Nile llo.i
aii.i: Boat "Fatima,” )
Upp*H Eqvpt, January, 1357. $
I write from my floating camp on the waters
of the Nile, between two and three hundreds
miles above Cairo.
Before leaving Cairo, we made an excursion
of a few miles to the Bite of the ancient City
ot Heliopolis. Of this “City of tho Sun,” the
On of Scripture, little now remains. The on
ly perfect monument is a large obelisk, cover
ed with hieroglyphics. It is a massive mono
lith of granite, brought from the quarries of
Sycnc, many hundred miles up the river, to
ornament the entrance to the Temple of the
Sun. The temple is all destroyed and its site
is buried deep under the accumulations of scil.
This single shaft only remains, standing un
moved on its original pedestal, where it has
resisted the storms and the. earthquakes and
the violence of man for more than 15,500 years.
Dim tradition not only attests this fact, hut the
clearly legible inscriptions contain the names
of Pharaohs who were cotemporary with Abra
ham.
Heliopolis was the ancient cradle of learning,
a sort of university city. Moses, who was
learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, was
probably educated here—hca the great Plator
studied, and many an ancient sage besides.
Jacob and his sons have looked upon this mon
ument, and perhaps beneath its very shadow
was the marriage of Joseph with the daughter
of the Princcof On. One other curiosity is to
he seen near the ruined city. It is an ancient
oriental sycamore under which the Holy Fami
ly arc said to have rested on their flight into
Egypt. The tree is unquestionably of great
age and is very picturesque, but it requires a
strong faith to ascribe to it an antiquitity of
more tlmnciglitccn centuries.
At an early morning hour the “Fatima" and
the “Zugra,” our floating homes, spread their
long lateen sails to a line strong northerly
wind and with a bright sky and favorable au
spices, commenced their long voyage up the
classical [river of Egypt. The stream runs
very swiftly, with a swirly, muddy current,
not unlike the “yellow waves” of the Tiber.
Wc stopped awhile at old Cairo, and took boat
over to the Island of Ilhoda to see the famous
Nilomctcr. It stands at the upper extremity
of tho island, within the garden of the palace
of the Pasha. It is simply an octagonal grad
uated column, standing in a well or pit, into
which the water of Nile has free access. The
shaft is divided into cubits of about twenty-two
inches, each being coarsely subdivided into
twenty-four parts. At the time of the inunda
tion the hight of the water as given on this
column is proclaimed in the streets of Cairo.
The extreme hight of the present floods is now
some six or seven feet above the capital of the
column, this measure being what the whole
valley and river bed are believed to have risen
by gradual depositions since the construction
of the Nilomctcr some thousand years ago.
All along upon our right as wc ascended lay
the mighty pyramids skirting the horizon, their
enormous outlines profiled on the sky. There
arc eight or ten of the larger size and numer
ous others of lesser dimensions. The whole
range extends for fifteen or twenty miles,

thousand miles above its mouth it receives no
affluent of any kind—not a rill, not a spring.
Its lonely waters move in silent majesty among
the ruins of mighty cities and the tombs of for
gotten generations. A long, narrow strip of
green, but a few miles in width, marks its
course through measureless deserts. The val
ley thus watered is one of astonishing fertility.
The soil is a deep black loom, the accumula
tion of successive overflows, and hears rich
crops of grain. Bare ridges of limestone, the
abrupt borders of the valley, look down upon
this high fertility, themselves unmarked by
tree or hush, or even a blade of grass. A
dense population once filled the valley of the
Nilc-a people great in arts and arms. The con
quered world brought its tribute here, and
Greece and Home sat as students at the feet
of its sages. How its wretched inhabitants
arc fast declining in numbers under the grind
ing oppression of the weak est and musttyranni-
calgovernmenton earth; and Egypt has realized
in fullest sense, the prophecy that “it shall be
the basest of kingdoms.”
All tho towns we have yet seen are miser
able little villages built cf mud or of sundried
brick, the successors of the floursliing cities
which stood here in the palmy days of Sesostris
and the Thothines. Of these old populous
cities all that remain to our eye are huge
mounds of earth covering the crumbling ruins
of brick walls and arches. They have literal
ly become “heaps;” and on these graves of
the mighty—long since passed away—the mod
ern Egyptians build their wretched hovels to

of excavated sepulchres. It was the favorite
necropolis of Egypt—“Memphis shall bury
them.”
