Gov. Walker persisted in his testimony in
stating that he did not believe President Bu-
ehanan had any hind in the change of the
Kansas programme sent from Washington by
Candle>boI Calhoun, because his denial Of any
knowledge of it was I" so serious and so SOL
emnr' What verdsney Everybody knows
that Buchanan has persistently acted on that
programme ever since, and the attempt to strip
him of the honor Of originating it is clearly a
work of suPererogatiOn on the part of Gov.
Walker.
Gov. Walker has fled with the COvOds Cons
mittee his letter to which President Buchan-
ans, be so reluctantly made public, was reply
The letter proves that Walkers great ambition
was, not SO much the welfare of Kansas, as the
advantage Of the Democratic party. He OBJ
jsets strongly to tie appointment made by the
President Of Judge Williams, instead of Ste
vens, recommended by Walker, claims that the
cordial support of the President is indispensa>
ble, and that unless fully sustained by the Ad-
ministratiOn in Kansas, be cannot control the
constitutional Convention. Gov. W. informs
the President that the PrO.Slayery Party dislike
submission Of the Constitution to the people,
but without it civil war would soon be raging
in Kansas.
The closing paragraphs Of Gov. VS. letter
are DemoeraticaIly rich:
The Union should warmly and constantly
support me- The Extremists are trying your
brrfr hat han
the Convention submits the Constitution to
the people and the vote is given by them! But
we must have Slave State out Of the South
western Indisn Territory, and then calm will
follow, Cuba be acquired with the &C Iuiescence
of the North: and your aiminissratiOn, having
in reality settled the Slavery question, viii be
regarded in ali time to come Es a re-signing and
re-sealing Of the Constitution.
Please say to Gov. Floyd that the glorious
sons Of the Old Dominion here warmly sustain
me. Il will never do to send Gen. Harney to
Utah until the difficulties in Kansas are set
tied. He is a terror TO the Black Republicans,
and Just the man for the occasion. When first

APPEARANCE OF THE FIVE ANCIENT CTFIEs
REoEKTLY DIscovERED.-FIve ancient cities,
deserted and forgotten, have been discovered in
the Great Desert, beyond the River Jordan
A report made to the Royal Asistie Society,
by Mr.. Graham, an Englishman lately returned
from travels in the East, gives the particulars
Of the discovery. "Tbey were as perfect as if
the inhabitants had just LEFT them, the houses
retaining the massive stone doors which are
characteristic of the architecture ofthat region.
One of the cities is remarkable for large build
ing like q castle, built of white stone, beauti.
fully cut. Further eastward other p>,Szs
were found, where every stone had inscriptions
in an unknown character, bearing some ap>
parent likeness to the Greek alphAbet formerly
in use in Southern Arabia"

The Mothers n-hIarvelOus Veri-
Rcation OF n Vision.
Sir Charles lee, by his FIRST lady, had only
one daughter, OF which she died in child
birth; and, when she was dead, her sister,
the Lady Everard, desired 10 have the edu-
cation Of the child and she was by her very
well educated till she was marriageable, anda
match was concluded for her with Sir
William Perkins, but was then prevented in
an extraordinary manner.
Upon a Thursday night, she, thinking she
saw light in her chamber after she was in
bed, knocked for her maid, who presently
came to her; and she asked why she left a
candle burning in her chamber. The maid
said she left none, and there was none but
what she brought with her at that time.
Then she said it was the FIRE; but that, her
maid told her, was quite out, and said she
believed it was only dream; whereupon she
said it might be 30, and composed herself
again to sleep. But about two o'clock she
was awakened again, and saw the apparition
Of little woman between her curtain and
her pillow, who told her she was her
mother, that she was happy, and that by
twelve o'clock that day she would be with
her.
Whereupon she knocked again for her
maid, called for her clothes, and when she
was dressed, went into her closet, and came
not out again till nine, and then brought out
with her a letter sealed to her father, brought
it to her aunt, the Lady Everard-told her
what had happened, and desired that, as soon
as she was dead, it might be sent to him.
But the lady thought she was suddenly
fallen mad, and thereupon sent presently
away to Chelmsford for physician and sur.
geon, who both came Immediately; but the
| physician could discern no indication of what
the lady imagined, or of any indisposition o.
her body. Notwithstanding, the lady would
needs have let her blood, which was done &C.
cordingly. And when the young woman
had patiently let them do what they would
with her, she desired that the chaplain might
be called TO read prayers, and when the
prayers we're ended, she took her guitar and
psalm-book and sat down upon chair with.
out arms, and played and sung so melodi.

