An Economical Pump,

An amusing illustration of ingenuity
appears in NJ. M.Babbage's story of an Ital-
ian gentleman who devised a plan for
keeping his pump at work with but lit
tie expense to himself; "The garden
wall of his villa adjOined the great high
road leading from one of the capitals Of
northern Italy (Turin,) from which it
was distant but few miles. Possessing
within his garden a fine spring of water,
he erected on the outside of the wall a
pump for public use, and claiming to it
a small iron ladle, he placed near it some
rude seats for the weary traveller, and by
slight roof of climbing plants protect
ed the whole from the midday sun. In
this delightful shade the tired and thirs-
ty travellers, on that well-beaten road,
ever and anon repoSed and refreshed
themselves, and did not fail to put in re-
QUESTION the service of the pump so op-
portunely presented to them. From
morning till night manya dusty and way
worn pilgrim piled the handle, and went
on his way, blessing the liberal proprie-
tor for his kind consideration of the
passing stranger.
But the owner of the villa was deeply
acquainted with human nature. HC
knew in that sultry climate that the
liquid would be more valued from it
scarcity, and from the difficulty of &C
quirimg it. He therefore, to enhanc,
the value of the gift, wisely arranged thc
pump 50 that its spout was Of rathe
contracted dimensions, and the handle
required a moderate application Of fOrcc
to work it. Under these circumstance
the pump raised far more water thar
could pass through its spout; and to pre-
vent its being wasted, the surplus wa
conveyed by an invisible channel to
large reservoir judiciously placed for wa
tering the proprietOr's own houses, sta
bles and garden-iDtO which about fv
pints we're poured for every one passini
out of the spout for the benefit of tn
weary traveller. Even this latter portion
was not neglected, for the waste-pipe con
veyed the part which ran over from tn
ladle to some delicious strawberry-bed
at lower levell''

Eat Bread.

WHEN beef is worth twenty-five to thirty
cents per pound, potatoes two dollars bush
el, and other articles of food in proportion, it
becomes important to know what possesses
the most tuttiment, and is at the same time
the ftost ecofiomicai. Without doubt that
article is bread, as the experience of all who
live to mans estate abundantly proves. 1t is
the first and almost the only food known to
chiidret's appetites and of which children of
large growth seldom tire. A stronger argu-
meht in favor of bread could not be given,
than that natural, unsatisfed longing for it
which. as the horse Graves oats, shows ito be
natures main support. As to its nourishing
propensities, it is asserted that it contains
three times as much meat as roast beef. Five
hundred pounds of -four gives to the body
thirty pounds of the substance that makes
bones, while the same quantity Of bran gives
one hundred and twenty potnds.
This bony substance is one of the indispen-
sible elements of the human body, and which
is thought to be impaired by bread in great
er degtee than by any other food. As to its
economy, flour is hardly ever as expensive,
relatively, as meat. Even at the present time,
the price of one pound Of meat would buy
three pounds OF flour, or bread, and those
three pounds of bread furnish as much nour-
ishment to the eater as nine pouads of good
roast beef In dollars and cents, three pounds
of beef are two dollars and twenty-five cents
Leaving a balance Of two dollars in favor Of
the bread. A person once tried the expert
ment, to see how cheaply he could live, for a
certain length of time, and from which food
he derived the most benefit at the least cost.
The result was-he lived for thirteen weeks,
and ate three meals a day, at cost Of only
tft7y cents a week, or six dollars and fifty cents
| for the whole time, and bread was his princi-
pal article of food. His health was remark
ably good during that period, and his fate was
not like horse that died when his food was
reduced to one oat per day. It is but just to
state that the above experiment was made Of
a time when flour was much cheaper than al
present, although the relative difference in the
cost Of articles now would make the tes
equally fair. The kind of bread used is nO
so essential, although a certain portion Ofmea
mixed with the fine flour, and little of thc
bran from which the Graham crackers ar
made, added to it, probably makes NOR,
wholesome bread. The subject IS worthy 0
serious attention at this or any other time, a
we'll for the benefit Of health as that of OF
oyer-taxed pCckstbooks.-M Y Sun.

4 Chinese Execution,

A correspondent of the SeOtchnaan,
writing from Shanghac, on May 10, says:
The event of yesterday was the ezecu-
ton of a native, by name A. King
This man murdered, about two months
ago, naval officer, Mr.. John P, Dove.
The deed was perpetrated under peculiar
circumstances, and for nearly the time
mentioned the assassin was at large
He was captured very cleverly. Some
Cantonese women whom he had been
robbing were determined not to give him
up. They watched at the Soochow-
creek bridge (Which separates the Eng
lish from the American settlement,)
keeping guard in turn. A policeman in
plain clothes was also with them. One
Sunday morning he was seen coming
over the bridge. The policeman rushed
at him, and after desperate struggle
took him. The rascal fred revolver,
but the shot missed its mark. He was
examined at the consulate and sent into
the city, where, being tortured to within
an inch of his life, he confessed his
guilt and also gave up the names of
gang of thieves over whom he presided.
The tortures he underwent were horri-
bic. Among others, thin splints were
inserted under his finger nails, then COW
cred with liquid of some kind, which
were set fire to. You can fancy the ag-
onv the poor wretch suffered. The Chi
neso authorities having got all they could
out of him, announced to the English
consul they were ready to execute him.
The announcement made a stir, and
large numbers of foreigners assembled
at the South Gate yesterday morning
about 9 o'clock. The hour was 10 A.
NJ. At 0:3O crowds of foreigners came
rushing up, hot, eager, and anxious tc
see the culprit. About 9:45 the tinkling
t Of bells announced the arrival of the
| procession. An official, with fox's tai
in his hat, came cantering up, (the bells

THE Abolitionists are greatly distress
ed, just now, at the so-called 'incOnsist-
ency" of the Chicago Convention, in
nominating a military hero upon peace
platform. They forget that our fathers
elected General Washington twice upon
peace platrormj and they forget, too
that there is such thing as being "frst
in war, and first in peace" and that al
least one man of this character was also
called the "frst in the hearts Of his coun
trymen." The Abolitionists seem t
have fallen into the unaccountable errol
of thinking that because a man is quail
fed to marshal men in battle, he mus
necessarily be the enemy of peace, evel
among his own countryn6n. Therefore
while they are prating about DemOcrati
inconsistency in supporting Mcclellan
they are simply advertising their own ex
ceeding ignorance.
