Shinar, and no debris or ruins remained as heart, I wish to lay before the public, a case which deserves a high commendation, not only as an act of scientific skill, but that of humanity also.

In the first stages of syphilitic or gonorheeal diseases, he guarantees a cure ina few days, without inconvenience to the patient or hindrance to his business. When a patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has developed the symptoms of secondary syphilis, such as buboes, or painful swellings of thé groins, or ulcers in the throat or nose, which if not checked, destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to mortify, separate and come away, leaving the sufferer hideous to behold jor when splotches and pimples break out upon the skin, or wien he has painful swellings"upon the bones, or when his constitution is injured so as to predispose to consumption or constitutional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks no compensation.

While in this state, and having previous to my affliction tasted the sweets of life, I once more was induced to attempt seeking aid of a physician, and, by recommendation, called upon Dr. L.J.Czapkay. I told him my circumstances and my inability to reward him for all his services, regardless of which, however, he at once undertook my case, and with the blessing of God I was once more restored to perfect health. Unable to reward him for the boon which I enjoy at present, and yet conscious of my indebtedness, I consider it due to myself and to all aitlicted to make the case public, in order that those in need of medical advice may find a physician in whom every confidence can be placed. fe-S:] : MEYER YABLONSKY. state of Califerhia, county of San Francisco, ss— Subscribed and sworn before me thls first day of Au‘gust, A. D. 1856. GILBERT A. GRANT. {L. S.J Notary Public. Dr. L. J. Czapkay’s Medical and Surgical Institute sat the cor { Montgomery and Sacramento sts., restlessness, confusion of ideas, dislike for society, . and a feeling of weariness of life, with the nervous system so excitable that slight noises shock or startle ! the patient, making his existence miserable. For the above maladies the Doctor will guarantee a cure or ask no compensation. He can be consulted free of eharge, and invites all to call, as it will cost them nothing, and may be much to their advantage. A Tribute to Merited Worth, HE INGRATIILUDE of man to his fellow man is so often met in life, that testimonials, prompted by the finer feelings of the heart, are oasis in the life of those who sacrifiae their best days in philanthropic devotion to the alleviation of the ills of frail mortality. Empiricism floods the columns of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters, singing peans to the worth of their egotistical charlatanism. Below we append a letter from a worthy man, who, a brief pe. riod since, seemed destined to ‘‘shuffle off this mortal . coil,’? who looked forward to his dissolution with that pleasure which only those weighed down with the heavy hand of disease can. Contrary to hope, the ability of a skillful physician has restored him to his former health. Relieved from his terrible situation, and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his case and remedial agent, and his statement is authenticated by a notary public. The demands of society imriously command its publicity, and it is given more o warn the unwary than to sound the praises of a physician of whom scores of like cases can be cited: Certificate. The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly atflicted where a permanent relief of their suiferings may be obtained, feels it his duty to publicly express his sincere gratitude to Dr. L. J. Czapkay, for the permanent recovery of his health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practices of uncontrollable passions in youth, depressed in body and mind, unable to perform even the most trifling duty imposed upon the daily avocations of life, I sought the advice of many physicians, who at first regarded my disease as of trifling importance, but, alas! after afew week, and in several instances months, of their . A treatment, Ifound to my unutterable horror, that . instead of relief the sympton s became more alarming . in their torture, and being finally told by one that the disease, being principally contined to the brain, medicines would be ot little consequence, I despaired of ever regaining my health, strength and energy; and as a last resort, and with buta faint hope called upon Dr. Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed some medicine which almost instantly relieved me of the duil pain and dizziness in my head. £ncouraged by this result, I resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and, by a strict obedience to his directions and advice, my head became clear, my ideas vollected, the consiant pains in my back and groins, the weakness of am¥ Bina, .the nervous reaction of my whole system: dni the slightest alarm or excitement, the misanthropy and evil forebodings the self-distrust and want of confidence in others. the ineapability togtudy:and. Waht sof resolution, the frightful, the exciting,-drid a€"times the pleasurable dreams at night, followed by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared, and in fact, in two months after consulting the Doctor, I felt as if inspired by a new life, that life which, but a short time ago, I contemplated to end by my own hand. With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into the snare of incompetent quacks, I deem it my Dr. Czapkay. and recommend him to all who may stand in need of medical advice, being assured by my own experience that, once under his care, a radical and permanent cure will be eflected.

