ch . Fiydraulic Bress. i To tHe Gints.—Read what a practical . philosopher says in the Napa Reporter: . . “Ladies—caged birds of beautiful plumage, but sickly looks—pale pets of the par. lor, who vegetate in an unhealthy atmos. phere like the potato germinating in a dark . cellar, why do you not go out into the open . air and warm sunshine and add lustre to . your eyes, bloom to your cheeks, elasticity ; to your steps, and vigor to your frames?— . Take early morning exercise, let loose your . corset strings, and run up the hills on a wager, and down again for fun; roam in the field, climb the fences, leap the ditches, wade the brooks, and, after a day of exhilirating . exercise and unrestrained liberty, go home . with an appetite acquired by healthy enjoy. ment. The blooming and beautiful young lady— . rosy-cheeked and bright-eyed—who can . darn a stocking, mend her own frocks, command a reginient of pots and kettles, feed the pigs, milk the cows, and be a lady when required, is the girl that young men are in quest of for wife. But your pining, lolling, screwed-up, wasp-waisted, doll-dressed, consumption mortgaged, music-murdering, and novel-devouring daughters of fashion and idleness—you are no more fit for matrimony than a pullet is to look after a brood of fourteen chickens. The truth is, my dear girls, you want less fashionable restraint, and more: liberty of action. More kitchen and less parlor; more leg exercise and Tess sofa; more pudding and less piano; more frankness and less mock-modesty, more corned beef and less bishop. Loosen your waist-strings, and breathe in the pure atmosphere, and become something as good and beautiful as nature designed.” Quartz Minxrxc ty orp Eeypr.— Mining for gold in auriferous quartz veins was prosecuted extensively in Egypt as early as 2500 years ago—perhaps much earlier. Fifty years before the time of Christ there was a picture in one of the temples in Thebes, of an Egyptian Monarch making a present to the Gods of all the gold and silver which he received in one year from his mines; and the amount as near as we can now arrive at it, was about $30,000,000. The historian Diodorus Siculus, who mentions this picture, adds, as translated in Jacobs on the precious metals: “On the confines of Egypt and the neighboring countries, there are parts full of gold mines, from whence, with the cost and pains of many laborers, much gold is dug. The soil is naturally black, but in the body of the earth there are many veins, shining with white marble, (quartz,) and glittering with all sorts of bright metals, out ef which those appointed to be overseers cause the gold to be dug by the labor of a vast multitude of people. For the Kings of Egypt condemn to these mines not only notoriouscriminals, captives taken in war, persons falsely accused, and those with whom the King is offended, but all their kindred and relations. These are sent to this work either as a punishment, or that the profit and gain of the King may be increased by their labors.”—Alta. GERRYMANDERING.—We clip the following from Hittel’s ‘Variations of the English Language,” now being published in the Alta: “Grerrymander, (g pronounced hard and accent on the penultimate,) is an Americanism to designate such a method of arranging election districts, as will give the party making the arrangements a greater number of representatives than they would be entitled to on a fair system of districting, and more than they should have in proportion to their votes cast. Thus each Congressional District must have 90,000 inhabitants, and to obtain that number three or four counties may have to be united., The ordinary strength of each party in every county is well known, and the dominant party in the State Legislature, if dishonest, may unite the strong opposition counties into as few districts as possible, casting very large opposition majorities, while the dominant party shall have more districts with smaller majorities and perhaps a much smaller popular vote. The word “Gerrymander” was derived from Eldridge Gerry, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, who was accitsed of having been the first to practice this species of fraud on the rights of the people.” Newsrapers.—There are published in New York city 18 daily papers—4 in the German, 1 in the French, 1 in the Italian, and 12 in the English language. There are also 37 monthly and semi-monthly, 8 semi-weekly, and 105 weekly papers. There are ten illustrated papers published in London every week, whose aggreate circulation is 1,744,000 per week, and the weekly cost of the engravings is about $3,000; making a total annual circulation of 90,688,000 copies, and spending 150,009 a year for engravings.— Seientific American: TuE Hoe presses built in England for the London TZimes do not give satisfaction.