in science. He is man by himself, and with
out a superior IN intellectual vgor and re-
sources. Although small man-born so long
ago as September a. l769-he is all anima-
ton, and his conversation of the most varied
and interesting character. His face is without
a wrinkle, his eyes are as sparkling as ever
and | saw him read without glasses This
shows that we were made to be exercised, and
those who are the most energetic, not only en-
joy the best health, but also have the longest
lease OF life Being never married, his entire
days have been actively devoted to scientific
pursuits lie gave me some account of his
travels in Equatorial America and Northern
Asia. Through him the gold regions Of the
Ural Mountains were discovered His obser-
vatons on the auriferous regions of California
were new and instructive He distinctly main
tains that the quantity of gold there is not as
large as represented. The yield has not been
equal to the Russian mines, and the value of
the metal will not be lessened by the California
discoveries. | do not feel at liberty to relate
as some might desire, the remarks of this ex-
traordinary philosopher Knowing had been
travelling in the East he made inquiries in re-
gard to countries visited and then adyerted to
his early adventures in Mexico. A gentleman
who has the honor of frequent intercourse with
him, says that second part of the Cosmos is
in preparation. So industriously employed is
this pride of Prussia, the favorite of the King

upon us during which there is much suffer-
ing from colds, the following means of cure
may not prove unacceptable. We submit it
to our readers, with the remark that it is sim
pie, costs nothing, and therefore may be tested
with impunity:
"Of all other means of curing colds, fast
ing is the most effectual. Let whoever has a
cold eat nothing for two days, and his cold
will be gone, provided he is not confined in
bed; because, by taking no carbon into the
system by food, but consuming the surplus
which caused his disease, by breathing he
soon carries off the disease by removing the
cause. This viii be found more effectual, if
he adds copious water drinking to protracted
fasting BY the time a person has tasted one
day and night, he will experience a freedom
from pain, and clearness Of mind, in delight
ful contrast with that mental stupor and
physical pain caused by colds. And how inf
nitely better is this method of breaking cold
than by medicine ~ +.

A MARKET FOR AMERICAN HoRsEs.-One Of
the effects Of the late war with Mexico has been
to give to her horsemen high opinion of the
value Of the American breed of horses. The New
Orleans "Picayune" noticed the fact that several
vessels have lately sailed from there for Vera
Cruz with cargoes of horses, and others are pre-
pairing to 20 forward The animals shipped are
generally Of the best Kentuckian or Western

tastes Of the Mexicans, who are extrayagant ad-
