Readers who have been bothered over
the word ''pIe6iscite, F" so constantly occur
ring in the last fortnight in the Paris tele-
grains, may like to know that it Is only
high sounding name for special election.
French literary men and politicians have a
weakness for Latin terms, and SO call
special election ''plebiscitltn1, y which wss
Latin name for law passed in those as
semblies for the people called conlitiG tribu
ta Strictly speaking, the ''plebiscitun' ls
a decree thus passed by the whole body OF
the people. The French form of the word
is'1plebiScite, "and the term is loosely applied.
to the decree, the submission of the decree
to vote, and the draft of the decree which
is discussed, as now, to the Corps Legls-
latif. But this draft is also and more pro-
perly called 'ttSenatus conssttun "-anoth-
er Latin phrase signifying both decree OF
the Senate and debate therein. Regular
Iv the "SenGtus consultotm was the form by
which the Roman people passed upon
law bv yea and nay vote, but they also had
the power of voting on measures not INTRO
dueed bv the Senate, and this power OF IN
Producing laws to the people for their vote
is what in France is called the ''pLebiscitoTy
power. and what the Emperor now reser-
YES for himself, independent of any action
his parliament may take. The "SenGtus

sovereign power in the Bonaparte family

support it to the fortunes of that family.
FEAST OF THE DEAD.-The Chinese in
San Francisco began on Sunday, Sd inst,
their annual Feast of the Dead, which Is
celebrated in the spring of the year, and
kept up for several days. Throughout the
day the laboring Chinese took to the ceme-
tery all sorts of conyeyances, loaded with
roast pigs, fruits, pastry, DC. There all
the deiicacies were spread over the graves
of departed friends, and around these they
all knelt and bowed number of times.
Friends were then invited to partake with
them of the refreshments, after which they
returned to town. On Monday, the
Weather Cinnamon repaired to the GENE

This question was asked the other day in
relation to a young man, "the only son Of

statement; and she further states her belief
that the restorative in question is the best

EVERY DAY BEINGS FORTH new testimony to
the efficacy of that Well-knOwn remedy, Hoof-
lands German Bitters. Many thousands Of
persons who are to-day suffering from disor-
ders Of the digestive organs, who are emacia-
ted, weak, and unable to attend to their busi-
ness, could soon become well, hearty and ro-
bust, by the use of a few bottles of this Bit
ters. Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, and De-
bility OF the System, soon vanish before
this powerful remedy. Its effects are almost
miraculous. .sss
Hon. James Ross Snowden,. Prothonotary
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, writes:
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14th, 1867.
Hnohand's German Bitters is q very useful
al ticle as a tonic, and as an appetizer. 1t is
not an Intoxicating drink, and may be used

How Matches are Made.

Large planks are cut up into blocks,
double the length of the match, and put
one at time upon the cutting machine
Two large knives, converging at the points,
are driven back and forth upon the block,
and numerous little clamps beneath wide
enough apart to pass one match between,
are pressed up, each taking off match at
every passage of the knives, at the rate of
sixty minute. The particles are packed
in square frames and placed in a kiln dryer,
ty-four hours. They are then taken out,
and by means of curious machines are
coiled upon an ordinary cetton band. On
each coil there is gross, or IA, 400 Matches
and the band is between each layer A
curious arrangement of the machine is,
that it will coil nothing but a perfect
match, and throw the defective ones aside
The coiling is slow, and one man can tend
five machines which will ordinarily coil
about one hundred and fifty gross per day.
After the coil is made up, the ends are
planned down even and put upon hot
iron, which opens the pores of the wood
Both ends are then dipped into melted
birthstone, into composition of phssphor-
us, glue and other materials, and hung
upon racks for ten minutes, at the end of
which they are dry. The coils are then
unrolled, the matches put in the square
frame, cut in two in the middle, boxed and
packed ready for shipment. The boxing
is mostly done by boys and girls, and the
smell Of the birthstone is said to affect their
health somewhat.-Nem XareN Journal.

A Situation Open.

