THE TROJAN HORSE. But nevertheless Troy was to remain impregnable so long as it retained the Palladium, wliioh, as we have before said, had boon given by Zeus to the founder of the city, Ilus. Ulysses, how ever, having disguised his person with miserable clothes and self-indicted wftunds, introduced himself into the city and found means to carry away the Palladium by stealth. Ho was uecog nized only by Helen, who concerted with him means for the capture of the town, A final stratagem was resorted to. At the suggestion of Athoue, Epeius aud Panopeus constructed a hollow wooden horse, capacious enough to con tain 100 men. In this horse the most eminent of the Greek heroes concealed themselves, whilo the whble Greek army, having burned their tents and protended to give up the siege, sailed away with their ships, which they anchored behind Tenedos. Overjoyed to see themselves finally relieved, the Trojans issued from tho city and wondered at the stupendous horse, on which was written, that it was dedicated to Athens by tho depart ing Greeks. They were not long at a loss what to do with it; and tho anxious heroes from within heard their consul tar tions, as well as the voice of Helen, when she pronounced tho name of each hero, counterfeiting the accent of his wife’s voice. Some desired to bring it into the city and dedicate it to flip gods; others advised distrust at the legacy. Laocoon, tho priest of Pose idon, came with his two sons, and, in his indignation, thrust his spear against the horse, lithe sound revealed that the horse was hollos?, but at the same mo ment Laocoon and one of his sons per ished miserably, two monstrous serpents having been sent by Here out of the sea to destroy them. The Trojans, terrified by this spectacle, and persuaded by the perfidious counsels of the traitor Simon —who had been expressly left behind by the Greeks to give them false infor mation—were induced to drag the fatal fabric into their city ; and, as the gate was not large enough to admit it, they even made a breach in their own wall. Thus the horse was introduced into the Acroplis, and placed in the Agora before Priam’s palace. But even now opinions were divided; many demanding that the horse should be cut in pieces, others ad vising that it should be dragged to the highest point of the Acropolis and thrown thence on the rocks below. The strongest party, however, insisted on its being dedicated to the gods as a token of gratitude for their deliverance After sunset the Greek fleet returned to tho shore of the plain of Troy and awaited the preconcerted signal. While the Trojans indulged in riotous festivi ties Simon kindled the fire-signal and as sisted the concealed heroes to open the secret door in the horse’s belly, out of which they descended. The city, was now assailed from within and without, and was completely sacked and de stroyed, nearly the whole population being slain. Priam, who had vainly sought shelter at the altar of Zeus Her kelos, was killed by Neoptolemus. His son, Delphobus, who, after the death of his brofher Paris, had become the hus band of Helen, was attacked by Ulysses and Menelaus. Ho defended his house desperately, but was finally overcome and slain. Thus Menelaus at length won hack his wife.— Dr. Schliemann'a “liios .” GREAT SPEED. In a back number of the Illustrated London News (for Aug. 10, 1844) the following paragraph occurs: “On the above day (Aug. 6, 1844) also were per formed some wonders of railway travel ling. The journey from Slugh to the Paddington terminus was accomplished in less time than the distance had ever previously been traversed by a special passenger train on the Great Western line. The eighteen miles and a quarter only occupied fifteen minutes and twelve seconds.” Two columns further on, also, we read that on the same occasion, viz., that of the birth of the Duke of Edinburgh, the trains conveying her Majesty’s Ministers came down to Slough in eighteen and seventeen and a half min utes respectively. If allowance be made for the shortness of the journey and the great proportion of time therefore rela tively consumed in getting up and reduc ing speed, it would be difficult to find an instance of greater rapidity than the first instance quoted, even in the trials t>f speed by Brunei. —Notes and Que ries. ITNPUNCTZ7AL PEOPLE. The lack of punctuality brings innu merable evils in its train. It is the can ker spot of successful business. Many are the instances in which the neglect to renew an insurance punctually has led to serious loss. With sound policy do the banks insist, under the penalty of a protest, on the punctual payment of notes, for were they to do otherwise, commercial transactions would fail into inextricable confusion. Many and many a time has the failure of one man to meet his obligations brought on the ruin of a score of others, just as the toppling down in a line of bricks of the master brink causes the fall of all the rest. Thousands remain poor all their lives who, if they were more faithful ifi their word, would secure a large run of custom, and so make their fortunes. Be punctual if you would succeed. Let everything in the way of amusement be neglected if you have a business en gagement to keep.

