THE itAltgiliOTH CAVE; or KENTUCKY. A visit to the .Maniiindth Cave, in Kentucky_ has enabl'ed the writer of this to judge of the value of• a recent publication of;Messrs: J. B. Lippincott d Co., called a Historical and De scriptive Narrative of the Mammoth Cave of Kentncky,'''by W. Stump Forwood, Ili. 430. The book was ln icily noticed in this pver when -it first appeared last spring ; but: 4 - 1, personal knowledgeof, the Cave is needed to understand its full value; and, after obtaining this kuowl big°, we are able to say that Dr. Forwoocl has written a description of this most marvellous, of nature's marvels, which is faithful without being in the leatiLextravagant, and which can be read and re-read with delight by every one . that has ever visited the Cave. Repeatedly, since our visit, have its mysterious passages, silent waters, awful domes and vast chambers - been brought before the mind's eye - On reading his pages, and for this reason we 'MAI to re commend the book to all tvlio have over been in the Cave. • And to those who have not been in but who hope to visit it, we also recom mend the Work as one to'study preparatory to the most novel :and awe-inspiring of all the possible - eXperiences of a tourist. It is' true that no description can fully prepare _a visitor for the wonders of the Cave; but this book of Dr. FOrweed!s _cOntains, muck which, if care fully studied, will help exceedingly in a first exploration. During the war of the rebellion the business . of the Mammoth Cave sutTered severely ; : be cause pleasure travel was not possible or not safe in that region. It is recovering since the • peace, but the number of visitors is still very small; and it is rather remarkable that there are in the hotel register almost as many names of foreigners—English especially—as there are of citizens of the United States beyond Ken-, tucky and Tennessee. These latter States, of course, furnish a good many casual visitors, some of whom-come on exciirsioufrolies, or to get a subterranean marriage ceremony, or for some other trivial purpose. We made 'no. ac curate cian**ut• we_doubt if, anion , the names of the past summer's visitors, there were fifty from Philadelphia, New York and Boston combined. And yet the Mammoth Cave is the most wonderful of the world's wonders; the most awful, but yet the most captivating. It is — almoSt enchanting, in the old Sense of that word, as . Used in the "Arabian Nights,V and as Irving used it in his early stories; and it is en chanting, too, in the commoner sense of the word. No one can go thfough it,aithout • fancying that he is in the mythic realm, " Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Throtigh caverns measureless to man, Down to a sunless sea ;" for that the cave,. with its numerous branches, \, was once the passage for a great subterranean river and its tributaries, no intelligent visitor :can doubt. He walks over a deposit of river sand, in the great avenues, the walls of which - show We attrition of water through countless years. There is a singular resemblance in the wearing away, of the limestone stratification, to -- ti one may sde k in various rivers not subtef t ranean, .in the. limestone re , ripns 61 daylight ; awl in the vast- halls th•Ctre7r l&assed before en tering•thenarrow, intricate and difficult aisles, • there is,, under tlie_jaint light of the lamps, a wonderful illusion of atmosphere, sky, stars, Climds and inlinite , spacenverhead, that makes one fancy lie is voyaging on some mySterious river, with the peculiarity of haviin; around him not a particle-of—natural--light-and-not-an atom of vegetable life. The skies of this under w,orld are rocks; the shores of these mystic lakes and rivers are hel bless ; the fishes that dwell in them Sre eyeless ; the beetles, the bats, the rats and the other ertires that ii lustrate the mysteries of lite in these cavernous depths, are of distinct natures uuknown in the sunlight. Description of such scenes is apt to become rhapsodical. Pictures of them are sure to he failures.oo444te magnesium light has enabled the photographer to give faithful illustrations of certain objects in the Cave, and some of these have been well reproduced by lithography for Dr. Forwood's book Palling, lil.e,all others, to give any idea of the Mammoth Cave, we can yet honestly recommend this book as a valuable study for a neN explorer, and a delightful ineans of recant its strange scenes to those who have already explored it.

