CALIFOENIA . ITS PAST HISTORY ; ITS PRESENT POSITION ; ITS FUTURE PROSPECTS . _M'Gowan and Co ., Great "Windmill-street , Haymarket , London . We have no hesitation in pronouncing this book the best that bas yet been issued on this exciting subject To lie character of orig inality the author makes no pretensions , but be has , by careful and extensive research , brought together a mass of inform ation _onderthe three heads set forth in the title page , which is not to be found in any other single work extant . From the introduction it -would appear , that
it was first intended specially for the use of intending emigrants to the El Derado , and a great amount of very useful information for that class of persons , and emigrants generally , is contained in the preliminary and closing chapters . The author seems , however , to have been speedily induced , b y tbe romantic and extraordinary nature of the subject , to abandon the originally limited plan of his ¦ work . Commencing with a graphic and interesting geographical and topographical description of this magnificent Tegion , we are _condncted through the successive phases of society it has presented since its first colonisation by the Spaniards , in the year 1602 , to its
conquest by the United States , in 1846 ; the subsequent discovery ofthe gold on the American river , and the almost incredible influx of population , wealth , and enterprise into a country which , previous to that period , was a wilderness . The work is , also , enhanced by the stirring and dramatic style in which the adventures of gold diggers are skilfully interwoven with graver matters , and the growth of large cities , and of a mighty commerce ; tbe formation of a constitutional government , a legislature , and a complete judicial and municipal system , with a rapidity never before known in history , are forcibly depicted by the writer .
The description ofthe system of colonisation ] introduced under the Spanish monarchs b y the Dominican Friars , and applied with such success to the native tribes , is exceedingly interesting , and contains all the elements of a systematic plan of colonisation , far superior to anything tbat is now attempted in that line by onr enlightened philosophers , who prescribe emigration as a panacea for our social evils . Under tbe mild rule and admirable discipline of tbe Friars , the Californian missions prospered in the highest degree , and ampl y repaid to the state all the assistance granted to them
at the outset . "When the _rnle of the Spanish monarchy was thrown off by the Mexicans , however , the Republican government virtually confiscated ihe vast domains and large wealth possessed by the Friars , and at the time the United States took possession of the country , but little of the former high cultivation ofthe missions was to be seen . The government and the people combined to neglect the resources of the country . The native Californian residents were an indolent , proud , pleasure-loving race , among whom anything approaching to systematic industry was unknown .
The government and people , ( says our author , ) were exclusively Roman Catholic , and the system thoroughly intolerant . No Protestant bad any civil rights , nor conld they hold any property , or indeed remain a few weeks on shore , unless they belonged to some ofthe trading vessels . Under the influence of the blind cupidity of the government , and the habitual indolence of a race sncb as has been described , the country gradually relapsed into wilderness and barbarism . The stock fonnd in tbe missions were disposed of without any attempt to replace them bv breeding . The herbage
was luxuriant , and at times so rank tbat it almost became unwholesome ; yet the inhabitants were too lazy to undergo even theeh ' ghtest exertion wbich was necessary to provide an abundance of milk , batter , and cheese from the abundance of milch cows wbich cropped it . They chose rather to slaughter the Tasc herds of cattle which wandered from pasture to pasture , for the bides and tallow , for with these the necessaries of life could be obtained without labour . Their flesh was partly consumed , and partly left to decay upon the ground , which in many places around the missions was whitened for acres with
tbe bones . In the rural districts deserted villages became of more frequent occurrence . The towns fell into decay , the Indians fled into the woods to resume tbeir old habits , or took possession of tbe domains formerly under the sway ofthe friars , and thus a region , more extensive than Great Britain and Ireland , afew ; years since had a population of only eight thousand white inhabitants , and perhaps she times that somber of roving Indians . Influences , howerer , were silently at work destined to change this system of wasteful mismanagement on the part of the Mexican government , nnd , of sloth and _supweness on the part of the people , j The American and English adventurers who settled j in
Monterey and other towns , married Calitornians , became united to the Catholic Church , and acquired considerable property . An Anglo-Saxon party had thus been gradually aad unsuspectingly formed in all the principal io wns . and it latterl y received an immense accession _^ strength b y the influx of Americans , who , having S _£ nJ he mQre fe _* Ue _^« _eys of Alta _wvSsi . ° i _* ' . , dventnrers - Americans and a Sn 2 _% W _*_ W _****** their lives , £ 2 _? _JSrJW _?^* f « , m the Western _ttaSw * ?? * _" _?&* _<* real 7 region of the Great Basin , established themselves where anion would give tbem the emSS _^ _TS

