HIsToRY OF BELLS Tho invention of bells
is attributed to Paulinus, Bishop of Nola, in
Campauia, about the year 400. They were
first introduced snto churches as a defense
against thunder and lightning in 800 They
were first hung up in England, at Croyland
Abbey, Lincolnshire, in 945. In the eleventh
century and later, it was the custom to bap
tise them in the churches before they were
used. The curfew bell was established in
LOGS, it was rung at eight in the evening,
when people were obliged to put out their
fire and candle. The custom was abolished
in 100. Bellmen were appointed in Lon
don in 1856, TO ring bells at night and cry,
Take care of your fire and candle, be cha

POPULATION OF AUsTRALIA.-Th Census
Commission has issued the following summa.
ry of the population of Victoria, as ascer-
tanned on the Goth Of March last. Some
time ago we estimated by means Of the Gen.
sus of 1854 and the subsequent returns of
immigration and immigration, births and
deaths, that the number OF Inhabitants, in
cluding Chinese, would be found to amount,
at the period when the Census was taken, to
about 400, 900 1t appears that this was
remarkably close approximation, the num-
bers actually enumerated being 403 ,4l9, in
GLIDING 1891 travellers, prisoners confined
on the hulks and the crews, sc of the ship-
ping in the Bay The population of the
Australasian colonies on the lst July, 1861

The Declaration or Independence.

In On address delivered at Troy, last 4th
Of July, by Clark B. Cochrane, NJ. c. elect
from the Schenectady District, occurs the
following passage, which we commend to
such as declares the Declaration Of Indepen.
dence to be a mass of sounding and glitter.
ing generalites
The Declaration of Independence is no
flourish of rhetoric 1t is the joint and ge-
nial product of the solemn sincerity and pro-
found judgment Of the most thoughtful, the
most earnest. the most tried age of the Re-
public. Vagaries became not the hour. 1t
was matured and announced amid scenes Of
perilous grandeur. The earth shook with
ems resounded with the din and death of the
conflict 1t was the period that tried mems
souls. 1t was an age Of self denial, Of self
sacrifice, of profound convictions, of unself-
ish and earnest purposes and it is the dis
tinguished glory Of the 4th of July, 1776,
that the cardinal truth in tho whole logic
human rights, without circumlocution or
useless ornament, first found national ex-
preston and embodiment in the Declaration
of independence He who at that day had
ventured publicly to denounce that instru.
ment as mere sounding and Offering gen
safety--a retreat behind the British lines ?

With many a golden beam;
In this my ~favorite hour l love

But oh l cannot look above,

The FIRE burns low upon the hearth,
And wierd-like shadows crawl
In shapes, q mockery Of mirth,
Upon the ~shadowy wall

Fall gently on my ear,

L dearly love to hear;

Beside the freight,
The shy earcss, the smile so dear
I'm very sad tonight.
If thou vert here the stars sweet ray,
Were beautiful to me;
I'd prize the voices grave and gay,
If Hsten'd to with thee;
How pleasant then the shadowy room,
Tho fires ftful light,
That flashes up amid he gloom,
So sad to me tonight.
Gut thou'it gone, and music's tone

The Chinse Sugar Cane

Having been an attentive reader of the
agricultural publications of the country for
years past-or perhaps as many of them as
any other American reader; we have had
q fair opportunity to Judge of the result of
the experiments Of the last season with
this plant, in all sections Of the country
The conclusion to which we have come is,
that IN ten years time the United States will
De a large exporter of sugars made from it.
Out OF thousands Of experiments made
with the cane In question, not a dozen have
proved unsuccessful. That is, all the rest
have demonstrated that families engaged
In grlculture can manufacture an excellent
quality of sugar for domestic purposes, at
less than the cost of the supply of the Lou
slana or West India sugar they would 9TH
erwise require; the labor of grinding the
cane not being greater and not requiring
more skill than that Of grinding apples for
cider, and that of distilling the sugar from
the juice not being more troublesome or
difficult than the preparation Of "apple
butter from cider. The cane grows equal
y well from Alabama to Maine, on any
land that will produce Indian corn. In
deed, any land that will produce Indian
corn is found to produce a more abundant
yield Of Chinese sugar cane.
Under such circumstances-and these
are now all established facts well known
by all reading agriculturists to be such
within three or four years the production
of sugar from this cane, for family consump
tio1 will be almost as universal in thi
country as the production on each farm o.
the Indian corn necessary for its purposes
Improved machinery for grinding it anc
boiling the juice will also as surely b.
speedily invented and come into use. If
without any machinery designed for tn,
special purpose, its capabilities have beer
SO soon so thoroughly and satisfactorily de
monstrated, there is really no telling wha
1t will prove worth to the country at larg
in a few years. That we are to becom,
speedily exporters of the product we hav
no earthly doubt, nor can it be possibl
that its cultivation in the United State
will fail to work as great a revolution in tn
sugar trade of the world as the successful
introduction of the cotton plant in GU
Southern States has certainly made in tn
trade in all articles with which cotton good
have come into competition Washimgto
