J. C. supplies the Crowned Heads of England and Franco and the chief of the aristocracy. By the use of his "Spanish Meal" any quantity of birds can be raised. The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; the loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun dred. Gapes and map (the two most fatal diseases which attack game) the birds have been and always aro free from. This is attributable to their robust constitution and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of feather to the greatest advantage; they cannot be sur passed. - The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the Noological Society's Gardens, London, and his Imperial Majesty's Pheasantry at Compigne and St. Germains, are fed with my food.

COOPER, Soc. $5, CtilqtAltreQt ciVAP6ICI9 DEPUTATION TO THE AMERICAN MIN ISTER TO GREAT BRITAIN. Last Saturday the deputation from the British branch of the International League of Peace and Liberty presented Mr. Adams with an address on his approaching departure. Mr. Beales was the spokesman. He said the League consisted of mem bers from almost every European nation, with the great patriot and champion of civil and religious liberty at its head. War they regarded as a deadly game, played for the purposes of dynastic rulers and arbitrary governments, at the cost of the happi ness, the property, and the lives of their subjects and peoples, as the natural ally of despotic and un controlled power, while peace is the natural ally and handmaid of freedom. They believed that unless purposely inflamed, no two peoples would voluntarily engage in mutual slaughter, especially now when unfettered commerce, rapid international intercourse, and universally extending knowledge are daily growing. It was a holy duty, imposed by precept and principle of religion, by reason, by the true dignity and welfare of mankind, to dethrone the horrible Moloch of war, and establish the rule of international amity and the reign of peace. In thus aeking, we believe it to be in accord with the sentiments f most of our brethren and kinsmen in the great Republic. He alluded to the disbanding of the vast military and naval forces immediately on the conclusion of peace in America, thus pre senting a striking contrast to the enormous armies kept up by imperial and monarchial rulers. It was under these circumstances, they expressed their warm esteem and regard for Mr. Adams, the repre sentative of that country, who, with such distin guished ability, and by a singular combination of talent, moderationand sound judgment under trying, even exasperating, difficulties, assisted to pre vent a frightful and fratricidal war between Great Britain and the United states. The address from the League embodied these sentiments, and the following was the reply of Mr. Adams :—" Mr. Beales and gentlemen, I am happy to receive you, and to hear from you the expression of the friendly sentiments which you entertain towards my countrymen and myself. It is no part of my province, nor my wish,-to draw a line of distinction between individuals or classes of the community of which you make an influential portion, nor yet to enter into questions which belong particularly to yourselves. It is enough for me to be assured of your goodwill, and to have reason to believe that it is now gene rally entertained. (Hear, hear.) As for my self, having had the satisfaction to receive the full approbation of my country for the action which you likewise commend, it naturally follows that the compliments you pay me are even more deserved. by the authority without which I should have been powerless. (Hear, hear.) If such be the ruling spirit of both sides, I am at a loss to perceive the reason of your alarm about unsettled questions. Where the will is good, some way to arrangement is sure ultimately to follow. In my belief the sum of all true diplomacy is to be found in the Christian maxim of doing to your neighbour as you would have him do to you. If all nations were to carry that rule into practice there would be no wars and few controversial despatches. (Hear, hear.) I pray you, gentlemen, to accept my earnest wishes for the health and happiness of each and every one a you." The Revolution is original, and iturelty attracts. Being something new, we cannot roffrain from again referring to the numbers which now pour in steadily upon us. The merry chime of " Train," which rang before like joy -bells, has subsided into the slow ding-dong of the minute bell. The Ambassador is quoted, alluding to the Revolution's " sad mistake in accepting as an ally, one of the most notorious mountebanks of the day," and " in making their paper a mouthpiece for that buffoon." Instead of accepting this, the editor unhesitatingly declares that Train who had worked through nine States of the Union, who had helped them to establish the paper, was of far greater value to them than those who gave advice and did nothing, and in this we fully agree with Mrs. Stanton. The American