Another Mystery In New Englnnd-A House
on Fire and dInextinauishable

A few days since, while Mr.. Corey and his
two sons were at work in a field near his
house, in town of Massachusetts,, their at
tention was arrested by smoke which ap-
peared to rise from his stable. They hurried
to the barn as quickly as possible, and dis
covered pile of straw near by on fire. This
was Immediately extinguished, and as they
were returning to the field the stable caught
in different places, which, by considerable
exertion, was put out.
Before, however, they had left the prem
ises, another fire was discovered underneath
the granary, in a pile of boards. The bottom
board was burned nearly through, but the
others were not scorched. After this was
put out Mr.. Corey sent one of the boys into
the house to ascertain whether all was safe
there. He came out and told his father that
the house was on fire. Mr.. @. ran up stairs,
where he found some clothes, that his wife
had laid away the day before, burning. They
were thrown out of the window, and from
that time until late at midnight the fire broke
out all over the house. First paper would
catch, then a musketo-bar &C., and it was
only by the exertions of Mr.. c., Hale and
Treadwell that the building was saved. We
shall not attempt to give any cause for this
freak Of nature, but leave it 10 some of our
philosophers to solve.

VALUABLE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES IN FRANCE.
At the last sitting of the French Academy of
Science, NM. Deville and Debree exhibited
two ingots Of platinum weighing together Il
little over fifty-fYe pounds, which had been
melted in the same furnace, and run into an
ingot mold of forged iron. The authors
announce that platinum may be melted in
any quantity, and once melted it becomes
precisely like gold or silver, requiring exactly
the same precautions as in casting the pre-
cious metals. They also exhibited a platinum
cog-wheel, cast in an ordinary sand mold,
in the same way as the other metals thus
giving new proof Of the possibility of CIV
ing platinum all the forms that may be de-
sired, by their process. Two French chemists
suggest, in the Cosmos, a new method of OBJ
tanning gases in their liquid state, which
consists in fastening the evaporation of GER
tain liquids by the introduction of a minutely
confined current of air. They also prove
that at very low temperatures chemical
combinations do not take place. M. Moigno
recommends that it be ascertained at once
whether or not carbon is soluble in carbonic
acid as sulphur is in sulphide of carbon. A
German philosopher has said that it is, and is
occupying himself with the search for dia-
monds in that direction.

SIoIIIAN VENGEANoE--A NEAPoLITAN Po-
LIcEMAN RECEIVES FIFTY MORTAL WOUNDS.
A letter from Palermo gives an account OF
various acts Of vengeance against the old
Neapolitan Police. The writer goes on to
say
Yesterday, at sunset, was witness to &
dreadful act. A man who under the fallen
Government, had been charged with the
surveillance of boats, was recognized near
the Felicia gate. Cries of "a police spyP'
were raised, and crowd of persons rushed
after him in pursuit. The unfortunate man
ran through the streets, the crowd after him
increasing every moment. He took refuge
in chemists shop, round which body Of
10000 persons of all classes soon assembled
uttering cries Of death against him. Two
Piedmontese officers endeavored to calm the
fury Of the people, but their words were of
no effect. The shop was soon filed, and in a
minute after the man received more than
fifty poniard stabs, and lay dead on the
ground. The body was dragged away to be
thrown into the sea, and when il was seen
by the people on the outside, loud applause
and the clapping of hands testified the de-
light they felt at the death of one of their
old prosecutors.

EXTENT OF THE LIBRARY OF CoEeREss.-
This institution now contains about 60, ,000
volumes, exclusive of the large number Of
pamphlets, and about 10000 public docu-
ments; the annual appropriation is $4,000 for
miscellaneous, and 81, 900 for law books. II
was established during the Administration Of
Jefferson, at his suggestion and by his ex-
ertions. II first contained about $500 vol
umes, and was destroyed by fire when the
British burned the Capitol in 1914. In the
same year resolution was introduced into
Congress TO purchase Mr.. Jefferson's private
library, which was passed, the books bought
and brought TO Washington, and the library
Of Congress again organized.
Various valuable additions being made from
time TO time, the library contained, in 1851
$4,000 volumes During that year II acci-
dentally caught fire, and $4,000 volumes
were destroyed, and the room very much in'
jured. This accident finally resulted in the
room being made perfectly fire-proof by con.
structing the alcoVes and shelves Of cast-iron
Soon after, AN appropriation Of $4,000 wa
made by Congress for the purchase Of books
This fund was judiciously laid out, and 8
most excellent collection made of standard
and rare works, During the recess of Con.
gress the library is open thrice a week foI
the public.

A Curious Picture in Possession Of Charles
Sumner.


