CHRONICLE AMD SENTINEL.
JHisttllang.
Life’s Vlclssltndcs.
The wheel of forluae is constant in its re
volution. Each successive torn it makes, pro
daces great and attonishing changes. These
changes, afford many lessons meat instructive
and important. Few of the sons of earth
there are, who have not been seriously wrong
ed and injured ; many, we may add, well
nigh, if net entirely rained. Those who
have “spent their substance in riotous living ”
are looked opon by a class of society, [by far
too numerous,] as clever men, and so far
from being connicd dishonorable, are pitied,
taken by the hand, loaded with substantial
sympathy, and lifted to even a higher point of
eminence than that from which they seemed to
have fallen. If perchance, they saw the evil
dav approaching, and, (as the world terms it)
prudently retained enongh to make a fair
outsida show, even ‘hose who lost so much
by their dishonesty, give them credit for their
foresight, and extend to them the hand of
friendship.
If however the unfortunate individurl has
not earned the reputation of a lover of frolic,
his ease presents a different aspect. His mis
fortunes, though not in the remotest sense
a'tributable to a wasteful extravagance, or to
the want of nntiring diligence in business, but
to the loszes he may have sustained by the
dishonesty of some, and the necessities of
ethers upon whom he had claims sufficient to
have met all his indebtedness, and make him
and his family comfortable is yet counted for
nothing in tho false balance by which he is
weighed.
What signified it that he should have depriv
ed himself and hia family of the comforts of
life, and lived in a state of comparative pover
ty, ao as to enable him to meet in part his
engagements, and preserve “a conscience void
ofoffe nee towards God and man 1 ” He may
talk of his wrongs and injuries, and plead them
aseauacs of his misfortunes; but what does
this avail him 1 In the estimation of an un
charitable, censorious world, he is condemned
for his improvidence in being poor, when by
following the example of others, he might
have been “rich aad increased in goods, hav
ing no lack.”
Mow that he needs frien ts, he finds them
only among parsons like himself—if he seeks
aid he finds it not, except in very rare oases.
Those who in the days of his prospaiity bask
ed in his favor, and sought his society, now
look at his condition, and shun his society.
Thongh sustained by the proud consciousness
of his own integrity and honor, be is lest te
the sympathies of the race generally, without
deigning to notioe favorably his struggles
against the tide of adversity set in upon him.
The few who may still feel for his misfortunes,
and extend to him their aid, do it nndsr appre
hensions that what they do is a certain risk,
and therefor# do it reluctantly and sparingly—
while some of them actually do him more
, harm, and prevent more certainly hia success,
by expressing confidentially to one here and
(here, their fears, than if they had withheld
from him what tit le they have done.
What is this man to do under oircnmstancee
•o appalling T Let him rise in power of that
anight, with which God has invested him aaja
moral agent, and instead of weeping bitnseif
to death for the treachery of deceitful men—
the lukewarm and rarely to be realized sympa
thy of feirfnl and hesitating friends—the
vindiotive opposition of avowed interested
foes—lst him wisely and firmly determine to
better his own condition. Notby relying upon
the promised or expected help of others, but
by dint of his own individual and persevering
exertions. Let him enter tho conflict of life
anew, and with new hopes, new purposes,
and new plans of operation determine to win
from the Tatar# revenge on the past; and
navar to think of what he haa passed through,
but as a preparatory discipline for present
daring and future success. Let him bury past
grievances and look before him for new op
portunities which will spring in his path.
Above all, let him look upward for aid and
strength, and he will assuredly prosper. Be
up and doing. Talk not of impossibilities.—
National Mirror .
Washington in China. —The notions of the
Chinese with regard to Geography and History
have received some enlargement, it would seem,
since their war with England, and the conse
quent increase of inte;course between them and
foreigners. Formerly the Celestial Empire fig
urged on the Chinese maps as the main portion
of the earth —other countries being repre
sented as small islands, and stuck into cor
ners, or crowded aloag the margin.
