Non of 1851 wee bold, being largely of glans throagh which the light shines but not eci as to discern objects it reoeived at that time the name of the Cryetal Palaoe and which it atilt retains. 110 18 about eight miles from the contra of the Gay to go by railway and costs for return and &emission ono shilling and al:trance three flays in the week with higher roles for admission on the other days and on climatal ogee -alone with cheap rates for schools and excursion parties which eon always be arranged for. The ground on which the palace stands is 200 three in extent laid out by Sir Joseph Paxton, the designer of the original building, eartly in garden but largely as a park with walks, woods, water and fonnthine interspersed, The east iron oolumns all around the building are eight feet apart and are filled in with thick glass, its size being about 1600s300. In the inside the columns aro 24 feet &part, the spaces be- ing always divisible by eight. This nni• .formity melon it convenient for attach- ing the horizontal beams for earrying the galleries and giraers for sustaining the aoof which is in (grouter shape the top being 105 feet in height, except in what beetled the Great Iransept in whioli is tho great organ, hero the roof is nearly 100 feet higher. This part of the build- ing has four galleries the Ingheth of which is 158 foot from the floor but for fear of acci- dent visitors are not allowed to emend so high without epeeist permission. The mode part of the building has galleries about 08 feet high. The building is divided into courts. The first one is the Egyptittn, representing on a considerably smaller scale than the original, the ohiof feature* of that wonderful arehitectnre which so early in the history of Use world was developed on the banks of the Nile, There is a model of the temple at Rarnak with three rotes of pillars indeed oE eight as in the original one half tho real size. Along the wall are several statues of Bantams II., one of the great Phar. mita, who lived a oentury before David. In the same cond there is a painting of Shialaak striking down two of his enemies and the names of the tribes which they represent, all of which has beau &deli. ered by the learned. These two seetn to be nogroes but beside them is a more in- teresting figure whose nanse is read "Judah Melilla," that is kingdom of judata and the Weise of that kingdom is recorded as mentioned iu ist Kings, 14- 25 and in 2nd Canton., 12.2, a striking corroboration of the truth of holy writs. Amoug many other interesting objects is a model 1/10 the real size of an excavated temple situated high up on the let b bank of the Nile. Leaving the Egyptian court we get into that of Greeoe. It is a re- presentation of a market place but also used for festivals and public meetings end shows their renowned style of architecture, The pillars ars copied from those of the temple of Nomea, re- amed to one half the 812e of the origi- nals, On the frieze above the pillars are inseribed the names of great men of Greece. In the court there is a model of the world renowned building, the Parthe- non, 2/9 the real size, with casts of stab- ues from the best speoimens of Greek art. The paw of honor is occupied by the Venus of Milo, now in Paris, said to be the Remit statue in the world. Frotn Greece to Rome is less of a transition than from Egypt to Greece. The Roue. ,ans were melt of war, but they were also men of business and their art was largely formed on Greek rnodele and exeouted often by Greek artists, but they wore on the lookout for eomethingpeactioal • they were virtually the first who brougll't the swab into uommon use in their baths, triumphal arches, flowers and &aqueducts. In the merit are models of the Forum, the Colosseum and Pantheon as they crave in their pristine glory on a scale of 1 to tise foot, rather mall to form au adequate conception of these magnificent beildings, but there is a complete ex. ample, full size, of & house in Pompeii whioli for over 1000 years had been covered with the lava and althea of Mount Vesuvius, illusbrating the actual mode of life and °totems of the inhabitants of Souther* Italy. It receives a largo share el edentate and examination. The walls are decorated with paittinga, being tto- curate copies found in situ among the mins. In this mutt and its vestibules there is a collodion af statuea ef Dome's great ineu and of what ntay be called imaginative ones—the renowned Apollo Belvedere, Diana with the stag and °there too ntimerona to mention. Going out of the Boman -court one comes to that of tbe Atharabrit, the size of the real One at Granada. Ib is a portion of the greet pitleort which the Saracens erected during their otempetion of $pain and is in quite a different style from the previous ones ; this as light aud airy, with many colors so finely blended Nutt one cannot say wkioh prevails, The fountain, the columns, the arohee and the ornaments whith are arranged on the walls are °mot reprodu °lions from the eriginel and ibis seed are oolored in mot &mordants° thettewith. There aro other meets which I could only beery through, .albbougi 1 spent the whole day in the palehe. There is the tropical whieh la kept as nette as pmeible the year round at 7001 oE beat and with vegetation in its motet luxuriant forms.

