WAS one day on the piazza of hotel,
in company with the daughter of the land
lord. She had been recounting to me all
her fathers little successes and reverses in
life, ever since he had adopted the profess
sion of Boniface, and among the latter,
(that is, reverses,) the rather prominent
and discouraging one of having his "hos-
telrie" burned down without the mitigat-
ing circumstance of any insurance upon it.
professed proper amount of sympathy
for so great calamity, and ventured to in
quire whether accident OF the torch of the
incendiary had wrought such ruin.
"What - inquired the girl

She looked at me for moment with a
puzzled air, aud slowly shaking her head,

Hill Channels.

A Joint Stock Company has been formed
in Jacksonville Oregon, to prospect cer-
tain hills in the vicinity, in search of the
buried channels of the antediluvian rivers.
A correspondent of the Jacksonville Sen
tineI says: By proceedings of the Joint
Stock Mining Company, you will be in
formed that they believe in the existence
of chill channels" in this vicinity, similar
to those so well known throughout Cali
fornia. l think that critical examination
of the surrounding hills will fully estab-
lish the truth of the proposition. Being
one of the first, in 1857, when hill mining
was in its infancy, to examine this subject,
allow me through the medium of your pa
per, to give the miners of Jackson county
my experience in finding and working
these peculiar mines Throughout Cali
fornia you will find the hills covered with
smooth rock, showing that in some indef-
nitely past time large bodies of water must
have acted upon them. The question aris-
es, was it the water of rivers, or of the
ocean, which has produced this effect
Accident discovered to me in 1852, while
mining near Iowa Hill, that the different
hill mines there discovered were all on
level-hence came to the conclusion that
those channels running through the hills
of California, were made by the ocean.
prospected on this theory and was success
full. Probably the best illustration of my
theory on this subject would be to imag-
inc that the ocean had receded from Gold
Beach and Port Oxford, and left them high
and dry. The same indications would pre-
sent themselves, a thousand years from this
time, along those places, as now exist in
our hills, and the bars and channels thus
exposed, would all be on a level, or nearly

PROGRESS OF VOLUNTEERING.-The
accounts of the war meetings held lin the
Middle and New England States, and the
rapidity with which the ranks were filling
up by volunteering, show that the three
hundred thousand men first called for will
be made up without difficulty. In Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut the various towns
had taken the matter up and were furnish
ing each its assigned number of men. In
many instances the town authorities voted
to pay a bounty to volunteers, ranging from
fifty to two hundred dollars. The war
spirit was aroused, and men we're stepping
forward with alacrity to volunteer for the
Union. New York and Pennsylvania were
certain to furnish their full complement of
men without resorting to drafting Union.
LEvEEs IN SAcRAMENTo.-The Sacra-
mento correspondent of tho Placer Herald
says:
The work on the levee is going ahead
finely, and all of them will be finished be-
fore the rains fall The entire line is un-
der contract, excepting a small section on I
and Front streets-both of which were not
overtopped by the foods last winter. The
new levees look like many Of the fortifca-
tiOns around E" Old Virginny," and let the
quantity of water be what it may that
shall fall next winter, these levees are
strong enough to resist the attacks.

LovE-WHAT IS ITa-The leading ques-
ton is thus defined by the correspondent
of paper down east, who has evidently
been " through the mill -
1t is a disease which nothing except
matrimony or change of climate will cure.
There are various kinds of the article
love Platonic-love sexual-love philan-
thropic-love religious-love of money
love of power, and love of self A man is
said to be in love when he mistakes his
shirt sleeves for the extremities of his un-
tionables-attempt to shave himself
with his pocket knife-fnds he has scented
his pocket handkerchief with peppermint
or kerosene instead Of patchouili, or takes
a dose of castor oil before he discovers it
is not champagne. These are unfailing
symptoms of the first stage, which are fol-
lowed Immediately by a desire to perpe-
trate poetry, play on the guitar or flute,
study astronomy, or lean against clothes
line on whioh petticoats are hanging
When these symptoms appear the patient
may generally be considered "gone

The Battle Field.

There is news from the battle field to-day,
There is news Of bloody fight;
They say that the plain was covered with dead
When the sun went down at night.
They say that the dying lay on the field
While the foe was put to rOut,
And their hollow groans rose high above
The long victorious shout.
They say that the list of the killed - was long,
Many brave hearts fell in the fight;
Was he love dearest and best in the field
Did he lay with the dead at night
Is the hand I've held all lifeess now?
Is his name on that fatal list 2
Will the lips never more breathe love to me,
Those darling lips I've kissed.
Oh l long to see the news to-day,
To see that dreadful list,
Though l know twill break my heart to read
The name of the boy 1 have kissed.
I will pray to the heavenly father now,
That he will my darling spare;
Perhaps he will pity my distress,
And grant my fearful prayer.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.-Jef Davis
says in his letter on the conscription law
to Governor Brown of Georgia:
At some future day, after our indie
pendence shall have been established, it is
no improbable supposition that our present
enemy may be tempted to abuse his moral
power by depredations to our commerce,
and that we may be compelled to assert our
rights by offensive war"
Thus is afforded a glimpse of the future
should we fail to subjugate the rebels.
They would, by aid of their conscriptions
and other appliances of military despot-
ism, be formidable and standing menace,
and compel continual and enormous expen-
ditures of money, and the precious time of
our laboring-men, in self-defense. If we
are ever again to enjoy the sense of secu-
rity and the profits of peace in this coun-
try, it will be after we have conquered the
rebels.

