AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewrittcu by tbe ablest writers on every
Mibject. Printed,from new tyde, aud illustrat
ed with Several Thousand Engraviugs and
Mans.
Tbe work originally pubUshcd under the title
of Tbe New American Cycloprodia was completed
in 1863, since which'time file wide circulation it
has attained iu all parts of the United States, and
the signal developments which have taken place in
every branch of Buience, literature, aud art, hay«
induced tho editors aud puhlishers to submit it to
an exact and thorough revision, aud to issue a
new edition entitled The Amebican Ctci«pp^:-
nu.
Within thn last ten years the progress of dis
covery iu every department of Knowledge has
made A new w ork uf^retereuce- au imperativu

Thi movement of political afl'airs has kept pace
with the discoveries of-science, and their fnntfiu
appl .ation to the industrial and useful arte aiid
the convenience and refinement of social life.—
or vat w ars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national- changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war. of our own country,
which was at- its height when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a uewcourse of ..commercial aud industrial
activity has been commenced. ,
Large accessions to bur geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable explor-
• 3 of Africa. J L. — * , , ,
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade; wit hthoTiatural result of the lapse ot time,
have brought into public view a multitude ot new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whoB^Uves every one is curious .to know the
particulars-' Great battles have been fought aud
important sedges maintained, of which the de
tails are - as yet preserved only in newspapers or
in the transient pubiications of the day, but
- which .now ought .to take their places in. 'perma
nent and authentic history. , •
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of tlie editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
d«es, and to fuinieh an accurate, account of the
mest recent discoveries in science, of every fresn
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions iu the practical arts, as well as to give a
succinct aud original record of the progress , of
political and historical events.

Live matters reached such a des-
conditiou frith yon?” laughed his
ion. “I should never have-
suspected it,”
“It Is not myself, it is my hero who
is to be sent out of the world,” was
the reply. “Can you not give me s
hint? Poison,’consumption, precipi
ces, shipwreck, Tun-away horses. —
Bah! I liaye made nse of them all
till they have grown wearisomely
common. I am tempted to advertise
for a novel way to rid myself or other
people of life—even at the risk of
bringing a whole host of detectives
down npon me."
“Why not let the poor mjth live?”
questioned Helen,- smiling at the
comi jul expression of despair on tlie
perpl. xed anti or’s face.
“Impossible! ’replied Tom. “The
lost heir has tnrned up, and is all
ready to marry Lady Gwendoline,
and so this hero—assistant hero, rath
er. is in the way, and must be remov-
ed, erett-if-T have to do it in the coih-.
mon-place fashion. You do not know
wlmt u benevolent person I am, Miss
Helen, nor how much I have done
for my kind since first I commenced
scribbling. At the lowest estimate I
have hunted out aud returned to their-
sorrowing parents fully three dozen
heirs anil heiresses—with and without
strawberry marks aud tuttoed anchors
on their arms. If it-were not for the
base ingratitude of humanity, my
statue, arrayed in nondescript costume,
and executed iu tlie worst style of
American Art, would now adorn Cen
tral Park or U tiion Square. I would
like to be a lost heir mys< If,” he went
on musingly, “only to be one it is
necessary to have liquid b'uo eyes and
golden hair and snowy brow, or raven
locks and fathomless dark orbs and
classic features, and not one of these
attractions did unkind nature see fit
to bestow upon me. I am homely—
not even picturesquely homely, at
that—do yon know it, Aiiss Helen?”
‘‘Since you have made the assertion,
I cannot be impolite enough to contra
dict it,” replied she, gathering some
of the crimson leaves from tlie Vir
ginia creeper and putting them in her
belt, as she spoke.
“Give them to me, please,” said
Tom, stretching out liis liand.
She shook her head and pointed to
the vine.
“For a memento df this evening,”
he pleaded, iu a tone that was far from
sentimental.
“How many such mementoes have
you already?” questioned she, still
keeping the leaves.
“A dead rose—some other plant,
which now looks and smells decidedly
bnyey—a glove spotted with lemon-
adej and of no possible use to its
rightful owner—a slipper rosette, big
and ugly as a mushroom, and a piece
of silk' ribbon much creased, which
may, perhaps have belonged to Miss
Halstead instead of you,”, enumerated
Tom. “That is allj I assure you.” •
“Why?” she asked in a slightly hurt
tone.
“Do you need to ask why?” here-
joined. “What sort of a companion
for Miss Deno’s friends should I be—
a beggarly scribbler who barely keeps
himself lodged and fed, and has not
talent enough to euable him to'hope
for fame even, when he is grizzled and
fifty. No!” he continued more qnick-
ly, “I have had my day,.here, iu this
old farmhouse, without' a rival to
dread—with no soul to come between
me and the sweetness of your com
panionship—I have bad iny fall meed
of happiness, and I covet no half-way
joy in the future. I was not made
to play the part of a despairing lover.
■I could not haunt your footsteps for
a smile, a look; or dance attendance
at parties and operas for the pleas
ure of bringing you an ice or picking
up vour fan. Idespi.se' a man who
can humble himself in such a way.
Yes, and I was going to add that I
despise the woman who can take
pleasure in seeing him do it!”.
He tosseiT the segar away, and
strode up and down the porch which
creaked alarmingly under ’ liis heavy
tread.
“A pretty fellow I am to get into
such a rage about nothing,” he said
at last, pausing beside Helen, who
still leaned against the lattice-work.
“Forgive me, will you not? I will not
behave so again.”
“I have nothing to forgive,” she re
plied with a smile. “I like to see
you Behave buclly—it amuses me, and
I need to be amns d.”
“Is it not a pity that a man is so
hampered by circumstances as to be
unable to assume a heroic attund?
when he wishes?” questioned Tom',
seemingly tranquil once more. “I
do not care to be taller nor less clurn-
sj ; I don’t even wish to amend aud
revise my nose; but I would like to
perform some wonderful feat that-
would forever exult, me in your eyes,
aud earn for me your eternal grati
tude. I can think of scores—snateli-
ing.you from under the wheels of a lo
comotive; swimming with you to the
shore from a sinking ship, while the
waves were running mountains high;,
or rescuing you from some c.esperado
armed with numberless daggers and
revolvers. How delightful it would
be to hear you sob oat your thank
fulness to your brave preserver, as
Mise Alicia de Conroy does to Percy
Fitzgerald in my last drama! At
present I amuse you—-I am well-
nigh as indispensable to youi com
fort as a lap-dog; compel you to -be
grateful, and—I think you could hard
ly avoid loving me.”
* I should abhor you!” returned
Helen. “I always dislike pe iple to
whom I am under obligations. When
I am forced to be grateful to anybody
I feel as though the anybody had a
string tied to my little finger and
could jerk it strongly at intervals to
lemind me of my duty.”
"On the whole, then,” said Tom
looking down at her small figure “you

