THE FAR WEST, AS SEEN BY A WASHINGTON YOUTH. San Francisco, Catirornia, October 14, 1854. ' To the Editors of the Evening Star : Thave ventured to think a few sketches, however roughly drawu by the hand of your friend, might not be unacceptable to the Star, whose light shines even upon the distant waters of the Pacific ocean. You may remember we left Panama on the 18th of September, in the steamer John L. Stephens, a splendid ship, and ably commanded, en route for San Fran- cisco. On the 23d of that month we reached Acapulco, situated in the department of Mexico, about 175 miles nearly due south from the capital, and about 3.900 miles sailing distance from New York. We spent a very pleasant day at Aca- pulco. The ship, on our arrival. was immediately surrounded by natives, in boats, offering all kinds of fruit for saie, and ready to carry passengers on shore Native boys— little fellows about the size of D. » Swam around, diving down, very deep, catching dimes, which were thrown to them by the passengers A shark was seen within one hundred feet of the swimmers, who seemed not to take the least notice of him. Acapulco is a very ancient town. The houses are made of clay, or sticks cover- ed with burnt clay. The inhabitants are of adark yellow hue, and would style themselves in our country mulat- toes or negroes. Isaw one of the largest—in fact it was said to be the largest— pearl in the world. The price was two hundred dollars. A dealer said he would be willing to give a thousand for two oi them, if they could be had, and then he would be able to dispose of them at an enormous profit. Acapulco is in the hands of General Alvarez, and for that reason Santa Anna blockaded the port with two Spanish war steamers. But weslipped the block- ade and got in safely 1t was fortunaie for us that we did, for our coal was exhausted. Leaving that port, we passed the island where ihe ill-fated steamer Inde- pendence was lost, with so many per- sons on board, not long since; and also came in view of the place where the Win- field Scott was wrecked, and arrived at the city of San Francisco on the morning of the 2d instant, about 2 o’clock. Just before coming to anchor, we ran foul of ® brig, and smashed considerable of our starboard side, knocking the barber shop all to pieces, and knocking the bowsprit of the ship nearly off. Upon landing we dashed off to Wilson’s Exchange, where we had engaged rooms, but subsequently took quarters at the Bassette House, at the rate of $14 per week, which, on the score of economy, we B pisses to a boarding house of equal comfort. This is one of the most extraordinary cities on the continent, or indeed in the world. Its growth is unprecedented, and its riches and splendors in some re- spects rival the East. Just look at it. A city six years old, repeatedly burnt out and rebuilt again, and now with more than sixty thousand inhabitants ! I should like, if time permitted to go into particulars. Among the splendid establishments of the place I visited Duncan s Chinese Sa- loon, which is really magnificent, sur- passing any thing I had ever before be- held. It is, indeed, a bazaar, filled wih the richest products of China, India, and of Europe. Shawls of the finest texture, at prices of five and six hundred dellars each; Ohinese goods and ivories, ex- tremely curious and of great variety ; diamonds of all sizes, among which I observed one valued at $3,250. ‘Time, however, will not allow me to go into further particulars. Shortly after my arrival I called at the residence of Senator Gwin. I ici- pated in his elegant hospitality. His lady is one of the most accomplished of her sex, and presides over his establish- ment in such a manner as to win the re- gard of the crowd of friends that fre- quent his house. By the way, let me tell you that since I have been here I have heard enough to convince me that the chances of Mr. Gwin’s re-election to the United States Senate are getting stronger ev day. He is a branch of the “Old Hickory” tree, a Tennessean, born near the burial eu of ex-President Jackeon, and a emocrat and statesman every inch of him. lubes —— men tell me the are for him, and the Legislature of Clio will not be ieee disregard the popular choice in this matter, so gravely affecting the present and future interests of this great State. r Thad the sea also of meeting in this city with Mr. Johnston, cousin of Judge Johnston, of the Sixth Auditor’s office. Mr. Johnston is a member elect of the next Legislature, and is a gentle- man of fine attainments. I presume, ere this reaches you, that the news of the dreadful catastrophe to the Yankee Blade will have been tele- graphed. It is supposed that the vessel was run upon the rocks purposely.

