax county. West Virginia: "Let not your hearts be troubled! O my feller brethern, et you keep on in your sinful ways, an' you sist in your wickedness, you'll wake up some mornin, brethren, and find yourselves in hell-fire. Let not your hearts be troubled." Nor Much.—Ain't you going to send that boy of your to school, Bill? "O will I? He went one day, and when he came home he told me it was repensible to get drunk! Think I'll have p'rental feelin's outraged, and all the sweet an'oly union of sons 'flection broken by swells teach'n of him! Come au' stan'a pint!" When Barnum's cannibals offered one of the spectators at the show last night ten dollars if he would give them his little boy on the half shell for breakfast this morning "my little boy is not for sale," replied the food parent, "but I've got a stall-fied mother-in-law you can have tor half the money. It is positively asserted that Geo. C. Gorham has been notified by the State Central Committee that his participation in the present canvass would be likely to imperil the success of the party, and that the committee therefore decline to sanction his canvass of the State in any manner. A little boy was sent to a store for some eggs. Before reaching home he dropped them. In answer to his mother, who asked, "Did you break any?" he replied: "No. I didn't break any, but the shells came off from some of them." "It is pleasing to reflect upon." says Dickens, "and furnishes a complete answer to those who contend for the gradual degeneration of the human species, that every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last. An Indiana town has the following dog ordinance: "Dogs that SINGULAR SPRING.—The Bow Green (Ky) Democrat says: understand that Mr Calvin, who resides in the Three Forks neighborhood in this county, has a similar spring of water on his farm. The spring of the year the water runs from the spring looks like blood. The bloody-looking water from it twice a week, but only few moments at a time. During the Fall the bloody water runs once a week, and after the disarrangement of the bloody hue, the farmer assumes a purplish hue, which he passes off. The water is said to be very delightful to the taste. DECLINED.—The other day a Monet tailor sent his bill to a magna editor. He was startled a few days afterward by its being returned with a note appended saying: "Your manuscript is respectfully omitted." You saved my life at the battle of Alvern Hill," said a bergar to a man. "Saved your life! How? Survived under you and when you away, I followed." "It is pleasing to reflect upon." says Dickens, "and furnishes a complete answer to those who contend for the gradual degeneration of the human species, that every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last. An Indiana town has the following dog ordinance: "Dogs that are not collared and labelled, no matter how respectably connected, will have their narratives amputated one inch south of their ears." A Chicago congregation pricked up its ears when the minister said: "I have land to sell," but dropped off to sleep again when he added "the beautiful land on high." In an article on a recent fair in that city, the editor of a Macon paper says a brother editor took a valuable premium, but a policeman made him put it right back where he took it from. The dore Tilton says in his prayer: "Save me from a God who damns." An acquaintance replies: "We would like to do it, my boy, but the thing is impossible." Greeley will get all the voters in the Tribune office except the man who sets up the copy; he has been waiting for years for a diabolical revenge, and now finds his opportunity. Adversity exasperates fools, dejects cowards, draws out the faculties of the wise and industrious, puts the modest to the necessity of trying their skill, awes the opulent, and makes the idle industrious.