A late work on Geography, however, by “His
Excellency Su Kiu, of Wutai, in Shansi, the
present Lieutenant Governor of Fuhkien,” gives
» much more comprehensive view'of the differ
ent quarters of the world and of the relative pro
portions of continents, islands, kingdoms and
nations. The author, it appears, was greatly
aided in his work, which is styled a Universal
Geography, by the American missionary at
Amoy, Mr. Abcel. From an account in the
New York Journal of Commerce, we learn that
the several divisions of the wot Id are so described
as to impress the mind previously uninformed
with tolerably accurate views of their extent and
importance. A general snmmary of the history
of each of its several countries, with an out
line of their polical institutions, is given ; their
present condition and relative resources are pret
ty accurately estimated ; even their social insti
tutions, manners and customs, have formed the
subject of curious investigation to the author,
and his account of them presents a ludicrous
mixture of truth and error.
The description of the United States is in
troduced by the author with a history of the
settlement of the country and the subsequent
revolutionary war of independence. The char
acter of Washington commands his unqualified
admiration, as the following conclusion of in
troductory summary will show :
“It is evident that Washington was a remar
kable man. In devising plans he was more de
cided than Chin Shing or Wu Kwang ; in win
nings country he was braver than Tsau Tsau or
Lu Pi. Wielding his four footed falchion, he
extended the frontiers thousands of miles, and
then refused to usurp the regal dignity, or trans
mit it to his posterity, but first established rules
for an elective administration. Where in the
world can bo found such a public spirit I Truly,
the sentiments of three dynasties have all at
once unexpectedly appeared in our day I In
ruling the State, he promoted and fostered good
customs, and did not depend on military merit;
in this he differed from all other nations. I have
seen hispotrait; and form are grand and
imposing, in a remarkable degree. Ah 1 Who
would not call him a hero 7”
If we in our ignorance cannot estimate the
decision of Ching Shing or Wu Kwang, nor ap
preciate the bravery of Tsau Tsau or Lu Pi, it ia
nevertheless within our power to entertain a feel
ing of respect for this learned dignitary of China
who know how to admire the character of Wash
ington and seeks to mske It known to his coun
trymen. A singular people these Chinese?
They have a great deal yet to learn in the world
—and so, no doubt, we‘aa a'pcoplo have, also.—

Tobacco for Wound*. —lt is said that a
piece of good strong tobgcqo chpwed, until it
is saturated with saliva, and then applied with
• bandage to wounds occasioned by nails
or other iron instruments, will relieve the
sufferer, however deep and painfal they may
be. When it is reco.looted that tetanus or
look jaw is often ioduced by such woands,
this simple remedy, the efficacy of which ia
highly apoken of, is worth rememberiog.
A Berlin artist has discovered the art of
fixing daguerreotypes upon glass which ia
covered.yvith &.fuaion of zinc or gold. The
operation take* about five thlnules. When
dipped into water or varnish, the subject is
taken very distinct. The artist ia enabled to
give any coloring to tbs picture he may like,
aud haa even succeded in combiniog two dif
ferent colors upon the same daguerreotype.
Labor la Cities.
At the recent anniversary of an agricultural
society in Suffolk county, Massachusetts, an
address wee delivered by Dr. Franklin Tulhill.
It ia a very clear production, aa tho fallowing
graphic and truthful picture of the estimation in
which labor is held in our cities, will show :
It cannot be denied that there are strong symp
toms of proud Anglo Saxon contempt for labor
apparent in the denizens of our more pre
tending villages and cities. We allude to these
weaknesses of our nature not as grumble! s, or as
if wo were not ourselves as much as others
blamable, but as observers, bent in our weak
way on reform. There is no one thing more
disheartening to an honest lover of republican
simplicity, than to witness growing fear among
our countrymen of particular kinds of labor.
Why, the clerk in some store in yonder great
metroplis, who receives $l5O a year for his
services, which sum is barely sufficient to pay
his board, leaving for a parental remittance the bill
for his spotless strain and his finest of broadcloth,
is mortified beyond measure if he is requested to
carry a bundle through the streets. His father
who is worth his thousands, never thought of
being ashamed to bend his back to lift the heav
iest stick of timber, or to carry his two bushels
of wheat in open daylight; but tho son who is
worth no more than a pauper, would blush to
be met with a carpet bag in his hand in Broad
way.
