Tliorfl eume a Hunuhiny d.-,y in April, 1789, when George Washington, Fivai dent-elect of the United KtatHN by tho nnanimouN voice of ih>* people, stood on a balcony in front of Ihe b'euate Chamber in the old Federal Hn.ll on Well street, to take the oath of' office. An immense multitude filled the streets, and the win dows aud roofs of the adjoining bouses. Clad in a suit of dark brown cloth of American manufacture, with hair pow dered, and wi‘h white silk stockings, silver shoe-buckles and steel-hilled dress- Bword, the hero wljo had led the colonies to their independence came modestly forward to take up the burdens that peace had brought. Profound silence fell npon the multitude as Washington responded solemnly to the reading of ihe oath of office, “1 swear—so help me God I” Then, amid cheers, the display of flags, and Ihe ringing of all the bells in the city, our first President turrfed to fane the duties his countrymen had imposed upon him. iu sight of those who would have made an idol of him, Washington's first act was to seek the aid of other strength than las own. In the calm sun shine of that April afternoon, fragrant with the presence of seed-time and the promise of harvest, we leave him on his knees in old t!t. Paul's, bowed with the simplicity of a child at the feet of the supreme ruler of the Universe.—Scrib ner’t ilat/uiine. THE CROWN JEWELS OF FRANCE. The correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph at Paris, writes: “The crown jewels of Franco have returned to us. At the turn of the war they were secretly despatched to England, and only last week was It judged safe to recall them. In number, accord ing to the inventory made for Louis XVIII., they were already 64,812, weighing 18,751 carats, of £837,900 value. Since that time precious stones have risen enormously in price, and the late Emperor added to his treas ures. The crown of France, in which is set the ‘Regent’ diamond and 6,360 other jewels, was valved at £310,000 half a century ago. The other fa mous diamond, the ‘Saucy,’ is set in the first Emperor's sword, a knick knack priced at near £II,OOO, A plaque in brilliants of the Order of the Holy Ghost is calculated at £16,- 000. The crown jewels of France were stolen on August lGth., 1792, by a band of forty thieves, who cllmed the lamp posts and broke through a window of the gem-house. A poor wretch was guillotined for this offeuoe, whereof he was perfectly innocent; but one guiltless head more or lees made small difference in 1792.’’ A man in Omaha was shot by a des perado, and the belie lodged harm lessly In a pack of playim cards in his inside coat, pocket. Hu' this Inci dent did not increase the sale of cards in Omaha. Every male citizen was already supplied with the article; but they have all shifted thorn from their boot-legs to their Inside coat pockets. ROSEWOOD. It has puzzled many people to de cide why the dork wood so highly valued for furniture should be called “Rosewood.” Its color certainly does not look much like a rose; so we must look for some other reason. Upon asking, we are told that when the tree Is first cut, the fresh wood possesses a very strong, rose-like fragrance— hence the name. Thero are liulf-a dozen or more kinds of rosewood trees. The varieties are found in South America, aud in the East In dies and neighboring islands. Some times the trees grow so large that planks four feet broad and teu feet In length can be cut from them. These broad planks are principally used to make the tops of piano-fortes. When growing in the forest, the rosewood tree is remarkable for Its beauty; but .■uchlsits value Id manufactures as an ornamental wood that some of the forests where it once grew abundantly now have scarcely a single specimen. In Mudras the government has pru dently had great plantations of this tree set out. In order to keep up the supply. Unitino Iron to Brass. —One of the recent improvements iu tho art of metallurgy meets a Jong-felt, and important need, and will greatly fa cilitate and simplify some operations hitherto attended with much uncer tainty. It is well known that the dif ficulty of uniting iron to brass is created by the unequal rate of expan sion in the two metals, which destroys the unity when the tomperature is I changed. To meet this obstacle, an English artisan has invented a pecu liar kind of alloy, the expansion of which under the influence of heat is represented as being so similar to that of iron and steel, that the surface may bo regarded when thus joined ns per manently united for all practical pur poses. This alloy, ns described, con sists of three parts tin,thirty-nine and a half parts copper, and seven and a half parts zinc, and the variety ofuses to which the material is adapted in met allurgical industry Is of course quite largo. Tdbe Wf.i.ls. The most practical method of obtaining tube wells is claimed to be that which is now in vogue in Paris, the apparatus for driv ing the tube being u sh/iple arrange ment, consisting of common quarter ing setup as a triangle: other pieces of quartering also guiding a rammer. The tubes keep themselves frea from dirt, aud when a spring is touched gives as great a supply of wa ter as the pump can draw, the water being as clear as. that <h.. .a from a well with a reservoir. Tho tubes used 'n this case are ordinary three-inch gas pipes, which serve the purpose ad mirably. Tho bottom cud is shod with a solid iron spike, rather larger than tho tube, so us to clear the way for it; and for about eighteen inches up from tho bottom it is perforated so as to ad mit the water freely, but at the same -l.ile to exclude gravel. CHK ORDER OF PENITENTS. A religious sect sailed the Order of Penitents exists in Colorado and New Mexico, the chief doctrine of which is that sins ean only be eondoned by bodily sufferings. In Lent they pnnish them selves, the leaders hearing confessions and prescribing penalties. Flagellation' is commanded in many instances, and the Denver New* describes one