Tho following song was written for the Hing ham Agricultural and Horticultural Society : Tho Farmer's tho chiuf of tho nation, Tho oli) tut of noble is ho; How blent beyond others his station, From want and from envy how freo I Ills pateut was granted in Eden, Long ages ami hges ago, O tho Farmer, tho Fanner, forever, Three cheers for tho plow, spade, aud hoot In April, when nature Is waking. And -blue birds are first on tho wing, His plows how tho fallows aro breaking, Whence beautiful harvest shall spring; Then brondeajit alonj the brown furrow M'o Iih.Umi tho good seed to sow, O tho Farmer, tho Farmer, forever, Throe cheer for the plow, spade, and hoc I When Summer In beauty is glowing, With frenh, early morn he's away, And killfutly guide bo the mowing, Or loosen the iweet-sceiictd hay ; Then ruM him at noon by the brook-sido Where gntiy its bright wuters How, O the Farmer, tho 1 nrmer, forever, Three cheers for the plow, spade, and boe! But when in tho clear Autumn weather Ho reaps tho reward of hi care, f? buy and joyful together, What Monarch with him can compare? His b.irns running over with plenty. His trees with their fruit bending low, O tho Farmer, the Farmer, forever. Three cheers for the plow, upadc, and hoc! Then sing mo the life of a farmer, With eomfort and health in his train. And heed not the voice of the charmer That whimpers of speedier gain With all the rich trenurc tU teeming. That Heaven nu iu child cau bctow, O the Farmer, the Farmer, forever, Three cheers fur the plow, pde, and hoe! Female Wauiuouh. It U not a very uncommon thioj fur women to serve iu the dixuise of tioldicrs, utut our late war presents several example- Tho Kervicej. however, appear. lo have been tticousui. erable aud the diufcc imperfect, fur 'discharged is the brut record of nearly all. In tl3 war of tho American He vo lution two or three instances ot heroic ac tion on the part uf women were gratefully acknowledged by the public authorities. Congress ja.scd a resolution making hon orable mention of the Mrvicejof Margaret Corbin. wounded at the attack on Fort Vahinton, where he filled the post left vacant by her husband, who was killed at her hide while serving a piece of artil lery. A complete unit and half the mutithly pay of a soldier were voted to icr. J he runner j wife who took her husband" place when he was killed at the battle of Monmouth was rewarded by a commis-Mon. Jut no auveuture ot the attracted so much attention as the won- derful romance of the .Maachu-ctts "irl who actually served in the Hcvolutiouary army through a lotijr term, and rendered ervice" valuable enough to be rewarded by a j-eusion during life. H.VNtiUlNAHV Kncouxti u in CAMf. Lieut. Mason and Carter, writing from Port Hayes, Kansas give an account of j af. eloquent simplicity. "The Marc the killing of home Indian who were ichaie do Xoaillc ascended on the altar of confined at that point. The Chiefs were ordered to remove, in charge of a guard, from the corral to the guard room, when they gathered in their tents, began the death wl.oop, and taking out their knives, went for the soldiers. Cardcgon attacked the sergeant of the guard and was knock ed cn-cless by a blow from the butt of a musket. Sallio. u ferociotiH Mjuaw, wield ing a knife, tried to Mh'-ath it iu the body of an ollker, when one of the guard shot her dead. Jiig Head locked with scorn on the circle of bayonets surrounding him and stabbed Sergeant Hazen, seriously wounding him iu the back. One of the guards shot him dead. Dull -Knife tried to stab everybody near him, aud he was pricked severely by bayonets. He and the ' senseless Cardcgon were then disarmed and placed iu the guard-house. BnimiT Futuuk. The prospects of carrying California for the Democracy at the coming election are very brilliant. On the Fifteenth Amendment as tissue of the campaign, we ought, and in all probability shall elect two thirds of both branches of the Legislature besides two Supreme Judges, and at least half of the fifteen District Judges to be chosen in October. There is a man ifest disposition on the part cf the Hadi cal press to accept negro and Chinese equality a the platform of their parly this fall. Hut whether they accept it or not we shall force that issue upon them, and they will be compelled to accept it, for it is the one cardinal principle in Grant's Administration and he is no longer a Hepublican thac dares to repudi ate the Negro and Chinese Suffrage Amendment. Examiner. Hesult of Speculation. Young Dalton, the broker, who committed sui cide in New York a few days since, had an enviable reputation on 'Change. He pome time since acquired a fortune on the street and retired. Not content, how ever, with the competence he had secured, he again returned to tho maelstrom of speculation with a view to adding a little more to his "pile." It was the old story. He got into the Pacific Mail at the wrong time, lost all he had before made, and, in a fitof desperation, blew his brains out. His wife was so prostrated by the terri ble blow that doubts of her recovery are entertained. The funeral was one of the saddest occasions of the kind which ever occurred in New York.