forming avery important epoch in the history
OF England, in relation to her oivilizasou and
her religious progress-the results of which
have ever most beneficially affectn this eoun-
try. The battle lasted from morning till SIM
set. William had three horses killed under him.
and about $4,000 Normans were slain. but on
the side Of the vanquished the loss was much
greater, and included Harold and his two bro.b-
ers. Williams victory placed him ON the
throne of England, and he became "fatber IN a

The SUFFRAGE QUEsTIoN.-The Advertiser
referring to the recent demonstrations in favor
of manhood suffrage in England, thus Sim
proves" the lesson for the benefit of the oppo-
nents of impartial suffrage in America:
We commend this new supheaval in English
politics 10 the cOnsiderate studies of the Tories
OF our own country. There is moral in it for
them They must be blind as bats, if they can
not see the point. 1t is always perilous ex-
pertinent for one set of men in any free coun-
try to undertake to govern another set while
excluding them from all participation in the
government. Sooner or later alf such experi-
ments eventuate in revolutions which sweep
the experimenters out of sight. -
1t is proper to add, perhaps, that we have
taken the liberty to strike out the word "Radi-
car which in this extract as it appeared in the
Advertiser stood before the word "Tories."-
Radical Tories" is to our mind combination
too closely resembling darkness visible for
plain prose. a. - .'sf

THE RUssIAN-AMERICAN TELEGRAPH-The
Russian papers publish o detailed account of
the proceedings of the Russian engineer-in-
chief, NJ Abaza, and three American engineers.
Captain Meyhood, Lieutenant Busch, and
Lieutenant Kennan, who were instructed to
survey the line of country through which the
Russo American telegraph is to be constructed.
8th of August of last year, and succeeded after
many difficulties in tracing the future tele-
graph. AT last, says letter in the Poste du
Nord, the surveys have been completed from
Anadrysk to the Amoor, a distance of six thous-
and versts, and the direction of the line has
been determined. This immense task has been
executed by the chief of the expedition and
three engineers In the course OF a dreadful
winter, during which they have had to contend
against incredible difficulties traversinr dav nv
day vast deserts, sometimes mounted on rein
deer, sometimes drawn by dogs, but more fre-
quently travelling on foot with the aid of snow
shoes, and always accompanied by fierce hurri-
canes and dreadful frosts. As soon as the Sea
of Okhotsk shall be free, vessels belonging to
the Telegraph Company are expected to arrive
at Guigiga from America with the necessary
materials for commencing the works immedi-
ateIy These ships will also bring number of
Yakoute laborers, who are already hired for the
works, which will be actively pushed on from
the Amoor to Behring's Straits. Already be-
tween Okhotsk and Anadyrsk the works have
been commenced with the assistance of the in
naDitants of the country, who are engaged in
constructing houses and trimming trees to
serve as telegraph poles. Considering the per-
severing and indefatigable activity of the chief
OF the expedition, there is reason to expec
that within three years from the present time
the works will be finished, and this difficult
but noble undertaking will be entirely and
successfully completed.

NEW STYLE OF BUILDING IN PARIs.-There
Is at TINS time in course of construction, as an
experiment and possible model, in the Quar-
tier de Roule, house having nine stories above
the ground floor, and with basement and eel
lars, altogether eleven stories As land In the
centre Of Paris is of great value, and conss-
quentiy, rents very high, the object of the
building in question is to obtain Increased
space by ~ means Of increased elevation. The
house will have this peculiarity-that il will
have no staircase, but It will be provided with
an hydraulic apparatus similar to that in use
by the builders to raise their materials 10 mn
per scaffolds This apparatus consists of two
large Hat forms, ascending and descend
ing every minute without MAKING a
noise. Upon these platforms will be placed
seats so that the dodgers in the house viii he
enabled to reach the highest stories without
any htigue. From this arrangement it would
follow that the upper stories, being the most
airy, commanding the best views, and being
free from all risk Of Inconvenience from iodc,
ers above, will probably obtain higher rent than
the other apartments Thus an entire reyolu-
ton in house arrangements will be effected.

it is said, be provided with ascending stairs
such as We have described-La Patrie.

ing pork, with a determination Of making the
business pay well-and with Mr.. SIMPSONS

they do not succeed. There are in the various
yards little short OF three hundred swine, and
is worth ones while to look over these flocks of
animated natives. Eighty of them will aver
age in weight three hundred pounds apiece.
One venerable fellow rules among them with
the authority of the King of Dahomy, and he
weighs six hundred and fifty pounds. About
two hundred Of them viii average one hundred
pounds apiece. The whole weight of pork
there on the foot at the present time win ex-
ceed forty thousand pounds The swill col
lected by the men employed by the Keeper of
the House goes far towards their support We
trust this immense amount of pork win help
grease the treasury in the way of relief on tax
es the coming year. ~
