Death Of Gen. Il. b Mason.-We
regret TO announce to our readers, the
death of Gen. r. B. Mason, U. s. A.
He died yesterday at Jefferson Bar
racks, of cholera. II will be remem
bered that Gen. Mason succeeded Gen.
Kearney as Governor of California, the
duties Of which post he discharged in
the most satisfactory manner. He en-.
joyed high reputation in the army, as
q brave, generous and intelligent officer,
and as just and honorable gentlemen.
We understand that occasional cases of
cholera have occurred at the Barracks
amongst the troops recently arrived
there; and it is probably that in this way
this distinguished officer has fallen a

COLUMBUs's OWN SHIP
JOURNAL.

Columqus has left US some charming dcscrip-
tions of his own discoveries Though it is only
recently that we have oblaiIed the knowledge
of his own ships journal, of his letters to the
Treasurer Sanches, to Donna Iuana de la Tore,
Governess of the infant Dpn Juan, and to
Queen Isabella.
IIumbot has sought to shog with how deep 9
leellng aud perception of We forms and the
beauty Of nature the great discoyerer was en-
dowed, and how he described the face Of the
earth, and the new heaven which was opened to
his view, with beauty and SIMPLICITY of express
sion which can only be appreciated by those
who are familiar with the andebt force of tho
language itself.
The aspect and the Physo9nomy of The vege-
tation, the impenetrable thicIsts of the forest,
in which one can hardly distflguish which are
the flowers and leaves belonging to each stem,
the wild ldxuriance which cpfhed the humid
sh 'res-the rose coored fanahgoes fishing at
the mouth Of the rivers in tue lafly morning and
giving animation to the landaeape, attract the
attention of the old nayigabr while sailing
along the coast of Cuba, between the small I'm.
cayan islands and the Jardinihos Each newly
discovered land appears to him more beautiful
than those which he had before described-he
complains that he cannot find words in which to
record the sweet impressions1whic he has re.
ceived.
"Ihe loveliness Of this nj aad far surpass.
es that of the Campina de Cordoba. The trees
are all bright with ever We rdant foliage, and per-
petualy laden with fruits. The plants on the
ground are tall and fnll of blossoms The bree-
zes are mild like those in April in Castlle-,the

Once came into deeply enclosed harbor and

HYDRoPHoBIA.

In memoir of a learned professor is found
recorded strange case of imaginary hydropho.
bia. A Lucchese peasant shooting sparrows,
saw his dog attacked by a strange and ferocious
mastif. He tried to separate the animals, and
received bite from his own dog, which instant
ly ran off through the fields. The wound was
healed in few days, and the dog was not found !;
and the peasant, alter some time, began to feel
symptoms of a nervous agitation. He conceiv-
ed that the dog, from disappearing, was mad !;
and within day or two after this idea struck
him, he began to feel symptoms OF hydrophobia.
They grew hourly more violent; he raved, and
had all the evidence of this most violent distem.
per. As he LAID with the door open, to let in
the last air he was to breathe, he heard
his dog bark. The animal ran up to his
bedside and frolicked about the room. 1t was
clear that he, at least, was in perfect health
The peasants mind was relieved Instantly he
got up with renewed strength, dressed himself,

SINGULAR EFFECTS OF INDT-
AN HEMP,

A correspondent of the Medical Times, thus
describes the physiological effects of the above
drug, which has just been introduced into
FraRce
FINDING the hemp so strong, the physician
alluded to in former part oil my letter resolved
upon trying it on the neighbors. He therefore,
betook himself, with about fifteen grains of the
extract, to cafe close by, to the habtues Of
which he was well known. Not lnore than
single grain was given to each. Some bolted
it like a bolus-others smoked 1t; one individ-
ual merely smeared about a quarter of grain
over his cigarette paper. About one grain was
dissolved in glass of Curacao, and this was
allotted to the master of the house. His two
young and handsome daughters were forbidden
to taste the drug but the physician had here
evidently forgotten his scrptural history. A
bout three quarters Of an hour passed quietly
over. and the curious were rapidly Iapsing into
incredulity, when short laugh, followed by an
awful and most piercing shrek, issued from an
inner apartment.
The youngest daughter, following traditional
example, had tasted of the forbidden object, and
was suddenly struck with deirium and hyste-
rial movements of a very alarming appearance.
Consciousness was only half obiterated, and
the mind seemed to make superhuman efforts to
escape the chain about to be thrown around it.
The shrleks were rapid, most violent, and of o
peculiar kind.
Tho girl felt conscious that sho was raying,
and earnestly cntreated all around her not to

Present State of the field of Wat
erloo.

A recent visit to the field of battle discloses
extensive chages. The plain is rapidly losing
its original character. Picton's tree has been
cut down by the ruthless farmer to whom the
ground on which it stood belong the forest
of Soignle has been so cut away that the out
line it presented at the time of the battle can no
longer be recognized, and the last vestiges Of
the wood are vanishing from tie face of the
earth.
1t appears that the King Of Holland, anx Gus
to turn his kinhdom into cash as quickly as he
could, sold the timber to the Bank of Belgium,
and the Bank, which has since failed, sold it in
lots 10 divers purchasers. The fate Of the for,
est therefore, was to be cut duwn--even the
Duke of Wellington, who had gift from the
King of thousand acres, sold his lot-so that
at the present moment little more remains than
lew clumps of white beech, like spectres haunt

A large establishment for the manufacture Of
beetroot sugar, casts its heavy shadow over the
spot where the last crash OF bayonets scattered
the dsordered retinue Of Napoleon. Cottages
have spruug up by The road side; the greater
part of the field is now industriously cultivated; !;
and small enclosures, filed with shrubs and
flowers, have displaced that tone Of desolation
which formerly gave such melancholy aspect
to the scene.
