Biz BLOCKS of Grunirn.

Some Of the blocks OF granite used
in the construction OF the Treas.
ury Building extension at Washington
are the largest, we pres ume, which
have ever been moved in this country;
aud they are moved very cenoidera.
BILE distance, being all carried from the
eastern part OF Maine. They are
transported to Washington by water,
and alter their arrival there, moved,
by OK power, upon a sort OF double
pulley system, a distance oftwo miles,
perhaps, to the ground where they are
wanted for use. The work of NOV.
ing them is performed with ease, tho
slowly, with comparatively very little
animal power--not more than eight
or ten yoke of oxen being employed to
move block weighing seventy tons.
The Auted pillars, great numbers OF
which are used in the building, are
about forty feet long, and will weigh
fifty orsixty tons The largest blocks
are thirty or forty feet square, and two
are three feet thick, and will weigh
upwards Of seventy tons.
The ease with which these vast
blocks are moved and fixed in their
places is source of wonderment, and
seems to be the perfection of mechan-
ieal skill and Ingenuity. And yet
how insignificant is the achievement
when compared with the triumphs OF
ancient mechanism and art. 10 the
foundation of the great temple OF the
Sun, at Balbee, may still be seen, even
in the second course, stones which are
thirty-seven feet long and nine feet
thick; aud under this, about twenty
feet from the ground, three stones
which alone occupy one hundred and
eighty-two feet IN length by about
twelve feet thick. These three stones
are estimated to weigh 900 tons each
But we read ofan Egyptian Idol TEN
pie, Buris, far SURPRISING this,in which
there was a sanctuary composed Of 6
single block of granite, sixty fee
square. This is the largest and heav
lest stone mentioned in the history o
nations. These things teach US moi
to be too proud of what we have done
and as what has been done can be ant
probably will be done again, they
show US at the same tine what yet re
mains for us and our successors to &C
complish. ..--B0ston Courier.

A Modern Hercules.

A letter from New Orleans to the
st. Louis Republican relates the fol-
lowing incident:
A gambler known as Mountain
Jack, performed an extraordinary feat
of physical strength one night this
week, in the bar-room OF the st.
Charles Hotel, where large number
ofthe carnival revelers had assembled.
A drunken fellow, dressed in Indian
costume, rode a horse into the bar
room, and dismounted to take drink,
and while at the bar, another drunken
fellow climbed into the saddle
Mountain Jack, as his name indicates,
is a giant in size, being six feet seven
inches high, finely proporticned, and
possessed Of enormous strength, even
beyond his colossal proportions. He
was at the time on aspree, and altho'
like most large men, naturally good
natured, is, when under the influence
OF liquor, perfectly wild, reckless and
untam.ble. A playful fancy seized
him at the moment, and STOPPING over
the hor Sc, he placed his right arm
around his belly just behind the fore
legs, and lifted the animal of his legs
rider aud all, and threw them heavily
upon the floor, and with shock tina,
Jared the whole house. On indlng
himself down, the horse refused tt
get up. and the giant again laid hold
OF him ard set hun upon his pins, IL
order to release tie bruised and help
less rider, who had fallen partly un
der the beast, and who considered
himself lucky to escape without bro
ken bones. Later in the day Jack
got to throwing tumblers promiscu
ously, and was arrested by the uniteC
efforts OF about twenty men.

An Eloquent ExIrnci.

We make the following eloquent
extract from late speech Of Senator
Hunter, of Virginia. In speaking Of
the possibility Of tie efforts of the Re-
publicans to overthrow the Govern.
ment proving successful he said. 5I
"Sir, ia that event, the accusing
voice Of human history will ring
through all the ages to impeach them
at the bar Of posterity for having de,
stroyed the nOblest scheme Of constitG
tional liberty which the wisdom o.
man has ever devised; and upoa
that fearful issue each of the succeed
ing generations of men will record its
verdict of guilty against them. Their
own descendants will heap reproaehes
upon the names of those who dsap-
point them of the destiny which
would have been the richest inheri-
tanee that one generation could be-
queath to another. But which it is
asked upon what view of the Constitu,
ton, upon what consideration or phl,
anthropy, upon what calculation of
interest, general or sectional, the fatd
deed was done. where will the satistae.
tory answer be found. and who shall
arise in that day to defend their name
from the tpul reproachi .lu-.
"Mr. President, when | think OF
what it is that may be DESTROYED b.
this narrow spirit OF sectional hate
and bigotry, turn away from the
contemplation with feeling Of alm,st

