No? thing is MOM curious than the mixture of two civilizations living -side by Side.

The asses of Alexan- dria, like those of Cario, are noted for their strength mid activity. 'They are stationed everywhere, and as soon as von step into the street you are assailed by their owners in a perfect babel of tongues oifer- ing their services.

Care must be taken to keep well back, and not to put the feet the stirrups, to avoid unpleasant consequences from the frequent spills, whieh are so com- mon that no one pays attention to them.

He might Of ii'vea the richest, the most powerful of the creole caste, had he , chosen to submit to the Spaniards ; he might have passed in splerdid luxury those long years whieh he gave to patriotic toil, he might, have won the highest favors of hisking and of the Spanish courtiers bad he condescend- ed to become their slave. He preferred, instead, the favor of his countrymen, with exile, penury, and the prospect of death:— He gave the remaining years of his life to South America and to freedom. He left his rich plantations by the Guayra,, his fair villas, his wide possessions, his native city. and fled an impoverished exile .to foreign lands. Here his mind ever revolved plans for the lioeration of his country. Often de - leated, he never last hope. With a busy persistence scarcely eqtialed by a Washing- ton or a Cromwell, he CS.111,0 back after every repulse to renew his effort. He made des- perate forays into the naidst of his toes, when every other plan seemed hopeless ; he roused the ardor of the creole popUla- tioa by his incessaet appeals, by his heroic s example ; in the di darkest hour be i ver ceased to asser t that South America W uld yet be free. On his single arm rested for Many years the destiny of half a coatinent ; and it is possible that had Bolivar &lien in his generous strife, the flag' of Spain might 8 till have waved over the -shores of the Ca- ribbean Sea and the creoles have shared the doom of their brethren in hapless Cuba. We can not claim for Bolivar, with his 1 native .biographer, a spotless fame. He was not one of those whose reason sitS •su- prerne over their passions, and who f lfill the Platonic conception of a well-gove ned frame. He was searcely a - Titus in c em- ency, Marcus Aurelius in Stoical virtu a Otesar in eloquence or military skill. - Hi§ countrymen are fond of comparing hiM to the earlier heroes of the Latin race rel with a natural satisfaction, delight to 'dis- cover in their beloved liberator every rait of the heroic that made illustrious the. aunals of their ancestors when La -ium ruled over Europe, and when their melod- ious tongue wae the coalmen language , of literature and of civilization. Butit must be confessed that Bolivar was often •the elave of inferior impulses ; that he was vain ambitious of personal supremacy, boas ful,• licentious, sometimes cruel ; and his real greatness lies in the fact that be fot e0lt with unfailing ardor and success ir a ��d cause.. In this respect be excels the chief of the Latin heroes, He was a patriot rather than .a Cesar ; he fought to liberate, not to enslave. His- germas rose with dif- ficulties ; bis powers were matured in trials; he showered with bountiful hand the bless- ings of freedom Upon Millions -of the Latin race, With such a success Cwsar had ' no- thing to compare; Napoleon no achieve- ment worth of equal mention.—Eu GE/4, LAWRENCE; in Harper's Magazine for March, . - • Col:Lunen* of the World France exports wine, brandies, snits, fancy articles, furniture, jewellry, clocks, 'watches, paper, perfumery. and fancy goods generally.

Quist/M.—It is said that the discovery of the medical virtues of quinine originated thus :—An ignorant native of South America, suffering frfan the fierce thirst that accompanies certain stages of ague, drank copiously. of the only water which was within his reach, and which ,he got from a pond into which a tree of the kind since called cinchona, had fallen. The tree. had lain long in the pool, it being nobody's especial business to pull it out t the water had become powerfully impregnated with the qualities contained in its bark ; and, e sufferer who had drank of this water recoverirg from his ague with unexampled., rapidity, the pond got to be celebrated fOr ifs medicinal virtues ; and so, some person more, thoughtful than others connecting the curative quality of the water with the fact of the timber having fallen into it, began to be rumored that there was healing power in tt is particular tree, and in due time its bark Ca,1110 to be admited among the materia medica of the schools, and to be regarded as one of the more important exports of the SOuth American continent. The Jesuits, with the activity which always characterized that ambitious fraternity, got bold of this drug, which was, in consequence, called "The Jesuits' Bark," and soon it became so celebrated that we find L. Condamine in his travels telling how be carried some specimens,of some of the young trees which furnished the bark from one part of South America to another, in order that the supply of so valuable a commodity as cinchona bark might'- it be eqnfined to one. particular • ' -we • ee _CAT's- IN CHINA. —The clever French I missionary Hue, who, with his companion Cabot, first gave sus an intelligent account of life in the interior of the Flowery King- dom, was not a little surprised, and quite incredulous at first; when his Chinese friends told him that cats were their watch- es, and enabled them to tell with unerring accuracy, the hour of the day. He learned however, 1-sy careful cbseryation, that this was really so; for he noticed that the pupil of every tett he saw, though . wide open in the earl o ld ad 11 y m rn ng, wou gr ua y con- ra a,A the sun rose, at noon a perpendicu- lar line of extreme delidaey would be all „ • that was lefts to be seen, and then the pu- pil would dilate ,again, to return to its natural size by sunsee Arid when poor Pussy has served her time as a dial, she is served up herself -'-not in disguise, as in French restaurants, but boldly and boast- ingly. In many a lowly house in town, and in .ahnost every farm -house in tee country, a number .of cats are seen fastened to chains for the purpose of fastening them, and in the market -houses they hang in long rows, exhibiting their snowy whiteness, and with heads and tads carefully left un- , touched, to testify to their germinensss. Hence the fondness of the Chineie to in- troduce them in their illustrations of happy indoor life; while their strange neighbors, the Japanese, show here also their super- iority, being fond•of caricaturing the poei creatures, and making fun of them after their own manner.—Pa0F.
