A GRAND HASH UP.

It is long since we have read so wonderful an article 55
a certain leader which appeared in the Daily Telcyrarh ;
Tuesday. It is obviously the work of only one
it is not longer than such treatises usually are; and yet it
contains references to the following personages :--Aui°;
Tian, Zenobia, Richard Cur de Lion, Pope, Isaac °.
Cyprus, Voltaire, Pontius Pilate, Leibnitz, CunigondeY
Ismail, Calphurnia, Constantine, John Milton, Abjul'
Cesar, Haxthausen, Napoleon 1., Napoleon 11., 0)1111t
;
Algarotti, Hook, Peter the Great, Mr. Clarke, BIahoul°"
Sir Isaac Newton with his little dog Diamond, 1-1023..n'
the Czar Nicholas, the Czar Alexander, HuYghe:
Carlyle, Catherine of Russia, Hippocrates, J°
Evelyn, Paul, Salmasius, Mdme. Krudener
Prophetess, and the late Mr. Button. Reference also i 5
made to the Plantagenets, the Stuarts, the Tullianunly the
Tuileries, the Gemonial. steps, the Suez Canal, Tsar-sk°"

Master of :the Mint, Palais Royal dinners, great
bitions, pickled cucumbers, the Peace of Paris, slit-cell;
Laferme cigarettes, Lancastrian schools, and many othe
things of that kind. The object of the article apparentli,
(we admit that it is quite a matter of opinion) is to esta-
blish the following assumption ; that "on her own seil/f,
1870, Russia will not derogate from the industrial celebriv'
she has already attained, but will continue to she -0' tb°
nations that she produces something more than 01°1'
hemp, and hides."—Pall lllall Gazette.

tenths of the product of the large factories are st.o
to this country, and that orders from England and the
Continent do not furnish any criticism to
invoice price of steel coming to the tiii-ca,
States, because these orders are of a retail
racter as compared with those from America, 1'1311e;
dreds of tons of certain articles being sentt their
where one ton goes elsewhere. They added that rkt
business had been stopped because the American C°lls7, so
Sheffield, at the instance of a revenue agent, refese'.ed,
certify their invoices. This they asked to have rotted:oo
