The LADY PHYsICIAN.-Our readers
have already seen many accounts of the
young lady who recently received her
diploma as physician at the German
college, in the State of New York. The
ceremony took place on the 23d ult., and
is thus described by correspondent of a
Syracuse paper: "The exercises were
opened by President Hale, with prayer
and brief address. Next followed the
presentation Of the diplomas. AN eyes
were fixed in expectation. The young
men in groupes of three or four at time,
were upon the platform and receiving
the parchment. Seventeen were gradua-
ted Then was called Domino Black
WELL Miss B, ascended the stage. The
audience held their breath The Presi-
dent rose, and pronouncing the usual
Latin formula, delivered the diploma into
her hands Instead of turning away, she
stood moment, as if something remain
ed to be done, and then. i'll modest but
audible voice said-'x thank you, Sar.
1t shall be the effort Of my l1e. by Goas
helm, to shed honor on this diploma. =
The feelings of the audience could be
restrained no longer, and round OF ap-
plause testified their interest IN this no.

AN ANCIENT CALIFORNIA FEVER From
Prescott's History of the Conquest of Peru.
we learn that prices of all articles at
Cuzco, the ancient capitol of the lncas,
advanced as gold became cheap, precise
ly as in California at TINS time. lie says:
"The sudden influx of SO much wealth
among party of reckless Adventures,
little accustomed to the possession OF
money, had its natural effect For
tunes were lost or won IN day, sufficient
to render the proprietors independent for
life" "The effect of such surfeit OF
the precious metals was felt instantly on
prices. The most ordinary articles were
only to be had for exhorbiant prices. A
quire of paper sold for ten pesos de oro J,
IA pesos de ORC being then about $1l 81
in value,( a bottle of wine for sixteen
pesos, sword 40 or so, a cloak for 90.
A PAIR of shoes cost 80 or 40 pesos. EU-
ery article rose IN value as gold and ST.
ger, the ep'esentataves Of oU, declined.
Gold and silver, in short, seemed to be
the only things in Cuzco that were not
wealth.

CorroN I'VE noticed in our last review, sales
during the early art Of the week 10 the extent o.
&c, 500 bales, the market closing at rather better
prices than last weeks quotations. but not so iu'
as had been realized on Monday. The business
that has transpired since, indicates no material
change but factors have met the demand freely,
and if any thing, buyers have had the advantage.
We make no change. however, in our quotations.
excepting in the inside figure for MiddIing' cor
responding to what is sometime classrd Low Md,
ding, which we reduce &c. The market would
have no doubt exhibited more frmness, had 1t not
been for the continued depression OF Exchange
and the scarcity of vessels and consequent str'n-
gent pretensions of shipmasters. The sales OF the
three days embrace 1880 Dales, $3.50 of which
were sold Oh Wednesday, 450O on Thursday, and
5000 yesterday, making an aggregate Tor the
week OF 46 ,25O bales. The demand continues to
be principally for Great Britain, but buyers ior the
Contine mt and the North have operated to con-
siderable extent.
We now quote as follows:

A memorial has been presented to the
u. S. Senate by Hubbell and Shelburne
asking aid of the General Governments to
assist them to establish telegraphic COM
munication with Europe. These gentle
men fully believe in the practicability of
the enterprise. They say that there is
reason to suppose a submarine bank of
table-land extends from the Newfound-
land to the capes of the British channel,
and they ask all appropriation and the
use of public vessel, with the necessary
appurtenances, for testing the correctness
of this theory. They intimate, if they
can get soundiugs, that they have only
to anchor buoys for stations, at ten miles
apart, and to support the wires between
in cork tubes. And even if they do not
find soundings~ and they should not suc-
ceed in that, they could siM manage to
anchor the buoys by means of buckets.
&c. The distance between the nearest
points of land, they say, is only nineteen
hundred miles.-Lo~. Jom. J

The RECEPTION OF THE Ex-PREsIDEN
The reception yesterday of MIR. Polk, the
ex-President of the United States. was OF
character alike honorable to his late
distinguished position, as the Chief Ma
gistrate of the country. and to the dignity
of the great commercial city of the South,
and as such, is a subject of just pride to
every one who is true lover OF our
glorious confederation. Without any dis
mnction of party, the whole city turned
out to do honor 70 one who having been
the first servant of the people, demanded
as such, generous and cordial welcome
at the hands of that body who conferred
upon him the privilege OF serving 1t. At
a very early hour in the morning. large
concourse Of citizens assembled at the
Lake end of the Pontchaftraih Railroad,
where the ex-President was received and
entertained for short time, and lmme-
diately afterwards the party proceeded to
the city. They We're met at the depot
on Elysian Fields street, by the military,
firemen and veterans, and escorted to the
Place d'Armes, where our distinguished
guest was received in very elegant and
cordial manner by His Honor Mayor
Crossman, who welcomed him in appro-
pirate terms as the guest of the city
From this point, the cortege marched
through the principal streets of the differ
ent Municipalities, and returned to the
St. Louis Hotel, at which, apartments
had been taken for Mr.. Polk and his
family. Here he received calls from
hundreds of our citizens, who all seemed
anxious to pay their respect to him. He
leaves in few days for his home in Nash.
Vile, where he will without any doubt,
enjoy the peace and domestic quiet which
for four long years he has been deprived
o.. In every particular, the whole affair
went off in very pleasant manner. and
must have been gratifying i'll a high de-
gree to all concerned.-NeW Orleans

