The Emperor 'of 11-azil, he said, not the Dons, though, had given him the cuncession of a whole province full of mines of gold, silver, and diamonds, to say nothing of the less precious metals, mines of which existed in profusion. He engaged a simple draughts man to plan him out from his own sketches a map of this metalliferous region, fur the purpose of gett tug up a company, The smut said to me afterwards, with uplifted eyes and hands, "Why, that viscount is neither more nor less than no swindler.— When I took him the map for approval, he grumbled because there wern't more dia. mond mines ; and say , he "Pop down three more on that liver and two more on that, and a gold mine in the leftdiand top corner. lit's a do, sir."

The honor of the inven• Lion appertains, I believe to the famous Mr. William Canty, a play-man of long-standing and first-rate abilities. A series of miscon ceptions, however, relative to a cashbox and the Westminster Bank, together with an erroneous view taken of Mr. Cauty's conduct by a jury of his countrymen, and the palpable misdirection of a learned judge, changed the venue of his nautical experien ces from the Spanish Main to the South Pacific Ocean. In sober truth and sad earn est he was transported for life. Play, like science, has had its martyrs. These are some of the aspects of gam bling.. If Ibe asked how many more there he, I require to to informed how many changes of pattern can be counted in a kalehlseope : and, when I receive a reply, I will answer the question. AN EXITAORDINARY Cone roe. DE.I.FNESS. —A new discovery, made not lung since in Paris, excites a great deal of atteotion, not merely on account of its intrinsic impor tance, but because of the melancholy result of it to the discoverer. It appears that Cleret, a school-mistress, had been fur many years very deaf, but one day she bought some thread, which was wrapped in a leaf from some work on geography which had fallen still-born from the press and had been sold as waste paper. She read on it that certain peasants would cure them selves of deafness by exposing their ears to certain emanations. Site forthwith began to spoke experiments on herself—guided to different objects nut by chemical knowledge, but simply by accident. After having used the most painful substanaes, sht hit upon the substance she now uses, and experienc ing the good effects of it on herself, she ap plied it to her pupils. Twenty-nine child ren were attended by her, and in every in stance advantageous results obtained. Two children, declared by approved medical men to be incurably deaf and dumb, were com pletely cured by her. Seven other children were attended by her, under the supervi sion of a committee; these children were completely deal and dumb. All of them, :titer receit ing Iter attentions for eight or line months evidently greatly improved. !tut Mdlle. Cleret WAS poor—extremely poor -and she wrote to the. Miat-aer of Pub lic Instruction. nnnouncing her discovery and itse.img I.IW state to assist her in making it known. Doctor Behier was ordered to esmniee her claim. Ile reported in favor if g rantin g her tcry considerable pecuniary nssistanee, and asked that a medical cum littit.e Le appointed to examine profoundly into ('last's method. The commit ice uppointed consisted of Moms. Lelut, Mons. Rerard, Mons. Georges Ritt, Mons. Tahtde Gabel, Molls. Rapet, Mons. Pillet. and Doctor Defiler. It met first in October, ls.lB. and every three mood's thereafter, to examine the state of the children confided to Mdlle Claret's care. lVhile in the midst of this study, the poor selttod-mistress went mad. The contrast between her excessive poverty and new independence of fortune— between the obscurity of her position and the fame given by her cure—wore too much for her wits. -She is now in a lunatic asy lum. The medical means used by Jldlle. Cle ret was "sulphuric ether poured directly into the ear in a dose of four or five or six or eight drops a day. Usually this agent produces only a slight degree of sensibility or pain. After it has been used fifteen or twenty days the operator may suspend its use fur several dap to retain its energy bet ter. and then resume its use. The appli cation may be continued, if not indefinitely, at least fur a very lo , g period of time."— The committee further says: The inno cuousness of this substance (sal ph uric ether) is more than demonstrated by the numer ous experiments we have witnessed." It is said that the cure has not yet failed in any of the numerous cases to which it has been applied.—.Y. I:Ertl:lag Post.

