And labors weary slave
Rejoices that his limbs will know
The quiet of the grave.

The Amoor River Exploration
In IMS Mr. P. Mel. Collins ofC'iilim-
ma, hud his attention attracted to llio
country on tho Pacific, north of China, uh
oll'oring grout inducements for the exton
Hion of tho commerce of tho United Slates,
und he determined to explore it. His
first object was to obtain tho authority of
his own government uh a means by which
to induce tho Russian authorities to grant
the necessary pcrmis-dor. for exploration
and travel. When Mr. Collins inudo ap
plication to Gov. Marcy, tho -leeictary of
State, lor mi appointment us consul at

Where is tho A moor Kiver?,' Alter ex-
plaining why he wanted the ummintment.
and showing the sup posed udvuntages of
his proposed explorations to the 'com
merce of tho United .States, (iovernor
Marcy and President Pierce entered with
zeal into his views, and the communion us
consul to the AtiKior river was granted.
Armed with this, Mr. Collins immediate
ly left for St. Petersburg, where ho had to
remain for six months before ho could ob.
tain permission from the Itussiun govern
ment to enter upon his truvels. When ho
at hist received the authority ho depart
ed on his, journey in coin nun v with Rus
sian government ollicers, for Irkontsk, the
capital of Kastern Siberia. At this place,

muiiied three months, exploring the adia
cent country, forty miles eat of lr-
, koutsk is Lake I5aikal, a fine sheet of wa
ter, five, hundred miles long, und ii ft y or
sxty miles wide.
This lake is directly north of Siani, and
the extreme eastern point of the truvels of
Mr. Atkins, whose work on "Orientul und

Stanvoy mountains lor China." The Stan
voy mountains divide the waters which
tlow into tho Frozen Ocean from those
which empty into thel'iicit'ie. Mr. Collins
was now in iv country never before travel

eight hundred miles north of I'ekin, bor
dering upon Mongolia, lie made explo
rations iii the country during a period of
three months, visiting the extensive gold

by the Oovernor as totlio objects of hi.-.
,)ourne, anil the interpretai ion ot his an
swers were carefully rendered. The iov
ei nor ami people exhibited a desire for
trade, but even ar. application to explore
the city was refused. Mr. Collins states
that the whole surface of this river, for a
distance of two thousand six hundred
mlies, is susceptiblo of steam navigation,
and the country drained by the Amoor
has a population of about five millions.
Theie are nlreudy four vessels trading from

of this new country, and holdout every in-

The Prussian King's Tall Beauties.
Thiring his father's lifo time, Frederick
William 1 of Prussia, had commenced the
formation of a regiment of tall recruit",
which he had been obliged to keep sedu
lously concealed from tho paternal eye,
exercising them privately at Mil lenw aide,
and gi ing orders that if the king should
pay one of his inlreouent visits to that
place, they should instantly conceal them
selves, and remain till his departure. On
Frederick William's accession, he had Colt
deeply grieved und astonished that the
citizens of Ilerlin should refuse to receive
his put giants into quarters among them.
I hi! great elector had built a house and
laid out gardens in the Dutch sty k- at
Potsdam . these gardens his grandson
turned into parade grounds, and here lie
established Iih "hluo children," an they
were called, on account, of the color of
i heir uniform. liielefeld gives u descrip-
ion of this regiment of giants. "Nairn--,"
'ie says, w ho has been lavish to them in
ne respict. has been but a niggardly step
damc in others. They had eithes ugly
'aces, crooked legs, or some other defect."
However, Fiederi k William lavished
enormous sums upon them ; home of tin
peculiar giants hn as much as two florn
per day, and wero allowed to carry on a
trade besides. No im was considered,
by the usually parsimonious king, too
large to be paid for a huge grenadier, mid
those potentates who wished to be on a
friendly footing with the king of Prussia,
had nothing to do but to search their do
minions for the tallest specimen of human
ity contained in them.
A present of a recruit of six feet might
bo surely counted on to secure Frederick
William's friendship : of six feet two, his
warmest alliance : and so on with propor
tion. Tho tallest and finest of these gren
adiers was an Irishman, by name .1 nines
Kirkland, whose proeural and transmis
sion from his native bogs to the parade
ground at Potsdam had cost Frcderirk
illiam upwards of twelve hundred
pounds sterling. Rut no one whose stat
ure hud uttaincd a more than ordinary
grow tli was safe from the hands of I is
Majesty's recruiters. At one lime a young
man by name Schindorf, who had been
diligently prosecuting the study of law for
five years, at Hallo, disappeared sudden
ly ; lie was a very tall man; the dreaded
recruiting Wagon hud been seen in tho
neighborhood; tho combination was easy,
the deduction certain. Tho college sent
up a remonstrance, March 10. I Ml, upon
this misapprobation of mind to the mere
purposes of matter. The king's answer
was very quickly given in his usual con
cise style: "Shall not reason That is
my subject." His passion for tall soldiers
led him to wish to recruit his great reg
iment without trouble. One day in tho
neighborhood nf Potsdam, mo'-ting a very
tall and well made village girl, ho asked
her to take a note, which he wrote upon
the spot, to tho captain of his regiment..
Fither suspecting something, or being in a
hurry, the girl gave the note to a little old
woman whom she fell in with, mid oh.-ir
ed her to deliver it as directed. This note
contained an order to tho captain to have
the bearer instrmt'y married to the tallest
man in tho regiment, whose name was
specified. On being acqu .inted with his
fate and introduced to his bride, the poor
young fellow was in despair. Ho bogged
and entreated, 'ell on his knees and wept.
but all to no purpose: the king's will was
law, and the matrimonial noose was tied
However, tno King, on hearing ot tho ex
change of brides that had boon made, al
lowed tho marriage to bo diolved. Mi'

