ON TUB evening of tho 6lh inst. the new

and beau t i fu l residence of Mr, and Mrs. Henry

Mitchell was opened to a large number o f in-

vited guests, and t he ' " f i f t h ann ive r sa ry" or

• 'Wooden Wedding" was (celebrated in a most

enjoyable mnnner . At an early hour the

many and s p a c i o u s ' r o o m s were well filled;

the aged, the middle aged a n i the blooming

youth, all moving to and fro, dropping a jes t

and a smile hero and tu rn ing a joke and a

t rump there, aud m i k i n g theunelves agreeable

generally. After thus whiling away an h o u r

or two, Mr. aud Mrs. Mitchell were asked to

reiire to some place of seclusioa for a season.

The numerou; gifts were then brought in and

placed in the parlor. Without a t t e m p t i n g to

give a complete list of the p. 'd&ats, we m a y

mention that all were well chosen, aud much

credit is due to the ladies who had the ma t t e r

iu charge for g o j d judgment and taste in

making tbe selections. A very handsome

couch, large carved walnut chair, mirror hat-

rack, stands, tables, brackets , and many other

articles of use and o rnament were presented

to the worthy couple. Among the gifta w h i c h

attracted especial a t ' en t ion , were, a beautlfu 1

set of wooden jewelry for the bride, a wine

cop, spoon, knife and*fo rk , made and pre-

sented by Messrs. Ainsworth and N. B. Blain,

and a mos t ingeniously wrought set of toys

for little • 'Willie," by Mr. Stocking. Mr ;

Craw also contributed some ornamental work

of his own design which showed creditable

skill and exquisite taste.

The wedding ceremony was performed in

the most 'approved manner by C. S. Hooker

Esq., the "oldest inhabi tan t . " As the fa i thful

couple re-registered the vow to "love and

cherish", little Will ie signified Jhis approval of

the deed by taking bis position between them,

reaching forward from bis Grandmother

Hatch ' s arms behind, and cooing with delight .

Next came the presentation, which, on behalf

of the many fi iends was made by Prof. Hicks,

whose remarks were well chosen and applaud-

ed . (The leader will understand that tha

congratulat ions were not forgotten or omitted.)

The least wns then opened and a right lively

scene was that when tbe bountpous spread on

wooden plates, was served to a hundred

guesis. Then music aud dancing, another

hour of social n joyinent , ' l l iea " g o o d n i g h t . " '

about ten o'clock p. m., ^ h e n they uabl tcbed

and started tor borne. Two of them, one a

and soon found themselves in thu woods in-

stead of the presence of their parents. After

prospecting for sometime they concluded to

•'go homo when ihuv couldn't go anywhore

else,' ' and , s t r ik ing a light, proceeded to toast

their shins and take things vasy. pioneer

style. Of coutse they cracked jokes, told bear

[stories, and wondered • w h a t motner would

say if she should see them now." But

it will never be kuo.vu jus t how much fun

they had or would have b a l , for Mr. English

was unkind enough lo t ake his gun a n d start

out in search of the b-oys in the wood?. Af-

ter firing a few signals, echo told him '-whens' '

Peculiarities or Lignum Vitro.

Lignum Vitae is a well-kaown hard aud heavy wood of America; its weight in 71.8, its specific gravity is 1.144. When first cut it is easily worked, but bccomes intensely hard on exposure to air. The wood is cross-grained, and contains a quanti ty of resin, which makes it very durable in water. I t is used in machinery, wherever much friction is required, and wherever hardness and strength are necessary Tbe fibrous structure of tbe wood is very remarkable, the fibres crossing each other very obliquely; i t can hardly be split, and can only be divid-ed by the saw; its fracture resembles more ibat of a mineral than ordinary wood. Chips will burn readily from the amount of resin they contain.

I h e Volunteer Counsel. [There is a pathos, a magnetic inter-

est,in this outburs t of nature, that irre-sistibly fascinates eveiy reader. As a rhetorical production it equals William Writ's celebrated description of the " Blind Preacher."—EDITOB.]

John Taylor was licensed, when a youth of twenty-one. to praotico at the bar. He was poor, but well educated, and possessed extraordinary genius. Ho married a beauty, who afterwards deserted him for another.

On the 9fch of April, 1840, tho court house in Clarksville, Texas, was crowded to overflowing. An exciting case wns to be tried. George Hop-kins, a wealthy planter, had offered a gross insult to Mary Ellison, the young and beautiiul wife of his overseer. The husband threatened to chastise bim for

| tbe outrage, when Hopkins went to Ellison's house and shot him in his own door. The murderer was ar-rested, and bailed to answer the charge. This occurrence produced great ex-citement, and Hopkins, in order to turn the t ide of popular indignation, had circulated reports against her character, and she had sued him for , slander. Both suits were pending—' ior murder and slander.

The interest became deeper, when i t was known that Ashley and Pike, of

i Arkansas, and S. S. Prentiss, of Now | Orleans, by enormous fees, bad been retained to defend Hopkins.

Hopkins was acquitted. The Texas lawyers were overwhelmed by their opponents. I t was a fight of a dwarf against giants.

The slander suit was fo r the 9th, and the throng of spectators grew in num-bers, as in excitement. Publ ic opinion was setting in for Hopkins ; his money had procured witnesses who served his powerful advocates. When the slander case was called, Mary Elliaon was left without an attorney—all had with-drawn.

"Have you no counsel?" inquired Judge Mills, looking kindly on the plaintiff.

" No, s i r ; they have all deserted me, and I am too poor to employ any more," replied the beautiful Mary, burst ing into tears.

" In such a case, will not some chiv-alrous member of the profession volun-teer ? " said tbe judge, glancing around the bar.

The thirty lawvers were silent. " I will, your honor," said a voice

from the thickest par t of the crowd! behind the bar. 1

At the sound of the voice many start-ed—it was so unearthly, sweet, and mournful.

The first sensation was changed into laughter when a tall, gaunt, spectral figure elboved his way through the crowd, and placed himself within the bar. His clothes looked so shabby that the court hesitated to let the case proceed under his management.

"Has your name been entered on the rolls of the State ?" demanded the judge.

