REMARKABLE TOPOGRAPHY. A very
remarkable feature in the topography
OF the country, presents itself in Wise
County, Virginia. At or near Pound
Gap, on the Kentucky side, is a
mountain, about four miles in cir
cumference, at its base; in the noun
tain, head four rivers, flowing in
different directions, nearly cores
ponding with the four cardinal points
of the compass. The four springs
can be seen at one view from the top
of this mountain, and they are nearly
equi-distant from each other, say a
mile apart. These rivers are: The
Guest River, flowing South into the
Clinch; the Lickfork of the Ken
tucky, running West; Cumberland
River South and the Pound River
North into the Sandy. They flow
through four States, and are tributa-
ry to the Ohio River.

It being natural result of the

the United States should desire a
knowledge of the prevailing fashions
among their sister citizenesses, we
rejoice in being able to afford the in
formation. The body dress consists
of equal portions of furs end dirt,
arranged to suit the taste of the
wearers. The married ladies all wear
silver rings in their noses, and
needles through their lower lips,
while elderly ladies' add to these ir-
resistable charms by the addition of
a Stopper, whatever that is,
In the upper lip. Their amusements
are as yet restricted to gambling and
drinking whiskey. The law of divorce
Is rendered unnecessary in Alaska,
from habit they have of getting
married for u limited number Of

equality is soon to prevail, q little
information upon this point cannot
be considered out of place, the New

MorHrNe Msw UNDER Tzs Sun.-In
q lecture upon "The Lost Arts, I"
Wendell Phillips aaid. the ether day,
In New York, that of some 300 dis
tinguished stories published in the
English language. the plots OF fully
260 were invented thousands Of years
before the Christian era. Newspaper
jokes were OF remarkable antiquity.
The stories put on the Irish were
mostly all Greek stories. Joe Mil
ler's Jokes, instead of being 200
years old, were fully 1000 years old.
He next in turn showed the antiquity
of glass. the telescope. the steam en-
gine, making steel from iron, the
balloon, tombstone, electric tele-
graph, revolving pistols, breeoh-
loading guns, and other inventions.
He, in fact, could find nothing-uot
even sherry cobblers. which were
made in the time of Aristophanes-
new under the sun except the daguer-
reotype and the printing press. In
conclusion, he showed how the old
arts became lost through hiding
knowledge in the bosoms of kings,
and priests and the upper castles;
through using it as the sceptre of
tyrants, and to overawe the masses of
the people kept in ignorance and SER
vitude.

MENARD, .THE MAN AND BROTHER. "
Menard is indignant at the manner
in which his case has been turned
over to the Committee on Elections.
He regards the professions of radi-
calisn, of regard for the 'man and
brother, as hollow and hypocritical,
and intends, on his return to Louisi-
ana, to report his treatment to his
t'colored constituents. We subjoin
the account of his casn by the cor
respondent of the Baltimore Gazette:
"Menard, the negro member elect
to Congress-, is indignant to-day at
the manner in which the radicals
disposed OF his case. He was elected
only for the residue of the present
Congress, which expires on the 4th
of March, and he says the reference
of his case to the Committee on
Elections he regards as equivalent to
his rejection, and that he shall SO re-
port to his colored constituents in
Louisiana. Menard further says that
Suc WuOle tuluS was IN experiment.,
on his part, to test the sincerity of
those who were proclaiming negro
equality. He could have secured the
nomination for the next Congress,
but he thought it best to accept an
election for the fraction of the pre-
sent Congress, as test whether a
negro was man and brother
Mr.. Sypher, it appears. had agreed
to urge his claims to seat under the
rule heretofore observed, that the
broad seal was prima facie evidence
sufficient to seat the holder. But
when his credentials were presented
this morning, Menard, who was pre-
sent in the House, had the mortifica-
ton to see his case go to the Com
mittee on Elections without o word
of comment or discussion, as if by O
preconcerted arrangements and under
standing among the radicals. Thus
ends the first effort of American citi-
zens of African descent to be repre-
sented in Congress-.

Thursday morning. Dso. "a. 1868.

The latest news from Eastern
Europe is of o more pacific charao-
ter. Some Of the mossS sensational sensational
dispatches, received several days ago,
are contradicted. The Greek
steamer Erosis has not been sunk by
the Turks; the Turkish ambassador
has not left Athens, nor the Greek
ambassador Constantinople. The
Greeks, moreover, it is now asserted,
are by no means unanimous in favor
of war; for while the Athenians are
oxultant over the warlike prospect.
the deputations from Nauplla, Pa
tros, Corfu and Corinth, protest
against war policy as being ruinous
to the interests Of Greece. A still
we;ghtier argument in favor of the
maintenance Of peace is the una
nimity of the great powers in coun-
selling both Turkey and Greece to
come to terms. Greece has been ad-
vised that she cannot rely on Russia,
which limits itself to insisting on
greater moderation on the part of
the Turks, and she is now reported
to be ready for compromise.
