ompany, heard the negroes sing an air
chorus while rolling cotton on the levee.
:hougbt it good, so by a little alteration he
aged it into what is called a “walk around,”
:li always winds up the entertainment of
tbiopian concert. It was a success. In
pring of 1861, when the war broke out,
John -Wood came to New Orleans to
an engagement at the old Varieties The-

lie rehearsal came to a standstill. At
h Patti strucK up “ Dixie.” It suited and
idopted and played with a chorus to the
air. “Dixie” took the town by storm;
lianos rang with it, the boys sang it and
legroes whistled it. A musiciaq by the

Iw I survived all these horrors? I answer

“In Grod we Trust ”
Be Careful YVtiai You Hay.
In speaking of a person's faults,
Pray don’t forget your own ;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin.
’Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he’s fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide. '
Some may have faults—and who have not?
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for ought we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you a better plan,
And ono that works full well;
I try my own defects to cure.
Ere I of others tell.
And though I sometimes hope to be
No worse than some l know,
Mv own short comings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, Alien we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those who little know.
Remembei, curses, sometimes like
Our chickens, “ roost at home,”
Don’t speak of others’ faults until
We have none of our own.
THe Paris exposition.
The New York Tribune publishes an elabo
rate map of the grounds of the French Exhi
bition, and contains a long and exhaustive arti
cle explanatory of them. We give an extract:
The main building covers an area of 270,000
square yards, which is about double the size
of the building used for the exhibition of 1867.
Its length is 2,400 feet, and its width 840 feet.
The east and west fronts have long machine
galleries, measuring 2,810 feet in length and
120 feet in width. More than one half of this
building is taken up by the French themselves.
About one fourth of the remaining part is
occupied by Great Britain. In amount of
space, Belgium ranks next, with Austria and
Hungary following.
Russia and Italy are next in order, after
which comes the United States, Which has
space about equql to that of Norway and
Sweden, of Switzerland and of Holland. A
narrow section of this building, extending
through its center longitudinally, is set apart
for the fine arts, being divided into smaller
sections for the different countries. The cen
ter of the building was originally a garden,
but the want of space compelled the Commis
sioners to abandon it and devote the ground
to the Pavilion of the City of Paris.
The Troeadero is a permanent structure of
stone. The slope in front of it is laid out in a
garden, and from the center of the building a
large cascade flows over several precipices into
a basin near the river heluw. The central ro
tunds qf tfie TvooaJefo is of vast size, and
contains a hall capable of seating between
8,000 and 10,000 people. Here will be held
various concerts, prize competitions and other
musical entertainments A colonade extends
along the two wings of the building, affording
a placq for promenades, and fa commanding
view of the main building and of the city
itself.
A reference to the lower central part of the
map will show the reader the situation of the
old Luxembourg Palace ami its garden, Since
the destruction of the Hotel de Yille, this has
been Vised for the municipal offices. Here
will occur the indoor fetes which the city will
give during the Exhibition. Balls will take
place in the throne room, while the museum,
picture gallery and other rooms will be opened,
and the walls, which are not otherwise deco
rated will be covered with panel pieces and
Gobelin tapestries. When fetes are given in
the open air, electricity will be used to illumi
nate the vast Tuileries garden, and fireworks
displays will take place along the river, from
the Exhibition to the palace of the Tuileries.
At the same time boats containing musicians
will pass up and down the river.
Sensations at High Altitudes.
To those in the enjoyment ot ordinary health,
the sensations experienced in crossing the as
cending elevations of the plains, and in the
higher altitude at the base of and within the
mountains, are, in a notable degree, pleasant
The dryness and rarity of the atmosphere, to
gether with its rmarkable electrical effects,-
combined with numerous other peculiarities
of climate, excite the nervous system to a high
degree of tension. The physical functions are
aroused and reenergized, it may be even after
years of sluggish, inefficient action. New vig
or and tone is imparted, the appetite is keen,
the digestion is capable and strong, and the
sleep is sound. The vital organs, stimulated
and compelled from an established routine of
greater or less inefficiency, it results that all
those lurking ailments to which men in the
ordinary pursuits of civilized life are too much
subject, Lt once disappear, and whatever there
is summoned into fullest action, and one fairly
revels iu the intoxication of good health.
Such are the sensations accompanying the
first entrance into the rarefied electrical air of
these elevated regions, which, with their at
tendant pleasures and benefits, will forever
render the Rocky Mountains a resort ef un
equaled alurements for those who, not invalids,
yet seek relief from the exhaustion and dete
rioratinn of overworked professional or busi
ness life.— Vie Rocky Mountain Tourist.
I'crptiiiul notion Accomplished.
A magnetic clock, invented by Daniel Draw
baugh. of Milltown, Cumberland county, Pa.,
says the Ilarrisburgh Telegraph, is sufficiently
remarkable to Lo worth description. The
magnetism of the earth, an inexhaustible
source of powerjs made to oscillate the pen
dulum, aud the simplicity of all the works
gives an assurance of the least possible fric
tion. At a certain point the movements of the
pendulum itself shut off magnetic connection
with the earth, and at another point restore
the connection, thus securing the conditions
necessary to produce its oscillations. The
works are so ingenious and simple that it is no
wild assertion to make that, were it not for
the unavoidable wearing out caused by even
the small amount of friction, the clock would
run as long as the solid earth endures. This
clock is hung against a board partition, with
all the works exposed, subject to the jarrings
of machinery and obstructions from dust set
tling on it, yet since March 1, 1877, it has been
running continuously and uniformly, with only
slight reported variations, as tested by transit
observations at noon.
A Registering Ballot-Box.
Mr. A. W Roberts, Snpirjntendent of the
Hartford fire alarm telegraph, has invented a
very ingenious device to be attached to the
ordinary ballot-box, by which each single bal
lot is numbered aud its number registered so
that the number of stamped ballots in the box
corresponds with the number shown on the
register. It is a simple cast iron box six inches
square, with a front of thick transparent glass,
revealing the entire mechanism, which is very
simple, aDd makes merely a single reciprocat
ing motion, without gearing of any kind.
There is a slit like aperture on the lower side
of the box, for which the ballot-box pioper is
the floor, and the voter passes his ballot into
the box through this, when the attendant turns
a little crank one revolution and a bell strikes,
the ballot is printed with a number, and the
same number appears on the rotating register,
to be seen by all. These motions are all sim
ultaneous. As soon as a ballot is deposited no
more can be put in till the attendant turns the
crunk, and thus opens the aperture, w hich is
closed by a slide. If two ballots folded or
rolled together are put in as one, only one of
them can be numbered, and,, of .course the
other will not be counted. This numbering is
done hy printing, the device being that of the
ordinary office riblion hand stamp, except
that it is operated by the mechanism. When
the balloting is concluded the crank is locked,
the ballot-box itself being locked or sealed by
the same action, and the registering apparatus
may be removed, to be referred to at any time
to certify the ballot. Beside these guards
against illegal voting, the clerks at the check
lists may set the number of each voter’s ballot
against his name, instead of a check. It will
be seen that the number of ballots cast may
be known at a glance at any stage of the vot
ing without referring to the check lists. The
registry counter may be made to record any
number desired, as only four discs are required
to show up 9,999. One of the best features f
the device is its extreme simplicty, which in
sures certainty of action and reliable.—Hart
ford Courant.

