The TIN MINES OF CALIFoRYIA.-We have
lately received specimens of rock contain
ing peroxide of tin--also, some of the ore
dressed by the "Miners' usual process" 1t
was taken from one of the veins situate in
the Temescal district, in the county of San
Bernardino. The hills are interlaced with
numerous veins very similar in appearance
on the surface. We have seen letter from
Dr. jackson, State Assayer of Massachusetts,,
stating that he found. on assaying some of
the rock from the "Cohalco mine, it con-
tanned 60! per cent. the metallic tun. DR..
Hewson, of this city, has also made repeat
ed assays from lot of two tuns brought to
San Francisco, which gave 81 Clio and 32a
per cent. Sufficient has been recently de-
yeloped of these mines to call the attention
of capitalists toward opening some of the
lodes, which can only be done at heavy
expenditure.
In no other part of the United States has
otin stone" been hitherto discovered in
fact, it is produced only in a few countries,
and the supply is estimated-say raised in
England, 1000 tuns; shipped to England
from the East Indies, China and Australia,
{the latter "stream tin" only,) 1000 tuns !;
from South America, 4, 500 tuns, and very
small quantity from the Continent of Eu-
rope.
The Temescal district would offer very
interesting field for an eminent geologist and
mineralogist. There are many veins of
black crystal formation, which, with the
9lode-stone of tin" as some term it indi-
cate in the vicinity tin-bearing region

THE BRONZE Door FOR THE CAPIroL.-A
letter from Rome, Italy, says, Rogers is
engaged here on bronze door for the cap
ital at Washington, which is to cost S25, 900.
The first scene represents Columbus before
the Council of Salamanca, unfolding his
great theory. In the second he is just set
ting out to seek royal aid. In the third he
is before the King and Queen, laboring to
convince them. Isabella leans forward, and
seems interested, but Ferdinand scarcely
deigns to hear the visionary enthusiast. In
the fourth he is confding his son to the care
of the monks, while his ships wait. In the
fifth he is landing in great state upon St.
Salvador. The sixth is at Hispaniola, where
one of the sailors is bringing an Indian girl
to the ship on his shoulder. The nexti is the
great navigators triumphal entry into Bar
celona on his return. In the succeeding
one he is about to be sent home from Cuba
in chains and disgrace. The last scene of
all is death. The priests have administered
to him the sacrament; one holds crucifix
for him to kiss; friends and attendants are
weeping around and the spirit of the dying
man is about to start on that last great voy-
age from which none return. In inches
surrounding these scenes are figures and
busts of various royal personages cotempo-
rary with Columbus, including Ferdinand
and Isabella, etc"

THE PRESIDENTS ORGAN on DoUGLAS.-The
Washington Constitution, organ of President
Buchanan, referring to the action at the
Charleston Convention, says:
One thing, nevertheless, seems to be
very decisively determined-nam that
the person whose pertinacious partisans have
caused all the difficulty at Charleston, can
not possibly be nominated for the Presidency
as the candidate of National Democratic
Convention. We need not now go into the
reasons for this conviction, which every
clear-headed man must possess, whether it
is agreeable to his wishes or not. We shall
not suggest what patriotism, what magma
nimity, what party fidelity, nay, what an
enlightened and sagacious self-nterest
dictates to that person, because our motives
would be misconstrued by scheming parti-
sans who care not for their party nor for the
country.
The idea that the great Democratic party
of the country-the party which has done
so much in the past and has so many bright
promises in the future-is to be sacrificed
to the self ambition of one man. is too alb
surd and prepoSterous to be entertained for
4 moment.
':Let our friends everywhere be of good
cheer, and with hearty good will go to
work to correct the errors and mistakes
which have brought us to the very verge of
ruin. Let etselhshness be rebuked, and vain
glorious boasting be made to hide its head
in shame and notification"

YANKEE SrYLB.-Colopel Sam. Colt, of
Hartford, Conn.,, the inventor of revolving
fire arms, lives in the most luxurious style
of any man in New England. In his grounds
he has range of glass houses more than
1900 feet in length, where, besides flower
ing plants and shrubs, are successfully cul-
tivated the winter through the fruits of the
tropics, and of our orchards. as well as the
choicest of our summer vegetables. A
friend who lately passed through them, tells
of the strawberries, pine apples, nectarines,
peaches, &C., which he saw ripening in
plenty and perfection, and in token of the
truth of his marvellous tale, he laid before
tour eyes a cucumber, cut at random from
the vine, which measured two feet lacking
one inch.

