PETRoLEUM.-One of the most wonder.
full things in the history of the present
day and generation is the manner in which
petroleum seems to be springing to tho
surface Of the earth in all quarters of the
globe. The discoveries in Pennsylvania
appear to have set mankind oil hunting
everywhere. In this country it is now
conceded that the petroleum deposit exists
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico
They have set to work to bore for it in
Europe, and it is said with success.
In the East it was also known to exist,
but was not put to extensive use. Late
news from Australia tells us that flow
ing petroleum we'll has been struck there,
which commences finely, and yields one
hundred and forty barrels day. There
are stores of this substance yet to be dis.
covered in every part Of the globe, and il
may be intended to play part among
civilized men which can scarcely be i'm.
agined. Providence in this is kind to
mankind.
Petroleum has existed in the earth
since the creation. 1t remained there un.
til there was actual need Of it, when upon
the necessity becoming apparent, it came
forth in gushing profusion, supplying O
want that was pressing, and stimulating
enterprise and industry to fresh undertake
ings.

Near the Observatory is the Examina-

their purpose of reaching Pekin. Only
200 out of 5000, they told me, can re-
ceive the coveted honor. Their own
chance was not bad one, because, COM

teen hundred miles distant, they would
share in the advantage gained by the
equitable distribution which the Emperor
makes of the 200 diplomas among the
provinces to which candidates belong.

Description of Pekin.

An opportunity was afforded mo Of see.
ing Pekin early in the present month, a
little before the relaxation of restrictions
on passports. I send you this brief &C.
count of some of the things saw.
The streets and gates are singularly
regular. The Tartar city is square,
There are two gates in each wall, placed
opposite to each other; but the south wall
has three gates instead of two, the middle
one being in front of the imperial palace.
Conceive of walls from forty to sixty feet
high, and thirty.ive feet wide, crowned
with lofty towers, of several stories, over
the nine gates and at the corners. Had
not the Chinese government yielded, our
troops would have found no little Difficult.
ty in forcing an entrance through such
bulwarks. So said colonel of one of our
regiments to me lately, and with reason.
The Tartar city is three miles and a
half across. In its centre, is the Impe-
rial city, which, within triple wall, in
closes the palace. The approaches to the
wall consist of gradually rising slopes,
to the gates. Some Of them are open,
and invite the visitor to ascend them
From the wall in the vicinity of the south
central gate, there is fine view of the
place. A succession of yellow. tiled roofs
are seen stretching far to the north. Be-
yond them is "Prospect Hill," or "Hill
of Beauty" an artificial mound made to
beautify the place.
Let the reader suppose himself to be
walking from this spot to the handsome
terre plein to the eastward he will OBJ

ing, on bis left, over gay, greenfield
loofs, which once protected princes of the
Imperial family. lie will also notice the
Russian church very near them, and near
er yet to the wall he may observe street
where crowd of Coreans are congregated.
Their clothes are of white cotton, manu.
featured by themselves. A handkerchief
is tied around their unshaven heads
They wear laced shoes. In all these
points differing from the Chinese, they
exhibit also busting, disputatious, quar-
relsome disposition, which scandalizes
those who watch them. But this may
wear off on better acquaintance. They
drive bargains with ginseng, the root
whose tonic virtues are so celebrated in
China, in stout paper, and strong calico,
all of them products of their own peuinsu
Ia.
After turning the angle of tho wall,
the Astronomical Observatory com es into
view. 1t is an open terrace adjoining
the wall, and equally high. On this ter
race are displayed the beautifully-cast OBJ

ma An "interesting scene" recently
occurred in one Of our public schools. In
a lesson in parsing the sentence, "Man
counting in capacity Of bliss" &C., the
word counting came to young miss to
parse. She commenced hssitatingly, but
got along we'll enough until she was obliged
to tell what it agreed with. Here she
stopped short. But al the teacher said,
every we'll, what does counting agree
with? p swell, Ellen, why don't you
parse that word? What does il agree
with ?" Blushing still more, and stammer-
ing, Ellen at last said, agrees with all
the girls, ma'am."

Iced Champagne.

A gentleman who had been in the ice
trade at st. Thomas, relates some funny
anecdotes about tho natives there and
their luminous idea of Boston hard wa.
ter:
He once sold lump to a gentleman
who sent colored servant for it, with
directions to have it kept for the dinner
table. The servant took it home, and
inquired Of the cook how it was prepared.
After considerable discussion in the kitch-
en- cabinet, it was decided to have it boil
ed. At dinner the gentleman called for
it, and was in high glee, for he had
drank iced champagne in the States and
he felt mighty hankering for second
trial of the same beverage.
Soon Sambo made his appearance; with
eyes rolling on the outside, grinning like
a frightened monkey.
"Where is the ice, Sambo ?" said the
gentleman.
ooh glory, massy /" replied Sambo,

more an half an hour, and when I went
to look for him, be was not dar."

DEATH OF THE OLDEST MAN IN THE
WoRLD.-The Portage (Wis.) Register
announces the death Of Joseph Crele, the
aged veteran of one hundred and forty!
one years, which occurred on Saturday,
the 9th Of January, after brief illness,
at the residence of his grand daughter, MRS.
Brisbois, in Caledonia, about four miles
from Portage. During the past year Mr..
Crele obtained worldwide notoriety
through the newspapers, on account Of
his extreme longevity. He Was born near
the city of Detroit, in the year 1925, as
shown by the records of the Catholic
church Of that city, and was probably the
oldest man in the world.

