The dearest place is home .
'Tis there the fond heart loves to rest,
And never loves to roam ;
Whilst love plays round the smiling hearth,
'Tis heaven's own bliss enjoyed on earth.
Of all the joys that man can feel,
The purest sure are there ;
"While o'er his heart affection's steal
Like balmy summer air;
His wife's caress, his children's smile;
Unlike the world are free from guile.
Of all the gifts bestowed to cheer
Man's pilgrim path below,
The richest treasure resteth here,
Which they are blest to know,
Whilst love plays rotind the smiling heartH;

Xcwly Discovered Article of Food.
The Paris papers mention a vegetable pro
duction found on the high lands of the south
nf the Ftench provinces in Africa, and in Al
gerian Sahara, during the last campaign, which
hn been nointed out to the French Government
hy General Juss'uf. The new article is a li
. hen which is found in a great part of Sahara.
i ix nourinhing like the manna of the Hebrews.
The following is an extract from the report on
this subject, addressed by General Jussufto the
timet uor-Geueral. It is daied El-Beida, May
n 1S47: i. A.
VI Ravmond. assistant surgeon attached to
the corps, pointed out during ihe expedition of
Ust year, a soft ol lichen whicn ue louuu m -
i AAtinin nariH nfSeraou. and which
UUllUdllUC 111 V- . i i . '"' - -
appeared lo hira capable of being used for the
,ud of animals and pcrha'ps oT men. Consid
ering ihe advantages we might derive from this
article in our expeditions towards the south, in
eae it bhall prove 10 be suitable for ihe food of
men or even animals, 1 tool? advantage of the
inarch of my column across the high lands of
Semm and the southern region lo gain informa
tion on questions relating to the existence, ihe
nature, the production and the uses of this lichen.
" In the slate in which I observed it, and in.
which it appeared to be used, it is detached
from the soil, on which it is rolled here and
there by the wind, and has ihe appearance of
Kinall pieces of leather, of the color of the earth,
rolled and doubled up together. It is dry and
as hard as a grain of corn ; it is white inside,
and presents a farinaceous aspect when it Js
cru?hed ; its taste is very much like dried grain,
and a prolonged mastication developes a slight
degree of bitterness.
According to observations aTtd information
rthich has been collected we are certain that
it is .produced every year, after ihe rainy sea
aonvtiiider the form of moss; on ihe ground, to
which it is at first attached. The upper part
is theu whitish, that which lies ori the ground
takes live color of the earth. The sun then af
terwe'rds acts upon this substance, which be
comes dry, rolls itself up, and grows crisp. It
,)1Hn detaches it&elf from the soil, and ihe wind
drives it about and collects it under ihe tufts of
thyme, ihe only vegetable- which grows on ihe
laud where it is produced. r , . . ,