THE HAYDEN GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. fl3pecia:l OorrestonfloncO of the Philn..Eveniour . U. B.' GEoLoekCaSuatarEv Fort - Bridger . Sept. 24 '1870:--Prof.''F. V . . - Hayden and party left South Pass:City on the morning of the . sth,. and after a ride of eighteen miles we • reached Pacific Springs, where we enCamped»fOr' the night. This place is so named . becaur the Wateit&of these springs flow into the Pacific (kcal), we having crossed the divide between , the two great oceans during our day's travel: Flom a neighboring hill, 800 feet above camp, . . ~ the ceurse •the Sweetwater river • and the Pacific creek, IlOWing froth, the abOve springs,_ could be traced winding in entirely opposite di rections, thetorie to the Atlantic and theother to the Pacifie. Early on the following morn ing, after traveling a , istance of twenty-three miles, we reached' the Little Sandy creek. fd About.midway on mar .day's journey we passed a ranche where some dozen cavalrymen were stationed to protect the stage route between Fort Bridget' and South Pass City. The Me _ noton4of sage brush and prickly pear avfi: briar ken-a part of the time by the curious - - shape' into which some of the beds of marl and sand stone had been weathered. •One of our sad dle mules, becoming fractious, ran away with, and - threw-- ono of -our party,- -who-luckily escaped with a few Severe, but not datgerops bruises. Along our route we picked up some very fine Ipecittieris of petrified wood in quite large pieces'; the knots and layers were dis tinctly marked. The following day we went twenty4cihr miles, and encamped on the Big Sandy Creek. This being our leader's birth day, we named our camp "Hayden," in his honor. Near the ereek we found seVeral de pressions which had oontained water; this, having recently evaporated, left regularly formed crystals of an alkoline deposit, in - and among 'Which grew a peculiar scarlet succulent plant , While' 'here ettr L artist - took some .',very::.. characteristic pictures of several of the party. This night , there- was TOM a change in. the . weather, the water in our vessels being frozen t , -he depth of half an inch,and the thermome -r at OA. M. recording 24' deg. Fahr. De, spite the cold_we broke camp early,and traveled but ten miles, encamping near - some barren lands on Green river,. close by the junction of the iiig . Sandy creek. The Green river is thurincipal tributary of the Colorado; and is a 'beautiful clear stream,!flowthg-over a stony bed. The Tolkiking day we drove twenty miles to GrangerAtation, on the Union Pacific 13 ail roadon d - encampecLat=the - ' junetkm" Cif' Harris and Black Forks. Here we stayed till the following morning. In the afternoon we walked over to the . Station and enjoyed read ing a fresh newspaper and eating California fruit, for which we paid a very reasonable price. Opposite the station was the• ,, rave- of 4 a Chinaman, fenced ' i by plain wooden slabs, and around the outsid were placed the painted c candles to light, and th bowls of rice* and water, to nourish, and ' a bottle of whisky' to qinat4le. . his spirit on its journey home. T JAN a he Chinaman for his labor upon this railroad in the past, as well as the present. Leaving this station we encamped twelve miles . farther up Black ,Fork, passing on our way the noted "Church' Buttes," where . the table lamb have been weathered into the peculiar form whence it derivdi its name; The following morning we left our camping place ' , and started for Fort Bridger, which: we reached without further incident (than the finding. of some fine moss agates) about neon on the, 12th, and expect to remain until the 25th, in order to recruit our stock and enable us to make a trip - into the Uinta mountains. 'Through the kindness Of the officers of this post, we are en ' camped near the fort ou a beautiful meadow, pough which runs the Black's Fork, a clear litikain, which takes its rise in the Uinta - - aatountainsi-whose,snow-cappedA)eaks loom up on our right. Behind us are the . " Mauvaises Terris," - as they are called, rising bluff-like to the height of 50 to 100 feet. To our left, be yond the fort, tie • the rolling plain covered with sage bus IT s, had six to twelve inches in height, and prickly pe • •s, a species of cactus. This valley of Black's For. , 'tends to the base of the mountains, its grassy -lopes stretching out on either side varyinr , from one..to ten miles in width. It affords umlaut pasturage to large herds of cattle, a well as hay to 4ins and the neighboring posts and settlements. A W, hiding line of quaking-asp and cotton-wood trees designated the stream's course until it reaches the base of the mountains, where it is lost in the dense pine fOrests which cover their sides. There is an area of from 300 to 400 square miles covered with full grown pine trees, through which runs a good road. The air here is exceedingly pure