New Motive Power.

TIE discovery of new motive power in
Paris has long been rumored abroad, and is
at length made public. 1t is hydromomo-
tive a en-, Of propulsion. The benefit to
navigation Is anticipated as being immense,
doing away at once with the necessity OF
coal and steam, winch would enable vessels
to perform the longest voyages in an incredi
bly short space of time. The system was
submitted to the Emperor, so says the report
duri"g his sojou'n in Italy, by the inventor
NJ Cavauna and is but just completed in a
manner satisfactory enonoh to be brought 10
Paris, where it about to be examined and
criticised by the first engineers of the day,
and experiments are about to be made at the
expense of the Government. The only dan
ger at present anticipated by tie men of
science summoned TO experimentalize, is
that of creating too violent rolling Of the
vessel; as the water through which it is made
to tear with such amazing force and swift
ness, is, first of all, compelled to resistance
in order to pr"pel its course, and then to
vie in order to allow passage.

In the hurry of their flight they were un-
able to take anything with them but a few
vauables, which bare'y sufficel to pay for
their passage. They landed in this city
penniless and friendless. In this predica-

musical talents of his family to account.
He procured an organ for himself, a violin

From the s. +. Citizen:

From the s. f. Citizen:
Ez5>The question is often asked--"Why is it
that DR.. j. G. Young is successful, while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day p The answer must be or should be. plainly
apparent to all; it is that he understands his
profession, and attends to it; and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tice, that he is perfect of his profession,
and can insure all relief from their trouble; and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward. placing him at
the head OF his arduous profession. SO great has
been bis increase Of business that he has been
obliged to associate with himself two other physi-
clans, both of extended knowledge and practice.
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference to any other Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system and will always warrant perfect cure.

recommend DR.. j. C. Young. as physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is man of
eminent and profound study a good surgeon. an
honorable man, and one who can sympathise with
persons in affliction. His standing as Il physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed-the first, by
his medical works, which are an honor to their
anthor, and the extensive and highly uccessful
course of practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons and large circle of ac-

self upon record as against keeping any
man in office-no matter how able a

faithfully he may discharge the duties of

editor undoubtedly has arrived At the
conclusion, after much ciphering, that
any thoroughbred Black Republican can
absorb enough Of the peoples money in
the time mentioned to carry him safely
through the remainder of his natural
life, no matter how long that life may be
spun ont. Our neighbor has got sick Of
