DANGEROUS GRoUND.-The Paris EUensment relates that few days since man who was digging in his garden at Rosny, came upon shell half buried in in the earth. He struck it with his spade, when the missile exploded and the unfortunate man was blown to pieces. Another accident of @ similar character occurred a few days previously at Er- among his purchases, shell, which be- ing unable to sell, he placed upon the pathway of his house, and endeavored, with heavy hammer to break it up. The shell being still charged, suddenly ex- ploded and tho man was killed upon the spet, hss nnahs being torn from his body.

RENT HoL1s.-The Emperor, William I. of Germany has a private rent roll of one and @ half million of dollars. Wm. B. Astors is double that. Cornelius Vanderbilt's and A. T. Stewards incomes are greater than that of the German potentate twice over, perhaps more. It may be doubted whether, with the ex- captions of the Rothschilds and one or two other of the great money kings of Europe, any country in the world has three private citizens, or kings, or mo- bies who have incomes so large as those ef the three persons ws have named.

Now AND THEN.-To those who re- member California as it was in 1S49 the commercial reports of the San Francisco journals of the present day must be high ly interesting reading. A statistical summary of the commerce of that city for the nine months ending Sept. 30, contains some facts which will appear very strange to those who have not care fully watched the surprising growth of California in the development of it's in- dustries, apart from mining, during the past ten years. During the nine months named there was exported from San Francisco 5,O00,0O0 bushels of wheat, 1S8, ,000 barrels of flour, 40, ,OOO sacks of barley, about 2,O0O, 900 pounds of wool, All 1000 gallons of wine in the wood, and 7,91S cases of the same in bottles. All this is in addition to the products sent to the Atlantic States by way of the Pacific Railroad. Of the flour shipped from San Francisco 83,O00 barrels found a market in China. The demand for Cali fornia wines is constantly increasing, and with the increased demand comes greater care in their manufacture, resulting in a more valuable product. The business of wool raising promises to reach gigan. tic proportions in California in the course of time, provided the growers will ex- hibit as much care in preparing their crops for market as they have shown en- ergy in improving the quality of their fiocks.-N.

MEN OF FEW WoRDs.-Some men use words as rifemen use bullets. They say but little. The few words used go right to the mark. They let you talk and guide with their hands and face, and on and on, till what you say can be an- swered in word or two, and then they launch out sentence, pierce the matter to the quick, and are done. Your con- versation falls into their mind as a river into deep chasm and is lost to sight from it's depth and darkness. They will sometimes surprise you with few words that go to the mark like gunshot and they are silent again as if they were reloading. Such men are safe counsel lers and true friends where they profess to be such. To them truth is more val uable than gold, while pretension is too gaudy to deceive them. Words without point, to them, are like titles without merit, only betraying the weakness of the blinded dupes who are ever used as promoters Of other mems schemes.

 WINNING GOLDEN OPINIONS. Perhaps no man living has won more golden opinions than Dr. Walker, as the enor- nous and widely increased sale of his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BTrTERs attests. We never look into one of our exchanges, but there is panegyric of the Bitters staring us in the face. Our readers will say that there must be reason for all this praise They are right. The eff cacy of this celebrated medicine is estab- lished by evidence which it Is impossible to doubt. Among the thousands who have borne testimony to its excellence, there is not one dissentient voice. In very many phases of inorganic disease it seems to be unfailing, All diseases aris- ing from vitiated state of the blood are surely eradicated by it. It is an effectual remedy for pulmonary complaints, bili- ous, remittent and intermittent levers, rheumatism and dyspepsia. It purges the body of all unhealthy humors, gives tone to the system, and where the vital powers are enfeebled, restores their func- tions to vigorous and healthy action. All this it does the more effectually be- cause its operation is not interfered with by the presence of alcohol. The VINE GAR B1TTERs is perfectly free from any such hurtful ingredient. We have al- ways believed that plants contain the true remedies for disease, and aW the remedies necessary. Dr. Walker is on the line of real progress, and we hope that he will not rest on his present dis coveries. Com.

AMUSEMENTS.


Aiken last night occupied the stage
( vacated by Byron. His company nor
his play are in any sense Improvements
up0n those Of the latter. Partaking
somewhat of the same nature they ad-
nit Of comparison, but we do not think
ID worth while TO make it. 1t would not
add to the weight Of our columns
or the intelligence of our readers, yet II
is only fair to say that while sensational
TO a degree, challenging not only the
admiration but the running comment OF
the gods the Witches Of NeU York
wants much Of the dash which charac-
terizes Byr0n's plays, and makes that
eudurable that otherwise would be too
hot for even hardened cases. The first
act, Notwithstanding the company did
not arrive until six O'Clock, wento of very
smoothly, the second improved on that,
and so on TO the close Of the fifth act,
which, contrary 10 expectation provoked
bv the unfolding of the plot, ends hap
PLY enough. Aiken is a good actor. In
all the changes which he assumed last
night he sustained himself admirably.
HIS makeup in every instance
was good, only his voice,
which has a sharp, nasal twang,
BETRAYED him. 1.-the Of figure, he
is quick; and thoroughly self-pOssessed,
he is easy and graceful. What he has
10 do he does well. Playing in his own
play, he is master of the situation, and
could not do otherwise. His company,
selected with a view to a fair rendition
Of his piece, aud, thoroughly drilled,
sustain him vel. While we are free -
confess that the Witches Of NeW York
does not meet interpretations, raised a.
il was to a very high pitch by the
pufs which preceded it, yet it will take,
and, We have little doubt, will fill the
theater every night during the week, as
il did last night.

ACCIDENT.
A Rotten Bridge Gives way Under a
Horse-NO Great Damage Done.

Yesterday morning, while Colonel w.
T. Avery, Clerk Of the Criminal Court,
was coming into town, accompanied by
his son and daughter, in a rockaway,
n Of the bridges situated between the
terminus Of the Shelby County turnpike
on Poplar street and his residence.
suddenly gave way under the horses
feet. In an instant the animal was sus-
pended between heaven and earth
among the broken timbers, and the oe-
eupants Of the vehicle had to scram-
bic out Of the tumble In the best
ann possible. A number OF negroes
working in an adjoining field quickly
came to Colonel Avery's assistance, and
the horse was extrieated without delay,
having only sustained a few bruises,
but, in order to do so, the harness had TO
be cut almost entirely to pieces. The
bridge in question has been frequently
complained of, owing to its insecurity,
and, as the County Court is at present in
session, this matter ought TO receive
prompt attention, and it would not per-
haps be out Of place II some inquiry
were made why the Turnpike Company
does not extend their road according to
the terms OF their charter. The road, 90
far as it goes, is capital, but a little more
oft would be duly appreciated.

1t is pleasing to be able TO state
that there is a splendid prospect that a
very fine sacred edifce viii be com

ing at nine o'clock.
About six O'Clock yesterday evening
the chimney at the east end Of the build
ing occupied by Mrs Oherty's millinery
store, took fire, and for a little whilepre-
scented quite a dangerous appearance,
and it being the hour when people were
winding their way hOmeward from the
labors of the day, an excited crowd gath
cred in the vicinity. Some gentlemen,
however. soon made their way 20 the
top OF the building, and by removing
some portion Of the chimney, which
allowed free vent to the flames and soon
the buildingwa entirely beyond danger.