and the water also, while toward the mountains game is plenty and the trout, une, , ualled in flavor and abund ance. A flab days after our arrival, - the Pro fessor and several assistants, with W. H. Jack son, photokrapher to the expedition, started for the mountains to• study their geological cha racteristics and photograph theth, and also to add to his already large Collections of Natural History and Botany, some of the rare speci mens found in this celebrated district. We were led by Mr. W. A. Carter, living -at Lhis place, he being a; pioneer in this region; in fact he is the first and only man who ever opened up by-relds in tliki valuable section of country. We traveied'up the valley for about twenty miles -over .a good solid road, -passing - broad grassy areas upon which fed vast herds of large line-looking, thorough-bred Americ9p-cattle, with a few of the long-horned 1 ,'n stock. l. 'On either side were rich,well-orate ed re meadows, which, although mowed closely less than a month ago, had grown a second crop of line grass. Here and there grew bunches of wild flax, from which we could pluck strand and easily twist into cords, proving what might be done by cultivation and Ole aid of machinery. As we ascended and rbacheij L 143 more ele vated regions we were enveloped fin a snow storm. The feather,y flakes tell thick and fast , for more than an hour, enough to cover both the ground and ourselves, and remind us that "Jack Frost" still survived, and that we were encroaching on his slimmer domain. On en tering the wooded section we passed several saw-mills, where were piled large quantities of well-seascmed lumber, the neighboring woods scarcely showing from whence it had been taken. Ascending, our route lay through dense forests; interspersed every few miles with parks or open spaces, alive to twenty acres in area, each with a lake in its centre, around which grew the most luxuriant grass, covering the, space to its edges, which were generally eneit- sled with the' quaking asps, their white birch- . like bark contrasting with the dull brown of the pines. Ilaving ascended over nine thin t sand feet aboye the level of the sea. we pitched our tents in a second snow storm, and pre pared for the night. Whilst here NVo made several trips to the peaks, blazing our bridle path through. the ,dense thither, biting com pelled, in many places, to dismount and lead ..ma horses ; lingering, returning, by sunset, and often later, when we lent to push our horses in order to see the markings which led us' oh our narrow, and circuitous route.

COMMUNICATION. TO the Editor of the Evening Bulletin: I pre sume that all 'classes .of oatcitizenst:-Whatever `be their politics—ardthdroughly agreed, at least upon one point, - viz., therteceSsity of improving the mode of paving the. streets.. Is there a set of - people within the scope of your know ledge so bard to move out of their'accustomed track, or-so hard to convince of an inirioventent as are the citizens of Philadelphia? For . years past the *retched condition of our pave ments---both streets' and,-,sidewalks—has been the subject of earnest'' discus „!sion in our daily • papers ; but little, - -if anything has thus far been really done to wards an improvement. While we have slept, our young sister cities of the West have been going rapidly ahead of us in:this matter. Any _one..wbo_has visited Cineinnatiist,_ Louis, Chi cago, &c., can readily testifyto .. this.: •It is said that "habit is a second natur ;” this would really seem to kw, , erilied in o r ownparticular case, in relation -4 10 the - old-fashioned cobble stone pavements, for we have'grown sosfamiliar with the shocking condition of Our thorough fares that the annual ? Spring uptvriting of our old friends, the cobble,-stenes,: by the frost seems to- us. .about as natural and proper as the tuning ` out of a crop of potatoes by the plough in.4ptumn. Rik now, however, this matter is exciting a greater interest in our corninuMtY-than it haS mr - flpne.,hgraw, 7 :We aie all , espedially - in-- - terested'uThaveournoble thoroughfare,Troad ,street, paVed_in4 such a be.autiftil and..perma ment manner,-as-shall be Worthy. of what is destined to become one of the finest boulevards in the.world. • ' • . • Some months ago, an effort was made to secure the attention of °fir citizens tii - thii sith ject, by convening a public meeting at the Academy of Music, under the auspices of the Citizens' Association and the Broad, Street Im provement League. A number_ of forcible speeches were made ,on that occasion by some of our first citizens; and a strong set Of. rese ll-Ai-Mr—was -passed,,,pledghag,-AlidividuaLank ' united action in the premises ; hilt, so Tat, ti e street remains in statu quo. When and ho ~ , .1 Messrs. Editors, is this truly important mattir to be accomplished ? It would appear that there are really .only two other Materials suitable for 'paving