put on without materially affecting the draught
or the safety Of the battery. But Il is believed
that nine inches will be q sufficient thickness
The best practicable thickness can only be
ascertained by actual experiment. That four
and half inches (the thickness Of plates on
the La Gloirs and Warrior) are not enough,
was satisfactorily proved by Capt. Ericsson in
experiments conducted by him many years ago.
The test to which his battery will be subjected
will probably settle all that is unknown about
the resisting power of iron plates. Immediate
~ upon the completion of the battery 1t will
be taken to position In front of some one of
the enemy's accessible batteries : the most
formidable preferred-and will "pitch in" at
ranges from 1000 to 300 yards, and as much
less than that as will be necessary to silence
the rebel guns. Should 1t not prove potent
enough at the irst triai-about which no ap-
Prehension. need be felt--the additional plates
can be attached In very short time, and the
success Of the battery, in the closest engage
ments and under the heaviest fire, be placed
beyond any reasonable doubt.

THE ERICSSON BATTERY.

The New York Journal Of Commerce gives
the following description of the new battery
now being constructed in that city:
The battery rests upon two vessels, an upper
and lower one. The upper one is built of
iron, l74 feet long, IL feet inches wide, and
feet deep, with draught of feet inches,
leaving only l6 inches Of the sides exposed
above the water-line. The sides are covered
with white oak bulwark, 80 inches thick, but
receive their principal protection from an
armor Of rolled plate iron, 8 inches thick. The
deck IL made OF oak beams 10 inches thick,
covered with plank inches thick and one
inch iron plate. The upper vessel is fat
bottomsd, and has wedge.shaped stem spd
stern. The lower vessel which Is entirely sub.
merged, 10 la feet long, "a feet wide, and 8
feet inches deep. IL contains the working
machinery, the rudder and the anchor, housed

How to Increa,e the yalus of n Cow.

AAo~ " AuCfcdsc the alu6 oil d Cows
Every one who owns cow can see at glance
that 1t would be very profitable to increase the
value OF her, but every one cannot tell how to
do 1t. We can, and we think We can make 1t
equally ealpable to our readers If COW is
Kept for butter, 1t would certainly add to her
value, II the butter-msking properties of her
milk should be improved. In summer or
winter this can be improved just as the yield of
cultivated crop oan be improved by what is
Ted to each, and it is simply q question of, will
1t pay, the manuring the one or feeding the
other2
Indian corn will add to the quantity and
quality OF the butter TO a very sensible degree,
and II Is simply question of easy solution, by
experiments, whether it will add to the profit
ot the butter-maker to buy corn at one or two
cents pound, aud convert a portion Of it into
butter at twenty five cents pound, or what
ever the market price Of corn and butter may
be, and another portion of it into fat, and an
other portion of it into manure, for that is the
natural result of the chemical change produced
IN the labratory of the cows stomach. The
same result will follow any other kind Of feed
ing Good pastures will produce an abundance
OF milk, often as much as the COW can carry
but does it follow that even then it will not be
profitable to feed her with some msre oleagin-
Gus food to increase the quantity of butter, Just
as 1t sometimes proves prof able to feed bee 8
TO enable them to store mere honey?
1t certainly does appear to US that the value
OF co" feeding upon ordinary winter food, may
be almost doubled oy making that food suitable
for the purpose Of increasing the quantity of
milk, II that is the purpose for which the COW is
kept Farmers generally understand that they
can convert corn into beef, pork, and lard, and
some OF them know exactly az what price per
bushel it will pay to convert into these sab
stances but does any enc know at what rate it
will pay to convert corn or any other kind of
grain into butter, or any other kind of feed
into the dairy products? Is the whole business
hap-hasard one? We fear so. Some persons
know that they can increase the saleable value
of butter by adding the ooioring matter Of car
rots to 1t. Does any one know the value of q
bushel of carrots fed to a COW to inerease her
value as butter producing laboratoryH Ex-
perimental proof upon this point would be far
more worthy Of agricultural prizes than it is 10
see who can show the largest sized roots
for by few carefully conducted experiments
We should be able to increase the value of a
COW almost at pleasure.-Ruyal Register.
