KIssING.-The editress of the Weekly Her
aid, Thomson, Georgia, INDUCES herself in
the following provoking and tantalizing
strain
Well we reckon some folks would really
like to know what we thought of. Let's see.
In the first place, we thought what an alb
surd idea it is in man to ask lady to kiss
him, just as if he, the senseless being
thought the poor trembling little creature
was going to do it. The idea of man ask
ing for thing so easily obtainedl Why, it
is ridiculous and a man with the least par
ticle of brains would hoot at the idea. She'd
say not, till doomsday. And you, poor be-
lever, would forego the happiness of draw
ing nectar from that rosebud mouth, simply
because you were ignoramus enough to ask
for what you might have taken. There are
ten thousand ways to kiss girl without
asking the pleasure. Direct her attention
to something on the table; ask for book
you know to be there, and while she is there,
go with the affected purpose of helping her
to look for it; be particular to get at her
left side-do you need any more telling p
If you do, you do not deserve the kiss that
might be SO gracefully taken. A man who
would ask a kiss of fair maiden ought to
be tarred and feathered, as hearted
monster. Don't do it, don't for goodness
sake ask the girls to kiss you. Kiss them
if you want to, but do it like gentlemen
Kiss them if you can.

NEVADA CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY MORNING. MAY IS, 1860.

WHAT Is Sold FOR GOLD AND SILvER.-A
correspondent, writing to an exchange pa
per from New York, speaks of the frauds
perpetrated in the manufacture of gold and
silverware, even by the best jewellers. The
facts are obtained from a gentlemen EN-
ployed by the governmental in the assay Office,
New York. Nine-tenths of all the so call
ed gold ornaments, bracelets, pins, rings,
chains, etc., worn by both sexes, may be
fairly estimated to contain, on an average,
not over twenty per cent, of aeal gold.
Large lots of gold ornaments, estimated by
their owners at value of sixteen dollars
to the ounce, not unfrequently return a
twentieth, and seldom over tenth of their
supposed value. In the article of gold
watches the most enormous frauds are per-
petrated. Scarcely one in hundred of the
gold watches for sale in the stores, and so
prodigally worn by young America, is what
Il purports to be, or intrinsically worth ten
per cent above the cost of manufacture.
In the sale of silverware, the same decep-
tion is practiced, though not to so great an
extent. A large lot of tableware, lately
purchsed from an extensive Broadway deal
er, and guaranteed to contain ninety per
cent of silver, upon test showed defcien-
cy of twelve per cent below stated value.
In still another case, gentlemen deposited
| with a leading manufacturer of silterware
a quantity of Mexican dollars, to be made
into forks and spoons of specified value,
ninety per cent pure silver. Subsequent
examination proved fraud of nearly fifty
| per cent.

THE PAVEMENT OF LoSDoS.-The pave
ment of London is one of the greatest mar
vels of our time. 1t covers nearly 1900
acres, two-thirds whereof consists of what
may be called mosaic work, done in plain
style, and the other third of smooth tagging.
Such series of works far transcends in
quantity the Appian Way, which was the
wonder of Ancient Rome, and which cuts
but poor figure as contrasted with one of
our commonest streets. The ancient Con-
sular Way was but fifteen feet wide in the
main, and was filled in with blocks of all
shapes and sizes, Joined together and planed
only on the surface; the length of its devil
Gus course, from north to south of Italy,
was under 800 miles. The paved streets of
London number over 5000 and exceed 1000
miles in length

