The Seven Ancient Wonders.

These were: l. The Brass Colossus at
Rhodes, l2l feet in height, built by &c.
res, A. d. 2SS, occupying twenty years in
making. 1t stood across the harbor at
Rhodes .66 years, and was then thrown
down by an earthquake. 1t was bought
by Jew frou the Saracens, who loaded
900 camcls with the brass.
2. The pyramids of Egypt. The lar.
gest one engaged 100000 workmen, was
80 years in building, and has now stood
at least 5000 years:
The Aqueducts of Rome, invented by
Appius Claudius, the Censor.
4. Labyrinth Of Psalmetiohus on the
banks of the Nile, containing within one
enclosure LOCO houses and IL royal pal.
aces, all covered with marble, and having

said to contain 5000 chambers, and q hall
built of marble, adorned With statues of
the gods.
5. The Pharos Of Alexandria, tower
of Ptolemy Puilad elphus, in the year liz
before Christ. 1t was erected as light.
house, and contained magnificent galleries
of marble-a large lantern at the top, the
light of which was seen nearly hundred
miles off. Mirrors of an enormous size
were fixed around the galleries, rejecting
everything on the sea. A common tower
is now erected in the same place.
g. The walls of Babylon built by order

The Arab and His Horse.

An Arab named Abou-el- Marsch had,
together with his tribe, attacked the cara =
van of Damascus and gained a complete
victory. The Arabs were already dividing
The rich spoils, when some troops of the
Bashaw who had been sent 10 meet this
anne caravan, fell suddenly on the plum
derers. They were so much surprised that
a great many we're killed, and the remain
der taken prisoners. The Turks gather.
ed the plumber, and having tied the pris-
oners with ropes, proceeded with them to
the Bashaw's.
Abou rl-Marsch had received ball in
the right arm and was among the pris-
oners. His captors had taken his horse
from him and tied him on the back of
camel. They travelled until dark, when
they stopped for the night in the noun
taina of Iapbad,. Abou, his hands and
feet bound with strong leather straps, was
lying near the tent where slept the Turks.
During the night be heard the neighlug
OF his horse who was picketed with the
other horses around the tents, according
to the Arab custom. He recognized the
voice Of that companion of his rambles,
and could not resist the desire to speak
once more to the noble steed. Crawling
on his hands and knees he managed to
get to the horse.
"Poor FRIEND" he whispered, "what
will become of thee among those Turks ?
Thou wilt be imprisoned under the roof
Of Khan with the horses of the Basbaw
or of an Aga, instead of roaming in liber-
ty, as was thy wont. The women and
children will no more bring the camel's
milk, or feed thee with the doura and
barley, in the hollow of their hands,
Thou wilt no longer run over the sands
If the desert with the swiftness of the
wind no more wilt thou breast the waves
Of the Jordan to wash thy bright coat, as
white as the foam. But no Ii am to
remain slave, thou shalt be free Go,
return to my tented home /; 60 tell my
wife that Abou-el-M arsch shall come no
more, and pass thy head under the cur
tains of the tent to lick my little ones
hands"
So saying, Abou.el Marsch had succeed
ed in christening the hair rope which
held the horse. Tho faithful animal
seemed to understand his masters words
aud to perceive his helpless condition.
He gave short neigh and selziug with
his teeth the leather belt which bound
Abou el.Marsch's waist, he started with
the rapid ty of lightning and was far out
of reach before the Turks could realize
what had happened. He continued his
wild gallop until he reached his masters
tent, aud dropping the helpless Abou at
the feet of his wife, the faithful horse laid,
him down and expired from sheer fatigue.
The whole tribe incurred the death of
the gallant courser; the poets sang his
praise and his name is household word
with the Arabs of Jericho.

The Lumber in a Single Tree.

