A CURIOUS EXHIBIT.
)ue of tho most curious of the re
it arrivals iu the Agricultural Buil
12 was received and placed in posi-
a in Iho Oregon department ycsler
f. It is a chart about twenty-two
t long and two and a half feet wide,
senting in unbroken lines tho com
jte history of man, including tho
cord of every nation from the Garden
Eden to tho Present. Upon tho
lie adopted tho nations, empires,
ngdoma, republics and States ; tho
inners, customs and dress ; the prog
ss, civilization and discoveries; the
ention of steam.electricity, mechan
I the introduction of letters, the
ogress of language, the spread of lit
ature; the names, nationalities and
tinguitthing characteristics of emi
mt men ; the names and dates of all
iportant battles, discoveries and in
mtions ; the rise and fall of ancient
apircs, dyoueties and peoples; the
noes of all the sovereigns, emperors,
ings, mlers of the earth and the da
ition- of their authority ; the area,
opulation, and the number to the
juare mile to eacli country, with an
netome of ancient and modern histo-
y, togethor with a fae simile o( ancient
oins, medals, stones, monuments, obe
isks, and pyramidi of Egypt, Syria,
Hneveh, and Babylon ; of implements
f wariaro ana Husbandry, aipnaoeu
al letters and hieroglyphics ; raythol
cr tho cods, temples, and pneBts ;
if ecology the stono age, the iron age,
he brass or bronzo ; of navigation
;he compass, the galley, and the clip
er shin : of astronomy the size, the
liBtance, and number of heavenly bod
ies are 11 given in their proper sys
tematic relation to the world's history,
As the atlas shows the place where, bo
the chart shows the time when, and
the relative position of ono event to
another. In this work the author evi
dently docs not assume to be responsi
ble for the facta of history, but gives
thorn simply as they are found on rec
ord in the several histories of the va
rious nations of the earth. Every
student of histofy has experienced tho
difficulty attonduig the etlort to elimi
nate the salient facs of general history
from the voluminous network of sub
ordinate facts and details with which
they seem inevitably entangled. With
out something of this kind to assist iu
separating the important facts of his
tory from the confused ideas and jum
ble of nuconnected facts, can wa nope
: to make accurate progress in under
standing the full record of our race?
This chart shows what is going on at
tho same time, the world over, in all
the nations. One of the chief features
of this work is what iB termed syn
chronism, for here we find, without the
loss of several hours at a general libra
ry, that tho founding of Troy and
" Athens were contemporaneous with the
Egyptian bondage and the founding of
Thebes by Cadmus. These also occur-
. red at tho time of the first introduction
of letters, with the Israelites iu the
wilderness, the building of the largest
pyramid by Cheops, and the reign of
Buul, tho first King of the Jews; Zo
roaster, the Persian philosopher, and
llesiod, tho Greek poet. We learn at
a glance that when Solomon was writ
ing his Proverbs, that Homer was writ
ing his piece of ancient Troy; that
Lycurgus, the Spartan lawgiver, who
made iron a legal tender, and had pub
lic tables to which all were invited,
and abolished all theatres and luxu
ries, lived at the same time as Queen
Dido, the founder of Carthage, and
that when Isaiah was prophesying
Romulus was founding Kome ; that
rythaeorus, who invented the forty-
sine problems and tho multiplication
table, lived contemporaneous with So
lon who revised the bloody laws of
Draco, and JEsop, who wroto ' those
wie and witty fables, and Nebuchad
nerzer, who took the Jews captive, and
the prophets Ezckicl and Daniel of sa
cred hid lory j that Cinnatus, the Rom
an patriot; that Pericles, the great
Athenian statesman ; Herodotus, the
father of history ; Xerxes, Socrates
and Ezre ; Plato, Xenophen aud Mal
achi lived at tho same periods of time.
Tl:is chart is simply a most unexpected
illustration of the benents ot object
teaching, and it had been in place less
than half an hour, yesterday, when it
was surrounded with visitors. It ia
the first thing of tho kind ever at
tempted in this country or in Europe,
and it is rather a curious fact that a
resident of tho dktant Stato of Oregon
should bo tho exhibitor. Philadelphia

The following is an extract from a de
scription of Vineland, published in tho
New York Tribune, by the well-known
Agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All tho farmers were of the "well to do"
sort, and somo of them, who have turned
thoir attention to fruits and market gard
ening, havo grown rl;h. Tho noil is loam,
varying from aandy to clayey, and surface
gently undulating, intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which depofita of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertilise the whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted of its
natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive
fortilo tracts, iu an almost level position,
and suitable condition for pleasant farm
ing, that we know of thiu side of tlLeWost
ern prairie. We found somo of tlie old
est farms apparently just as profitably
productive iw when first cleared of forest
iifl v or a hundred years ago.
Tho geologist would booh discover the
cuuso of tins continued fertility. Tlie
w hole country is a inariue depot.it, and all
through tho awiil we found evidences of
calcareous Nubstauces, generally iu tho
form of LnduriUod ciUcareoua iiunl, show
ing niuiiy diHlinct i'orius of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation! and this marly
Kuhstanoo is scattered all through the soil,
in a very comminuted form, and in tho

3d. The elothos aro made Sweet, Clean
