lation of 27,489,461. Of the 84,090 foreigners in England and Wales 73,500 were Europeans, 9500 Armeniaus. 500 Africans, and 500 between Asiatics and natives of other countries. Of the 73,500 Europeans, 30,000 were Germans, 13,000 were French, 5500 were from Holland, 4500 from Italy, 5000 from Norway and Sweden, 5000 from Russia and Poland, 2000 from Spain and Portugal, 2000 from Belgium, and 2500 from Denmark, and about 1000 from Greece and Turkey. Fully one-half of the foreigners in England and Wales are located in London. Of the total number of foreigners in this country, 57,000 are male and 27,000 females; and of the 73.500 Europeans, 13,000 were under twenty years of age.-Leisure Hour.

Discovery of a Temple of Juno at Pompeii-Mention was lately made of the discovery at Pompeii of a temple of Juno, with more than three hundred skeletons. Those remains, which crumbled to dust by degrees as they were brought to light, were those of women and children who had been buried beneath the burning ashes thrown out by the volcano at the moment in which a sacrifice was being offered up in the temple to the Queen of the Gods, no doubt to implore her to avert the terrible calamity which menaced the city. To the arm of one of those skeletons, which, from the rich jewels with which it was covered, is supposed to have been that of the high priestess, was still attached, by a gold ring, a censer of the same metal filled with calcined perfumes. This vessel is of the form of those now used in the ceremonies of Catholic churches, and is of excellent workmanship and inlaid with precious stones. The statue of the goddess is one of the most magnificent relics yet found in that city; its eyes are of enamel, and on the neck and arms, as well as at the ankles are jewels and bracelets of precious stones of, the most exquisite finish and elegance of form. The peacock placed at her side is almost entirely composed of precious stones. The tripod before the altar, is like the censer held by the high priestess magnificently worked gold. The temple also contained lamps, artistically chased, of bronze, iron, silver and gold; branches of foliage, vine stems, interspersed with flowers and fruit of the most beautiful form. The space around the altar is paved with splendid mosaics in excellent preservation, and the rest of the temple is inlaid with small triangular blocks of white and purple agate. The spot on which the sacrifices were made is alone paved with marble. All the instruments used on the occasion were still lying on a bronze table, and the sacred vases were filled with a reddish matter, which is supposed to have been blood.

The Peaks and Valleys of the Alps.-There is to be seen at the German Gallery a series of drawings, by Elijah Walton, made with a view of describing certain of the most rugged features of the Alps, with the effects under which they occasionally present themselves. The subjects are not brought forward as landscape studies, but we are led up to the time-worn granite of the mountain side; told to look up, and challenged to deny that the colors we see are those of the morning and evening phenomena of the Alps. In "Mont Blanc, as seen above Col d'Anterne," the mist and color are so remarkable as to look exaggerated; but in

all mountainous countries such appearances present themselves, though different in degree according to the height and character of the mount ins. To persons who have not seen the hues of an Alpine sunset, the brilliant and tender pink color here assumed by the snowy peaks may seem fanciful, but it is perfectly true. Among these views are--"The Mer de Glace," "Near Courmayeur," "The Dent du Midi," "The Dent du Midi, Valley of the Rhone," "The Viso from the South and East," &c. Many of the same views have been given by photography, whereby the textures may have been more faithfully rendered, but color and certain effects can not be described by such means.-Art Journal.

Number of Words in Use.-We are told, on good authority, by a country clergyman, that some of the laborers in his parish had not 300 words in their vocabulary. The vocabulary of the ancient sages of Egypt, at least as far as is known to us from the hieroglyphic inscriptions, amounts to about 685 words. The libretto of an Italian opera seldom displays a greater variety of words. A well-educated person in England, who has been at a public school, and at the university, who reads his Bible, his Shakespeare, the "Times," and all the books of Mudie's library, seldom uses more than about 3000 or 4000 words in actual conversation. Accurate thinkers and close reasoners, who avoid vague and general expressions, and wait till they find the word that exactly fits their meaning, employ a larger stock; and eloquent speakers may rise to a command of 10,000. Shakespeare, who displayed a greater variety of expressions than probably any writer in any language, produced all his plays with about 15,000 words. Milton's works are built up with 8000; and the Old Testament says all that it has to say with 5642 words.--Prof. Mar Müller.

English and French Orators.-"The illustrious orator, M. Berryer, is obliged to sell his property of Augerville, where he has spent so many years of his private life. Lord Brougham, it is said, contemplates purchasing that property, not however, with the intention of dispossessing its former owner, who would continue to live as hitherto on his little domain. An act of this kind would be as honorable to the former Lord High Chancellor of England as to the great French orator."

