After having finished his daily task of dictation (for one of his favorite ooonpationa waa the dictation of his memoirs), and spent some hours in reading, he dressed about three o'clock, and then went ont, accompanied by General Bertraad, Monsieur Las Cases, or Gen. Oourgaud. , Eis rides were all directed to the neighboring village, which ha took much pleasure in exploring, and where he found himself more free from observa tion. Though the roads were in some places almost impassable, his taste for exploration seemed to increase rather than diminish even the pleasure of ranging this valley was to him a spe cies of liberty. The only thing to which be had an nnoonqnerable aver sion was meeting the English sentinels, who was constantly stationed to watch him.1 In one of these rides he found a sequestered spot in the valley, which afterward became to him a daily retreat for meditation. One day he discovered a neat cottage among the rocks of the valley, and en tered the garden attached to it, which was radiant with flowers and geraniums, which a young girl waa watering. This young girl was a brunette, and aa fresh as her flowers; she had large blue eves of most pleasing expression, and Napoleon, always an admirer of the fair sex, was muoh struck with her beauty. "Pray, what ia your name?" ho in quired. . "Henriette," she replied. r "Tour surname, I mean?" , "Brow." "Yon seem very fond of flowers." "They are all my fortune, sir." ""How is thatr . "Every day I take my flowers to the town, where I obtain a few sous for my bouquets.''. , "And your father and mother, what do theydor' "Alas! I have neither, replied the young girl, with much emotion. Noparenta?" - "Not one; I am quite a stranger in this island. Three years ago my father, an Engliah soldier, and my mother left Ixmdoa with me for the Indies, but, alas, my father died on the voyage, and when the vessel reached this island, my poor mother was so ill that sheconld not proceed further, and we were left here. Bha waa ill for a long time, and having no resource left for our support, I was advised to sell flowers. A gentleman in the town, who made inquiries as to our prospects, took pity on us, and gave us this cottage, where my mother's health improved, and where she lived nearly two years, during which we were sup ported by the sale of flowers. About a year ago my poor mother had a relapse, and obtained a release from all earthly sufferings. On her deathbed she recom mended me to trust in Providence, and I feel a pleasure in obeying her last wish." The young girl, having thus spoken, bust into tears. During this short re cital Napoleon was much affected, and Jfhen she burst into tears, he sobbed ondly. At length he said: "Poor ehiMl What sins could you have committed that yon should have be!i exile 1 b?re so miserably? Singular f aUIltnaai of destiny ! Like me, she has no country, no family eha has -4no j mo''or, and I ILave nocliiidr ! Atr pv-oi !'". " UiCiio words, the j vrsr r 1 an -My, and his 1 ; tiis'great-msn, l-tu most bri;aatXbrsin, travels down the spinal column, WISO eit at souvenir of my visit to your cottage. Gather some of your best flowers and make a grand bouquet." Henriette quickly made the bouquet, and when Napoleon gave her five Louis d'or for it, she cried; with astonishment: "Ah, grand Die a I sir, why did you not come sooner 1 My poor mother would not then have died! "Well, well, my child, those are very good sentiments. I will come and see you again." Then, blnsing and regarding the five pieces of gold, Henriette replied: . "But, sir, I can never give you flowers enough for all this money. Do not let tnat trouDie you. nswered Napoleon, smiling. "I will me and fetch them. e then left her. When he had re- gstined his companions he miormea thtfm of his discovery. He seemed hajpy in having found one as unfortu nate as himself to console; and, on the potV the young Henriette augmonted the speoial nomenclature of Longwood. He called her "the Nymph of St. Hel ena," i for among his friends Napoleon habitually baptized all that surrounded him by a familiar cognomen. Thus the part of the island which 'he most frequented, he called the "Valley of Silfin, Mr. TUmomhe. with whom he stayed on his first arrival at Bt. Helena, was the "Amphitryon." j His cousin, the ma-or, who was about six feet high, was calied "the Giant." Sir George Cock burn was designated as f'Mr. Admiral," when the Emperor was pleased; but when he had cause for complaint, his only title wss " the Shark." Some days after this visit to the cot tage, Napoleon said, when dressing, that he would return to his pupil, and per form his promise. He found the young girl at home; she had learned since his last visit the name of her benefactor; and much moved, not so much by his past grandeur as by his recent calamities, en treated him to accept the hospitality of her humble cottage. She then brought him figs, and water from the