"HUMBUe!" is a stereotyped argument
for many persons who are TOO ~listless or gid
dy to think, and who dispose OF all subjects,
philosophical, religious and scientific, with
this exclamation, SO entirely satisfactory and
conclusive to themselves, that the only won
der to them is, that any discovery should ev-
er afterward presume to show its head in the
world.-Yankee Blade.

HORACE MANN, in a late lecture in Bos-
ton, said the gods of the world are fast dy-
ing out, and one deity alone is worshipped-
,oeaith. Were it currently reported that the
river Jordan was bedded with gold, and that
the Pool of Bethesda was lined with pearls,
the Christian world would vie with the Jews
to rebuild Jerusalem, and ships would be up
for Palestine instead of San Francisco.

We often hear of Irish CALAMITY, but Afri-
ca is equal to Ireland. A negro driver of a
coach in Texas, stopped to get some water
for the young ladies in the carriage-being
asked what he stopped for, replied, ~ am

compliment could not have been paid.

CHARcoAL RoAD.-A new method of road
making is coming into vogue in Wisconsin.
The process is thus described:
The wood taken from the track is cut into
the longest possible cuts, being straight; the
stumps reduced to the surface; the wood be-
ing piled %lengthwise, 8 feet wide, four feet
high, with slopes of as degrees, is covered
with straw and earth from the bitches, is
then charred and quenched in ten days.
The earth cover is then taken off to the tour
feet next inside to the bitches, the charcoal is
then raked open to the width of Is feet, two
feet thick in the centre and u foot at the mar
gin; the burned earth at the sides is then to
be raked into shape and the weather and
use will complete the work.
1t is the belief of intelligent men that this
will prove superior to plank roads.

FREpERIKA BREMER AT HoPEDALE.-Our
Community were honored, on the both ult.,
with a call from this distinguished authoress.
She was conducted hither by our respected
friends, Marcus Spring and lady OF New
York, who had taken Miss b. and another
learned Swede, a University Professor, whose
name we have lost, along with them, TO see
a specimen of New England family Thanks
giving. And we presume they had u very
good one among Mr.. Springs friends in the
n~eighboring town OF UXbridge, not TO mem
ton the remains which they saw here ga
day otter the Fair" Miss b. interested our
people much, and seemed herself interested
with what she saw OF our Community enter
prise. She appears TO be a woman OF unat-
iected simplicity, frankness, kind feeling and
courtesy-wholly free from whatever might
make her interiors shrink from her presence,
or afraid of conversational intercourse. Her
writings, in their kind, are OF an elevated Or
der, breathing forth many OF the noblest sem
tinients, as well as the tenderest sensibilities
OF the human heart, and sometimes impress
sively intoxicating the highest Christian du-
ties. We had but a few moments in which
to interchange ideas with her; but those few
were so satisfactorily spent, that we are hap
py to expect an ampler interview next Spring,
on her return from the great West, at which
time she promises to make Hopedale u more
leisurely yisit.-Prdc. Christian.

Tho folks that on the first Of May
Wore winter coats and hose,
Began TO say, the first Of June,
"Good Lord! how hot il grows.'
Al last two Fahrenheits blew up,
And killed two children small,
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor with its ball
Now all day long, the locus,s lang
Among the lcafless trees:
Three new hotels wrapped inside out,
The pumps could only wheezc;
And ripe old wine, that twenty years
Had cobwcbbcd DER in vain,
Came spouting through the rotten corks,
Like Joly's bes. Champagne!
The Worcester locomotive did
Their trip in halt nm hour;
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they checked the power;
Roll birthstone soon became a drug,
And loco-focos fell;
All asked tor ice, but everywhere
Saltpetrc was TO sell
Plump men Of mornings ordered tights,
But, ere tho scot ching Moons,
Their candle-moulds had grown rs loose
AZ Cossuck panialoons!
The dogs ran mnd-mcn could not try
II water they would choose;
A horse fell dead, he only left
-Four rcd.hot, rusty shoes!
But soon the people could not bear
The slightest hint Of fire;
Allusions TO caloric drew
A flood Of savage ire;
The lesvcs on heat were all torn out
From every book AT school,
And many blackguards kicked and caned,
Because they said-s'keeP COOL"
Tho gas-light companies were mohbed,
The bakers all we're shot,
The penny press began To talk
Of Lynching Doctor Mott:
And all about the warehouse steps
Were angry mon in droves,
Crashing and splin,ering through the doors
To smash tho patent stoves.
The abolition men and maids
We're tanned to such hue,
You scarce could tell them from their friends
Unless their eyes were blue;
And when left, society
Had burst its ancient guards,
And Dratilc Street mud Temple Place
Were intcrchonging cards.

The SALVAGE QUESTION. The recent cor
respondcnce between the governments Of France
anl the United States, has brought out the pub
LEGATION oil many cases in which the vessels OF the
United States have been compelled to pay salvage
to British and also French government vessels,
lor assistance TO save them from shipwreck. Ii
has been the custom all the maritime nations, so
that Commander Carpenter stands clearly JUST
lied, in thinking that he and his crew were EN-
titled to it, for saving the French vessel on the
rocks az Vera Cruz The absurdlty OF the French
demand is apparent, when it is considered that
the claim is not Tor the retundng Of salvage money
but that the FreuChman whose vessel was saved
from shpwreck by the U. s. steam vessel, re
fused the payment OF any salvage and after few
hours detention, the U. S. officer gave up the
claim and left the vessel 1t is tor this slight de-
tention, while the Commander was making up his
mind whether to hold on to the vessel and prose-
cute his claim,c to release her, that the French
man has the assurance to claim damages.
The New York Journal of Commerce, cites
one where only two years ago, the brig
Act, OF Baltimore, was assisted off shoal in
the river La Plata by a French cruiser, and
compelled to pay e.third OF the value as sal
wage to the Frenchman.
In the year 1880, the English brig Ant with
valuable cargo, got on reef ia the harbor OF
Vera Cruz, ami French, an English, and Amer
lean man-of. war IN the harbor, saved from her
$780, 900 worth OF goods, and received $50 900
salvage money, which was distributed among
them, according to the amount of goods saved
by each vessel. -JNtto6uTypor Herald

,Mehemtt fiji, The late Ruler of Egypt. Me-
hemet Ali for nearly halt century was the vir-
tual sovereign OF Egypt. He set out in lite an
untutored barbarian; was a native of Cavaia in
the ancient Macedonia, and commenced the
world as obacconist in his native town. Bloody
and cruel as were some of his deeds Byron des.
cribes him as the midest man n speech and man.
ners he ever met with; and his perfect indiffer-
ence to human life when it stood between him
and the objects OF his desires, was also strongly
displayed by Cromwell in his Irish campaign.
Mehemet Ali stands forth a remarkable ex.
ample fthe powerful changes in State which
craft ,courage and energycan effect. That a petty
Roumelian shop keeper should have sat for half a
century on the throne OF the Pharoahs and PtoI
mics, and contemplated, like lhe Russian Gar,
the conquest of the ancent Byzanuum, is truly
wonderful; but still more surprising is it that one
so rudely reared, and who could not read till he
was As, should have given powerful onward
impulse TO the civilization and prosperity of the
fertile land OF Moses, SeSoStrs, the passover and
the ten plaques. Joseph's interesting history,
from the time that his brethren sold him for a
sl~ve, Southern fashion, till he lett the Jail to ac-
cept the post OF Grand Vzier to his Egyptian
Majesty, and found hi, cup in Beniamin's sack,
is lot more full of startling incidents than that Of
the Macedonian spinner OF tobacco.
