IN Cumberland, England, these hollow tubes
nave been found from one-ffth 10 two inches in

Ihe entire extent of the tubes may be thirty

Lightning will also vtrify the surface of rocks
and fuse metals. In 1881 several links of the
IRON cable OF an American packet ship were
melted, and the glowing drops falling upon the
deck set fire to everything they touched. 1t

metals without harming or even singing more

A FISH SroRY-The Mobile Daily Register,
of Thursday last, vouches for the truth of the
following exciting sporting Incident
'.To thousands Of citizens, the enormous
size, and occasionally large number, of Devil
Fish, seen at or about the mouth of our big
bay, are quite familiar, and one of the biggest
became yesterday the prey Of an ndomtable
sea hunter, Capt. Treletlen, of the ship Robert
Parker While on board, or alongside the
Col Clay, near the feet, the captain espied
some three or four of these monsters of the
deep, and Fastening to get his harpoon, pro-
ceeCed in chase of the largest. With the prac-
tised aim Of whalcr, he drove the harpoon
high iu the air before he darted off with the
captan and his clipper-buit gig-rushins
through the water at an awful speed.
''After a chase of some ten miles, the har-
poon drew out, but the brute marked his place
in the water by his blood, and even returned
upon his trail but the captain, having spliced
his weapon, again drove it securely into the
huge beast, who far from being exhausted, car
rled his boat away again with even accelerated
speed. After long and exciting chase, the
captain returned with his prize, which is re-
ported to measure sixteen feet from fin to fin
across-and nearly forty feet in length 1t is
expected that the carcase will be forwarded up
to the city to-day, in order to convince all
sceptics that, save in the simple and unusual
matter of truth, this is no fish story.

A SPECIMEN THE EXPELLED CALIFORNIA
THIEyEs.-The New York Tribune of Saturday
says:
a singular case Of robbery on the steamer
Illinois has been brought before the authorities
Three men were on board who were charged
with robbIng lady passenger, Mrs Harrison,
of large amount OF money. 1t appears from
the facts stated by the captain, that two of the
three men had been ordered to leave San Fran
cisco by the noted Vigilance Committee On
their arrival at Panama, by mingling freely
with the passengers, they ascertaincd who had
valuable property in their possession, and then
took tickets for New York. Among the pas
sengers spotted by these fellows, was Mrs
Harrison, who mad missed her husband on the
transit. They got access to her baggage, and
rlundered it of a large of money The
lady discovered her loss, and applied to the
captain, who instituted general search, when
the property was discovered i'll the possession
of the suspected persons. 1t was proposed to
hang the trio at tie foreyard arn, but by the
irmness Of Capt. Boggs this last resort was
avoided, and the prisoners ironed Yesterday
they were committed for examination

MM1Es-PYRAMIDs.-The Egyptians fondly
conceived (reader, pity them and praise God
that thou art better informed) that the soul,
even after death, like grateful guest dwelt in
the body so long the same kept sweet
and garnsled, but finally forsook it, and sought
out a new body. if once the corpse either
carclessy neglected or despitefully abused and
therefore to WOO the soul to constant residence
i'll their bodies, (at any rate to give it no will
ful distaste or cause Of alienation,) they so
prodigiousy expensive, both in embalming
their dead and erecting stately palaces for their
monuments.
The long-lasting Of these pyramids is not the
least of admiration belonging unto them. Th ey
were born the first, and do live the last, of all
the seven wonders in the world. Strange, that
in three thousand years and upwards, no avari-'
cious prince found to destroy them to make
profit of their marble and rich materials; no
humorous or spitefuI prince offered to overthrow
them, merely to get a greater for his
peevishness in confonnding, than their pride in
first founding them; no zeous-reformer (wbilst
Egypt was Christian) demolished them under
the notion of Pagan monuments
But, surviving such casualties, strange that
after so long continuance, they have not fallen,
like Copy-holds, into the hand of the grand
scgnior Gas lord of the manor) for want of
repairing Yes at the present, they are rather
ancient than rninons; and though weather
beaten in their tops, have lively looks under q
grey head, likely to abide these many years in:
the same condition, rs being too great for any
throat to swallow whole, and too hard for any
teeth to bite asunaer.

RorTENSEss OF HIRELING CosIMUNITIEs.--N e
are pleased to learn that Professor VIM \
Smith has been lectnriny in the portions of
Eastern Virginia on the subject of Slavery
especially pleased that he defends slavery on
principle-contends that the slave relation is
the normal and natural condition of society
and that slavery is necessary social and politi-
Cal institution. This involves the necessity of
maintaining that society, without this patri-
archal element, everywhere proves failure in
the long This, learn, he does with
boldness and great ability. Slavery can onI V
be defended by showing that even the compara-
lively partial and shortlived experiments in
Western Europe TO dispense with it, have been
a failure, and has placed the emancipat ed
labOrer in worse condition than if he were Il
slave in law as we'll as fact No one can doubt
this fact who will examine history and Statistics
Systems formed on such opposite principles as
slavery and universal liberty, cannot both be
right-cannot both endure.
1t has been less than three years since the
utter rottenness Of hirelng society was first an
nounced IN the South. The announcement has
met with no contradiction, much less with any
serious attempt at refutation-and now, one of
our ab!est Professors and most gifted Lecturers,
openly maintains and promulges the doctrine in
public addresses.
The North evades and shirks the question,
but will not be able to persist in evading it
much longer 1t SO happens that an equivalent
assertion has been made by all the Abolitionists
who are all Socialists-and as such, in favor
of the subversion and reconstruction of socety
1t is true they include slave society in their
schemes of REFORM and insist that it is also u
failure. But their admissions good evil
deuce only against themselves. Their teStimo-
nv as against us is altogether hearsay aud
utterly invalid and worthless.

BULwER LYTroN TO THE ScHooIBoYs-S:r
Edward. BuIwer Lytton addressed an eloquent
speech to the scholars of Bishop Stortford High,
School at the annual festival last week. He
urged them to high aspirations, and spoke of
that desire of distinction which led the rank
and file of the British soldery up the heights
of Alma: "They did not hear the roar of the
cannon. to whose very jaws they marched on
with un1inching tread; they only heard the
whisper at their hearts, 'and if we do our duty
this day, what will they say of us in England 2
Ay. and when a bov sits down resolutely to
his desk-puts aside an idle pleasure, faces
every tedious obstacle e-frmly bent upon honor

ment which whispers to him-and if l succeed

prizes sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing.
l was once as fond of play any of you; and,
in this summer weather, l fear my head might
have been more full of cricket than of Terence
or even Homer; but still can remember that,
whether at work or at play, had always a
deep though quiet determination that, sooner
or later, ] would be somebody, or do some
thing. That determination continues with ME
to this day. it keeps one hope Of my boyhood
fresh, when other hopes have long since faded
away And now that separate, let it be
with that hope npon both sides-on my side,
upon yours-that, before we die, will do
something to serve our country, that may make
us prouder Of each other; and, if we fail there,
that at least we will never wilfnlly and con-
sciously do anything to make us ashamed OF