" I t is immaterial," answered the stranger, his thin, bloodless lips curl-ing up with a sneer. "Here is my license from the highest tribunal in America I" and he handed the judge a broad parchment

The trial went on. He suffered the witnesses to tell their

own story, and he allowed tbe defense to lead off. Ashley spoko first, fol-lowed by Pike and Prentiss. The lat-ter brought the house down in cheers, in which tbe jury joined.

I t is now tho stranger 's turn. He rose before the bar, not behind it, and so near the wondering jury that he might touch the foreman with his long, bony finger. He proceeded to tear to pieces the arguments of Ashley, which melted away at his touch like frost be-fore a sunbeam. Every one looked surprised. Anon he came to the daz-zling 'vit of the poet lawyer. Pike. Then the curl on bis l ip grew sharper, his smooth face began to kindle up, and his eyes to open dim and dreary uo longer, but vivid as lightning, red as fire-globes, and glaring as twin mete-ors. The whole soul was in his eye: the full heart stroamed out of his face. Then, without bestowing an allusion to Prentiss, he turned short around on the perjured witnesses ot Hopkins, tore their testimony into threads, and hurled in their faces such terrible in-vectives, that all trembled like aspens, and two of them fled from the court-house. The excitement of the crowd

I was becoming tremendous. Their [ united life and soul seemed to hang upon the burning tongue of a stranger, and he inspired them with the nower of his passions. H e seemed to' have stolen nature's long-hidden secret of attraction. But his greatest triumph was to come.

His eyes began to glance at tho as-sassin Hopkins, as h i s lean, taper fin-gers assumed the same direction. He hemmed the wretch within a wall of strong evidence and impregnable argu-ment, cutting off all hope of escape. He dug beneath the murderer's feet ditches of dilemmas, and held u p the slanderer to the scorn and contempt of the populace. Having thus girt him about with a circle of fire, he stripped himself to the work of massacre.

Oh! then it was a vision both glorious and dreadful to behold the orator. His

actions beenmo as impetuous as tho motion of an oak in a hurricane. His voice became a trumpet filled with wild whirlpools, deafening the ears with crashes of power, and yet intermingled all tho while with a sweet undersong of

1 tho softest cadence. His forehead glowed like a heated furnace, his coun-tenance was haggard, like that of a maniac, and ever and anon he flung his long bony arm on high, as if grasping after thunderbolts.

Ho drew a picture of murder in such appalling colors that, in comparison, bell itself might seem beautiful: he painted the slanderer so black that the sun seemed dark a t noonday, when shining on such a monster. And then, fixing both portraits ou the shrinking Hopkins, fastened them forever. The agitation of the audience amounted almost to madness.

All at once the speaker descended from thu perilous height. His voice wailed out for the murdered dead, and living—the beautiful Mary, more beau-t iful every moment as her tears flowsd faster and faster, till men wept and sobbed like children.

He closed by a strong exhortatioa to the jury, and through them to the by-standers ; the panel, after they should bring in a verdmt for the plaintiff, not to offer violence to the defendant, how-ever richly he might deserve it—in oth-er words, " n o t to lynch the villain, but leave his punishment to God." This was the most artful trick of nil,, and calculated to insure vengeance.

The jury rendered a verdict of fifty thousand dollars; and the night after-ward Hopkins was taken out of his bed by the lynchers and beaten almost to death. As the court adjourned the stranger sa id :

" John Taylor will preach h«r6xthis evening at early candle light."

He did preach, and the house was crowded. I have listened to d a y , Webster and Calhoun—to Dwight. Bascom and Beecher—but never heard anything in the form of sublime words even approximating to the eloquence of John Taylor—massive as a moun-tain, and wudly runhing as a cataract of fire.

Training Pertnnias.

A writer in The Garden says that a fine effect is obtained by bis method of training Petunias. He procures a number of hazel rods, each about two feet long, bends them like croquet hoops, and drives both ends into the bed, placing them at suitable intervals all over it. On these he ties and trains h is Petnnias, which blossom more abundantly than usual under his treat-m e n t We have seen Petunias success fully treated as if thoy were Sweet Pea vines, and trained on a slanting trellis. The trailing habit of this plant, espe-cially late in the season, is not always sufficiently considered.

P l a n t i n g Slips. The Gazette des Campagnes recom-

mends to dip the extremities of the sl ip in collodion, containing twice as mucn cotton as the ordinary material used in photography. Le t the first coat dry and then dip again. After planting the slip, the development of the roots will take place very promptlv. This method is said to be particmarlv effica-cious in woody slips,geranium, fuchsias and similar plants.

Sheep on Stnbble.

We learn from a subscriber that be has lost sixtv head of valuable sheep by turning tnem into bis stubble fields. H e had previously turned in his hogs, and supposed they had taken most of the grain. The rain had caused the wheat left on the ground to swell ready to sprout, and there was enough of i t to ruin many of tho sheep before he learned tha t they were affected by it . Probably other farmers have had simi-lar experience, though perhaps not with so much loss. I t would be valu-able to have the facts brought out with regard to pasturing sheep on stubble.

ttaTc the Beat for Breeding. I t is the worst possible policy to kill

all the best and handsomest fowls, and save only the mean and pcraggy ones to breed from. This is precisely the way to run out your stock; for like tends to breed like, and tbe result is, that by continually taking away the best birds and using the eggs of the poorest your flock will grow poorer and poorer every succeeding year.

I t would seem as though this was too plain to be insisted upon, but , in fact, 44 line upon line " is needed. I t is the crying want of the poultnr upon the farms the country through—this careful and intelligent selection of the best for breeding.

Nothing is loct. by a little self-denial to start with. The extra pound or two of poultry flesh that you leave on its legs, instead of sending i t to market, is as good seed, and will bring forth ten-fold and twenty-fold iu your fu-ture broods. Save your best stock for breeding.

Usefnl Hint* and Recipes.

T o COLOR DARK GREEN ON WOOLLEN —For ten pounds of goods, take one ounce of indigo, one pound of vitriol, four pounds of fustic, one pound of alum. Pulverize the indigo, and put into a bottle with the oil of vitriol, and let it stand ten days. Then make dye

of but ternut or hickory bark, with the fustic added. Take half the dye, pu t the cloth in, and boil fifteen minutes ; thon air. Take the other half of the dyo and put tho vitriol and alum in i t ; br ing it to a boil, put in the cloth, and boil one hour ; keep stirring tbe cloth during the time. Then tako out the cloth and wash it in cold water. If you have no oark, put in twice tho juanti ty of fustic.