hammer rattled in the workshops . The harbour ot San Francisco was farrowed by the keels of an increasing commerce . Tbe sites of new towns were prepared ; old communities revived ; aud San Francisco itself , which we may take as % type of tbe other towns , as Monterey , New Helvetia , and the City ofAngels , from a village containing 80016 two hundred inhabitants , grew , within a comparatively few mouths , to be a thriving little town , with a population of twelve hundred . So sudden was the revulsion of feeling in the country _^ tbat the people who had before slumbered in ntter idleness and apathy , now laboured so peraeverlngly , and with so much heart , to recover lost ground , tbat they forgot , as Captain Folsom expresses it , to divide the _Sunday-fromtherestofthe week . California was clearly on the hi ghway to prosperity and commercial importance . _ „ + * _wl in thfi _wnrtahnm _TK _^ . _V _„«* - _« .. _ «
But another and more extraordinary change was at hand—a change affecting not only the destinies of California , but of tbe civilised world . This was the discovery , that a large portion , if not the whole , of tho region _westward of the Sierra Nevida , is richl y impregnated with the precious metal . As soon as this fact was known , Such a scene immediately ensued in the country as perhaps has not been witnessed since Mammon first assumed his imperial sway over mortals . The whole male population of the adjoining districts abandoned tbeir ordinary callings , and betook themselves to the tributaries of tbe Sacramento to collect the precious metal . The success which attended tbeir efforts outrivalled the imaginative creations which- the most sanguine follower of Croesus ever conjured up before liim . In Ihe bed of every torrent , and in every r »? ine , gold of the purest quality -was to be found . With the speed of
tb * fiery cross tne news spread over the whole country ; and never did clansman obey the summons ol his chief with half the alacrity tbat on the present occasion every person in the valleys of the San Joaquin and the Sacramento exhibited in deserting bis duty to join in the aureal race . _Nti sooner was the discovery of such abundance ofthe precious metal made known in San Francisco , than , with two or three exceptions , every person thai could wield a shovel or a pick-axe set out for tbe favoured region . The soldiers en . masse abandoned their posts , apply to their use the officers' horses in their eagerness to arrive sooner at the goal . Only two sergeants remained to piotect the magnificent prey which the Americans had so long coveted , and but so recently secured . The sailors in the hay deserted their ships , and the labourers on land followed their example , leaving the merchandise lying like useless lumber on the shore . The merchant
forsook his ledger , the clerk contemptuously flung away his pen , the lawyer threw up brief , and all , including farmers and priests , mechanics and physicians , pressed forward to the regions of gold . The Valley of the Sacramento was made populous by the influx of adventurers . A city of tents sprang up in all directions . Encampments thickened along the banks ofthe river ; the bivouac fires of the gold-seekers blazed in every hollow and on every bill ; waggons and teams ponred in from the coast ; the Indian villages emitted their inhabitants to swell the army of delvers whicb svravvaed aud toiled throughout tbe gold region . Nothing can be imagined more extraordinary than the spectacle _pre-ented by the hills , valleys , and slopes ; tents ot
white canvass , shining in tbe sun , and scattered irregularly over tbe country , contrasted strongly with numerous huts of sombre colour , which , constructed of rushes and branches , and stored with rude implements , constituted the only shelter of many who were rich in gold , but who could scarcely obtain sufficient food to support life . Tbe ripen ng harvests had been left to mt _, or to be trampled down by the beasts , and no adequate arrangements for suppl ying the wants ofa large population , thus suddenly collected together in an almost uninhabited district , could be expected . Roughly built stores alternated here and there , whilst many of the gold-seekers were constrained to seek caverns in the ravines , or to be content with the bare roof of Hpaven '
Large , however , as was the influx of gold-seekers none were doomed to disappointment . Gold digging , however , is by no means either a pleasant or a safe pursuit , as shown by the adventures of those who have been engaged in it , and whose narratives impart so much livel y interest to the work under notice ; one of these persons thus state the result of his own experience : — It is not to be denied that a trip to California is no joke . After au adventurer arrives there , unless he has a great deal of money , or its equivalent in self-denial , and an iron constitution , be is doomed to great suffering . A couple of weeks' residence at San Francisco is so expensive that it will eat up mnnv hundred dollars . The journey to the mines
is tedious and difficult . After he arrives at them he finds tbe ground has been thoroughly explored , and all the best places " prospected " and occupied . If he starts off for any new spot he is in danger of starving to death . What he can gather he has to expend for food at very exorbitant prices , and now and then a hug from a grisly bear , or an arrow from some unseen bow , concludes the journey . In the wet diggings , if he has strength to bear the labour of _dioning . stooping , and washing , be is oWiged to be constantly in the water : in the dry , he is exposed to a hot sun , or tbe most piercing cold . Very many give up in despair , after the first attempt , aad make their way back as soon as possible to the settlements , often doomed to certain death when they arrive , by attacks ofthe dysentery , the change of climate and its labours .