Remarkable Discoveries in the East. Ruiys of THE TOWER OF BABEL DISCOVERED. cient Babylon and Nineveh. None perhaps have been read with greater interest, than the last one announced, which is most undoubtedly the veritable ruins of the ancient ‘Tower of Babel!’ The discovery was made by M. Place, the French consul at Mosal.—} This gentleman has already amazed and delighted the world by the monuments which he has hranght to light from the riins of the, ; ’ tan 4 ntiom te on-: these added to.the new results of hisds wir £ 2 re A ’ bf ah a t ane of Us: < é s, hit eed LHe Bett the intelligence wis Awe S ieee SRG ALCUESTIAN axXpior cay mmunicated to the world by the Beirut oe M st fat Fh as itll yi OSU. bela, a few day’s journey from Place was engaged in exploring the field, plain, which is famous as having been the . scene of a decisive battle fought between Da. rius and Alexander. We copy the following . extract from the letter of the Traveller’s cor. respondent : “The Tower of Bable was supposed to exist only asa Biblical souvenir—a thing of memory and not of substance. And, indeed, to many who contemplated it only in its audacity and folly, it seemed amyth or a fancy only of Oriental imaginativeness or superstition. Besides, nolocality was assigned to the structure, except the great plain of . the proof of its veritable reality. How suprising. then, its discovery—if discovery it shall prove—that Titanic structure, whose base was laid in the earth yet soaked with the waters of the flood, and whose sum. mit was designed to pierce the very heavens! . And why not discovered ? Nineveh has yield. ed up its secrets after a burial of long cen-: turies. Babylon once the glory of the Chaldean’s excellency, has opened her gates a. gain, if not to her Persian besiegers, at least to the living generation, of all races, and in her cylinder-books offers her history to the world’s inspection. What remained for discovery in the wreck and ruin of the old world, but Babel, that mighty tower which was designed to pierce the skies and defy a second deluge! If it seems too much for belief, what should be thought incredible, when Nineveh and Babylon are brought back to . the land of the living by a sort of resurrec. tion. and their monuments of art are travel. ing through the nations to amaze and delight mankind? Besides, there is a providence to he traced in these discoveries. They serve not only to arouse but to instruct ; they not only gratify the curiosity, but establish beyond all doubt , and controversy the veracity and inspiration . of the Sacred Records. The light of pure Christianity begins to beam upon the early seats of the human race; it is meet that it should be met by the light of the remotest antiquity. The substance of the information which has just been circulated relating to the discovery of the Tower of Babel, I will give in few words expecting soon to receive fuller . details, at the same time remarking that the . French Consul General of Beirut, Mr. Lisseps, has received various curious articles which were found in the Tower, which I hope isoon to see and describe. I think my hand, if not my heart, will fairly tremble, if once it . takes hold.of the shovels, the trowels, and the . hods used by those old masons and builders. . * * * * * * * . This proud tower which was built in de. fiance of Heaven and aimed to pierce the . very skies, has lost in the course of ages its . cloud reaching elevation. Six of its eight . . Stories bave fallen and crumbled into dust ; ‘ but the two which remain are so high that . they may be seen fifty or sixty miles around. . The base of the tower is quadrangular, and . each side about six hundred feet long. The . tower is made of bricks of the purest clay . and of white color, which is a little shaded . with a yellow tint. Under a clear sun, and . asa whole, this ancient monument of human . skill and daring presents a fine blending of . colors which set the painter’s pallet at de. fiance. Before being baked, the bricks had been covered with characters traced with the . accuracy of the hand of a writing master.— . Near the top of the letter the straight strokes . were adorned with flourishes resembling the heads of nails. All was neat, regular and severe : and, indeed, those who saw _ these specimens of ancient calligraphy affirm that the fathers of the human race wrote a better hand than their children. Another curious fact arrested the attention of the exploring party. The sacred record . runs thas: “And it came to pass as they . journeyed from the East, that they found a} there. “And they said one to another—Go . to, let us make brick, and burn them thorinstead of stone) and slime had they for mortar.’ Modern sceptics may ask— Where could these builders obtain all this bitumen? for a vast quantity must have been demanded to meet the warts of so many trowels,— It is asingular coincidence that M. Place from the tower, whose waters flow in such . abundance as almost to forma river. The! stream would force its way into a river in the vicinity, did not the people hasten to stop it by setting the bituminous flood on fire tinguished for want of aliment. Thus the} old fountain still pours out inexbaustible quantities of bitumen or slime, which supplied these old builders in their vast enter. prise. Bitumen also adds to the durability . of bricks, as well as firmly consolidates them . in masonry. Could anything be added to the! marvel of the coincidence?

