| Ilulwcr on Hie Destruction of Je
UUSALEM.
A few weeks ago, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton.
I delivered a lecture in Lincoln, England, which
city he has for a number of years represented
in Parliament, on the early history of Eastern
nations. He gave an outline of the history of
the Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Egyptian
Greek, and Jewish nations, and closed with
the following powerful and dramatic descrip
tion of the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus
“Six years after the birth of onr Lord, Jn
dea and Samaria became a Roman province,
under subordinate governors, the most famous
of whom was Pontius Pilate. These gover
nors became so oppressive that the Jews broke
out into rebellion; and seventy years after

terror, as arc to be found in the history of
this siege. The city itself was rent by factions
at the deadliest war with each other—all the
elements of civil hatred had broke loose—the
streets were slippery with the blood of citi
zens—brother slew brother—the granaries
were set on fire—famine wasted those whom
the sword did not slay. In the midst of these
civil massacres, the Roman armies appeared
before the walls of Jerusalem. Then, for a
short time, the rival factions united against the
common foe; they were again the gallant
countrymen of David and Joshua—they sal
lied forth, and scattered the eagles of Rome.
But this triumph was brief; the ferocity of
the ill-fated Jews soon again wasted itself <
each other. And Titus marched on—encamp
ed his armies close by the walls—and from the
heighths the Roman general gazed with awe on
the strength and splendor of the city of Je
hovah.
Let us here pause—and take, ourselves, a
mournful glance at Jerusalem, as it then was.
The city was fortified by a triple wall, save on
one side, where it was protected by deep and
impassable ravines. These walls, of the most
solid masonry, were guarded by strong towers;
opposite to the loftiest of these towers, Titus
had encamped. From the height of that tower
the sentinels might have been seen stretched
below the whole of that fair territory of Judea
abont to pass from the countrymen of David.
Within these walls was tlic palnco of tlio kings
—its roof of cedar, its doors of the rarest mar
bles, its chambers filled with the costliest tapes
tries, and vessels of gold and silver. Groves
and gardens gleaming with fountains, adorned
with statues of bronze, divided the courts of
the palace itself. But high above all, upon

The Warm Mash.
It would be hard to match the following for
truthfulness to Irish character, and to the unfor
tunate experience of some who have had Irish
help. We are indebted for it to an eastern
correspondent
Patrick had been recently hired to do the
chores, but I was not altogether sure of his be
ing able to do all he promised. He boasted so
loudly of his universal knowledge of out of
door work, that I doubted of his knowing much
of anything. I said to him one day;
“Patrick, do you think I could trust you
to give the black filly a warm mash this even
ing ?”
Pat started for a minute or two without re
plying, and I repeated the question, when he
broke silence and said :
Is it a mash, sir V Shure and I’d like to
be plaziu’ yer honor any way that’s no lie.”
As he spoke, however, I fancied that I saw
slrange 6ort of puzzled expression flit across his
face.

