SILVER MINEs.-Capt. VIM. Weatherlow,
Mr. Jennison, George Lathrop and JOS. Kits,
says the Shasta Republican, have discovered
recently, a silver mine, ef large extent, be
tween Honey Lake and Mud Lake. It is sit
uated south of the latter place, and runs in
direct north and south line. In some pla-
ces the lead is from ten to fifteen feet wide.
1t can be rapidly traced. Where the ore
does not crop out, its presence is readily de-
termined by the color of the ground. Some
of the quartz containing the silver has been
brought to town, and assayed by Messrs.
Levin & Baehr The yield was at the rate OF
l64 ounces to the ton. The metal is repre-
sented to be of the finest quality. The ore
resembles that found in the celebrated Ari-
zona mines. The mine is situated about
sixty-five miles northeast from Honey Lake,
and is accessible by good wagon road.

THE GULF STREAM.-There is a river in
the ocean. In the scverest droughts it never
fails, and in the mightiest floods it never
oyerfows. Its banks and bottom are of cold
water, while its current is of warm. The
Gulf of Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth
is in the Arctic Seas. 1t is the Gulf Stream
There is in the world no other such majestic
flow Of water. It's current is more rapid
than the Mississippi or the Amazon, and its
volume more than thousand times greater
It's waters, as far out from the Gulf as the
Carolina coasts, are Of indigo blue. They
are so distinctly marked that this line of
junction with the common sea water may be
traced by the eye. Often one-half of the
vessel may be perceived floating in Gulf
Stream water, while the other half is in the
common water of the sea, so sharp is the
line and the want of affinity between these
waters; and such, too, the reluctance. SO to
speak, on the part of the Gulf Stream to
mingle with the common water of the sea-

AMERICAN NATIONAL CHARAcTER.-A writer
in the S. f. Times thinks there is no confirm
ed American character, by which we can be
at once distinguished among modern nation
alities. We are too young, and have grown
too fast, to have character in the mature
national sense of the word. Our 26. .0OO. 900
of inhabitants, scattered over our 1900. 600
square miles, is a multitude gathered in from
the four quarters of the globe Our % 600,
600 of white people are composed of the
three great classes, whose contentious are
the key to the English history of the last
three centuries, and the various elements Of
German, French and other European extrac-
tion. In connection with these we find A.
100000 from Africa and Asia These peo-
pie, strewn over s vast country at the ratio
OF only seven TO the square mile, separated
by barriers OF language, position, culture
and distance, cannot, at the present stage of
our national growth, be one in any vital
sense. We are yet many nations, living
peaceably together, because we have so much
room to dwell in. But doubtless the elements
OF the American character do exist, and can
be seen by those who look beneath the sur
face of the national life to-day As yet they
are uniformed and only hini at the ideal, and
1t is by no means certain that this ideal is to
be realized as TO the 7rhole country; but some
where on this continent we believe the liner
ican character is to be fully developed and
flower out in its genuine results.

ORIGIN OF LANGUAGEs.-The Greek and
Latin are acknowledged to be of oriental or
igin. The Teutonic dialects have IN affini-
ty to the Greek and Latin. The latter re-
sembles the Hebrew and other oriental
tongues; and in the Welsh there are also
many remarkable analogies to Hebrew. From
these considerations, which might be exten-
ded to a particular detail of proofs, it seems
highly probable that one original fountain,
and one alone, produced not only these very
ancient streams of language, that have long
been dried up but also supplied those which
still continue to flow, and considering the
simplicity of its structure, and the mode Of
It's derivation from its radicals, it is most
probable that the original or parent language
was Hebrew. BY the Asiatic researches, we
learn that with regard to languages, both
ancient and MODERN from India to Britain,
their radical words, verbs and nouns, with
others, regularly deduced from them, are in
great measure transcribed; and according to
Patrick, there are only three grand stocks of
nations, and at the highest calculation, only
sixteen primitive languages in the world.

THE AsToR LIBRARY.-The New York lady
correspondent Of the Times says that this in
stitution progresses well in its collecting Of
books, rare and valuable. 1t owns hun
dred guinea copy of the folio edition Of
Si: kcspeare, 1923.
Grant Whites title page to his new edition
of Shakespeare is photographed from it. BY
the way, Whites Shakespeare is highly COM
mended. Lowell has written in the 4Aantc
a splendid article on it. Among other things
at the library is a book which belonged to
Washington, but somebody cut off his auto
graph! The Librarian told me that they
were obliged to watch their visitors; with all
their watching valuable books were some
times disfgured Among their rare early
books is a Caxton which cost seventy gum
cas-, and a specimen from the press of Faust
the Faust of story. There are spaces left
blank on the pages Of the latter for initial
letters to be painted in, TO pass the book off
for MSS. copy.

