It is, of course, the fancy of a lady, and consists of the burr of a pine tree placed in a wine glass balf full of water, and from between the different Jayers of the burr is shooting forth green blades, bright, beautiful, refreshing, For a little thing we have seen nothing that so pleased us witb its beauty and novelty. And the secret is this, the burr was found dried and opened ; the different circles were sprinkled with grass seed, and it was placed in a wine glass, with water in as above. Ina few days the moisture and nourishment gave the burr life and health, the different circles closed and buried within themselves the grass sced, anda few days more ed to the seed also life, sprout and growth, and now a pyramid of living green beantifally relieved by the sombre hue of the burr, is the resnlt—as pretty and novela parlor ornament as we have for a long while seen.

Wuat Becomes or rue Pusisc Documents — It seems that a regular and profitable business has been carried on in Washington for years by old booksellers, in Congreseional documents intended for gratuitous distribution among the people.

Mercantile Gazette and Shipping Register that Mexican silver dollars are very scarce on. this coast, although they have commanded 12 to 14 cents premium in this market, while California is suffering from a coin, and our bankers and others are unable to et rid of their half dollars, The cause of this is stated to be that the Mexican dollar weighs 415 grains, and bas a fineness of 902 thonsandths, while the American dollar weighs 412 grains and has a fineness of 900 thousandths— the actual value of the Mexican being 105 cents, and of the American 104 cents. . Formerly, the American half dollar was of jast half the weight of the dollar piece aud of the same fineness, and smaller silver coins in exaet proportion, The consequence was that the country was drained of silver for foreign trade. To remedy this evil, an act was passed by Congress, in 1853, redueing the weight of the balf dollar from 206} grains to 192 grains, and the weight of smaller silver coins was proportionately reduced also; but the dollar piece was left at its former weight, so that now, while the dollar piece is worth 104 cents, two balf dollars, or four quarters, or ten dimes, are worth but 96 cents and 8 mills, In foreign trade, then, and particularly with the Chinese, Mexican dolars are first in demand, and American dollars next; but U.S. balf dollars, and smaller Ameriane silver coins, are a drug in the marcet. The Branch Mint at San Francisco, while it has coined half, quarter, and tenth dollars, in abundance, has not yet coined a single silver dollar piece, and has no authority to coin them, The merchants are satisfied, that if American silver dollars could be procured, they would be almost as acceptable abroad as the Mexican, and thus meet a great and steadily increasing want now felt by all merchants on this coast engaged in the Asiatic trade. In this condition of things, and at the request of the merchants, the Superintendent of the San Francisco Mint has made application for permission to coin silver dollar pieces, and it is believed that it will be granted him. Washington was celebrated by the Americans at Victoria, in a most rational manoer, by a cessation of all business, and the stars and stripes were seen floating from their dwellings. But much excitement was caused by the refusal of Gov. Douglas to allow them to fire a salate in honor of the occasion. An indignation meeting was held at the auction room of J. A. McCrea, and violent speeches were made; but it was finally resolved to do nothing contrary to the wishes of the authorities, The brig Swiss Boy, of Sau Franeisco, Sort Welden, on her way from Port Orford to Victoria, with a cargo of lumber, sprung a leak, and on the 3ist of January put into Netinett Sound, the Captain having the intention of beaching the veesel and making repairs. On the lst of February, the vessel was boarded by several huodred Indians, who stripped her of her rigging, pitlaged the cabin, and robbed the seamen of clothing, &c. The captain and crew of eight men were held prisoners for several days, but ultimately managed to made their escape. A Sootchman named Hawley, of Philadelphia, committed suicide on Fraser river, by shooting himself with a pistol, after trying to shoot his partner. He was believed to have beeu deranged. —s Prestpentiat, Speou_ations.—The New York correspondent of the Bulletin, of Feb, 5th says : The Little Giant, you will perceive, is looming up largely among the Democracy of the East, in spite of bis continued recusant attitude toward the administration. At Hartford, the other day, the Democrats met in caucus, to appoint delegates to their several Nominating Conventions, where Douglas men were elected by a vote of nearly five to one, Strong resolutions in favor of putting Mr, Douglas in nomination for the Presidency were also passed nearly unanimously, All through the New England States, and in thie State ag well, the Little Giant seems to be the favorite among the Democratic masses, In some places, the Administration has been obliged to appoint Douglas meu to office, because there were no other Democrats to be found. This was the case in Boston last week, where Mr. Ammidoun, a strong and openmouthed adherent of the Illinois Benator was appointed Naval Officer. On the other hand, there is evidence afloat that some of the wire-workers of the party are busy in initiating an entirely new movement which is doubtless intended to act as a counterpoise to the Douglas influence in the party, especially in the South and West, This movement looks to the putting of Ex-President Pierce upon the Presidential track in 1860. Jefferson Davis is said to be at the head of it, and several heretofore prominent New Hampthire politicians at its tail. Davis, it is said, expects to make capital among the fire-caters of the South against Douglas, because the latter neglected to challenge his traducers in the late war of words at the eapital. Emicratixne To Sonora,—There is an organization in this State, whose headquarters is at Los Angeles, the object of which is to induce native Californians to remove to Sonora, provided the government thereof will hold out sufficient inducements, Gov. Pesqucira, of Sonora, under date of December 10th, 1858, says, in 4 letter to a resident of San Francisco: “I have written to-day to the Mexican Emigration Society in Los Angeles to aid them in their labors, and authorizing them to make contracts with ship captains for the passage of all those who are unable to pay their own money. I wish to form a pretty colony on the banks of the river Mayo or on the frontier, or wherever the colonists may prefer.

