ROWLAND HILL: Who can speak Alright of
the blessing included in the unsearchable rich
es of Christ That is a fine passage, "Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered
into the heart of man the things that God
hath prepared for them that love him." The
eye hath seen great things: ON a! fine night,
for instance, how much, and to what an i'm
mense distance, can the eye behold and with
those wonderful helps, telescopes, how much
farther can it penetrate and my thoughts can
penetrate farther than my eyes can see, or my
ears hear. But the eye cannot see all, nor the
ear hear all, nor the heart conceive all; Meth
er can we hear, or even conceive Alright of the
unsearchable riches of Christ. Oh, let us
mediate more on the great things which God
has laid up for those that love him.

A TELEGRAM in the London Times calls at
tention to the retribution which Russia is
suffering for her cruel treatment of the Jews.
Commerce and industry are suffering in an
unprecedented Degree" "foreign houses ex-
press SO much distrust that, as business men
on 'change remark, twenty or thirty tele-
grams have now to be exchanged with
| houses abroad before one transaction can be
carried on" The losses occasioned to Rus
STA by the riots are estimated at 81, 900 600,
and it is also calcula ted that since last Christ
mas $1,000 single men and 22S,0OO families
have left the country-in round numbers
something more than 100000 of the popu-
lation. The exodus, moreover, is not only a
financial loss to Russia, but it is raising such
grave economic difficulties in Galicia, where
most of the refugees 60. that both the Aus
trian and Hungarian governments are appeal
ing to the Russian government to grant its
Jewish population better protection. Tyr
amy evidently does not pay.
WHETHER the letter 81 has any rights which
Englishmen in this or any country are bound
to respect is an open question. The London
Phllogical society failed to settle it, and even
the revision of the New Testament has made
confusion worse COMPOUNDED. Mr.. B. Daw.
son has been microscopically exploring the
new book to see how the letter is killed OF
spared. And he finds that there is no con.
| sistency, every reviser seems to have had the
privilege of making it silent or giving it a
hearing as he pleased. From more than 1 SOC
passages collected for the purpose, he shows
that an half occurs eight times, half five
times; that hand is preceded by an seven
times, by mane forty. three, and my forty-nine
times; by thine ninety-seven, and thy forty.
three times; that the word heart is preceded
by an three, and By three times, by mine
thirty, and my fifty-two times, by thine fifty
two, and thy eighteen times. The only word
which never varies is an hundred. When the
article an precedes the letter h the h is silent;
so that we have now biblical authority for say
ing one undred for 100.
No astronomers from this country visited
Egypt to share In the observation Of the total
eclipse of the sun, the 18th of May last, which
was not visible ON our continent; but several
English, French ard italian gentlemen
among whom was DR.. Norman Lockyer, Of
England, went to Egypt to improve the op
portunity for scientific purposes. As might
be expected from the climate OF the country
where clouds seldom obscure the skies, the
day proved altogether favorable. A dispatch
from London states that the eclipse was sue
cessfully observed at Soham, in Upper Egypt
The spectroscopical and ocular observation
lust before and during the period of totally
gave valuable results, the darkening of the
lines observed by the French astronomers, in.
dlcating lunar atmosphere. The spectrum
of the corona was successfully photographed
for the first time. A comet was also discov
erea near the sun, and its position was pho
tographed. It will be two or three weeks be-
fore we shall have any full account of the OBJ
servations, and much longer time before the
scientific results are determined. On the 18th
of November next, another annular eclipse oil
the sun will occur; visible only in the Pacific
Ocean, and on the Goth of December, there
will be visible another transit of Venus.
THE way that the lately deceased and noted
| Garibaldi obtaiRed his Brazilian wife, was
more commonplace, not to say criminal, than
romantic; yet, his proceeding was
wild and irregular, if not in
strict accordance with the ideas
of strict moral rectitude that are supposed to
prevail, to some extent, among certain
class of Italians and Brazilians. Foreign
cabled accounts state that he was married to
Anita, in South America, and that he met her
| first under circumstances more prosaiac than
