A King Carrying around a Subscription Paper. 
—Among the items by the last California mail is 
the following:—The arrival often Sisters of Chari¬ 
ty from ban Francisco, is rather opportune, as our 
community has been a good deal stirred up of late 
on the subject of hospitals for the indigent sick 
among the natives. The Legislature at its late 
session appropriated $5,000 towards the establish¬ 
ment of a hospital at Honolulu, and the King, 
yielding to the urgent requests of his accomplished 
consort, started around town with a subscription 
book, to try and add to this fund. It was a novel 
sight, a King begging for his subjects, but Kame- 
hameha did it in a kiugly way, and the result was 
a noble subscription. Foreign residents princi¬ 
pally were those asked to subscribe, and they did 
so liberally, as Honolulians always do for “sweet 
charity’s sake." The King’s subscription had 
amounted to about $15,000 the last I heard of it— 
and this in Honolulu alone. The other Islands are 
yet to be visited by the King, when a large addi¬ 
tion may be expected to this already respectable 
fund. The result will be that a hospital for sick 
natives will be established on each Island of the 
group. 
From Santa Fe.— The New Mexican mail, with 
Santa Fe dates of the 27th ult., reached Indepen¬ 
dence on the 16th inst. Large numbers of the 
Camanclies and Kaw Indians were at Walnut, and 
the latter were endeavoring to form an alliance 
with the former, for the purpose of punishing the 
people of Council Grove for hanging two of their 
tribe a short time ago. The two companies of 
troops at the crossing of the Arkansas were not 
sufficient to hold the Indians in check should they 
become hostile. 
Mormonism in a New Ligiit.— A very strange 
thing has happened. The Episcopal Chaplain at 
Fort Laramie has been allowed to preach a gos¬ 
pel sermon in the Mormon temple at Salt Lake. 
The usual congregation of “Saints” was pre¬ 
sent, and gave the Chaplain a respectful hear¬ 
ing. At the close of the sermon, “Bishop ” Kim¬ 
ball and Brigham Young spoke — the latter in 
warm commendation of a part of the Chaplain’s 
sermon. ,

The government of India has recently published 
the result of a geological survey of that country", 
which contains many matters of scientific interest. 
During the five months’ duration of the surveyor’s 
visit, there fell in his field of observations nearly 
five hundred inches of rain, and there were only 
sixty-three days in which the amount was less than 
an inch. 
Special Hotkey 
Freckles. Of all the effects that exposure of the 
skin to the air or sun produces, the most disagreeable 
is called freckles or tan. If spread over the entire sur¬ 
face of the parts exposed, it is called tan; if scattered 
at intervals, freckles. The finest skins are most subject 
to them. The Kalliston, prepared by Joseph Burnett 
& Co., Boston, contains a peculiar erasive property 
which will remove these disagreeable stains. It is at 
the same time perfectly harmless, allays all tendency 
to inflammation, and renders the complexion clear and 
beautiful. —Boston Herald.

Flour—B y reference to our table of quotations it will be 
observed that we are again compelled to take 25@50 cents 
from the rates of all grades of flour. Nothing is doing, and 
holders are rather anxious to dispose of stock on hand. 
Grain— In wheat the prices have fallen off 15 cents # 
bushel. The figures we give are nominal—more guess-work 
than anything else-grain buyers are not in the market, and 
millers will not touch a bushel more than they need to keep 
mill gearing from the rust. Com, under eastern advices, is 
dull and lower. Oats in similar condition. 
Wool— But little is doing, and that at lower prices for 
best grades, *

Stereographs of Battles.— Dr. O. W. Holmes, 
in his scientific contribution to the last Atlantic 
Monthly, says:—The next European war will send 
us stereographs of battles. It is asserted that a 
bursting shell can be photographed. The time is, 
perhaps, at hand, when a flash of light as sudden 
and brief as that of lightning which shows a whirl¬ 
ing wheel standing stock still, shall preserve the 
very instant of the shock of contact of the mighty 
armies that are even now gathering. The light¬ 
ning from heaven does actually photograph natural 
objects on the bodies of those it has just blasted— 
as we are told by many witnesses. The lightning 
of clashing sabres and bayonets may be forced to 1 dul1 
stereotye itself in a stillness as complete as that of 
the tumbling tide of Niagara, as we see it self- 
pictured. 
Substitute for Imprisonment.—A correspond¬ 
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes from Jef¬ 
ferson county, Texas:—“ There is no county seat, 
but it is necessary to have some place of confine¬ 
ment for criminals; and as a substitute for a jail, 
the people have provided a large stone, weighing 
over three tuns, placed in the public square, with 
a large iron ring and long iron chain fastened to 
it, and when a poor fellow commits a crime, and 
the sentence is imprisonment, lieis fastened to* this 
chain by the ankle, and there remains night and 
bay; hut if liis crime be light, and he previously 
bore a good character, the judge in his mercy 
often allows him to carry au umbrella to protect 
himself from the rain and storm.” 
Negro Insurrection in Venezuela.— A corres¬ 
pondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, writingfrom 
1 aez to Cabello, reports an insurrection there on 
the part of the blacks. A judge of the village had 
been assassinated, and all the white women and 
children were compelled to take refuge in the ves¬ 
sels in the harbor. General engagements had 
token place between the blacks and the troops, but 
'vith no decisive result, as the blacks fled to the 
ush, where they could fire on their opponents 
"kh impunity. The war is one simply of races.

