ScIENrIFIc.-A fact of great interest has
been proved by the borings for Ar,esian
wells in the suburbs of Paris, namely, ,ha,
as we 20 towards the centre Of the earth
the temperature increases a, the rate of about
one degree for every fifty feet. That the
whole interior portion of the earth. or al
leas. grea. part of it, is an ingenious ocean
Of melting rock, agilated by violent winds,
though dare not affirm il. is still render
ed highly probable by the phenomenon Of
volcanoes. The facts connected with the
eruplions have been ascertaned and placed
beyond dispute. How, then are they to be
accounted for? The theory prevalent some
years since, that they are caused by the
combustion of immense coal-beds, is per-
feclly puerle, and is entirely abandoned.-
All the coal in The world would never ford
fuel enough for single capital exhibition of
Vesuvius. We mus, look higher than this;
and have little doubt that the whole rests
on the action of electric and galvanc prin-
cipIes. which are constantly in operation in
the earth. We know that when certain
metals are brought together, powerful cleo
trio action is developed, and light is produc-
ed, superior even in effulgence to The splen-
dor of the sun. Now, if small arrange
ment produces such results, what may we
not expect from the combinations of these
immense beds of metal to be found in the
earth ?-Here we have The key to all the
grand phenomena OF volcanic action. An
illustration on small scale may be seen in
all instrument called the thermoo-eleclrcal
battery, made of zinc, bismulh and an'mony,
packed in box and vanished. In this,
heat is evolved below while the top is cold;
and here we have the very case of the vol
cano, when in the interior fiery ocean
is heaving its surges, while its peak is cap
ped with everlasting SHOWS. - Professor

HoRTIcULTURE.-The is probably no
employment or recreation which has sron-
ger tendency to purify the heart, improve
the laste, or strengthen the physical consli-
tuition, than love of horticulture. If man
would truly enjoy his garden, take delight
in his flowers, and appreciate his fruits, he
must be his own gardener prune his own
trees, gravel his own walks, and cultivate
his soil. 1t is related by Cicero, that when
Lysander visited Cyrus of Persia, prince
equally distinguished for his empire and his
genius, Cyrus showed him piece of ground
aceA enclosed and completely planted. AZ
ter the visitor had admired the tall and
straight trees, and the rows regularly form
ed, and the ground clear of weeds and well
cultivated, and the sweetness Of tile odors
which exhaled from the flowers, he could
not help expressing his admiration, not only
Of the diligence, but of the skill of him BY
whom all this was measured and marked
out; upon which Cyrus answered sit was
myself who measured everything, the plan
is mine, and many Of the trees were planted
with my own hand.''

PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-The President
communicated to both Houses of Congress
on Thursday last, Message announcing Of
fcially the Ratification by Mexico of the
Treaty Of Peace, and laying before Congress
copies of the Treaty as exchanged by the
two governments; and a correspondence in
relation thereto with our Commissioners.
The President considers the acquisition of the
territories of New Mexico and Upper Cali
fornia as ''second only in importance to that
ofLousiana in 1903 - and as "affording III
demni,y for the past" whilst "securily for
the future" is said to be found in s.the bril-
liant achievements and signal successes of
our arms" He recommends the adoption
by Congress, of the measures necessary to
carry the treaty into effect, and the immedi-
ate organization of territorial governments
for the protection of the Inhabitants of the
newly acquired lands and the preservation
of order;
The message states the amount of public
debt to be S65,778,450, "including the stock
and Treasury notes which may yet be is
sued under the act of January IS, lS47, and
the sixteen million loan recently negotiated
under the act of March 81, 1885," but to
this amount are to be added, twelve millions
to be paid to Mexico, and the amount to be
paid to our citizens on account Of Mexico.
The actual public debt will probably not
fall much short of one hundred millions Of
dollars. The President recommends the
adoption of rigid economy, with view to
the speedy discharge Of this debt; and pref
,y broadly intimates, that no appropriation
for rivers and harbors should be made.

scented by some Of their prncip pal chiefs and
headmen at the imposing tribute paid on the
Fourth Of July to the memory of WASHING
TON, under whose administration their FORE
fathers had some of the earliest treaties of
peace and friendship, and whose image was,
here and there, still born on the ancient
medals which proudly adorned the breast of
several of the most aged Of the Indians
These silver medals were inscribed ''l7S6,"
and represented Washington in the act of
shaking hands with the red man, and their
preservation atlested the venera,ion and ira
dit,onal respect with which his great name
is still kept bright in the memory of the
"Sons of the Forest"
These chiefs, MCLoUGHL1N, PlTcHLYNN,

FROM ST. JOHN, N. B.-Arriraz of Mr..
Mitchell at Bermuda.-Mr. John Mitchell,
the exiled Irish patriot, arrived at Bermuda
in the steamer Scourge, on the ooh ult. A
correspondent Of the ST. John Morning News
furnishes the following data relative to the
Island of Bermuda:
"Abou, one thousand soldies are garri-
soned at three or four points on the Island.
There are usually about !, 400 convic,s, in
carcera,ed in four hulks-ll,ree al the Dock
Yard and the other at the 'Thames,' on
board of which Mr.. Mitchell has been plac-
ed, at st. Georges These men, about one
half transported from five 10 seven years for
the crime Of poaching on zordiy domains,
are subject TO the most degrading and labo-
rious employmen,s, their usual occupation
being building forts, drawing loads Of stone
like cart-horses, under an intensely burning
sun, with no vestige of shrub for protection;
other gangs are employed at work for MANY
hours in the water, cleaning out channels i J
diving bells, which soon puts period to
their miserable existence"
The friends of Ireland held public meet
ing at St John on the 9Th ult, and pass
ed resolutions expressive of adherence Of
the "sys,em of Jury Packing, lately adopt
ed by the British Government on trials for
political offence in Ireland, particularly in
that Of John Mitchell, where religion was
made test of exclusion, and those jurors
were alone selected, whose opinions were
known to be hostile to Repeal of the Lee
gislatve Union between great Britain and
Ireland"
The editor of the St. John News is en-
ragged that a portion of the inhabitants Of
ST. John should make a pleasure tri p on the
Fourth of July. He asks how loyalist can
''go on pleasure excursion on the 4ih of
July, in honor Of the great American day,
that witnessed the downfall of British SUI
premacy in the old colonies"
IRISH DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
At the Irish Republican Union demonstra-
ton at Williamsburg, NY :, the 4lh Of July,
Mr.. Mooney, it seems, read ver,able "De-
clara,ion of Irish independence" 1t sums,
up in thirteen articles, all the wrongs and
grievances, and miseries in Ireland-setting
forth her claims to distinct nationality, and
winding up in this wise: "Now we, whose
names are hereunto subscribed, VOW before
God, and the nations, TO 60 forth and at the
risk of onr lives. shoot down the men who
form this Government, (the English, we sup
pose,) and those who assist them, either in
detail or gross, according as the Lord may
deliver them into our hands.'
JOHN Van BUREN.-The Cincinnati Sig
nal contains the following sketch of John
Van Buren,, the Barnburner leader:
"John must be now nearly forty years OF
age. He graduated at Yale College some
twenty years ago, with high reputation for
genius, wit, ideness and roguery; he
was loved by all the school girls, hated by
all the orderly, and envied by all the mis-
chievous spirits of New Haven. He was
a worker of mischief, confusion, and dis
order, bu. he possessed too much ingenuity
to be caught, and in great sribula,ion, we
doubt not, at sending forth so quiet spirit,
the Faculty granted him degree"