Our visit to the pyramids is deferred until
our return. We saw the last sun of the year
go down into the great desert behind those
mysterious piles, which, unchanging as etern
ity, themselves have witnessed the ceaseless
changes of day and night, Summer and Win
ter, and the ilcctmg succession of races and
empires for the Jong period of four thousand
years.
But it is time that I introduced you to the
vessels in which I wish you to accompany me
in my passage up lbe river. The Fatima and
the Zugra (so they arc named from the light
of the harem of Hadji, our dragoman.) are of
the common form used on the Nile, small
enough to ascend the first cataract. The for
mer is, by measure, 75 feet in length and 14
in the beam. Imagine a particularly awkward
Eric Canal boat, very low in the how and very
high in the stern, with a little more than half
of her cabin removed. The remainder is di
vided by partitions into three comfortable state
rooms. A small kennel forward is the cook’s
caboose, where in a range made of mud, with
little holes for charcoal fires, he prepares
really excellent meal. The boat is rigged in
the felucca fashion, with lateen sails. A low,
stumpy mast near the bow inclining consider
ably forward, carries a tremendous yard as
long as the boat itself, to which is attached a
long tapering sail, running up obliquely to a
point. At the very stem of the boat is anoth
er hut smaller mast and sail. This rig is
clumsy to manage, but very graceful in ap
pearance. At a distance the pretty sails look
like the wings of sea birds. Besides the drago
man, cook and cabin boys, the crew consist of
thirteen mon. stout copper colored Arabs, with
a few ebony Nubians. The color of the latter
is the most intense degree of blackness—black
as Egypt. Dresses are most picturesque;
turbans, fez caps and flowing garments, with
as many colors as Joseph’s coat. Hadji, the
dragoman, is the best dressed man on board,
in or out of the cabin. His outer garment is
of fine cloth, very richly embroidered, and
lie sports a vest and turban of rainbow silk,
with long, gay fringe. Our crew are a viva
cious, merry set, whether at work or at rest,
always singing and laughing. A monotonous
chant necessarily accompanies all their labor.
At evening they while away the hours with
merry songs to the monotonous music of a tnm-
borine and Arab drum, and squatted together
in a circle. They are a queer set of fellows.
Although provided with a “reis” or nominal
captain, every one seems to work on his own
hook. On any sudden emergency, or indeed
on almost any trilling occasion, they all shout
and hallo together, ordering and screeching,
each one letting go his pole or rope that his
hands may be free for the necccssury violent
gesticulation. The boat meanwhile swings
down with the current, or bends over before
the sudden gust almost to the upsetting point,
until some one, by force of lungs, out-screams
the otJiers and forces the excited crew into
temporary order. The Arabic dialect is par-
ticulary fitted fot this use. It is sharp, angu
lar and explosive. The words seem to be bit
ten oil' and spit out with violence. Notwith
standing its angry sound it is in reality good-
humored enough, and expresses nothing more
than that strong excitement which in this coun
try must always precede any physical exertion.
Our men faro hard but arc well contented.
The hard deck is their couch of repose. Their
food is a coarse black bread stewed with on-
ious and garlic iuto a savory mess, and served
in wide wooden bowls, arouud which they
squat in a circle and dip up iiugc mouthfuUs
with their fingers. A kind of clover, fresh pul
led from the fields, they also greedily eat with
out dressing of auy kiud. They rarely get
uniinal food.
The Nile is a strange river. From its un
known source in the mysterious ceutre ot Afri
ca, to the far-distaut sea, it is unlike uuy other
on the face of the earth. It pours down the
waters of the Mountains of the Moon through
a long narrow valley, when for moro than a
Bricks dried in the sun, mud or reeds plast
ered with slime, form the wall of his hut, which
he covers over with rushes or cornstalks. In
these wretched little dens, scarcely larger than
a kennel, the degenerate Egyptian idles away
a useless existence, all bis wants supplied by
the teeming earth, his only' employment being
to crouch on the ground and smoke in the sun
shine.
Our voyaging hitherto has been very qiuet,
and without any remarkable incident. There
arc comparatively few antiquities on the lower
part of the river, and these it is customary to
defer visiting until the return. We take ad
vantage of every northerly wind to hasten our
progress against the rapid current of the river.
In default of wind we advance by “tracking,”
the men harnessing themselves to a long tow
line carried ashore. On these occasions we
enjoy long rambles along the shore, or excur
sions into the interior with the gnns. Birds
are very abundant, and of great varieties.