And yet there are thousands who endure all tbis and more , and acquire fortunes in a very short time . The gold is inexhaustible , but human" life-is precarious . _" Illustrative of this , let me relate an anecdote . Not long since a party of Pftilade ' p hians went to work on a place near the _Yuaba river , and after working for some weeks , settled up their accounts , and were losing fifteen dollars each . They left in disgust , and sold out their right to another party at a little distance , who were getting out a . thousand dollars per day . These last , after the Philadelphians bad left , repaired to their new purchase , and by digging only one foot deeper , struck a vein equally as profitable as the otber . A Sew York lawyer , who deserted his green bag
in search ofa fortune at the mines , gives the result of his two months' esperience of them in a letter to his friends ; the prospects at the diggings , be candidly confesses , were not so flattering as they ap pearedat New York . The company he was with bad realised very little above the expenses of living , having averaged only about four dollars a day . The work was very laborious for this amount . Tbey rose at four o ' clock , took breakfast , consisting of coffee , " nap-jacks , " and sometimes meat ; worked till twelve , rested an hour or two , and tben worked again till sun-down . Six of them , with a machine , washed about three hundred pans of dirt in a day . They frequently worked two or three days and fonnd no gold ; then , again , they took from _naif-anounco to eight ounces a day . " It is , " says the writer , " all a lottery . If a man is fortunate , he
will strike a vein , and take from two to twenty pounds weight out of a hole . But this happens very seldom . The gold runs very irregularly , and can be procured only by hard labour , equal in every respect to that of sewer or canal digging . " _Sor was this hard life softened by any luxuries , or mitigated by abundance . Provisions were high ; and , in order to live as cheaply as possible , tbe party eat nothing but " flap-jacks , " meat , and coffee—morning , noon , and night . To make money was their object—not eating . " All miners eat , sleep , and live like hog * . We sleep on the ground , covered with dust and dirt ; ouv table on the ground , among ants and bugs of all descriptions . I have not slept one single night without my clothes since I left home . " fi short , the lawyer had not mended himself by deserting the more certain money-making profession of law for that of a
goldhunter . We bave already stated that ihe work contains vivid descriptions ofthe rapid growth of new towns in various parts of the country , and we are told , that With the usual enterprise of the Americans , steamers , suited to the navigation both of the Say of San Francisco and tbe Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers , have been introduced . The small steamers are daily pushing their way higher up , and reaping a rich harvest , while they enhance the value of property , aud increase the property of tbe inhabitants . In a short time the waters , which two or three-years ago were unvisited by any vessel larger
than an Indian canoe , and were frequented by the native tribes only for the purpose of fishing , will be traversed by steamers as regularly as the Clyde , the Humber , or the Thames , and their streams be _ihickly dotted with _populous _' and thriving communities . ' The facilities for communication are already good , and are daily increasing , so tbat in this respect later emigrants will not have to encounter the inconveniences and hardships which had to be faced by the early gold-huntera , and otber seekers after wealth . At present , the accommodation is charged in accordance with every thing else in California ; that is to Bay—very high .
