10 distinguish himself except to marry his daugh-
tar to the private secretary Of MACMILLAN, ayouth'
rejoicing in the poetical name Of RUY GOMEZ DE
SaAHEDaA. 1t Is difficult to imagine what benefit
could accrue to the family Of the famous deputy
from connection with the secretary of the ruined
archdnke; so difficult, indeed, that the inquiring
MIND is almost led to beliaNe that the marriage
took place merely because the Jfances were In love
with each other. But such an event is so rare in
France "a, least among good families), that the

The word "sugar," says the Scientific american,
ia derived from the Bengalee word sh,tksuT, which
is still in use in India. The Chinese were ac-
uusinted with the process Of manufacturing sugar
from cane more than two thousand years ago, but
Europe did not use it to any extent prior to the
discoyery of the West Indies. Chinese sugar was
used in small quantities in Europe in the early
times as o medicine. Although sugar cane is gen.
orally supposed to be Indigenous to America, it
has never been found growing wild on this conti-
nent. 1t was probably introduced by the early
Portuguese discoverers. Next to the British, the
people Of the United States use more sugar than
any other nation in the world.

An earthquake aud volcanic disturbance, similar
to those at Santorin, have occurred in the two
islands Of Tercera and Gracioza, off the Portu-
guese coast. On the night of the 1st Of juno a
volcano rose from the sea, about nine miles north
OF Eeuai, and has since been in state of great
activity. It has thrown up enormous masses OF
stone and lawn, and has formed new island, which
is likely to be dangerous to navigation. Sulphur
and other rapor are emitted in large quantity.
The boats have not been able to approach the new
deposit, because Of its ncandescence and the dam
serous character OF the volcanic emanations. NJ.
