Diunkino Impure Water.—Bet it pitcher of iced water in n room inhabi ted, and in a few hount it will have ab- Hnrbod from tho room nearly oil tlio ton pirod and pomiired gases of Iho room, tho air of which will have become purer, but the water utterly filthy. This do ponds on tho fact that water has tho fnc- ulty of condensing, and thereby of nb> sorbing ull the gases, which it does with out increasing its own bulk. Tho colder tho water is tho greater its capac ity to contain these gases. At an ordinary temperature n pint of water will contain u pint of ImiliouiR acid gas and sevurul pints of nmmoniu. This capacity is Hourly doubled by reducing the temper ature to tlmt of ico. Hence, water kept in a room a while is always unfit for use, and should bu often renewed, whothor it has become worm or not. And for the same roafiOli tho water in a pump stock should bo pumped out iu tho morning before any ol it is usod. That which has stood in tho pitchor ovor night is not fit for coffee wntcr in the morning. Jin- nine water is moro injurious to the health than impure air, and every per son should provide the means of obtain ing fresh, pure water for domestic uses. Tu* Strongest Man in the World.— A native of Australia, Mr. J. K. ICvans, recently gave an exhibition of remarka ble strength at tho Hea Hotel, in Ches terfield, England, to establish liis claims as the strongest man in tho world. He held u fifty-six pound weight in various positions, ut arm’s length, uml increased tho number until ho raised four fifty six pound weights above his heud, bolding them at Hi nt’s length, and at the snino lime studding upon four tumblur glasses, lie also hold the weights on the top ol the glass, and allowed a glass of water to Ihs placed upon thetopof the weights. He laid flat upon the floor, and let a fif ty-six pound weight full a dis tance of about a yard on his bnro chest, and tho weight rebounded ns though it had come in contact with a piece of in ilia rubber. A piece of stone, four inch es thick, was next placed upon bis chest, and Mr. Hindi, blacksmith, smashed it with two blows into fragments. Mr. H-ncb, and Mr. Turner, then cut n piece of two-inch iron in two across bis chest with the hammer and chisel. The feats concluded by Professor Hercules lying flat upon the floor, and allowing Air. flinch to strike him, with all hm strength, with u sixteen pound aledi hammer. Tho blow was mot by the Professor, and tho hammer rebounded without leaving a scratch upon his body. Too Muon Name.—Buys tho editor of a Mississippi paper : “A venerable citizen from tho north ern part of this State brought his favor ite little ls>y in to seo us on Tlitirudny. He is a bright little fellow, and well may the old gentleman be proud of him hut we fear his name is too much for the child's constitution. Thu happy father gave it as follows : Brugg Beau regard Johnston Lee Breckinridge Stonewull Jackson Davis Evan*,” InjrTho foreign immigration at New York is about equal in volume to that of last year. The Castle Burden Com missioners renort 6,2f>3 arrivuls during tho week ending on Wednesday. This makes a total of 163.0A9 from tho 1st January to date, against 163,051 for the corresponding season in 1866. The evenness of thesu numbers is aomething remarkable. How it was Done.—An Irishman, addicted to telling queer stories said he snw a mail beheaded with his hands tied behind him, who directly picked up his head and put it on his shoulders iu the right place. "Ha ! Iiu ! ha!’’ said a bystander.— “How could ho pick up his head when his hands were tied behind him ?” "An* sure what a party fool ye are !" said Pat. “Could't he pick it up with his lathe ? To the devil wid ycr bother ation !” Life at. the Pole. The bears, wandering continually through tbo night, must needs have a hard strugglo to live. During tho sum mer, tho seals, which furnish their only subsistence, crawl upon tho ice nnd nro easily caught; but in tho winter they only resort to tho cracks to breathe, and in doing so, barely nut their noses above tho wutor, so that tnoy nro taken with difliculty, Driven to desporation by hunger, the bears often will invade the haunts of man, in sarch of the food which their quick sense has detected. I bail an ndveturo, about this time, which shown that tho Polar hoar is not so ferocious as in gonernlly supposed , indeed, they have never been known to attack man except when hotly pursued und driven to close ounrters. titrolling, one day, along tho shore, 1 was observ ing, with much interest, the effect of the recent spring