Bets OFFERED ON MlssoURL-A citizen of
the town of Louisiana, in Missouri, writes as
follows from that place to the Philadelphia
Press, under date of September 10th:
have yet to meet an intelligent man out
side the ranks of the Boilers, who believes
that there are 10000 Breckenridge voters in
the State of Missouri | doubt exceedingly
whether there 10000.
do not approve of betting upon elections.
and rarely make such bets, and never for any
large amount. But, notwithstanding my OBJ
jections, make this proposition upon the au
thority of a gentleman of this place, who
has the means with which to bet, and no
scruples of conscience in such matters. (espe-
eially when he wins, as he usually does.) The
proposition is to bet
$1,000 that Breckenridge does not get
"four fifths" of the Democratic vote of Mis-
souri,
$1,000 that Douglas will receive more
votes in the State than Breckinridge
$1,000 that Douglas will carry the State OF
Missouri against all his competitors, and
$1,000 that full three fourths of the De-
mocracy of Missouri will cast their votes for
Douglas in November"

The GRAND RALLY.-The Republicans, last
night, by hook and by crook, got up pro-
cession of about 3OO-they estimate it at
l,500l-who marched through the streets
with considerable parade, and finally halted
in front of the Western, where they we're ad-
dressed by Weeks, Tingley and others
Weeks was the big gun of the evening, and
made an ad captandum speech, which was
laughed at, but otherwise had no particular
effect upon the crowd.
Mr. Tingly spoke afterwards, but the crowd
had dwindled down to quite a small number.
Inc procession, considering that half of it
was from Butte and Sutter counties. did not
amount TO much as indicating the strength of
the Republicans in Yuba County.

A JOURNEY UNDER PARIS.

A correspondent of a Swedish journal furnishes
an interesting account of q subterranean VOYAGE
made though one of the admirably constructed
sewers of Paris. The boat which conveyed the
party was reached by descending Il flight of steps
to the depth of about ~forty-fVe feet. The boat, a
fst'5ottomed affair, was lighted by four lamps.
The sewer is an a~rchway, fifteen feet high, and of
equal breadth, with a ditch of canal about ten feet
wide, wherein all the dirt and filth of Paris is car
ried away. On the sides are sidewalks, which to-
gether arc about four feet wide. The whole is
built Of beautiful sandstone, and is kept remarka-
bly, neat and clean. No stencil or bad smell was
perceptible. The denser. portion of the filth is
carried away through large drains beneath the
sidewalks.
The sidewalks are excellent, and exhibit no
signs of lam pness, while the walls of tho arch.
way are kept whitewashed, and are at all times as
white as the driven snow. The structure possesses
the properties of an immense speaking tube, the
workmen being able to converse at the distarco of
'wo miles from each other. The echo is very strong
and lasting. The fabric is said to be built after a
model of the catacombs Of Rome, aided by all the
latest Improvements. On both sides, at about two
hundred yards distance from one another, are
openings through which the workmen can ascend
BY means of permanent iron ladders, in case a
sudden rain storm should cause the wafer to rise
over the sidewalks, which is, however, of rare &C.
.currence.
The contents of the sewer of course flow into
the river Seine, and the current is sufficient to
carry the boat used along with considerable veloc-
.ity. Large reservoirs are constructed at intervals.
into which the water can be turned for a short
time in case it should be Necessary to have the
canal dry for a little while. The whole WORK was
completed in two years. Besides the main canal
there are many minor ones constructed under the
principal streets, all of which can be made TO
communicate with one another. These admirable
underground works are accessible from the Lou
Vre, the Tuilleries, and from all the barracks; and
should Parisiaus take a notion to barricade the
streets in any part Of the city, the Imperial Gov
eminent might, at short notice and without apv
person being aware of it, transport troops; and if
there is time to make use of tho reservoir, so can
cavalry also be transported the same way. There
is an end to shooting on the soldiers from the win
dows, and a revolution in Paris will only be re.
membcred am0ng things that have been, never to
occur again.

a REGULAR CHINESE FEAST.

At Ching, a wealthy Chinese merchant of San
Francisco, recently gave IA dinner to some of the
prominent citizens, consisting of fourteen courses.
Oh the bird nests course, etc., the San Francisco
Herald says:-
The eleventh course consisted of the famed birds
nests, worth their weight in gold in China. These
nests, are built by a species of swallow found ia
the India seas, particularly in the island Of Suma-
ira. The nest is the shape of q common swallo s
nest,is about the size of a soOse's egg, and has she
appearance of fbrous, imper!ectly concocted ism
glass, The substance of which it is composed is
not known, but it is supposed to be the spawn of
fishes, gathered by the bird, or q secretian elabor-
ated from the body of the swallow. The finest are
those gathered before the young swallows are
Matched, ct which time they are pure and white.
These nosts are found in caverus and almost mac
cessible places, rendering it impossible for any
one to collect them who has not been regularly
brought up to the business. After the birds nest
dish, a sharks fins, a,great delicacy with the Chi
ncse, was placed on the table. 1t had a rank,
musty favor by no means palatable to Outside bar
barlans. Another course Of some Chinese prepar-
atoms, and the last one, consisting of stewed duck
wound up the meats, making fourteen course, in
all.
Then came the dessert, consisting of Chinese
cakes, jellies and pates of different kinds ak Of
which were served up at one time. The bread
consisted of two kinds, one in small loaves, about
as large and looking just like a moderate
seized, freshly peeled mushroom. They are ex-
%quisitely white and light. The other sort Of bread
was in Ioaves of the same shape, only about four
times larger. On being broken open a thin plastic
covering made Of -four, peeled off and revealed the
light and snowy bread, baked in layers which de,
tached from each other like seperate pancakes,
Both of these sorts of bread were slightly sweet.