The picture known as the miracle of ST.
Mark, says the Boston TrdnscripL now on
exhibition at the Atheneum, is Interesting
both from its artist and from its subject. It
is attributed to the Venitian painter Tinto-
retto, and is small copy of the great picture
by him which is so much admired at Venice.
If not by this illustrious artist himself, it is,
obviously, by cotemporary of the Venitian
school. The peculiar and other characters
tics Of that school are unmistakabe.
The subject is founded on legend of the
Church, which is particularly described by
the late Mrs. Jameson in her admirable work
on Sacred and Legendary Art, p 81. 1t is the
liberation Of slave by the Apostle st. Mark,
who descends to rescue him from the cruel
decree of the judge. The woman among the
spectators in front, so Mrs. Jameson says, has
always been admired for the life-like vivacity
of her attitude and expression, and the
dramatic grouping is wonderful. Beneath
the picture at the Athen@um is an early print
by Nathan, which attests the authenticity OF
the copy here.
In speech by Mr.. Sumner, at Faneuil Hall
shortly after the passage of the Fugitive
slave Bill, as long ago as 1850, he thus refers
to this very picture, of which he has recently
obtained this ancient copy:
There is legend Of Venice, consecrated
by the pencil of one of her greatest artists,
that the Apostle st. Mark suddenly descended
into the public square and broke the mana
cles of slave, even before the Judge who
had decreed his doom. Should Massachu-
setts be ever desecrated by such Judgment,
may the good Apostle, with valiant arm,
once more descend to break the manacles OF
the slave p

Queen Victoria's Estate In scotland-A Ro-
mantle "Reminiscences and a Great Suit for
the Recovery of PrOuerty

Balmoral, in Scotland, writes the London
correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, is
another estate purchased out of that same
private fund-not the public treasure-which
is the fruit of careful economizing, not unbe-
coming even in u crowned head, and better
than knocking at the door Of the Parliament
of England, and asking for cash to pay debts,
as have done most former sovereigns of this
country. Balmoral is in the widest part of
Scotland, the regions that Sir Walter Scott
has made memorable, m and conjured up 80
clearly in every mind, even the least roman
tic-the living picture. There was but O
modest house of one story high, fit for a man
of t200 year, upon it, but little castle has
been erected, and the estate brought under
cultivation in the same economical way as at
Osborne. There is no accommodation for
retinue, and SO the Queen and Prince live as
simple lady and gentleman, with about half
dozen people about them and one or two
visitors at most not a soldier or a policeman
within fifty miles. And even more humble
dwelling than this, a cottage with two rooms,
Il is their pleasure TO occupy for three days
during their stay in Scotland. II is in the
widest of all wild All-ne-gar-
mountains inaccessible all around, wild
passes, waving forest trees and dashing tor
rents.

Balmoral Two men against whom he had a
particular spite were set upon and killed; but
Justice, for once in the Highlands, was quick
upon the heels Of the deed, as the men be-
longed to powerful clan, and the nobleman
had TO fly the country. He made an agree
ment with his brother that he was TO enjoy
the property during his life, but upon the
death ofthe fugitive from the law, the prop
erty was to return to the children of the ab-
sentee. Such were the straights that the
man OF crime was put to, that he was obliged
to conceal himself at Nottingham, aud bring
up his children in penury; for he dared not
communicate with his brother in Scotland,
and The penny-post was not established in
those days. After his death the children,

edge Of their fathers rank, were employed

has at last worked out the connection of the

the law courts, and the claim for property
over the value Of BIC, 100000 be put in.

The Difference Between Men snd Women.
A woman has written thus truthfully Of
the two sexes: ...,.. r
A woman is naturally gratifed when a
man singles her out and addresses his con-
versation TO her. She takes pains TO appear
TO the best advantage, but without any
thought Of wilfully misleading.
How different is it with men At least II
is thus that women In general think Of men.
The mask with them is deliberately put on
and worn rs a mask, and woe betide the silly
girl who is too weak or too unsuspicious 10
appear displeased with the well-turned COM
pliments and flattering attentions so lavishly
bestowed upon her by her partner at the
bail. If a girl has brothers she sees a little
behind the scenes, and Is saved much morti-
fication and disappointment. She discovers
how little men mean by attentions they 50
freely bestow upon the last new face which
takes their fancy.
Men are singularly wanting in good feeling
upon this subject they pay a girl marked
attention, hatter her in every way, and then,
perhaps, when warned by some iudicious
friend that they are going too far, "can hardly
believe the girl could be 80 foolish as ofancy
that any thing was meant.
The fault which strikes women most forci-
bly, in men is selfshness. They expect toe
their comforts and peculiarites are interfered
with. If the men of the present day were
less selfish and selfindulgent, and more
willing to be contented and happy upon mod
crate means, there would be fewer causes oi
complaint against young women undertaking
situations as governesses when they are
wholly unfit for so responsible an office.
feel the deepest interest in the present move
ment for the improvement Of the female sex,
butI could not resist the temptation oflifting
up my voice in testimony against some of the
everyday faults Of men, TO which ! think
many Of the follies and weaknesses of women
are mainly to be attributed.
Mr.. Thackeray is the only writer of the
present day who touches, with any severity,
upon the faults of his own sex. He has
shown us the style of women that he thinks
men most admire, in "Amelia," and "Mrs.
Pendennis." Certainly, my own experience
agrees with his opinion; and until men are
sufficiently improved to be able to appreciate
higher qualities in women, and to choose
their wives among women who possess such
qualities, do not expect that the present
desirable movement will make any progress.
The i'm provement of both sexes must be
simultaneous. A "gentlemans" horror is
still "blue stocking" which unpleasing epi-
thet is invariably bestowed upon all women
who have read much, and who are able to
think and act for themselves