Alarm was given, but the building was soon in a blaze, and in half an hour was burned to the ground.— A horse and buggy belongin , " to Mr. William Lowry were saved from the burning stable. A considerable amount of hay, with some feed, ,tc., was burned. This stable nearly adjoins Mr. Liphart's carpenter shop and narrowly escaped destruction at the time the old shop was burned. The thoroughly fire proof building just erected by Mr. Liphart was probably one means of preventing the spread of the fire down the alley, where it would have found ample food in the numer ous frame stables. The exertions of the firemen were very efficient in confining the flames to the one building. The fire was evidently of incendiary origin. After the fire had been got under, n frame building near the corner of Third and Cher ry was found to be on fire, but it was readi• ly extinguished without doing damage.— The latter fire was probably kindled by a spark from the stable. Tae FAIR.—The Fair fur the benefit of the Columbia Firo Onnpany terminated on Saturday. The closing night was a triumph. Five hundred and twenty-three tickets were sold for that night alone, and the amount taken in at the tables was very considera ble. Altogether the sum realized at the Fair was a very considerable one, and will form a handsome contribution on the part uf the ladies. Everything went off pleasant ly and with order. The room was hand. soniely decorated ; the tables were well tilled with Fancy articles, cakes, &e., which found ready sale. We may announce the speedy arrival of a new Engine for the Cdumbia Boys. The citizens cannot con tribute to a more deserving object than the purchase of good Ere apparatus, such as will im•ttre our town as tar as possible from destructive fires, nod a good Engine cannot bo place.l in more efficient hands than in thip-e of the members of the Old Columbia. DestocrtaTieCo ENT mx.—The adjourned Democratic National Convention which met in Baltimore un Monday has not made ma terial progress up to the last accounts which reach us in time fur this week's paper—to Thursday evening. Contesting delegations from the Southern scoNling states have ere• aced great difficulties, awl it is thought im possible to reconcile conflicting interests.— The majority of the Committee on Creden• slats to which the contested seats are re ferred, reports in favor of admitting the contesting delegates from Louisiana and Alabama, and divide I delegations frutn Mis souri and Georgia. There will be a hard fight on the adoption of the majority report, and if it be adopted the seceders will prob- ably re-secede. There is a tremendous crowd in Baltimore and great excitement. The "Harmonious Democracy" seem to belie their old title.— A number of rows have occurred, verbal and fistic, and no less than three duels are an nounced as forth coming. Messrs. Mont gomery and Randall, of Pennsylvania, had a difference in Convention, and the son of the latter struck Mr. Montgomery, on meet ing him in the street, and was knocked into the gutter by the latter, who drew on him a dozen silver spoons. If the fight over the Southern delegates does not last too long the work of the Convention may be finished to day, but unless there has been a split there will hardly be a nomination before next week.

Sresm.mt, Philadelphia. A COLUMBIA. Maturecronr.—On Thurs day strolling in search of a local we found ourself in front of the Columbia .Manufac taring Company's works, in Second street below Union, nOw carried on by Supplee & Brother. We hear a great deal of Colum bia-atillness and Want of business, and had almost come to the conclusion that no energy was to be found in any branch .of -trade or manufacture. We were therefore not pre pared for the activity displayed at this establishment in all the manufacturing branches carried on within its walls. The first mark of life displayed was in the open space between the building and street, where Mr. Henry Brandt and his workmen were engaged in putting the finishing touches to a number of Pratt's Patent Huy and Orain Bakes--Lmachines which are manufactured here fur all parts of the coun try. The complete rakes were being hauled away iu twos and threes, and the separate parts, ready to put together, shipped by the car load. Upon inquring we learned that up to Thursday seven hundred and seventy one Rakes had been turned out and disposed of, and that before the close of the season— after harvest the demand ceases—eight hun dred and fifty Rakes will have been finished and sold. The Rakes are now being turned out at the rate of twenty-four a day. Accompanied by Messrs. Supnlee and Brandt we went through their respective de partments of the manufactory, and found them in active operation. The main floor, on a level with Second street, is occupied by the machine shop, where the Messrs. Supplee are engaged on a variety of work which we cannot technically describe.