to t&wrtain whether thi ska and its shores
rt of: volcanic or non-Volcanic origin, nnd
to mfate ibe position of infidel philosophers
vith regard to Its formation. The elucida
tion Of ibis subject is a desideratum to sei
zes kad urould ho most gratifying to the
whole Christian world. It Is a mystery
which has remained impenetrable since the
awful raomejit' when the waters of that
wonderous sealirst roao above tile smoul
dering ruins of h Valo of Fiddhn. The
onfiguration of one-half of its tdiorefl and
its very extent are unknown. Its waters,
of petrifying quality, and limpid as a moun
tain stream, doubtless hold within their bo
som, and holding will reveal, those ruins,
upon the non-existence of which the unbe
liever states his incredulity.
Strabo, Diodoros, Pliny, nnd Jo.scphus
among the ancients and Muundrell, Po
coke, Abbe Marline, Chateaubriand, I.n
Martine, Stephens, and Robinson, among
the Moderns, all differ as to the extent, and
many of the peculiarities of this sea. Con
siderable streams are said to empty into it,
the very names of which are unknown -Some
have heard the gambolling. of fih
upon iu surface, while others deny that
any animated thing whatever can exist
within its dense and bitter waters. Fruits.
luscious to the eye, but of nauseous taste,
ami crumbling in the grasp, are said to be
found upon its shores. Marty travellers de
ny tho existence of all vegetation, and Cha
taubriand asserts that he found branches of
the tamarind tree strewed upon the bench.
Its southern coast is Said to consist of mass
es of solid salt ; while as far as the eye can
reach from its northern extreme, it beholds
only the washed and barrpn hills of Judea
on one side, and those of Arabia Pctrcft-on!
the other. All s vague, uncertain and mys-r
terious.
Are the questions answered ? . Or shall
a small pecuniary consideration withhold a
country such as this from such an underta
king? I admit that it is not a summer's excur
sion, and that British officers are said to
have twice failed in ft' like attempt. Should
that circumstance deter us? I venture to
say, that within the broad periphery of this
land, which, cradled between oceans, stretch
es from the frigid zone to the tropics, there
is not one native born or true hearted adopt
ed citizen who will answer in the affirma
tive. We owe something to llie scientific
and Christian world, and while extending
the blessings of civil liberty in the south
and west, may well afford to foster science
nnd strengthen the bulwarks of Christiani
ty in the east.

The Innkeeper of Wisbadcn.
A few years since, an innkeeper at Wis
baden enriched himself by the board of
bathers, to such an extent that he was on
the point of retiring to estates, was dream
ing of aristocratic greatness, and Would
have gladly sacrificed a large portion of his
fortune for the sake of being ennobled ; but
all the various attempts he made were fruit
less. The unfortunate iu;lli r.iare was almost
assured he should never be able lo attain
the object of Ins most ardent aspiration.;.
In default of his own honors, he then sought,
like all enriched commoners, to inarrv his
daughter to a man of tjualiiy, and thus to

prevented from inheriting nobility; he
thrust aside all pride of Caste and married
the innkeeper's heiress. The worthy father
1.1, ,. ii,, i.i l-ii i i
behewdho had acconijihsheil wonders by
marrying his daughter U a professed gain-
bier. He was proud and happy to be able
to say on nil occas.ous-'-the count ; my ;
son-m-law." His son-in-law nro use v scat-
tcred his gold ; but his family had credit;
and to conceal as much as possible the
misalliance, tho father had given to bun
the W of a baron. The noble father
could have nothing to refuse to a son-m-law
-whohad made bun a baron; he oKined
with more liberality than ever his strong
box, and tho young count's new position,
as son-in-law, uiado it unnecessary to be
sparing. Marriage had not improved the
gamester, who gave himself without re
serve to his passion, which had, lo some
extent, obtained the indulyniu'e of the father-in-law,
to whom he represented it was a
very gentlemanly vice. This argument
was omnipotent to tho innkeeper turned
burou, and the poor man suffered himself
so Qir to be indoctrinated nnd plundered by
his 'daughter's husband, that his whole for
tune passed away. In the courso of five
or six years, the old innkeeper of Wisbadcn
after having successively sold off all his
estates, his houses, and his slocks, found'
himself at last completely ruined ; he had ,
nothing left but his title ofbnrou! I Jut
perhaps lie would not have given up that
parchment for all the forlunehe had lost.
In th! meanwhile, he must rct a living:
the ex-keeper soon re. llzed tins necessity.
He demanded an embassy, it was refused
him; he applied for the situation of atten
dants the king of Havana, his nobilily
was not old enough for that. Then, no!
knowing what to do, and pressed by want,
our newly made gentleman resinned his
former profession, in which ho had pros
pered so well ; he disguised his rank, came
to Wisbadcn, oiko more obtained credit,
purchased upon his imte the hotel of an
old comfrere, who had jriown rich, iu:d is
now in the way of making a second for
tune. It is thus it happens that Wisbadcn
has the honor of jxis- tsoing an inuk 'per
who is a baron.

In the U. S. Circuit Court, at Pittsburg, a
pentdty of $")';() has been awarded asjmhist
Dr. Mitchell, of Indiana CMinly, for enticing
a slave from his master. The case was t r i . d
under the act of Congress of 170,', and for
the penalty imposed by that act. The d -ei,-i
i.i in this case goes somewhat further than
the finnus Van Zaadt eas-1 of Ohio, la the
en decided at Pittsburg there was no j.ro'd"
ol' any attempts on the part of Dr. M. to en
ticc the il.ive away from his master. Nor
was there any pp-ven interference to pre
vent hi return lo his owner. He ave him
em)loymeaf. however, knowini' Iiim to be a
slave, ami according to the rluirge of the
judeje, ;md the inference of the jury from the
charge, there was room for the verdict ren
dered. In Judge McLcai.'o charge, the act
of employment simply was not deemed an
offence under the act of Coinjrtss. The

For fear of some improper impressions be
