Ia The piles sustaining the London
Bridge have been driven five hundred years.
In ls45 they were critically examined and
found to have been decayed but slightly,
these piles are principally Of elm. Old Sa-
voy Place. in the city Of London, is sus-
tanned on piles six undred and fifty years
old; they consist Of oak, elm. beach and
chesnut, and are perfectly sound. The
bridge built by tue Emperor Trajan over

Of the durability Of timber in the wet

The GLORY OF THESE TIMEs.-The
greatest glory Of these times, lies not in
the triumphs Of the battle fields, not ID the
victories Of physical force not in the splen-
did successes Of military skill; not even in
the saving Of nations lie; but it lis il
the noble qualities Of manhood li,as the
time has called forth; in the capacities for
firm endurance and uncomplaining suffer
ing that are everywhere displayed; in the
heroism, devotion and self sacrifice with
which so many youth and men Of Lie no.
blest stamp have left all that is attractive az
home to give themselves TO their country !,
in the beautiful submisslveness and heroic
generosity Of the homes that have opened
their doors and consented to be robbed Of
their dearest treasures that the nation and
humanity may be enriched ii Tie ll.oj ;,!
sympath. and chariti that have made
every community and almost eyeiy home
among us holier; il the extraordinary forti-

soldiers 10 the hospitals; and, finally IN the
triumph which through all these sublime
qualities and deeds is being achieved for the
sacred principles that are the true iuspila-

USE THE KITCHEN SLoPs.--English
agricultural papers just now are full Of az
ticles upon the use Of sewerage or waste Of
cities. Bringing this subject down to indi-
viduals, we might write long article on
the waste Of the house, had not the subject
been 50 frequently presentd in our columns.
Again we say allow no fertilizing material
to 90 to waste. The water from the kitch-
en- is rich in its elements of fertility. The
soap used in washing, pot. liquor salt, DC,
are ali needed in the garden, and will am
ply repay for saving and applying to the
plants. On many farms the sink spout
discharges into a gutter, and the waste wa
ter is. allowed to soak away or evaporate.
Just along the edges of this gutter will be
found a most luxuriant growth of weeds,
showing plainly that the ground here is
richer than elsewhere. Lot the kitchen
waste be collected in Q sunken hogshead or
cistern, and applied, in a liquid form, to the
plants IN The garden, on run it to aconyen-
lent distance from the house to an excavs-
lion which eau be readily supplied with
muck, which will absorb the liquid, and
many dollars worth Of manure now annu-
ally wasted, viii be saYed.--Scientitfc

a TELEGRAPHIc WoNDER.-The follow
inc account of an extraordinary French
telegraphic invention is given by the Paris
correspondent of the London Star:
The Able Cassell's pantelegraph is taken
up by the Government. A project Of a
law was recently presented 10 the Corps
LegisIatiff. which proposes that it should
supefcede the Morse apparatus now in uni
versal use. The pantelegraph is one Of the
greatest scientific wonders of the 6ay. II
is properly enough termed here an auto
graph and amatuer. A dispatch written at
Pals is reproduced with out the assistance
Of clerk at MalseilIss with the most rig
orous fidelity, as is also portrait, sketch or
drawing Of any kind. Nor does Casselrs
need SO great supply Of cleo
tricity as that Of Morse, and is much less
affected BY the condition Of the atmosphere
The Empress lately had her likeness tel

days ago,s. telegraphed TO Marseiles,s by

EMANCIPATION IN RUssIA.-The follow
ing is an extract Of letter written by a
gentleman who is at present travelling in
Russia. and published in the New York
papers:
The emancipation Of the serfs is no
"sham," but great and noble reality, car
ried through with caution and courage
that do equal honor to the head an heart
Of The Emperor. 1t is scarcely possible to
measure the grandure Of this peaceful rev
oluiion. by which nearly 40,000.000 Of peo-
pie are raised from condition closely akin
to slavery. to The level of free men Of otter
civilized States. This great act is cousum
mated with comparatively little suffering,
and large prospects Of future advantages
to the mobiles and proprietors of land, save
only those whose estates should come under
an Incumbered Estates act. The emanci--
pated serls are also displaying degree Of
intelligence and industry that surprises their
former owners; establishing schools, laying
out boarded money on lantls and tencmcDts
and in other respects showing great intelli-
gence and sagscity.
