Mrs. Swisshelm editress of the Pitts
burg Saturday Visitor, makes petticoats
the test of womanhood, and will hear of
no compromise nor coalition with the 9TH
+er sex, except upon the entire abandon
Fnent by the ladies of the pantaloons.-
Mrs. Swisshelm defines her position in an
article commenting upon Mrs. Fanny kem-
ble's repossed appearance in public places
attired like man. The following is an
extract from her protest:
s'But we cannot still believe she dresses
really like man. If we did, we should
think very little of her. Most likely,
her rambling, fishing, exercise costume,
80 much talked about, is some fancifnl i'm
imitation Of boys Notwithstanding like
the short dresses and drawers worn by
missis. Mrs. Butler certainly has too
much sense-too much taste-to appear
in straight coat and pantaloons. Our long
wide skirts are indeed great impediment
in rural exercises. We have often felt
this in walking through wet grass, getting
over fences, and clambering round rocks.
A short dress, and some substitute for pam
falcons, would be a great convenience in
such excursions, provided the costume
was sufficiently marked and distinguished
from mems apparel. 1t would be too hu-
initiating to be met and mistaken for man
We should a great deal rather be arrested
as a sheep thief. We shall use all our in
huence 10 preserve mans right to his pam
falcons inviolate. They ought to be his,
and his only, for they are too ugly for any
body else 10 wear.
"But the best distinction between the
sexes is the beard. Why do not all men
wear the beard, or some part of it? A
smoothly shaved or beardless man meets
our ideas of manhood about as well as a
square shouldered, shingle shaped woman
meets our notions of womanhood. There
is very little difference between the men,
tai formation of man and woman, still there
is difference; but the physical structure
is another matter. Nature has made the
lines of difference very marked and strong
and the more perfect the developement OF
either, the greater the dissmilarity. A
Venus with the muscles of Hercules
would be fright. Art should not inter-
fere with natue's arrangements. Let m en-
look like themselves, and women like wo-
man. Let met keep their distinct apparel
their strength, and their ugliness in well
come. Nobody wants either unless in
deed Mrs. Butler has taken fancy 10 their
clothes; and if she has, she should be court
martialed, and deprived of her woman's
commission.

Remarkable Rock in Lake Superior.

One of the most remarkable rocks of
which we have any knowledge has lately
been discoveIed in the middle of the Inland
Sea, Lake Superior. BY a gentleman
who has lately returned from Copper
Harbor, we learn that shaft of trap rock
has very lately been discovered rising IN
the lake from $50 to 300 miles from land
and ascending above the water a distance
of not above four feet. What renders it
more extraordinary, is that it stands en-
tirely alone; and all around ii so far as
examinations have been made, no bottom
has been reached by any of the lead lines
used on the lakes; and the point of the
rock itself does not extend an area of more
than six or seven feet square; and so far
as observation of it has extended, it does
not appear to enlarge in size as II de-
scends. 1t has already, he states, become
source of alarm to the mariners who ma
vigate the lake, who take especial care, in
passing, to give it as wide a berth as pos
sible.
1t is too small-too remote and danger
Gus to admit of light, and therefore its
removal will doubtless pertain to govern
ment. A single blast from bore of suf1i-
cient depth would do it; but the surface OF
the rock being so near that of the water,
! and the space SO narrow as TO forbid any
regular lodgment for workmen, they would
have to be attended constantlyepy a vessel
of sufficient size to resist any sudden
storm on the lake; and would also have to
be kept constantly under way, as no har-
Dor or even bottom Tor an anchor is with
in days sail.
The discoveries relate that the rock ap-
pears to be place of general resort for
the salmon trout of those lakes, as they
found them in almost incalculable num-
bers; and having during their short stay
caught several barrels with no other in
strument than a rod of iron, on one end OF
which they turned hook.
They tried with all the lines on board
for soundings Immediately round the rock,
but Without success Such a vast colusz..,s
could it be exposed to view, would laugh
into ridicule Cleopatra Needle, Pom
pey's Pillar, the Colossus of Rhodes, OF
any production of ancient or modern art.

Poetry OF a Steam Engine.

There is to our thinking something aw-
fully grand in the contemplation of a vast
steam engine. Stand amid its ponderous
beams and bars, wheels and cylinders, and
watch their unceasing play; how regular
and how powerful! The machinery of a
lady's Geneva watch is not more nicely
adjusted-the rush of the avalanche is not
more awful in its strength. Old Gothic
cathedrals are solemn places, preaching
solemn things; cut TO him who thinks, an
engine room my preach more solemn
lesson still. 1t will tell him of mind
mind welding matter at its will-mind
triumphing over ply ysical difficulties-man
asserting his great upremacy-intellect
battling with the elements. And how eX-
quisitely complete is every detaili how
every little bar and screw fit and work to-
gether. Vast as is the machine, let Dol: be
but a tenth part of an inch too long or too
short, and the whole fabric is disorgan-
lied. 1t is one complete piece of harmo-
ny-an iron essay upon unity of design
and execution. There is deep poetry
IN the steam engine-more of the poetry
of motion than in the bound of an antelope
more of the poetry of power than the
dash of the cataract. And ought it not to
be lesson to those who laugh at novelties,
and put no faith in inventions, TO consider
that this complex fabric, this triumph of
art and science was once the laughing
stock of jeering thousands, and once only
the waking fantasy of boys mind as he
sat, and in seeming idleness, atched a
little column of vapor rise from the spout
OF tea kettle!

