SINGULAR FATE OF AUsTRALIA.-For three
or four generations the Duclh alone had any
precise knowledge Of Australia. The Dutch
had eyes but saw not. Their Commander,
Carsten's, sent out 10 explore tho country
described it as consisting Of "barren coasts,
shallow waters, islands Ihinly peopled by
cruel, poor, and brutal natives-of very liz
tie USE" The natives had mol found the
gold that Nature had thrown in their river
beds and creeks, and the voyagers did not
suspect its existence, The people were
hostile and ugly. They wore no gliitering
chains, as the natives Of Peru did. The as
Pccl 9th coast wasNTild, gloomy, barren,
no tropical vegetation, no luscious fruits in-
viled the strangers to prolong their stay, or
penetrate the thick bush in sea.ch of min
eral treasure. The Hollanders did not
want land ; they came in search Of trade
and gold ; and fndiug neither of these, they
threw away a continent as large as Europe

La The Cincinnati Commercial says a
singular matrimonial bargain took place, not
long since, in Missouri, in the vicinity of
St. Joseph, which, within our memory, has
not precedent. Two married men who
lived near each other, became, from reasons
best known to themselves, dissatisfied with
their own wives, and took fancy each for
the others spouse. Matters being thus, their
better-halvcs were consulted as to change,
and expressed themselves willing 10 acccde
to any measures that would keep peace in
the family. Each wife took her neighbor's
husband, and has since lived contentedly in
her new home.

Ericsson, of applying heated air TO the pro-

will be ready 10 test the feasibility of the

revolution which it proposes in navigation
is too wonderful mol to enlist the liveliest
concern among business men. The princi-

How driven by steam. Mills, factories, and
railway locomotives may employ it. The