SINGULAR DEvELoPMENT.-Somet time early
in December last, family residing in this
county had child of some FIVE years of age,
who died, and on the next day was buried in
a neighboring graveyard. On the night
succeeding the sepulture of this child, its
mother had dream In regard to her lost
little one, that lay so heavily on her mind
that she would take no excuse nor be put
off, but the grave must be examined to see
if the child's remains were still there. She
had dreamed of seeing the child taken from
the grave, and although her husband went
and looked at the grave, and told her it
looked unchanged from the time they had
left it, still she insisted on a further exam
ination, and finally to satisfy his wife, and
without any faith in the reality of the
dream, the husband, in company with sew
eral neighbors, went to the graveyard
opened the grave, and then the little coffin;
and, judge of their surprise, all was there
except the mortal remains of the child -
1t was gone. We cannot consent to be
considered as believers in dreams, yet there
is something in this instance that will stag
ger the faith of the most incredulous, and
give them reason to doubt whether all the
visions we see when we are asleep are
phantoms or not. This is to us a most sim
gular case, and we know it to be true.-h-

PTccoLoMSI.-An English paper gives the
following account of Piccolomini's last ap-
pearance on the stage, and of her plans for
the future:
Piccolomini brought fortnights engage
ment in Dublin to a close by appearing for
her own benefit in the opera of /" Marta. -
She had for some days prior been laboring
under severe cold, and when the curtain
rose she came forward and said" Kind
friends! This may be the last time that
will ever appear before you. lam very ill,
indeed but have tried to come here to see
you again. can only sing very badly You
have always been very good to me-will you
pardon my faults tonight. shall do my
best" 1t is needless to say, observes the
writer, that this appeal was responded to
with the best feeling, and with loud ap-
plause. 1t was evident that Mile Piccolo-
mini did ado her best" Pics marriage
will take place in June. Like good little
girl, she has given all her professional earn
ings, about $1,000 it is said, to her pa
rents, which is none the less creditable be-
cause her betrothed has the spondulics in
profusion

THE MASUFACrURE OF MosAIcs.-The mo-
sale copies of celebrated pictures, which
are now the only ones which adorn the in
terror of ST. Peters, are far superior to the
ancient mosaics. The ancients, besides
their inferiority in painting, show no such
delicacy of shading, or such variety of col
oring as has been attained in modern times.
The material used for these mosaics is an
artificial stone, of which 10000 shades
are used No one but a real artist, howev-
er one might at first imagine, can excel in
such work. 1t was interesting enough to
see a workman with picture of enormous
size before him, working for hours in
the selection and fitting of one little
piece of stone into the mosaic which is to
be its copy. The large mosaics, eighteen
feet in height, which adorn st, Peters,
have some of them cost twenty-five years
of the labor of several artists. 1t seems to
me that rather than undertake so endless
and unproductive task, | would be the
slave of a silver mine-and yet the perfec-
tion of the work is wonderful. AT a little
distance it is impossible to tell it from an
oil painting, andi is next to indestructible
The mosaics of the Roman churches still
asst, while tthe churches themselves have
been changed in almost everything else
except solid walls.

WHAT CocKNEY SAYs.-E. P. Kingston,
an Englishman, residing in San Francisco,
writes to the Alta, concerning the reported
fight between Heenan and Sayers, says:
THE fight is stated to have taken place
at Finnborough, near Aldershott, and the
special train, with thousand persons,
starts from London Bridge Station. Now,
Aldershott is on the Southwestern Line,
and the station of that railway is in the
Waterloo Road, Waterloo Bridge. l have
been to Aldershott twenty times, and do not
know how I should reach it by going to
London Bridge. Neither the Brighton Line
nor the Southeastern, the Croydon nor the
North Kent, will take me TO it. Ny last visit
was to the Aldershott Camp, less than three
years ago, and have yet to know that AL
dershott has changed its position, or that
the southeastern rails now run to the south
west. Then, again, that big train, with a
thousand passengers would have taken a
few stray policemen to the ring, or else
know not what the police authorities were
doing.