Unquestionably, says the London Builder, the moßt radioal point to be kept in view when constructing a house, with regard to permanent sanitation, is the nature of the concrete or foundation upon which it is to be constructed. If the foundation be of fostering, germ originating, malarious, gas-ovolving ma terials, nothing can go well with the health of those who inhabit that house, until the festering lias exhausted itself by lapse of many years—-perhaps many generations. When, in a neighborhood where building is going on, wo see a board announcing “ Rubbish may bo sliot here ! ” the public may tnko it for granted tho permission thus liberally aecorded will meet with literal fulfill ment. Odds and ends will he thrown there—“rubbish ” in its most obnoxious sense, Wc have had the curiosity, this some time past, to take stock of metro politan foundation-building rubbish, and have got quito accustomed to see the predominance among it of preserved meat in tin canisters, and old shoe leath er. It might have been thought that the manufacturers of prussiate of potash would have had something to say about the old shoes ; leather, like horn and hoof, being a factor in their chemical process. This, however, does not ap pear to have been the case ; at any rate, it is not the case an extent that can satisfy any prophylactic physician. The preservative virtues of tan, notwith standing, leather will rot in time ; and while rotting will give off injurious em anations. It is tho preserved meat-tins to which the most injurious effects of such a foundation as we have described are mostly attributable, and, every day those tinned provisions coming more and more into use, the evil is exacer bated. A LOST CIVILIZATION. Sir William Jones, in his voyage to India, found the in island of Johanna, a secluded speck in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa, this inscription in Ara bic, above the door of a mosque : The world was given tor our edifica- tion; Not for the purpose of raising sump tuous dwellings ; Life for the discharge of moral and religious duties ; Not for pleasurable indulgence; Wealth to be liberally bestowed ; Not avariciously hoarded ; And learning to produce good actions. And not empty disputes. The people who were guided by thes* maxims, if any people ever were, cer tainly exhibited a high degree of civili zation. It seems a great misfortune that they should have perished from the earth. Yet if such a race existed now, and they possessed a country worth any thing, some Anglo-Saxon race would kill them off or drive them out, and take possession of their lands, and whatever else they might have worjh stealing. reasons war. Why does boiling fast render meat hard ? Because the excessive action of heat causes the albumen of the meat to set solid, crisps up the fleshy fibers and prevents the heat having a gradual ac cess to the interior. Why, when a good soup or broth is re quired, should the meat be put into cold water ? Because, as the heat is de veloped very gradually, there occurs an intermixture between the juices of the flesh and the external matter. The soluble and the savory parts of the meat escape and enrich the soup. Why are stews generally healthful and digestible? Because, being com pounds of various substances, they con tain all the elements of nutrition, and, as the office of the stomach is to liquify solid food before digesting it, tire pre vious stewing assists the stomach in this particular. What causes the crackling noise when lard is put into a frying-pan ? Lard ' always contains some j >ortion of water, and it is the expansion of this water into steam, forcing its way through the fat. The heat at which fat or oil boils is much greater than water. When the crackling ceases the water has been driven off from the fat, and when the fat begins to boil or bubble its heat will be very high. Why, in frying fish, should the fat or oil be made very hot before the fish are put in ? Because, if the tempera ture is low when the fish is put into the frying-pan it becomes sodden in the steam formed by its water, but if the oil is very much heated the water will be at once driven off, and the fish nicely browned by the scorching oil. Why should fish or meat that is being fried be frequently turned? Because the turning assists the evaporation of the water. When the fish or meat is allowed to he too long the steam is generated under it and the surface becomes sod den ; and the moment the steam is driv en on the surfaoe catches to the hot pan and becomes burnt and broken. Why is broiled meat so juicy and sa vory? Because the action of the fire, hardening its surface, seals up the pores through which the juices might escape. It acts in the same way that the sudden dip into boiling water does upon the joints of meat, but more effectually. To turn broiling meat never use a fork, but tongs ; a fork opens an escape for the juice, and wastes the best parts of the meat. Why is cabbage rendered more whole some and nutritious by being boiled in two waters ? Because —according to Dr. Paris —cabbage contains an essential oil which is apt to produce bad effects ; and he recommends ymt it should be boiled in two successive waters, and then it is soft and digestible. Do' what good thou canst unknown ; and be not vain of what ought rather to be felt than seen.