A KENTUCKIAN SPECULATING IN CALIFORNIA- STATE INSTINCTS. In 1850, San Francisco was a fast place. "Tiroes were flush, and money plenty Ounces, half-ounces, and quarter-doubloons, were-as current as cents and half-rents in Cincinnati. Dollars were not counted, and slvgs were not invented. Eagles, double eagles, and half-eagles, had not then found their way over the Isthmus so as to be in worked. Doubloons and their aliquot parts were the currency. Just about the close -of that raernofrtble year along-shanked, Jean, Jootny Kentuckian, " warthar." His name was but never mind nis name ihey called hiih u Bags," in the mines, and as the Greek Professor says, for the sake -of euphony, we 11 call rum Baps now. Bag's '.hud been to the mines, dug his pile, lost-it, and was iust now beginning: to make a small rise;," at the Bay." He had -about lerrt)tinces. He was just about de termining to go back to the mines. When he was walking out on Long YVabarf, to wards the old store-shin 41 Bennet," his gaze was very suddenly, entirely, and in voluntarily attracted towards the cabin window of a little brig h ing not far off from the wharf. A pretty little French woman was sitting by the window.'- Wo ro?n in California then, were like fine sal mrm in early spring very scarce, and ex ceedingly luscious just to look at, to say .nothing of the delight it would have been to speak or listen to one of the angels Bags was struck. He couldn't move Peeping through the little window and scanning from keel to track that uncouth little brig, bis mind was not long in deter- jnitning to see the little charmer. He want--ednn excuse, though be would have gone, no doubt, excuse or not, and he soon found one. 'Foreale" whs written with chalk on ajbard, and stuck up from the forecaitle. This struck Bags He wanted to become -A"8hip-owner,riht off. He went 'aboard XJtiptdin Parle Vous took great pleasure in showincr him the beauties of the brijf. Of course, he had to show the cabin, and Bags was introduced to Mrs. P. V., who spoke English so well, that she volunteered le interpret for the Captain, and suggested -softly that it would be much better than the Captain's broken English.- Bags thought it, would;- he could no longer understand a word the Captain said. Irran hour or so the survey was finished. Now Bigs' genius was pi t to the test Trades were made in a hurry in that coun try. 'A hundred vara lot was purchased -as quickly and with as little parley as a pair of boots. Said ten ounces wouldn't buy the brig. It didn't take Bags long to discover-that the brig was a French bottom, and could not be used in the coasting trade to Oregon. The Captain hadn i thought of this before. He was "very much sorry Mr. Bags bad taken so much trouble." "Ko," said B., "it is the other way, Captain- I a-m sorry I have troubled jou, and to compensate you I will buy n part of your cargo." The Captain had old out, but he 60on found thai he had a aurplas of twenty-ve hundred potvnds of .sweet potatoes in his stores which -he could pre. : Very soon a trade was made lor potatoes. Bags paid four cents a pound for ihetn, just to get an excuse to come back CO see the little interpreter. The next d.y he potatoes were taken ashore in a scow, -and before they, were landed Bags received Iwftnty two cents a pound for them, and a--g'ain fell '"flush." No sooner had he weigh ed the "dust" than he thought of the l.ute jbeauty who had been so directly the cause of his good luck.' ( And he didn't think of Jier long before be determined to see her in double quick tiine he was re rigged irora head to foot, and off for the brig There he was oid that Madame was -hore. Ashore he went and searched the city until he foind Capt, Prle Voos, when the following co-fab took place : ; 'v "Ah 1 Monsieur Bags, you mke all de money on de potato By gar! You make tree, four, five hundred dollar on my little locker full of potato! Sacre Dieul I one dd fool. I sell my potato for foor cint. you sell dem twenty-fitre cint !" "Well, Captain, I did rather make a spec n you; but I'll be liberal. Coxae, now, I'll pay you seven cents lot your potatoes, and we'll go and smile." - -r "No, sare ! By gar 1 me no do daX No, sare 1 1 S'pose you buy my potatoe for one cent, and sell him for fifty , cent, it is r all right, by gar I All right, sare I" " "Very well, then, Captain, let me make you a present of this fine India-rubber over coat (they were standing in a store wheie the coat hung) by way of covering your loss." j "No, sare I By gar, you no pay me over coat for my potato. You give me money, and I got him. It is all right, Monsieur Bags." f "Well, then, Captain, will you allow me make your lady a present?" I " Certa nmenl ! Certainlee ! Yoq can give my wife what-evare you choose." ! "Then let's go and see the Madame," and off they started. - Bags was egain happy; his object was ucco.i.pitshed. He thought of ngihwflf but the vision his eyes were soou tofifnsl up--on. The Captain said noflflg more on the subject until they came to the room where his latly was. Then he told her, in his broken English, the whole story how the potatoes were sold, and the speculation made, and all, and the object of Mr. B.tgs's visit She laughed heartily, and repli ed: ? "Certainly, she would accept and prize very highly a piesent from Mr B. She warned a memento of him, and his trade." , Then Bags' gallantry immediately sug gested that she should go and choose the present. He wanted the exquisite pleasure of walking down Clay-street with her. f course, her kind amiable disposition would not permit her to refuse, so off they started Now Bags was in the third heaven of his good fortune. They were passing a large Bazaar, when Bags made a stnrt towards the door. "No I" said Madame Parle Vous, "we will go down 'to Woodruff's, if you have no objection." "Cert -inly, as you please, Madame," aaid Bags, again delight ed at the suggestion. Woodruff's was a jeweller's store the finest, then, in Cahfor nia. When tbey had reuched Woodruff's, the Madame was about four seconds in choosing" her present. It was a beauti lul bracelet, set with diamends. As Bags was not known, and books, bills, or ac counts, were equally unknown to Wood ruff, Bags had to weigh out the dust for the jewel. He stepped up with the air of the most successful miner, and asked, "How much, sir, for the bracelet ?" "Four hun dre i dollars twenty-five 0 jnces," was the prompt and distinct reply. Bags hauled out the dust, and paid it like a man. When he went back to escort the Madame home, the Captain was almost bursting with laugh ter. "Ah, mon Dieu ! My wife is one great financier! LJy gar, I will nevsire no more ell one ting off my vessel till I talk to my wife. She is one gre.tt financier! Bags never ate a sweet potato or looked at a vessel again in California. He swears he will walk across the plains to get to the --tales. &KIPE. EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE. On Thursday evening two juvenile?, footsore and weary, entered the yard of the (jtreyhotinu Hotel, Bath, and inquir ed ii they could be accommodated with lodgings for the night. Their respecta ble dress and superior manners, as well as the unusual nature of their applica tion excited the surprise and curiosity oi Mr. Clark, the landlord, who took his would be guests into the hotel, and pro ceeded to interrogate them. Though exceedingly polite iu their replies, they declined affording any information, ex cept that they were going to sea, and Mr. Clark s suspicions were fuither ex cited by the light shoes which one of them wore aud the shortness of the trousers ; and he ultimately put himself in communication with the police. The hildreti were then separated, and one of them conyeyed to the Central station and lodged for the night, the other re maiiiing at the Greyhound. Their se cret was preserved until Friday mor ning, when a livery servant rode a reeking horse into the Greyhound yard, and soon alterwards made known that he was in pursuit of a pair pi juvenile fugitives. The whole 8'ory was then developed. The children were broth er and sister, the later 14, and the for mer scarcely 13, the offspring of parents in good society : and on i hursdav they had decamped from their home at Road, near fr rome. The hoy had determined to go to sea, and entrusted his secret to his sister, wljose ardent affection deter mined her to accompany him at all hazards. She accordingly dressed her self in some of his clothes, allowed him to cut her hair, which was then parted at the side, and thus attired and dis guised, they set off for Bristol as the nearest seaport. " As soon as they were missed, every .effort was, of course made to discover them, and the - servant who so fortunately tnet with hem, had ridden down three horses In the pursuit. They were on Friday conveyed back to their parents. Bristol Mercury. DEATH OF A COMPOSER. Robert Schumann, by many considered the greatest of living German composers, as he was undoubtedly one of the most ori ginial, has just died at Bonn, at the com paratively early age of forty six. In 1840 he married the elebrated Clara Wieck, now as then a charming pianist He died of insanity. SHOCKING MURDER. The Danville Republican gives an ac count of a cold-blooded murder recently perpetrated near Pittsylvania court house, Va. A man named Moitev sent his son. a boy about 10 years old, for a jug of li quor, and the boy having over-stayed