A COMFORTABLE EsTABLIsHMENT!-A cores
pondent OF the New York Independent, thus d<
scribes the domain of the Duke of Devonshre
"The domain of the Duke of Devonshre
would cover one of our largest counties. The
park Immediately surrounding the palace is ele
ven miles in circumference and contains 5000
acres. The principal garden for vegetables,
fruits, green houses etc., is twenty five acres
There are thirty greenhouses, each from fifty to
seventy-fve feet long. We went into three or
four containing nothing but pine-apples ripe;
others containing nothing but melons and Gu
cumbers. One reach tree on the glass wall
measures fifty one feet in width and fifteen feet
high, and bears one thousand peaches. It's the
largest in the world. The grape houses, five or
six in all, are 600 feet long, and such grapes! =
We saw pine apples weighing ten or fifteen
pounds each. One green huuse had only figs,
another only mushrooms. But what shall be
said of the great conservatory, filed with every
variety of tropical plants2 1t is one of the
wonders of the world. 1t covers an acre OF
ground, is 100 feet high, of oval shape and cost
$500,00O Ii is heated by steam and hot water
pipes, which in all are SIX miles in length. The
apparatus consumes 600 tons of coal IN year.
We saw banana trees twenty feet high, with
clusters of fruit, sugar cane, coffee trees, bam-
boo, and in short, every tropical plant that can
be named. Several of the palm trees are from
fifty to sixty feet high. The smoke of the i'm
mense fire underneath is carried in pipes under
ground TO an outlet in The woods. The coal is
brought in tunnel 600 yards under ground :
One fountain throws a jet of water to the height
of 275 feet

THE MINEs.-A San Francisco correspondent
of Northern paper, writes as follows:
The whole business of the mines is changed
or is changing 1t is becoming fixed occnpa-
ton, with its jointstock associations, its regular
employees and directors, its local usages and
laws, its communities, its towns, and cities even.
Works costing hundreds Of thousands and ex-
tending for miles, conveying water by long a.
queducts; tunnels cut through mountains; DAMS
turning tile beds OF streams; shafts, piercing
deeply into the bosom of lofty hills galleries
cut out OF solid rock sluices and canals, and
terraces roads, constructed among the gorges
of the mountains, scraped from their sides, sur
mounting the passes of the Sierra Nevada; such
are some of the works, besides the building Of
towns and erection of bridges, public buildings,
&c. &co '

A QUAoK had instituted suit for medical SER
vices against one OF his neighbors, and the suit
being brought for the use of another, became
himself the witness. A. NJ. Williams was en-
ployed to defend the suit, and, to expose the
quackery, ignorance and utter worthlessness OF
the services rendered, subjected the doctor to
the following cross-ezamination
'Did you treat the patient according to the
most approved principles of surgeryf"
"Certainly did?"
"Did you decapitate him2"
"Uudoubtedly did?"
'Did YOU perform the C@Sarean operation up
on him2"
why, OF course, his case required it,and it was
attended with great success"
"Did you, now, Doctor, subject this man to an
autopsy9"
"Gertainly did, sir; that was the last remedy
adopted"
'Well, then, Doctor, as you first cut off the
defendants head, then dissected him,a he still
survives it; have no more to ak, and if your
claim still survives it, quackery deserves to be
immortal

On the Death of a Child.


On the Death of a Child.
81 have son, third sweet son his age cannot tell
For they reckon not by years months, where he is
gone to dwell.
To MS for fourteen anxious months, his infant smiles
were given,
And then he bade farewell 10 earth and went to live
in Heaven.
canuot tell what form is his, what looks he weareth
now,
Nor guess how bright glory crowns his shining SER
aph brow.
The thoughts that fill his snless SOUL the bliss which
he doth feel,
Are numbered with the secret things, which God will
not reveal.
But know, (for God hath told me ths,) that he is
now at rest,
Where other blessed infants be- on their Saviors low
ing breast
| know his spirit feels more this weary load of
flesh,
But his sleep is blest with endless dreams of JOY for
ever fresh.

divinest things;
KNOW tnat we snail meet our paoe, \uis i0'uei "ssi

When God for aye shall wipe away all tears from ev

Whateer Details his brethren twain his bliss can new
er cease;
Their lot may here be grief and pain but his is certain
peace.
1t may be that the tempters wiles their souls from
bliss may sever,
But if our poor faith fail not he must be ours for
ever.
When we think of what our darling is, and what we
still must be
When we muse on that worlds perfect bliss, and this
worlds misery
When we groan beneath this load of sin, and feel this
grief and pain,-
Oh. we'd rather lose the other two, than have him
here again"