occasion as follows: “A fifer, priest, and image* bearer wnerged first, followed bjr the penitents, each one carrying a, whip. These whips were made from the dried leaves of the soap weed. With etfh step each penitent struck himself with the whip across the nailed back. The blows were very regular—right, left, right, left—and in a few momenta the whip-lashes were crimson with blood. For three miles these self-torturers walked and whipped themselves, though toward the last thsy were too weak from pain and loss of blood to wield the scour ges with any fofce." Pressure of the atmosphere is now applied to raising coal from the mines in the Creuzot district in Ftauco. The air is exhausted from a hollow tube running along the shaft from the bot tom to the top of the colliery. At the foot of this tube ie a piston, flitted to it, and supporting a cage into whioh the coal is loaded. When the cage is full, the air from the mine is allowed to press upon the piston undernoath, and kjtere being a vacuum above the piston and the cage, the load is borne upward to the surface. Not only is the coal raised in this way, but the ventilation of the mine is vastly im proved, for the contaminated air of the colliery flows u:> through the tube, bearing the loaded cage above it, while its piaye is constantly being supplied by the inflow of fresh air the Etu'fsrt. CHINES IS ACRORATS IN SAN FRAK. CISCO* An article in the San Francisco Call says • The Chinese tumblers lately intro duced iuto the Jackson street Chinese Academy of Music are,indeed,marvels in tlie line. A number of athletic Mon golians appear, stripped to the waist, and begiu a sort of combat on the stage. At first the fighting appears to be promiscuous, but six or olght finally ally themselves ugninst one man, and try to overcome him by springing against him and striking him full in the breast with the soles of their feet. He meets this curious mode of attack by standing like u statue, while the others fall heavily upon tire floor. A number of tables are next brought out and plied one above another, until a height of about twenty feet is attained. A performer, whose weight is not less than 150 pounds, mounts them, and, springing Into the air toward the floor aud the stage, strikes both feet with a heavy thud upon the bare breast of a mun standing about ten feet from the foot of the tables, throwing him vio lently to the floor. How a mau can sustain such a blow Is a mystery. Again the agile acrobat ascends to the top table, and, springing upward, turus a somersault, while all the tables, except the lower one, are suddenly taken away. Upon the only tublo left ho falls with a force apparently great enough to break every bone in his body; but he leaps up again im mediately and turns back handsprings across the stage. Again he climbs to the top of tho tower of tables, while a second lies down upon a table, a few feet from the base of the tower. Turning a somersault In mid air, he fails upon the other body, the two breast to breast, and bounds off again with a second somersault. Other acrobats cllmbod to various altitudes, and fell upon the stage,alighting squarely up on their bucks with a force that is as tonishing. These feats are all executed by men in a semi-mule condition,so that there is no chance for padding their clothes. The manager informed the Call re porter that the tumblers were trained from childhood, and became habitu ated to the terrible concussions only by years of practice. He added that many were killed in training, of maimed for life. RUSSIAN HOUSES IN WINTER. The windows are invariably double, and the space between tho sashes is covered with a layer of fine sand, de signed to absorb moisture and pre vent the frost from silvering the panes. Twisted horns of paper con taining salt are set in it, and some times the sand is concealed by a bed of moss. There are no outside shut ters or blinds, for they would bo useless, since the windows remain closed all the winter, being carefully filled in around tho edges with a kind of cement. Heavy curtains of rich material still further deaden the effect of the cold upon the glass, a substance much more permeable than is gener ally believed. Open fire-places are rare; when they do exist they are used only in spring and autumn. They are closed and tilled with flowers —which are truly a Russian luxury. The houses overflow with them—• flowers receive you at the door and go with you up the stairway; ivies festoon balustrades; jardiuiers adorn the landings on every floor. In the embrasure of the windows bana nas spread out their broad silken leaves; talipot palms, magnolias, camelias growing like trees, mingle their blossoms with the gilded volutes of the cornices; orchids hover like butterflies around lamp shades of crystal, porcelain and curiously wrought terra-cotta. From the horn shaped vases of Japanese porcelain or Bohemian glass, placed in tho centre of a table or at the corner of a side board spring sheaves of superb exo tics. And all this floral splendor thrives as, in a hothouse. In the street you are at the pule; within doors you might believe yourself in the troi>ics. ■gw™'! l 1 . . -a an Improved Lamp. Au improved kind oi lamp for lighting streets lias been introduced to some extent, and with much satisfaction, in some of the cities of Europe. Tire glass shade of these lamps Is oval, with the lower part open; and the principal Improvement consists in the use of two porcelain reflectors, the one on the lower part of the chimney, the. other at tho centre of tho glass shade or bell, and which are found to throw down on the pavement considerably more light than do any of the street lamps in ordinary use, while the ex pense is uot groat. Both of theeo re flectors are outsi > tho shade, and thus escape being blackened by the smoke. The upper one radiates light to a distance, but always downwards; the lower one sends the rays down near the lamp, and prevents uny shadow being cast. NUMBER 12. ITEMS OF INTEREST.