Hawks, eagles and vultures soar above our
heads, and frequently great flocks of noisy
wild geese. On the bars in the river large
flocks of different birds arc often seen sun
ning themselves together. Conspicuous a-
mong them arc huge pelicans sleeping sound
ly with their beads tiirown back and their huge
bills resting along their breasts. Then there
are ducks innumerable, and long legged herons
in solemn gray dresses, generally poised high
on a single .slender limb, looking as if they
were impaled on a lightning rod. Birds of
lesser size avo numerous in the grain flolds and
meadows. They fly around us fearlessly and
sometimes visit us one boats. Among them is
the English lark and our familiar mourning
dove.
The scenery along this pait of tho Nile is
somewhat monotonous. Green shores: per
fectly level, stretch out on either hand to a
total width of five or six miles. All this width
is highly cultivated. It is studded with little
mud villages, and noble groves of tho date
palm. Canals lead the Nile into the interior,
and rude machines raise its fertilizing waters
and send them glittering in & thousand little
channels all over the land. Low in the west
ern horizon is a chain of hills marking the
boundary of the great Lybian Desert. Much
nearer, on the opposite side, is a corresponding
line of cliffs which often intrudes upon the riv
er, and shuts down upon -the water in vertical
precipices. The rock is all limestone, of a
light chalky color, and the cliffs are from four
to five hundred feet high. They bring the
desert with them on their summits and around
their sides. The sands lie in broad, yellow
slopes in the ravines, and pour in glittering
showers over the verge of the rocks, lodging
in a Mining drifts on every ledge andprojectin
surface.
In this lazy sailing up the river, one day
floats by just like another, with the same bright
sun overhead, or the same clear moon, and
with the same cliffs, or verdant plains and
groves. Life degenerates into mere animal
existence, in which it is the highest happiness
simply to lice, to inhale the pure atmosphere’and
to enjoy the slowly gliding panorama, catin
voraciously, and sleeping long and soundly.
If we gain in health, I fear we lose sadly in
energy.
One of our principal amusements is to watch
the primitive customs of the strange people a-
mong whom wc are travelling. They appear
to have made no progress in civilization since
tho days of the flood. I have in a former let
ter described their machines for irrigating the
land, and how they dip up water in a basket
through which it runs like a scivc. The other
day I a saw primitive threshing machine at work
in the fields, which reminded me of Scripture
illustrations in our Sunday School books. It
is without doubt the same as those used in the
threshing floor of Aurauah the Jebusite some
thousand years ago. It is a kind of drag,
drawn around by oxen in a circle over a pile
of the grain. Several rude wheels in the ma
chine assist the feet of the oxen in stripping the
gram from its stalks.
In another place men were employed .in
beating out millet with short poles—not flails
—for instruments of that high complexity are
quite nbovc the Arab comprehension. After
threshing, the grain is separated from the chaff
(not from the dirt) by small hand seives. I
have seen in several places the mills employed
in reducing this mixture of dirt and grain to
flour. It consists of two thin stones fifteen to
eighteen inches in diameter. From the upper
projects a wooden handle, operated by a single
hand or perhaps more frequently by “ two
women grinding together.” I have often seen
them carry away the machines on their heads,
having stept into a neighbor’s to borrow her
grist mill. An invention which probably pre-
cecded the Deluge is very properly preserved
in the land of antiquities.
The ordinary navigation of this noble river
is of the most primitive kiud. It consists of
«mall boats of twenty or thirty tuns burden,
xvliose chief lading is wheat for transhipment
below. These boats are of the most clumsy
construction. When heavily loaded the gun-
whale is partly beneath the surface. To ex
clude the water the sides are built up with
rou iT h hoard and plastered on the outside with
mud By such rude conveyances the great
crop of this fertile valley finds its wav to tide.
What a vast saving of time and toil a little in
genuity and enterprise might effect. Lut en
terprise and ingenuity are at a low ebb in the
relaxing climate and among the barbarous in
habitants of Egypt.
