goes egnlar course Of fattening, which is
continuously carried on till her marriage, and
which is conducted on the same principle rs
that on which our farmers fat:en fowls--
While undergoing the process, she sits all
day in dimly lighted room. and is. stuffed
necessarily with enscupoo, preparation OF
-four, which is the national dish of Morocco
in addition to when she drinks copiously Of
water. While undergoing this regimen she
is dressed lightly and, in order to prvent any
exertion on her part, she wears a gigantic
pair of silver anklets, Of great weight, the
presence of which renders rest more desira-
bic than the slightest locomotion. This pro
cess continues for some time, and the indo
Ience of the mind being added to that ot
the body, she is sure, ere long, to arrive at
the orthodox amplitude.

The United States Government, says the
National, will soon come into possession of
the block of land bounded by Washin,to
Battery, Jackson and Sansome streets. San
Francisco, which was leased by Major Keyes,
U. s. Army. for ten years, commencing from
the 9th Of November, ls49, and extending
to the 2sth Of November, 1859. The Gus
tom House, together with the Post Office
and Appraisers Store, at present occupy a
portion. of the block west Of Battery street.
There are number of wooden structures
and several brick buildings on the other half
which will probably be razed to the ground
to make room for United States Court
House and such other buildings as the Gov
ernment may choose to erect. The lo' alton
is the most central one in the city adapted
for such purposes. We are not informed of
terms of the lease.

ApvERrIsE.-In the following paragraph
An exchange instances case demonstrating
the advantages Of advertising to the business
man:
BENEFIT OF ADvERTIsINa.--It is often
the case that men come into our office and
INQUIRE for the papers published at such a
place, saying they would like to find some.
bodys advertisement. They sit down and
look the paper. over, and it is often the
case that they are unable to find the desired
information. Not long since gentleman
was looking for the names and address OF
an Albany firm to which he desired to make
a consignment, but not finding it he made
the rema'k that he would ship to firm he
was we'll acquainted with but not liking
their reputation, he desired to deal with
the other firm. This is but one Of many
instances, and proves conclusvely that bust
ness men should advertise, If it's nothing
more than their business cards.

20, rest easy on tha: hand" said the rob.
ber, sarcastically, ''for | foiled better men
than you; besides, intend for your inso-
lence, to bestow token on you, to show that
you were robbed by main force. Lay down
your right hand on that tree stump"
To lose his right hand was terrible, and
he hestated and recoiled
"Down with it," roared the robber, max
ing the bright blade flash in the sun, "Down
with it, or you are dead mani"
Life is sweet even TO the bravest, and Ken
meth reluctantly placed his arm across the
stump. Drawing all his strength into the
elbow, the robber swung the heavy sword
around his head till it -vhistled in the air.
At this last moment a brilliant thought oc-
Cured to the unlucky highlander. As the
sharp steel came rushing down, he suddenly
jerked his arm away, and the blade buried
itself in the tough green wood. Before he
could release the weapon or recover himself
from the blow, Kenneth was upon him like
a whirlwind. A short but terrific struggle
ensued which resulted so much to the dis
advantage of the robber that, with a sudden
effort of desperation, he broke away, leaped
upon Kenneth's horse, which was the nearest,
and fled away with the speed of the wind.
Our hero knew his horse too we'll to think

from Spanish Flat, says:
Within the last few days there has been a
deposit found at this place, in gravel bank,
some thirty feet from the surface Of the earth,

TELEGRAPH TO THE PAcIF1c-We find
the following paragraph in the St. Louis
Democrat:
"A few days ago we announced in our
news columns that the telegraph wires had
been extended to At4nison, on the Missouri
river, some fourteen miles farther than their
previous limit. The work is still progressing,
as we are informed, and the wires stretching
westward. When the line is built through
to the Pacific, it will complete An enterprise
equal in magnitude and Importance to the
laying Of The Atlantic cable. To the people
of St. Louis and the Eastern States, this is
work of great interest, and the day that
binds San Francisco and this city in tcle
graphic bonds, opens new future to both
and as the forerunner, perhaps, of the grea'
Pacific Railroad, we hail with pleasure the
dawnng prospect of its early accomplish
ment.