- New YorJc Let ter. There seems to be a considerable prob ability of the Spanish Government find ing a way out of their financial difficulties for the present. Several eminent bank ing firms at' Paris and at Frankfort, have undertaken the loan of 10,000,000 re cently authorized by the Cortes." The terms of the loan will shortly bo made public. p . Henry Ward Beecher. compares the different religious denominations to the different pockets in a suit of clothes, and says it is of little consequence whether one gees to Heaven by an inside or out side pocket. THIS WIFI2 OF LAFAYI2TTI2. In tho bloody days of the French rev olution, Marcchaledo Noailles, tho Duch chso d'Aycn and tho VicomtesHO do Noaillen wero executed on the name day. A priest of Oratory, tho Abbo Oarrichon, waft the confessor of the Duchcssc d'Ayeu and her daughter. One day when he was cxhortinjr his pcnitcutH to prepare for death, ho naid to them : "If you go to tho guillotine, and it God . gives me strength, I will accompany you there" They look him at bis word, and cried out with vivacity, "will you protniso us?" "l'es," he answered, "and in order that you shall recognize me, I shall have on a blue coat and a red vest." Tho day when the thrco victims mounted the fatal cart, tho Abbe Carrichoo, disguised an ho had promised, threatened with certain death if ho was discovered, mingled with the crowd aud followed them on foot up to tho scaffold. Ho had trouble at first to Lmakc himself recognized, in pitn of all his efforts to put himself in view, but a storm having broken out, tho people dis persed, and the priest remained alone. Mine, do NoailJc perceived me, and smiling, seemed to say to mo : Ah, there you ore at last. Ah! how sid we ore. We looked for you fr a long time Mama, there he is.' Mmc. d'Aycn re vived. All my irresolution ceased. I felt in myself an extraordinary courage. Jlathcd in sweat and rain I continued to walk near them. "The rtorm was at its highest point, the wind more impetuous. Tho ladies iu the first cart were very much troubled by it, particularly tho Marechale de Xoat.lc; her large cap was thrown back, letting her gray hair be seen ; she tottered on her miserable scat, which had no support, her hands tied behifcd her back. We ar rived at the open place where the Fau bourgh Han Antoinc begins, I went be fore, I examined it, and I said to myself, this is the best place to give what they wish so much to receive. The cart was going slower. I turned toward them. I made a sign to Mine, do NoaSlles, which she understood perfectly. .'Mamma. M. Carrichon is going to i:ve us the absolu tion.' Immediately they bowed their heads with an air of repentance, of emo tion, of hope and piety. I raiwi my hand, and with my head covered, pro. nounccd the formula of absolution and tho words which follow it very distinctly, and with a preternatural attention they joined it better than ever. I h ill never forget that charming picture. From that moment tho fctorm went down, the rain diminished, and teemed only to have ex ited for the Mxece.- of that which was o much needed on both side. I bles.-e 1 God ! they did a;so." What a picture, in fict the good priest calls it charming, and suth a word in Uttch a moment is sublime. The details uf the execution are related with the sacrifice. The tor of herdreshad to 1 folded iu that her neck might be uncovered I Was impatient to go away, and yet I wih- ed to drink the cup to the dreg aud to keep my word, since God gave me the strength to contain myself in the midst of so many emotion. Six ladies next passed. Mine. d'Aycn was the tenth. How pleaded tihe seemed to me to die be fore her daughter. When she accndcd the scaffold the chief executioner took off her cap. As it was fastened by a pin which he had not taken out, the hair was pulled violently, which caused her some pain, which showed itself in her features. The mother disappeared her worthy and tender daughter took her place. What emotion I felt on seeing this young lady all in white, seeming much younger than she was, like a gentle little lamb going to be slaughtered. I felt as if I was pres ent at the martyrdom of oue of those young virgins or holy women, 'such as they are represented to us. What hap pened to the mother happened also to her; the same forgctfulncss of the pin, the same sign of pain, and at once the same calm, the same death. What an abundance of vermilion blood flowed from the head and the neck ? How hap py she is ! I cried to myself when her body was throwo into that frightful cof fin." . The daughter, grand-daughter and sis ter of these three innocent victims, Ad rienne do Noaillcs, Madame Lafayette, was born in 1759. Her daughter tells us that she was in her childhood very much troubled by doubts on religion. The agi tation commenced at the age of twelve and lasted several years. Although she experienced great troublo from her uncer tainties, sho voluntarily deferred her first communication until the moment they had ceased, which was already nu aston ishing trait of character in a child of this age. She married when fourteen and a half; M. do Lafayette was himself only sixteen. She was almost in her eight eenth year when her husband departed for America. She endurcd with courage this unexpected separation ; her ardent love for her husband was exactly what made her strength. The resolution of M. do Lafayette, which somo very much ap plauded, was blamed exceedingly by oth ers; the Due d'Aycn in particular, did not dissemble his anger. The young wife did without hesitating what she was to do all her life she took the part of' her husband against her own family, and swallowed her tears. Lafayette returned with gratitude this passionate devotion; what might have , divided them united them more closely.. ;, . . Indignant. -General Butler was tak ing tea at tho house of a lady friend in Washington the other day. Tho Gene ral seemed to look as though something was lacking, and the following' dialogue took place : Hostess "Can'it bo possi ble, General, that you have no spoon ?" Butlef rising indignantly and holding out both