Mr.. Gilpin, Of Colorado, has written
and argucd that, under the Rocky
Mountains are solid masses of gold of
incalculuble magnitude and weight
The celebrated Western scholar Mr..
Catlin, has just communicated to the
world his belief that great river, "lar-
ger than the Mississippi" flows under
the Rocky Mountains and be is about
to submit the evidence which he has
collected in favor of this startling n.y.
pothesis. Tie river will prove veiy con-
venient for transporting the masses of
gold, when found.

MEfiUsEbAH DROWNED IN THE
FLooD.-We make the following ex-
tract from an article contri. .uted to the
Louisville Democrdt'
All We know Of the origin Of the
Garth sud of our race we learn from
Revelations. The chronology used by
tue civilized world is founded on the
data furnished us in tie 'ible. We
reckon the date of the food from the
dates found in the 9th chapter of Gene
sis. We learn from this chapter that
Adams lived, befure his son Seth was
born. l30 years; Seth lived, before his
son Euos. was,..hern, 1o5ss5ears;@11Enos;
lived, before his son Cainan was born.
90 years: Cainap lived, before his son
Mahalahul was born 10 years; hahal-
hui lived, before his son Jared was
born, IS years; Jared lived. before his
son En"ch Was born, l62 years; Enoch
lived, before his son Mcthuselah (6oD
wqs born. 95 years; Mc.huselah lived.
before his son Lamcch was born, 1877
ycaa,; Lamech lived, bef,rc his son
Noah W IS born, 1872 years. Noah, hence,
was born Anno Muudi 1856.
In Genesis, 7Ih chapter, 9Th verse,
we are informed that Noah was 600
years old when the food of water was
nprn the earth. Add COZ years (his
age) to 1856, the date of his birth, and
we have 1856, the date of the food.-
We learn from the 18th verse, 5th
chapter of Genesis, that "all the days
of Me,husclah were 969 years and he
died" " BY reference to the foregoing
table. it will be seen that M"thuselah
was born Ammo Muudi GS7; add his
age (969) to 681, the date Of his birth
and We haze 1856, the time "whtn the
food If waters was upon the earth. -
The conclusion is us certain as figures,
that the oldest man was drowned for his
wickedness.

whether wounded or unwouuded were
murdered in manner too horrible To re-
ate. Of the dead bodies found in the
streets, or killed outside of the city, two
hundred and fifty were piled up iu one
house. The house was then set on IRE
and its contents burned to ashes Al
ready, we are told, "eleven thousand
lives have been sacrificed in this Terri
bic warfare" This slaughter recalls
the bloody days of La Vendce and St..
Domingo. General Banks asks that
the United States establish q protector
ate over these Haytiens to the end that
they ultimately become free and eullght-
ened citizens of the "grcat Republic. I"
1t is a pleasant picture to contemplate
these bright days, especially in view OF
the fact that the Ilaytieu hatred Of the
white race is so intense that not only is
no white man allowed to exercise politi-
cal privileges, but he cannot even hold
real estate unless he marries a negro
woman. A people with these eminent
ly liberal and philanthropic ideas would
prove an invaluable addition to our po.
plla,ion, aud it is TO be regretted that
Seward is not now in position to ne
gotiate fur the islaid. We should no
longer be deprived of this Caribbean

what the physicians pronounced to
be Inflammation Of the right lung,
which soon placed him in a criti-
cal condition. While this disease
was at its height, however, strange
to say, the eye began to improve,
and its Inflammation soon abated.
After Mr.. Milburn's recovery,
Graefe examined the eye carefully
a number of times, which verified
his previous diagnosis, and that of
DIR. William Frederic Holcombe, of
New York-for a long time a pu-
pil of Won Graefe-who, by the
way, was the first person to hold
out to Mr.. Milburn the prospect of
a partial restoration of his sight by
the same operation.
'1n consequence of the nearly
closed state Of the pupil and Of the
opacities of the cornea it had been
impossible hitherto to see the inte-
riOr of the eye, but the new pupil
disclosed the fact that the crystal
line lens is Opaque. To remove
this it will be necessary to run The
knife along the whole lower or
upper margin of the eye, and to
remove the lens by pressure or the
use of hooks. Itwas expected that
this could be done in three or four
weeks after the first operation, but
Graefe now gives it as his opinion
that in consequence of the inflam-
nation it will not be safe to operate
again under some months. Al
though Mr.. Milburn's power of
vision has hardly been improved,
he has now the definite prospect,
should the second operation be sue
cessful, of at least the recovery of |
partial sight. As that operation is
one of Graefe's own invention, and |
one which he performs with surer
hand than any other person, it is
Of course the wish of Mr.. Milburn |
and his friends that he should per-
form it. Mr.. Milburn will therefore |
probably remain in Europe until
this can be done. We understand |
that Mr.. Milburn has been invited
by number of the leading Amer
leans in Paris, foremost among
whom is our Minister, Gen. Dix, to
give a course of lectures. The
first, What Blind Man Saw in
will be delivered in the
Chapel, Rue de Berri, on
Friday evening next, the Goth inst,
at eight o'clock. This will be fol-
lowed by four other lectures"

THE BLIND PREACHER.
Remarkable Operation ON Ihe Eyes
of the Rev MIR, MIIburn.

The Paris European Meas gives
an interesting account of the oper-
alton performed in Berlin upon
Mr.. Milburns eyes:
"The Rev. Mr.. Milburn has Just
returned to Paris from Belgium,
where he has been for three
months past in care of the great
oculist, Prot. Won Graefe. On the
9th of December the Professor
performed the first operation upon
Mr.. Milburn's right eye, cutting a
hole, inserting a hook, and draw
ing the iris from the old pupil with
which TO line the new one, and then
trimming the edges dexterously
with scissors. The three-fold pre-
cess occupied nearly five minutes
The eye did remarkably well fol
about twelve days, but from some
unexplained cause interior infiam
nation then began, which sool
threatened disorganization and tn
entire loss Of the eye. A few day
thereafter Mr.. Milburn was sud
denly seized by violent attack c

Thomas Lancaster, who killed DR.. Gate
