CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT WATER.-The eN
tent to which water miugleS with bodies ap
parently the most solid, is very wonderful
The glttering opal, which beauty wears as an
ornament, is only flint and water. VI every
twelve hundred tons of earth which land
holder has in his estate, four hundred are
water. The snow-capped submits Of Snow
dom and Ben Nevis have many million tons
Of water in i solidihed form. In every Plaster
Of Paris statue which an Italian carries
through our streets for sale, there is one
pound of water to every four pounds Of chalk.
The air we breathe contains five grains of
water to each cubic foot Of its bulk. The
potatoes and the turnipS which are boiled for
our dinner have in their raw state, the one
seyenty-fre per cent. and the other ninety
per cent of water. Ii man weighing ten
stone were squeezed into an hydraulic press
seven and half stone of water would run
out, and only two and half of dry residue
remain. A man is, chemically speaking,
forty-hve pounds of carbon and nitrogen, dit
fused through five and half pailSfu. OF
water. In plants we hnd water thus ming
ling no less wonderfully. A sun-hower evap-
crates one and quarter piuts OF water a day
and cabbage about the same quantity. a
wheat plant exhales, in 4 hundred and seven
ty-two uayS, ABOUT one III uuleu 'AVuS'iiu
grains of water. An acre OF growing wheat,
on this calculation, draws and passes out
about ten tons OF water per day. The sap of
plants is the medium through which this mass
of fluid is conveyed. 1t forms a delicate
pump, up which the watery particles run
with the rapidity of swift stream. BY the
action of the sap, various properties NAV be
communicated to the growing plant. Tim
Der in France is, for instance, dyed BY various
colorS being mixed with water, and poured
over the root Of the tree. Dahlias are slSo
colored BY similar process.

REBEL NEwsPAPERs.-If society can be
fitly judged by its newspapers, the confedera;
cy must be in frightful bad way. The rebel
journals are all printed on the dingicst paper
imaginable, and the subscription prices are
simply outrageous. The Richmond Exami-
ner charges SIG per pear, the Charleston
Courier SIS, the Savannah Republican $l5,
the Atlanta Ccnfederacy $2+, aud the Angus
Ia Constitutionalist Sl2. The Columbia
South Carolinian SIS per year, and announ-
ces in a recent issue that no more papers will
be sold to vendors, the limited supply of pa
per not warranting any circulation beyond
the regular : bscribers. The Savannah Re-
publican advises its readers not to buy papers
of the carriers, as they are only supplied with
the number needed for subscribers. In addi-
tion to this we see recent statement that
many of the rebel journals are about to sus-
pend on account of the scarcity of materials.
The papers are going the way Of the rebel
ion.

SOUTHERN BLUsTER.-When it was known
that Beauregard was defeated at Shiloh, the
old men Of Memphis, those about fifty years
of age, formed themselves into 4 mammoth
cavalry regiment, having for its object the
total humiliation of the "vandals" under
command of Grant. To make the organiza-
ton more terrible in IT'S effects, a certain oath
was administered to every man, and those
who were not willing to subscribe to it in full
were denounced as towards. The oath had
been administered to about fifty men, all of
whom signed it with will that indicated that
the soil would be bleached with Yankee blood,
when Judge Brown, one of the oldest and
most respected citizens, arose and objected to
the further administration Of the oath till he
had been permitted to make few remarks.
No man could command more respect among
the followers Of Jefferson Davis than that
gentleman. The audience was as quiet as if
at funeral. Judge Brown said: 81 have
been quiet participator in the actions Of
this meeting. So far the proceedings have
been just and proper. A large number Of
men have this evening sworn to meet and
slay ten Yankees. This is as it should be.
There now remain in this room about three
hundred of my fellow-citizens, who like my
self, have passed the meridian of life, and our
powers of endurance are not equal to those
who have already been sworn; therefore
move that the oath be SO amended as to re-
quire of us-I mean those above sixty years
old-to only slay FIVE Yankees. For my part,
l am willing to kill my five, but more than
that number don't feel able to prepare for
their 'long homes.'" On the receipt of the
above speech the meeting adjourned, to con-
vene again to discuss the amendment OF the
Judge. Soon after that the Yankees took
Memphis, and the ten-to-one military organi-
zation came to a sudden conclusion.

