TONNAGE OF THE WoRLD.-An English paper
says:
AT present it may interest our renders to know
the extent of the merchant marine from which may
be estimated the real maritime power The ton
mage OF the world is about fifteen millions, the
United States being first, United Kingdom second
France third, and British colonies fourth: but if we
take Great Britain and her colonies together thew
amount al to trlte over that of the Great Republic
This is sad change from 1913 when all the Euro
pean ports were blockaded by us, rot an enemr,s
ship appearing on the ocean, except those of our
cousins, with whom, we'll as the Great Napoleon.
we were then at war. Our merchant marine far ex-
ceeded the rest of the world Now we only stand
as one to three! When Parliament meets British
shipping should in all respects be placed on an equal
lty with foreign, by reciprocity. Since the change
OF the Navigation laws without it foreign has in
creased in our carrying trade as four to one LET
us then have justice done to this great national in
terest, the nursery of our feet.
A RrTT Doc Ann
CAME oUT.-The Petersburg Va. Erpress saws. An
amusing incident occurred while Van Amburgb's
menagerie was crossing the Apomattox a short dis
tance above the POcahontas bridge srikinuIv ilIus
trative of the fact that the bull dog is the most con-
rageous OF all animals, and will attack any creature
regardless of size. As the elephant entered the
water with his usual slow and cautious step, some
individual in the crowd, prompted by a spirit of
mischief hied on large bull dog to attack the huge
animal.
The dog instantly obeyed, and plunging into the
water, seized hold of of the hind legs Of the ee-
phant; on which the latter only switched him with
his tail as he would brush off fly, but not rdding
himself of his assaiant by such gentle means and
feeling sharp teeth at.wOrk upon his leg, he sud-
denly threw his snout around and seizing the dog
held him under the water until be was nearly
drowned; then raising him high in the air, threw
hlm at least hundred feet out into the stream
Fully satisfied with the punishment he had recev-
ed, the dog made his way to the shore, and beat
hasty retreat.
PERsoNAL.-Henry c. Carey is in Paris II will
interest the friends Oftrue public economy to learn
that his late work on Social Science is rapidly ma
king its way on the continent of Europe. Ali the
copies sent there have been sOd and ARRANGEMENTS
have been made for its republication in the French
language In England not many copies have been
purchased, Mr. Bull not relishing books which upset
his theories of governing and pundering the world
But in Germany the demand for the work has been
so considerable as to have absorbed nearly all the
sets OH sent to London. Russia, too, is reading
Mr.. Carey's books, there being in Paris an or
der for several copies ofhis 'Letters to President
Buchanan" A large portion of these letters were
published in the Monuteur Ldustriel and were very
influential in producing the recent defeats of the
Free Traders. The last of these the vote on the
corn trade, was by the decisive majority of los in
the Assembly in favor ofprotection.
HARVEST PRosPECTs.-Having traversed during
the past week many of the western and midland
counties, we are able to say that the country gen
orally has rarely exhibited finer promise. Our
grain crops are generally of good color, and we'll
covering the ground; wheat is almost everywhere
strong and dark and barley and oats are generally
ull of leaf, and sufficiently forward. Perhaps the
sander parts of Cheshire should be excepted as suf
ferng over all its late sown spring corn from want
of rain But on the more clayey lands in that coun-
ty nothing can look finer than the wheat crop and
the potato crop, and the abundant growth of grass
in the pastures. In Northamptonshire and Bedford
shire, again, the promise is everything that could
be wished.-EngLish Paper.
HOOPS IN FARIs.-'Belle Britain" writes from Paris,
In March last that crinoline is subsdng. The hout
ton of Paris have worn hoops of such vast ro-
tundlty as we have seen in New York; and without
being too curious the subject, have come to
the conclusion that the Partisan skirt as now worn
is made of some more flexible material than STEEL
AT all events it yields more easily and gracefully
IN crowd. The bonnets are becoming larger and
the grisettes (who wear caps only) are the only
bareheaded people in the streets OF Paris. Trailing
dresses are worn only in carriages and drawing
in N suDdupd
than in Broadway. r..
SUICIDE OF AN 0crosENARIAN.-Mrs. Mary Travis
a widow aged eighty nine years, who resided with
her son-in law, Mr.. Samuel Hoston near Red Mills
Putnam county, New York, hanged herself on
Friday in a fit of melancholy. She attached one
end of silk handkerchief to the top of bed-post
and tied the other around her neck, and bv throw
ing herself downward effected her purpose Coro-
ner Minor held an inquest, and verdict was rem
dered in accordance with these facts. The melan-
choly was incident to old age, and probably arose
from inactive habits, contemplation of her helpless
ness, &C. ... ....u. ....
The METEoRIc HoAx.-The meteoric hoax. bv
which the Oswego Palladium imposed upon the
community, is said to have largely benefited the
livery stables and hotels in the neivhborhood of
the region where the stone was said to have fallen
Those interesting specimens of ''meteorc stone
sent to the Palladium by its voracious reporter con-
sisted OF sags from furnaces and sections of gran

FeJee mermaid and the whistle made by an inge-
NOUS son of Connecticut from pigs tail.
