had peculiarly cozening kind of lingo, and who
thought maybe we wouldn't mind giving poor
old woman trihe. She was right in this; for we
would not mind it at all; but gentleman who was
near turned her off with sharp word We looked
at him in surprise, but he informed that the
old lady lived in her house, and had others for
rent, and was in all respects well to do. We will
take close observation of her the next time she
hovers near US, and try descriptive powers
thereafter for the public benefit; but, in the mean
time, we would put our readers on their guard, or
rather advise them to put guard their levies,
when assaied by the aforenamed thin, dark, glib
old lady, who will be very apt to approach them
with the remark, "Look al here honey, can't you
spare a poor old woman triie?" Do the police
know her?

rich Esq the father-in-law of Brother Hart leave
no doubt as to his death. He died about four
days after his arrival in California, of an inf1am

Once, and that too not long since, this science
was hidden beneath an almost mpenctrabe veil
of ignorance and error; confined to the dim re-
ceptacles of monks and the abratory of the al
chymist, the world was utterly ignorant of its
Importance, or the OBJECT its propagation would
produce.
Bound in chains, it struggled long for the
light, and few CLEANS stole forth, whose start
ling brlliancy only served to darken the gloom,
causing the most absurd and ridiculous theories
| to spring up like mushrooms over the whole of
Europe. Useful knowledge involved in the fogs
| of mysticism and error, came being con-
signed to oblivion, when the genius of New
ton unveiled the hidden things of Nature, and
the chrysalts Of Chemistry emerged to active
life. .r
Since that time new discoveries have been
heaped upon new, and developments of thrilling
interest are continually taking place. The Ig-
mis- Fatuus which SO long led this science wild
and chimerical dance over the Dogs of error, dis
appeared in its depths, and left the mass Of mind
free from it's baleful influence.
| A few simple principles were found sufficient
to explain all the changes matter is susceptible
Of, and few laws proved to hold dominion o.
yer natures empire. The exulting chemist soon
found his superiority over his predecessors; in
stead of calling every substance he saw by diff.
ferent name, he found they differed only in their
dissmilar combinations.
| The Atomic theory now gave an impetus to
almost every branch Of scnce. The Astrono-
mer no longer looked with terror upon the fla
ming comet travelling its fiery course with light
ming speed, although he was perfectly aware that
| contact, or even an approximation of thousands
| of miles, would prove fatal to u.s. .
For he knew that the same laws governed it,
that keeps our orb in it's path, and feared not
He looked not upon it as harbinger of war, OF
Pestilence, or famine, but one OF the particles
which make the great creation, and putting his
trust in the arm which marks the comet s course
and points it on its erratic way, he sumbers tran.
guilty, while above him it burns and bazes in the
sky.
! The Anatomist Psychologist, and Physician,
all derived innumerable advantages from it, and
remedies for diseases became almost revolution.

The dealer in gems and precious stones, found
out that he was only dealing in compound
rubbish. Stones whose dazzling brilliancy pain
ed the eye, were only combination Of the ba-
SEES Of alum, flint, stone, slick, lime and niagne-
sia, and some oxide Of iron, or manganese with
some Of the acids.
