STEAM MELoDIEs.-It has been stated that
some inventor in W orcester has succeeded in
turning the unearthly screech Of the steam
whistle into harmonious music The new in
vention was attached to one Of the locomotives
On the Worcester and Nashua Railroad, On
Thursday, and the Worcester Transcript,
whose editor was one of the party that " faced
the music" thus speaks Of the sensation ere
ated as the engine left w orcester to the tune
of "0ld Dan Tucker"
{" The effect was magical, nay wonderful,
exciting and amusing. Men left their work
shops, and rushed for the railway; with them
came women with babies and without, chill
dren iEnumerabfe, and swarming like ants
when their ant hill is trodden on, all agape
and agrin with wonder and delight; every
thing animate was on the qNi UiUe. The
horses danced pirouettes 10 the music the
very pigs relaxed the tension of their tnrtuous
tails, and stupid calves, that ne er had heard
Of melody, in dumb amazement snufed the
music laden air, and stood agape, their pend
ant tails outstanding straight behind. Twas
marvellous, and we should not have been sur
prised if all the bending woods, charmed by
the orphic strains, had walked down the
shaded hills, and made obeissnce to the Cal
liope, even as, to the terror of Macbeth, the
lofty 'Birnam wood came down to Dunsi-
name"

WHAT UNITARIASs BELIEVE The Chris
tian Register, the New England organ Of Uni.
tarianism, says that, as opposed to Orthodoxy,
Unitarians maintain that human beings do
not inherit from Adam a ruined nature; that
there is no transfer Of his guilt made to us,
iDficting on US a moral inability; that our
relation to God has not been prejudiced by
Adams fall that life is not foregone con-
clusion with any one of us when il begins
that we have not been condemned as a race,
but shall be judged as individuals; that,
whatever be the rank of Jesus Christ in the
scale of human being. whatever be his ma
ture, he is not presented to US in the Scrip
ture as the Supreme God, as fractional part
Of the Godhead, therefore he is not the source,
but the channel, of Divine grace-he is not
the object nor the homage Of our prayers, nor
the ultimate object Of our dependence and
trust, but fulflls his highest work for Us when
he leads us on to the Father; that the Scrip
ture's do not lay the emphatic stress Of
Christ's redeeming work upon his death above
or apart from his life, character and doctrine;
and that his death, as an element in his re-
deeming work, is made effective for human
salvation through the influence Of the heart
and the life Of man, not through Its vicarious
value with God, nor through its removal Of
an abstract difficulty in the divine govern
ment, which hinders the forgiveness Of the
penitent without further satisfaction.

II At hotel, the other evening, young
and fully mustached dandy from Squsnkum,
New Jersey, was seated at the tea table at
rather a late hour, when a bar keeper came
in and took seat opposite The dandy drop
ped his knife and fork. tipped back in his
chair, aud gszed at the bar-keeper, and said !:
"Fellah, does the servants sup with gen.
tleman in this house ?"
"No, sir" was the reply.
"Are You not the bar-keeper

"Well, bar-keeper is help as much as q

True" replied the man of the tOddy stick,
"but 1 did not enter the hall until L looked
in aud saw there was no gentleman at the ta-
ble-ahem. Here the conversation ended
Poor Jersey grinned ghsstly smile, and wax
ished behind his shirt collar.

HAVE You ANY NAILS "A tall, gawky-look-
ing countrymRn, during the height of the
business season last fall, walked into one of
our largest fancy dry goods establishments,
on the cod fish side of Chestnut street, and en-
tirely disregarding the invitations Of the nu.
merOus moustached statesmen to inspect their
late patterns, he strobe into the counting. room,
where the heads of the establishment were
sitting in solemn cOnclave. After taking a
cursOry Of the room, and surveying atten.
lively the faces of its occupants, he asked with
an unctious Yankee nasal twaDg:
"Say, you, got any nails ?''
"Nails, sir nails !" repeated the most dig
nified Dombey of the lot, " No, sir, what should
we do with nails ?"
"Wall, L Idunno-thought maybe you mout
Then yer hain't got no nails, eh ?'
"No, sir" replied DOmbey again, with an
emphasis, and pointed 20 the door
The individual in search of nails took his
time about it, and left the counting room. In
turn he asked every clerk the same question,
and received the Information from all, that
"nails' formed no part of the stock of the
establishment
"Well," said he, going towards the door,
don't keep nails here nohow."
The principal salesman, whose dignity was
hurt by tho idea that any one should suppose
that an establishment where he held prom
inent place, should keep nails, headed the
countryman off as he was proceeding toward
the entrance, and asked him abruptly what
he wanted there
"Want," said the countryman, as cool as a
cucumber, 81 want to know if you've got any
nails"
"Nails, no, sir! You've been told again
and again that we've got no nails-so you had
better go.'
"Yes-but you really amt got no nails ?"
"No, sir, I've got no nails, J" thundered the
principal salesman. rs.., .- --.-
" Amt got no nails, eh ? Well, then, jes,
look a'here, Mister, if you haint got no nails
what an awful fix you'd been in, If you'd
happen to have the itch =" ID -.

ART AND SCIENcE.-The Galvanic Light
Company, recently organized in England,
claims that tho magnetic electrical light pro-
duced by machinery, of which they are inven-
tors and patentees, is the most perfect illumi-
mating agent hitherto known. They have
sent out one Of their machines to this country
and it is now being put up for trial in New
York. The light owes its origin to a magnetic
current caused by the rapid revolution Of a
species of fy-wheel, on which are fixed a
series of magnets in close juxtaposition to an
other series that remains stationary; the wheel
In the present instance, revolves some four
thousand times minute, and is driven by an
eight-horse power steam engine. 1t Is COM
templated to fit out the new steamer Adriatic
as complete floating lighthouse, emitting q
light which will not only be seen by other ves-
sells at whatever distance, but which will IL
illuminate the ships track several miles ahead
and render an approaching vessel, an iceberg,
or any other obstruction, almost as visible as
at monday
By the new mode of plaster modelling for
sculpture, by Mr.. Powers, the principal tools
to be used consist Of chisels, scrapers, and
trowels-the blades of which are of gutta
that the plaster can be put on with them
somewhat as with brush and perforated or
open fles-every tooth having an opening in
front of it, through the body Of the instru-
ment, so as to allow the dust and filings to
pass through and escape, leaving the teeth
unclogged and free to act The material used
is common plaster Of Paris. In projecting a
human figure, a pair of irons reaching nearly
as high as the hips, and corresponding in
general direction to the bones Of the legs must
be set up on platform, and around these a
base must be formed to hold them firmly, by
pouring sufficient quantity of mixed plaster
to produce it. With these for a nucleus, the
bricks and mortar. The bricks are made by
pouring quantity of plaster on a piece Of
oil-cloth, and as it begins to harden, scoring
it deeply with knife or chisel, so that when
quite hard it may esily broken into fragments
of desirable size. The whole process is one
of great ingenuity, and reflects much credit
on the mechanical and artistic skill of Mr..
Powers.