— Such was the exclusiveness and self-sufficiency of the English Builders, that they would not allow a mechanic sent by Mr. Hoe to assist in building them, to enter their works, but kept him in London until some mechani¢al blunder made his advice necessary. The presses could have been built in New York in six months; the English meclianics were two years about them, and now tliey are pronounced a failure. A woman at a certain village in England, went for arsenic with which to poison her husband, but the apothecary gave her soda and informed her husband. The latter took the poison and pretended to sicken and die, and when she supposed him fairly dead, the wife put a rope about his neck and undertook to make it appear that he had hung himself. He could not’ stand that, and came to and used the rope togive her a right . down good hiding. SRRSER RNS Gries ae Me Accorpine to the “Asiatic Researches,” a very curious mode of trying titles to land is practiced in Hindostan. Two holes are dug in the disputed spot, in each of which the Jawyers on either side put one of their legs, and remain there until one of them is tired, or complains of being stung by the insects, in which case his client is-defeated. In this country it is generally the olient, and not the lawyer, “who puts his foot in it.” Tue National Era says it is not for the generation among whom Elizabeth BrownBY L. P. WELLS, The miners hied with anxious fears To test the gravel found ; Their litt e all—the toil of years Was vested in the ground. And as they gazed each hardy man Bewailed hia falling stock; No prospect in the trial pau— No color on the reck. Yet still their drooping hopes to save Evch to the other said— “Cheer up.and work awzy my brave, We'll find it ‘just alkead/ 7 And thus within the darkest hour, When friendshfp’s voice is dumb, Hope gives the sinking soul a power To feast on joys to come. No earthly joys are half so grand, No present scenes so fair, No brain-created fairy-land And castles in the air. Our highest bliss with rapture rife Is that by fancy fed, Our dearest happiness in life Is always “just ahead! ” Trinity Journal, NOBODY CAN HAVE SEEN IT. FROM THE GERMAN OF 0. F. GRUPPE. Fast down the staircase swinging, With flying feet IL passed ; Quick up the staircase springing, He came, and caught me tast ; And the stars are dark and dima, Many a kiss I had from him,— And nobody can fave seen it. Down into the hall demurcly— The guests were assembled there, My cliecks flushed het, and surely My lips did their tale declare. I thought they looked at me, every one, And saw what we together had done,— ¥et nobody could have seen it. The garden its sweets displaying, Beckoned me out of doors; The welcome call obeying, I hastened to look at the flowers,— There blushed the roses all around, There sang the birds with merry sound As if they all had seen it. Exrent oF THE FinmMaMeNtT.—Yarious estimates have been hazarded on the number of stars throvghout the whole heavens visible to us by the aid of first-class telescopes. M. Struve assumes for Herschel’s 20 feet reflector, that a magnifying power of 180 would give 5,800,000 for the number of stars lying within the zones extended thirty degrees on either side of the equator, and 20,374,000 for the whole heavens. The number of telescopic stars in the milky way, uninterrupted by any nebule, is estimated at 18,000,000. To compare this number to something analagous, Humboldt calls attention te the fact, that there are not in the whole heavens niore than about 8,000 stars, between the first and the sixth magnitudes, visible to the naked eye. Thus, the barren astonishment excited by numbers and dimensions in space, when not considered with reference to applications engaging the mental and_ perceptive powers of man, is awakened in both extremes of the Universe, in the celestial bodies as in the minutest animalcules; for, according to Ehremberg, a cubie inch of the polishing slate of Bilin, contains 40,000 millions of the silecious shells Galionelle. The assumption that the extert of the starry firmament is literally infinite has been made by Dr. Olbers the basis of « conclusion that the celestial spaces are in some slight degree deficient in transparency, so that all beyond a certain distance is and must forever remain unseen, the geometrical progression of the extinction of light far outrunning the effect of any conceivable increase in the power of our telescopes. Were it not so, it is argued that every part of the eclestial concave ought to shine with the brightness of the solar disc, since no visual ray could be so directed as not, in some point or other of its infinite length, to encounter such a dise.—N. Y. Century. Syow ix THE Movuntains.