Presbyterian says," Miss Anthony's new papersmacks too strongly of Train oil ;" adding, "Train, that embodiment and exaggeration of all our national weaknesses and follies, had better be kept at rest." Again the editor defends Mr. Train. "If," says the Revolution, " Train is the embodiment of all our national weaknesses and follies, we wonder Victoria did not put him into the British Museum instead of in prison ; perhaps she thinks there is method in his madness." We think that Train embodies far more than American weaknesses and follies, and we like to see the lady editor coming forward so ener getically in his defence. His pictures of Ireland have in them the same dash of truth which can be seen through his wildest declamation. Mr. John Bright's brother, Jacob, has been elevated by the Rerolution to the dignity of Honourable. Members of the English Parliament are not termed Honour able except in the courtesy of addressing each other in the House. If he is a soldier, he is termed the " gallant" member, if a lawyer the " learned," while ordinary members are termed the " honour able ;" but this is• confined to the walls of Parlia ment, and not us >d as a prefix to the name outside. E.C.S. is an apostle of Temperance ; the statesmen and those who attain the highest places, at all given to intemperance, come under her lash. We fear General Grant must have refused point blank to subscribe, and Horace Greeley gets a rap on the knuckles for even thinking of supporting the General. " Republicans and Democrats all admit that Grant drinks, and many reliable persons assert that they have seen him drunk in the streets of Washington. Yet, darest thou, 0 Horace, say that thou wilt sup port such a man if he runneth ? 0 Horace, Horace, wilt thou be a hypocrite ?" There is an admirable article on Temperance by J. P. Root, M.D. " A Mother to her Daughter" gives some excellent advice on diet. The Courier des Etats Unis is touched on, as it reproduces what Mrs. Stanton said when describing her canvas in Washington. The editor is congratulated on reading the Revo lution, "as through its teachings this Frenchman may finally become a man in the best sense of the word, and advocate true doctrines in his paper. Strained wit is painful to the hearer, and 'one soon discovers that even the Court language of Europe is not too smooth and oily to furnish a vent to men's wrath, when women make any demonstra tion toward obtaining the franchise." Nearly all the papers in the Union have copied the few words Mrs. Stanton said in regard to Senator Conkling, " which is a significant fact, showing that men are not so far above the vanities of this world as to be indifferent to the praises of women—that they are quite as susceptible to flattery as women have ever bad the reputation of being, a reputation attributed to them mostly by men. Nothing would please these editors be ter, every mother's son of them, than to be called fine-looking by a sensible woman." A Washington correspondent describes Benjamin Franklin Wade. He was born in the same year and section of the country as John Brown, the liberator, and both moved to the northern part of Ohio at an early age. Ile (MI not enter any col lege, but, as working boy and student, farming, teaching school and studying law, at 27 years of age he was admitted to the bar. During the next twenty years of his professional life he was Justice of the Peace, Prosecuting Attorney for Ashtabula county, Ohio, State Senator and President of a judicial circuit. He entered the United States Senate in 1851, and having been twice re-elected, be is now serving his seventeenth year in that body, of which at the commencement of the 40th session, he was elected President. In person Mr. Wade is of medium height, with a thick-set, square -built frame. He has a benevolent face, is a genial and hearty man, plain in dress, plain in speech, and plain in action ; he reminds you at once of some good old farmer. His appearance, his substantial character, and honest, straightforward speech and ways, have long since earned kin the sobriquet of the " Noble Old Roman" of the Senate. E.C.S.'s letter from Washington is always of in terest. She writes without the slightest reserve, giving a candid opinion of all the men she meets there. How they like it is another question, though it can scarcely fail to amuse the other readers of the Revolution. She says," Gen. Butler's restless manner, and indescribable face arrested my eye at once. There is that in his air and dogmati cal way of speaking that tells you he is a noteworthy person. Stevens looks languid and pale ; when. his time comes may he fall in the tragic style of Chat ham and Adams. His youthful wig, however, does not sit well on his aged heal. The two most fre quent talkers on the Democratic side of the House are Chanler, of New York, and Eldridge, of Wis consin, both bores. Two of the ablest and most gentlemanly members are Brooks and Pruyn, of New York. Brooks, however, is a handsome