IMcnlc Notes.
Wear all your jewelry, and your finest shoes.
Don’t take any spoons. Everybody does
that, you know.
If there are ten in your set carry four knives
and three cups
White goods are the best to wear at at a
picnic, being the most popular.
It is not necessary to carry vinegar, pepper,
or butter. They can be borrowed from other
parties.
Be sure to take plenty of cake and pastry
People at picnics rarely have any appetite,
and thus n( ed something of a tempting nature.
In packing a basket it is the best to put the
custard, pie and rice pudding at the bottom,
with a package of salt next. It matters not
so much about the location of the other articles.
As soon as you reach the grounds, pick out
a desirable companion and stroll off by your
selves. Someone will set the tables and do
the necessary lugging. There is a providence
which looks after this especially.

A teamster in Eureka, Nevada, persisted in
using a particularly vicious mule, and for the
following reason : “I used to have a sweet
heart back in Injiany that I was crful gone on,
and this yere mule bas so many pints in com
mon that my heart just yearns over her. She
was as likely a gal as ever run bare footed in
a corn field, but she were too obstinate to en
joy good bealth. She’d look you right smil
ing in the eye, and you’d think thar were more
sugar in her nor in a New Orleans raerlasses
hogshead, but if you laid yer hands on her
unexpected like, she’d kick the breeching all
to flinders in Jess than a minute. That’s just
the way with that mule; but you get into a
place wbar the mud’s deep, and the rest of the
team kerfl urn mixed, and call onto her for as
sistance, and blast my eyes if she won’t pull
herself clear out of her hide to help j’ou out
of jour trouble. That were the very way
with Nancy, and I keep the mule outer love
for that gal ”

A negro minister who married rather sooner
after the death of his wife than some of his
sisters thought proper and becoming, excused
himself as follows:
“ My dear brethren and sisters, my grief was
greater than I could bear. I turned every way
for peace and comfort, but none came. 1
search the Scriptures from Ginisew to Riveria*
lion, and found plenty of promises to the wid
der, but nary one to the widcrer; and so I
took it that the Lord didn’t waste sympathy
on a man when it was in his power to comfort
himself; and having a first rate chance to
marry in the Lord. I did so and would do so
again- Besides, brethren, I considered that
poor Patsey was just as deaJ as she would
ever be.”