— There was some heavy work for the Juniata Iron Works, and other machinery fur differ ent parts of the country. We noticed a beautiful little steam er gine of 10 horse power, for Mr. Shultz, of Marietta. The lower floor or basement, on a level with the Penna. Railroad, contains the Foundry, Blacksmith shop, &c. Iri the Foundry the hands were preparing the moulds for cast ing. Just turned out was a large roll for the Columbia Ruling Mill, and a variety of other heavy work. We were here shown a curiosity in the shape of a Yankee patent for introducing "manners" among the pork ers. It is a cast iron pig trough, by means of which no pig can force the feeding, but must wait the feeder's pleasure, and eat like a gentleman without smearing his fing ers. The thing is very ingenious and prom ' ises future improvement in pig etiquette.— Messrs. Suppler) have the putout for this county, and as soon as they have a sufficient number of the troughs manufitztured will introduce them generally. Mr. Brandt now gave us an insight into the manufacture of his Rakes. Ile has his business well systematized, and the various parts are turned out very expeditiously.— In the lower yard of the establishment we were shown the process of tiring the wheels of the Rakes; it was very rapid and simple, but it was well and substantially done.— Mr. Brandt here explained to us Lis ma chine for bending the teeth for the Rakes, a patent fur which he has recently taken out. It worked admirably, and saves a great amount of labor. In the Blacksmith Shop we saw io operation a little machine by aid of which the steel teeth ar fastened to cast iron ferrules previous to being attached to the Rake. This also is an invention of the establishment, and is at once simple and ingenious. We may mention here that six teen tons of Cast steel has been used this season fur teeth alune. The hubs of the wheels are of cast iron, made by Messrs. Supplee; of these there have been used this year, twelve tons. The second floor is used as a manufactory of tho wood work of the Rakes, patterns for the Foundry, &c. here we saw in operation a neat little machine for cutting circular tenons, got up purposely for this business. Tenons on the felloes are cut by it. and others, larger and amnller. The third and fourth floors are used as pattern rooms be ing filled with patterns for all kinds and sizes of castings. In fact this extensive establishment is oc cupied from basement to ma. and is a busy pushing concern, creditable alike to the men at the head of it, and to our town. There are about seventy hands employed, of which fifty are at work in the various branches of Mr. Brandt's business. Mr. B. is now turning out twenty-four Rakes a day, and the demand calls for twice the number that he has facilities for manufacturing. The business is likely to bee permanent one in Columbia, and one that will increase rather than diminish. This is the kind of business required to make our town independent of its old sources of' prosperity, and if once we can obtain a preeminence in manufac tures we will stand on a firm foundation and may build as high as our means will carry as. .Tuns Coorrat A DESTRUCTIVE HAIL Sroerr.—On Tues. day afternoon about five o'clock, a heavy thunder storm passed over. this place, ac• companied by hail. The storm in Columbia was not destructive, but in other parts of the county it was heavier and in some pla ces disastrius. The streams were all swol len heavily and considerable destruction of fences in this neighborhood was the conse quence. The wind stria,* the river below the bridge, and carried the water in spray to considerable height, and afterwards in several places the water was whirled up with a rotary motion in pillars of foam.— Accounts from different sections of the Coun ty show considerable damage. We copy some particulars from the Lancaster .E.c press of Wednesday evening. Last evening between 5 and 6 o'clock one of the most destructive hail storms and tor nadoes which has ever visited this vicinity. passed over the townships of Mount Joy, Rapho, West llempfield, Manor and Con estoga, doing great damage to property and the crops. The storm appears to have come from the north or northwest. The particulars of the storm in the coon. ty, as far as they have reached us, are given below : The first point of which we have any in formation is at Silver Springs, about four miles south of Mount Joy. At this point hail Dam thick as to cover the ground to the depth of several inches, and it ,ie said that come of the hail-stones measured three inches in circumference• • The corn and tobacco crops were cut to pieces, and the wheat, rye and oats beaten down. At Turkey lull and vicinity the hail • is said to have fallen to the depth of three inches, and that in the evening persons were seen shoveling it from their doors.