APPLETON’S
AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new ty&c, and illustrat
ed with Several Thousand Engraviugs and
Mans.
The work originally published under the title
of The New American Cycloptedia was completed
in 1863, siuce which time iho wide circulation it
has attained in all parts of the United States, and
the signal developments which have taken place in
every branch of science, .literature, and art, have
induced the editors and publishers to submit it to
an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a
new edit 7 on entitled The American Gtclop^-
hiA.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made,a new work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.—
Great wars 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 new course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable explor
ers; of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de- :
cade, wiih the natural result of the lapse ot time,
have brought into public view a muLtrude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious.to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important seiges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved only in newspapers or
in the transient publications 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 the editors to
bring dorm the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
most recent discoveries in science. cf every fresh
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a
succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun a fter long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful termi
nation.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
uew type, forming’ in fact a new’ Cyclopaedia,
with the same plan and compass as its predecssor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, ai d
with such improvements in its composition as
have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge. .*3l_
. The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
hot for the sake of pictorial effect, hut to give
greater lucidity and fofee to the explanations iu
the text. They embrace all branches of science
Kimball, J. C. Kimball, Mr Cook, (H.
L K.’s father-in-law) and a prominent
real estate owner of Atlanta, to which
he sold the hotel for $400,000. Kim
ball thns retained control. Then Kim
ball left the State so precipitately he
did not, so far os is known, make any
disposition ot the hotel. The eorres-
pondent adds:
“Soon thereafter this building was
sold at Sheriff’s sale, under a mechan
ic’s lien, for $15,000, Messrs. G. W
Adair, Benj. H. Hill, and Dr. Joe
lbompson, 'all of this city, becoming
the purchasers. The building was
generally supposed to have cost over
8500,000. It sold for the small sum
of $15,000, because it was believed tbe
title was imperfect, and because it was
encnmbeied with a mortgage or two,
one for $80,000, held by John Bice,
formerly President of the Georgia
National bank of this city, who, it is
said, loaued-KimbaH that amount of
money. The old proprietor remained
quietly in possession, but able lawyers
frequently expressed their belief that
the titles were not porfeet, and
that Messrs. Adair, Hill, and Thomp
son would some day have to account
for all the rents collected from the
hotel, which were piobably $25,000 or
$30,000 per annum. Sometime ago
the Supreme Court decided that a
mechanic’s lien could not be executed
without ail order of court—-that- is
without n trial of the merits of the
case by a court. Consequently it was
believed that the sale of the Kimball
House under a mechanic’s lien by the
sheriff ou his own motion and respon
sibility would invalidate the titles to
the property, Kimball was doubtless
aware of all these facts, and, being out
of employment, sought to recover his
interest in the hotel, and while it is
still believed that be is here in the in
terest of the bondholders, it has all
along been suspected that he was ma
neuvering to recover fhe Kimball
House. This conjecture was confirm
ed some days since by the announce
ment that he and Gol. Adair had be
come joint owners of the building,
having purchased the entire interest
owned by Messrs. Hill and Thompson.
The terms on which this purchase and
transfer have been made are net kno wn
and probably never will be known.—
ansra 1 ? ^ l'iece of property was probably nev
or involved in such a network, of com
plicated claims and titles, and it is
thought a lawsuit to adjust the claims
would have been simply interminable.
The claimants, therefore wisely con
cluded to settle it among themseivcs.
It is believed that Mr. Kimball has
not paid a cent for his half interest
for two reasons. First, because he is
represented as being very poor; and
secondly because his claims were too
strong to admit of such a compromise.
It is further believed that Mr. Hill'
will receiva nothing for his interest
because it is understood that Col. G.
W. Adair has advanced nearly all the
.money to purchase the building, and
consequently Mr. Hill lost nothing.
Dr. Thompson, it is supposed; has or
will receive a compensation for the
land cm which the hotel is located,
which he sold to Kimball, taking as
security, for the debt a mortgage ou
he building. The rent already col
lected, it is believed, will not be dis
turbed, and the present proprietors
will jointly be responsible for any fur
ther mortgage against the building,
disposing of them in the maaner they
may see proper. It is thought that
the mortgage on the building, held by
J. H. Bice for $80’000, remains unset
tled. Ibis $80,000, is supposed to be
bank stock in the Georgia National
Bank, which Bice sold to Kimball,
and it is calculated that the priu-
cipal and interest combined amount
to about $140,000. A suit is pend
ing, I believe, for the recovery of
the money, bat the proprietors con
tend, with much confidence of suc
cess that, Mr JohnH. Bice has slept
over his rights too long. The Kim
ball House is assessed by the city at

