VISITING IN ENGLAND.

None Of the presentations Of Americans
to the royal family, this season, are quite
equal to that of Connecticut sailor as rola-
ted by himself to his old acquaintances af-
ter his return from his first voyage 10 the
father-land.
Striped Jacket had been absent from
Woodstock and his friends, for four months
and on his return old and young hocked a.
round him to inquire who and what he had
seen.
Stripe understood how to set off thing
or two as well as playactor and answered
all inquiries of the gaping audience to their
satisfaction.
We'll did You see the king !"
"Oh, yes, saw him often :"
"And where did you see him ~
"Why, I met him in the road at frs, and
he ax'd me where | was from"
"And did he speak to you then :"
claw yes, he invited me to his house;
palace they call it there"
Well and did ye go 7" said number
Of voices at once.
Yes, dye think woul'nt go, when
ax'dr
Well, and what did he say to ye!"
"Oh he ax'd me how did, &c. &C."
"Now what did you say to him ?"
Why, | said l come from the free
states, and hoped to see his folks all
WE'LL"
Yes; he told the lad to make him half
a mug of ZIP, for friend had come great
way see him--so he and SEES down and
drinks it together"
"Now do tell US, did you see the Queen,
and how was she dressed %
a" No, couln'dt see her,-King made her
excuses, and said it was Monday, it was
washing day with her, and she was not fl
to be seen in the forenoon. So came a.
way.

a Parsons Iougher.-Old Parsou M. (
Of, Worcester county, used sometimes to
be absent on missionary tour. Once on
a time, having just returned from one Of
these excursions, he found his congregation
quite drowsy, and wishing to wake them
up, he broke off liz the midst of his SER
mon, and began to tell them Of what won
dsrful things he had seen in York State
among other wonders he said he had seen
monstrous great moSchetoes---so large that
many Of them s0oald cceigh apOund!-
The people were By this time wide awake.
/" Yes,' continued parson M, :" and more
over they are often known to climb up on
the trees, and bark :"
The next day one of the Deacons called
upon him, telling him that many Of the
biethern we're much scandalized at the big
stories he told the day before. " What sio-
ries ~ says parson M. Why sir, you
SAID that the moschetoes in York State were
so large that many OF them would weigh a
pound p Well" rejoined the minister,
+" l do really think that great many of them
,costld weigh pound.' "But," cOntin-
ues the Deacon, you also said they would
climb up on the trees. and bark - "Well,
sir" says parson M, " as 10 their climbing
up on the trees, have seenEthem do that
haven't you Deacon!' 20 yes" Well,
how could they climb up on the trees and
not climb on the bark? ?" The Deacon was
Of course ncnplussed.

e yer, that its waters are unfavorable to ami
NAL life and though shell or two may be
occasionally picked up upon the shore, yet
these have been probably brought down by
the Jordan. The water is excessively bit
ter and nauseous; and if additional evidence
were wanting, we also could testify to lis
great gravity, and to the buoyancy Of the
human body, when immersed in it. 1t is
only by much exertions, and for very
short time, that any one can get and remain
below the surface,
I" We went from here to Jordan, and
struck the river where tradition says the
children of Israel passed over, when they
first entered the Land of Promise. On the
west side is low bottom, and on the east
high sandy bluff. and the shores Of the RI
yer are covered with aquatic bushes. The
water was thick and turbid, and current rap
i'd, and too deep to be sounded, "for Jordan
overfowed all his banks all the time of har-
vest" And here did cross the Jewish ma
tou, over this turbulent stream, "on dry
ground, until all the people were passed
clean over Jordan" And we followed
their route to Jericho, the frontier city OF
the Canaanites, where "the people shouted
with great shout, that the wall fell down
Cat, so that the people went up into the ci.
ty, every man straight before him, and they
took the city There is no city now to
take, nor are there any walls now TO fall.
There are but few miserable novels, made
OF rude stones and mud, and the ruined
walls Of building Of the middle ages,
where the wrets he'd Arabs burrow, rather
than live. Jericho has disappeared as com.
pletely as her rival cities, which sunk be.
fore the wrath Of the Almighty. And it re-
quires an effort to be satisfied that here the
great miracle which attended the entrance
of the Jews into Canaan was performed
though the truth OF the denunciation is be
fore the eyes of the traveller Cursed b.
the'man before the Lord that raiseth U,
and buildeth this city Jericho"
Thus speaks Lewis Cass, American
Minister at Paris, who, in August, 1898
stood upon the shore of the Dead Sea, ira
versed the track-way of the Israelites thro
the wilderness, and noted the place of thei
passage across the Red Sea,