" I learn, moreover, that during years of
scarcity ihe Ouled Nayia make of the lichen
mixed wiih barley a coarse but very substan
tial kind of bread. I sent a specimen of this
substance and a copy of these facts to the dif
ferent commanding officers acting in the south.
" Dr. Rapmond adds to these details the fol
lowing observations: The nutrative properties
of this lichen, he says, are summed up in its
name of eatable, which the botanists bestow
upon it, and we find elsewhere long articles
which enumerate the results, of the analysis,
and show us howpch alimentary substance it
contains, and give us the conviction that it con
tains nothing hurtful.
"As to its identity, it is certainly the Lichen
Eseulentus, of which the Tartars make great
use. Their cattle feed upon it and ihey make
of it a sort of bread eaten by the poor,, and which
i hey consider a kind of manna sent them by
Heaven.
" General Jussuf, at Boghar, caused two
loaves to be made of the lichen ; one, contain
ing pure lichen, was softer and (had less con
sistency than the other, lo which more than a
lenih of flour was added. This last resembled
much the army bread, of which it had nearly
the samo taste. The nutritive qualities of this
bread cannot be denied, when it is known that
oneof our most distinguished chmeists, M.Payen,
has ascertained that a substance may be ex
tracted from the lichen the same in its proper
ties, its transformations, and its elementary
composition with the staich formerly pointed
out in it by M. Borzelitis. He remarked after
ward that ihe diastasis, in reacting on the jel
ly of the lichen, transforms all the starchy par
ticles into dextrine and sugar. It may then be
concluded with certainty that the army of the
expedition lo the south will find in this cryp
togarhia a sufficient article of food in case of the
failure of provisions."
Gcrmaa Salt Mines.
A correspondent of the Providence Journal,
in a letter dated Constance, June 3, thus de
scribes a visit which he made to the celebrated
salt mines near Salzburg :
From Salzburg, where I arrived the next
day, I made a visit to the celebrated salt mines
of Hallein. ,They are situated upon a mountain,
half an hour's walk from the town. Beneath a
handsome brick house on the summit of the
mountnin is the entrance to the mine. Another
gentleman and myself made the descent togeth
er. We were obliged to clothe ourselves in
large linen jackets and trousers, with a black
leather apron tied on behind, and thus pictures
quely accoutred, with a light in hand, we com
menced the subterranean excursion. We first
traversed a long, narrow, and gently descend
ing passage, cut in the solid rock, until we
came to a steep and novel railway, going down
fnto a darkness, which our light could not pen
etrate. The railway consisted of two smooth
and round beams, about half a foot apart, and
a roDo unon the right side which served as a
balustrade. We sal across the beams, our.right
leos under the rope,' which we grasped in our
hand, the guide being ahead, and as every thing
u-nc iinnrtr nwav we went at the rate of
twenty knots an hour down into the abyss.
Arrived at ihe bottom, we traversed another
long passage, cut not iff the rock, but in the salt
ore itself, ihe crystallized saline earth, from
ill's nneration of fresh' water, ihe
IIIVII J w ,1
clear salt, in the form of brine, is precipitated
These salt naileries are bordered on the sides,
floor, and roof. Soon we came to another rail
road.whic we shot down in the samcextraordin
dry manner, reaching a second level, of which
levels there are eih. Thus proceeding we
reached" at last a salt Ia"ke, illuminated for ,the
occasion, and over which we sailed, reminding
of the Stvx. We then
www o.
nassed through chambers containing portraits
of A'UHtrain Emperors, of Salzburg Archbishops,
and collections of minerals, until we arrived at
a wooden car upon which one rides a straddle
out of a mountaio. Seated upon this we were
swiftiy drawn by miners along the narrow rock
yallerv. a work in ltsell ol some nail a century
until at last we discerned the daylight at the
find of ihe passage, resembling at first an in
tense star, but becoming paler as we proceeded
We rushed into the broad day, having traversed
on of 14.988 feet in ihe womb, of the
mountain, and having been an hour and a hal
buried in its intricate windings. This mine is
supposed to have been worked even before the
Koinans were in uermany. n ueiunga iu nu3
tria. but runs under earth into the kingdom o
Bavaria. It is said that fourteen' days would
hn ronnirprl t.w-vhlnrfi it thorOUehlV. It IS al
ways supplied with fresh air and water, ihe lat
ter being necessary for the extraction of the
salt from the ore. This brine is conveyed by
pipes to Hallein, and there converted by means
of evaporation into pure salt.. The fresh water
springs found iu this mountain run so curiously
and providentially, that, though traversing en
tire salt status, they do not ever mingle or be
come tinged by the contact. The miners ae
healihv and live to an old age. They work in
dividually but six hours a day. Salxburg is an
ancient ccclehiaMcil city, built upon the site
if'a Roman colony.. No city m Europe can
boast a prouder situation. Its acropolis, crowned
by the haughty palace of the. Archbishop, tow
ers above it so that one from the battlements of
the castle looks directly down upon, tne joofa
and steeples of the town. The rapid Salza
pours through its centre. Grandly: - shaped
mountains rise on all sides of it excepting in
that quarter which looks towards the great plain
of Bavaria and the snowy peaks of the Tyro
lean Alpo bound Us horizon."
Recent, visit to Pitcairn's Island.
, Her Majesty's brig Spy arrived bfF ihis, isl
and on tho'26th of February, and was boarded
by George Adams and some more nutiveahort
ly after she hove to. George Adams is the son
of the celebrated John Adams, the father of the
colony, the mutineer of the Bounty. Went
ashore in -cutter, piloted by George Adams
Landing place, a very small sandy beach, wiih
many rocks, and in the least breeze impracti
cable. We were met on the beach by some of
the natives, who cordially welcomed us to Pit
cairn's Island, and. showed us the way io the
markei place, up a steep and rugged path, wind
ing along the cliff, and through, a beautiful va
riety of all kinds of iropical flowers and shrubs.
The scene, when we arrived at the summit, was
picturesque in the extreme. The whole of the
natives, men, women, and children, headed by,
Mr. Nopps, the schoolmaster, had assembled in
a space of about half an acre square, caipeted
with thick soft grass, and canopied overhead
bvthe spreading branches of the cocoa-nut trees
to meet the strangers, all of them being dressed
in their gayest. Their welcome was warm, all
of them advancing and shaking us by ihe hand,
and addressing us in. perfectly good English.
Wo were extremely pleased.by .their quiet and
decorus behavior. ' As soon as .we had made
acquaintance with thernall, we were, led thro'
gently winding paths ro the principal village,
where the court-nouse anu cumtu o.a..Uo,

before Lieutenant Wooldridge, commander of
the Spy, and who very speedily disposed ol

discontent or displeasure. The church is a

ses are the perfection of cleanliness and good
order, and each person has his plot ol grouna
lo cultivate. Their form of government is sim
ple: ihey elect a magistrate every 12" months,
upon which occasion every man and woman
above eighteen is entitled to a vote, and i mar
ried before that age they a7e allowed a vote in
consequence. The magistrate then chooses
an assistant, and the remainder of ihe people
choose again another, who acts as a sort of
check, which is, indeed.Iiule wanted, for ihere is
no place in the world where such perfect unan
imity and good feeling exist as in this happy
island. The number of inhabitants is one hun
dred and tniriy-fout, but tho island can support
many morerand ihey increase bui slowly. The
island' itself is only four miles and a half in cir
cumference. We Heard with pleasure that,
though several whalers touched ihere, yet in no
instance had any impropriety been committed.
Forty-six whalers, mostly American, had caljed
during ihe year 1846. They all appeared lo
lalk of Adams with the greatest respect, and
seemed to have a strorig feeling of the crime
that their ancestors committed in mutinying.--They'
talked in the most affectionate and loyal
way of "our Queen," and appeared exceeding
ly proud of being English, but complained thai
ihey were so neglected, ihe Spy having been
ihe firsi man-of-war whichjtad visited tKem for
more than ihree. years. They, however, were
quite saiisfied when told lhat ihe exigencies of
ihe service had lately prevented their being
visited so often. They begged earnestly for a
visit by a mah-of-war as often as she could be
spared from other duties; but, as George Ad
ams remarked, ihey "could not complain, as the
Government had already been kinder to ihem
than they deseived."
