PLANT SHADE TREES. If there is anything
that could add happiness to the spirits of the good
on high, it must be to look down when 1t Is
melting June or schorching August with us, and
under the grateful shade of some noble tree
which had been planted one, two, three, or per-
haps FIVE hun dred years previously, witness the
sons and daughter of man enjoying themselves in
its shadow--the beasts of the field made happy
thereby the birds of the ar,flling its spread
ing branches, and pouring forth melodlous prai-
ses to the Giver of every good and perfect gift
But to one looking up from the other place, such
a scene of enjoyment would give little comfort ;
but would be apt to aggravate--if that were
possible-his torment, and add the ve1ations of
Tantalus to the tortures of Tophet.-Sac, Bee.
THE FIGuREs-After the claims of some
of the seeding States have been adjusted.
it is probable that their anxiety to get clear
of the Union will have diminished, consid-
erably. As we paid SIS, 900, 600 in hard
cash for Louisiana, $1,000, 900 for Florida,
$4,000, 900 for Texas-in all $50, 1000 600,
for territory which they now propose to
carry off-we do not believe they will get
much we who stay will probably have to
pay the entire debt of the present Union,
now over $50, 1000, 600. So that our claim
to administer on the effects is pretty strong
one.

THE CALIFORNIAN GOLD SLUIcE IN EUROPE.
Gold is, next to iron, the most widely
distributed of all the metals. 1t is found
in all the continents and large islands.
There are rich auriferous mines and placers
IN Africa, Asia, North and South America,
and Australia, and there were rich placers
in Europe in ancient times. Thracc yield
ed large amounts of gold to the Greeks and
Spain to the Romans. There are, now.
placers in Ireland, Spain, France, Germany,
along the Rhine, worked by antiquated and
slowest methods. The fast gold washing
inventions of California, however, have
lately been introduced in at least one place.
Mr.. Guido Kustel, the Superintendent Of
the 0phir works, in Washoe Valley, in
forms us that he has lately received a letter
from Hungarian, who was for time n
miner in California, with but little success.
He went to the Province of Siebenburgen,
in Hungary, where there are some placers,
commenced mining there with sluice, and
has done very well.-AHd.

MADERN Bayard Taylor,
the celebrated traveller, thus sums up the
results of modern discovery: "Within the
last twenty-five years, all the principal fea-
lures of the geography of our vast interior
regions have been accurately determined
the great fields of Central Asia have been
traversed in various directions, from Box
hara and the Oxus to the Chinese wall; the
halfknown river systems of South Ameri-
ca have been explored and surveyed; the
icy continent around the Southern Pole
has been discovered the Northwestern
passage, the ignus .fatuus of nearly two cen
turtles, is at last found; the Dead sea is
stripped of its fabulous terrors; the course
of the Niger is no longer myth, and the
sublime secret of the Nile is almost wrested
from his keeping the Mountains of the
Moon, sought for through two thousand
years, have been beheld by a Caucasian
eye: an English steamer has ascended the
Chadda to the frontiers of the great king
penetrated the wilderness of Australia; the
Russians have DESCENDED from Irkoutsk to
the mouth of the Amoor; the antiquated
walls of the Chinese prejudice have been
cracked and are fast tumblng down, and
the canvas screens which surround Japan
have been cut by the sharp edge of Ameri-
can enterprise. Such are the principal re-
suits of modern exploration. What quart
er of century, since the form ofthe earth,
and the boundaries of its land and water
were known, can exhibi. such list of
acbieyements?n

EXCITING CONFLICT BETWEEN SURGEON
AND A MANIAc.-Professor C. E. Weber, of
the Cleveland Medical College, recently per-
formed a very painful surgical operation
upon an insane man, and left him, as he
| supposed, doing well. A day or two ago,
however, he conceived the idea that the
operation had been failure. He removed
the dressings and tore open the wound,
placing himself in a horrible condition
His madness sought vengeance for the sup
posed i'll treatment, and meeting the Doctor
on the street, announced his intention to
return upon the unfortunate operator the
| injuries he had sustained. There being no
help at hand when he was grappled by the
lunatic. Professor Weber walked with him
round the Park till they reached the corner
of Ontario street on the south SIDE. Here
the Professor decided to make stand
which he did, calling upon the bystandcrs
to help him secure the madman. Numer-
Gus parties were in the vicinity, but stood
calmly by seeing the struggle between the
doctor and his assailant, without an at
tempt to aid him. The lunatic became fu-
rious, being much stronger than his oppo-
nent, he held him and poured forth a tor
rent of abuse. Professor Weber stood
manfnlly to his patient, however, telling
the crowd that the man was a maniac, and
calling for aid. At length some persons
volunteered assistance, and the lunatic was
lodged in Jail, to await removal to the
