The Cabinet.

A Washington correspondent Of the
New York Commercial Aduertiser
thus writes of the present Cabinet:
Mr.. Stuart is a gentleman worthy
to occupy such station. Bland, So
ciable and communicative, yet digni-
fed, energetic and prudent, he has
well fulfilled the duties of his station.
Like other members of the Cabinet, he
greatly admires the integrity and in
telligence, the purity and patriotism,
of the President who called him to
that office, and who has so demeaied
himself toward his Cabinet as to Sc
sure the steady cooperation ofits mem
bers, augment their individual dignity
and promote their general harmony.
What contrast to the jackson Cabi-
net. There are the massive Webster !;
the active, spirited, searching Corwin /;
the urbane, slender, dignified Conrad /;
the tall, fine-looking, industrious Gra-
ham the bright-eyed dark.bright)
Stuart. serene bencvolence stamped
on his brow; the sober, demure Hall ;
and last, but not least, the patriarchal,
strong-featurcd, gray-haired, short and
ablc-bodied Crittenden, capable of FL
ling any place to which his country
might call him; man, too, of pro-
found feeling, not quickly rushing tc
the surface, but in strong motion with
in.
1t seems a pity that such Cabinet
should have to retire just as they have
become thoroughly acquainted witt
the buiness of the nation. But muta
bilty is stamped on all Governmental
things. The new Secretary of the
Navy will have short career. llC
resembles one of his predecessors
Paulding, in at least two things, in be-
ing a novelist and unfamiliar with tho
business of guiding the Navy. But
he is not the man to carry romance
into the matter-oi-fact details of the
Navy Department. Mr.. Kennedy il
understood to be a man of business
and to have written novels as matter
of amusement, or relaxation lie vii
of course have no opportunity of pre-
siding over naval exploits on the fish
ing grounds, that matter being about
to be easily settled.

A New PoTATo Die6ERs-It is
stated that Mr.. ScHAFFER, of
Brooklyn, has invented a machine which
consists Of a scoop; brush cylinder,
and an endless apron connected by a
moveablc frame, by operating which,
the scoop is made to enter the ground
the required distance, and raise up the
potatoes, when, by cylinder having
a revolving brush, the potatoes are
brought forward from the scoop to the
endless apron, which carries them away
and deposits them in a receptacle at
the back of the frame. The machine
is worked by horses the bottom Of the
scoop, also the bottom Of the recepta-
Gle for the potatoes, is formed of bars
to separate the dirt from the potatoes
the brush removes the dirt, so that they
are rendered very clean.

Child of Morning when the night,
With the dawning's early breaking,
Fades away before the light,
Like dream Mt Sleeps awaking;
Thou appcarcst,
Lake, the clcarest,
Smiling as an infants eye;
And thy bcaming
Hath the seeming
OF an earth-dcsccndcd sky.
Moons fair Daughter thou dust reign,
Radiant in meridian splendor,-
Flinging on thy yotive train
Passion-glanccs, soft and tender;
Thou cnchainest
Heart the vaincst
With n wtchcry all thine own
But the feeling
Love revealing,
Thou, coqucttc-likc, hast not known.
Bride of Sunset! on thy breast
Doth thy lover fondly lingcr,
And, entranccd in biissiul rest,
Smiles at times reproving finger:
Little needing
His swift speeding
Soon will bid the dream he ended.
Now It's over,
And the lover
With the twilight shade is blended

FLAT RooFs.-Thc Scientific Il
meyican says that all the new hous-
es which have been built in New York
recently, have what are termed fiat
roofs that is, the roof is nearly level
and slants but slightly from one side
to the other. The old huge peaked
roofs are fast disappearing. We wonder
how they ever camc into use. The
inventor of them must have been a
man full of comical ideas. The fiat
roofs are covered with tin and well
painted. If a fire takes place in a
building, it is easy to walk and work
on the fiat roof, so as to command the
fire if it be in the adjacent building.
This cannot be done on peaked roofs.
Flat roofs are cheaper and more con-
venient in every respect. We advise
all those who intend to build new hous-
es to have fiat roofs on them. 1t is
far better to have a flush story at the
top of building than a peaked cramp-
ed up garret which is only comfortable
for travelling on the hands and knees.
