the great in his time that at court. The
King having Moor in his household, sent him to the

Because" says the Jester, "you have committed a
piece of folly, to give your money to one you are

ANTIQUITY OF THE CHINESE EMPIRE.-The Rev.
Mr. Milne, an English missionary, has recently re-
turned to his native country from Cblna the field of
his labors, and is now delivering lectures the
Celestial Empire In the course of these lectures he
has made some interesting statements respecting the
antiquity of the empire. The Chinese, it appears,
divide their history into three parts, authentic ira
ditional and NEUROLOGICAL At the present time they
have very correct and distinct mode of computing
their historical by cycles of fifty years. Apply
ing this estimate the authentic PERIOD Mr.. Milne
finds that the first real parsonage who sat upon the
throne in China, began TO reign 1900 years before
Christ This was Ids years after the flood, and AZ
wears after the confusion of tongues at Babel. This
calculation is not wholly improbable. The Babylonian
Empire is supposed to have been founded in 2,217
Ashur laid the foundation of another Kingdom at
the same time; and the Egyptian monarchy dates
from ?, lS5. Mr.. Milne states various facts, CLEANED
from the early history Of China, which go to prove
that the first King must have been synchronized with
the immediate descendants of Noah. The whole
number of EmperorS, belonging to IA dynasties, is
236. The number of Expresses does not appear
+" These" says the lecturer, 6 behaved i'll, and

found necessary three four hundred years ago,

LEANDER AT THE Rio GRANDPA letter from
Charleston gives the following account of the causes
that led to the capture of Lieut.. Deas
"I appears that Lieut.. Deas was officer of the day,
and it was customary for tie American band to per-
form the national airs when the " Star Spanged Ban
ner" was lowered in the evening. This concert of
sounds attracted the attention of the Mexcans
on the opposite side, aud crowds assembled on the
banks of the river listen to the strains of music,
among them were many ladies. Lieut.. Deas became
enamoured with certain Mexican beauty, and signs
and tokens of affection passed between them; on the
same evening like another Leander, he plunged into
the Mexican Hellespont after his Hero and
had he landed the other side than he was secured
as a prisoner. Love-and not valor or friendship,
prompted him to swim across the river"