An Obstinate Man,

An obstinate man does not hold opin-
ions, but they hold him for when he is
once possessed with an error, it is like
devil, only cast out with great difficulty.
Whatever he lay hold on, like drowning
man, he never loses, though it do help to
sink him the sooner. His ignorance is
abrupt and inaccessible, impregnable both
BY art and nature, and will hold out to the
last, though it has nothing but rubbish to
defend. 1t is as dark as pitch, and sticks
to anything it lays hold on. His skull is
so thick it is proof against any reason, but
never cracks but on the wrong side, just
opposite to that against which the impress
sion is made, to which surgeons say does
happen very frequently. The slighter and
more inconsistent his opinions are, the
faster he holds them, otherwise they would
fall asunder of themselves; for opinions
that are false ought to be held with more
strictness than those that are true, other
wise they will be apt to betray their
owners before they are aware. He de-
lights most of all, to differ in things in
different; no matter how frivolous they
are, they are weighty enough in proportion
to his weak judgment ; and he will rather
suffer martyrdom than part with the least
scruple of his freehold for it is impossible
to dye his dark ignorance into any lighter
color. He is resolved to understand no
other mans reason but his own, because
he finds no man can understand his but
himself. His wits are like sack, which
the French proverb says is tied faster be-
fore it is full than when it is not; and his
opinions are like plants that grow upon
rocks, that stick fast though they have no
roofing. His understanding is hardened
like Pharaoh's heart, and is proof against
allsorts ofjudgments whatsoever.-ButIer.

THE CoNoUESTs OF RCSSIA.-Thc con-
quests of Russia within the last 60 years are
equal to all that she possessed in Europe be-
fore that period; her acquisitions from Swc-
den are as large as all that remains Of that
kingdom the territory taken from the Tar
tars is equal in extent to Turkey in Europe,
with Greece, Italy and Spain; the portion Of
Turkey in Europe annexed to Russia is as
large as Prussia without the Rhenish provin-
ces; her conquests in Asiatic Turkey COM
prise as much territory as is contained in all
the smaller German States from Persia she
has taken country as large as England, and
portion of Poland is equal TO the whole OF the
Austrian Empire. On examining the COM
position of her population, it will be found
to consist of 100000 of Caucasian tribes;
4,0OO, 900 of Cossacks, kirghs, and Georgi-
ans; 100000 Turks, Moguls and TartarS,
c, ,O0O, 900 Swedes, Finlandcrs and Uralians
and %, 100000 Poles of either the Catholic
or Russian national religions-in all 60,00O,-
900. The population OF Poland forms two
fifths OF the whole number, and is con-
tanned on one-eighth Of the entire territory.
These different populations have, during the
entire past century been undergoing dena-
tionalization which, if it could be realized,
would be one of the most considerable con-
quests ever made by any nation. The above
refers to the past. Supposing, for the future,
that Russia would be satisfied with complet-
ing the union of the slave populations which
she has partly conquered, with the Tartar ma
tions, of which she possesses a portion, and
the populations of the Greek Church, the
protection of which on the Danube and in
the Ottoman Empire she claims, her increase
would be as follows: In addition to the Co.
100000 souls above enumerated, she would
have the slave population Of Austria, ID :
100000; the slave population Of Prussia,
1000. 900; the Roumain and Servain nations
Of the Greek Church, 100000; and lastly,
the peoples of Turkish and Tartar origin and
others, 20,000,000. The whole would form a
population of more than 100000, 900 inhabi-
tants which she would hold at her DISPOSE
ton, supposing, we repeat, that she should
think fit to limit herself to completing the
conquest already commenced-that is to say,
the Greek and Tartar elements. France, in
1852, by throwing herself between Nicholas |
and the pretended "dying man" who still
lives, efficaciously delayed the completion Of
the conquest of the Greek and Tartar ma
tions. By the present events in Poland, the
slave element is, however, more and more
compromised.

A GENTLEMAN who was recently united
in the bonds of matrimony, to the lovely
daughter of one Of our most respected cltl-
zens, lust before the ceremony, received a
one-hundred dollar bill from his papa-in-
law, as a trifie of "pin-money for his
wife. He slipped the money under his
glove, where he had already placed FIVE
dollar bill intended for the officiating cler-
gyman. In the delirious excitement of
the tn hour, he pressed into the hand of the
minister the wrong bill, and as the parties
never look at the money on such occa-
sions, neither of them discovered the mis-
take until some hours afterward. What
was the surprise of the bride when her
husband handed her a five-dollar bill,
with the remark that it was "a little pin
money" from her father: ~ should
think it was little" said the lady; and
then the mistake came out. Neither the
bride nor the groom would, of course, be
so discourteous as to think of claiming
restitution for such an error, at such a
time, and the clergyman was overpowered
with the liberaity of young -. The
lady told the +" funny incident to friend
or two, however, and the clergyman un.
derstands it now.-Chicago Tribune. .-