Notwithstanding the motley character of this hastily-collected population , it would appear that" law and order " were very generally preserved , bnt last year A movement was made for calling together a Convention in Monterey , in order to frame a _constitatioft , subject to the subsequent approval of the people at large . Public-meetings , ballot-boxes , and other political machinery , are familiar to American citizens . The want was no sooner stated and felt , tnan it was supplied . A Convention was organised , compramg many 0 f the men of greatest mark and celebrity then in the country . They met at Monterey , in September , 1849 , after having been fteely
Califoenia. Its Past History; Its Presen...
chosen by their respective constituents in the various districts , to proceed with the solemn and important duty confided to them ; and , five weeks afterwards , they met on the morning ofthe 13 th of October , to discharge their last publio corporate duty-that of signing tho constitution they had aped to . Truly , our Yankee cousins are " goahead in all respects ! Their railway speed in leeislation , contrasts strangely with the cumbrous and leisurely march cf such affairs at home . The composition of the convention was , of course , sufficientl y varied , and we are informed _AYinann bv fnaii . « n .... i : ... _,
Occasionall y , an amusing scene occurred / which indicated the temperas well as attainments of tbe delegates . A section of the constitution being under consideration , in which it was declared that every citizen arrested for a criminal offence should be tried by a jury of Im peers , a member , unfamiliar with such technical terms , moved to strike-out the word " peers . " " 1 don ' t like that word ' peers , '" said he ; "it aint republican ; I'd like to know what we want with peers in this country—we ' ve not got a monarchy , and we ' ve got no House of
Parliament _, _i vote tor no such law . But , notwithstanding such occasional infractions of legislatorial etiquette , according to European notions , the Convention succeeded in framing a constitution that may , perhaps , be safel y pronounced the most liberal and advanced ever yet propounded for tho government of any community , ancient or modern . State officers were appointed , and an app lication made for admission iuto the Federal Union , as a State , which is not yet decided upon , bat which , there is no doubt will bo ultimately carried .
One of the most interesting chapters in the work is devoted to the history of the rise , progress , persecutions , and present flourishing condition of the sect of Mormons , in tbe interior of the Great Basin , where they have also organised a constitution , and all the machinery of a government , and applied for admission into the Union . That has just been refused , by the Senate at Washington ; but , we believe , with the continued Max of converts , and consequent increase of power , the end will be their recognition as a sovereign State . Four years ago the district had not a single settled inhabitant ; now take the impressions of a recent American traveller as what he saw around liim in the city of the Great Salt Lake : —
I can scarcely realise thafc I am a thousand miles from home ! Tbe cultivation of an old settled country—the bustle and activity of a city—the necessaries and even the refinements of civilised life—together with the habits and manners of an educated _tace of people , aro all around me ! I am in the midst ofa desert , and yet I see a large city , teeming with life and enterprise—with an exhaustless soil to sustain it—destined to become the metropolis of a mighty empiro 1 1 am away from home , and yet homo influences are around and about me ; and , in imagination , I forget the distance that intervenes between us 1 The Mormons aro a great people , and whatever may be thought of the peculiarities of their religious creed , the rapidity with wbich they increase , the oneness of tbeiv councils—their discipline-all foreshadow their ultimate destiny .
We cannot better conclude our notice of this valuable and deeply-intere 3 ting work , than b y extracting its closing paragraph ;—We now conclude our narrative of the past history , present condition , and future prospects of the Golden Land . It contains , in a condensed form , all the information , collected fiom a great variety of authorities , which has as yet reached this country . The desire to avail ourselves of the latest intelligence , while it ha 3 rendered the narrative somewhat irregular aud unmethodical , has at the same time enhanced its practical value , both to those who may think of emigrating , and also to those who may desire to know the history and capabilities of tbis
singular country . A more extraordinary narrative can scarcely be imagined , than that which it has been our duty , as sober chroniclers of facts , to relate , and vast as have been the immediate consequences of the discovery of tbe gold pincers in the valleys ofthe Sacramento and San Joaquin—they arc but trivial to the political and social influences which that discovery is yet destined to produce on the civilised world . It has opened up new regions for the employment of industry , capital , and enterprise . It will in a comparatively short period en use the most remote portions of the globe to be closely connected with each otber by means of the facilities which modern science has placed at the command of society . Through " the agency of the steam vessel , the railroad , and ultimately by tbe universal extension of tbe electric telegraph , time and space
may be almost annihilated , nnd far distant continents be moro closely connected for all the great purposes of commerce and civilisation , than were tbe northern counties and the metropolis of England a century ago . The barbarism and antagonism which are the necessary results of mutual ignorance and isolation , may be expected to disappear before the steady flow of European energy , intellect , and skill , to those far off regions . Asia , the birch place of religion , art , and industry , may by the reilex tide of western civilisation , be raised from its present semi-civilised , and , in some places , wholly barbarous condition ; while in the fertile and beautiful islands ofthe Pacific , along the shores of New Holland , large enough almost to take rank as a fifth continent , and in the Sew Zealand groupe of islands , we bave already planted the seeds oi future powerful Anglo-Saxon States .