SEVEN REAsoX.-Thsre are seven reasons
why farmers are healthier than professional
men:
l. They work more and develop all the
leading muscles of the body.
2. They take exercise in the open air, and
breathe greater amount of oxygen.
8. Their food and drinks are commonly
less adulterated and far more simple.
4. They do not over-work their brain as
much as professional men.
5. They take their sleep commonly during
the hours of darkness, and do not try to
turn day into night.
6. They are not so ambitious, and conse-
quently do not wear themselves out so rap
idly in the contest of rivalry.
l. Their pleasures are simple and less ex-

PRoFITs OF SHEEP RAIsING.-The Santa
Cruz Ne'cs makes the following statement;
Six years ago Mr.. Hollister commenced with
but 500 sheep, no money, no land. Since
then he has sold over 100000 worth of
mutton, $50, 900 worth of wool, and now
owns 1000 sheep (including lambs) and
ranch of over 10000 acres, all paid for, and
yielding annually an increasing profit of
over $50, 900 per year. Such result from
so small a commencement seems almost fab
ulous, yet this statement is not only true,
but had not Mr.. Hollister lost about 81 {, 900
worth of cattle, which, in 1855, he sent to
the mines for sale, in charge of dishonest
man, the proceeds of his cattle and sheep
would have enabled him to pay for the
whole of the San Justo ranch, 80, 900 acres.
which he had bargained for. One half of
the ranch was then purchased by Messrs,
Flint & Bixhy, who now have over 81 900
sheep on it, and money at interest,

ORIGIN OF WEDDING RtYss.-The singular
custom of wearing wedding rings appears
to have taken its rise among the Romans
Before the celebration of their nuptials there
was meeting of friends at the house of the
lady's father, to settle articles of the mar
riage contract, when it was agreed that the
dowry should be paid down on the wedding
day or soon after. On this occasion there
was commonly feast, at the conclusion
of which the man gave to the woman, as
pledge, a ring, which she put on the fourth
finger.

SHIPPISG LUMBER TO THE Holy LAND
The business of shipping lumber to Pales
tine, proves very lucrative trade. A lum-
Der company at Savannah, Georgia, have
recently received an order for two hundred
thousand feet, to be shipped the present
spring, to Beyrout, in Syria. They are now
getting i. out on the line of the Gulf road,
and-will have it ready for shipment in the
course of few weeks. Portions of the
cargo are intended for Jerusalem and Da-
mascus The order is for the best heart
pine, entirely free from sap, and we presume
til to be used chiefly for building purposes.
There is something novel in the thought
that the palaces of the Holy Land are to
oe rebuilt with materials from the forests
of Georgia.

DLESEss.-Carlyle says: Nine-teuths of
the miseries and vices of manhood proceed
from idleness; with men of quick minds, to
whom it is especially pernicious, this habit
is commonly the fruit of many disappoint-
mcnts and schemes oft baffled and men
fail in their schemes not so much for the
want of the strength, as from the illdirec-
ton of it. The weakest living creature,
by concentrating his powers upon single
object, can accomplish something ; the
strongest, by dispensing his over many may
fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by
continued falling, bores its passage through
the hardest rock-the hasty torrent rushes
ever it and leaves no trace behind.

A NEW Vice-Regent of the Ladies Mount
Vernon Association is Mrs. Mary Chestnut,
the mother of the South Carolina Senator
This lady, now eighty-five years of age,
has the proud happiness of being able to
say what few living can say, that she had
personal acquaintance with Gen. Wash
ington. In the spring of 1889 Washington
visited Trenton, and was received with the
most enthusiastic demonstrations by the
people, and especially the ladies. A tri-
umphal arch was erected on the bridge
over the Assanpinck Creek, at the entrance
of which six young girls strewed flowers
before him and sang song of welcome.
One of these girls is now Mrs. Chestnut
And she who in the dawn of life sang the
song of triumphant welcome to "The He
ro," now in its wane joins those who are
endeavoring to pay the noblest of tributes
to that hero's memory.

ANCIENT GAUL.-The square piece of ter
ritory which we now call France was at one
time, not France at all. It's earliest recog-
milton by history is as Gallia, the land of
the Celts or Gael. These were tribe or
race originally springing from the farthest
east. Wild, brave, and impetuous, loving
war for the sake of glory and conquest /;
almost irresistible in attack, but greatly
disprited if their first dash was unsuccess-
full boastful in speech, variable in dispo-
sition, they bear an unmistakable resem-
blance to their lively and gallant successors
to the soil of France. What became of them
in the long series of years after their first
settlement, no-one can say. We can only
discover, in the darkness of savage life
that the original possessors of the land,
whoever they may have been, were driven
before the new comers; and found refuge
in the extreme west; that, after intervals
more or less prolonged, the colonizers
were Joined in their first acquisitions by
tribes of cognate descent from the north ;
and that, on one or two occasions, they
burst across the boundaries cf their still
unconsolidated dominion, and carried ter
ror and devastation to the walls of Rome
and the fertile lands of Greece Rome
fighting with her neighbors and crushed by
the barbarian numbers, was not able to ex-
pei them entirely from the lands uf Italy,
At the present time the French are as mix
ed a people as the English. But the Celtic
and Teuton admixture has failed to give
them stability of character.
