RoBBERY.-Wc understand that very
daring robbery was committed, on Sunday
night last, at place called Dinahville, in
Placer county, some seven miles from john
sons Crossing The store of Otto, Thiele &
Co. was entered by a company Of four or
well armed, and quite extensively ransacked.
The first the parties sleeping in the house
were aware of anything, they were awakened
by the scoundres and commanded to unlock
the safe. Eleven hundred dollars in quick.
silver dust and 5000 in coarse specimens were
taken therelrom, and the robbers took their
departure. After they had gone it YVES dis
covered that they had also carried away
with them eight pairs of grey cashmere pants
worth about $50 or 500, eight black cloth
coats, besides other clothing and several
pairs of boots. The fellows were dressed in
grey pants and black coats. 1t is understood
we believe, that $500 is offered for their ar
rest, although it is a matter of some doubt
from the fact that no reward is advertised
How THEY DID Ir-It seems that the hon
est voters of the Fourth Ward were swindled
out of their votes by a despicable Lecompton
trick We are informed that the Douglas
ticket was counterfeted and the name of Far
ish, the Lecompton candidate for City Clerk,
substituted for that Of Chas NJ. Gorham, the
Douglas nominee. 1t is said that at least 50
votes of this character went in, and thus was
the choice of the citizens of that Ward and
Of the city defeated. AS it was, and in spite
of all their trckery, Gorham was only beat.
EN- by votes And yet these men will talk
about frauds in elections, and try to account
for the overwhelming defeat of their general
ticket by declaring that there has been lille
gal voting This illegal voting is proven to
have been on tn ir side, and one of their lille
gal voters is at this moment under bonds to
answer to the charge of swearing in a vote to
which he was not entitled.

SpARRows FOR New ZEALAND.-It appears
from the papers, that in New Zealand the coun
try, ut particular seasons, is invaded by armies
of caterpllars, which clear off the grain crops al
completely as moved by scythe. With the
view of fcounterescting this plague no vel i'm
portation has been made. 1t is thus noticed BY
the Southern Cross:
sMr. Brodie has shipped three hundred spar
rows on board the Spordfsh. carefully selected
from the best hedgerows in England. The fooe
alone, he informs US, put on board for them, cos
eighteen pounds. This sparrow question has
been long standing joke in Auckland; but the
necessity to farmers OF small birds to keep dowr
the grub is admitted on all sides. There Is Mt
security in New Zealand against the invasion
myriads of caterpillars which devastste the crops
Mr.. Brode has acclimatized the pheasant which
is abundant in the north The descent from
the pheasant to sparrows is somewhat of al
anti climax; but should the latter multiply, the
greatest benefit will be conferred on the coun

The SEwARAGE OF LoNDoN.-The system OF
sewerage recently undertaken in London, is on
scale Of great nagniticence. 1t consists of three
gigantic main tunnels, at different levels, which
intercept the existing sewers at right angles,
thus receiving all their contents formerly empt.
led into the river, and conveying them parallel
with the banks of the river about eight miles to
Barking, where an immense reservoir is to be
prepared to receive them. This reservoir is to
be mile and half long, by about 100 feet
wide, and 81 feet deep, capable of containing no
less than 100000 cubic feet, or double the av-
erage of eight hours accumulation of sewage
The object of the narrowness of the reservoir
compared with its length is to admit of its be-
ing bricked over with arches, and covered with
earth, so as to prevent the escape of foul gase'.
During the time the sewage is in this reservoir,
it is to be deoderized, and experiments are now
going on to ascertain the best method of doing
this At high tide the contents of the reser
vor will be enptied into the river by immense
outfaIl pipes extending to the middle and bottom
of its bed, sixty feet below the surface. 1t is
believed that with these precautions, the sewage,
after deodorization, being poured into so vast a
body of water, at so great depth, will cease to
be any longer an agent of mischief
These works are now going on with great
rapidity and in the most thorough and profuse
manner, and it will take about five years to com
plete them. The works on the southern side of
the city, of which we have seen no particulars,
are said to be yet more extraordinary for the
difficulties to be overcome and the engineering z
genius applied to them. The expen nse of this
splendid public work will be about 1000, 900.

