JOSEPH BLUNT, csq., has received from Gov.
King the commission of District Attorney, and will,
we presume, at once enter upon the duties Of the
Office. We think the Governor has done real
service to the public in this appointment. With
more ability than usually falls to the lot Of officials
elected by the people, Mr. Blunt combines an
independence Of character and fertility of mental
resources which qualify him for eminent usefulness
His present commission extends TO the close Of the
current year; and We are confident that whenever
be may leave the Office, his discharge Of its duties
will be universally regarded a. credtable TO him.

The Crystal Palace, which was utterly destroyed
BY fire last evening, was erected in 1853, by an
association of our citizens, organized under char
ter granted by the Legislature of the preceding
Year The impulse to this enterprise was given BY
the fame and success of the great Exhibition Of
:" the Industry of All Nations" held in Hyde Park
London, from May to November, 1851. The cap-
tai Of the New-York Crystal Palace Association
was originally 100000, but was increased, under
an amendment of the charter, to $1,000 All
this was expended on the construction OF the
edfce and over $2OO,0 900 more, making the first
cost of the building $7ll 200. Improvements and
additions were made from time to time, making
the first cost of the whole concern about I'VE
think) $750,OOO Some part of this-Perhaps
800, ,O0O-was paid out of the receipts of the EI-
hibitiOn-the balance is made up Of the capital
and the bonded debt which is about $15O,OOO.
No stakeholder ever received penny of dividend,
and no bOndholder, We believe, ever received
farthing of interest. One liberal clearinghouse
advanced to the Company, over and above its sub
scrption to the capital stock, some $67, ,OOO of
which it has never yet received dime. L. L.
Barnum was also creditor to large amount but
his debt passed into the hands of his creditors
about the time Of his bankruptcy. Of course,
there is no insurance.
Tho Crystal Palace was the most credtable
structure ever erected in this City. Its proper
tions were admirable its originality of plan un-
questionable, its adaptation to its uses unsurpassed.
1t was an ornament to our City, and contributed
largely to its business, its importance and its at
fractions. Why it should have been 80 opposed,
hated, malgned-still more, why some of the prop
erty-holders in q neighborhOod of which it con.
sttuted the principal grace, should have warred
upon and sought its destruction--we could never
imsQine Suffice it that their end is attained.
The Crystal Palace Association went into bank
ruptcy in the Fall or Winter of lSA-JOhn II.
White asslgnee-who has since been endeay oring
to dispose of the property pay the debts, and
wind up the concern, acting under the advice Of
the creditors. Some time last May or June, the
City authorities saw fit to take possession Of the
Palace. dispossess Mr.. Whites employees, and
turn the property over to the American Institute,
which had unsuccessfuly attempted to lease it
from Mr. White. The City's tenant has now
burnt up the buildings there no redress for
its creators and their creditors There is proba
bly, work for lawyers involved in this query.

The following, which we have heard told
as fact some time ago, may be beneficial
to some gentlemen who has young, un-
suspecting wife.
A certain man who lived about ten miles
from X, was in the habit of going to town
about once week and getting on a regular
spree, and would not return until he had
time to "cool off" which was generally two
or three days. His wife was ignorant Of
the cause of his staying out so long and
suffered greatly from anxiety about his well
fare. When he would return, of course bis
confding wife would inquire what had been
the matter with him, and the invariablc re-
ply was "that he was caught on tho Jury
and that he could not get Off" '.t'
Having gathered his corn and placed il
in large heap, be, according to custom
determined to call in his neighbors and have
real corn shucking frolo. So he gave
Ned, faithful servant Jug and an order
to go to town and get gallon of whisky
a very necessary article on such occasions.
Ned mounted mule and was soon in town,
and, equipped with the whisky, remounted
to set ont for home, all buoyant with the
prospect of fun at the "shucking."
When he had proceeded few hundred
yards from town he concluded to try the
"stuff," and not satisfied with once trying,
he kept trying until tho world turned round
SO fast that he turned off tho mule, then
he went to sleep, and the mule went to
grazing 1t was now nearly dark, and when
Ned awokc it was just before break o day,
and so dark that he was unable to make any
start towards homo until light As soon
as his bewilderment had subsidized SO that
he could get the point he started with an
empty Jug the whiskey having run out, and
afoot, the mulo having gone home; Of
course he was contemplating the application
of a 'two year old hickory" as he went on
at tho rate of two-forty. ,aon el aajar.
Ned reached home about breakfast time.
and "fetched up" at tho back door with a
decidedly guilty countcnanse. 'ot
"What in the thunder have you been ut,
you black rascal 7" said his master ts
Ned knowing his masters excuse to his
wife when he got on spree, determined to
tell the truth, if be died by it. and said;
swell, massa, TO tell the truth, / was
kotch on de jury and couldn't get OFF,

A Princes ram a nlacksmI,h,. Ri.c.

