SINGULAR CAUSE OF FmE.-The Boston atlas
says the following fact may be useful not only in
guarding against similar occurrence but in su0.
costing one among many causes Of fire which are
undoubtedly often wrongly attributed toincendaran.
"A few days since gentleman ia the vicinity Of Pos
ton observed that the tassel to the shade Of bia
chamber window was badly burned, and in manner
which gave no indication OF the cause. He failed in
his inquiries and no person in the house could give
him any information morning or two after the
domestic who was attending TO the room ran down
in haste, exclaming that the chamber window was
on fire. An examination explained the mystery In
front of the window, which looked eastery stood
shaving glass affixed to asgpoveabe stand. A mag
nifying glass the back reflected the rays Of the
sun, bringing them 10 focus on the window; and
whenever they struck on wood they burned into it,
chsrring the frame in many places. A piece Of
paper placed against the window was set on fire.
and indeed the heat intense that It instantly
burned whatever it touched. When first discovered
the frame Of the window was blazing. Had the fire
extended is not probable that the origin Of il would
have been discovered, audit would have been placed
among those incomprchensble causes which can find
no other solution than vilfnl mischief

AN IMPORTANT POLITICAL CHANGE.

AN UHANUE.
From the Panama Echo, Feb 81
In Ell Concrete de Lima of the LIST inst. we
find the announcement that the Venezuelan govern
ment has taken step which makes an important
change IN the relative position of the three republics
Of Old Colombia and that of Peru. 1t has given
formal official notice that it will settle its own por
ton OF the debt which Peru owed Colombia Our
readers are, many Of them, undoubtedly aware that
when the republic was subdivided into New Gran
ada Venezuela, and Ecuador each State was entitled
to certain share of the debt, but New Granada was
in some sort empowered to claim the shares of the
Others as well as that Of her own. But Venezuela
has now determined that this is not the best policy
and consequently declares that she will settle her
own claim upon Peru.
