Wonders of Geology.

More than nine thousand different
kinds of animals have been changed into
stone. The races or genera of more than
half of these are now extinct, not being
at present known in living state. From
the remains of some or these ancient
animals, they must have been larger than
any living animals now known upon the
face of the earth. The Megatherium,
(Great Beasts says Buckland, from a
skeleton nearly perfect, in the Museum
at Mardrid, was perfectly colossal. With
a head and neck like those of sloth, it's
legs and feet exhibit those of the armadillo
and the anteater. Its fore feet were a
yard in length and more than twelve in
ches wide, terminated by gigantic claws,
its thigh bone was nearly three times as
thick as that of the elephant, and its tail
nearest the body, was six feet in circum-
ference. Its tusks were admirably fitted
for cutting vegetable substances, and its
general structure and strength were in
tended to fit it for digging in the ground
for roots, on which it principally fed.

Petroleum VS.. Toothache.

This city is the grand centre for gold,
oil and coal spectators. The Girard
House is the scene of many an interest
ing speculation. Every man you meet
there has just the biggest thin in Penn
sylvania in the shape of one of these lot
teries. Harry Kanega, mine host of the
Girard, relates the following joke, and as
it illustrates the popularmania, we add it
to the long catalogue of anecdotes relat-
ing to oil:
"a gentleman, apparently in great
agony, holding his hand to his face, was
walking up and down the corridor, when
he was approached BY q symapthizing
stranger, who kindly inquired what the
trouble was. The sufferer replied that
he was sorely afflicted with the toothache.
The sympathetic gentleman at once re-
commended the application of crude
petroleum to the diseased grinder, and
producing bottle of the sweet-smelling
liquid, advised him to try it at once, at
the same time telling him it would relieve
him instantly. The sufferer replied that
he could not do SO at present, as he had
to attend meeting of the board of bro
kers that afternoon, and if the members
of the board got smell of lie upon him,
they would have pump in his mouth in
five enthusiastically Mercury.

A New Use for Old Nails.

It is stated as new discovery that
wonderful effect may be obtained by wa
tering fruit trees and vegetables with a
solution of sulphate of iron. Under this
system beans will grow to nearly double
the size,' and will acquire a much more
savory taste. The pear seems to be par
ticularly well adapted for this treatment.
Old nails thrown into water and left to
rust there will impart to it all the ne
cessary qualifications offorcing vegetation
as described.

General tackson's Motto.

"Think before you act, but when the
time for action comes, stop thinking. -
This is the true doctrine. Many men
fail in life and go down to the grave with
hopes blasted and prospect of happiness
unrealized, because they did not adopt
and act upon this motto. Nothing SO
prepares man for action as thought ;
but nothing so units man for action
in the course of action. Better by far
adopt some course and pursue it energeti-
calIy, even though it may not be the best,
than to keep continually thinking without
action. "Go ahead" ought to be printed
in every young mans hat, and read un, IN,
till it becomes part OF his nature, until
he can act upon his judgement, and not
be turned from his course by every wind
of interested advice. In conclusion, we
would say ''Thlnk before you act but
when the time for action comes, stop think
ing"

A Remarkable Prophecy.

Not long ago was found at Toledo, in
Spain, In a monastery, paper contain
ing the following prophecy :-"In the far
west, beyond the ocean, will rise nation
which will be great in power and wealth,
and Satan, in one of his walks to and fro
in the earth, will observe this nation, and,
determined to destroy their happiness,
will there send two monsters, one to the
North and the other to the South, and he
will give them strawberries, and they will
eat them and, after they have eaten, they
will feel great thirst, not to be quench-
ed with anything but blood. They will,
therefore, cause the brother slay the bro
ther, the father to slay the son, and the
son the father, and they will drink the
blood of the slain, and it will bring Ia
mentatiou and wailing throughout the
land. And when the time is fulfilled,
there will arise a strong man in the
North, who will take the monsters and
bind them and draw them into the sea,
where it is the deepest, and peace and
happiness will again prevail throughout,
and the people will praise the Lord
1t is said that the monks in the above
monastery maintained that this prophecy
was written before the discovery of A
merica by Christopher Columbus that
Ferdinand and Isabella were, in the main,
induced to fit out the ship for Columbus,
and that the first part of it is fulfilled in
America, and that the other part will soon
come to pass.

