Company. The Mariposa Company, lately formed in New York, have purchased the interest of Mark Brumagim and Trenor W. Park in the Estate known as "Las Mariposas," or, in plain English, 'The Butterflies," and as some names now prominently before our readers will appear during the recital, we consider this as good an Mpportunity as any to give a brief history of "Las Mariposas This celebrated tract of land was originally owned under a grant from the Mexican Government to Juan B. Alvarado, and was by him sold to John C. Fremont, and after a time resold under a judgment recovered by Francisco O.

Campo against J. C. Fremont and other parties, through which sale the interest of Messrs. Brumagim and Garrison to the estate came, and finally passed into the hands of "The Mariposa Company." which company, (organized and in Objectsof France and Rome is Mxxxcoj The Vienne Press recently contained the following curious article on the relations oi. Rome with the new Mexican Empire t.

"Tbe Mexican monarchy is intended not-only to react against the Anglo-Saxon raco and the democratic ideas of North: America, but also against American Protest- -autism. Hence the immense enthusiasm with which the clerical party'of "both hemispheres has welcomed the advent of Maxi-milion I. By the erection of htf throne-Napolean III. has rendered an immense aer- -vice to the Church, this service is so highly appreciated by the Court of Rome that important concessions have been made therefor to the French Goyernmeot. In view of the advantages that the Court of Rome anticipates from Mexico, it has appeared necessary to have itself represented there by a personality, decided and en- ergetic.

The Pope has therefore chosen (in accordance with the advice of Antonelli) as 'Nuncio to Mexico, the Minister of War, of Rome Monsignor de Merode who on this occasion will be made a Cardinal. As Merode was not on good terms with the-French, it is thought, too, that his distant, appointment will be satisfactory to the of Tuileries. 1 ASD TUB BY JOHN G.

A Sketch of Tniklih Justice. Tne Cadi goes out in the morning without making known his intended route: takes his walk with eui table attendants, and stops at the first bazaar. He scats himself at random in one ot the shops, and examines the weights, measures and merchandise. He lends an ear to all complaints, interrogates any merchant accused of infraction of law, and then, wUhoat court or jury, and especially without delay, pronounces judgment, applies the penalty, and goes in quest of other delinquents. In these cases, however, the punishment of a different character Notwithstanding the identity ot a crime, he cannot treat the offending merchant as a common thief; that would have a prejudicial effect on commerea.

The penality, is graduated thus the mildesr, confiscation; the moderate, closing the shop the severest, exposure. This last i inflicted in a singular manner The culprit is placed with his back against' his shop, and is compelled to raise himself on his toes until the weight of his whole body rests oa them; his ear is then nailed to the door or shutter of his shop. This punishment lasts two, four or six hours. It is true, the criminal may abridge its duration, whenever he chooses to let himself down but the Turkish merchant is jealous of his reputation, and nothing but the last necessity would induce him to resemble a thief by the mutiiation of his ears. I stopped in front of one of these wrctch-e, who had just been nailed up.

I was disposed to compassionate his case, jbut Mahommed told me he was an habitue, and that if I would observe his ear closely, I should find that it was like a cullender. This changed the current of my sympathies, and, as he was to remain sometime lunger, I ceased to regret his sufferings, and rejoiced in the opportunity of making a sketch. I drew forth craj-ona'-and paper, and begged the rest to continue -'their route with'. M. Mayer, leaving Mahommed assist me iu any embarrassment.

But Mayer would not quit me s) we three remained, and the others proceeded on their way. My picture was composed the criminal, cailed by his ear, was standing stiff and motionless on the extreme points of his great tots; and seated near him, oti the sill of the door, was the guard, charged with seeing the punishment duly executed, smoking a pipe. The quantity of tobacc in the pipe seemed to be graduated to tbo time the punishment was to-continue. Around these two personages was a demi-circle of Idlers. weMouk our places at or.e 'side, and I commenced my task.

After a tinte the culprit, finding Hie had nothing to expect from the crowd-among whom, perhaps, he recognized some of hid customers a word to the guard. said he. one law of our holy Prophet is, that we should help one another. The gutrd peemed to tike no exception to. the precept in the abstract, and coutitiueJ quietly to smoke.

'Brother resumed the patient, "did you not hear me? The guard made' no nth reply than a puff of snvke that ascended to t.l'ihbor!! s-e. Brother," still persisted the mm, one of us can aid the othi'r, and a thing acceptable to The puffs of smoke succeeded each other with a regularity which extinguished the poor fellows hopes. Brother, cricJ the dependent, with a dolorous voice, "put a stone under my heels, and I will give you a piastre." No reply, Two piastres, A pause. 1 "Three piastres." Smoke. Four piastres.

1 Ten piastres, said the guard, quietly. The ear and the purse of the man held a parley, which was visible in the countenance. At length the pain conquered, and the ten paistres rolled at the feet of the guard, who counted them with great deliberation, put them in his purse, rested his pipe against the wall, and picking up a pebble about as large as the egg of a tom-tit, placed it the man's heels. Brother, said the culprit, I feel nothing under my feet. "A stone is there, however," answered the cuard, resuming his seat and pipe, but it ia true, I selected it in reference to your price.

