assessor for the Sixth District of New York.

Professor Townsend Glover has established in
Washington a National Economic Museum, wherein
are gathered all manner of insects, birds, grains,
grasses, fibres, plants, &c., and a system inaugurated
of communication and exchange with all parts of
the world to collect the general experience and ob-
servation. His object is mainly practical, and his
museum has been found, in many instances, of great
utility to farmers. A tobacco grower lately called
to get information regarding an insect then injuring
his plant. On being shown drawings of all that
infest tobacco he singled out his depredator, when
he was taken to the live specimen, and had the op-
portunity of learning its habits from birth to death,
and how to kill it. Another having noticed num-
bers of insects in his vineyard, called to ascertain
whether they were prejudicial to the grape vine. A
similar reference, recognition, and inspection proved
it to be harmless ; and a third who inquired about a
bird found it to be insectiferous, and his mind was set
at rest. An emigrant desirous of ascertaining what
the products are in any part of the Union can learn
inspecting them at this museum, and a citizen
of any State can ascertain whether he could pro-
fitably introduce the cultivation of any produce
into his county.
The opinion of Judge Hoar as to the right of
Massachusetts to grant the privilege to the French
Telegraph Company of landing their Cable in that
state has produced much discussion in the A.meri.

amendment were sixty-nine. For it, were 213. Si
that tie clear majority Wa3 144 in favour of the
omission (from clause 27 of the Irish Church Bill) of
the words, requiting that, in consideratiun of hand-
ing over the glebe houses to the Church Body, the
Cotnmissioners should be paid either ten times
annual value of the sites estimated as land, or, in the
alternative, either any building charges on the glebe
houses, or ten years' annual value of them. As ori-

AMATEUR T. PROFESSIONAL CRICKETERS.

The amateur cricketers are just now in the
rscendant. Until within the last two or three years
an eleven in which the professionals predominated
would almost invariably defeat a " team " composed
mainly of gentlemen. The annual match, " Gentle-
men v. Players," resulted for the most part in an easy
victory for the latter. But this year a powerful
eleven of professionals, including four of the best
bowlers in England, have been twice beaten by
eleven amateurs. The county of Surrey, represented
mostly by professionals, has been hopelessly beaten
by several teams of gentlemen. The best batsman
of the day, Mr. W. G. Grace, is an amateur. In
short, the gentlemen, for the time, have plainly the
superiority, and the general cry is that professional
cricket must hide its diminished head and go out of
date. But there is another side to the question. It
is generally found that men who give their whole
lives to a pursuit and earn their bread by it attain
greater proficiency than those who follow it for
amusement only, and cricket is no exception to the
rule. The fact is that the amateurs are beating
the professionals only by becoming virtually
professionals themselves. They appear on the
scoring-sheet with " Esq." to their name, and they
do not play for a livelihood ; but these are the only
differences. The leading amateur players figure in
matches six days out of the seven. Some of them
play regularly with the professionals for their
county. The best of the two University teams have
been playing in great matches every day except
Sunday for weeks past. The great cricketers at the
public schools spend most of their time at the
wickets. This is the reason why the gentlemen
are rivalling the professionals. Is it perfectly satis-

If Z. LOWDEIt.

Buying the present week the third ann'versary of
the cwiseeration of St. Peter's Church, London
Doclis, has been held. The Church Times, spea,liing
of the principal day, says : " The high altar was
ablaze with its numerous lighted tapers. There
were Low Masses at 6.30, 7, and 8, when num-
b 'rs of the inhabit ants of the district made their
communions. The high celebration was at eleven
o'clock, at which the ritual was exceedingly
beautiful and elaborate, and doubtless in accorth,nee
with the law of the Church of England, though,
perhaps, scarcely coming within the terms of the
Queen's del:ree." In the course of his speec't at the
luncheon, the incumbent, Mr. Lowder, said that he
had heard nothing official with regard to the
threatened prosecution, and the Bishop of London
had promised that it should not be commenced with-
out giving him official intimation. Lord Eliot, Sir
Charles Yorag, Mr. Bevan, and Mr. Brett were
among the other speakers, and it was declared that
the only result of prosecutions would be, as at St.
Alban's, to make the ritual more beautiful and
elaborate than before.

AMATEUR V. PItOFESSIOSAL CRICKETF.IIB.

The amateur cricketers aro just now in the

THE NEGRO IN VIRGINIA.