hands -"No, madam if you don't believe it, you can search me.". California has nearly a million and a half of dollars lying idl.e in its treasury, A CAM I Olt. M A YAIttf. There is- a fellow over at Groundhog's Glory who- has a rich claim for sale. Sam Hodgers heard about it the other day and went over there to sec what tho chances were for making a good bargain. Sam is a dissatisfied ort of a fellow, and is al ways trying to buy into something rich. So, as I was Baying, ho plunged right ovpr to Groundhog's Glory the moment he heard of it. When he got there he found that the owner of the claim and his wife had gone on a visit to another family in the Big Hug Canon. J ho only person about the place was a mall boy about twelve years of age. J'rom him Sam obtained some information which tho owner himself might not have communicated. Sam went down with the boy and took n look at tho claim. While ho was cast ing his eyes around, the boy sat on the bank and whistled "Oh, Gosh! my own Jemima." Having finished his survey, Sam went up and sat down beside the innocent juve nile. " Hub," said he, " I've heard that this is n rich claim, aud it docs look pretty well. Now, to tell the honest truth, what does your father want to kcII out for if its as rich as they gay ?" The small boy stopped whittling, cocked his bead to oue side, closed one eye, and squinted thoughtfully at Sam with the other. " Stranger, have you got a half a dol lar about you? If you have, perhaps I wouldn't mind telling you." Sam forked over the half dollar, and the boy looked at it a moment and whist led " Get out of the wilderness." " Well, feller, btin' a-t tt' you, I don't o'jject to saying that the rcawm dad wants to hell this here claim is cause it's too rich." " Too rich ! Played out," put in Sara.' " Now, stranger, you jest hold ycr hoprc till I get through, and I'll explain it to you. You see thU ain4t like other claims where the gold is in sandy gravel and mostly in the bed rock, but the bank here is nearly ail clay, and there is heaps and gobs of fine guld through it. The clay is the all-firedcst stickiest stuff that ever wuz, and you can't begin to work it. When dad get to work down there he nattcrally get the darned stuff all over him, and when he comes in at night he's jest coated with about x inches deep more or less, and this clay U plum full of SOU. ' I don't sec that's any reason fcr his wanting to s.ll out," interrupted Sam. " Well, old ho, you keep cool an don't get rampagious an I'll tell you how it is. When dad comes iu at night he' mighty tired ; but mam, you see, is such an awful economical woman that she don't like to seo so much gold wasted as dad has about him in the clay every night, o mam ho aliers turns in and cleans him up. At first she used to be satisfiied with scrap ing hint down with a hoe and panning him out. She made lots of money at that. He used to pan out rich, I tell you. Hut pretty sojn mam got unsatisfied 'cause it took too long to pan him out every night, and besides she didn't get half the gold. The clay was so stickey it wouldn't wash good. Then tdic got a string of sluices out in front of the house and put i little hydraulic and used to pipe him off. Dad was dreadful mad about it. You otifht to hear him growl and cus.s. lie s?aid it was to wearin' for a man to work in the drain all day an I then be worked himself at night. Mam paid he shouldn't board with her if he didn't and that fetch ed him, you bet. " Things rati on this way for some time. The old woman made two or three hun dred dollars a weeks rcg'lar. Hut as I told you before, she was awful savin' and she found she couldn't pipe him off clean, and lost ever so much in the tailin's. You don't know how sticky the clay is round here. The onlv way which you can work it clean is to chuck it into a kittle of bilin' water and bile it for two or three hours. That's the way the fellow what struck the claim used to work the rich crevices. Mam hecrcd of this, and she thought if she could work the old man in some such way, she could save the gold. Of course she didn't expect to bile him right down, you know. That would not have been exactly on the square, but sho thought if she could let him stand in mid dlin' hot water for an hour or two every night, sin could run him through tho by draulic then and wash him off pretty clean." " Well, stranger, you mighn't think it, but dad was so pesky contrary thatho wouldn't do it. Mam said he'd got to do it, 'cause she wasn't going to see money thrown away by no euch contrariness. Neither of them wouldu'tgivo in, so they concluded to split tho difference by lettin' dad sell out and go below and buy a ranch. ".That's jest how it is stranger ; if you ain't married and want to buy this claim. you can make a mighty good thinj out of it, but if you ve got a wife sbe wory t let you rest for try in' to work you to advan tage." . : Here the unsophisticated infant finish ed and walked 'away,' calmly whistling "I wish I was a dai.'y" while Sam rotired to reflect on tho matter, for ho was, and is, married.

The Department of State has received dispatches from Gen. McMahon to the 2 1st of April, at which time he was well. His relations with Lopez were so cordial and friendly that after the great defeatof the Paraguayans, he was entrusted with the care of Lopez's family. There has been no attempt by Lopez to interfere with his free communication with his govcrcmcnt, and whatever impediment existed is attributed to the course of the allies, in declining to send or receive the flag of truce, and in firing upon that sent by the Paraguayans with 3IcMahon'8 dis patches.
