Anti Malaria Pills.

A SURE AND SAFE CURE FOR REMIT
IA tent and Intermittent Fevers, and also a
most effectual cure for all the secondary dis
eases accompanying these fevers, such as Liver
Complaint, Neuralgia, Indigestion, and Enlarge
menr Of the Spleen, or Ague Cake. For inter-
mittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, these pills
are undoubtedly the most effectual and safe rem
edy in the known world. They may be taken
at any stage of the disease, as well in the cold
stage as in the hot. These pills not only stop
the Chills and Fever, but they remove from the
system all secondary Affections which remain
after the use of other remedies, to reproduce
the disease again. In this respect we claim a
superiority over every other remedy which has
been offered to the public. There is paper
round each box. under the label, containing a
short history OF the causes of the fevers OF this
country, and the effects and operation OF the
remedy which we propose. These pills are
made and put up in the city OF Marysyille, Yuba

ArMosPHERIc WAyEs.-Mr. Wise, the aero.
naut, in a letter to the Scientific American, re-
marks that the beating Of a large drum produces
an atmospheric wave which rises to a consider
able distance from the EARTH The conclusion
caused by four pound cannon is such as to
sway balloon mile from the earth, and sew
eral miles distant He says that he has some
times, when the air was perfectly calm on the
earth, ascended TO the height OF eight or ten
thousand feet, and found there an atmospheric
wave. undulating along like wave OF the sea,
now up and now down, at the rate OF mile a
minute The cannonading at the battles OF Bal
aklava and Inkermann. he says, must have pro-
duced immense atmospheric waves. 1t is well
known that when file of soldiers march across
a suspension bridge. their continued regular mo-
ton causes corresponding wave of the struc-
ture upon which they walk, and would cause
the bridge to give way, when it would with
ease sustain twice the actual weight of the men.
in cattle or merchandise. So it probably was
at Inkermann The battle lasted eight hours,
and the successive discharge of batteries during
that time, caused succession of atmospheric
waves, which. following, overtaking and in-
creasng each other, must have finally produced
an immense undulation, that extended many hum
dreds Of miles, and COMPRISING the air, wher-
ever in It's downward wave it approached the
earth, caused the mercury in the barometers to
rise accordingly.

Relics of Lake Superior.

We find in the New York Tribune, letter
from Ontonagon, from which we take the follow
ing extract. The discovery of tempered copper
tools at three points far removed from each
other as Peru. Egypt and The northern regions
of Lake Superior, is an important ethnological
fact as pointing TO a community of certain kinds
of knowledge, now entirely extinct. among
people so widely separated as we suppose those
TO have been The following is the extract re-
ferred to:
In searching for brick clay, the workmen
had dug through the sand about two feet. and
there found the remains of stump which had
grown long since the top of stratum OF
clay, and on upiurning the roots of this stump
We're discovered many curious ancient imple-
ments of peace and war. Three spear heads
were found as perfectly and accurately formed
as any of modern manufacture. By the side OF
them lay two relics that all here suppose to have
been the adzes of the ancients, differing however
in shape from the modern. With these were
also found stone hammers. All these imple
ments, except the hammers, We're made of the
purest copper, and tempered to a hardness al
most of steel. There were also fragments Of
melted copper. The spear heads were made tc
fit on wooden handles, and the heads were
twelve and fourteen inches long.
This region is exceedingly interesting in
these antiquarian specimens; nearly all the
mineral range is full of ancient pits, whence
copper was taken.

Casting a "Devirv ou. Of Church.

We are indebted to our friend, J. nj. Eells, OF
Marietta, Ohio, for the following graphic sketch.
We are assured that the facts transpired substan-
tally narrated.
"a Methodist clergyman. who has been labor
ing i'll this vicinity. was, not long since, preach
ing to his people on the miraculous power OF the
Apostles over the demoniac spirits of their day.
AS lie pursuing his theme, the audience
were suddenly startled by voice from some
one in the congregation. demanding. in hall
querul,us, half-authoritative tone, Why don't
preachers do such things now-a-days?' In an
instant, every eye in the house was turned upon
the individual who had the effrontery thus to in-
wade the sacredness of their sanctuary.
q The speaker paused for moment and fixed
his penetrating gaze full upon the face of the
questoner. He had not proceeded far with his
remarks, before he was again interrupted by the
same impertinent inquiry. Again he paused for
time, and again resumed his subject Not con-
tent with silent rebuke, our redoubtable ques-
toner demanded again, "Why don't the preach
ers do such things howard -days?" and curling his
lips with snecr OF self-complacency drew him.
self up pompously in his seat
"Our reverend friend, (who by the way, is a
young man OF great muscular power, calmly left
the desk and walked deliberately to The pew,
where the interrogation sat, and fastening one
hand firmly upon the collar of his coat, the other

the aisle to The entrance. Pausng for moment
there. he turned his eyes upon the audience, and
in clear, full voice. said, and they out the
devil in the form of a distiller" and suitng the
action to the word. out went the knight of the
mash-tub, Ia leap frog fashion, into the street.
The good pastor quietly returned to his desk,
and completed his discourse. After closing the
services, he passing ont of the church, the
out-cast distiller, with an officer of the law, es-
corted our clerical friend to the office of mag
istrate, to answer for an assault upon the person
of said distiller After hearing the case, the
magistrate dismissed the clergyman, and after
roundly reprimanding the complainant. fined
him for molesting the services of the sanctuary.
Since that day we believe he has never for n
moment doubted ne power of Methodist preach

BURNfNG MUD FOR CoAL-In company with
a number of gentlemen, we, on Wednes day last
visited the room of DIR. Thomas Hooker, over
the Gen." on Royal street, for the purpose OF
seeing mud put to more practical use than be-
spattering US at every stride we take through
the streets. The idea now is, to burn it in place
of coal Nor is 1t fiction, but fixed fact
DIR. Hooker has chemical preparation which
he mixes with mud, as bricklayer would mix
lime with sand, and, after becoming dry, it
makes a most excellent coal coal that can be
made and sold in this market for thirty cents
per barrel, if made by hand: or even fifteen or
twenty cents per barrel, if manufactured by ma
chinery. s8
We should not have believed this, had we
not seen it burn ourselves. 1t lights easily
there is no offensive smell emitted but little
smoke. aud but very little dust cinders.-
What little cinders are left is good for cleaning
silver brass or other similar metals and the
ashes make tolerable sand paper and is also
good for scrubbing floors. &c. The patentee
also assures us that it viii not only burn well in
CRATES (where we saw it burning)-but in
stoves, furnaces for smelling, and for making
steam In fact, it can be put TO all the practical
uses of wood or coal, except for the purposes oi
generating gas. of one thing we are satisfied.
the mud burns, emts an excellent heat, and
makes a cheerful FIRE. Whether the patentee
can do all he says, remains TO be seen.-Nec Or