CURE FOR CANCER.

at ought to be universally known,"-Our at
tention has been recently called to a euro for can
Gers, which is Of SO much Importance that we wish
70 make 1t known, as widely as possible. SomC
eight months ago, Mr.. I. b.. Mason, who keeps q
music store on Wisconsin street, and lie a brother
OF The woll-known Lowell Mason, ascerlained that
be had a cancer on his face of the size of n pea.
1t was cut out by DR.. Wolcot., and the wound par.
italy healed. subsequently it grew again, and
while he was in Cincinnati on business. il attained
the size OF a hickory nut. lie has remained there
since Christmas under treatment, and has come
back perfectly cured. The process is this:-
Il piece OF sticking plaster was put over the
cancer, with a circular piece cut out the centre a
little larger than the cancer, SO that the cancer,
and a small circular lin Of healthy skin next TO
it, was exposed. Then a plaster made of cloridc
OF zine, bloodroot and wheat -four, was spread on
a piece II muslin of the size Of this circular open-
ing, and applied to the cancer for twenty.four
hours. On removing it the cancer will BE found
to be burnt into, and appear of The color and hard
ness OF an old shoe sole, and the circular rim out
side oil 1t will appear white aad parboiled, as If
scalded by hot steam. The wound is now dressed.
and the outside rim soon separates, and the cancer
comes out q hard lump, when the place heals up.
The plaster kills the cancer, 50 that it sloughs out
like dead flesh, and never grows again. This rem
edy was discovered by DR.. Fell, Of London, and
has been used by him for six or eigh. years, with
unfailing success and not a case has been known
Of the temperance of the cancer, where this rem
edy has been applied. 1t has tho sanction Of the
most eminent physicians and surgeons Of London,
but has moi, till very recently, been used to any
extent, in this country, and many of the faculty,
with their proverbial opposition to innovations,
look upon it with distrust. We saw Mr.. Mason
yesterday, and have since conversed with him, and
took particular notice Of tho cicatrized wound
and we can only say, that if tho cure is permanent
and from the evidence Of six or eight years ex-
perience in other cases, we have no doubt it is
the remedy ought to be universally known. We
referred to this case, because Mr.. Mason is we'll
known both here and at the East. The experi-
ment excited much interest in Cincinnati, and we
cal! the attention of the faculty in this State to the
remedy. If it is what is claimed for it, this terri
bio disease will be shOrn of most of its terrors.
The application is painful, but the pain is of COM
psratively briet duration, which any one 80 afiict-
would cheerluily endure.-M l,oaukee Free Demo-
crdt.

With his eyes so bright,
Ard his wool 80 white
Oh, he is my darling, my hearts delight.

That sings on the tree,
Dearly may dole on bis darlings four;
But | love my one little lamkin more"
SO the mother-sheer, and the liulC one,
Side by side, lay down ia the sun,
And thoy went to sleep on tho hillside warm,
While my little laminie lies on my arm.
] went TO the kitchen. sad whas did | see
But the old grey eat and her kittens three

'My kittens, with tails AL cnnninkly cutlod,

And the old eve, she,
May love their babes exceedingly;

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.

In Assuming the control of the Atlantic Month,
ly, its ew prOprietors deem it scarcely needfui
70 spend many words in ASSURANCES or promises.
The congratulations aud goou wishes they have
received from all parts of the country seem 10 ms
tify them in the confidence that their own char
acter as publishers will be accepted by the numsr-
Gus readers and friends of the Magazine as a war.
rant that they will do everything in their power TO
increase its interest, to enlarge its circle OF attrsc-
ton, and to raise its standard of ability in ell
departments.
They think it proper to say, simply, that re
change will be made in the general character Of
the magazine; that all the writer's whose contribu.
tions have established it in the popular favor will
continue to make it their medium of CommunlcA.
ton with tie public; and that the relations Of the
publishers with authors on both sides the Atlantic
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest. and value Of its pages.
The Atlantic has never been, and will never be,
o sectional journal. Its publishers acknC wledRs
no parallels Of latitude in the Republic of LetterGs
and, while they will judge Of any article offered
them, not by the source whence it comes, bnt by
its own intrinsic worth, they will at the same time
endeavor to maintain its character as q periodical
ia which earnest thinkers may find expression,
~unhampered by fear of that narrow censorship
which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would lain establish.

five cents a number. Upon the receipt of the sub
