HURON EXPOSITOR.
The Aurora Borealis. honor to Isabella, Queen of Spain. The
The recent aurora borealis, a sure precur-
elder daughter was married to the Duke of
sor at this season of the year of
storms - which have since fallen upon us,
was seen with match vividness elsewhere.
In Massachusets, for instance, it appeared
in great splendor. An account says :•
—
Nothing of so grand a character hue been
seen here since the year 1860. It began
about nine o'clock, rising along the whole
northern horizon in streams of pale light,
shooting upward in tremulous spires, or se-
parating into billows which rolled with
steady motion onward, then again in an in-
stant, transported into flashes . of lambent
flame, which leapt with the velocity of light-
ning, crossing each other in all directions
along the sky.
Sometimes the waves of light would re-
pose for several minutes against the hea-
vens so dense in substance that stars of the
third and fourth magnitudes could not be
discerned through it_; _ again it collected
and remained in the zenith; falling thence
down the chambers of the sky to the west.
the east, the southand north, in ribbon s of
brilliant color and wonderful motion.
But the most beautiful display of this
boreal light appeared about eleven o'clock
directly from the west. This rose in a so-
lid beam covering severs 1 degrees of space,
and of :< pink color ; it spread slowly over
the field of the sky to the eastern „horizon,
changing in hue from pink to yellow and
green, then resolving itself_ back to deep
blood color. This mass.of fluid often chan-
ged its form, but without breaking up into
parts , once it remained quite motionless,
like a long pinkish cloud across the whole
disk, from east to west, and showing greater
density than the earlier or later exhibitions.
This northern dawn gave as much light
last night as does the real dawn. The
quantity of electric vapor observed was said
tc have been more abundant than is, often
or ever Seen in this Iatitude ; but the ex-
uberance of motion, fantastic, varied, pre-
ternatural and .. more rapid than the eye
could trace—inspiring fear to the -ignorant
and delight to the scientific mind—almost
excelled thoseluminous appearances of the
Aurora Borealis in the Shetland . Isles,
which are called by the peasants and wel-
comed as " Merry Dancers." -
.
The Seven Wonders of the World. -
The ancient world had its seven wonders,
'which was much talked about, and which
people travelled hundreds of miles to . sere.
But theseven wonders- of our time are more
useful, and quite as remarkable.
The.seven wonders of the world were :—
First, the Egyptian Pyramids ; the largest
of these is 690 feet square and 460 febt
high, and its base covers 111 acres of
:ground.
Second, the Mausoleum, erected to M_au
.soIus, the King of Cairo, by his widow, Ar-
temesia; it was 63 feetlongand 35 feet
high.
Third, the Temple of Diana, at Ephesus :{
this was 525 feet in ylength and 220 feet in
breadth. - - -
Fourth, the Walls; and Hanging Gar- -
dens of Babylon ; thesewallsare st ted by
Her•dotus to have been 87 feet thick, 350
feet high, and 50 miles in length, and the
..statement is deemed creditable by modern
.antiquarians.
Fifth, the Collossus, at Rhodes ; this was
abrazen statue of Apollo, 105 feet in'height
.standing at the mouth of the harbor of
Rhodes. - -
Sixth, the statue of Jupiter Olympus, at
Athens, which was made of ivory and gold
- was wonderful foe its beauty rather than its cit
-size. .-
Seventh, the rPharos of Ptolemy Phila.
1elphus ; this was a lighthouse 500 feet
high, on the island of Pharos, at Alexandria
in Egypt ; ayeoed fire being kept burningonits summit during the night to guide - the
ships (into harbor. -
The seven wonders'of the world now -are:
-The Art of Printing; Optical Instruments,
-such as Telescopes and Microscopes ; Gun-
powdei ; the Steam Engine ; Labor-saving
Machinery ; the Electric tric Telegraph, and
the Photography.

On the evening on which the betroth
made public by her mother to a br
of guests assembled, she
suddenly to her own apartment, and,
search had been_ instituted for her, sh
found senseless on her bed with- an e
flagon alongside of her. Medical assis

sequence of it, she is subject to nervon
tacks, and often succumbs to a kind o
wous depression which gives her a Had

Hanging Ciarchens in Babylon.
The great Babylonian king Nebuchad-
nezzar (died B. C. 561,) when he had com-
pleted his conquests, as he found himself in
possession of treasures uncounted, and cap-
tives by tens of thousands determined to
signalize his reign by some of the triumphs
of peace. He built a new palace of colos-
sal dimensions, and surrounded it with a
triple wall, the outer one of which was
some seven miles in circuit ; he enclosed the
city of Babylon with a wall, which, Hero-
dotus says, was about three hundred and
thirty-five feet high, and shade the Hanging
Gardens. This last work was undertaken
to gratify his wife, Amytis, a Median prin-
cess. Having passed her younger days
in a mountainous region, she disliked the
uniform level of the country about Babylon
and pined for the woods andhills of Media.
The lofty rocks and various trees of this
wonderful paradise were an attempt to imi-
tate Median scenery. These gardens were
high enough, to overlook the walla of the
y, and occupied a square four- hundred
feet on a side.
It has been a question how these gardens
were supportedat this great height, as it
was, until lately, taken for granted,that the
Babylonians did not understand the princi-
ple of the arch. But it is now known that
perfect arches were, built in Egypt, in As-
syria and in Babylonia, centuries before
Nebuchadnezzar ,s time, and so the question
is simplified.
Eugenie.
It is well known that the Empress Euge-
nie has taken _a, most active part in the dra-
ma which is now so rapid'y developing in
Europe ; that she has been most energetic
in advocating the present war against Prus-
sia's arrogance, and inasmuch as she may
possible succumb to the terrible strain upon
her physical' and mental powers, great . as -
they undoubtedly are, a sketch of her life
may be acceptable at this juncture. The
Enpress Eugenie was born a Countess The-
ba de Montijo, and is a direct descendant pf,
an Irishman. by the name of Kirkpatrick, a
-dealer in wines and fruits at Malaga. Kirk-
patrick had four daughters, of whom the .
youngest was distinguished already at an
early age, not only by her great beauty, but
by her extraordinary - talents and accom-
plishments. Accident made- her acquaint-
ed with a former Spanish officer of artillery
the Count de e Montijo, He was poor, but
belonged to the oldest aristocracy of Spain,
and Miss Kirpatrick removed to Madrid,
and entered the highest social circles as
Countess de Montijo. Eugenie, the pre-
sent Empress of the French, is one of her
'daughters .Tha Countess; Theba de -Monti

The ancient Romans when, they had to
carry a stone aquaduct across a deep ravine,
sometimes built three or four tiers of arches
one above another, till . the required level
at which the water was to becarried was
reached. In the same manner, only on a
large scaler was the mount of gardens rais-
ed. They built one story of arches,. cover-
ing the revnired space ; - on this was placed
,a second story ; and thus was story after
story raised. A -great-MASS' of earth -cover-
ed the top, :and watei was supplied from the
Euphrates -through pipes. Not only flow-
ers and shrubs grew there. but trees of the
larger size ; some of them so large that
their trunks, according to Quintus Curitus, -
were twelve feet in diameter. The ascent
to - the -se gardens was by steps, and on the
way. up, among the ' arches, were stately
apartments, whose pleasant coolness the
climate could little effect—Oliver Opiec's
