A resident of Brazil, who visited New
York, dropped into saloon to take a
glass of beer. While doing so met man
named Stanley, whose acquaintance he
had previously made in Long Branch.
They concluded to play game of bill
/ liards, and having finished it, Mr.. Oliver
the victim excused himself and said that
he must go to his friends house in
Brooklyn, where he was staying, to ar
range his luggage, as he was to leave for
South America the following day. What
happened after that time he was unable
to say he thinks he left the saloon, but
not until O'Clock in the evening, some
eight hours afterward, did he come to
his senses. Then he found himself
standing in IA street, which he could not
recognize rs one he had ever been in
before, and with II strange feeling in the
head, rs if he had bee. very sick. Stag
gering along as best he could, he at
length met two police officers, and from
them inquired the way. to Fulton Ferry.
The officers stared at him in surprise,
and asked him what he meant. Again
he repeated the question, and this time
one officer said to the other. He must
he crazy = and turning to him added,
Don't you know that You are IN Phila-
delphia p The information was so en-
tirely unexpected that it WAS some time
before Mr.. Oliver could comprehend the
situation sufficiently to give clear ac-
count of himself but when he had done
this the officers explained to him that he
had been the victim of "A conspiracy, and
on searching his pockets he found that
he had been robbed of more than $500,
and put on "A train leaving New York.
He can recollect nothing connected with
the affair. further than has been related.
IMMENSELY OF CREATION Some as
tronomers have computed that there are
no less than 75000,000 suns in the
universe The fixed stars are all suns,
and have. like our sun, numerous planets
revolving around them. The solar sys-
TEN, or that to which We belong, has
about thirty planets, primary and sec
ondary. belonging to it. The circul8r
field of space which it occupies is in the
diameter 5000, 100000 of miles, and
that which it controls is much greater.
That sun which is nearest neighbor to
ours is called Sirius. distant from our
sun y. UOO, 900, 600 of miles. Now If all
the fixed stars are as distant from each
other rs Sirius is from our sun, and if
the solar system be the average magni-
tude of all the systems of the 5000, coo
of suns, what imagination can grasp the
immensity of creation?
Every sun of the 75,0OO.U 900 controls

OUR FOREIGN TRADE Publications
have been made protesting to give the
report of Dr. Edward Young, Chief of
the Bureau of Statistics, on commerce
and navigation for the fiscal years 1870
and 1871, being the imports and exports
of merchandise, specie, and bullion. The
statements fail to include that part of
the report which gives this country credit
for the amount of foreign exports re-
exported, which makes it appear that the
imports exceeded the exports, or throws
the balance of trade against rs for 1870
to the amount of $40, SO, ,36l, instead of
only Sll, ,4l5,l 40, as is really the case.
BY some omission the balance of trade
would appear to be against MS for 1871,
the last fiscal year, to the extent of Sl53,-
656, $50. when in reality, giving the
credit due MS of re-exports, a balance OF
so, 39s appears IN our favor. This shows
an increase of trade i'll our favor over the
trade of 1870 of Sl1 ,426, 56s.

The Mystery Of Edwin brood.

Charles Collins in letter to friend
says The late Mr.. Dickens commune
Gated to me some general outlines foi
his scheme of Edwin brood, but ii
was ut very early stage III the develop
ment of the idea, and what he said bore
mainly upon the early portions of the
tale.
Edwin brood was Heref to r'e-oppeor,
he having been murdered by Jasper.
The girl Rosa not having been really ut
tached to Edwin was not to lament his
loss very long, and was, believe, to
admit the sailor, Mr.. Tartar. to supply
his place. 1t was intended that Jasper
himself should urge on the search after
Edwin brood and the pursuit of his
murderer, thus endeavoring to direct
suspicion from himself, the real murder
er. This Is Indicated in the design on
the right side of the cover, of the book,
which Mr.. Dickens assisted in design
ing, of the figures huTying mp the spiral
staircase, emblematical of a pursuit.
They are led ON by Jasper, who points
unconsciously to his own figure i'll the
drawing at the head of the title. The
female figure at the left of the cover
reading the placard Lost" is only in
tended to illustrate the doubt entertain
ed by Rosa Budd as to the fate of her
lover, brood. The group beneath it
indicates the acceptance of another
suitOr
As to say anything further it must be
purely correctional Itseems likely that
Rosa would marry Mr.. Tartar, and pos
sible that the same destiny might await
Mr.. Crisparkle and Helena Landless.
Young Landless himself was to die per
haps, and Jasper certainly would, though
whether by falling into the hands of
justice or by suicide, or through taking
an overdose of opium, which seems
most likely, it is impossible to say.

EdinbuPg.
We take pleasure in correcting an error
in our last issue, which we uhwittngl
'qade in regard to the town of Edinburg.
Since our issue, we have learned from a
citizen of that place that there are num-
Der of Springs within the corporate limits
also that Stony creek does OF run around,
but through the town We had no idea
that the corporate lines extended to such
magnificent distances" and what. we were
accustomed to regard only as a portion of
our good county, we are assured is more
of municipal character, and is really
embraced in the corporation limits. We
admit that if this little village Of 461
inhabitants ever becomes grown" it will
have number of springs in its 'built up
district" and when their municipal
authorities either dig, or appropriate
private wells for general use they will
have number Of public watering places.
Nor would we detract from the splendid
water facilities of Stony Creek for power
purposes, and must only express our sur
prise at the want Of enterprise and energy
in its cultivation and Improvement. Il
natural facilities will pot insure the
growth and prosperity ola place, certain
