tion of the Grand Jury, while the owner of the
house is severely censured for not providing it with
the necessary fire escape.—A dwelling in Hudson,

BY THE ATLANTIC CABLE
Deaember I.7ch.—Lonclon.—The Times devotes a
leading article to American finances, and strongly
objects to the financial plan prepared by Secretary
14IcCtiHoch as involving an offer to exchange six
per cent. bonds for five, and as violative of the 'ax
iom that local taxation should be met by local
means. The Times thinks the Secretary's plans
simply substitute new evils for old.—An inquest
w is held to-day on the bodies of the persons killed
by the attempt to blow up the wall of Clerkenwell
Prison. A . large number of witnesses were exam
ined, but nothing satisfactory was elicited as to the
perpetrators of that crime.—Rumors have reached
here from Vienna that a change in the Austrian
Ministry is impending, and that Count Von Taaffe
is to form a new Cabinet. The report needs confir
mation.—The last despatch receNed..from l±elasso
wall- reports that the British expeditionary force in
Abyssinia had reached a place called Senape, where
there was abundance of water, and the natives were
friendly.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26,
_1867.
BY CUBA CABLE.
December 17th.—Havana.—Advices from St.
Thomas, says, that up to the 17th inst., 500 shocks
of earthquake have been felt. Divers were busily
at work ,in the bay, and 200 packages were daily
raised from the wreck of the stemper Colombian.
Business was generally resumed, arid no more fail
ures are reported. Rents of corner lots were great
ly increasing. -
FOREIGN.
England.—Among recent "strikes" is a strike of
Queen Victoria against the London butchers. She
refuses to pay them for her establishment the large
I priced they have been exacting. This course, which
was taken to benefit the poor, has already, it is
I said, produed a perceptible reduction in, the-price of
meats in the markets of England,—The photograph-
I era have invented a method of printing from a neg
ative impression upon oil canvass. This improve
ment will enable the artist to transfer exact outlines
of a picture without drawing.
Murderers in England are reported to be, in
; proportion to the whole_ population, one in every
675,000; in Holland, one in 163,000; . in the North
' German Bund, one In 100,000 ; in Austria one in
77,000 > in Spain, one in 4,000; and in the Papal
;
States,. one in, 750.
Garibaldi.—The London Advertiser prints a letter
from a lady of Florence, who vouches for Garibal
di's Christianity. A clergyman of the ChurCit, of
Egland, it semis, is of that, although some
; times, " when he was tired at, night," 'the General
I-may have put his hand thoughtlessly to some com
promising assertions; he is one 'of the truest Chris.
tutne living.
Ilenmark.—King Christian of ,Denmark litui is
inked a proClainatioa announcing the cession. of . St.
Thomas to the United States. There is ar circum
stantial report from Havana, that Spain hail offer
:ed to-sell Cuba for $150,000,000 in gold ; whereupon,
the N. Y. Tribune indignantly lets' off the following.:
'-How much d,oes King Theodore want for Abysm
!
nia ? Is not Lapland for sale?- Can't We manage
to buy a tract of Greenland?" But Cubais well
word our buying.
Australia.—Tall Trees.—W e are in the habit of
; priding ourselves On the possession of the largest
trees in the world, but recent researches in Austra
lia have shown that, althongh the.thicknelp of our
, California giants may not be equalled, their height
1 is considerably exceeded by a species of Pucalyptus,a
! vegetable form characteristic of Australia, ,Speci
mens•of various heights have been measured, and
the tallest actually subjected to this test gave all
titude of 480 feet; but another, having a circumfer
; ence of 81 feet at a height of four feet from the
ground, was estimated to be over 500 feet high. The
tallest spire in Europe, the Munster of Strasburg. is
466 feet high ; the great pyramid of. Cheops is 480
feet ; both exceeded by these Australian trees.
The Eucalyptus tribe of Australian trees embra
ces a number of species of great economical value,
I, as, while the timber is excellent, the growth is far
more rapid than that of any others known, and their
ability to resist the greatest drought, and even flour
ish in it, point them out as eminently fitted for cul
tivation in more orless desert regions. How far, as
a form eminently Australian and Old World, the
Eucalyptus would answer for growth in California
and other comparatively rainless districts of Ameri
-ca, can only he known by experiment. Other Aus
tralian trees, as the. Acacias and Casuarinas, might
be employed for the same purpose—possibly ena
' bling us to start a belt of forest timber in what is
now a desert; and thus, in time, reclaiming entire
countries from desolation.
St. Thomas.—The decision of the people °tale
Island of St. Thomas, by a popular vote to accept
annexation to the United States, was announced,
Dec. 6th. The prospective transfer of this island to
the United States is said to be causing considerable
excitement in Cuba. A correspondent. of the New
York Tribune, himself a Cuban, reports that the
whole of the native population begins to be tired of
Spanish rule, and the idea of an incorporation with
the United States is very popular.
A DESIRABLE HOLIDAY PRESENT
There was a time—and not very long ago either—
when Sewing Machines, with all their acknowledged
utility were among the luxuries of social life. The
few possessed them and expatiated upon their won
derful charms with tireless loquacity and dilated
eyes, while the many looked upon them as marvels
of scientific and inventive genius far beyond their
reach. That time has passed by most untnistalta
blY; and to-day, the best loved coadjutor of the pre
siding genius of every well-ordered household, is
the Sewing Machine.
" But there are .so many different Sewing' Ma
chines," the people say, " all putting forth indisph
table claims to pre-eminent excellences, that we are
in a quandary, and don't know which to buy." To
choose finally in such a matter, is certainly impor
tant, and we may be able to assist some of those
who are unable to decide for themselves, At any
rate we will say frankly that the GROVER & BARER
Sewing Machine must "be regarded as one of , the
most perfect, complete and desirable in the market.
It le light, graceful and simple; it sews rapidly, un
deviatingly, surely; its stitch is compact and ele
gant, and never gives out; it4oes everything that
can be done by any Sewhig c l4ehine, and excels all
others in its adaptability folfl'em t Airoidery. The spe
cimens of this branch of needlework are as won
derful as they are exquisite. The. steadiest and most
skillful hand, inspired to labor by the fondestkmo
dyes and most ingeivoits_ imagination, could not
hope to execute such' work, although it might devote
to it days and weeks of wearying toil. In addition
to recommendations like these, it must by no means
be forgotten that the GROVER & BARER Sewing Ma
chine was the only one which received, at the Par
is Universal Exposition, the Cross of the Legion of
IR nor, that most coveted of all prizes among exhib
itors. The thousands who are looking about for
the best Sewing Machine, as a holiday present for
some dear friend, or some needy and deserving poor
person, will do well not to lose sight of such facts
as these.—. Home Journal.
FALLING OF THE HAIR

the hair from falling, are truly remarkable.
