Morocco.

A London paper says: The rumor
of Mahomedan rising in Morocco,
and of a demand among the more fam
atical portion Of the population to be
led against the Christian enemies of
Turkey, will cause more general atten'
ton to be directed to that little known
country. The we'll known African ex-
plorer, Gerhardt Rohlfs, has oIpor-
tunely given, within the last few days.
in lecture at Augsburg, an account of
his sojourn in Moracco, where he re-
manned for four years. He had some
opportunities of studying the people
and country, being appointed physician
general to the whole Morocco army,
and physician inordinary to his m ajes.
ty the emperor himself. His principal
residence was the capital, Eek, bit he
travelled as far as the holy city of
Uesan, whose inhabitants claim to be
the direct descendants of the pro- het
Mahomed. His position gave him
special privileges, but he encountered
many difficulties and dangers through
the interior of the country, which he
describes in much more glowing terms
than apply to the inhabitants. The
country from the Mediterranean coast
to the wooded snow mountains Of the
Atlas is an uninterrupted garden,
studded with towns and the CAMPS Of
the Arabs and Berbers. The flora is
most varied and abundant, and the soil
most fertile. Under the conditions of
a more advanced civilization the coun.
try would develop resources on an IL
limitable extent; and its natural wealth
is such that, were its capabilities better
known it would even now attract the at
tention of those adventurous spirits
who, advancing primarily in their own
interests act as pioneers of civilization
and prosperity. Compared with the
beauty of the country generally, the
adjoining desert of the Sahara is
said to present even more desolate
features than when viewed without the
recollection, fresh in the trave'e r's
mind Of the loneliness of the fertile land.
The bases ofthe desert serve to enhance
the barren aspect to the Sahara, but
the bases themselves are poor compar-
ed with the richness of the Morocco
Empire. If the project of letting the
sea into the desert is ever carried out,
the country will, no doubt be better
known. Travellers, however, whether
for pleasure or profit, may do worse,
according to Gerhardt Rohlfs, than pay
visit to the land of the Moors.

The Calcutta wheat trade has had g.
rapid increase of late years. In 1870
the wheat exported was 1000 tons, in
1873, 10000 tons, and last year $4,000.
This year already 10000 tons have
been shipped. The wheat is grown
chiefly in the Punjah, and is much
valued in the English market, princi-
pally on account of it's dryness.

THE celebrated old Paris prison of
st. Pelagie is to be demolished. 1t was
built in 1865 as a convent for penitent
women and turned into a prison in
1890. Madame Beauharnois, after
ward the Empress Josaphene of Poland,
and Madame Roland were both incar-
cerAted there during the reign of ter
ror. The latter wrote her Memories
there before going to execution. In
der the restoration, the poet Beran-
ger was one of its inmates on account
of his audacious attacks on the mon
archy. Under the government of Louis
Philippe, Barbes was a prisoner there,
and during the Commune, Chandey,
who fell by the bullets of the Federal
lists, crying, "Vive la Republic ue! !"