A FOLDING HoUsE.-We have heard
tell of folding doors and folding windows,
but a folding house is something of nov
city.
Day, the New York India-rubber
dealer, has got up portable house and
boat for gold finders. Among the pecu-
liar advantages of this invention for trav-
ellers in California, is the facility with
which boat of nine feet long 10y six feet
wide, can be converted into house OF
eight hundred and eleven feet, sufficiently
high to allow persons to stand upright
The mere disconnecting of the sheet OF
rubber cloth from the cylinders. turns the
boat into a comfortable house. The
whole weight of one of them is only sew
enty pounds-and can be packed away
jim an ordinary trunk. Day says, should
the traveller be detained in Panama, with
large boat of this kind, which can be
so arranged as to sail, party may embark
upon the gentle Pacific, and by coasting
along the shore, reach the valley of the
Sacramento. and even penetrate to the
gold region itself
Only think Of it now-folding your
house up and slowing it away in your
trunk; and again converting it into a
yacht, and coasting along the Pacific

SENATOR CHAsE.-To show what sort
of politician the Locofocos of Ohio have
sent to the U. S. Senate, we publish the
following resolution offered by Mr.. Chase
in person at the abolition convention at
Columbus in 1843:
Resolved, That we hereby give it to
be distinctly understood, by this nation
and the world, that, as abolitlonists, con-
sidering that the strength of our cause
lies in its righteousness, and our hopes
for it in our conformity to the laws of
God, and our support for the rights of
man, we owe to the sovereign ruler Of
the universe, as proof of our allegiance
TO him, in all our civil relations and Off.

part of the Constitution of the United
States, whenever we are called upon to

THE Mormon TEMPLE.-By letter re-
ceived from our brother, +. w. Cook,
who was one that left Council Bluff last
snr;no for the Salt Lake, dated August I'd,
,ur;tten while encamped on the Sweet
Water river, at the South Pass. Tin sight
of Fremont's Peak,) we gather some in
forma,;on which may not be uninteresting
+oonr readers. The new Mormon Temple
.t,be Salt Lake is to be splendid build
;np They enclosed lot II miles long
Ind 12 miles wide, with mud wall 8
Cot biph and feet thick There are to
no four cities inside. They have discov-
.ered mountain rock that resembles corne-
liam stone, which the writer is beau-
tiful for temples and pillars.
The size of the temple is not stated
Int its highest point is to be 600 feet, and
can be seen eighty miles either way
The party that went out last season lost
many of their oxen, having died wlth
what they called the "swell head. -
MANY of the streams which they crossed
were so strongly impregnated with alkah
that thev dare not let their cattle drink
On the shores OF many of the lakes crust
is formed an inch and half thick, scrape
off the dirt on the bottom and top, and
find it pure saleratus. Strange as this
NAV seem, it is nevertheless true, and the
writer collected in short time 70 ponnds.
A mountain of pure rock salt has been
discovered near the Mormon settlement.
The Mormons have discovered a rich
gold mine $50 miles southwest from the
Salt Lake The last end of the journey
to the Salt Lake, say 200 miles, is attended
with little fatigue. Nearly all the way
the roads are as good as any prairie in
Michigan. The writer was living on the
meat of bears, antelopes and bufaloes-
animals very numerous on the route He
recommends mule teams instead of oxen,
and that cows be driven along for their
milk, and tor beef, if necessary.

BoMBARDMENT BY MEANS OF Balloons.
The Presse of Vienna has the following
"Venice is to be bombarded by balloons,
as the lagunes prevent the approach of
artillery. Five balloons, each twenty
three feet in diameter, are in construction
at Treviso.
"In favorable wind the balloons will
be launched and directed as near to
Venice as possible, and, on their being
brought to a vertical position over the
town, the fire will be communicated by
electro magnetism. Each of the five
bombs affixed to the balloon is in COM
munication by means Of long isolated
copper wire with large galvanic battery
placed on the shore. The fusee is ignited
by connecting the wire. The bomb falls
perpendicnIarIy, and explodes OH reach
ing the ground. BY this means, twenty
FIVE bombs day may be thrown, suppos-
ing the wind to be favorable. An expert

The MILLER MuRDER.-It begins to
appear, and very appallingly, that the
Mrs. Miller and three children who were
burned in the house, near Hampstead,
L. L.. were previously murdered by Mil
Ter, the husband and father! We find
the following with regard to the proper
ty, which must have been the only mo-
tive for the deed:
The farm of Jonathan Miller is very
prettily situated, about three miles this
side of Hempstead, some three quarters
of mile south from the turnpike, con-
ssting of one hundred acres, i'll very good
cultivation. This farm, it seems was
the property of his wife's father, who, at
his DEATH wiIled it to his son and daugh-
ter; the son died year or so ago, but
before he died he willed his share to Mrs.
Miler's children, and now, by the exter-
mination of the mother and three chill
dren, Mr. Miller has become the sole
proprietor. Mr.. Miller was insured for
500, which, it is said, will cover the loss
of the house, but where is the wife and
children? Who is the murderer!