An Author and Prime Minister'S Opinion
OF pnhlIc Life.


In the third volume of his Memoirs, just
published, the last Prime Minister of Louis
Philippe, after sketching the history of his
Ministry Of Public Instruction, snG various
other topics Of great interest, writes thus
charmingly about himself:
have no desire to intrude my private life
and feelings on public attention. The more
they are profound and tender, the less are
they disposed TO exhibit themselves, for can
not show them in their intense reality. Kings
exhibit their crown jewels to the inspection
of the curious; but we do not parade our pri-
vate treasures, the value of which is only
known to the owners. Yet, when the fatal
day arrives in which these invaluable posses
sions are wanted from us, It would be evinc-
ing toward them a proper want Of respect
and faith not TO declare the esteem in which
they were held and the void they have left.
l have been strongly attached to political
life, and have applied myself to it with ardor.
have devoted to public duties, without hesi-
tatiop, the sacrifice and efforts they demanded
| from me; but these pursuits have ever been
far indeed from satisfying my desires. 1t is
| not that complain of the incidental trials.
Many public servants have spoken with Bit
terness of the disappointments they have
| experienced, the reverses they have under
gone, the seVerltleS OF fortune, ana Jne ln-
gratitude of men. l have nothing of the
kind to say, for l have never acknowledged
such sentiments. However violently | may
have been stricken, have never found men
more blind or ungrateful, or my political
destiny more harsh, than expected. 1t has
had alternately, and in great abundance, its
joys and sorrows; such is the law of hu-
manity. But it has been in the ,happiest
days, and in the midst of the most brilliant
successes of my career, that have found the
insuiiciency Of public life.
The political world is cold and calculating;
the affairs of Government are lofty, and
powerfully impress the thought but they
can not fill the soul, which has often more
varied and more pressing aspirations than
those of the most ambitious politician. 1t
longs for happiness more intimate, more
complete and more tender than that which
all the labors and triumphs of active exer-
ton and public importance can bestow.
What know to-day, at the end of my race,
| have felt when it began, and during its
continuance; even in the midst of great un-
dertakings, domestic affections form the basis
of life; and the most brilliant career has
only superficial and incomplete enjoyments,
if stranger to the happy ties of family and
friendship.

An Eccentric ParsOn and n TemuIent
"Brotker.D

OEOtHCTs"
Old Parson b., who presides over a little
Cock in one Of the back towns in the State Of
Maine, was, without exception, the most
eccentric divine we ever knew. His eccen-
tricitles were carried as far in the pulpit as
out OF it, An instance of which we win re-
late.
Among the cburch.members was one who
invariably made practice of leaving the
church ere the parson was through with his
sermon, and no one, save the divine seemed
10 take notice OF it. And he at length noti-
fled Brother p. that such "a thing must, he felt
assured be needless. But p said that at that
hour his family needed his services at home,
md he must do it. Nevertheless, on leaving
church, he always took b roundabout way
which, by some mysterious means, always
brought him In close proximity TO the village
tavern, which he would enter-and thereby
hangs a tale.p
Parsch ,. ascertained from some source
that P,l object in leaving church was to OBJ
tain dram, and he was determined to stop
his leaving and disturbing the congregation
In future, II such a thing was possible
The next Sabbath Brother p. left his seat at
the usual time and started for the door, when
the parson exclaimed:
Brother Pr
p, on thus being addressed, stopped short
and gpzed toward the pulpit
Krother p, continued the parson, there
IL no need Of your leaving the church at this
time; as passed the tavern this morning,
made arrangements with the landlord to keeI
your toddy hot until church was out"