— This seems 'lncas steep, but we arc assured it is the truth. At Mount Joy, the hail was also very destructive, breaking windows and doing damage to the yards and gardens in the neighborhood. Mr. Abraham Backman, of that place, who came to this city last eve ning after thestorm, brought with him about a half bushel of hail-stones in - a bag, some of which, even several hours after they had fallen,were as large as ordinary-sized hicko ry nuts. The next we hear of the storm is at Mountville. A reliable correspondent at that place furnishes us with the following particulars: "Yesterday evening, at half past five o'clock, oar town and neighborhood was visited by one of the heaviest thunder and hail storms that was ever known here. In less than five minutes, the ground was literally covered with fulling hail, which continued for about 25 minutes ; the lain in the meantime fillting thick and heavy in perfect floods. Vegetation is completely cur to shreds. small plants - were deeply buried in the ground; cherries, apples, &c., were cut from the trees, covering the ground with the green fruit. The tobacco farmers' hopes are frustrated. The plants are com pletely cut to pieces. The wheat and rye are leveled with the ground—the stalks split and the heads cut off. The grain is very much injured, as the heads are not yet filled, and will therefore not come to - perfection. "The creeks were swelled higher than ever known, carrying fences and everything in their course. About fifteen tons of dried hay in the meadow of L. S. Garber was swept away and much damage was other wise done. The storm when it reached Safe Harbor, seems to have attained its full power. At this point its destructiveness to property and the crops is incalculable at this time. It is said to have struck Safe Harbor about half past five o'clock. The first indications of its approach were deep black cloudecoming up over a bill to the north, carrying with them boards, shingles, limbs of trees, and everything indeed which could not resist their force. An eye witness informs us that the tornado—for such it really became when it reached this point—approached slowly and looked fearfully sublime. The dark masses of clouds rolled and pitched over one another as if an army of demons were in deadly conflict, while the lower strata tore off shingles and boards from the roofs of houses, nr licked them or from in secure places. They went up into the dark rolling clouds, and every now and then were revealed to the eye by vivid flashes of light ning. The phenomena are said to have been appalling to the beholder. When the storm struck the Cenestoga, in front of Hess' Mansion House Hotel, it com• plotely lifted the entire body of water from its bed, so that those who were on the banks of the creek at the time could see the bottom. In the creek was a large quantity of lumber belonging to Mr Reinhold, of this city, which it also carried up. But, singular to 'elate, an adverse current of wind carried. water and lumber back to the bed of the creek. The tornado next struck the islands in the Susquehanna, where it did great damage. The two•story frame house and barn belong ing to Snyder, Sourbeer & Co., were leveled with the ground. When the tornado reach el the house it smashed in all the windows and then raised the house from its founda tion and dashed it to fragments. The oc cupants of the house, about fifteen in num ber, who saw the storm approach, took ref age in the cellar. and strange to say all escaped without any serious injury. Mr. William Williamson was on the isl and working and when he saw the tornado emnizie,.. he took hold of a tree to prevent being blown away. The tree Wag torn up by the roots. carried a di-tance of about a hundred yards and Mr. Williamson with it. lle escaped with a few bruises. Mr. John Campbell, who was also on the island. was blown into the river, but saved himself by clinging to a tree which floated by him. The crops on the island were completely destroyed. The loss on the Island, it is es timated, amounts to between tweive and fit teen hundred dollars. The tornado is said to have been about three quarters of a mile in width. Some of the hail stones which fell in the neighbor hood of Safe Harbor were of extraordinary size, many of them as large as hen's eggs. The cost of repairing broken windows will prove a heavy item. The crops between Safe Harbor and Millersville are much dam aged, the corn in many places is cut to shreds while the other grain is badly beaten down and cut up. We learn that in the vicinity of Marietta the crops were much cut and damaged. After passing over safe Harbor, the storm seems to have kept on its course towards the Maryland line, doing injury to the crops in Conestoga and Martic-twps., but we have no particulars from these places. PROCEEDINGS or COVNCIL—CoLemniA, June 15, 1860—Connell met. The roll was called and T. Welsh reported absent. Minutes of last meeting read and ap- proved. The Finance Committee reported that the Treasurer had paid G. Minich's bond, $155, and F. S. BJetz's bond for SalCi; also a balance of $1.216.30 in the Treasury. On motion of Mr. Watts, The high Con stable was authorized to receive $5, from S. 11. Lockard, in full of cellar rent due the 1::M:1 Borough. On motion of Mr. Hershey, an order was drawn on the Treasurer in favor of C. Swartz; fur two orders, issued in February, 1858. by the Road Committee amounting to $3.50. The following Bills were ordered to be paid John Fisber, $10; Semi. Waites, $1.60; Lockard & Rich, $16.50; James Barber, $17.90; C. A. Hook, $12.50; D. S. Chalfant, $26.50; C. Bowers, $14.50; 11. Wilson, $18.57; Wm. 