He denounces as agross breach of faith the attempt of the government to supply forts Sum ter and Pickens with provisions and ammunition; justifies their seiz.ire by the confederates, and lays on the north the responsibility f r all bloodshed. Mr. Davis fixes .upon himself the responsibility of prolonging the struggle after he was convinced that success was impossible. The concluding chap ters, it is expected, will defend his policy.

How tlie Author Obtained a Bunk on an Oregon Steamer. Mr. Dubois, our consul at Aix la Chapelle, who lias just returned to Europe after a very agreeable visit, is to be credited with tlie iolkwing story about Bret Ilarte, which is certainly now to this sec tion, and which Mr. Dubois told in his own inimitable way at a New Vork dinner table tlie oilier nijrht: In speaking of compliments one day. Bret -Ilarte said 1k would give the history of tin greatest compliment which he himsclt had ever received since lie had attained any distinction as an autlior.

"There is no berth here for Bret Harte or any other man," was the rough answer, and the card was handed back "Be you the man as writ The Luck of Koiiring Camp!

It is undeniable that there has been a long season of apparent financial depression in this state, al though it has not been occasioned by natural causes. A great many reasons liavc been assigned, the substance of all of them being too much distrust. If a man happens to Imve some slight set-lack. his creditors take alarm and crowd him into bankruptcy, tltough he would have done well enough had e been let alone. When everv- body is afraid of some undefined danger, attempts to ward it off will frequently liasten the coming of disaster. The bcHniiin- of California's troubles commenced with the agitation for tlie revision of the constitution. Men tvho could see very far ahead knew well enough that all property rights would be placed in a condition of uncertainty, and the work of the legislature and tlie courts for a quarter of a century be rendered valueless. The politicians wanted a convention and they carried their point. The agitation that had been commenced among the work ing people grew in proportions on account of the injudicious opposi tion against some of the more reasonable demands of that class, and all of the crazv notions ever invented or heard of found advo cates. 1 he speeches ot manv of the demagogues were bad enough, j out tueir unwise opponents putea to mem uesiirns aim aims that the facts did not warrant, so that when the new constitution was adopted, it was supposed in tne east that the tramps ana va grants hau captured the state, tne foolish zeal of some of the news papers in declaring that the rabble were ruling, had an effect that had not been foreseen. The new con stitution has been a burden, but its more objectionable provisions have not been acted upon and their worst effect is I keep alive the fear that something in that direction may yet be done. The actions of the legislature, last year and now, have helped tlie financial depjession along, as there is a wide-spread fear of evils that are possible, though not very probable. l the feeling of uneasiness tlwt has taken possession of th public miml can once lc allayed, there will Ik a spt-edy restoration of rosperiiy. Profitable Drunkenness. The state of Illinois has a law which enables tlie wife of a drunk ard to maintain an action for damages against the saloon keejKir wlio sells liquor to her husband. Under this law x gentleman of Bloomington has adopted the pro fession of drunkenness, and with such success, savs the Globe- Democrat, that his wife expects very soon to be worth 5,000 in her own right as the result of the (lamasre suits she lias brought w 3 ajramst the minor-sellers of that city. Not only will she derive a great deal of satisfaction from the money which an intelligent jury will doubtless -aw-ard her, but her liege lord must have had a gay and festive time in rolling up the damages which are now demanded by the aggrieved wife, for her suit complains of forty-five saloon keepers who, according to her averment, have contributed to the habitual intoxication of her hus band.

A gigantic sea worm has been taken by long-line fishermen, among some sen-wrack, on one of the cod heoks off Dunrobiu Castle, Golspie, New Brunswick. This worm, wliose existence is known to scientific nauuralists, is but very seldom heard of by the gen eral public. This specimen, now alive in the aquarium in the Duke of Sutliorland's museum at Dun robin Castle, is only alxnit five feet long. It is probable that he has not uiicoiled himself to his full length. In shape he is flat, like a ribbon, and only five or six lines in width, of a brown violet color, smooth and shining like varnished leather. When full jrrown this remarkable worm is stated, on ex cellent authority, to attain the length of from forty to ninety feet. Fishermen not unfrcquputly haul in as much as thirty fathoms in length. But it is very rare to see him extend his whole dimensions, as his habit is to coil himself up into a heap of knots, and when in this ball shape to take up his habi tation unuer stones and tlie hol-j lows of rocks. In this position Jnnnirn RAUlCD he attracts notice by the continual , Dnuic"j "Armtn tightening and loosening of his' vx- complicated knotty body. When no wishes to shut his quarters he has the power of unknotting him self and gliding in a graceful man ner through the water, propelled hvciH.L. ;lic, ru tfce ,englll of n-!tne DOdv -V; regards his food land habits, nothing whatever is known for certain.

Horse 1-Mttcation. In something written we have an indistinct recollection of having made reference to a general disposition among boys in their teens, as well as boys of niHturer years, to enlighten and bless the world with their pro found knowledge of the horse and his history. Our books and newspapers are full of this kind of literature, and it varies in style from the production of the child at school, commencing with: The horse has four legs and a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That Ins neck is clothed with thunder and the glory of Ins nostrils is terrible. He smelleth the battle afarolf, the thunder of the captains and tlie shouting. Between these two ex tremes of the child at I113 first school ctmHMiition, and the professional literature, we have even grade of pre tention, jumI each professing to have mastered the whole subject. As we approach the close of this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing better in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct."