On the evening of the twelfth day from
Cairo wc reched Osioot, the capital of Upper
E«'ypt, and one of the most considerable towns
upon the river. It is built of mud and contains
a population of 20,000. It is the custom ot
boats ascending to stop here a day or two for
the crews to “ make bread,” their principal
article of food. Wc inqitfoved the delay by
making a visit to the ancient cemetery, some
two miles hack from the river. It is an abrupt
limestone ridge, being a projecting point of the
Lybian chain, rising precipitously several
hundred feet. In the rocky cliffs of this moun
tain are innumerable excavations, the tombs of
the inhabitants of the ancient Lycopolis (city of
the wolves.) on whose ruins the present Osioot
is built. The Lycopolites were worshipers of
the sacred wolves, from which the city derives
its name. These ugly animals, after having
feasted on the fat of the land enjoy the adora
tion of their biped attendants, on their death
were preserved to posterity in fine linen and
spices, andnicelystored away among magnates
and princes in snug caves in the mountain ne
cropolis.
The greater part of the cliffs along the river
are more or less pierced with sepulchral exca
vations. This mountain is all honeycombed
with galleries of every form, size and position,
communicating and ramifying with- the great
est perplexity of plan. The greater part are
much obstructed by sand and broken frag
ments ; the former having drifted in by the
winds, and the latter being the rubbish of re
cent quarryings. Tho vandal Arabs finding
the tombs very convenient openings for quar
ries, have worked among the square pillars left
in the larger chambers, as well as most of the
accessible angles and partitions, whereby the
plan of many of the ancient perforations is very
difficult now to trace out, and others are en
tirely ehoaked by the accumulated debris.
Tncrc arc three or four very large excava
tions originally adorned with elaborate sculp
ture and painting. Some of the ceilings, cut
in the form of a flat vault, have been stuccoed
and painted in a kind of arabesque pattern
chiefly in blue color. In the side walls are
hieroglyphics arranged in vertical stripes, carv
ed in the smoothed face of the rock. They
are said to contain the names of some very an
cient kings. Several gigantic human figures
are sculptured among the hieroglyphics on each
side of one of the door-ways. In onotomb is a
procession of warriors bearing long spears and
enormous shields. In the floors of these larg
er chambers are several deep pits, four by ten
feet, descending vertically a great depth, for
there was always rubbish at the bottom, hut
some were clear for fifteen to twenty feet. In
many of the lesser tombs are smaller pits, and
it is clear that they were the true places of de
positing the dead.
■ The debris about the mouths of the caves is
filled with human remains; mummies that have
been torn from their resting places, which affec
tion fondly thought eternal, and scattered
about, here a head and there a limb, half de
prived of their swathing. Fragments of bones
and bits of fine twined linen of Egypt were
strewn all over the face of the hill. Among
them we found the heads of several of the mum
mied wolves, with the bandages still adher
ing. It was the first we had seen of the
hominations of Egypt.”
From the summit of the mountain cemetry,
an elevation of about five hundred feet, we lmd
a most noble prospect. The town of Osioot Jay
below us in the valley, its compact cluster of
mudbuilt houses surmounted by fifteen or
twenty slender'white minarets. Close to the
base of the rocks lies the modern ccmetry,
quite a little city of itself, of small domes and
white-washed walls. On our way out we had
met several funeral groups returning from this
place. They consisted chiefly of women,
chanting as they walked, a shrill wailing son_
Some of them had mire on their heads aud
smeared on their garments.
Oar prospect comprised a long view up and
down the Nile, and across to the Arabian desert
and mountains on the east—contrasted with
the bare calcareous rocks on which wc stood,
and on which there appeared not the least sign
of vegetation and equally lifeless waste oppos
ed to us, the vivid verdure of the fertile valley
showed itself with the most striking distinct
ness. Clothed with the rich tint of fresh
springing grain the level plain lay unrolled
like a long emerald carpet, seamed with
the silvery windings of tho river. Hero and
there were clumps of acacias, or waving groves
of palm trees, generally shading compact little
villages. The valley is six or eight miles in
width, and tho eye ranges up and down its
rich prospective, an almost interminable dis
tance. But, “right about face,” and what a
change! An undulating surface of rocky
waste—treeless, waterless, uninhabited and
uninhabitable. Wc made an excursion of a
few miles over the bare hills. In the hollows
of the dry ravines were evidences of such angel
visits as an occasional rain; yet no smile of wel
come is returned by the ungrateful earth. Not
a flower, not a moss, not a blade of grass ack
nowledges the benediction. And hundreds
and hundreds of miles away, with the cxcep-
of a few oases which are bat specks in the great
ocean, extends this dry and thirsty land, smit
ten by Heaven and blasted with a curse. The
traveler shudders to encounter its horrid waste.
The whirlwind walks over it with its moving
column of sand, and the hot simoon with its
poisonous breath. Woe to the caravan en
countered by these destroying angels.
