The Bill was considered 10 Committee to com

not only one great bank in New.York, but all the
banks in Wallst, could not compel the banks in
the country to redeem in New.York at par.
Mr.. MANN thought differently. 1t was impoasi-
bic for country banks to stand up three months
against concerted effort on the part Of great

adorned when least adorned ANY who has
lounged around the corner of St. Charles and
Common streets, of a Sunday morning, will
remember this originals strange appearance,
his broad-brimmed, white fur hat, embroidered
clothes, goId-nobbed cane, and massive, yalua.
bic rings, chains and breastpns.
This new ring will greatly add to his value
on these ho iiday promenades. His dress and
ornamental accoutrements have hitherto, we
are tod, been worth only $4,000; the ring
adds 5000 thereto. 1t is Of solid gold, weighs
seventeen ounces Toy, aud is designed to be
worn on-the forefnger ofthe right hand 1t is
massive, aud large enough to require pretty
long and broad hand to grasp it, We have no
doubt Mr., Duncan will have to chain his
hand to his shoulder, in order to support his
finger ring. 1t is elaborately carved; one side
representing chicken cock using up poor
devil of acoon-thereby indicating the demo-
cratic iendeilcles OF the owner the other side
exhibits aspread easle-American, of course;
whilst on the broad facette is a small but ac
curate figure of the wearer, dressed in his best

rays Of bright sun. The ring is big ring

OeANGE WINE.-Wc have been told by re-
liable authority Off beverage of delicious tasta
that may righlfully assume the above title.
1t is made OF the juice of the wild or sour
orange, and has been pronounced by "good
Judges TO be worthy the gourmets patronage.
The wild or bitter orange is first deprived of its
Juice by sronn pressure on large quantities Of
the irnIt; the juice is put into barrels, closed
up, and allowed TO foment for few months
By this process it loses its bitter taste and be-
comes clear and limpd 1t is then bottled,
wine glass full Of old cognae being poured into
each bottle together with small quantity of
sugar. The liquid thus formed is not a cordial
or I'4neur, but appertains specially to the class
of wines.
The bitter orange abounds in almost every
plantation in the State. 1t has hitherto been
regarded as an almost useless product, except
now and then, when necessity compelled it, to
replace the lemon. 1t was but an Indifferent
substitute however. A new field of industry
and profit is now opened to our planters
Doubtless orange wine will become popular
beverage. Our old friend, Col. Maunsel White,
we are informed, has the merit of the nven.

MOVING MoUNrAlN-The Bible tells US

which was, before the movement, an hours
walk from the last named mountain, is now
scarcely eighty PAGES from it, having been re-

movement lasted from the afternoon of the

Discoveries of the last Half a Gen.
tuTVs

| There has been no period since the COM
mencement of the world in which so many i'm
portan' discoveries tending to benefit mankind
were made, in the last half century. Some
Of the most wonderful results Of human intel
| lcct have been ltncssed in the last fifty wears
| Some OF the grandest conce ptiols of genius
have been perfected IL is remarkable how the
mind of the world has run into scientific in
, yeStieation, and what achievements it has eff
fected in that short period Before The wear
1900, there was not single steamboat in ex-
jStence, and the application of steam to ma-
chnery was unknown. Fulton launched the
first steamboat in 1907. Now there are three
thousand steamboats, traversing the waters of
America and the time saved in travel is equal
to seventy per cent. The rivers of every coun-
try in the world nearly, are traversed by steam
Doas. In 1900, there was not single rail-
road in the world. In the United States alone
are now o,7O7 miles of railroad, costing $3.50
100000 to build, and about $4,000 miles of
road in England and America. The locomo-
tive will now travel in as many hours IA dis
tance, which, in 1900, required as many days
to accomplish. In 1908 it took weeks to con-
vev intelligence between New Orleans and
Philadelphia, and now it can be- accomplished
in minutes through electric telegraph, which
only had its beginning in lS43. Voltaism was
discovered in March 1900. The electric mag
net in 1921. Electrifyng was discovered on
y few years ago. Hoes printing press, ca
pable Of printing 10000 copies an hour, is a
very recent discovery, Of most important
character.
Gas light was unknown in l8OO-now every
city and town Of any pretence is lighted with
it, and we have the announcement Of still
greater discovery, by which light, heat and
motive power may all be produced from wa
ter ard with hardly any cost. Daguerre CON-
municated to the world his beautiful invention
in 1889. aGun cotton and choroform are dis |
,overies of but a few years old. Astronomy
has added number of new planets to the So
ar system. Agricultural chemistry has en-
arged the domain of knowledge in that i'm
,ortant branch, of scientific research, and me-
,hanics have increased the facilities for. pro- |
luction, and the means of accomplishing an
amount of labor which far transcends the abb |
ity of united mental effort to accomplish!
The triumphs achieved in this last branch of |
discovery and invention are enough to mark
he last half century as that which has most
contributed to augment personal comforts, en-
arge the enjoyments, and add to the blessings
# man. What will the next half century ac-
omplish? We.may look for still greater dis
overies, for the intellect of man is awake, ex-
loring every mine of knowledge, and search
og for useful information in every department
f art and industry.

EMIGRATION FROM IRELAsp.-A letter from
a gentleman residing near Cashel, in the County
OF T'pperary, is quoted by British paper to
show the rage for emigration amongst the ru-
raj population, and the difficulty of letting
farms in that part ofthe country, even at great
iy reduced rents. "There SEEMS" he says,
sto be only one feeling and object in the
minds of servants, laborers and small farmers,
namely, to collect as much money as ,oiH bring
them and their families to America, and to quit
Ireland as soon as possible Many landlords,
heretofore engaged in the clearance system,
would willingly let farms now at one-half the
rent for the non-payment Of which they had
turned out their former tenants; but they can
not get persons to take them. God only knows
where the present outrush from the country
will end, or what it may lead to-"
