AMERICAN INVENTIVE GENIus.-The
improvements in the manufacture of per
cus>ion caps by machinery have been
rapid and wonderful. A Washington
letter in the N. Y. Tribune, speaking o!
them, savs:--
Formerly, we imported percussion
caps entirely from Europe-ihey We're
made by hand labor. Bouton invented
a mach ne, and the House Committee
on military Affairs report that it forms
the most perfect cap ever make for the
small firearms in use in our army. Fish
er, an ingenious mechanic, row dead
invented an apparatus for charging Bou-
tons with the illuminate. Wright next
set his wits to work, and combined Fish
rr and Bouton's machines INTO one,
which cuts the star from the copper,
forms the cap, charges it with the full
inmate, dresses and delivers it, ready to
be vanished. Percussion caps are now
made of best quality, for army use, at so
cents per 200 the material cos near
ly 9-1Oths Of that price-labor saving
machinery can't well get beyond that.

EARLY RISIEG.-A talented physician
remarks that early rising is the step
ping stone to all that is great and good.
Both the mind and the body are iuvlgo-

and wealth are founded. The early
morning is the best period for reflection
and study for il is then, after refreshing
sleep, that the mind is most vigorous ard
calm The statesman, as well as the
merchant, arianges his plans for the com

WHY TIE QuAKEGs WEAR THEIR HITS.
--QuakerS invariably wear tier hats
IN places Of public worship, or in public
assemblies. We see often, in our Assem-
bly, and Senate Chambers, sIouchcd hats
hanging careless y over solemn faces, and
but few are aware how this custom origi-
mated.
Fox, the founder of the collarless coats
and broad brims, Was in the habit VI at
tending the Episcopal Church.
When the preacher uttered sentiments
OF which he disapproved, he would SOL

A Singular CASE OF PETRIrAcrIoN.-
4 correspondent OF the Lowell Courier.
writing from Georgia, thus notices a sin
guar case OF petrlIaction, recently dlscov-
cred in ChlckaSaW county, in that State.
GA singular pet,iIacton was discovered
in an adjoining county (Chrckasaw) some
months since a human body being Ct a~g-
ed 10 rock, The subject was a woman
aged seventy, who died in full health, five
years since, OF apoplcxy. She was large
and llcshy person. 1t appears that her
daughter, wishing to remove her remains,
caused the grave to be opened, and upon
attempting TO lit the coffin out, it was
found impossible to do so. Ii was opened
and to the amazemcnt Of all, the body was
found was pr'rlfied, and the features 50
perfect that persons who knew the woman
could have recognized her No portion
OF the face Was missing except the tip Of
the nose. It required the strength OF six
men TO get the >'oi"c out, and it was est.
mated to coo weieh lbs. The woman was
buried on the top OF limestone ridge, and
when the grave was dug the rock was
found at few .leet from the surface. This
not beng very hard was followed out to
receive ihc coffin, and when the grave
vas opened it was full of water. The
water, | suppose. held the earthly articles
IN solution, and they were deposited gra-
da'im as TIE animal matter was removed
The body was kept Out o! the ground some
days before re-burial, and | am told the
surface, when exposed, became somewhat
soitened, but when first taken from the
ground 1t was literally as hard as a rock"
More probably, if the above narrative is
true. the body was converted into the Sub
stance called ''adipocere." Had the body
been petrificd or turned into limestone, it
would scarcely have become srhcEed upon
exposure to the az. Tie transformation
OF human remains into adlpoccre is rot an
uncommon occurrence Some years since
we remember OF having read Of the diSn-
trlment OF three bodies in Canada, which
had been converted into this substance.
As in the above Instance, the grave was so
situated as to become saturated with
water.
More recently, it was the privilege OF
the writer OF this TO inspect an adipocere
body in this city. Ii was that OF a woman
who had been many years dead, and was
diSintcrcd in the course OF cutting a street
or avenue through bnrying ground in the
upper section Of the city. Like the SUI
jet OF the Chickasaw narrative, this
woman was Charge and tleshy" and died
suddenly, after an illness OF an hour or
two. So a 50 The hodv was in state OF
perfect preservation when unroiiincd,
with singl exception OF the tip Of the
nose, and every Ilneament Of the face was
readily recognized by her surviving rela-
lives
The general appearance of the body
was not that of conversion into stone. but
into a substance more resembling sperma-
