The lining and Sricutific Press, 47 Somermino Azoct Wixz.—The Champagne trials” in San Francisco have bronght ont the facts that the entire prodnet of genuine wine exceeds twelve trillions of bottles per annotin, of which more than tbree trillions sre sent to the United States. The amonnt shipped to Culifornia is reported by the ugent of the ‘Treasnry Departmeat ia France to be much greater thau that sent to any other loculity, consideriag the population of the State and the country tributury to it; and “it appears that tie uidervaluation of the srttcle was so great 11 1863 that in that year the Governineut was defranded of more than half a million of dollurs of duty, May is continnally saying to woman, Why will yon not be more wise? Woman is continnully saying to man, Why will you not be nore luving? It ig not in their wills to be wise or to be loving; but nnless exch is both wise and loving, there cap be neither wisdom ior love. Error.—The Culiioruia Christian Advocate says that Geueral Grant belongs to Culifornia. This is a great error. He belongs to the Union. At the Winchester (ing.) Sessions, fonr men were indicted for steuling beans, «A gentlemaa present asked another, ° What have they been doing 2” " Been stealing,” was the reply. Tr is easy to say, “ Know thyself,” but who is to ietroduce yon? Most people go throngh life without making the advantageons acqnaintauce in question. Tue French savans say, to obtain snfficient nonrishnient from oysters Blone a man must eat sixteen dozen per day.

For rapidly pulverizing and amalgantating ores, they have noequal. NoetYort hus been, or will be, spared to have thom construeted In the most perfect manner, and of the great number now in operstion, not one has ever reulred repairs. The constant and inercasing demand for them Is sufticlent evidence ot their merits. They are constructed so asto apply steam direetly into tho puip, or wlth steam bottoms, as deslred. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motion of the muller forces the pulp to the center, where It Ils drawa down through the ap erturo and between the grinding surtaces. Thetee It fs thrown to tho perlphery Into the quicksilycr. The curved plates again draw itto the center, whiere It pusscs down, and tothe clreumference as belore. Thus itis constantly assing in a regular flow between the erlnding surtaces and ive the quicksilver, until the ore ts redueed to an Impalpable powder, and the metal amalgamated. Sctlers made on tho same prinelpie excel all others.— They bring the pulp so constantly and perfectiy In contact with quicksilver, that the particles are rapidly and com pletely absorbed.

For rapidly pulverizing and amalgantating ores, they have noequal. NoetYort hus been, or will be, spared to have thom construeted In the most perfect manner, and of the great number now in operstion, not one has ever reulred repairs. The constant and inercasing demand for them Is sufticlent evidence ot their merits. They are constructed so asto apply steam direetly into tho puip, or wlth steam bottoms, as deslred. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motion of the muller forces the pulp to the center, where It Ils drawa down through the ap erturo and between the grinding surtaces. Thetee It fs thrown to tho perlphery Into the quicksilycr. The curved plates again draw itto the center, whiere It pusscs down, and tothe clreumference as belore. Thus itis constantly assing in a regular flow between the erlnding surtaces and ive the quicksilver, until the ore ts redueed to an Impalpable powder, and the metal amalgamated. Sctlers made on tho same prinelpie excel all others.— They bring the pulp so constantly and perfectiy In contact with quicksilver, that the particles are rapidly and com pletely absorbed.

This article was more fully meationed in the Press of April 15th, 1865. Sinee that time, however, Mr. Hendy has made 4 further improvemeut by attaching a rubber hose between the mouth-picee and the pipe, eaabliog the biower to change his position without disturbing the direetion or constant accuracy of the current on the object upon which it ls turned. The maim portioa of the blow-pipe is made with a joint, at which a valvo is placed, which is opened when the operator blows aad closed iminediatels when he ceases. By this arrangement the little bag or oladder 18 readily litled at asiugle breath, and with very little exertion. When so filled, a continous current of air is forced Irom tbo nozzle of the pipe by the mere con. tractive force of the gutta percha, This foree is uniform until the air is very nearly exhaused. The current may be easily varied er entirely eut off by gently pressing the fingers upon the neck of the bladder above the nipplu to which it is attached, 6 Price, Complete..........8 goeonans veccees OO, CALL AND EXAMINE SAMPLES, Seat hy mail, If desired, Address DEWEY & CO,, 16v10 tf No 605 Cloy street, San Francisco VotumeE Twebrm.—Tho Mining ann Screntiei¢ Press, with its last issue, commenced its twelfth volume.
