New METHOD OF RAsCAMrY.-Thc New York
Evening Post saws that the wife of a well-kuown
citizen who resides in that city, recently had
row escape from serious injury. The lady was alone
in the house, and, hearing the door-be ring, went
down to the door. As she opened the door by a
seeming intuition, she stepped back little distance
but Just far enough to escape being stunned by a
heavy stick of timber which had been placed against
the door outside so as fall directly upon the head
of the person answering the bell. The timber was
diameter, and was so heavy that the lady was I'M
able to remove it after it had fallen, Whether this
new drop game intended for practical joke,
or as a piece of private revenge, or, is more
likely, a new invention for assisting burglars to
enter house, is not clear in this instance. Itmay
be as WE'LL however, for hou5ekeepers to bear in
mind this circumstance, and thus avoid being 'pat
! ted on the head in the manner mentioned.

The Weekly Sacramento Ne,os states that in an
swer to a letter embodying a wish that Senatori-
al appointment may be made, in order that some
person from California may announce in Congress
Mr. Broderck's death. and pay a suitable tribute
to his memory, Gov. Weller replies follows
"My present impression is that the public inter-
est will not suffer if leave the whole matter with
the Legislature As the next session will be a long
one very little, if any, business OF Importance will
be transacted before the month Of February. If
Mr.. Broderick's death be not previously announ-
ced have no doubt the Legislature will select a
Senator who can and will make the announcement
in fit and approprate terms"

The Americas Mails.

New York, Nov 6-The mails per steamer
America arrived here last night and left here this
evening for the South.
Richardson. Spence & Co.'s Liverpool circular
saws in regard to the cotton market The Ameri-
can adyices per steamer Arabia being more favora-
BILE regarded the growing cotton crop were con-
seuuently adverse to holders here, but owing to the
scarcity of middling and better New orleans and
Mobile, prices are supported at last weeks sales.
Hewett's circular says the demand had been good
but buyers had been freely met and the market
was devoid of spirit, notwithstanding rather large
business. Better qualities were much wanted, and
owing to their actual scarcity holders enabled
to obtain a slight further advance. Low sandy
grades were being forced off at low figures. The
imports of the week were 5000 bales, and the
amount known to be at sea $4,000 bales. New
Orleans Middling 71sd.; Mobile Middling ID; Up
land Middling 634.
Stolterfohts circular says of American cotton,
clean New Orleans was chiefly inquired for. Mo-
bile less so, and Uplands were almost in distavor-
New Orleans middng quoted at 71sd.
Messrs. Wakefield Il Nash say higher grades had
advanced 1-16@1Sd. Holders of lower grades We're
free sellers at no Improvement; New Orleans mid
ding 3-lGd.; Mobile middling I'd; Uplands mid
ding 6 l1-l6d
Messrs. Kearsley & Co. say: Manufacturers are
actively engaged and from China the de-
mand resumes great proportions. New Orleans
mid 3-lGd.; Mobile mid. Lied; Uplands mid
6 13.l6d.
Marriott q Co. report an advance of T@l-l6d,
in better qualities of American cotton, but
quote the same as Kearsey Il Co.
Messrs. Haughton & Sons say there is no decided
advance in prices though useful grades have i'm
proved slightly in value.
Messrs. Chase d Sons quote the market healthy,
and prices for desirable grades well supported.
New Orleans middling I'D; Mobile middling q;
Upland midding 65s.
Messrs. Drake & klenworth say the demand was
principally upon mddling qualities with staple,
which is daily getting and realizing extreme
prices, but lower grades must necessarily soon
share the attention of buyers and they already
somewhat steadier in price

The accident on the Central Railroad at Albany
on Wednesday night was caused by snow and ice
on the rails rendering the engine unable to control
the train the steep down grade. The engine,
tender and nineteen off the track; all OF
houses near the track were also badly damaged
Some of the cars were loaded with -four, and many
barrels being smashed, the ground for distance Of
several hundred feet covered to the depth OF
several inches. This fell prey to the scores ot
pferers who focked to the scene and scraped it W
by the hundred weight. Aside from the damage tc
the houses and to the engine and cars, the loss tC
the road is probably not more than one hundred
barrels of flour.

THE PHILosopHER's SroxE.-The Paris CORES
pondent of the New Gork Express writes follows
SIN one ofmy letters of last week, gave you
brief statement OF the arrest of Michael D.,
man who had pawned at various offices Of the Mont
de Piete several ingotS of metal closely resembling
silver, which were accepted as such, but which, on
analysis at the Paris Mint turned out to be COM
posed of substance immensely inferior in value to
genuine silver From later developments in this
singular affair, it would seem that the accused did
not deserve to be placed among the class of com
mon swinders, and that his antecedents excel
lent 1t has been ascertaned that, for the last fiji
teen years, this has devoted his entire time and
attention to experiments, whose result has been the
discovery of metals hitherto unknown to science,
and that it was to obtain means ofpursung his in
vestigations that he pawned the bars of supposed
! silver. Moreover he Indignantly denies the impu-
tation of having pledged the bars genuine silver
and SAYS he explained to the persons in charge that
tk metal offered the product of discove-
| ry, whose material was of even greater value
! than silver cOn and he now adds in proof of this
allegation, that if the ingots seized returned to
him, he will extract from them metals far superior
in value to the sums advanced him by the Mont de
| Piete. The sole condition he imposes is that he
| shall be shut up in a ronm by himself, to under
take the transaction, he will not reveal the Sc
cret of his process, to obtain his liberty. The
| question now is. what is this strange personage-a
| swndler, mad man, or a beneactOr OF science and
| industry? Whatever the truth may turn out to be,
the circumstances attending the affair have been
considered sufficiently important to induce the au-
thorites to order careful analysis of the new met
AL and the curiosity of several eminent savants has
been so far aroused that they, too, endeavorng
by examination and experiment to penetrate the
| mystery. We shall probably soon know whether
or not the philosophers stone, or something nearly
akin it, after many ages of iruitess research,
is to be added to the discoveries of this brilliant
and prolific nineteenth century.
If is said that when the massive walls of the cta-
del at Quebec were in process Of erection, so great
was the draft the treasury of France that the
Queen asked if they We're building it of gold! This
frowning fortress stands four hundred feet above
the river, and has been appropriately called the
''Gibraltar of America" 1t includes about forty
acres on the summit of Cape Diamond. This noun
is composed chiefly of dark slate rock, with veins
quartz crystals, sparkling like diamonds; hence th
name. In its deep vaults deposited fiity-sevel
thousand tons of powder. Four Martelo towers
forty feet in height, stand upon the plains abou
half mile in advance Of the other notifications
! This old walled city has dark, dingy and for
hidden appearance, and feels entering it
low and massive gates, as if he were going int
prison.

PGrT.-A writer in Once ,1eeE, gives the follow
ing account of the death of the great Pitt:
"Pitt died at his house on Putney Heath, near the
spot where Canning and Castlereagh fought their
duel, and in very neglected state, of his fam
lily or friends being with him at the time. One,
who was sincerely attached to him, hearing of his
illness, rode from London to see him. Arriving at
his house he rang the bell at the entrance gate, but
no one came. Dismounting, he made his way to
the hall door, and repeatedly rang the bell, which
no one answered. He then entered the house, wan
dpred from room to room till at last he discovered
Pitt on bed-dead, and entirely neglected. 1t is
supposed that such was his poverty, he had not
! been able to pay the wages of his servants, and
| that they had absconded, taking with them what
| they could"

the city of New York about 900 smokers, each
using two cigars daily, making 100000 cigars
every day. These, at an average of four cents
