TEMPERATURES OF THE EARTH.-The
opinion that the interior of the earth is
mass of fame, is founded chiefly on
the existence of hot springs and volca-
noes, and the fact that below fifty feet
from the surface the temperature in
creases about one degree for every fifty
FIVE feet of descent. Says writer;
"Then water must be wholly convert
ed into steam at a depth of two miles !;
lead must melt at depth of six miles;
gold at depth of twenty miles; cast
iron at depth of about twenty five
miles; and at a depth of less than fifty
miles the very rocks must be in a state
of fusion, or like flowing lava. The
solid crust of the. earth, by this calcula-
ton, is only the one-hundred- and-six-
tieth part of its diameter, and bears a.
bout the same relation thereto as the
she'll of an egg bears to its bulk"
The Nevada journal., 1857-08-21

GRIEvING FOR LOST PEARLs.-It
would be hard to tell whether most Joy
or sorrow has been caused at Notch
Brook, N. j., by the discovery of the
pearls. Dozens are bemoaning fortunes
that, in days past, they carelessly flung
away. One matron unavailingly signs
over some "little white things" that she
once gave her boys for marbles. A
school master lugubriously remembered
that he had chopped up eight or ten
thousand dollars worth, with his pen
knife, "to see what was inside" Anoth-
er genius rammed pearl bullet down
his rifle and shot away his fortune. An
old lady who chuckled six months over
her "good bargain with the peddler,"
now discovers that she paid him in
pearls, about seven thousand dollars for
a calico dress. 1t is needless to say she
hasn't laughed since. The unfortunate
man who had the $4,000 one cooked
for his breakfast has taken to his bed in
utter despair, and refuses to be comfort
ed.-Erchaage.

KILL OR CuRE-At the Marquesas
Islands, when one Of their number is
very sick the medicine they give is a
coffin. They lay it alongside of a sick
person and if he is really going to die,
it helps him off. If not, it starts him
up
A missionary who was lately on one
of these islands, states that the people
there are now increasing in number,
which he attributes to the introduction
of fire arms. Formerly, when they
fought with clubs, their warfare was
very destructive; but the muskets were
SO sure to kill that they fought two miles
off, and when they had discharged their
muskets, both parties rum When he
discovered this, he encouraged them to
buy guns, and he supposed there was
one to every man on the island.

The UNITED STATES BANK.-The
books, papers, draughts, notes of hand,
&c., formerly the property of the Uni
ted States Bank, to the amount of forty
tuns, have been purchased by Messrs.
Bottom & Co., Trenton, are to be ground
up and converted into paper. The True
american says ten tuns of this vast pile
is of correspondence, autograph letters
of the first statesmen, politicians, and
financial men of this and other coun-
tries. Drafts upon the Rothschilds for
hundreds of thousands of dollars, certif-
icates of stock transferred to the leading
bankers in Europe, checks and drafts
from Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Houston,
Crockett, Cass, &c, all lay scattered,
ready for the transformation into clean,
unsullled white paper. This huge mass
of books and papers strikes the visitor
with astonishment. A faint idea may
be formed of the colossal character of
the institution, which at one time occu-
pied SO important a part in the history

Cause oftAe aurora Borealis-M. de
la Rive, the celebrated Genevan natu-
raj philosopher, is the author of long
memoir on the Aurora Borealis, in which
he attempts to account for that phenom-
enon in very simple, and certainly not
unphilosophical way. The distinguish
ed author holds that what is termed the
Aurora Borealis is owing to electrical
discharges taking place in the polar re-.
gions, between the terrestrial globe and
the atmosphere, by means of icy parti-
cles suspended in it there, while the
charge takes place in the equatorial re-
gion by the direct or the indirect action
of the sun. These. electrical discharges
taking place constantly, but with vary
ing intensity according to the state OF
the atmosphere, the Aurora Borcalis
must be daily phenomenon, although
with differing intenseness; its visibility
extends consequently to varying distan-
ces, and depends also on the Transparent
cy of the atmosphere during the night

The IRISH AND WELLER.-Mr. We'll
Ter in his speech in this place, declared
he was not travelling for the purpose of
soliciting votes from the people, but to
learn who are the reliable men of the
various sections of the State. Never
theless he took great deal of pains to
set himself right with the Irish. The
murder of Heating was alluded to, and
an attempt made by Weller to wash his
hands of all blame in saving Herbert
from the law.
Weller in his speech says Herbert
was stranger to him, that he took no
means to screen the guilty, but to give
hun fair and impartial trial. Is this
500 While traversing the State mot
for the purpose of seeking tes-oh.
no } he desires to have it understood
that Herbert was stranger. In an ad-
dress to the people of this State, soon
after the bloody event, Weller called
the killer of Irishmen friend, and admit
ted that personal relations induced him
to defend the murderer before the peo-
pie of California. He went further, and
endeavored to force Herbert again upon
the respect and confidence of the peo-
pie. Let Irishmen read:
To the People Of California 1t is
due to you that l should make brief
statement of the circumstances connect
ed with the unfortunate renconter at
Wizards hotel, in which my colleague,
Hon. p. L. Herbert committed homi
eide. The facts have been so shame
fully misrepresented by the press, that
1 am constrained by public as well as
personal relations which l sustain to
that gentleman, to present this case in
its true light. l trust you may find
however deeply we may deplore the re-
suit, he has done NOTHING to FOR
FELT the CONFIDENCE and RE-
SPECT you have hitherto reposed in
HIM.
l attended the two examinations as
his counsel and FRIEND-one before
Justices Birch and Smith, and the other
before Judge Crawford, of the U. S.
District Court, and reduced to writing
the whole testimony, and think l fully

The Grand Secret Of Louis Napo7eon's
iSuccess.-It has been stated that the
Emperor is in possession of the talisman
of Charlemagne. This relic, which has
been mentioned, contains piece of the
true cross, and was, in 797, sent by Ha-
roun al Raschid to Charlemagne, with,
according to the chronicle of St. Martin,
'the swaddling clothes of our Saviour,
the crown of thorns, the winding sheet,
the chemise of the Holy Virgin. the
arm of Saint Simeon, and the keys of
the Holy Sepulchre."
All these objects were conveyed to
ak la Chapelle, and were deposited in
the church, whence they passed into the
Emperor's hands.
