HrsroR1cAL ACCOUNT OF HYMEN-Hy-

HfsToRIcAL ACCOUNT OF HYMEN.-Hy-
men was beautifuI youth Of Athens, who
for the love of young virgin, disguised
himself, and assisted at the Ellusninn
rites; and at this time he together with
his be owed, and divers other young ladies
Of that city, were surprised by pirates and
carried off, who supposing him to be what
he appeared, was lodged with his mis-
tress In the dead of night, when the
robbers were all asleep, he cut their
throats. Thence making hasty way back
to Athens, he bargained with the parents
that he wou d restore them their daughter
and all her companions, if they would
consent to their marriage; which proving
very happy, it became the custom TO in
woke the name of Hyinen at all nuptials.

Bayard Taylor writes from China to

Bayard Taylor writes from ChIna 10
the New York Tribune as follows:
do not remember whether have al
ready stated that the leader of the Revo-
luton, Ting-Tuk, is "A descendant of one
of the branches of the ancient Chinese, or
Ming dynasty, and that his avowed object
is to overthrow the present Ting, or Tar
tar dynasty. In fact, he is proc aimed as
Emperor on the bu letins of his army, so
that his cause has already risen above the
dignity of IA rebellion and assumes the as
pect of national war. 1t is Chinese
against Tartar, and the people are not
Indifferent to the issue. Any change can
hardly be for the worse; any kind of agi-
tation is better than the dead stagnation
of Chinese life. Viewed in all aspects,
this Revolution is one of the most re-
markable of this Revolutionary Age.

SOMETHING VERY RAxE.-It has been
said of Office holders, that few die and
none resign No doubt the maxim is well
founded in truth, but as no rule exists
without an exception, the following case
which we find recorded in the Portsmouth
(Va.) Transcript, shows that an office
ho der can res ign, and that in this instanc e
the act was prompted 10y the purest and
most laudable motives Here Is the story
gentleman from Virginia, prominent
Democrat, was an applicant for office in
one of the Departments of the Govern
ment. His papers, as the phrase goes,
''were made out" and the letter of ap-
pointment given him by the Secretary,
who informed him that in certain room,
at certain desk, he would find the indi-
vdual whose place he was to take, and
that he must show the letter to him -
We'll, he found the room, and in due man
her presented the letter. The gentlemen
at the desk, after perusing the document,
observed, 'Well, sir, this is your desk, /,
aud ! am ready to clear the premises" +"
suiting the action to the word, and start
ing to get off the stool upon which he was
perched. The newly appointed Office
holder observing that the person whose
place he was to fl was lame, and walked
with difficulty, Immediately said, "Sir,
you can keep your p ace; am not the
man to deprive you of it," He returned
to the Secretary aud informed him that
sooner than deprive lame man Of Office,
he would return home! The Secretary
app auded the sentiment; and promised
that he should have some Office, at any
rate. ~ u. Bee.

THE New MoTIvE PowER.-We have


already referred to the invention of new
motive power, from which its projectors
anticipate great results. The force ap-
piled is magnetic attraction, and the pow
er is applicable to driving machinery, To-
comotion, navigation, and all other pur-
poses for which steam is employed. 1t is
also capable of lighting and warming
The great advantage of this power is its
chedpness, nothing being consumed, and
no cost being necessary in generating it,.
The machine has been applied to the
magnetic telegraph with entire success
An engine is nearly completed to test the
invention as motive power on a large
scale. The stock is in the hands of some
of the shrewdest business men in Provi-
dence, and So much confidence is felt in
the success Of the experiment, that shares,
the original cost of which was $50, have
changed hands at $3.50. if.it answers the
expectations of its friends, limits can
hardly be put to its value; if it fails, it
will be in the category of many other good
things. Providence Jour.

A SINGULAR DEvIcE.-A singular cir
cumstance, exhibiting in remarkab de-
gree the rejecting faculties Of wolf, is
related as having taken place at Signo-le-
Petit, small town OH the borders of
Champagne. A farmer, one day, looking
through the hedge of garden, observed
a wolf walking around about his mule,
but unable to get at him, on account of
the mules constant kicking with his hind
legs. As the farmer perceived that his
beast was 80 well able to defend itself,
he considered it unnecessary to render
him any assistance. After the attack had
lasted fully quarter of an hour, the wolf
ran off to neighboring ditch, where he
several times plunged into the water
The farmer imagined lie done this to re-
fresh himself after the fatigue he had sus-
tanned, and had no doubt that his mule
had gained complete victory; but in a
few minutes the wolf returned to the
charge, and approached as near as he
could to the head cf the mule, shook him
Sc f, and spirited a quantity of water into
the mules eyes, which caused him imme-
diately to shut them. That moment the
wolf ped upon him and killed the poor
mule before the farmer could come to his
assistance.