The progress of manufacturing all articles requiring iron is more rapid than that of almost any other business. We have an instance of this in the quantity of manufacturing iron which is now being turned out in establishments, where but two years ago there was not a forge or furnace within miles. Machine establishments, rolling mills, smelt. ing furnaces, are all called, and the moment . they are ready to do business, there is sufficient employment to drive them far beyond their capacity. As an instance of this, the Wyandotte Iron Works are an example, of . which Detroit should be somewhat proud.— On the docks of the Central Railroad, at the present moment, there are piles of railroad . bars, which compare favorably in every / quality that renders railroal iron valua. ble. with the best Fnglish that is brought into this country. The quality of this iron . is most excellent. Of its capacity to with. stand the wear and tear of travel, we have . not as yet had a sufficient test, for there has . not been time. But when a bar is sawn in. two, and is then polished so that it has a surface equal to that of good quality of wrougbt iron, we may admit that it will stand any reasonable test. The Wyandotte Mills are now turning out these bars at the rate of 200 . tons per week, and they are used by the Michigan Central road in all its repairs and . recoustruction of track, and also in the new additious being made ‘to the road. The sold} Mill, and new onesare sent back in their place. The saving that this effects is very large, and besides the roadis thus directly building up a great industrial interest, the importance of which cannot now be calen. lated. We sincerely hope that the dabbling . and patching of the tariff by Congress, will not effect this mighty interest injudiciously, . now that so great an element of wealth to this State has been so auspiciously commenced.—-Detroit Tribune. Philosophy of Death. Whatever be the causes‘of dissolution, whether sudden violence or lingering malady, the immediate modes by which death is brought about appear to be but two. In the . one; the nervous system is primarily attacked, and there is a sinking, sometimes an instantaneous extinction of the powers of life ; in the other, dissolution is effected by the circulation of black venous blood instead of the red arterial blood. The former is termed death by syncope, or fainting: the latter death by asphyxia. In the last mentioned manner of death, when itis the result of disease, the struggle is long protracted and accompanied by all the visible marks of agony, which the imagination associates whith the closing scene of life—the parched and pllid features, the cold clammy skin, the upturned eye, and the heaving, laborious rattling respiration. Death does not strike all the organs of the body at the same time; some may be said to survive others ; and the lungs are the last to give up the performance and die. As death approaches, they become more and more oppressed ; the air cells are loaded with an increased quantity of the fluid which naturally lubricates their surfaces : the atmosphere can now no longer come in contact with the minute blood vessels spread over the air cells, without permeating this venous filuid—hence the rattle; nor is the contact sufficiently perfect to change the black venous into red arterial blood ; an unprepared fluid consequently issues from the lungs into the heart, and is thence transmit. ted to every other organ of the body. The arriving at Marysville intime for the Shasta stages . when they tranquilly wait till the fire is ex. brain receives it, and its energies appear to be lullified thereby into sleep.—generally tranquil sleep—filled with dreams which impel the dying lip to murmur out the names of friends, aud the occupations and recollections of past life.

