The DEAD SEA AND THE SALT LAKE. Mr.. Ro-
bert Graves, M. D., has communicated to the Edin-
burgh Philosophical Journal very interesting article
on the causes why the waters of the Dead Sea are
destitute of fish and other marine animals. The Dead
Sea contains no living thing within its fatal bounda-
res yet this salt sea, famous in history, is sup
piled with water from reshwater rivers which abound
in fish and vegetables. The surface of the Dead Sea
is 1900 feet below the level of the Mediterranean,
is 1000 feet deep, 60 miles long and broad. 1t
ceves all the waters of the Sea of Galilee. cor
rect chart of the old lake never given to the
world until the expedition under Lieutenant Lynch
surveyed it. The full credit of this important fact is
given to our country by Mr.. Graves. 1t had been
stated by DR.. Robinson and Mr.. Warburton that the
shores of the Dead Sea were non-volcanic, but the
expedition brought home specimens of lava and SEQ
ria, thus refuting former accounts.
. There is another sea in the world Just like the
Dead Sea of Sodom: this is the Great Salt Lake Of
the Mormon country, discovered and explored by
Lieutenant Fremont. This lake contains no living
thing within its bosom, and it also receives the fresh
waters of Lake Utah.
The waters of the Dead Sea of Jordan contain twen-
tofour per cent. of saline matter consisting of chic
rides of potassium, sodium, calcium gDesium, iron
manganese, with bromide of magnesium. This sa-
lime impregation accounts for the absence of all
table and animal life. The of the great Amer-
can Salt Lake are nearly of the same composition,
and present similar phenomena that of the Sea of
Sodom.

HINTS TO PIANrsTs. Have your pianoforte tuned
at least four times year by experienced If
you allow it to 60 too long without tuning, it usually
becomes fiat. and troubles tuner get to stay at
concert pitch, especially in the country. Never place
the instrument against the outside wall, or in cold
damp room, particularly in a country house. There
is greater enemy to piano-torte than damp. Close
the instrument Immediately after you practice; by
leaving it open dust fixes the sound board, and
corrodes the movements; and if in damp room the
strings must rust. Should the pano-forte stand near

the sun is on the window, close the blinds. Avoid

more equal the temperature of the room and the less

CALIFORNIA. Mr.. Silas E. Burrows thus writes
from San Francisco to the New York Journal o.
Commerce:
"The recent State election has given the Demo
cratic party control of California, and the State will
be divided, in my opinion this winter the Southern
becoming a slave State. The value of our pos
sessions the Pacific is incidentally great, in the
march of greatness of noble nation and the at.
tachments of the Inhabitants to the ties they have
left at home, are strong l have ever known but
still their wishes and interests must be consulted
they will set up for themselves"
Mr.. Burrows, says the Charleston Mercury, is well
knownas wealthy New York merchant who, for
the love of has engaged in all of hair
Drained enterprises. The last heard of him before.
was that he was in whaling expedition beyond
Behring's Strait and in uncomfortable proximity to
the North Pole, where he and his conereres were in
close prospect of being turned into iccles. He had
his usual luck in getting out of the scrape, and has
since refreshed his love of novelty with study of
the land of gold He is I'VE suppose, a very impair
tal observer, and writes as above, in reference 10
subject we have before remarked upon. There ap-
pears doubt this matter of the division of Cafor
mia with reference to the formation of slave State
in the South, is serious, and that it will form the ba
sis of the next Congressional emeute.
We informed that letter has just been receiy-
ed from a native Virginian, a member of the
Legislature of California, which expresses the conf
dent opinion that the Legislature will, at its
sion, adopt resolution submitting to vote of the
people the question whether California will or will
not introduce the system of slavery. The same let
ter avows belief that the people of California will
decide in favor of the introduction of slavery,
most economical and useful for the working of the
mines, &c. Should the people of California agree to
the introduction of slavery, have no fear of Con-
gressonal excitement on the subject. With Dem
ocratic Congress. and 1--WE have doubD Demo-
cratic Administration, cannot believe that
strous proposition the exclusion of State be-
cause her people preferred slavery. can for one
ment succeed Should the event transpre, and should
the Northern majority refuse the admission of slave
State under the circumstances, the whole South will
be aroused to due of the outrage, and there
will be but opinion to the necessity of aban-
doning so burdensome and insulting confederacy.