CosT OF INDIA To ENGLAND.-From state
ments made by Sir Charles Wood, Secretary ior
India, in the House of Commons it appears that
on the 3Olh of April, 1857, the Indian debt a
mounted to $297, 100000, and the interest to
$12, ,O25,OOO. The expenditure for the year
ending April, 1858, had been $2Ol, 100000, o.
which $62, ,SO5, 900 was for army expenses; and
the revenue had been $l5s,530,O0O; leaving a
deficiency on one year alone of 81, O,OOO.-
This was before the breaking out OF the mutt
nv. The expenditure, up to April, 1859, al
nearly as could be estimated, was $242, 900, 600
the revenue $169, 100000, leaving deficiency
of $73, 500, 600, which, added to the deficiency o.
'5S, made The total loss in two years SIG, ,lOO,-
OOO The Indian government had borrowed
$50, ,7sO, 900 in Iudis, and $57,Slo,0 900 in Eng
land. The debt OF India had thus been raised t
S4O7, 900, 900, the interest being 900. Il
was estimated that at the end of 1850, the In
dian debt would be $479, 100000, and the in
terest on it $19, 100000; the expenditure would
probably be 0,00O,0O0, and the revenu.
$3.50, ,OO0 900, which would leave further def
ciency of 500 1000, 900. The Secretary thought
that saving of $20,0GO,0O0 year might bt
made in the army. It's present strength was
4Sl 600 men; this included no. 900 Europeans
The number of the latter most be increased
that of the former reduced. The recent out
break had been confined to the military, the ma
tive civil population having taken little or NJ
part in it.

SINGING SoNas-Goldsmltb, We think, says
that be seldom heard young man attempt t
sing in company without exposing himself; an'
it is too true that, owing to the various causes
few people Of any age can sing song withou
grieving their friends. Yet sougs are the de
light of mankind. Among ruder nations the,
are employed to animate heroism, or to express
sentiments for which common language is too
poor and among people of the greatest refine
ment they o.ten make an important part, or, 81
it were, the completion and consummstion o
social enjoyment. Old gentlemen who used u
sing are always delighted to find that vocal mu
sic is not yet distinct; old ladies, who used u
be sung to, at, or OF, are reminded by a skllfu
voice Of the days when they aud the world were
young and happy; middle-aged people Of The
smallest pretensions to feeling, both men ane
women, love song; and the young who love
pleasure in every shape, never object 10 IL IL
this its most harmonious and seductive shape o.
all. Ia fact, there is no country in which sing
Jag is not held in high estimation. et

Cu1RIQU1 GRAvEs.-The news by the Moses
Taylor confirms the previous reports OF gold
having been taken out of the graves at Chiriqul
insconsiderable quantities. One man, dealing
with the searchers after the treasure, says be
has seen $250,OOO of gold derived from this
source 1t appears, by the laws Of the country
that the discoverer OF treasures in sepulclres is
entitled to the property; but the owners of land
on which these graves are found now ask dam
ages for opening the graves upon private prop
erty, and the Government decides that enclosed
lands caunot be entered without the consent o
the owners. The gold-fnders will, therefore
have to make an arrangement with the owners
of land before they can search for the treasure
The country appears, in many places, to be COW
cred With graves for miles, and it is thought
that there will be plenty OF occupation for thou
sands of people when the dry season sets in,
which will be in the end of December. Atpres.
ent, it would be unwise for foreigners to go there,
as they would, in all probability, get the fever
from exposure to the rains, and they could make
little progress in prospecting, owing to the swol'
len state of the streams.

Harmony OF Science and Revelation.

