He up the globe in slices ten degrees Of la,i-

tric circles the outer OF which is scale connu-
ing the degrees of longitude from the section of the
outside of the globe the second gives section OF the

nep of ii the fourth, the animals inhabiting this
land and water opposite the portions which they in
habit the fh the principal birds aud vegetable pro-
ductions arranged in the way and the sixth, spe
cmens of rocks illustrating the mineraogy OF the slice.
Thus il the slice extending from ten to twenty degrees
south Of the equator the outer circle would give the
lori tude; the second, section of the world al The
parallel Of l0o south, raised Immediately upon the
third which is map of this ring of the world; the
fourth gives, under the section of South Amercs
the map, the animals Indigenous TO that section and
under the All sntc, Africa, the Indian and the Pacific
Oceans and the East Indies while the fifth and sixth
circles do tue thing for the birds vegetable pro-
auctions aid minerals of those countries and oceans

Arkansas for Douglas.

| A special despatch from Washington to
the N. Y. Times announces the arrival in
that city of the Hon. Albert Rust, frd m
Arkansas, with the intelligence that the
Democracy of that intensely Democratic
State side almost unanimously with Doug
las in his present war with Buchanan. Mr..
Rust is prominent Democratic politician,
and was one of the two Representatives
from Arkansas in the S4th Congress. The
Times remarks: s-t III
"The President can hardly view, without
alarm the extent of the Douglas disaffec-
ton. That it should exist at the North is
not surprising, but its prevalence in the
Slave States is calamity which the Ad-
ministration could not have apprehended.
Douglas is likely to prove the wedge that
shall split the National Democracy in
twain. Though the contest he is wagiug
against power and patronage is unequal, he
is, nevertheless, not without countervailing
advantages. He may have future, while
Buchanan cannot. Even if victorious, the
Presidents sun goes down with the close
of his term, while that of Douglas may
yet reach the zenith, though defeat
should overwhelm him now. The ri
sing statesman can rally troops of friends,
while even the rewards of power scarcely
suffice 10 secure allegiance to the decayed
functionary whose years have numbered
three score and ten.

Mr.. Bannister and party from Adrian
spent some days last week in search of Mr..
Thurston in the neighborhood where the
the balloon descended, and through cir
cult of several miles around. Not the
slightest clue could be found. Mr.. b.
took great pains to sift the rumors in re-
gard to mans being seen upon the bal
loon, and is convinced that they are with
out foundation in fact. He has entirely re-
liuquished the idea that Mr.. Thurston
came to Canada at all, and thinks now that
the violent nature of the balloon swayiug
to and fro in the air, at its great elevation,
three miles, caused the unfortunate man to
lose his hold aud drop to the earth. A re-
ward has been offered for the recovery of
his body. .s
Mr.. Thurston was forty-fys years of
age, man of much industry and persever-
ance, and highly respected. He was a
wldower, with an only child, young lady.
Mr.. 7. resided at Adrian, and was propii-
etor Of a small fruit nursery.

The Grain Crop of Europe.

The Boston Journal thus epitomizes the
information respecting the European grain
crop of 1858, as derived from latest foreign
papers:
"In the countries bordering upon the
Mediterranean the crop is variously report
ed, but upon the whole may be regarded as
equal to, if not exceeding an average
Egypt will furnish full average. Spain
and Portugal will not require any supplies
from other countries In Belgium and
Holland there is an average crop; while in
the Baltic regions, including Northern
Germany and Western Russia, the yield is
below an average, although high prices
may induce exports to some extent. In
France their is fair crop of wheat and rye.
oat being inferior. The cereal crop of Eng
land exceeds the average, and portion of
the extraordinary wheat yield of last year
still remains in the hands of the farmers to
be added to this years harvest Other
bread stutfs are somewhat under average.-
In Ireland all kinds of produce are abun-
daut, compared with recent years. The
wheat crop of Scotland is excellent, other
crops being medium, and possibly below
On the whole, the United Kingdom will
this year require smaller imports of grain
than in ordinary seasons. The supplying
power of Central Russia is not vet deter
mined"

WASHINGTON, Oct. B, 1858.
1t is stated that Bennett will be here to
morrow, not for the purpose of demanding
explanations of Mr.. Buchanan, respecting
statements which appeared in Col. For

getting that social position for which he
desired the appointment of Minister to
France from Mr.. Pierce. 1t is in The pow

satisfaction that what he said of him in the
presence of Forney has become public,

on those to whom thtse affairs are entrist-

myself and abilities upon such an occasion.
You'll confer upon ME, sirs, an iafnitely
great taoor, if you'll handle this matter, as
you are competent to do, and from the
most undonbted assurance that it was an
arrangement Of their own making, and my

