Az INTERESTING REMc.-We learn from
the Pittsburgh Post, that very valuable
and interesting relic of oldcn times, was
exhumed from the ruins Of the magazine of
the old French Fort, on Monday evening.
The article found is the ontside case OF an
old French gold watch, with many eviden-
ces on its surface of having been iu use,
and has on its back the following inscrip-
tion, engraved in rough and unsymetrical
characters:
Presented to James Wetherell, by his
friend, George Washington, May 3, 1855"
This date corresponds (says the Post, }
with the time that Braddock set out with
his Inflated expedition for the conquest Of
Fort Duquesne. 1t was about the LIST Of
May of that year that he crossed the Po-
tomac river, on his road to the Ohio, and
as is well known, George Washington was
with him. On the 10th Of July following,
they arrived withiA' twelve miles of the
Fort, at point on the Monongahela river,
where the terrible defeat and massacre took
place. The supposition, therefore, is that
this watch was presented by Washington
to some one of the name of Wetherell in
Braddock's army.

The TRIUMPH OF Russia IN ACCORDANCE
WITH PRoPHEcY.-A learned Hebrew has
just published a book to prove that the
fall Of the French and Ottoman empires,
the occupation Of Egypt and the Holy
Land by the British and the formation Of
Russian Latino-Greek eonfederacy, by
which Egypt, Palestine and Jerusalem will
be invaded and conquered, are clearly laid
down in prophecy, as the events which are
to precede the long expected deliverance Of
the Jews by the Messiah. his subjugation
Of the world through their agency, and the
consequent establishment of the kingdom
of Israel. If this Interpretation of the
Scriptures be correct, the Russian war
promises to be tolerabIy long one.
, 1855-03-03

p&- Kossuth, in his recent speech in
London, declared that the war against
Russia will never be successful until Eng
land makes it war for liberty, and sum-
mons to her aid the millions Of Poland, and
seeks the alliance of the people Of Europe
instead Of their enthroned and hated kings.
Kossuth is right. A word Of encourage
ment to the Democracy Of Europe, would
raise such hosts of enemies against its des-
potic rulers that the Northern hordes would
be no match for them in numbers or in
spirit. The English aristocracy, have,
however, no sympathy for revolution or
revolutionists. They deliberately stood
by and saw Hungary trampled under the
foot of despotism, and rejoiced when it
fell. They may yet be compelled to call
in the aid of the despised democracy to
save themselves from defeat and disgrace.
, 1855-03-03

FACTS AND FICuREs.-The following
facts and figures in relation to the different
States are worth preserving:
New York has about One-eighth Of the
population of the Union, Pennsylvania one
tenth, Delaware one-two-hundred-and-sixty-
third part. In the last ten years Yer
mont gained but ten per cent, whilst Wis
cousin gained $50 per cent; in 60 years
Delaware gained but 81 per cent, and
Tennessee 270l per cent. There are
about two families to every eleven free
persons in the Union, and one dwelling to
little more than six persons, The aver
age of white persons in the Union is 23
years of free colored, 2454 Of slaves
2l.35; and this age which equally divides
each Of these classes of population is 1918
for whites, 20.27 for free colored, and
1902 for slaves. Not more than 10000
persons who were in the country when the
Declaration Of Independence was signed
can still survive.

TIE NAVIGATOR IsLANDs.-The popula-
tion of these groups of Islands is 33,9Ol
Of which the foreign residents constitute
about l20. In 1890, when the first mis-
sionary visit was made to these Islands, all
the inhabitants were heathens, and without
a written language At the present time,
with the exception of some two hundred,
all are professedly christians, and.the great
er portion of the Scripture have been trans
lated and printed. Throughout the group
there are one hundred and seventy-seven
chapels. The harbor of Apia, in the Is
land of Opold, is much visited by Ameri-
can vessels, and as to Consul has no pow
er, without calling on the savages, armed
with their war clubs, to settle disputes that
occasionally arise, the California Chronicle
urges that L. S. war vessel should occa-
sionally visit there.

ANrIDorE FOR SrRYcHNINE.-Camphor
has been discovered to be an antdote for
that terrible poison, Strychnine A man
who had been thrown into convulsioDs by
two doses of the poison-one-sixth of a
grain each, administered for the rheuma-
tism-was relieved by twenty grains Of
camphor, taken in six grains Of almond
mixture. Dr. Suddock, in letter to the
London Lancet, claims to have made the
discovery.

1000, 900, 900 inhabitants; and of these
333, 333, 1888 die every year, 1884 every
day; $3.50 every hour, and sixty every
minute, or one every second These losses
are about balanced by an equal number Of
births. The married are longer lived than
the single, and above all, those who OBJ
serve sober and industrious conduct
Tall men live longer than short ones.-
Women have more chances of life in their
favor, previous to being fifty years of age,
than men have, but fewer afterwards
The number of marriages is in proportion
of sevcnty-live to every one thousand indi-
viduals. Marriages are more frequent af-
ter the equinoxes; that is, during the
months of June and December Those
born in the spring are generally more ro-
bust than others. Births and deaths are
more frequent by night than by day.

RUMoRED CEssIoN OF RUSSIAN TERRITORY
TO THE UNITED STArEs.-The Paris cores
pondent of the Tribune, under date Of the
10th Aug. states that Russian special
agent had arrived in that city, and would
leave for Washington in the screw steamer
Indiana, from Havre, on the 14th full
ly empowered by the Car to negotiate the
cession to the United States Of Sitka and
other Russian American possessions, for q
money consideration. The editor of the
Tribune vouches for the tIuthfulness of the
correspondents statements, which, in their
substance, were derived from the agent in
question, who, it is also understood, is
charged with various important PROPOSE
tions for the promotion and extension of
the commercial relations between the two
countries. This agent has had extraordin-
ary opportunities as counsellor and conf
dant Of the Court, and as member of the
staff of the Grand Duke Constantine, to
become acquainted with the views and in
terests of the Emperor in the present con-
test.
The letter, which is lengthy and highly
interesting, discusses various subjects con
nected with the war now going on in Eu-
rope, and may be regarded as a semi-offi-
cial representation Of the views and feelings
of the Gar, as he is willing to have them
regarded and estimated in this country,