* When you regain your natural state
of sweet temper put the first joint of
pipe on to the stove. Patience widdo
ft. It’s a great deal easier, of course,
to work.about ten. minutes and then
throw the joint at the looking-glass,
kick the stove over, and. threaten to
murder all the tin-smiths in town,—
but that won’t pmt the stove up. A
man who will keep his temper, can
put a joint of pipe on in an hour and
a half by the clock, and Til warrant
it.
Then, put on the second—in doing
this, you will loosen the first, and both
will come down together. If you
want to jump for tbe axe, and smash
both joints flat, why, it’s all right, bat
il’s better to sit down in a chair and
gaze out of the window, and appear
utterly indifferent. By aud bye you
can kind of fool around the joints
jjound the end of one in, and the
otlier out, press with your hands, tap
with a- hammer, and. they’ll-go to
gether.
Then put on the half-joint. It was
made to fit. The tin-smith will bet a
thousand dollars on it, but you can’t
fit them—not if yon get mad. Try
one end, and than the other, then
press, then pound, then jump up and
down-and yell to your wife that you
wouldn’t care a eu’ss'if tbe house was
on fire. I know men who do that
way, and they fool around for u day
aud a l.a ! f, where I wouldn't he over
five hours about it.
Having put on the half joint, pnt on
the elbow. Stand on a chair,—you’ll
be sure to knock ail the other pipe
down, and no one ever saw stove-pipe
fall without the joints all coming a-
paifc. The pipe won’t either fit in or
go over. How could, you expect it to?
Hammer it with a fiat iron, just to
vary the monotony Then pound it
out again with the hammer, to vary
some more monotony. Then press,
and squeeze, aud breathe hard and
bung your eyes ont. It lacks just a
hair’s breadth of fitting, but it might
as well lack a mite. - Get mad at last,
fling the whole pipe down, kick seven
hells out of each separate joint, bark
your shin on the stove and fall into a
chair and commence on “by thunder!”
and deliberately go through the whole
programme until you reach “by
gum.”

A Siroag Stomach.-
There is a chap in Staunton, Va.
who eats glass. “I went out,” says
the physician who describes it, “aud
secured a piece, about one third of a
broken pane, aud brought in set oral
friends to witness 1 he sight. He took
the glass and deliberately bit but a
piece about the size of a silver half
dollar, and chewed it up with as much
gusto as if it had been a piece of
bread, swallowed it, taking afterwards
a swallow of water and bread, he said
to get the particles out of his. teeth.
He wouid have eaten the whole piece
if I had requested, as he has frequent
ly eaten tumblers for a drink of whis
key. He said he would eat any kind
of glass exceptthecolored bottleglass,
which had poisn in it.
He was first induced to try the ex
periment about three years ago. attae
Cape of Good Hope, by a surgeon in
the British Navy, who bet he could eat
all the glasses (eighteen in number) at
a dinner party, which he did, and he
ssw no reason why he could not do as
much, so he tried it by eatin only
three. .Since that time he has eaten
glass for the amusement of others over,
a thousand times with no disagreable
effect. The only difference he sees is
it “gives him an appetite.” It is now

