Thi Bilics or Goliad.—A writer in the advo-
cate saya :
" Goliad la not only remarkable for tbe beauty
of ita surrounding scenery, bat, like many other
pises, in Texas, it has ita relics of antiquity, in tbe
shattered remains of a fallen Mission, which I also
visited and viewed with the most intense Interest
a&d reverential feelings. They bear a rude but
aad record of tronbled and stormy days. Tbongb
silent as to the character of the tumult of the time,
they still tell of a reign of a tempestuous and bloody
period, the terrific scenes of which may have
been enacted centuries ago, bnt yet remain un-
known to the present day—and npon which tradi-
tion has thrown but a dim and uncertain light.
"The ruins of Aranama present a vast gloomy
pile of fallen strength; and althongh enveloped
in mystery and silence, suoh as presides over the
' ce of thjydead, yet 'n inal«lni'maheap, and bro-
to whisper a «plriUcteTed mourn,
fai tale of the rending commotions of other days
to which they fall a victim.
" In the midst of the crushed ruins, stands a
tone building, and though bnt a fractional part o!
tbe entire establishment, it is quite large and of
great strength—the walls being of stone and over
four feet thick and so firmly built as to be equal, in
resisting, to a body of solid rock.
To look upon this last remnant of a once powerful
structure, bearing upon its surface the defac-
ing marks of time and calamity, standing alone
amid the dismembered and broken fragments of its
fallen family, reminds me of some care-worn, iso-
lated being bending mournfully over the gray tombs
of long departed ties.
" Tradition has fixed the impression that Arana-
ma was established and ordained for the purpose
of civilixing a tribe of Indians of that name,
which perhaps is true. It ia also said that a recort
of their design has been preserved and kept at
Zacatecas, among tbe Mcred archives of the gov-
erment of Mexico. This may be also true, but
whether this record—if there be one—and tradition
agree or not, I believe has never been ascertained.
Thk Mormon Tikpli at Salt Lajci.—a corres-
pondent says that they have spent about a million
of dollars on the temple, in work and money, and
yet the foundation is only laid. Tbe wall is ten
feet thick. Its description is given as follows :
It ia in shape a parallelogram, 163 feet long,
from east to west, and 100 feet wide, having an oc-
tagonal tower 40 feet in diameter on each corner.
The main building is to be nearly 100 feet higb to
the ridge of the roof. It is intended to build it
out of cut stone, and the Mormons, for the last {pur
years, have been unsuccessfully digging at a canal
along tbe "benches" to boat instead oi' carting the
stone. Its architecture is symbolical and origin-
al. On some buttresses will be representation of
globes in all positions ;on others the sun in its va-
ried phases; on others, Siturn with its ring, and
satellites; and in pompous Mormon style every stone
Eu its moral lesson, and all point to the celestial
world. It. entrance will be on the east side, and
will cousist of another tower. Surmounted by
pinnacles, it will " point upward coutinaally." It
Intented to bnild it ol adobe from the first story
upward,but they have since determined on erecting
it entirely of cut stone. It ia going to be the ehrf
cTocuvre of all human architecture, and is expected
to survive tbe conflagration that will some day en-
wrap the world. Its designer, Mr. William Ward,
who was also the sculptor of the lion on Brigbam's
bouse, has seceded from the Mormon faith and left
Utah. This will doubtless delay the saints in erect-
ing tbeir temple, if neither removal nor war should
do so.
The Tabernacle which now stands in one corner
of the Temple Block, is an adobe building, 126
feet by 64 feet. It is capable of seating 2000 peo-
ple, and ia the chief preaehing house of Brigbam
and his apostles.

John Cbinsm.n stepped into a jewelry store in
San Francisco, and inquired if they had any con-
sistencies ! On being asked to explain himwlf, he
didn't know what conalrienoy wm, but he had been
told it was some sort of a jewel, and he should like
one. He wm informed that it wm doubtful if any
ahopkeeper in the eity possessed the article.
A Lawtkr in one of the Western courts lately
threw a cane at tbe head of another. - The Court
required him to apoOgise for it. He did so, and
added : "While I am about it, I may aa well apoli
gise beforehand for throwing another cane at him

anexpreu company, of some uncalled-tor goods.