streets, after rejecting the cobbles, viz: wood and e.s phultuln. In—relation to the iormer, we have had thus far but a limited experience in our oirr own city. Id the minds of most persons, the idea Of a Wooden pavement is 'synonymous with the .Nieolson pavement; but this is an er ror, since there, are many- p varieties .of the wooden pavements, each claiming some ad vantage over its.cdmpetitors. - The most valid objection against a wooden, pavethent is its al leged liability to rot, and;consequently, togi‘e way after a` few 'years' usage. Now, from the ruanner.in which these pavements are laid, the process of decay can only occur" (or at lbast . be commenced) underneath,: where the wood comes in contact with the moist subStrattan. In one variety of wooden pavement—the Millar—this difficulty is; ' I think, pretty ellee tually.auarded'againstlby having the -floor of boards, ' upon which the blocks rest, preykitlL impregnated with a chemical fluid, whielayro tects the material- from either wet or dry rot. I believe this to be a very superior variety of .wooden pavement. it is the kind that has lately been laid down on West Green street, at the expense of the property °micr and that affords so much gratification to'ClAi numbers who drive over it on their way to the Park. The other material for paving is the asphal t Me, or, as it is sometimes called, the conc,•eie. The original pavement of this sort was made from the native, Trench or Seqsul asphalt. This is the material . from which the elegant boulevards (both street and sidewalks) of Paris, and many other European cities, ate p A ved. . Those of your readers who have visi ted the capitals of Europe within-the last fif teen or twenty years, will doubtless call to mind the magnificent smooth sire-I of those cities, over which 'the vehicles glide without, either noise or dust, and the Pedestrian walks with an even and secure footing. Most of the attempts to imitate the French asphalt pavements have hitherto proved a mis yable failure,owing to a deficiency in the hard less of the concrete employed, whereby -the navernent, becomes soft and stickey in the hot! —weather.atrd thus degenerates into a filthy and intolerable nuisance. Such was the material put down by some jobbees, a year or two ago, on the splendid Fifth avenue, New York, but which became such an abdminable nuisance; from the cause just mentioned, as to lead - to its entire removal. Samples of a similar ma terial have occasionally made their appearance in our own city ; one of which will be remem bered as being laid • on the lower part of Vine street, , a year or so ago . ; and anetlwr opposite the State house row a few years since. It has, however, lately been - announced that, tinder:lgnite axecent_patent, a_ new kind of asphalt has been prepai.ed, termed the " vidcanitd," from the . fact that, by the skillful use of sulphur, (as in the vulcanizing of India rubber), so great a degree of hardness is imparted to the concrete on cooling that it does riot in the least soften by the most intense heat of summer; neither is it at all distArtied -- 1 by the frosts of winter. Specimens of this vulcanite pavement have, I have been in formed, been laid upon onr City l'ark.last fall, which gave such great satisfaction to the Com- ' missioners that they have authorized a consider- , able additional quantity to be laid. A number of our citizens have used it likewise fOr their sidewalks and for the floors Of factories, foun dries, &c., where it has been Antoci to be so film and durable as to he preferred evrql to the Belgian blocks. • Among others I have inspected a sample of this valeanite at the Baldwin Locomotive Works, on North Broad stwet, where it is said to give complete satisfaction. I also learned that several thousand square yards of the, same pavement have latelHeen-laid upon Lho drives and walks at Swarthmore. ' -- (Friends') College, neat' Media. . Whatever mode of paving shall be adopted,. will, it is presumed, depend upon the decision of Councils, influenced, it is hoped, by. au impartial comparison of the ditlinent varieties submitted to their judgment. I would simply state, in conclusion, that a gentleman recently returned from St. Petersburg, Itussitt, giVes the information that the authorities of that city are now taking up then wooden pavements (on the ground of their decay and liabilit to take lire) and are , _substituting' the smooth asphaltum, as being both more durable and preferable on the score of health. • ) if—tt..woman in No; Orleans undertook to coNrldde a storekeeper, a few (lays ago, for in : pith .the rawhide upon the shoulders - , he very • properly , seized a hammer and split her .skull with 'it. —if a man's aim in this world be good, the chances are that he will miss lire iii the_noxt• —MiniSter Morton is but forty-seven years of age. . —Now a race of men with cloven feet is re ported as existing in Central Meicico.

