A Dresden astrologer thus expounds the
planetary influences: Jupiter reigns this
year, and those born under his influence
will he endowed; the men with propensi-
ty to intemperance and music; the women
to coquetry and passion tor admiration.
Next year Mars will be in the ascendant
and those born then will be endowed: the
bows with passion to become surgeons, or
soldiers, or apothecares or murderers; the
girls, on the contrary. with an irresistible
penchant to become milliners, or danseuses,
or danes of the demi- monde, or devOtees.
The American newspapers of May 18th
had accounts of the attempt upon Prince
Alfred's life transmitted from Sydney via
Panama to New-York. The London jour
nails did not receive their correspondence
direct from Australia until three days later,
so that the important points OF the news
were anticipated by means of the cable dis
patches. 1t will thus be seen that the Uni
ted States is becoming the grand centre OF
intelligence from all parts of the world.

are between fifty five and fifty-seven years of

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY OF AMBER
The little fishing village of Schwarzort, sit
uated on the shores of the Baltic, between
NIemel and DantZic, about two leagues to
the south of the former place, has, within
the last three years, acquired certain i'm
portance owing to the discovery of large
bed of amber. This bed Is situated near
the Cape Korning, and is believed to be cx-
tensve -Four steam dredges are employed
for the collection of the amber. as well as
a considerable number of dredges worked
by hand. The amber is found almost uni
formly in separate nodues, with Ignite, dis
seminated in the sands at depth of from
ten to twelve feet. The dredging is carried
on day and night by shifts of eight hours
each. About four hundred persons are EN-
pIoyed at this work, and their wages are on
the average twenty two silver groschen
(hfty-two cents) per shift. The quantity OF
amber collected is considerable, amounting
to about two hundred and eighty-eight
pounds per shift and for six days work
5,184 pounds. The sand is sent on shore,
when it is washed, in order to find the
amber.

TURQUOISE MINE.-In addition to Its COLO
mines, Nevada may soon become celebrated
for its precious stones. The Reese River
RsoeiUs, of the twenty seventh utimo, gives
some account of the gem called turquoise,
and of a turquoise mine existing,in the Co
lumbus district. The turquoise stone is
susceptible of high polish, and is much es
teemed ny connoisseurs of precious stones
The choicest specimens are of pale blue,
with the faintest tinge of green, but in tur-
uuoise of an inferior kind the green FREEDOM
mates In Persia this gem is most highly
prized, and the choicest specimens are OBJ
tained there Little attention has as yet
been paid to this deposit, but, Judging from
the fact that several specimens, varying in
size from small shot to an almond, have
been discovered, it is not improbable, as the
ReueiILe remarks, that small amount OF la
Dor might be generously rewarded.

Of their number to bear the vote of the

man who has rendered more ef'ectuaI
service in the good cause, this year, and
we can think of nobody more deserving
that distinguished honor than he. He
had the honor of casting the vote of
Nevada in the National Convention for
Grant and Collax and of pledging this
State to their support. He has done
much and sacrificed much for the good
OF the party is representative man Of
the patriotic young men Of this coast,
and would not decline the honor Of pre-
senting himself at the Electoral College |
in the capacity that we have suggested.
This recommendation of ours is not in

The fact to which he alluded is this Il
became my pleasing duty in 1861, as friend

REMARKABLE CONDUCT OF A HoRsE.-A
recent French paper records an extraordin-
airy punishment inflicted by horse on its
ma ster for an act of brutality by the latter
towards one of the animals stable compan-
ions. A carrier named R, at no time
tender in his treatment of his four-footed
servants, returned one night in state Of
administration from Moamant to Givors.
The mans natural barbarity was at that time
aggravated by the drink he had taken, and
the horses-a poor hack which had almost
served his time-he decided that the animal
was no longer worth its feed, and resolved to
put an end to it. For that purpose he tied the
poor brute to a tree, and taking a massive |
lever used in moving goods, he struck the
animal several violent blows on the head,
until the unfortunate brute sank to the !!
ground insensible. The master, thinking I,
the animal was dead, left it on the spot,
intending to remove the body next day
the horse, however, recovered its senses a
short time after, found its way home, and
entered the court yard at day break. Its ar
rival was welcomed by the neishing of its
in the stable, which noise
Weakened the master, who was now furious
at having failed in his cruel purpose. He
tied up the animal afresh and commenced
again 10 shower blows on its head. This act
of brutality was committed in sight of two
other horses in the stable at length one of
hem, a young animal, become so frantic
With rage that he broke his halter, and
ushing on the man, seized him in his Jaws,
nd after shaking him violently, threw him
own and trampled on him with such fury
hat had not the mans cries brought some
ersons to his aid the master would certainly
ave been killed.

THE "MEDICINAL MUD MOUND" OF
TExAs.-A Medicinal Mud Mound" is re-
ported from Brazoria, Texas. 1t covers an
area of about half mile in diameter. 1t is
a round, conical elevation. about two hundred
feet above the level of the surrounding
prairie. On Il part Of this mound is found an
acid earth, little of which acidiies water so
strongly thatit operates an ordinary telegraph
battery. But what gives special interest to
the mound is the fact that water in which the
earth has been stepped has recently been
found to possess medicinal virtues. Every
man can have medicinal water at his door by
obtaining a barrel Of this sour earth. which
commands at this time more per bushel than
corn. Fer the invigoration of the system
from the lassitude following long attacks of
intermittent fever, the water in which this
sour earth has been stepped is considered a
sovereign remedy.

The Humboldt Register saws:


Unionyille is getting to be one of the fast
mountain towns of our State. Oar business
streets are throngei with people during the
day, and the saloons crowded at night.
Banking games and the thousand and one
devices resorted to by" sharps and profess
sional "sp' rts y to beat the sons Of toll ~
ont of their hard earnings, are becoming
quite common. 9 Where the carrion is there
also shall be the vulture.' Wherever these
evil birds of prey are seen lowering in focks,
it is a sure indication that money is abundant
and business lively. Business in Unionville
has not been SO good since the flush times of
1928, when every man was a millionaire
and California capitalists were arriving in
shoals, eager TO OBTAIN a few " feet " at al
most any price. but no one wanted to sell.
Our present prosperity, however, is not the
result of speculative enterprise, but proceeds
from legitimate developments Of paying
mines.

INCIDENTS OF THE SPANISH REVOLUTION
A letter from Andalusia SAYS:

Much hostile feeling prevails against the
priesthood, who all belong to the fallen party;
and it is to their baneful influence over the
Queen that her present unpopnlarity is to be
chiefly attributed. The vicario here at first
refused to give up the keys of the church to
allow the bells to be rung. but, being told
that if he did not the doors would be forced
he gave in. At Seville the Jesuits were al
lowed twcntv-four hours to leave the city,
and their building has already been contis-
Gated and made into a school for the poor.
The Seville Revolutionary Committee say
they will have freedom in education, and
they hope soon TO see Spain occupy the place
she should fill among civilized nations. 81
Port s.. Mays, opposite Cadlz, there Is a
college for young priests; they were all CA