1t was called the Fremont Pine, anc
was situated about fourteen miles east al
Pacersille, near the emigrant road. It,
history aud proportions are thus sketched
by the San Francisco Herald:
In circumference, two feet from the
ground, it measured Twenty-Five fset, OF
nine feet 10 diameter.
AT the commencement of the rainy sea.
s'n last autumn, l. vim Payne and T. A.
Dmmitt determined CD cutting it down
for the purpose of working it into shin
giles l. was chopped off only two feet
from the ground, as there was no apparent
diminuton in size for fifty feet upward
As many as could WORK around it chopped
it off in TWO days. Sven men now com
merced operations upon it, aud havo con-
stnued, with but little interruption, the
entire W inter- and spring.
The first eight feet, though perfectly
sound, was not worked in consequence of
its being little eaty and cross-graiEed.
Above this, eight cuts were taken, of eight
feet each; and at this distance, or sew enty
feet from the stump. it was seven feet
eight inches in diameter. From these
eight cuts, five hundred shakes, four feet
long by six inches wide, and two hundred
and twenty-five thousand sixteen inch
shingles have been made by irving and
shaving, aud without the least loss of TIM
Der. Tnree more eight feet cuts will ca
silly make forty thousand shingles more,
but with some little loss of timber, there
being few small dry limbs iu the last
cut. This il make in all two hundred
aud sixty-tive thousand shingles, at $12
per thousand, the price they brought at
the stump, and we have no less sum
than $3.50 for shingles alone, besides
shakes, rails, and fence posts. The en-
tire length of the tree was two hundred
and thirty feet. 1t may be asked by the
"oli folks at home," how we manage to
saw into blocks tree that, when lying
upon the ground, is two feet higher than
most men heads. We answer, that 1t is
first chopped into on both sides about
twenty inches, and then sawed off into
cuts eight feet long these are then split
with powder and quartered, then sawed
iuto sixteen inch single blocks. 1t may
seem to some like another California story,
and so it is, but it is, nevertheless, true.
We have seen it, measured it, and can at
test to the facts a. regards its size.

TAKING A DIsLIKE.-An ill-natured

the day they were to be married After
the ceremony had begun, and he was ask

"What's your reasons !? asked the min
lister. "I've taken dislike to her, and
that's enough" was the sully reply.
The parties retired-the bride in tears
and, after much persuasion, the groom
was Induced to have the marriage pro-
coed. 1t was now the lady's turn, and
when tue minister asked her the all-im-
portanr question, "No p replied she res.
olutely, Give taken dislike to him."
The groom, admiring her spunk. made
the matter up with her as soon as possible,
and a third time presented themselves be.
fore the minister. He began the usual
ceremony by asking the usual questions,
which we're satisfactorily answered this
time. But to the as,onishment of the
party his reverence continued, "Well, I'm
glad to hear that you are willing to take
each other for husband aud wife, for its q
good thing to be Of forgiving tempers,-
You can now go and get married where
you will-Tll not tie the knot, for I've Ia

What a Spider Eats per Diem.

In order to test what spider could do
in the way of eating, we arose about day.
break one morning to upply his fine web
with fly. AT first, however, the spider
did not come from his retreat, so we
perped among the leaves and there dis.
covered that an earwig had been caught
and was DOW being Toasted on. The spi.
der left the earwig, rolled up the fly, und
at once returned to his first course" -
This was at half-past five A. NJ, in Sep
TENDER At seven A. NJ. the earwig had
been demolished, and the spider, after
resting awhile, and probably enjoying a
nap, came down for the fly, which he had
finished at nine A NJ. A little after
nin- We supplied him with daddy long
legs, which was eaten by noon At one
O'Clock, bow-Ay was greedily seized, and
th'n immediately, with an appetite sp
parcntly no worse for his previous indul-
geDce, he commenced on the blow-1y.
During the day and towards the even.
ing, great many small green fees, Or
what are properly termed midges. had
been caught in the web Of these we
counted one hundred and twenty, all
tead and fast prisoners in the spiders
neat. Soon after dark, provided with q
lantern, we went to examine whether the
spider was suffering from indigestion or in
any other way from his previous meals
instead, however, of being thus affected,
he was employed in rolling up together,
the various little green midges, which he
then took to his retreat and ate. This
process he repeated, carrying up the lots
in little detachments, until the web war
eaten, for the web and its contents were
bundled up together. A slight rest Of an
hour was followed by the most iudustri
Gus web-makiDg process, and before day
break another web was ready to be used
in the same way.

The Proposed Recess.