BOTS IN HORSES.-- I n t h e P o p u l a r Science Monthly there is a short article I relative to tho power of endurance manifested by the larvae of some in-sects, and among them of the bot fly. It mentions a case whero a piece of the stomach of a dead horse, which was covered with bot worms; was spread on a board and spirits of turpentine pour-ed on the worms, vet after an hour not one was detached from the flesh. Then whale oil was poured on them, when they all let go their hold and died al-most immediately. Hence the inter-ference that whale oil should be used to detach the worms from the living horse, when attacked by bots.

M . DE LESSEPS has written to Earl Granville unfolding his design of a Central Asian railway, and urging that the British government should not dis-play jeajousy of Russian enterprise in Asia, but should join the Czar in a great system of lines, of which India and the whole East would have the benefit.

THE government of one of tbe Ar-gentine provinces has offered a liberal reward for the rediscovery of a mass of meteoric iron which is often cited as existing in a neighboring uninhab-ited region. I t was first described in 1788, by two engineers who had been sent out by the government to investi-gaUj the t ruth of the Indian reports on the subject The mass was estimated by them to weigh 90,000 pounds. Du-ring the war of independence a portion of i t was used for the manufacture of firearms.

CHAIICOAL AS A MEDICLKE.—A lecture was recently delivered before the Soci ety of Arts in London, bv Mr. W. E . Newton, in which he attributed various virtues to peat and other vegetable charcoal. He stated that in the form of powder put upon poultices, peat charcoal had been most beneficially em-ployed in some of the London hos-pitals, especially in cases of offensive sores. I t absorbed the putrid effiuvia and was of great benefit in cancers, etc. In many cases when taken internally it was productive of good effect in those troubled with disordered stomachs, such as heartburn, sick headache, pal-pitation of the heart and giddiness. I n all diseases of the chest, sore throat, diptheria or bronchial affections, peat charcoal has been found very useful. I n France a scientific commiBsion ap-pointed by the government to investi-gate this subject has reported very favorably in regard to tbe usefulness of this substance for a great number of purposes.

^InofAer.—Dissolve a teaspoonful of alum in a quart of water. When cold, stir in as much flour as will give i t t he consistency of thick cream, being par-ticular to beat u p all the lumps ; stir in as much powdered resin as will lay ou a dime, and throw in half a dozen cloves to givo it a pleasant odor. Have on the flre a teacup of boiling water, pour the flour mixture into it, s t irr ing well at the time. In a few minutes it will be of the consistency of mush. Pour it into an earthen or china vessel, and let it cool ; lay a cover on, and put in a cool place. When needed fo r use, take out a portion and solten i t with warm water. Paste thus made will last twelve months. I t is bet ter than gum, as it do£s not gloss the paper and can be written on.

Life on tbe American Desert—The ^'i!d Horses and Wild Men of Western Kansas. •

Sargent, K»n., Correspondence of the Common wtfclt b.

Topeka

Large number? of wild horses abound ou the prairies between the Arkansas and Smoky Hill Rivers. They are of all sizes and colors, and are the wild-est of all wild animals. They usually roam in bands of from six to twenty, and will run at the sight of a man two miles away. A great many domestic horses, as well as mules, which have strayed away from their owners, have taken u p with the wild ones. After running with them for a while they becomo as wild as their untamed companions. Various methods have been adopted to capture these aboriginal horses, bu t they have generally proved fruitless. A scrubby co l t or a broken-down mule, are, aa a general thing, the only rewards for all the time, labor, and expense in snob visionary schemes. Settlers on the trontier would hail their speedy ex-tinction as a blessing, for when domes-ic animals get with them, their recov-

ery is simply out of the question. Ever since the first emigrant turned

his footsteps toward the Pacific, this country has been infested with a thor-oughly organized gang of highwaymen and horse thieves,and few have reached their destination without losing stock. They hover around emigrant trains like vultures over a carcass, waiting for a favorable moment to pounce upon their unsuspecting prey. I know of one out-fit the " Chicago Mining Company," that left this place in the spring for Silver City, that had nearly all their stock, some seventy-five head, stolen before they got half way to their destination. The expe-dition had to be abandoned, and most

large pot must be kept in tho cellar.— H., in Qcr. Tel.

BAKED HAM.—If t h e h a m h a s been long hung, pu t it on in cold water and let it come to a boil, when the water should be turned off After trimming from the under side all rusty and smoked parts, return to tho kett le with sufficient water to cover it. Bring it gradually to a boil, and as the scum rises carefully remove i t Keep i t sim-mering gently until tender, being sare-

1 ful that it does not s top boiling nor boil too quickly. A ham weighing fif-teen pounds will require about five hours. When done, let it remain in the watei until nearly cold ; th is will retain the juice. After removing the skin, stick whole cloves in the fa t about an inch apart each way, and sprinkle the surface with powdered crackers. Bake the bam in a moderate-ly hot oven from three-quarters of an hour to an hour. When taken from tbe oven place a frill of paper around the knuckle, and garnish the dish with fresh or fried parsley leaves.

To HULL CORN.—One quart of strong lye, prepared by pouring warm lye upon a peck or more of ashes; add two quarts of boiling water to it, and

Kut m the corn ; let it boil until the nils begin to start, which you can

determine by taking out a few kernels and washing them in cold water. Skin out all Ihe corn; rinse i t in two or three waters; put it into cold water, and let it boil u p ; turn off all that water so as to extract the lye; fill up with boiling water, and cook for four

' hours slowly; add salt to your taste; let it boil half an hour more, and serve. I t must cook a great while to be pala-table.

H o w TO COOK BEEFSTEAK.—A beef-steak is always the best broiled ; b u t . the following method is recommended I

of the partv returned sadder but wiser men. Seldom or never is a horse-thief arrested; and if by some hocus-pocus one is gobbled i t is simply impossible to convict him, as he always has a host of "fr iends" ready and anxious to

Erove his innocence. But their day as come. The country is being set-

tled by a class of people that will pro-tect themselves against these outlaws, and compel them to seek other climes to carry on their nefarious work.

How Land is Made in Holland.

