A military MAN WANrED.-The
London Times advertises for a militia
ry man to take the place Of Geni.
Simpson, before Sebastapol. The
Times says:
There can be no doubt Of the dis.
content and anger which reign among
the troops. Officers and men have
lost all confidence in their chief. and
the only difference is that the private
proclaims his opinion with more open
vehemence. The incapable comman-
der. who has brought on England this
last disaster, cannot force bis soldiers
to look with envy on those gallant
deeds Of their ally, to which their own
defeat serves as foil, but he can op-
press them with feelings Of deep hu-
initiation, ofbitter resentment. of hope
less dependency. As long as he shall
lead them there will be the conviction
that the day of battle is likely to be
anything but the day Of victory.

At the base of Cordilleras it is pro-
posed to cut a tunnel three miles long
and one hundred and twenty feet deep
so as to admit ships masts. This cut
ting would be through solid rock and
consequently there would be little or
no washing from the constant ebbing
and flowing of the Plcific's tides-for
the heigh tides would reach the point
of the canal on the Eastern base of the
mountains. From the Western base
to the Pacific is eight miles, about
three miles of which would require
dredging The proposed canal is to
be two hundred feet wide and thirty
feet deep, so as to admit abreast two
of the largest steamships, and is esti-
mated to cost $147,OOO,OOO.

The Sun OAs RED FLAMEs.-Prof.
Henry, before the American Associa-
ton of Science, gave odd results
touching the existence of red flames,
or as his paper was titled, colored
projections from the edge of the sun
as observed during solar eclipse
These projections Of red fame were
observed again in May. A black
board representation Of them was given
"a circle of cloven tongues of fire -
During the eclipse it appears, rem
arkable appearances of these flames
have been observed since the year
1888, when Alexander and Henry
were. astronomers together at Prince
ton. One used a yellow glass the
other a red. It was found that these
flames could only be observed through
the red glass. To test this, last
spring when the big eclipse happen
ed, Mr.. Henry experimental at Wash
ington. He took a large burning
tense, such as are used in the Ii ght-
house service and concentrated the
rays of the sun upen a piece of shin
gle-the wood began to burn, when,
present the same sort of flames appear
ed Of a beautiful pink color. A range
Of different colored glasses were then
brought to bear-but through none of
them, yellow, green nor anything else
but red, could tie flames be seen. Mr..
H. called in the architect of the Smith
sonian Institute, and babe him look.
He was oblivious of the existence Of
the flames till the red glass came. A
candle was taken up. and it was invis-
ible through the red glass. The ill.,
ference is that the phenomenon is
real. The pink, according to Mr..
Henry, is a subjective color-a color
in the eye. This opens, be said, opens
a field for invitation.

an important item of news relative to
the late attempt to take the life Of

that he was bribed with 100000 francs

time, as the investigation ordered is
carried on with the utmost secrecy.

APPEARANCES AND DEsERTs.-The
world is more apt to reward appear
auces than deserts. because the educa-
ton of the world all along has been,
and is now, merely super6cial-a
knowledge of words only and no
meaning. Hence the almost total
absence Of the reasoning powers in the
great mass. A people trained to believe
and never to think what disgrace,
at this time Of day! The next question
about to come up-for come up il will
assuredly-will be, upon whose Shout
ders lays all the blame Who is to
answer ? There vii. be no lodging
that question. We shall see.

SENATOR SLlDELL.-This dis,iu-
guished gentleman arrived in New Or
leans, on Thursday last. The Cres-
cent says: s
|. We understood yesterday. that the
arrival of Senator Sliddle was momen-
tarily. expected, and great was the
jubilation thercupon in The anti. Am
erican camp. Some Of our friends
seemed to apprehend danger from the
advent ofmodren Talleyrand and while
we are on the subject, we will pay the
perhaps equivocal compliment ofsay-
ing that we do not believe the French
Talleyrand was half as smart as Mr..
Slidell!
For our part, however, we have not
the smallest idea that the Antics will
derive any benefit from the arrival of
tie Senator. We have n.isjudged our
man if he takes part against the Am
erican party. He is too shrewd a tao.
tician to play game where there is
nothing to win, and great deal to
loose. And, just at this moment, Nj.
Slidell has nothing to win. while 4
bad move upon the political chess
board might work disastrously.

dience was going to cheer, but stopped

HIGH HEEL SHoEs.-Since the la.
dies will persist in bestowing much Of
their time in working fine figures and
filligree work on their under garments
and wearing them long enough to
sweep the streets the fashion Of high
heels is commendable. As the Plea.
yune says:
Silks and fine linens by these eleva-
ted understandings are kept slightly
out Of the mud, and the general effect
is supposed to be advantageous.
There is only one objection, and
that is the clatter they make upon the
sidewalks. Were heels made of cork
or india rubber, there could be no OBJ
lection to them. But after all, the
advent of heels may be to aid the
march of strong minded women who
would. if they could, unsex themselves
to quarrel with men in the pulpit and
on the stump, about politics and reli-
gion. 1t is high time that they had
commenced shaving their chins, in
some parts Of the Union, in order to
have a crop of stubble in defiance of
the laws of nature, which have said
from the beginning, woman shall be
beardless."

this variety cultivated in about the
same climate as portion Of California,

An oil bean, from which the Japa-
nese express AN elegant article of oil
for burning.
An oil seed, from which sweet and
fragrant oil is expressed, called by the
natives "Goma oil" used by them for
cooking purposes. If this plant will
flourish in the United States, Mr.. Doty
is convinced that it must be at once
extensively cultivated, and form a
valuable article of produce.

binary amount of oil contained in the
bean, from which is manufactured

Hinkle, Guild & Co., the largest

upwards Of $4,000, the machinery
about $4,000, and altogether was
one Of the most substantial and conve-

fire, more extensive than has ever
