- The admission of California to the Federation of the United

States, and the extravagant expenditure of cash and worship lavished on Jenny Lind—now an anomaly—may be taken as a type of the normal state of matters in the remote future. The admission of the Gold State, by facilitating transfer of the comparatively neglected, will lose its energy and its social "poor" will appear in the land, and " the people" will be despised by a class already designated as "distinguished persons " ; court lan- guage will flourish, favourites will be elevated into idols ; and the wealth first won by the "grit " of the Republicans will be lavished by the subjects of King "Hateful W. Parkins" on some opera- singer of that day.