A map of the province of north Uolhmd made 800 years ago, shows a bare net-work of marshy land, protected from the North sea by a range of rand-hills, and incloses within its meshes vast bodies of navigable water—the mere ontline of a country en-tirely unpromising for habitation and af-flicted with a most rigorous climate. This whole province is now a Btniling, firtilo land, busy with every form of indui«try,and one of the great centers of tbe worlds pros-perous activity. In a few years, when works now in hand ohall completed, thin- will remain no water with its wide boundaries, savu in tho embiiuked canals, where above tho level of the fields, the lift-ed waters flow to tho sea and afford chan-nels for the vast commerce of the country. Arrangements are already beiutf nrade for the drainage of tho Zuyder Zee, a work which will oost over $,"0,000,0 0. and which will take twelve years for its preparation alone. When the enormous dike shall have been built and new channels shall have been made for the rivers which flow into it, it will take the sixty three enormous eteam

I engines several years (working night and day) to pump out its water, which has an area of 50,000 acres and an average depth of about ten feet.

next, and tbe next, of a line that seemed to be endless. Within the building tbe spectacle was strange and striking. The attendance of visitors was as great as is usual on a second shilling day, possibly greater, on account of the ru-mor that had got abroad of the start-ling mortality that had seized on the large animals; but the stalls were not more than a third filled. Sight-seers naturally made for that point where the beast of beasts, Mr. Waiter 's light gray heifer, was to be seen; but, like many more, that renowned animal had vanished, though whether to the slaughter-house or to more salubrious quarters could not be ascertained. The fog plague had stricken the poor crea-tures in the most erratic manner. Here in a whole long row no more than half a dozon vacant stalls might be counted, while in that immediately adjoining as many as five-and-twenty description boards hung idle, many of them gaily decorated with the rosettes and rib-bons that denote animals that are specially distinguished. Big and little oxen have alike fallen victims, the giont of four-and-twenty hundred weight, and tbe compact steer of barely seventeen. Even the tough and wiry natives of the Highlands, with their enormous breadth and depth of chest aud bealthfulness of lungs, bad, in at leost two cases, been unable to hold out against the deadly gray mist that seems to be almost as inimical to brute life as fumes of charcoal are to human., I t is not easy to conjecture what will 1 be the result suppoping that, a? on Tuesday, the fog increases and grows blacker and denser toward midnight I t is quite evident that there are scores of the unfortunate creatures who are

, bu t ill-prepared for a prolongation of I the attack of the wondrous enemy. Witbinanbourofclos iugt ime last night there was not a single beast on his legs; all were lying or kneeling down, and many of them gasping, and with froth on their mouth and nostrils, denoting their pitiable condition. I t was a

I sight that the great majority of tbe visitors had not reckoned on. and in-stead of, as on ordinary occasions, passing on with aonvenient speed along the various avenues, taking note 'as they went, now were to be seen in fifty different places groups of u hundred or so of men and women crowding around a luckless beast, aud unintentionally diminishing his scanty chances of exis-tence. Strangely enough, neither the sheep nor the pign are to any alarm ing extent affected by the fog. The latter snore and gasp and make apo-pletic gurgling noises in their throats ' no less and no more than usual, and the sheep, though far from lively, ex hibit no grave symptoms.

disease which had been communicated to them by a sick silkworm. Tho same principle might be used in destroying the cotton worm and others of like na-ture.

" NATURE," in a paper on tho Frog, says that Batrachians are in tho mam aquatic animals, inasmuch as the greater number, even when a d u l t fre quent, at least at intervals, ponds and streams, or delight in humid localities. Nevertheless, iu spite of this predomi-nating aquatic habit, all Batrachians, both living and fossil, appear to in-habit, and to have inhabited, fresh water only. No Batrachian of any period is yet known to have beeu marine. This i s the more remarkable since tho most nearly allied class, that of fishes, is much more rich in salt water than iu fresh water forms; while even existing reptilia have (in the t rue sea-snakes and in chelonians) repre-sentatives which inhabit tbe open ocean, while iu the secondary geologic-al period marine reptiles {ichthyosauri and plesiceauri) abounded.

P E R S O N S believing in total abstinence will hereafter have to give u p eating fresh bread. Mr. Bolas, of London, has found that the alcohol formed m the primary fermentation of bread was not all expelled during the process of baking. He shows that when about two ounces of ordinarv bread is mixed with water and disiilfed, and the dis-tillate is afterwards purified, a perceu-tible quantity of alcohol may be ob-tained. If made quantative, analyses of six samples of fresh bread,obtained in as many shops in London, which gave of alcohol an average of 0.314 per c e n t So that when a man has eaten 100 pounds of fresh bread, he has con-sumed with it five ounces of pure alco-hol. An ordinary loaf of bread would contain about as much alcohol as a light glass of beer.

HENRT EDWARDS, in the American Naturalist, gives an interesting account of the honey-making ant of New Mex-ico. I t appears that the communities consist of three distinct kinds of ants —the guards, the nurses or feeders, and the honey-makers. The site of a nest is usually iu sandy soil, and from four to five feet square. The surface

• of the ground is uo disturbed, and if it were not tor the presence of the ants the position of tho nest wonld not bo suspected. The black workers sur-round the nest as guards or sentinels, and are always in a state of great activity. They form two lines of defense, moving different ways, tbeir march always being along three sides of a square, one column moving from tho southeast to tho southwest corner of the fortification, while the other proceeds in the oppopito direc-tion. In most of the nests examined tho eastern, western and northern sides were guarded, while the southern side was left undefended. If any enemy approached tbe line ho was at once ferociously attacked. A portion of the soldiers brought flowers and aromatic leaves and deposited them in the centre of the square, whence they were taken by the nurses and carried into tho nest. The honey-makers never leave their cells, their abdomen being too much swollen by the honey thoy contain. It is supposed, but has not been proved, that all ants use this honey as food.

An AustraHaa (swamp, BY J. n. O'BEII.I-Y.