— History, and sketches of travels, have made us familiar wth the snowy glaciers of Italy and Switzerland, and while at the same time, in summer season, the mountain tops would glitter like burnished silver in the sunlight, the charming valleys formed at their base, mellowed by the warmth of a congenial atmosphere, would be blooming with flowers, and yielding its richly clustering grapes for the vintage. Toa less degree, the same may be said of California. In Yreka, thongh the season has been less agreeable and. pleasant than usual, we are at the present time surrounded with mountains capped in snow, while flowers are blooming in profusion in the valleys beneath. With the fail season, however, the snow will disappear, except on Mt. Shasta, where it is perpetual.—Siskiyou Chronicle. Cuancep.—The Boston Post, in comparing the times of ‘49 and ‘59 in California says: “Thiags haye changed in California. The artificial has given place to the natural; a quiet, sober prosperity distinguishes the State. It is progressing in everything; it is drawing now upon its own resources—a sure source of wealth. It has order, churches and newspapers, and is altogether a reformed rake. Its wild oats haye yielded a good harvest of experience, at least, and every month it improves in decorum and’ welldoing.” THE Gleaner, in replying to the question of “what is modern Judaism doing?” says: “We cannot account totally for the reason; but it seems that the institutions of Judaism, on one side, never degenerate into the extravagance of celibacy and monasticism, nor, on the other, into Sicklesism or Tatism, nor Billmanism or confessional Bagiolism.” Arter all, the language will shape itself by larger forces than phonography and dictionary making. You may spade up the ocean as much as you like, and harrow it afterwards, if you can—but the moon will still lead the tides, and the winds will form their surface:-—0O. W. Ifolmes: ImperraL Leas.—The observing editor of Le Phare says, that from his own eyes he has been convinced that Napoleon three times is bow-legged, and he intimates that in order to conceal this natural or acquired deformity, His Majesty only appears in public on horse-back or in a carriage. Ir is expected that the trial trip of the Great Eastern steamship will take place in July. She will sail from Portsmouth, England, to the middle of the ocean and back again, to test her qualities under all possible conditions of sail and steam.

Tue Reiiciovs Foot.—The man who hears a good sermon, but who, because some pas. sage in it does not suit him, or some mannerism of the preacher offends him, gets mad, denounces the whole, and is determined to be unprofited. Tse aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think —rather to improve our minds so as to make us think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men. A Genmay naturalist has described six hundred species of flies, which he has collected within a district of ten miles. Thirty thoussand different kinds of insects which prey upon wheat, have been collected.

ch . Fiydraulic Bress. i To tHe Gints.—Read what a practical . philosopher says in the Napa Reporter: . . “Ladies—caged birds of beautiful plumage, but sickly looks—pale pets of the par. lor, who vegetate in an unhealthy atmos. phere like the potato germinating in a dark . cellar, why do you not go out into the open . air and warm sunshine and add lustre to . your eyes, bloom to your cheeks, elasticity ; to your steps, and vigor to your frames?— . Take early morning exercise, let loose your . corset strings, and run up the hills on a wager, and down again for fun; roam in the field, climb the fences, leap the ditches, wade the brooks, and, after a day of exhilirating . exercise and unrestrained liberty, go home . with an appetite acquired by healthy enjoy. ment. The blooming and beautiful young lady— . rosy-cheeked and bright-eyed—who can . darn a stocking, mend her own frocks, command a reginient of pots and kettles, feed the pigs, milk the cows, and be a lady when required, is the girl that young men are in quest of for wife. But your pining, lolling, screwed-up, wasp-waisted, doll-dressed, consumption mortgaged, music-murdering, and novel-devouring daughters of fashion and idleness—you are no more fit for matrimony than a pullet is to look after a brood of fourteen chickens. The truth is, my dear girls, you want less fashionable restraint, and more: liberty of action. More kitchen and less parlor; more leg exercise and Tess sofa; more pudding and less piano; more frankness and less mock-modesty, more corned beef and less bishop. Loosen your waist-strings, and breathe in the pure atmosphere, and become something as good and beautiful as nature designed.” Quartz Minxrxc ty orp Eeypr.