Iros Uabcíaotobis.—We are told that the pre
gent annual production of iron in the world is about
seven million tons, and that the United States and
England produce about two-thirds of that sum,Eng-
land in 1866 producing S,686,986 tons, and the
United States, in tbe tame year, 1,000,000 ton. By
various mode, of manufacturing, this great source
of a country's wealth becomes vastly enhanced in
value; and it hM been estimated by a writer in tbe
BritUh Quaterly that a bar of iron of the original
~ le of live dollars wm increased in value by manu
facture until it became worth a quarter of a million
dollars ; as thus: A bar of iron, worth $6, worked
into horse shoes is worth $10 60 ; in pen knife
blades, $3,286 ; in shirt buttons, $29,480 ; in
balance springs foi watches, $260,000.
Among many use to which the American im-
proved style of weaving iron ie applied, is that for
prison bars, the wires being of an; desired thick-
ness, and so woven, that to obtain egress through
them, they would have to be cut at every crossing,
a labor which no prisoner would attempt or be able
to accomplish. The patent process is the crinkling
of the vire, of any required size, before weaving it;
so that it becomes of that serpentine character ob-
served in fibres of cotton cloth when separated,

tonished to find that it hM a coat of armor much
more complete than ever a warrior wore, and com-
posed of strong polished plates, fitted over eacb
other, each plate covered like a tortoise shell, and
where they meet, hundreds of strong qaills project
like those on the back of the porcupine or hedge
bog. There are arched neck, tbe bright eyes, the
transparent cases, pierces to puncture the skin, a
sucker to draw away the blood ; six long jo nted
legs, four ol which are folded on the breMt all rea-
cy at any moment to be thrown out with tremen
dous force for that jump which bothers one when
they wish to catch him; and at the end of each leg,
booked claws, to enable him to cling to whatever
he light, upon. A flea can leap a hundred times
his own length, which is the same ae if a man jump-
ed to the height of 700 feet; and he can draw a
load 200 time, his own weight.
Silica.—In article, on Agriculture the word Sil-
lo is often mentioned, .ud many of onr young read-
ers, perhaps, would like to know what jt is, and
what it hM to do with whMt or corn, or the soil.
Silica is a mineral .nbstance, commonly known M
flint; and It is on. of tbe wonder, of tbe vegetable
tribe., although flint la so indeetruotable that the
strongest chemical aid i. required for It. solution,
plants posMMM the power of dissolving .nd secret-
ing it. Kven so delicate a structure m the wheat
.traw dissolves Silica, and every stock of wheat Is
covered with a perfect, bnt inconceivably thin coat-
ing of thla substance. This is what give. th. wheat
straw ita glMing, which looks so much like glMa.
Amid ¿1 the wonder, of nature whiob we have
occMion to explain, there is none more startling
than that which reveal, to our knowledge the fact
that a flint atoa* consiste of masses of mineralised
vegetable matter. The animal, .re believed to have
bwn infosorial animaleul* ooated with rilleious
.balls, m th. wbeat straw to-day Is clothed with
glMsy covering of silica. The skeletons oranimal-
cnlsa which compoM flint may be brought under
microKopio examination. Geologists h.ve some
difficulty In determining their opinions respecting
the relation which these animalcules bear to the
flint .tone, in whieh they areTonnd. Whether the
animalouln, in dense masses form the flint, or
whether th. flint merely suppliM a sepnlohre to the
countleM millions of creature, that, age. ago, en-
joyed each a separate and oonecious existence, I. a
problem that may never be solved. And what •
problem l*Th. buried slant being dtaentomed, after
having lain for age. In the bowel, of the earth,
give* us light and warmth ; and the animaloulte,
after a deep of agM, dissolve into md of a plant,

and produces sweet, calm and refreshing sleep. When
the appetite is entirely gone, one tablespoonful an hour
before breakfast, has an astonishing eflect, in vigorous-
ly giving tone to the stomach, and gently promoting the

In lustlco to yourself and a duty I owe to those who
may be umfortunately troubled with violent Coughing,
like myself, it gives the most sincere,heartfeltpleasure
to recommend your Cherry Expectorant.
In the fall of 1847, being in St. Louis, where I hsve
resided mostly during sixteen years, I took a severe
cold which settled on my lung.. 1 wm taecbed_
bled and blistered by iJocto UU Ured of my Ufe ¡muF^

never left me, accompanied with a disagreeable tick-
ling in the throat. I left St Louis in Decernberjlist.
to travel and spend the winter in the South. WMac l
called st your store at Vicksburg, my Coagh wsssb vio-
lent that 1 could not make my business known, fon
said you would cure my Congh,and handed meaUttle
of your Cherry Expectorant. I did not like to slight you
by not trying It, althongh I had no hopes of anytmig of
the kind relieving me of my unfonnnste Conghy as I
had so many things reccommended which turn
useless,but thankful am 1 for the day that I tria
Cherry Expectorant. After a few Coses, it r
sllay .ud diminish my cough and th. ticklln
throat, and before 1 had used three-fourths of |L
I was entirely cured, and for several week/d:
raise a cough althongh exposed to all we.th<
elaing. However, In March, while travelUnj
Carolina, I look a severe cold, and my cor
menced again, and also the tickling