In tlitt itranRo country's hcnrt, whence conieu tho broatn

Of bot diHOUBO aud poHtilonlial death, Lie IcaKuei of level uwamp, that from the bills Seem stretohinc meadows; but the flood that

Alls Those valley basins has the line ot Ink, And dismal'do'irwayB open on the brink, fieneatb the gnarled arms of trees that prow All leaflet to the top, from roots below The Letho flood; and ho who entari there Beneath their fcreen sees rising, •jbastly bate. Like mammoth bones within a cbarueldark. The white and reggod stems of paper bark, That drip down moistnro with a ceaseless

drip, From lines that rnn liko cordage of a ship; For myriad creepers struggle to tho light. And twine and mat o'erhead ic murderous

fight For lite and sunshine—like another race That wars on brethren for the highest place. Between the water and the matted screen The hald-bead vu.tares, two and two, are

seen In dismal grandeur, with revolting face Ol foul grotesque, hkn spirits of the place; And now and then a spear-shaped wave goes

by. Its apex glittering with an evil eye That sets above its enemy and prey, As from the water in a treacherous way The black snake winds and strikes the ob-

scene bird, Whose shriek like wailing on the hill is beard.

BETTER THA.N HE SEEMED.

A quaint old town was Here rord. I ts buildings were antiquated and its in-habitants clung so tenaoiously to the traditions of their forefathers that no more obstinate or exclusive set of land owners could be found in the shire.

Scarcely more than two theusand souls compriced the population, but what they lacked in numbers was bal anced by the extreme respectability of those who lived and carried themselves as little lords among the tenantnr. Hereford had its banking-house. To be sure, i t was a diminutive appendage of the big concern in Liverpool, bu t Mr. Sandhurst Tipton, M. P., resident partner, presided over its dignity and lived in tbe old brick mausion at the top of the hill, screened from vulgar

Cby the heavy yew trees that ied a cordon about his retreat.

Hereford also had its established church and its good vicar. Dr. Stole, who, though an austere man on the church homilies, could, nevertheless, at times be as decorously jolly as the worst of his parishioners, and was a rough rider when the hounds were in full cry.

The family of Mr. Sandhurst Tipton consisted of his wife and two daugh-ters. The former was a tall, stern-looking lady, with enough dignity to have satisfied the most exclusive aris-tocrat ; while the daughters, Augusta and Cecily, to the disgust of their parents, most unaccountably had im-bibed notions altogether too plebian for their nation and birth. I t was Mrs. Tipton who had insisted on their being educated abroad, and i t had ever since been to her a source of lamentation, and her more astute husband, who had opposed the scheme, but nevertheless yielded to his wife's wishes, never fail ed to remind her that the consequence was the result of her own folly.

Mrs. Tipton knew this full well, therefore she never sought to gainsay its t ruth, only she extenuated her mis-take as best she could, reminding hex lord that she was educated at the same institution whither she had sent her danghters, and had come out sane reproche. ^ P r e c e p t and expostulation seemed lost upon these wilfnl girls, and they only laughed at the lectures they re-ceived, frequently replying by some club-house phrase they obtained, heaven knows where. Two London seasons had failed to eradict the blemish of their characters, and now Mr. Tipton and wife had resigned themselves to the unhappy conviction that they must patiently endure that which they conld not cure.

The sisters were out one day on horseback, and, as was their custom, they were unattended by an escort. Augusta, who was a dashing horsewo-man, was riding near the edge of a wood that was bounded by a thick thorn hedge. On tbe opposite side was a young man who had fallen asleep reading a book, which was lying on the greensward. At a banter from Cecily, Augusta pu t her horse at the hedge and leaped him clean over i t A cry of pain immediately fol-lowed, and the young sleeper sprang to h is feet, then staggered and fell, with h}S forehead cut open by the hoof of Augusta Tipton's horse.

The daughter of Sandhurst Tipton possessed a courageous mind. She neither screamed nor wept at the con-sequence of her unfortunate prank.

"T ie yonr horse and climb over here this instant," she called to her sister ; " I believe I've killed a poor fellow. How perplexing this is, to be sure." She had sprung from her saddle, and kuelt besiae the bleeding mau, while he was all uuconscions of the fair fin-gers which were twisting a cambric handkerchief about his temples.

Cecily, in conformity to he r sister 's summons, had scrambled through the hedge, aud was doiug what she could to bring the stranger to eonsciousness.

" Ho is handsome—don't you th ink so, Gussy ?" she asked, gazing on his pale face.

Her sister made no reply, but clutch-ed a t h e r vinaigrette and appl ied i t to his nostrils.

I t happened that Cecily at that mo-ment spied a letter lying on the ground near the book. In an instant she had caught it up, and with womanly curiosity was examining the superscrip-tion. I t was post-marked Brussels, and was directed to Mons. Louis Ber

" Whore did you hear that name f " asked Celily. " I am sure we have come across it somewhere."

" I n the newspaper," replied her sister. " Don' t yon remember, a few days since, thoannouncement of Count Bernier's son being implicated in that French plot, and the flight of young Bemier to Belgium ?"

" T r u e enough," responded her sis-ter. " Wouldn't it be romantic if our stranger and young Bernier were ident-ical ?"

Augusta pushed the letter in the young mau% pocket none too soon, for he opened his eyes and gazed languidly at his fair companions.

" D o you feel much pain ? " inquired Augusta. " I really cannot express my sorrow at having been the author of your accident. I t is very strange you did not hear us."

" I was asleep, mademoiselle," he replied, in a low voice that had just enough of the French accent in it to es-tablish his nationality.

A half hour later and the sisters were sitt ing beneath a tree with Louis Bernier telling them the story of his life.

In one of the houses in the out-skirts of Herefyrd, Louis Bernier had found a temporary home with a stout yecman named Perry Hawks. There were very many reasons why he desired obscurity at that moment, and not the least of which was to keep his father, the Count, in ignorance of his wherea-bouts. He therefore gave an assumed name, when occasion required i t , and had not Augusta boldly charged him as being the son of Count Bernier, and having to fly his country, i t is proba-ble he never would have revealed him-self. But the positive and unexpected manner of Augusta Tipton had taken him at a disadvantage, and he surren-dered at discretion, only stipulating that if they ever met in the presence of others tbey should know him as Mr. Lewis.

Shortly after the event jus t narrated, a young man named Lewis appeared at the bank of Mr. Tipton and deposited several thousand pounds, a t the same time presenting a letter ef introduction from one of his London friends, who spoke of Lewis as the son of a distin guished gentlman, residing abroad. The banker offered Mr. Lewis the hos-pitality of bis house, and invited bim to dme.

