Delhi, in India.
The seat of the new rebellion against
the British authority in India has a
melancholy history attached to it, cer
tainly for the lust six hundred years.
The Philadelphia Ledger says :
It ts supposed to have been a. capi
tal of some importance for more than
2,000 years. But it W:l4 not till the
year 1,000 that we first read of it as the
capital of Ilindoostan. Situated on the
Jumna, the most important branch of
the Ganges, as high up as latitude 2.'
deg., it must formerly have been one of
most beautiful as well as magnificent
cities in the world. Here, at the close
of the fourteenth century, Tamerlane,
the Tartar, entered with his merciless
army, and, seated on the throne of In
411a, received the homage of its princes
to his standard. After this it was
pillaged awl cruelly destroyed . . By de
grees it partially recovered, and, in,
1647, Shah Jehan, the grandson of Ac
bar, removed the seat of his empire back
from Agra to Di.dhi . . ./ Here he built, on
the banks of the river, a noble castle
and palace, at the cost of above f.t1,000,-
000,i inscribing on marble, in letters of
" If there be a paradise on earth,
this! is The gardens cost over
85,000,000.
Ow hundred years later, in 1735,
Nadir Shah, the Persian usurper, being
refused $150,000,000 fur the ransom of
the city, destroyed 100,000 of the inhab
itants, and collected more than double
that amount of booty. Since that time
it has been plundered time and again,
till little of its former magnificence re
mains. Instead of 2,000,01)0, the form
er population, there are now but about
300,000 inhabitants. Its affairs were
probably at the worst just before the
city was entered by Lord Lake, ever
since which the government has been
conducted nominally by the King of
Delhi, but really by the English resi
dent. There is there a College with
470 students, a printing-office and an
observatory. Now the news comes
that all the Europeans have been mas
sacred.
The reigning family, we believe, still
boasts its lineal descent from the house
of Taiuerlane.—These princes have long,
however, been quite impotent, and de
pendent upion the bounty and protec
tion of the British government, especial
ly since the defeat of Bowlub Bow
Ocinda, in the neighborhood.
It is no doubt with a view of appeal
ing to the historical associations con
nected with'the former greatness of the
city and province of Delhi, that the re
volting regiments have seized this city,
where ruins, extending twenty miles
each way, remind the citizens of the
despoiled splendor of their former
capital.
Haw to do More litesineas.—lt was in
the midst of the coldest spell of last
winter, when the boatmen of Cincinnati
had nothing to do but try to keep warm
over the fire in the groggories to which
they did most resort, when a party of
them were hugging the stove in a store
near the Spencer House. In addition
to bad liquor the storeman kept lamp
oil arid other truck of the sort, and, was
drawing it into a half gallon measure,
as " stuttering Ben," who was toasting
his, shins, and observing that the oil
merchant did not more than half fill the
measure, called out to him—" Jim, I
can t-t-tell you how t-t-to sell t-t-twice
as much oil as you do now."
6i Well, how?" growled Jim.
" F-f-till your m-m-measure'."