tides upon tho ico foot, wlion rounding a point of land, 1 suddenly found myself confronted in the faint moonlight by an enormotisc bear. He had just sprung down from the land ico, nnd was mooting me ut n full trot. We caught sight of each other at the same instant. Being without a rifle or other means of defense, I wheeled suddenly to the ship with, I fancy, much the snmo reflections about discretion nnd valor ns those which crossed tho mind of old Jnck Fulstuff when thu Douglnns set upon him ; but finding, after a few lengthy strides, that I was not gobbled up, I looked back over my shoulder, when, ns much to my surprise ns gratification, I suw the bear tearing away toward the open wafer with r» co- lerity which left iio doubt ns to the state of Ins mind. I suppose it would ho difficult to determinu which wan the most frightened—tho hear or I. Tho troops of foxoa about us woro at first quito tame; hut they bad boon cured of their fumiliurity by the Icbboiis lent nod from the limiters, and Imd to Lo approached with adroitness. Of both thu hluo nnd white varieties I had living specimens in iny cabin, Those two va rieties of tho fox, notwithstanding their many points of resemblance, nro eviden tly distinct, species. 1 have known them to mix, thu coat of each preserving its distinctive hue, that of tho blue fox varying merely iu distinctive slinuo, while the white changes only from the piiro white to a slightly yellowish tinge. Thoirskins aro much sought after by the trappers of South Greenland, wheVu the nniinal is rare, for the fur commands a fabulous price in the (’open Hagen market. The tough, nenrly linir’cfis hides of tho Grout Ben Lions, which nro about an inch thick, had a singularly iron-plntod look about them, particularly sugges tive of defense; while their Inigo tusks, which they brandished with an appear ance of strength that their awkwardness did not diminish, looked like very for midable weapons of offenso if applied to a boat’splanking or to the human ribs, if one should happen to find himself floundering ill tho sea among tlio thick skinned brutes. To complete the hide- ousnesH of u facial expression which the tusks rondcr formidable enough in ap- peurancc, naturo had endowed them with broad flat noses, which ore covered all over with stiff whiskers, looking vory much liko porcupine quills, nnd extend ing up to the edge ol u pair of gaping nostrils. Tlio use of these whiskers is ns obscure as that of the tusks ; though it is probable that tho latter may he as well wua|M)ii8 of off use and defenso ns for tlio most useful purpose of grupping up from Iho bottom of the sen tho inol- luriks which constitute their principal food. Tlioro were two old bulls in tho herd, who appeared to bu divid ing their time between sleeping nnd jamming their tusks in each other’s faces although they appeared to treat the matter with perfect indifferonco, on they did uot appear lo make any impression on each otlicr's thick hides. As wo ap proached, these old follows—neither of which eould have been less than sixteen feet long, nor smaller in girth than n hogshead—raised lip their beads, and, uflor taking n leisurely xurvoy of us, seemed to think us unwoithy of further notice ; und then punching each other ngniu in the fuce fell once moro to sluep. As wo jog on toward spring, each hour of the six mouths’ darkness grows a little longer, and souks a little moro color from the blood, nnd takes a little moro from the elasticity of the itep, nnd do a little more to the lengthened face, and checks, little by little, the cheerful I laugh and merry jest that come Horn tlio hold and cabin; and, without being willing to confess it openly, yet wo ure all forced to acknowledge to ourselves tlint the enemy does now und then get tho better of us, and tlmt we have often to renew tho resolution. The moon light comes and goes again, and the night glistens clear und cold over tho white landscape; and memory returns unbidden, to other duyR that are flod and gono ; we miss, in tho sparkling air and the still hour of the winter night, the jingling Itclls, und the sleigh which will ulways hold one more, nnd thesmok ing supper that “mine host” serves up, and tho crackling blaze of country logs; and then, when wo forgot tlio moon and tho snow, and tho frost, and recall the summer and the sunshine, wo remember tlmt “tlio seat in the shade of tho haw thorn hush” is far away.