Knowest thou not this thing of old, since
man was placed upon earth,
That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment ?
Though his Excellency mount up to the
heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds:
Yet he shall perish forever like his own
dung: they which have seen him shall say,
Where is he ?
He shall fly away as a dream : yta he shall
be chased away as a vision of the night.
That which he labored for shall he restore,
and shall not swallow it down: according to
his substance shall the restitution be, and he
shall not rejoice therein.
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsak
en the poor, because he hath violently taken
away an house which he builded not;
Surely be shall not feel quietness in bis
body ; he shall not save of that which he de
sired—Job xx, 4-8,18 20.
Three little girls, from six to eight years of
a g e . U P at Manville, on the Wisconsin Central
Railroad, wandered into the woods last week
and got lost- Night came on, and the little
ones, about midnight, ran upon a haystack in
a clearing. They pulled out some of the hay
and made a hole big enough to crawl into,
when to their horror several large wolves came
howling about them and snapping their jaws
in anticipation of the human feast before them.
The children cried and screamed in their ter
ror as the wolves came nearer and nearer.
Finally the eldest of the children, while on
lver knees praying for herself and little sisters,
happened to remember that fire would frighten
away wild animals, and ren etubered also that
she had a few matches in her pocket. In a
moment she pushed the children out from the
stack and set fire to the dry hay. The effect
was magical. In an instant the flames shot
skyward, the wolves ran off in a rage of dis
appointment, and soon after, as the little ones
were warming the chilled blood in tbeir little
veins, tbeir parents and friends came up to
tbeir rescue, attracted tbither by the light
from the burning haystack. —Milwaukee Times.
Should a Citizen Boiirow a Neighbor s
Paper? —We, of course, say no. Should a
person eat a neighbors bread, wear bis clothes,
or use his horse without paying for it ? Your
answer will be no. Does not your neighbor
pay for his paper as well as his bread, clothes
and horse? He certainly does. There are
many who read our paper who do not contrib
ute one cent to maintain it, and occasionally
we hear of them nabbing the same, and walk
off with them. Now we don’t know what
they call this, but we think it looks like a case
of kleptomania. Our terms of subscription
are low, within the reach of every one, and
there is no excuse for reading your neighbor’s
paper, or taking it for nothing. If the paper
is worth reading at all it certainly is worth $1
for six months, or fifty cents for three mouths
Quit your bad habits and subscribe at once,

A corpse started the watchers at the Home
of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Richmond,

corpse had been laid out in the parlor of the

watching by the bier, the sunken eyes appear
ed to flash, the blood came back to the faded
cheek, and, as though imbued with superhu
man energy, the human body arose from its
resting place, which was draped with black
pall. The watchers stared at one another and
were overwhelmed w ith horror and awe. The
risen corps quietly shook herself, and remark

The sisters, after recovering from their con

down youth Third street, bets were about
even as to whether the boy was leading the
calf or the cnlf the boy. The calf made a
dash for the Central Express office. The boy
pulled him back and he made a dash for the
boy. who ran around a wagon and fell over a
watermelon pile, the proprietor whereof swore
copiously:
“ °° me back here, you infernal clod-buster,
and pay for this melon.”

on the curb stone and tried to die easy. Then

Glass— Tire discovery of glass Was no doubt,
in the first instance, accidental. Whether
credit is given to the statement of Pliny in re
gard to its origin or not, it is scarcely conceiv
able that in the manufacture of pottery, and
some other arts known from the earliest peri
oils, the materials of which glass is composed
should have eomr together and have been fused
so as to become glass. His account is that
glass was discovered by mariners, who, com
pelled to seek the shore as a refuge from a
severe tempest, discovered glass in the ashes
of afire with which they had cooked their
scanty food. \\ hi ther this event ever bap
pened or not, it is quite eeitain that it might
have happened, as the sand of many beaches,
w ith the ashes of some kind of fuel, would,
w hen fused to-relbcr, inevitably form glass, as
w ill be seen upon a consideration of its coin
position.
Professor Kolleston, in a lecture on the his
toiy of the domestication of animals, gave it
as his opinion that mammals were domesti

mals the dog was the first domesticated, the
pig the second, and the ox the third; in other
words, that the first animal domesticated was
domesticated as an ally of the hunter, the
second for purposes of food, and the third as
a beast of burden, though one which was
afterward found more useful for purposes of
food when his place as a beast of burden had
been supplied by the horse.
