In case the prairie is detached
from the timber, yet sufficiently near
for farming purposes, you will allow
persons to take the necessary proper
ton of each. In apportioning any
particular tract among sundry claim
ants, should they prefer making the
subdivision by any other lines than
the government surveys, you will per-
nit them to do so, upon condition that
any additional expense for surveying
shall be incurred by themselves.
Otherwise you will confine yourself to
the government surveys, as it is not
intended that the school fund shall
incur any expense in sub-divlding
any portion of this grant. Where the
timber is SO remote from the prairie
as to render it impracticable to sell

LONDON, JANUARY D, 1851.
The date (lS5Dgives us notice of our ar
rival at one Of those starting places in the
flow Of time which offers materials for retro
spect and reflection. The first half of the
eventiul nineteenth century, memorable for
its Gfteen years of war no less than for its
thirty-6ve years Of peace, has come to a
close, and is added to the long list of by-gone
times.
Politicians and political economists are ge-
nerally supposed to be cold, arithmeticaI, and
unenthusiastic; but if we presume, on the
present occasion, to exercise portion ofthe
functions attached to these occupations, we
are afraid that our statements, although
based upon ascertained facts, will subject US
to charge of directly opposite nature-so
far wide Of all former precedent have been
the events and the results Of the last fifty
years. In the words of the Economist ''that
period has not only been rich bey ond
nearly all others in political events Of thrill
ling interest and mighty moment, but in
changes and incidents of moral and social
significance, it has had no parallel since the
Christian era. 1t has witnessed the most tre-
mendous war and the most enduring peace
which the world has known for centuries. 1t
has witnessed leap forward in all the ele-
ments of material welI-being such, as neither
scientific vision nor poetic fancy ever pictured
1t is not too much to say that in wealth, in
the arts Of life, in the discoveries Of science
and their application to the comfort, the
health, the safety, and the capabilities of
man, in public and private morality, in the
diffusion of knowledge, in the manifestations
of social charity and justice, in religious
freedom, and in political wisdom, the period
of the last fifty years has carried US forward
faster and further than any other half centu-
ry in modern times. 1t stands at the head,
facile primeeps, unrivalled and unapproached
of all epochs of equal duration. Nay, more ;
il is scarcely too much to say that, in many
of the particulars we have enumerated, it
has witnessed a more astonishing and rapid
progress than all the centuries which have
preceded it. In several vital points the DIFF
ference between the eighteenth and the nine
teenth centuries is greater than that between
the first and the eighteenth, as far as civili-
zed Europe is concerned"
These are strong assertions. We will
now proceed to examine how far they are
supported by the "facts and figures" Of Eng
lish statistics; we have neither the materials
nor the ability to institute wider inquiry.
And first as relates to the population of the
British Isles at the commencement of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and at
the present time, respectively, estimating
the latter according to the previous rates Of
increase.

BIIrz AT HIS OLD TRIcKs.-1he Philadel-
phia correspondent of the Trenton American
says, on the evening that Gliddon's Egyptian
Mummy was opened, previous to the cere-
mony, there was gathered round collection
of gentlemen, whose thoughts seem to have
little to do with things modern, and from
their air of mystery. they appeared to be lost
in the gloom Of ages. These gentlemen
were inspecting the characters on the case
of the dried specimen Of antiquity, when sud
denly they were startled by voice from
amid the folds of the linen which wrapped
the mummy,
''Open the box open the box - said the
voice
"Who are you :" inquired one Of the
learned Thebans whose curiosity had got the
better Of his astOnishment.

swered the voice within.
care you a genuine Mummy ?"
"Yes, genuine and no mistake; regularly
manufactured in Egypt, by some Of the finest
artists"
"Do you come from Ham I"
"Ham-no, am better specimen OF
dried beef"
"What do you want here 7"
"Ask yourself; your confounded prying
Yankee inquisitveness has walked me up
from slumber of ages"
A thought struck the scientific questioner.
and he determined to settle a long mooted
question.
Were the Egyptians black or red men ;"
s'Red as the knave of hearts"
"What caused the decline Of the Egyptian
nation 20
"It didn't decline; like the modern Celt,'
the Egyptians emigrated to America"
"To Mexico ?" inquired the doctor.

Then the pyramid at Cholulu is"
Exactly; it is nothing else.'
"And you are"
"Bobby."
''Bobby who ?" said the astonished in
quirer.
s'Bobby Bitz;" and little man with q
peculiar head of hair glided out of the Hall
and disappeared in the Lecture Room OF the
Museum. The doctors looked at each other,
and the word "sold'' was audibly heard
coming from the box, as if the dried descen-
dent of Mizuaim was laughing in its sleeve
at the. .credulity Of science, which could not
tell living ventrloquist from the dried re-
mains of burnt rags and monkeys skeleton.