Give me atatari (five francs) and I will place a stone under you so appropriate to your necessities, that you shall sign for it when you reach paradise." Tbe result may be anticipated the guard had bis money, and the merchant his stone. How the affair tei ruinated I do not know. A publisher of a newspaper out West, in the first issue of his journal, returns thanks to those who loaned him the pecuniary means, and tq Heaven that there is no law in the State enforcing imprisonment for debt.

My heael swells with patriotic pride when I cautiously remark that the Mackerel Brigade occupy the post of honor to the left of Bull Run, which they also left the day we celebrated. Tbe banner which was presented to us by tbe women of America, and which it took the orator of the day six hours and forty minutes to describe to us, we are using in the shape jf blazing neckties, and when the hard up pun of Virginia shines upon tne glorious red bands around the sagacious necks of our veterans, they all look as if they had just cut their throats. The eflect is gory, my boy extremely gory and respectable. While on my lonely beat, about an hour ago. on looking up, I beheld one of seceshV pickets stand before me.

Soldier," said he, you remind me of my grandmother, who expired before I was born; but this unnatural war has made us enemies, and I must shoot you. Give mo a chew terbacker. He was a you nfc man, my boy, in the prime of life, and descended from the First Families of Virginia. I looked at him, and says Let's compromise, my brother. Never, says he.

The South is fighting for her liberty, her firesides and the pursuit of happiness, and I desire most respectfully to welcome you with bloody hands to a hospitable grave. Stand off ten paces, says and let's see whose name shall come before the Cor- He took his. place end we fired simultaneously. I heard a ball go whistling by a barn about a quarter of a mile on my right, and when the smoke cleared away I saw the secesh picket approaching me with an awful expression of woe on his otherwise dirty countenance. Soldier, says he, was there anything in my head before you fired Nothing, says "save a few harmless insects.

I speak not of them, says he. Was there anything inside of my head Nothing, says I. "Well," siyshe. "just listen now." He shoiik his head mournfully, and I heard something rattle in it. "What' that?" I exclaimed.

That, srtys he, is your bullet, which has penetrated my skull, and is rolling about in my brain. I die happy and with an empty 'stomach but there ia one thing I should likeyco see bafore I perish for my country. Have you a quarter about you Too much affected to speak, I drew the coin from my pocket and banded it to Mm. The dying man clutched it convulsively, and stared at it feverishly. This says he, is the first quarter I have seen since the fall of Sumter and had I wounded you I should have been totally unable to give you any quarter.

how-beautiful it is how bright how exquisite, and good for four drinks Hut I have no time to say all I ieel." Orpiiecs C. Keep. The New Testament. The New Testament is the moat incendiary document in the world. I wonder it has not been suppressed by some people.

It is full of fire, capable of exploding every raagizine of sophistry, and breaking down every rotton iniquity. Every sentence of of it is nn institution. The Declaration of Independence some people think John Hancock, and Thomas Jefferson, and Charles Caroll made rather a mistake when they wrote it. God Almighty and Paul made no mistake when they said, Honor all men. There is the L'eclar-tion of Independence; hncr all men," degrade, desecrate none.

Every divine institution stands there in a single test. Love thy neighbor as thyself. There spring up all your soooola, all your hospitals, all your f.r the po ir and blest with that single sentence. Everything that has nerved heroism is there; the key-note of the Pilgrim's trumpet song of the December sea the force of Luther's warning voice that rocked the church; the inspiration that kindled in the heart of Howard at the side of tbe prisoner the whisper of Florence Nightingale as she walked through the wards of Scutari, everything is contained in that single sentence. And a thousand years, perhaps ten thou-saud, will not serve to develope the life of the seed corn of God's word and Christ's truth.

E. H. Chapin. Clairvoyance. A "Citizen of Sacramento" furnishes the Bee with the follow- jngJ Among the many curious things transpiring in the world, I witnessed something in regard to tho Golden Age," too good to be lost.

I had friends on board, and I was very anxious about them. I am not a believer in prognostications, but, to pass the time away, I called with some friends on a ladv, who looks in a stone, on Saturday evening last. She said to me: "Your friends are all safe; the ship is disabled." This was said in the presence of five or six persons. I confess I did not believe a word of it. I called on her again on Monday morning, from curiosity.

I asked her how it was about the ship, in the presence of several persons. She said "there were two ships coming op together your friends are all safe; you will know all about it within three days." This is the best test of clairvoyance that I ever witnessed; TrfE Three Hundred Dollar Clause. This clause, allowing soldier3 to purchase exemption from the service by paying $300, has been repealed. They are still allowed to buy their own substitutes but nothing more. Volunteers are to have a bounty of 300 per year, but drafted persons and their substitutes do not share in bounty.

Brumagim aud damson but these gentlemen, not being either blind to their own interests or forgetful of their cfaims for moneys actually advanced to Messrs, J. C. Fremont and T.