Origin Of Bills Of Exchange.

When the Jews were driven from Ara
bia in their fight, great numbers of them
passed over to Spain, then in the posses
sion Of the Moors, by whom they were
treated with great kindness. AS no OBJ.
stacle to improvement in learning or to
promotion in rank was placed before them,
the Jews, by their genius and attachment
to the interests Of the State, soon raised
themselves to high civil offices about the
persons Of the caliphs, who respected
them, their learning, wisdom, and virtue.
They established the most celebrated
schools then in the world, both for sacred
and profaue literature. The Talmud,
which in Arabia had been the only book
studied by the Hebrews, gave place to the
Scriptures, together with tho most elabo-
rate treatises on the arts and sciences, in
the knowledge of which they took prece-
dence of every learned fraternity in Eu.
rope.
In the fine arts they likewise made
great proficiency. Several among them
arc celebrated to this day as astronomers,
architects, jurists, historians, poets, paint.
ers, and physicians. But neither the
learning nor loyalty of the Jews availed
them aught, when the crescent was sup
planted by the red banners of the Cross.
On the defeat of the Saracens, Ferdinand
and Isabella left them choice between
baptism and Punishment; and, with the
exception of FIVE hundred, whom the ex-
tremes of age and poverty prevented from
removing, all preferred the latter. As
the period for their departure was limited
to fixed hour, after which those remain.
ing were liable to suffer death in case
they refused baptism, the condition of the
Jews was tho most lamentable that can
we'll be imagined.
But they were not suffered to renal
in.thc peaceful enjoyment of the time allot.
ted to them by the royal edict. The
Christians fell on them in many places and
put them to death without regard to age,
sex, or condition. Those of them who
had escaped towards the sea previous to
the breaking out Of the disturbances in
the interior of the country were either pur-
sued or butchered on the coast, or were
drowned in great numbers through the
treachery of those who supplied them with
vessels. Few arrived safely in Italy !;
and even these were only sheltered from
fate such as they had fed from by
papal bull. 1t was on this memorable
occasion that some Spanish Jew mer-
chants conirived, by the invention of bills
nf exchange, to possess themselves in Italy
of that wealth which they had no means
of removing out of the dominions of Fer.
dinand. Of what immense utility that in
ventiou has since been to the mercantile
world it is needless to inquire.

A Deer Killed by q Woman.

A rather odd incident in the way of deer
hunting took place recently in the town
ship of Westmeath, in the county Of
ReDfrew. About three miles from Beech
burg lives Mrs. NJ, who on the
morning in question, was busy spinning
away, enlivening the passing hour with q
familiar ditty, when she was startled by
the appearance at the door of iine, large
specimen of the deer species. A small
dog belonging to the establishment, with
the usual impudence of diminutive men,
bers of the canine tribe, made an attack
upon the deer. In his attempt to keep
back his dogship, the deer stumbled and
fell over a log before the door. Seeing
the golden opportunity, Mrs. NJ
rushed out and caught the deer, and
pressing him, held him down. Now the
critical moment had arrived.
Mrs. NJ had the deer down, and
was able to hold him down, but no more.
Her husband was away, plying his awl
in the 'land of the Free" and there was
no one around the premises but herself,
the dog and the deer. She dare not at
tempt offensive operations, lest his deer
ship should get up and make off with the
celebrity of his race. In this emergency
she summoned all the lung-power she
possessed, and, shouting till the woods
rang again with the echo Of her voice, a.
reused her nearest noighbor, Mrs. e.
whose husband was absent at that time.
In terrible trepidation lest some dire
mischief had befallen her neighbor, Mrs.
B. rnshed to Mrs. Ms as
sistance. Her establishment on arriving
at the scene of action to find her neigh
Dor on top Of the deer, may better be i'm
agined than described. There was no
time to be lost in making explanations,
however, and so, without more ado, she
sprang into Mrs. Ms house, got
hold Of shoe-maker's knife, and there
with speedily deprived the deer of his
dearly priced life.

here with certain Senators to appeal to
the Constitution. I know that it is of
no use to appeal to the past construction
which has been put upon that instrument.

who think certain things ought to DO
done and no matter what barrier stands in
the way they think they are doing Gods
service when they ovcrleapit. When the
war was raging over one-half Of the Re-
public, when it required all the energies
of the loyal portion Of the Union to sus.
tain that war and to keep soldiers in the
field, have often kept silent, and have
not, as often as I would otherwise have
done, raised my voice against these vio-

sS-An extraordinary genius has been
discovered in Ireland in the person Of a
lad sixteen years of age. The lad has
constructed, entirely unaided, piece Of
machinery in full motion, occupying a
ground space Of six or eight feet square
and driven by a small water wheel about
four feet in diameter. Ona close inspec-
ton it was found that the various wheels,
cogs, cranks and spindles were entirely
wood, and were performing simultaneous
ly the varied operations Of pumping,
churning, hammering on an anvil, per-
psndioular saw, diagonal and circular saw,
&c., but SO cleverly adapted to these rcspec-
tive uses that the whole was driven with
the most perfect and easy motion by the
water.wheel already alluded to. The lad
is tho SON of blacksmith living 10 Knor-
kruth, county Of Wicklow, and has never
been ten miles from home.

%Batty, an English lion.tamer, came
near losing his head a short time ago;
while giving an exhibition in Paris. He

at the same time holding his hands be-,

to infict deep wounds on each side of the

profusely. A cry Of horror rose from the
spectators, and numbers made a rush to
leave the building, but Batty, without