It seems highly probable that the African race will
speedily be thrust out of Virginia southwards to a
warmer clime. Of late a large body of immigrants
from the North have settled in the " Old Dominion,"
the number of these is increasing, and the free black will
have the utmost difficulty in contending with his hardy
and energetic riva's. The fine soil of Virginia affords
every encouragement to the settler, and accordingly the
cry is " Still they come." The price of land in the old
State fell after the war to one•fourth its former price. It
has now risen to onelalf, and is still going up. Thanks
to this immigration, the civil war will soon be almost
forgotten in Virginia at least.

NITRO-GLYCERINE.

Dr. Smith, of Finsbury, writes to the Dafly News
on the subject of nitro-glycerine. Ile says that the
fearful explosion near Carnarvon, on Wednesday,
affords another example of the risk that is incurred
through ignorance and indifference. The question
to consider is, whether valuable lives and property are
to be at the mercy of persons who employ nitro-
glycerine because it is more economical than gun-
powder. Even if the greatest precautions• are
employed, it is impossible to guard against
the explosion of nitro-glycerine. During
the four years which have passed since its discovery
many serious accidents have been produced through
its agency. In 1860 some cases exploded at Aspinwall,
on the Isthmus of Panama, when the vessel in which
they were stored was demolished, as well as another
large ship laying alongside, and several persons were
killed. At Newcastle, a short time ago, great loss of
life occurred through a similar explosion, and it is
evident that the employment of nitro-glycerine is
attended by such fearful risk that it ought to be
prohibited under heavy penalties.

lIIGII TREASON IN PRUSSIA.

Some months ago Count Bismarck demanded the trial
of Dr. Otto Welater, of the Dresden International Bulletin,
on a charge of high treason. His offence lay in vigorousiy
employing his newspaper in advocating the independent
autonomy of Saxony, now included in the North German
Confederation and semi•annexed to Prussia. The Saxon
Government long resisted this request; but at length it
yielded to the autocratic Bismarck, and the trial has
just taken place at Dresden. The result must be highly
unsatisfactory for the Count-. Tho Saxon jury unanimously
acquitted the doctor. The court resounded with applause,
and the prisoner was released amid loud cries in favour of
Saxon autonomy.

Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the, closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
over before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and presonve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

FIRE IN THE CI7Y ROAD.

Between eleven and twelve o'clock this morning
a great fire happened on the premises of Messrs.
Lawes and Co., upholsterers, City-road, and at the
time of this being written a great destruction of
property was going on, although Messrs. Gatehouse,
Bridges, and twelve fire-engines were pouring tor-
rents of water on the flames. The fire was not ex-
pected to be subdued for some hours. Damage to
the extent of £lOO,OOO is said to have been done
already.

RESCUED BOYS.

On Thursday the visitors to the Chichester training
ship at Greenhithe were present at a very interest-
ing spectacle. It will be remembered that the
Chichester was first used as a training ship in con-
nection with the Refuge for Homeless Boys about
two years ago. The boys are taken from
the " gutter children" of London to the Refuge,
and allowed to volunteer for the ship, where
they are boarded, clothed, educated, and trained for
£l5 a year each. The annual gathering of the friends
of this excellent charity took place on Thursday, when
prizes were distributed among the lads. Since the
vessel has been in working order no fewer than
400 boys have been received on board. Of these
126 have been placed in merchant ships and
6 in the Royal Navy, while others have
obtained situations on shore. Of the whole 400
only 26 have failed in their new profession, 13 having
been returned to the Refuge as unfit for a sea life,
while 13 others left, not liking the restraint. The
eagerness with which the boys generally take to their
new life is very remarkable, and their practical success
in it is testified by the captains who have employed
them. Those who looked on the clean and cheerful
lads who on Thursday manned the yards of the
Chichester, and remember the vice and degradation
which surround the city Arab, might well rejoice
that practical philanthopy had found the means of
effecting so marvellous a transformation.

BUCKING DIPLOMATISTS.

Our readers may have heard the following story
before. Two gentlemen were at a party. Says the
first to the second, pointing to a lady not favoured
by Venus, " Who is that ugly witch of a woman ?"
" That is my sister," was the reply. " Oh, no, not
that lady, but that one," says the interrogator, in
great confusion, and telling a white lie to get out of
a scrape. " That is my wife." Exit interrogator,
overwhelmed with shame. This is an old story, and we
ranaat it merely to show the march of mind and manners

HIGH TREASON IN PRUSSIA.

