Remarkable Historical Facts.

The New York Picayune, says
that the battle OF Waterloo was not
an American Victory, and it is a
matter Of doubt whether any Chi
nese took part therein. Boarding
houses were unknown in the island
OF Juan Fernandez, at the time Mr..
Selkirk resided there. Mr.. Chan
frau was hot the original Nose, but
Nose in Egitto. Lsger.bier was
unknown in the days OF Ptolemy.-
The Organ family are descended
from the constellation Orion. There
are no existing Sanscrit manuscripts
Of Pnss i'll Boots. The melodies OF
Mother Goose are undoubtedly the
production of Upper. Postage was
not prepaid on the letters OF Juuius,
The egg broken by Columbus was
hard-boiled. Sampson is presumed
to be the first gentleman that ever
travelled on his muscle. The Yan
keism "Do Tell" was originally
used by boy named Albert, to bis
father, a Swiss gentleman, famous fol
his skill with the bow. "Indiau

those who "due" would look vastly
better with their gray boards, or with
cblns closely shaven.
Let us add. by the way, that the
lift Of the head above the shoulders,
80 necessary TO we'll bred air, may
sometimes be interfered with by a
beard worn too bnshy and long. -
The effect Of the beard itself is very
often spoiled by a standing collar,
80 worn as to cut off its outline. -
Shirt, coat, and cravat, should all
leave head and beard to unobstruct-
ed view, particularly with persons Of
short stature.
There are various incidental mo
tives, Of course, which, arbitrarily
and quite independent Of taste, effect
the wearing OF the beard. Clergy
men, Tutors, Deacons, Bank Direct
ors, and Undertakers, may think it
more or less for their interest to
"sbave"--to satisfy, let ms say, how
ever, a very unreasonable expecta-
ton, in the eyes for which they do
it. But there is for here and there q
mar, a secondary consideration af-
fecting the beard. We speak Of one
whose air and manner are not suffi.
ciently subdued, one whose style re.
quires abating. Beard is an obvious
intensifier to one who is thus ma.
turally too snowy, and he would do
we'll to propitiate the general i'm
preston by its sacrifice.

The human remains found some

are that che must have been from go

as he deserved. The matter 70.

Distressing Occurrence at Columbus.

Yesterday afternoon, about half.
past four o'clock, a fire was discov

tached to the Tub aud Bucket Fac.
tory OF Messrs. Crary, Hughes &
Beebe, on the west side OF the river
The alarm was sounded, and grca,
number of people rushed to the spot
The building which is a three story
brick, was iull OF cut timber in the
process Of drying, and for some time
after it was discovered, no flames
were seen, but an immense cloud oi
smoke ascending from the roof
When the first engine reached the
spot, men and boys were passing wa
ter in buckets to door in the second
story, which is reached by flight ol
steps, and is surrounded by an open
platform thirty feet high. This
platform was crowded with men,
forty or fifty in number.
For a few minutes after the first
stream Of water was thrown, the
mass Of gas and smoke seemed to in
crease in volume and density, when
suddenly it ignited-the flames bnrst
ont in all directions, with an ex.
plosion like that of gun powder,
which swept the platform clean,
pitching those who stood upon it to
the ground in q mass. a distance OF
some thirty feet. Tho scene at this
point was altogether the most fright
iul we ever beheld, but by a miracle
no person was killed, though all
were somewhat injured. The burn.
ing appeared to be the worst part of
it. Seven or eight persons. who
were standing close to the wall
were terribly burned. Among those
who were severely injured was one
young man connected with the Neil
House, named William Parker, who
had the skin on his face and hands,
rs we'll as the hair on hs head, al
most completely burned off. He
has probably lost his sight forever,
and even fears for his life are enter.

Mr.. Hughes, one of the proprietors
Of the establishment, was anon. the
sufferers, having his fac> very much
injured by the explosion. One man
whose name, in the confusion and
excitement that prevailed, we were
unable to learn, was stretched upon
the ground, apparently dangerously
hurt by the fall, and badly scorched
by the flames. A number Of others
whose names we could not learn, re
ceived injuries of less Importance. -
The sufferers were conveyed to the
city as soon as possible and received
medical aid
After the explosion the fire ragged
with fnry, and all the manly effort,
of the firemen could not prevent tn,
building and its contents from being
almost total loss.
The loss by the fire is about SO 900
with no insurance.

A Birthday Tribute.

We will not speak OF years tonight;
For what have wears To bring,
But larger foods Of love and light
And sweeter songs to sing?
We will not drown in wordy praise
The kindly thoughts that rise:
lfriendship owns one tender praise,
He reads IL in our eyes.
We need not waste our schcolboy art
To gili this notch Of time:
Forgive me. II my wayward heart
Has throbbed in artleSs rhyme.
Enough for him the silent grasp
That knits us hand in hand,
And he the bracelets radiant clasp
That locks our circlins band.
Strength To his hours of manly toll!
Peace TO his star.lit dreams.
Who loves alike the furrowed soil,
The music haunted streams!
Sweet smiles TO keep forever bright
The sunshine on his lips.
And faith, that sees the ring OF light
Round Natures last eclipse!
