long enough to have it cut off in that hot eli

she could not even stand up. From her knee

wide. She was laid on . bed, and the remedy
placed on chair by it. She could not rise up

pain only; but when examined, fresh flesh was
found growing, and skin over it. She was

REMARKABLE.-Theo officer who conducted
= correspondent through the stables at Wind
scr Castle related the following incident: at
seems Queen Victoria, az well as Prince Albert,
loves fast horses; and she never rides without
her nags are upon the quickest trot. We'll,
she had heard of the speed of New York
horses aud somehow the story Of the rapid
movements Of pair of them in London reach
ed the ears of the prince and the Queen. They
were both anxious to see their movements and
try their speed. which, being made known to
their American owner, he forthwith challeng-
ed Prince Albert to test the mettle of his an
finals between London and Windsor. The
royal party were to have twenty minutes start,
and change hOrScs on the road, while the
American trotters were to 20 through the en-
tire distance. The affair was wholly
private, and yet what was in the wind leaked
out among the groUnIs, and all was excitement.
Having reached the halfway house and road,
with fresh horses, again for a start, they all
looked anxiouSly hack for the American horses.
The Queen and Prince Albert we're rs inter-
ted as if their crown was the issue; and, re-
membcring the yacht race in which America was
victorious, by q wave Of her hand TO her pos
tillion, Victoria urged .hein onward, but il did
not avail. The American trotters were soOn
in sight, and il was but few minutes before
they were meek -and-neck' with the royal
party: 70 their utter amazement they soon
passed them as trotting- nurses are sometimes
accustomed To do On the Blnningdale road
When the Queen and the Prince reached
Windsor, the American horses we're all nice
Is groOmesl, and ready, il necSi be, for another
start. This exploit led to the purchase ofsome
trotting animals. but, having je"pardised the
lives Of the royal party. they were wisely
abandoned"
SCATrERED-A gentleman in West Ches-

years of age. informs us that they have all
lett their parents roof and gone abruad to seek
their fortunes; with no other capital than the
education they received at our excellent public
school, their industrious habits sound morals
and native energy At his last advices from
them, one was in the wilds of Arkansas, in
the extreme South Of the Republic; another
was in Washington Territory, on the Pacific,
the extreme northwestern point of the United
States near the confines If the British Posses

the bold spirit Of Young America The father,
who 10 an honest mechanic. and has lived
many years among us, said TO us the other
day, that the most ardent wish of his heart,
was, 81 see his three boys once around the

is that old mans ambition: and how will the
sympathies OF every feeling heart respond to

LABOR TO MAKE A WArcH-Mr. Dent
in . lecture recently delivered before the Lon
dod Royal Institute, stated that watch con.
sists Of 9O2 pieces, and that forty trades, and
probably 216 persons are employed in making
one Of those little machines. The iron uf which
the ballance-w wheel 10 formed Ia valued at some
thing less than . farthing; this produces an
ounce of steel worth At pence. which is drawn
into 9 $50 yards Of steel wire. and represents
in the market El3 3S but still another pro-
cess Of hardening this. originally Q farthing's
worth Of iron. renders it workable into 1850
balance springs, which will realize at the
common price Of 3. 3D. each, 1856 6s.: the
effect Of labor alone. Thus, the mere labor
bestowed upon one farthings worth Of iron
gives it the value of $3.50 IS. which is $4,000
times its original value.
HEAT FRoM THE STARs.-It is q startling
fact, that If the earth were dependent alone
upon the sun for heat, II would not get enough
to make the existence Of animal and vegetable
life possible upon its surface. 1t results from
the researches Of Pouillet, that the stars fur
niSh heat enough in the course Of year to
melt crust Of ice eighty-6ve feet thick, al
most rs is supplied by the sun. This may
appear strange when we consider how i'm
measurahly small must be the amount Of heat
received from any one Of these distant bodies.
But the surprise vanisheS, when we remember
that the whole ornament is so thickly sOwn
with stars, that in some places thousands are
crowded together within a space no greater
than that occupied BY the full mOon.-Dr.