iROM Arizona.—P rivate advices to Washington 
rom Tucou, Arizona, dated July 2d, state that 
eschierahad arrived at Ilermosillo, and announced 
ts intention of driving all the Apaches north of

, ° ^ ac i l ” aild Apopta Indians seemed suppressed, 
anot her had broken out in the northern part of

ALBANY, July 25.—Cattle— There is no improvement to 
note, neither in the qnality offering nor in the tone of the 
market, so far as prices are concerned. There is a falling 
off m the receipts, as compared with last week, but still 
they are. too large to admit of better prices, and the depres¬ 
sion noticed by us for the past five or six weeks continues, 
without any promise of early improvement. Last week the 
fresh receipts were 3100— 2* 0 were held over and about 100 
came in on the country roads, making a total of 3400 head. 
This week the fresh receipts foot up 2800 head, to which 
may be added 200 held over, and about 50 that have been 
driven in on the country roads—giving a total of 3050, or 
350 less than last week.

Four New Agents’ Books, which are sold only to Subscri¬ 
bers, and for which they wish to employ canvassing Agents 
>o. every county in the U. S. and Canada. That busmess, 
with their books, is very profitable, paying from 8flOO.) 
to $2500 per year, and of which their circulars furnish 
the most conclusive evidence. To Teachers. Mechanics, 
Clerks, Farmers, &c„ it pays more than triple their usual 
compensation. The "crisis” is past, the crops are good 
and the times are now very favorable, rendering the profits 
unusually large and certain. Those, therefore, who now 
engage will find the business certainly profitable. They 
will send their new circulars, containing full particulars of 
the business, and “Practical Instructions” how to conduct 
it, free, to all who will apply to E. G. STORKE,

MAY WHEAT, 
HILL WHEAT, 
MEDITERRANEAN WHEAT, 
WHITE KENTUCKY WHEAT. 
We are storing some of our receipts of earliest ripened 
and unrest samples of the above varieties of Wheat, grown 
in Kentucky and Tennessee, for the use of farmers as Seed 
Wheat, which we propose to sell at prices merely sufficient 
to pay the extra expenses incurred by so doing, in addition 
to the current value of these wheats for milling purposes. 
" May Wheat” is probably the earliest known in Kentucky, 
ripens 1st to 10th of June, has succeeded perfectly in this 
State the present season, heads smooth, kernel short, 
plump, heavy, and bright amber color, and composes one 
half the stock from which is manufactured the justly cele¬ 
brated St. Louis Double Extras. 
“ Hill Wheat” resembles the May in color and qualities— 
heads bearded, kernel nearly as long as Mediterranean, 
and plump. 
“Mediterranean and White” are too well known to re¬ 
quire description, but from several experiments we are well 
convinced the use of Kentucky or Tennessee seed will 
hasten the crop several days. COBB & CO.,

A NARRATIVE OF SARAH JORDAN. 
BY MRS. P. L. UPHAM. 
Those who live in the secret of the Most High, and exer¬ 
cise a living and tender fellowship in all that relates to the 
dealings of God with his chosen and afflicted ones, will 
grasp, with eager hand, the little volume now presented. 
The work has been fitly named, for hardly in the whole 
range of religious biography can he found such a vivid ex¬ 
ample of the POWER OF FAITH, as is revealed in this 
touching and soul-meltinir narrative. 
Seldom lias a “higher Christian life” been so clearly un¬ 
folded to the eye and heart, as in the life experience of this 
suffering but rejoicing child of God. No devout Christian 
can read it without an uplifting of soul and a yearning to 
enter into the “rest” in which Sarali Jordan continually 
abode. Christianity is under a weight of obligation to the 
gifted compiler of this work, in thus presenting to the world 
fresh incentives to follow in the footsteps of ttie just.

