Lfquia Quartz.

A year or so since. Dr.. Benjamin Hard
inge aunouced that he bad discov cred Q
method of reducing quartz to liquid state.
which. after short exposure to the air,
would again change to its natural state.
We had entirely lost track Of the Doctor and
his Ingenious invention. till our eye fell up
on the following. taken from an Atlantic
paper:
1T is applied like paint and varnsh and
soon returns to is original hardness by the
action OF the air. II can be used In any
color on the wall. OF houses, churches, thea
tres aud all buildings and makes them fire
proof. II can be applied to curtains and all
kinds Of paper. and makes them uni ninfanma-
BILE Il oan be dissolved in water and make
cement that is water proof, 1t can be
made in any form, size, shape or color. II
can assume the form and color Of any Of the
precious stones. 1t will make sandstone as
sol Id Jas marble, and statues, busts and
columns OF any size can be made, and col
umns Of any size form and appearance, to
initiate marble Of any color desired.-The en-
vention is in the hands OF companey and
will be soon brought out A similar inven-
tion under the name Of liquid marble, 10 said
to have been made by II. Jobard. OF Brus-
sells, Belgi am. Tha invention has created
great sensation amoung artists. 1t can be
noulded on the plaster figure, and thus, in
stead Of having to hack and hew the shape
less block with great pains and labor, the
artist will henceforth realize the genuine
impression OF his cast at once, and, with
scarcely apy other exertion, bring out his
creation with all the freshness and vigor Of
the first idea.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION OF MIIrox's FAKE.
William Winstantlyf in his - Lives Of the
Poets from the Conquest Of James the H.
says
John Milton was one whose natural
parts might deservedly give him place
among the principal of our English poets
having written two heroic poems and ira
gedy, namely /; Paradise Lost, Paradise Re-
gained and Sampson Agoniste. But his
fame is gone out like a candle in snuff. and
his memory will always stink. which might
have ever lived in honorable repute. had not
he been notorious traitor. and most impi-
ously and villainously betrayed the blessed
martyr, King Charles the First"

REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.

Pursuant to published olll, the citizens
Of Neva da met at the Court House 10 that
place on Saturday evening last to make
some public demonstration with regard TO
the feelings Of the citizens OF that place with
reference to the proposed removal Of the
State Capital from Sacramento. G. W.
Whitman was appointed chairman and y. p.
Brown SECRETARY.
The following resolutions, offered by
Henry Meredith. we're unanimously adopted:
Reseiued, That we believe the removal Of
the Capital from Sacramento to San Fran
cisco to be fraught with evil to the best in
terest of the people Of this State-as likely
to prolong legislative sessions ; 10 corrupt
Legislation to transfer the legitimate right
Of control and influence from the Mining and
agricultural population and interests over to
capitalists and Observation-Disclosures
a. likely to concentrate political power in a
large city to q degree dangerous to the COM
mon welfare-iu one in which the Govern
ment or official authority OF the State may
time be driven away or prostrated by enc
mics invading us from abroad, or by vigi,
lance mobs at home.
Resolved, That we deem it not only an
act Of public policy, but Of justice, that the
Capital shsula remain at Sacramento city
and that wisdom aud economy unite In call
Ing for an immediate appropriation Of th'
public money sufficient to erect Capito
building, at the same time ample enough TO
the wants. and in keeping with the eredi
aud character Of this State.
Resolved, That the Senators and Assem-
blymen from the county of Nevada. a, re-
presentatives OF one of the largest tux-pay-
ing aud most pepulous counties of Califor'
mia, be requested TO carry cut, with the best
of their ability, tha foregoing resolves.
