The EARTH ONE VAST CEMETERY.-,
Scientific writer's assert that the number Of
persons who have existed since the begin
ming of time amounts to 36,627, ,s48, ,375,-
O75,s These figures, when divided by
3,O95, 900, the number Of square leagues Of
land on the globe, leave II, ,s298s0,762
square miles of land on the globe, which,
being divided as before, give 134,722976
persons on each square mile. Let us now
reduce miles to square roods, and the num-
number will be 1854, ia, 100000, which,
being divided as before, will give 1888 in
habitants to each square rood which, being
reduced to feet, will give about FIVE persons
to each square foot Of terra Jirnsa. Thus it
will be perceived that our earth is one vast
cemetery-1,283 human beings lie buried
in each square rood, scarcely sufficient for
ten graves. Each grave must contain 12s
persons. Thus it is easily seen thatthe whole
surface of the globe has been dug over l2S
times to bury its dead s., .,i7 .gd- ~...

q F1zzLED OUT.-With shame and morti-
tifcation We make the announcement, at the
request of the Central Committee, which met
at Cross Anchor on the Sd instant, that the
Musgrove's Celebration is abandoned-the
District Committees having failed to report
to the Central Committee, as requested, any
collections, and that body not feeling dis
posed to assume the burden of two thousand
dollars Individually. Union and Laurens,
we have understood, did something towards
redeeming the celebration from failure7but
in Spartanburg, so far as we can ascertain,
nothing was done in the way Of money rails
ing. Nor is this the fault of the people--it
is rather the fault of the convention at the
battle ground last year, in raising the col.
lectiug committees from the military instead
of the citizens. 1t should have been thrown
open to all, and all would then have taken
an interest in the project. Another reason
existed in the dissatisfaction with the ap.
pointments in the Enoree ,neigbborhood.-
Because A. was on the committee and B,
was left of, B. would throw cold water upon

A New MODE OF MANUFACTURING
BANK NoTEs.--A curious circumstance has
just happened to M. Aguado, whose talent
in photography has given him a European
celebrity. He laid wager that he would
so exactly initiate French bank note that
the difference should not be perceptible.-
By the time appointed the note was ready,
and laid side by side with the original upon
the desk. Judge, jury, all were ready to
seize the smallest indication which should
lead them into the right guess. The gen.
tleman who had laid the wager took both
notes in his hand to examine them in the
strong light from the window. By some
accident be changed or shuhaed them from
one hand to the other, and when he return
ed them to the desk, neither NJ. Aguado
himself nor any one of the company could
tell which was the false note and which the
true! There they lie still-two thousand
franc notes--and all connoisseurs are invited
to give an opinion. Needless to say that
the Banque de France has sent its most,ex'
pert iudges-blt without efect.-Liuerpool
