MANUFACTURE OF GoLD.-M. Theo-
dore Tifereau, a Frenchman, claims to
have discovered the means of manufac-
turing gold. In a paper laid before the
French Academy of Sciences, he has
put forth his views, and asserts that he
has actually produced gold by artificial
means. The process is thus described:
"He proceeds upon principle admit
ted by ali chemists, that the properties
of bodies are the result of their molecu-
lar constitution and he adduces numer-
GUS examples in chemistry, in which
bodies assume different properties accor-
ding as they have crystalized in one
form or another, although their compo-
sition remains the same. All that he
had to seek was a substance which, by
its catalytic forces, would act upon the
body which it was desired to transmute,
and then to place this last, under certain
conditions, in contact with it to effect the
change.
He believes that there are but very
few simple substances in nature, and
considers that the forty metals, now
assumed to be such, are in reality COM
binations, probably of one radical with
some unknown body, hitherto not stud
led, but which of itself alone modifes
the properties of this radical, and thus
presents us apparently with forty bodies,
whilst in reality there is but one. II
any one have discovered this body,
which has hitherto escaped the research
es of philosophers, and can cause it to
act on any given metal, is there anything
surprising that he can change the ma
ture of the metal by giving it, with diff
ferent molecular constitution, the prop
critics of that metal in which this consti-
tuition naturally exists? This he asserts
he has DONE"

SHORT PRAYERs.-Sir William Wynd-
ham gives one made by soldier just
before the battle of Blenheim-"O God,
if there be God, save my soul, if l
have a SOUL"
Sir David Hume gives one made by a
distinguished cavalier just before the
battle of Edgehill:
go Lord, thou knowest how busy l
must be this day; if have forgot thee,
do not thou forget me-"
st. Folk gives one of La Hire:
go Lord, I beseech thee this day to
perform for La Hire as thou wouldst wish
La Hire to perform for thee, if he were
God and thou vert La Hire"
And he fancied that he prayed very
devoutly.
The above reminds us of the prayer,
short and pithy, of Tennesseean on the
eve of the ever memorable battle of New
Orleans. Weary and travel-worn, as
he approached the battle ground he sup
plicated the Deity as follows:
80 Lord, be on our side to-day if you
can. If you can't be on ours, don't be
on t'other, but lie low and keep dark,
and you'll see the d--d'st fight you
ever did see."

We heard a friend relate the accom-
panying incident the other day with mot
a little zest, and to the amusement OF a
good many bystanders;
Jumping into an old fashioned stage
coach, last month, in company with nine
or ten others, to jostle over ten miles Of
unfinished road between Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia, I was very much amused
with the following characteristic dia-
Iogue between regular question asking
"down easter, and a high-heeled south
erner. We were scarcely seated before
our Yankee began:
Travelling East, expect
eyes, sir.''
"Goin' to Philadelphia, reckonT
''No, SIR"
"oh, ali, to New York, may be?"
eyes, sir"
"Calc'latin' to buy goods, 1presume?'
"No, sir"
"Never ben there before, I wouldn't
wonder?"
"No, sir, never"
"New York is wonderful place"
''Such is my impression, SIR"
"Got letters, 1 expect?"
eyes, sir; l am provided with letters
of introduction.
sEWouldn't mind shown you reound
myself, a spell, if you wanted"
81 thank you, sir; but / shall not re-
quire your assistance.
This last remark of the polite but re-
served stranger was poser, and the
''inquisitor" fell back moment to take
breath and change his tactics. The hall
suppressed smile upon the faces of the
other passengers soon aroused the Yam
kee to still further exertions, and sum-
moning up more resolution, he began
again:
stranger, perhaps you are not aware
how almighty hard it is for a Yankee to
control his curiosity. You'll please ex-
cuse, but l would really like to know
your name, and residence, and the busi-
ness you follow. l expect you amt
ashamed of either of 'em; SO now won't
you Just obleege me?"
This last appeal brought out our
Southern friend, who, rising up to the
EXTREMIST height allowed by the coach,
and throwing back his shoulders, re-
piled:
"My name is General Andrew Wash
ington. l reside in the State of Missis-
sippi. 1 am gentleman of leisure, and
1 am glad to be able to say, of extensive
means. l have heard much of New
York, and am now on my way to see
it; and if like it as well as am led to
expect, / intend to-buy IT,"
There was heard shout of stentorian
laughter throughout the stage-coach;-
and this was the last of that conversa-
tion.-Rarper's Magazine.

A GUILTY CoNsc1ENCE.-When DIR.
Donne, afterwards Dean of st. Paul's,
took possession of his first living, as he
walked into the churchyard, he took up
skull thrown by the sexton out of the
grave, and in it found small headless
nail, which he drew out secretly and
wrapped in the corner of his handker-
chief. He then asked the grave-digger
if he knew whose the skull was. He
replied that it was the skull of a person
who kept spirit shop, and who having
gone to bed intoxicated, was found dead
in his bed in the morning.
Had he wife?" asked the doctor.
"Yes."
ttWhat character did she bear?"
"a very good one; only the neighbors
reflect on her, because she married the
day after her husbands burial"
A few days afterwards the doctor paid
her visit, as if by accident, asked her
some questions, and at last, of what
sickness her former husband died. As
she was telling him the same story as
the sexton, he opened his handkerchief,
and cried, in an authoritative voice:
Woman, do you know this nail?"
Struck with horror, she instantly con-
fessed the murder.

Pretty Inssden,.

We heard very pretty little incident
the other day, which we cannot help re-
lating. A young lady from the SOUTH
it seems, was wooed and won by a
youthful physician in California. When
the euoaoemeut was made the doctor
was rich, having been very successful at
San Francisco. 1t had not existed SIX
months. however, when, by an unfortu-
nate investment, he lost his entire
cheap" This event come upon him,
It should be added, Just as he was making
ready to claim his bride. What does he
do? Why, like an honorable and chiy-
alrous young fellow, as he is, he sits
down and writes the lady every particu-
lar of the unhappy turn which had ta-
ken place in his fortunes, assuring her
that if the fact produced any change in
her feelings towards him she is released
from every promise that she had made
him. And what does the dear, good
girl do? Why she takes lump of pure
gold which her lover had sent to her
when in prosperity, as keepsake, and
having it manufactured into ring, for
wards it to Linn, with the following Bible
inscription engraved in distinct charac-
tiers ON the inside: H+
"Entreat me not to leave thee or to re-
turn from following after thee; for whith-
er thou goest will l go, and where thou
lodgest will 1 lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy God my God; where
thou diest will l die, and there will | be
buried; the Lord do so to me, and more
also. if aught but death part thee and
me-"
The lover idolized his sweetheart
more thaa ever when he received this
precious evidence of her devotion to
him, both in storm and sunshine. We
may add that fortune soon again smiled
upon the young physician, and that he
subsequently returned to the South to
wed the sweet girl he loved, and who
loved him with such an undying affec-
ton. Nay, more, the happy bride and
bridegroom passed through our city, not
long since, on their way to the home Of
the latter, in the Golden State. Read
er, this is all true. Young ladies who
read the Bible as closely as the heroine
of our incident seems to have done, are
pretty sure to make good sweethearts
and better wives.

Gaines, it is further stated, has lately
been in New York city, with a new and
important witness, General Villamil, of
South America, who, it is claimed, has
a personal knowledge of the principal
fact necessary for Mrs. Gaines to prove,
which we suppose must mean the fact of
the marriage, although this point is not
stated. General Villamil is a native of