man, and Pruyn probably has the most cultivated mind in the House. A cursory glance would at any time divide the House into three classes, viz., the gentle man who has the floor, who is thundering at the Speaker, and thumping his desk without apparently any listener ; a score of members writing letters, franking documents, clapping their hands at the pages, who chase back and forth with missives ;1 and those who are intently eyeing the ladies' gal- lery. As a general rule the members are well dressed, and the heels on the desks fewer than of yore. But the hazing to and fra completely be wildered us, and would bring all business to a dead stand if nine-tenths of it were not mere sham for the Congressional Globe and buncombe, and of not the least consequence to the country at large. We had not from the published reports, a very high opinion of the talents of our members ; but we were surprised to learn on the best authority that probably two-thirds of the set speeches read from manuscript are not the production of the men who deliver them, but are prepared by newspaper reporters and other literary gentlemen in Washing- ton. This is really disgraceful. Count forty on your fingers—and the rest had better never have left their homes. The ablest man among the Demo- cratic Senators is Reverdy Johnson, but he is the homeliest in the Capitol. A glance at Mr. Sumner shows that care is tracing deep lines on his face. His expression is sad, his hair is turning grey, and his manner is more subdued than of yore. Report says that his brilliant Senatorial career will close with his present term. Wilson is politic, practical, prosaic, prejudiced, and acrimonious, and, as he aspires to the Vice-Presidency, has prepared for that high position by subscribing for the Revolution. We caught a glimpse of Garret Davis, but fell in with the current, and left the gallery as he rose to speak. Our witty friend General Nye had fled to New Hampshire soon after our arrival. Wash- burne, of Illinois, whom the Democrats call Grant's trainer, looked rather young for the father of the House." E. C. S. wonders what it is in the name of VVashburne that has given for twelve years its owners a proclivity to Washington, four of them being in Congress. They all voted on the Re- publican side. We were impressed with the peculiar . _ air and face of General Logan, who was among the live men, however it may be with the fanlow chief. I E. C. S. had a pleasant interview with the future President, Benjamin Wade, when the follies and crimes of social life were discussed. He scorns re ceptions, fashions, and women who have no sense of their own rights and true dignity, having no hope of realizing the Republican theory of Govern ment until the women of the nation are baptized into the idea. He saw no reason why American men and women could not be permitted to choose what style their clothes should be, as well as the French people. E. C. S. told him the best way to trepan custom was to give women the ballot, and change butterflies of fashion into thoughtful, re sponsible beings. E. C. S. closes with another slap at Grant, who drinks wine every day. We have little doubt that E. C. S. will have an effect on Washington. Congressmen will know that there's a "chiel among them taking notes—and faith she'll print it;" and that what she prints will be read in the clubs of London as well as in the reading rooms of New York. — Anglo-American Times. ALASKA. From the late action of the Californian Senate, moving Congress to use all justifiable means of securing to the United States, the British dominions on the Pacific, we may judge that the people desire to establish a great Pacific Nationality, embracing the coast line of the Continent, from the southern extremity of California to the North West Passage. The territory is, in truth, calculated to form a mighty empire, containing every variety of climate and production. Enough is known of California to class it in the highest rank among the regions of the globe. Almost everything grows \ there, and it is a marvel of mineral wealth. The development of its manufactures has kept pace with that of its mines and of its agriculture—the three great branches of industry having now reached a stage of progress of which, when told, men of old nationalities consider to be almost incredible. The annexation of Alaska has given a strong impetus to the Californian wish to unite the Pacific Line of the Northern Continent under one Government, with its trade centreing in San Francisco. The purchase of Alaska has been too recently completed, and the territory has hitherto been too little known, to enable the Cali fornians as yet to form any clear notion of its value. Immediately on the treaty being announced, a scientific expedition was dispatched, but this was not early enough in the summer, nor on a scale sufficiently comprehensive to collect the information desired. Still much has been accomplished, and a general knowledge of at least the appearance