The rock is all limestone of a light yellow
color. The higher strata arc soft and chalky
and filled with nodules of iliut. These nodules
arc of great size and usually of a spherical form.
By the wasting away of tho yielding materials
in which they arc imbedded, the masses are
detached and left covering tho surface. Whole
acres in places were closely packed by masses
of black flint, round as bomb shells, from one
to two feet in diameter. They all show their
concretionary formation, scaling off in layers,
or exhibiting concentric lines in the sections.
They are exceedingly hard and ring like metal.
We found some deposits of soft alabaster, white
as snow, aud crumbling to powder under the
foot. Also extensive strata of chrystalizcd
carbonate of lime in beautiful radiating groups.
The flint contains some interesting fossils.
In descending another part of the mountain
wo found its face still honey-combed with an
cient tombs. They arc plain, however, with
out hieroglyphics. Where not half filled with
rubbish they usually show the mummy pits.
Recent quarrying has made wholesale destruc
tion among these resting-uiaces of past gener
ations. What an infinite amount of labor was
taken in those early days in preparing the
habitations of the dead. This cemetery is but
one of many hundreds with which the whole
land ot Egypt is fiilled: It is emphatically a
land of sepulchres—“ all alive with dead.”
How much force was there in the expression
of the Israelites to their leader, “Was it because
there are no graves in Pgypt that thou hast
brought us out here to die in this wilderness]’
Wc elbowed our way through the narrow
and dirty streets of Osioot, admiring the pic
turesque costumes of its swarmiug population,
aud ourselves a still greater object of attrac
tion to a crowd th .t followed us with curious
eyes wherever wc moved. The bazaars are
like those of Cairo. They are covered over,
ind are dusty and stifling. I looked into a
Turkish bathing establishment where numbers
were enjoying the oriental luxuries of scalding
water, hookas and divans. It was not particu
larly clean, aud the suffocating vapors remind
ed me uupleasnatly of the “ Stufa de Negro.”
The bathing apartments were handsomely
paved with marble, and had their domed ccii-
_ pierced with numerous small apertures
like the old moorish baths iu Spain.
The Winter climate of Egypt is delightful,
thought not so warm as I expected to find it.
The average of the thermometer with us since
we have been afloat has been but little above
GO deg, the highest being 72 deg, and the low
est 41 deg. The sky is unusually cloudless,
the air fresh and invorating. Mornings are
cool, and the sun hot at noonday. Wc shall
soon encounter a warmer atmosphere, as in. our
southerly progress we are meeting also the ad
vancing sun. Weenterod the tropics just south
of the first cataract. Strange to say, we have
had rain in Egypt on moro than one occasion.
The last followed a sirocco, which blew strong
ly for a few hours from the south, filling the
whole air with gray dust. These winds, dan
gerous upon the desert, are much modified in
the cooler Yalley of the Nile.
The Folly or Legislating against
TIIE POPULAR SENTIMENT.
InPrescott’s “Robertson’s Charles V.,” first
volume, page 65, wc find some comments up
on the future efforts of the kings aud poten
tates of Europe to abolish the trial by battle,
accompanied by the following general but most
emphatic and important remark:
“ No custom, how absurd soever it may he,
if it has subsisted long, or derived its source
from the manners and prejudices of the age in
which it prevails, was ever abolished by the
hare promulgation of laws and statutes. The
sentiments of the people must change, or some
new power sufficient to counteract the preva
lent custom, must be introduced.”
More than once we have endeavored to pre
sent this idea to modern reformers, and espe
cially to those who have been struggling to
enforce total abstinence from intoxicating
liquors by means of stringent prohibitory en
actments. More than a score of times we have
reiterated the declaration that a prohibitory
law cannot prevail against the drinking custom
of society, while the people arc recognized as
the source of power. A standing army, deri
ving its authority and support from a govern
ment wholly independent of the people, might
first enslave the people, and then enforce the
law.—Providence Post.

FIN D L A V,
Partisan History.
A King of France, after a battle in which
he was wounded, called his Generals to his
bedside to hear what had occurred after he
had left the field; and as no two could agree
in any ouc statement, the King struck with
the difficulty, exclaimed, “What, then, is liis
tory?’ “Give mo my liar,” said Charles V.
when he called for a volume of history; and
certainly no one can attentively examine any
one important period of our annals without
remarking that almost every incident admits
of two handles, almost every character of two
interpretations; also, that, by a judicious
packing of facts, the historian may make his
picture assume nearly what form he pleases
without any direct violation of the truth.