Look TO YOUR Flowers. = We notice in
many collections of pot plants in the win
dows and upon the platforms of our citizens,
that thepots have become encrustedwitha a col
lection of moss, alkali and slime. This is
very injurious to the plant, as well as iniuri-
Gus to the atmosphere of the room in which
they stand. The surface Of the pot is por-
Gus, and through its sides, when clean, the
fire h air is admitted, and the base air or i'm
pure gasses are emitted it is therefore i'm
portant for the plants sake, that they should
be clean, to say nothing of the appearance
of such pots III dwelling We would also
urge the Importance of immediate attention
to garden plants also; the dust upon the
leave is the same as luxurious collections
upon the pots of plants. Every leaf of plants
should be clean. Remember they are the
lungs through which the plant draws its
breath of life-Cdl Farmer.

THE PRESENT AGE.-Dr. kistfy thus de-
scribes it in the Cleaner:
''We live in critical, transitional age
The character Of our age is negative, in op-
position to the preceding positive and dog
matte ages. The ancient systems are ire
vocaby doomed, and new yet shapeless ell
ements are in course of disclosure. Hence
the parturent woes, conflicts, doubts
might as well say the anarchy Of mind
which accompanies our present transitional
age, out Of which the positive good is sure
to come; and not only are the religious, po-
litical and social spheres affected by the
present crisis, but it also draws into its yor-
tex the scientific world. The tendency of
our age is an irresistible democracy The
gates of the ancient Almas are unlocked to
the masses Diffusion, and not concentra-
ton, Of knowledge is the pervading thought
of our age. More of learning and less of
scholars is the shiboleth of our times The
great medium for the diffusion of knowledge
is the giant Journalism, of Comparatively re-
cent birth"

Su1soN BUILDING SroNE.-A correspondent
of the Pacific Methodist affords the following !:

cies of rock, that when first taken from the
earth is soft and light, but soon becomes
very hard. tits probably of volcanic forna-
tion as fire does not expand it. and it is hence
regarded as an excellent building material

Ramsay and others have used it extensively
for fencing purposes, while enclosing their
places. | was also shown specimens of n
species of beautiful veined marble that were
taken from quarries in the hills between
Suisun and Vaca valleys. 1t is very solid
and very heavy, and considerable quantities
of it have been shipped to various parts of

DUELLING.-We do not remember to have
read of duel among the Romans, and yet
their nobility used more liberty with their
tongues than one may do now without being
challenged. Perhaps the Romans were of
opinion that i'll language and brutal names
reflected only on those who were guilty o.
them, and that mans reputation was not
at all cleared by cutting the persons throat
who had reflected upon it: but the custom of
those times had fixed the scandal in the ac :
ton; whereas now it lies i'll the reproach.

A GooD HIT.-George VIM. Curtis occu-
pied Theodore Parkers pulpit, at the Music
Hall, Boston, the other Sunday, delivering
his discourse on Democracy and Education
to a very large audience. He commenced
by referring to the day, which was being
observed by the Christian world as one of
worship; day, he continued, on which we
call ourselves ''miserable sinners" and prove
1t so by our conduct on the six succeeding
days-a remark that excited the risibilities
of his hearers somewhat

BGS" Petitions have gone to the Massachu-
setts Legislature for law allowing judges
to accept verdict from three-fourths of a
jury in civil suits, where, in their opinion
the cause of Justice would be served there
by. Judge Nash, of the Boston Superior
Court, endorsed the proposition. The gen
eral principles of the unaninaity of the jury
on verdict is not proposed to be destroyed
by it; but if, after long consideration, they
fail entirely to agree, the judge may in his
discretion accept the opinion ofthree-foarths
of them as a verdict

THERE is nothing gained by the continual
suspicion which men entertain of each other.
Confidence, which is the fruit of honesty. is
also the seed of honesty. The honestest
man has most faith in the existence of pro-

been made honest, simply by being trusted.

GRANNY'S CHAIR.
DY HENRY JACOB.

BY HENRY JACOB.
A man am with locks Of gray,
And eyes of misty sight,
But, when hear rocking chair
Ny veins beat warm and light;
ASi | were at home again,
And heard old Granny rock
In her old chair that used to squeak
And keep time with the clock.
Some times did not like the noise
Old GrannS's chair did make,
But now afar DER lard I'd 90,
Ger river and Ger lake,
So glad to be at home again
Tohear old Granny rock.
In her old chair that used to squeak,
And keep time with the clock.
O, many hours have | been rocked
In Granny's squeaking chair;
But o. how many changes since
Have thi'ned and grayed my hair!
0 Time! convey me back again
To hear old Granny rock,
IN her old chair that used TO squeak
And keep time with the clock.
Long years have / been far away
Far from my fathers house,
And he, and ma, and Granny too,
Are sleeping cold and lone;
And shall never hear again
My kind old Granny rock,
In the old chair that used to squeak
And keep time with the clock.
There is a charm in thoughts home
The absent only feel.
A charm, lone native to that heart.
Who's seen the parent kneel
At eve. at eve, and eve again
When Granny ceased to rock,
In her old chair that used to squeak
And keep time with the clock
How oft ct Grannys fee; I've sat,
How oft upon her knee;
How oft been petted into sleep,
Bycantle sung tome.
But that is past; 30 more again
In Grauny's chair I'll rock
That high back chair that used to squeak
And keep time with the clock