The day has already come in our cities, that
if a man, stout as Milo of old, has a load of
wood brought to his door, and he really aches
for the pleasure of hauling it, yet must he hire an
Irishman to pitch it into the cellar, while he
stands idly by, nerso much as tauch & stick of
it, on pain of losing caste. If a stout and vigo
rous citizen, whose muscles swell with an ex
cess of strength, has a load of wood lying on
the side-walk, he may as well hang himself at
once as be foolish enough to save a dollar, and
saw it up himself*, yet, if Paddy has pitched it
in, and the grate is down so that he shall not be
seen, we are not sure but he may saw on till
doomsday, and no one esteem him less a man
and a gentleman. If he curry and tackle hia
own horse, or lead him to the stable when he
has done with him, he is unpardonably vulgar.
He would no sooner be caught carrying a trunk
the length of a block, to an omnibus, than steal
ing a body from a grave-yard; yet he will boast
among his friends of the enormous weight he
carries in the gymnasium, having paid a fee of
thirty dollars a year for the privilege. And his
frinds applaud his gymnastic expenditures as
wise and exceedingly judicious, “ for sure,”
they say, “ how shall a man live without exer
cise 1” In short, labor, which promotes the
ends of economy, is an abominable thing; that
which advertisea their imbecility, is a source of
pride. These soft-handed gentry may be our
sons and brothers; but we fancy they must at
times feci ashamed of our common father, the
old Adam, who farmed it in Paradise.
Had the “ first man” had any of their spirit,
when he was set “to dress the garden, and to
ceep, it,” ho would have, respectfully declined.
Ti'l the Earth ! not he. Adam was a gentleman
and wore gloves, and did not care to soil his
hands. He would look up some Irishman, if
lossible, being disposed to accommodate. But
de till the ground! By proxy, he might; but
personally, never. He’d no objection to be a
gentleman farmer ; inded that would be rather
pleasant, but personally to till his own ground I
to do his own ploughing I to hoe the garden
ilmselil No; Eden might go to 'witch
grass, but he would never touch it l For was
not he the father as all spruce clerks with scent
ed handkerchiefs, of briefless lawyers, uncalled
physicians, and young clergyu.cn too smart to
settle 1
That there are such prejudices, and that they
are held by enough to make them the prevalent
sentiment among large classes of men, no one
will deny. But that they are just, honorable, or
dencent, no man will pretend. Universal as is
the sentiment, we have never met its first de
fender. And this fact does much toward estab
lishing the inherent dignity of labor. Agricul
tural labor especially, has the sympathies of the
universal conscience of mankind.
Fibh Tarnish.— A New Invention. —The
Paris correspondent of the St. Louis Republican
says <
An important discovery, even better thst Mr.
Phillip’s famous extinguisher, is the fire varnish,
recently brought out by a Spaniard, Don Jose de
Gueseda. It was first tried at Mantanzas in the
pretence of the Governor and city authorities,
and succeeded to the admiration of every body-
It has since been tried at Madrid. Five small
frame houses, covered with tar and turpentine,
were erected on an open square. Two of these
houses were re-coverred with the varnish and
the other two were not. The latter were reduced
to ashes almost as soon as they were set on fire,
whereas the former, in spite of the tar and tur
pentine, remained perfectly uninjured to the end
of the trial, which lasted two honrs. The trial
was the more severe as the five houses were
close together, Bnd all of them were on fire in
side, but the flames did not break forth at all
from the varnished houses ; besides this, in the
midst of the conflagration, two gallons of some
strong essence was thrown into the varnished
houses and they were immediately entirely en
veloped in flames; but when the liquid was
exhausted, the walls appeared perfectly in tact
ac before. Don Gueseda is about to get out a
patent for this wonderful varnish, which he
says is as cheap as it is valuable, and he can put
it within the reach of everybody.
The same letter also contains the following
notice of another invention ;
In this age of wonders we should be prepared
for everything, but really when we hear of a man
proposing to extinguish all the gas burners in
Paris and to light the city to its remotest corner
by means of an artificial sun which shall also
give warmth, we have, it seems tome,a right
to open our eyes a little wide at least. This
proposition has really been made to the govern
ment by a gentleman from Lyons, by the name
of Martin, a captain of artillery. He is now in
Paris, dancing attendance upon the Minister of
the Interior, but that gentleman has apparently
sucha dread of new inventions of every descrip
tion, that it is> probable he will also refuse Mr.
