AnatGnthHS and itS USes.-Amianthus or flexible asbestos is beginning to attract good deal of atten tion in Europe. It is found in Italy, the Alps and the Valley of Aosta. It is com posite of silicate of magnesia, and is in- combustible. The ancients understood how to weave the substance, and made lamp wicks from it, and winding sheets for the dead, and when the corpse was placed on the pyre the ashes were found inside, Napoleon the First had two shirts made from the material, which were bleached by fire. Lamp-wicks made of amianthus came much into vogue under the Restoration. An ex- hibition has just been opened in the Palace SimOnetti, in Rome, in which the Marquis de Bairera shows that we have attained the skill of the ancients Marquis is working thirty or forty beds of asbestos, and has effected several inn provements in it's manufacture. He shows it worked into thread and cloth, writing and printing papers, colored and board papers. Writing paper can be made from it at the relatively low price of four francs per kilogramme. This paper is manufactured at Tivoli, and is especially adapted for documents, &c. Two inventors have discovered a large mine in the Pyrenees, and are about to use the output for variety of purposes and on large scale. They have manufactured from it amianthus coal. which gives out great heat, and burns without carbonic acid. As it burns extremely slowly, it is really very economical. The pulp, they are sure, will be made use of for statues, medal lions and crucibles for the precious metals. One of the largest spinners in France is employing it in making of calicoes, &c.,, and if the article proves satisfactory, will prove of immense ser vice to humanity in preventing acci- dents from fire.
 Russtdn Remedy tor Hydropho6ia..-A correspondent in Land and Water gives the following Russian remedy for hy- drophobia In Saraton the inhabitants collect tEe larva of the rose beetle (cetonia aurata) which are chiefly found in the wood ants nests. The grubs are gathered in the spring, placed in earth, and their change or metamorphosis watched for. When this takes place, they kill the beetles and dry them. The powdered insect must be kept in her. medically sealed bottles, or the dried beetles may be kept in sealed pots and reduced to powder when wanted. Three beetles, powdered, is considered dose for an adult, given immediately after the bite. One for child and five for an adult in which the disease has de- clared itself. The effect is to produce long sleep, which must not be inter- rupted. The bite is also treated surgi- cally.
 The beetles caught on flowers are not so beneficial; they must be secured in the larva stage, and killed directly after they attain the image. Some of the Russians give their dogs occasionally half a beetle as preventive.

The Portland Standard yesterday
preseots the following Just and com.
rsehensire view Of the railroad situa-
ton:
"The people Of Seattle are not salts
fed with war Of words in regard 70
their internal improvements aud rail-
road projects. They 60 to work in
earnest, and while other sections ere
building railroads on paper. the first
thing the people know. Seattle will be
connected by rail with the extensive
and rich valley of Wslla Wal.s.
"The road il now completed dis.
tancs Of twenty miles, and it is pro-
posed TO construct another section,
which will take it to the summit Of the
mountains. next year. The Legislature
Of Washington Territory, passed an act
to allow the different counties to sub
scribe to the stock Of the road. and
there Is no doubt but what the counties
interested will take the full amount au-
tborized by law. This will construct
the road 1t . rapid rate, and we believe
it will not be three years before Eastern
and Western Washington Territory
will be united by railroad.
This will be Of the greatest benefit to
the people Of both sontions The east
ern part Of the Territory is IN need OF
everything which the western section
has in abundance. The wood. coal and
lumber, which il 10 expensive to the
people Of Wslla Walla ct present. will
be plsced close TO their doors. while the
productive wheat fields will find ready
and lucrative market on the Sound.
While We do not believe that Seattle
will be the metropolis Of the Pacific,
this connection will do much TO advance
it in both wealth snd population. The
capacity for producing has not even
been fairly tested in Walla Walla val
ley. It can produce more than all the
railroads can possibly move on . single
track. aud give 10 the Columbia river
twice or three times the amount which
is now brought down the river. It is
estimated that the Willamette valley
will this year have nearly two hundred
thousand tons of wheat for export
Wslla Walls valley has about City
thousand tons. The latter can equal
il not surpass the former. This trade,
of course, would become divided should
On outlet be created by the Sound. but
the increase Of the products would give
US fully ~ much freight from that sec.
ton AZ We now have, besides it would
be the cause Of stimulating our OWE
people in Eastern Oregon to increase
their produces.

THE RAIN TREE.

The Consul Of the United States Of
Colombia in the department. of Loreto
peru, has written from Yurimaguas to
President Prado. informing him that in
the woods adjacent to the city Of Moyo-
bamoa exists a tree called by the natives
Tamia.caspi (rain treel, which possesses
some remarkable qualities. 1t Is tree
OF about fifteen metres about fifty feet)
high when at maturity, and OF about
one metre In diameter at the base. and
has the property OF absorbing an i'm
mense quantity Of humidity from the
atmosphere, which it concentrates and
subsequently pours forth from its leaves
and branches In shower, and in such
abundance that in many cases the
ground In Its neighborhood is converted
into perfect bog. It possesses this
curious property In its greatest degree
in the summer, precisely when the
rivers are at their lowest and water most
scarce; and the writer proposes that 1t
should be planted in the more arid re-
gtons of Peru for the benefit Of agricul-
furists

WONORs TO A GRIMM A..

After Wilson was hanged at Jackson,
Miss, q week ago, q large number OF
oolered people assembled to receive the
remains and bury them. When the
body was removed from the plain wooden
coffin which the State had furnished, 1t
was still quite warm and moist. The
felon's neck had not been broken by the
fall from the gallows. and hts friends
thought that It might be possible to re-
suscitate the corpse. They stripped off
the clothing and rubbed the flesh for an
hour, but the soul could not be called
back to the scene Of it's crime, suffering
and expiration. The body was then laid
out and the coffin surrounded with
choice flowers; and for twenty-four
hours there was species Of, lying in
state, crowds OF colored people passing
around the bier. At night there was
shouting. singing, praying and preach
ing, and on the next day there was q
long procession to Baptist church and
an extraordinary funeral service, in
which q brass band took part.

THE NEW PANAMA MINE.

Specimens Of silver ore recently taken
from the Cerro de Pasco silver mines In
Peru show that the submerged portion
of the mountain Is very rich, and q
rough estimate shows that a body of ore
will be exposed by the new tunnel which
Henry Meiggs Is to build, worth from
sec, 00O, 900 TO $500, 000. 900. These mines
Nave lain under water fifty years, and are
scarcely known to the present genera
ton, though they had been worked for
$50 years. when the mines had to stop
on account Of the water. Peru has now
discovered that a tunnel can be built
which will drain the mountain COM
pletely, by draining off the lake from
which the water in the mine comes, and
she Is 80 much in earnest about it that
the first loads Of the now submerged ore
are expected to reach Lima in four
months. 1t Is predicted that within ten
years more silver will be taken out than
from the silver mines in Nevada.