English Wealth and Ltta-nri-
manes&
Some of our New York Fifth avenue
swells make very respectable attempts
to do the" palatial " in their houses and
style of living, and put forth ambitions
efforts to imitate English country seats,
in the possession of what the English
would call a "snug box " on tho Hud
son river, and ten, twenty, or a hundred
acres. An account before us, of the
luxurious style of living among the
English aristocracy, throWN our particia
lie pretenders considerably into the
shade:
About sixty miles from London, is
the estate of the Earl of Spencer, which
comprises ten thousand acres divided
into parks, meadows, pastures, woods
and gatilens. his library contains fifty
thousand volum^s, and is said to he the
finest private library in the world.
The Duke of Richmond's home farm
consists of 23,000 acres, or over 35
Niptare miles, and this in crowded Eng
land, which has in all an area of only
50,000 square miles, or just 32,000,000
of acres, giving, were the land divided,
but two acres to each inhabitant. The
residence of the Duke is fitted up with
oriental magnificence. Twenty-five race
horses stand in his stables, ea c h under
the care of a special groom. The dish
es and plates upon the table, are all of
porcelain, silver and gold. Ills aviary
is supplied with almost every variety of
rare an , l elegant birds, and largo herds
of cattle, sheep and deer, are spread
over the immense lawns.
The same authority from which we
gather these facts says that the Duke
ot• Devonshire's pa►lac•e, at Chatsworth,
excels in nia!mitivenee any other in the
kingdom. lie spend•+ the whole of his
enormous income. In the grounds
about the house are kept four hundred
head of cattle and fourteen hundred
deer. The kitchen garden contains
twelve acres, And is filled with almost
every species of fruit and vegetables.
A vast arboretum connected with this
estvNishment, is designed to contain
sample of every tree that grows.
There is also a glass conservatory-, 387
feet in length, 112 in breadth, 67 in
height, covered by 76,000 square feet of
glass, and warmed by seven miles of
pipe, convening• hot water. One plant
was obtained from India, by a special
messenger, and is valued at $lO,OOO.
One of the fountains, near the house,
plays 276 feet high, said to be the high
est jet in the world. Chatsworth con
tains 3,500 acres, but the Duke owns
96,000 acres in the county' of Derby
shire. Within the entire is one vast
scene of paintings, beulpture, mosaic
work, carved wtou-scotting, and all the
eleancles and luxuries within the reach
of almost-boundless wealth and highly
refined taste.
Five-sixths of the soil in England is
divided among scarcely thirty thousand
proprietors. There are twenty-nine
bankers in London, whose transactions
yearly embrace six or seven hundred
millions sterling. This is one side of
the picture. The struggles between
capital and labor are fourful—the rich
always becoming richer, and the Poch
poorer. Three hundred thousand per
sons die of famine in a year (?) and three
hundred thousand voluntarily emigrate,
to escape the same dismal doom.—
Richmond Dispatch.
The Temperature of .Soils Increased by
Drainage.—ln a Report of a Committee
of the Royal Agricultural Society of
England, who examined the soil of
Robert Clutterbuck, Esq., of Hine worth,
Hertz, drained by Mr. Bailey Denton,
we find the following paragraph. On
the point of temperature of soils drain
ed and andruined, Mr. Denton's tables
show a remarkable fact. It is thus :
"That whereas the undrainod land in
January exhibited a temperature as low
as 80° at 18 inches below the surface,
the drained land never reached so low
as freezing point at the some depth, al-.
though the temperatfire at the air above
was recorded as IG° below the freezing
point."
Elizabeth City county, Va., con
tains nearly 8000 inhabitants; there is
not a single family compelled, from pov
e\V, to depend on public charity for
support—a fact which speaks loudly in
favor of the industry of the people.
bar The Cincinnati Gazette states that
rat killing has become a staple amuse
ment of tbat city, 'which now contains
not leas than twelve public rat-pits, all
liberally patronized by terriers and men.
afirlt le better to be laughed at than
rained—better to have a wife who
cheapens every thing, and buys nothing
than to be impoverished by one whose
vanity will purchase everything, but
whose pride will cheapen nothing.
Selling a Husband.
A Rich Case .—Wo have frequently
heard Of husbands being "sold "—figur
atively—but we have now to record a
bona fide transaction of that nature,
which eclipses any thing of the kind
we over heard of: Charles Shroder was
arreKed by officer Baker, and brought
before Squire Frick , ehargtd with big
amy. Louisa Slimier, the first wife of
defendant, alleged that herself and hus
band had been living apart for sonic
time, and that she was just becoming
tired of her lonely lot when it came to
her knowledge that her " liege lord "
who also became tired of the same des
olate lot of single blessedness—had
united himself in the bonds of wedlock,
with Miss Buideti,-a pretty little bru
nette. Mina, it seems, was keeping
house for a man who has been absent
in the country for some time, and took
Slimier into the household us part and
parcel of the " institution," whoa their
connubial fecility was invaded by the
attachment in the hand of officer Baker.
Upon the hearing of the case, Squire
Frick cclmmitted Slim& r to prison,
which induced the two wives to hold a
consultation and effect some arrange
ment for his liberation. After a num
ber of plans and suggestions, the two
finally concluded upon an arrangement,
and at once proceeded to the Squire's
ofhee, The proposition was a bold one
and somewhat staggered the equanimi
ty of the -staid Squire. It was simply
this: That for and in consideration of
the sum of six dollars, good and law
ful money," the first wife of the impris
oned Shroder was to relinquish all right
and title to him, and then he was
henceforth to be the lawful property of
Mina only. The Squire, of course,
could not entertain the proposition, it
being against the statutes. Somehow
or other Shroder has been released, and
the parties consummated the above ar
rangement regardless of law or prece
dent —Lancaster Express.
The" Husband Gaspe."—A young and
very rich man in Cleveland, a few days
since, made the acquaintance of a bloom
ing married women in the street, and
called upon her at her residence "when
her husband would be down town." In
the midst of his joy the husband appear
ed, raved furiously, swore, presented
pistols, etc., and at the right moment
the wife fainted. The young man trem
bled and asked for life. The husband
relented, and agreed, after some parley
ing, to "settle" for $l3OO, which was
paid. Subsequently the victim told his
friends of the occurrence, and they caus
ed the arrest of the guilty couple, who,
becoming:alarmed, paid back $1250, and
were set free, both giving a release for
all damages to wounded honor (?)
.I,4)m:tot ires in the Gantry.—The num
ber of locomotives running in the Uni
ted States, says the American Engineer,
is prodably over 9,000. The propor
tion of engines to length of road will
average ono to every three miles—for
while some of the Western roads have
but one to every live or six miles, many
others, like the Erie,' New York Cen
tral, Baltimore and Ohio, etc., have
nearly one for every two- miles. The
Reading has about three engines for
every two miles.