Bo-TREE, "the oldest tree in the world.
An extraordinary tree is stated by Sir j.
Emerson to exist in the island Of Cevlou. 1t
is known as the Bo-troe, Of Anar-ajapsora,
aud is, in all probability, the oldest histori-
cal tree in the world. II was planted 2SS
years before Christ, and hence is now 2, l49
years old. Ages varying from 1000 to l,5OO
years have been assigned to the baobabs OF
Senegal, eucalyptus OF Tasmania, the dragon
tree Of Grotavo, and the chestnut Of Mount
Etna. But all these estimates are matters
of conjecture, and such calculations, how
ever ingenious, must be purely inferential ;
whereas the age Of the Bo-trec is a matter of
record; its conServaney has been all object
of solicitude to successive dynastieS, and the
story of its vicissitndes has been preserved
in series of continuous chronicles among
the most authentic that have been handed
down to mankind. Compared with it, the
Oak of Ellerslie is but a sapiing, and the
Conqueror'S Oak in Windsor forest, barely
numbers half its years. The Yew-treeS OF
Fountain Abbey are believed to have tiou-
rished there twelve hundred years ago; the
olives in the garden Of Gethsemane were
full grown when the Saracens were expelled
from Jerusalem; and the cypress Of Soma,
in Lombardy, is said to have been n tree in
the time Of Julius Caesar: yet the Bo-tree is
older than the Oldest Of those by century,
and would almost to seem to verify the pro-
phecy pronounced when it was planted, that
it would " flourish and be green forever"

An CNcEREMoSIoUs FATHER.-In one
of the interior towns Of New Jersey, some
miles distant from the Amboy Central
Railroad, where the inhabitants never had
the pleasure of coming in contact with
that pure-minded and liberal corporation,
consequently are honest and humane,
lived old Mr.. Green, singular and eccen-
tric genius. He was widower, well of,
and blessed with the prettiest daughter
that New Jersey could boast Of. Of
course she had lover. All cookbook
ing girls have beaux; so Martha Green
was not an exception to the general rule /;
but her father was so singular, or else
thought so much of her that Martha's 'fel-
ler' didn't like to hint to the old man that
he would like to provide for his child, and
do the best he could for her. 1t was in
vain that Martha urged Frank, her beau,
to have private talk with her father.
The old man didn't like to be talked to,
and if q word was forced from him it was
generally an oath, and a disagreeable one
at that but after Martha had inspired him
with some courage, it was with serious
misgivings that he started in search of Mr..
Green, for the purpose of opening his
heart and mind at the same time. Frank
found the old man hard at work on pig
pen. The old gentleman did not and
would not notice his visitor, so Frank off
with his coat and lent a helping hand.
He sweated and inwardly cursed the work
but not word was exchanged between
the parties until the Den was completed
and as the last nail was driven home,
Frank said, in trembling tones: "Mr.
Green, 1 love Martha Humph :"
growled the old fellow. "Can have
her :" "Take her, and be id" was
the surly answer, and the old fellow went
to supper. Frank did take her, and has
never been sorry for the act.

THE TRUTH OccAsIoNALLY.-Once in a
great while there is an out-spoken Copper
head editor, who tells the leaders the truth.
The editor Of the Council Bluffs Bugle is one
of that kind. What he says about platforms
is very opportune with the Copperheads in
this State, who are about to make platform
to be voted for instead of candidate. The
Buqle says: "The Democratic party has
been led for the last few years by men who
did not care a straw whether the principles
laid down by the party at its conventions
tended to the continuance Of our free insti-
tutions, or to their overthrow and the estab,
lishment of a monarchy. They never asked
the question, whittier are we tending ? nor
did they care, so long as they saw chance
for Office, through the adoption of a wisha-
washa, non -committal platform, upon which
they could safely ride into the haven of a good
fat Office. II we look back but few years,
we will not fail to discover the class OF men
who are always on hand at Democratic CON
yentions, and who shaped the policy, OF the
party regardless Of principle, so that the pol
lev adopted gave them prospect OF retain.
ing or getting into an Office" II this is not
a good daguerreotype Of modern Democracy
let the party sit for another picture.