The Scientific American thinks that the dis
cussion of this question has been brought to {
point at which it may be truly said, "argumen
is exhausted, and further discussion worse thar
useless, and gives the following as the sum
the whole matter
The Scriptures and the science OF geology
teach Us that this earth was at one period IN
state or condition without living thing upor
it-no plant, no flower, no insect, bird, beast, Oh
man. Both teach that the successive acts o
creation described in the first book OF Genesis
are in exact accordance with the revelation o
the book of nature. There is no difference OF O.
pinion between the teaching of Revelation and
science or-these points.
One class believe, that the days mentioned ir
the first chapter of GENESIS mean epochs OF time
and may be so interpreted, and thus accord with
the teachings of geology the other class believe
that the days referred to cannot be so interpret
ed that they mean solar days; and thus they
assert that this science, as generally taught, Il
contradictory to Revelation. Thus the main
question stands, but not involving, we conceive
the least contradiction between science and Rev
elation, for the question of controversy is one
only relating to time.
Moses, who certainly was ignorant OF geolo-
gy, has described the successive acts OF creation
in that specific order which accords with the
science of geology. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that an ignorant man, in describing the order Of
nature, as unfolded by the successive iats OF the
great Jehovah, would have presented only
confused and contradictory effusion; but, instead
of the first chapter of history being of this char
acter. it vibrates 10 union with the discoveries
of the most modern science, thus proving that
the pen of its author was directed by the Author
of creation. The question of the harmony Of
Revelation and SCIENCE as it relates to the "or,
der of creation,' stands upon grand and i'm
pregnable basis.

POETRY

nv mr. HOLLAND, AUTHOR OF THE "TITcoMB LHrTER
IKnes'ing and rocking the craass
What is the little one thinking about!
Very wonderful Thing, no doubt,
Unwritten history
Unfathomable mystery!
Yet he laughs and cries, and eats and DRINKS
And chuckles and crows, and mods and wlnKs,
AS if his head was as full of kinks
And curious riddles as any sphinx
Warped by collie and wet by tears,
Punctured by pins and tortured by iears'
Our little nephew will lose two years
And he'll never know
Where the summers go
He need not laugh, for he'll find it so
Who can tell what baby thinks?
Who can follow the gossamer links
By which the manikip feels his way
Out from the shore of the great unknown,
Blind, and wailing, and alone,
Into the light of day?-
Out from the shore Of the unknown sea,
Tossing in pitiful agony
OF the unknown sea that reels and rolls,
Specked with the barques of little souls
Baroues that were launched on the other side,
And slipped from Heaven on an ebbng tide.
What does he think of his mothers eyes
What does he think of his mothers hair?
What of the cradle roof that flies
Forward and backward through the air!
What does he think of his mothers breast;
Bare and beautiful, smooth and white,
Seeking it ever with fresh delight
Cup of his life and couch of his rest?
What does he think when her quick embrace
Presses his hand and buries his face
Deep where the heart-throbs sink and swell
With tenderness she can never tell,
Though she murmur the words
Of all the birds
Words she has learned to murmur well!
Now he thinks he'll go to sleep
can see the shadow creep
Over his eyes, in soft eclipse,
Over his brow, and over his lips,
Out to his little fingers tips
Softly sinking, down he goes
Down he goes Down he goes
Risiag and carefully retreattng to her seat.
See He is bushed in sweet repose

SATAN's MARKS IN THE SwINE-A few days
since, on going into my back yard where fresh
ly killed pig had just been hung up, man who
knew was curious in such matters, said, There,
now, there's the mark as Satan made in the
herd of swine before they ran down the cliff in
to the sea" pointing to five dark marks on the
skin of the inside of each toreleg On my ques-
tionng him, he assured me he had never seen a
pig without them q have since looked at five
and they had the same y and he said the tradi-
tion was that all swine had them ever since the
casting out of the devils which destroyed the
herd in the. sea. My queries are, does this mark
always exist? How do anstomists account for