Terrible Earthquake an Birmuh. We
have been favored, says the Madras Cou.
rier of May o, with the following graphic
account of the effects, at Amarspoora, of
the earthquake that was so severely Eel,
there on the morning Of the 23d ult and
which appears to have been Of most aw-
ful nature, involving considerable loss of
life Ave have been visited by terrible
earthquake here. About Two on the morns
ing of the Odd, we were awoke by the house
rocking to and fro in the most frightfui
manner. We had two terrible shocks, with
several others throughout the night and the
whole of the next day. In the morning
We found every pagoda had been partly
thrown down, not one standing whole.
Every brick house in the place was more
or less dlapidated, some three or four only
being left standing, more or less damaged,
and the others all down, burying many
people in their ruins. In one large brick
house eleven persons were buried, seven
killed, two much hurt, and tive unhur,.
Under every house some have been killed:
twelve of them in the Mussulman mosqus
the whole of which building came down.
The earth opened in many places many of
which continue open, and are sufficiently
large TO stow away a man Of war. From
all these fssules a large quantity Of water
was thrown up. The river rose and fow-
ed upwards three times, and numerous
wrecks were strewed along the banks. Il
appears to have done still more damage at
Ava, where the palace is down, and many
assures opened in the town. Not pago-
da is to be seen on the Tsagain side Of ths
river. An Armenian gentleman, Mr.. Hare
apeit, was taken from out of the ruins of
his house, his legs and arms crushed.
and his chest broken he soon expired"

INTERESTING EXTRACT.

"And this is the Dead Sea, and below
these dark waters are ,ae sites, perhaps the
ruins, Of Sodom and GomorIah, such as
when the smoke of the conntry went up as
the smoke of furnace. There is tale
that nothing living, not even bird, can

From the Pennsylyanian.

The late elections have cauased it to be
generally conceded that the opposition to
Mr.. Van Buren in 1910, if an opposition
can be rallied TO take the field against him,
will be mere formality TO preserve some
thing resembling party organization. Re-
cent events have so powerfully demonstra-
ted the correctness Of the principles suppor-
ted by the democracy, that since the days of
Monroe there never has been a time when
the anti-democrat and ant-administralion
feeling was more completely subdued.-
The force arrayed against Andrew Jackson
and SO potently operative against Martin
Van Buren, at the period of his election and
for year or two afterwards, is 10 a great
extent immerged in the ranks Of the demo-
cratic party, and where ii still continues TO
MAKE head, as for instance in New York,
its comparative weakness and rapid decrease
Of strength tells plainly enough what will
be its fate next year. Even in Massachu-
sets, the stronghold, the GibralIer of feder
al whiggery; the opposition, if not COM
pletely prostrated, are so near it that their
victory, should it prove such, is quite dis
aslruos in its effect as total defeat would
have been. In the midst, however, of all
this discontinue and all these evidences of
the irresistible popular tide now setting in
favor of divorce Of bank and state, and the
reform of banking system, it is amusing to
observe that all our old opponents have not

city, for instance, walks cheerily over the
fragments Of its party ,and draws the bright
est omens from mishap. II yesterday fa-
vored its readers with an article announc-
ing the premonitories of Mr. Van Buien's
defeat next year in style resembling tone
Of former days, and with as much conf
dence as if this were 1887 instead of being
1880, and as if the present bank suspension
were producing effects similar 10 those of
great pauics and the suspension two years
ago. With buoyancy of spirit even ex-
ceeding that which the Inquisiler used to
display under adverse circumstances, the
Herald seriously announces that the next
election will " send Mr.. Van Buren home
to Kinderhook as certainly as death follows
bullet wound through the heart !" 1t is
certainly something to find that in the long
line of opposition journals, in general so
worn down by reverses and detected by o.
verthrows, there is at least one to be found
which feels inclined 10 raise a shout and
clash its sounding arms, like the Carlst,
Cabrera who alone faunts the standard Of
routed Conservation, and continues 10 fight
as il were on his own hook, and merely for
the honor Of lhs thing. This Herald is Ol