—Dr. Hayes Open Polar Sea. R6T“Tho Conservatives lmvo given .Kentucky Holm. Browolow has given Tcnuesave all but the last letter. From thu Richmond Whig. Gen. Lee on u Private VInII- Some Interesting Incidents Related. We publish without permission some oxfrnctn from a private letter written by a lady, descriptive of n recent visit of General Loo to some private citizens in u county adjoining that in which ho now resides. Wo lmvo taken this rosposibili- ty, because it illustrates qualities which command tho adiuirutinn of nil. He remumhers tlio friendship for himself and family cf those who can Dover ron dcr him any return snvo tho liomago which fidelity owes to virtue. It shows tho hold his qualities have on the hearts of tho Virginians, nnd a confidence tlmt ho would never employ it for thoir injury, and an unambitious disliko to notoriety and ostentation which would always in cline him to shun any exhibition of their attachment to him. Wo trust no one will suspect in this unauthorized notice of n private visit, anything else than n tribute to the worth of one who has nover been reproached with n single net ol dishonor in his pub- •lie or private relations. The day will come when, ns Lord Bussell recently snid in his eulogy of Washington, tho character of Lee will be appreciated as n national inheritance. Gen. Loo concluded to enjoy his va cation iu his own way. Accompanied by bin youngost daughter ho rode ueross tho mountain at the gap of the peaks of Otter. They stayed ail night nt the foot of the Leaks, and walked ihoy next day to tho top. From tho mountain they rode down to Bedford in tho rain, Miss Loo protocod by an oil cloth.— They arrived luto nt night in tho rain, nnd being unexpected wero not nt first recognized, Tho travelers woro soon refitted, tho young lady having managed with tlio resources of n soldier's daugh ter to pack a small wardrobe—duplex extensions no doubt included—in a pair of t-nddlo bngs. They both upnonrod in the parlor fresh as over, (iciiurul Loo enjoyed tho simple hospitality of these trno friends, and ret (li ned as he cnino, refreshed by the excursion and gratified to know that lliero nro still those in this evil world whom no misfortunes can nlionnto. The latter narrates several incidents wbioh illustrate the attachment of Iho iieopleto General Leo. They woro on thoir wny to tho l'caks on n mountain road ho hud never traveled beforo. 'There woro two little gills playing on tho rocks by tho road side. As soon us they saw him they whispered to onch other and rnn towards their hoinu. lie cnllod to them, and asked pleasantly, “Why do you run? Are you afraid of mo?" “Oh, no, sir," said Iho eldest, 1 wo ore not afruid, but wo ure not dressed nice enough to seo you." “Who, then do, you think I am ?’’ “You aro General Lee,” they both cxcliumed; “wo know you by your pioturta." “Ah anon," says tlio letter, “ns it was known General Loo wiihs nt our Iioiiho, tho people thronged to sou him. Tho ladies bruiight their children, nnJ lie received them with his characteristic kindness. IIi« old officers around here wore very nnxious to givo him an enter tainment, hut lie declined, lie !ins such a horror of notoriety that ho shrinks even from the public demountrntion of n small villngo. ‘His horses wero one night sont by mistake to tho hotel, hut tho proprietor refused any pay, saying he ‘would have boon happy to have entertained thoir owner." General Leo was troubled with his rufusnl, nnd said with a sigh, “Ah I this is tho wny those kind people do; I cannot go anywhere without giv ing them trouble. When ho came down stairs to tnko leave of cs, dressed iu liis white linen tarveling suit, with his boots outside of his puntaloons, I am sure that unknown, iu this simple attire, ho would have commanded the instinctive admira tion of the people nt tho Exhibition of Laris, sven among tho crowd of crowned heads, arrayed like ‘Solomon in ull his glory.’ As ho rode away, with liis daughter at liis side, tho pcoplo assem bled along the village sidewalk and stood with uncovered heads until ho pnHsed. Ho acknowledged this mark of respect by taking off liis hut until lie had paHsod along the line. It was a review in which the spontaneous aim- a of affection replaced tbo pomp sciplino of war ” 19" Mrs. Lar ting ton says : For my part I can’t deceive what on uirth eddi- cation iscomin to. When I was young, if a gul only understood tin: rules of dis traction, provision, multiplying, replen ishing, and the common denominator, and knew all ubout the rivers and their obituaries, the covenants and their dor- mitorios, tlic provinces und tlio umpire, they had oddicntion enough. But now they have to study boton, ulgorbny, and have to demonstrate suppositions about tho sycophants of ciroustungcnts, us- heads, oowsticks, nnd abstruse trian gles. And here the old lady was ho confused with the technical names that she was forced to stop. 8*%.A Western paner thus hits off a popular fashion : “The attention of the C ilice should be directed to I*«nt A. oon. He’s tight on the strode daily— awful tight." rac-T ho Boston Gazette says mis- eegeneation is going on at a foarful rate at the west end of that city. No less than a dozen negroes have condescended to marry white women. Lopbon taoit History.