Observer has been permitted to copy the following paragraph from the diary of a lady who recently made a voyage to Calcutta. If the facts are scorrectly stated, they are curious indeed: sat “When one Gulf of Aden, we saw a very remarkable’tght. It was a rough and blowing evening that we were called on deck to see the ‘Milky Water,’ which is only seen just in this region. It is still undecided whether the effect , if. produced by electricity by atmospueric causes, or by animalcule. Instead of water, it seemed as if the vessel were plunging through great drifts of snow. The and if the air had been colder, and I could have caught the sound of sleigh bells, I . should bavériost all ideas of the sea, and imagined myself enjoying a magnificent sleighride. It was a splendid sight, and it is very remarkable 'that no chemical analysis can detect any péculiarity in the composition of the water ; and assoon as daylight or moonlight comes, it vanishes. The milky way lasted for three nights, and then suddenly stopped, and every evening afterward the . water was as usual.’ THE By Ripe oF VirGINIA TUNNELED— A Nice Catcunation.—The Blue Ridge Tunnel was finally carried through the mountain last week. On Monday morning the augurs appeared from either side, not more than half an ingh apart,and the perforation was completé, .The Staunton Spectator says : “So acturately has been all the calculations made by* Col. Crozet, that the augur holes from bata ends of the tunnel wereonly half an iuch distant from each other, when they met, and the difference in the length of the Tunnel! as computed by measurement, on the outside; over, “the top of the mountain, and as accurately .measured inside, after the perforation, ws less than six inches.

How People Take Cold. ercise ; tte place is in your own house, or office, or counting-room. Itis not the act of exercise which gives you the cold, but it is the getting cool too quick after the exercising. For example, you walk very fast to get to the railroad station, or to the ferry, { The time for taking cold is after your ex. or tocatch an omnibus orto make an appointment ; your mind being ahead of you, the body makes an over-effort to keep up with it; and when you get tothe desired spot, you raise your hat and find yourself in a'perspiration. You take a seat and feeling quite comfortable as to temperature, you begib to talk with a friend, or to read @ newsiper ; and before you are aware of it, yon = ence’: ee Se +31 , and 7 ». Yortlook around to tee where . . . t ‘. the eold — from, and find a window open near you, 8f a door, or that you have taken a seat at the forward part of the car, and as it is moving against the wind astrong draught is made through the crevices. Or, it may be, you meet a friend at a street corner, who wanted a loan, and wag quite complimentary, almost loving ; you did not like to be rude in the delivery of a two-lettered monosyllable, and while you were contriving to be truthful, polite, and safe, all at the same time, on comes the chilly feeling from a raw wind at the street corner, or the slush of mud and water in which, for the first time, you noticed yourself standing. After any kind of exercise, do not stand a moment ata street corner for anybody or anything; nor at an open door or window. When you have been exercising in any way whatever, winter or summer, go home at once, or to some sheltered place; and however warm the room may seem to be, do not at once pull off your hat and cloak, but wait some five minutes or more, and lay aside one at a time; thus acting, a cold is impossible. Notice a moment ; wher you retura from a brisk walk, and entera warm room, raise your hat and the forehead will be moist; let the hat remain a few moments and feel the forehead again, and it will be dry ; showing that the roomis aetually cooler than your body, and that, with your outdoor clothing on, you have cooled off full soon. Among the severest colds known, are those resulting from sitting down to a meal in a cool room after a walk ; or being engaged in writing, and having let the fire go out, the first admonition of it is that creeping chilliness, whichis the ordinary forerunner of a severe cold. Persons have often lost their lives by writine or remaining in a room where there was no fire, although the weather outside was rather uncomfortable. Sleeping in 100ms long unused has destroyed the life of many a visitor and friend ; our splendid parlors and our nice “spare rooms” help to enrich many a doctor, Cold sepulchral parlors bring diseases, not only to visitors but tothe visited; for coming in from domestic occupations, or from the hurry of dressing, the heat of the body is higher than natural, and having no cloak or hat on in going to meet a visitor, and having in addition but little vitality in consequence of the very sedentary nature of town life, there is very little capability of resistance, and a chill and cold is the result. But how to cure a cold promptly, that is a question of lifeand death to multitudes! There are two methods of universal application: first, obtain a bottle of cough mixture, or alot ef cough candy—any kind will do; ina day or two you will feel better, and in high spirits; you will be charmed with the promptness of the medicine ; make a mule of yourself by giving a certificate of the valuableremedy ; and in due course of time, you may depend upon another certificate being made for your admission, feet foremost, into the graveyard. The other remedy is—consult a respectable physician! LiBeRALism IN Cupa.—Varona, a Cuban liberalist, returned to Cuba about the first of December, from New York, at which place he had been residing for eight or nine years. His long residence in the States, however, proved a bar to his residence in Cuba, and he received from the Lieutenant Governor of thatisland an Titimation that it would be rise up; the surrounding ground seemed te fall in, and the place filled with water, forming a lake of bout 1000 metres, which has . been increasing daily in size ever since. The water is salt, and the general idea seems to be that the Hollow thus filled is the site of an extinct volcano.