EcTIoNEERING.-Governo p, of Ken
lucky, tells couple Of good ones on himself
When on a canvass proceeding his election, he
stopped at cabin on the waysde, in the eastern
mountains of the State for bite of dinner. The
good housewife served him better repast than
he expected, tender and juicy fresh veneson be-
ing one of the courses, followed by tempting
display of pastry. Cutting into one OF the pies
and tasting the same his palate was entirely pro.
pitiated, and he paid his compliments to the Ia
dy by way of making an inquiry:
Madam said he, this Is very delicious pie I;
but upon my word | don't know what is the
fruit in it-pray tell me, if you please !,
why stranger, where did you come from +
demanded the dame in turn.
well, | am from the lower part OF the State,
but no such fruit as this grows there. Indeed,
madam, am ignorant of this fruit, and beg you
will inform me what it i'.'
up for Governor exclaimed the astonished
woman, and don't know huckleberries! Well
mislrust you amt ftten for the office
The Governor would have relinquished the
track, but his party wouldn't let him off; and
ne was elected in spite OF his ignorance OF buck
leberries.
On another occasion he stopped for supper at
q cabin not 50 we'll provided as the former. The
poor woman of the house had neither sugar, tea
nor coffee, and spread before him q dish of clab-
Der, utterug profus;on of apologies and regrets
that her house was so illprovided.

prefer this to tea coffee, or even Strawberries

hot evenings like this, when at home. IL re.

Now, stranger responded the doubling lady,

CURE FOR NEURALGIA-As this disease is be-
coming more prevalent than formerly, and as
doctors have discovered no method or medicine
that will permanently cure it, we simply state
that tor some time past member of our family
has suffered most intensely from it, and coulc
find no relief from auy remedy applied, until We
saw an article that recommended the application
of horseradish to the face for toothache. Al
neuralgia aud the toothache are both nervous
diseases, we thought the remedy for the one
would be likely to give relief to tue other; Sc
we made the application of horseradish, bruised
applied to the side of the body where the dis
ease was seated; it gave almost instant relief tt
the severe attack of neuralgia. Since then, WI
have applied it several times, and with the same
gratifying result. The remedy is simple, cheap
and may be within the reach OF every one.-Oe

How OLD THE FANS ARE.-Perhaps the ladies
-or some of them-regard the paraso!l as; a
modern luxury. Not a bit of it. Parasols We're
carried in Egypt three thousand years ago, and
are represented upon sculptures coeval with the
Pharaohs. The Egyptian parapluies, however,
being built on more sensible and substantial
plan than the sun shade now in vogue, were too
large and heavy for the delicate hands OF the
dusky danes and demoiselles of the valley OF the
Nile, and were generally borne BY their slaves:
The philanthropic young princess who tished
little Moses out Of the bullrushes, is portrayed in
pictures with big paraso over her head; and
probably the widow, Cleopatra, who, though
brownish, was particular about her complexion,
kept hemisphere OF silk between the sun and
her beauty when she went down the Cydnus to
meet Mark Anthony.

| The very moment of this reunion was destined
to be that in which a company of Algerine

ing up the street in the direction of Lieut.. Stew
art and his men, 1t was also at the same mo.
ment that the old Moor, who had 30 long con

his daughter, came to the window and aud set
up startling yell.
"This way!", cried Mr.. Collins, and he dash.
ed open the front door of the building, and con-
Quoted the entire party within. "Look to your
weapons, and take the rascals off their pins the
instant they hat", said Stewart.
| sharp and determined struggle soon com
menced, in the course OF which half the Moor
ish soldiers were killed, and the remainder final
ly gave way. But the rescuers had expended all
of their ammunition, aud only single bullet was
remaining; that was in large horse-pistol in
the possession of Lieut.. Stewart. He was Just
wondering what lie should do with it, when the
old Moor came down stairs with huge sabre in
his grasp, and made furious dash at Mr.. Col
Inns and his daughter, with murder written on
his features and flashing from his eyes, This
sudden arrival decided the destination ofthe last
bullet.
"Take it, you black devil" cried Stewart
just as the fearful blow was descending, and he
fired his weapon, the ball passing through the
miscreant's head and bringing him dead to the
floor.
'Now, boys" added Lieutenant S., we are 60
| ing to finish with hand to hand fight. The
powder and ball are out, we must trust to the

Closely followed by bis men as well as by Mr.
Collins and Alice, the Lieutenant led the way
towards the boat. 1t seemed as if Algiers bad
turned out to witness the triumphal retreat, the
streets being filled with thousands of men and
women collected together by the brief contest
at the Moor's house, but not IAN attempt wa;