—"Daring fervor »>r the Revolution, the French thought n few days sufficient to prepare nny people for democratic powers ; du ring the fervor of reform, the English deemed a few years enough lo enable the negroes safely to make tho transition from slavery to freedom. But it in not thus that tho great nnd durable changes of nntnro nro worked out; it i« not with tho rapidity of the mushroon’s growth that the solidity of tlio onk is acquired. Nothing is lasting iu the material or moral world but what is tardy of forma tion ; but u minute may destroy wluit ages hnvo propuccd. History tells ns that the liberties of Borne grow during tho contest of six centuries ; that the IVecdnm of England begun with the laws of Edward tho Confessor, nnd gradually culmgod during tho subsequent strug gles of eight hundred years ; that predi al servitude, universal in Europo during the Middle Ag oh wore out so impercep tibly mill safely in tlio countries where it Ims disappeared, that no man can say when it ceased to exist; but that tho sudden abolition of si u very in tit. Domin go involved that flourishing island in un utterable calamities, in the British Went Indies consigned tlioso noble colonies to hopeless ruin. Taught by these exam- pies, the oulightetiod observer will augur little of a revolution which proposes ut once to clevato a whole nation, without any previous preparation mid political nullity to tho exorcise of tho highest nnd most perilous political powers ; ho will think lightly of tho wisdom of those who thought they could make a child fit for the duties of maturity by merely putting upon him tho dress of manhood. But ho will form a clear opinion on tho guilt of nil who would endanger, by undue exteution of political power, so noble and ondiiring a fabric ns that of the British constitution, lie will recollect that it was from tlint cause that Cartli- age periahod, from it that Borne fell un dor the tyranny of tho emperors ; nnd ho will class with tho most doprnvod of the human race those, of whatever rank or stntion, who, with such examples beforo tliclr eyes, for thoir own selfish elevation shake u structure which it has required so many ngos to rniso, nnd which, when once cast down, can never bo rebuilt.” —Alison's History of Europe. The foregoing Is tho closo of chapter first. . In a Bad Fix.—A farmer lind occa sion to solid his man, who, by tho way, was n jolly Dutchman, lo tho neighbor ing town for a barrel of molasses. Tho weather being warm, and tho road rough, and the driver moreover driving fast, the molasses took a notion to‘work/ as it does generally. But wo will let him toll his own story in liis own words. Veil, I gnrncd along, and I gntned along till 1 gut to do bill dat stands on top of du blucksmit shop, mid I looks around poliind my pung hole, tir.k 1,1 vill slliop dat; so I stliop do cart, and scbocos do oxen mit n grabble rock, nnd trovo her pung linlo in ns tight un it nub- or vos, mit a light wood knot, and gomod along again till I got where do vorks of de roud cross ouch other mit do meet in house, and I looks around behind my back again, nnd do sthnff was nil run over mit do barrel again. O, says I, I vill fix you now, and I pick up n chook mit all my might; do ting Hew mit noise liko a gun, nnd knocked me down flat off do road mit my pack, mid sonrt do cart, nnd it runned away mit do oxen and turned dcin all ober each odor— proko eborything in biecos nnd I am goined home mit inysolf, put du cart is running to dor tyful. Howto Prosper in Business.—In tho first place, make up your mind to no complisli whatever you undertake ; du cido on some particular employment, and persevere in it. “All difficulties are overcome by dilligonce nnd assiduity.” Bo not afraid to work with your bands, nnd diligently too. “A cut ia gloves catches no mice." “He who remains in tho mill grinds, not he who comes and goes." Be frugnl. “That which will not mako a pot will make a pot lid.” “Take enre of the peuco, nnd tho founds will take care of themselves.” Else onrly. “Tho sleeping fox catch es no poultry” "Plow drop. While the MluRgurilH sleep, And you will h»re corn lo sell and keep.” Treat every ouo with respect nnd civ illy. “Everything is guinctl and nothing lost by courtesy." Good manners insure success.” Never anticipate wealth com ing from anyjotber source than lubor, mid never place dependence on becom ing possessor of un inheritance.