The Beauty of the Dead.

The celebrated painter c. r. Leslie, r. n
in one Of his lectures, volume of which has
recently been published, relates the following
singular facts: 81 know man of the high
est order of mind a man of fine feelings, but
of great simplicity, and far above all atfecta-
ton, who, standing before the corpse of his
wife, said: 1T gives me very pleasurabe SEN
sations' And vet he truly loved her. The
lines in the Giaour,' in which the present
aspect of Greece is compared to beautiful
corpse is familiar to every reader. Lord
Byron, in a note to the passage, remarks
that this peculiar beauty remains but few
hours after death But have been told,
by those who are in the habit of making
casts, that on the second day the expression
is generally improved, and that on the third
day it is often still finer. have, in several
instances, been asked to make drawings of
the dead, and though in every case have
entered the room where the body lay some
what reluctantly, yet have invariably felt
reluctant to quit it.
At kreutzberg, near Bonn, there is
church, near the pavement of which lie, in
one vault, the bodies of twenty-five monks,
in open cofiins. The dryness of the air has
preserved them from decay, though the last
buried has lain there for more than a century.
| visited this church with a party of ladies,
who at first hesitated to descend into the
abode Of the dead. We all, however went
down, each carrying lighted taper, and such
was the fascination of this singular scene,
that we fingered in it for some time The
air was perfectly pure, and we seemed to be
in al
teress etfacing for the time all other interests.
1t seems to us a mistake that death should
be represented by poets or painters as hide
GUS phantom. We could not contemplate
those withered faces of old men-for they
seemed all od-and think of death otherwise
than as gentle friend Their attitudes were
varied, and all had a kind of grace, which,
although we knew it to be arranged by their
friends, seemed perfectly natural. One, the
gardner, had Il chaplet of withered leaves
around his head. All were clothed in the
dress Of their order; and their clothes, as well
as their bodies, though the last were dried to
mumnies appeared to he little decayed. The
cast taken very impertectly by Dr. Antono-
march,, from the face Of Napoleon is more
handsome than any bust or portrait of him,
ana llldecd, mas lhe look OF Il mucn younger
man than he appears in the latest portraits.
This is easily accounted for. Illness had re-
duced the superintendent heshness of the
lower part of his face, and brought it back
to the condition of an early period; and DEATH
by leaving the mouth slightly open, had de-
stroyed that expression of selfish determina-
nation, which the thin compressed lips give
to every portrait of Napoleon. The profile
of the cast is the most perfectly beautiful
profile of man ever saw"

More of I. C.. Woods.

On Saturday afternoon we learned Of G..
B. Post d Co., the following facts, in refer
ence to the movements of |. G. Woods, as
they obtained them from Capt. Godbee, of
the ship General Morgan, recently arrived
from the Sandwich Islands. 1t appears from
Capt Godbees statement, that |. G. Woods
arrived in the ship Audubon at Honolulu,
the day the Vacquero was to leave for Mel
bourne, in Australia. AS the Audubon was
to remain in Honolulu over a week, Woods
gave Captain Newell, of the Vacquero, $500
to remain over one day, until he could get
all of his baggage out Of the Audubon and
put it on board of his vessel. The reason he
gave for his willingness to pay so much for
the vessel remaining one day longer was the
fact, that he was anxious to reach Melbourne
with the greatest possible dispatch. Besides
the $500, he paid $50 for his passage
making in all $3.50, The Audubon had a
passage of 81 days between San Francisco
and Honolulu. Capt. Godbee states that
Woods had much money with him. From
these facts it will be seen, that Woods did
not leave for New York as he stated in his
farewell card, but for Australia He is go
ing, we understand, to settle permanently in

Scatter We Seeds.

Scatter ye seeds. and flowers will spring;
Strew them at broadcast oer hill and glen;
Sow in your garden, and time will bring
Bright flowers, with seeds to scatter again.
Scatter ye seeds, nor think them lost,
Though they fall amid leaves and are buried in
earth;
Spring will wake them though heedlessly tossed
And to beautiful flowers those seeds will give
birth.
Scatter ye seeds; tire not, but toll;
'Ts the work of life, tits the labor of man;
In the head, in the heart, and on earths own SOIL
Sow, gather and SOW, throughs life own span.
Scatter ye seeds in the field Of mind
Seeds of flowers with seeds of grain;
In the spring and summer sweet garands yell find
And in autumn yell reap rich fruits for your
pain
Scatter ye seeds in the garden Of heart
Seeds of affection, of truth, and of love-
Cultivate carefully each hidden part,
And thy flowers will be seen by angels above.
Scatter We seeds-the seeds of Hope;
Plant in your bosom the Tree of Life;
Then the flowers here budding in Heaven shall ope,
And in Heaven will ripen the fruits of strife
Then scatter ye seeds each passing year;
Sow amid winds and storms of rain;-
Hope give thee courage, Faith cast out fear,
God will requte thee with infinite gain.

Since the experiments of Ericsson for a
hot-air engine, many ideas have been broach-
ed for the economy of heat in the steam en-
gine. Latest of these is what is called the
cloud engine, by w. w. Storms, of New
York city. He thinks he has found that the
introduction of cold air into the boiler, SO az
to change the steam from transparent to
opake, greatly increases the mechanical force,
and his experiments show, it is said, a saving
of one-third of the fuel by this means. An
other expcrimenter in the same city is run
ming an engine with the bisulphuret of car
bon.