of the country obtained. The coast line is intricate, the ranges high, bold, and irregular ; in many instances rising to grandeur. When the vicinity of Sitka island was reached, the expedition was surrounded by rugged snow-capped mountains. Through the clear atmosphere the huge ranges could be seen at vast distances ; some of them throwing up volcanic cones, such as Edgecorub, which marks the entrance to Sitka Bay, and Mounts Fairweather and St. Elias, the latter sometimes visible to those 150 miles away. A second series of volcanic hills commences at the head of the penin sula of Alaska, extending southward, and forming the peninsula, then curving to the west and rising in the long chain of Aleutian islands, which stretch like stepping-stones to the Kamtskatka coast, trending north-east and south-west instead of north west and south-east as on the coast of the main land. Unimak Island is said to present the most remarkable view of volcanic cones and peaks to be found in the known world. Shihaldin and Pogron maja rise in graceful and unbroken symmetry from the sea to a height of 10,000 feet, with a low volcano irregular in outline between, called Destruction Peak. It is thus named as it is a volcano in .an early stage of develop ment, which in 1863 caused the loss of many lives by an eruption. On the island of 0 analaska Mr. Blake landed with some officers of the expedi tion, aLM made the ascent of Makuskin, an active volcano on the northern end. Its height he gives approximately at 5,600 feet; the snow line, 3,168 feet; at 2,500 feet vegetation ceased, except the " red snow," which commenced a thousand feet be low the summit. The hills were covered with a thick growth of grass, but the island, wholly com posed of volanic rocks, was destitute of trees. Mr. BLAKE says, "The published and glaringly inaccu rate charts of the north-west coast, north of Van couver Island, fail to give an adequate idea of the vast archipelago of islands and network of channels with which the whole coast of British Columbia and that of the lower and eastern part of Alaska, below 59 degs., are fringed. The Straits of Fuca are the southern point of this complex system of labyrinthine channels, which afford peculiar facilities for inland navigation." Amid the rugged mass is the island of Sitka covered with its beautiful spruce, remarkable for the grace and the mathematical regularity with which its brauches.grow from the central stem. The rough ness of the island in common with those in its vici nity and the coast line makes it peculiarly difficult to investigate the geology. A heavy growth of timber covers the steep hill-sides intertwined and obstructed by masses of fallen and decaying trees overspread with thick moss and always saturated with water. Though the distance across the island of Sitka was not more than 20 miles, Mr. BLAKE asserted he had yet to hear of the white man or Indian who had crossed it. The rock is a hard grit, sometimes coarse, often passing into digillitte trending parallel to that of the coast, and extend ing south to the " Deep sea," a remarkable fresh water lake 12 miles S.W. of Sitka, where syenetic granite occurs. Limestone highly crystalline is found North, and within a few miles of the town. The Mining and Scientific Press says, " Along Chatham Straits, east of Sitka, the jocks are meta morphic, stratified mica schist, standing almost vertically, and showing a parallelism in their trend to the line of the coast and of upheaval. Glaciers are common along the inland waters north and to the hack of Sitka Islapd. Three of these sweep grandly from the mountain gorges and rush to the water's edge, generally terminating in a low cres cent-shaped flat, formed by the wash from their terminal moraines. In Icy Straits, north of Sitka Island, the ice from them falls into the sea, and so great is the accumulation as to render navigation dangerous. In latitude 50 deg., along Chatham Straits, every marked depression has its glacier of greater or less extent. These glaciers are to be seen at points as far south as the mouth of the Stickeen river, and the lowest known limit on the coast is about latitude 54 deg. in British Columbia, east of Port Simpson." Good coal and paying quantities of gold, Mr. BLAKE says, are yet to be discovered. Copper abounds on the dangerous Copper River, and magnetic iron ore and galena are reported. Fossils of the carboniferous age occur at Cape Beaufort on the Arctic coast, of the Jurassic period on the east coast of the peninsula, tertiary fossils on Kodiak Island, and several other points. The resources and capacity of the country those who know it best assert to be considerable. The fur trade and the fisheries alone would supply remu nerative labour to many persons. There are, it is believed, 700 Americans now in t he territory, and 7,000 Russians and half-breeds permanently located there.—Anglo-American 7 imes.

