HENDY’S PATENT IMPROVED CONOENTRATOR,
We hero give tho first illustration of J. Hendy’s
latest patieru of improved concentrators. Its variation from his former plan eonsists in the manner
in whicl the body of the concentrator is supported,
doing away with tho apper frame-work and disearding the apparatus for raising the distributor, ns
the hoisting of the same is rendered useless by the
concentrator being self-discharging. The machine
hero represented is fastencd to and sapported hy
an apright stnndard andcrncath, which is held and
worked in a deep step. The motion is imparted
hy citber ono or two connecting rods, adjusted to
hall-crank pins. Tho engrnving itself well illustrates the new mnchine to the eyes of those familiar with tho working of this class of gold and salphuret savers, while thoso Icss-acquainted with their
operations are referred to the last pago of to-day’s
issne for further description and illastration.
Mr. Heudy‘s new coneentrator can ho seen in
working operation at the Union’ Foandry, in this
Giev ZAP!

city. Tbe inventor will continuo to snpply the
former style of machines to those who may prefer
them on account of their having been long and
successfully used. Two of the old pattern were
purchased during the past week for Arizona, by
Mcasrs. Reed & Tyson.
Tue ArLantic Cane.—Before the great
Atlantic cable bnd been in operation two
weeks, and although it was found to work ns
well as the most sauguine of its originators had
anticipated, it wns, nevertheless, found to be
totally inndequato to perform tho work required of it. So great was the demnond made
upon the managers, thnt it would soon have
been found necessary to greatly increase the
already high rate of tariff fixed, in order to put
a stop to the transmission of trivial messages
of no basiness importance, but which must,
nevertheless, take their turn to the exclusion
of more important matters, had not the broken
cable beeu fortnnately picked up and secured,
thus giving ag two wires, one of which will be
constantly occupied in transmitting messages
to Europe, while the other will be exclusively
devoted to return telegrams. The time is not
far distant when another pair of wires will be
found indispensable to transact the basiness
which must continue to increase, as does all
kinds of business, in proportion to the facilities
for transacting the-sanie.
=_
Fing Marore Worxr.—Our friends in the
country, as well as those in the city, in want of
good marble work, such as mantels, monuments,
tombs, plambers’ slahs, etc., will do well to call
on Mr. John Daniel, 408 Pine strect, where a largo
assortment of nll tbe above kinds of marble manufacture are kept constantly on hand. Individuals
calling upon him personally, or sending thcir orders
from a distance, can always rely apon having them
promptly and faithfully attended to. Mr. Daniel
is an old advortiser in the eolumns of tbis paper,
where his card may always be found.

Dr. Bornton’s Mepicine Crest, is put up
in San Francisco expressly fur tho use of fumilies,
and consists of a chest of nioderate dimensions,
hent in its appenrance, contuining thoso honschold
articles, simple remedies, that families always feol
like keeping on hand for immediate and common
use, and a book of bricf instructions, describing
their use, :
The object in preparing tlis Chest was not to
mako doctors, bat for the simple parpose of nursing; hence, on majority of the remedies nre such
as aro fumiliar to nearly all who are ndvanced in
life, and the book is simply a representation of
those pluin truths relnting to the department of
tho narse already sct forth in more oxtensive works.
It wns the object, not to say many things, bat to
say few things—to simplify and make ptain for
common ase. And in selecting the eontcnts of
the Chest, the object was not to set forth something new and wonderfal, bat those of old and acknowledged worth.
In,vlew of tbo ahove Mets, physicians have every where
enconraged tha circulation of this chest In unmistakhle
terms. They recognize tho fact that fumllles do not, will
not, need not call on them on the ncenslon of every slight
dermugemout or lufrmity. They do nol and cannot deay
the fuct that such obligations of home care rest upon
heuds of families, ej
The bonk gives a description of ucarly every medicina
in the collection, their use, and their component parts, 80
that every person mny know whit he ia recelving into hia
stomach or applying to his person. This openuess and
fraiukness la regarded by the best practitioners, and all
considerate persous as justice, more than ywlivy, The unl
versal conviclion of the more thoughtful is, tbat that
which relates to our health and physical well helng in this
life should, ahove ail things, he known, aad not kept in the
darkness of secrecy.

submitit to the criticism of practicing physicians, snd

Sparsely settled country of home-nursing, and seelvg the
adaptahility of this cbest, physiclans in Sun Francisco, Sacramcnto, Stockton, Knight’s Landing, Cuchevillc, Marysville, Colusa, Oroville, Liacola, Folsom, and Auburn, have
given It their hearty sanction. Seting the neccesity on
this coast of people relying upon themselyes !n such matters, physiciaas in this Slate hava remarked: ‘ 1£} could
elioose hut oae for a family, I would every tlmo choose the
nurse jaslead of tbe physician.” If familics would gota
collection of simple remedies, with plain instructlons for
their usc, they would do away witb half the doctoring.’?
“All families should possess themselves of a collection of
common remedies, with plain lastructions for thelr use.’?
“T would ilko to soc the chest in every family’?—' it is a

expense might he saved by such home care,‘