spring of the river valley. ! "Sire," she said to Napoleon, "I have waited at home for you Binoe you were last here, and have, consequently, not been able to procure wine for you, as our bounty will now enable me to do so." ' t "And if you had," said the Emperor, "I should have scolded you well. When I come to see you I wish nothing better than your water, which is excellent On this condition, I will revisit you. After all, I Jaia an old soldier as your poor father was; and the soldier who is not satisfied with figs and water is no soldier at all." From this day Napoleon .did not visit the valley without calling at the cottage of Henriette. On these occasions she presented him with a magnificent bou quet, prepared especially for him; and after a little friendly chat with her he would continue his ride, familiarly dis cussing with those who acoonipanied him on the great and excellent qualities which this young English girl possessed. In the following year Napoleon began to suffer from the attacks of the malady which afterwards proved fatal to him. ; : Henriette, not receiving the visits of her benefactor, went to inquire after his health; aDd after having left the custom ary bouquet with one of his. attendants, returned home very disconsolately. One day shortly afterward, as she was sitting in her garden, she heard the sound of an approaching carriage, and, running quickly to the gate, found herself in the presence of Napoleon. As soon as she beheld him her face assumed an ex pression of great sadness. "You find me much changed, do you not, my child ?" said he, in a faint voice. "Yes. sire. I do. indeed; but I hope that you will be restored soon to health." "I muon aouot is, ne saw, snrnggmg his shoulders with an air of incredulity ' Nevertheless, I much wished to pay yon a visit to-day, to see you and your flowers acam. He then slowly descended from the carriage, and, leaning on the arm of Ber trand, reached the cottage. When he was seated he observed : "Give me a cup of water from the spring, my dear Henriette; that will, perhaps, cool the fever which consumes me here, (laving his nand on nis side.) 'The vonncr oirl hastened to fetch some. When Napoleon bad partaken of it his countenance, till then contracted, be came serene. j 'Thanks 1 thanks! my dear child," said he; "this water has eased my sufferings a little. If I had taken it sooner, per haps " added he, raising his; eyes to Heav"ap; but it is too late. "Ah! replied Jienriette, :anecting sraiety of manner, "I am so happy this water does you good. I will bring some every day; it will perhaps ciire you." "No, my dear child, it will b useless now: all is over. I fear this will bo the last visit I shall make here. There is settled grief here which is consuming me (and the Emperor touched his side), and as I mav never see you again. I wish to leave you a iwenoir of me. What shall I Kive you?" i At these words the young girl could contain herself no longer but, bursting into heartfelt tears, fell at tho feet of the Emperor saying : - "Vnnr Wfisainff-sire!" I Napoleon rose and blessed her with becoming gravity, for he always had re BDect for the creeds of others. From this day Henriette did not fail to visit Lonirwood regularly, sue carriod water from the spring and her ustomary bouquet, but always returned ihome dis consolate; lor eacu aay sne received uie most alarming accounts of the health of the emperor. . I At the commencement of May, 1821, when the sun shone more brightly than usual. Henriette was informed; that Na poleon was much better and that his reason had returned. She arrived at Longwood, but alas! the reality was the reverse of her hopes She found every one there in consterna tion. This time, fearing that he was dvinsr. and wishing to see him once again, she desired to be admitted to his presence. She was told that he was too ill, and tbat it was impossible. Her sup- Jihcations were at first in vain; but at ength her tears and entreaties prevailed, and she was admitted to his chamber. It was at this moment that Napoleon, surrounded by his faithful friends, and lying on his death-bed, had requested them to place the bust of his son be fore him. He then bade affecting fare wells to his friends and to the French people, whom he loved so well. His arms then contracted with convulsions. his eyes became fixed, while he gasped, "France! My son!" Then all was si lent. Napoleon had ceased to live. At these words the flowers which the young girl had brought dropped from her trembling handa; she fell on her knees by the bedside; then, making an effort, she seized and tried to press the hand of Napoleon to her lips but im mediately her head fell back, her mouth was discolored, her eyes fixed, as she sunk on the floor, buried in that sleep which knows no waking. Henriette was dead! 1 Written Examinations. J A writer in an educational journal says: "Of all species of labor, whether manual