'Moony, $3.20; Saylor & McDonald, $2.36; R. Harry, $18.06; R. W. Smith, $3.00; J. Shenberger, $35.50; Saml. Wright, $43.13. Mr. Hershey moved that orders be drawn on the Treasurer for the annual appropria tions due the Fire Companies, amounting to $2O each, which was agreed to. Mr. McChesney offered the following resolution ; Resolved, That the Committee on furnish ing the room he instructed to procure mat ting for the Council room and a Safe for the use of Council. Mr. Bruner offered the following amend ment: That the Committee first inquire the price of the articles and report at next meet ing of Council. Mr. McChesney accepted the amendment, and the resolution as amended was agreed to. Mr. Hershey moved that an order be drawn on the Treasurer in favor of the President for $440, to pay for the Markley Lot, purchased at last meeting of Council. Mr. Watts moved to amend by striking out all after the word President and insert "$1.150, for tho payment of the Bond held by Mrs. Harry." Mr. Bruner moved to amend the amend ment of Mr. Watts by inserting after the words Mrs. harry, "and other Bonds of the Borough as far as the money in the Treasu ry will reach." After considerable discussion, Mr. Watts moved that the whole matter be laid over until next meeting of Council. On which the Yeas and Nays were called, and agreed to ns follows : Yeas, Messrs. Bruner, Breneman, Her shey, Hippy and Watts. Nays, Messrs. Fraley, McChesney and Prattler. On motion, Council adjourned. ficarsa's MAGAZINE.—Harper for July opens with an illustrated article on Nail Making, giving the process of manufacture with illustrations of machinery, &c.

The story is without plot or any thing else excepting the author's ad mirable English style and unequalled satire. The funny illustrations this month are worse even than Bellew's abortions. Aarnua's lio.va MaGAzorE.—The !tome Magazine fur July has been received. 'll lustrations and reading matter are alike good, and go to make up a fine number.— The Home Magazine is one of the best mag az nes fur the family circle published in this country. BEAUTY OP MOROCCO JEWESSES.—The Jews hold an extraordinary position in Morocco. Insulted, harassed, robbed, hated and de spised, they yet contrive to amass wealth and obtain good appointments. Their great ambition is to be allowed to wear a Euro pean bat and coat, and to fling off the black turban, which is their sign of degradation and slavery. The Mogador Jewesses are not very strict to their faith. They will marry any well to do Christian gentleman who should make the offer seriously. Trey are singularly lovely io face, though so stout in form. Both in Tangier and Mogador I was fortunate enough to be acquainted with families who could boast of the most per fect and classic types of Jewish female loveliness. Alas, that these beauties should be only charming c•eimals, their minds and affectious being left uncultivated, or con verted into caves of unclean and tormenting passions. The Jewesses in general, until they become enormously stout and weighed down with obesity, are of extreme bo iuty. Most of them have fair complexions; their rose and jasmine faces, their pure, wax-like delicate features, and their exceedingly be witching and expressive eyes, would fasci nate the most fastidious of European con noiseurs of female beauty. But these Is raelitish ladies, recalling the image of Ra chel in the Patriarchal times of Holy Writ, and worthy to serve as models for a Grecian sculptor, are treated with savage disdain by the churlish Moors, and sometimes are ob liged to walk barefoot and prostrate them selves before their ugly negress concubines. The male infants of Jews are engaging and good looking when young; but, as they grow up, become ordinary; and Jews or a certain age are decidedly and most disgustingly ugly. In former days, Jewesses, as well as Jews, were obliged to take off their slippers or sandals in passing a mosque. But the predecessor of the -present emperor, a rigid Mossulman, considered it a great scandal that these fat, enormous infidels should dis turb the devotions of the faithful by show ing their well-conditioned ankles, so the or der was recinded, and the spirits of the Mussulinans were left in peace. OLD SA WS NEW SET.-"A burden which one chooses is not felt." We once chose a burdensome hat, which in spite of our roll tion, was "felt." "A weak watch invitee a vigilant foe."— Yes, and the "foe" in question is tho watch repairer, who is always on the look-out for w. ak watches. "A fop is the tailor's friend and his own foe." Nut always. Sometimes he is his own friend and the tailor's foe. "A penny saved is twice earned." Then it isn't worth saving. "Ask thy purse what thou shouldest buy." We asked ours, the other day, what we should buy. But Echo, most perversely, didn't answer "buy." "Custom invariably lessens admiration." Not invariably. Ask the shop-keepers. "Business is the salt of life." Very likely. But who wants salt for a perpetual diet? "Better to bealone than in bad company." True, but, unfortunately, many persons are never in so bad company as when they are alone. "Debt is the worst kind of poverty." Not ezaetly. There are people so poor that they can't get into debt. Debt to then would be property instead of poverty. INVENTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS ARE :10T CONFINED TO MEET'S:MS.