As Anecdote Of Bebimdotte.—It Was Some T...
As Anecdote of _Bebimdotte . —It was some time during tbe short peace of 1802 that a foreign gentleman came to Gibraltar with letters of credit and introduction from a mercantile house in Italy to a house of business on tbe rock , the ostensible object of this visit being to open transactions between the two firms . The merchant of the rock having read the letters , received the bearer witb cordiality , and made him welcome as an inmate in his bouse . The foreign merchant , when introduced hy his host to the Governor , expressed , as must
every stranger , astonishment at the stupendous works , betraying by hia observations the most profound ignorance of the science of fortification ; and at the same time expressing a natural curiosity to " see the lion 3 , " which the Governor readily assented to , and introduced him to one of his staff as a Cicerone . The extravagant wonder and puerile observations of the man of commerce at all he saw afforded no small amusement to his conductor , who , after a day or two , tired with doing the civil , allowed the gentleman to rove about among the sentinels , tb whom he soon became as familiar as
un chien du regiment . The time cf departure of the visitant was now close at hand , when one morning the hospitable Gibraltar merchant , who wns in tbe habit of catering for himself , was on his way before breakfast to the fish-market , when he found that in his haste he had put on a wrong hat . On taking it off to examine it he recognised it as the hat _ofhis guest . Something , however , unusual in its appearance , induced him to scrutinize it more closely , when he observed a double crown , concealed in whicb , to his astonishment , be found plans and elevations , with a most perfect reconnoisance ofthe rock , made by the very simple gentleman who knew not the angle of tbe flank from the flanked angle of a bastion , nor could tell a hornwork " from a *« ram ' s-horn . " Our Gibraltar merchant , pocketing tbo papers , hastened to lay the matter before the Governor . In the meantime , the foreign gentleman having missed his hat , suspecting that
all was not right , and tbat by remaining a moment longer he should endanger his personal liberty , hurried down to the port , and , engaging with a boatman , was beyond the range of the guns of the fortress , and on his way to Cadiz before the friend returned home . The person who thus escaped from the rock , on his arrival at Cadiz , coolly called on the British Consul , to whom he related tbe cause of his sudden flig ht from the British fortress and the loss of his papers and drawings ; " but , no matter , " said he , pointing to his forehead . '' I have it all here ; ray name is _Bernadotte . It will be remembered tbat at St . Helena Bonaparte mentioned the design he had of laying siege to Gibraltar , with tbe mode of proceeding and the amount of force employed , and the result of which he wa 3 confident would have been success , —all , no doubt , planned from the . information obtained from the man destined to wear the crown of Sweden . —Actual

the young ones uninjured , it was resolved by some youths to attempt their preservation . A small box was fixed whence the nest _; had fallen , with an opening to admit the parent birds ; the young ones were then p laced in the box . The old ones , after reconnoitering the structure , and cautiously watching for half an hour , ventured to look in , and finding their progeny safe , at once commenced feeding them in their new abode . But , after , all , it seemed not exactly to suit , their architectural ideas * , aad they immediately set about improving it , by filling up the crevices and spare corners ol tho box , and narrowing the aperture to the -usual shape and size , completing the whole by noon next day . It was observed that the repair was made solely by one of the birds , while the other did the duties of nurse . The young ones are now rcadj to take wing .
Thb Gateshead Observer has recently received " a lock ofa lady ' s hair , " —a lock snow-white , blanched by 119 winters . The person from whose tresses it was cut is Mary Benton , who was born near Raby Castle in 1731 , and can still walk in the garden . She resides at Elton , with her grandson , a farmer . Her daughter keeps a public-house , and her husband's mother still survives , in her ninety-sixth year ; so that the daughter is probably singular in the extreme longevity . of both her mother and her mother-in-law . Witt is a minister like a locomotive ?—We have to look out for liim " when the bell rings !" _Wur is the condition ofa medical man without patients like that of a Sabbatarian eating a hot dinner on a Sunday ?—Because it is Profession without Practice . —Punch .