The Lieutenant Governor doubtless considered that Varona ‘was too good arepublican to mingle with the . people of Cuba ; so he sent for him, and they politely gave him his passport, with the words—“God be with you”—which meant— ‘the devil take you.” Since the establishment of the United .

In the first stages of syphilitic or gonorheeal diseases, he guarantees a cure ina few days, without inconvenience to the patient or hindrance to his business. When a patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has developed the symptoms of secondary syphilis, such as buboes, or painful swellings of thé groins, or ulcers in the throat or nose, which if not checked, destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to mortify, separate and come away, leaving the sufferer hideous to behold jor when splotches and pimples break out upon the skin, or wien he has painful swellings"upon the bones, or when his constitution is injured so as to predispose to consumption or constitutional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks no compensation.

While in this state, and having previous to my affliction tasted the sweets of life, I once more was induced to attempt seeking aid of a physician, and, by recommendation, called upon Dr. L.J.Czapkay. I told him my circumstances and my inability to reward him for all his services, regardless of which, however, he at once undertook my case, and with the blessing of God I was once more restored to perfect health. Unable to reward him for the boon which I enjoy at present, and yet conscious of my indebtedness, I consider it due to myself and to all aitlicted to make the case public, in order that those in need of medical advice may find a physician in whom every confidence can be placed. fe-S:] : MEYER YABLONSKY. state of Califerhia, county of San Francisco, ss— Subscribed and sworn before me thls first day of Au‘gust, A.

A Tribute to Merited Worth, HE INGRATIILUDE of man to his fellow man is so often met in life, that testimonials, prompted by the finer feelings of the heart, are oasis in the life of those who sacrifiae their best days in philanthropic devotion to the alleviation of the ills of frail mortality. Empiricism floods the columns of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters, singing peans to the worth of their egotistical charlatanism. Below we append a letter from a worthy man, who, a brief pe. riod since, seemed destined to ‘‘shuffle off this mortal . coil,’? who looked forward to his dissolution with that pleasure which only those weighed down with the heavy hand of disease can. Contrary to hope, the ability of a skillful physician has restored him to his former health. Relieved from his terrible situation, and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his case and remedial agent, and his statement is authenticated by a notary public. The demands of society imriously command its publicity, and it is given more o warn the unwary than to sound the praises of a physician of whom scores of like cases can be cited: Certificate. The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly atflicted where a permanent relief of their suiferings may be obtained, feels it his duty to publicly express his sincere gratitude to Dr. L. J. Czapkay, for the permanent recovery of his health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practices of uncontrollable passions in youth, depressed in body and mind, unable to perform even the most trifling duty imposed upon the daily avocations of life, I sought the advice of many physicians, who at first regarded my disease as of trifling importance, but, alas! after afew week, and in several instances months, of their . A treatment, Ifound to my unutterable horror, that . instead of relief the sympton s became more alarming . in their torture, and being finally told by one that the disease, being principally contined to the brain, medicines would be ot little consequence, I despaired of ever regaining my health, strength and energy; and as a last resort, and with buta faint hope called upon Dr. Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed some medicine which almost instantly relieved me of the duil pain and dizziness in my head. £ncouraged by this result, I resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and, by a strict obedience to his directions and advice, my head became clear, my ideas vollected, the consiant pains in my back and groins, the weakness of am¥ Bina, .the nervous reaction of my whole system: dni the slightest alarm or excitement, the misanthropy and evil forebodings the self-distrust and want of confidence in others. the ineapability togtudy:and. Waht sof resolution, the frightful, the exciting,-drid a€"times the pleasurable dreams at night, followed by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared, and in fact, in two months after consulting the Doctor, I felt as if inspired by a new life, that life which, but a short time ago, I contemplated to end by my own hand. With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into the snare of incompetent quacks, I deem it my Dr. Czapkay. and recommend him to all who may stand in need of medical advice, being assured by my own experience that, once under his care, a radical and permanent cure will be eflected.

