Curiosities.
We have been digging up some historic
matters which will interest young readers,
and they may not be unacceptable to
elder ones. Many expressions are used
by our speakers and writer's which are not
well understood. For instance "The
Nine Worthless" These were Hector,
Alexander and Cesar,-all Gentiles-
Joshua, David and Judas Maccabeus--
all Jews--King Arthur, Charlemagne and
Godfrey Of the French province Of Bouil-
lon-all Christians. Three of each.
Again, ...The Seven Wonders of the
World y Pyramids of Egypt, the Pharos
Of Alexandria Ia light house), the hang.
ing gardens OF Babylon, the Temple Of
Diana at Ephcsus, the tomb Of Artemisia,
the Colossus Of Rhodes and the Statue oil
Jupiter.
Again: "The Seven Wise men OF
Greece:" Scion, Chic, Pittacus, Bias,
Fernandez, Cleobulus and Thales.
Their terse. wise sayings as inscribed in
the Delphian temple were, beginning with
Solon) "Know myself; !" Consider the
end : "Know thy opportunity; "Mos,
men are bad - "Nothing is impossible to
industry !" Avoid excess !" 'Suretyship
is the precursor Of ruin" The "Dagon''
of Scripture was Syrian idol with the
face and hands of man, finished with
the tail of fish.
'.The three wise men of Gotham" were
said, by Irving, to be Of New York, the
modern buriesque name for that great
city. Gotham was an English village
noted for the stupidity of its inhabitants
Ancient nonsense has it-and we are
writing only nonsense just now-that
three of the wise men Of Gotham went to
sea in bowl during the reign of Henry
With. Many English wits have spent
ink and time in ridiculing the simplicity
of the citizens of Gotham. Irving, Pauld-
ing and other American writer's sarcasmed
New York by literary application of the
name.
Gabriel means, in Hebrew, "the mighty
one of God" He is regarded as one of
the seven archangels.
Mason 4 Dixon's line is the southern
boundary Of Pennsylvania, latitude 80,
43, &c. Chas. Mason and Jeremiah Dix
on, English surveyors, ran this line in
l763-l767. 1t was the boundary line,
then, between free and slave territory.
Charles I'd, of England, was called the
"Merry Monarch" Mormon this chap
was the last ola pretended line of Hebrew
prophets, tabled to have emigratcd to
America 600 years before Christ. He
was said to be descendant of Joseph.
10. SMITH, the Mormon prophet, claimed
to have the "Book of Mormon" in his
possession, and simpletops have ever since
been adherents of the nonsense. Solo
mon Spalding was the real author of the
work upon which Smith established his
licentious balderdash.
"The Railway King" Of the world, was
George Hudson, Of York, England. He
feared nothing in speculation won in one
day half million ruined those who
followed him, and finally died poor!

We are not frenchman, but we
understand this to mean Bad Lands. Gen.
Sully explored it, with his division of
Indian killers-scarers, rather-some
years ago. Our Fayette Co., friend, who
was with Sully, wrote US an interesting
account of the appearance of things out
there. Our friend and correspondent was
no less gentleman than "Maj. JONES' of
the 9th Tor 7th p Iowa Cavalry. He de-
scribed the country as basin of petrifac>
tions, and sent US several specimens of
stone cedar. &c., which we gave to Doctor
Andres.
This country, or basin was named by
SULLr, "Hell with the fires out" We had
conversation with the General some
months after at the Newhall House, Mil.
waukee, and he confirmed all we heard
through maj. Jones'" So much for pre-.
face.
These bad lands-no vegetation except
petri6ed plants, stumps, shells and remains
OF animals-a are on the waters Of the
Yellowstone, an affluent of the Missouri,

Yesterday, during the recess Of the
Senate and House Of Representatives,
Mr.. R. 3. Cheatham, the joint Repre-
sentative from the counties Of David
son, Robertson, Montgomery end
Cheatham, collected the members of
the two Houses, the Governor and
other State officers together in the
Hall of the House Of RepFezen tatives,
and, after calling them to order, in-
formed them that there was a little
unfinished business on hand which
must be disposed of. He told them
that the time for discussion had pass
ed and time for action had arrived.
He therefore moved the previous
question, declared it seconded and
sustained. Immediately the doors Of
several Of the COMMITTEES Rooms were
thrown open, and broad tables were
beheld grOaning under the weight Of
nearly every conceivable brand Of
Champagne and CaIawba, interspersed
with numerous boxes Of the best
brands Of cigars. Upon the window
curtains were fastened notices,
"LET's HAVE PEACE"
Wit and wine flowed; grim jokes
and pleasant repartee. 1t was alto
gether Informal, but all the more
agreeable ior that. One enthusiastic
member said ne had, up &c this time,
been very much in faVOr of a short
session, but he now felt willing for
the Legislature TO sit as long as the
long parliament, provided Dick
Cheatham would preside. 1t was a

NEW YORK, March 6.-Ihe World
has an extraordinary sensation in It's
Paris letter Of February 2lst, publish
ed to-day. According 10 the gossip OF
French saloons, the Emperor Napo-
leon died on the 9th Of September last,
under the knife of Surgeon Ricord,
and in his place there reigns the
Prince Imperial, as Napoleon ",
with the Empress Eugene as
Regent. The story runs that a near
relative of the Emperor, though not
in the line of succession, and bearing
close resemblance, appears in the place
of NAPOLEON on the few occasions
which he appeared in public. The
correspondent says the plan origi-
mated with the late Emperor, who
feared European complications, and
that before his death he received a
promise from England, and it Is be-
fieved from Russia, that they would
assist in maintaining the Prince on
the throne. The letter gives various
reasons for crediting the story and
says it explains the recent remarkable
change of the policy Oh the part OF the
French Government. Nevertheless,
1t appears very ike an easily con-
structed canard,
