Communicated.
DistinRuished For eigners.

It has been said that Of all the asinine displays
which the Americans have exhibited in relation
to foreigners, the late reception of a notorious
however, be mistake for, instead Of its being
matter Of ears, as the word asiniae would i'm
port it is wholly matter of eyes-at least it
may be so inferred from the fact that higher
price is charged for the orchestra seats than for
any other. But it seems to US that our people
are unjustly abused by portion of the press for
their liberality towards distinguished foreigners.
1t is gratifying however to perceive that, in
other quarters, correct ideas of propriety are be-
ginning to supersede antiquated notions unsuited
to the present progressive age. Certain papers,
for instance, when it was first announced that
this danseuse was coming to the United States,
limited very broadly that she had better stay at
home and that her reception here would be any
thing but agreeable to herself; but now that
her reception is everything that is agreeable to
herself, those papers are silent thereby acknowl-
edging their error But the danseuse is not nd
mired for her pirouettes or her saltatory accom-
plishments. She probably cuts the pigeon-wing
wonderfully Wei, put SHe cut " HbuTe III LuTope
which is, no doubt, liked still better.
Another instance of correct taste is afforded
by the presentation to her, a short time since, Of
a likeness of Washington. How appropriate \!
The association, how natural!!! Washington and
49, --! Both conquerors of kings-the one
by his arms, the other by her charms. That
presentation was happy idea, and the individual
who conceived it almost deserves visit from the
spirit of Washington to thank him for the honor.
The First Book Published In America.
writer in a late number of the metropolitan"
states that it is recently discovered fact, that
the first book published in America, was printed
in the city of Mexico. 1t is, he says, a quarto
of twelve leaves, and printed in Spanish; and
treats of the manners and customs and religion
of the Mexicans, prior to the conquest of that
country by Cortez. 1t bears the imprint :" Mex
leo. En- casa de Juan Cromberger, 1874" It
was supposed previous to the last year, that the
{" Doctra Christana" published by the same per-
son in the same year, was the first; but the
words que sancta gloria aga, after the imprint,
give rise to- the supposition that the former was
printed during the lifetime of Cromberger, and
the latter Immediately after his death. Both OF
these interesting relics the only ones in exist
ence, were in the possession Of Count Mondidier,
in Germany, and were sold at auction in London
on the 10Th of December last.

Access to the Smithsonian lnstitution'
1t is becoming matter of increasing astonish-
ment. as well as of deep modification and regret,
to the hundreds Of our citizens and others who
delight to avail themselves of the opportunities
which we now enjoy Of attending the lectures
delivered, from time to time, at the Smithsonian
Institution, that the approaches to the building
have not up to the present time, been rendered
more convenient and safe. That from the east
ern side, whenever the ground is moist enough
to admit of it's being worked into mud, is nearly
impossible even by men, but for ladies it is in
tolerably bad whilst that from the western side
is even worse, being positively. dangerous. The
walk along the northern side of the building con-
sists Of single loose panks, in some places thrown
across bitches of unknown depth, and NOT gli'n-
mer ofigh along the whole side of the building
In approaching the building on Monday night, q
friend Of ours was fortunate enough to reach the
lecture-room without fall but in leaving it he
was not so fortunate, and both he and the lady
with him "fell into the ditch" Nor were they
alone in their ill luck, as the gentleman who was
kind enough to help them "out of the gutter
remarked that the lady with him fell into it as
they approached the building.
Can there be lack of funds with which better
and safer approaches might be constructed
where so many hundreds of ladies and gentlemen
have SO frequently to walk at night We pre-
sumo this isnot the case; but if we are mistaken
we would suggest the propriety Of o subscription
among the gentlemen who attend the lectures
that we may have safe and good walks

DEMOCRACY OF SCIENCE.-No. s.
BY JOSIAH HOLBRoOK.

Reading, hearing seeing, handling, and ma
king are five modes of instruction. All are
good and each better when aided by the rest
For young minds and hands, making has the
strongest affinity 1t is both productive and
instructive, and hence attractive while bla,
BILE, bio, reading is neither, and is hence repul-
sive. Ky strong elective affinity, the one Ger
tainly draws children to school by inherent

from school. The one changes truants into
the most punctual scholars; the other changes
the most active spirits into truants.
single specimen of making instruction will
illustrate thousands of others. The Cube. Every
boy and girl upon the face of the globe would
be happy in making a cube. 1t would draw
any pupil from the street to the school-room
for the simple reason that it gives productive
employment in getting practical knowledge
OF one OF the most fundamental and tar-reach-
ing principles in the whole range of science.
Reading about n cube, by beginner, is repul-
sive, giving neither production nor instruction.
1t hence tends to drive a pupil from the school
room to the street. especially if sprghtly and
active.
Making cube not only shows practically a
great principle, but gives manual skill-the
science and practice of MECHANISM. No ex-
ercise can perhaps unite in one act more of in
struction and production or lay broader and
stronger foundation, not for house burning but
house building. No principles so deep, no in
strument in so constant use by the builder, as
the cube.
The form, divisions, combinations, ratio and
mode of increase and applications-tbe whole
doctrine of the cube, like every simple element
AIRY principle of science, is exactly fitted for
the mind of child God, in his infinite wis
dom and goodness, made 1t so ; man only makes
it otherwise, and he only with sad destruction
of the beautiful works of the Creator.
The first step in making cube is drawing a
square upon slate; far more accurately done
by child six years old, than by man of six
ty or even boy Of sixteen, if not previously
trained. In young hand and a young eye,
are beautiful, indeed wonderful, exactness
and pliability Every parent knows it, day
OF two since, q person, largely experienced in
teaching drawing remarked that children six
