The Dead Sea and lho Cities of thc Plain
In the Old Testament scriptures, thero is
un account of 'the utter overthrow and des
truction of certain cities, the inhabitants of
Which aroused 'the Divine. vengeance. It
has always been a.favorite theory with ma
ny 'Moderns, thtit the Mad Sea covered the
site of the citj s of : Sodom and Gomorrah,
and, unless We i err in our. recollections,
Lieut. Lynch gave that opinion an empha
tic endorsation. Indeed, our gallant officer
had no doutirthat he found Mrs. Lot, who,
We 'aid fold, was transformerrinto a pillar of
Silt; for looking back as she ran.
. A book has just been published in Eng
land, and we presume will soon appear in
this country which will dive the quietus to
the popular ideas on this subject. It seems
that Monsieur de Sculley; a member of the
French institute, Could not coincide in opin
ion. with
,yie popular notions of the over
'throw of the cities of the plain ; regarding
heir) as unauthorized by the scriptural his
tory of that event. His desire to vindicate
the correctness of his views induced him to
'visit the Holy Land. Accordingly, he left
for the scene of his labors in ISSO, being
ijecompanied by his son, by the Abbe' de St. 1
IVlichen, arid several intelligent friin.ds. In
that and the following year, lie pursued his
archecalogical explorations' with the happi
est, results.
He was abundantly supplied with means,
'and having secured a strong body guard of
infantry and cavalry, he was enaLled to pro
'ceed with his mission without danger, from
the momadic tribes of Arabs. He directed
his attention, first, to a careful examination
of the Dead Sea. Beneath the stinking
waters of this remarkable sea, popular tra
dition had located Sodom and Gomorrah.;
tut he was soon convicted, that, like the ap.
Ales which were once believed to grow upon
its borders, the popular idea hnd no founda
tion in fad. •
But he found the cities of the plain, and
rode among their ruins. His eyes looked
upon their widely extended remains, bear
ing even now, the marks of that terrible
visitation—"fire from Heaven"—which con
sumed and destroyed them. Upon the
shores and in the vallies where they origin
ally stood, this French savant discovered
their blackened ruins.
It is surprising that they have not been
sooner discovered. The Holy. Land has
been a• point of interest with all travelers
and explorers in all times. From the cru
sades until the present hour, men have flock
ed thither and trodden the land more full of
sublime memories than any other portion of
this babbling earth. •
But we easily account for the failure to
discover these relics of the olden times.—
Men have always visited the Dead Sea, and
as they looked upon its sluggish, salt wa
ters, have regarded them as shutting up in
darkness the cities accursed of Heaven.—
Hence do traveler has sought after the cities
of the plain, and it has been reserved for the
French savant of the present day to bring to
light this strong confirmation of the Old
Testament records.
We trust that our A:nerican booksellers
will soon give to the American public, the
results of Monsieur de Sauley's researches.—

Horrible Case of Parental Cruelly.
The following horrible case of parental
cruelty is detailed in the St. Louis 'Weill
gencer of the sth inst. It says shock
ing case of this character came under the
observation of Mr. Brown, County Coroner,
day before yesterday. The parties are a
Oerinan and his wife, and a little girl be
itween • two and three years of age, who is
his child by a former wife. They live near
ithe,Carondelet road, a few miles: below the
Mr. Brown had heard on several oc
casions fromithe neighbors of the German,
-of the ananner in which he and his wife
.were accustomed ,to indulge towards her ;
:and on Thursday liewent to their house to
ascertain the facts for himself. Be found
ithexhild very week and ill, lying on a bed
-upon the floor. Her whole body was al
most black with bruises and marks of pin
ches she had received, and seemed to be
both ill-fed and ill-clothed. •She betrayed
extreme fear of sight of her father and step-
Another, and screamed with terror when cite
‘er of them approached. Mr. B. was inform
ed that the .father had further practised a
means of torture which none but the most
unnatural malice could have devised, and
'that when drunk he had been known to take
the child's tongue with his fingers, pull it
with force, and cut it repeatedly with a pair
of scissors. His neighbors had resolved to
take the child from him, ;Ind did so perhaps
on yesterday. They had . also determined
to-procure the arrest and prosecution of the
unnatural parents.
THE CLAWSON HE11181111..--We mention
ed some time since a rumor that the wife of
the liev. Sue' Clawson. of Virginia, had
fallen heir to an immense ,fortune in Eng
land.i.. The IVeston (Va.) Herald says the
facts of tho.case are as follows:
"There ,was originally the sum of thirty-
Six millions of dollars, the estate of the Earl
of Lancester, in England, and upon the death
of the Earl and his brother, a dispute arose
between the House of York and the House
of Lancaster, (institated by the former, be
cause of sit intermari inee between the two
houses,) the House of York suing for the
heirship. Thei suit was protracted, from
the lower to the higher courts, from fifty to
n hundred years, and:wee finally decided at
the Exchequer, (th'erQrieeti'sEbnch,) in fa
vour of the House of Lancaster. After this'
decision; - advertisements were- „
Scattered
abroad over the world for the heirs of the
Lancaster estateland • the mother of Mrs.
Clawson, wife ,of Rev. Samuel Clawson, is
one of the .heirs.,.,4ttorneys are employed
by the heirs to qocuril iheivinterests,and it
is supposed that the whole aflair will be set
tled up during this ,minter, when thei heirs
will receive theirportions. The above sum,
of thirty-siig millions , has been at interest for
more than
.sixty-six years, which
.interest

A Yankee Colonist.
In one of the last letters from Bayard
Taylor, dated at Macao, China, he describes
a visit of Commodore Perry to the Bonin
Isles, lying about 600 miles in a southerly
direction from the Bay of Yedo, discovered
by the Japanees 2i centuries ago. He says
"The oldest inhabitant, who probably exer
cises a sort of authority in cases of dispute,
is a natiyo,of.Massachusets, named Savory.
who has been on the island since 1931, and
is considered the richest of the settlers.—
His money has been principally. made by
sweet potatoes to whaling ships. at
the rate of two dollars a barrel ; in addition
to which he has a still, and manufactures
rum from' sugar-cane. At the time of our
visit he had two hogshead of it, which was
said to be of excelleht quality. The popu
lation is continually floating, with the excep
tion of four or five persons who were among
the original settlers of the island. Sailors
from whaling vessels -frequently desert and
remain a year or two, after which they em
bark again. The whalers are mostly
American, and, according to the settlers,
generally conduct themselves peaceably.'
It was on this island that Commodore
Perry purchased from Mr. Savory a tract of
land, at Port Lloyd, intended as a coal sta
tion for our Pacific Steamers. This tract,
Taylor says, 'has a front of 1,000 yards on
the water, and extends across the island to a
small bight on the northern side, which was ,
named Pleasant Bay. *The location is ad- 1
[ninthly adapted to a coaling Elation for
strainers, since a pier fifty feet long would
strike wttter deep enough to float the largest
vessel. If the United States Government
will establish such a line, as it is in duty
bound to zio, the intermediate stations are
thus already secured, whatever may be the
issue of the expedition to Japan. The soil
of Peel Naiad is of the richest vegetable
mould, and -might be made to produce abun
dant supplies, while its mountain streams
furnish a never-failing source of excellent
water.'
