six years of uuremtting application., ;has
wasted nearly , all the- funds , that he

yeth himself; believes he has got it this

The enthusiastic, inventor showed how
the walking beam' was hollow, "and Its
interior formed 'an 'nribroke.n' circuit, in
which little' balls, partially filled with
mercury; were chasing each other in an
eternal pursuit ; how the air was exhaust
ed from the channel in the beam so that
the spheres Of quicksilver might play in
a!,vacum ;' how,' whena ball reached
the end of the' beam 1 farthest from the5
wheels, a valve was driven open arid the
sphere was' forced up into the top 'of the'
course to be again hurried on its ' unbro
ken route ; now the main wheel .had
quicksilver in some pf it pokes, , ready
at the! proper instant to' over-come ihe
weight of the balls at the further end of

u ABOUT A FOJiY . , f . (
An almost unparalleled circumstance
was noticed at Muirball, near West Cal
der. During the great heat that prevail
ed in the summer, an Iceland pony, the
property of Mr. John! Waddcll, contract-
or, was, for a time, left to his own free
will duriug tbo temporary absence of its
driver. -The pony, which had been driv
en tor a considerable ( dwtencc, and : was
seemingly actuated by a craving for wa
ter was observed , by the proprietor of
M u jrhaH. and others who chanced to be
in the vicinity, to deliberately walk a dis
tance of. full fifty, yards,,, and with its
teeth turn the cock of a water-pipe pro
jecting out of the road embankment, sup
ply itself with a draught of the refresing
beverage, readjust the:'eock, and return
to the position irt' whichlt was left.
This case is not bnly'paralleled, but sur
passed, by one that :occured at Leeds in
1764." A gentleman's horse was regu
larly turned into a field where there wasa
pump.the watcrof which never failed. -The
horse observed how thepnmp; worked,
and at last took to pumping for himself ;
thus saving the groom' the trouble "of
providing him with water.'' His mode
of procedure wal to Take the handle of
the pump between' his 'teeth.' an'd pump

THE FIRST TEA.
' California has added another to the
long list of productions, that her soil and
climate are capable of producing. The
foot-hill can produce the tea tree, and the
experiment' of Herr Sciinell at his plan
tation iu El Dorado county, on the red
hills-near Gold, Hill, in. growing a fine
article of tea, has been a grand success
and the first crop of tea has been drank
and pronounced by good judges 'to he
fully equal, if not superior, to the , best
tea imported. His plantation is in excel
lent order, and numerous Japanese plants
are thriving finely,' and bis Japs' are well
pleased with the country, and are indus
trious aud frugal,, and thi experiment
will prove the long-neglected foot , hills
to be the most' desirable' lands . in the
state.' With tea, silk, wheat, : and? the
vine, California can arid will become in
time one ef the richest states' iu the