But does uot history teem with falsehood
and perversions ? Take two instances in the
history of England, as now taught in our‘
schools. We are positively told that Joan of
Arc was burnt by the English in 1431; when
it lias been incontrovertibly established, by
ancient archives of that city, that on the first
of August, 1431), the counsel of the city Rouen
made her a gift of 210 Iivres, for services ren
dered by her at the siege of the said city ‘
So that the burning of Joan is a myth, invent
edby the French to blacken the English char
actor, and transferred to our history as a fact
by those authors who too credulously relied on
French chroniclers.
Again, Richard IH has been held up to uni
versal execration as a crooked backed monster:
whereas Stow, who was horn forty years after
Richard’s death, and who had conversed with
many who had seen the King, declares “that
he could find no such deformity in King Rich
ard III as his historians commonly relate; on
the contrary, he was of bodily shape comely
enough, only of low statue.” In fact all re
search has proved that Richard was neither
that deformed person nor that monster of cru
elty and impiety which has been represented
by our so-called historians. No character in
English history has been more misrepresent
ed ; aud, could the shade of the last Planta-
enet rise from its grave, it would blush to
find the name of Richard III in the same books
as those of the Stuarts and George IV. But
success often lays the foundation of a good
reputation with posterity.—Exchange.
The Steamer Niagara.
The Niagara made her trial trip on Friday,
which was in all respects a most successful
and satisfactory one. She left for England
with every prospect of making a rapid run
and wc believe will prove herself to be the
finest ship in the Navy if not in the world, as
she is one of the largest. We have hereto
fore given a full description of this magnifi
cent specimen of naval architecture, as one of
tho last aud best efforts of the lamented Steers
It is only necessary to add that she has a pres
ent force of 500 men, but her full complement
for war purposes is 750. Her length is 345
feet, breadth of beam 55 feet, depth of hold
31J feet, aud measurement 5,800 tons. She
will carry when fully armed, twelve Dahl-
green guns of 11 inches bore, throwing a shell
of 130 pounds. The weight of the guns is 14
tons each.—News.
Cotton NlaiiuTactiircs.
Tho committee of the Boston trade on the
sale of cotton manufactures, report that it ap
pears by a careful estimate that the capital
stock of the cotton manufacturing companies
whose head quarters are in Boston is $39,G30,-
000, and that the annual sales of cotton goods
produced by these companies amount to $32,-
450,000; aud they estimate the sales of cotton
goods made by twenty-six commission houses
in Boston (exclusive of the above,) at $14,-
250,000 ; making a total of $4G,700,000.
Thus, by her own statement, is the New
England metropolis of treason dependent upon
the South for the profitable employment of
nearly forty millions of her capital. That
capital, so invested, must give bread to at
least one hundred thousand operatives. Abol
ish slavery, and what would become of Bos
ton’s prosperity—how would these operatives
utterly dependant upon daily labor for support,
be fed ? Yes, abolish slavery, aud those for
ty millions would not represent one million of
dollars in value. Were the New England
fanatics to succeed in their emancipation pro
jects, silence and starvation would brood in
the streets of her cities. Fortunately for them
the ago of common sense has not passed, nor
is the age of chimeras fully iuaugurated—Mis-
sissippinn.
Thk Force of Powder.—On Friday af
ternoon the workmen engaged in the excava
tion of stone at Quarry ville, Ct., had a tremen
dous blast. Instead of drilling holes they
found a large fissure, into which they poured
1500 pounds of powder, and then stopped up
the curve. When the train was tired, at least
3000 tons of roek were removed, 1000 tons be
ing thrown 25 to 100 rods distant. One solid
mass of rock, weighing at least 50 tons, was
thrown a distance of 30 rods. Fences in the
vicinity were completely destroyed, aud the
tops of trees were takeu off as clean as if done
by the axe.
There is in this world a government complete,
so l'ar as it goes, but not consummated. It is com
plete in tliis sense, that it is iu exact adaptation to
the character of man; hut the character of man,
and the Divine administration in its reference toil,
alike point toau ulterior conclusion, towards which
all things tend. We see the process begun but not
ended—the progress but not the termination ; aud
we expect at the close of the passage of life, to
find a throne of judgment set, and au impartial
udge seated upon it.—Me Cosh.
