Diamond Type Metal.

ave are pleased to record SAYS the Chi.
cago Printers Cabinet, "the discovery of
new and very superior combination Of metal
for casting Letter, which gives far greater
tenacity, extreme hardness and more beauti-
ful finish TO it, than anything heretofore
known in the manufacture of Type.
ave speak from the Book, for We have
specimens Of Type made from the new meta
before US, and have compared it carefully
with the so-called "hard metal mapufactured
by White & Co.. of New York, as also with
metal from many other Foundrics, and find
that it cuts harder, aid will bear more i'm
preston without breaking down the hair
lines, and of course will wear longer and do
more service than softer metal, and as it is
furnished at the same price, is of course MUCH
cheaper for the purchaser"
The Type We furnish from this Foundry
will, after this date, be made from this metal,
and We are authorized by the manu- factnrers
to warraat it equal to any made 10 the
world.
Specimens Of the Type may be seen at our
establishment, or will be sent, on application,
by mail, to any one desirous to tes,ing the
truth of the above.

A curious memoir Of Father Louis Della
Vagina late " Parish Priest of st. Mary's.'
Toronto, has recently been published. In
imitation Of the ancient Ilcrmits, the Padre
" mingled ashes with his food"-sported "but
one extremely coarse and rugged robe"-
denied himself seven tie convenience of hose''
and instead of shoes had upon his feet a
species Of sandal, which was very made
quate protection against the severity of the
weather"
Prophecies, also, were enunciated by the
incumbent of st. Mary's. "a poor man,
lying on his sick bed" says the Fatber's bio
graphcr, Mr.. Charles Donelvy, was rejoiced,
As the good man, who knew nothing about
medicine, told him that his illness was but
temporary, and that he, in few days, would
be numbered among the workmen of the
world-a fact which was verified in less time
than that mentioned Hopes are cherished
by Mr.. Dcnlevy that honest Louis will be
awarded the honors Of canonzation.

Letthe Republican Mcmbers be ON Hand
Early.

1t is pretty well understood about St. Paul
that the Democratic Central Committee have
sent out circulars to their members elect, ur-
ging them ali to be here some three or four
days before the time fixed by law for the
meeting of the convention. 1t is evident
some high-handed outrage upon the rights Of
the peoplcis contemplated, in all probability
the seating in the convention of six men who,
if elected at all, are elected from without the
limits of the new State as defined by the a.
of Congress creating The convention.
1t therefore behoovcs erery member who
makes one of our glorious Republican major
.tv to be also at his post in due time. The
convention, it will be recollected, assemblies
on Monday, the 18th Of July. Let every
Republican make it point 10 reach st. Paul
By Friday, the 10th. at farthest BY this
arrangement We can be fully prepared to
thwart any rsscality which may have been
already, or may hereafter be planned by the
Border Rutfian party.
Werejoice to see that the Winona Repub
iicam has anticipated us in giving the note of
alarm TO the Republican delegates, by ma
king substantially the same recommendation
which We do in this article. We trust tue
other Republican 10 rnals of the Territory
will take notice of this important matter in
due time.

The Crops.

On this subject, the Lake City Tribune
thus pitches into those croakers WHO are
everlastingly prating about short crops, &C.:
Can any OF our readers remember q time
when there were no fears expressed of short
crops, and light crops, and poor crops? We
cannot. From our earliest days of noticing
such topics, we have invariably heard this
same story, and for our part it has much the
same effect upon us as the Hwolf cry had
upon the undeceived hearers thereof. Every
returning spring comes out the old cry,
light crops" 1t comes from that class OF
spectators who seek to make capital and en-
rich themselves out of the food which be-
nignant Providence furnishes to all the world
They buy up the g. staff Of life" and then, t"
make quick sales and large profits, they would
fain deceive the community with that start
ling cry, "shOrt crops" 1t seems surprising
that the world should so long have b en- de-
ceived by this false alarm it is more sur
y.rising that some tffectuai plan has not been
devised by the working men, of the world,
to put check upon speculation in this direc-
tion. We are persuaded that it needs but
the WILL and the way would be found, to
"kill out this class of spectators upon hu-
manity, who are no better in heart and prin-
ciple than shareholders who fat themselves
upon the hard-earned gains of honest toll.
Let associations be fnrmed le> plans be sug-
gested and discussed, and let this brond OF
human CD blood-suckers be swept from the
earth which they disgrace.
Let no one be alarmed about the crops. It
argues small faith in Him who has said to us,
"While the earth remains, there shall lie seed
time and harvest "Trust in the Lord and
do good SO shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verify thou shalt be fed"

The Koran was written about A. ID. 6l0.
1t e ner. aim was to unite the professors
Of ldolatry and the Jews and Christians, in
the wor ship of one God-whose unity was
the chief point incuIcated-under certain
laws and ceremonies, exactipg obedience to
Mahomet as the phrophet. 1t was certainly
written in the Koreish Arabic, and this Ian
guage, which certainly possessed every fine
quality, was sad to be that of Paradise.-
Mahomet asserted that Koarn was revealed
to him during period of twenty three years,
by the Angel Gabriel. The style of the vol
umc is beautiful, fluent and concise and
where the majesty and attributes Of God are
described, it is sublime and magnificent
Mahomet admitted the divine mission both
of Moses and of Jesus Christ According
to Gibbon, the leading article Of faith which
Mahomet preached is compounded OF an eter-

there is only one God and that Mahomet is

A YANKEE MIsoaYNrsr.-The Litchfeld
Enquirer records the death, on the l1th

the 80 year of his age. He was brrn in the
house where he died-was a simple minded
and eccentric cid bachelor. During his long
life, he seldom permitted a female to cross his
threshold-conducting lis own domestic af-
fairs, and managing his own dairy. His but
ter and cheese in the New York market
always sto d high, and his current wine,
metheslin, &c, were always Of the first quail
ity.
Notwithstanding he banished females
from his household, be seems to have had no
aversion to their society," for until he was
prevented by the disease which terminated
his existence, he never failed to attend all the
village balls. The editor adds: And few
are they among US who do not remember the

Andrew Pickens Butler, of South Carolina:
during his passage from Charleston to
Wilmington, on his first trip as Senator to
Washington, the boat was overtaken by g
storm which rendered her an unmanagesble
wreck. She had been fnrty-eight hours at
sea, the captain pronounced her lost. While
she was rolling in TIE trough of the sea, and
expecting every moment to founder, Jude
Butler had all called forward, and desired
that each should know one another, so that If
any reached the land, he, she, or they might
report the fate Of the others. An elderly
negro woman (the stcwardess, perhsps) said,
old master, this is no time for introduct: ons;
you had better pray" He said, 4 cannot;
but pray old lady, if you can She instant
ly knelt down and poured out a fervent prav

who heard the Judges narrative after his
return home, said TO him, Brother rickehs.
