A QURER HEAD DREsa

LYNCH in his expedition to the Dead Sea,
thus describes queer head dress, which the
women about Bleyrout wear.
"The most striking peculiarly Of dress we
" saw, was the tautur or horn, worn mostly
"by the wives of mountaineers II was from
" fourteen inches to two feet long, three or
four inches wide at the base, and about
one inch at the top. II is made Of tin,
silver or gold, according to the circum-
stances Of the wearer, and it is sometimes
studded with precious stones. From the
"summit depends veil, which falls upon
I" the breast, and, at will, conceas the fea-
lures. 1t is frequently drawn aside, suffi-
" GENTLY to leave one eye exposed. 1t is
worn only by married women, or by UNI
+" married ones Of the highest rank, and once
" assumed it is worn for life. Although the
temple may throb and the brain be racked
"with fever, it cannot be laid aside. Put
+" on with the bridal-robe, it does not give
place to the shroud. 1t is sup
posed TO have some reference to the words,

THE DEAD SEA.

Lieut.. LYNCH thus sums up his labors on
the Dead Sea:
mid the relative density Of the water o
/" this sea and Of the Atlantic-the latter
from 90 degrees north latitude and 30 de-
grees west longitude, distilled water being
:" as one. The water Of the Atlantic was
!" .02, and.cf the sea 1.13. The last dis
!" solved one-eleyenth the water of the At
C lantic one-six, and distilled water FIVE
seventeenths Of its weight Of salt The
salt used was little damp. On leaving
" the Jordan, we carefully noted the draught
Of the boats. With the same loads, they
drew one inch less water when aHoat upon
this sea than 10 the river.
The bottom Of this sea consists Of two sub
(" merged plains, an elevated and depressed
one the last averaging thirteen, the for
!" mer thirteen hundred feet below the sur
" face, through the northern and largest and
+" deepest one, in line corresponding with
7" the bed Of the Jordan, is a ravine which
:" again seems to correspond with the Wady
:" Ell Jeib, or ravine within ravine, at the
:" south end Of the sea. Between the ia
I" box and this sea, we unexpectedly found
I" sudden breakdown in the bed Of Jor-
dan. II there be similar break in the
F" water courses to the south Of the sea, ac-
6 companied with like volcanic characters,

(" Ghor has sunk from some extraordinary
+" convulsion, preceded most probably by an
9 eruption Of fire and a general conAagration
6 Of the bitumen, which abounded in the
"plain. shall ever regret that we were
6 not authorized to explore the southern
Ghor to the Red Sea. All our observa-
/" tons have impressed me forcibly with the
F" conviction that the mountains are older
than the sea- Upon ourselves,

" taken, we are unanimous in the truth Of

Alleged Discovery OF another California.
The London Times, in Its city article, contains
the following announcement Of golden discovery
which, If true, threatens to rival the luck Of brother
Jonathan:
1.-THE good people Of Port Philip have all gone de-
mented on the subject Of gold seeking First an ac-
count was started of gold mines in California,
where Il could be dug like sand upon the sea shore
whereupon four or five vessels departed, crowded
with passengers, from Sydney, and like number
from Hobart Town. Meetings for similar pur-
pose were held ut Melbourne, and plans were being
matured for emigration to California, when the tide
was turned land mems heads along with it) by the
reported discovery of gold nearer home lat the Py-
rennees, l20 miles to The westward) All sorts Of
stories are afoat; but one thing Is certain that
gold ore, IN large masses, has found it's way into
Melbourne. There are many reasons for doubling
the report and as. many for believing them; at any
rate, the town has grown mad tradcsmen, publ
and Sinners have shut up their places Of bust
ness, and gone TO seek for gold Carts, horses,
spades picks and hammers are all put in requsition,
and Melbourne is gone out of town. II is impossi-
BILE TO give any idea, upon paper Of the fermeni this
gold mania ismaking"

The Tr. de or the RIO Gr.nde.

We noticed few days since that Senior Lo Man.
chaca, the intelligent deputy Of Matamoras, and
President of the State Congress Of Tamauipas, had
offered proposition in that body, to petition the
General Government of Mexico, to enter into nego-
tations with our government in relation to the inn
provcment Of the navigation of the Rio Grande.
We are gatfed by this initiative step on the part Of
sister republic, toward making the friendly rea-
tons that now happily exist between the two coun-
tries, of mutual and practical benefit. Senior Man
chaca deserves the highest praise for his wise fore
thought and well directed patriotism. The naviga-
tion Of the Rio Grande may undoubtedly be made
the means Of greatly increasing the trade between
the two countries and of opening an extensive, so.
luxurious and fertile section of our own to the pro-
ductiye enterprise Of our fellow-citizens.
Mr.. John T. Hughes, resident of the Upper Rio
Grande, describes the fruitful valley of FL Paso In the
most glowing colors "This settlement" he saws
extendsfro the falls Of the Rio Grande on the north
TO the Preside on the SOUTH distance OF 20 miles,
and is one continuous orchard and vineyard embrace
ing In Its ample area industrious population Of at
least S000." 1t IL situated nearly midway between
Santa Fe and Chihuahua It's breadth Is about 10
miles. Its chief productions at present, are fruits
and wines, the latter amounting to 100000 gallons
annually. From this cultivated point on the river,
Mr.. Hughes recommends that canal should be
constructed TO the head-waers Of navigation, which
he says can be done with great facility and at a
moderate expense. The fertile valleys of the Puerco
and other tributary streams below are also said to
be highly productive and to offer great attractions
an industrious and enterprising people, The valley
OF the Lower Rio Grande Is described as being
adapted to the culture Of the sugar cane and cotton
and oranges, figs, olives and other tropical fruits
In rejecting the subject, we must bear In mind
that the valley Of Ell Paso Is nearly in the latitude Of
this city, and that the river flows thence In gen.
era south easterly direction TO the Gulf Of Mexico.
| Ifthe navigation Of this stream can be improved
80 that 1t will afford the cheapest and readest means
of communication with the popuous towns Of Chi
huahua, with its 10000 inhabitants, and valuable
mines, Durango, which is still more populous, Con
huila New Leon, etc., It must become one Of our
most important channels for American commerce,
and, as its trade would eventually concentrate here
essentially contribute to the prosperity and re-
sources OF our own cty-N o. Bulletin
