without afording any relief. On arriving at home,
I was informed that DR.. r. H. Worthington had
prepared a remedy for Cholera, &C., and was adVi-

in the various affections of the Bowels, and conse-

whom L have given it. 1 carrieda bottle OF 1t with

NEW MATERIAL FOR BUMDING.--W were
shown yesterday "a "specimpn brick" made
of lime and sand, which appears as though
it would take the place of the common clay
brick altogether. 1t is very smooth and
hard 1t is larger than the common brick,
and has vacant space in the centre. We
are informed that the materials used in the
manufacture of these bricks are simply lime
and sand the proportion being about eleven
parts sand to one part lime, and they can be
manufactured at less cost tlan our com
mon clay brick. The brick can of course be
made of any form or shape according to
taste. 1t is fully equal to sand stone, the
advantages are the facility with which they
are manufactured lathng and plastering
becomes unnecessary, and the outside and
inside of the wall is made at the same time.
The chemical change which takes place in
the manufacture of the bricks hardens them
SO that they are not more affected by the
action of the atmosphere than stone. 1t is
not affected by frost, and experiments which
have been tried to test its strength and other
qualities have resulted satislac torily.--
Scientific men have examined the material,
and all have arrived at the same conclusion.

African explorations have been peculiarly
fatal to the enterprising travellers who have
undertaken them, and hence it has been gen
orally believed that the climate of Africa
must inevitably be fatal to European con-
stitutons. Some doubt is thrown over this
by voyage up the Niger, from which the
steamer PIeiade has just returned to England
without having lost single man, white or
black. She steamed up the Niger delta in
the beginning of July, assembled the river
Chadda two hundred and fifty miles above
the previous explorers, Allen and OLdfeld,
and reached to within fifty miles Of the con
fluence of the Faro and Benaeh. This ex
pedition has proved that the Chadda and
Banaeh are the same stream, which is navi-
gable up to Yola, the capital of Adamana.
The party included sixty persons, and the
expedition was in the river one hundred
and eighteen days, twice as long as the ex.
pedition of 1912. which ended in so fearful
loss of life. The safety of the party is
attributed to their having entered the river
at the proper season, on the rising water, to
their having induced all the Europeans to
take quinine daily, passing all the cooking
and drinking water through boiler scrap
ing decks instead of washing them, using
Burnet's solution of zinc freely, pumping out
the bilge water daily, and keeping up of the
spirits of the crew by music, dancing, etc.

WORTH MORE THAN TWELVE MILLIONS
AFTER ALL.-News comes by the steamer
from California to the effect that rich mines
of gold and silver exist in the country pur-
chased from Mexico by the Gldsden treaty,
and that number of small parties who had
gone thither in search of the precious metals,
found numerous gold placers, but were
obliged to abandon them, owing to the hos
tility of the Indians and the difficulty of
procuring supplies. 1t appears to be beyond
a doubt that gold does exist in the head
waters of the San Pedro and Gla. A writer
in California paper says that the whole
country is as rich in gold deposits as Cali
fornia. He also adds that within less than
twenty miles of Ash Spring there are silver
mines now in the possession of the Apache
Indians, richer and more extensive than the
famous Chihuahua mines near Corolitas. In
the western section there are also said to be
mines of almost pure copper, AMI around
Tucson iron has been found i'll abundance.
Should this news be verified, this strip Of
territory will not prove so hard bargain
as has been generally believed. 1t is the
sincere desire of our people that some good
may cume out of the barren waste, for
twelve millions Of dollars is a good stout
inve Stment.

PROPOSED NEW TERRITORY "a letter from
New Mexico to the New Orleans Picayune
states that the legislature of that territory
have some thoughts of memorializing con-
gress to erect new territory out of the
southern portion of New Mexico. The
broad, and is inhabited by 100000 people
Mexico has given it comparatively a large
population in its southern part, and that
section is now so far removed from Santa
Fe, the seat of government, and the country
is so dangerous and difficult for travellers,
that communication is for all ordinary pur
poses impra cticabe. The proposed territory
is to be called Pimera, 1t is said to possess
vast agricultural and mineral resources, and
to be capable Of supporting large popu-
laton, The letter to the Picayune states
that it already contains larger population
than either Oregon, Washington, Minnesota,

were erected into territories. - Bait. Amer.