Lewis's complexion was habitually pale, but on the present occasion i t was whiter than usual, and the newly-healed seam across his forehead was still visible in a crimson line. His in-troduction must have caused Augusta and Cecily some secaet amusement. Be

nier, London. Cecily pressed her hand upon her

brow, as if in thought , and then handed the letter to Augusta. The lat ter looked sharply at the superscrip-t ion, aud theu remarked: " O h ! j h a t ' e i t . How strange."

that as it msv, they never by look or sign betrayed the tnongLts that passed through tneir minds.

Every small community seems to be afflicted with one or more peisons whose chief business seems to be in diseoveiing facts regarding the}* neiehbors hitherto unknown, and thon, without loss of time^ proclaiming them to the discomfiture of those concerned, in the person of Tom Delong, Hereford had one of those enterprising ^fcdivid-uals. Moreover, he waq the nephew of Sandhurst Tipton. The banker bad for years set his face aga in^ his neph-ew's manner of life, but ,4s " blood is thicker than water," he*could not oast ofl his dead sister's child, so Tom had a cartc blanchc to hta unc le ' s house, where he never failed to disgust h is aunt and her hua{)and by bis slang of the race course and prize-ring—in his estimation two of England's mostval ued iuBtitntions.

Mr. Tiptou was sitting in his room at the book when Tom entered.

"Good day, uncle," he said, fling-ing himself down carelessly on a sofa.

Mr. xipton raised his eyen, aud wel-comed his nephew in a commonplace way.

" Who was that fellow you had up to the house at dinner the other day f

" I ara not aware that I had any (fel-lany low,' "answered the banker, with some severity of tone.

" O h , you object to the term, you do ?" replied Tom; " lo t me qualify by calling him chap."

" Q u i t e as objectionable as you

[wevious expression, sir ," responded lis uncle. " I f you refer to Mr.

Lewis, who has deposited in this bank, and who brought me a letter of introduction from my friend Colonel Bran ford, I request you to speak of him with more respect."

" B r a a f o r d ! Branford!" replied Tom, " why that 's tho name of tbe shooter who used to stop with yon so often a few years past. By Jove, I knew I had heard the name some-where, you notice his death in the Mail."

Mr. Tipton started from hib seat and raupod the paper. Sure enough. Col. trauford had fallen dead at his club.

Verdict apoplexy. So sudden was the news that the banker felt sick and was obliged to swallow some wine. Bran-ford and himself had been school fel-lows ; in a few days he wus to have seen him.

" What were you going to say regard-ing Mr. Lewis, Thomas?" said the banker.

" I was simply going to state that I have good reason to doubt that he is what he represents himself, and per-haps if I give you my reason you'll come down from that high horse yon are on and listen with more attention to what I have to say. Please tell me the day Mr. Lewin, as you call him, dined with him. - '

" L e t me see," replied the banker, running over the days in his mind, " I t was last Friday week"

" Friday is an nulucKy day to be t on a horse, whatever it may be on a man. Friday week, hey ? Well, Uncle Sand, for a week or more previous to his in-troduction to my cousins, they had met him every few days, and as far as they were concerned I don't think an introduction was at all necessary."

"How dare you make such an asser-tion ?" cried the banker, springing to

his feet, and confronting his nephew with face alternately white and red.

" Because I interrupted tbe meeting myself," replied Tom, with the utmost coolness ; " a n d I dare assert anything I know to be t rue; but if you don't believe it, why, of course, it don't make any difference to me. Good-by," and he arose to leave.

" S t a y ! " responded his uncle, " t e l l me all about i t ."

Tom seated himself again, and gave a detailed account of the times he had seen Augusta and Cecily meet Lewis. Each time they met near the scene of tbe accident by tbe wood. Tom never heard any conversation between them; he was u p among the trees getting grubs to go Ashing.

Mr. Tipton left tne bank eatlier than usual that day, and on his arrival home his daughters were summoned to his presence and requested to give an ex-planation of their previous acquaint-ance with Lewis.

In a short, decisive way, Augusta related the accident that occurred on leaping the hedge, and frankly admit-ted that both herself aud Cecily had met Lewis even as Tom Delong had reported.

" T h e n why did you not mention it ? At least, why did you let me suppose you were strangers when I brought him to my honse? Explain that, if you please."

" I cannot do it ," replied his daugh-ter, " a t least, without violating his conlidence."

" H i s oonfldence," sneered her fi ther.

" Ho I i t has come to that , has t. That will do."

Mr. Lewis received a short, curt through tbe post, in the hand

ther, and ranee, his rdon from

ter for Lewis (whose retreat, bad been discovered,) ligence of the death of bis requesting bis return to family having secured his the governor. j

Notwithstanding the vigilance of Mr. Tipton and Tom Delong, Augusta and Lewis had a final interview; then he was seen no more. /

A year had passed away, and Mr. Tipton had ceased t o remember Lewis, when he one day received a letter from the British Ambassador at Paris, in-forming him th^t Count Bernier, a dis-tinguished nobleman, at that time in the King's service, was about to visit England, and that he would havs the pleasure erf giving him a letter of in-troduction to Mr. Tipton.

The banker read the communication with feelings of pleasure. I t was al-w ^ s gratifying his vanity to be the tfecipient of such communications. His wife, to whom he exhibited the letter, at once began to plan a m .tch for her daughter Augusta. The latter indulged in such hearty screams of laughter that the propriety of her mother was shocked.

I t w u arranged that a grand dinner should be given in honor of the Count's arrival. A malicious smile was ever playing upon the hps of Augusta, which both ber father and her mother attributed to a wrong motive.

I n his old accustomed seat at the bank Sandhurst Tipton was sitting some months afterwards, when tbe card of Count Bernier was banded him.

" S h o w h i m up immediately,"cried the banker, springing toward the door.

The next moment he had mechanic-ally grasped the band oi tbe Count, and the two stood regarding each other in slence. At length Mr. Tipton spoke;

" How is this ? I believe I am look-ing upon Mr. Lewis i"

The Count smiled, and, sitting down by tbe banker, explained all that was mysterious in his first visit to Here-ford, and completely satisfied the banker of the propriety of all his ac-tions.

Before leaving tho bank Count Ber-nier had obtained Mr. Tipton's consent to propose to bis daughter.

" Comedown stairs," cried the bank-er, as he arrived at the door, absolute-ly forgetting for tho moment his de-corum, *' come down here and see an old acquaintance."