Among other historical obsuritics with
which Paris is filled at this moment,
may be quoted Herr Barron @ who
enriched and cnnobled by tho King Of
Prussia, rose from tho humblcst origin to n
position Of high consideration in tho world
While the present Prince Of Prussia, then
an infant somo three years Of age, was
staying in the Palace Of Bakesburg, BY
somc negligence Of his nurse he was left
alono for few minutes in an apartment on
the third floor. With tho mavelous in
stinct Of mischief peculiar 10 children Of
that age, the little prince took immediate
advantage of the absence of tho nurse to
accomplish a feat of which he had doubt
less been for long time abitous, and
which consisted in an agreeable walk out
sido tho window, upon the narrow ledge Of
the coping-stone, whence be coull conven-
icntly climb up the back Of the lion ram
pant which supports the entablature Of
the fronticopiecc which adorns the building.
A poor blacksmith's workman, who had
boon sent for, to execute some repairs in
the Palace, was just coming up to the gar.
den, and beheld with horror tho situation
of the Child. With true presence of mind
he hastencd gently to the spot beneath the
window, following every movement Of the
urchin with the kcenost anxiety, and ex
extending wide his leather apron as he
gazed upward to watch tho first symptoms OF
giddiness which should occur to the bold
little adyenturcr As the child drew near
er the lion, the ledge no longer afforded
such firm footing and presently with loud
cry, he pitched over, from that terrific
height, right into-the leather apron of the
blacksmith, which sustained tho shock
without failing, and in another moment the
little prince was restored safe and well into
the hands Of its royal parents, who, in to-
ken of their gratitude, took immediate
charge of the fortunes of the brave young
workman, and bestowed upon him a hand
somo pension, with the title of Baron, to
both of which he has done honor, during q
we'll spent, useful life Court Journal

Tho Human Hand.

Man is, We suppose, tho fccblest animal
on earth in proportion to his size, yot easily
walks as sovereign, chains the behemoth to
his march, tows the loviathan by his warp,
makes the everlasting hills bow before him,
lays his mandate and his chain on the gi-
ant forces of universal nature. And it is
chiefly by means Of the hand--by tho eIc-
yation, expansion, and moro complex organ
iza,ion of the very digits, which we trace in
less perfect development in tho anterior
limbs Of every quadruped. Tho hand---so
slender and flexible that it might seem fit
ted neither for doing nor enduring, but
whose closely knit wobwork of nerves and
sinews concentrates the entire strength Of
tho body, and wields greater force com
pared with its magnitude than is found in
the whole world beSides--combining all
mechanical powers in one, tho fingers Joint
cd levers, tho sincws pulleys, the wrist joint
perpetual screw, without whose ball and
socket movement no screw of steel could
find its way into its bcd-one moment lift
ing heavy weights or striking pondcrous
blows and the next subserving the most
delicate uses, dissecting tho microscopic
proportions Of a fiower-cup or insects wing,
marking with the gravor air-lincs subtitle as
sunbcams, copying the vanished hucs ot
clouds and rose-buds and the human coun
tenance, ombodying thought in forms 81
etheraI that they might seem traced by the
breath Of viewless spirits-this is the ma
chine which renders all other machines pos
sible, this is tho prehensilo aud shaping
agency by which Nature is put to tho tor.
ture for her secrets and to the test for her
! resources, this the means and pledge of
mans viceroyalty upon tho earth. There
is no mechanical operation, whether of
ruder handicraft or Of the highest art, the
capacity of which is not inherent from the
hand, the direction of which is not ono of
tho complex movements of which the hand
is susceptible, the efficacy Of which does
not depend in tho last resort on the guild
ance or restraint of the hand. Thus when
VIC mako water or steam take the place
nominally Of the hand, it really supplies
not manual skill, but simply substitute
for muscular power. With the living hand
we construct tho engine or machines we
copy in it some portion of the dvinely
shaped pair, or rather, as they are by d.
vision and combination, tho countless null
titude of instruments comprehended within
their two wristjoints and palms and our
ter digits; and then with our own hands
wo start, accelerate, or check the working
of these artificial hsnds--barcly supplying
to these last from the impetus of falling
water or expanding steam the force which
accruos to, human muscles from the econo-
my of the vital organism.
