Near Stellaville, Ga., a leaden medal

dimensions, number of state-rooms, etc.
reverse side appear two medal
lion heads, Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert. This medal commemorates the
launching of the Great Britain at Bris
tol, England, on July 19, 1843, and de
notes an important era in ship building,
from the fact that she was built of iron
and fitted with the newly invented
screw propeller.
India Proofs.
There are various ways in which de
ceptions are practised. .For instance,
“unlettered India proof,” as it is
technically called, is, from being taken
off the engraving at an earlier stage,
very much superior to what is called a
“lettered India print,” which is obtained
after many impressions have been taken
off the engraving, and when the plate
has, consequently, become worn, and
the picture lost its clearness and sharp
ness of line. To turn an “India print,”
therefore, into an “India proof,” the
India print is cut down all round close
to the engraving. A clean sheet of
Indi i paper, of the same tone as the
India print, but of a larger size, so as to
show a clean, blank margin, is then
i mounted on a piece of still larger plain
paper, and the cut down India print in
turn is mounted in such a position as to
show the usual margin all round. Before
drying, the manipulated print is sub
jected to immense pressure, which so
forces the mounted print into the India
paper as to entirely hide the difference
in the thickness of the material. A true
impression taken off a plate leaves the
mark of tire plate all round the picture;
and to add this to the “doctored” India
proof, a plain steel or copper plate of
the proper size is laid on the face of the
print, which is again subjected to pres
sure, and the deception is then so com
plete as almost to bafile detection. A
' volume belonging to a collector was sup
posed to contain India paper impressions
of engravings to the value of £3OO, but
on examination they were found to be
“doctored” plates, not worth £3O in
all.— Chambers' Journal.

Influence of Association.
I remember once seeing an advertise
ment in the papers with which I was
much struck, and which I will take the
liberty of reading : “Lost, in the Tem
ple Coffee House, and supposed to have
be taken away by mistake, an oaken
stick, which has supported its master
not only over the greatest part of Europe,
but has been his companion in his jour
neys over the inhospitable deserts of
Africa. Whoever will restore it to the
waiter, will confer a very serious obliga
tion on the advertiser; or, if that be
any object, shall receive a recompense
very much above the value of the article
restored.” Now, here is a man, who
buys a sixpenny stick, because it is
useful, and totally forgetting the trifling
causes which first made his stick of any
consequence, speaks of it with warmth
■ and affection; calls it his companion,
and would hardly have changed it,,per
haps, for the gold stipk which is carried
before the king. But the besf atd the
. strongest example of t*iis, and of the
customary progress ol is
the passion of avarice. A child *only
loves a guinea because it shines ; and, as
I it is equally splendid, he loves a gilt
button as well. In after life he begins
to love wealth because it affords him the
comforts of existence, and then loves it
so well that he denies himself the com-
■ forts of life to increase it. The uniting
idea is so totally forgotten that it is com
pletely sacrificed to the ideas which it
united. Two friends unite against the
i person to whose introduction they are
indebted for their knowledge of each
I other ; exclude him from their society
and rnip him by their combination.—

After all, the Keely motor is a fraud.
Says the Scientific American:
The truth is that "the secret” was divulged
long ago. The power exhibited by the motor
is simply that of conipresKed air introduced
surreptitiously by pipes which connect it with a
condenser.
Perhaps the company who have in
vested so heavily in the motor, and have
been patiently waiting for years to real
ize their dreams of a scientific revolu
tion—and fortunes—will now turn their
attention to hard facts as as they find
them.
Woman suffrage has at least made
some progress, whatever individual
opinions or prejudices may bo. The
committee in the United States Senate to
whom the matter was entrusted for con
sideration, have made a majority and
minority report, the majority report
favoring an amendment to tho Constitu
tion granting the elective franchise to
women, the proposed amendment to be
submitted to the several Legislatures.
The minority report favored submitting
tho matter to the several States upon tho
basis of States rights. It is not likely
that Congress will act upon the question
at the present session, but advocates of
woman suffrage may take courage and
hope for a full discussion of the theme
next winter.
Taxes in Holland.
Taxes in Holland, Mr. Bird tells us,
are generally very high, and, it is clear,
are often very mischievous. Here they
might learn much from us. “There is
a tax on every window, door, chimney,
servant, * * * on every article of
household furniture in use. One must
even pay for tho privilege of earning
one’s daily bread, no man being permit
ted to carry on a profession, trade or oc
cupation of any sort unless he obtains
what is called a “patent.” The poor
tax-payer has not even the satisfaction
of having his taxes called for. He must
take the money to the collector’s office,
and often lose an hour or two while wait
ing till the great man can attend to him.
Should he be behind in the payment, one
or two hungry militiamen are quartered
in his house at his expense until he has
cleared off his arrears. Two hundred
years ago boots and shoes, “ those arti
cles so essential to human comfort,” as
our author somewhat needlessly de
scribes them, were not only taxed, but
were conspicuously marked on the up
per leather with the Government stamp.
Medical men have their fees fixed by
law, and fixed at a low rate. To make
up for this, no druggist can sell the sim
plest mixtures unless the prescriptions
of a doctor be produced. If a man is [
suffering from headache or toothache, j
though he may know of some remedy ■
which will give him relief, he cannot
procure it until he has consulted a med
ical man. In some parts of Holland the
houses of the poorer Boers are but little
better than Irish cabins. “The family
live all together in one large room,
divided by wooden partitions, which
serves as parlor, kitchen and bed-room,
and is not unfrequcntly shared with a
cow or donkey.” The bed is a huge box,
filled with heather or seaweed, and in
districts exposed to floods is often raised
to a height of six or seven feet above the
floor. In respect of cleanliness these
poor people are far superior to tho Irish.
Even if a laborergets not more than 10s.
a week, yet he, his wife and children
will be seen every Sunday “respectably
dressed and scrupulously clean.” It is a
very common custom for the peasants to
leave their wooden shoes outside the
doors of their cottages, so that they may
not carry the dirt inside. By counting
the number of shoes it can be readily
seen how many people there are at any
one time in the house, — The Saturday
Review. -
Violating a Patent.
It will be sad news to many a prudent
hous* wife to learn that every time she
picks a hole in an egg with a pin she is
violating the patent of an American in
ventor, but such is the case. Years ago
an inventive genius devoted himself to
discovering a method to prevent eggs
from cracking during the process of boil
ing. He solved the problem by picking
a pin-hole in one end of the egg, through
which the air in the shell was allowed to
escape, and this pin-hole he duly
patented according to law. Precisely
how he managed to collect his royalty is
a mvstery, but the fact remains that he
has a legal claim for royalty on every
pin-hole made in an egg before boiling.

How Lincoln Treated His Riy
Lincoln had away of maintain
timate personal and official n
with his most formidable politics
Instead of quarreling with the

mit the Government to be deprn

tion. Whether this course was die
solely by devotion to the public ,
ests or in part by that keenness of )
cention which taught Lincoln the
vantage of having his rivals in hit,
official household, it is not necessai
inquire. It is only just to say, howe
that it is not known that Mr. Lin
ever indulged a feeling of personal
terness at the expense of the good of the
public service during his entire public
career. Os Mr. Lincoln’s entire free
