village, en- this stage there are five
cataracts, two of which at least are
inaccessible. We spent two days in
visiting the foot and summit of the
Fall, aud descended 10 the settle
ment, leaving Messrs. Brown and
King to complete the survey and
sketches Of the country in four days
and a half. We expect our com
panions by the steamer on the first
Of August, when this imperfect rec
ord will be supplemented We had
fine weather, and suffered nothing
from the climate or from fatigue, for
which we are indebted mainl, to Mr..
Browns foresight and ability"
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. King remained
at the Fall two days after the de-
parture of Sir George Young and Mr..
Mitchell, making sketches OF the
Fall and observation of the width,
and velocity OF the steam above. On
carefully working out the mean re-
suit Of five separate observations TAX
en- simultaneously at the top and
bottom Of the Fall, Mr.. Brown found
that they gave the total height Of the
perpendicular Fall and cataract as
S17 feet. The depth OF the cataract
was subsequently taken at the edge
of the pool OH the western side, by
and eroid barometer ut being impos-
s,bly to carry large barometer 10

81 feet, making the height Of the
perpendicular Fall 736 feet. The
width Of the river 200 yards above
the Fall was 1874 yards, and It's great
est depth ID feet inches, 5 feet less
than at high water. On the morning
of the 2lst of July, Mr.. Brown and
Mr.. King started on their return, but
at the mouth Of the Curiebrong riv-

Marvcls Of IucAWry.

History often relates marvels to
which it is difficult to accord belief.
OF this class, we think are the fol-
lowing.
Cyrus knew the name of each sol.
dier in his army. It is also related
of Themistocles that he could call by
hamc every citizen OF Athens, al
though the number amounted to 90
600. Mithridatcs, King OF Pontus,
knew all his $4,000 soldiers by their
names. Scipio knew all the inhabi-
tants of Rome. Seneca complained
of old age aecause he could not, as
formerly, repeat two thousand names
III the order in which they were read
to him; and he stated that on. one
occasion, when at his studies, two
hundred unconnected verses having
been recited by the different pupils
ofhis prcceptor, he repeated them in
q reversed order, proceeding from
the first to the last.
Lord Grinelle could repeat, from
beginning to end, the New Testa-
ment in the original Greek. Cook,
the tragedian, is said to have commit.
ted to memory all the contents of a
large daily newspaper. Racine
could reclte all the tragedies OF Eu-
riped.s.
1t is SAID that George III. never
forgot face he had once seen nor a
name he had ever heard. Mirandola
would commit to memory the con
tents Of book by reading it three
times, and could frequently repeat
the. words backward as well of tor
ward. Thomas Cranner committed
to memory in three months an entire
translation of tie Bible. Euler, the
mathematician. could repeat the Eu-
cid; and Leibnilz, when an old man
could recite the whole OF Virgil
word for word.
1t is said that Bessuet, could re
peat not only the whole Bible, bu,
all OF Homer, Virgil, and Horace, be
sides many other works.

When 4 r1c,,l to Marry.
Jous .. SAKE

When do mean to marry?-well-
sTis idle to dispute with fate;
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while fix the dat..
When daughters haste with eager feet,
4 mothers daily tolls to share;
Can make the pudding which they eat.
Aud mend the stockings which they wear
When maidens look upon man
As in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan
4 sutler or commissary.
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer Of lovers hand,
Consent to share his 'searthly lot"
And 10 not mean his lot Of land.
When young mechanics are allowed
TO find and we'd the farmers girls,
Who DO Mt expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamo ds and pearls.
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses
And live as they were wont to live,
Within their sires one-story houses.
Then. madam. I'm not too old
Rejoice to quit this lonely life,
Ill brush my beaver, cease to scold,
Aud look about me for wife.

FIGHTING ON PApER.-About a
year ago France and Prussia were
waging hypothetical war in their
newspapers, and a writer in the
Spectateur Militaire said that when
the crash should come 'the northern
frontier of Franch would be ably
defended; part OF the active army
would embark at Brest and Cher
bourg, ostensibly tor an expedition
against kiel or Dantzic. but would
in reality go southwark, passing the
straits, OF Gibralter. take up with
part OF another active army, aud then
land at Genoa or Trieste. If the
Sorth German States should form an
alliance with France. the Danube
was to be gained at Ra,isbon, Pas
sau or Linz, from which point the
united army would march through
Tyrol and Bavaria to the Main. y
The writer fully believed that Aus
tria would side with France, and
that the army would march from
Trieste to Vienna or Presburg,
thence along the March through
Morayia to Silesia, avoiding the
Rhine, the Wesser and the E!be.-
A great battle was to be fought
somewhere between Dresten, Baut-
zen and Bresiau: the road to Berlin
would be cleared, ''and the peace Of
the world assured" Apparently
Prussia was to have nothing to say in
the matter; but now that 1.-THE crash"
has come, the Spectator M.lltaire
will have to revise materially its
opinion and prophesy thus given.

