Among the curiosities of lightning are what is tt-rmcd “fulgurites,” or tubes, which the lightnimf constructs when it falls ufxm a silicious .spot, by fusin-- the saii'l. They m;iy be callcl easts o'f thunderbolt-;. In s-uuo hillocks of .sand in Cutn- beiland (England) the.so hollow tubes h-ive been found from me-fifrieth to two'inches in diameter, tapering perhajis to a more point. Tiie entire extent of the tubes may bo thirty feet, but they usually separate into numerous branches, and h ive the appearance of the skeleton of an inverted tree. They are lined with glass, as smooth and perfect as if it had been made in a glasshouse. I ho age of a horse is more easily told bv his eyes than his teeth, in this w’ay: After the lior.'C i-i nine years old a wrinkle comes on thce^’clid at the upper corner of the lower lid, and every year thereafter he ha.srme defined wrinkle for each year over nine. If, for instance, a horse 1ms three wrinkle-s he is twelve; if four, he is thirteen; add the number of wrinkles to nine and you will al ways get it. So .says a writer, and he is confident it will never tail. As a grei'.t many people have horses over nine it is easily tried.

'lafnir.'is,” and dashed a h'lndfull of bank : i ' :i the t.ible Tiiey w re at "iic' imp.iund- ei by tne authnrities, an.i the vuter forfeited his tranchi-io. In other ea-ios fabulous prices have been given f..r ciiiary bir.l', \c.; but the cnnmonest form ofevading the law and its penalty was, to a Idress a voter thus, “I’ll bet you five guineas, and stake the money in your hands, that you do not vote for Mr. .” “Done,” says the voter, wh i rec.dves the money, votes tor the person n.ime 1, and S'l s.'cures iiis bet and his bribe. 'I’he expeTi'ios of an English election have al ways been ononnou', an.l defeated candidates have often imm ' liately afterward “appeared in the gaz-tte.” having become bankrupt. A large portion of the cxp.-nse consisted in bringing up “freemen ’ (I) to vote from all parts of the country where the}' happene'i to be settled, the right to vote in the borough of which they are free not being destroyed by non-residence. On this ac count the borough or city of Lincoln could not be carried at a b-ss expenditure than sixty thou sand dollars for each candidate. The famed Mr. Wilberf.irce’s first election, at Hull, cost forty-five thousand dollars. ^Vt the present day, in .some of the counties and in nearly all the large towns and cities the practice, we believe, is for the pol itical friends of tb.o candidate to bear his expen ses, whieh are ni.'t by subscription. It is in what are called the county elections that the mo.st as tonishing ex[ enditures are incurred by the candi dates or their friends. Into the.se conflicts rival aristocratic families frequently outer with entire aban.Ionment, utterly regardless of expense. Fami ly pride and honor are at stake, and in later days wealthy comm mers have entered the field against members of f\udal families that from time imme morial have claimed an.l enjoyed all the honors the county could bestow. Thus in 1>!U7 Mr. 'A ilberforco fought and won perhaps the costliest election contest ever fought in England or else where, “carrying Vorkshire against the I’itzwil- liam and Harcwood interest,” two aristocratic houses of great antiquity and alnio.st incredible wealth and inHucnce. The polling continued for fiiteen days, long before which time not a vehicle Wiis to bo hired in the county. So highly was the popular enthusiasm excitcd, that hundreds, trudged for miles on f.)Ot to east their votes. The other candidatc.s were the sous of Eafl Fitzwii- liam an'l Lord Hurewoou and the expcnse.s of each, for transporting voters abme, were five hun dred thousan.l dollar^^'. It is cstimateti that the total expenses were two millions and a half of dollar.s, of which Mr. Wilberforee’s share was raised by sub.scription. His was the lightest, as many of his frieniN bore their own expenses. The reviewer maintains that the English elec tioneering proceedings are now quiet and orderly, and he half objects to their tameness and in.^pidi- ty. Yet it is not many months since Kiddermin ster was the scene ot as disgmceful an election riot as ever the annals of English elections can show, and sixty members of the present House of Cotnmoas have been shaken in their seats by peti tions on the ground of bribery.—.V.