The

Two Kings.-The two kings of Siam have been "decorated" by the Emperor Napoleon. The French Consul at Bangkok, M. Aubaret, by command of the Emperor, Conferred the ribbon of the Legion of Honor upon the kings, and the diplomas being considered as the Emperor's autographs were saluted by twenty-one guns. A procession of boats, laden with soldiers in every variety of costume, and having royal war elephants on board, was striking and picturesque. kings wore crowns of diamonds and the insignia of the order. At the foot of the throne the princes of the royal family and high dignitaries of the crown remained during the ceremony prostrated on magnificent carpets. After a state dinner the kings requested M. Aubaret to transmit their letters of thanks to his Majesty, accompanied by the insignia of the order of the White Elephant, a royal ring and scarf, also three diamond and ruby bracelets to the Empress.

should be such as will produce not a red or green, but a purplish black print. Plain Saxe paper is used, and the above solution is brushed evenly over its surface with a clean tuft of cotton wool. After it has been dried in the dark, it is exposed to light under a positive photograph or drawing, with which it is in close and even contact. When the image thus printed is distinctly visible, it is subjected to the action of the aniline vapor, either by placing the proof fastened by wafers upon a plate of glass over a flat-bottomed porcelain dish, containing a sheet of bibulous paper, and about a drachm of the aniline, such as is commonly sold in shops, or by so placing the paper in the bottom of a box that the aniline vapor descends instead of ascending. If the completion of the development leaves the picture of a dingy buff or orangecolor, it may now be whitened by simple washing in plain water. The fixing is accomplished by placing it for a few minutes in water to which a few drops of sulphuric acid have been added, after which it is washed and dried.-Popular Science.

Irish Limestone Caverns.-At a late meeting of the Cork Cuvierian Society Professer Harkness, so well known for his investigations of Scottish rocks, announced the discovery of the bones of mammals in a limestone quarry at Middleton, Co. Cork. The rock consists of the ordinary limestone of the district, in one part much fissured, and under this fissured portion there is a mass of brown clay, the thickness of which can not be determined, as its base is not seen. This reddish brown clay under the limestone is the deposit which furnishes the fossil bones, and which, doubt less, fills the space that was once a natural grotto. Besides the bones, which are in a fragmentary condition, there are also present teeth and antlers. The latter are much broken, and do not afford sufficient character to enable the species to be accurately determined. They seem, however, to belong to two forms, one of which had the beam and branches smooth and sub-compressed, features which indicate the antlers of the rein-deer; and the other with the horns rounded and rough, a form of surface which marks the antlers of the common stag. Of these antlers two portions which Cattle Shows, Dog Shows, and Poultry Shows appear to belong to the rein-deer have been cut are now recognized institutions. But we notice while in the fresh state; and the faces of the cuts that an Insect show is to be held in Paris, being almost smooth, this cutting appears to have under the patronage of the Minister of Agriculbeen effected by a fine regular-edged instrument ture. It is to comprise two classes--the useful rather than by a serrated tool. The leg bones and the noxious. In the former will appear bees, which appear in this clay have all been broken, cochineal and gall insects, silk-worms, and so for the most part longitudinally, except the carpal forth, with their products, and the apparatus and and tarsal, and other small bones of the extremi-instruments employed in the preparation of those ties. This longitudinal fracturing of the long bones of the leg is not known to occur in any mammalian remains which belong to a period previous to that where we have evidence of the existence of the human race; and these broken bones afford evidence of the occurrence of man, who, for the purpose of obtaining the marrow, divided them in the direction most available for this object. Besides the evidence afforded by the cut antlers and longitudinally divided bones, there are other circumstances indicating the occurrence of man in connection with these remains; one of these is the presence of charred wood, which is equally disseminated through the clay with the bones and teeth. This charred wood is the remains of the ancient fires by means of which former human beings cooked their food.-Popular Science.

products. Among the noxious insects will be wasps, certain kinds of moths and flies, and others, with specimens of the mischief they occasion and accomplish. As usual, prizes are to be given to successful exhibiters, so we may expect to hear something further of this novel insect show. -Chambers's Journal,

Croton Point Vineyards. Dr. R. T. Underhill, the proprietor of these celebrated vineyards, has had long experience in the growth of grapes, and the preparation of the choicest native wines, pure, unadulterated, and of good age suited for medicinal purposes, and communion occasions; which on these accounts commend themselves to the confidence and patronage of the public. The Catawba. Isabella, and the dry

The Aniline Process.—This is a new process of printing, of a truly novel description, introduced by Mr. Willis. For rapidity and simplicity of working, and for cheapness of production, it is unequaled; but its applications are limited at present to the fac-simile reproductions of artists' drawings of every description, being very useful for reproducing large drawings such as engineers and architects produce, or the transferring of prints, photographs, old MS. music, maps, or artists' designs to the block, for wood-engravers. It will also be useful for decorators and photo-port wines expressed from the choicest fruit, graphic colorists. The sensitizing solution is as follows:

mellowed by an age of several years, are particularly valuable for medicinal purposes, in the face of so many vile admixtures of wine by manufacturers from material which should subject their makers to an indictment for manslaughter. Dr. Underhill's wine store is in Astor Place, New York, where orders can be sent.
