IInShiSh.

Hdshish, or hdSheeSh, is q resinous sub
stance, secreted in abundance by the hemp
plant, of Southern latitudes in the East II
possesses powerful narcotic and peculiar stim
ulatng properties For these properties it is
habitually INDUCED in by all classes in Tur-
key, Persia and India.
At the present time, when the conscious
ness of spiritual existence is fast becoming a
demonstrated truth, there is, perhaps, no
substance in the whole catalogue of narcotics
the effect of which becomes more interesting
than hashish and this chapter on hashish has
been prepared for the readers of the Banner,
for the reason that hashish, of ni! known sub
stances, is perhaps the most powerful acting
upon the human Organism, to open the spiri-
tual perception, and carry it beyond ordina-
ry boundaries of this life, into the world OF
spirits, the world of intense horrors or intense
delights, to behold light, beauty and immen-
sity yet unmeasured by the most active and
powerful conceptions Of man.
Hashish, administered in doses from one
half grain to ten grains generally produces
its peculiar effects in from two to four hours
1t is peculiar property of the effect of hash
ish, that there is not the slightest premoni
tion or creeping on of its influence, but, like
lightning, when it does come. it comes in all
its power. The "IIasheesh Eater" when in
iuenced by his first dose, said-"Ha what
means this sudden thrill ? shock, as if some
unmagined vital force, shoots, without warn
ing, through my entire frame, leaping to my
fingers ends, piercing my brain, startling me
till | almost spring from my chair"
1t varies much in different persons, in the
time it takes to produce effect Some require
much larger doses than Others The Hash.
eesh Eater" at one time swallowed 30 grains
This dose produced intense sensibility, and
visions of indescribable horror and brightness
and unutterable thirst. But to take so large
doses, it might excite insanity; and in very
large doses, like other narcotics, it is fatal
poison. Hashish is used in homeopathy, un-
der the name of CdnaabjS IndicuS for the
cure of insanity, which, when taken in health
in large Doses it is liable to produce.
A minute, under the influence of hashish,
seems more than an eternity. 1t makes one
feel rs large as the universe-infinite in size.
1t opens new life in new worlds: the soul is
thrilled with ecstacies of delight, and, on
some OCCASIONS with darkness and horror.
One of the more marked and certain effects
of hashish is to produce a distinct perception
of second self A person under its inhu
ence is perfectly conscious of two distinct ex-
stences which we may not improperly call
the physical and the spiritual.
1t produces the most brilliant and delight
full visions, makes one feel as if they walked
in air, or scared in space with still a con.
sciousness of walking the ea!th; it make:
everything appear immensely increased in
volume the faculties Of the mind are excited
to an unlimited degree 1t is the general eff
feet of hashish to throw the mind into that
condition which enables it to behold every
thing presenting images ofindiscribable beau
ty.-A. B. Chiid NJ d.

THE INNER CHAMBERS OF THE DEEP.-We e
hear and see fearful storms on the surface of
the ocean, in which great ships go down.
are there like connections in the cavernous
places where the sea hides its dead ? May
not the dense pillows there be even more
boisterous and wrathful? In lighter griefs.
the human face is distorted and suffused with
tears the heart heaves and the eyes start as
though constructing iron were pressing on the
brain But these outward signs do not be-
token the sublmity and intensity of wretch
edness. There are storms in the soul SO ter
rible that the body can give no index of the
conAict-as the walls of u castle stand silent
and unmoved while the lord is wrestling
with the destroying angel though they
would quiver with the light dance of the vas
sals, and reecho the gentlest song. May it
not be SO in the troubles Of ocean ? Perhaps
the great waves, crested with the wrecks OF
ships, and drowning men, are only the evi-
dence of the seas gathering anger; perhaps,
when its bosom is still, with not pulsation
to disturb the sleeping water fowl, huge mon
sters are driftod about and wrung to death
in the throes of oceans hidden agony.-1ri-