— Mining for gold in auriferous quartz veins was prosecuted extensively in Egypt as early as 2500 years ago—perhaps much earlier. Fifty years before the time of Christ there was a picture in one of the temples in Thebes, of an Egyptian Monarch making a present to the Gods of all the gold and silver which he received in one year from his mines; and the amount as near as we can now arrive at it, was about $30,000,000. The historian Diodorus Siculus, who mentions this picture, adds, as translated in Jacobs on the precious metals: “On the confines of Egypt and the neighboring countries, there are parts full of gold mines, from whence, with the cost and pains of many laborers, much gold is dug. The soil is naturally black, but in the body of the earth there are many veins, shining with white marble, (quartz,) and glittering with all sorts of bright metals, out ef which those appointed to be overseers cause the gold to be dug by the labor of a vast multitude of people. For the Kings of Egypt condemn to these mines not only notoriouscriminals, captives taken in war, persons falsely accused, and those with whom the King is offended, but all their kindred and relations. These are sent to this work either as a punishment, or that the profit and gain of the King may be increased by their labors.”—Alta. GERRYMANDERING.—We clip the following from Hittel’s ‘Variations of the English Language,” now being published in the Alta: “Grerrymander, (g pronounced hard and accent on the penultimate,) is an Americanism to designate such a method of arranging election districts, as will give the party making the arrangements a greater number of representatives than they would be entitled to on a fair system of districting, and more than they should have in proportion to their votes cast. Thus each Congressional District must have 90,000 inhabitants, and to obtain that number three or four counties may have to be united., The ordinary strength of each party in every county is well known, and the dominant party in the State Legislature, if dishonest, may unite the strong opposition counties into as few districts as possible, casting very large opposition majorities, while the dominant party shall have more districts with smaller majorities and perhaps a much smaller popular vote. The word “Gerrymander” was derived from Eldridge Gerry, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, who was accitsed of having been the first to practice this species of fraud on the rights of the people.” Newsrapers.—There are published in New York city 18 daily papers—4 in the German, 1 in the French, 1 in the Italian, and 12 in the English language. There are also 37 monthly and semi-monthly, 8 semi-weekly, and 105 weekly papers. There are ten illustrated papers published in London every week, whose aggreate circulation is 1,744,000 per week, and the weekly cost of the engravings is about $3,000; making a total annual circulation of 90,688,000 copies, and spending 150,009 a year for engravings.— Seientific American: TuE Hoe presses built in England for the London TZimes do not give satisfaction.— Such was the exclusiveness and self-sufficiency of the English Builders, that they would not allow a mechanic sent by Mr. Hoe to assist in building them, to enter their works, but kept him in London until some mechani¢al blunder made his advice necessary. The presses could have been built in New York in six months; the English meclianics were two years about them, and now tliey are pronounced a failure. A woman at a certain village in England, went for arsenic with which to poison her husband, but the apothecary gave her soda and informed her husband. The latter took the poison and pretended to sicken and die, and when she supposed him fairly dead, the wife put a rope about his neck and undertook to make it appear that he had hung himself. He could not’ stand that, and came to and used the rope togive her a right . down good hiding. SRRSER RNS Gries ae Me Accorpine to the “Asiatic Researches,” a very curious mode of trying titles to land is practiced in Hindostan. Two holes are dug in the disputed spot, in each of which the Jawyers on either side put one of their legs, and remain there until one of them is tired, or complains of being stung by the insects, in which case his client is-defeated. In this country it is generally the olient, and not the lawyer, “who puts his foot in it.” Tue National Era says it is not for the generation among whom Elizabeth BrownBY L. P. WELLS, The miners hied with anxious fears To test the gravel found ; Their litt e all—the toil of years Was vested in the ground.

Yet still their drooping hopes to save Evch to the other said— “Cheer up.and work awzy my brave, We'll find it ‘just alkead/ 7 And thus within the darkest hour, When friendshfp’s voice is dumb, Hope gives the sinking soul a power To feast on joys to come. No earthly joys are half so grand, No present scenes so fair, No brain-created fairy-land And castles in the air. Our highest bliss with rapture rife Is that by fancy fed, Our dearest happiness in life Is always “just ahead! ” Trinity Journal, NOBODY CAN HAVE SEEN IT. FROM THE GERMAN OF 0. F. GRUPPE. Fast down the staircase swinging, With flying feet IL passed ; Quick up the staircase springing, He came, and caught me tast ; And the stars are dark and dima, Many a kiss I had from him,— And nobody can fave seen it.

