An English volunteer rife captain, desi-

TO an opening in the fence, large enough to
admit two persons, but no more to pass
abreast. Unfortunately, he could not re-
member the words of command, which
would have accomplished the difficult task
Of filing through; but bis ingenuity did not
desert him, and be therefore ordered halt,

Couldn't Go It.

In the winter of 1857, about midnight, a
passenger, with carpet sack in one hand
and heavy shawl in the other, entered the
fremont House, in Chicago. Walking d.

presided at the pesk. 1, being late at night,

Literary Notice.

One Of the most interesting and useful
publications which comes 10 our sanctum is
the Scientific american, weekly publica.
ton, devoted to popular science. new invef.
tions, and the whole range Of mechanical and
manufacturing arts. The Scientific Ameri.
can has been published for fifteen years, by
the well known Patent Solicitors, Messrs.
Mum 4, Co., 81 Park Row, New York; and
has yearly increased in interest and circula-
ton, until it has attained, we understand,
nearly 10000 subscribers, which is the best
of evidence that the publication is appreciat.
ed by the rea!ing public.
TO those of our readers who may not be
familiar with the character of the paper, we
will state some Of the subjects Of which it
trates. Its illustrated descriptions Of all the
most importan: improvements in steam and
agricultural machinery, will commend it to
the Engineer and Farmer, while the new
household inventions and shop tools which
are illustrated by engravngs and described
in its columns, with the practical receipts
contained in every number, renders the v ork
desirable to housekeepers, and almost indes-
pensable to every mechanic or smith who has
a shop for manufacturing new work, or re-

ness connected with patents. The Official
list of Claims, as issued weekly from the
Patent Office, in Washington, is published
regularly in its columns. All the most i'm
portant Patents issued by the United States
Patent Office are illustrated and described on
its pages, thus forming an universal history
OF American inventions.

ANTIQUITY OF MAN.-From observations
made BY English and French naturalsts in
the valley of Somme, France, it would seem
as if many was an inhahitant of the earth

todon, Siberian elephant and the extinct rhi-
noceres-roamed through European forests.
1t has hitherto been held by geologists that
those animals were all extinct before man
appeared on the globe; but l 400 manufac
tured articles of fl Mt and human teeth have
been found with their remains, in situations
indicating that man was their cotemporarv.

ZouAvEs are getting to be very common
all over the country. In every town Of any

each others backs, turning somersaults in the

from the confines Of Texas contains notice to
the Zouave Cadets to assemble for drill. and
calls upon all the young men Of the Town

and chewing tobacco, to join the corps We
hear Of similar organizations all through the
South, West and Southwest. In New York
they have half dozen Zouave corps on the
taps, and the only hope is that they will not
get fighting among themselves for precedence.
In Albany, General Frederick Townsend, the
Adjutant General of the State, is to com

and will doubtless soon rival Col Ellsworth,
of Chicago, in his brilliant reputation for
discipline.

Our Manufacturing Resources.

Everything that promises to promote the
manufacturing interests Of our young State
is deserving Of the closest attention and full
est investigation, with view t. bring the
permanent resources of the country promi
nently before the world. That the climate
and soil of California are adapted to the pro.
duction of all the necessities of mankind and
many Of the luxuries of life, has been suffi.
cienty demonstrated; but it is not enough
TO know that we possess abundant means to
sustain population. The future importance
OF California will depend in great measure
upon its manufacturing resources. We are
not among those who think, or affect TO be,
lieve, that the mineral wealth of the country
is in danger of being exhausted; but it must
be conceded that The mines will not always
afford remunerative employment to labor
without capital. A fortune made in day
by stumbling upon rich p acer or plethoric
"boulder," will probably be among the rare
occurrences # 1870. But there are other
sources of wealth to be developed, to secure
steady and healthy progress in all the Sc
ditions that contribute 70 the welfare of the
State. The most gratifying success has at
tended our experiments in wool growing;
and already :he manufacture Of tie coarser
kind Of woolen goods has become an import
ant item Of Our home product; and there can
be no reason to doubt the success of our
manufacturers in the production of The finest
les, so soon rs the demands Of trade shall
warrant the undertaking. II is found also
by careful experiment, that California pos
sesses in remarkable degree the means for
the cultivation of the silk worm; indeed, it
is claimed that better quality Of silk may
be produced here than in the mos. favored
localities in Europe, and at far less cost, and
it is shown that to the peculiar qualities of
our climate is to be attributed this very i'm
portant fact. We are told that in Europe
the Lest silk crops sustain loss of hiry per
cent, and during seasons of frequent storms
Of thunder and lightning the loss is not un-
frequently eighty per cent. Thunder and
lightning appear to be the great bug bear OF
the silk raiser In California, the silk worm
enjoys almost perfect immunity from such
danger, and as the food-the mulberry tree
is a native of the country, it is evident that
the claims Of California as a silk. producing
country well founded. From all the facts
before us, we are inclined to the belief that
our State is designed to rival the rest of the
world in the production Of the finest silks.

