AMERICAN INVENTORS IN AUsTRIA.-0f the
European nations who have paid particular at
tention to the progress of the American peo-
pie in arts, sciences and manufactures. we
must certainly place the Austrians amongst
the first and foremost. Since 1942, we find
the American railway car almost exclusively
on Austrian railways. The. outside connec-
tion on locomotives has been extensively ado
ed in that country, long before the prejudices
in favor of the inside cylinders were removed.
In 1883, the first river steamboat for the Old
World on American principles was construct
ed for the Danube. Since that, two immense
boats, of fifty feet beam, and eighty-two feet
outside the paddle wheels, have been built for
that river, on the model of our lamented
Steers, and engines furnished from New ork.
Morsc's electric telegraph has from the very
start monopoized the Austrian telegraph
wires, and there is scarcely large farm in
that extensive empire or a large manufactory
that cannot show some evidence of American
ingenuity. At this moment 4 balance dry
dock of the largest description, on the Amer
lean principle, is constructing at Venice.
The timber for that dock is furnished entirely
from this country, and almost all the mills on
the North river which have been standing still
for months, are now busily employed in the
saving and shipping of that timber. me
main part Of the machinery for that dock is
also being constructed in New ork. There
seems to be hardly an American invention of
Importance that has not found IFS way into
Austria, and it is matter of surprise and graf
Ification to the American traveller visiting Aus
tria that the home talent is SO much appreciat-
ed in a country which has been almost a stran-
ger to us, and of which, as general thing, we
have so imperfect knowledge .-Ne,o York

Little people are very much given to imits-
tion. Some boys have fancy for hens, and
take delight in ciucking and growing hem
fashion. Others initiate the barking of dogs,
the grunting OF hogs, &c. Down under our
window is an old cage, belonging TO Van Am
burgh. we believe, bearing upon its sides the
words, 'sTrained Anmals.'' We were some
what surprised, yesterday, to discover in that
cage two young gentlemen, aged, perhaps,
seven years each. They were playing Daniel

Daniel and the other of an ssorfui lion.'' Dam
iel was brave; notwithstanding the roaring of
the lion, he walked bravely up to him. and al
ter a scuffle, succeeded in reducing him TO sub

FADELEss Is A LOVING HEART.

Sunny lines may lose their brightness,
Nilnble feet forget their Iightness,
Pearly teeth may know decay,
Raven tresses turn to gray,
Cheeks be pale, and eyes be dim.
Faint the voice, and weak the limb
But, though youth and strength depart,
Fadeless is loving heart.
Like the little mountain flower,
Peeping forth in wintry hour,
When the summers breath is fed,
And the gaudier flow w'rets dead
So, when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still doth blossom on,
Despite Times destroying dart,
The gentle, kindly, loving heart
Wealth and talents viii avail,
When in Life's rough sea we sail,
let the wealth may melt like snow,
And with wit no longer glow;
But more smooth we'll find the sea.
And our course the fairer be,
If our pilot. when we start,
BE kindly, loving heart
1e in worldly wisdom old,
4 e who bow the knee to gold,
Does this earth as lovely seem
As IT did in life 5 young dream,
Ere the world had crusted DER
Feelings good and pure before?
Ere We sold. at Mammon's mart
the best yearnings of the heart?
Grant me, Heaven my earnest prayer,
Whether life of ease or care
Be the one 10 me assigned.
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words
TTined within my bosom chords,
and that age may but impart
Ripper freshness to my heart

Mrs. GEORGE WASHINGTON WrLLrs,

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-The preparations for
the new expedition to lay the transatlantic tel
egraph cable are now completed. In the dock
yarl at Plymouth, England, the main bulk of
the cable, to the length of 1900 miles, has
been slowed away in gigantic coils during the
winter, and full staff OF electricians, under
the direction of Mr.. Whitehouse, have been
engaged in working messages throughout its
entire length, and generally proving the elect
rical fitness of the cable 10 the fullest extent.
The result of these experiments has been in
the fullest degree satisfactory. 1t has been
ascertaincd that eight words per minute can
be accurately transmitted through the whole
length Of the cable. To many unacquanted
with the practical working of submarine lines,
only eight words per minute may appear to be
but poorresult after all, though it is such an
Improvement in the rate of transmission as
not many ventured to anticipate who saw the
cable worked for the first time last summer.

Three eminent Western cities Cincinnati,

St. Louis, the emporium of the Far West; and
Dubuque, the chief city of Iowa and the bus
lest place on the Upper Mississippi-held
their Charter Elections on Monday. Each Of
these is usually Democratic in politics. and
usually gives large majority on thar side at
each Presidential Election. Yet Cincinnati
has now gone anti-Lecompton by some 5000
majorlty-a clean sweep; st. Loris lin a
Slave State) has chosen the siraight-out Free
Soil ticket by about 600; while Dubuque,
usually two to one Democratic, - has elected
ssPeople's Ticket over the regular ssDemo-
cratic' by 500. Dubuque never failed to swai-
low anything labeled s.DemOcrat," before, and
lick her chops for .sInore of the same Sort"

of the Cincinnati Platform, and that it sus-
tains Judge Douglas to the letter.-Ne,o York

FREAKS OF CoLD.-While our past winter
was one of the mildest within the memory of
man, it was very different in Southern Europe
and some other countries, where frost and
snow are seldom seen. In Italy, the river Po
was frozen over at Ferrara, the first time in
the present century. At Constantinople snow
fell for II successive days, and in all the Isles
of Greece snow and frost were common. Snow
also fell in the Island of Malta for the first
time since 1872; and on the shores of the
Mediterranean and throughout various parts of
Asia Minor, snow was seen for the hrst time
IN half century.

ANECDoTE or AuDUBoN.-rhe great natural
ist the lookout for the red-headed
wood pecker, and was very anxious to obtain n
specimen. Seeing one fly into a hole in a
tree long way up, he pulled off his coat and
climbed up with that energy of his which new
er failed him. Putting and sweating he reach
ed it at last, and putting in his hand TO seize
the bird, to his great dismay snake stuck his
head out of the hole and Missed in his face.
This was so unexpected and frightful, that
Audubon let go his hold, and tumbled to the
ground more dead than alive. His compan-
ion came running up to him, and seeing the
naturalist was not hurt but was dreadfully
frightened, said to him :-ssAh you are very
much frightened, doctor -

The GREAT REvIvAL.-There Is not city
in the United States, excepting perhaps New
Orleans and the Pacific cities. where daily
prayer meetings are not held ard the religions
interest extending. The numter of converts
are counted by thousands. Since the day of
Peniicost. no such simultaneous and extensive
an awakening has occurred. The secular pa
perS are full of accounts Of the meetings, while
the religious press occupy columns In merely
aggregating the result of the good work The
revival originated among laymen-the meet
ings are conducted by theni-and the masses
are attracted to them. II is notable that sec
tarianism has disappeared almost, an intense
universally of feeling and sympathy having
melted down the partition walls, and fused
church organizations into one vital, glowing
mass.
