THE THRONE OF SOLOMON.

The following account (says an exchange)
ola remarkable piece of mechanism is taken
from Persian manuscript called ssThe Histo-
ry of Jerusalem.'' 1t purports to be des-
cription of the Throne of King Solomon, and
If the details are correctly given, it undeubt-
edly surpasses any piece of mechanism pro-
duced in modern times. Thesidcs of il were
pure gold, the feet of emerald and rubies, in
termixcd with pearls, each of which was as
large as an ostrich's egg. The throne had sew
en- steps-on each side were delineated orch
ards full of trees, the branches of which were
ofprecious stones, representing fruit ripe, and
unripe; on the tops of trees were to be seen
figures OF plumage birds, particularly the pea
cock, the staub, and the kurgcs. All these
birds were followed within artifcially, so as
to occasionally utter thousand melodious
sounds, such as the ears of mortals never heard.
On the first was delineated vine branches hay
:ng punches of grapes, composed of various
sorts of precious stones, fashioned in such q
manner as to represent the various colors of
purple, violet. green and red, SO as to render
the appearance of real fruit. On the second b
step each side of the throne were two lions
of cast gold. The nature of this remarkable,
throne was such that when Solomon placed
his foot on the first step, the birds spread forth
their wings and made a fiuttering noise in the
air. On his touching the second step, the
lions expanded their claws. On his reaching
the third step the whole asscmblage of demons
and fairies and men repeated the praise of the
Deity. When he arrived at the fourth step,
voices were heard addressing him in the fol-
lowing manner: s'Son CT David, be thankful
for the blessings which the Almighty has he
slowed upon YOU" The same was repeated
on reaching the fifth step. On his touching
the sixth, all the children of Israel Joined
them and on his arrival at the seventh. all
the birds and animals became in motion, and 3
ceased not until he had placed himself in the
royal seat, when the birds, lions, and other an
imals, by secret springs, discharged a shower
of the most precious perfumes on Solomon,
after which two of the kurgcs descended and
placed golden crown npon his head. Before
the throne was 4 column of FURNISHED gold on
the top of which was i golden dove, which
held in its beak volume bound in silver. In
this book were written the Psalms of David,
and the dove having presented the book to the
King, he read aloud portion of it to the
children of Israel. 1t is further related that
on the approach of a wicked person to the
throne, the lions were wont to set up terri
bic roaring, and to lash their tails with vio-
lence. The birds also began to bristle up
their feathers, and the assembly also, of do
mons and geni, to utter horrid cries for fear
of them no one dared be guilty of falsehood,
but all confessed their crimes. Such was
the throne of Solomon, the Son of David.

REDUCTION IN PRICE OF GAs.-Our city
readers will be grati6sd to learn, by the no.
tice in our issue Of to-day, that the Gas Light
Company have reduced the price of gas, from
the expiration of the present quarter, to thir-
ty-fve cents per hundred cubic feet. This is
In accordance with their promise in the circu-
lar OF March l4th, from which We quoted at
the time, wherein they stand pledged to &c re-
duce the price of gas from time to time, as
the adoption Of every valuable improvement
and the increased consumption may justify I"
We hope the company will not weary in
well-doing, but continue the true line of
policy just begun and we are assured by
many stockholders that such is the intention !;
and, also, that effective means are being taken
to avoid, for all tame, the causes of the mis-
hap which lately led to an inadequate supply
of gas for few nights.
We believe we utter the sentiments of q
very large majority of our citizens in saying
to the company, give US an unfailing supply,
day and night, of good gas at fair price las
near the Baltimore charge of thirty cents per
hundred feet, ss the difference in the number
of consumers will permit, (the one having

Another small break has occurred upon the