From the Boston Herald of Tuesday.


One of our reporters visited Cambridge
last evening, and ascertained tha, on Sat
urday night Marshal Edwards, in conse
quence of apprehensions by the Mayor,
that an attack might be made upon the
the residence of Professor Webster, on
Garden street, assembled 25 special po-
lice men, who were directed to patrol near
the house, without exciting suspicious of
their object. n attempt, however, was
made to modest the innocent occupants of
the house, which is not owned by Prof.
Webster, but by Jonas Wyeth, Esq
Our reporter also learned some facts in
relation to the personal history and family
relations of the Professor. He is the son
of the late Redford Webster, Esq, for
merly an affluent resident of the north part
of Boston, where he died some time about
the year 1884, leaving about $4,000.
which, we learn, is conveyed as life es-
tate to Professor Webster, and at his death,
to his children. Young Webster, while
in College, was not considered passionate
or fractious, but rather chicken-hearted, as
one of his college mates expresses it. He
was nervous but not quarrelsome. After
he had graduated, he went to Europe, and
finished his medical education in England
and Scotland. On his return from thence,
about the time of his fathers death, he
stopped at the Azoras, and became ac-
quainted with Miss Hinckley, now his
wife, at the port of Fayal; she was then
residing with her father, who held the
post of American Consul at that port. He
married her there, and returned to Cam
bridge, and lectured at the college for a
year or two, when he was elected profess
sor, in the year 1887.
Since then he has resided in Cambridge
and has lectured upon chemistry, geology,
re,inc-alogy, at = Cambridge and in Ills CITY !,
and was in rse=sipt Of salary, and from
tickets to his lectures at the medical col
lege, at the time of his arrest, of from two
to three thousand dollars, which from his
carelessness about money matters was in
sufficient for his wants, and kept him al
ways in debt. His family now consists
of a wife and four daughters, the youngest
sixteen years of age, and the eldest about
twenty three. The oldest is married to
Mr.. Dabney, the present Consul at Fayal.
The other three daughters reside at Cam
bridge, and with their mother, are in deep
affliction on account of the arrest and sus-
picions of their husband and father. The
feeling entertained among the citizens of
Cambridge, who best know DR.. Webster,
is, that he is innocent of the charge on
which he has been arrested, or that if gull
ty, some unknown provocation must have
induced the fatal attack. Our reporter
called last evening at the jail, and ascer-
tanned that the professor haC. passed quiet
day, having partaken of his meals regular
ly, and being free from that alternate ex-
element and gloom which characterized
him for some "a hours after his arrest.

How TO tell the Hour of DAY.

Seat yourself at a table. Attach piece
of metal (say a shilling) to a thread. Hav-
ing placed your elbow on the table, hold
the thread between the points of the fore
finger; and allow the shilling to hang in
the centre of g lass tumbler; the pulse
will Immediately cause the shilling to vi
brate like pendulem, and the vibrations
will increase until the shilling strikes the
side of the glass; and suppose the time of
the experiment be the hour of seven, or
half past seven, the pendulem will strike
the glass seven times, and then lose its
momentum and return 10 the centre; ifyou
hold the thread a sufficient length of time
the effect will be repeated; but not until a
sufficient space of time has elapsed to con-
vince you that the experiment. is most COM
plete. | need not add that the thread
must be held with steady hand; other
wise the vibrating motion will be counter
acted. At whatever hour of the day or
night, the experiment is made, the coinci-
dence will be the same.

The Bottle Trick before the Queen.

The following, from the Caledonia Mer-
curry, throws into the shade Blitz, Herr
Alexander, and we do not know but it
goes ahead Of the old gentleman himself.
'On Monday, prince Albert's birthday,
during the festivities at Balmoral, the wi
zard of the north, professor Anderson,
was present, and was asked if he would
perform the feat they had heard so much
Of his having done successfully, srhe In

