DISCOVERY OF Two MORE AsTERoIDs.-

Discovery OF Two MORE AsTERoIDs.-
We received this morning intelligence OF
the discovery of the two asteroids, or small
planets, between Mars and Jupiter, on the
the same day, October 5th-one by Luther
at Blk, in Prussia, situated, at 9 p. m. If
that day, in r. A. . deg. 25 min., and north
delclinaion 50 min. and the other by
Goldsmith, of Paris, whose X. A. at 8 p.
m. was 245 deg. 20 min, and south decli-
nation deg. 4s min. Both planets were
also again observed on the 7th at Altona or
Paris, and their retrograde motion on the
two days was found to be about fourteen
and fifteen minutes daily.
The number Of the discovered aste roids
has of late years so rapidly increased that
We are doubtful how many arc now known,
but believe these two last will be about the
thirty.fifth and thirty sixth.-Boston Tran
script.

MIXED ESGL RACE IN TURKEY.-The
children Of Englishmen who have married
Armenian or Greek wives are very inter-
estng specimens Of humanity. They are
generally pretty, and very quick and intel
ligent. Indeed, TO English people they
appear remarkably clever, from the extra
ordinary number OF languages they can all
speak. Their nurses are chiefly Greek,
and they, Of course, talk to their nurling
in their own beautiful language; daily in
tercourse with the natives around, instructs
them in Turkish the father speaks to them
in English, and the mother, probably, in
Armenian; every visitor teaches them
French and Italian is learned as easily; so
by the time our children at home begin
going to school, these little things are con-
versationally perfect in FIVE or six different
languages and have thus already mastered
a great deal Of that knowledge our school
children toll so painfully alter, and so sell
dom attain. Another Characteristic Of this
class that struck us was the wonderful
large appetite they are blessed with fortu-
nately the necessaries Of life are cheap out
here, or the housekeeping bill would be
something frightful--Chambers Journal.

! The following notice Of forthcoming
marriage in high life in England is worthy
OF record from the evidence it shows of
real heroism in the lady, Sir Thomas being
effsctually crippled for life:-
"The gallant Sir Thomas Trowbridge
is about to lead 10 the altar Miss Louisa
Gurney, daughter of Daniel Gurney, Esq,
OF Norwich, and sister of the Hon. Mrs.
w. Cooper. Seldom has that proudest
need Of homage which beauty loves to
paysto yaor beon conferred on a more
worthy recipient. The descendent Of one
of England's greatest admirals, and among
the bravest of The brave at Alma, the hero
ic valor of Sir Thomas Towbridge at Ink
ermann has become one of the glorious
facts of history. Those who record the
great achievements of England's soldiers
in the present war, will emblazon in the
brightest colors OF military story, how,
when his skill and courage in directing the
fre.of battery had contributed to turn the
tide of battle, and when fatal cannon shot
had carried away both his feet-the wound
ed hero refused to be conveyed to the rear,
demanding of his fellow soldiers but to
carry him to the front and raise him on a
gun carriage, that, before bleeding TO death,
he might witness the successful issue of
the conflict; and then, cody, in that posi-
ton, continuing to direct the fire Of his bat
tery until he shared in the final triumph
and shouts of victory. Preserved by al
most miracle-his services crowned by
every applause that nations gratitude
could bestow-hs honors hallowed and en-
hanced by the tear Of pity from his sover-
eign herself, while placing them upon his
shattered frame, the noble soldier now reaps
his final and greatest reward in the happy
consummation of long cherished attach
ment with the beautiful and amiable lady
who IS about TO share his titles and honors,
while she consoles and repays his suffer-
ings."

HoLLowAY's PILLs.-Astonishing cure
Of bilious complaint. - Mr. Patrick
M'Kennan, Of Columbus, Ohio, su ffered for
upwards OF three years from violent pains
in the head, foul stomach, bad digestion,
disordered liver, and general nervous debil-
ity, he tried various remedies for tho miti-
CATION of this compound disorder, but he
only become worse instead Of better, al
though he also consulted several Doctors
Finding that the medical faculty could not
cure him, he had recourse to Holloway's
Pills, by continuing with this remedy for
a few weeks, he entirely regained his
health, and ever since then he has not had
the slightest return Of his complaint.

Lieut. Buford, U. s. Army, arrived in
St. Louis from Fort Laramie. lie left that
post on the 9th ultimo in company with
Col. Cooke, who is ordered TO the COM
mand of Fort Riley, and Col. Andrews,
who may be expected in this city in a day
or two.
Gen. IIarney was to leave Fort Laramie
on the Goth to establish n military post on
White Earth River, about half way between
Laramie and Fort Pierce. Ten companies
of troops-four of Dragons and six of in
fantry-were to accompany him. The in
fantry would be left to garrison the new
post, and the Dragons are to return to Fort
Laramie. But another object in taking this
large force into the field was to chastise the
Minnecanjos indians, who are regarded as
the most nsolent and hostile of the tribes
in that region.
Shortly after the battle OF Blue Water,
Gen. Harvey held talks with the Oligalla
and Brule bands of the Sioux, in which
they agreed TO give up the murderers of
the mail party and to conine themselves
TO prescribed district of country.
Gen. Harney sent word to Little Thund-
er, the chief of the party engaged in the
battle Of Blue Water, that if he behaved
himself he should not be molested 1t has
been generally supposed that Little Thund-
but this was not the case. lie escaped un-
hurt. All the prisoners taken IN that battle
some seventy women and children-have
been sent to Fort Kearny.
II was the general impression at the fort
that there would be no more fighting. The
presence of 80 large an armed force seems
to have had most salu,ary effect upon the
Indians, and they will be glad enough to
keep quiet. There was report that the
Indians had attacked and killed the party of
Sir George Gore, bat this report is noticed
only to discredt it. The rumoi was not
believed at Fort Laramie, and is improbable
In its very na'ure--Sir Georges company
consisting Of a large number Of mountain
eers, who could whip any Indian force like
ly to be brought against them.
The winter had set in with great severi-
ty at Fort Laramie; ice was formed about
the middle of September On the 9Th of
October great snow storm was experienced
by the party. 1t lasted for several hours.
Col Sumner, in command of seven COM
panies of the lst u. s. cavalry, was met
near Fort, ,Kearney, ell route for Fort Lara
mie.
Several hundred men were at work at
Fort Riley in the building of quarters for
the large force now stationed there. 1t is
presumed that they will be tenantable at an
early day.-[St. Louis Republican.

INVENTIVE GENIUs OF THE AEMERIcANs.
Few are aware of the marvellous triumphs
constantly gong forward in this country.
A contemporary says:
ave have seen lately, specimen of
rare American mechanical genius, ma
chine costing not over five hundred dollars
invented bya working man, which takes
hold OF sheet of brass, copper, or iron,
and turns off complete hinges at the rate OF
a gross in ten minutes, hinges, too neater
than are made by any other p.ocess also
q machine that takes hold OF an iron rod
and whips into perfect bit-pointed screws
With wonderful rapidity and by single
process. This is also the invention OF
working man and both these machines
are superior to anything Of the kind in the
world. No other process Of manufacture
can compete with them"

remarkable results. Downing, in his