The house of a man named Speers has been the object of some mysterious destructive agency for weeks past. The owner was thrashing oats in the barn, and in every sheaf he found two or three small stones. This went on so long that he found himself compelled to cease. Then he was startled by a noise in the stable, and he went in there, carrying his flail with him, which he dropped behind the horse, that he might fetch away a tub from the animal's head —and 10, the flail disappeared, and has not since been found. Then the kitchen fire got scattered through the floor ; the plates and dishes were smashed off the dresser ; and the pots and cans began to walk about through the apart ments. Then stones began to fly in all directions, cutting every one daring enough to approach the haunted dwelling. The panes of glass next began to he smashed ; so, for safety, the windows were taken out and locked up in a press ; but the mysterious visitors were too wise, for soon press, windows, and chairs were smashed to pieces. The turf stacks keep oscillating like a poplar tree ; hammering constantly resounds from the chimney ; and the stones keep flying in all directions, pelting and cutting and bleeding those venturesome enough to risk visiting the. place. On Friday evening 'week the crowds gathered distinctly saw a pot come flying through the door, and fall in smashed pieces on the street. A religiously-inclined inhabitant of the locality volunteered to lay the Evil One, and so he repaired to the spot in vaunted hopes of success. Alas for human calculation The stones rattled about his ears in the fated kitchen : they fell on his wrists, spraining them, and on his feet, hurting them. The combat was too un. equal his opponents were invisible ; so he consi dered retreat - justifiable. Strange to say, the disturbances -ceased on Sunday last, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., when they began with renewed vigour. Not alone in the house, but through the owner's lands-- though no further—do the stones pelt away the crowds, The circumstance is an extraordinary one, and is creati, a great amount of excit em e n t f ar an d near. For miles round the people flock to see and certify regarding the unusual wonder. The people have fled the house, and all about it and within is in fearful confusion. The event deserves notice and investigation from- its many peculiar ties.— Correspondent of Derry Journal. PAINLESS DENTISTRY. nESSRS.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES OF SHEEP. An extraordinary prosecution is now proceeding at the Kilkenny Assizes. Robberies of sheep upon an extensive scale have been going on for some time in the neighbour. hood of Thomastown, and every attempt to discover th 6 perpetrators failed until recently, when suspicion fell on three men named Tobin, two of whom, named Patrick and James, are now on trial. They are respectable looking farmers, having two farms, one of which, con taining forty acres, was rented from a Mr. Andrews, and the other from Mr. Marsh, of Spring Mount, near Abbeyleix, in the Queen's County. In October 1867 Lord Carrick, Sir John Power, Mr. Franks, Mr. Seigue, and other gentlemen living within a circuit of about two miles round Thomastown, had several of their sheep stolen. On the evening of the 11th of September Sir John Power had counted a flock numbering twenty-eight, and next morning found it reduced by two: Patrick Tobin owed four years' rent to Mr. March, who came on the 28th of November to Thomastown, and in an interview with Tobin agreed to take thirty sheep in part payment, and give a receipt for a year and a half's rent. The sheep were conveyed by train to Abbeyleix. On the 13th of December Patrick Tobin sold four sheep in a neighbouring fair to a butcher named Murray. On the 19th of December Sir John Power and other gentlemen who had been robbed went to Mr. Marsh's land with the police, and examined his purchases. Several stolen sheep, and among them a ram, were identified. Four sheep skins were obtained from Murray. They were in an advanced state of decomposition, lime having been applied to them, but the ears were pre served, and in them was found the peculiar brand used by Sir John Power—namely, a small hole made by a gun. wad punch. An attempt bad been made to destroy the trace of the brand by slitting the ears, but Sir John has positively sworn to their identity. An amusing incident occurred in the course of his examination. Counsel for the defence tried to break down his evidence upon cross examination, and to shew that he could not be certain in his identification. Serjeant Armstrong, however, pro posed to corroborate his testimony by producing on the table the ram which had been identified, and which was then within the precincts of the court-house. The suggestion was at once adopted by the Lord Chief Baron, and the reluctant witness was partly pulled, partly propelled through the court, up tie steps, and on to the platform on which the witness-chair stood. He manifested at first a disposition to treat his lordship with contemptuous