Remarkable Discoveries in the East. Ruiys of THE TOWER OF BABEL DISCOVERED. cient Babylon and Nineveh. None perhaps have been read with greater interest, than the last one announced, which is most undoubtedly the veritable ruins of the ancient ‘Tower of Babel!’ The discovery was made by M.

We copy the following . extract from the letter of the Traveller’s cor. respondent : “The Tower of Bable was supposed to exist only asa Biblical souvenir—a thing of memory and not of substance. And, indeed, to many who contemplated it only in its audacity and folly, it seemed amyth or a fancy only of Oriental imaginativeness or superstition. Besides, nolocality was assigned to the structure, except the great plain of . the proof of its veritable reality. How suprising. then, its discovery—if discovery it shall prove—that Titanic structure, whose base was laid in the earth yet soaked with the waters of the flood, and whose sum. mit was designed to pierce the very heavens! . And why not discovered ? Nineveh has yield. ed up its secrets after a burial of long cen-: turies. Babylon once the glory of the Chaldean’s excellency, has opened her gates a. gain, if not to her Persian besiegers, at least to the living generation, of all races, and in her cylinder-books offers her history to the world’s inspection. What remained for discovery in the wreck and ruin of the old world, but Babel, that mighty tower which was designed to pierce the skies and defy a second deluge! If it seems too much for belief, what should be thought incredible, when Nineveh and Babylon are brought back to . the land of the living by a sort of resurrec. tion. and their monuments of art are travel. ing through the nations to amaze and delight mankind? Besides, there is a providence to he traced in these discoveries. They serve not only to arouse but to instruct ; they not only gratify the curiosity, but establish beyond all doubt , and controversy the veracity and inspiration . of the Sacred Records. The light of pure Christianity begins to beam upon the early seats of the human race; it is meet that it should be met by the light of the remotest antiquity. The substance of the information which has just been circulated relating to the discovery of the Tower of Babel, I will give in few words expecting soon to receive fuller . details, at the same time remarking that the . French Consul General of Beirut, Mr. Lisseps, has received various curious articles which were found in the Tower, which I hope isoon to see and describe. I think my hand, if not my heart, will fairly tremble, if once it . takes hold.of the shovels, the trowels, and the . hods used by those old masons and builders. . * * * * * * *

