THE PAY OF L4BoRERs IN THE EN-
PLOYMENr OF GOVERNMENT.

MESsRs. EDrroRs: / have lately seen
in your ever-welcome paper, several cal
'culations OF the indaquency of the paw
of Government employees, and whilst /
admire the sympathy you so Justly ex-
press in. their BEHALF i think you could
manifest portion OF that sympathy, in
an equally Just cause. by advocating the
Icla:yns ofIaborers. The corporate autho-
rites have investigated their claims, and
have allowed them fifty per cent upon
their pay, andyet the Great Republic; after
three years repeated solicitation, have not
meted out full justice but by a parsimony
that may be called neanness, have turned
a deaf ear to all our solicitations.
You arc aware that we only receive 81
per day for our labor; and from bad
weather, and other unavoidable circum-
stances, we cannot work more tfan 275
days in year. Now, ifa man and wife
and three children are to be supported on
this, il only allows - sixteen cents and
one three-fifths mills" for each individ-
ual per day, tor food. clothing, rent, fuel
and contingencies. The members of Con-
gross, for whose eye this especially is in
tended, may form correct idea Of the
meanness of our living, when l tell them
that by all the skill and management of
army and navy officers, aided by the con-
tract system, they are unable to reduce
soldiers ration 10 less than Twenty
cents" for each individual. And when
they conclude to practice the precept, that
1.-The laborer is worthy of his hire" let
them extend their kberality IN the labor
ers of the NAVY YARD.

! MRS. M0WATT.

Mrs. Mowatt was born in Bordeaux, dur
inga temporary residence of her parent in
that city. Her earliest recollections date
from a charming country residence IN the
vicinity of Bordeaux, where she remain,
ed for the greater part Of the time until
her seventh year. The family then EN-.
barked for New York, but the vessel was
wrecked on the passage, and after endur
ing great perils they at length arrived in
another ship. During her school days,
the precocious child exhibited uncommon
vivacity of intellect, with decided turn
for poetry. Her passion for reading led
her to devour every book ON which she
could lay her hands. Before she was ten
years old she had read the whole of
Shakspeare's plays many times over, be-
sides very promiscuous course of gen
eral literature, both in French and En-
glish. She was not yet in her. teens be-
fore she set up as poetess, while her
success in private theatricals won the
applause Of large social circle. 1 su

MASON AND DIXON ) LINE,

" What is meant by Mason's and Dix.
on's line 3" asked bright, blue eyed
girl of twelve years Of age, when sitting
az her father s table a few days ago.
The answer was, - it is a phrase usually
employed to describe the boundary be-
tween the free and slave States" But
why do they describe it in that way ?''
was her inquiry. The answer NAV be
worth giving to some of our readers. I'm
the seventeenth century, James II. of
England, then the Duke of York, gave
certain lands to Lord Baltimore and to
William Penn. anda difficulty soon sprang
up as to the proper owner of these lands
on The Delaware. Again and again was
the affair carried into the Courts. till in
the year l760 when George the iii came
to the crown, the Lord Chancellor of
England made decision but new diff
culties sprung up in drawing the boun-
dairy lines. The Commissioners finally
employed Messrs. Mason and Dixon, who
had just returned from the Cane of Good
Hope, where they had been to observe
the transit Of Venus. They succeeded in
establishing the line between Delaware
and Maryland, which has ever since been
called Mason and Dixon's line. %

PRESERVING FRUITS AND MEATS.

\ correspondent solicits a receipt fce
preserving fruits, meats. and vegetables,
by the exclusion of air from them.
There is more than one method of pre-
serving such substances. The patented
plan OF Gail Borden, Jr., for combining
the extract of flesh meat with some -four,
IN biscuit, cannot be surpassed for
various purposes. Anothea plan is to
heat meats contained in tin canisters, in
a Kettle containing a solution of the chlor-
ide OF calcium. The meat is put up in
each canister, and all>soldered tight, ex-
ceptlng very small hole on the top.
When the solution is heated up to 2l2
deg, the water which is combined with
the meat begins to pass off out of the
small orIfice in state Of steam. When
this is continued for short time (about
live mlnutes) a person who stands ready
with soldering iron and cloth, catches
a canister, passes the cloth over the
or1tice, drops piece Of melted solder ON
the the hole, and applies piece of ice at
the same time TO lower the temperature
OF the vessel. This is the mode of herme-
tcally sealing meat canisters.'
hS NiilOliuS Oi talCluul Goes not bOIf
until it attains to 300 deg, while water
boils at 2l3 deg, so that while the steam
is passing off from the meats, the calcium
solution is still 90 deg. below the boiling
point.
Fruits are preserved by charging bot
ties containing them with carbonic acid
gas, to expel all the air, then scaling
them up with air-tight covers. By
simply boiling in water, fruits and meats
contained in glass vessels, for about
twenty minutes, then corking them up
tight while the steam is passing off-cov-
ering the cork with luting of pitch or
wax, and then cooling the vessels quickly
below the boiling point, meats and fruits
SO treated, are said to keep well for
year. The vessels should be made of an
nealed glass, otherwise they are liable to
break during the operation.

quainted with Mr.. Mowatt, at that time
"a young barrister of education and fol.
tune, =" who had taken fancy to one Of
her married sisters, whom he met at Q
watering place, supposing her 70 be a
young widew. He did not discover hs
unlucky. blunder until he began to ex-
press his admiration openly. When in
formed that he was addressing married
woman he took the disappointment so
much 10 heart that she undertook 10 con-
sole his chagrin by inviting him to visit
the family, promising TO introduce him
to plenty Of young sisters, one of whom
was much like herself Mr.. Mowatt lost
no time in accepting the invitation. He
fell love with Anna at first sight. From
that momens he determined to educate
her according to his owl" ideas. and as
soon as she had attained a manageable
age to make her his child-wife. He would
follow on her way to Madame Chegarv,s
school, of which she was pupil, carry.
ing her books and slate; he questioned
her about her studies, directed her read
ing, kept her supplied with an endless
psofuSion of flowers, while she, finding
it grand to have such devoted lover,
played the juvenile tyranneSs to her
hearts content. Before she was fifteen
he made the offer of his heart and hand.
The little damsel was frightened at the
proposal, and in her distress made a con-
fidant of her eldest sister. After coquet.
ing for some time with her eccentric
lover and positively refusing his al
dresses, her reluctance was at length
overcome, and she consented to clan
destine marriage. This was celebrated
just after she was turned Of fifteen, in the
most melodramatic Sty lie. Soon after the
honey moon the enthusiastic couple re.
tired to a delightful residence on Long
Island. where they passed a strange,
idjllic life, which is minutely described
by her in her autobiography recently
published.-New York Tribune.

CEMENT FOR BELTING.-C. Phelps Of
Salem, Mass. informs us that he had in
constant use for eight years, six inch
belt, which is jomted with Russian ISM
glass as substitute fur ri,ets. The
isinglass for this purpose is applied in the
pieces of wood together. The end of
the belt to be thus cemcnted, should be
scarfed for about six inches lengthwise,
then strong solution of isinglass applied,
and the surfaces SO treated, brought to-
gether and held fast by joiner's screws
until they are perfectly dry. s.It might
be well, !" says Mr.. Phelps, Ito put row
of small tacks along the edge of the
scraf and clinch them firmly" We
would state, although we have never used
isinglass for cementing betting, we have
oftentimes used it for cementing leather,
for various purposes, and have found it
to answer well.-,Sc,entifc American.