Their mode of operation is as follows: . Circulars are issued to the drug trade in a given district, offering "litelmbold's Buchu" at a large reduction from wholesale, trade rates. • These circulars are dated from a given street and number in a' . city in the vicinity of the dis-, tricts thus covered. Many druggists located in small towns and by-ways are thus,..lnduce4 to order by mail, thinking that a.branch office for the genuine article - has •been established there. By the time I have. been informed of these nefarious transactions, and have placed my de tectives on the watch for the rascals, tley have made their harvest and flown to other and more distant pointsto repeat the trick, and impose upon the public. I find also that their plan is to receive orders at-one town-and-fill_thent_at_another_and_quite_ different place, to avoid detection. In all this, however, the public would not be so muck in terested were the article supplied a genuine one, or in any way valuable. But the contrary is the fact.

THE WAR. Last s night's despatches contain the • f'Slow ,ing : - A telegram from 'Berlin reports thatt l l‘ing, William - has forwarded the following despatch to Queen Augusta, from h,is headquarters at Ferricies, under date of yesterday : "Early this morning the French , troops of the line wade a sortie againSt the trovs of the Sixth Prussian Corps, while the Prussian Fifth "' - e - Orps was attacked by three battaillons. At! the same time a brigade made a demonstration' against the Eleventh Corps. 'At The end of two hours_ the French took shelter under the guns of tire, forts The Crown Prince com manded the Pressians. WildIEL The Nell;;A'ork IluTald correspondent at Versailles writes from that city, via Bonen, on the :;Otli of September, the following account of the French sortie upon the Prussian forces : " The French, In heavy torce, made a sortie from the city, coming from the direction of Foils dissy and de Montroi,ge, on the south of Paris, and attacked the Prussian Sixth Corps, occupying the right of the army of the Crown Prince. At the same time another large force, said to have been under thetom 'nand of General Ducrot, advanced from the direction of St. Cloud, and assaulted the posi tion held by the Eleventh Army Corps, on the heights of Meudon, in front of this city. It will thus be seen that the French line Of ad , • vance extended from-the junction of the Seine and Marne ris'ers to St. Cloud, at the point of the deep bend of the Seine, between Forts de Vauves and Fort Mont Valerien. , •'A signal failure was the result of the move ment. 'The Crown Prince assumed immediate command of the troops. The French troops advancedsteadily upon the Prussians, under 'cover of a heavy tire of artillery. Pushing forward vigorously they struck the advance posts of the Prussian Sixth Corps, compelling them to fall hack upon the main line. This they immediately assaulted. After nearly (three hours of severe fig,hting, during which the Prussian lines remained unshaken, the French gave way before a heavy lire of artillery, and commenced retreating rapidly towards their forts,, • linmediately upon perceiving this retro grade movement, the Fifth 9 German Corps took the Offensive vigorously, following their retreat ing enemy. "As a result of the strogg4e, we 'have, first, the failure of the French to attain their object, and next the increased ability of thw Prussians to construct theowprks. The German loss is roughly estimated at between four and five „ _hundred. The loss of the French in killed and wounded cannot be ascertained, owing toThe fact that most of the Wounded were carried oil during the battle. The Prussians, however, captured over four hundred prisoners. Every day adds to the strength of the German posi tion around Paris." The Duke of Nassau was killed on Sept. 24, while riding with the King of Prussia and stair from Rheims to Chalons, for the purpose of conferring with Prince Frederick Charles. In the thickest part Of the woods there suddenly rang out'a double volley of musketry from au ambuscade of sharpshooters. The third car . • riage, containing the Duke and staff, was rid dled with bullets, and one aide-de-camp was instantly killed,another mortally wounded, and the Duke badly wounded. The fifth car . riage,-containing the King, was struck by several-bullets, but no one was hit. The woods were scourged by cavalry without any result,. • The Duke died on September 25." The National Guard now in active service at • Paris numbers ;11511.100 - men, and this immense force rapidly consumes the stipPlies of food on hand. M. Tissander, the it.apnatit, has already at .; rived at Tours from Paris. He publishes in • , the jeurnal.s . , an interesting narrative- of his balloon trip, and the situation of allitirs in rit the time he 'left. Ile started from that cit Prussins were - t a seen near Paris. Com plete 'Silence reigned about the city. There •.