W. Park, offered to the now company a chance to purchase from them all tluar interest in the surti of (in round figures) $175,000. This offer tho company indignantly refused, aud as Messrs. Brumagim and Garrison were cool, clear-headed business 'men, they immediately proceeded to commence operations to enforce their claim and, having first obtained an extensive an 1 thorough abstract of their title, proceeded to institute legal proceedings for the sums advanced and interest thereon. The New York Company, finding that they found parties wh would not be scared, and believing that discretion was the better part of vaior, offered, like Captain Scott's celebrated coon, to ''come down," and were finally allowed to do so to the amount of $353jO00 in gold coin.

The result is gratifying all round ns the sellers are amply recompensed, and at last the Mariposa Company of New York have obtained an absolutely perfect title to the grant whose name heads this article. Mining Press. Just The idea ot employment is the rock upon which thousands split, and shipwreck themselves and all who depend on them. All employments nro honorable and respectable that bring honest gain. The laborer who is willing ta turn bis hands to anything, is as respectable as the clerk or dipper store-tender.

Indeed, the man who is ready to work whenever work offers, whatever it may be, rather than lie idle and beg, is a far more respectable man than one who turns up his nose at bard labor, wearies bis friends with his com plaints because he can get nothing respectable to do, pockets their benefaction without thankfulness, and goes on from day to day, a useless, lazy grumbler. Extravigaxce. When upbraided with the charge of cxtravigance in the use of silks, laces, the ladies have always retaliated that men were guilty of far greater extravigance in the use of wines cigars etc. Recent statistics the annual importation of luxuries show the following Silks imported, about 500,000 laces, $1,500,000 embroideries $4,000,000 total for luxuries for ladies' consumption, $33, 500 000. Wines, over S4.0U0.000 spirits, $4 000,000 cigars, $4,000,000 total gentleman's luxuries, $12,000,000.

Total, $45, 500,000. These figures show that the ex-trayigance of woman is nearly two-thirds more costly than that of man. Piecf.iiai.Wau. You may put a dozen balls into the flanks of a grizzly bear with-much impairing his power of doing mischief; but if you send one crashing through bis brain there is an end of him. There may be a convulsive working of the extremities for a brief while thereafter but the beast is paralyzed aud soon kicks hia last.

So too in prize fighting. Blows on the head almost invariably decide the contest. What in true of bear and hunter, and of two bruisers in the arena, is equalby true of aggregations of armed in a great war. To strike at vital points is the only true military policy. Rebel Torpedoes.

The size of these infernal machines is startling. The one which blew up the Comodore Jones, was stated by a rebel prisoner to have contained seventeen hundred pounds of powder. They average from four to six hundred pounds. One was discovered and successfully emptied of nineteen hundred and fifty pounds of powder, much to the mortification' and disgust of Com. Davidson, now at the head of the rebel marine corps, who happened to be present on board his flag-of-truco boat from Richmond.

Surprise Vallet. G. K. writing to the Sii.nt.a Courier from Susanville, says Surprise Valley, situated in the easteru part of Shasta county, is being fast settled up by enterprising citizens. Over two hundred iiersons.amongst them several families, have gone there and located farms, and have made preparations for raising.

crops the present season. The citizens of that valley-are surveying and are about to construct "a road to Pueblo silver district, which is said to be only about 25 miles to the eastward. Soldiers. A soldier who re-enlists in the California regiments, and Bervcs three years, will receive, in addition to his clothing and rations, $1,156 of which $480 will be paid in gold by tho State of California. This is a little over $32 per month, should they be honorably discharged at the end of a year, their pay will amount $652, $300 of which will be in gold equal to $24, 33 per month in greenbacks and S30 in gold $5433 per month, in all.

Soldiering appears to pay better than plowing, haying, or driving team. Some men are like pyramids, which are very broad where they touch the ground, but grow narrower at they reach the sky. But a greater concession made to France will be the speedy elevation at the approach- -ing consistory of the Abbe Lucien Bonaparte, long a resident of Rome -and the camereire of the Pope, to the rank of Car-: dinal. The Prince Lucien would then be- elig ible to the Papacy, and if, on the death of Pius IX, tbe conclave assembles under the protection of French bayonets, how can he help standing a very good chance for election Pius IX can thus await the end. of his days "in peace.

If a Bonaparte mounts the Pontificial throne. Papacy and: its temporal possessions are safe. Wemustsaywe are now witnessing very extraordinary things. An Au9trian Archduke ascends the throne erected by a French Emperor, and the Emperor of Mexico becomes, by the force of circumstances, the mediator between the Tuileries and the rati-1 ican." Bah The Vatican and the French nsurp-er may buck the democratic, ideas of the Anglo Saxon race to their mutual and perfect satisfaction. We can stand it if they can, and discount them some, we reckon.

The "Wilderness," in which the first battle of the present campaign was fought, embraces fifteen miles of timber land, thickly studded with undergrowth, making it utterly impassible. During the battle aur men were often unable to see any 'ob- ject twenty-five feet distant from them. Itis from twelve to fifteen miles from Fredricks-burg. -A poor old man of Stockton, who had nothing else to give, made a keg and gave it to the Sanitary Committee, faintly hoping it might realize $5 or so for the cause.
