were almost uniformly resisted by Factors. The
causes for depression to which we have hereto
fore adyerted. still exist in full force, however,
and the European advices to the 18th inst via the
transatlantic cable are not of character TO
inspire confidence in the future; but a majority
of Factors nevertheless, appear to feel very SAN
guiue that higher figures must soon prevail, and
as their obligations are not so stringent
as to require general or even special
sacrifices it is not unlikely that they will avoid

How the Pope Looks.

A letter from Rome says While
strolling the other day with the Rev. DR..
Neligan we had capital sight Of the
Pope, who was indulging in his usual
daily walk. He was accompanied by
several officials of his household, who
walked by his side. Ahead of him and
behind him were handful of dragons
belonging to his guard. His carriage,
rich in gliding and surmounted by q
coachman of grand proportions, and
footmen behind, dignihed in mien and
ponderous in size, followed behind,
drawn by four black horses Another
carriage of less show brought up the rear.
His Holiness seemed to be in excellent
health, his face beaming with benevo-
lence and genial good will AS he bowed
slightly to the people kneeling on either
side of the street His left hand was up
raised somewhat, and with his forefnger
he bestowed his benediction on the null
titude, his lips moving, but uttering no
sound that we could hear. DR.. Nelgan
happened to see before him the students
of the American College, and called out
" Amercani y at which the Pope seemed
greatly pleased His Holiness walked
slowly along, and with the heavy tread
of an old man He is to be seen every
day riding ont or walking before his car
riage, and meets every one with smile,
and never fails to recognize a mark OF
respect from foreigner.

From Dover to Calais.


The New York Times has an article
on new bit of engineering enterprise
about to be undertaken by the French
Emperor, namely: the construction of
submarine road from the French to the
English shore:
Such an undertaking 1--WE are told has
been conceived with two objects--one,
the still further strengthening of the en-
fente cOrdidle between La Belle France
and Perfde Albion, already so strong;
and the otEer the finding of work for a
few thousand of the floating unemployed
class of w0rkmen, or curriers', in Paris
and elsewhere. The idea is a grand
one, and its realization mere question
of expense. Modern engineering is able
to do anything in the way of roads and
bridges, and this little matter of tunnel
twenty-five miles ander water will be an
easy matter, we suppose. A descending
road or fight of steps to traverse, rail
road car to enter, and presto half
hours whizz through the bowels Of the
earth completes the trip. In this pat.
ent age of new inventions, nobody will
be astouished by the deep sea train but
the fshes-they will open their round
eyes wider than ever; ana If there are
any mermaids left, they will ay to more
peaceful solitudes, where their syren
melodies will not be mingled with the
shrieks of iron monsters rushing beneath
their scaly terminal appendages

A Strange story-A Singular Union

From the San Francisco Californian
In l847 a young physician, who had
just graduated at the Missouri State Uni
versiIy, and returned to his home in Hi
nois to practice his profession, led to the
altar lady who had won his love. The
young physician, with that professional
ardor which burns so brightly in the
heart of all students, had on his return
home procured subject or scadaver
for dissection, by desecrating the village
graveyard By some means this fact be-
came known, and a warrant was issued
for his arrest and placed in the hands of
an officer to serve, which he did few
moments after the marriage ceremony
was performed The crime being
felony, the bridegroom position may
readily be imagined to have been eX-
tremely uneuviable, and the prospects of
a prison cell being anything but agree
able, he determined to make his escape.
The officer having granted him the priv
ilege of saying few words in private to
his bride, he retired with her to a room,
bade her farewell, jumped from the win
dow and escaped, He was pursued for
many days, but finally managed to elude
his pursuers, and settled in Missouri. A
year later he wandered into New Mexico,
and from thence, in the course of few
years, he found his way into California.
During his wanderings he had failed to
correspond with his wife, and she, beliey-
ing him dead, married again. After a
time he learned this fact, but determined
to remain dead to her, and it was not
until few months ago he altered his de-
termination. Happening to pick up a
paper published in one of the Western
cities, he read an account Of the death
of the husband of his wife, and knowing
her to be free, he wrote to her, stating
that he "still lived, and cherished her
memory as green as when he kissed her
lips in parting nineteen years ago. He
told her that he was still free, and asked
her to come and enjoy with him the for
tune he had accumulated The Wife
widow received the letter, and while she
read the early love returned, and she de-
termined to join him DispOsing of her
property, she, with daughter twelve
years of age, took passage for California,
where they arrived on Thursday last and
were met on the wharf by the old hus-
band, who conducted them to the Cosmo
politan Hotel, where they remained till a
license was procured and minister re-
married the parties after which they
proceeded to the house that had been pre-
pared for them, and where they on Thurs
day evening entertained quite number
of friends Truly, the incidents Of real
life are more startling and romantic than |
the widest fancies of the romancer

Ladies' Hats.

