RE- The steadiness of the. product Of
gold in California and Australia, for sew
eral years past, is very remarkable. That

sixty to sixty five millions of dollars, and
California has ranged from fifty to fifty
five millions. The indications seem to
warrant the belief that the maximum ofpro-
duction has been nearly, if not fully reach

The Comet is receiving an unusual a
mount of attcntion just now. One writer
says it will strike thc. earth on the morn
ing of the 10th of June, about l o'clock,
at place called Vide Poahe or Coronde-
let in regard to the effect that this Com
ct is to have upon the weather, another
writer expresses himself as follows:
The most the comet can do to any of tn q
planets tours not exceptcl) viii be to
change the currents of their electrical en-
velopes. This will have tendency to give
us the warmest or coolest winter (should
the comet appear soon) experienced since
1765. Should the earth's electricity be
attracted or repealed to either pole, the tenn
perate zones will enjoy an unusual degree
of mildness; on the other hand should the
earth's electric sheen bo gathered in folds
nearing the equatorial regions, then indeed
may we expect the most intense cold ever
experienced in this climate. -s-
In either event the disturbance of the
ocean of electricity in which the solar sys-
tenn floats, will produce extraordinary re-
suits in atmospheric temperature, wind cur.
rents, and vegetation, until the electrical
equilibrium shall be re-establishcl.

The Horse Charm,

Or the Great Secret Of Tanning Horses.
The horse-castor is wart, or ex-
cresccnce, which grows on every
horses fore legs, and generally on the
hind legs. 1t has a peculiar rank,
musty smell, and is easily pulled off.
The ammoniacal cGluvia Of the horse
seems to concentrate in this part, and
its very strong odor has n great at
traction for all animals, espccially'ca-
nine, and the horse himself.
For the oil Cumin, the horse has an
instructive passion. Both are original
natives of Arabia, and when the horse
scents the odor, he is instinctively
drawn towards it.
The oil of Rhodium possesses pecu.
liar properties. All animals seem to
cherish fondness for it, and it exer-
cises kind Of subduing influence
over them.
The directions given for tanning
horses arc as follows:
Procure some horse castor and CRATE
it fine. Also get some oil Of Rhodium
and keep the three separate in air
tight bottles.
Rub little oil of Cumn upon your
hands, and approach the horse in the
field, on the windward side, so that he
can smell the Cumin. The horse will
then let you come up to him without
any trouble.
Immediately rub your hands gently
on the horses nose, getting little of
the oil on it. You can then lead him
anywhere. Give him little of the
castor on piece of loaf sugar, apple
or potato.
Put s drops of oil of Rhodium into
lady's silver thimble. Take the
thimble between the thumb and mid
die finger of your right hand, with the
forelinger stopping the mouth Of the
thimble, to prevent the oil from run
ming out whilst you are opening the
mouth Of the horse.
AS soon as you have opened the
horses mouth, tip the thimble over
upon his tongue, and he is your SER
want. He will follow you like pet
dog.
He is now your pupil and friend
You can teach him anything-only be
kind TO him, be gentle. Love him,
and he will love you.