WANTED TO BACK OUT.-Not
many days ago young man called
at the office OF a popular East Side
Justice, gave the Justice marriage
papers. and said he would call with
his chosen young lady at certain
hour Of that day and be married. He
called at the hour appointed, accom-
panied by the adured one, and lit
tie girl OF II years. The adored one
bore the name OF Ellen, and the
adorer, the gospel name Of Samuel,
and when it came time for the final
w.rds and ceremonies, Ellen inform
ed Samuel that she had not iull made
up her mind to marry him. Samuel
cited the tact that her father had con-
|,sented, and that her mother did not
object Ellen admitted that all
was true, but hesitatingly remarked:
ats not their tuneral-I am the one

She at last give her objections. She
was afraid Samue. could not make a

for advice. His Honor would give
no advice in such An important mat

which was Right.

A party Of grammarians in q Gin
cinnati restaurant were arguing for
an hour oSer the. question. rs it
right to say six and seven is eleven,
or six and seven are clcycn:" Some
were certain Is was the proper term
to employ ION the principle, perhaps,
that whatever is is right,) while 9th
ers were equally strenuous that are
was the right word.
'.Do you mean to say, sir,' said
one distinguished granmarian, very
much excited, to another distinguish
cd grammarian, that SIX and seven
are eleveE?"
1T are," replied the other, equally
excited.
Much confusion ensred, and it was
feared that a collision would ensue
between the distinguished gramma-
rldns. In tact, after coWngrting each
other pretty sharply and working
themselves up to the superlatire de-
gree Of wrathful mood, they did make
few parses at each others heads. In
the present tense OF affairs it was
agreed to leave the question tothe de-
cision OF the Teutonic gentleman who
brought the lager. Said one OF
them
"Hans, which is right, to say six
and seven is eleven; or six and seven
are cleyen!'

a SrRIK1Na PICTURE. In the Reform
Convention, in the course of his admi-
rable speech, Gen. Butler said:
Now what are the issues before usp
On the one side We see long, dark line;
on the other an array of pale faces, in
hostile antagonism, while all around us
are political vultures, Tapping their
wings and gorging themselves upon the
oarcasses that fall beneath their blows.
That, sir, is the picture, and no man in
South Carolina can deny it."
The same speaker remarked:
1--WE must adapt ourselves to circum-
stances, and the circumstances which
exist impel you and me to course of
action which, in certain degree, makes
us turn our backs upon the past We
have to grapple with events, and recog-
nizc things as they are. No man has
right to violate the law, unless he de-
termines upon revolution, and that is
the fundamental principle which under
lies this platform. It sets forth that such
and such acts have been passed, and are
the laws of the land, consequently, that
it is our duty, as citizens, to recognize
and obey them in good faith, truth and
sincerity"

Tho Fresh New Englund Idol.

Z.
The Ricbmugd Dispatch, referring to
the introduction of Cinnamon into New
England, says: =
$50: the negro has been praised--so he
has been exalted above the white man
and 80 he has been used. And yet, when
they wanted to overcome the white Jour
neyman shoemaker, they came not here
to procure the admired negro to help
them, but went 2, 900 miles farther after
the Chinaman, agreeing to pack him up
when he dies, and send him back to
China to be buried. He is so cheap, so
willing, SO quiet, and don't give trouble
making shoes and living in little
box. Oh, Incompatible Chinaman! |!
we are sure,' they add, he is more
useful than the negro!'
".And this is the latest little game of
New England. They are introducing
into the land new element for the deg
radiation of labor, and by and by they
will shove it off upon us of the South,
and raise q new hue md cry against
Southern cruelty to the laborer-another
mourning outburst for the poor slave in
chains and misery, hoeing with his slit
ears and back plaided with the scars
made by New England cow-hides.
Sincerely We trust that check may
be put upon the importation of China
men into New England. We know they
will spread from that pandora's box Of
evils; and Whatever New England may
say of the Chinese, comparing them
with the white race to its disadvantage,
we know it is not true. A more filthy,
obscene, lying race of mankind lives not
upon the globe; and labor, the vital
source of the greatest power of the body
polite, cannot be more degraded by any
other race on earth. We want labor in
the hands of the best type of man, and
and none other; and we trust this little
game of avarice may be soon ended"
