Queries.

Mr.. EDITOR Among your correspon-
dents competent to the task, will some one
have the kindness to furnish me, through your
columns, with correct answers to the follow
ing questions:
l. Is stormy weather more prevalent at or
for weeks preceding or succeeding the time
when the sun ''crOsses the line than at any
other season of the year? In other words, is
not the "equinoctial Storm" which the news
papers always makes such an ado about, al.
together an old wives tradition, quite on a
par with those changes of weather which an
absurd superstition suppoSes to be caused by
the changes Of the moon?
2 If the water in brimful tumber does
not run over when a few dozen pins are
dropped into the same, is it because these
pins occupy the infnitesimal spaces between
the particles of water, or because the water,
displaced by the pins, is prevented from over
flowing by the attraction which holds it to the
edges OF the lumber, just as the reverse hap
pens when the wick of lighted lamp is draw
ing up the central portions of the oil?
J. have one or two other questions per-
tanning to gallinaceous literature,-to use a
big word. Does a hen ever "set," as the sun
and moon do, or in any sense whatever?
When we cause hen to incubate, 60 we not
cause her to SIT, or sat her, just as we cause
horse to work, or eoork hinlP And if so, did
l commit grammatical error by chalking on
the cid flour barrel, wherein my speckled bid
dy went into It domestic way, last summer
''Sat, the goth of June"
Whoever will answer correctly the above
queries will enlighten the ignorance of

Patriotic CENTENNARIENNE.-A vener-
able lady of ELIZABETH, New Jersey, now in
her ninety eighth year, who has hitherto in
vested her property i'll bonds and mortgages
on real estate lis atfording the best possible
security, having recently had il considerable
sum Of money paid into her hands, declared
she preferred to lend this time to the govern
ment; it presented, she believed the very
best security; if it Jailed everything else
would go down with it, and she accordingly
ly directed that the amount in hand should be
invested at once in government bonds
This patriotic matrOn remembers distinctly
the events of the revolution. She spent an
entire winter in the same house with General
Washington at Morristown. Her first visit to
New York she made in a British barge, which
brought company of the Elizabeth bellies of
that day on an excursion up the bay. Hav-
ing seen the foundations of the republic laid
in her youth she now contributes her mite in
hale old aye 10 its support against treason and
rebellion.-N Y. EUening Post.

marvelously well, however, and so does the
temple, though a much less noise brought
down the walls of Jericho. In the temple the
gods and worshippers are so numerous that
one calls them no longer John, but le-
gion. You stumble over Il little god
on the floor, or precipitate your head into
the stomach of a big one braced against the
altar. The big ones number two. and face
each other in Cog and Magog style. In
height they are AnakS, each standing Il good
eight feet above the level of the floor, with
out counting in slight wrinkle in the back,
which would give them few inches more
were it ironed out. Each one has Il foot
perched on a suppoSitious rock, while the
other rests on paper tiger-they seem to
have been bucking against the tiger all the way
through. One holds a golden apple in his
hand, plucked from no one knows what Hes
perides; the other grasps golden wreath.
They are spangled like harlequins and beard.
ed and moustached like bogus barons.
chronic ldssitude rests on their features-prob-
ably occasioned by having been up all night.
Before them is spread either late break
fast or an early lunch, but they seem in no
hurry to attack it. Undoubtedly they feel
safe in the assurance that no one else viii
eat it. Ranged around the wall, in convent
ent little sentry boxes. stand fudgy little gods,
with splay feet. These be the common
"JOsses" of the concern. One of them is
habited like christian martyr, and has the
dolorous look of one condemned to be burned.
The apprehension seems not entirely ground
less, as number of torches are lighted close
to his feet. Should they burn on, the specta-
Gle would probable be furnished of a baked
tomato. The worshippers in the purlieus of
the temple are not very devout. They loaf
about and take all sorts OF liberties With their
gods, even to the occasional smuuchng of a
tSm-cOd from their breakfast table. There
are dowagers with head dresses which tower
up i'll crinigerous Babels, and danseis with
eyes more clam-shell than almond shell
shaped. There are male Chinaman having
the look OF Chimpanzees, and others dandified
enough III appearance to stand as lay figures
in BARRIERS windows. Altogether, the picture
is motley one, and well worth seeing, but
curious visitors should be vaccinnated before
entering the synagogue and carry smelling
salts with them.
How long will they maintain their idola-
trous worship in the full blaze of the light
which christian community sheds? Or is
it unfair to call them dolators when these I'M
ages which they make unto themselves are
not made Sin the shape OF anything in the
heavens above, in the earth beneath, or in the
waters under the earth?" Will ever an Icon
oclast come along and send these paper DEF !
ties flying higher than kite? will these Thors
finally be broken with their own hammers? or
will this people go on chanting barbarous
hymns through their noses and beating tom
toms to the honor of their tom tOmcods and
tom-tomgods 10 the end Of another century?

