circumstance has been related by of dsn

months ago Marshal Saint Arnaud went to consult the
famous physician, NJ Reille, and said to him, Il am
well aware that my state is alarming not afraid
therefore beg of you to tell me conscientiousy and
without hesitation how long have to live Dr. Reille

week gave him the following answer: On my soul and
conscience, Marshal, think you may live two years
longer Your constitution is much broken you have
chronic disease Of the heart and Of the ntestines Do
you think asked the Marshal that the climate of the
East may be favorable to me 2 Certainly replied the
Doctor. Well then said the man who was soon to be
the conqueror of the Alma that decides me; leave for

tion of the new building, at Sacramento,
intended for the State Capitol.
"There have been laid in the building
nearly one million eight-hundred thou
sand brick The iron work cost about
fifteen thousand, and the wood work eleven
thousand dollars. With the exception of
the portico. the exterior of the edifce may
now be considered completed, the timers
being already engaged in covering the
roof The portico alone will be q struc-
ture of no ordinary character. It's founda-
tion is of solid masonry, twenty-five feet in
width by fifty feet in length. The columns,
ten in number, will rest upon inverted
arches, springing on all sides at right an
giles. This foundation, although only
carried to the height of six feet, contains
between sixty and seventy thousand brick.
The bases and capitals of the columns will
be of cast iron, weighing about ton each,
and are in process Of construction at the
Eureka Foundry in this city. The base
of the portico will be surrounded by nine
granite steps and the ambulatory and halls
will be paved with marble tiles. A flight
of thirteen granite steps, will afford access
to the second story. We understand that
the building will be closed to the public
on Monday next, for the purpose of afford
ing every facility to the plasterers. The

PAPER FROM TuLEs.-rhe Sacramento
State Journal thinks that paper can be
manufactured from the common swamp
Tules, which are of the same species as the
Papyrus of Egypt;
SGentlemen who have been engaged IN
the manufacture of paper, express the opn-
ion that good paper can be made from the
tale. If future experiments prove this
opinion to be correct, there will be no dlf-
6calty in procuring sufficient quantity OF
the raw material. The State of Califor-
MIA contains according to the report OF
the late Surveyor General. Eddy-two
millions six hundred thousand acres of
swamp and overhowed lands. On these

In travelling over the principal mining
districts of this county, have met with
many curious object for speculation. The
first and most singular, is the allus
vial deposits, found upon the very summit
of the highest mountains; demonstrating
conclusively that they have been originally
Hooded for considerable length Of time
by large bodies of water.
This fact, incomprehensible as it may
appear, is accounted for by theory that
| think can be reduced to a demonstras
ton. In the first place, geologists haye
divided the crust of the earth into three
different formations or strata, in accord
ance with their relative ages, for the pur-
pose OF accurate scientific description.
Geologists, starting with the primary
formation or unstratified rock, produced
almost exclusively by volcanic action, ar
range the superintendent strata in thew
relative ages, as secondary and tertiary
formations. While The primary formation
is almost exclusively volcanic production.
the secondary and tertiary are the resulta
of the action of water.
Upon the theory that volcanic action il
the parent of the primary formations, ,ehan-
ges Oh It's relative position must be fire.
quent, from the nature of its restless origin.
1t will be readily perceived, by presup-
posing the theory already established, that
the primary or basic formation has been
produced by volcanic action, that it is
still under the influence of that agent, and
changes that have once taken place may
at any time be repeated.
The upheavings Of the primary forma-
tion elevates the superintendent masses.
This is the key to these apparent anomi-
lies of nature, found in the mountain re-
gions of California
Upon this theory, and this alone, can
be accounted the finding water deposits
upon high mountains in such large bodies,
literally beds of considerable streams.
| have merely attempted to account for :
one of the curious aspects Of this country.
but if agreeable to you will continue to
write, taking MP the different formations
in their regular order; giving at first
general description of each, and secondly,
describing the component parts.

Good Advice.

Never shrink from a woman Of stron,
sense. IT she becomes attached to you. Il
will be from seeing and valuing similar
qualities in you. You may trust her, for
she knows the value of your confidence;
you may consult her, for she is able to
advise; and does so at once with the firm
ness Of reason, and the consideration OF
affection. Her love will be lasting. for it
will not have been lightly won; it will be
strong and ardent, for weak minds are not
capable Of the loftier grades OF passion
Ii you prefer attaching to yourself q wo-
man OF feeble understanding, it must be
either from fearing to encounter supe--
rlor person, or from the poor vanity Of
preferring that admiration which springs
from ignorance, to that which arises from
appreciation
Excellent advice that, not at all practi-
cal however. A pretty face would over
turn that logic suddenly. Heaven pre-
serve us from the jurisdiction of strong
minded woman; we mean the sort that are
sometimes struck with an idea, kick off
the blankets spasmodically, and burn up
half a candle to enlighten the world, while
she onght to be sewing on shirt buttons.
or spanking the young 'uns. We do ad-
mire strong minded women; they are seen
to best advantage while acting as modern
tors of tea-drinking parties. Their strict
ures against the prevailing vices of the
village are refreshing. Their Indignation
at any Infringement of the moral law il
usually more intense when one of the isis
term is the sinner. Strange it is that men
of letters shrink from learned women,
worship from afar, With about the same
intense love that truant schoolboy re-
CARDS the "school marin" with her benev-
olens face and handful of hickories. In
the mean time some simple-minded, uned-
ucated girl, mere nobody, is installed a.
the presiding divinity of his home and
heart, and the poor man thinks he is hap
py! For our own part we unhesitatingly
vote for the pretty face, the warm conf
ding heart, and the sweet voice that would
whisper words of consolation to the erriug
and repentant.