Martin as he has done so many others. In this
case, you may have this most original invention
tried first in the United States.
The N. O. Delta states that within the three
past weeks nearly ninety thousand bales of
ootton have been sold in that city, most of
which u for shipment to Europe.
A New Cotto* Factory. —We learn from
the Selma Enterprise that a Cotton Factory
fcas been established in Dallas onnty, by Mr.
Jones M. Gunn. The building is of brick,
two stories high, and is ninety two feet in
length end forty five in width. The Factory
has in operation 1152 spindles, and all necesa
ry machinery for cleaning and preparing the
cotton. The whole machinery is driven by a
forty horse power engine. It is the intention
of the proprietor to add looms to the Factory
next summer.
This speaks well for Dallas, one of the prin
cipal cotton growing connties of the State.—
Simalar enterprises throughout the State
would add vastly to her wealth and prosperity,
and would serve as a safe investment for cap
ital otherwise nnprofitably employed. Build
yours Factories, and order your Engines of
Gindrat & Co., of Montgomery. Spend
your money at home do yonr own work, pat
ronize your own mechanics, and in few years
time you’ll see the difference.— Ala. Jour

Discovery in Sußazur.— A Prussian nam
ed Aran is said to have recently made a disoov
ry in surgery tb&t is exciting considerable in
terest in the scientific circles of Berlin. It is
the application of chlorine to relieve pain.
Unlike chloroform it can be osed without the
least danger to the patient and is very effect
ual in its operation. 'From the account, a
small quantity (from ten to twenty
drops,) is dropped on the part affected, or on
a bit of bandage slightly mo'stened with wa»
tor and then applied; and ail bound up in
oil silk, and a linen band. Afier from two
to ten minutes the part becomes insensible and
the pain is no longer felt, whether it be
from rheumatic, nervous or other disorders.
After a time it returns again, but usually weak
er, and with several applications it is of ten en
tirely relieved. Tbe discoverer has presented
a memorial ou the subject to tbs Academy in
Paris.
Axothxr Bridge Queitioh. —According to
the decision of V. K. Stevenson, Esq., Presi
dent, end the Engineer and beard of Directere
of the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, the
Bridge across the Tennessee rive' is to be
built too low to accommodate Steamboats ia
ordinary tides. There is much talk about.— ■
Mr. Stevenson thinks that the boats ought to
be built to suit the altitude of the Bridges,
while tho navigators of the river declare that
it is Nature’s great thorourhfare, and sball not
be obstructed to accomodate the steam horse
landsman. Two or more of the Boats, now
en the river, cannot pass under.the Bridge
when completed, even in an ordinary tide,
without lowering their cbimnies, and perhaps
removing their pilot houses. This expense
and trouble the river men say they will not en
counter, unless the Supreme Court of the
United States decide, that the obstruction can
stand. They want no impediment over head
when tbsre,is sufficient water below, and if we
may judge from plain remarks, they inland
that the Tennesse river shall not be hedged up
forthe benefit of Railroad or any other Com
panies.
On the other hand, the President of the
Road professes a desire to accommodate all
parties. lie informs us that above the low
water channel, he has raised his Bridge high
enough to accommodate any reasonable Brats
—but he objects to chimniea being built so
high that they cannot pass under his Brit ge,
unless they will resort to the ultimative of
lowering their heads at the proper time. He
thinks the cbimnies can, and ought to be low
ered at the Bridges, when the tide weuld not sd
mit of a clear passage and that they should be
so arranged that a few minutes would ba all
tbe time necessary for the operation.—Chett

The Haynesvilis Alabama Watchman of tbe
25th ult., says: “On Thursday morning last
we had quite a heavy frost, with cold and
bracing weather. Ou Friday morning we had
a very severe and killing frost, with a slight
freeze, killing every kind of vegetation which
had escaped the drouth ; and fires, cloaks and