Traits
ters of the city in wide-spreading conflagra
tions, and the efforts of the night-watch to
stein these out-bursts of fire, and with few
the appliances, and little perhaps of the dis
ciplinc of our modern police, were but imper
fectly effectual. But the greatest of all the
fires which desolated Borne was that which
broke out on the 10th of July, in the year of
817, the tenth of Nero, which began at the
eastern end of the Circus, abutting to the val
ley between the Palatine and the C.-elian hills.
Against the outer walls of this edifice leaned
a mass of wooden booths anckstorcs filled with
chiefly combustible articles. The wiud from
the east drove the flames towards the corner
of the Pa'atine. where they forked in two
directions, following the draught of the val
leys. At neither point were they encounter
ed by the massive masonry of halls or temples,
till they had gained such head that the mere
intensity of the heat crumbled brick nnd stone
like paper. The Circus itself was filled from
end to end with wooden galleries, along which
the fire coursed with a speed which defied all
check and pursuit. The flames shot up to the
heights adjacent, and swept the basements of
many noble structures on the Palatine aud
Avcntine. Again they plunged into the low
est levels of the city, the dense habitations and
narrow winding streets of the Velabruin and
Forum Boarium, till stopped by the river and
the walls. At the same time another torrent
rushed towards the Yelia and the Esquline,
and sucked up all the dwellings within its
reach, until it was finally arrested by the cliffs
beneath the gardens of .Mxcenas. Amidstthe
horror and confusion of the scene, tlic smoke,
the blaze, the din, and the scorching heat,
with half the population, bond and free, cast
loose and houseless into the streets, ruffians
were seen to thrust blazing brands into the
buildings, who afiirmed, when seized by the
indignant sufferers, that they were acting with
orders; and the crime, whiclr was probably
the desperate resource of the slaves aud rob
bers, was imputed by fierce suspicions to the
Government itself.”
As Old Foot City.—A recent American
traveler, when in Venice, expressed a curiosity
to know how the remarkable palaces of that city
were built, and on what foundation they stood.
When told that they stood on piles, he desired
to see the pile-driver. “There is a model of' it
in the Dodge’s Palace somewhere,” replied
the guide; “but it has not been used, for we
have had no house built in Venice for three hun
dred years.”
Tm: Fecundity of Flies.—The flies are
beginning to become numerous and trouble
some. Tlic streets aud the houses will soon
be full of them.—The ingenuity of man lias
otyct invented agents that can destroy them
as fast as they come. Nor is this to be wonder
ed, at, when it is known that from a single fly
more than two millions of these pests are pro
duced in one summer.
SIiad-JLife.
George Dawson, one of the ableeditors of the
Albany N. Y. Journal, is now on a fishing
jaunt in northern New York,whence very pleas
ant letters record his progress. In bis last, he
thus gives a confab among his companions in
regard to a theory in the fish line which is
somewhat startling, but which seems to be well
supported:
“Wild’s history and uses of seines, fikes
and driftnets, having introduced the subject of
shad, we had an animated discussion in regard
to the theory that no shad lives through a sec
ond season. This theory is a startling one,
but I believe it true. Edwards concurred with
me, although he admitted that he had never be
fore thought of it. The ground of his opinion
was experience. He is an old Susquehannah
raftsman, nnd tho introduction of the subject
reminded him that he Jiad very often noticed
the strange antics of shad in June and July on
their way to salt water. They would act as if
stunned or blind—shooting hither and thither,
iu eccentric circles, often upon the surface, and
always erratic. He remembered, also, that
thin as a Juno shad’ was an old raftsman
maxim, going to sustain the theory under de
bate, and confirming him in the opini in sug
gested, that shad never live to come back into
resh water the second time to spawn. ‘But,
said Wild, ‘how is it that shad vary so great
ly V ‘How greatly I’ Take any hundred
shad promiscuously from a-seine, and how
much will they vary ? One out of twenty-five
may be what you call ‘fat and plump,’ but
they will be so nearly alike that upon the
theory that they only live a year, a week or a
month, might make all the difference.’ ‘You
may be right,’ said Wild; the idea is new to
me. I know that I have often seen dead shad
in the river in July nnd August; and I have
taken young shad, not more than three inches in
length, as early as the middle of May. When
these ‘early birds’ return the next Spring to
spawn, they will naturally be larger than those
which, at the same time, were scarcely hatch
ed. Besides, if shad did return the second, or
third, or fourth year, we wight expect to find
them as varied in size as bass—ranging from
4 ounces to 30 pounds. But wo never do.
There is a uniformity in the size of shad which
justifies the theory; and you maybe right.’
And I believe I am right. One, at least, of the
most scientific piscators we have (as I notice
while writing) thinks so; and I doubt whether
any one has ever yet tasted a shad two years
old, caught in fresh water. If they succeed
in reaching salt water after spawning, they
may live to another season. But even this I
doubt.”
“When was Bomo built?”
“In the night, sir.”
“In the night!—how do you make that
out ?”
“Why, sir, you know ‘Rome was not built
in ft day.’"