KirThroe B:nail negres, belonging to
Mr. Dulin, near Falls Church, Fairfax
county, Va., were found dead on Friday

his barn. It is supposed, that, the no•

is quite deep, and being toolow to reach

Rare Old Wine.
We call wine old that the vintage of
fifty years ago produced. But it is now
and fresh compared with some that
Bayard Taylor sampled lately, oh a visit
to the celebrated Ratlis-kellerin Bremen,
which boasts an age of overSwe hundred
years. Its only merit, however, is its
age; ,and the aid of the imap,ditation is
required to make it "go doWn." A
less poetic traveller than our friend
Bayard, would hardly have emptied a
bottle of the staff, as ho did, and fancied
it delicious, merely because it was very
old. His account of the adventure in
the ancient wine-cellar is amusing, and
we copy it, that our renders who have
wino laid away in their cellars, to acquire
age,.may take warning not to keep it
too long :
"In the 'Rost Cellar' are enormous
casks,yet filled with Ilochheimer(l lock )
of thb vintage of 1624. For a couple of
centuries it was carefully treasnrt•d, but
the City Fathers of Bremen finally dis
covered that the longer if was kept the
worse it grew, and now sell it to visitors
in small bottles, at a moderate price.
"We sat down in one of the stalls in
the outer cellar, and had a bottle un
corked. Think of drinking wine which
grew when the Plymouth Colony was
about four years old—of the same yin
tage which Arios)
might have drunk,
and Milton, and e mwell, and Wallen
stein, and Gustavus; Adolphus ! Shake
speare had, been dead but eight years
when the grapes were trodden in the
vats; and Ben Johnson may have sung
his 'Drink to me only with thine eyes'
over a goblet of the golden juke. We
filled the glasses with great solemnity.
as these thoughts passed through our
minds—admired its dark, smoky color,
sniffed up reverently its musky, mum
my-like odor, and then tasted. Fancy
a mixture of oil and/vinegar, flavored
with a small drop of k-reosote! This,
as I afterward recognized, was the im•
pression made upon the palate, though
my imagination was too busy at the
time to be aware of it. We all said :
'lt is not so btul as I expected,' and, by
keeping the fact of its ago constantly
before oar eyes, succeeded in emptying
the bottle. So pungent, however, was
the smoky, oily, acidulous flavor, that
it affected my palate for full twenty-four
hours afterward, and everything I ate
or drank in that time seemed to be of
the vintage of 1824."

To Cook Salt Pork.—For the benefit
of those who, like ourselves, are obliged
to use considerable salt pork, the fol
lowing method is recommended, •by
which it is very much improved, es
pecially for frying : Cut as many slices
as may be needed, if for'breakfast, the
night 'previous, and soak till morning
in a quart or two of milk and water,
about one-third milk—skimmed milk,
if not too near souring, is beid; rinse
till the Water is elear, and then fry-. It
is nearly or quite as nice as fresh 'pork
—both the fat and the lean parts.-23.