THE EXPLANATORY QUESTION BOOK, 
WITH ANALYTICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES, AND AN 
INTRODUCTION, BY REV. EDWARD N. KIRK, D. D. 
The work announced is perhaps the most thorough and 
complete of any text book ever given to the public. It is 
topical in its character, covering a wide range of subjects, 
and containing fifty-two lessons—one for each Sabbath in 
the year. The plan of the work is entirely new and some¬ 
what original. On the left hand page is the lesson, and on 
the opposite page at the same opening are the 
‘‘ANALYTICAL NOTES.” 
These notes have been prepared with great care and 
ability, by a practical Sabbath School teacher, under the 
eye of Rev. I)r. Kirk, and will be found of invaluable ser¬ 
vice in elucidating the subject under consideration. The 
publisher would refrain from speaking with over confidence 
of liis own issues, but he utters the convictions of other 
minds than liis own in saying that as a prompter to thought 
and investigation, this admirable question book leaves hut 
little to be desired. It is in fact both a question book and 
a commentary combined. It is of extra large size and sub¬ 
stantially bound. Price 15 cents. 
Copy for examination sent post-paid to any part of the 
country, on receipt of the price in stamps.

ST HLLEN GUERNSEY, author of f Irish Amy,” 
“Kea ly Work,” “Kitty Maynard,r &c. 
The juvenile religious literature of our chantry is more 
largely indebted to our lady writers than to ary and all 
other sources. They have been called the educators of the 
nation, and well do they deserve an exalted place in the 
best affections of the people. They have richly earned it. 
Miss Guernsey is no stranger at trie firesides of American 
homes. Her name is a household word alike in the palaces 
of the rich and the cottages of poverty. 
Tens of thousands have hung with delight upon the words 
of this gifted lady in the half score of volumes she has 
given to the world, and thousands more will catch the words 
of interest that have dropped from the pen of this ready 
writer in the book now announced. 
STR AIGHT FORWARD is no ordinary work, as it is the 
production of no ordinary mind. It is a book for pirls, and 
no mother should fail to place it in the hands of her daugh¬ 
ter. With some it may cost an effort to secure it, but its 
perusal will disarm temptation, while the deep and tender 
spirit of Christianity which pervades the work, adds a 
double charm to its value.

M AN NY’S COMBINED 
REAPER A.JNT 3 D MOWER, 
WITH WOOD'S IMPROVEMENT, 
For tlie Harvest of 1859 . 
The subscriber begs to inform the public that he continues 
to manufacture this popular machine, and pledges himself to 
produce an implement that will fully sustain its former repu¬ 
tation, as the best combined machine yet introduced, and 
inferior to none, either as a Reader or Mower. 
It has had a steady and increasing popularity from the first, 
achieving a complete success in the first important trial at 
Geneva in 1852. It carried off the highest honors at the great 
National Field Trial at Syracuse in 1857; and amidst all the 
competition and trials of 1858, came out with more and better 
established points of excellence than ever before. 
The general principles peculiar to this machine, and upon 
which it is constructed, have proved so successful that there 
has been no attempt to change them. 
The main effort during the lust year has been to Improve 
its mechanical construction, to make it stronger and more 
durable, and sustain iffi reputation as the leading and most 
acceptable machine to the largest class of farmers in the 
country. 1 r 
Warranted capable of cutting from 10 to 15 acres ot grass

Patented February 83d, 1859. 
During the six years I have been engaged in the manufac- 
f fure of the Manny Combined Reaper and Mower, I have 
ven much thouglitand attention to the construction of what 
foresaw would be a great want of the Farmers—a lighter 
aud cheaper machine expressly for mowing, than had yet 
been made. 
And now, after the most thorough and repeated experi¬ 
ments and tests in every variety of field, and in all kinds and 
in every condition of grass, 1 am prepared, with entire confi¬ 
dence, to offer to the farmers and dealers of the United 
States, the great desideratum in this department of Agricul¬ 
tural labor-saving machines—a Mower, superior in its capac¬ 
ity for good work to any hitherto introduced, of easy draft, 
light, cheep, and durable. 
This machine I now offer as my latest invention, to meet a 
special want of farmers, and to place within the reach of all. 
a Mower that for practical working, cheapness and simplici¬ 
ty, will be without a rival. 
I build Two-Horse and One-Horss Mowers. The Two- 
norse Mower weighs 425 tbs., and cuts a swath four feet wide 
(or more if specially ordered.) The One-Horse Mower weighs 
30 tbs. less, (395 lbs.,) and cuts a swath three and a half feet 
wide. 
For a more full description of the Mower, reference is made 
to my Pamphlets, which will be furnished on application.— 
With each machine will be furnished two extra guards, two 
extra sections, one wrench and oil can. 
Warranted capable of cutting ten acres of grass per day in 
a workmanlike manner.