or mental, marking children's examination papers is the hardest. One hour of such work' is equivalent, in the intensity of fatigue, to ten hours directed to literary or clerical labor. The exas peration at the blunders observed grows like the pressure of steam in a boiler, without the poor advantages of a vent or safety-valve,"not even that of swearing. Persons of other occupations, however laborious, have the legal, if not the moral right, to express in fitting terms their un biased opinion of the mortals over whom ther have control; bnt the teacher must grin, and proceed to mark with calmness and deliberation, with judicious discrim ination, the work that would break his heart, or turn his head, if the pain were not somewhat evenly distributed over the ,whol body. The fatigue ,of the work commences , at the base Of the creep along the limbs, and, coming to a jumpijig-plaee st the tips of the finger w '"wsoes. taxes one wistrui inn''w--Hen, The Isthmus Ship Hallway. Captain James B. Eads, the well known engineer who has projected a ship railroad across the isthmus, arrived in this city from St. Louis a day or two ago, and was visited by a Tribunt reporter yesterday at the Albemarle Hotel. "I have come to New York city," he said, "for the purpose of conferring with capitalists and persons interested in my enterprise. In two or three weeks I shall start for Mexico in order to find out whether I may expect any encourage ment from the Mexican government. In other enterprises the government has given grants of land, and even subsidies, and I am anxious to know whether it would be disposed to aid us effectually in the matter. "As far as the route of my railroad Is concerned." Capt Eads continued, "nr 7t preferences are for the Tehauntepeo. is trne that the ground to be covered in this region is far greater than at the two other points proposed; namely, Panama and Nicaragua. 'But taking an American point of view, we find that a vessel going from New York to any point in Cali fornia, would gain by the Tehuantepec route 1500 miles over the Panama, and ' 700 over Nicaragua. Another objoction ! to the Panama route is that a bolt of calm reaches from one end of the coast to the other on the Pacifio side, which would greatly impede tho progress of vessels which had crossed the isthmus." "What do you think of the construc tion of the Panama canal?" the reporter asked. "In my opinion, that canal will never be dug at all, because the present age is by far.too practical to incur the cost of such an . undertaking when the transfer of ships can be accomplished more safely and more expeditiously by a ship rail road that will cost one-third as much as a canal over any of the three routes that may be taken for comparison. The larg est ships which enter the port of New York can be transferred when fully loaded with absolute safety across the itsthmus on the marine railroad. On such a railroad the grades need be no steeper than those on our chief lines, and the road bod need not be over forty feet wide nor have more than eight or ten rails laid npon it to sustain the car or cradle upon which the ship is placed. The weight of the largest merchant steamer, and their cargoes seldom exceed eight thousand tons, and such a one would easily be carried on a cradle composed of five locomotives built for the purpose. These would have about one thousand wheels bearing on eight or ten rails with a pressure of about twelve tons to the wheel. The total weight of ship, cargos and cradle would be distributed over an area of roadbed 40 feet wide by 600 feet long, and would be only 1,250 pounds for each square foot, allowing 2,000 for the weight of of the car. This is not half the pressure on the earth under each tie when each pair of the driving wheels of an ordinary locomotive engine passes over it. An ordinary freight locomotive engine will pull about fifty loaded cars on moderate grades from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. A burden. of about 1000 tons, constituting the weight of the cars and their load, is carried on about 400 wheels. The largest ship and her entire cargo, therefore, should not require more than the power of a dozen such locomotive engines to move it at the same rate of speed over similar grades. From this it must bo evident that the ship, once safely placed on a properly constructed oar adjusted to the railway of a substantial and well ballasted road bed, can be Jmoved with certainty and ease at a much higher rate of speed than would be safej in the very best canal that has been proposed. "I think the actual cost of operating such a railroad would be, in proportion to the tonnage moved over it, considera bly less than that of the most successful railway line in this country, for the rea son that the tonnage carried would be exclusively handled by machinery, and the ratio of paying cargo to non-paying weight wouldj be much greater. In pro