An accountso OF 6igner Pier0ttps discov-
cries IN the suhteTranean Topography Of
Jerusalem has been published Ems
ployed by the Pasha as an engineer, be
has discovered that the modern city Of
Jerusalem stands on seve- al layers of
ruined masonry, the undernost Of which,
composed OF deeply -bevelled and enor-
nous stones, he attributes to the age Of
Solomon, the next 70 that Of ZOrobabel,
the.next TO that Of Hered, the next to
that of Justinian, and so on till the times
of the Sal aeens and Crusaders. He has
traced aseriesof conduits and sewers lead
ing from the dome OF the rock, mosque
standing on the very side Of the altar OF
sacrifice In the temple, to the valley OF
Jehosaphat, by means Of which the
priests were enabled to flush the whole
temple area with water, and thus 70
carry off the blood aud ofial Of the sac
rifices to the brook Kedron. Tha man
ner OF his explorations was very inter-
esting. He got an Arab to walk up
through these immense sewers, ringing
a bell and blowing a trumpet, which be
himself, by following the sound, was
able to trace the exact course they took.
About two years ago, he accidentally
discovered fountain at the pool Of Be
thesda; and on his opening il, q copious
stream OF water immediately be-
gan TO flow, and has flowed ever
since. No one knows from whence
it comes or whittier it goes. This
caused the greatest excitement among
the Jews, who fl0cked Ia crowds TO drink
and battle themselves in it. They fancied
it was one OF the signs Of AIessiah's CON-
ing, and portended the speedy restoration
Of their commonwealth. This fountain,
which has a peculiar taste, like that Of
milk and water, is identified by SignoT
Pierotti with the fountain which Heze-
kiah built, and which is described by
Josephus. The measurements and posi-
tion of most of these remains accord ex-
actIy with the Jewish historiSn's descrip-
tions. Soine Of the signoT's conclusions
are disputed, but no one has succeeded in
so disinterring the relics of the holy city.
TIE CROSS.
Quaint though the construction Of the
following poem, yet never has the story
Of the Cross been told with more truth
fHl simplicity:
Blest they who seek,
While in their youth
With spirit meek,
The way OF tEuth,
To them the sacred scr ptures now display
Christ as the only true and living way
His precious blood on Calvary was given
TO mako them heirs Of endless bliss in Heaven
And cen on earth the child of God eau trace
The glorious blessings OF his SagiOur's grace.
For them he bore
HIS Fathers frOWng
For them he wore
The thoFny Crown;
Nailed 70 the Cross,
Endured It's pain,
That Bis ife's loss
Might be their gain
Then haste 70 choose
That better part,
Nor cen dare refuse,
The Lord thy heart
Lest He declare
u know You not;
Aud deep despair
Forever be yOur lot.
Now look TO Jesus who on Calvary died.
And trust on Him alone who there was cfuclfed.

Al Sinbad the Sailor groaned under tho
burden Of "the old man OF the sea-" so
General Hawley, Of Connecticut, we learn, Is
groaning under the burden Of the Snowman
Barnum. AS Mayor Hoffman last fall; in run
ming for Governor Of New York, broke down
under the dead weights Of James Brooks Fer
nando Wood and John Morrissey, SO 1t is feared
General Hawley will break down with the
dead weight of Barnum. AS Brooks, Wood
and Morrissey jumped into Congress from the
shoulders of Hoffman, SO may Barnum jump in
from the broad shoulders OF General Hawley.
But as the moral reaction throughout this
State against the nominations of Brooks, Wood
and Morrissey laid out Hoffman by nearly
fifteen thousand majority against him, so it is
predicted that the moral reaction In Con-
-necticut against Barnum, as ga nomination not
at to be made" will be the political death of
General Hawley. Barnum may slip through
by the skin Of his teeth, but his thirty years in
all his various tricks of obtaining money on
false pretences, we are informed, is regarded
AS q bitter dose for the sober, honest, hard
working, moral portion of the good people Of
Connecticut
We hear, indeed, that there is, especially
among the parsons, q low rumbling going on
all over the State, which will 'be very apt to
culminate in moral earthquake against Bar
mum the Snowman on election day, in the de-
feat Of Hawley by two or three thousand
majority, because he is riding the same horse
che woolly horse-with Barnum. And what
says Touchstone? "When two ride horse,
one must ride behind" From o newspaper
point of view we rather like the idea OF this
Barnum going to Congress- We shall be able
to mako him good subject for the amusement
Of our readers on such an occasion, for in
stance, as passage at arms between him and
Brooks. Wood, Morrissey or Ben Butler, or the
redoubtable Ashley. "Old Thad Stevens"
would hardly touch the Snowman, except to
stir him up with long pole; but that would
be good thing for the newspapers. But the
moral character Of Connecticut, it appears, is
beginning TO be understood as involved In the
contest over Barnum the Snowman, and Haw-
ley, It Is feared, will be made the scape-goat
for Barnum's sins and transgressions against
the moral Law in all his impostures, and for the
greater SIN Of boastfully paradiug all his ex-
ploits TO the world in book, yea, two books,
70 The Disgrace of Connecticut The democrats
are in high feather over Hawley's dead weight
Of the Feejee mermaid, and they seem to be
sure Of gaining the State with Barnum the iron
man against Barnum of the woolly horse. As