— William Penn. Leprosy exists to a considerable ex tent in the parish of Lafourche, La, A RKHINISCBNCH. An account of the inoidents connected with tho suppression of tho Chicago Timet by Gou. Burnside, in 1803, is go ing tho rounds, in which the fanciful statement is made that Mr. Storoy took o bundle of twenty-livo papers and elimbod out upon tho roof, and, by womis of the adjoining buildings, reached tho sheet, with the remark that uo never lost an edition ; and, also, that ‘.ho pressman took a hose and declared that he would scald anybody who should interfere. Anybody who knows Mr. Storey well will not need to ho informed mat lie did not wait till the quarters were so close before getting copies out of the office. The writer was a compos itor on the paper at the time, and can give a more accurate account of what took place on the night iu question. It was well understood iu the office that the commandant at Camp Douglas had orders to send a detachment of troops to tnko possession of the establishment and stop further editions of the paper, and it was known that the guard would leave the camp about midnight. Every man in the building knew the principal facts o fhe situation, and all labored hard at what i ver work was given out. “Takes” were short, and everything was kept well in hand. Two men, mounted on fleet horses, watched (ho entrance to the camp, and when they saw the soldiers emerge fo begin their march to tho Times office, some four miles distant, they made off as fast as their steeds could cover the ground to carry the news to ‘•.the old man.” At once the order was given to “close up,” and in a very short time tho press was running at high speed, printing an edition of tho paper which was unusually outspoken in tone. As soon ns a small pile of papers had ac cumulated at any “fly” they were promptly seized by someone and carried to a place of safety near by. To this labor everybody gave a willing hand, so that, when the guard arrived, a largo part of the edition had been printed and convoyed out of the building. The press was then ordered to be stopped, and further proceedings prevented. It was remarked that Mr. Storey was in an unusually spirited mood, mingling with the men with a familiarity never before noticed. He knew the affair would prove a good advertisement for the paper, as it certainly did. The fol lowing evening an immense meeting was held in the Court House Square, at which resolutions fiercely denouncing the suppression were adopted. Excito ment ran very high, and ferns were en tertained of a counter movement against the Tribune. That office was barricad ed to the ceiling with bundles of print ing-paper, and inside was said to be a large and well-armed guard of deter mined men. At the meeting there were present many men who had come in from the surrounding country, armed and resolute, to “ gee the Timet through.” The Unioh League was in session, and at short ihtetvajs received reports of the state of affairs in the square from special messengers. Con ciliatory speeches were made, and prom ises given of efforts to secure the revoca tion of the order, by means of which the immense crowd were restrained from violence. The next day President Lin coln revoked Burnside’s order, and the ’limes resumed publication. —Newspa }>er Union Monthly. TUB EXIiST CASTING. Cast iron is now in such general use that one might be apt to imagine that it had never been invented ; but, like Top sy, “hadgrowed.” Cast -iron was not, however, in commercial use before the year 1700, when Abraham Darby, an intelligent mechanic, who had brought some Dutch workmen to establish a brass-foundry at Bristol, conceived the idea that iron might he substituted for brass. This his workmen did not suc ceed iu effecting, being probably too much prejudiced iu favor of the metal with which they were best acquainted. A Welsh shepherd boy, named John Thomas, had some little time previous to this been received by Abraham Darby into Iris workshop on the recommenda tion of a distant relative. While look ing on during the experiments of the Dutch workmen, he said to Abraham Darby that he thought he saw where they had missed it. He begged to be allowed to try, so he and Abraham Dar by remained alone iu the workshop all night struggling with the refractory metal and imperfect molds. The hours passed on and daylight appeared, but neither would leave Ins task, and just as the morning dawned they succeeded in " casting an iron pot complete. The boy entered into an agreement with Abraham Darby to serve him and keep the secret. He was enticed by the offer of double wages to leave his master, but he con tinued faithful, and Uom 1709 to 1828 the family of Thomas were confidential and much valued agents to the descend ants of Abraham Darby. For more than 100 years after the night in which Thomas and his master succeeded in making an iron casting in a mold of fine sand, contained in frames and with air-, holes, the same process was practised and kept secret at Coalbrook Dale, with plugged keyholes and barred doors.— Hardware. The boy who left the piece of ice in the sun to warm up was no more foolish than the man who opened the store and expected people to hunt him out Rud buy his goods without advertising. “I never thought but once,” said Deacon Webbing, “ that it was a sin to steal an umbrella.” “ And when was that ?” asked a friend. ** It was when some'pesky thief stole my new silk one,” answered the deacon.

