A FINALE INCENDIARY.-A notorious woman
named Mary Andrews, attempted to fire dwell
ling at San Francisco, on Monday evening,
January 3Oth. She took some light cotton ar
tieles, and, setting them on fire, threw them in
to narrow alley, between two houses; and but
for their timely discovery disastrous conna-
grafton would have followed, all the houses in
the neighborhOod being of the most infamable
material. She was arrested and locked mp, as
q matter Of course. Her offense being one Of
the gravest known to the law, she will, doubt
less, have ample opportunity to reflect on the
folly Of such conduct

TIE DEAD OF 1859.-The year just passed
away has been remarkable for the number OF
distinguished men who, in its course have
ceased their earthly labOrs All countries and
avoeations have contributed TO swell the list Of
the departed. That prince OF modern scholars,
the illustrious Humboldt, has been followed
into the realms OF infinite light by such con-
genial, though humber Students as Professor
Olmstead, DR.. Abbott, and Horace Mann. His
tory loses the immortal names Of Hallam, Pres
colt and Irving-the last being also an irrepar-
able loss to general literature, which has like
wise been deprived Of DeQoincey, Leigh Hunt
Robert Walsh and Lady Morgan. From polltl-
cal life have departed Prince Metternich
Richard Rush and Senator Broderck. The law
loses Rufus Choate and Counsellor Phillips.
The modern science of engineering loses two
OF its brightest ornaments in Robert Stephenson
and |. K Brunei. Among the others whose
departure is felt by the public may be mem
toned DR.. Nichols and DR.. Kendall. divines (;
Joseph Surge and Sir Jamsetee Jeejeebhoy,
philautbropists I. K. Hervey, poet; Madam
Boso, singer; and Charles Leslie, painter.

ONE MORE INSTRUMENTATION the 26th Of
December, says the Arizonian, during the recent
explorations Of Col Gray, TO the Gila river, the
mains OF some unknown traveller were discovered
near a spring, called the "Ajo Verde" Two brown
blankets, somewhat used, were lying on the ground
near the spring, having bullet hole through it,
and considerable clotted blood was part Of the
other. A clean hickory shirt rested on bush few
yards off, and small brown clay pipe with turkey
bone stem, was picked up near BY A few feet from
the spring was pile Of sticks and the ashes Of a
fire apparently made only few days before. Several
Of the bones were lying about, but almost the entire
body had been made way with by the wolves. The
hair Of the unfortunate person was entangled on a
bush, where the body must have lain, the fire,
when first discovered by the cayotes. From an ex-
animation Of his hair and pipe, by a gentleman from
Fort Yuma, the unfortunate man is supposed TO be
a Texan, by the name Of Shays, on his way TO his
native State from California. He had with him
about four hundred and fifty dollars upon reaching
the fort, and was doubtless murdered by some one
to whom he had inoautiously shown it.

NEVADA DEMOCRAT,

REMovAr OF THE CAPITAL TO SAN FRAScIsco.-
It would appear that the citizens Of San Fran
cisco are seriously at work to induce the Leg
islatures to remove the State Capital to that
city. Over nve hundred and fifty Of the prin-
sipal property owners of the Bay ciTy have Pc
titioned the Board of Supervisors to appropri-
ate $l5o 900 for the erectionlof State House,
and the donation of public square to the State
for Capital ground. The list Of petitioners
embraces large majority Of the leading mer-
camille firms San Francisco has never hereto
fore put forth its claims for the State Capital,
but her citizens appear to be making vigorous
effort now.

ENGLAND EIGHTY YEARS SINcE.-Leisure is
gone--gone where the spinning wheels are
gone, and the pack-horses, and the slow-wag-
ons and the pedlars who brought bargains to
the doors on sunny afternoons. Ingenious phi
losophers tell you, perhaps, that the great work
Of the steam engine is to create leisure for
mankind Do not believe them it only creates
q vacuum for eager thought TO rush in. Even
ideness is eager now-eager for amusement,
prone to excursion trains, art museums, period
icals literature, and exciting novels; prone to
scientific theorizing and oursory peeps through
microscopes. Old Leisure was quite different
parsonage he only read one newspaper inno-
cent Of leaders, and was free from the periodic
ity Of sensations which we call past-time. He
was contemplative, rather stout old gentle
man, of excellent digestion of quiet pereep-
tons undseased by hypothesis; happy in his
inability to knowthe causes Of things, prefeFing
the things themselves.
He lived chiefly in the country, among the
pleasant seats and homesteads, aud was fond Of
sauntering by the fruit tree walls, and scenting
the apricots when they were warmed by the
morning sunshine, or sheltering himself under
the orchard boughs at noon when the summer
pears were falling. He knew nothing Of week
day services and thought none the worse of the
sermon If it allowed him to sleep from tho text
to the blessiog liking the afternoon service
best because the prayers were the shortest, and
not ashamed to cay 80, for he had an easy. jolly
conscience, broad-backed, like himself, and able
to carry great deal Of beer and port wine, not
being made squeamish by doubts, and qualms,
and lofty aspirations. Life was not a task to
him. but sinecure he fingered the guineas In
bis pocket, and ate his dinners, and slept the
sleep of the irresponsible-for has be rot kept
up bis character by going to church on Sunday
afternoons? Fine old Leisure Do not be Sc
we're upon him, and judge him by our modern
standard. He never went to Exeter Hall, or
heard popular preacher, or read tracts for the
times, or Sartor Resartus.-Adan1 Bede.