In tbars gone by , when it was the fashion for ladies to trim their straw bonnets with artificial w _' _teat and barley in ears , a satirist ofthe time "let on " aa follows : — " Who now of threatening famine dare complain , Wben every female forehead teems with grain ? See how the wheat sheaves nod amid tho plumes—Our barns are now transferr'd to drawing-rooms ; And husbands who indulge in active lives , To fill their granaries , may thrash their wives . " John Wilkes was once asked by a Roman Catholic gentleman , in a warm dispute on religion , " Where was your Church be / ore Luther ? " "Did you wash your face this morning ? " inquired the facetious alderman . "I did , sir , " "Then pray where was your face before it was washed ?"
* ' How loss will it take me to reach the next town ? " asked a pedestrian on a turnpike road . " Walk on , walk on , " said tho person interrogated . Thinking be was misunderstood , the traveller repeated the question , when the same answer was returned . Fancying that the man was crazy , the pedestrian moved on at an accelerated pace . "Look here , " said the interrogated party , calling after the traveller , " It ' 11 take you half an hour . I couldn ' t tell you , till I saw how yeu walked , what time you'd take !"
A Quibble on Alarm . —A man is indicted for _strikinar at the Queen , with intent ( among other things ) to alarm her Majesty . It turns ont that the very _judije has forgotten the legal ( which is also the military ) meaning of the word . An alarm is originally the signal to arm , Query : Is it not formed from the cry a Varme , which in modern times is aux armes ? The judge said , that from tbe courage of her family , most likely the Queen was not alarmed , meaning , not frightened . But the legal intent to alarm merely means the intent to make another think that it is necessary to take measures of defence or protection . Wlien an alarm is sounded , the soldier who is not alarmed is the one who would be held to be fri ghtened , — Notes and Queries .
A wife must learn how to form her husband ' s happiness by seeking to know in what direction the secret of his comfort lies ; she must not cherish his weaknesses by working upon them ; sho must not rash _' y run counter to his prejudices . Her motto must be , never to irritate . She must study never to draw largely upon the small atock of patience in man ' s nature ; nor to increase his obstinacy by trying to drive him ; never , if possible , to bave " scenes . " I doubt much if a real quarrel , even if made up , does not loosen the bond bettveen man nnd wife , and sometimes , unless tlie affection of both be very sincere , lastingly . If irritation should occur , a woman must expect to hear from most men
a strength and vehemence of language far niore than tho occasion requires . Mild as well as stern men are prone to this exaggeration of language ; let not a woman bo tempted ever to say anything sarcastic or violent in retaliation , Tho bitterest repentance must needs follow such an indulgence if she do . Men frequently forget what they have themselves said , but seldom what is uttered bv their wives . They are grateful , too , for forbearance in such cases ; for , whilst asserting most loudly that they are right , they are often conscious that they are wrong . Give a little timo , is tho greatest boon you can bestow , to the irritated feelings of your husband . —The English Matron .
Jack-o'Lastekmi . —Upon this apparently barren and unpromising theme a modern writer strings together tho following original and amusing moral reflections * . — " Every man has his _Jack-o ' -lantern ; in _ni"ht or _noon-day-in lonely wild or in populous city-each has his Jack-o ' -lantern . To this man Jack comes in the likeness of a bottle of old port , seducing him from sobriety , and leaving him in a quagmire ; to that man he appears in the form of a splendid phcaton and a pair of greys , driving liim into the open jaws of ruin . To one he presents himself in the guise of a cigar , keeping him in a constant cloud ; to another he appears in no shape but that ofan old black letter volume , over which he continues to pore long after his wits are gone . Jack-o ' -lantern , s to some people a mouldy hoarded
guinea—and theso he leads into the miser ' s slough of despond ; whilo to others , when he pays them a visit , he rolls himself up in tho form of a dice-box —and then he makes beggars of them . Poetry is one man s Jack-o ' -lantern , and a spinning jenny is another s . ' Fossil bones buried fathoms deep in the earth act Jack ' s part , and lure airay one class to explore and expound ; _Cuypa and Claudes , in the same way , play the game part with a second class , and tempt them to collect , at tbo sacrifice of every other interest or pursuit in life . Jack will now take the likeness ofa French cook , and draw a patriot from his beloved country to enjoy a foreign life , eheap ; and now he will assume the appearance of a glass of water , persuading the teetotaller , . who drank "like a fish" is his young days , to drink a great deal mere like a fish m his old days _.