who was then there, admired at it.
And near the stroke of twelve she rose

Waltham, in Essex, three miles from Chelms-

at his house in Warwickshire; but he was SO
afflicted with the death of his daughter that
he came not until she was buried; but when
he came, caused her to be taken up and
buried by her mother, at Edmingtou, as she
desired in her letter. This was about the
year 1862 or 1868. And that relation the
Lord Bishop of Gloucester had from Sir

Scholarly view of a Burning BooL.store

Scholarly View of n BuFuIng Bookstore.
The burning of bookstore is quite an
ordinary affair-an everyday item; but
Benjamin F. Taylor, of the Chicago Journal,
thus lifts it into the domain of the poetic
When the beautiful marble bookstore, NOT
long ago, was turned into a chimney and
blackened like furnace hue, and thousands
of volumes that had enriched it, went tp,
like the Prophet, in a chariot of fire, a senti-
ment of grandeur mingled with a painful
sympathy. We could not help thinking
that the perfumed woods of the East never
kindled a richer flame than rose and fell, and
crept and burst within those walls, as they

went up together, and Childe Harold was in
his element. 1t would have been curious to
watch the red flames as they crept along
from shelf to shelf, and lifted their crimson
necks over the counters, and Tapped up the
fiction, and eat their way through cubic
blocks of history, and devoured Pegasus all
but the saddle, and made heavy meal oi
controversial theology.
How bright for once and o wonder

Of dingy verse curled and crisped, anG

and rolled together like old parchments
how the Lady Of the Lake was wrapped in

Paradise Lost was laid up in the same red

A LONDON MEDIcAL JOURNAL DENoUNCEs
SPIRITUALIsM.-The London Lancet has the
following updu "Spiritualism"
"There is one transparent proof Of impos-
ture or hallucination: the utter barrenness
and uselessness of all these degrading super
stitions. What good does it do to make
table dancer Is it the proper function of
table? At sea, lest tables should indulge
in inconvenient Vagaries of this kind, they
are lashed to the decks. OF what use is it
to know what Shakspeare's ghost thinks
upon given question in history or morals2
Why pay medium TO be told what is con-
tained in sealed envelOp, when you have
but to break the seal to know with absolute
certainty Your medium is impotent TO see
more than other men where the question is
to benefit himself or society. Not fact
not a discovery, do we owe to the brother
hood of visionaries. Can they who can read
with the umbilicus, see through mahogany
door, and converse with spirits, tell who is
the murderer of that poor child at Road?
We have adyer.ed to this subject with q
reluctance that amounts to loathing. 1t is
lamentable task to be called upon to notice
seriously a moral epidemic, even upon a
limited scale, which implies such an utter
defect OF reasoning power-such debasing
superstition; and that, too, in men and wo-
men who claim TO belong TO the educated
classes. In our self fconceit, we deplore the
ignorance of our forefathers who hanged
and drowned witches. But wherein lies the
difference between the witches of old and
the mediums of today They do the same
things, by similar pretended agency, and
what they do is Of equal value TO society
We do not propose to hang mediums, but II
the name Of common sense, and for the
credit Of the nineteenth century, let them
starve, or find an honest livelihood"

LORD PALMERsToN ON THE ADVANTAGES OF
Astronomy TO THE WORKING CLAssEs.-Lord
Palmerston, in recent lecture, said:
But there is no reason why the working
classes should not be taught the main prin-
ciples Of the organization of the universe.
There is no reason why they should not be
taught that those iDnumerable bright spots
which bespaDgle the sky on clear night are
not simply ornaments in the heavens, but
that they consist Of millions of suns, larger,
many of them far, than our own earth, sur
rounded by planetary system like ours, and
extending to such an infinity of space that
whereas the light which comes from our sun,
which is SO, ZOO, 600 miles. from the earth,
reaches us in eight minutes, the light from
some of these distant suns is calculated to
have been hundreds, and in some cases
thousands OF years in reaching the earth.
These contemplatiOns are useful and
healthful to the human mind. They inspire
us with an awful respect and sentiment OF
the vast powers, of the vast wisdom, and OF
the benehcence of that Almighty Being by
whom the great and wonderful expanse Of
creation has been formed. And while, on
the other hand, these CONCENTRATIONS, en-
largiDg the human mind, must tend TO abate
the pride and vanity of prosperity, SO, on
the other hand, they must tend to calm and
console those who may be labOring under
adversely, by letting them see that the affairs
Of this world form but a small and minute
part of the general dispensation of the AL
mighty, and that all these great arrange
ments, whatever thei- partial and temporary
effect, are destined, in the main, for ultimate
and permanent good.