The romance of the runaway darkey was
quite played out after the peoples of the
North and South had pecked their flints
for the final shot. Once in a while, how
shows Sambo's native humor, and how IT,
resistible was his hankering for the "boer

near the frontier, bright-looking negro,
who was thus addressed by one of the en-
inent persons usually found in such resorts:
81 s'pese you're a runaway slave" said
one, locking sharply at the new conner.
Feeling that he was pretty well away
from bondage, the darkey responded that
he was.
"Ah, indeed well, we're glad of it but
you don't seem to look very poor-havs
good clothes down SOUTH
Certainly" said the darkey, with some
pride. "Same clothes as my master.'
"But you got many good thrashing,
eh?"
"Never had whipping in my life
"Never thrashed " said another ''well,
but you nigsers don't always get enough
to eat, do you?'
"Always had enough, gemmen never

The Amazon.

Let u.s. following in brief abstract the
account of Mr.. Orion, touch upon some
prominent characteristics of this great
Lake of Lauricocha, just below the limits
of perpetual snow. For 500 miles it flows
swiftly through deep valley. Then, turn
ing sharply eastward, it runs $500 miles
across the great equatorial plain. Two
thousand miles above its mouth its width
is a mile and half, increasing to more
than ten miles at tie head of the delta,
where it divides, and, after running 400
miles, presents a front of hundred and
fifty miles upon the ocean. For a great
distance it is bordered by side channels OF
"bayous,'' as they are called upon the
Mississippi, named by the Indians igardpes,
or canoe-paths." From Santarem, the
principal town obove Para, one may pad
die thousand miles parallel to the river
without once entering the stream. For
twenty-five degrees of latitude every rivel
that flows down the eastern slope of the
Andes is an atfluent of the Amazon. 1t is
egon united their waters in the Mississippi.
\ half score of these tributaries are larger
the Danube xcepted-than any European
river out Of Russia. The volume of its
waters is greater even than the breadth of
the river would indicate. At Nauta, 2200
miles from its mouth, the depth is 40 feet,
increasing rapidly as it approaches the
ocean. The largest oceaE steamer could
doubtless steam 1000 miles up the ANA
ION.
The vegetation of the valley is exhuber-
ant. There is a bewildering diversity of
grand and beautiful trees, wild, uneon-
quered race ef vegetable giants, draped
and festeoned by creeping plants. The
moment you land upon the shore you are
confronted by solid wall of Vegetation,
through which, if you wish to proceed, you
must hew your way with axe OF macheta.-
Palms, of which thirty varieties are noted,
constitute the majority of trees. Then
there are "cow-trees," hundred and fifty
feet high, yielding milk of the consisten-
| cy of cream, used for tea, coffee, and Gus
tards. The "caucho," OF rubber-tree
though Of Il different species from that of
Fact Indies, produces gum which consti-
tutes most of the rubber of commerce
| Agassiz puts this tree forty or eighty feet
high, in the same class with the "milk-
weed of our American pastures. OF or
namental woods there is no end. Formest
among these is the Moira- Pininad, or :" tor
toise-shell WOOD the most beautiful in
grain and color of any in the world.
Enough of this is wasted every year to
veneer all the dwellings of the civilized
world. For many years to come the ex-
ports of the Amazon Valley must be mainly
the products of it's forests. Yet, strangely
enough, timber is new one of the chief ar
ticles of import at Para. A city of 1000
inhabitants, lying on the verge of great
forest, buys pine boards from the far-away
Maine! This folly will in time come to an
end. Contrary to all that we might cx,
pect, the climate of the Amazon Valley is
temperate rather than tropical. 1t is more
equal than in any other region of the world
Year in and year out it ranges from "a ia
s7O-the fair mean being so.

The Mound Builders in Colorado.

New evidence of the existence of the
MoundBuilders in the mountain ranges of
Colorado, similar to those in Montana,
Utah, and Nevada, have recently been dis
covered by Mr.. c. A. Deane, of Denver
lie found upon the extreme summit of the
snow range structures Of stone, evidently of
ancient origin, and hitherto unknown or
unmolcsted Opposite to and almost north
of the South Boulder Creek, and the sum
nit of the range, DR.. Deane observed large
numbers of granite rocks, and many of
them as large as two men could lift, ia a
position that could not have been the result
of chance. They had evidently been
placed upright in line conforming to a
general contour of the dividing ridge, and
frequently extending in an unbroken line
| for one or two hundred yards. The walls
and the mounds are situated three thou
sand feet above the timber line 1t is,
therefore, hardly supposable that they
were built for affairs of sacrifite- They
were not large enough for shelter or de
Tense. The more probable suppostien is
that, like tho large mounds in Montana ind
elsewhere, they were places of sculpture.
