State to those noble representatives of popular

Fire Wells in China.

Some two hundred years ago, P. Lemedo, a
French Missionary in China, made the follow
ing statement in a work upon China Just as
we have wells from which we draw water, the
Chinese have wells from which they draw fire.
In many parts of China they have flame strong
enough TO boil anything by it,
Although Aristotle speaks of a singular
phenomenon in Persia, and the same is obser-
vable in certain coal mines, particularly in Tia
ly, in the Apprentices, this statement of P. Le-
medo was regarded as one of the many apocry-
phal tales which are current about this little
explored country. But modern observation
confirms it, Mr. Panther, in his excellent
work upon China, says that this surprising ge-
illogical phenomenon is very common in many
parts Of China, and is used there for the most
difficult purposes, even for the melting of met
ais. In Canton, he says, there are many
houses in which such fire is continually kept
burning, and used for illumination and cooking
The only trouble in procuring it is to bore
hole in the ground, when by approaching a
light to the opening, the gas ignites, and you
have a light varying in intensity according to
the size of the hole. The Chinese convey this
gas into their rooms by means of bamboo canes,
and use it for illumination. This light is en-
tirely smokeless, and is similar to our gas
lights. Mr.. Panther cites an occular witness,
Mr.. Tompette, who says that the poor in the
winter often bore holes in the sand about foot

Present State of Parties.

For purposes of reference, we have carefully
compiled, mainly from the % Wing Almanac"
the following table, showing the present state
of parties throughout the whole Union, as as
certained by the last elections, in which par
ties were arrayed upon national politics. 1t
appears by this exhibit that the democratic ma
jority in the thirty-one States over the wings is
I34, ,730, and over wings and abolitionists COM
bined 72,979.
General Scott, in order to be elected, must
not only retain the entire arhig uote (Which all
admit cannot be done) and receive the whole
abolition strength through the dexterity of his
political director, Seward but, in addition
TO both, recruit largely from the democratic
ranks-a thing which cannot be accomplished
by any whig, living or dead, during the year
of grace 1852; for the party of the people are
firmly united in the support of Pierce and King
