WHERE DID THEY GO?

WE are told, in Kingsx, %, that Solomon
had at sea navy of'' Tarshish with the navy
Of Hirsst, y and that "once in three years came
the navy of Tarshish bringing gold and Silver;
ivory, apes, and peacocks." Where did this
navy go? We have looked to the Bible expos
itors to end what is to be understood by Tatsh-
ish, and we lind that they have no knowledge
on the subject, but some of them think that it
ment the ocean, in contradistinction from the
''great ocean," as the Mediterranean was called
that the ships of Solomon which we've fitted
out at Ezion-gebor, ON the shore of the Red Sea,
went down that Sea- felt their way along the
coast Of the Tntlcs, China, etc, where they
collected their ivory, apes, and peacocks, and
continued down the America coast to California
which he contcnded was the Ophir of Scripture.
The text from which this inference is drawn
reads as follows: "And King Solomon made
navy Of ships, Ezon- -geber, which is beside
Elotli on the shore of the Eed Sea, in the land
of Etom And Hiram sent in the navy his ser
wants, shipmen that had knowledge Of the sea,
with the servants of Solomon. And they
came to Ophir and fetched from thence gold,
four lplrtired and twenty talents, and brought
it to King Solomon"
Itappears to have taken these ships three
years to go to Ophir and retmrn' Ifthey really
came to california; we should have some light
toro*fi on the history Of our mound builders.
We could then throw open a Connection between
fhe Jews and the extraordinary people who
once inhabited the Valley of the Mississippi.
1t may be little hard to believe that Hiram s
''shpmen,' with all their "knowledgc of the
Sea-, penetrated as far as California; but we are
forced tvs believe something. The evidences
that ouf .nouna builders had some connection
with the Israclitcs arc cumulative and almost
beyond tihestion, Where did Solomon's ships
60? Evidently not down the Mediterranean,
for they were built on the Red Sea. Ophii
must therefore have been on the eastern coast
of Africa, where We have no knowledge of any
gold mines, or it must have been in Asia; or OF
the western coast of America. We shall decide
where it was, but we throw out our suggestion
for the scrutiny of those who are learned ii
Biblical matters.

Officers killed, 1O2; wounded, $40. Enlisted
men killed, 1,6OO wounded, 7,400; missing
alittle short of 1000, a large number of whom

Coin, Permfskus.

During the time when Kirby Smith was
supposed to be beleaguering Cincinnati, the
colored population were in q condition of
agitation not second in denhonstriveness to
that prevailing among white folks. An in
cidsnt TOOK place, at one Of their "war meet
ings," which should be recorded. The able
bodied colored men were debating the propri-
city of their services to the Government as vol
untsers for the war The prevailing imprcs-
sion had Been that tfsy ought to do II, and
their patriotic emotions were at-high African
temperature. But before the vote was takcn,
tall and very black fellow produced a revul-
sion of feeling, delivering himself as follows:
I'm in favor Of goinr, and will go in
mint if We go permiskus with white men.-
I'll tell you why I'm for goin' permiskus.-
II fe go pcrmiskus we'll have fairplay.-
But let 'ein get d regiment all Of niggers,
and dey pitt EN- in do fore front of de
battle, and bofe sides kill every one Of 'cn.
I say no, sab, trolling his eyes around the
audience), and I ain,t goin' step less 60
permiskus. No, sahl'' .a
And the able, eloquent Ethiopian subsidized,
and solemn, sensational pause followed.---
The eyes of the assembled darkeys snapped
white and wild OF the idea that to go in any
other way than "permiskus" was certain
death. And, es they Thought the chances Of
"goin' pefmiskus," were not brilliant, ths
meeting adjourned without taking aetion.

The IAiian Rope Feat.

