Committee of New York. The move

whereas The New York Committee
made their nomination in resolutions
presented by E. Delafeld Smith, Jnly
% of that year. But the records show
q nomination anterior to either of.the
above, Strange as it may appear, the
first man to nominate General Grant
for the Presidency was woman. 1t
was the nurse who attended hiul in his
earliest infancy. The precise wording
of the nominating speech was as fol

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY ON AMBER
The little fishing village of Schwar-
zort, situated on the shores of the Bal
tic, between Mcneil and Dantzie,
about two leagues to the south of the
former place, has within the last three
years acquired certain importance,
owing to the discovery of large bed OF
amber. This bed is situated near the
Cape Korning, aud is believed to be
extensive. -Four steam dredges are
employed for the collection of the
amber. as we'll as a considerable mum,
her of dredges worked by hand. The
amber is found almost uniformly ii
seperato nodules, with Ignite, dissent
mated in the sands at depth of from
ten to twelve feet. The dredging is
carried ON day and night by shifts o
eight hours each. About 400 persons
are employed at this work, and theil
wages are, on the average, % silver
groschen (52 cents per shift. The
quantity of amber collected is con
siderable, amounting to about 2SS lbs
per shift. and for six days work 5, lSz
lbs. The sand is sent on shore, wher
it is washed, in order to find the
amber.

The ROOF OF THE woRLE is the name
OF vast elevated region of table land
situated in Central Asia, from which
rivers and mountain chains radiate
towards all points OF the compass.
This district lies to the northwest of
British India, and touches on the
Russian frontier posts i'll Turkestan
On the northeast of India is another
unexplorcd tract, running as far as the
most western provinces Of China, which
have recently declared their indepen-
dance of the government of Pel1in
Both these regions have attracted at
tenIion in England. and at a recent
session in London of the Royal
Geographical Society, the President,
Sir Roderick il. hIurchison, dwelt very
impressiyely upon the necessity OF
their through exploration to ascertain
the existence of practicable passes
through the mountains. Murchison
considered it highly important ON the
one hand that a route of traffic on the
eastern side should be opened between
British Burma and China, but on the
other hand insisted that a broad zone o.
neutral territory should be forever in
terposed between India and the lates
conquests of Russia in Turkestan.

the 'people" ask it, be kind enough to

The HOLIDAY SEASON. We don't be-
lieve there is anything that gives more
pure and unalloyed pleasure than the
bestowal of gifts. Like mercy, it doub-
" blesses. 1t blesses him who gives
and him who receives. 1t awakens in
the breasts of the giver sentiments of
charity, love and friendship and in
those who receive, the warmest emo
tions of gratitude and pleasure. The
holiday season is the time when we
give free scope to the gentler feelings,
of our natures, and pause awhile in the
mad race of life, to give free indulgence
to the amenities of social intercourse
and family reunions. Tt brings. for a
moment, CLEANS of gladness into every
household and family circle, however
exalted or humble. 1t induces retro
spection and self examinations, and
each one old enough is driven to the
self interrogation, "For whom should
prepare a Christmas gift ~ This
brings to mind every loved one, revives
old and neglected friendships, suggests
the repair of wrong done and duties
omitted, and beckons charity to the
council board to select her beneficial
ries.
What kind of gifts to buy and where
to buy them, is now the absorbing and
exciting topic of the hour and we
know that we can confer no greater
benefit upon our readers than to help
them out of this perplexing dilema, by
giving them the fullest information,
and making few seasonable sugges-
tions upon this very important subject.
We earnestly advise any one of our
readers, before making their purchases
for the holidays, to carefully read over
our own city advertisements. You will
find here spread before you, in form
at once convenient and pleasing, all the
articles with which the stores of Eliza
beth abound, and all you have to do is
to select the ones appropriate to the
age sex and condition OF the person to
whom you intend to make present,
and just step to the store where you
find it described ask for what you
want and go on your way rejoicing.

deck up through the man deck, and
rise to the hight of seven feet above
the spar deck. On this spar deck
these ponderous projections are curv-
ed into the form of slightly semi
circular shields, each pierced with
four port holes for cannon and loop
holes for musketry. Within these
shields are to be carried four 300
Founders which can be used to fire
straight fore and aft or as broadside
guns. Except the men protected by
these shields, the ship, on going into
action, would not have a man upon
her spar deck. When we say that the
main deck is of iron half an inch
thick, and the spar deck of the tough
est steel half an inch thick, that she
is to be fitted with cupaIo furnaces
for heating red hot shot and filling
shells with molten iron, and that
though only ship-rigged she will carry
a crew of 700 men, we have said quite
enough to indicate the tremendous
power of this great ship. The King
William could be launched to-mor
row, if necessary; but it is so much
more convenient, as well as less ex-
pensive, to complete her fittings while
she is on the stocks, that it has been
decided to defer her launch till after
the Spring tides of March next.
Then she will be removed to the Vic
toria Docks, and by the autumn be
ready to make her first cruise to sea,
armed and equipped from stem to
stern. From first To last she will
cost about e4O0, 900, but In strength
and in armament she is feet in her
selr t5.
