.As rs 55s lgrom the Cincinnati Gazette.
when the city Of Corinth was burnt BY the Ro-
mans the gold, silver, brass statues, and all me-
talic substances in the city, melting and mngling
focefher. formed the celebrated compound known
AZ 4 Corinthian Brass. a metal highly valued by
the ancients for statuary, and in beauty but little
inferior to gold. In like manner the fires of des-
potism, which burned in the old world, fused to-
eether, about two centuries ago, the rich elements
which, being transferred to this continent, were
nodded into statue such as the skill of all the
ancients failed to modei--a colossal statue Of
Liberty-the American nation. And as Corinthian
brass was for the purposes Of art, esteemed above
all other metals so we consider this new race which
peopled our continent, formed as it was by blend
ing the noblest elements that all European nations
could furnish, superior to any Of those races from
which its constituents were taken.
That diversity of elements conduces to a higll
degree of excellence, may be abundantiy shown
by a brief reference to the natural world. me y.
telligent agriculturist has long since found tnat
soils are fertilized by the Introduction OF foreign
clemens; hence vast amount Of capital and la
bor are annually expended in obtaining guano
from distant islands Of the Pacific, and other SUD
stances. az fertiizing agents. Trees, and plants
also. by engrafting one upon another and trans
nlantnS to different soil from that in which they
grew, are much improved.

CoossING NIAGARA OK a RopE AT NIGIT
On Thursday last both Blondin, at Ma
CARA, and De Lave, at Geneseo Falls,
Continued their rivalry in walking,
BY ta1 performance Of feqts new to both
Thss q Dlondin was the most interest
ing. being nothing less than crossing the
Niagara, on rope, at night. The Ga
zctto describing it says:
* Ettle past eight o'clock, he proceed
ed rapidly down the rope, aud was dis
tinctly visible upon either side. Unfor-
tunately, the light upon one end Of the
pole became detached and fell into the
river. The sight was not SO pretty as
it would have been had not this occurred
" hen about midway he took seat to
rest. or perhaps get better view of the
scene. Not satisfied with beholding
things above and around him, be finally
Inverted himself and looked down into
the water. 1t was SO dark we think he
did not see much. Standing on his head
At night on 4 rope over the chaam Of Nj
agara, must be sport Arising he pass
ed on. Soon after, the other light fell
fren his pole aud Blondin was loft ia
impenetrahlo darkness. Above, around.
beneath, all was dark. Nothing more
was seen or heard of him until shout
from the opposite shore announced he
had safely crossed the food. At little
after nine, he started on his return, sur
rounded with fireworks, consisting Of
Roman candles which gave a pleasing
appearance lie was literally enveloped
in a blaze When about midway he laid
down his pole and stood up erect-in-
yerted. Then he suspended himself be-
low the rope by his heels, and there he
remained drumming ON his chest until
his camp fires were all extinguished. -
There he was left, as before, in outer
darkness. A live Yankee, who was
standing by, said "he wondered if he
would stay there for alters" A shout
on the bank announced his safe arrival
home Thus ended NJ. Blondin's night
walking

TIE GnrA B,srarS The New Yorl,
Post cnlarges upon the mammoth slip
Great Eastern, and is at some pains to
iamiliarize us with her dimensions by
comparing her with certain well-known
loeal Objects. We quote:
The Great Eastern has an upper
deck just SIX hundred and ninety-onc
feot long from stem to stern. If set
down In lie Park she would reach from
tbe beIl-towor, behind the City Hall, to
the large entrance Of the Astor House
On the deck Of the ship could be placed
the custom-housa in Wall street, with its
front al lie bows, and then two other
buildings o. the same length and the
p9s,ol1ca behind, leaving still nice
promenade between the rear of the latter
building and the stern Of the yessei. -
Three Of the Merchants Exchange could
also be placed in the Great Eastern, but
as they are somewhat wider than the
deck Is is doubtful whether the expert
mcut will be ,ciod. The High Bridge
IS just twice long as tie Great Bsst-
ern The Centre street Tombs, il sliced
llngi,uGinany in tho middle, to lessen
tho Width, could be slowed the Great
Eastern, and leave over one hundred and
fifty feet to spare. Trinity Church IS
but Gus hundred and eighty ifect long,
aul fly tas in height from the caves.
ap, BY taking away the cabins and decks
q the Glsa. Eastern, you could place il
her three Trinity Churches; from the
outside oul the roofs and spires would
be visible. and the latter might serve for
qasta ~ cutting of the chancel you
would have room for fourth Trinity
Churcp, or the Free Academy, if you
felt SO disposed This will give some
ideaof the size and capacity of the Great
Eastern

IRON TIE REV. ]. R. HARwELL.

After shout eight lessons, Of an hour each, in
Photography, from Mr.. DOLBEAR, found to my
astonishment that had far mastered its princi-
pies as to be able to write the first Psalm easily
and as quickly IS in the common method. A little
subsequent practice has enabled me to attain to
speed of sixty words per minute, although my les>
sons are not yet completed Without any extraOr-
binary effort on my part, find my speed in writing
rapidly and constantly increasing
It does not require years of practice to make one
expert in writing Photography, fOE the system Of
Mir. D. is very simple, and his panoramic illus
trstionI Sc plain, ths any ordinary mind can com.
prehend the whole in few hours
Children learn it as readily grown persons. In
the class with myself several little boys, from
seven to ten years old, whose progress has been
rapid ss that of any older member of the Glass.
This system of short hand should be taught in sll
our schools and colleges by it much time, labor
and expense would be saved. It's benefits in these
respects can be appreciated only by those who have
enjoyed them. J. R HARwELL.
