In England coiperative stores have been far more successful, and are continually growing in popular favor, Not only work- men but professional people have in many instances availed themselves of the yes afforded by association in the ; oe A Of supnliee ocr their household wants; but the most extensive and system atic organizations of this character have Been those principally supported by the working classes, Some of these have en- Joyed remarkable prosperity, doing a large and lucrative business to the entire satis- faction of all concerned. A correspondent sends us an account of & meeting of the North of England Co- operative Wholesale Society, which took place at Manchester on Nov. 23, containing many facts which are at once interesting and suggestive. This society represents a | federation of cotiperative societies, and has | n Central Board and stores in Manchester, | from which the retail stores of the various societies are supplied. The Wholesa’ Society was started in 1869 by the federa- tion of fifty-four societies with an aggr gate capital of less than one thousand pounds, On the Ist of October of the pres- ent year the societies in the federation num- bered four hundred and sixty-six, with a paid up share capital of £28,900, The busi- ness done during the last quarter averaged | £28,000 a week, and the net protit of the | quarter, after the payment of interest on | shares and loans, amounted to £3,274, or over sixteen thousand dollars, At this meeting of the Wholesale Society it Announced that arr ments were making for largely extending the business of the association. Hereafter stores re- quired from America, Holland, and Ire- land would be imported by the society direct from those countries, It was deter- ather's gr hairs ‘ovington Post Office. is to have “whatever additional offleers fre required, including a chief olerk, chemists, experts, and so forth." Te ts to make an annual report which, with aecom- panying papers, is to be printed—(the fact is, Government is saving so much money by doing its own printing that if we only do enough of it we shall shortly pay the ational debt out of the savings); to make special reports whenever the epizottic gets into the royal stables, or “rye and cornu fungi” into the White House; and to have (he Cranking privilege to t tent of thirty-two ounces of sanitary informa- tion. This Dureau will meet a great and ao- knowledged public want, It will meet a want of the President, who desires to reform the civil service by having more offices to fill; of the Treasury, in which millions that ought to be divided among the supporters of the Administration are lying idle and have become burden; of Congress, which has on its hands thousands of deserving constituents who could sup- port the Constitution ina Bureau of Sani- tary Science better than they could do anything else in any other place; of the several States, which are notoriously in- competent either to educate or properly vaccinate themselves; and finally, of the great body of the American people, who are to-day thirsting for knowledge of “medical geography, including climates, marine or littoral, uplandor inland, moun- tain; their diseases, including thoracic and glandular zoue, intermittent zone, gastrio zone; dise of animals and cereals, in- cluding cattle plague, rot in sheep, cerebro- spinal ineningitis in horses, rust in wheat, potato rot, rye and corn fungi; zymotio diseases, fucluding typhus, scarlatina, rubeola, their causes and prophylaxis; small-pox, cholera, yellow fever, sewerage, and nuisances in general,” upon all of which subjects the bureau proposes, in the words of one of the most inilueutial post- masters in New England, to “dissimulate information.” It will also coliecta library nd diate: & Vacchie mitier. We have no hesitation in pronouncing this, of all our bureaus, the best. Parrmn- son, professor and philanthropist, on behalf of a pensive people hungering to know about the gastric zone, pondering painfully the potato rot, wrestling with rye and corn fungi, beset by zymotic diseases, and over- come by nutsances in general, we thank you for the bureau! When that day comes, as come it will, when pure vaccine matter shall pass free through the mails, so that the humblest citizen in the land may vac- cinate himself and snap his fingers at the small-pox and all zymotic diseases, a grate- ful posterity will rise up and bless the memory of PATTERSON, Who invented this bureau as his last best gift to man, ————— A Returning Pilgrim, When the gifted poet of the Sierras, Joagvin MILLER, was wearing his hair im ringlets, and turning his limpid blue eye to the stars, while he bathed his saffron- colored countenance in the night dews, and bayed the moon with the highest of high tragedy, this prosaic and material- istic generation of American citizens, and particularly of Pacific coast citizens, smiled on him as a mild-eyed lunatic, and touched the forehead with lifted eyebrow as he passed. But Joagrin went abroad. In London, where they appreciate poets with ringlets, he found publishers and ad- mirers. Then he came back to us with | lifted wings and shining countenance, and