A few weeks later there was a grand time at the Tipton mansion ; every one was jolly, and none more so than Dr. Stole, as he fussed and fumed about tbe rooms. Augnsta was to marry a nobleman, after alL Her mother's cup of joy almost ran over. Tom Delong was theie, but be did not call the Count a " fellow," and suspended his slang phrases, except in.one solitary instance. When his aunt asked him what he thought of the ceremony, he replied, " Well, the parson gave them a fair start, and. I think, on a square beat Gussy will come out ahead."

A BROENT explosion of the Tradeston flour mills in Glasgow was explained on the theory that minute particles floating iu the atmosphere became so mixed with oxygen as to form an ex-

Elosive gas, and this conclusion has eeu corroborated by a similar explo-

sion a t the Park brewery during the grinding of a quantity of malt between the iron rollers of tbe mill, and a opark being strnck, the floating dust imme-diately exploded with a loud report.

MANX years ago a great game of cards called " b r a g , " took place in Philadelphia between some of the high bloods of the town. At least 160,000 was lost and won. The next morning after the game one of tbe winners found a thousand dollar note missing. He at once called the colored servant to account, who laughingly said as he re-turned the note and got his reward : "You is very good master; but what if one of the gemmen found it t"

Enterprise, of Virginia Cily, f a recent date, prints the fol-

About 1 o'clock yesterday mornin j , some of the residents of the western part of the city were startled by obsc rving what seemed a column of flame fi fty or sixty feet in height shoot-ing up out of a' shaft near the old Ophir ^ forks. I t was at first thought that th »old timbers of the mine were on flre, and three or four men ran to the sp )t to see what could be done toward smothering the flames. On reachii ig the shaft, however, they found I hat there was no smell of smoke, and ais o that tbe supposed flre was a l ight n alike anything they have before seen. Iu the light the faces of men wJjre a look of corpse-like pallor. Two air three of those present were miner/a returning from work with din-ner pyals in their hands, and it was observed that the pails (tin) appeared of a / brilliant steel-blue color. Their clotljiing and hair also partook in some degree of the same ghastly and un-na tu ra l color. Tbe light came u p the fuUf size of the large bquare shaft, and Beau at a distance as it rcse up through thia falling snow, closely resembled one oy the shooting spires seen in tbe

urora borealis, and it seemed to have omething of the same saving and in-

consistent motion. Although the men felt creeping over them a sort of super-stitious awe, they still bad sufficient courage to approach the shaft and gaze into it. A strunge sight was there seen. The whole interior of the shaft seemed to be at a white heat and glow-ed like a furnace. The timbers on the sides were particularly brilliant, and each splinter, excrescence, or bi t of fungus seemed dazzling rays that streamed steadily ont in all directions. A warm, steamy current of air steadily ascended from the swel-tering regions below, and there was observed a sickening, musty smell. All those who looked into the shaft after-ward felt a severe pain in the temples, and two or three were made sick at the stomach. This singular appearance lasted for nearly half an hour after i t was first observed, and before it was all over eight or ten men, mostly min-ers returning from their work at vari-ous mines (it being about tbe time of changing shifts) had collected about the shaft, Thelightdied out from the top downward, and protuberances from the sides of the shaft continued to glow for some minutes after the light was no longer visible above the top of tbe shaft . The light would seem to have been caused by the belching forth of some kind of highly phosphorated gas irom some of the deep, underground chambers in tbe old abandoned works. The rush of gas—for gas of some kind i t must have been—was probably caused by an extensive cave in some place where the old timbers had rotted away. One of the men who had the good fortune to witness the strange phenomenon is of tbe opinion that the mixing or mingling of the gas from the mine with the atmospheric air had something to do with intensi fying the light, as he observed in the ascending current of pseudo-flame myriads of small particles of some small substance, globules of vapor, or something of the kind, which appeared to flash and scintillate as they darted upward, and which presented in tbe general column of light much tbe same appearance as motes moving about in a sunbeam

Ws in 1878 are so used to Innifer matches that we have no appreciation of what a boon they are. How grate-ful some of our ancestors were for this blessing may be judged from the fol-lowing which was lately brought to our notice. Under date of October 14, 1784, a writer addresses Sylvanus Ur-ban thus :

" I consider your monthly publica-tion not only as a magazine of knowl-edge in the several branches of liter-ature, but also as the proper vehicle to announce whatever discoveries are made for public utility. The phospo-retic matches hare not been sufficiently recommended, nor have I yet seen any eulogium on their great conveni-ence on many occasions, which I need not here enumerate. I owe this pen tr ibute of acknowledgement for the re-cent advantage I derived from their use, and sincerely wish it may promote the private interests of t h e maker or distributors of this useful invention, which, however long it may have been known to philosophers, was never uutil lately brought into familior service. By the assistance of one of these little tubes, I extricated myself and company from an unlucky accideut on the road. The postilion and three horses out of the set having been thrown down in the darkest hour of the night, and the traces cut to release them, and without the help of the matches which lighted the lantern candle, we could not so soon have repaired our damages nor proceed-ed on our journey. They are now re-duced iu price, haviug purchased mine of a German traveler at a coffee house near the Haymarket, for the small price of 18 pence (28 cents) a dozen, inclosed in a tin case.

IF the intelligence from the west coast of Africa is to be depended on, we may very shortly hear of the return of Livingston to England. By letters received in the last mail steamer it was reported that he was then about thirty miles of San Salvador, and, therefore, within 200 miles of the coast. Assum-ing, therefore, that he would travel nearly as quickly as the natives who brought the news, he might be expect-ed home by the next steamer.

PBINTEBS consider every letter a capi-tal one that contains a remittaace.

GerninuiHm in Poland.

