CHEAP WEATHER GLASS.

We extract from late English
paper the following description of a
cheap Weather Glass-one which
will indicate with surprising accu-
racy any change in the weather:
81 keep, says gentleman, phial
of water, containing leech, on the
pane Of my lower sash chamber win
dow, so that when | look in the
morning | could know what would
be the weather of the following day.
If the weather continues serene and
beautiful, the leech lies motionless
at the bottom of the glass, and rolled
together in spiral form. If it rains
either before or afternoon, it is
found to have crept up to the top of
its lodging, and there it remains till
the weather is settled. If we are
to have wind, the poor prisoner
moves through its limpid habitation
with amazing swil'tness, and seldom
rests till it begins to blow hard. If
a remarkable storm of thunder and
rain is to succeed, for some days be-
fore, it lodges almost continually out
of the water, and discovers great
uncasiness in violent throes and con-
vulsive-like motions. In frost as in
clear summer-like weather, it was
constantly at the bottom. And in
snow as in rainy weather, it pitches
its dwelling upon the very mouth of
the phial. 1t may not be amiss to
note that the leech is kept in COM
mon elght-ounce glass phial, about
three-fourths filed with water, and
covered on the mouth with bit of
linen rag. In the summer time, the
water is changed once week, and
in the winter once fortnight. What
reasons may be assigned for these
changes, philosophy may determine
but the lecch appears to be affected
in way analogous to that of spirits
and mercury in the weihcrglass ;
and it seems evident, from the SUR
prising sensation which it manifests,
that an approaching change Of
weather, even days before il takes
place, makes visible change upon
its manner of living

minated, he was pursuaded to re-
sumo his seat. He declined on this
occasion to permit his name to be
presented in the contest for the
spcakership, in order that he nigh,
accede to the general wish of the
leading interests of the state, and
accept the management of the COM
mittee of ways and means. The
embarrassments and financial diff
culties of Indiana, at this period,
made the post one of the highest re-
sponsibility and trust, and demand
ed the resolution and energy bolong-
ing to a great crisis. The signal
capacity with which he met the sur
rounding difficulties, and fulfilled
every duty connected with the sta
ton, has left an impression upon the
state, which will not readily be era
Dictated.
At the canvass of lS43 he was re-
turned to congress by large ma
jority, and placed at the head of the
committee Of public lands, one OF
the most important positions in the
routine of Legislation. In this situa-
ton, he gave evidence of eminent
legal acumcn, and that distinguished
sense and judgment which has al
ways characterized his public ca
reer.-He was laborious, faithful,
and practical in executing this trust,
and by his demeanor on the floor of
congress, and the talent evinced in
the committee room, secured that
confidence and respect, which has
since raised him still higher in the
scale of public estimation.
During the last summer he was
re elected to congress by majority
ofMree thousand being one thousand
five hundred over the highest party
vote; a circumstance which speaks
its own eulogium better than any
we could pronounce.
At the democratic caucus for
speaker, he received on the first
ballot, more than doubie the number
of votes given to all the contending
candidates, and was honored with
the nomination, without another eff
fort-a mark of appreciation rarely
conferred within late years.
In the gradual elevation form one
post of honor to another, he has al
ways united the regard and respect
of the people--he has never viola
ted faith of any sort--he has always
proved himself honest and upright
he has never shrunk from duty or
responsibility, and zeal and industry
have been among his leading quail
fcations. The early instructions
which he received from an aged and
respectable parent, who is still an
active and eminent divine in Mary
land, has given him a moral inhu-
ence which few public men possess.
Such is the man of the people, who
has risen to the high Office of speak
er of the American congress, by the
effect of integrity, industry and abil-
ity. 1t is an example worthy of en-
ulation, for higher honors are yet
in store for him, unless all the omens
are false.

The London correspondent of the
Boston Atlas gives the following
sketch of Baboo DwarkanauM Ia
gore, one of the lions of London at
the present time -
Gle is, as his title of Baboo and
his name will have suggested to you,
an East Indian. His wealth is so
enormous that it is scarcely an exag-
gcration to say that he is the richest
man in the world. A few years ago,
when panic occurred amongst the
commercial houses in Calcutta es-
pecially, and the great Indian seats
of commerce generally, Dwarkan-
auth came forward and advertised
that he would furnish them with any
amount they might in the emergency
require. His name was such tow
or of strength that the mere an
nouncement caused suspension of
the panic. At another time he en-
tered room in Calcutta where the
merchants were assembled TO DELHI
crate on the best means of raising
$4,000 to build a new town hall.
"Gentlemen," said Dwarkanauth, 81
will buy the premises of which YOU
are speaking, build town hall on
its site, and present it to the city"
This he did, and was no looser by it
either; for his property in the neigh
borhood greatly increased in value.
His possessions are immense, and
he owns the only coal mine, a very
valuable one, which is to be found
in India. He was in this country
three years ago, and is now here
travelling for the benefit of his
health. His nephew and youngest
son accompany him. The governor
general of India is Dwarkanauth's
guest, at one of his country seats
every year; and it may give some
idea of the oriental magnifcence Of
this holiday resort of the governor

CHINESE l'OLICR.

