Suicide in Paris.

The capital correspondent of the Dajlv
Times, Dick Tinto, in a late letter from Paris,
thus ridicules the mania for committing SUN
eide which prevails in the French meropo,
lis:
Three suicides day before yesterday! Two
by women on account Of gentlemen, and one
by man on account of dog. A girl had
been cured of severe illness, by celebrat.
ed physician: be refused to accept any com
pensation, whereupon she tell in love with
him. She struggled a long time with her
passion, and at last wrote to the object Of it.
She then stabbed herself with knife She
soon recovered from her wound, and then
jumped out Of a three-story window, and
broke her backbone. The second, married
woman, was very fond Of her husband. One
morning, as he was going to bis business, he
asked her for a kiss; she refused, in order to
be asked again, and perhaps chased around
the room. He did not insist, however, and
went away. The wife now began to think
that she had been cruel; and the idea entered
her head that her husband would be unable
TO bear the slight, and that he would throw
himself into the Seine. She resolved not
to survive him. She lighted two censols of
charcoal and when he returned at midnight,
he found her breathing her last. He revived
her, momentarily, and impIored her to live.
She consented; he rushed for a physician,
and when he returned, she was dead. As
for the man. am ashamed to recount the
ignobe circumstances of his death, after
these heroic instances. He had cut off the
ears and tail of his dog, and had been fined
twenty-one francs for it. This sum he coud
not pay; the lady to whom he was engaged
had only l2 sous to spare; so, on the morn
ing the fine fell due, he hanged himself with
his cravat. His berothed, when she discov.
cred him suspended behind the door fell
down stairs aud spraned her ancIe. The
taste for selfsaugh.er is decidedly on the in.
crease.

Dr.. G. J. Jackson of Boston. has been
giving the Academy Of Sciences in Paris an
account Of some. Of bis observations in Cali
forna and Nevada. He says the silver OF
Austin, Nevada, consist in the undecomposed
portions of the veins of suphate of silver
and red su'phate of antmony. In decom-
posed parts Of the vein are chloride, iodide
and bromide, the latter being formed by
double decomposition from the action of ex.
terna influences. A fragment Of the ore
thrown into the fire of backsmth's forge
is at once covered with spangles of reduced
silver. AT Austin, all the veins are quartz
ore and imbedded in feldspatbic granite
Their thickness varies from few inches TO
thre-Ifeet. He bad himself seen The ores yield.
ing 81 300 to the ton, and the average was
$500, the cost of extraslion being $50 to the
the ton. The cost is high at Austin because
the ore has to be trough, from the mount
aims long way off. At Virginia City the
ores yield only $40 per ton, but as they do
not have to bs roasted. the cos. is less, and
they are very profitable. Austin was un'
known three years ago, but now there are
1so mines there, each yielding 1000 day.

A Paris blacksmith has invented new
system OF shoeiug horses. Instead Of the
shoe being placed on the boof and burning
its own resting place, the outside Of the hoof
is cut away round the foot to about the
depth of half an inch; this leaves ledge in.
to which the shoe fits, and is then flush with
the frog. which just touches the ground, and
the whole foot rests on the ground, instead
Of being raised as Of old by the shoe. The
advantages claimed are, that the foot is little
pared, that instead Of a great heavy shoe, the
animal is shod in what are little more than
racing plates, that the horse never slips, that
the shoe allows the foot to expand naturally,
and that it lasts as long and is as cheap as
the old plan.

LAND MAps.-As tue Board Of Supervs,

LAND MArs.-As the Board Of Supervise
will be in regular session next week, We de.
sire to call their attention to the Importance
Of procuring the official maps Of the U. S
Land Surveys within this county, as far as
they have been made, to be kept in the Re-
corder's Office, for the use and information
Of the public. These maps will cost about
five dollars for each Congressional Township.
and can be readily procured from the Land
Office. at MarysviIe. The whole expense
will not be great, and the fact that large
part Of the county has, already, and the rel
maiuder is being rapidly surveyed creates a
necessity for these maps being made part
Of the county archives.
We are particularly impressed with the
necessity that the full surveys should be OBJ.
tanned BY the county, from tie frequent ap-
plications We have for information as to the
location Of the lands surveyed. and of the
notice given by the Land Office to settlers.
We have the official maps Of all the surveys.

been able to furnish information that
far. but Of the Townships recently re
turned to the Land Office, there is not a
map 10 the county, and settlers who are now
required TO take steps for their protection,
may, through ignorance Of their claims be

BY expiration Of the time given them TO
