the ordinary cups Of tho gslvanic hatterJ.
| This coil WAS invented somo ycarx since by

to grea.cr perfection 1'y Mr.. Rsfchic, Of Boston.
Il consists Of two coils of insulAted wire, an
exterior and interior coil, one Of Which con-
tains more than thirty miles length Of wire.
By 1neaus OF this coutrivance, the passage OF

to pass through the other, the intensity Of The
discharce IL not merely doubletl, but increased
many fold. Using this instrument In eonne

the ferry. crossed the river and came out as
supposed, about a mile above Yates old
house, As we approached the scene of NV
old experience, looked in vain for marked
change A small house had been built unon
the north side of the road, but within the old
paling, and near the river bank. there still
stood all that was ever built Of the great citv
OF latestown, the old cabin where the
Captain lived surrounded by his Digger de-
mestlcs' and where his pet bear attracted the
gaze OF passing travellers. A portion Of the
roof had fallen in, and like Tyre and sidon
its voices were hushed in silence-its glory
was entombed.
The old oaks were there, and except the
new house there was no change in the out
line of the city. l drove on and a few min
utes sufiiced to carry me through the silver
streets of Yatestown to my own magnificent
abortion of weath-the beautiful paper en-
porium of Oleepa. Alas the genius of the
place was Asleep a. The oak still stood, un.
der which my house was built, the trees
which afforded shade to Peter the hunter
and his girls, were still nodding to the breez-
es the river still flowed silently by the sites
of prospective warehouses, but there was not
a vestige of my old habitation, and the grass
was green where it stood and the Indians.
where were they all that was left was their
broken and fallen cabins, their council house
was only mound of earth, the grass grew
in their streets and on the fallen houses. and
like Balbec or Palmyra, nothing but ruins
was left TO tell the tale of its former ereat-
ness Except the disappearance of the Iudi-
ans, and of their primitive homes. the great
city of Oleepa-ever blended as it was with
the still greater one of Yatestown, looked as
it did before the surveyor run his chain to
mark out its streets, and. dear speculative
reader as the marks of the plough hath not
mared its surface, nor the vandal hand of
man erected zigzag Virginia fence around
its boundaries, there is just a good a chance
to lay out another city, there, as there was in
May, 1850 Suppose you try it on.
But old images came before me as I wander
ed over the ground at was here said to
my wife-pointing to spot of ground, chat
sat when old 0leepa asked me how many
wives had. When l told him only one b.
and then described how she was dressed, he
thought | was fool 10 lay out so much mon
ey on one woman: 1t was there fed the wo
man and her children, when they had lost
their all in the Sacramento flood 1t was here
that the tribe clustered around me to save
them from the terrible "steambota," !" with its
flaming mouth and here the simple.heart-
ed natives used to get up their dances for my
amusement. Here it was met the poor fell
low who lost his all on the Southern desert.
and was eleven months in getting in-who
had staid with u.s. "in our house there at
home" And mate, continued with fervor
if ever kissed a single - "Go away, you
wretch" and a slap was all got for that
reminisceHce.
Dear reader will you too give me slap
for my "reminiscences

The foreign correspondent of the New Or

whose crazy attachment to the cause of Papal

at Florence by stamping on the foot of the
Marquis and calling him a dog. A duel was
the consequence, ard the American, more