portion to the tonnage, the cost of main tenance should also be much less." JXew York Tribune. Tender Memories. The followii g lines will tone n a sym- pathetic chon tn many hearts: "I saw my wife pull ut the bottom drawer of the old boreai one evening, and I went softly out and wandered up and down until I knew le had shut it and gone to her sewing. e have some things laid away in that drawer which the gold kings could not bny, and yet they are relics which will grieve us until both our hearts are sore. I haven't dared to look at them for a year; but I remember each article. There are two worn shoes, a little chip hat, with part of the brim gone, some st askings, pants, a coat, two or three spools, bits of broken crockery, a whip, and several toys. Wife, poor thing, goes to icf drawer every day of her life, and prays t, ?r it, and lets her tears fall upon the precious articles, but I dare not go. Sometimes we speak of little Jack, but) not often. It has been a longtime, but Somehow wo can't get over dreaming. Sometimes, when we sit alone of an evening, I writing and she sewing, a child in the street will call out as our boy used to, and we both start up, with beating hearts and a wild hope, only to find the darkness more of a burden than ever. It is still and quiet now. I look np to the window where his blue eyes used to sparkle at my coming, but he is not there. I listen for his pattering feet, his merry shout, and his ringing laugh, but there is no sound. There is no one to search my pockets and tease me for presents, and I never find the chairs turned over, the broom down, or ropes tied to the door knobs. I want someone to tease me for my knife, to ride on my shoulder; to lose my axe; to follow me to the gate when I go, and be there to meet mo when I come; to call "good night" from the little bed now empty. And wife, she, she misses him still more. There are no little feet to wash, ho prayers to say, no voice teasing for lumps of sugar, or sobbing with the Eain of a hurt toe, and she would give er own life almost, to awake at mid night and look at the bed and see our boy there as he used to be. . So we pre serve our relics, and when we are dead we hope that strangers will handle them tenderly, even if they shed no tears over them." Rochester Union. Comparison and Diff&renoe- It is said that einno the publication of Edward Arnold's "Light of Asia," in Eastern cities it is becoming the fashion for ladies of literary inclina tion to study Sanskrit and tho Ian. guago in which tho sacred Yeda hymns are written. This is not strange, for no book for years has produced such an impression upon scholars as that "Light of Asia." In incomparable poetry it tells of ono who lived six of seven centuries be foio Christ, who dared to denounce the hereditary priesthood and to de clare that all men were equal. More, ho used his princely power to substi tute for bloody sacrifices the offering of flowers and perfumo with prayer, lie laid down a moral code as high and pure as ever was given to men. All this is told in tho "Light of Asia" with such grace and power, that such a scholar as Oliver Wendell Holmes pronounces it next in majesty to the New Testament. Indeed, the only advantago the New Testament has is that, while the heart of Gnat araa was Christ-like, no light beyond this world was -given him. He could not tell his people what was to come with death; ho had no idea of a personal God, and bin followers after . his death divided, one por tion believing tbat the ultimate end of man was to be absorrHionlof tho personal being into th;t msCi-Y the other teaching ultirate annihila tion. So his creed eittng to only by those who " fcath the haw of the Or-" ia enliflhtoucd national t rather than Science for the People. According to Dr. W. M. Hudson, one of the fish commissioners of Connecticut, 58,000 young Penobscot salmon, hatched last spring at the hatching house at Po quonnock, have been placed in ! the I armington river and its tributaries. Of land-locked salmon eggs from Grand Lake stream. Eastern Maine, 91,000 were hatched and distributed. The demand for these young salmon to be used in stocking ponds and streams has been very great. From the eggs introduced by the commission four years ago, sal mon weighing from two and a half to four pounds each have been taken in Hog pond, in Lyme, in Snipsio pond, in liockville, in Long pond, in Winchester, and in Twin lakes, in Salisbury, and in many others the young fish are said to be growing and thriving finely. The young salmon were this year sent to all parts of the State and put into such lakes, ponds and streams as seemed adapted to their wants. Brook trout to the number of 110,000 were hatched and distributed, and even this large number was insufficient to sup ply the demand. Arrangements have been made to secure 400,000 young fry next spring. Regarding the experiment of hatching young shad in the waters of the