How came this ymiii man without a country, this fugitive. without resources, lliis (ieniian turned Turk, to risk his futuro do-itiny on n uair of gloves? This history is n )t less curious than that of his nudieneo with Hussein Pasha. The fourth son of Peter llattas, a poor and noMo Austrian lieutenant, Michael was in his childhood so rt ''i cate that he lived only by a prodigy ol' .nateinal love. At IS he was appoint ed superintendent of the briik'es an 1 cau.-ew.iys of Carlstndt. At -V h.t was nominated sub inspector at I'.i'.in.ili i.

Tho first Ottoman village which he traversed being (liner-l'na-i, h took tho natno of Omer with the turban, and advance at random into the pr ' inco of liosnia. Somo wagoners met him, attacked him, robbed him. took away even his clothes, and b-l'l him almost nae.l on the public road. A peasant furnished him wiih a garment and a little money.

One of the most extraordinary of the many disturbances of the earth's crust which have occurred, is the sink ng of the mountain Naiue. in Algiers I'his mountain, which was about tw ice ,m high as the Crow's Xest on the Hud- ion, is said to be gradually descending ' Into the bosom of the earth, a deep ex- avation being formed all arciind as it , etths. There are several instances on j record of volcanic mountains having ! arisen out of the earth or the sea. and I ifew mountains which have sunk into j tho earth. The Japanese have a legend I that the great volcanic peak of I'usi- Viitna rose suddenly out of the earth, tud it is known that in 1750 the vol- ano of Jorullo, in .Mexico, rose in one I night out of a cultivated plain. In I ssl there was a similar occurrence in sin Salvador, a volcanic hill rising iuddenly out of the middle of the lake f Ilopango. Hut in these cases henomena of tho rising mountains Acre accompanied by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. So the recent dis appearance of volcanic islands and the thrusting up through the bottom ot the sea of sixteen new volcanoes near ava were accompaniments of a great envul-ion of the earth's crest. Hut iho sinking of the Algerian in uintam it ippears is not attended by earth iiakes, r volcanic eruptions. The subtei :.incan props of the mountain seem to giving away under its weight, and i! is sinking into th" ground by decrees. SCIENTIFIC SCRIPS. In a discussion before the London Pathological Society, Dr. Wilkes stated that in some cases of rupture of the heart by wounds life has continued for twenty-four hours. Being called upon to analyze 8omo specimens of wine from a vineyard near Nimes, Prance, Mons. liurtbelm, ' Professor of the Faculty of Sciences at Toulouse, found them to contain a rather largo proportion of arsenic, which proved loha ' en d-'fived from the impure sulphurio a"id with which the wine casks had been cleansed. That lightning killed bis soil is the belief of a fanner in .Vewtoti, 111. He writes: "This Mimnii'r, .tu.i my corn was two feet high, the Ib.ditiiiiig struck it. killing a patch nb.uit pn.) square feet in extent. It seemed loha killed tlie ground, as neitluruml nor spear of giiiss lias gmw u on it .-'nice The e.i'otind looks ilea.l, tin I I believe il is.

T in; bisulphide is u.-e in L is Angeie County to prevent th" siread of the grape disease, phylloxera. Several strong and healthy men who have been exposed to the fumes of the vile stuff have become insano. It may be a sub. jeet worthy of iiive.-t;';al.ion whether other deleterious gases may not in like manner affect, tho human brain. A novel d :ico for holding trees at tho proper elevation and in a vertical position while being planted, is men tioned by Th': S-hu'ijii' Awrirai), The planter has throe in. l'ned bars se cured to eieh other a their upper ends, and connected by parallel and brace bars, forming a tripod, and pro vided witii haUi-ing .s;i'.ngs having their lower ends ben forward and provided with claws for su-pending the tree in cxe. 'tly the required posi tion, To the upper end of the three inclined bars is attu'dicd a table provi ed with four sights, by which the planter can be adjusted from s'akes at the bide of tho field. This invention, which has been nti utol by Mr. Gairaud, Santa Clara, i'.d.. may serve a good purposi in planting tarjo or chards, where it is (b siral !e to have the trees stand upright and iu -1 might rows. Carious Cii-aoms o: the Coream. Tho dist;int kingdom of Corea for centuries has been noted among the. group of Chinese dependencies for ii extreme exelusiveness and blind eo-.-scrvatisin. It pays tribute to China, i yet permits trading to only two Chines. . ports. It is also, in s ome ticrrce, trili ' utary to Japan, but di .e -urages inter course between her people and the Jap ( ; anese. With ii harsh, severe climate, a Kiir faee iniieh broken by mountains, nnd 1 soil that yit'Ui a li.tr Vi st to uothini ' but resolute toil. Corea is lo Chin what Scotland was to England befor j ! tlie union the abode of a proud, ci- elusive people, intlependeut, but (k-vot- ' i ed to the chief of the clan, c linging to , ancient usages with tlie bigotry of i;- I norance. Corea is rich in m thing but j her half-worked mines, and in the in j ; dustrial, frugal habits of her people. ! The Coreaa Idolatry of thoir king h l an Asiatic exaggeration of tho olo j Scottish devotion to the chieftain. 1. i is reckoned sa rib go in a common man . to pronoun - c his name; while to touch ; his sacred person with a weapon of ! steel is high treason. Like tho f-pan- ; j ish king, who heroically burned to ' I (b ath rather than have his chair moved , back from the lire by the wrong ollicer j a king of Corea, 16"0, died of an ab- ! scess rather than have his august body pierced by a lancet, A horseman who passes by the King's palace must dismount, and lead by his ' horse, and every one w ho enters the presence of the sovereign falls pros trato before him. If tho King honors ' n subject no far as to touch him, that subject must ever after wear a bade , to distinguish him from the great un touched. The civil service of Corea resembles that of the Chinese, the offices being given afier a competitive examination Indeed, in most particulars, Corea is a small, cold, mountainous, provincial China. Tlio nobles follow Chinese fashions, speak Chinese, profess the re ligion of Confucius, and art) about as Chinese as the Scottish nobles, a hun dred and fifty years ago, were English. TheCoreansof simple birth are Hudd hists, and speak a language as pecu liar a tha old Gaelic. MJSTING SE ELEPHASTS. A Man's RtranK Three Tears' Life nn a Lonely l.tmiil.

The seal lishcri s didn't amount t- i much, and most of tie time was spent in killing sea elephants, an I rough w ork it was. The animals ha 1 been hunted so mil' h that they only cam: ichore on one part ol the island called Long Beach, and where there was a heavy st'a breaking all the time; so tin only way to do was to drive the ani mals oil shore and keep thetn off, that they would come ashore in other places where they could be killed. Tin long beach was covered with thoe sands of elephants in regular herds like cattle, about fifty to a lot. un each under the head of a big ma c railed tho beach master. Our bu.-e ness was to take long soul-skin whips .sail into the herds, and drive them off which was no fool of a job. We walk ed along about an eighth of a mi! apart, and had somo close scrapi Botnotimes. Some of the bea -h ma ters were thirty feet long, and weigh ed three tons. They didn't j viii t' know what fear meant, and you cone: walk right among them, an d givo them the whip right and left, and then tie roaring and tlopping commence '. Fight? I should say so.