TASTE FOR MIDNIGHT RAMBLING" Macaulay
had singular taste for walking through the
deserted streets of the great metropolis in the
dead of night when the citizens were fast asleep,
and all was hushed. Those were the hours he
used to remark,-for reflection and thought
when that utter loneliness which is peculiar at
midnight to great cities steals over the medita-
ting wayfarer, solitary, apparently, and alone in
the world. DIR. johnson possessed a similar
taste; and Chas. Dickens singularly fond of the
old city streets and alleys when they are emptied
OF the busy throng that fill them in the day
time"

THE FLOATING BATTERY-The New York
correspondent of the Charleston Mercury
writes
Strolling over to Hoboken the other day,
| learned that work is still being prosecuted
upon that immense mystery-the floating
battery-commencedb by the late Commodore
Stevens, on contract with the Government
This enigma is carefully fenced in from the
prying scrutiny of the public; and it is be-
lieved that no newspaper reporter has ever
found his way into the sacred inclosure.-
Rumor says that the battery is to be built
exclusively of iron, and that it will be strong
enough to stand the united broadsides of the
whole English feet, among which it will
glide at pleasure, propelled by steam,) and
pour its death volleys from hundreds of
portfolios. This battery has already been
seven or eight years in progress of con-
struction; nearly million of dollars have
been spent upon it, and it is yet nowhere
near completion. 1t is intended to be the
principal defence of the harbor.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY is, 1860.

A Coon SwIM.-Last evening a young man,
residing in South Memphis, whose maine We
could not learn, attempted to cross from this
proceeding about half the distance, the violence
of the wind caused his frail bark to upset, and
he was precipitnted into the water. His friends
on this side witnessed his unaYailing efforts to
right the skif, and two of them Immediately
proceeded to his relief. They cast loose another
skiff, but had proceeded only little way when
they, too, were overturned, and regained the
shore with difficulty. The young man, seeing the
hopelessness Of the efforts put forth to save him,
abandoned the skiff, and boldly struck out for
land. BY this time large crowd had gathered
on tho bluff, and no craft being at hand that
could be sent for the unlucky royGgeur, gave his
efforts to reach the shore intense an interest.
The wind was pretty stiff, to use a nautical e1-
preston, and the white-topped waves would
swell up and conceal the struggling man from
view, it was thought that he had given up in de-
spair-but, ever and anon, he would raise to the
surface, as it were, and strike out again, taking
diagonal course for the Tennessee shore. For
an hour and three quarters he breasted the waves,
stopping at intervals to '' float and rest HIM
self, and finally reached the land almost exhaus-
ued, two miles below the place he started from.
The shout that went up at his escape might have
been heard at that distance, and the young man,
after resting awhile, walked to his home, which
he reached about dark. He had accomplished q
feat which almost put to shame Byron's exploit
in swimming the Hellespont.-( Memphis Ava

RUMoRs OF INPEACHMEsT.-A letter from
Washington to the Philadelphia Inquirer,
dated April 10th, contains the following:
The Covode Investigation is daily bring
ing forth some new features. There is even
now some talk of an attempt being made to
impeach the President.
There have been but three attempted I'M
peachment cases since the formation of the
Government, and one of them-whch is re-
lied upon as precedent to govern action in
all future cases-is that one in which John
Randolph was Chairman of the House Com
mittee. In that case, like the present Co.
vode Investigating Committee there was a
preliminary examination, in reference to the
finding ofa probable cause for impeachment,
and when the Committee satisfied them
selves there was cause for impeachment,
they came into the House and asked for au-
thority to proceed in the case, with view
to frame articles of impeachment at the bar
of the Senate.
l understand that this precedent, notwith-
standing the puerile protest of the Presi-
dent, will be befollowed by Mr.. Covode's Com
| Committee, and after the examination of
two or three witnesses, the case will come
before the House to ask for power to inves-
tigate with reference to the presentment of
formal charges at the bar of the Senate
against the President
When the House decides that articles of
impeachment shall be preferred, then the
jurisdiction is changed from the Special
| Committee to the Committee on the Judi
ciary of which Mr.. Hickman is Chairman.

Senate is merely on a rumor, which has not