son receiving the royal command to
perform 1t, he called for champagne bot
tie, and handed a large number of glasses
round, and asked lord Portman what he
would drink. His lordship replied, whis-
key; whlskey was poured out. Mr.. An
son preferred brandy, which he got Sew
eral demanded wine, which passed freely;
and one of the proprietors Of the royal
distillery, Mr.. Begg, thinking to battle the
professor, asked him if he would give him
glass of his best Lochnager whiskey.-
No sooner said than done; and the Loch-
{ nager whiskey became in great demand.
A large number of additional glasses were
distributed, and some called for Irish
whiskey, numbers brandy, the Highlanders
patronized Mr.. Begg; when Lord John
huSSel, perhaps ike MT. Degg, wished to
try the wizards skill, asked for a glass of
rum, which was Immediately supplied,
and his lordship pronounced it excellent.
The london portion of the domestics and
police called for gin, which was freely
poured out of this extraordinary bottle;
and the wizard was returning to his seat,
when his royal highness, anxious to test
the bottle-presumed, as he was returning,
that it was exhausted-asked him if more
could be poured out. Glasses were bro't
for her majesty and prince Albert, and on
being asked what they preferred, requested
Begg's best Lochnager, which Immediate
ly ran fo rth, and her majesty and the
prince, tasting 1t, acknowledged its purity;
and the wizard gave the bottle to the
prince, and asked him to look if it was
empty-it was. Mr.. Anderson brought
some water, and in the princes hand, fill
ed it, ordered glasses, and asked the prince
what wine he preferred. Port was Sc
lected. The prince poured out port, then
milk, then champagne, then broke the
bottle, and III it was discovered beautiful
turtle dove.

PHILADELPHIA LAWYERS Beaten.

The following card of a new ..beginner

we publish it free ofcharge Mr.. Coxson

Our Country, oar Lars, oar Side
John K. Coxson, attorney at law. tenders
his professional services to the citizens of
Jefferson county and the public generally.
He can be found at his office in Punk

entrusted TO him of money will be attended
to promptly in any part of the State, and
shall be placed Immediately in the hands

He will council on all matters touching
the laws of God or man, taking no fees
for the former; for It's fruits of peace yield
sufficient reward; its summary is love
thy neighbor as thyself, and owe no man
anything. By strict obedience to this first
code, most likely you will never call on
him for council on the second; but if you
desire to leave the quiet waters of peace,
and to tempt the troubled seas Of discord
and commotion, he will stand your pilot
through hells of strife, and wait you gent
ly over yawning elements of hungry ruin,
bowling to swallow wrecked estates, that
when you have once more set your foot
on terra frn1a, like Moses and Aaron.

the law allows them, are engulfed into the

Military Glory.

There is something inexplicable in the
reverence paid by men TO honors won al
battle. The worlds history appears, in
deed, to be preserved rather in the history
of battle fields than i'll any other way. Il
is very true that the struggle of man with
hissfellow man hasbeen incessant, and the
contest for power or fame make up the
daily current of political events; but that
will hardly account for the fact that while
asfew men worship at old shrines oflearn-
ing, and do homage 10 the divinity dwell
ling IN them, by far the greater portion of
the race are better satisfied with viewing
battle fields, and relics of hard blows, bat
tered swords, and like evidences of mans
hatred 10 man. Few who visit Greece
care to search out the favorite resorts of
the old philosophers; but all rush to Mara
thon or Thermopyle. Even in countries
made interesting by modern events. few
care to remain for any length of time in
the houses of great or good men, or TO
tread on ground hallowed by the footsteps
of eparied worthless, while the mass pour
steadily to Waterloo, TO Culioden, Mars
ton Moor and hundred similar places,
renowned as soil fertilized by the blood
of men. If further illustration of the fact
that men worship military glory, were
needed, it may be found in the attention
paid 10 soldiers who have fought bravely.
compared with that paid to men who are
only known as giants i'll intellect; but no
proof is required.
An illustration is afforded by an anec-
dote of KoSciusko in his retirement, not
long before his death. He then resided
in a cottage in village of France; and du-
ring the invasion of France, a Polish
regiment passed through the village
Some outrages were committed by the
soldiery, and Kosciusko, an old and feeble
man, came out of of his cottage and adj

A Pretty Conceit Some one says of

A Pretty Concen Same one says of
the roses-how they became red:
They were all of pure and spoiless
white when in Eden, they first spread out
their leaves to the morning sunlight of
creation. Eve, as for the first time she
gazed upon the tintless gem could not sup
press 'her admiration of its beauty, but
stopped down and impressed warm kiss
upon its snowy bosom. The rose stole
the scarlet tinge from her velvet lip, and
vet it wears it,

so sweet an idea; but il is said that white
handkerchiefs are frequently made red now
days by rubbing them over rosy cheeks

Definite .4a8Uers.-We had to laugh
at reading the answers, 'to a correspond

asks about the Falls and the editor says:
How many gallons of water goes over

have no slate. Howsever, good many
we do think, and probably more than we
think. A friend of ours has made cal
culation how many miles all creeping
things in Gods world would creep in one
hour, provided they took it easy. And
the total summum bonum, if we remem-
Der right, was extremely much.