pmV Helen demanded, much inch- . , ,
to the sobbing assurances of my grat-
tkein?” Helen demanded, much incli
ned to laugh.
“Keep them to sigh over winter
-evenings when the fire gets low and
my segar is smoked out,” Tom an
swered. One must liavShelp to misery
as to happiness.”
'If that be so, here are the leaves,”
laying them in his hand. “May they
contribute their, small share toward
making you wretched, since it is for
that you desire them.”
•A thousand thanks!” he exclaimed,
putting the coveted possession in. his
pocket-book, where the dead rose al
ready reposed.
“Where are your other collections?''
asked Helen. "I -presume you have
made quite a number within the past
ten years.” . .
To tell the truth,” replied he, “I
burned them after pilfering your glove
I did not want to get the trifles mix
ed and so displace my regrets, you
e. ’
Helen bit her lip at the'straight
forward avowal, “Are yon always so
frank, Mr. Ford?”
Never,” be answered, “only when
craftiness cannot avail me anything.
If. diplomacy could make you adore
me-Vas I adore you, I should be full
fledged Machiavelli intantly; but it
could not?” with a quick, furtive
glance-at-her face.
“No,” she su’d slowly'and coloring
a little.
• “I knew it,” said Tom; checking a
sigh. “Weill must content myself
with the dead flowers and crumpled
-ribbons which you have worn. A man
more deserving than I might receive
even less.” A philosophic remark by
means in'keeping with the speak-
itude; I will improvise some horrible
drager forthwith—j: lunge headfore
most into it aud allow you to pull me
out, if you will be any more likely to
care for me iu consequence. Let me
see—we are going’up the valley to
morrow—”
“Not we;” interrupted Helen. “I
must remain at home to entertain , a
visitor,”
“Do you expect that domestic af
fliction, Miss Fletcher? \v’hy not
run away from-her-first thing in the
morning?”
“It is not Miss Fletcher,” said Hel
en, hesitating over the words. “It is
■Mr. Hastings.”
“Why dd not you tell me a day
sooner,” said Tom, in a hard, con
strained tone.
‘I did not know it till this evening,’ 1
she replied. “The telegram came
only an hour ago 1 —just as we had fin
ished tea.”
“Are you glad?” Tom questioned
looking at her with a keen glance.
“Yes, I suppose so; it is my duty to
be glad.”
•This is good-bye, then,” said
Tom, after some minute s of embarras-
tbings I have resurrected a legend df
William, which may be valuable, nev
er mind where I dug it up. Here
it is:
Soon after landing, Penn is said to
have inspired a tender passion in the
breast of a beautiful Indian maiden,
and tor some time it was considered
probable that the two might be joined
together in matrimony, but this was
not. to be and the ffcason why it was
not to be is expluined in the following
conversation, which occnrred between
the lovers one evening while they
were sitting together npon the bank
of the river. The maiden said to
him:
‘Dearest, I long to huve you become
as one of our people; and I want you
now to let mo adorn you with ear
rings, and to fasten this ring to yonr
nose, so that you may appear as no
ble as other braves.”
“Excuse me, darlin’ ” he said, “but
don’t wear jewelry. Tne yearly
meetin’won’t allow it.”
“But you will come to our council
tire to-night, dear. Will yon not, and
join with the 'chiefs'-and warriors in
dancing around our captives, who
will be tied to the stake? I know you
will come.”
“Well, if it makes no difference to
you, I believe I wont. I don’t dance;
it’s agin’ our discipline.”
“Ah, then, I’ll tell yon what yon
shall ao. You shall sit by the great
tree and beat the war drum, and make
the fierce music of battle;yon can sure
ly do that?”
“Upon the whole, I really don’t,
think I can. You see, I’m down on
the tierce music of battle. I’m op
posed to music of any kind, and par
ticularly to that which is hammered
out of a war drum. No; I’ll have to
beg off.”
“But at least you will go with me
to the lodge of the great medicine
man, and see him perform liis feats of-
magic?”
“I’m afraid I’ll have to contradict
you again, my love. Our people have
testified agin’goin’ to places of amuse
ment. I’d be disciplined, sure as
fate, if I was to do it. Can’t do it,
sweet, anyhow you fix it.”
Too bad! too bad! But you will
not object I know, to letting me toy
with your tresses, and fix them into
such a crest as our braves wear prond-
ly upon their heads. This you can
not refuse me. ”
“Now. see here, my dear, do be
reasonable. You know I cant let you
do that. Yon certainly must know
that I ain’t allowed to take off my
hat Why, ft’s absurd.”
I do not understand the ways of
your -people. But I am willing to
submit to you if I know you love me,
You do love me William, do you not?
Swear that you love me. Swear by
yon moon—no. the moon is not out—
swear by yon stars that yon will nev
er cease to love me.
“I’m afraid I’ll have, to get onr
book of discipline and read it to you
When you have perused it a couple of
times maybe you’ll understand that I
never swear, I affirm.”
Then she rose, looked at him
moment with ineffable scorn, aud fled
into the trackless forest So that
match was broken off; and William
Penn was left disconsolate. This' is
as much -of the legend as I have scar
ed up thus far. If it seems to inter
est the antiquarians, maybe I can ex
cavate the rest of it.—MaxAdeler.

