A San Francisco paper tells the followiDg:-A
gentleman about twenty-five years of age, ruddy
omplexion and curly red hair, who had an in
tractable and painful ulcer on the left arm, resist
ing all previous modes Of treatment, yielded to
the request of trying the effect Of transplanting a
piece of skin to the ulcer from another person.
The ulcer was prepared in the usual manner by
bis physician, and a bit Of skin about an inch
square was taken from the arm Of a fine healthy
negro man and Immediately spread over the ugly
ulcer and then carefully dressed and bandaged.
The skin transportation had the desired effect.
Healthy granulation sprang up, and the unsightly
ulcer soon healed. a few months afterwards he
went to his physician ard told him that ever since
the sore healded the black skin commenced 10
spread, and it was increasing. About one-third
Of his arm was completely negroed. The doctor
himself is alarmed. The high probability is that
the whole skin of this white man will become ne
gro. This is a new thing under the sun. 1t
would be rather difficult to explain the physio-
logical process which takes place to bring about
such a skin change as this. The problem is, how
can the coloring matter of the skin be 80 radically
changed? and how is this pigment change pro-
pogated2 1t is certain that the law Of capillary
attraction plays no insignificant part in the
spreading process. Grating pears on an apple
tree has communicated to the apples q pear taste.

Jenkins Position Applied for.

Mn. EDITOR Isn't it a pity that the Jenkins of
the Gazette has gone to California, thereby causing
a vacancy in the editorial staff, and which it ap-
pears cannot be easily filed? 1t must be a source
of deep regret to the patrons of that paper to learn
that his valuable ervices-accoTding to Wednes-
days issue-were dispensed with because the APP
preparation for that institution was not large
enough to allow him q sufficient salary cOnse-
quently, like the late band-master, he was COM
PEELED to emigrate in search OF remuneration equal
to his services.
The readers of the Gazette need not be at a loss
hereafter. after reading the graphic Hotel puff
which the description OF the Minister'S recent
sOiree is made the occasion for, to account for the
inanimate productions which have appeared in
that paper for some time past, as the writer I'M
blushingly owns to his Incompetence to do Justice
even to the description of the " brilliant new uni
forms of His Majesty's staff, - DC. The same con-
fession would be quite appropriate in regard to
many other subjects. which the writer appears
" quite unable to do justice to-"
I fully agree with the Gazette that it is a great
pity that the Minister Resident - didn't live in
town" and take the Hotel and keep it full Of
guests all the time :" What scenes Of festivity
there would be and who wouldn't wish to " visit
him often"
In that case, the position LETT vacant by the
lamented Jenkins ought to be Glled Immediately,
and as l am in want of a position where / can get
a better salary than I have lately been receiving,
/ would not mind accepting a position on the edi-
torial staff of the Government Organ, as there
appears to be considerable value attached TO the
services of those who have been employed on that
paper in former years, and as it seems to be a
stepping stone to a higher position.
l am conceited enough to think I would be a
valuable acquisition to the editorial staff, and if
the appropriations will not allow a sufficient salary
to make the position a lucrative one, / will Use my
best endeavors with several of my friends who I
am s,fe will be elected for the Legislature. to in
crease the subsidy for the Government printing
office. Yours, &c,

those wretched imposters who are industrious in
killing off the race. \ little child was sick, and the
E. doctor " prescribed a long list of articles to be
procured and used in various mysterious ways, TO
drive away the disorder. Among the indispensa-
Bile articles were a white pig, a particular sort of
fish. and a root of ava. The tips of the ears. nose
and tail of the pig were cnt Of, and with some of
the intestines, made into a mash and administered
