are the dates of the appearance of the disease a)
the several placet named in Europe and Ameri
ca, at its former visit ; from which the probabili

The New Satellite of Saturn.—Anarti
cle in the London Atheiiffium shows, that by a
comparison oft heir respective records, Mr. Bondi
in the United States, and Afr. Lassi.i l, in Eu
rope, discovered the eighth satellite of Saturn so
nearly at the same time that the English ought
to say it was discovered by Bond and Lasscll,Un-
Americans by Lassell and Bond. Air. Bund,
however, it appears, saw it first, being on the
16th of September, hut regarded it as accidental;
while Air. Lassell did not observe it all until the
18th, when he made a “careful diagram.” Mr.
Bond also again saw it on the 18th, hut neither
of them “established the satellite’’ until the 19th
—then it was done simultaneously. Air. Bond
agrees with Air. Lassell in naming it Hy perion,
by which it will accordingly he known. Its pe
riod of revolution, according to the determina
tion of Air. Bond, is about2] days; it is, there
fore, in the order of distances, the seventh from
Saturn. We must say, however, that the “turn
about” courtesy of the Athenspum looks some
what affected, as, under the circumstances, we
feel most irresistibly impelled to award the hon
or of discovery to American science.
The City oe Jalapa. —Gen. Thompson, in
iiis Recollections of Alexico, says, “When the
atmosphere is clear, you may see the shipping in
the harbor ofVera Cruz with an ordinary spy
glass and the whirecaps of the waves with the
naked eye. The elevation of Jalapa above the
sea is a little more than four thousand feet. It
is situated on a shelf of the mountain ; the sum
mit of which, at Perote, a distance in a direct
line ofabout twenty miles, is still four thousand
five hundred feet higher than Jalapa. The whole
horizon, except in the direction ofVera Cruz, is
bounded by mountains ; amongst them Orizaba,
which is distant from Jalapa about twenty-five
miles. But from the remarkable clearness of
the atmosphere, and the sun shining upon the
snow, with which it is always covered, it does
not seem to he five miles. All the tropical fruits
grow there, and are cultivated with great care
and taste. It is not an exaggeration to say that
it is impossible for one who has not been on the
table lands of Alexico to conceive of a climate so
elysiun. There is not a day, and scarcely an
hour in the year when one could say, I wish it
were a little warmer or a little cooler. It is
never warm enough to pull oft' your coat, and
rarely cold enough to button it.
Gen. T. adds . —“No spot on the earth will he
more desirable than this for a residence when
ever it is in the possession of our race, with the
government and laws which they carry with
them wherever they go. The march of time is
not more certain than that this will be, and
probably at no distant day.”
(O’A. leech kept in a phial of water is said to
be an infallible weather-glass. If the weather
continues serene and beautiful, the leech lies
motionless at the bottom of the glass, and rolled
togother in a spiral form. If it rains either be
fore or after noon, it is found to have crept up to
the top of its lodgings, and there it remains till
the weather is settled.

Carolina Legislature on rhe 15th inst. in rela"

Self-Lamplighter —What will ingenuity
not accomplish next? Here we have an inven
tion, (says the New York Tribune,) by which
lamps or candles may be lighted at any moment
of time by a clock or a pull ufachord. I fattvc li
ed to an alarm clock a light may he produced at
any hour. In cases where people wish to rise
at a certain unusual time of night, all tint has to
be done is to set the clock and make the connec
tion of the lamplighter “all right,” and then,'
wien the hour comes round,you haven tampal
ready lighted at the-saine time. Certainly very
convenient. When not desired to he connected
with a clock, it can he attached to a chord termin
ating in some place near the bed like a bed-pull
so that it is only necessary to pull the chord to
produce a light previous to rising. It is design
ed, also, to he so attached to the bell handle of a ]
front door, that pulling the hell instantly makes
a light to see by in the hall, or any other part of
the house. The inventor is Air. Alexander Ben
nett, of New York.
Small Pox. —The St Louis Naw Era states
that this loathsome disease prevails in that city,
five or six deaths having occurred in one neigh
borhood.
The Indian Gong. —This instrument is made
of an alloy of twenty parts of tin and seventy
right of copper, which is brittle and malleable
when it is tempered, and can accordingly be
wrought easily, hut become hard, elastic and
brittle, when it is suffered to cool in the open
air. It is made ill the first of these states and is
afterwards rendered clastic and hard. If struck
with a hard body it would break, but if struck
with a piece ofleather, the sound is at first very
small, bit by vibration it is communicated to the
rest ot the mass and becomes a very loud and ter
rific noise
Hazel Eves. — Major Noah says tliata hazel
eye inspires at first a Platonic sentiment, which
gradually liut surely expands, and emerges into
love as securely- founded us the Rock of Gibral
tar. A woman with a hazel eye never elopes
from her husband, never chats scandal, never
sacrifices her husband's comfort to her own, nev
er finds fault, never talks too much or too little,
always s an entertaining, intellectual,agreeable
and lovsly creature. We have known some
such, vv th “clear blue’’ as well as “jet black”
eyes.