one fierce lookiug animal which
is pronounced by the judges to be not
a cat at all, and has been left, as.-she
came in a bird cage. This animal is
described as a paradoxure, coming
from Mognoh'a. Her exibitor resides
at Abby Wood, near Plumstead, in
Kent. Her fierce appearance confirms
his statement that when turned loose
she puts a speedy end to any vermin
which may be on the premises. There
was this year only one tortoise-sheli
and white cat, but the brown tabbies,
silver tabbies, and red tabbies were
well represented. A black tabby
made her appearance and took a prize
for her unusual color. In this case the
beautiful fnr of “Mymie,” not a very
goo>--tempered Siamese, put her first.
The short-haired black torn; who ap
peared prettiest or more correctly
ugly to any of the judges, is named
Topsy, and in the unusual colors in
this short-haired class a tom, whpse
fur is a beautiful slate color, took the
prize. Next comes a class for the nu
merous monstrosities, with s'x toes,
extra claws, and odly-speckled coats.
The Manx cat here are successful.
In most of the cats eyes are of a
topaz color, which in th> night would
gleam green; but one or two white
cats have one eye topaz and the oth
er a pale blne,:or tbe same color as
all young kittens’ eyes. But, in tbe
classes for while tats, Wo blue eyes
make their appearance, and the pret
ty mother, No. 102,'which!gained the
first prize for short-haired white she
cats, is justly described as haviug
bright blue eyes. It is. interesting to
try the effet of talking to the white
blue-eyed cats at present at Syden
ham. Some of them by their impas-
siveness, appear to confirm the state
of their deafness. Others, and at
least one male, will be found to prick
up their ears at once upon the voice
being used. A red tabby with six
claws, takes the prize for leng haired
tubby shes. In tbe heavy classes,
the weight of nineteen pounds, which
has been approached at previous shows
was not leached, but, “Smut,” imagi
natively valued by his owner at 1,000
pounds, takes a prize with fifteen
pounds twelve ources, imcl' “Ned”
weighs fifteen four ounces. Two white
short-haired cats weigh thirteen
pounds eight ounces each:

what would have been of actual ser
vice to him. The chemistry of the
question is simple enough.
As commonly made, the infusion of
coffee which we drink contains not
more than twenty per cent of the sub
stances which compose' the berry.—
Of the remaining eighty parts which
we throw away as “grounds,’’ about
thirty-four are woody matter without
nutritive value. The rest or forty-six
parts of the hundred, contain in large
proportions nitrogenous matters, fats
and mineral salts, demonstrably, use
ful for the nourishment of nerves,
muscles and bones. In cither words,
by our mode of making coffee we lose
more than half of. its available and
valuable constituents. Considering
the tons of coffee imported every year,
this wholesale wastefuluess becomes a
matter of considerable magnitude, this
of course only on the condition that
the rejected matter can be used with
pleasure and profit. That it can be
so used is shown by the practice of
the Turks, who make coffee as we do
chocolate. The coffee finely powdered,
is drunk with the infusion, In this
way all the stimulating qualities of the
infusion are secured, with the full
aroma and all the uutrjtious elements
of the berry. It is perhaps needless
to add tbai, for use ir this way, the
coffee must be reduced to an impalpa
ble powder.
To those unaccustomed to oriental
coffee, the limpid infusion may seem
much to be preferreb As a stimula
ting drink, it is undoubtedly prefera
ble, but the good qualities of coffee
are not exhausted with the infusion;
8nd as a matter of econemy, it may
be worth while to sacrifice limpidity
for nutrition. Besides, as one be
comes accustomed to thick chocolate
andTearns to like it more than the