In this court there is a collection of the nioet Wyatt writhe of Italy's groat peintere copied by the best English artists who weee aent specially to make them mealy for the Crystal Palace, It woeld be in the English demo:a-neat. Thoth aro oasts from the eerias of portrait statues, of the kings and (moons of England, execeted by the late Dir. Thomas for the Houses of leatliament and which are placed in different apartmente, hero they are al. together one after the other in regular suocession, many of them, et least the earlioet mos, like the portraits in Holy rood, owing considerable to the imagine - tion of the elitist. The most of them looked, in tbeir get up, every inch a king. Cromwell appectre among them but my impression is he does not in the Houses of Parliament. We mey Resume that his is a likeness, the feateres show strong and massive but the got tip is such as if be stept out of a drain ; his trousers drawn np above his long boots both full of wrinklee cannot be a tem representa- tion of the vaster of Naseby end Dunbar or the purchaser of the haffaelle car- toons, we may set it down that Cromwell when he had acoomplished all that and a great deal more, was no slouch. In front of all those stande a stetne of Hee Majesty by Dieroohetti. Looking from tbere is the fountain which was one of the great attractions of the exhibitime of 1801, but its surroundings are 'pore beautiful at Sydenhain than they were at that time, es it is a work of time to pro. duce in perfeotion the varied plants which are there to be men, with the fineeb spechnens of statuary surrounded by theism foliage. There is a oast of a group of three mooted by the citizens ot Frankfort to the memory of Gutenberg, Faust and Shaeffer, the inventors of printing. At ettalt angle of the division are colossal figures of Newton, Stephen. son, Peel and Bentinok, that of Watts would have seemed more in keeping than the last. There is a terrace or walk the whole length of the building, 48 feet wide, nearly a of a mile in length and with a beoad flight of steps about the centre leading down to a walk 96 feet wide 000e said about a mile long with arta ficial ponds on moll side tome of them quite a size, terminating in a eystens of waterworks said to be the largest in the world.

When the whole of them are goiug 120,000 gallons aro pour- ed up in a minute, out of some thousands of jets in 0 quarter of an hour 2,000,000 gallons are used.

Ibis thonght to be a ease of sui- cide, teasing from family trouble, About three oialook on Thursday morning, of last week, Benjamin Baylis, of Sandwich, heard a noise in the house, and arose to inveatigabe. When he remote ed the dining.room be was seized by two men with masks on, who beat him into insensibility. He was found on the side. walk and carried into the house by neigh- bors who beard his cries for help. His injuries aro not serious. As Baylis is very well-to-do, it is supposed the only motiveof his assallante was robbery. Rettleenches seem to have been quite a good orop in the huckleberry nearsh near Dunnville this year.

Upon opening one of the steam there was foend in bee twenty snake eggs and twenty dead little rattle- snakes. When a snake family is alarmed the mother opens her mouth and ber young eeek safety by running down her throat, which accounts for the presence of the little snakes. A great deal of amusement was mused in •the passenger oar on the way -freight train from Paris to Brantford one day recently by the maks of a good-looking young Indian woman, who, although sober enough, had evidently formed a violent attaohment to a pale.face in the aggregate. A climax WM reached when Couductor Whitaker asked far her tioket. She put her arm arouud his mak and kissed him in the most affeationete man. nee. The occupants of the oar yelled sud the concluetor, as 0 married mat, appeae- ed very mad over the affair, Clifford Elvidgeea drug elerk of Wier - ton, has been drinking to excess.

It appears that Mr, and MrS. Tophan had gstarted on a trip to visit friends in Morris township, and before starting Mr. Tophart hail advieed his son, a young Mari of about twenty years of me who intended to go on a shooting ex- cersion in the afternoon, not to use his own shot gun but to take his (Mn.

At noon the young ma,n os.me in irons bis work, mud, dinner not being quite ready he went to his father's room, just off the dining room, to gels the gen and put it in order, Ile took it from its place on the wall and started for the bed•roorn, when by some accident the gun explodea. A yammer sister, aged about 11 years, was aotnieg lown the stairway, on the op. posite side of the dining.room at the time, and the muzzle of the gun happen- ed to be pointing directly at her, only a few paces way, when it WW1 disoharged, the contents striking her mouth and passing through her heaa tore it away out of tlie base of her skull.

Lying on our desk is a tabular statement shosving the price obtaineci for grain at an Ontario point al October and Diaroh respectively, covering a period of nine- teen years. From this statement it will be seen that only on four ceamaions wae the prim higher in Ole spring. In two of those instances the advance was only two or three cents per bushel, certainly not suffictiont to admit of any profit to justify holding. A careful perusal of the figures before us cannot fail to satisfy anyone of the reasonableness of our posi- tion on the subjeet, "On the average it pays mucla better to market in the fall than in the spring. Without oonnting storage the cost of carrying wheat is fully one oent per bushel per month, -and for six menthe would be six cents, viz. :— shrinkage and insurance, three cents s interest, three centre 'finless the wheat is °etre good, the shrinkage will exoeed the amount allowed. On the above basis fifteen out of nineteen years shows a loss in bolding. The average loss for nine- teen years tvill equal eight per oent. The average gain would be lees than one and a half per oeut, an annual loss of six and a half per cent. tor nineteen years." Our rnerchents and bankers, would do well, whenever they heve an opportunity, to press this argument OA their customers. The advantage to mei:Manta and tankers of early mesh paymente to farmers is too apparent to need any further word from 115. People We Know. J. T. Ross is at London. Dirs. P. S. Soott has been ill. W.