INCIDENTS OF THE LATEST CALIFoR-
MA DUEL.-The duel between George
Penn Johnston, Clerk of the U. s. Circuit
Court, San Francis, o, and w. /. Ferguson,
Senator for Sacramento, was fought at An
gel Island, on the 2lst of August, in the
presence of about one hundred friends and
acquaintauces. 1t grew out of political
bantering in the bar-room of the Bank Ex-
change in which the name of Mrs, Gwin
wife of Senator G., was introduced by Fer
guson. The fight came off in tie afternoon
two days after the challenge having been
given by Johnston the next day. On the
ground Johnston won the word and place,
and had the wind in his favor, and Fergu-
son won the choice of pistols. Distance ten
PAGES. At the first fire both pistols were
discharged simultaneously, but neither par
ty was hit. Second fire, distance shorten
ed to six PAGES. Both fired in hurry and
too low, and the shots fell short, ploughing
the ground. Ferguson pointing TO john
ston's shot, jocoseIy said, "there you are"
Johnston replied, pointing to both-"Poor
shots-I am here and you are there. -
Third fire-Ferguson fired at the word, and
missed. He then braced himself to receive
Johnslon's shot, remarkiDg, "Tm gone
community" johnson took deliberate
aim, and fired at the word "two," grazing
Ferguson,s whiskers. Ferguson felt the
shot, and started as if he had realized the
fact that he was ''gone community" and
fell back into his seconds extended arms.
Johnston looked vexed at the incomplete
result. Terms of apology were now dis
cussed, but could not be settled.
Ferguson lost his temper, turned pale,
and instructed his second to inform the
other party that they would oblige him
by continuing 10 reload, and fire without
interruption. Fourth fire - Ferguson's
right thigh bone broken, and Johnston hit
on the left wrist, and a button cut off Of
the front of his pantaloons. After john
ston's wound was dressed, he shook hands
with Ferguson, saying, "Uncle Ferg., I'm
ID sorry for you, and I'm perfectly
satisfied" Ferguson replied, "That's all
right Johnston in walking away, said,
"l'm sorry, very sorry, that's the frozen
truth"

Funeral of Karl Lucas.

The funeral of Karl Lucas in Cincinnati,
the victim of a political assassin, took place
on the 9th. 1t was the largest funeral
procession ever seen in the city, and deep
toned feeling pervaded the throng. The
co-workers of the deceased, Mitchell and
Rammelsberg's men, 440 fine looking,
earnest citizens, led by Brant's splendid
cornet band, with solemn tread and uncov-
cred heads, marched past the hearse to a
solemn dirge from the "prophet." The
Cabinet makers Society, l6O strong, with
craped banner followed. Then the Tur-
ner's Society, numbering $50 Members,
followed by the Social Workingmen's So
ciety, 400 strong. They bore furled and
craped banners, but conspicuously was a
transparency, one side Of which appeared
in German; ~.s 7f.-l

After this, in solid array, marching four
abreast, came the 10Th Ward Republican
Club, the Workingmen's League, the Fly
ing Artillery and the Hearse surrounded
by sixteen Pail Bearers. The mourners
in procession numbered three thousand,
and it WAS about half an hour in passing a
given point. The Commercial says "the
procession was characterized by decorum
worthy the solemn occasion. The regular
tramp, and the sad and solemn strains of
the bands, were the only sounds which
met the ear in its progress through the
crowded CT thorough fares" Thus was buried
hari Lucas, the German martyr Of an un-
punished Democratic assassin.

H The Louisville Democrat publishes
a correspondence between the Hon. H. S.
Foote, and the Hon. Arch. Dixon. Foote
asks Dixon his opinion of the Illi1ois can
vass, and the action of the Administration
regarding it. Mr.. Dixon says:
The exposition made by Judge Douglas
last winter in the National Senate, (and
yet adhered TO by him) of the true intent
and meaning Of the Kansas-Nebraska Act,
has already received my hearty sanction
and, for reasons unnecessary TO be here
particularized, l condemn, as strongly as he
can himself do, the Presidential Message Of
last winter in relation to the Lecompton
constitution, and that monstrous Legislative
abortion known as the English Bill. The
changeful and vascillating course pursued
on this subject by Mr.. Buchanan, and bis
Cabinet has awakened my strongest dis
gust; and / hold the insidious intermed-
ding which they are now practicing in Ill.,,
to be vicious and eensurable in the extreme,
supplying precedent, which, if hereafter
respected and acted on, will be inevitably
fatal to every thing which is valuable in
our civil Institutions.

HEATING BY CASA mode of heating
by gas has been inventor by Calvin Pepper
of Albany. New York, from which great
things are promised. Mr.. Pepper claims
that two cents worth of gas will keep
room warm for eight hours. He gets his
heat by diffusing the gas through sand
If the gas be directed into the body of the
the sand it will instantly diffuse itself
through the entire mass, and rising to the
surface, may with perfect safety, he instant
ly set on fire with match, the flame GOV
ering the whole surface of the sand with a
pure flame without smoke, no matter how
large the extent of the flame, and with per-
feet and complete combustion. The heat
is almost instantaneously diffused through
the entire mass of sand, heating it equally
throughout, snd requiring but one minute
of time to beat the sand to such intense
temperature that it will retain its heat for
hours after the gass is shut off and the light
extinguisbed, Mrs. Blandina Dudly is put

@ A Chicago paper publishes a cal
culation' concerning Thurston's (the aero
nauD fall. His elevation was thought to
be three miles when he was last seen, and
assuming this to be the distance lie fell, it
would only require thirty one and halt
seconds for him to reach The earth, mein
velocity of 495 feet per second. Assum-
ing bis weight to be I6O pounds he would
strike the earth with momentum equal
to 76O,sOO pounds, or little more than
80 tons-a power sufficient to scatter his
body, bone and muscle, into atoms so Mi
mute as scarcely to be perceptible, if not to
bury him deep into the earth.