Some months ago Count Bismarck demanded the trial
of Dr. Otto Walster, of the Dresden International Bulletin,
on a charge of high treason. His offence lay in vigorously
employing his newspaper in advocating the independent
autonomy of Saxony, now included in the North German
Confederation and semi•annexed to Prussia. The Saxon
Government long resisted this request ; but at length it
yielded to the autocratic Bismarck, and the trial haft
just taken place at Dresden. The result must be highly
unsatisfactory for the Count. The Saxon jury unanimously
acquitted the doctor. The court resounded with applause,
and the prisoner was released ►mid loud cries in favour of
Saxon autonomy.

"WWI it MEM& taSheWtheraankaf mind a era,

which has taken place since. Men still make tneee
blunders, especially very young men, but then they,
no longer lose their presence of mind. They pre-
serve their sang froid, and prove the clever-
ness of their heads at the expense, perhaps, of
their hearts. The Daily News tells the following
good story, which we beg our readers to compare
with the first, and to note well the difference. Two
youths, very young indeed, but aspiring no doubt to
some high diplomatic mission, are speaking to each
other in a crowded ball-room. " Oh, look at that
old man, what a ridiculous head he has got," says
one. " I beg pardon, it happens to be my father,"
says the other. Replies the first: " Indeed, that is
your most respected father ? Well, could you but
see mine—it is quite another affair—he is twenty,
times more ridiculous." The two sucking diplo-
matists laughed, shook hands, and understood each
other perfectly.

TILL ERIE RAILWAY SWINDLE.

A disgraceful proceeding has been consummated in
New York State. Everybody has heard of the "Erie
P~aiitiay war"—of the proceedings by which three directors
obtained despotic control over the Erie Railway Company
awl its capital of fifteen or twenty millions sterling, of
which a large proportion is held in Europe. How they ille-
gally issued an enormausnumberof shares, how the whole of
this large capital was applied at pleasure by these three
men to their own purposes, bow the shares went up and
down io the market in a manner which has no parallel,
has been already described. The "Erie Railway war"
attained the distinction of being the greatest swindle of
an age in which commercial swindles are of more than
ordinary magnitude. The respectable shareholders long
ago felt that the only means of saving their property was
to take it out of the hands of these three directors,
and this they Lave endeavonrel to:lo. And yet the State
Legislature of :New York, with the consent of the
Governor, has just passed an Act virtually prolonging
the sway of the triumvirate or five years! The scandal
is one of exceptional enormity. But what can be expected
from a State in which judges are known to take bribes,
and the local Legislature of which is composed of represen-
tatives from the lowest dregs of the community? But a few
days ago a man applied at the Albany Police-court for ad-
mission to the Penitentiary. He had be-en a member of
the State Assembly in 1867 ; but drink had brought him
to destitution, and preservation from drink was, he said,
his only hope.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

TheAttorney-General of Rhode Island has recently
been asked—at the instance of Mr. Gilpin, M.P.—
what was his experience of the abolition of capital
punishment in the State. Ile replied : " Firstly,
there have been nine convictions for murder within
the last ten years. Secondly, the abolition of the
death penalty has not perceptibly increased the
number of homicides. Thirdly, the prevailing
public opinion in this State is in favour of C:e
present system. Fourthly, under this system con-
victions are more ersily obtained, and the certainty
of punishment operates more effectually in checiring
crime."

THE AUSTRIAN NAVY.

Austria is pushing forward her maritime armament
as rapidly as Prussia. Two more ironclads have been
ordered at Trieste, and the construction of these vessels,
which are to be very strong, will be commenced immedi-
ately. With these Austria will have not fewer than ten
irouclads. The two great German States are racing for
precedence as naval Powers. Both promise to outrun
Russia.
CONYERSION OF PROTESTANTS IN HUNGARY.

The Tablet announces a great conversion to Roman
Catholicism at a Hungarian town named Pap Tamal.
All the inhabitants of this place, with the exception of
twelve or sixteen families, have abjured Protestantism.
Seven persons only partook of the Protestant communion
on Whit-Monday last, and the mass of the population
held a meeting, after which they betook themselves to the
Catholic parish priest of Dibar, and declared their inten-
tion of embracing the Catholic faith.
