WELLS IN THE DESERT "A Joint reso-
luton has been passed by the California
Legislature, instructing the representa-
tives of that State in Congress to exert
themselves to obtain an appropriation
for the sinking of wells in the Humboldt
Desert, Utah Territory, for the relief Of
emigrants, cattle, and other trains jour-
neying overland by that route to and
from California. Nothing but alkaline
water is met with upon the surface in
that vicinity, and, as a consequence, it is
very fatal to cattle and horses. OF three

A FRlGHTFUL FACT, brought out by the
late British census, is the terrible waste
of existence in childhood in the great
manufacturing cities. In Manchester,
out of every hundred thousand infants
born, less than fifty thousand are alive
at the end of six years, and but thirty
nine thousand at the end of twenty. In
the large commercial towns the waste OF
life is not so appalling, but still is COM
paratively enormous. For example, in
Liverpool, out of every hundred thou.
sand persons born, about forty.fve thou.
sand arrive at the age Of twenty. The
chances of life in Liverpool, as compared
with Manchester are, therefore, as forty.
five to thirty nine. The great mortality
in the first six years of life. in the lattel
town, can only be explained by the close
air, bad food, and the insufficient com
forts of the operatives. Compared witt
the rural districts, both Liverpool anc
Manchester are pest houses, so to speak
In Surry, for instance, out of a hun
dred thousand children born nearly sev

SIR WALTER SCorT's FAMrLY.-A Lon
don literary journal, in giving sketch
of Lockhart's life, makes the following
statement respecting the family of his
father-in- law: .i
"The extraordinary sweep made by
death in Sir Walter Scott's family is 9
worldwide wonder and sorrow. Lady
Scott went first; and the beloved child
Lockhartis intelligent boy, so well known
under the name of Hugh Littlejohn-
died when the grandfather's mind was
dim and clouded. Soon after Scett's
death, his younger daughter and worn
out nurse followed him; and in four
years more, Mrs. Lockhart. The young
Sir Walter died childless in India, and
his brother Charles, unmarried, in Per-
sia. Lockhart was left with a son and
daughter. As years and griefs began
to press heavily upon him, new sorrow
arose in his narrow domestic circle. His
son was never any comfort to him, and
died in early manhood. The only re-
naming descendant Of Scott, Lockhart's
daughter, was married, and became so
fervent and obedient Catholic as to rem
der all intimate intercourse between the
forlorn father and his only child impoS-
sible."

about the 1870. The bay was called
Sebastopol by the Russians during the
reign of Catherine H., whence the name
tf the strons post now besieged by the
Allies. The great harbor of Inkermann,
said to resemble that of Malta, is one OF
the finest in the world. 1t has a depth
OF water varying from 81 to 20 feet, in
which the largest vessels can ride at an
chor, al cables length from the shore.
1t is truly a city Of caverns, for the white
rocks are full Of excavations of mosi
extraordinary character. They consist
of chambers, with Gothic windows, cut
out of the solid stone. Near the harbor
the rocks are hewn into chapels, &c. They
are considered by some to be the retreat
of the carly ages. The Russians have
made sad havoc with all these antiquities,
and splendid remains.

70 Rev. Mr.. Mills, returned mis-
sionary from Ceylon, states that some of
the leading natives of that island believe
the ravages of the cholera and the failure
of the rice crop, from which the popula-
ton has suffered SO severely, are vista
tion from the gods for the toleration of
the missionaries of Christianity in their
midst. The principal advocate of this
belief, native, who was educated by the
missionaries, though he never made a
profession of faith, propagates his doc
trine by tracts aud circulars, thus making
use of the weapons of the missionaries in
his attack upon them.

A MILITARY PIG

Durlng the last war with Great Bri-
tain, very remarkable circumstance oc.
CURED IN connection with the invasion of
Canada. A company of kentucky vol.
unteers destined for Shelby s army, had
their rendezvous at Harrodsburg, in Ken
lucky, and formed a sort of nucleus or
rallying point for the military recruits of
that part of the country. When they
marched from Harrodsburg, towards the
Ohio river, having got mile or two on
their way, they noticed two pigs fight
ing, and delayed their march to see it out.
After they had resumed their march, the
pig which had been the victor in the con-
test was observed to follow them. 81
At night, when they encamped, the
pig found shelter near, and halted also.
The next day the pig accompanied the
troops as before; and thus it marched
every day and halted every night with
che soldiers, or near them. When they
came opposite Cincinnati, at which place
the troops were to cross the Ohio in
fcrry-boat, the pig, on getting to the
waters edge, promptly plunged in and
swan across, and then waited on the
other side until the whole cortege crossed
over, and then removed its post upon one
side of the moving column. Thus the
animal kept up with the troops until
they crossed the State of Ohio, and reach
ed Lake Erie. On the journey, as the
men grew familiar with their comrade, it
became pet, receiving d share of the
rations issued to the soldiers, and desti-
tute of provisions as the troops found
themselves at times, no one thought of
putting the knife to the throat Of their
fellow soldier. What they had was still
shared, and if the pig Jared as scantily as
the rest at times, it still grunted on, and
manifested as much patriotism in his own
line as the bipeds it accompanied did in
theirs. At the margin of the Lake, she
embarked with the troops, and went as
far as Bass Island. But when offered a
passage over into Canada, she obstinate
ly refused to embark second time
Some of the men attributed her conduct
to constitutional scruples, and observed
that she knew it was contrary to the
Constitution to force militia pig over
the line. She, therefore, had leave to re-
main.
After the campaign had closed, the
troops recrossed the Lake, having left
some of their horses on the American
side. As soon as the line was formed to
the great surprise Of the troops, there
was the pig on the right of the line, ready
to resume her march with the rest. By
this time, the winter frosts had set in,
and the animal suffered greatly on the
homeward march. She made out, how
ever, to reach Maysville where the troops
recrossed the Ohio river. There she gave
out, and was placed in trusty hands by
Governor Shelby, and finally taken to
the Governors own home, where she
passed the rest of her days in ease and
Incidence,
There are many in Kentucky who can |
now attest the truth of this remark able
story. .....

POLITICAL BITTERNESS = Parson Ea-

shoe buckles, indelibly impressed our
childish memory, was one of those stern
old revolutionary Feds. who preached
politics, as was the fashion Of the day
and he prayed politics, too; for in one
of his public performances, during the
struggle between Adams and Jefferson,
he said: A.,

average, give sixty-one thousand able
bodied men between twenty and forty
years of age to every hundred thousSnd
infants born. Manchester, as we have
seen, gives but thirty nine thousand.
The mortality in the manufacturing
towns is, consequently, two-thirds great
er than in the kingdom at large, and
about twice as large as in the healthier
rural districts. This, is telling fact
against the morbid growth of cities. the
neglect of sanitary measures in towns,
and the two common indifference to the