TRIAL ON THE lNDEPENDENcE-The boat
swain of the Z. S frigate Independence was
tried on board that vessel for an assault with
intent to kill, upon sailor as reported some
days since. The testimony showed that Hall
pulled the sailors head back and made cut
intending to sever the 'ugular vein; and the
life of the man assaulted was only saved by
a convulsivc jerk of his head, throwing the
cheek in the range of the murderous razor.
Hall was found guilty and sentenced to the
seyerest punishment permissible-degrada-
ton from rank, and dismissal from service

INTERESTING TO THE LADIEs.-The Paris
Dulletion Of Fashion, anticipating August,
savs:-''A material for dresses has made its
appearance, which is attracting general at
tention. 1t is made from a plant which
grows luxuriantly in the south of France and
Germany, the fibre Of which is of so exquls-
ite a fineness that one thread measuring one
mile in length weighed less than four grains.
A complete dress fully, for August, made for
the Empress Eugenie, with double skirt and
all the appurtenances weighed less than half
an ounce. 1t is firm and wonderfully strong
and proves cheaper in the end than any 9th
er material for the ladies yet known" The
ladies on this side Of the water will be impa-
tieut to see some of this material.

The wheat pressing forward to market be-
gins to embarrass the western roads, whose
freight equippage will soon be fully employ
ed. The Illinois Central Railroad has found
it necessary to order three hundred more
freight cars. A large amount Of wheat has
already reached Chicago from the southern
section of the road One station alone,
(Jonesburgh,) it is estimated, will give the
road this season 3OO,O 900 bushels.

The South in Olden Time.

Mr. Benton, in one Of the chapters of the
forthcoming second volume of his Thirty
Years in the Senate" speaking of the decline
of the commerce of the Southern States,
says:
at is tradition of the colonies that the
South has been the seat of wealth and hap
piness, Of power and opulence; that rich
population covered the land dispensing baro-
nial hospitality, and ditf'using the felicity
which themselves enjoy; that all was life,
and Joy, and atilucnce then. And this tra-
diton was not without similitude to the rea-
lity, as this writer can testify; for Ire was old
enough to have seen (after the Revoution)
the still surviving state of Southern colonial
manners, when no traveller was allowed to
90 to a tavern, and was handed from family
to family, through entire States-when holi-
days were days Of festivity and expectation,
long prepared for, and celebrated by master
and slave with music and feasting, and great
concourse of friends and relatives when gold
was kept in desks or chests, (after the down
fall ofpaper,) and weighed in scales, and lent
to neighbors for short terms, without note,
interest, witness or sccurity-and no bond
and land security for long years and lawful
usance; and when petty litigation was at so
low an ebb that it required fine of forty
pounds of tobacco to make man serve as
constable"

While the corn crops in Russia have fail
ed this year, those of England and France
are probably above an average, and will be
aided by those of the United States, which
are 70,o0o,ooo of bushels larger than they
were in the abundant year of lS49. Our
own harvest appears to come on more rapid
y than was expected, as, even so far North
as Elgn, harvest was begun a fortnight ago.
Than this there are at the present time no
subject of more vital interest. 1t is the lon
gest purse that is the greatest material re-
sources on which the issue of the war must
intalliby depend. Russia only copes with us
now by the use of the most extensive instru-
ments of belligerent science.--Eng. paper.

Oroyille.

Mining towns, like mushrooms, spring up
in a night. A party Of prospecting miners
strike good lead pitch their tent; others,
hearing of the good diggings, crowd in; a
board shanty is put up and some cnterpris-
ing trader starts store with hundred dol
lars worth of shovels, picks, flannel shirts
and boots; soon an express is started to the
nearest large town-and they are in full
blast.
Six weeks ago the present town of Oroville
was started. The town is in Butte county,
on the right bank of Feather River, about 81
miles by stage from Marysvlc, and opposite
Table Mountain. The site is level sandy
bottom. The hills on the opposite side of
the river rise some 200 feet and are suppos-
ed to contain plenty of the yellow dust a
ditch is now being constructed, called the
Orovillc and Feather River Ditch, which will
bring the waters Of the Feather River into
the mining camps and will be finished in.
about two weeks. The miners anticipate
the good time coming" when the water
will be introduced, and the shining metal

Manufacture of Flour in California.

BY rough calculation it is estimated that
the aggregate capacity Of the Touring mills
in this State, is about one hundred thousand
barrels per month"; while the quantity re-
quired for consumption is fixed by close
estimate at thirty thousand barrels per month.
Recent intelligence from the East, favoring
the interests of the flour manufacturing
trade, will undoubtedly serve to put in mo-
ton a large number Of mills which have been
idle for months. The aggregate capacity Of
the several Touring mills in this city, as as
certained from several of our principal mil
crs is 1860 barrels per day. From the
same source we have the aggregate capacity
of several of the principal mills in the inte-
rior, embracing the large mills at Red Bluffs,
Tehama, Shasta, Sacramento, Stockton, and
San Jose, which is estimated at 1885 barrels
per day, showing a total of 2,695 barrels per
day, or SO,85O barrels per month. We have
not the facilities at present for showing the
capacities of all the mills in the State, but
with the above rough estimate it will be
readily seen, that with our present facilities,
we are able to manufacture all the flour
needed for home consumption, with large
balance for export. s. f. Hrdld.