levity, performing some antics which afforded great merriment to the spectators, and almost disturbed the gravity of the bench. The Chief Baron con siderately ordered some turnips to be brought in, with a ♦iew to ensure the decorum of the witness. After some . little time he recovered his self-possession, and with an air of calm dignity surveyed the court, especially the galleries, and then uttered a couple of suppressed to-as, the only evidence which he volunteered to give. He was fully identified by the herd, and then very unceremoniously precipitated from the table. He is to be produced again during the trial, which has not yet terminated. THE SPRING ASSIZES. A CURIOUS CASE OF BIGAMY. -- At the Bury St. Edmunds Assizes a somewhat curious case of bigamy was tried, in which it appeared that the prisoner, whose name was George Bullingham, having married his wife in September 1859, in consequence of her misconduct sepa rated from her, after which event she lived with other men. On the Ist December, 1864, he went through the form of marriage with another woman, having informed her of the fact of his previous marriage and of his wife being alive. The second marriage was ent, , red into on the ground that, in the opinion of b o th o f ti„, ri) , through the misconduct of the real wife they were jei.li fied in so entering into it. After living together fir app..y, ,insoani, am. w;fe, sonic time, apparently very h 1 the real wife appeared on the scene, and, havicz charged her husband with bigamy, got him arrested, aNd even tually committed. She, however, had, or, December, 1861—about three wechs, iu fa , :t, aft.l: Litt second marriage—gone through the form of Y11:I ITI:1!.: . 0 with another man, upon which her husband, the irioner, gave her in charge for the same offence, and she is now in cus tody awaiting her trial for bigamy. The prisoner, of course, was found guilty, but sentence was reserved. INSANITY. —lt is somewhat worthy of remark that in each of the two charges of interest investigated at the Norfolk Assizes (one of murder, and the other of shooting with intent), the prisoners were acquitted on the ground of insanity. In the one case, a, mother, known to be, insane, was trusted with her illegitimate child. Taking it out one night she went nearly two miles from home," and, getting into a stream, attempted to drown both herself and the child. Her resolution failed her, however, and she herself crawled out, leaving her child to drown. She came home again after about an hour's absence, with her clothes wet and covere•l with dirt. She was too much excited to say anything more than " The bridge !" A search was made, and the child was found floating in the water near where the pri soner is supposed to have left it. In the other case, a nian named Howlett was charged with shooting at his sister at St. Margaret's, Southelmham, on the 'oth January, 18ti7. The prisoner, whose mind was affected at the time, met his sister in the garden, and when within a few ya r d s o f h er he raised a gun he had in his hand, and deliberately fired at her. The charge struck her in the face, and though for some time her life was despaired Of, she eventually re covered, but was rendered totally blind and disfigured for life. The prisoner was committed for trial soon after tie , occurrence, but was subsequently removed to the lunatic asylum, where he has quite recovered, and was now brought up to answer the charge.—ln botli cises the prisoners were ordered to be confined during her Majesty's, pleasure. COUNTERFEIT COIN.—At the Devizes Assizes, one George Curtis was indicted for uttering counterfeit coin, and with having in his possession some eighty bad florins and half. crowns, and the charge having been proved, he was sea. tenced to five years' penal servitude. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.-2500 DAMAGES.— The Sheriff's Assessor at Leeds had before him on Wed nesday the case of Fleming v. Tatterson. It was an action by the daughter of a retired inland revenue officer against a medical man for breach of promise of marriage, and it came before the court for assessment of damages. The greatest affection for the plaintiff was evinced by the defendant in his letters until it came to the matter of when the marriage should take place. She wished it to be put off, and this seems to have cooled defendant's love, and he gradually kept himself away from her. These facts having been put before the jury, they returned a verdict for the plaintiff ; damages, £5OO. The Bishop of Capetown lately delivered all address in the lecture-hall of the Liverpool Institute, on the missions in the diocese of Capetown. In describing the difficulties of the Church there, he dwelt on the case of Colenso, detailing its various phases. The false teaching of Dr. Colenso, he said, touched the very fundamentals of the Christian faith, nor did he see that his adversary had any ground to 04u4 upon but purl dawn, Just ready, in 3 vols., A NOBLE WOMAN.
