u Among the many eloquent,
beautiful and appropriate tributes to
the memory of Mr.. Webster, with
which tbs papers have teemed recent
ly, we have read few that equal the
speech of Mr. Eugene Caperly, in the
Supreme Court of California, sitting
at San Francisco on the Odd of No
vember. We extract the following
passage !
ct is not for such as Daniel Web.
gtcr to die and be no more. In that
solemn moment between time and cter-
nifty, when the soul of a man just about
to shake off its earthly trammels
pierces with new sight into the future
on the brink of which it hoyers, his
soul, endowed with prophetic sense,
gave it uttcrancc in the words, =" | still
live" Yes, he still lives in his great
example and his patriotism, of which
the light and glory are still over the
whole land, and will be with US always
to guide, to encourage and to exal'--
lives in the heart Of his country and
in whatever else of her is most imlnor-
tai, in her history and her ronown, in
her freedom, in her greatness and in
her eternal destiny--lives while the
mountains stand and the rivers flow
lives while the Union and the Consti-
tuition lives, never to die until they fall,
and the very name of the Republic is
blottcd from the earth"

Among the many articles which arc
now manufactured form India rubber,
perhaps there is none Of more useful
as well as novel character tLan horse
shoes. Experiments made previous to
the present cold weather, indicate that
they will prove fully as durable as
iron. Their lightness will especially
adapt them to the race course, and hav-
ing all the roughness, without the brit
tlcncss of iron. they will be Of equal
service, while devoid of the danger of
braking when the horse is under mo-
ton.