feet in the deepest part. As many as
10 000 terrapin are placed in this re
ceptacle at a time. For some years
past the proprietor has noticed that
large numbers of eggs were laid on
the unsubmerged sand, but that very
few were successfully hatched, as ono
teirnpiu would quickly destroy and
devour the eggs of another, while the
young were sure to be killed as soon
as they appeared. In order .to supply
an artificial breeding place where tae
eggs could remain undisturbed, an
other pen has recently been construct
ed further inland, one third of the
surface of which is covered with dry
sea sund. Every day the surface of
the larger pen is raked and_tke eggs
(carefully removed) transplanted in the
new enclosure in regular rows, at a
depth about equal to the length of a
good sized terrapin’s body. As many
as 5 000 eggs were thus placed at one
time during the past summer, nndleft
to hatch by the warmth of the sun.
At the beginning of the present mouth
the young terrapin began to appear;
every day now adds to their number®,
and all seem to be healthy and doing
well. Some difficulty is anticipated iu
keeping the animals over wiuter, but
this surmounted, and the operation
conducted on a larger scale next sum-
tliere remains little doubt but
that a new and important source of
supply lias been established. Tbe
food npon which tho terrapin subsists,
fish, crabs, and clams, is easily and
cheaply obtained in die vicinity of the
pens, so that the cost of maintenance
will be small; while (judging from
the fact that tenap ns readily command
from §8 to 315 in the markets), the
enterprize will doubtless prove a lu
crative one.
Freezing-fish for winter use has al
most attained in this city the- dignity
of a seperate branch of trade. During
the summer months, tlie markets are
glutted withffinny food, which, unless
preserved by some means, would en
gender an immence waste, while caus
ing a dearth of the commodity daring
the cold months. Salmon especially
are very abundant during tbe summer
and extremely scarce in winter, so that
this valuable fish, perhaps more than
any other, finds its way into the great
freezing rooms of the dealers.
The operations preliminary to the
freezing process are the selection of
the finest fish, and tlieir careful clean
ing. In large establishments, the
entire first floor forms a gigantic re
frigerator, having double walls of
zinc, divided into three sections, in
each of which are two- compartments.
Ice and salt ground together in a mill,
are introduced into the spaces between
the walls through openings in the
floor of the second story, these aper
tures being so arranged that any num
ber of the compartments can be cool
ed without affecting others. After
the fish are cleaned they are placed
them—in deep plonghing, successive
green soiling'with -peas, and liberal
contribution'from tbe- barnyard aud
fowls; aud when one enters the man