shamed our dull eyes that had not before discovered him. Since then we have tried to make amends by buying his books and in sorrow to the ‘This Commissioner Se mined to increase the amount of subserip- tion required from the federated societies | participating in the benefits of the associa- tion as a guarantee for loans, The capital used in the business of the society is sup- plied by subscriptions of the shareholders | and by Ie to which are added of course tho profits of its traffic as they accrue. The loans consist in surplus hb ging to cotiperative societies deposited with the Wholesale Society, which pays five per cent. interest on such deposits. At the close of the last quarter the money so di posited amounted to £65,000, By making these deposits transferable, the society | propose to introduce what is practically a | system of coUperative banking into their business, Inu future the retail stores deal- ing with the Wholesale Society may deposit the whole of their receipts and transfer the amounts as bills become due, receiving lmterest so loug as their money remains on deposit. The society has also resolved to still fur- ther enlarge the field of its operations by engaging in the manufacture, on the co- operative principle of course, of several descriptions of goods which are the most in demand by their customers, In answer to inquiries addressed to the retail asso- ciations supplied by the society, statements had been received from one hundred and forty-six, showing that the aggregate re- quirements of these societies during the past year were: Cloths, £147,000; boots and shoes, £16,000; tailoring, £20,000; and blankets, £4,000, The Central Board was therefore authorized to open a wholesale cloth warehouse separate from the general stores; to go into the manufacture of boots and shoes; to establish a blanket and flan- nel factory ; and to purchase a bakery then for sale in the neighborhood of Manches- ter, It will be seen that in this case at least the principle of coi/peration has ac- comphslied all that its most ardent adyo- eates have ever claimed for it ine The Burcan of Sanitary Science, What the urea i Th ‘ hes for is more have a party to order, good thing, uuntry langu Thank Heaven w that furn th f Education is power ishes Bur though it has net proved a panacea, The States having failed to educate the citi- zen, the Geueral Government has in ite considerate, paternal way ken hold of the matter and organized a bureau Which will shortly make the deserving poor familiar wilh Sunscrit and the dif- ferential calculus, But there being still something lacking to a perfect condition, there was manifestly a call for some other kiud of a bureau, Provision having been made for the struggles of the immortal mind, it remained for Government to take the necessary measures to fortify the frail tenement of clay which the mind inhab- ite, Senator Parrgnson of New Hamp- shire, whose term will shortly expire, has Applied his intelectual powers to the prob- Jem, and the result is another bureau, He offered iton the 13th of this month, It isa National Sauitary Bureau. It is one of the neatest and prettiest bureaus ever de- vised for the comfort and protection of frail and sinful man, It has a Commis- employing him to lecture tous, And we thought then, this shall not happen so again, No great American shall have to k in a foreign land the appreciation aud applause his countrymen deny him, And yet here it is again, Nota poet to be sure, but a pilgrim; and yet are ther not many poets who have never penne their inspiration, and perchance the best ? We had Bares, and we despised him, I did everything for us, carried the ff through the South, planted it whe: soever he suspected there was a square meal lurking in the background; in fact, did everything for us but drum, But Con- gress treated him with contempt, and a reckless press described him as an idiot, And Bares went away, We deserved to lose him. He struck a foreign strand, and began again. His journey from Glasgow to London was completed last week. He walked all the way. It is said, too, that he carried his country’s banner aloft the whole distance. When the size of the banner, the prevalence of high winds, and the narrowness of that island are con- dered, the reckless courage of the enter- prise will be understood, Another man might have been blown off. But Bates, steadying himself occasionally with a mug of pale ale, bore himself like a sergeant, and brought her safely through to Guild- hall, where he was received with enthu- siasm, Of this reception the London Tele- graph, which has devoted several columns to the hero of the hour, speaks as follow * But for the elreumstance of every window being fall of faces, one might 4d that aif the population bad turned Into the Frou root tree und parapet, from casement Jutted forth freqaent leony counterparts of that Dauner which had been brought across the Atlantic by the redoubtable Sergeant ; and at lutervale were scen the royal standard of Kogland and the Union Jack, The open barouche at the door of the hotel was converted into & close carriuge, as the rain meen ‘and less fnelined to relent.