Prof. Buckland gives the following account
of performance in which he was party. IN
the London Field:
have been requested to be present at, and
give my opinion on a performance which
hardly know whether to call feat of strength
or feat of ingenuity was challenged to tic
the performer Of this feat into chair with a
rope in any way, and with any number Of
Knots, in such a manner that he could not get
loose. Accordingly l presented myself at The
time and place appointed, and, halfsuspecting
some sleisht-of hand trick. provided myself
with several yards of very strong rope The
pcrformer-an intelligent and rather good
looking young man-sat himself in a common
wooden kitchen chair, and presented me with
his rope. l asked if he had any objection to
my using my rope? None whatever was the
reply; 'and you may tic me in any way, with
as tight knots as you please Having exam
ined the chair to sec that all was right and
above-board, proceeded first to pinion the
arms OF the young man, who sat down on the
cA1sF, pinioning them Jack Ketch fashion
behind his body, I then lashed them tiled as
they wcre) tightly, with many knots and then
twisting, to the back of the chair. l then
tied his two wrists tightly to the legs of
the chair, pulling the ropes, fear, cruelty
tight, as the man eft6rwatds showed me where
| had cut the skin; Sit he did not complain
OF this bit, as he had offered me tho challenge.
then by means of double htchcs,' fastened
each ankle to the corresponding leg of the
chair, then tied both legs together, finishing off
the rope with an attachment to the back rail
of the chair. then tied up his body, twist
ing the rope round and round, and fastening
il where ever l could get q chance. The per-
former was now indeed bound hand and foot,
and could hardly move in any direction what
ever. a large linen extinguishcr was then
placed p"er him, tied as lie was, and and the
othcr :pectatcrs stood round, OF a little dis
tance, 90 sec that 20 collusion took place. In
four minutes and half the performers gave
the sigrtal, the extinguishcr was removed, and
there sat the young man perfectly free and
unbouHd, and the rope at his feet. l had tied
him wFsh seven pieces of rope (the usual num-
Der is four,l and the seven fGetes G rtpc lay
at his feet, in no way injured or cut except at
the places where had cut them off the main
piece. and had taken tho precaution to mark
my own cuts, so as to know them again. l
have not the slightest idea how the pcrfor-
mer managed to loosen himself; fancy t,lat
he must use actual physical strength in so do
ing, as he seemed exhausted and in profuse
perspiration. Perhaps some of the readers of
Tie Field, who have seen the trick in India,
where l believe it is frequently performed, may
be able to throw some light on the matter. l
understand that the performer of this Indian
rope feat is now engaged at Crcmornc, and
that he challenges all comcrs TO tic him SO
tight in the chair that he cannot unloose him

AbOlistion Blasphemy.


Tho leading spirits in President Lincoln's
unconstitutional crusade against slavery are
the radical infidels Of the age, disappearing
wretchcs who neither love, fear, nor respect
the Majesty of Heaven, and seize upon all oo-
casions to dishonor the name of Jehovah, and
shock the moral feelings of mankind by the
most profane and impious expressions. OF
this school of devils incarnate Henry Ward
Beecher occupies prominent position, using
the pulpit and the press to propagate his per-
niccious and revolving ideas. He is no more,
in reality, than Greely, Philips, Pillsbury,
Lovejoy, Sumner, WADE and others but he Is
more ambitious Of notoriety, and hence moro
frequently obtfrdes his demoralizing doctrines
Upon the public. A late number Of his paper

TO THOSE WHO THINK.


Now we hold that all external remedies net
either in enc of two ways, or combine the
action of both. First--They act directly upon
the nervous system without touching the blood
vessels-the saRgui|erOUs system. All Amica
liniments, nerve linments ETC.. belong to this
class, and consequently only benUmb the ends o.
the nerves, without affecting at all the circulat
tion-may temporarily stop pain-hut have not
the slightest effect in restoring the equilibrium
of circulatOn essential to healthy action: Or
Secondly--They act upon the blood vessels with
out, as in the case of depletives, Oeeches or
cups) regard TO the nervous system. Now the
fact is--that the nerves preside over the blood
vessels, and an external application TO be effect
i've must act upon both nerves and blood vessels
RADWAY'S READY RELIEF,
