AN AUSTRIAN VIEW OF ENGLAND's
MILITARY SPIRIT-The following is an
extract from an article in the Oester-
reichteche Zeitung:
The cry of vengeance, which was rails
ed in England as soon as the eruelties,
committed by the Indian mutineers be-
came known, was but neutral. Women
and children can cry for vengeance, but
men can do more. 1t is a remarkable
fact that not one band Of volunteers has
yet offered to proceed to the seat of war.
The universities, the public schools, the
factories, the cottages of the peasants,
have not sent forth one man with his
gun or sword in his hand In any other
country thousands would have been car
ried away by their feelings, and offered
their services at such highly critical
moment. When the United States were
at war with Mexico, ten times as many
volunteers presented themselves as could
be accepted. Not only young men be-
longing to the first and richest families,
but even gray-headed fathers OF families
hurried to the scene Of action and served
in the ranks. The taste for deeds Of
arms isfalmost extintc in the European
branch of the Anglo Saxon race. 1t is
only for lucrative appointments that there
is superabundance Of applicants. The
lower classes, when enlisted and paid, do
what they are bid, but when the times
are prosperous and wages high, recruits
are not to be found. In fact the English
army has almost become myth.

ADVENTURE WITH HoRsE THIEvE:

ADVENTURE WITH HoRsE THIEVES.
The Princeton (Ill.) Democrat relates
an incident of an encounter with horse
thieves in that vicinity, which is worthy
of notice. DIR. Cash on MOI ny night,
while riding on his circuit, fell in with
two men with horses which he knew
were stolen. lie walked up to them.
and pointing to the horse, demanded it,
saying lie would have it. The tall man
replied, "By G d, I'll kill you" The
DR.. replied, Crack away" whereupon
the villain did crack away with pistol,
the ball from which went through the
crown of the Dr.'s hat. entering about
two inches below the crown and going
out through the top. The other man
(the small one) then fired, the ball 60
ing under the Dr.'s arm, but not strik-
ing him. The rufiians Immediately
seized him, while he was endeavoring to
get his pistol from his pocket; each one
taking hold OF his clothes and whirling
him with all their strength towards a
ravine near them, evidently intending to
throw him into it and thus get the ad-
vantage of him; but he fetched up
against sapling, and drawing his pis-
tol, he fired at the smaller man, the ball
striking his arm about halfway between
the shoulder and elbow. The villain
screamed Justify, so that he might have
been heard quaeter ola mile, while the
tall one mounted the gray horse and
made off. The wounded man also made
off in hurry, finding that his screams
would not bring his companion to his
relief, and the Doctor took Mr.. Hol-
loway's stolen horse and went home.

The process of Giass-Engraving.

Ihe process oil Sias 50 In SEatlhSs
On being told that came to see glass
engraving, says the author Of ''Travels
IN Bohemia" the young man piled his
wheel briskly, and taking up a ruby
taxa. in few minutes there stood a
deer with branching ant!ers, on rough
hillock in its centre-a pure white in
taglio set IN red. | had never before
seen the process, and was surprised by
its simplicity. All those landscapes,
hunting scenes, pastoral groups, and
whatever else, which appear as exqui-
site carvings in the glass, are produced
by few tiny copper wheels or disks.
The engraver sits at a small lathe against
a window, with little rack before him,
containing about score of the copper
disks, varying in size from the diameter
of half penny down to its thickness,
all mounted on spin1les, and sharpened
on the edge. He paints a rough Outline
of the. design on the surface of the glass,
and selecting the disk that suits best, he
touchss the edge of the instrument with
a drop Of oil, inserts it in the mandril,
sets it spinning, and holding the glass
against 1t from below, the little wheel
eats its way in with astonishing rapidity.
The glass, held lightly in the hands, is
shifted about continually, till all the
greater parts of the figures are worked
out; then, for the lesser parts, smaller
disk is used; and at last the finest touch
es, such as blades Of grass. the tips Of
antlers, eyebrows, and so forth. are put
in with the smallest. Every minute he
holds the glass up between his eye and
the light. watching the developement Of
the design; now making broad excava-
ton, now changing the disk every ten
seconds, and giving touches so light and
rapid that the Impractical eye can scarce
ly follow them; and in this way he pro-
duces effects of foreshortening, of round
ness, and light and shade, which, to an
eve witness, appears little less than
wonderful. The work in hand happened
to be a tazzi, and in less than half an
hour | saw deer in various positions
roughed oat on six Of them, and three
completely finished.

at Manchester on the productive power

stance going to show how remarkably

diifuses itself. 1t will probably be with
in the recollection of some Of our read

Times newspaper offered reward of
$1,000 for the discovery Of fiber able
to.supply fireplace Of rags in the matter
Of paper making. In descending the
Zambeze, the great river of South East
ern Africa, and of which the Doctor has
been the first to give any satisfactory
account, he found the natives on the
banks ofthe river aware of this offer and
quite interested in it. In fact, the Doc
ter brought home with him q native
fiber, said to grow abundantly on the
north bank of the Zambeze, and 4 probe.

pronounced by a manufacturing house
at Leeds stronger and better than fax

Cotton is also an abundant product Of
the district. variety being produced
there very easily tseperated from the
seed. Nothing, he thinks, is needed but
the stimrlous OF a market TO lead to
large production by the natives. Sugar
cane grows abundantly, but the natives
do not understand the process of sugar
