TIEN-TEH THE CHINESE UsURPER.-The Quar-
terly Reuieo for October in speaking of the Chi.
nese rebellion says that its leader is in his habits
silent and reserved, living in close retirement, on
.ly showing himself occasionally to his immediate
followers, and then only to issue his commands
His expression, though far from prepossessing,
denotes midness, combined with great tidecision,
and degree of firmness verging upon obstinacy
His complexion is sal]ow, with a decided saffron
tinge In stature he is above the middle height,
and, though of about the same age, is taller and
less strongly built than Hienfoung, the Emperor,
whose deposition he seems resolved, at all hazards
to effect. He travels in palanquin enclosed
with curtains of amber-colored silk, borne ON the
shoulders of sixteen officers of distinction; his
preceptor, or prVy COUNCILLOR or adviser, carried
by eight coolies, follows Immediately in his wake;
and then comes Tien-teh's thirty devoted wives,
for all of whom he is said to possess the sncerest
affection. They are arrayed in costly apparel,
and follow each other in single file, not, as they
might on the shores Of the placid Serpentine, in
clarences or broughams, but in commodous arm
chairs, picked out with vermillion and gold "A
long retinue of servants and a vast array Of SOL
diers bring up the rear of the procession, which
| is said, upon the whole, strongly to resemble
| those gorgeous affairs occasionally exhibited on
the boards of the Lyceum Theatre, London. s,.,.z

The TIDAL THEORY EYPLA1NED-CAvERNs AND
MOUNTAINS ON THE OCEANS BorToM.-A "scien-
tifc writer in the Washington Union, thus dis
poses of the moon theory in causing the tides of
the ocean. IL - 1aga
eff there are such deep, wide caverns, many
miles in length, and some ofthem of unknown ex-
tent on the dry portion Of the earths surface, there
are doubtless other cayerns quite as extensive in
the submerged mountains, plains and valleys of
the ocean! 1t is our belief there are, and hence
that in these huge recesses of the oceanic globe

and out of the internal depths of the, oceans the
waters are regularly flowing as the earth regularly
reno7ves, and neither the moon norsthe stars, nor
the winds nor the clouds, can produce any sensi-
BILE effect upon them"

the River Nacion, near iCryslers Mill, their dogs
pressed close deer, which took to the River,
where the hunters pursued It in canoe Oh ap-

it struggling desperately, being every now and
then suddenly jerlsed under water. The hunters
Immediately approached, and with the aid of 9TH
ers at hand, dragged the deer into the cahoe,when.
to the astoDishment of all present, large turtle,
weighing forty pounds, was found firmly fastened
to the tail of the deer, which would have undoubt-
edly shortly drowned by its amphibious assailant.
The turtle retained his gripe for over two hours
after the deer was killed. This extraordinary cir
cumstance is attested to by several witnesses.

A GREAT BLESSING TO THE AFFIIcTED.-Dr.
MLane, the inventor of the celebrated Liver
Pills, used these Pills for several years in his
practice before he could be induced to offer them
to the public in such manner as to make them
known throughout the country. This learned
physician felt the repugnancc that all high-mind-
ed men of science feel in entering the lists a.
gainst those inscriptions empires who obtrude
their useless nostrums upon the public, and re-
ly upon system of putting to sustain them.
Convinced, however of the real value of the
Liver Pills, and Influenced by the plain dictates
of duty, the Doctor finally sacrificed his deli
cate feelings on the altar of public good. His
great medicine has not disappointed the expec-
tations of the medical practitioners, at whose
instance he was induced to forego his nclina-
tions. From every quarter do we hear the most
gratifying accounts of its wonderful curative
effects-the East and the West, the North and
the South, are alike laden with ''tdings of great
joy' from the afflicted. These Pills have COM
pletely conquered that great scourge of Amer
lea, the Liver Complaint