claimed, the taste for cafe V Orientate

The Jews in Galicia.
A correspondent at Cracow, writing
on the 18th ult., says: “It is known
that in no European country are there
so many Jews as in Boland, and there
is no part of Poland where there is
so many as in Galicia. They already
form a ninth part of the population,
aud this proportion is yearly increas
ing. In most of the towns they ham
a preponderating influence. Nearly
all the money is m their hands, and
the trade and manufactures- the coun
try tire almost exclusively conducted
by them. Since Austria has had- a
constitution, too, they have become
large land owners, but socially they
are as much, if not more, divided
from the Polish inhabitants than ever.
Ear from, identifying themselves with
the'nationaTaspirations of the Poles,
.theyretain .their old customs, and
even the Jewish dress, which has
long been' abandoned:by the corelig
ionists in other countries. Seeing
that the Jews were gradually monop
olizing the whole .trade and manufac
tures of the country,, the Poles at
tempted to compete with them, but
without success, and they are now
venting their disappointing in bitter
attacks upon them in the press. The
antagonism upon the two parties has
become so violent that the “Schomer
Isreal,” a sociefy es'fablished Tor' the
of the Jewish, interests, at Lemberg,
has appealed-to-the. government for
protection. As it is impossible to de
ny the truth of the accusations made
by the Poles against the Jews, though
they ore couched in very - violent lan
guage,. the government could not
take any notice of this appeal; but it
has instructed the Governor of
Gabcia to devote particular attention
to the character of the Jews, which is
at present cramped by all sorts of
mediaeval superstitions and prejudices,
clay soil is said to be a lasting soil, as
it is constantly giving up its manorial
properties, for the benefit of the plant.
But there'are other properties, among
which are its mechanical effects, giv
ing texture to the soil and its absorp
tive principle, which is very great
when-in a highly pulverulent condi
tion, attracting moisture and the va
rious gases, and holding them, thus
adding to its fertility.
The general object, therefore in the
treatment of clay, must be to aerate
and expose to the elements, particular
ly the frost, and prevent packing
while working it, that i3 not working
when wet.
To get an immediate effect, without
waiting for the action of elements, re
sort is somotiihos had to hunting.
This liberates the valuable manuriul
elements without expelling or evapo
rating them. Sufficient experiment
has been made to decide that in some
cases it is profitable to treat clay in
this way. It supplies the necessary
mineral, or inorganic matter largely.
Much is to be done yet with our clay
soil to render it highly effective and
useful.

Second Sight-
It is narrated that in Kinsman,
Tmmbull connt-y O., there is a little
girl cf ten years who has developed a
faculty of seeing without the use of
eyes. Some months ago an elderly
sister was attacked with mflaniatiou
of the eyes, and the younger we at
tended her until she regained her
sight. The little nurse was after
wards attacked with the same disease,
and completely lost her sight-. Her
eyes were bandaged to exclude the
light, and she was confined in a dark
ened room By degrees, it is said,
she developed the faculty of distin-
tingnisbing objects without the use
of her eyes. She could point out per
sons, describe their attitude and ac
tions, and moreover distinguish day
ligLt and darkness. To test her pow
ers still further a new book was given
to her. She opened it, described fhe
pictures, and finally was able to rend
it fluently, her eyes all the time being
bandaged. She has sines recoved her
ocular sight, and her eyes are pre-
nonneed perfectly sound by physicians.
But strange to say, the faculty of see
ing without them remains, and when
blindfolded and iiut in a dark room
she can see with case. The case has
puzzled the doctors. They are un
certain whether the eyes have actual
ly recovered their power, or whether
the faculty of seeing without them
has not survived entirely. Not many
years ago this professed power would
have subjected fhe child to torture.
There are historical cases of alleged
second sight which have heretofore
been treated as myths. A severe test
of the present case would throw some
light upon the utterly unintelligible
science which, for the want of a bel
ter name, has been termed psycholo
gy—a term nobody can define.

removed to the museum, when one of
the kevpers, struck with the unusual
tone of the bronze, scraped away a
part of the surface, and at once came
upon the silver beneath. A discus
sion has arisen whether the work was
originally east or chiseled, but there
seems now little doubt that the form