~ The expedient of. a recess of the Vir-
ginia General Assembly, proposed in the
House of Delegates on Monday, is evil
IDENTIFY failure. The suggestion obtained
some degree of popularity at first, as it
was very much in harmony with the ardent
desire of members to 60 home and pay
some attention to their personal interests,
after three months session. A little re-
Election and a more close investigation OF
the emergency of the country have, no
doubt, made so great change in the OPT
Mons of many that there is now no chance
for recess. We believe the legislative
body will Armly discharge its duty. This
determination is gratifying, for recess at
this time would be full of public peril.
There are agencies at work which seri-
ously threaten the peace Of the State ;
and the only means of thwarting their in
fluences is the persistent and active pro-
secution of the public business by the go
vernment de .facto. The peoples repre-
sentatives should allow no pretext for the
Inauguration of any other by leaving I'M
disposed of the main question which they
are convened in extra session to consider.
The Legislature, we are satisfied, will not
look upon this suggestion as one Of an
alarmist. Its members know that it is
based upon indications and facts that are
not to be treated with incredulity.

The Country.

We saw yesterday several letters from
leading citizens in the country which indi-
cate that the people have not fully made
up their minds upon the " situation" and
what is best to be done for Virginia. They
have not recovered from their surprise at
events. The writer's, however, assured
the delegates to whom they wrote that the
people would sustain them in calling a
convention. Only little time was needed
to enable them to see the strait to which
the State is brought, and that there is no
alternative to protect the public welfare.
All of the writer's urged members to act
at once, declaring that the exigency ad-
mitted of no delay, and assuming that the
path of duty was plain, and no man who
was Git to represent the people could hest
tate at such time to take the RESPONSE

Who Shall Gan a, Oouvmtion ?

"A contemporary suggests that the mill
? tary governor Of this district h the proper
authority to cali q convention TO amend
the Consultation. OF all authorities he Is
|. the only one, Il seems to Us, who Is en-
tlrely without rightful power to do such .
! thing. He Is the supreme authority pro
! tempas, with power TO supervise, suspend,
or prohibit any public measure, TO preserve
!. order, protect personal rights, enforce
punishmeIts. But, from no part OF the
! bill cvnisrrins his powers will be deduce l.
: TIE authority to call the people IN any Sor'
of conclave to make laws OF amend con-
stitutions. z tH e6 8, ~
~ The hin says nothing whatever - to who
i shall call convention to change the Con-
I,t,tu,,on; and we think the object Of Con-
gress is very plain. II was intended to
leave that to be done according to law and
usage in each State; yet ii did not say
that the convention should be called by
the existing government; and whys For
the reason that IL the convention should
not be 50 called, the people themselves, or
3 any portion Of them, might call 1t. And
= this IL most important feature of the bill !;
one which is worthy especial considera-
ton. 1t manifcstly leaves the duty Of
calling convention with the Provisional
Government, coupled with such license
to any and every one to do so, in case that
Government fails to perform this act, as TO
maize the omission an invitation to fearful
consequences nothing less, indeed, than
the superseding of the Government and
+ the complete transfer Of the State autho-
rity from the real people of Virginia to q
body Of men who would WELD it to their
degradation and ruin. u .a
We have no idea that the commander
here would dream Of calling a convention.
2 If he be fair and reasonable man-such
as the present chief oficer-he will respect
i the proceedings Of the Provisional Go
vernment, and see that they have due
force and effect as long as not in contra
: 'vention of the law that is his guide. But
should this Government decline to act, it
viii be his duty to give security and pro-
! lection to any body Of citizens which may
, undertake to reform the Constitution.
T. The law and the usage Of Virginia are
plain. The call of convention belongs to
+ the General Assembly. IL it fails, the Co.
vernon will probably soon be without
power unless he throws himself into the
arms of the disorganizers-which they will
hardly permit him to do, since they have
r too many governors Of their own. In
deed, if the Legislature fails, we will be at
sea-upon the ocean and not a pacific
ocean at that, but one Of tempests and
storms-where may be wrecked all our
s hopes, all our interests, and all chances for
the restoration Of the prosperity, power,
and dignity of Virginia.