Sound by artifioial means, Dr. Hud son says : With the exception of a few thousand young shad hatched at Weth ersfield the operation waa a failure. The shad taken were found to be immature, and any attempt to preserve them until ripe in fresh water resulted in their speedy death. Professor John Trow bridge, of Harvard, has been studying the spreading of the electric current from the grounded terminals of a battery in connection with the time signal service from Cambridge to Boston and the vari ous wires of the telephone company. As one result he announces that it is possi- ble to-day to telegraph across the i Atlantio ocean without a cable. Power- f ul dynamo-electric machines could be j placed at some point in Nova Scotia, hav j ing one end of their circuit grounded '; near them and the other end grounded in Florida, the conducting wire con I sisting of a wire of great conductivity j and carefully insulated from the earth, except at the two grounds. By explor I ing the ooast of France, two points on i two surface lines, not at the some time I potential could be found ; and by means I of a telephone of low resistance, the i Morse signals sent from Nova Scotia to . Florida could be heard in Franoe. I Theoretically, Mr. Trowbridge says, this ! is possible; but practically, with the J light. of our present knowledge, the ex I penditure of energy on the dynamo ' electric engines would seem to be enor I mons. . .. jr 1 A simple method of determining the ; temporary hardness of water has been lately described by Herr Wharthon to j the Berlin Chemical Society. A tube j about 30 to 50 ctm. long is used; and ! near its rounded end is a mark denoting j 10 cnb. ctm. From this mark to the i mouth, the tube is divided into 0. 1 j cub. ctm. Water is put in up to the i lowest mark, and with it a small piece of I filtering paper which has been saturated ! with logwood extract and dried; this i makes the water violet. Then normal muriatic acid is added fram a drop-flask, j till the color of the liquid ap l proaches orange. The thumb is then j placed on the mouth of the tube, and the j latter is shaken, whereby most of the . carbonic acid is liberated, and the liauid becomes red again. (The removal of the carlionic acid may be promoted by blow ing into the tube after each shaking.) More acid is added, and the action re peated, with weaker effect, and at length the color of the liquid is changed to a bright citron-yellow; The amount of acid used is then read off on the tube. With these simple materials the alkalin ity of a sories of springs or wells may be examined during a walk. Killed by Inches. The origin of the abovo expression is thus explained in a recent English work. Allusion is made in the phrase to divers ways of prolonging capital punish ment in olden times; e. g. 1. The "Iron coffin of Lissa." The prisoner was laid in the coffin, and Baw the iron lid creep slowly down with almost perceptible movement slowly, silently, but surely; on, on it came with relentless march, till, after lingering days and nights in suspense, the prisoner was at last slowly crushed by the iron lid slowly coming npon him. 2. The Baiser de la Yierge, or the "Virgin's Kiss," of Baden-Baden. The prisoner, blindfolded and fastened to a chair, was lowered by a windlass down a deep shaft from the top of the castle into the very heart of the rocks on which it stands. Here it remained until it was conducted to a torture chamber, and commanded to kiss the brazen statue of the "Virgin" which stood at the end of the passage; but immediately when he raised his lips to give the kiss, down he fell through a trap door on a wheel with spikes, which was set in motion by the fall. 3. The "iron cages of Louis XI" were so constructed that the victims might linger for years, but whether they sat, stood or lay down, the position was equally uncomfortable. The Chamber a Cruce or "crushing room" was a heavy chest, short, shallow, and lined with sharp stones, in which the sufferer was packed and buried alive. The "Bernicles" consisted of a mat tress on which the victim was fastened by the neck, while his legs were crushed between two logs of wood, on the upper most of which the torturer took his seat This process continued for several days, till the sufferer died with the lingering torment. Many other modes of stretch ing out the torment of death might easily be added. The Duty on Sara's Wardrobe. So nrodiffftl ia Sara TiernlmWlt wifli ! r mnv ,1 r. 1- nAnl V.l - economy on her part to take measures to do the United States Government out of the import duty on the dresses she brings to this country. Report has it that she is now exercising herself in three of her dresses each day, in order to bring them through the Custom House as apparel which has been worn. There are forty-seven dresses, besides a large cata logue of feminine sundries. The total duty on this lot of finery will be about $8,000. The