The Pall Mall Gazette remarks that i the Prawda, a Polish paper published y in London, gives some curious infor-mation with regard to the ftpread of | Germanism in Lithuania and the King-dom of Poland. I t appears from let-ters received from those countries tha t German agents are as numerous and as active in Russian Poland as they are said to have beeu in Elsass-Lor. rain before the Franco-German war, while the Russian authorities are so absorbed in their efforts to crush the Polish element that they do not notice this intrusion of a far more formidable adversary. Nearly the whole of the district of Czenstochov is now full of German colonists. The towns of Lods,'v Zgierz and Jurek are entirely German; p Laliza is half German, and the banks of the Vistula as far as Plock are stud-ded with German settlements, tbe col-onists acting in all respects as if they were in the Fatherlana. One of these Germanized towns, Wloclawek, was brilliantly illuminated when the news came oi the battle of Sedan, though tbe municipal authorities had express-ly forbidden any demonstration on tbe occasion. The country traversed by the railway from Warsaw to St. Peters-burg is also becoming rapidly German-ized. I n the town of Bialystok the prevailing language is German, and at Kovno the Jewish shopkeepers have changed,the Polish inscriptions on their shops for German ones, finding t ^ t the latter brought them more cust ers. The total nnmber of Germs who have settled iu Russian Poland since the insurrection of 1868-4 is esti-mated at nearly 2,000,000. A great number of PrusEian officers are em-ployed in the factories of the country as engineers, it being found that they are satisfied with lower salaries and are less independent than civilians. These officers of course, have ample opportunities for stnddying tbe mili-tary capabilities of the country, and i t is believed that the German steffis now better informed as to the Geography of Russian Poland than the Ruisian. There is already a sufficient number of Prussian officers and soldiers who have thus become acquainted with the coun-try to provide each brigade of the Ger-man army with a staff of guides, who , would be of tbe greatest use in tbe 1 event of a war between Germany and ^ Russia.

A Strange Country.

The tract of country known as the Slate Range Valley is probably one of tbe most curious that Southern Cali-fornia can boast of. I t i s there the immense deposits of borax were dis-covered something like a year ago, aud a t tbe time the whole lower or central portion of the basin was covered with a white deposit, breaking away in some places in large soda reefs, in others resembling the waves of the ocean, and in still others etretcbing out for miles . in one unbroken level, from which the k sun reflected its rays with a glare a l - "^ mobt unendurable. But one ot tbe most singular features in oonnection with this section was tbe absence of

years, it is said, by those who claim to know, there had been no rain there, un-til some three months since the spell was broken. Suddenly, and with scarcely any warning, rain commenced to fall, and for thirty hours i t came down steadily bu t unceasingly, unaccompa-nied by wind, but yet a thorough drenching rain. For two or three days i t remained pleasant, when suddenly a water spout was seen winding its way through tbe valley. I t came in a zig. W zag course across the upper end of the f lake, striking the range- of bills on the cast side and coursing rapidly along them. The canyons aud gorges were soon fliled with water, which poured from them in fearful volume aud spread iteelf out upon the bot l om In a short time it was over, and denizens of the locality now look for another dry sea-son of five years. Tbe borax company now in operation there* are said to bo doing well, aud anotbev set of works on a small scale will probably go in within a short time. Thirty five bun-W dred pounds of the refined article were \ recently shipped to San Francisco, and ten tons of crude material.—Zo® An-geles Express. '

Caleb Cashing^ InrtrnctionK.

The appointment of Hon. Caleb Cushing to be the successor of Gen. Sickles as Minister to Spain continues to excite comment concerning the oharacter of tbe instructions be will receive from the Department of State after the confirmation of the nomina-tion by the Senate. Although usage is opposed to an open declaration of the line of diplomacy to be pursued, it is stated with truth that one of the subjects to which Mr. Cushing will give his at-tention will be a policy of political A and administrative refoims in Cuba au the best means calculated to restore peace te) that island and promote its prosperity ; and among these reforms is included the abolition of slavery in the Antilles. These views hove been repeatedly enforced, both in the Presi-dent's annual messages and the official correspondence of Secretary Fish, and have been often communicated to the Spanish Cabinet. I t will be re -collected that several years ago our gov-ernment tendered i ts good offices to Spain in hopes of Cuba pacification, but they were respeertiully declined on the bafeii suggested. I t is not improb-able tLat a similar tender will be again i made by tbe new Minister, as the Ad^ A ministration will resort to every proper expedient for the purpose of restoring peace and protecting American inter-ests in Cuba and adjacent waters; and there can be do doubt that an effort will be made to conclude a new com-mercial treaty with Spain of friend- . ship, limits and navigation.

A telegram from Bay City dated the 3d inst., says:

"People who came in on the Sebe-waing stage, which has just arrived, report that from Quauicasee, at noon to-day, thoy .discovered a cake of ice floating in the bay, twelve miles out, with two men thereon. One mau was lying down and is supposed to be deael and the other was running around. The two men are supposed to be Wm. McEwan, son of John McEwan, of this city, aud tbb other, George Smith, also of Bay City. These men were out in the bay Ashing, and have been gone Since early in tho week."

To THE SUFFERING.—An old retired physician, who is candid enough to tell tbe t ruth about progress, has declared that the recent discovery by Dn.WALK-ER, of California, of his herb remedy. VINEGAR BIITERS, is one of t h e m o s t important in medicine. He has tested them thoroughly, iu his own family, among his friends, and upon himself; and he is driven to the conclusion that they possess rare and unexcelled cura-tive properties. He says of t hem: " T h e y contain no dangerous drug. They never reduce tbe patient—never render one liable to take cold—never interfere with the every-day business of life—never make their continuous iwe a condition of cure, and are adapt-Mi to even the most delicate organiza-t ion. They act as kindly on the tender iufaut, the delicate female, or infirm old age, as on the vigorous and athlet-ic system ; exercising healthful effects upon every blood vessel—ou the brain, nerves and lymphatics—on the Blood, Bile, Gastric Juice, etc., enriching im-poverished fluids, and imparting vigor to mind and body."'—Com.

A PERMANENT PA. TE.—The following process will, i t is said, afford an un-usually adhesive paste, adapted to fastening leather, paper, etc., without the defects of g lue ; which, if preserved from evaporation in dosed bottles, wil keep for years'. Cover 4 parts, by weight, of glne, with 15 parts of cold water, aud allow i t to soak for several hou r s ; theu warm moderately till the Solution is perfectly clear, and dilute i t ip i th 65 parts of boiling water, inti-mately stirred in. NVtt prepare a solu-tirn of 30 parts of starch in 200 parts of cold water, so as to form a thin, ho mogeneous liquid, free from lumps, and pour the boiling glue solution into it with thorough stirring, aud at the same time keeping the mass boiling.

ConKumption, the soourge of the human family, may in its early stages be promptly arrested and ptrmanently cured.