MACHINE FOR SAVING FINE GoLD.-Mr. w. +.
Truel, of Marysyille has invented a machine for
saving fine gold, which is thus described by the Ex-
press:
1t consists of a frame, say four feet long, about
the same in hight, and three feet widc On the top
Of this frame is placed rifle, santing sufficiently
for the gravel to pass off, and this rifle rests the
suice box, which may be adjusted according to the
quantity OF water used The surface Of the rifle is
straight with apertures extending entirely across,
three-eights Of an inch apart. The water, small
gravel, gold, &C., pass through this open rille and
then reverses its direction, passing over pan or
reservoir, and thence over ovcrshot wheel to the
ground. The pan is about four inches deep. Over
this pan is suspended rake, having several OF
teeth so arranged as to keep the entire deposit in
the pan continually stirred up The water passing
over the wheel sets It in notion and the wheel being
connected with the rake, it to move back and
forth over the pan. The principle is exceedingly
simple. The water dirt and gravel pass through the
rifle whilst the larger gravel passes over the tail to
the ground. After passing through the rifle the
water changes its direction and passes into the pan,
with the sand and gold. The teeth of the rake form
an eddy whereby the gold will have an opportunity
to sink to the bottom, while, by the action Of the
teeth, the dirt is kept stirred up sufficiently to pass
off with the water. The great feature Of the ma
chine is that it may be run with very little water.
Mr. True has obtained cayeat for his invention,
and is about applying for patent.

CLIMATIC CHANaEs.-That climates of different
countries change emigration flows in or recedes,
and as the great worker, Nature, wills it, is gene
rally acccded fact, Civilization, definitely
speaking, the great influx of emigration not only
appears to have its effect upon the climate but it
forms kind Of panacea for many of the maladies
indigenous to a country. Particularly is this fact
observable in the Mississippi Valley; many an old
pioneer in the western country will tell you in sor-
rowu tones Of the ravages of evers and of the ague.
You will hear from those time-honored heroes that
year after year western epidemics made their APP
pearance at particular season. and carried away
the victims who were easily numbered in sparsely
settled country. You will learn that the diseases
incident to an unsettled land disappeared as emf
grafton came in. To-day, in many parts of Minne-
sofa, may be found prosperous and hale towns and
villages that once the centers of disease and
death. In this hourishing young State, Minnesota,
there are thriving cities which only few years since
were deserted by eastern coonists who left all their
possessions to seek health. But Of changes of cl-
mate we would write; California has undergone as
great climatic changes, perhaps, within few years
as any country on the globe. Although the "rainy
season" is now looked for with as many glad anti
cipations as in olden times, and the "dry spell"
brings with it many gloomy fears as usual, we
must admit the advent OF these weather changes is
more irregular than in former years. Rain falls in
midsummer, thunder storms occasionally occur, and
sunlight strays down through stom-freighted clouds
without attracting any undue attention. Snow storms
in the mountains less frequent and less violent
(f make the honorable exception of last winter)
than some of which the "forty could tell. As
the heavy SHOWS have been making their retreat,
cold, freezing weather appears to have made its en-
trance. Much Of the weather in this high region,
this winter would serve to remind one Of the winter
days he spent in colder CLINE than would wish
to find this side Of the Pacific. There is of course
reason, besides the mentioned in the first part
of this article, for these climatic changes-one not
befogged and mistefed with the twaddle of too much
erudition-and we would like to obtain it.-Mothl-
tain Messenger,

'VATcAN"-Many who see this word may
not understand ts import. It is pile Of build
ings covering space of 1000 feet in length
and 900 in breadth on one of the seven hills
in Rome. The site was once The garden Of the
barbarous Nero. Early in the sixth century
the Bishop of Rome erected there an humble
dwelling. This has been added to by one Pope
after another, until it is now one Of the most
spacious and magnificent palaces, stocked with
paintings, statues, books and antiquities Of the
rarest kind.