Horrible Indian Outroga.
The Decatur (Texas) Guard reports
a raid of the Iudiras iu Denton coun
ty, by which mnch valnable property
was destroyed or captured, a fight was
had, anil a women aud her two daugh
ters were murdered. The Guard says
The Indians were pursued by a par
ty of citizens, numbering twelve or
fifteen, and run into a thicke* on
Brushy creek, someme thirteen miles
northwest from Decatur, when they
were surrounded. The whites imme
diately sent for assistance, but the
Iudiras only remained iu the thicket
long enough to remouut themselves
on their best horses; when this was
accomplished they made a bold charge
shooting and yelling, went through
the line. A thick volley was fired at
them by the whites, but with what
effect is unknown.
Mrs. Hoff was shot with guns or
pistols in the house aDd scalded.
The oldest daughter was tomahawked,
beaten aud stamped aud most shame
fully mangled: The second was shot
some thirty yards from the house.
Her hair being jet black they left her
without scalping her, or any bruises
except the shot. It seems from the
best information we can get that the
old gentleman bad gone from the
1 bouse for some purpose and was cui
off by the Indians. The lulling was
done about an hour after sunrise.
This is the third time within twelve
months that the Denton county set
tlers have suffered from the Indians
raids.

Journal de Calais, there can be no

Linseed-Oil.
Linseed oil is obtained from flux
seed, by grinding the same neder
heavy stones, set on edge and made
to revolve on beds of stone. Attached
to the edge stone are scrapers which
throw the seed into the circular track
of the roller. The ground seed is
placed in strong woven woolen bags
which bags arc made of mats covered
with horse hafr and sole leather, of a
proper and sufficient width to protect
the bags in the operation of pressing.
These lriitts with their contents, are
snbjected to an immeiise .hydraulic
pressnre, aud the expressed oil flows
off into large iron tanks, where it is
allowed to settle. What remains in
the bags after tlie-pressure is known
os oil cake. About 8,000,000 gallons
of linseed oil are used annually in the
United States.

until they are tboionglily frozen, after
which they are thrown into the huge
refrigerators where tlK*y* are kept.—
Within these receptacles the temper
ature is maintained at nbont 12 °,
and the fish are consequently ren
dered about as hard as solid lumps of
ice. In this condition they are kept
ordinarily six-months and sometimes
for eleven month’, remaining perfectly
fresh and only, requiring thawing out
to render them ready for cooking.—
It is estimated by the Tribune from
which we extract the above facts,
that at the present time fully 250,000
pounds of fish are thns rtored in this
city, for next winter’s use.—Scientific u eiore me ai *Y s c