should not such revolution as this come upon

CHE bari or Carnarven on tho Kingdom %
Ase Canada.
The late Colonial Secretary Of the Derby
government delivered most important speech
In the House Of Lords on the 10th ult, previous
20 his retirement from Office, on the proposed
Canadian Confederation or kingdom which It
is intended to plant upon our northern frontier.
We have already laid before our readers the
main features Of the plan, the organization Of
sthe now government, and the name by which
It Is to be known. The animus Of the project
however, is fully illustrated in tho speech Of
the Earl of Carnarvon. The kingdom OF
Canada is 70 be established as an Offset TO this
republic on the North American continent. 1t
Is prophescd for it by the last Colonial
Secretary that in time 1t will become nation
more powerful than the mother country, Eng
land, and as great in territory as Russia.
With regard to its permanency and compact
ness, these are to be assured by ignoring the
right of secession on tho part of any Of the
Provinces-a principle which the British gov
ernment 80 heartily recognized In our Southern
rebcllious States. Its military power will be
carefully nursed until the new kingdom can
defy, II not dictate to- its republican neighbor,
while line Of Notifications already being adj
vanoed Is designed TO stand as perpetual
menace 10 this country along our lakes, rivers
and geographical boundary lines, from the
Atlantic coast north Of Maine to the Pacific at
yancouver's Island. While these schemes were
being dissected In the House Of Lords great
many soft words Hattering TO the United States
fell from the lips Of the noble debaters. Earl
Russell and Lord Monck saw nothing In the
proposed kingdom but benefit to this country,
and Lord Normandy deplor'd In advance the
miseries OF war with the United States. But
1t does not appear that this feeling OF security
and the growth Of many blessings from the
establishment OF powerful monarchy at our
gates Is shared by the loyal State OF Maine,
which sent from It's cold aud apparently inhos-
pitable regions thousands OF patriot soldiers
for the defence Of this country against Southern
rebellion; for q protest against this creation
OF . kingdom from which It Is only divided
by an imaginary line Is under consider
alton in the Legislature Of that State. Thi;
action on the part Of Maine may be regarded
as only the precursor Of similar measures q
emanate from the other States which border on
Canada--New York, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont, Michigan and Ohio.
~ these and other expressions Of public sen
timent on this question the general govern
ment may be compelled TO take cognizance o
the change In progress in the British Provinces
When by European interference an empire wa
ought TO be established on the ruins Of
\ republic In Mexico we did not interfere. b

n they had been in existence they would have
been specifically embraced in this clause. As
1t Is il is sufficiently comprehensive in its word
ing 70 give all the power needed. The tele-
graph is clearly an invasion OF the rights Of the
Post Office, and takes so much from the public
revenue. Now that such extraordinary facili-
ties are brought to bear on the transmission of
mail matter 1t becomes the duty Of the govern
ment to assert those rights and to give the
country all the benefit Of them. II is unneces-
sary for US to enlarge on the advantages that
would accrue from comprehensive and well
organised system of telegraphs and pneumatic
lines controlled by public department and
directed by q single head. Suffice 1t to say
that II would give our vast territory facility
Of intercommunication that would contribute
immensely to the development Of ih resources,
and It would moreover enable our widely scat
tered population to keep pace in all other re-
spects with the intellectual and scientific pro-
.gress of the age.

european FOIicy ana to0 E0steru QUESTION.
How complete is the change which has come
over the diplomatic mind Of Europe since the
time Of the Crimean warl Then, and for at
least q generation previous, intervention in
the affairs of other nations was tho dominant
characteristic Of European statesmanship.
Now non-intervention is the universal rule.
Amply as this change was illustrated during
the late German war, the illustration yas less
visible and emphatic than that which il is
receiving at the present moment in connection
with the affairs OF the East. l: is impossible
not to admit that as every nation has TIC most
perfect right to manage its own affairs, tic
change is one for the better.
Our recent commnnicatious'from Europe, one
and all, clearly show that whatever be- che
sympa.hies and interests Of the groat Powers
not one of them is likely to interfere in the
settlement of the question between the Sultan,
and his Christian subjects. England has al.
ready emphatically declared for non-intervcn-
portant letter Of our special correspondent at
ST Petersburg, will be On interested and
anxious onTooker but she will be nothing
more. Prussia will follow the same course.
Austria has no choic, but to yield TO
the popular current The Emperor Ma
poleon may have special ends to serve
may, in his heart, he opposed to nom
intervention !; but for the present year at least
his hands are tied France will have no. war
while the Exposition lasts. Turkey will thus
be completely left to herself
II Is impossible 10 look at the affairs OF the
East from the point Of view from which they
are thus presented without feeling toat we are
ON the eve OF Witnessing another and grander
crusade. The passions which in earlier times
reused the Christian populations Of the West
and impelled them in thousands TO the rescue
Of the Holy Places will be as nothing to the
passions which, in this later and even nobler
struggle, will animate every Christian breast
throughout the Turkish dominions. Nor will
the righteousness Of their cause full TO secure
for them the sympathy and encouragement Of
Christians everywhere. Volunteers will pour
in upon them from every nation in Europe.
The conflict once fairly begun, it ia impossible
to say where or how 1t will end. II will be
struggle to the death between the Crescent and
the Cross-a struggle between barbarism on
the one hand and civilization on the other, and
In which the science Of q rude age will have
to compete with the powerful appliances OF
modern times. II the great Powers but stand
aloof and prove faithful to the principle Of
non-intervention, the Crescent must give way,
and the followers Of Mohammcd must abandon
. soil which they ought never to have touched.
II the great Powers do interfere, they may
check the progress Of the movement for a little;
but no interference will ever reconcile the
Christians Of tho East TO Mohammedan rule.
Modern ideas must triumph, and the religion Of
Mohammed must stand aside or perish.