The New Orleans correspondent of the
Mobile Register thus pokes fun at the
ladies hats:
This morning, everybody and his wife,
as they say, is out of doors. Confined
for FIVE days to their houses, ladies have
gotten behind hand in their shopping,
and this morning the streets are thronged
with them. Spring colors are displayed
for the first time this season, and notice
the new-fashioned hats out in abundance.
Such fashion Women say that men
make sport of all those fashions when
new, but that they gradually come around
and finally advocate them as much as
anybody. To this charge / can plead
mot guilty" have never yet laughed
at a single style or fashion, no matter
how much wags may have cracked their
jokes at it, or smart comic papers made
sarcastic pictures about it; but have ta-
ken them all as matter Of course, and
as no manner of business of mine-but
now | am struck with amazement at
what seems to me to be the most stupid
thing ever worn upon the feminine head.
1t is utterly beyond my powers of de-
scription, but the latest style of hat de-
serves passing notice, and ! am at a
loss how to write about it intelligbly 1t
is sumner. Take half sheet of ordi-
nary note paper and fasten two broad
ribson strings to the ends, bring this
down over the top of the head allowing
a portion OF the sheet to haunt out
over the waterfall trim the whole
with roses, flowers, birds and
grasses, and you have the present style.
As | have said, this is the first fashion
that ever struck me particularly, but |
had to laugh outright atthe simple goose
saw wearing one yesterday-lt was so
ridiculous. There was really nothing OF
it. In French book store down town
there are some pictures from ChdriUari,
one of which represents little girl hold
ing doll with one hand, and wping
away the tears from her eyes with the
other. AT glass stands woman-the
mother--puttipg on a little hat and le
pere enters What is the matter little
one; you are crying p Yes, papa
she says, sobbingly, mamma has taken
my dolls hat to 90 out to promenade"
| can understand the force of the illu-
sion after seeing the new style. Oh
this is too absurd. The coal-scuttle that
adorns the head of fair ancestress of
mine, who lived some centuries ago, is a
far more respectable sight What will
they not invent next? They say gen
tleman is well dressed when he attracts
general attention for his neat appear
ance, and when no one can tell what ar
tice of dress it is which attracts the
most The rule could not be applied to
the other sex now, for the first remark is
g Goodness what a hatl" These little
are plentiful to-day, and as
they have come on with the New York
! dare say they will be-
come popular

\ Sensation Discovery in West virginia.

From the Pittsburg Commercial, 18th inst
A company boring for oil on the farm
Of. William Cunningham, situated in
Jackson county, West Virginia, in going
down, went through vein of metal about
eighteen inches thick. The company
took no particular notice Of the borings,
but continued their drilling until they be-
came satisfied their efforts in search for
oil were fruitless, when they abandoned
the well. In recurring to the strata
through which the drill had passed, the
owners thought Of the metal vein, and
Immediately concluded to have il an
alyzed. A quantity of the metal borings
was sent to New York, where it has been
assayed and pronounced to yield ninety
eight per cent Of pure silver Under
meath this vein, which is three hundred
and forty feet from the surface, is vein
of silver quartz four feet thick. The
gentleman from whom we learn the fore
going facts gives the following account
of the strata in the well: First forty feet,
hard flint rock; next two hundred feet,
soft soap stone; then the silver vein
eighteen inches thick; next four feet of
quartz, and then bed of black sand,
similar to the sand found in the gold
mines of California
This valuable discovery has been made
on a small farm located above Lefari
Falls, six miles above Ripley Landing,
West Virginia, and distant from Pitts
burg two hundred and forty miles. The
owners have been offered, since the dis.
covery, two hundred thousand dollars for
the farm, but they have refused to sell at
any price, as they design developing it
themselves They are already at work
roaming out the we'll preparatory TO
sinking shaft, the machinery for which
was brought up from Cincinnati on the
steamer Leonidas on her last trip