ESTATES OF Rich MEN. John McDOnogh, Joseph
FO,vLer, Jr., and Cornelius Pau6ing. Last year was
sgnaized by the death of three OF the weaithlest cit
liens of New Orleans, who were remarkable LOT theF
cumulatinp money. They were John McDonoh,
Joseph Fowler, Jr., and Cornelius Paulding. Not
withstandng their neagre and unsocla MODE OF me-
these gentlemen lived to good old age. Ihern Ves
were passed without pleasure or enjoyment OF any
kind save the dry, unsubstantia and unsatisfactory
pleasure of laying up money, and the Ne" orleans
Delta thus relates the result
s.The three citizens referred to all accumulated
their property in New Orleans. Their lives Illus
trate the immense advantages enjoyed here TOR the
rapid accumulation of fortunes. They were, FOR the
greater part of their lives. engaged In no trade or
business, but their wealth was the natural accreuo
of originally small but judcious Investments. A
comparison of the values of the estates OF the tnree
NAV not be uninteresting to our readers.
The estate of John McDonogh, consisting chiefly
of landed property-whose prospective value, owing
to the Judgment displayed in its location is Immense
is at present appraised at ,949 Is. This
amount is greatly less than the estimate usually placed
upon Mr.. McDonogh's property. This exaggeration
was caused by the immense superficial extent OF his
property portions of which he did not calculate to be
subject to cultivation before fifty years.
If Mr.. McDonogh's estate was exaggerated, the re-
verse was the case in regard 10 that OF Mr.. Joseph
Fowler Jr., who had managed TO conceal his immense
possessions to such Degree that Tor several years
before his death he taxed at one half the amount
which his estate has had to pay since his property
was inventoried. Few persons valued his possess
sions at more than 100000; but Mr. Fowler had
not the pe.,chan of MIR. McDonogh for unproductive
landed property. He preferred good mortgage paper
bills receivable-merchanlable paper, ETC., and his
real estate, which is considerable, was of very val
liable and productive character.

personal effects CT MIR. Fowler, compared with his
other assets exhibit the wonderful contrast as
in the schedule Of John McDonogh. All his perso-
nal and movable efects-incudlng books, clothing,
pair of old pistols valued at 81, giyster pipe,
box of razors, sundry old trunks DESKS picture
representing two heads etc., amount to $24O, whilst
his bills receivable $780,, 692. Could we peep
into the circumstances of the makers OF these notes,
what prodigious contrast would be seen between
the value OF their moveableS and OF those OF their
principal creditors.
Mr.. Joseph Fowler was gentleman of great sa-
gacity and intelligence, and during his life known
do few kind and liberal acts to those he fan
cied, but parsimony was his dominant passion. He
believed that wealth could be rapidly accumula-
ted by economy than by successful speculation. One
of the witnesses in the administration OF his success
sion, Dr. Rushon, illustrates this regularity OF his
character, by saying that whilst Mr.. Fowler would
not go hundred yards to make 100000, he would
walk mile to save dime. Here is developed the
true of money-getting; TO cut down ones ex-
penses, and every penny, rather than embark In
doubtful ventures.
The commissions on Mr.. Fowler's estate, at % per
cent, amonnt TO the handsome sum OF S22,SOS 4O
to each of his executors Here is pretty fortune in
ITSELF One OF the executors is estlmable fellow
citizen Wilhemus Bogert, Esq.
Mr.. Cor nelius Paulding commenced life in this city
as jeweler. He iudicously invested his profits in
real estate. which advanced rapidly in value. Mr..
Paulding, though like Messrs. Fowler and McDon-
agh, bachelor, and very parsimonous in his habits,
not Indifferent as many persons imagined, to
the comforts of life. This may be from The fact
that at the time of his death, the furniture in the
house which he occupied alone, was valued at $4,-
4O6 r. Nor was his table unsupplied with substan-
aI viands, though he would be employed for hours,
in the market, driving hard bargains with the BUTCH
ers. The total value of Mr. Paulding's succession,
which consists chiefly of real estate, is $58O,O2O.
By the death of these three citizens the amount of
46O, during the past year, has been thrown in
to courts to be distributed The diffusion of this
amount, through legal costs, lawyers fees, executors
commissions. &C., may be of some advantage. The
estates of Fowler and Paulding present difficult
ties calculated to produce much litigation; but that
of McOonough affords an endless field of legal con-
trcversy, difficulty and COSTS