. This proud tower which was built in de. fiance of Heaven and aimed to pierce the . very skies, has lost in the course of ages its . cloud reaching elevation. Six of its eight . . Stories bave fallen and crumbled into dust ; ‘ but the two which remain are so high that . they may be seen fifty or sixty miles around. . The base of the tower is quadrangular, and . each side about six hundred feet long. The . tower is made of bricks of the purest clay . and of white color, which is a little shaded . with a yellow tint. Under a clear sun, and . asa whole, this ancient monument of human . skill and daring presents a fine blending of . colors which set the painter’s pallet at de. fiance. Before being baked, the bricks had been covered with characters traced with the . accuracy of the hand of a writing master.— . Near the top of the letter the straight strokes . were adorned with flourishes resembling the heads of nails. All was neat, regular and severe : and, indeed, those who saw _ these specimens of ancient calligraphy affirm that the fathers of the human race wrote a better hand than their children. Another curious fact arrested the attention of the exploring party. The sacred record . runs thas: “And it came to pass as they . journeyed from the East, that they found a} there. “And they said one to another—Go . to, let us make brick, and burn them thorinstead of stone) and slime had they for mortar.’ Modern sceptics may ask— Where could these builders obtain all this bitumen? for a vast quantity must have been demanded to meet the warts of so many trowels,— It is asingular coincidence that M. Place from the tower, whose waters flow in such . abundance as almost to forma river. The! stream would force its way into a river in the vicinity, did not the people hasten to stop it by setting the bituminous flood on fire tinguished for want of aliment. Thus the} old fountain still pours out inexbaustible quantities of bitumen or slime, which supplied these old builders in their vast enter. prise. Bitumen also adds to the durability . of bricks, as well as firmly consolidates them . in masonry. Could anything be added to the! marvel of the coincidence?

The progress of manufacturing all articles requiring iron is more rapid than that of almost any other business. We have an instance of this in the quantity of manufacturing iron which is now being turned out in establishments, where but two years ago there was not a forge or furnace within miles. Machine establishments, rolling mills, smelt. ing furnaces, are all called, and the moment . they are ready to do business, there is sufficient employment to drive them far beyond their capacity. As an instance of this, the Wyandotte Iron Works are an example, of . which Detroit should be somewhat proud.— On the docks of the Central Railroad, at the present moment, there are piles of railroad . bars, which compare favorably in every / quality that renders railroal iron valua. ble. with the best Fnglish that is brought into this country. The quality of this iron . is most excellent. Of its capacity to with. stand the wear and tear of travel, we have . not as yet had a sufficient test, for there has . not been time. But when a bar is sawn in. two, and is then polished so that it has a surface equal to that of good quality of wrougbt iron, we may admit that it will stand any reasonable test. The Wyandotte Mills are now turning out these bars at the rate of 200 . tons per week, and they are used by the Michigan Central road in all its repairs and . recoustruction of track, and also in the new additious being made ‘to the road. The sold} Mill, and new onesare sent back in their place. The saving that this effects is very large, and besides the roadis thus directly building up a great industrial interest, the importance of which cannot now be calen. lated. We sincerely hope that the dabbling . and patching of the tariff by Congress, will not effect this mighty interest injudiciously, . now that so great an element of wealth to this State has been so auspiciously commenced.—-Detroit Tribune. Philosophy of Death. Whatever be the causes‘of dissolution, whether sudden violence or lingering malady, the immediate modes by which death is brought about appear to be but two. In the . one; the nervous system is primarily attacked, and there is a sinking, sometimes an instantaneous extinction of the powers of life ; in the other, dissolution is effected by the circulation of black venous blood instead of the red arterial blood. The former is termed death by syncope, or fainting: the latter death by asphyxia. In the last mentioned manner of death, when itis the result of disease, the struggle is long protracted and accompanied by all the visible marks of agony, which the imagination associates whith the closing scene of life—the parched and pllid features, the cold clammy skin, the upturned eye, and the heaving, laborious rattling respiration. Death does not strike all the organs of the body at the same time; some may be said to survive others ; and the lungs are the last to give up the performance and die. As death approaches, they become more and more oppressed ; the air cells are loaded with an increased quantity of the fluid which naturally lubricates their surfaces : the atmosphere can now no longer come in contact with the minute blood vessels spread over the air cells, without permeating this venous filuid—hence the rattle; nor is the contact sufficiently perfect to change the black venous into red arterial blood ; an unprepared fluid consequently issues from the lungs into the heart, and is thence transmit. ted to every other organ of the body. The arriving at Marysville intime for the Shasta stages . when they tranquilly wait till the fire is ex. brain receives it, and its energies appear to be lullified thereby into sleep.—generally tranquil sleep—filled with dreams which impel the dying lip to murmur out the names of friends, aud the occupations and recollections of past life.

