Compound Extract Of SarSapnrilla,

the most cfFtciual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing fatal malady. It il COM
hincd from the most active rcmcdials that havo
hccn discovered for the cxpurgation OF this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofiiln, but also those other nfIec-
tons which arise from it, such as EnurTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTnoSY's FIRE,
RosE, or EnYswELAs, PMpLEs, PUsTuLIs,
BLorcmEs, BLAINs and Bous, TUMoIs, letter
and SALT RHRuM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwonM,
RmguMArIsN, SyrmLlrIC and MRncunIAL DIS
EASES, DROpsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEnIIITI, ana,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FnoM VITA
TED on IruRE BLoon. The popular belief
in "bnpwity ofMe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is n degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Snrsapa-
fila is to purify and rcgcnerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Much learned research has been rx

MastadOn.

A portion of the skeleton Of monster
animal was recently discovered in the bed
of the klamath river by party of miners
The bones were found about thirty feet be
lew the surface of the present stream, where
they have probably lain imbedded for cenlu
res. An idea of the immense proportions
of this ancient inhabtant of the Central
Pacific may be bad from the size of the
vertcbre and teeth-one of the rertical
vertebr9s measuring about tel inches in
diameter, having Il spinuous process about
three in diameter, and nearly three feet
long. The tooth discovered is that of a.herb-
iverous animal, measuring four inches in its
largest diameter. Though somewhat de
cayed and porous in its body, the animal is
still perfect. Altogether these skeleton re.
mains are among the wonderments of the
age, taking the present generation far back
in the list of centuries, to a period when
primal nature produced animated prodiges;
not the dimnutive Liilputans that we now
behold. The same ratio of retrogradation
in size, some day in the future, would bring
human corporation, as well as that of all the
animal kingdom, to the "li,tle end of no
thing" A naturalist informs us that the
above mentioned animal must have been
while living at least eighteen or twenty feet
in height. Scots Valley Mirror.

The new Congressional Apportio nment.

The Census of 1860 having been compile
ted it now remains to make the new appor-
tonments Of Congressional Districts accord
ing to that census. On previous occasions
this has been accomplished by special act
of Congress as soon as the census had been
taken. but by an act of Congress passed
May 23d, 1850. it is provided 'lhat from and
after the Sd day of March, 1853, the House
of Representatives shall be composed Of 233
MEMBERS" to be appointed according to
tie following arrangement:
AS soon as the returns of the census have
been made to the Office of the Department
of the Interior, it shall be the duty of the
Secretary of that Department to ascertain
the aggregate representative population of
the United State=, which is effected by the
following means, viz: by adding to the
whole number Of free persons in the United
States, ''includng those bound to service
for number Of years. and excluding Indians
rot taxed, three ff lis Of all other persons"
which aggregate population the Secretary
shall divide by the number 233, and the pro-
duct of said division, rejecting any fraction
of a unit, shall be the ratio of apporlion-
States. The Secretary of the interior shall
then proceed in the same manner to ascer-
tain the representative population of each
State, and to divide the whole number of
such population of each State by the ratio
already determined by him as above shown;
and the result of this last division shall be
the number Of Representatives appointed 10
such Sta,e.
The loss in the number of members caus-
ed by the fractions remaining in the several
States shall be compensated for by assigning
to so many States having the largest frac-
tions an additional member each for the frac-
ton, as may be necessary to make the
whole number of representatives 233.
When it shall occur that new State or
States shall be admitted into the Union the
Representative or Representatives assigned
to such State or States shall be in additional
to the number Of Representatives limited as
above, which excess over the regulated mum.
Der shall only continue until the time of Ia,
king The next census, when new apportion-
ment will be made.
When the Secretary Of the Interior shall
have apportioned the Representatives as
above he shall as soon as practicable make
out and transmit. under the seal of his office
to the House of Representatives certificate
Of the number of members apprrioned to
each State; and shall likewi,e make out
and transmit, without delay, to the Execu
1--WE Of each State certificate under his sea-
of office of the number of members ap
portloned to each State.

CLERK OF THE ASSEMBLY,. w. Scoby.
of Placer county, is a candidate for clerk of
the Assembly. Joe is an industrious office
seeker, constantly on the look out, and never
let's an opportunity slip to urge his own
claims with commendable perlinaclty. His
chief competitor is Maj. Anderson, a South
ern man with Northern principles" who has
a perfect thirst for the "oaves and fishes
They have both filled the position, are com
peent, popular and sound on the "social
question" Major Anderson is a political
trimmer Of the first water, and in caucus
composed almost entirely of trimmers will
have the heels of joe The defeat of both
would not cause us single regret.

More than Negro Equality Claimed. .

The Boston Atlas, leading Republican
paper of the New England States, is bitterly
severe on the foreign borne especially the
Irish. The Atlas is the exponent of the
feelings and sentiments of the Republicans
of the Northern States, and their legislative
action shows how they hate and despise
adopted citizens. Talk of the intolerance
and prescription of the defunct American
party! That party was mild indeed in COM
parison with the Republican party. The
Republicans would not only deprive the
foreign born of the right of suffrage, but
would place the negro above them had they
the power. This is the insulting and ungen-
erous language of the Atlas:
"You may take five thousand negroes as
they come, and thousand Irishmen in the
same way. and you will find the negroes sur
pass the Irishmen of Boston in intelligence,
morality, industry, and good citizenship
They are more thrifty, more orderly more
intelligent, AMI every way superior"

Half Iniun, Half Iniuueer.

Where the Engineer of the Atlantic and
Great Western Il R. company has been on.
gineerng the grade for the road near the
head waters Of the Aleghany River, N. Y,
there is quite a remnant of the Seneca tribe
tribe Of Indians. Their land grant is half
mile wide on each side of the river and
forty miles in length and "inalenable forev.
er," so that neither they nor the State or
Federal Government can sell even to the
Railroad company for their track to cross it.
They cross on leased ground only. Thus
this tribe have been unlike the ''roling stone
that gathers no MOSS" but have become rich.
The old chief has a very pretty daughter,
we'll up in her teens, and strange to say,
about II year after the engineering commenc.
ed this forest fawn had occasion to exercise
maternal care. One day The Engineer raj.
lied the old chief on the faded appearance of
the little half orphan. Ugh" grunted the
old chief "haf Injun, half Injuneer." May
be that speech didn't bring down the house
of railroad boys, and may be that Engineer
has never since heared that ominous ugh"

"QUTs" IN ALApAMA.-A Mobile paper
says that an inquest WAS recently held in
that city on the body Of a man who died
taking an overdose of vegetable pills. On
opening the body the interior was found to
be one huge cabbage, but dead to its core
from confinement and want Of water-a
beverage which the patient, unfortunately,
never drank The Jury returned verdict
of quits" "Quits, gentlemen!' exclaimed
the dismayed Coroner; "never heard of such
a thing. What do you mean!" why" re-
piled the foreman, tive find that if the
cabbage killed the man, the man certain y
killed the cabbage, and if that amt quits,
blow me!'
