Nh. Hiram JuDsoS-DsarS Sir: As you ask my opin-
ion of Kirby's Moving Machine. in reply 1 will say
after Witnessing the operation Of the different machines
brought into the field at several trials Of Movers, dur
ing the past season. my opinion is, that when tested
upon any principle OF practical utility. rs 4 Moving
Machine, KiTby's has appeared to work as we'll as any
other. and from my knoEleige o. machinery, think Il
one Of the best constructed Machines in use. The
principle upon which it is auiit. combines cheGpness,
simplicity rud durability the draft is light. and com
paratiyeiy little side draft. 1 think it we'll adapted to
the wants OF the farming community.

Mr.. HIRAx JrDsoS-Dsar Sir: In answer to your
inquiry respecting orr Moving Machine & Harvester.
we can say that it fully meets our expectation, being

requiring only an ordinary team to cut ten or fifteen
acres per day. Our grain was never gathered so clean
by hand as we got it last season by the Harvester
Ani we can NOW over rough ground better than we
expected. This mOwiugbar and gearing acting indie

maiured convictions Of his whole life
Mr.. Seward and other S'nators are s.riv
ing 10 arrange the officially, AMI will
doubtless succeed.
The following is a full and accurate
account Of the language used in the de-
bate last night, which gave challenge
Mr.. Wilson had made a speech in re-
ference to the expenditures of the Coy
eminent in California. Mr.. Gwin, in
reply; said That he had heard a great
deal Of demsgogism in connection with
''N NAlEtttAuiIH iH 1diilJiIilt. WI
Wilson asked if he intended to apply the
word demagogism to him. Mr.. GHin
declined 10 explain or rely.
Mr.. Wilson said: "The Senator de.
clines TO answer. Very well. say to
him that demagogism is better than thiev-
ing | hnl rather be a demngo5uo
than a thief"
Mr. Gwin inquired if the Senator
meantt to apply his language to him, or to
the reyenue in California.
Mr.. WILSON said hat he had no expla-
u%aiions 10 give 10 the Senator from Cali

ANECDoTE OF UAvELoCK.-The following
anccdote is told by n gentleman who visited
Have'ock while he was IA London: In the
course OF conversation Mrs. lIavelock turned
suddenly round to her husband, and said

referring to her son, whom she had not seen
during the whole afternoon. The Colonel
started to his feet "WcIl, poor fellow. he's
standing on London Bridge and in this cold,
too. | told him to wait for me there at -
o'clock to-day, and in the pressure Of busi-
ness at -, quite forgot the appoint
ment." The father and son were to have
met at twelve at noon, and it was now after
seven in the evening; yet the father seemed
to have no coubt that Harry would not
move from his post until he appeared. The
Colonel at once rose, ordered cab to be
called. and, as he went forth TO deliver his
son from his weary watch on London Bridge.
he turned to excuse himself to his visitor.
saying, - You sec, sir, that's tue discipline
of a soldiers family" In the course Of an
hour the Colonel returned with p or Harry,
who although he app ared somewhat affect
ed by the cold watch, and glad to see the
fire IN the comfortable parlor at home seem
| ed TO have passed through the little after
Moons experience with the greatest good
humor, and the feeling that all vas right.

The disinterment Of buried cities revealed
singular perfection in all that pertained to
their domestic comfort, and in the orna-
Inents and articles Of taste which marked q
high civilization, but later Investigations
have brought TO light facts more surprising
in regard to their literary labors and the ex-
tensive diffusion Of books among the people
IL the time from Cicero mp to Marcus
Aurelius scarcely less was written and read
than in our day. This was effected by
slave labor. Saves were the amanuenses Of
Roman publishers. What the printing press
now does for the spread Of intelligence
bringing the poet and the orator, the his o.
riln and the essayist in communication with
the minds Of the niasses-bondmen then
performed, and the cheGpncss of their labor
superseded the necessity of machinery.
In the nrge publishing establishments, n
work TO be PRODUCED was dictated to several
hundreds of slaves at once. who were capa-
bic of an almost incredible percision and
celebrity Martialis tells us that the second
book Of his epigrams which numbers some
SIX hundred and fifty verses, did not cost
hundred were engaged at the same moment
upon it, fifteen hundred coud have been
produced in 4 single day. The price o. this
work was quite as cheap as one OF similar
dimensions printed at the present day.
The passion for literature, il we form
a correct judgment from the broken records
that have come down to Us, was equal to that
nanife,tod in the present age. From Pub
iiuS Nictorius we learn that, during the Sec
ond and third centuries after Christ, there
were IN Rome alone twenty pubic
Libraries, many of which, as 10 the number
Of books, equal the celebrated AeXan-
drine library, which is supposed to navo
contasned zoo. 600 volumes.
Modern civilization, with all its vaun.ed
perfection, seems to have little TO boast Of
over the ancient, except it be what results
from a different code of morals and better
religious culture.
