uaJ been recognized by the entire diplomatic
corps, including the minister 81 the United Sta
tes, as the de tacto government of Mexico. The
constitutional President, nevertheless, maintain
ed his position with frmness, and was soon es
tablished with his cabinet at Vera Cruz. Mean
while, the government of Zuloaga was earnestly
resisted In many parts OF the republic, and ever
in the capital, a portion of the army having pro-
| nounced against it, its functions were declared
terminated, and an assembly Of citizens was in
vited for the choice of a new President. This
assembly elected General Miralnon, but that Off
Ger repudiated the plan under which he WIS cho
sen, and Zuloaga was thus restored to his pre-
vious position. He assumed it, however, only
to withdraw from it, and Mirainon, having be-
come, by his appointment, President Substi
tute," continues, with that title, at the head o1
the insurgent party.
In my last annual message communicated to
Congress the circumstances under which the late
Minister Of the United States suspended his Off

withdrew from the country. IL vas impossible
to maintain friendly intercourse with govern

ped authority wrongs were constantly commit

The siciIian Mobility.

A SINGULAR illustration Of Sicilian pride and
poverty, with its incidental and inseparable
meanness, once occurred to the writer Of this ar
tice. lie was walking with brother officer on
the Marina, at Palermo, during the high tide Of
the fashionable promenade in the cool Of the
evening A nobleman of high rank drove down
in very ancient and cumbrous vehicle, drawn
by two patriarchal horses, with coachman and
three lacqueys of similar date. The whole turn
out had most antediluyian aspect: their chro-
nology bafIled calculation. The duke stepped
out, came up to us took off his hat, and literal
ly begged for dollar. As soon as we had re-
covered from our surprise, and clearly under
stood what he meant, and that he was applying
on his own account not as the agent Of a char

are addressed, we entered into conversation
The silustrious prince" then became quite con-
fidential, informing us frankly that he had
palace and establishment in addition TO the
equipage we saw, but no ways and means, not
even ready cash enough to supply maccaroni
and water melons. He gave us so many "Ecce-
enza," and so many compliments to England in
general, and King George in particular, that we,

AwnrrER in the London Times says that al
most all young men who have been at Oxford
and Cambridge, especially those who have med
died much in boat races, have, as a rule, diseas-
cd blood vessels, arteries or veins, and very
many of them diseased and dilated hearts-all
brought on by the strain and undue excitement
induced by pulling at boat races In fact, the
matter is now well recognized both at insurance
Offices and in the administration of chloroform
amongst the upper classes, where diseased
heart is to be avoided. 1t would seem the deli
cate fbres of the hearts of the boys and lads
sent to Oxford especially, at once give way be-
fore this pressure Of remora.

DISTANCES OF TUE SUx FROM THE EARTH.-As
the earth revoiyes round the sum, not in circle
but in an oval, her distance from the sun is con-
stantly varying slightly; the same thing OBJ
tains with respect to the moon and the earth.
The distances, therefore, from the earth to the
sun and from the earth to the moon, when men
toned in leagues or miles, must be understood
to be the mean or average distances. The mean
distance Of the earth from the sun is g5,51G,2i0
miles. The NEAR distance of the moon from the
earth is 2s9,l05, nn,iias Consequently, were
there railroad from the earth TO the moon,
with trains going at the rate of 80 miles an hour,
it would REQUIRE Tgs o h66fs' or 332 days and .
hours, or nearly / months, travelling night and
day, to pay a visit to the hills and dales Of our
bright attendant At the same speed Of loco
motion, to reach the surface Of the sun would
occupy period of 363 years-of 365 days
each-24s days, IL hours aud 40 minutes.
Many generations Of men must be born and die
on the road, in railway carriage necessarily
dashng along at pace of 90 miles an hour, be-
fore their posterty could arrive at the great cen
traI iuminary. The sun IS. about four hundred
times further from the earth than the moon is.
The important point is the great diminution OF
the attractive force of 50 large a-Inass. which is
the consequence Of so wide an interval
