THE Book OF GENEsIs-At the annual
meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society,
held on Monday at the S~ociety's house,
Albemarle-streej, Sir Henry Rawlinson, in
accepting the presidency Of the society,
proceeded to give a sketch of the progress
which was being made in Oriental studies,
referring particularly to the labours of
Mr.. George Smith in collecting and ar
ranging the fra rmentS of the Nineveh IL
brary, and expressing his conviction of
the cOnneXion SubsiSting between the
BabyIonian document in our possession
and the earliest BIBLICAL notices. He had
no doubt that they would be able to derive
the whole of the history given in the
Book of Genesis from The time of Abra-
ham from the original documents, and it
was not too much to expect that almost
the same facts and the same descriptions
would be found in the Babylonian docu-
ments rs in the Bible. He hoped very
shortly 70 have ready a paper on the
Garden of Eden, in which he should show
that that was the natural name of Babylon.
The rivers bore the very same names,
and it would be seen that the BabylonIan
documents gave an exact geographical ac-
count of the Garden of Eden. He was, of
course, speaking merely ofthe geography,
and not of the facts connected with it.
The same remarks would apply to the &C
counts of the Flood and of the building
of the Tower of Babel, which it would be
found were most amply illustrated in the
Babylonian documents.-L0ndon Times.
And infanticlde, DR.. Lancaster tells u.s.,
is committed in the cratic of the crime
for the whole of England was 1 in 10000
of the population, and in Middlesex L in
10000, while for the central and western
districts it was 1 in 1900, confirming
him in the opinion that the crime was
mainly confined to the domestic servants
of the West-end. Indeed, on an average
of five years the return for Clerkenwell
was l in 10000; st. Pancras, l in 100000;
Marylebone l in 10000; P~addington, l
in 5000; and Islington, l in $1,000" "As
the murderess was generally 90 years Of
age, and seldom repeated her crime, TAX
ing the average life of women at 60, it
followed that there were $4,000 women
living who had committed the offence"

my confidence with a pitiful sneer, [
know that this wretched old hypocrite
himself keeps a wonderful brass top that
will spin for an hour, under a glass case
on his study-table, and in secret delights
TO watch it in motion.
A clever marine engineer, who loves
wheels too, once told me with great
gravity that the human mind has never
yet discovered anything so wonderful as
the principle ofthe common wheelbarrow,
san invention,' he said, so which that of
the steam-engine itself is nothing. The
Wheelbarrow,' he went on, lis the only
example I am acquainted with in which
the very weight of a load is fairly utilised
as a locomotive power There was a
copy of Punch on my table. Our CONVEX
satlon had turned to the aubject of wheel
barroWS from looking at Mr.. Keene's
vignette, In which, some three years ago,
Mr.. Punch was depicted as BIondIn, but
performing the impossible feat of wheel
ing himself in a Wheelbarrow along a
tight-rope in the Crystal Palace transept.
My engineer friend then remarked that,
putting aside the tight-rOpe business, he
was firmly convinced that Mr.. Keene had
in Jest represented what would by-aud-by
be accepted in serious earnest as the only
correct principle on which 10 construct a
self driven vehicle-nameIy, employing
the weight Of the body as a propelling
power, and relying on the fact of motion
as the means OF balance. One thing will
at least be conceded by any person who
will take the trouble to turn to the sketch,
and that is, notwithstanding all recognized
notions and experience to the contrary,
the picture of a man driving himself in a
wheelbarrow looks strangely plausible,
probably from the fact, that the mind of
The observer communicates motion to the
wheel, and is satisfied TO receive that as
the explanation of the balance.
The two-wheeIed velocipede or bicycle
is in part a realisation of Mr.. Keene's
picture. It depends upon motion for its
balance. The two wheels, one in front of
the other, with a saddle between, whether
mounted by a rider or not, will not stand
upright for a single instant at rest; but,
like the boys hoop, being kept trolling,
they maintain a perfect equilibrium.
The bicycle can hardly be called a new
invention being to a great extent a mo-
dification of that very old toy-vehicle of
our fathers, the ~hobby-horse, .whereon
the rider used to sit and row himself
along, so to speak, by padding with his
feet on the ground at the same time,
the entire reliance on the principle that
motion would be, under any circumstan-
ces, sufficient TO produce balance, is sufi-
GENTLY novel almost to justify the use of
such a term. The French appear to be
entitled TO whatever of credit attaches 10

