A powder mill is a fcnrfltl pteee to visit rihI tmng8r8 are very seldom allowed to go info one. They are littilf far from any town, in tin' wootk niid eaeli hntiicll of the I work is done in a separate building. ; 1 These houses arc iiito a distance from I each other, so that if one blows up it won't blow mi Ihe rest. Then the lower parts of (he building are made : very strong, while the roofs tire very j lightly set on. so that it it explodes only the roof will suffer. Hut in spite ot every litre, sometimes a WHOM) sct f lenient of the powder mills will go oil' almost in an instant, and every vertlge-ol the work of years will he gwept away in a few seconds. lint thong) yott feel like holding your breath to look at if, it is really an interesting process to see. It is I made, rierlian.' von know, of charcoal. saltpeter ami brimstone. Each of i these articles is prepared In a house by itself, hut the house whore they are mixed is the first terrible one. In Ibis j ; building i-t an immense mill stone, rolling round and round in an iron lied. In this bed mid under the stone, are fait the three fearful Ingredients of j I gunpowder. There they are Ihor- j : otighly mixed and ground together. : Tills is a very dangerous operation. I because il the stone Comes in contact with its iron bed; if. is very apt to strike fire, and the merest suspicion of i ! a spark would set off the w hole. 'I he 1 I materials are spread three or four j inches thick in Ihe bed; the wheel, i w hich goes by water power, is started and every nia.i leaves the place. The ' door is shut, and tlte machinery is left j to do its terrible work alone." When ' il has run long enough, the mill is slopped and the men come lock. This Operation h aves flic powder in hard lumps or cakes. Tlte next house is where (he cakes 1 are broken into grains, and of course are quite as dangerous as Ihe lasf, one. j !'ut the men can't go awav from litis; ' they are obliged to attend to il every I moment, and you may he sure no laiuril or joke is ever hi-anl within its walls. Every one who goes in has fo take off his boots, and put on rubbers, ; j because one grain of the treacherous j ' powder, crushed by (he hoot, would ! i explode the whole in an innt. The floor of the house Is covered I with leather, and is made pwfectrj j black by (he dust of the gunpowder. It contains a set of seive's each one smaller than the last, through which the powder is Fitted, mid an Immense ground and laboring mill, where it is ground up, while men shovel it in With w ooden shovels. The machinery makes a great deal of noise, but the men are silent, as hi the oilier houses. I The reckless chnuhlng of the ma-' t'hiricry even seem to give greater hor ror, and one is very glad to get out of thai house. The slovlng hop.-e is next on the list, atld there the gun powderls heated on wood trays. It is very hot. and 1 no workman stays there. I-'roin there j il goes to the picking house, and is lint up in barrels, kegs anil canisters, j Safely through all these houses, it ; goesat last to the store house. One' feels like drawing a long breath to .we 'the fearful stuff packed aw-ay, out of j i Ihe hands of men, in this curious house. You've heard of thing; being as dry as a powder house, hut. you wouldn't think this house very dry. It isal-; ; most imbedded in the Water. The roof js one big tank kept full of water. ; I Hid yon ever hear of a water fOOf be fore !' Instead of steps lo go in. there : ate shallow tanks of water, through j i which every oue must walk to the ; I door. In none of (hose powder houses is' j any light ever allowed except sun- j light. The wages are good, the days j work is short, ending always at three I or four o'clock. ut (he men have a ; j serious look, that, makes one think every moment of the danger and gjad lo get away. I hough curiosity may take a man once to visit a powder mill, he has no desire to go the sei-ond time : and be feel all the rest of his life that for in nee, he has been very near death. . i.rei tatu oiii'iimiinn. A letter from Nassau. X. P., says: I saw a solitary house, pleasantly shu nted, and made some inquiry coneern Ing it. "That.