Custom House officers say that such a collection is too large to be called either wearing apparel or imple ments of trade. If invoiced as works of art they can be admitted free of duty, provided they are taken out of the country within six months. To this end it is necessary to put the goods in bond. But if Sara's drbsses were locked in a bonded warehouse dur ing her stay in this country, her bring them would be in vain. Therefore it is proposed to put the lady herself to gether with the dress in bond, and, in stead of locking her and them np in a musty storeroom, to let a Custom House officer continually accompany her. This would be in some respects a distinguished honor for such an officer, but the honor would hardly console him for the risk of being knocked down whenever the bril liant Sara should be in one of her petu lant or frisky moods. The proper thing for Sara to do in regard to the raiment would be to bring it all in, invoiced at the utmost price she can put on it, and bravelv pay on the whole lot the biggest duty the Custom House people will con sent to receive. It would be a much bet ter advertisement of all these fine clothes to herald them as those which paid more duty than any other clothes ever landed in this country than to let the public un derstand that they dodged the duties. Even if there is not much of Sara her self, there is a good deal of her when her finery is taken into account. Professor Babo, of Frieburg, has taken out a German patent for coating the xnoutb-end of cigars with collodion (by simply dipping and drying) in order to prevent the leaf . from unrolling or softening with the moisture of the xnouiik, JSgars thus treated are said to smoke more piattfiaysW.,d jogger. - Ci- : gars with thin covering leaf ari entirely dipped in collodion.

It takes as much wit not to displease a woman as it takes little to please her. It is surprising how near age brings a woman to death and how little it pre pares her for it. The woman who confides to one man her partiality for another seeks advise less than an avowal, It takes one less time to get over one's own misfortune than to be reconciled to a neighbor's good fortune. - The latest school understands litera ture as much as the English do cookery. Its ideal is raw meat and plenty of condi ments. How many of our writers most in vogue should bear in mind that if talent supplements everything it can dispense with nothing. There are people with whom penitence stands for repentenee people with whom wearing mourning dispenses with feel ing sorrow. One should meet death as resolutely as a general would meet an inevitable conqueror. This is the best way to ob tain easy conditions. It is above all in love that a feast is not as good as enough. A wit insists on revealing himself where he is only asked to show himself. The highest mark of esteem a woman can give to a man is not to ask his friend ship, and the most signal proof her in difference is to offer him hers. She is to be pittied who thinks to find a friend other than her husband, if she be a wife, than her children, if she be a mother, than God if she be neither. The jealousies of friendship are in this more exhausting than those of love: there are only phantoms to fight, and the price of peace is merely a chimera. Those women are to be pitied who pass their lives between the world and the theater: poor souls who have only fiction as a relief from falsehood. Friendship is a picnio to which all par ties contribute, and therefore is some thing women cannot understand. With them ono party or the other must stand treat. The customer is inclined to think that a dollar apiece is rather an extortionate price for watermelons, but he wouldn't think so if he had to sit on the fence every night for a month, with shot-gun in hand, keeping off trespassers. SELECTED MISCELLANY". . Take the man who knows everything, pin him down close, and you'll discover that he doesn't know very much after all; and what he does know he's not right sure of. It is stated that Edison has discovered a method for making lemonade without lemons or sugar. Pshaw! managers of picnics found out that method years ago. "Ives seen you before," as the para grapher of the Lockport t7io re marked in one of his jokes, which, fatherless, he found going the rounds of the patent outside papers. - Somebody says, "speech is raiment of ideas." But how is it when a man makes a bare assertion, or states a naked fact? What does it profit a darkey if he owns forty acres and a mule if he has only a nickle about his person and watermelons are selling for ten cents. Can't some means be brought to bear upon the housefly that would keep him asleep mornings till people are ready to wake up. The children who hate the warm weather of the dog days, may live in hopes of having a nice school breeze in September. It seems to us that the only issues now before the country are: How much wheat can