—There are others not so outspoken and so noisy, that occupy a deeper strata of society, whose improve ments are not less palpable,and whose si lent influence upon the comfort and happi ness of society not less striking. True, the advent of a sewing machine, a reaper, or a plowing machine, which at once does the work of a score of hands, is an event so no table, an improvement so manifest, that all are impressed with its importance. In almost all such cases the result is gained not so much by the discovery of new powers as by the new application and combination of those long known and understood. What is yet more remarkable is, that the new application is so simple and efficient, that we wonder it had not been thought of and applied long before. Such were our reflections on seeing one of Prof. Hammier. Ys' family cases Of SPECIFIC LIONEOP.ITIIIC MEDICINES. Comprised in a small case, which is a handsome ornament for a lady's table, you have twenty specific remedies, appropriate for almost every ail ment or disease which may occur in a family, together with a concise little manual of di. rections for reference and use. The whole arrangement is simplicity itself, and the remedies are so arranged and labeled that any intelligent person may apply them at once successfully, and thus, in the most im portant sense, become their own physician. No accurate investigation or study, no bal ancing of probabilities, is necessary. Here is the ailment,—there the pleasant sugar plum remedy. All this simplicity and cer tainty is attained by the mere combination of the best Homeopathic Medicines accord ing to Prof. Humphreys' theory and dis covery. So simple and common-sense, and yet so efficient, does the whole arrangement appear, and so obviously does it meet the wants of a family, that we wonder the pro fession had not long ago availed themselves of it, and that just such simple and pleasant remedies had not been given to the people long ago. If this new discovery and ar rangement shall have the effect, which it promises to do, of driving from use the de structive and deleterious drugs so long in vogue, and inducing a reliance on nature and such mild means, it must be considered one of the most important improvements of the age, and one which a suffering and over dosed world sadly require. CURIOUS STORY OT A LOST BANK BILL.— In the year 1740 one of the directors, a very rich man, had ocedsion for D 30,000, which he was to pay as the price of an estate he had just bought; to facilitate the matter he carried the sum with him to the bank and obtained for it a bank bill. On his return home he was suddenly called out upon par ticular business; be threw the note careless ly upon the chimney, but when he came back a few minutes afterwards to look it up it was not to be found. No one had entered the room; be could not, therefore, suspect any one. At last, afor much ineffectual search, he was persuaded that it had fallen from the chimney into the fire. The director went to acquaint his col league with his misfortune; and as he was known to be a perfectly honorable man he was readily believed. It was only about four and twenty hours from the time that he bad deposited the money; they thought, therefore, that it would be bard to refuse hid request for a second bill. lle received it upon giving an obligation to restore the first bill if it should ever be found, or to pay the money himself if it should he pre sented by any stranger. About 30 years afterwards (the director having beeu long dead and his heirs in possession of his for tune,) an unknown person presented the first bill at the bank and demanded pay ment. It was in vain they mentioned to this individual the transaction by which that bill was annulled; he would nut listen to it he maintained that it had come to him from abroad, and insisted upon immediate pay ment. The note was payable to bearer; and the thirty thousand pounds were paid him. The heirs of the director refused restitution; and the bank was obliged to sustain the loss.— It was discovered afterwards that an archi tect, having purehasel the director's house, had taken it down in order to build another upon the same spot, had found the note in a crevice of the chimney, and made his dis covery an engine for robbing the bank. Carelessness equal to that here recorded is not ixt all uncommon, and gives the bank enormous profit, against which the loss of a mere thirty thousand pounds is but a trifle. But notes have been known to light pipes, to wrap up snuff, to be used as curl-papers; and British tars, mad with rum and prize money, have not uufrequently, in time of war, eaten them as sandwiches between bread and butter.
