Patent Bricks.-A spectator who witness ed on Thursday last, the process of making brick by the newly invented machinery, begs leave to communicate, through the medium of your paper the satisfactory result of that experiment. It appears, that from the data furnished by the performance of Thursday, that small steam engine, equal to 16 or IS horses, would be sufficient power for the work of preparing the clay and moulding bricks, at the rate of fifty to sixty thousand per day. Among the advantages attending the new method, it may be observed, that the work is done under cover, and the bricks when formed are ready for the kiln; by which the frequent interruptions that occur from changes of weather, in the usual mode may be entirely avoided.
 This method of manufacturing bricks is be- leved to be the only successful effort ever made, though it has been often tried, to per form by machinery, and without the addition of water, the labor of preparing the clay and moulding the brick. In the common way of proceeding the expense of preparing the clay and drying the bricks, constitutes large por- tion of the whole cost and the saving which is evidently made by the use of this machine ry seems to entitle the invention to high rank among the triumphs of modern genius

Female Courage.-We were few days since favored by gentleman just from the neighborhood, where the transaction took place, with the following statemens which may be relied on as being correct
 "In Marengo county, Alabama, some time during 1880, a stout negro man came to the house of MT Philips, with large knife in his hand, and finding no person there but Miss P. demanded of her something to eat, and on her refusing, he swore he would have it. The lady when she heard this drew a club and knocked him to the floor, and drove him away. He was seen no more until about ten days since, when he returned to where the said lady was alone, and called at the fence, saying that she was the d. -, who knocked him down and took his knife, and that he would now pay her for it, The young lady became alarmed, and immediate ly began to load the gun, during which time she passed several words with him and about the time she was priming the gun, he advanced towards the house, but before he entered, she fired and hit him, which caused him to fall and after some time he arose and made his way to the woods ; he was followed some distance by the blood, but he was not lapprehended.

Burning of he Western Prairies. We have no means of determining at what period the fires first began to sweep over these plains, because we know not when they began to be inhabited. 1tis quite possible that they might have been occasionally fired by light
 ming, previous to the introduction of that ele- ment by human agency, At all events it is very evident that as soon as fire began to be used in this country by its inhabitants, the an nual burning of the prairies must have com menced. One of the peculiarities of this eli mate is the dryness of its summers and au- tumns. A drought often commences in Au- gust, which, with the exception of few showers towards the close of that month, continues throughout the fall season. The immense mass of vegitation with which this fertile soil loads itself during the summer, is suddenly withered, and the whole surface of the earth is covered with combnstible mate rals. This is especially true of the prairies, where the grass grows to the height of from six to ten feet, and being entirely exposed to the sun and wind, dries with great rapidity. A single spark of fire falling any where upon the plains, at such a time, would instantly kindle blaze that would spread on every side, and continue it's destructive course as long as it should find fuel. Travellers have described these fires as sweeping with a ra-
  fore them. Such is not the case, or is true only of few rare instances. The thick sward of the prairie presents considerable mass of fuel, and offers barrier to the progress of the flame, which is not easily surmounted.- The fire advances slowly, and with power.- The heat is intense. The flames often extend across a wide prairie, and advance in a long line. No sight can be more sublime, than to behold in the night, stream of several miles in breadth advancing across these wide plains, leaving behind it black cloud of smoke, and throwing before it a vivid glare which lights up the whole landscape with the brilliancy of noon day. A roaring and cracking sound is heard like the rushing of a hurricane. The fame which is general, rises to the height of about twenty feet, is seen sinking and darting upwards in spires, precisely as the waves dash against each other, and as the spray flies up into the air and the whole appear ance is often that of boiling, and flaming sea violently agitated. The progress of the fire is slow, and the heat so great that every con- bustibe object in it's course is consumed. We to the farmer whose ripe corn fields extend into the prairie, and who suffers the tall grass to grow in contact with his fences The whole labor of the year is swept away in a few hours. But such accidents are compara- lively unfrequent, as the preventive is simple and easily applied. d.-IIinois I1ag.

From the Spirit of the Age. THE AGFl-WHAT Acr

THE AGE!-WHAT AGE9 This is, says one, the Age of Light; Behold the morning dawningi While some regret to lose the night; And show it by their yawning It IS, says one, the Age of Peace, Wars bloody days are over: You're rather fast:-till tyrants cease. Old Mars shall live-in clover. lis, says one, the Age of Scots Men gather into parties, While each his favorite band protects, And cries, come on my harties.' It's call'd the Age of Paper-casb; Which leads to much contention. some hold 1t money-some but trash, A mischieyous invention. Some say it is the Age of Facts And not of Speculation Some say ii is the Age of Tracts, And quote their circulation Some call it Religious Age.
 And some the Age of Reason;, While Kings and Corters in a rage, Gall 1t the Age of Treason. Reformers cry-''t is the Day
 And Age of Reformaton;" But wise ones shake their heads and s., Or rather Innovation any Noiueh age IS come We're told Neyer.to be forgotten; in neighborlng States they're digging gold Instead of making cotton. Some say it is the Age of Crime

 An Age of Revolution It has been called a Reading Age; but that's with one in seven: If all would in the work engage.
 Twould be the Printers Heaven. 1t has been term'd the Age of Thought, And Free investigation: Men question what their Fathers taught, And claim examination. Whatever be it's leading aims. If it indeed has any, It seems to, be the Age of Names,