we grow? and how much is Europe going to require from us? The man who bows his head in sub mission gets over it quicker than the man who bows his head in a hangman's halter. A young lady presented herself to the office of M., the celebrated dentist. "Monsieur M.," she said, "I must have this vacancy filled with an artificial tooth." "Bnt mademoiselle, I have all ready filled it three times." "That does not matter 1 Jean and Maurice and All phonso are each wearing one of them set in a ring. I most have another for Charles." The Old Forests Under the Sea. In many districts, says an English scientific paper, where our shores are shelving as near the mouths of the Tay, the Huber and Severn after a more than ordinary tempestuous day, we see quan tities of a peaty looking, matter cast up by the sea, and the entire beach black ened with its triturated fragments. If we examine any of the larger pieces of this black looking matter, we find that it is made up of dark clay filled with peat, pieces of wood, mosses, equisetums and the like, the characteristic vegetation of cold, moist ground. This is washed up by the sea from old forest beds, now submerged below the level of the waters. In excavations for docks and bridges these ancient floors are cut into by the workmen. Eve rywhere we find them to be composed of some thickness of peaty matter, in which lie prostrate trunks of the oak, the fir and our common forest trjees, the old roots of the monarchs of the forest stood in place, and scattered on the old forest floors lie the acorns and hazel nuts that dropped from the trees of the wood in its prime, and the sub-fossil antlers of the deer and elk that roamed the forest glades. The whole is usually buried un der a much later accumulation of sand and clay, full of our commonest sea shells, laid down by the sea waters that have overspread the site of the old for est since its submergence. Fall Plowing. The better the preparation of the ground the better the crop. The high average crop of the English farm is no doubt largely due to the thorough pre paration of the ground before seeding. Our climate is superior to that of Eng land for wheat growing, yet a production of 64 bushels per acre is not uncommon among farmers there, while here 40 bush els per acre is an unusual production. Two plowings, several harrowings, and in many cases rolling or crushing ; and the excellent preparation of the soil by a previous root crop must have a much better effect npon the soil than one E lowing, very poorly done because of the ardness and dryness of our soil in mid summer, and very imperfect harrowing. It might be well for ns to lay out more labor on our wheat crop, and so prepare the ground better, and raise our average from 12 to at least 20 bushels to the acre, The difference in the amount of wheat at harvest would pay for a great deal of extra work in plowing, etc., and yet leave a profit; besides the soil would not forget the generous treatment in one year nor two. What the Thumb Does. -Have yon noticed that when yon want to take hold of anything a bit of bread we will say that it is always the thumb who puts himself forward, and that he is always on the side by himself, while the rest of the fingers are on the other. If the thumb is not helping, nothing stops in your hand, and you don't know what to do with it. Try, by the way of ex periment, to carry your spoon to your mouth without putting your thumb to it, and see how long it will take yoa to get through a poor little plate of broth. The thumb is placed in such a manner on your hand that it can face each of the other fingers, one after the other, or all together, as yon please, as with a pair of pinchers, ail objects whether large or small. The bands owe their perfection of ujjaf alness to this happy arrangement, '" ' 4een bestowed on no other man's nearest scmnnc scrips. ; , Prance imported during the first seven months of this year 558,175 tons of iron minerals, taking from Algeria alone 176, 179 tons. 1 , A Frenchman named Anne, has made experiments on himself with regard to the effects of inhaling oxygen, and he makes the statement that one may absorb 100 liters, and even more, daily, without inconvenience. . Chinese varnish is made by mixing three parts of fresh blood, whieh has been deprived of ita fibrine by beating with small twigs or broom straws, four parts of slaked lime and a little alum. This may be used at once. It is said tbat straw baskets coated with it are rendered water and oil tight, and that pasteboard to which it has been applied becomes as hard as wood. Behm and Wagner, in their sixth is sue of the "'Population of the Earth," which has just appeared, estimate the total population at 1,455,923,450. Eu rope is assigned 315,929,000 inhabitants; Asia 834,707,000; Africa, 205,679,000; Australia and Polynesia, 4,031,300; the Polar regions, 82,000; the United States, 48,000,000. BishopEligio, at Chong-Tong, in Chi na, has invented an alphabet of thirty three letters, by means of whioh all the sounds of the Chinese language can, it is said, bepresented. The Emperor of Aus tria has been so well pleased with the in vention that he has presented the Bishop witn a complete typographical apparatus so that the new alphabet mav be em ployed in printing.