A HEROINE On Monday last young la
dy. residing on the lower Stockton road, was
returning home from this city in a buggy, ac
companied by gentleman, passing by way
of the river road. In crossing ditch on the
river road, one of the wheels getting cramp
ed in, the wear.iron was broken. The lady
and gentleman got out to inspect the condi-
ton of the vehicle the horse being hitched
meanwhile. Subsequently the horse was ta-
ken by the head by man Ga third party),
and the couple entered, the lady being
placed, for safety, on the side opposite the
broken wheel, but, before they had become
fairly seated, the hostler for the occasion re-
leased his hold of the bride, and the horse
started off with rush, throwing the gentle.
man out almost instanter The horse con-
tinued on the run for about a quarter of a
mile, when he concluded to stop, the lady,
meanwhile managing to gather up the reins
Fearing serious consequences, her companion
AMI others followed after the buggy with all
speed, and on reaching it found the lady sit
ting IN the vehicle. very composedly speak
ing gently to the horse, and the latter quite
quiet In nine cases out of ten, lady under
the circumstances, would died of fright in the
buggy or jumped or been thrown out and
had herneck broken. There is no better assur.
anee OF safety, in like cases, than presence of
mind.-Sdc UHion, We'd.

MRs. HYLAND-This unfortunate woman
was brought into the Recorders Court, yes
terdav. with her little child in her arms and
presenting a very pitiful appearance, to an
swer to a charge of keeping house of ILL
fame. The accusation was founded upon the
single circumstance that highly "respecta-
bic" individual was found in her house, in a
situation quite derogatory to his moral char
meter. a jury had been summoned to try
the case and was present. The case being
called up, the Recorder remarked that the
circumstances surrounding this affair were Of
u peculiar nature; that he believed, from
conversations had with the woman, that she
was in a mental condition which rendered
her irresponsible for her conduct; that she
was very poor; had been abused by her hus-
band and had suffered severe mental torture
and that he would take the responsibility
of dismissing the case. in order to have the
woman taken to the County Hospital and
provided for as pauper.
This decision gave evident satisfaction to
oil present. and was really generous and
praiseworthy proceeding

BRIGHr PRosPECTs.-Since the discovery of
gold i'll this portion of the Sierra Neyadas,
never have the prospects been more fatter-
ing. We have had more snow this winter
than has been our portion for years, and by
the quantity Of snow falling at this season
we form our estimate of the amount of water
which we will have for mining in the spring.
Taking it as an almost certain rule that the
greater amount of snow and rain we receive
in winter, the more ample the supply of wa
ter in the spring. we may truly look forward
to the approaching mining season with
bright hopes. More extensive preparations
are being made for mining in this place, st.

gings, and all the mining towns in the por-
ton of the county; than have ever been
known. All the tunnels that have been run
this season have prospected well. In many
cases, where branch tunnel and drifts have
been run, the miners have found pay dirt
where they had no expectation of finding it.
All the preparations for mining will be com.
pleted in couple of weeks, and the boys will
then havean opportunity to rest a short time
previous to engaging in their spring work

SToEPEL's "HnwATuA" Loss.-The St,
Louis correspondent of the Bulletin, says Mr..
Stoepel the husband Of Matilda Heron late
ly brought out in Boston his romantic sym
phony of Hiawatha, musical production set
to the words of Professor Longfellow's celo-
brated poem Of Hiawatha Mr.. Stoepel read
the connecting portions of the story, leaving
the execution of the musical parts to a strong
orchestra and corps Of Boston singers He
lost 5000 by its production. 1t is highly
praised, however, by the musical critics.

an unfortunate teamster and being the only
property he had in the world, excepting his
horses. 1t was all burnt up. and was a sore
loss to him. The fire occurred at about 2
o'clock Wednesday morning.

TRUE AS PREAcHIYG.-The Philadelphia
Evening Argus says: "No man can borrow
himself out Of debt. Ifyou wish for relief
you must work it You must make more
and spend less than you did while you were
running in debt You must wear homespun
instead of broadoloth, drink water instead Cf
champagne, and rise at four instead of seven.
Industry, frugality, economy-these are the
hand maids of wealth, and the sure sources
of relief A dollar earned is worth ten bor-
rowed, and dollar saved is better than
forty times its amount in useless gew-gaws.
Try our scheme, and see if it is not worth a
thousand banks and valuation laws"

da and Grass Valley, as we are informed, and
hopes were entertained of their capture We
learn that they passed through this city on
Tuesday morning, mounted as before.