Observer has been permitted to copy the following paragraph from the diary of a lady who recently made a voyage to Calcutta. If the facts are scorrectly stated, they are curious indeed: sat “When one Gulf of Aden, we saw a very remarkable’tght. It was a rough and blowing evening that we were called on deck to see the ‘Milky Water,’ which is only seen just in this region. It is still undecided whether the effect , if. produced by electricity by atmospueric causes, or by animalcule. Instead of water, it seemed as if the vessel were plunging through great drifts of snow. The and if the air had been colder, and I could have caught the sound of sleigh bells, I . should bavériost all ideas of the sea, and imagined myself enjoying a magnificent sleighride. It was a splendid sight, and it is very remarkable 'that no chemical analysis can detect any péculiarity in the composition of the water ; and assoon as daylight or moonlight comes, it vanishes. The milky way lasted for three nights, and then suddenly stopped, and every evening afterward the . water was as usual.’ THE By Ripe oF VirGINIA TUNNELED— A Nice Catcunation.—The Blue Ridge Tunnel was finally carried through the mountain last week.

Or, it may be, you meet a friend at a street corner, who wanted a loan, and wag quite complimentary, almost loving ; you did not like to be rude in the delivery of a two-lettered monosyllable, and while you were contriving to be truthful, polite, and safe, all at the same time, on comes the chilly feeling from a raw wind at the street corner, or the slush of mud and water in which, for the first time, you noticed yourself standing. After any kind of exercise, do not stand a moment ata street corner for anybody or anything; nor at an open door or window. When you have been exercising in any way whatever, winter or summer, go home at once, or to some sheltered place; and however warm the room may seem to be, do not at once pull off your hat and cloak, but wait some five minutes or more, and lay aside one at a time; thus acting, a cold is impossible. Notice a moment ; wher you retura from a brisk walk, and entera warm room, raise your hat and the forehead will be moist; let the hat remain a few moments and feel the forehead again, and it will be dry ; showing that the roomis aetually cooler than your body, and that, with your outdoor clothing on, you have cooled off full soon. Among the severest colds known, are those resulting from sitting down to a meal in a cool room after a walk ; or being engaged in writing, and having let the fire go out, the first admonition of it is that creeping chilliness, whichis the ordinary forerunner of a severe cold. Persons have often lost their lives by writine or remaining in a room where there was no fire, although the weather outside was rather uncomfortable. Sleeping in 100ms long unused has destroyed the life of many a visitor and friend ; our splendid parlors and our nice “spare rooms” help to enrich many a doctor, Cold sepulchral parlors bring diseases, not only to visitors but tothe visited; for coming in from domestic occupations, or from the hurry of dressing, the heat of the body is higher than natural, and having no cloak or hat on in going to meet a visitor, and having in addition but little vitality in consequence of the very sedentary nature of town life, there is very little capability of resistance, and a chill and cold is the result. But how to cure a cold promptly, that is a question of lifeand death to multitudes! There are two methods of universal application: first, obtain a bottle of cough mixture, or alot ef cough candy—any kind will do; ina day or two you will feel better, and in high spirits; you will be charmed with the promptness of the medicine ; make a mule of yourself by giving a certificate of the valuableremedy ; and in due course of time, you may depend upon another certificate being made for your admission, feet foremost, into the graveyard. The other remedy is—consult a respectable physician! LiBeRALism IN Cupa.—Varona, a Cuban liberalist, returned to Cuba about the first of December, from New York, at which place he had been residing for eight or nine years. His long residence in the States, however, proved a bar to his residence in Cuba, and he received from the Lieutenant Governor of thatisland an Titimation that it would be rise up; the surrounding ground seemed te fall in, and the place filled with water, forming a lake of bout 1000 metres, which has . been increasing daily in size ever since. The water is salt, and the general idea seems to be that the Hollow thus filled is the site of an extinct volcano.

The Lieutenant Governor doubtless considered that Varona ‘was too good arepublican to mingle with the . people of Cuba ; so he sent for him, and they politely gave him his passport, with the words—“God be with you”—which meant— ‘the devil take you.” Since the establishment of the United .