— Ho who waits for a doad man’s shoes may go a long tiino barefooted.” “lie who runs after n sliudiw has a weari some race.” Above all thiners, nover despair.— "God is where lie was." “Heaven helps them that help themselves.” Follow implieily these precepts, nnd nothing can hinder you from ucuuiuulu- ting. JQrSnnoks says tho words, ‘No cards,' nro affixed to marriage notices because the parties played ull their cards before thoir marriage. This is a new theory, and will ho generally accepted. WuA Western editor thinks if the proper wny of spelling tho is “though,” Iho proper way of spelling potatoes must he "poughteigtouux." Tlio now way ol spelling softly is psouglitleigh. ®l)t (Hull)bctt Appeal.

Tho Jows are becoming very numerous in this country, nnd ac cumulating much wealth. ’ This they cun do becmiso they are among the most healthy, moral, industrious and economi cal of our pcoplo. Tboy aro clannish nnd peculiar in thoir habits, amusements and modes of notion. Thoy nre Jews} ns distinct in blood and life to day uh they wero three thousand years ago.—* But wliou people of their intelligence— keen, sharp witted, educated—nro wil ling to labor, without any regard t</ eight or ton hour system ; to live within thoir means, and Iny up some thing every year; when thoy never drink to excess, are seldom or nover found before courts or in prisons, or at tached to almshouses—it is pretty cer tain that in middle lifo thoy will have comfortable estates, and in ok) age enn enjoy leisure with their cMfdren and frrends at Saratoga or other pluces «>f pleasure. In many of tho affairs of life the Jews are worthy of imitation. They demonstrate that labor conquers all things, and indrrstr^wHl prosper. Men and Women.—Men love things ns facts, possession, and estates ; and women, peiBOiia ; nnd while a man re gards only abstract scientific acts, u woman looks only at tbeporson in whom they arc embodied. Even in childhood the little girl loves an imitation of hu* inanity, her doll, and works for it; tho hoy gots a hobby horso or tools, and works with thorn. But the noblest qual ities whorowith nature has endowed wo man for tho pood of the world is lore— that lovo which seeks sympathy and no return. The child rathe object of lovo, nnd kisses, and watching, nnswors them only by complaint and anger; and the feeble creature thnt requires the most repays the least. But the mother goes on, her lore only grows strongor tho (renter the need and unthankfutriess of ts object; nnd while the fathor prefers tho strongest of their ohildren, the moth er feels moro love for the feeble nnd quer- rulous. Bead an Hour a Day.—There wan a lad who, nt fourteen, was apprenticed to a soap-boiler. Ono of his resolutions was to reud an hour a day, or at least nt that rnto nnd ho had nn old silver watch left him by his undo, which ho tiinod his reading by. He stayed seven years with his master, nnd said when ho was twenty-one ho know ns much as the young squire. Now, lot us ace how much time he had to read in seven 'ears, at the rate of an hour each day. t would he 2,555 hours, which, at the rule of eight rending hours per day, would bo equal to three hundred and ten days ; cquul to forty-five weeks ; equal to eleven months ; nenrly a year’s rend ing. That time spoilt in treasuring up- useful knowledge would pilo up a very large store. I am sure it is worth try ing for. Try what you can. Begin now. In after years you will look buck upon the task ns the most pleasant nnd profi table you ever performed. VQuGeorge Frnnoiu Train suggests tlmt our modern marriage ceremony should read thus : Clergyman—Will yo» take this brown-stone front, (hie carriage and span, and these diamonds for thy husband ? Yes. Will you take this un paid inillinor's bill, this high waterfall' of foreign hair, Iheso affectations, ac complishments owl IseMe cousfifntion for thy wedded wife ? Yes. Then, what Mammon has joined together, let tho next best man m» away with, so that the first divorco court may tear them asunder.' _^.A man cuu go along without ad vertising, and so can u wugon without greasing, hut it goes hard.
