EUcone and the United States.

Europe contains 1907. 1875 square miles, the United
States 1921 ,595 square miles, so that the area OF the
United States alone, is nearly equal to all Europe
This geographical fact will give some idea OF the pres

populaon already amounts TO twenty-thrce millions
and quarter This rapid growth may be ascribed to
variety Of causes; but to more than peace. and
the cultivation of the arts of industry dependent on

war, but rather diversion holiday And this fact,
too shows the enormous power OF our young country
Yet peace sa the bottom of all our prosperity Peace
is the basis OF all our enjoyments and freedom when
compatible with or honor or our interest. We want
no war to help other nations to anything If any peo-

of disputes between remote empires. AS nation, we
are bound to preserve the neutrality we profess All

A MunmVs

Professor Glddon has recently been unrolling a
mummy in New Orleans. The Crescent describes
the operation follows
{! A bout half dozen of the medical faculty now
assembled the platform, to play the part of underta-
kers to the defunct! They commenced by rolling
the mummy to a position nearer the audience. The
Professor in the meanwhile, proposed to unroll some
animal mummies and commencing with the Ibis,
went through astrological list, embracing the
hawk, the owl. etc These specimens of antique
poultry elected no little attention.
After the birds were disposed of, the medical
gentlemen proceeded to unroll the human mummy.
They commenced by sknning off a great variety of
bark, and went through the process much after the
manner of pealing potato! When they had done
with the outer coating or epderm7s. and otherwise
handled it very rreverently. the Professor walked it
out, in upright position, facing the audience. He
then said two sets of bandages yet to be taken
off, which he would proceed to do in the tenderest
manner possible. In doing this he showed the man.
of rolling up the subject, which was exactly the
bandaging process used by surgeons of the present
day As much forty pounds of linen had been
taken off one mummy, which, to the poor Egyptians,
was a great waste of cloth While these explana-
tions were given the faculty tugged most industri-
ously at the subject, and in manner which showed
that they were old resurrectionists.
''After much trial of patience and trlbulatlon OF
the spirit, the mummy was finally unrolled!
The only thing remarkable about it was, that II
had very lean and dried aspect, and emitted fra
GRANGE much like ancient cowskin, spoiled IN the
drying. -,
This was but the first phase in the unrolling o.
the mummy! The last will be given on tuesday

Curran's Answer to Robinson.

As an example of unprecedented, powerful elo-
quence may be given short answer OF Curran, the
Irish orator to certain Judge Robinson, " the au-
thor of many stupid, scurrilous and slavish pam
phlets, and by his dement's and servity raised him
self to the eminence which he thus dsgraced, who,
upon one occasion, when the barrister was arguing
case before him, had the brutality to reproach
Curran with his poverty, by telling him that ne
suspected his law library was rather contracted
:: 1t is true, my lord,' said Curran, with digni-
fed respect that am poor, and that circumstance
has somewhat curtailed my library; my books are
net numerous, but they are select, and hope they
prepared myself for the study of this high profession
BY the perusal of few good works rather than the
composition of great many bad ones; | am not
ashamed of my poverty; but should be ashamed
of my wealth could have stopped to acquire 1t by
servlity and corruption. If rise not to rank shall
at least be honest and should ever cease to be So
many an example shows me that an i'll gained repu,
tation, by making me the more conspicuous would
onlv make me the more universally and the more
! notoriously contemplate! y ss

Taylor the author of several whmscaes, such
as Monsieur Tonson,' relates the following anec-
dote:
A lieutenant in the royal navy had written politi-
cal pamphlet but, being called TO his duty, not
able to see through the press. He therefore placed
it in the hands of bookseller, desiring that he would
give to some literary man, who, for duly preparing
il for publication, should have half the profits The
bookseller gave ii to Mr. Cooke, who soon discharged
his duty. The work was published, and the profits
were thirty pounds. all of which was given to Mr.
Cooke who took his portion, and reserved the other
half for the author whenever he should call for it
Many years elapsed. and ne heard nothing of him
At length gentleman called on him, told his name,
and declared himself to be the author of the pam
phet, telling him that he knew fifteen pounds were
due to hm On account of the pamphlet, and add
ing that he ashamed TO take it, but that " his pow
erty and not his will consented, as he had a wife
and an increasing family. Mr.. Cooke had the money
ready for him. which the stranger took, and expressed
his gratitude at parting. This necessitous author, who
afterwards went TO the bar the late Lord Erskine
