My hearers, one and all--take proper

The world of BOrrOwe rs.

The Rochester Democrat say that all
the world is borrowing money. In Eng
land there is deficit in the revenue. France
has floating debt of S25O,OOO,OOO, and
wants to borrow $l6O,OOO,OOO besides.
Austria has just obtained loan of Sl75,
100000. Russia, Prussia, Spain, Portugal,
are each borrowing all they can lay their
hands. Turkey and Belgium have just made
loans. Egypt, not able to borrow, she
raised the duty on produce, and the German
Sovereign, Of Greece. would borrow if he
could find any body to lend. The King of
Naples has succeeded in making a raise Of
five millions of Ducats. Mexico and the
South American States are in the same
conditiOn-begging to borrow. Texas has
had commissioner in Europe a year, en-
deavoring to effect loan, and Canada
takes seven millions from the straitened
Golfers Of the mother country. Last of all,
the United States, by following the bad
examples Of the twenty-five foreign gov
ernments,' which formed the model Of Mr..
Van Buren's Administration, has been re-
duced to the necessity of raising loan Of

The noisoned valley of lava.

The usual meeting of the Royal Asiatic
Society, took place on Saturday, the Ri.
Hon. w. W. Wynn in the chair. A paper
was read by Col. Sykes, on the poisoned
Upas Valley at Betur, in Java, extracted
from a letter by London, containing a
description of his visit to the place in July,
1910. According to the statement of Mr..
London, this valley is twenty miles in ex-
tent, and of considerable with, it presents
most desolate appearance, the surface be-
ing sterile and without any Vegetation.
The valley contains numerous skeletons Of
mamalia birds. In one case, the skeleton
Of human being was seen, with the head
resting on the right hand; according to ira
dition, it is said that the neighbOring tribes
we're in the habit of driving their criminals
into the valley to expiate their crimes. Mr..
London tried the experiment Of lowering
some dogs and fowls into the valley, and in
every case, animation became quickly sus-
pended. although life was prolonged in
some instance for ten minutes. The valley
proved to be the crater of an exliDguished
volcano in which carbonic acid gas is gen.
Grated, like the GrottO del Cano of Naples.
The fabulous influence imputed to the Upas
tree is therefore without foundation, the
mortality being caused solely by the dele
FERROUS agency of the gas.-LOndOn PGpcr,

Conf lcting interest.

A great deal is said now days, about
interests of the North and
South" We demand to know, what these
interests are? Is the interst of
the North distinct from that of the South2
There is not spear of Rice, or Wheat, or
Tobacco, or Cotton plant, that springs on
the remOtest part Of our Southern territory,
that does not contribute to the support Of
our Northern Merchants, Manufacturer, and
Farmer. There is not a vessel that sails
from Northern port which does not, d.
rectly, or indirectly, bring wealth to the
Southern Planter. The God of Nature, if
we regard only the geographical situation or
our country, and products of its soil, of
consider man as the creature Of sordid in
terest, seems to have ordained the mighty
Republic, to be forever one and invisible.
No part of the habitat globe is more init.
mately, more indissolubly Connected-As
to conflicting interests we know not where
TO find them. Our interests are the same.
our manners the same, our language the
same. Springing from one common stock.
we are bound together by every tie Of en-.
dearment that can operate on a people.
Who is the man that would not discord
amongst US?

Old IRONSIDEs.
Ay! tear he tatter'd ensign down,
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That Banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung he battle shout
And burst the canon's roar;
The meteor thu ocean air
Shall sweep tie clouds no more!
Her deck-once red with heroes blood,
When knell the vanquish'd foe,
When winds were burrving DER the food,
And waves were white below
No more shall feel The victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The Eagle Of the sea!
Oh! better that her SHATTERED hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave:
Nail to the mast her tatter'd flag,
Set every thread-bare sail,
And give her to the God of Storms,
The lightning and the Gale!

1t will be seen by the foregoing that on

each head Of the population-viz. Yer

Of these Vermont takes the lead, and must
certainly be considered the most enterpri-

Massachusetts is lowest in the scale; but
that State is engaged extensively In Com