TL THE DANCE OF LIFE. “Mirth and motion prolong life.”\—.dhernethy. Human life is a mere dance—the nur- sery a bawl-room! Old maids and bach- elors, for want of partners, are compelled to exhibit ina pas seul. Knavery prao- tises the shuffle, while pride, prudence, and experience, are professors of the art of cutting. Courage teaches the en avant, and discretion (‘the better part of val- or’’) the ‘* en arriere.”” Some are happy in their choice of ‘ partners; while many are doomed to go through the whole “dance” with the dowerless and disagreeable Mis-Foriunes and Mis- Chances. The ambitious and would be-great are continually struggling to show off ina particular *‘ set ;"” but, notwithstanding the pains they take in their “ steps,” frequently experience the mortification of a dos-a-dos, when they are anxiously exerting all their efforts for a smiling vis @ vis. These are the «‘ ups and downs” of the dance.” The “lords of creation” (with few exceptions) are very awkward and ungainly ; while ‘lovely woman” is most generally perfect in the « figure.”’ Love is generaliy **:aster of the cer- emonies ;” but, being rather pur-blind, makes the most ridiculous mistakes in introducing ‘‘ partners ;” and, although Avarice (who officiates in the higher cir- cles) is lynx-eyed. he commits as many errors in ‘‘ coupling” the company as his coadjutor. Hope illuminates the “festive scene,” and away they bound on the “light fan- tastic tov’—hands across—down the middle—up again !—til! Time steps in, and throws adamp upon their merri- ment—the piper stops for ‘want of breath,” and—the dance ends ! Tas Op Necro’s Loeic.—A clergy- man asked an old servant his reasons for believing in the existence of a God. « Sir,” says he, “I see one man get sick. The doctor comes to him, gives him medicine. the next day he is better; he keeps on till he gets about his business. Another man gets sick like the first one, the doctor comes to see him; he gives him the same sort of medicine; it does him no good; gets worse; gives him more; but he gets worse all the time till he dies. Now that mans time to die had come, and all the doctor® in the world couldn’t cure him. “One yearI work in the cornfield, plow deep, dig up grass, and make noth- ing but nubbins. Next year work the same way ; the rain and dew comes, and makes a crop. “Thave been here going hard upon fifty years. Every day since I have been in this world I see tke sun rise in the East and set in the West. The North star stands where it did the first time I ever saw it; the seven stars in Job’s cof- fin keep the same path in the sky, and never turn out. It ain’t so with man’s works. He makes clocks and watches ; they run well for a time, but they get out of fix and stand stock still. But the sun, moon, and stars keep on the same way all the while. There is a power which makes une man man die, and ano- ther get well— that sends the rain and keeps everything iu motion.” What a beautiful comment is here fur- nished by an unlettered African, on the language of the Psalmist: The Hea- vens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Dey unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth know!edge.”” Gaminc-Hovse Prorits.- A letter, in the Wolner Zeitung, gives an account of the profits of the gaming bank at Ham- burg. one of the most celebrated of the German watering places, at which gam- ing is allowed by the government. The shares in the bank are of the amount of five hundred fforins each, and on these the following dividends have been paid: In September, 1847, a dividend of 44 florins ; in 1848, two dividends—one of 55 florins, and the other of 59 florins ; in 1851, two dividends—one of 111 florins, and the other of 72 florins; in 1852, two dividends—one of 72 florins, and the other of 37 florins ; in 1853, two divi- dends—one of 84 florins, and the other of 100 florins ; and in March, 1854, one dividend of 133 florins, another veing due in September. This, however, is only a part of the profit made out of the frequenters of these German resorts. Betore the shareholders receive anything, the government receives a large rent from them, as its shares of the plunder ; and all the expenses of the costly estab- ments in which the gaming takes place have to be defrayed. JatL AMUSEMENTS IN INDIANA.-—Accorde ing to the Lafayette (Ind.) Journal, the prisoners in the jail at that place have a It says: «Through the kindness of the jailor they have been provided with a violin, and one of the number being a good player they have frequent cotillon parties or stag dazces, which have the advantage of being ‘select,’ without that stiffness and formality iar to such entertainments in ¢ bi ircles.” They have recently made a valuable acquisition to their num- ber. An itinerant showman, who had fallen into the clutches of the law, and, owing to the tightness of the money 'Y | market, was unable to pay the cost, and was caged to satisfy the insulted dignity of the State. He got upan exhibition the first evening of his incarceration, and has continued them ever since, to the amusement of his companions.” No Rz-Cotuxorion.—aA certain linen draper, waited upon a lady for the amount of an article purchased at his shop. She endesvored to remind him that she had paid when he called some time ago ;. he declared he had ne remembrance of the circumstance; on which she produced his receipt. He then asked pardon, and said, “lam I did not recollect it. To which the lady replied. * I sincerely believe you are sorry you did not re-col- lect it !”
