From The Concrete of Lima to The alsi March


We find the following curious account OF a vast
deposile of gold, which is snd TO exist In the inte
rior Of Peru. Il Is published in III Comsrcio, OF
Lima In The paper Of the 3lst March last, in the
shape OF letter from one Of the passengers from
Valparaiso 10 Calao, on board the English steamer
on her last trip (NIarch,) and Is as follows:
take the opportunity Of communicating 70 you
the substance OF conversation WHICH passed be-
tween Gen. O'Brien and several OF his counlrymen
or board The last English packet on her voyage FROM
Valparaiso to Callao. Ii seems that Gen. O'Brien
sojourned, during several months Of the year 1929
residing a the principal, mines Of Contogo Soco
where he learnt from an old miner, Don Marcos Lis
boa that in the vicinity Of Paulcartambo, there were
some hills that were perfect masses Of gold, and
within twenty leagues Of the river Ninto Abajo
there were immense plains and washings Of gold,
without end--hat in the year 1851, the Portuguese
arrived there with over hundred laborers but ihui
in short time upwards Of one thousand Indians
assembled, and massacred every one Of them In one
night. Not one soul escaped. Gen. O'Brien did
mol fail 10 pay attention 10 this irform..tion and
solved TO eLter this territory by the way Of the val
ley Of Panrcafiambo in preference TO going through
Brazils, the distance by the latter route being so
great.
In tho year 1875 Cen o. f,rien made Two Jour.
neys The valley, and In 1885 prepared an expedi
lion well provided with oil those kinds Of goods
which are best calculated TO please savage Indians.
van m"e,eer and aner he Performed the J o se
ney, and returned 10 Cuzco In five months, and only
brought back handkerchief full Of sand, which was
wnshed at the mint OF CuZco II proved very rich.
The result Of his journey was published at that
lime in The cuzco papers, and he had private inter.
vtws with General fsanarra al which he offered TO
pay Of the national debt of Perm within three year
The country wasn't this inncture plunged into civil
war and on this account the enterpri2n was aban.
donsd, and General o Brien returned TO Europe.
As friend Of my country, il has appeared TO me
bui right That ahouh communicate this informu-
lion ioyou fnr publication, without Wishing at all To
offend the amor proprn Of General o Brien or pre-
jndce his interest in the slightest degree,
r. Ss--tieneral ORrien stated he could find
enough gold there in one week, oload one hundred
Taer of war.

That hair turns gray in single night.
In popular but able treatise on diseases
Of the skin (by Erasmus Wilson, ! this
subject is alluded to in the following terms :
/" Much less can give credit to the bleach
ing OF the hair in a single night or single
week. The first step in the change may
have been made in a single night, and on
that night week the whole Of the hairs ofthe
head may have become white at the roofs /;
this is perfectly possible, and the only rea-
sonable explanation Of the circumstance.
Thus we learn that Marie Antoineite be-
came gray in a short period, as did the IN
fortunate Mary Queen Of Scots" He al
ludes to the passage in the "Prisoner Of
Chillon, showing that the error has the
weight Of poetica authority in its favor:

Ny hair is gray, though not with years,
Nor grew Il white
In u single night,
As mems have grown from sudden fears

After proceeding TO relate several anus
ing cases Of this reputed bleaching Of the
hair, he goes on 10 speak Of another COM
mon error with respect 10 the hair = " A
prevalent belief, strengthened by the opinion
Of several modern French writers on this
subject, IL, that the hairs grow after DEATH
II is true that they lengthen, but their
results from the contraction Of
the skin towards their roots, and not from the
continuance Of vital process after the death
