The RoTHcHILDs.-The history of the present
house of Rothschld-its first beginning, it's rise
and progress, and the steps by which it attained
its present power in the world, is history of
great curiosity. During our visit to Europe, we
collected materials for such history, in Paris,
London, Frankfort, Vienna, and Naples The
parent of the house, and the mother of the whole
race, still lives in one of the narrowest and
dlrtest streets of Frankfort yet the branches, in
all the capitos of Europe, and their descendants,
live in the most splendid palaces. They are con-
nected with all the governments of Europe-are
concerned in all the great speculations of the
day-in corn, cotton, stocks, and every thing
and even American stocks, that are so much talked
of in Europe, was one of their chief objects OF
speculation before the States failed in paying
their interest

PROGRESS OF THE AaR.-That very remarkable
and ingenious philosopher, Orastus Bronson, has
been issuing his thoughts down East, and ap-
pears to be decidedly one of the most ultra ca
tholics of the day. During the last six or eight
years, Professor Bronson, from the exuberance
of his originality and the pressure of his genius,
has adopted almost every Christian belief that he
could lay his hands upon, believed them all, and
has made complete circle Of piety. He is now
one of the greatest catholics of the day. Judging
the future from the past, we would not be sur
prised to see him adopt Mahommedanism in less
than six months; and in order to facilitate him
in this transition for this is age of transition,
we have an excellent copy of the Koran, which
we will present him with, and which will fur
nish him with arguments with which to create
fresh sensation in the world

THEATRICAL BUSINESS old theatres seem
to be picking up every day, and the new ones
getting into a worse position. We understand
that Mr.. G. vandenhof has resigned his post of
stage manager at the Broadway theatre. We
are afraid that Col. Mann, whom we highly es-
TEEN, and who is very worthy gentleman, has
not very well organized troupe of under ma
nagers to carry on his business. The new thea
tres have hard hill to climb before they can get
to the paying point. 1t would be almost as easy
to 60 to the crater of Vesuvius n the shoulders
of dozen Neapolitans, and nearly as cheap, as
10 build up a new theatre in New York.

CHEAP BooKsKLLINe. We are on the verge of
great revolution in the article of literature and
cheap books. BY the inventions recently made
in printing machinery by the ingenious Mr.. Hoe,
OF this city, we look to the day when the present
prices OF cheap literature now issued by the Har
pers, the Appletons, and other booksellers, will
be reduced to at least one-third, if not one-half,
what IL is at this time Indeed, we do not despair
to see the day when literature 1--WE don't speak of
newspapers) will be as cheap in the United States
as il is in China.

efficiency throughout the whole country. The
prospects growing out of this wonderful inven-
tlon are unlimited Its application In our own
country may be greatly extended.
Lines could be extended from the Observatory
in Washington to all our principal seaports, and
as the ball drops at meridian in Washington,
ball could be made to drop at the same moment
in each seaport; or cannon be fire d in each,
by which sea captains could set their chro-
nometers.
Thus one good observatory at Washington
could be made available for all the seaports
and principal cities on the continent. BY
similar means, clocks could be set up and
made to tick at the same moment, and keep the
same time, and show the daily longitude for
every city in America This application of cleo
tricity Is but in its infancy. The day of judg-
ment is at hand
The time will come, probably, when Cuba will
be connected with the continent, and Havana

connected with Cuba.
As civilization advances, plans may be per-
fected for connecting Europe and America
Russia has only to run line through Siberia to
the Straits Of Kamschatka, and we to run line
hence to the Pacific, with branch to join the
Russian line across the straits aforesaid. Then,
by connecting the capitals of Europe with ST.
Petersburg, all parts of the civilized world would
be thrown into daily communication. The Eng
lish, by running line to Constantinople, might
cross the Bosphorus into Asia, and thence extend
lines to Bombay, Calcutta, and even to Canton,
in China. This may, and probably will, happen,
in the course of years.

Agasss has been here for the last few weeks, Civ

in his belief, the power of the Almighty has been

and erring mortals we see around us. On the
whole, however, the ingenious author of the
