On last Friday there was an cXcava-

Joraeili-small square holes OF fireplace,
such rs arc in use in the present day, and
arc fed with charcoal-was found q
copper vessel supported by a tripod.
The vessel or saucepan was Theoretically
closed, and incruEtSd all over with ldpdIIi,
so that It required considerable force to
open it. But how great WAS the sur
prise Of those present to ind that it was
nearly full Of nAtsri The interior OF
the vessel presented no sign Of o1ida-

National Surgical Institute.
The Pacific branch Permanently nstAb-
lIGhNd In San FrAnoAs0S.

Since the hrIt visit of DR.. II. r. Allen
(the founder Of the National Surgical In
~stituto) to this coast, nearly two years ago,
1t has been the intention Of the Institute
to establish a Branch in San Francisco.
The subsequent visits Of other Surgeons
of the Institute, and the unparalleled sue
cess which attended them, has served only
to strengthen the project. After the cI-
penditurc of much time, labor and money
in preparing instruments, machinery, etc,
tho Pacific Branch is At last permanently
established, and will be open for the re-
ccption Of patients by the middle of this
month. For the present, and until further
notice, the business will be continued ut
their old building, No. $40 Bush street,
between Kcarny and Montgomery. The
machinery for the Swedish movement and
vacuum cure; Galvanic and Electrical ap-
p~aratus, and for giving the Electro Their
nal, Turkish, Vapor and other baths, has
NIL boon received from tho East, (whcre il
was manufactured in tho Institute ma.
chine shops), and is rapidly being placed
in position. DR.. j. N. Hinkle, one Of the
oldest and most successful surgeons Of the
Institute, associated with DR.. Thos. Mayor
and a corps Of skilled assistants, arc al.
ready in San Francisco, and will remain
there permanently in charge of tho Branch
1n%stitutei consequently no further ques,
tons need DO asked or fears unprecedented
concerning tho permanency and pro,
ficicncy Of the Pacific Branch.
DR.. Allen will visit tho Institute in Sar
Francisco on the goth Of this month, and
remain until the 10Th of Hay following
during which time lie will bo pleased Il
see all the old patients now under treat
ment, and as many now onos rs possible.
The Institute is especially prepared Ia
treat all Deformitios and Surgical cases,

Our TELL-TALE LIps.-Ihavc observed
that lips become more or less contracted
In the course Of years, in proportion rs
they arc accustomed to express good hu-
NOR and generosity, or peeyishncss and n
contracted mind. Remark tho effect
which n moment of ill-tcmpcr or grudgi-
ness hns upon the lips, and judge what
may be expected for mn habitual series of
such movements. Remark the reverse
and make n similar Judgment. The
mouth Is the frankest part Of the face; it
can't in the least conceal its sensations.
We can neither hide ill-tcmpcr with it.,
nor good; we may affect what we PLEASE,
but affcctation will not help us. In a
: wrong cause it will only mako OUR OBJ
servers resent the cndeaYor. to impose on
them. The mouth is the seat of one class
OF emotions, MS the eyes arc of another
or, rather, it expresses the same emotions,
but in greater detail, and with n more ir-
repressible tendency to be in motion. 1t
is the region of smiles and dimplcs, and
OF n trembling tenderness; of II shnrp
sorrow, or a full brcathing-joy, of candor,
of reserve, Of anxious care, or liberal
sympathy. The mouth out of its many
sensibi!ities, may be fIncicd throwing up
great expression into the eye-as
many lights in n city reflect n broad lus-
ter into the heavens.-Leigh Hunt.

Ice Signals in the North Atlantic.

A very beautiful and very useful sys-
tom of leo signaling has been recently
adopted by one of tho Canadian steam
ship lines, which promises to give great
safety and security to passengers crossing
: tho Atlantic. Tho company has issued
to oil its commanders an ice chart and
tallying leo signals, by the use of which
steamers passing ~cacl-otlIer can learn
whom and wlIcrc dangerous bcrgs md ice
fields have been encountered. The ice
Chart Is divided into degreta of longitude
and half degrees of latitude, nearly max
" ing squares, each Of which has a separate
literal designation. This in each section
OF thcc chart consists of two letters repre-
scnting two flags Of the commercial code.
and when the corresponding flags nrc
hoisted by n passing steamer they indi-
cato to tho passing ship tho exact position
OF tho ice met. The ensign hoisted above
these means berg ice, and the Union Jack
1ioldice likely to ~i,npcril navigation. The
flags arc, of course, only seryiccable in
the daytime; but at night the ice signals
are made by means of Columb's Chatham
lamps. The whole system is of extreme
simplicity, both in the chartand the code,
aud easily enables the steamer, after pass
ing through the ice track near NcwfOund-
land, to communicate to the steamer ap-
preaching it the precise place of peril,
and therefore the imminent necessity of
extreme caution in nearing that point.
Tho adoption Of this or some similar
cycode by oil. the transatlantic steamship
companies cannot be too urgently sought
after, and it is n wonder they have not,
for their own safety, long since devised
one. Grcat rs has been tho advances in
modern navigation, no navigator has yet
found any means Of detecting the pres
cnce Of an iceberg until he has approached
far within the circle Of great danger,
The fact that the floating ices Of the At.

worlds and upon which their
stealthy movements nrc concealed by fog
10 must always make them the objects 0i
terror to the marincr.-Stdr in The West