DEAF MUTE PRINrERs.- The New
Orleans Picayune notices the fact
that the last annual report Of the Lou

the institution, from the setting of the

the Legislature approved last March,
the Board OF Administrators were au.
thorlzed to introduce printing for the
purpose OF instrueting the pupils

Dim ard mysterious is the early
history Of man on this continent. 1t
is enveloped in thick darkness, never,
it ma, be presumed to be penetrated
by human research; and yet the ruins
of ancient cities are frequently discov.
cred that tell Of a race that has long
since passed away-probably extermi
mated by the ancestors Of our present
Indians, who are also fast departing
from the human family-tairly dying
out before the ever advancing inAu.
ence of the pale face. But these mon
umental cities indicate great popula-
tions, and prove the existence Of NIGH
ty men Of old. A new stimulus is
likely to be given to. American arch@.
ology. by discovery recently made
some ninety miles northeast of Fort
Stanton, a long account of which has
just appeared i'll the Fort Smith lAr-

toward the river Pecos, and is very
fertile, crossed by the gurglng stream
Of the purest water that not only sus.
tains rich vegetation, but perhaps
furnished with this necessary element
the thousands who once inhabited this
present wilderness. ~.
The city was probably built by a
warlike race, and it is quadrangular
and arranged with skill to afford the
highest protection against an exterior
foe, many oithe buildings on the outer
line being pierced with loopholes, as
though calculated for the use of weap-
ons. Several Of the buildings are of
vast size, and built Of massive blocks
off dark granite rock, which could
only have been wrought to their pres.
eut condition by vast amount %! la.
bor. There are the ruins of three no
BILE editices, each presenting trent OF
three hundred feet, made of ponderous
blocks OF stone, and the dllapidated
walls are even now thirty five feet
high. There are no partitions in the
area Of the middle lsupposed) temple,
so that the room must have bpen vast;
and there are also carvings in bas re.
lief and fresco work. Appearances
justify the conclusion that these silent
ruins could once boast of halls as goy.
geolsy decorated by the artists hand
as those Of Thebes and Palmyra. The
buildings are all loopheled in each
side, much resembling that found in
the old ieudal castles of Europe de.
signed for the use of archers. The
blocks Of which thes e edifces are com
posed are cemented together by spe'
cies ol mortar of a bituminous charsc
Iers, which has such a tenacity that
vast masses of wall have fallen down
without the blocks being detached by
the shock. We hope, ere long, to b.
favored with full and descriptive par
ticulars, as it is probable that visits
ard examinations will be made
amongst such interesting relies of un-
known past by some OF the United
States officers attached to the nearest
relics of unknown past by some ofthe
United States officers attached to the
nearest fort.

The Minmehaha. Fails In Winter.

phe Mianehaha Falls, IN Minneso.
10, are described as presenting very
beautiful sight, especially in winter.
The ST. Paul Times says:
"The creek which forms the fall can.
not be seeu until you are close upon
its brink; then the most beautiful
sight that "tairies e'er conceived or
naiads dreamed" is before your admi.
ring eyes. The brook comes leaping
and dancing along, seemingly urcon-
scious Of the fall directly in its path,
and over it leaps, laughing, careless,
fleecy mass; then on again to mingle
with the Father of Waters" halt a
mile below. The ledge of rocks, over
which the water falls, forms under.
meath quite a cavern, 80 that in sum.
mer you may pass into it behind the
fall. The. sides OF the ravine below
the fall are steep, and are now entire
ly sheeted with ice from the spray Gf
the waterfall. BY dint Of sliding,
creeping and rolling, the bottom is
reached, where you behold "Crystal
Palace" more rare and unique than
human mind ever devised. The ice
has formed behind the fall in stupen-
dous columns and slender stalactites
reaching from top to bottom, shutting
from view the passage behind the fall,
except in one small place, through
which you may nange TO squeeze in,
and then the eye falls upon a most
beautiful grotto. Words tail to de.
scribe its icy, frosty purity and iantAs
tic splendor. There hangs, from the
solid rock far above your head those
crystal pearly columns, large and reg
ular, reaching to the bottom ofthe tal
and interviewer with icices OF all siz
es aud shapes. Never did nature, il
her widest features, produce aught.s(
