Mr. and Mrs Beach, who live two miles south of

that one hundred persons had been out all day in an

Monday came, and the country for miles around

they resolved to devote themselves to the work next

NANKin-A writer in Bldcktcood's Magazine, in the
course of article the Instruction in China gives
this sketch of Nankin This city, which contains
than half million of inhabitants, has thrice the
circumference of Paris; but amidst its deserted streets
are found large spaces turned up by the plough and
the grass grown upon the quays, to which triple
line of shipping was formerly moored 1t is situated
in an immense plain, furowed by canals as numerous
those which traverse the human body. Its fertile
district network of rivulets and navigable water
courses, fringed with willows and bamboos. In the
province of Nankin grows the yellowish cotton from
which is made the cloth exported thence in
quantities. there also is reaped the greater part of all
the rice consumed in the empire. The Kiang-Nan,
or province of Nankin, is the richest gem in the
diadem ofthe Son of Heaven. Nothing in old Europe
give an idea Of its fruituness-neither the plains
of Beauce, those of Lombardy, Flanders.
Twice year its fields are covered with crops, and
they yield fruit aud vegetables unnterruptedy"

and infinitely more effective than the pillow. Since

REPUTATION AFTER DEATH.--h is very singular
how the fact of mans death often seems to give
people ruer idea oil his character whether for good
or evil, than they have ever possessed while he was
living and acting among them. Death is so genuine
fact thai it excludes falsehood, or berays its emp
illness; it is touchstone that proves the gold and
dlshonors the baser metals.-Could the departed,
whoever he may be, return in week after his de-
cease, he would almost invariably find him at a higher
or lower point Than he had formerly occupied on the
scale of public appreciation. - Iiawthoral,.

On Sugdr.-The following description of
this essential article of food, the use Of which
is now universal, and which forms so impor~
tant an ingredient in the economy of vegetable
nature, is extracted from new work by Dr.
Pierce, which has been lately published
"Ihe physical properties of sugar are so well
known, that tits not necessary to describe them
Sugar is very soluble in water and diluted
spirits, is almost nsouble in absolute alchohol,
and is entirely nsoluble in ether.
In our market only two sorts Of sugar oro
met with, the cane and the maple sugar, while
in different parts Of Europe two other sorts oc-
cur, the grape or starch sugar. Another vare-
ty, sugar Of milk, is sometimes prepared for
pharmaceutical purposes. But this article has
little in common with other sugars, except the
name, and the sweetish taste. The cane, beet
and maple sugars have about the same sweet~
enng power-the grape sugar has much less,
and the sugar Of milk less than the grape su-
gar.
The principal impurities TO be sought for In
cane sugar are inorganic matter, water, nolas-
sas, farina and GRACE or starch sugar. The lat
ter substance, though extensively added in Eu-
rope to cane sugar, is not, think, much, if at
all, used for aduteTating in this country. It
may be detected by the action Of concentrated
sulphuric acid and Of solution of caustic poo
tassa; the former olackens cane sugar, but does
not effect the starch sugar, while potassa dark
ems the color Of starch sugar, but does not al
ter that Of cane sugar But the copper test is
far more delicate add to the solution TO be
tested, few drops Of blue yitriol and then a
quantity Of potassa solution, and apply heat il
the cane sugar is pure, the liquor will remain
blue, while, if it be adulterated with starch SUI
gar, it will assume reddish yellow color. Su-
gar Of milk acts with The copper test in the
same way as starch sugar.
Inorganic matter is determined by incinera-
ton, ftrna by the iodine test, water by drying
at 2!o degs., and molasses BY getting rid Of it
by ro-crystaization from aIchohol, as also by
the color and moisture Of the article.
The natural impurities of sugar are gum and
tannin; gum is detected by giving a white pre-
cipitate with diacetate Of lead, and tannin by
giving black coloration or precipitate with
persulphate Of iron.
An experienced sugar dealer easily judges Of
the value of sugar by the taste, smell, specific
gravity, moisture and general appearance.
The value Of molasses may be determined
by drying at go degs., and by the taste.

Arrival of Curiostiss.-The brig Nagns',
which lately arrived at this port from st. Johns,
brought among her cargo eleven fine fat seals,
and what is more singular, an ice monkey
This animal was found in the Arctic regions by
Dr.. Harvey, gentleman who has been engaged
for some time in hunting seals. When found,
his n1onkeyship appeared to be enjoying the
blssfulness of his situation by lodging about,
30 peculiar to the tribe, sundry icebergs frozen
in the ice. The monkey, so far as has been
elucidated, lives entirely on theice, subsisting
on fish, and to relieve the monotony of his quiet
life, he socially communes with the many wal
ruses and seals that occasionally poke their
noses out of the water and struggle about

Gen Hayrau's Corpse.--A most extraordi-
nary account has reached US in private letter
from Vienna to a high parsonage here, and has
been the talk Of our salons for the last few
days, 1t appears that the circumstance of the
death of Gen. Haynau presented phenomenon
of the most awful kind on record For many
days after death the warmth of life yet linger-
ed in the right arm and left leg of the corpse,
which remained limp and moist, even bleeding
slightly when pricked. Nosdelusion, notwith-
standing, could be maintained as to the reality
of death, for the other parts of the body were
completely mortified, and interment became
necessary before the two limbs above mentioned
had become either stiff or cold. The writer Of
the letter mentioned that this strange circun-
stance has produced the greatest awe in the
minds of those who witnessed it, and that the
emperor had been SO impressed with it that his
physicians had strictly forbidden the subject to
be alluded to in his presence.-Paris cores