I thought they looked at me, every one, And saw what we together had done,— ¥et nobody could have seen it. The garden its sweets displaying, Beckoned me out of doors; The welcome call obeying, I hastened to look at the flowers,— There blushed the roses all around, There sang the birds with merry sound As if they all had seen it. Exrent oF THE FinmMaMeNtT.—Yarious estimates have been hazarded on the number of stars throvghout the whole heavens visible to us by the aid of first-class telescopes. M. Struve assumes for Herschel’s 20 feet reflector, that a magnifying power of 180 would give 5,800,000 for the number of stars lying within the zones extended thirty degrees on either side of the equator, and 20,374,000 for the whole heavens. The number of telescopic stars in the milky way, uninterrupted by any nebule, is estimated at 18,000,000. To compare this number to something analagous, Humboldt calls attention te the fact, that there are not in the whole heavens niore than about 8,000 stars, between the first and the sixth magnitudes, visible to the naked eye. Thus, the barren astonishment excited by numbers and dimensions in space, when not considered with reference to applications engaging the mental and_ perceptive powers of man, is awakened in both extremes of the Universe, in the celestial bodies as in the minutest animalcules; for, according to Ehremberg, a cubie inch of the polishing slate of Bilin, contains 40,000 millions of the silecious shells Galionelle. The assumption that the extert of the starry firmament is literally infinite has been made by Dr. Olbers the basis of « conclusion that the celestial spaces are in some slight degree deficient in transparency, so that all beyond a certain distance is and must forever remain unseen, the geometrical progression of the extinction of light far outrunning the effect of any conceivable increase in the power of our telescopes. Were it not so, it is argued that every part of the eclestial concave ought to shine with the brightness of the solar disc, since no visual ray could be so directed as not, in some point or other of its infinite length, to encounter such a dise.—N. Y. Century. Syow ix THE Movuntains.— History, and sketches of travels, have made us familiar wth the snowy glaciers of Italy and Switzerland, and while at the same time, in summer season, the mountain tops would glitter like burnished silver in the sunlight, the charming valleys formed at their base, mellowed by the warmth of a congenial atmosphere, would be blooming with flowers, and yielding its richly clustering grapes for the vintage. Toa less degree, the same may be said of California. In Yreka, thongh the season has been less agreeable and. pleasant than usual, we are at the present time surrounded with mountains capped in snow, while flowers are blooming in profusion in the valleys beneath. With the fail season, however, the snow will disappear, except on Mt. Shasta, where it is perpetual.—Siskiyou Chronicle. Cuancep.—The Boston Post, in comparing the times of ‘49 and ‘59 in California says: “Thiags haye changed in California. The artificial has given place to the natural; a quiet, sober prosperity distinguishes the State. It is progressing in everything; it is drawing now upon its own resources—a sure source of wealth. It has order, churches and newspapers, and is altogether a reformed rake. Its wild oats haye yielded a good harvest of experience, at least, and every month it improves in decorum and’ welldoing.” THE Gleaner, in replying to the question of “what is modern Judaism doing?” says: “We cannot account totally for the reason; but it seems that the institutions of Judaism, on one side, never degenerate into the extravagance of celibacy and monasticism, nor, on the other, into Sicklesism or Tatism, nor Billmanism or confessional Bagiolism.” Arter all, the language will shape itself by larger forces than phonography and dictionary making. You may spade up the ocean as much as you like, and harrow it afterwards, if you can—but the moon will still lead the tides, and the winds will form their surface:-—0O. W. Ifolmes: ImperraL Leas.—The observing editor of Le Phare says, that from his own eyes he has been convinced that Napoleon three times is bow-legged, and he intimates that in order to conceal this natural or acquired deformity, His Majesty only appears in public on horse-back or in a carriage. Ir is expected that the trial trip of the Great Eastern steamship will take place in July. She will sail from Portsmouth, England, to the middle of the ocean and back again, to test her qualities under all possible conditions of sail and steam.

Tse aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think —rather to improve our minds so as to make us think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men. A Genmay naturalist has described six hundred species of flies, which he has collected within a district of ten miles. Thirty thoussand different kinds of insects which prey upon wheat, have been collected.
