FUN IN CAIFORNIA. '
There is a little 'paper printed al Sari,
Diego, California, called the San Diego
Herald-an ordinary grave paper, that went
into the support of John Liigler lr Gover
nor, and that was not suspected of ever be
ing inclined to fun. The editor's name is
JutUon Ames,. a county judge and a
moderate man. Lately before the elec
tion he took in in'o his bead to go on a
tour to another part of the State, to elec
tioneer probably lor the democratic Bigler,
and entrusted the Herald during his absence
to the charge ol John Phoenix,. Esq., a
gentleman ol that ilk, known in this vicini
ty by the name ol Deri)'.
But the Judge had lorgollen to inquire
into the nature of Mr. Phcrnix's politics,
and the first thing the new, rditor did was
to change the political character of the
Herald by running up the Whig flag, bear
ing the name of William Waldo lor Gov
ernor. The Judge's consternation may be
lancied. He immediately wrote Lack a
Idler to riia'uix, telling him to bring the
Herald back to its allegiance; whereupon
Phci'nix declares his demoLracy that his
support of Waldo was a mistake, and asks
lomiveness', avowmz himself irady "to
embrace democracy with ardor,' slap her
on the back, and declare himself in favor of
erecting a statue of Andrew Jackson on
the plaza."
" 'Whatever i, is right,' (savs ivrpnix,)
"as the old gentleman sweetly remarked
when he chopped oil the end ol his nose
will) a razor, in the endeavor to kill a lly
that had lit thereon when he was shaving,"
and applies the remark to the election ,of
liigler, and odds "II Una election should,
however indirectly, cause San Diego to
assume its proper position as th first com
mercial citv ol California,' I shall reverence
the name of John Jligler forever, and I
will bestow that honored appelation upon
my youngest .child, and have it engraved
upon a piece of Irather or other suitable1
material, and suspended about that tender
infaot's neckr until such time as he shall
be old enough to learn and love the virtues
of his honored god-sire. ' f
Mr. FlitL'nix in his arm chair writes an
eloquent valedictory on retiring frum the
editorship. He says:
'Te Dkvm LAUDAb'Mi;s.-Judge Ames has
returned ! With the completion of this ar
tide, my labors are ended ; and, wiping
my pen on my cal-tail, and placing it be
hind my sinister ear with a graceful bow
and bland smile for my honored admirers.
and a wink of intense meaning at iny ene
mies, I shall abdicate with dignity the ann
chair,' in favor of its legitimate proprietor.'
By the way, this 'arm chair' is but a pleas
ant fiction of 'Boston's' the only seat in
the Herald office being the empty nail keg,
which I have occupied while writing my
leaders upon the inverted sugar box, that
answers the purposi of a table. LSut such
is life. Divested of its poetry and romance,
the objects of pur hizbest admiration be-
come mere common places, like the Her-
ld cn,r nd ble.- Many Ideal which
we have learned to love and reverence

' Calmly We seated oursi'h'es In t hear-re

step, a heavy stpp, was heard vpon .the
stairs, and 'iloston stood before us. 'In

At this moment we discovered that we
had been laboring under a 'misundersland

ol the pressman, who thrust a roller between
our faces, (which gave the whole affair a
very different complexion,) the matter was
finally .settled on the most friendly .terms,

We write this while sitting

off, while Ihe judge is sopping his eyes
with cold water in the next room, a small
boy standing beside the sufferer with a ba-

advertisement in Ihe second page of the
San, Diego Herald, a fair copy of which
was struck off upon Ihe back of his shut at
the time we held him over the press.
But Jlr. riitpnix's great pictorial sheet is
the crowning efi'ort of his genius.'. It is a
magnificent "take ofl" of lankee pictori
als', and though severe and unjust, it is very
witty. 1 wo columns of the paper are
devoted to illustrations. The first is (be
picture of an ox, and called a "Portrait of
His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the son
of a gentleman named Coburg, who is the
husband of Queen ictoria of England, and
the 'father of many of her children. He
is the inventor of the celebrated 'Albert
Hat,' which has been lately introduced
with great effect in the U. S. army; The
prince is of German extraction, his father
being a Dutchman and his mother a
Duchess." .

jeiked suddenly under water. The hunters
immediately approached, and with the aid
of others at hand, dragged tha deer into Ihe

i not lo be grooved or fettered, but simply
punched, and the nails countersunk. 3. Calkin

The weight of the shoe is lo be from 12 to 15