It will he remembered that a man of the ame of PATTERSON, & small carpet-baggor rom Pennsylvania, was recently chosen a Senator in Congress from South Carolina, to occupy the chair once filled by Jon C. © ‘ALUOUN, and that immediately on his election this Parrensoy was arrested for bribing or attempting to bribe some of the immaculate members of the Legislature. 1 he testimony on which PaTrersoy was arrested consisted of the affidavits of these members reduced to writing, and sworn to w ith all due solemnity. An examination of the case took place at Columbia, the State capital, on Tuesday, before an individual who is called in the report Justice Ricimonp, On that occa- sion the members who had made the affi- davits came forward and swore that they did not precisely understand their purport, nd that they were in substance false, and that the real object of the deponents was to blackmail Parrenson and extort money fr ‘om him, The telegra ph from Columbia then in- forms us that after an elaborate examina- ti nm all the cases against ParrErson—who, by the by, is a Colonel—were instantly dis- m issed, amid the applause of a large crowd in attendance. That is to say, Patterson proved himself to be an honest man, and fit to sit with the pu St lators who sent him there were a set of | ire men who most adorn the United lates Senate, by showing that the legi perjured scoundrels who ought to go to the penitentiary.

THE NEWLY DISCOVERED RECORD OW NOAH’S FLOOD. Nonrly Behe Thon New Details Regardiug Deluge-Sir Henry Rawlinson Vouches for theix Authenticity. From the London Telegraph, Dec. 4. At the meeting of the Biblical Arrhmo- logical Soclety last night, Sir Henry Rawlinson in the chair, Mr. George Sinith of the British Museum read his eagerly anticipated paper," ( a Cuneiform Inscription decribing the Detuge which—ns we were the first to announce to the Public he discovered a short time back among ssyrian tablets im the British Museum, was alarge attendance, and the greatest interest was manifested in the subject of the paper. fter the usual introductory business, Mr. working he Stith stated that for convenienc divided the collection of Assyrian tablets in British Museum Into sections according to the subject-matter of the in ad Fecently been examining the pn comprising the mythological and mythical tablets, and from this section he obtained a number of tablets, giving a curious series of legends and including acopy of the story of the Flood. On discover= these documents, which were much muti- lated, he searched over all the collections of fragmenta of inscriptions, consisting of several thousands of smaller pieces, and ultimately re- covered eighty fragments of these legends, by the aid of which he was enabled to restore nearly all the text of the description of th tenon and considerable portions of the other jogends.

Of the inscription describing the Flood there are fragments of th duplicate texts. ‘There time of Assurbanipal, or al the Christian era, and. they were found in th brary of that monarch in the palace at Nineveh. The original text, according to the atatoments on the tablets, must have belorged to tho city of Broch, and it appears to | ave been either written in or translated into the Semitic Babylonian at a very early period. The date when this document was first written or translated is at present very dificult to decide. As evidences of the antiquity of the record, Mi he numerdus, variant readings © three Asavrian copies which had crept It the text since the orlginal was written ; the casional use of the ancient hieratic characters y the mor Jern Assyrian copyist, who did know their meaning ; and the incorporatio with the Assyrian copies of sentences which In the original were mere glosses explanatory of thetext, ‘The divisions of the lines on the orlgi- | nal documents have been recorded by the Assy- rian seribe; and among othee peculiarities showing the high antiquity of the text Is the constant use of the personal pro un nomina. tive, which In later times waa usually indicated by the verbal form, but not expressed, THR HERO OF THE LEGEND ‘The text itself Mr, Smith cannot place in ite original composition later than the seventeenth century. before Christ, while it may be much older.

A showing how it was quite natural that an early Chaldean document from Erech should be trans- ported ineveb, copled, and placed in the royal library there, Mr. Smith introduces the story of the Flood proper with a short account of the tablets which precede it, and which ac- count for Its introduction Into the narrative, Tzdubar, the hero of these legends, flourished soon after the Flood, and the centre of most of bis exploite waa the city of Erech, now cal Warka, which must have been one of the most cient cities in the world.

Mr, Smith, before proceeding to examine the beariags of ‘the details of the tablet on our ex- isting records of the flood, gave an outline of the Mosale account as con Genesis, and cites the text of the Chaldean history as given by Berosus—which assigns Xisuthrus as the »@ builder of the ark, Cronos as the deity who commanded him to it, five stadia long and two broad as ii@ dimensions, and the land of Armenia as its resting place, The proper names, Mr. Sintth considers to be the least satisfactory’ part of the Subject, from the corruption of the Greek forms and the dificulty of reading phonetically the Cuneiform names, mostly written In monogram The Cunoif. rm account agrees with the biblteal jue & Divine punish= va of the world: this pointe din the eek accounts of Berosus, nsions of the vessel in the inscription unetely lost. by a fracture which has ‘ken of both numbers; the dimensions are expressed In cubits as in the Biblical account; but while Genesis makes the Ark fity cubits broad, and thirty cubits high, the {nscription states’ Chat the heivlt and breadth were the saine, Some details of the launching of the Ark, such os that of leaks being stopped by bitu- men, have no. parallel either inthe Inible or ia Bervsus; but the description of the filling of the Ark generally agrees with the two other counts though difering from Genesis In not entloning the sevens of clean animals, and in Including ‘others besides the family of the builder, ‘The date of the Deluge'’s commence- nt given bythe Bible and Berosus, ie not tioned fn the tablet, THE DURATION OF THE FLOOD. narrative in making the De ment for the wicker fs omit With regard to the duration of the Delug there appears @ serious difference 25 | appears to have been suffer- | al the Bible and the inscription.

Th Greek account of Berosus is silent as to the du- ration of the Deluge, Pursuing his examina tion, Mr, Smith finds differences in the acc and the test of birds, by which the abatement of the Flood was ascertained, while in the bu Ing of the altar and the sacrifice on leaving the Ark all three accounts agree, BEVIEWING THE EVID On reviewing the evidence, Mr. Sinith contine ued it fy appar that the events of the Flood in the Bible and the inscription are r " 0 me, aud ocour in the same order; but the is: PA cu nee at the guile prophesied evil; | Minor differences in the details show that the ML when I prophesied tn the presence of the gods evil, | Inscription embodies a distinct and indepen- 115. to evil were devoted all my people, and I prophesied | dent tradition.

He point out clroumstances which suggest, the question whether the Chaldean narrative itself may not have been compiled from two distinct and older accounts, and notes it as remarkable that the oldest traditions of the early Babylonians seem tozventre round the Persian Gulf. A NEW FIELD OF INQUIRY. In conclusion he remarked that this account of the Deluge opened a new fleld of inquicy in the early part of the Bible history, ‘The ques tion has often been asked, * What is the origin of the accounts of the antediluvians, with their long lives so many thmes greater’ than. the longest span of human life?
