THE INTERNAL REGIONS.


Among the vast number ol strangers,
who visit the beautiful city of Cincinnati
there are few who have not either heard
OF or seen the above interesting establish
ment, for added 10 the attractions 9: an ex
tensIve collection Of minerals, fossils
shells, Indian antiquities, preserved birds
and beasts, wax figures, &c. there is the
famous Internal Regions, of which, Tor
the information Of our readers propose
u give some account.
The idea Of this exhibition first origina
ted with N. DorfeuIIe, the present pro-
prIetOr Of this concern, and some seven
or eight years ago. when the famous Mrs
TrOllope was in Cincinnati, accompanied
oy Mr., aervieu, distinguished French
painter, The former gentleman suggested
to the latter the ProPrie,y Of trying his
pencil upon the subject; he did SO, and pro
duced beautifully awful picture repre-
senting vast Subterranean lake, Of fire
and ice alternate, Overhung with stalaci
tee and gIacieS, upon which various o5
jecIs were ssen cIinging and climbing.
Some were wrilhiug in the fiery waves,
while others we're fixed IN the ice, with
but their heads or some Oftheir limbs ex
posed; there appeared 10 be no intermsdi
ate temperature between the fiery biliOws
and the icy shores, nothing but extremes
of freezing or roasting.
This picture was called "Ilell accord
ing to Dante" and was relieved By q
gantic figure Of MInos, in front; and suit
able arrangements in the apartment 10

Ter in the exhibition, very many were die
appointed; they came expecting TO see
monsters, imPs, ho6gobIlns, and the devil
all IN motion, and ofcourSe mere picture
did not answer their expectations. The
proprietor, perceiving his Potron1ge on
the decline, now cast about him for some
thing 10 CRAFTY the wishes; accordingly
having an ingenious assistant IN the Mu
scum, he induced him 10 dress himself in
disguise, and enter the exhibition by way
of an experiment in the character Of BeeL
sebub, and so did he personOte that charac
ter, that the audience were all delighted;
for a nose he made use ofa huge claw Of
a lobster, and affixed enormous glass eyes
over his own, false teeth, beard, &c. and
held 10 his hand wand, which was con
neCted by On Invisible wire to powerful
electric machine; he was seated near the
grating placed between the audience and
the exhibition, and when any OF them ven
tured within reach, would touch them

Slsla'ure, it Is impossible 10 examine eve.

deserves; and In looking over the tables
which had made OF the aPporlion ment

error was committed ia copying from the

which was done while the journals were