veIocIpede, for, in 1862, a NJ. Rlviere, a
French subject, residing in England, de-
posted in the British Patent Office a mi
mute specification Of a machine identical
with that now in use. His description
was, however, unaccompanied by any
drawing or sketch, and he seems to have
taken no further steps in the matter than
10 register a theory which he never car
ried into practice. Subsequently, the BIZ
cycle was re invented by the French and
by the Americans almost simultaneously,
and indeed, both nations claim priority
in introducing it. 1t came into public
notorlety at the last French International
Exhibition, from which time the rage for
them has gradually developed itself, until
in this present 1869, it may be said, much
as it was a century ago, that Paris has
again been driven mad on veIocipedeS.
Extensive fOundrieS are now established
in Paris for the sole purpose ]ofsuppIyjng
the irou-Work, while some scores of large
manufactures are taxing their utmost re-
sources to meet the daily increasing de-
mand for these vehicles. The prices of
good servlceabIe veIocipedes range from
two hundred and fifty to four hundred
francs (ten to sixteen pound>), at q less
price than which a really good machine
cannot be obtained either in England or
France. The best French pattern is that
Of Mlchaux ct Gle, which Is the one now
adopted Icy most of the English builders
with more or less correctness. The height
of the driving-wheel most suitable for
general use is three feet.
The advantages Of the bicycle over
the three and four wheeled velocipedes
are many and considerable. 1t is less
han half the weight of the old machine,
being put a little over forty pounds; and
the friction is reduced to something like
two-thirdS. The power operating directly
on the cranks, instead of being commune
Gated through long levers, is wholly util-
ised, whilst the motion Of the feet is more
analogous to that of walking. When
once accustomed to the use Of the two
wheeled velocipede, it is not at all fatigu-
ing, whereas the many-wheelers condemn
their riders to a term of hard labour.
AS the result of several months expert
ence in driving a bicycle, | have no hest
tation in estimating it as a clear gain of
five to one in comparison with walking ;
hat is to say, the rider may go five miles
with the sam expenditure ofIabour as in
walking one, and after a journey of fifty
miles he will feel no more fatigue than
after having walked ten. Notwlthstand-
ing appearances to the contrary to the
unaccuStomed eye, the bicycle is, more
over, a safer machine than any velocipede
with three wheels, and far more under
control. To turn d corner with a three
wheeler at anything like speed, is a most
hazardous experiment, resulting almost
certainly in a sspill'-becauSe the speed

The Alabama Claim.

The Toronto Globe Of the 10th inst,
treats the idea of the absorption of Cana
da, the rejection of the Alabama claim
Summers speech and the prospect OF war;
with good humored sarcasm and no little
keenness Of point The Globe says:
"Thc talk which Sumner INDUCES in
shows very clearly that the American
Government does not wish the question
settled forthwith. 1t is useful in the busi-
ness of home politics, and it is regarded
as n convenient screw for pressing good
bargain with Britain in other ways. 1t
will help to keep up the feeling OF ami
mostly toward the old country, so de-
voutly cherished by a considerable por-
ton of the free and enlightened; /; and it is
hoped will make the offender, real or
supposed, willing to come to better terms
by and by Very few in the States, except
among the ignorant Fenians and more
rabid and reckless politicians, dream at
this moment of making the Alabam. dis
pute the occasion for war. Nothwith
standing all their swagger, the Americans
have clear ideas Of what is involved in
such an eventuality, and they have no in
clination to run the risk Whenever o
hard bargain has mad to be driven, this,
however, had been their cue, and they are
now reckoning upon the ignorance and
Of British statesmen, as in
former times, for securing good deals
any rate, of what they want In this we
believe they are mistaken. Formerly
they were contented with large slices of
territory, more than were justly due. The
ignorance Of English diplomatists made
this easy. Now, perhaps, grown bold by
success, they dream of taking all North
America as peace offering, and imagine
that all is necessary to do this is to kick
and swagger, as in the case of the Maine
boundary, and the thing will be done.
Like the soldier that drew his sword and
threatened dreadful things if he did not
get pair of boots at his own price, they
would be the readiest, after getting what
they wished, to reply to the inquiry about
what they would have done, supposing
they had been refused. Done Why !!
what could we have done? Done. with
out, to be sure! Exactly, and that will
be found to be the upshot of the whole
affair When the Americans have dis
covered that they can not secure anything
by bullying, they will either forget the
Alabama altogether, or will agree to
some equitable method Of settling the
claims
The Van Buren press., 1869-06-01