GARABALDI AN INDIAN.-Garibaldi, by
turns has been claimed as a eountrymen by
the Scotchmen, Irishmen, Spaniards, and
several other "peoples;" but newspaper
called the L'Orde published at Montreal, has
discovered that the great chieftan is a Cana
dian Indian. Here's the proof: In the year
1912, noted Iroqnois chief, named Cara.
baldeh (signifying mighty in wary emf
grated from western New York to Lower
Canada. He had several sons, the oldest
called Joseph, who was called by the French
inhabitants who could not pronounce the
Iroquois correctly. Garibald. In the year
1920. old Garrbaldeh died, and Joseph was
prevailed upon by priest to accompany him
to Italy. He was educated by the priest
and received Giuseppe as name instead o
Garibaldi. This information was received
from Francis Garrabaldeh, at present resid
ing at Sorel, with whom the great Genera
constantly corresponds. Persons still hav
ing doubts on this important matter car
satisfy themselves by applying to Francis, al
Sorel. 1t can no longer be said that Canada
has not produced one great man.

CHINESE SLAVERY IN PERU.-Thtre are
twenty thousand Chinese slaves now in Peru,
and the demand continues The last cargo
of these coolies was landed about mouth
since, and they sold for four hundred dollars
each; the term of service being eight years;
the wages four dollars month; two suits of
clothes in the year, and two pounds Of rice
per day. 1t costs the trader about thirty
five dollars to land a Chinaman on the coast,
and as he is pretty certain of getting three
or four hundred dollars for him, the profits
are enormous The Cinnamon are indured
to leave their country by small advance of
money-a fortune in their eyes-for man is
the cheapest production in the Celestial Elm
pire, and labor is worth but little to him
there. To this small sum of money the
agent adds a judicious mixture of extrava-
giant promises for the future in the new land
How many Of these promises are fulfilled
may be judged by the number Of Cinnamon
who commit suicide. A man who lived at
the Chincha Islands few years ago cited an
instance of seventeen Of these unfortunates
hanging themselves in one night in the same
room.

hat of straw, formed like that of mans,
with no rim save that of turned up edge;
net which, hanging down upon the shoulders,
contains the hair; neat snuff colored cloak,
and pretty little kid boots, complete the cos
tune, the effect of which is charmingly
heightened by the long feathers or p'umes
which gracefully swing off the girls look

flirting, particularly with old married people

China.

A writer thus undertakes to convey some
idea of the greatness of its population:
"rhe mind cannot grasp the real import
Of so vast number. -Four hundred MiU-
ions! What does it mean? Count it. Night
and day, without rest, or food, or sleep,
you continue the weary work; yet eleven
days has passed before you have counted the
first million, and more than as many years
before the end of the tedious task can be
reached. He also su, poses this mighty
multitude to take up its line Of march in a
grand procession, placed in single file at six
feet apart, and march at the rate Of thirty
miles day, except on the Sabbath, which is
given to rest. DAY after day the moving
column advances, the head pushing on far
toward the rising sun, now bridge the Pa
cifc, now bridge the Atlantic. And now
the Pacific is crossed, but still the long
procession marches on, stretchi. e away
across high mountains, and sunny plains,
and broad rivers, through China and India,
and the European kingdoms, and on again
over the stormy bosom of the Atlantic. But
the circuit Of the wold itself affords not
standing room. The endless column will
double upon itself, and double again and
again, and shall girdle the earth eighteen
times before the great reservoir which fur
nishes these numlerIess multitudes is ex.
haus' ed. Weeks and months and years roll
away and still they come, men, wcmen and
children. Since the march began, the little
child has become a man, and yet on they
come, in unfaing numbers. Not ill the
forty one gears will the last of the process
si' have passed.
Such is China in its population; and if
Homer could preach eloqnen'ly on the vani
ty Of man as mortal with equal eloquence,
had he seen or contemplated the millions Of
China, could he have preached on the vanity
of man as an Individual.

Kissing.

The editress of the Thompson, Ga,
Weekly Herald INDUCES herself in the fol-
lowing provoking and tantalizing strain.
frWeII, we reckon some folks would real
" like to know what we thought. Let's
see. In the first place, We thought what
an absurd idea it is in man TO ask lady
70 kiss him. Just as if he, the senseless
being, thought the poor trembling little
creature was going to do il. The idea of a
man asking for thing SO easily obtained
Why. it is ridiculous! anda man with the
least particle of brains would boot at the
idea. She'd say no,9 till doomsday. And
you, poor believer, would forego the haPPi-
ness of drawing nectar from that rosebud
mouth, because you were an ignoram-
us TO ask for what you might have taken.
There are ten thousand ways to kiss girl
without asking the pleasure. Direct her
attention 10 something on the table: ask for
a book you know TO be there, go With the
affected purpose of helping her to look for
it; be particular to get at the left side-do
you need any more telling? Ifyou do, you
do not deserve the kiss that might be SO
gracefully taken. A man who would ask
a kiss of a fair maiden ought to be rode on
q rail as a craven hearted monster. Don't
do it, don't for goodness sake, ask the girls
to kiss you. Kiss then if you went to, bat
do it like gentlemen. Kiss them if you
can.