How the Price of Bread ii Mtnaffed in
Paris.
Every bag of wheat, flour, or meal that
comes to tho city must be brought to the
Hallo an Rio, or Grain Hall. This is un
iininenso urea, enclosed with a circular
wall, and covered by a huge dome, so that
it presents a vast, unbroken hall, of grand
and beautiful proportions, lighted from
the top. Various stalls, with desks, form
the oflic of the clerks and employee. On
the lloor ol this hull are piled up, cob
house fashion, in huge piles, ten to twen
ty feet high, the hags of grain, presenting
to the visiter a striking punorwma of solid
plenty.
The city of Paris is surrounded by a wall
not for defence, us it is comparatively
slight, but simply for police, revenue, and
other municipal purposes, one of which is
the regulation of the bread market. Rum
ors, that is gates, with police attendants
and revenue otlicers.torm the only entran
ces to the city, except the river Seine,
winch has its guards. Every bushel of
wheat, or otuer grain brought to the city
for sale, must be registered and stored fit
the grain hull, under heavy penalties.
This regulation is rigidly enforced, which
it is easy to do, ut the barriers, with so
bulky an article; especially us the bags
must bo of uniform size.
From this register of the daily supply,
tho government ol the city know at any
hour, just how many pounds or necks of
grain of any kind tli ere arein Paris. From
the accurate statistics required to be fur
nished, tnVv know how much flour or
meal is baked daily at each bakery, and
how much bread of all kinds is consumed.
They are therefore able to fix the w eight A
priced loaves, each eizc nid shape whereof
lias its appropriate name, according to the
ratio between supply and demand, allow
ing a fair and just, profit to producers, tra
ders and bakers, ho Dior; no less. This
price, thus fairly graduated, at short in
tervals, is fully proclaimed to the public,
the dealers, the bakers, and the police.

the English and American fashion of do -

the weight deficient, or the nrice of a i.nr.
licular kind of loaf too high for the grade,
all the bread in the shop is swept away at
onoeand distributed to the hospitals and
other elomosynary establishments of the
city. Thus are the public protected a
gainst private cupidity speculating in the
means of existence.
A Wife's Influenc Judgi? O'Xeal, in
the Yorkvillo Enquire, tells the following
of Judge William Smith, of South Caroli
na; He had the rare blessinc to win the
i love
of one of the luirest, mildest, and
best women, whoso character has ever
peon present to tho writer. He married
Margaret Dull'. In his worst d iys she
never upbraided him by word look or ges
ture, but met him as if ho was one of the
best and kindest of husband. This course
on her part humbled him, and made him
weeplikcachild. This sentence it is hop
ed, will bo remembered, was the language
of Judge Smith to tho friend already nam
ed and to those who knew the stern, tin
puiding public character of the. Judge, II
.will touch a lesson of how much a woman's
J.ive can accomplish. He was fit hist re
formed by an instance of her patient love
mid devotion, as he himself told it:
"The evening before the Hetnrn-d.ty of
the Court of Com ion Tims for York 'dis

called a spree, then a frolic. Mrs. Smith

Mr. Smith in 'riotous living.' At daylight

to have been his work, wit h her head und

This bowed the strong man, 'ho fell on his

V ice Roy who has delayed his departure
lor Lpper Lgypt, where he intends to pass
t he winter, received the duy before yester
duy, in great pomp, the caravan ofMus
sulmen pilgrims, arriving from Mecca. It
was preceded bv the Bacred camel, which
the Chief of he caravan, surrounded
by the ulenias and other persons of dis
tinction, presented to thePrincc. Th
sacred camel is that which, on returning
Irom the journey, curries the lurge black
veil which covers the Kaaba or Sacred
Horse. Mussulman tradition says that, ii
was in that edifice that the Archangel O'a'
briel appeared to Mahomet, and dictated
to him the truths which ho was to reveal
to mankind. The Kauba takes its name
from its square form, which is thirty feet
each way. The large .vert which covers it
is of black silk. In the centre, embroi
dered in letters of gold, ore the following
words, tho symbol of the faith of the Mus
sulman, "There is only one God, and Ma
homet is his prophet." The veil is only
attached by four cords of gold thread, pla
ced ut the catdinal points. The veil is re
newed every year, and is furnished by tho
Sultan of tho Ottomans, the chief of the
Sunnite believers. The old ones are care
fully preserved in the treasury of Saint
Sophia, Constantinople. The sacred cam
el is never afterwards employed in any la
bor, and ends his divs in the ftncfi!nt gar
dons of the Old Seraglio.
'Ihe Viceroy receives tho caravan
with the greatest honors ; he was present
at tho prayers recited by the ulenias in tho
open uir, and the example produced a
great cfi'ect upon the immense crowd of
persons who had assembled to witness llio
sight.