Our notice last week in the Love case,
which was before the Grand jury, have
been construed as rejecting on the U. S.
Commissioner that committed, from the
fact that the Grand Jury found no bill
against him. There were seven witnesses
that appeared before the Commissioner,
when the case was before him and the
evidence strong and positive against Mr..
Love. But since that time two Of the
witnesses have died, and why the District
attorney did not have the other Ave before
the Grand Jury we knew not; but con.
cluded that the evidence was not sufficient
to sustain the charge made against Love.
We make this statement that our remarks
last week may not be taken as reflection
on the action Of the U. S. Commissioner,
whom we believe to be conscientious,
honest, upright gentleman, and who in
the action he took in the case, done moth.
ing more than his duty and what the evi,
dence fully warranted.

Important to the Indians.

At the last term of the United States
District Court At this place, Judge CALp-
WELL made two rulings that are full OF
importance TO the people Of the Indian
country ard of the frontier. One that the
civil process Of this court can run into
the Indian country, in behalf Of the Uni
ted States and final process after judg-
ment in favor of private ltigants This
will admit of Indians and residents OF the
Indian country, being taken as bail in
criminal cases in the District Court, and
security on bonds to the United States.
The second ruling is, that the mere
possession of spirituous liquors in the
Indian country is prime .racia evidence
of its having been introduced by the
party in possession, and if unexplained
how possession was had, sufficient to
work conviction. Those who love their
" toddys" in the Indian country, must
now look out for informers' and Dep
uty United States Marshals, when they
choose to indulge their appetite in this

Completion of the Pacific Railroad.

This great enterprise, says the. Con
necticut Register, commenced less than
four years ago, has been pushed forward,
at an astonishing rate. The completion
of the Union and Central Pacific is now
accomplished. Such q work is an honor
alike to the nation by whose bounty it
was sustained and to the age in which we
live It's influence upon the United
States cannot well be over-e estimated.
The union Of these two roads, which the
public very properly regard as one, gives
a continuous line Of rails from New York
to San Francisco, a distance of over three
thousand miles.
AS we have said, the distance from
New York to San Francisco is over three
thousand miles, and the running time
less than seven days, as will be seen by

Mr.. Brady's Last Writing.

The following remarkable and beauti-
full passage is the last ever written by the
eminent James T. Brady, whose loss is
SO universally lamented. The passage is
very remarkable one, not only from its
oppressive sentiments, and the exquisite
beauty of its construction, but from the
suddcnness Of the taking away" of its
author:
"Our brothers in the pilgrimage will
fall at our side, but however thickly the
arrows of death may shower we can, while
our powers continue, do naught but
move on until we reach the awful instant,
when we are to exchange the feeble
pulses of transitory existence for the
ceascless throbbing ofeternal life. There,
even there, at that mysterious frontier, ii
we have been faithful and fearless on the
march, We may lie down obedient to des-
tiny. with the exalted hope that, after all
the objects Of this world shall have be-
come lost forever to our moral sight,
there may be unfolded to our new spir-
itual vision another realm Of unimaginable
glory, where we, and all whom we loved
on earth, may realize the promise which
the Great Ruler of the universe has made
unto the just"