• were 'lto people to be seen on the roads leading - to the city, and no boats of any kind on the . river. On nearing Versailles the Prussians, were observed great numbers in camp. M. Tissander dropped among them great numbers of the proclamation' .of the governinent oftieerS; hail` been printed iir the German 'language' for that expreSS Purpose. The Germans opeireftrt sharp fire on the balloon, but the rangewasloo and no damage, was done:. On arriving over Landau, fifteen Mlles southwest of Mantes, the ' balloon began tollift, and 'M. Tissander was ' -obliged to throir out ballas,t aM. Tis Sander alighted on leaching an open spot favorable to his project, the balloon 11,:as properly • secured, and his letters, twenty-live thousand in num -I)er, were placed in sacks and taken to the poSt! office 'at Dreux. , whence they will be for warded in all directions wherever the jines of communication are interrupted. , Rirative to matters in Paris he says , :, ig The city is'ad mirably defended; more than five hundred thousand'soldiers are-behind the walls. These_ are well armed and.. disciplined.' 'rue firing froth the forts has been so accurate that the Prussians have been battled in their attempts to erect batteries. The city is perfectly tran quil ; nearly all shops are open as usual, and the , public squares are occupied by troops, which are th4re drilled and exercised. The 'bou levards next to the fortifications and Champ-de 1 I Mats i in the western part -of-the city, have- been given ; up to the ,Garde Mobile.' At 10 o'clock in the evening all the cafes are closed, and • a constant wjidcli kept throu'ghout the night." 1 . , The Officiel J urnal of the French Republic, lig' t.,r ' blialled a deer s - IV v thr qtr on Satuiilay nig pu led- a decree fixing the . time for the elect ou of the Constituent Assembly and prescribing the manner in which the elec tion is to beheld.

The New : YOrk Herald correspondent at Berlin, under date Of September 29, writes as follows: "An idea is strongly entertained and advocated here that the surrender of Strasbourg is likely to pr9dhce a complete change in the war „situation..i.J..am_ assured_ that Marshal "famine is willing to capitulate upon condition that Prussia agrees to aid him in his elffirts to restore the inwirial government and order in France. This done, the belligerents can agree , upon the terms; of peace. The idea, it is heL:; liered, meets the approval and support of all the imperialisttgenerals, the soldiers, and large majority of the bourgeoise and peasantry. Many well-informed persons, express a firm conviction that Napoleon, or his son, under the regency of the ;Empress Eugenie, will ShOrily, be resealed upon the throne of France. " A letter froth Wilhehnshohe reports the place as a.genq.ral . repdezyoua tr distinguished ii guests of tbe EmperorNapoleofT• The hotel hi the vicinity of the castle occupied by the im perial prisoners is crowded with visitors. Na poleon himself seems. to be iii perfect health. He 'does not betray arty apprehensions of the. future feMillrleS of his dynasty." An Arnerlcan Press Association despatch 'from Tours says: "The fdllowing despatch has been received from' Paris under date of Thtirsday: 'The Prussians at Meudon summoned Fort d'lssy to surrender, but the demand was promptly refused. The capitulation of Fort d'lvry upon the southeast, was also previously demanded, and therefore it is presumed these two forts from their supposed vulnerability will be the first ,points.agaiust which the Prussians will concen trate their attack:. They will, however, encottu ter a tremendous resi4ance. A reconnoissance upon the southwest', ( - )f,Par.is ; ; divlosed the Prussians at Versailles, EA - ow-lin up entrench ments and building cantonments & in evident preparation to remain in the vicinity tbroirgh the winter.