It is, of course, the fancy of a lady, and consists of the burr of a pine tree placed in a wine glass balf full of water, and from between the different Jayers of the burr is shooting forth green blades, bright, beautiful, refreshing, For a little thing we have seen nothing that so pleased us witb its beauty and novelty. And the secret is this, the burr was found dried and opened ; the different circles were sprinkled with grass seed, and it was placed in a wine glass, with water in as above. Ina few days the moisture and nourishment gave the burr life and health, the different circles closed and buried within themselves the grass sced, anda few days more ed to the seed also life, sprout and growth, and now a pyramid of living green beantifally relieved by the sombre hue of the burr, is the resnlt—as pretty and novela parlor ornament as we have for a long while seen.

Mercantile Gazette and Shipping Register that Mexican silver dollars are very scarce on. this coast, although they have commanded 12 to 14 cents premium in this market, while California is suffering from a coin, and our bankers and others are unable to et rid of their half dollars, The cause of this is stated to be that the Mexican dollar weighs 415 grains, and bas a fineness of 902 thonsandths, while the American dollar weighs 412 grains and has a fineness of 900 thousandths— the actual value of the Mexican being 105 cents, and of the American 104 cents. . Formerly, the American half dollar was of jast half the weight of the dollar piece aud of the same fineness, and smaller silver coins in exaet proportion, The consequence was that the country was drained of silver for foreign trade. To remedy this evil, an act was passed by Congress, in 1853, redueing the weight of the balf dollar from 206} grains to 192 grains, and the weight of smaller silver coins was proportionately reduced also; but the dollar piece was left at its former weight, so that now, while the dollar piece is worth 104 cents, two balf dollars, or four quarters, or ten dimes, are worth but 96 cents and 8 mills, In foreign trade, then, and particularly with the Chinese, Mexican dolars are first in demand, and American dollars next; but U.S. balf dollars, and smaller Ameriane silver coins, are a drug in the marcet. The Branch Mint at San Francisco, while it has coined half, quarter, and tenth dollars, in abundance, has not yet coined a single silver dollar piece, and has no authority to coin them, The merchants are satisfied, that if American silver dollars could be procured, they would be almost as acceptable abroad as the Mexican, and thus meet a great and steadily increasing want now felt by all merchants on this coast engaged in the Asiatic trade. In this condition of things, and at the request of the merchants, the Superintendent of the San Francisco Mint has made application for permission to coin silver dollar pieces, and it is believed that it will be granted him. Washington was celebrated by the Americans at Victoria, in a most rational manoer, by a cessation of all business, and the stars and stripes were seen floating from their dwellings.

Jefferson Davis is said to be at the head of it, and several heretofore prominent New Hampthire politicians at its tail.
