Many young inen addicted to intemperance have joined our armies or left the country; the duty laid on alcoholic drinks by the ; Governm'en't : has'ln a great measare removed - the : neans . of indulgence beyond the reach of common drunkards; and lasUy, a considerable portion of the convicts are negroes'. " In practice-of fbrty-eix years I have never knon; a lfegro of pnre blood to bars delirium, tremens.. At a time when there is so much discuseion relative to the exaltation pf tbe black race to a position of equality with the White, it' may be a problem well worth considering, whether the negro's brain and nervous system are so peculiarly constructed as to protect him. in a greater or lens degree, from a malady, ot this formidable character.

According ' to the observations of Lieutenant Lynch, the surface of the lake in May, 1848, was 1,316,7 feet below the leTel of the Mediterranean at Jaffa. (Report of becretary of JN ary, v Sc., vo, p. 26y) and although we carinot absolutely rely on the accuracy of that tmerisiort, stiH there is reason to believe that it is not very far front the. fact. The measure ments of the deptH of the la4e' taken by the aame "party, af'e probably " more trustworthy. Tbe expedition consisted of sailors, who were here in ' their 'element,1 and to whom taking sotfridlngs was a matter of every-dty; occiirfence. In the upper portion of the lake; north of the peninsula, seven cross -sections were obtained. They show this portion to- be a perfect basin, descehding"rapid- ir till it attains, at about one third of its length from the north end, a depth of thirteen hundred and eicht feet. Immediately west of the upper extremity of the peninsula, however, this depth decreases suddenly to three hundred and thirty-six feet, then; to one hundred and fourteen', an'd by the time the west point of the peninsuia is reached to eigh teen feet. Below this the southern portion is a mere lagoori of almost even bottom, varying in depth from twclrc feet in the middle to three at the edges. It will be convjenient to use the term " lagoon" in speaking of the southern portion. " ' The depression of the lake, both of its.8urface.and its bottom, below that of the ocean is at present quite without parallel. J he lake :Assal, on the Soma li coast of Eastern Africa, opposite Ad en, turnishes the nearest approach to it. Its surface is said to be five hundred and seventy feet below the surface of the ocean.- Smith' Dictionary of tlu Bible. . Tower of Babel.