- The otiL'ct of the recent sorties under the guns of Mont Valerien, were toldis lodge the Prussians from their works at Ver sailles, but the position iS too strongly gar risoned to be taken by assaults of infantry un protectected by, Strong batteries of artillery.' A Berlin despatch ...... ............ Br ttr,i ti, Oct::2:----Count Bismarck has been led to take cognizance of statements of his at tempt to force insulting sacrifices upon the French government. In an official circular he has made reply to a certain statement emanat ing from a staurce whicb.he deems worthy of noticing. Be ethpliatically denies -the purpose which has been imputed to him, of degrading France to the level of a Second-rate power, and forcing her to humiliating terms by the loss of territory and influence among nations. Count Bismarck concludes: In this affair Prussia is not actuated by motives of aggran dizement at the expense of her etietny,Fratice ; her object is the establishment, foundation and maintaineuce of gitarantees for her future,se curity against sudden invasion and attack. These she means to establish upon a perma nent basis, and they are demanded likewise by the unanimous voice of _the government and. people of Germany, who look to the-provision of better boUndaries as a protection against dangers and violence. Priissia will accordingly defnand future safety and territorial security for herself as a recompense for her exertions in this war. CYMOUS NATIURAL PHENOMENON, Mirage In the British Channel. Mr. Thomas Waring gives in The :.I.leteVo kgical ilogazine the following description of a mirage of unusual splemVE - • The party on board my yacht Hadassah, her passage from Alderney to Guernsey, Wit nessed a phenomenon so strikibg, and in these latitudes so rare, that I am tempted to Send you a short account of it. The wind was from E. N. E., the sky cloudless, the sun very hot, and the barometer steady - at - - There had been some signs of fog in the moruing,bitt they had disappeared. At about 3.30 in tile afternoon we observed over the small island of Bernie a peculiar hazy reflection, whibli became more and more defined, until it pre sented an exact inverted image of-hie land beneath. A similar effect was soon visible round the whole horizon. The islantia Alderney, Guernsey, jersey, Sark - iind Her*, seemed raised to more than twice their height ; sharp-pointed, out-lying reciis were capped with inverted images of theiuselteS; apparently, balanced upon them, point to point, like enormous rocking stones. The Or 4 taeh rocks, of which we had previously:lost sight, were now to be seen with, startling clearness iu the air. The Casquetes, with its three light-houses, presented a Most curious appearance. The light-houses 'Were drawn out into colossal pillars, on whosb summit rested a liege mass of rock, clearer in the gilt= line than the real island beneath. Ships were seen sailing keel upward through the ' airs every sail and spar distinct, and iu some citifies the images were reduplicated. Several of the vessels thus reflected were below the horizefir and invisible -to us. The northern enC'of Guernsey, where 'the, land runs low, We e ., , i twice reflected in thb air so distinctly that even those who were familiar with the Wand found it hard to resAgniie it. We seemed to be, looking at soot half-merged country; where countless still lagoons were divided from each other by narrow strips of land. As we neared Guernsey the- picture became: lesS distinct, hut meanwhile the mirage was be.:' coming more wonderful still over Alder ne.'". - Hero the deep-marked 'cliffs 'were magni fied $ o an apparent bight of many hundred feet, and no scene-painter devising a grand transformation scene ever dreamt of more fascinating groups of basaltic colutuns, grot toes and rock arches, with the tide flowing be neath, than was;exhibited by the" island, and the isolated stacks around it. Having. re- Maiued visible for more than three hours, the panorOma of wonders gradually fatted away; and by 7 ori'clock the horizon was clear, save whore a dark narroWline . 01Ond - Or mist hungTow in the northeast. I may add, for the-information of weather prophets, that this unusual state of the atmosiihere was not the forernianer of high wind,or any change in the weather. • —Norfolk; Va., wants to find the man able to swallow an oyster 22 inches long, which, it Las produced., , . —Thackeray said : "I think 7 Would rather have had a potato and a friendly word from Goldsm4h, than to Lave Leon beholden to Dean ,Wft for a guinea anal), ctinuor.
