WHAT IS Dirt 9-Old DR.. Cooper OF
South Carolina used to say to his students
Don't be afraid of a little dirt, gentle
men.
What is dirt? Why, nothing at all often
sive, when chemically viewed. Rub little
alkali upon that dirty grease spot upon
your coat, and il undergoes a chemical
change and becomes soap. Now rub it with
a little water and it disappears it is neith-
Ter grease, soap, water nor dirt. THAT is
not very odorous pile of dirt you observe
there. Well, scatter little gympsum over
it, and and It's no longer dirty. Everything
you call dirt is worth your notice as students
of chemistry. Analyze it. 1t will separate
into very clean elements.
Dirt makes corn; corn makes bread and
meat, and that makes very sweet young
lady that saw one of YOU were kissing last
night. So, after ALL you were Kissing dirt
pa .ticularly if she whiened her skin with
chalk or Fuler's earth. There is no telling,
ge ntlemen, what is dirt. Though may say
ru bling such stuff upon the beautiful skin
of young lady is dirty practice. :" Pearl
powder, think, is made of bismuh-noth-
ing but dirt"

The nations of Europe have seen nothing

The nations of Europe have seen nothing
like the present vast and energetic prepara-
tions for war since the days of the first Ma
poleon. The singular spectacle of the ar
mics and fleets of England and France, side
by side. and in the closest amity, preparing
to meet the gigantic power of Russia, adds
interest to the scene. A late arrival brings
the following among other items of interest :
There were rumors that the British fleet of
forty sail, under Vice Admiral Sir Charles
Napier, on its assembling at Spithead, would
be joined by the French fleet of ten sail of
the line, fifteen frigates (of which five are
steamers,) and fifteen corvettes, Gall steam
ers y and that the allied fleets, thus number
ing eighty sail of the most magnificent ships
in the world, would be reviewed prior to
their departure for the Baltic by the Queen
and Prince Albert; and that the Emperor
Napoleon would cross from Cherbourg in
his imperial steam yacht Refine Hortense, to
be present at the spectacle.
The appointment of Sir Charles Napier had
been received with the greatest satisfaction.

SPLENDID MULE.-We saw on Monday
last the finest mule that was perhaps ever
exhibited in our city. 1t was bred by B. B.
Groome, Esq, of Clarke, was sired by the
celebrated jack Black Sampson, is only
eleven months old, and is full sixteen hands
high. Its dam is only fifteen hands two
inches high We doubt whether a finer
animal of this species was ever foaled.--

The N. Y. Express cautions purchasers to
weigh the barrels of -four that they may pur-
chase, for while the price rules so high there
is strong temptation to commit fraud. III
some cases, the weight has been found to fall
some 20 pounds below the standard. Just
now, when prices are so extravagantly high,
this is consideration not to be overlooked.

HObbs's Lock Picked.

Hobbs's Lock Picked.
There can be no doubt of the fact that
g Day & Newel's American Lock-" under
the care of Mr.. Hobbs, now in London, has
been successfully picked by Mr.. Goater, fore
man of Chubb's establishment A long cor
respondence has in consequence taken place
between Mr.. Hobbs and the successful pick
er of his lock. The London Mechanics Mag
azine is very severe upon our countryman,
for endeavoring to bring English locks and
lockmakers into disrepute. It accuses him
of asserting in one lecture that his lock could
not be picked, and again (after he heard it
had been picked) making the statement that
itcould be picked. 1t therefore eudeavors
to fasten the charge of tergiversation upon
him. The following is Mr.. Goater's reply to
Mr.. Hobbs it presents the English side of
the question:
"The question is, did or did not fairly
pick, last week, four of Hobbs's new Ameri-
can locks, each lock when sold by MI. Hobbs
being accompanied by his printed guarantee
that it was secure against pickingY
can objection is taken by Mr.. Hobbs,
that have only operated on one sized lock,
and that small one. To this | reply, the
size or shape of the lock makes no difference
to me, except that the larger the lock, the
easier it is picked, and it can be opened as
easily, fixed as unfxed.
"Mr. Hobbs says he had some locks at the
second meeting, with Improvements in them
to battle my operations. After he had ex-
planned these, l told him plainly before all
the civil engineers present, that they would
not stop me, and could pick them as read
lily as had done the others.
'' In conclusion, Mr.. Hobbs really has no
right to complain of this exposure; he began
the war against the English locksmiths in
1851"
There is no necessity for any controversy
on the subject The simple question is, ''has
the Hobbs lock been picked?" If it has,
and that fairly, it settles the whole matter
There does not seem to be any doubt of the
fact, and this shows us that the unpickablc
lock has yet to be invented Scientific Am.
BIC TREEs.-There is an apple tree in
Litchfeld, Conn.,, owned by Solomon Marsh,
which measures fourteen feet around the
trunk, is l30 years old, and produced last
season, twenty bushels of apples, of deli
cious quality Previous to 1885, it had
yielded near 100 bushels per annum for
ages. The tree was brought from Hartford
by some of the early settlers of Litchield.
Henry Ward Beecher tells of a pear tree in
Illinois, about ten miles from Vincennes,
Ind, that bore l84 bushels of pears in 1884,
and 140 bushels in 1910 of large sized pears.
One foot above the ground it girths ten feet,
aud nine feet above, six and half feet and
its branches spread over space sixty nine

these misguided men: Be not deceived-you
are sowing the wind, and you will reap the
whirlwind.
5. Resolved, That we approve fully of
the conduct of our Senators in Congress, in
opposing the passage of the bill referred to-
through the Senate of the United States,
and we look for a unanimous vote against
it, on the part of our Representatives.
6. Resolved, That the Government Of the
United States is free Government, not a
slaveholding Government-that the Consti
tuition of the United States was framed for
the purpose of securing the blessings of lib
erty, not 10 extend the curse of slavery-that
under it, liberty is the rule, slavery the ex-
ception-that liberty is national, slavery is
sectional-and that we recommend to the
people of Ohio, Of all parties, to be faithful
to the principles of this resolution, at all
times, under all circumstances, at all haz-
ards.
7. Resolved, That copies of these resolu-
tions be sent to the President of the United
States, and to our Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress; and also to the newspa-
pers of the city of Columbus, for publication
THE KIssANE TRrAL.-Some idea of the
state of feeling at Helena may be formed by
the following incident in the trial: While
Mr. Palmer, who is the leading attorney for
the prosecution, was making some remarks
Kissane smiled at him. Mr.. Palmer turned
to him and said, "a man that has been
guilty of what you have been, would smile
with the haltar around his neck-but you
are not in Ohio now--you are in Arkansas
in Phillips county, and we are going to try
you here, and we are going to hang you here.
/ You may laugh at this, but you will not
laugh when the Devil gets you in He'll. =
Kissane at this became CHASTITY pale, and did
not smile again during the speech. Cole
tried to laugh at the matter but Palmer
turned and used some personal remarks, TO
him, not so severe as to kissane, but severe
enough to check his merriment. Something
of the state of public feeling here may be
inferred from the fact that this remark, saw
age as it may seem to us, was received with
marked satisfaction by the audience. -