The Chinese are having a great time in
their temple on Sacramento street just now.
Evidently the festival is of a religious char
acter, though whether the proceeds are to be
devoted to canceliing mortgage upon their
church, or to sending out Pagan missiona-
rles to win over the christian believers to
buddhism, is more than inquisitiveness itself
has been able to ascertain. The first thing
winch strikes the visitor on entering their
sanctuary is a most ancient and tish-like
smell, and if he approaches the altar ne will
discover that the breath OF the gods smells
strangely OF stale salmon. Evidently their
drink Is not nectar, neither is it possible that
thelr Nlctuas are ambroSia. The first object
Oh Chihese alteration that meets the eve is
q high and hilarious god, standing some
seven or eight feet high in his stockings. and
flourishing II cigar in his left hand like :.
Montgomery street swell. The attitude of
this idol is not very graceful, while his legs
widely spread apart, and the air with which
lie braces back against the wall, suggest that
he is under the influence of the rosy All to-
gcthcr, he has Il cOnvivial look about him
highly cheerful to behold, and the effect is
heightened by two horns with serrated edges
which srrout gaily from behind lis ears. His
belly is nI0deled IKE bass drum, but is SO
mic ely adjusted as not to seriously interfere
with the even tenor Of his whole contour.
Passing On and ascending narrow and
filthy staircase, we inl a balcony, gay with
flags and lanterns, and Illuminated with

bly, pregnant with the wisdom of the immortal

cius. We may very well conclude that the
books which lie open-but shut so far as our
understanding is concerned--betore US, are
the Solida Declarito and the Concorde For
mula OF their peculiar church. Here the
sound Of music is loud--reckess disciples
play crashing anvil choruses upon immense
gongS, while milder-mannered musicians keep
up rafting accompaniment on kettle drums,
blended with symphony OF shrill notes from
the lips of cracked flies. The gods stand il

UNsELFIsH GENERosITY.-Count L. B.
Schwabe, native of Germany, is at present
stopping in Waltham. His liberality to our
soldiers in the field seems to know no bound.
Package after package, box after box, to the
value of hundreds of dollars has been sent to
the Waltham soldiers-men who are to him
entire strangers. He has room at his hotel
which is filled with useful articles and delica-
cies for the soldiers, only waiting to be packed
and forwarded. Such unselfish generosity as
this, emanatng as it does from foreigner,
and from a man who has a brother who is a
colonel in the rebel army, deserves more than
a passing notice. He is not connected with
any sanitary or soldiers aid society; he ac-
cepts no contributions, but all his gifts are
from his own private purse.-BoSton Journal

CHESS PLAYING ExTRAoRDINARY.-It is
stated in a letter from Berlin: "The won
derful feat of Herr Paulsen, the great chess
player, recently accomplished at Dusseldorf,
seems to equal, if not to mock, anything
ever heard of, as to the mathematical and
combining powers of the human mind. AT
a congress of the Rhenish chess clubs, Herr
Paulsen played ten games at a time, fight
ing twenty opponents at every board, and
continuing for fifteen hours unremittingly.
At the end of this extraordinary effort, rem.
dered more difficult by turning his back to
the boards, and opposing players of tried
mettle, he had lost three games, won three,
and came to draw in the case of the four
others. The monster contest lasted from
halt-past two to half past five in the morn
ing While it was going on Herr Paulsen
never left the chair, placed at some distance
from the boards, and at the further end of
the platform erected at one side of the hail.

JEFF DAVIS IN CHARLESTON Though care
fully covered over with the mantle of secrecy
by congress, enough has been disclosed by
stern realities to show the total incompetency
of President Davis to govern the affairs of the

of both the army and the people; and if an
election to- morrow was to come off for the
presidency, we believe that he would not get

ALTERED GREEN. AcKs.-The altered
$50 treasury notes are well calculated
to deceive those not well acquainted
with the genuine bill, These notes are
altered from two's, United States trea-
sury notes, in the following Manner
Over the figure in the right and left
upper corners Of the note the figures so
are neatly pasted. The small figures
appearing around the larger figures
are blotted out with a green ink re-
sembling the ''patent green" tint. The
word ''two," which appears eleven
times in scroll work lengthwise across
the top of the bill, is bloited out By the
green ink. The same is done with the
words "two," appearing in the scroll
work in the lower.right hand corner of
the bill. directly above the name "F.
w. Spinner, Treasurer" &c. The
word "ffty" is neatly pasted over the
word two" at the right ofthe vignette.
The Roman II In the lower len hand
corner of the bill is obliterated by the
green ink, and is completely hid. The
reverse side Of the bill is made entirely
green, except in the central portion,
where the words "This note Ia a legal
tender, &c." appear. A dot of green
is placed upon every one Of the almost
2's on the back. AL
together the notes are well calculated to
deceive. There are a large number Of
hem.