Mr. Simmons stated that when he some years ago made a similar trip at Hull, he went twenty miles out to sea, and then got into an anticipated re. turn current, which he found a few feet above - the outward current, and which safely landed him at the desired spot on terra firms. The President read a letter from member of the Society who had made one of his ascents in a thunder storm, and found the atmosphere at an altitude of about 200 feet and for a height of 100 feet to be of a dull leaden hue, but as soon as he had risen above this stratum he found the sky quite un clouded, and witnessed perfectly clearly the storm raging below in all its grandeur. AH E1TERPBUISO HBH, The Display of Slilndlsr at Chadbonrna at ha Pavilion Tbclr tractory at W 111a- Dmraj The gentlemen who are associated In the furniture business under the familiar firm name of Sblndler k Chadbonrne are men not less of social than of iraaineas and nnanclal utanding in this community.

Whether taken as a whole or in detail, the dlplay la the finest in its line ever made north of Ran Francisco, and a visit to the fair la well repaid by viewing it even If were the enly attraction. The presence of a wide awake resident partner in San Francisco, with extensive eastern connections, enablea the firm to furnish, without delay, anything in their line demanded by this market at prices that distance competition. Take for instance the trade in carpets in which the house does a largil ouainess. In order to keep up with the demand for latest and beet patterns, the arrivals in Han Francisco of new goods are watched with care, and the beat possible selections made. The same ia true of upholstery and drapery. An; thing new and desirable is certain to find lta way to the spacious warehouses and store rooms of this firm. Iu every festure that goes to make up business success, a complete stock, the ability to fully supply all wants, aelectiena to suit all tastea, prices uniformly the lowest that prudence can dictate, and honorable dealing, Messrs Shiudler a Chad bourne occupy an envied position. TDEia VAcroar. The furniture factory of this energetic firm, is located at Wlllsburg, one mile south of the car shops on the O. a C. railroad. Steam power, taxes, and interest on Invested money in factories in cities is no light burden to manufactories. As the mariner avoids shoals and quicksands, so in the location of their factory, ShinUler 4 Chadbonrne avoided all needleaa outlay and heavy running expenses, where others, less wise, have fallen into those errors. They bought about two years ago ten acres of land with one of the beat water privileges in the state, erected suitable buildings, put in machinery of the latest snd best kinds, and there, within four miles of Portland, they produce every grade of furniture required in their large and growing business. We were through the factory some months ago, and have not Ineen an establishment which seemsato aw con ducted with! more system, or better management. We see from our sanctum daily great loads of their furniture crossing at the ferry from the factory to the warerooms. The most successful flouring mills In this state in fact the only profitable ones have been those run by Water power, while steam power mills have been far from profitable. In New England the great chair and furniture factories are ia the interior adjoining atreams furnishing motive power. The greatest furniture factories of Grand Baplda, Michigan, are run by water power. Hhindler a Chadbonrne have certainly acted wisely In locating their factory in the country, and using the motive power furnish ed without price by nature. Great plies of ash, maple, spruce, cedar, walnut and fir are storked about the factory. A year'a supply is alwaya stored to Insure proper aeasoning, and one of the most annoying featurear-shtinklug and swelling of furniture thus avoided. Only the most skilled artisans are employed. Chamber suits, office, libra ry, parlor and dining room furniture are produced In large quantities, and from the lowest priced chair to the finest bedstead, nothing ia allowed to leave the factory without strict examination and the assur ance of perfect workmanship in every detail. The stores snd warerooms of the firm are located on First and Front streets between Morrison and Yamhill and occupy three floors fifty by two hun dred feet, What we have described of their exhibit in the pa vilion can at any time be seen largely multiplied by a look their establishment where all visitors wheth er purchasers or not will receive every attention.
