to us, says the Sacramento Union, some fine speci
mems of cotton on the stalk which were grown on the
river bank about three miles south of the city The
plant was nearly four feet high, and the texture OF

every Californian cannot raise his own cotton in his

TOBACCO Tobacco Is one of the most
powerful poisons in the vegetable world.
1t belongs to the same list of drugs with
prussic acid, arsenic and henbane. Many
man chews or smokes enough every day
to kill, outright, three or four of the
stoutest men, using it in the same way,
for the first time Its deadly action is
first felt upon the nerve-power. When
enough is taken at once to destroy life, its
nicotine principle suddenly kills the elec-
tro-vital fluid circulating in the nervous
system. Various experiments on dumb
animals exhibit its shocking power to ag-
onize and kill. A single drop of its con-
densed oil would take the life of the hard
est man ever accustomed to its use. Its
next effect is seen in the blood. 1t reach
es the circulation by the absorbents of
the mouth. It reaches it also by the
process of respiration. As the blood ar
rives at the lungs to exchange gases with
the air, the particles of tobacco oil float
ing in the smoke of cigar or pipe, are
inhaled into the circulation and deposited
in the system. Put victim of this
habit into bath !; let full and free per-
spiration arise; then drop a fly into the
water. and it dies the instant of contact.

FROM A NEW "AUTOCRAT."- adj
mire to hear people try to talk little
French We have an exquisite at our
table, who, when he wants the pickles,
calls for the ongthray-mose (entrements).
He "assisted" at literary breakfast the
other morning, and in speaking of it af-
terwards, he said that at the decvewemong
of the da-jur-ney, the Rev. Monsieur So
and-so offered grace.
Why cannot people be content with
plain English? The good old Anglo
Saxon tongue takes rank nowadays with
nine-pcnny calicocs and shilling delains
only fit for common people who do theil
own work; the genteel must have their
vocabulary, like their silks, imported
from France. 1t is a great pity we can
not import one French fashion, i. e., the
power to set up our standard of fashion.
Who ever hears two Frenchmen when
conversing in their own language, stick
in little scraps of English here and there
like the sprigs of evergreen stuck into
the dishes of meat at Fourth of July eel
ebration dinners in country towns? Did
YOU ever attend one of those convivial
reunions, Sir !!

THE REVELATIONS OF AsTRoNoMI-
CAL SCIENCE show that the sun is $500
times as far again from the earth as the
earth is round. This distance is so great
that it would take railway carriage mo-
wing at the rate of one hundred miles
every three hours, $50 years to get through
it; but the earth itself, travelling with a
speed of $4,000 miles per hour, gets
through a journey of like extent-that
is, ninety-fve millions of miles, in some
thing like two months. The nearest star
is at least two hundred times farther
away than the sun. The light-beam
comes from the sun to the earth in eight
minutes and quarter, but it must con-
sumo three years and quarter upon its
journey before it can arrive from the
nearest star. But the nearest star is only
on the inner confines of the vast star
galaxy; the space that it takes the flash
of light three years and quarter to ira
verse, is nevertheless but little space,
almost swallowed up in the immensity by
which it Is surrounded, for it is compu-
ted that the most remote stars of the
milky way are seven hundred and fifty
times as far away as the nearest one.

EXTREMES has no local
ity. 1t is of no one latitude, but of all.
1t is as violent in the cold North as il is
fiery in the fiery South. BY curious
coincidence both ends of the candle of
agitation have just been burning at the
same time-one lighting the meeting OF
the pro-slavery extremes at Montgomery,
Alabama, the other illuminating the anti
slavery extremes at New York. The one
conclave wanted the slave traffick reopen
ed, the others wanted the slaves set free
One side wanted free trade, or taxation of
all the products of the North; the other
would tax only the Shareholders Each
seemed to have been animated by a de-
sire to surpass the folly of the other; and
both have succeeded in receiving the re-
buke of all reasoning and rejecting men.
In the South the vagaries of the Mont
gomery leaders will set the people to
thinking, and will admonish them against
trusting such hair-brained innovators.-
In the North, the violence of the aboli-
tionists will operate even more healthfully
and speedily The conservative senti-
ment, that which is typifed in Pennsyl-
vania, is the only real nationality; and
this sentiment, whenever organized, and
united on honest principles, and marshal
led by honest men, must prevail, or re-
publican government must fall.-For-
ney's Press.
