INTERESTING TO BUILDERS AND BRICK
MAKERs.-A new and important method in
the manufacture OF bricks has just been pa
tented at Washington, which is destined to
effect an important reduction in the cost of
erecting buildings in which this material is
used, and nowadays there is no building
where brick does not form component part.
By this new method introduced by Baron de
Palm, to whom the patent has been granted,
houses can be built of sound solid brick
walls, at price we are informed not exceed
ing that of an ordinary frail wooden tene-
ment This fact, when considered i'll rela-
ton to the ordinary high rents now paid, and
occasioned in great measure by the prices of
building materials, is a consideration of no
ordinary magnitude. When the kilns or fur
naces are put in operation for the manufac-
ture of bricks under this new process, 1t will
doubtless attract the attention of practical
men, and effect a great change in the cost of
buildings of every description. The peculi-
arity in the making Of bricks under this pa
tent consists in the construction of the kiln.
The arrangement is novel, consisting of par
titions and sub divisions in the kiln, where
| the baking is carried on, and by series of
| registers the heat is conveyed from one COM
| partment to another without any waste.
| There is little or no loss of unbaked or over
burnt or virifed bricks, and a surprising
| saving Of fuel. The cost of fuel and of the
waste of material and labor under the old
system more than doubles, or probably more
| than quadruples the costs of bricks when
pronounced ready for market in the old kiln.
The fuel question now engrosses largely pub
lie attention, and vast quantities of pine,
hickory, and other woods now consumed in
the burning of bricks, will under this patented
mode be economical to the extent of two
thirds of the present consumption. 1t, there
FORE is subject of interest and Importance
both as to public and private economy. Be-
sides the making of bricks, the kilns can be
used for the baking and hardening of all
kinds Of pottery, and will cheaper in large
degree manufactures of that description. The
patentee, we are told, has secured his patent
rights in England, France, Belgium, Holland
and Germany, besides the United States.
Several eminent architects in London and
Paris have testified to the importance and
value of the patent, and several well known
brickmakers at Washington have given highly
favorable certificates of the usefulness of the
new kiln. Among those who have examined
the patent with the view to test its scientific
results, is Professor Charles I. jackson, of
Boston, who says,-s'I am of opinion that
this new kiln is a vGlatable improvement adap-
ted to the thorough and efficient baking of
ornamental bricks, and chain pipes, such as
cannot be baked in ordinary open kilns. -

Upon Atlantic wave,
Columbus. wise and brave,
Saw night-clouds fleck the sky;
Hope and the sea were dark,
Restless his men and bark;
When, from the shrouds cry:
One little word was echoed by his band;
Heavens word to the poor mariner, Landy
The mornings light unfurled
A new, glorious world
World of that prophets dreaml
Fruits, at the very shore;
Flowers where the eagles soar;
Bright wings in sunlight CLEAN:
He saw how all was good, for man was free;
The very mocking-bird cried " Li6erty'"
More lovely now the land:
See! Labor's honest hand
Hath scattered seed afar;
And raised the fruit and corn,
Cities where arts are born,
And dread steam's fiery car
While human joys, with all good things, in

having been in prison some time, was ad-.
mitted to bail, and went homo TO his

that he was in, their midst determined to.
lynch him, and accordingly repaired to his
house With that intention. He stationed
himself at the head of the steps with

the outside and set FIRE to the house. He
discharged load of buckshot into the
crowd, from the effects of which another
died in the morning. A posse Of police
coming up, he surrendered under the
promise Of protection, and was conveyed
to Justices Office, the crowd momentarily
increasing. Before the Justices trial
could be concluded he was wrested from
the hands Of the officers and hung.

THE MAMMOTH CAvE.-That the Nam
moth Cave is an antiquity of the world
before the flood-a city of giants which
an earthquake swallowed, and which a
chance roof Of rocks has protected from
being eAaced by the deluge, and by the
wear of the elements for subsequent ages,
is one of the fancics which its strange
phenomena force upon the mind. All is
SO architectural. 1t is not vast under
gound cavity, raw and dirty, but sue
cessionofhalls,d ,domes and corridors, streets,
avenues and arches-all underground, but
all telling of the design and proportion Of
majestic primeval metropolis. 1t is not
cave, but city in ruins-a city from
which sun, moon, and stars have been
taken away-whose day of Judgment has
come and passed, and over which new
world has been created and grown old
By what admirable laws of unknown ar
chitecture those mammoth roofs and
ceilings are upheld, is every travellers won
dering question. In some shape or other,
| heard each of my companions express
this. No modern builder could throw up
such high vaulted arches, and so unac-
countably sustain them. And all else is
in keeping. The cornices and columns,
aisles and galleries, are gigantically pro-
portionate, and as mysteriously upheld
Streets after streets-miles after miles
seem to have been left only half in ruins;
and here and there is an effect as if the
Easements aud lower stores were incum-
bered with fragments and rubbish,
leaving you to walk on level with
the capitals and floors once high above
the pavement. 1t might be described as a
mammoth Herculaneum, FIRST sepulchred
with over-topping mountains, but swept
and choked afterwards by the waters Of
the deluge, that found their way to its dark
streets in their subsiding. What scenery
and machinery this will be for the poets
of the West, by and by. Their Parnassus

The Pawnbroker's Shop.

The history of the pawnbroker's signs
must be curious one, though we confess
that we have not examined into it. The
fragment of broken orrery, the three
balls, seem the emblem of something wrong
in the planetary systena-of course they
didn't plan ii right. or sseh things would
never be-.
Did you ever enter one of those dim be-
curtained places, pawnbroker's shop?
We don't mean as nephew, to claim re-
lationship, but merely as ca locker on in
Vienna Did the healer of humble sor-
rows happen to be friend, and did he
permit you to look through the lattice of
his shadowy confessional upon those that
presented themselves at his counters2
And when they came in, one after an
other, now mere child, and now a totter-
ing old woman; sometimes well-dressed
young man, apparently with health and
habits at par, and sometimes miserable
old votary of vice in vices livery, didn't
you begin to think there was few chap
ters of the history Of humanity yet un-
written?
Thousands of little bundles, all ticketed
and numbered and booked, neatly packed
upon shelves that run away back into
darkness; bundles, not one half of which
will ever be reclaimed. What stories are
connected with some of them, that nobody
but heaven and the pawnbroker knows
Wedding dresses are there, that have been
kept, year after year, as souvenirs OF
better time, till they could be kept no
longer. Little did the blushing girl think
when arrayed upon that bridal morn, that
the dress she wore would ever rejoice in
such companionshfp. And who knows
but there are shrouds there? "Shroutls?"
asks the pawnbroker, as you thought out
aloud, +" may be you don't think so, but
there is shround, little shroud, in that
snug little bundle / touch with nay stick,
this minute l loaned fifty cents'on it, q
long time ago."
And here in the safe wedding rings
and mourning rings, seals with loves de-
vices on them, watches that are dead as
the hopes of those who once wore them;
rings that once encircled lily fingers;
watches that once beat in naughty bosoms.
Many woman makes pawnbroker's
shop of the human heart.
But there are pawnbroker shops, not
indicated by the three balls. Many a
human heart is pawnbroker's shop. filled
with lamentable mementoes of better,
brighter days-hearts, where may be found
the wrecks of happiness and hope pawned
to supply the imperious present, whose
pledges are never redeemed but revert to
the melancholy and remorseless past.
But exactly in the midst of our reverie,
here comes man with an old copy of
Homer, and how much can you allow
for itv' Think of that! :" Fhe blind old man
of Scios rocky isle" pawned for couple
of paltry quarters. Isn't sentiment hope