LOW BmnaE.-8onH) years ago the I manager of a "well regulate d" theatre i some where along the line of the Erie canal, engaged a goo.) looking and brisk young, lady as a supt ritimierurv. ; I t happened that the young lady Imd formerly officiated in some capacity as : a "liana" on board a canal boat, a ! fad which she was extremely anxl : oiis to uoueeal. she evinced much j anxiety to master Ihe d tails of her 1 nely ihoscu protwion, ami soon ex- hlhlted a more than ordinary degree of comic talent. She was ,iuly pro ! moted, and in lime became a genctal ! favorite with both manager antl pulv lie. One night when she was ail I houueed to appear In a favorite part, : a couple of boatmen found their way . into Ihe pit. near the foot -lights, jkit I ticularly auxiom to see the new com edienne, 'i he house was crowded, and after the subsidence of applause. which greeted her anneamuee, one of ( tile boatmen slapped his companion on the shollltlcr, and with an cnq-halic expletive, exclaimed : "Hill, I know that gal !" "lihmv!" said lilfl; '-dry up." 'Jiut I'm dimed if I don't now, Hill. It's Sal Fluking, as sure as your born. Sin 's old Kluklus' daughter that used to sail the 'Injured folly,' and .-lie used to sail w ith hlol." "Tom," said bill, you're a fool; and if yen don't stop your infernal clack, you'l get me put out. Sal Flu king! von must know a site if you think thal's her." Tom was silenced but not convinced. He watched (he actress in all her motions with intense interest, and ere long broke out again : "1 tell ye. Bill, that's her I know 'tis. You can't fool me, I know her too well." 'Hill, w ho was a good deal interested in the play, was out of all patience at tliis persistent Interruption on the part ot Tom. lie gave him a tremendous nudge in the rib with his elbow, as an emphatic hint to keep quiet. Tom, without minding the admoni tion, said : "You just wait I'll fix her; keep your eyes on her." Sure enough, he did lix her. Watch ing his opportunity, w hen the actress was very deeply absorbed in her part, he sung out willi a voice which rang through (lie galleries, "Low bridge!" I'roni the force of habit, the actress instill)! ly and Involuntarily darksi her head, to avoid the anticipated collis ion, and Tom retired from Hie theatre, satisfied ll.at he "knowed that gal." The 'I'linirn r.ss u .ifokxia La borer. All I lull has been said with regard to the care.lciicS and extrav agance of tin) fanner, applies ton two fold degree to the farm laborer. In every part of the Htate can be found farmers w ho began, fifteen or twenty years ago. without a dollar, but who are now independent. 1 am not speakii'g Of men w ho have made for tunes to speculating in hind only of men w ho have made their money by plodding Industry. They married, saved every dollar they could, kept adding acre after acre to (heir farms, as they found themselves able to pur chase it. ami now they are surrounded with comfort and nappy families. With these examples before him. it is surprising that the farm laborer does not make greater exertions to secure a home, l id no! beoanse he does not receive the high w ages that once pre vailed in the Slate. Tie thinks w hat he gets is not worth saving. 1 have seen laborers (men who bad no pretension lo be anything else! wearing a suit of clothes, which with watch and jewel ry, was worth $180, I have seen these men leave their work, hire a pair of hot-st s and a buggy (or ." per day. take a girl with them, and go twenty miles to a fall, lam speak ing ot what is common, not ol isolated Instances. When such men are throw n out of employment, of course, they have not a dollar left : and they bitter ly complain that the country is going to ruin, am! Is unlit tor a white man to lie in. One would think there is something In the climate of California that generates discontent and extrava gance. Yon will find here laborers, not twelve mouths from Kurope, who, though they receive sslltMl per year, and uonnl, eoinulain of the rate of wages. Yet if oT year's wages were put in bank, the interest would nearly equal the wages -they got at home. "Vow "How's wad .'.fliUniinjKt of CuN firm'ii," in Oeeiiwid MntMyfnr April.

Marly in October he si t out from Richmond to fulfil! a literary engage ment in New York, and to prepare lor bis marriage, Which was to take place on the 17th of the month. Arriving in Baltimore, he found that he hail missed the Philadelphia train, which ! expected to take, and would have to wait two or three hours for the next train. He went into a restau rant near tlie depot to get loroe re freshments. There he met some of his old West Point ft, nils, n ,0 invi ted htm to a champagne supper that night. He accepted Hie invitation and went.

The next morning- he was picked up and taken to the .Maryland Hospital. He was delirious wit), brain fever.

This is quite an advance here on this subject. The Bishop of Exeter, how ever, h is has !;id th(. moral courage to advance stiil further, and lo advo eate thejW 's afi of what is here called a Permi-sive Bill, which is what we should call a Prohibitory Hill.
