The Canadian TsEATY.-In the circulsr lately re-
ceived frem San Francisco, the remark ia made that
the abrogaticn in 1856 Of the Canadian Treaty Of
Reciprocity, forms q precedent for in like manner
making the Hawaiian Treaty imperative. The facts
will show, however, that the two cases are not anal
ogOus. The Treaty Of Reciprocity with Canada was
concluded June 5, 1854; notifications we're exchanged
Sept. .. 1854; the Treaty vas proclaimed Sept. II,
1854, and it was to remain in force ten years, after
which one years notice was to be given by either
party Of 8 desire for its abrogation. On the 18th Of
Nsrch. 1856, ten years and six months from the date
Of its proclamation, notice WAS given By the United
States government of the termination Of the Treaty,
which accordingly occurred on the 18th Of March.

A Materialized Hole.

Take q sheet of stiff writing paper
and fold it into tube an inch in diam
eter Apply it to the right eye and look
steadfastly through it, focusing the
eye on any convenient object; keep the
left eye open. Now place the left hand,
held palm upward, edgeways against
the side of the paper tube, and about
an inch or two above its lower end.
The astonishing effect will be produced
of hole, apparently of the size of the
cross section of the tube, made through
the left hand. This is the hole in which
we propose to materialize another small
er hole. As we need a genuine aper-
ture, and it would be incOnvenient to
make one in the left hand, let a sheet
of white paper be substituted therefor
and similarly held. Just at the part Of
the paper where the hole equaling in
diameter the oriice of the tube ap-
pears, make an opening inch in di-
ameter. Now stare intently into the
tube; and the second hole, defined by
its difference of illumination, will be
seen floating in the first hole, and yet
both will be transparent. The illusion,
for of course it is one OF those odd
pranks our binocular vision plays upon
us, is certainly one of the most curious
ever devised. Besides, here Is the ac-
tual hole clearly visible, and yet there
is no solid body to be seen to define its
edges. 1t is not mere spot of light,
because, if a page of print be regard
ed, the lines within the boundaries of
the little hole will not coincide at all
with those surrounding it and extend
ing to the edges of the large apparent
aperture. Each eye obviously trans
mits an entirely different impression to
the brain, and that organ, unable to
disentangle them, lands US in the pal
pable absurdity of a materialized hole.

had been engaged, said: "I'l tell you
how it was. You see, Bill and me went
down to the wharf to fish; and felt in
my pocket and found my knife, and it
was gone; and | said, BILL, you stole
my knife;' and he said l was another;
and | said, go there YOURSELF and he
said it was no such thing; and | said he
was liar, and could whip him if was
bigger'n him; and he said he'd rock me
to sleep, mother; and l said he was a
bigger one; and he said L never had the
measles and said for him to fork over
that knife, or I'd fix him for a tomb
stone at Cypress Hills; and he said my
grandmother was no gentleman; and |
said he dersn't take it up, but he did,
you bet; you never-well, you never
lid then | got up again; and he tried
to, but he didn't; and l grabbed him
and throwed him down on the top of
me like several bricks; and l tell you it
beat all-and so did he; and my little dog
got behind Bill and bit him ;andBill kick
ed at the dog, and the dog ran, and l
ran after the dog to fetch him back, and
| didn't catch him till l got clear home !;
and I'll whip him more yet. Is my eye
black?'
