An envoy extraordinary and plcnipotentiary of

Of two Danish vessels by Gen. Baez during the re.

President Sananna offered to refer the matter to

The Devils Tea Kettle.

There is probably, says the Mountain
Democrat, no portion of the continent
which affords a wider field for geograph-
zeal resoach, than the Great Basin ofDese-
ret or Utah. In that solitary, unex-
plored region are many curious salt
lakes, the vistages Of lost ocean, the
waters of which are so strongly impreg-
mated with saline matter that they are
little less than immense reservoirs of
salt in solution. Vast rivers meander
for hundreds of leagues through sterile
solitudes, & at length mysteriously disap-
pear in the thirsty deserts. Immense
deposits of soda cause the water, in GER
tain localities, to seethe and eferyesce
like boiling cauldrons. Springs of sui
phur, and springs of boiling hot water,
mountains of snow, and burning plains,
smiling valleys, and vast deposits of
subterranean ice-theso, and a thousand
other wonders are to be seen in the
Great American Basin. Lieut.. SawtelIe
Of the sixth infantry, while on the recent
march across the continent, at point

land route first strikes the Humboldt.
saw very singular natural curiosity,
which, per compliment, We will name
the Devils Tea Kettle" On the very
apex of a conicaI shaped mound, about
eighty feet i'll height, was an unfathom-
able miniature lake of warm water,
which had no apparent outlet or inlet |
The water was quite tepid and perfect
~ translucent, and its surface was near
~ on level with the top of the cone
which contained it. Various attempts |
were made to fathom this curious basin,
but no bottom could be found. AT the
distance Of forty feet from the base of
the mound, were number of gushing
fountains, the water Of which was in
tensely hot. Can any one explain the
mystery Of the Devils Tea Kettle?"

Theodore Parker on George WASHINGTON

Theodore Parker has prepared a lee
ture on George Washington, which he
recently delivered. A report of it in the
Boston Joe~n0! states:
The lecturer then summed uD the
features of his character. In the first
place, he said he was not particularly
intellectual. He was not speculative.
but practical. He dealt not with Drin-
cipies, but with measures. He was not
at all imaginative. His language was
generally dry and conventional, but was
occasionally refreshed by expressive
adjectiyes. He had no inventive gen
Jus, but he had faculty for securing
the services Of inventive men, and he
always knew when thing was right.
lie was a great organizer, and followed
old plans, and always took abundant
counsel. His great talent was that Of
administration. He was fond of detail,
and nothing was too small to escape his
notice. lie was not man of genius.
but of great understanding. lie was
not rapid thinker, and had military
talent rather than genius for war
HIS passions were very strong, and at
times broke forth uncontrolable. In
his moral character his wrath could
hardly be called a weakness, but rather
a protuberance upon it. Besides this.
he was without reproach.
But it took great passions to fight
great battles, the lecturer said, and it
was really refreshing to know that so
cool man as Washington, did some
times swear. (Sensation.) Washing
ton was most to be revered for his great
integrity of character. The whole ma
ton looked upon him, but he looked on
ly for the good of the nation. lie new
er understood New England. He found
more fault with it in one year, than with
all the Southern States in seven wears.
He complained bitterly Of a want of
public spirit while he was in Gfassachu-
setts, yet this State furnished more men
and money for the revolution than all
the States south of Mason and Dixon's
line.
Washington's religious character was
lastly treated of. He never said much
OF his belief. It vas probable that in
MS later years his belief was similar to
tnat OF Adams and Franklin, though he
d!d not take occasion to publish it. If
hlgh integrity and morality made a man
rellglous, then Washinton was SO. Min
listers had claimed him for the church,
and proved his religion by his being a
Vestryman, Furnishing swearers in his
ranks, and once, only, partaking of the
sacrament in his later years. The lee
turer found conclusive proofs of his re-
llglon in his reverence for God, his
morality, his patriotism, and his bear
ing towards humanity, in which the last
act was the emancipation Of his slaves
as soon as the law would let him.

Walworth County Institute.

Mr.. ED1ToR,-It has been my privi-
lege to pass n day or two in the pleasant
little village of Genoa, attending the
closing exercises of the last term of the
Walworth Co. Institute, and I desire
to express hearty commentator of
what l have seen and heard. Examin-
atoms occupied all of Tuesday and
W ednesday forenoon; and in the after
noon there were rhetorical exercises in
which nearly all the pupils participated.
In the evening beautiful Christmas
tree loaded with presents was the par
ticular object of attraction, while the
merry music Of the scholars made the
time pass pleasantly.
The examinations were unusually
thorough and unusually satisfactory, re-
tlecting great credit upon the able Prin-
cipal, E. w. Poet, A. B., and his assist
ants, Miss Johnson and Miss Merrill
The advanced classes showed very thor
ough training, and would compare IA
vorably with any [ have ever seen !;
while the appearance Of the juvenile
pupils was especially complementary to
Miss johnson, under whose care they
have been for the last term. The draw
ings exhibited, evinced more artistic
talent, and were more perfectly finished
than could have been expected, consid-
ering the short time the pupils have
been receiving instruction. Miss Mer-
rill, who has charge of this department
and that of instrumental music, has
qualifications for instructing in these
branches rarely surpassed; and it is
pleasing to see that this kind Of culture,
which is more important, l think, than
it Is generally considered, is not neg
iected there.
There has been Norma Glass in the
Institute for the last term, to whom lee.
lures have been given by thu Principal,
Rev. l. A. Hart, and others, designed
especially to prepare them for the teach
er's work.
The next term is to commence Tues
day, Jan. 4tb, with some change in the
corps of teachers, as Miss Johnson's
place is to be supplied by Miss Annie
w. Moody, Of Genoa, a graduate OF
Mt. Hclyoke Seminary, and teacher OF
several years experience, who will I'M
doubleday be valuable acquisition to
the department of instruction. 1t il
due to the educational interests of that
vicinity, as well as to the teachers, that
an institution of SO high an order should
be well supported; and l believe l dc
the citizens of your county good service
in commencing to their patronage the
Walworth County Institute.
Yours truly, A VISITOR.

The Progress of Glass. engraving.

On being told that I had come to see
glass engraving, says the author of
''Trayels in Bohemia" the young man
piled his wheel briskly, and taking up q
ruby taxa, in few minutes there stood
a deer with branching antlers, on a
rough hillock in its center-a pure white
intalio set in red. l had never before
seen the process, and was surprised at
its simplicity. All those landscapes,
hunting-scenes, pastoral groups, and
whatever else, which appear as exquis-
lite carving in the glass, are produced
by f ew tiny copper wheels or disks.
The engraver sits at q small lathe,
against the window, with little rack
before him, containing about score
OF the disks, varying in size from the
diameter Of half-penny down to it's
thickness, all mounted on spindles, and
sharpened on the edge. He paints a
rough outline of the design on the sur
face of the glass, and selecting the disk
that suits best, he touches the edge Of
the instrument with drop of oil, inserts
it in the mandrel, sets it spinning, and
holding the glass against it from below,
the little wheel eats its way in with as.
tonishing rapidly The glass, held
lightly in the hands, is shifted about
continually, till all the greater parts Of
the figure are worked out, then, for the
lesser parts, smaller disk is used, and
