Thus Shakespeare ni.vlu Hotspur
speak nearly three hundred years ago;
but it wa n-M-rvi-d lor the pasengers
and ervw of thu Hising Star to realize
'its truth while off Cane Hattems on
the 20th of July, 1608. At ono o'clock,
r. 31., on the 24th ult., I left New
York on board the steamer lining
Star bound for Aspiuwnll. She is a
small u-cl, and badly constructed
for the accommodation of pashcugcr.
The sliite-rooms tire nearly all below
deck, aud badly ventilated.
She is the slowest, dirtiest, htiggiesJ,
j and inot lUagreeable steamer that

us nine days and eighteen hours to reach
Anpiuwall, The I'acitio .Mail Steam
ship Company must bo trying to make
money by employing tfu'ifji" boats,
cheap cookf, cheap stewards, and im
pudent and dirty waiters. I'erchnnce,
they hope to run ofl the opposition
steamers. This is a poor way to eet
rid of opposition. It ought to increase
it. I would advise passengers to avoid
tho ItUing Star us they would pesti
lence and famine.
There are about 550 passengers on
board, consisting principally of Ger
mans and Americans, all bound, for
California, Nevada or Oregen. Some
ot thu German steerage passengers
said they paid as high as 500 for
thiougli tickets from llrrmeu to Han
Francisco. They could have come in
the iit cabin for ouo-bnlf tho money.
As soon as we were fairly out to sea
the wind commenced blowing front the
southwest, am) by tho time wc were
opposite Catic Ilattcras it blew furious
ly. Somo gazed steadily on nature's
surging and boisterous waves; but a
largo majority of tho passengers re
mained in bed all day. Many of them
ln'coine very sea lck. Among the
number was an old lady and her young
est daughter, who said she had left
ten children at home, and that she was
going to California to see her husband,
whom sho had not seen for upwards
of a year and a half, She was' so slok
she thought sho would1 die, and bid her
daughter to writ to 4ier eldest sister
to marry, and to take caro ot the bal
ance of the children until their poor
father could return home. A for hours
more and the wind ceased, and we had
a dead calm, and tho good od lady
was seen on tho upper deck viewing
the beauties of the ocean, and some
flying fish, which were sporting on tbo
waters like birds in the bushes after an
evening's shower, The good old lady's
daughter came by lor side and said :
" Well, Ms, how do you like your bri-
Jv I I'Jl' J14 IJl'Jl'.
dal tour?" "Ah! Maggie," replied
her mother, " yesterday I thought, cro
tlii.n, I should have been tood (or those
fish; but 1 am now well, and I hope to
have a pleasant journo) .Maggie, you
need not write to your sister anvthlui;
about marrying; she will marry mioii
enough without my advice." Thus
has it ever been from the first dis
covery of California gold. Theto is
no pleasuru, in crossing tho plains, or
ii a aea voyage; yet, pell-mell, ot Ko
thetnen in quest of gold, leaving fond
and tender ones to follow by lamp or
sea. Ofl have fond hearts thus been
severed forever. " Oh I man, whose
life is but a span : why dost thou nes
tle in thy bosom the pasion which
impels thee to worship nt the shrino of
VifiM, more than around the altar of
1'ciiu.i and Minerva?"

4th Aug: Wo crossed tho Isthmus
of I'anama today. This is the rainy
season on the Ithmti, and tho recent
heavy rains had swollen ono of the
branches so high as to wash nway a
bridge on lhe railroad. This delayed
us six hours. When we arrived at I'uii
ama the tide was low, so low we could
not get on hoard the steamer Contili-
lion until near 4 o'clock the next morn
ing. We weie compelled lo sit up nil
night In the ferry boat, without any
thing to eat or drink, except some fruit ,
cakes and wine, which we purehaed
from tho filthy natives, who looked
nearly as dirty as the waiters on the
Hising Star.

visions, water and coal.

paper appeared on board this morning
called the Tattler, It continued daily
for five days. From the 1st number, I
tuko tho following local items:
"A facetious friend at our elbow,
says that Captain Hudson is like unto
our fore-father's. He holds tho Con

The same stickler at our elbow
wishes us to offer the following toast:

nor their amendments troublesome.
We fear, no wo don't exactly fear,
but we think them is tumble soma

ready to spring to arms." No lire arms
have been visible during the voyago;
but there are ninny who are going o

have a few old maids on board who
are springing for tho arms of tho Cali

A Characteristic Anecdote. How Frank
Blair Sinks his Shirt.
Tho Chicago D-ilnmc relates tho fol
lowing incident lllustrativool tho char

tho Viro Presidency :
Thirty or thirty-live years ngo, tho
canal which now serves Washington
City as a sower was not tho mudhole

the.su occasions, when Frank and one
or two of the lllairs were present, it

pie.kud up a shirt Irom the pile of cloth
lug and began to dress. As thu boy
was a very small one, the onimilunilv
to show the power of a Ithtlr was to
good to bo lost; Frank snatched the
shirt from the child ami threw it oyer -
board. The outj-ry at so mean an act,
ho answered with laughter, lor his big
brothers stood by him. The shirt not
sinking so last ns he wished, he threw
iliuk of mud ami stones upufi it, nn
til the ovcr-frelghied garment went
down. Frank laughed long nnd loud ;
the little boy cried ; whereupon Frank,
ns a punishment for not accepting as nn
honor the notice taken of tho garment
by the lllairs threw additional weights.
upon the already sunken shut, which
would now nlmnst need a dredging
machine to recover it.
Hy this time nil except hu lllairs
had dressed themselves iind'tho pile of
uneiniineii clothes were reduced to
thoso belonging to them and the lad se
lected as their victim. The lllaiis had
enjoyed their past time, dancing in
their nborlglnal costume, lint now turn
ing to their own clothes, found one of
thelrshltts was missing. The supposed
victim had found his own garment nnd
escaped to a safe distance. Terrible

Furope. The Skmtt of Sweden, wlih

travelers who tiro lost upon thu waste, I
and sundry haunted locks on the coast
of Norway still go by lhe name of

land (he name of Skralti is still to be
heard in the mouths of the peasantry,
and the memory of "Old Scratch," as
he is fitmlliarly called, may probably
be yet destined to survive through
many future Chlstiau centuries, in com
pany with "Old Nick," who is no other
than Nikr,(the dangerous water demon
of Scandinavian legend, This dread
