From the London Review

rLSm tuo 4fOuuOu R0v0Ws
A few months ago, in fourishing town of
India, parsonage af considerable local i'm
portance had some property stolen from him,
and he proceeded accordingly to discover the
thief by the ordeal of the saucer. He took a
brass saucer, pronounced over it words of po-
tent magic, and weird sentences from the
Koran, brought it to the door of the house, and
then, in the presence of the excited multitude.
gave 1T push and set it rolling. Itstaggered
little at first, as if undecided in its proceed
ings, but soon took it's course towards and
rolled down the principal street of the town.
Onitrolled, upheld by divine power, untouched
by human hands, and never faltered till it
turned at a sharp angle down lane, and
stopped opposite closed door. Still it did
not fall, but remained poised on edge, while
the attending crowd shouted to the inmates
to undo the bolt The owner himself came
down, and no sooner had he opened the door
than the saucer lcaped up and fixed itself on
his head. He fell on his knees, confessed his
crime, and was brought up before tho magis.
trateS.
The most curious part of the story is to
come. He was not guilty; the stolen prop
erty was recovered in another mans house
and the real thief was discovered. The first
culprit declared that his confession was made
under the influence Of religious excitement
and superstitous fear of magic; and by de-
grees the truth came out that the saucer had
been pushed along by an accor plice of the
real thief, and had never lcaped on the mans
head at all. The people, wishing to be. were de
ceived. So much for the supernatural, given by
men who had no intrest in lying. If human
nature is 80 prone to PROSTATE itself blindly
before fanciful msrvels, those may we'll be OK
cused who watch with jealousy even the puny
roguery Of astrologers and tho assistance
which they are fortunate to receive from ju
dicial or literary abettors,

GOVERNMENT MULE SHoEING-Tn Washing.
ton, from 200 to 500 mules and horses are
constantly waiting for their turn at the sham
bles. The msodus operandi in shoeing gov
eminent mules is novel. The most of these
mules, being very careful of their feet, will
not allow them to be handled Consequently
machine is built called the "stock" The
mule is pounded into it, two straps put under
bis belly, then hoisted up so that his feet will
touch the beams below. In that situation
each foot is fastened to the beam by iron
bands-the bands beng fastned tightly be-
tween the hoof and the joint above. After
being made secure, he commences his frightful
struggle, which lasts until he finds himself
powerless, when four men approach him, one
at each foot, and in five minutes he is "donc,
finished" There are two of these shops in
that vicinity, shooting about thousand daily
In these shops thousands of men are employ
ed by the government; and it is but 1.-THE of
the immense amount of government mechan.
ical labor that is employed in and about the
city at the present time.

JOINT SLAVERY CRUsADE.-The Washing
ton dispatch to the Sunday Mercury gives the
following as the terms proposed by the Rich
mond rebels to the Democratic politicians
The s'old Constitution means the Crittenden
Compromise, it seems; and magnificent
draft on future stealings is to cover up the
rebel crimes and the rebel debt:
1t is currently reported here that Peace
overtures have been made by the Rebel Gov
eminent to ours, as they fear the shock of the
immense army we nave in the field, about to
move upon them from every quarter. They
also fear the Emancipation Proclamation
The terms of peace are said to be: -
l. The old Union and the old Constitution
2. The Crittenden Compromise.
8. The assumption of the Southern debt
And,
4. The ordering of the French out of Mexi-
co, and the annexation of that country for
nine Slave States.
Really. if Slavery is so hard to be saved
that we must always be in war at home or
abroad to keep it up, is it worth while to try
to save it at all? If the cancer is so malig-
nant, had not the knife better be applied to
it, instead of trying to propagate it over the
whole system and into other systems now
healthy? If these Democratic terms repre-
sent truly what is requisite to the existence
of Slavery, has thing which requires to
destroy the peace of the country and of the
world right to exist at all p Cincinnati
Gazette.
