A Curiosity i'm California.

One of the most interesting events
which have recently transpired in Cali
fornia, is the discovery in the southern
part of the state, in the neighberhood of
the Colorado, of an immense pyramid of
hewn stone. 1t has level top of fifty
feet square, though it is evident that it
was once completed, but that some great
convulsion of nature has displaced its en-
tire top, as it evidently now lies huge
and broken mass upon one of its sides,
though nearly covered by the sands. This
pyramid differs in some respect from the
Egyptian pyramids; it is, or was, more
slender or pointed, and while those of
Egypt are composed of steps or layers,
receding as they rise, the American py-
ramid was undoubtedly more finished
work; the outer surface of the blocks
were evidently cut to an angle that gave
the structure, when new and complete, a
smooth or regular surface from top to
bottom. From the present level OF the
sands that surround it, there are fifty two
distinct layers of stone, that will average
at least two feet; this gives its present
height one hundred and four feet, SO that
before the top was displaced, it must have
been Judging from an angle in its sides,
at least twenty feet higher than at pres
ent How far it extends beneath the
surface of the sands, it is impossible to
determine without great labor. Such is
the age of this immense structure that
the perpendicular joints between the
blocks are worn away by the storms, the
vicissitudes and the corroding of centuries,
as to make it easy of ascent particularly
upon one of its sides, because singular
fact connected with this remarkable
structure is that it inclines nearly ten de-
grees to one side Of the vertical or rcr-
pendlcular.

a singular advertisement, says a
Wisconsin friend, attracted my notice
few days ago, which seemed so entirely
original, and withal so western in its
sentiment and expression, that l cannot
forbear sending it to the Knickerbocker.
1t appears that some speculator has con-
ceiyed the bold idea of building a city
in Wisconsin, and owning it all himself;
an undertaking which will certainly pay
when it is successful. The gentlcmans
advertisement closed up with a paragraph
like the following: The town of-and
surrounding country is the most beautiful
the God of Nature ever made. The
scenery is celestial-divine; also, two
wagons to sell, and yoke of steers A
bout as rapid descent from the poetical
to the practical as is manifested by
young eastern merchants who get mar
ried, and come out West on what they
call "a reelllling and collecting tour

over 90 pounds. His height was six feet
two inches. The secretion of the kidneys
is discharged once or twice a day; 1t IS
very high colored, and not much dlmin-
| ished in quantity. Possiblyit is from
habit, possibly from some remains of con-
sciousness, that in this matter he is sub
icct to the wishes Of attendants. The al
vine eyacuations are very scanty, occur
ring not oftener than at intervals of from
six to twenty days. Once he was lett
standing for three days; there was no
change in his position during that time.
We are not informed definitely as to
the medical treatment to which he has
been subjected. We are told, however,
(and he has scars that attest it, that he
has been blistered and bled, subjected to
issues, setons, and counter-irritation OF
almost every sort; that tOnics and sud-
den stimulants have all been applied; but
medicine has exhausted It's resources III
vain. Once he was thrown into the wa
ter, but it produced no change.
His personal appearance is anything
but progressing. The beard, which COW
ers his face and lips, stands erect, and
the hair of his head also stands on end
We are assured that this is no popularity
in the family, and that nothing of this
sort, no tendency to epilectic or kindred
diseases, has ever been noticed in the fam
lily.
Medical men regard this case with the
profoundest interest. 1t is entirely with
out parallel in the medical history
Catalepsy it has been called, but the rig
ity of the muscles is quite uncommon; IN
deed, the limbs of the cataleptic generally
seems to be plastic, maintaining the posi-
ton in which they are placed-yielding
readily, however, to any counterbaIan-
cling power.
We have seen another form of it, in
which, though the head, the neck, or the
4 limbs would take any posture given them
after the lapse of a few moments they
would begin gradually to return to the
position occupied at the time of the seiz-
ure. The maintenance Of the cataleptic
state for even few days is extremleyrare.
The tetanic spasm of the mouth upon at
tempting to open it, the forcible closing
of the eyelid, and the other slight indica-
tions of consciousness, are not common in
catalepsy.
The ecstasy of nosologists recognises
lack of all consciousness and recognition
and great muscular rigidity, but more or
less mental excitement is supposed to be
indicated by that term. Strange ecstatic
seizures connected with hysteria are on
record
Gases are recorded where lethargy-
or cataphora, as some prefer to call it
and coma have been greatly prolonged.
but in these we believe the voluntary mo-
tions of which we have spoken were en-
tirely absent. No case, however, of either
has been protracted for years as has this.
This curious case seems both to battle all
medical skill, and to defy the history of
medicine to adduce parallel.-N \.

A young butcher put up at Il tavern to
stay all night, and the landlord, by way
of nickname, called him doctor, title
he had generally borne among his neigh
bors. 1t so happened that a young ~.
ID. tarried there all night; and hearing
the landlord call the butcher Doctor, he
took it for granted that he was a real
disciple of Esculapius. The next day 1t
came to pass that they travelled together,
and the young doctor asked the butcher
what success he met with in his practice,
The butcher replied that lie killed Htore
than he c1Ded! The docter, willing to be
as candid as his friend, frankly acknowl-
edged that he also killed more than ho
cured, in trying experiments

Hurry out, and cast aside;

Every seed that hurts the soil;
Tares, whose very growth is terror
Dig them out, what e'er the toll!
Give the stream of Education
Broader channel, bolder force;
Hurl the stones of Persecution
Out, where'er they block lis course;
Seek for strength in selfexertion!
Work and still have faith TO wait;
Close the crooked gate to fortune;
