DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMOUS PORCELAIN Tow
ER.-There is one piece of intelligent in DR..
BridgmaR's letter which we regret to hear,
which Is, that the far-famed porcelain tower of
Nankin has been DESTROYED in this civil war by
being blown up with gunpowder. We remem-
Der of reading in our boyish days of this mag.
nifcent structure, which was then reckoned
among the seven wonders of the world, and
although we never anticipated the pleasure of
seeing it, We are sorry to hear of its destruc-
ton. This tower has always been considered
the chief architectural monument Of the empire.
1t consisted of nine stories, and was assembled
by ss4 steps. The material with which it was
covered, according to the accounts given by
the few travellers who have seen it, was fine
white tile, which, being painted in various colors
had the appearance Of porcelain; while the
whole was so artfully Joined together as to ap-
pear like one entire peace. 1t contained nu-
merous galleries, which we're filed with images,
and set around with bells, which jngled when
agitated by the wind. On the top was large
ball, in the shape OF a pine apple, of which the
Chinese boosted as consisting of solid gold

tT-By little communica ton in Sunday

quarrel brewing between the City Fathers
and the Treasurer and Collector. Some thirty
thousand dollars has been and is to be signed in
City Scrip, and by resolution Of Council, depos-
tied at certain Banking Houses to the credit of
the city. BY this arrangement Mr.. Jennings
the treasurer, not only loses the chance Of han.
ding the money, but nice little sum OF inter
es, which he would be able to pocket had he
the control Of the funds as the communication
claims he should have under City charter. But
he is determined to be reyenged, and to this end
refuses to take any Of this scrip for taxes. So
says the Gazette writer. He will have a good
time refusing City scrip for City dues.
The amount deposited instead of thirty thou.
land was only about six thousand. '4 g.

been dissolved and the house closed Antoin-
cite was not woman's right man through the
sneering bitterness of Lucy Stone, but, full of
womanly tenderness, she longed for some object
to lavish her affections on, and thought it was

length Mrs. Blackwell, and in due time little
lambkin was put in her arms. She found in this
all she had been longing for, and has given up
the whole flock to take charge of this wee
lambkin. Had she found this sooner the useless
experiment at South Butler might have been
saved.
