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.

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.” I put np two stoves last week and I never had the least bit of trouble. .1 merely wandered around to a tinner’s, and whispered “stoves!” in his ear, and they were up when I reached home, and I saved over nineteen hun dred “swears” to use in the future, when book-canvassers or machine agents pull the bell at ten o’clock at night. pens made of galvanized wire, except j average reader, none could be more j lime, magnesia, etc. These let loose of the sulphur having somewhat alte: awes J [ Ymves at Macon A True Boy.

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 in order to work in tliat old joke about the man having a pane in his stom ach. 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.

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 clear infusion of the cocoa bean, it is claimed, the taste for cafe V Orientate may be acquired, with a correspond ing improvement in the beverage,— Scientific American.

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. and it grows to. the height of 100 feet.

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. ed npon the metal yielding a black Arrives at Fort Valley color like that found m the common est sort of material.
