The following letter has just been received
from John Bright, esq, acknowledging the
receipt of FIRE screen which was presented
to him by subscription at the Philadelphia
Sanitary Fair held in June last:
RocHpALE, Sept. 10, 1854.
DEAR MADAM: Mr.. Dudley has forwarded
to me the beautiful "Banner Screen which
has been presented to me by yourself and 9TH
eFs of my friends from the Central Fair at
Philadelphia. ! write to thank you for it, and
to say how much value this expression of
your good opinion of me. The screen itself is
Somewhat too brilliant for the moderate ap-
pointments of my dining-room, but it is great
iy admired by my wife, and by all the men,
bers of my family.
cannot thank all those who subscribed for
1t, but appreciate their kind feeling towards
me. watch every step of your great con-
fict with intense interest, with as much inter-
est, think, as If I were citizen of your
country. regard it as struggle, the result
of which will fix for ages, it may be, the char
acter and fate Of your continent, and which
will influence all, the interest of freedom
throughout the world. On your coming Pres
idential election much will depend. hope
there Is virtue enough in the North to support
the Administration In its efforts to restore the
Union and to purge the country from the curse
and guilt Of Slavery. 0aa
have had faith in your great cause from
the beginning, and win still hope and believe.
With warm thanks for your kind remem-
brance Of me, am, with the highest respect,
yours truly, JOHN BRIGHT.

To Young Wives


When young wife first settles in her new
home, many excellent persons, withmore zeal
1t may be, than discretion, Immediately pro
pose that she should devote some of her leis
ure time to charitable purposes; such, for in.
stance, as clothing societies ior the poor, OF
schools, or DISTINGUISHING. We say, In all
earnestness, to our young friend, engage In
nothing of the kind, however laudable, with
out previously consulting your husband, and
having his full concurrence. Carefully avoid
also, being induced by any specious argument
to attend eveninglectures, unless he accompa.
MES you. Remember that your Heavenly
Father, who has given you home to dweilin,
requires from you right performance Of it's
duties; win your husband, by all gentle lappli-
ances, to love religion, but do not, for the sake
even OF privilege and blessing, leave him to
spend his weekday. evenings alone. Look Of
ten on your marriage ring, and remember the
sacred VOWS taken by you when the ring was
given.

Facts Concerning Ivory.


England consumes 1000, 700 pounds of ivory
annually, or the products of 1888 elephants
About 1000 men are annually killed in the ell
ephant hunts. A tusk weighing 20 pounds is
considered first-class one. A short time ago
an American firm cut up a tusk which was not
less than feet in length and 8 inches in diam
eter, and weighed 300 pounds. In 1851 the
same house sent to the London Exhibition the
largest piece of sawed ivory ever seen; It was
IL feet In length and foot broad. The dear
est ivory is that which is used for billiard balls
Since the conquest of Algeria by France, the
ivory trade has considerably increased In the
north of Africa. The hippopotamus also yields
ivory which is much harder and less elastic
than that OF the elephant, besides being OF
small Dimensions.
Thus it seems that IL takes on an average
nearly one and quarter human lives for eve-
nv 5000 pounds of ivory. Truly human life ia
a cheap article when measured by the demands
of commercei Our modern civilization boasts
that its great recommendation is that it pro-
tects life and adds to its comforts and securi-
ty. This may be so at home, but how is ii IL
fancy or selfinterest require great outlay of
human life for its accomplishment? The in
vestment is ready, and humanity goes into the
crucible as freely as the old Druids consume d
the ancient Celts in the worship Of their gods,
or the Aztecs broiled children for the glory of
the sun. ~ q q = iIlas

Where Lust at Sea Comes From.

The ocean is about the last place where
one would expect to be annoyed with dust
yet vast volumes of it sometimes sweep over
the Atlantic, and still more frequently over
the Mediterranean. Not long ago vessel
that had been out in a dust storm at sea ar
rived In port. The crew declared that the
efying dirt" almost choked and blinded them !;
and although sailors yarns are not always
framed with 9 single eye to truth there was
nothing in the story itself which initiated
against its credibility. Its well known that
dust showers sometimes occur at distances of
from 200 to 500 miles from land. The par
ticles are generally of brick-dust hue, and
they have been known to fall so thickly as to
make the sea zone red" as far as the eye
could reach. Doctors disagree as to the orr
gin of the phenomenon. Two facts which
have recently come to light, seem, however,
TO settle the question defnitiyely. One is,
that the ingredients Of the dust are every
where the same the other, that these ingredi-
ents are exclusively South American. Ami
malcule, and the debris Of animalcul@, found
only on that continent, are uniformly present
In the Mediterranean siroccos, the Cape de
Verde sand blasts, and the dust drifts occa-
sinnally met with In the neighbOrhood Of the
Azores. The theory is, that the material is
taken up from the parched pampas of equa
torial America by whirlwinds, and carried by
the trade winds to distant latitudes.

Vienna is to have full supply Of pure and
wholesome water, which it has much wanted.
Tue following gives US some idea OF the plan
An aqueduct is to start from the foot OF the
eemmering, and not to fall short OF the stu
pendeus aqueducts of the Romans. Three
springs which rise at the foot ofthe pass, and
furnish the purest and coolest water, are to
be chosen for the purpose. Their water has
+ been-ProYed by chemical analysis, equal to the
best drinking water, and the amount they give
will sufiiee amply for the wants of Vienna
The aqueduct is to run at a height of two hum
dred and hity feet, and to have a length of
twelve or thirteen geographical miles, while
the network OF pipes intersecting the town,
without counting the pipes Of the houses them
selves, is to attain length Of thirty -four geo.
e aphical miles, 1t is calculated that the whole
work will take four or five years to complete,
and that the cost will be sixteen millions o
iorlns-one million six hundred thousand
pounds sterling. 4

FALSE SYMPATHY. The opponents OF the
war affect great sympathy for those persons
who have lost their kindred in battle. But
the bereaved by this war are, with few dis
honorable exceptions, the most strenuous ad-
yocates of prosecution, in the face OF every
obstacle and discouragement. Well does that
bravely conducted journal, the Catholic Tele-
graph of CINCINNATI, remark: every battle
cause Of Justice, and law, and human freedom
shall be securely triumphant. Eoery soldier
dead In this tuqr Is a reason tchy 1t shoald be
put dsrough.v Those who would stop this
war because Of their holy horror OF bloodshed,
would plant the seeds Of interminable blood
shed for the future.

PoruLARIrY.-A great many people at tho
present day think more Of obtaining publicit y
and popularity, than Of any other one thing
they could possibly be possessed of. But,
anxious as they may be to acquire the vain
glory of the popular voice, none ever succeeded
to SO great an extent as has that world
renowned remedy known as Goes Cough
Balsam There is scarcely family in the
land but what considerd a supply of this article
as necessary to the household as their Aeur or
provisions. Experience has taught the people
that no other remedy has ever been put before
the public that will cure coughs, colds, Group,
sore throat, and in fact all throat and lung
complaints, as quickly and AS effectually a.
Goes Cough Balsam. In the Eastern States,
where it has been long known and tested, it 10
considered as the most reliable cough remedy
extant, and no one, either rich or poor, thinks
of being without it. We would suggest to all
our readers the necessity Of keeping on hand
an article of this kind for immediate use. 1t
costs but doc per bottle, and is sold at all our
drug stores, and is the cheapest and best rem
edy in the world.