ARS HUHOLB, The modern housebreaker is, how ever, a far different person, and plays for a far higher stake. He has probalJy been in prison, and learned tho tricks .>f the trado in tho bourn of combined labor whilo undergoing penal servitude at Dartmoor or Portland. It is here that he receives tho first smattering of his scientific education. Ho mny havo been a clerk, or a discharged footman, or a small shopman, or an errand-lad —some one who has embezzled or purloined— and tho discipline of his prison career has resulted in nothing more than pre paring him for tho exciting trade of a professional thief. Society, he argues, has injured him by depriving him of his liberty, and he intends to ho revenged upon society. He becomes a compan ion of old thieves, and he is elected a brother iu tho freemasonry of crimo. He is told where property can be found, how it can he stolen, and where it can he disposed of. Stories of robberies, nud burglaries, and midnight advent ures, sound ns fascinating as the yarns of miners at the diggings. Chance may decree a long course of ceaseless work and no reward ; but when the “ turn-up” does come the prize is worth the win ning. Thus educated th •orctioolly in thieves’ knowledge, the felonious neo phyte comes out of prison to be a con necting link between the “lagged ’’ and “lucky.” He knows what policemen can be bribed, what information is nec essary for his undertaking ; what public houses and other haunts are frequented by thieves, and what should be the gen eral plan of the campaign on which he has entered. He does not go rashly to work, but bides his time, setting his traps and snares with tke care of an old sportsman. Unconsciously, domestio servants, male and female, drift into this world of roguery, and, before they are aware of it, are led to betray the confi dence of their employers. They are plausible fellows, these modern burglars; they can tell a good story and sing a good song ; they can flirt with the silly maids, and will “ walk out with them ” on Sundays ; they bet a little and play cards; and gradually they inmesh a household by the agency of the in-door servants, who have not the faintest idea of the real objects of the crafty fellows who have made themselves so agreeable. People express themselves surprised at the constant success of the confidence trick, and all the devices in which good acting and plausibility are opposed to selfishness and vanity; and yet they cannot realize the fact that agents of the “intelligence department” of knavery are constantly on the alert. —London Telegraph.

Why a hatter should bo madder than any other class of trauos men has never been satisfactorily ex plained, but the fact has remainod that hatters are considered mad by the adage. Perhaps the phrase libels a worthy company of men just as tho gravediggers in “Hamlet” lumped tho people of England and eallod [them all mad. It would seem that in this coun try there is nothing for a hatter to bo mad abont, especially as elections come around so frequently. Yet it is, also, too true that American hatters are very mad at present, and whether the phrase held good before, it certainly holds good now. There are 1,000 mad hatters in New Jersey alone, and at Orange, in that State, they have nearly had an Orango riot. Tho cause is anew hat finishing machine that will do the work of five hatters. The hatters are re solved not to allow these machines to be introduced; lieuce the trouble. Thus the ancient phrase “ as mad as a hatter" has new life infused into it.