On some occasion, when there was
unusual excitement among the peo-
pile of Canton, a large mob surroun-
ded, in the evening, the foreign fac
tories. An American, who had been
out on the river, was obliged to make
his way through the crowd to reach
his home. On getting into his Hong,
as they call each merchants resi-
dence, he found that he had been
robbed of his watch. When or by
whom it was taken among the crowd
of Chinese-all dressed alike, all
looking alike, and closely packed
together in the dark, no one Of whom
he had ever before seen, or would
probably see again, of course he
could not tell. All he could say
was, it had been taken by some one
among the many hundreds damned
together in the square. The proba-
bility of recovering it was very re-
mote, but he made his complaint to
the proper Chinese functionary, and
stated the case. The Mandarin told
him that within so many days he
should have his watch. That very
day all tie police officers in that
part of Canton, to the number of one
or two hundred, were seized upon
and imprisoned. One of them was
then brought before the Mandarin,
and the robbery stated to him, and
he was informed that he must find
the watch, and bring it back, and
that all his comrades would remain
in Jail until he did. Each one of the
poor fellows thus confined had fam
lily dependent on him for support,
and friends and relations interested
in his release. All these at once be-
came most active in their exertions
to discover the watch and set free
the prisoners. Their friends and
their friends friends were interes-
ted; the army of police officers in
creased geometrically. The whole
people became thief-takers, and at
the end Of three days the watch was
found in an obscure hut in the coun-
try, twenty miles from Canton, and
restored to its owner. In other ca
sos of theft, similar, though harsh
err course is sometimes pursued, but
the result is generally the discovery
Of the thief and restoration of the
goods. If theft takes place in a
house, on complaint to a Mandarin,
all the servants are arrested and ia
ken before him, and both the guilty
and innocent bamboed, till the real
ly guilty at last confesses. The cru
city of this course not unfrequently,
indeed generally, among foreigners,
prevents complaints being made.
The Chinese code, both civil and
criminal, is immensely voluminous
and detailed. There is apparently
nothing which can be done or suf-
fered that is not provided for.

THE FROZEN FAIRY.

A band of fairies, making large
tour by moonlight, came suddenly
upon the boarders of northern for
est. Alternate storms of snow and
rain had fallen, and left the trees
robed in garments Of virgin white
ness. The full moon, shining bril-
liantly upon the thick branches, and
casting slanting shadows through the
dim aisles of the wood, festooned
with icicles and paved with gems of
frost, made the scene one Of dag
cling splendor. The fairies folded
their rainbow colored wings, and
gazed in mute wonder, for never had
they behcld aught so gorgeous. But
when the night blast swept over
them, they shuddered, and bethought
them of the warm light of their own
bright halls.
As they were departing, one of
the fairies of the band came and
bowed low before the queen, MUIR
muring-
"a boonp
what wilt thou?' said the fairy
sovereign, touching the suppliant
with her tiny sceptre.
%, let me dwell in this beautiful
place, gracious queenH was the re-
quest.
Foolish one! wouldst thou for
sake thy sisters for this cold, gilt
tering land? Then be it so. Fare
wellD And they sped lightly down
the valley.
The fairy, rejoicing in her new
and splendid lot, danced gaily under
the cleaning forest roof, and sang
many "a rich carol among the
bows which arched over her like
jeweled canopy. au
The spirit listened with admira-
ton to her song, as it rang clear and
sweet through the wood.
But long ere the moon waned, her
voice faltered, and her step became
languid. She had forgotten that her
fragile form was made for a SUMMER
cline, and might not bear the chill
air which pervadcd about her.
Slowly she yielded to the piercing
cold. Oh! how she longed to nes-
tie in the arms Of one of her sisters,
amid the silvery fountains and Rs.,
rennial flowers of her owa'loved,and'
lovely fairy land. The snow spir-s
its, in their spansled robes, gather
ed about her; but their voices weFc
strange, and their breath fell like leo
upon her cheek. The stars looked
down upon her with cold, distant
glance. Flashes of radiance shot
ever and anon athwart the sky above
her, seeming to mock her agony.
All above her was glorious as the
land of dreams; but what was its
brightness to her?
Family arose the last cry of tho
fairy :-'Sisters! o sister! take me