his time, me lamer, it is auegeu, oecaroe en raged, started after him, and meeting bis son returning with the liquor, beat him to teath, ami then placed the body in a h ranch ! He afterwards took the body and buried it. . ADAKKKY CELttiRATIUA l.N CANADA. A Toronto correspondent, under the date of August 2, gives the following amusing description of the celebration by the blacks of that city of the anniversary of negro emancipation in the West Indies: "Yesterday, the twenty second anniver sary of negro emancipation in the west In dies, was celebrated by the amiable and redolent portion oi the inhabitants of To ronto after the usuai custo n of such occa sions. From dawn the ciiy was astir with black beauties and "gentlemen cuffees," all alive to the importance of the day, and determined to flourish it bravely in their holiday finery Such finery ! Heaven and earth could not present again on the same size of any other day such a conglomera tion, of colors. . One nigger, who especial lyitraefed my attention, I must describe, as 1 oa sure I never ebaH-eee his like a gain While moustaches perhaiis with care and not with, time ormimentod his ebony frontis-piece, a white hat and blac.i band, a huge white coilai. a blue coal and bra84 bunons, a handkerchief that for di mensions would shame the Ethiopian sere naded, ami for colors would cause a rain bow to blush, finished off at the ends with white lace ; a crimson velvet waistcoat, a gold or gilt chain like a ship's cable, whi e trowsers of enormous dimensions, red mo rocco slippers or light shoes with glazed toes, and pea green kid gloves ami bamboo Cane tipped with gold. I smell his perfu med carcass, sweating under the weight of his decorations, thirty feet away, and I can assure you gave him a wide berth The colored "brethren'' formed a pro cession through the streets, and met a de putation from Hamilton of the niggers there, who, in order to do proper justice to the occasion, came in the robes of office be longing ta their order, which they call the 'Order of the Sons of Uriah." The dress was even more ridiculous than that of the most fastidious bag-wigged knee-breeched court dress of Europe, and certainly should make white men pitch off such frippery in disgust, when they see that even niggers can exceed them in outre taste. They wore black, three cornmed hats, with long red and whi'e feathers, white chokers, ministerial gowns, back continuations, and walked "with all the gravity," as I heard a Patlander say, -'of an embassy from old Nick himself." The house in which the niggers intended to hold a soiree and ball was burned to the ground last night. It is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. NAT.ROW ESCAPE OF SCIENTIFIC GENTLE MEN At a late meeting of the Natural History Society, a rattlesnake found in Milton, Massachusetts, and supposed at the time to have been killed, w.is presented to the So ciety. This miileanake having been im mersed tn alcyhol for half an hour or more, ami generally supposed to be dead, was taken from the bottle, and an examination of the fungs and other organs about the mouth was made by the Cura'o of Herpo to logy and others. Upon being pi. iced in the jar of alcohol, the reptde came to life and struggled violently, convincing the operation that they hud exposed themselves to no small amount of danger, in their manipulations. , Boston Traveller, August 19. SAD AFFLICTION. A young lady, at present a pupil in one of our literary institutions, has received the distressing intelligence that among those who perished in the terrible calamity at a Last Island were her father, brother, un cle, aunt and two cousins. Having previ ously been deprived of her mother by death, her lonely situation must now excito the deepest sympathy. Rvhmond It hig. FATAL MISTAKE. The Tarboro (N. C.) Southerner states that a few nights since Mr. Mark Parker, of that county, killed his brother (ieorge B. Parker, under the following circuinstan ces : There had been some ru-nors in that vicinity of trouble among the negroes, am' Georgs returning home late at, night was hailed by his brother as he entered the house receiving no answer, Mark fired his gun at the .supposed intruder, shooting him through the breast and instantly killing him. They were both young men without families. IN MALE ATTIRE. A female, apparently 22 or 23 years of age was recently arrested in Memphis for wearing mens apparel. She represent that she has dressed in this manner for a- bout six years, during most of which rime she ha been employed as cabin boy, bar keeper and steward, but no consideration wilt induce her to disclose anything fur ther. The affair haa created considerable excitement. FRESH GROCERIES.
