NATIVE PoTAsH.-A load of native potash
was recently brought into Carson City, which
was taken from an extensive bed Of that
material which has been found near the Sink
of the Carson. 1t was taken to Duff & Co. 3
Soap Factory. Small samples of the article
had been previously brought in and tried
giving entire satisfaction. In other local..
ties this article is the result of much labor
and cost. In the above locality, however, it
appears that the soap boiler has only to
drive bis team into the bed and shovel up
load. The same is the case with salt, salt
peter, alum, sulphur, and numerous other
articles that might be mentioned useful in
the arts and trades. Thus far SAYS the local
paper almost every article, except coal, re-
qured for the reduction of our ores, is found
in abundance within our own limits, or at
least the material from which to manufacture
it. Nature has certainly furnished our BAR
ren, unsichlly land bountifully and yet we
have hardly looked into her resources. Fu,
ture developments, we confidently believe,
will show an abundance of coal; and posi-
bly Nature may have provided, somewhere
in our mountains, springs of nitre and sui
phuric acid.

to the contrary, are considered us wishing to con-
tinue the subscription.

Devices of Paris Restaurants to Attract
Custom


A recent Paris correspondence savs:-
Restaurants for the working classes in Paris
bave now days recourse to every species
of invention to attract attention. Last week
one opened in the Faubourg Montmartre
promises dinner Of two courses and dessert
to whoever writes in a legible hand the ans
wer to rebus offered every morning for
BY the dame de camptoir. Another,
in the Faubourg ST. Antoine hit on a still
more strange expeditions; he chose for his
ensign gigantic golden sausage, which he
swung entcngly over the door'of his res
taurant the words "A la caucisse dor" in
huge golden letters, blazing beneath His
salon was large, its white walls decorated
by testoons of the tempting edible 50 highly
appreciated on the other side Of the Rhine,
and in every fttieth sausage five franc
piece in gold His principle was that as his
customers called for sausage they should be
cut off in regular rotation from the string
so artstically arranged round the dining hall
The result may be better imagined than
described. The eager anxiety depicted on
the countenance of every Ouprier as he ner-
vously examined and finally ate his sausage,
would have supplied n phrenologist with
many good subjects for study. The expedi-
ent proved most remuneratlve to the pro
prietor, but the quarrels which ensued were
of so serious nature that the police have
interfered and the master of the establish
ment has received orders either to shut up
his shop or to proceed on u less exciting
system.

Mountain Democrat.


A LITTLE SINGULAR.-It is not a little sin
gular that the men and the party that pre-.
tend 10 be Union men par excellence, should
so earnestly strive to convince the people
that there is no possible way of reconcilng
The two sections, or of preserving the terri
toral unity of the Republic, except through
continued war and misery; while the men
who affirm their belief that the Union can
be restored and peace re-established without
further waste of lives or treasure, are de-
nounced as "disunionists, copperheads and
traitors" 1t is not a little singular that the
men and the party that advocate new
nation" claim to be "u"conditional Union
ists;" while the men who desire and are
laboring to preserve the old Union are stig'
malized as traitors. 1t is not little singu'
lar that the men who first advocated dis
solution of the Union and petitoned Congress
to dissolve it and voted to dissolve it, should
all belong to the former party; while the
men who denounced and voted against such
petitions should belong to the Democratic
party. Mountain democrat.

HEADAcHE.-A very curious method of
reducing the intense headache experienced
by fever patients has been lately pointed out
by NJ. Guyon. 1t consists simply in pressure
extended over the integument covering the
temporal arteries. 1t was discovered quite
accidentally in feeling the temples rather
than the wrists, in order to ascertain the
frequency of the pulse. Whilst the phys1-
clan compressed the vessel the patient ex,
claimed, "Comme vous me soolayz," and
thus indicated the result produced by dimln
ishng the supply Of blood to the surface
Of the Uranium.

NUMBER IA.
Counterfeit SOvereisns.

A few counterfeit Soveregns Of rather
dangerous character have within the last
month been detected at the bank counters,
London. They are made of gold, but of an
inferior quality, being two carrots and one
and seven-eighlhs grain worse than standard
gold, of which the genuine sovereigns are
made; that is TO say, instead Of having 9,l67
parts of pure gold in 10000 they have only
s,l3s parts, which makes them worth only
about Us The coins are new, but seem TO
have been purposey soiled to give them an
appearance of having been worn by circula-
ton. They have more Of tho greenish yell
low color of pure gold than the genuine
soveregns, with the exception of the old
George and Dragon pieces. All Of them
are struck from one pair of dies. One of
these dies, the reverse, is cracked in two
places, and the coins have been touched up
by a hand tool after striking in the press.
aud the effect of the crack, which runs dag,
onaIIy upwards, through the Scottish quarter
of the shield, and through the of the "Re
gina" is in this way, from some Of them,
partly removed, although sufficient remains
for the purpose OF detection In the Irish
quarter the harp is almost erased by this
after manipulation, and the consequent
smoohness and want of definition strike the
eye at once. The quality of the engraving
is coarse, and does not appear to be the
work of person accustomed to engrave
coin dies. The lettering, particularly, is
roughly executed by an unpraclced hand;
yet, after all, the imitation ia sufficiently
close to deceive on casual inspection. The
sound, which is dull. and wants the sharp
clink of the true sovereign, is one of the best
means of detection to those accustomed to
the ring of the genuine metal. 1t is not ap.
pretended that there are many in circula-
ton, and indeed the whole facts point to
operations on limited scale.

SUFFERING Prisoners OF WAR; The
Abolition papers are constantly publishing
accounts eff the suffering and iItreatment of
Federal prisoners in Confederate hands
greatly exaggerated, probably, yet contain
ing much truth. 1t is a severe condemnation
Of Lincoln. who wilfully suffers these men to
remain prisoners lie alone is responsible;
he holds the keys to their prison doors; he
can release them any day; and every hour of
suffering they endure and every death caused
thereby, is directly chargeable to him. This
is tact which cannot be denied He has
but to say the word and the rebels will glad
ly exchange prisoners. The rebels have
made the proposition 10 him repeatedly and
he has AS repeatedly ungraciously rejected it.
A deputalon Of the prisoners at Anderson
vile waited upon him and solicited his inter
ference-he refused lie alone is respon-
sible for their suffering.

DECAY OF VENIcE-PRospERIT OF GENOA.
Venice is constantly giving sad proofs of
decay. Within the last five years the ves'
sells entering and leaving the port of Venice
have diminished 2S per cent. in number and
al per cent. in tonnage. The value of the
years imports has, in the same period, de
creased p l-2 per cent, and that OF the
exports SO l-2 per cent. Factories are
transferred from the left to the right bank
of the Mincio. While Venice sinks in dis'
tress, Genoa, her old rival, finds, by the ex
tension of railways and the abolition Of from.
tier dues, widening market in Central and
Southern Italy, and has largely increased.
If not doubled, her tonnage.
