A LAKE OF PrTcH-Sillman's Journal
contains an account of that remarkable
curiosity 'the pitch lake Of Trinidad, ("
w. 1. 1t is situated on the western shore
of the Island near the village Of La Brays,
which is built on q foundation of hard
pitch. The lake stands about 80 feet on
plateau above this village, is circular,
and half q mile in diameter, surrounded
on all sides with dense forest. It's face
is intersected with a network Of water
channSh which gives it the appearances
of mar6led paper. The surface of the
pitch is pretty hard, and when the water
channels are dry, can be passed over on
foot. In the centre Of the lake the pitch
appears to be constantly and silently rising
up en- B1asse. and what is very singular,
numerous pieces of wood are constantly
coming up to the surface from below.
These are from one to several feet in
length, and are forced by the peculiar
pressure to assume an upright position,
so as to appear all over the lake like
stumps of trees protruding through. It
is believed that this pitch lake is boiling
slowly below. Streams Of sulphureted
hydrogen gas frequently issue from be-
meath, the temperature Of which is 81 deg.
Fab. The centre of the lake is some
what plastic, but around the sides the
pitch Is very hard. The water in the
stream and small pools is pure and soft;
fish are numerous in them, and alligators
make them their habitstion. Large
springs of petroleum are in its vicinity,
and about mile northwsrd there is bed
of brown coal cropping out upon the sea
shore it is about 90 feet thick, and APP
pears from its dip as if it passed under
the lake. The pitch is of geat depth,
for it has been dug into Is feet in many
places. 1t is believed to be a submerged
bed Of vegetable matter, undergoing slow
distillation by volcanic action underneath.
This store Of bitumen appears to be in
exhaustible. It is used with wood for
fuel by the American steamers plying on
the Crinico river Mixed with pebbles
and sand it makes excellent pavements,
and ground floors of houses. With ten
per cent. Of rosin oil It makes good pitch
for ships. The Earl Of Dundonald has
purchased tract Of &c acres of it, and
has instituted experiments to discover, If
possible, some means for making il q
Substitutes for india-rubber and gutta-per-'
cha waterproof or vulcanized fabrics /;
and he has already made some vulcanized
cloth. which, from appearances, bids fair
of future success-and every person must
wish him success-such an inexhaustiblS
supply of cheap material as this lake
will soon bring down the price
of such goods in our country, and thus
confer unspeakable benefits on our people.

Anecdote of the Tariff of 1s49.

Sixteen years since, the Astor House
New York, was kept by Messrs. G. d s.,
the former being free trade Democrat
and the latter an ardent disciple of the
school of Henry Clay. Their house was
capable of accommodating six hundred
persons, but their guests numbered only
ninety three; and yet it was near the close
of August, time at which they had a
right to calculate upon being filed to
OVERLOOKING.
Such was the state of things on the
morning that brought intelligence that
the tariff of 1S42 had become the law
of the land. Having read the news, Mr..
G. turned to his partner, saying, "Well,
s., you have got your tariff, but you will
be disappointed in it. 1t will not do the
good you have led yourself to expect from
it." "Let us see," said S. The news
will reach Bangor and Buffalo on Monday
morning, and people from that distance
can be here on Wednesday. will bet
you box of champagne that we shall
have, on Thursday, three times as many
people in the house as we have now"
"Done," said G.
Thursday came, and Mr.. G. went as
usual to make his purchases in market.
Returning home, he inquired of S. how
he was getting on, receiving for reply
that business was then too brisk for con-
versation, and he must come again. Out
he sailed, to endeavor to borrow money
to carry them through the day-the prin-
cipal occupation of most people in bust
ness in that free trade period. This ac-
complished, he renewed his inquiries as
to the movements Of the house, then re-
ceiving for answer that they already had
more than $50 boarders, and that he
might, for the future, give up the trade of
borrowing money. His box of wine had
been lost, but he had obtained in lieu of
it, good Wing tariff, by help Of which
his house had been filed, and he himself
once more placed in the way of becoming
enriched. From that time forward the
Astor was always full, until the effects
of the tariff of 1916 began to show them
selves in 1850, in a decay of trade, that
was, for the moment, postponed by the
gold discoveries of California.
As it was in August. 1912, so it is in
July, 1858, commerce having disappear
ed, under the British free trade system.
AS it was in September, 1912, so it
would be in August, 1858. could our Dem
ocratic rulers, those lovers of the dear
people who are now starving for want Of
power to sell their labor. he persuaded to
apply the same remedy-re-enacting the
great protective tariff of 1842.-Phila-
1elphia North American.