"Drap me Aisy.

o "Drap me aisy," said poor malefac
tor, to the hangrnan, as he was about be-
|, ing sent into eternity. He wanted tc
drop gradually" There are thousands
1 of spectators and others now in the same
condition. They are willing gold and
merchandise, generally, should 60 down,
provided it does not harm them. Each
; man cries out, "Drap me aisy. >" The
gold speculator, tremulous and pale with
excitement, says, "Drap me aisy" Eve
ry holder of cotton, as it "goes tumbling
down" loudly prays "Drap me aisy."-
Every pork and beef speculator says,
"Drap me aisy." The whole army of
capitalists, bankers and business men are
hoarse with the cry, "Drap me aisy"-
Over against this crowd are the common
people, the great multitude, and they say
to falling prices, Come quickly p Con-
sumers now demand slow figures" A
good time is coming, say they, and now
we will take our turn. The poor me-
chanic, who has paid seventy cents a
pound to butter his bread on Sunday,
now has hope. He says "Hurry up
your low prices Making haste slowly
does not.suit him. If gold goes down in
proportion, and the prospects brighten
that the long looked-for "solid basis" is
at hand.
What is gold good for? You cannot
eat it drink it, or wear it. 1t is not wan
ted to ship to Europe. 1t is not wanted
by the Government to pay interest. 1t
is not wanted by importers to pay duties.
1t is not at present wanted by the banks
to redeem their circulation. 1t is only
wanted by one single class of our fellow
citizens-the speculators-the bulls to-
day and the bears tomorrow, in Wall
street. We say, let them have it? When
gold went up, business men made for
tunes by monopolizing merchandise, man
ufactures made fortunes by advancing
prices, stock-speculators made fortunes so
that milionaires were, at one time, Gas
plenty as blackberries Gold gamblers
made fortunes by buying and boarding
every ducat they could lay hands on
Outside of the aforesaid ranks stood
thousands crying madness; as food and
raiment went up higher. They then
demanded more and more pay for their
labors. Starvation prices at length star
ed them in the. face. We had rebels
North as well as South. Buyers rebelled
at high prices. at hundred per cents, pro-
fits, and at fortunes made in day
Happily the tables are now turned, and
who expects the masses of the people to
mourn Nobody but fools.
Cheap bread and meat in any intelli-
gent community insure prosperity. Let
US have prosperity, there, for the people
as whole, even if some must suffer-
We say, in conclusion, Down with the
price of gold. Down with the price of
dry goods. Down with the price of bread
and meat. Down with the price Of cloth
ing. Down speedily with the price of
everything, until we come to gold basis.
'fGradual emancipation is better than
nothing, but whoever asks for it will not
fnd himself just on the popular side"
Prices must continue to go down, down,
down, until the banks and the Govern
ment resume specie payment; and that
glorious era cannot come minute to
quick.-Independent.

OUR BOYS ARE COMING HOME.

Thank God, the sky is clearing!
The clouds are hurting past;
Thank God the day is nearing!
The dawn is coming fast.
And when glad herald voices
Shall tell us peace has come,
This thought shall most rejoice us,
"Our boys are coming homo!"
Soon shall the voice of singing
Drown wars tremendous din;
Soon shall the joy-bells ringing
Bring peace and freedom in.
The jubilee bonfres burning
Shall soon light up the dome,
And soon, TO soothe our yearning,
Our boys are coming home.
The vacant fireside places
Have waited for them long
The love-light lacks their faces,
The chorus waits their song;
A shadowy fear has haunted
The long-deserted room;
But now our prayers are granted,
Our boys are coming home.
o mother, calmly waiting
For that beloved SON!
D sister, proudly dating
The victories he has won!
D maiden, softly hummiug
The love song while you roam
Joy, JOY, the boys are coming
Our boys are coming home!
And yet-oh, keenest sorrow.
They're coming, but not all;
Full many a bark tomorrow
Shall wear its sable pail
For thousands who are sleeping
Beneath the empurpled loan;
Woe! woe! FOR those we're weeping,
Who never will come home.
o sad heart, hush thy grieving;
Wait but a little while
With hoping and believing
Thy woe and fear beguile.
Wait for the joyous meeting
Beyond the starry dome.
For there our boys are waiting
To bid US welcome home.

THE CASE OF THE FLORIDA.


\ 70 the seizure Of the Florida By the United
States vessel Wachusett, in the harbor of
Bahia, has been made public.
I The Brazilian minister to the United States,
Senior Ienacio De Avellar Barboza da Silva,
gives the facts of the capture of the Florida
from the Brazilian point Of view, reflects
!; severely, both on the u S. consul, Mr.. Wilson
and Captain Collins, of the Wachusett and
likewise de ands reparatlon for the alleged
indignity offered his Government. The letter
from Mr.. Seward in reply, admits that the
Imperial Government was entitled to expect
from the United States, in accordance with its
we'll known policy Of jealousy Of foreign inter
.yention and absolute non intervention in the
domestic affairs Of foreign nations, a prompt
.disavowa! of the proceedings Of Capt. Collins.
He announces the dismissal of the consul, and
the suspension Of and court martial of Capt.
Collins, but discaims any credence IN the
charges brought against the agents of the u.
g. and puts the action of the y. S. Govern
ment or the ground that their act was illegal
and unauthorized He maintains that the
Florida was ''piratical vessel, the harboring
/ of which was uhfriend'y, and wrong demand
Ing reparation, and AYERS that these are posi-
tions which admit of no argument At the
same time he disclaims the right of any subor-
dinates of the Government to determine the
manner in which the rights of this country
shall be asserted, or its wrongs redressed.-
This nation stands by established law, and he
scongratulates the Brazilian Government on
setting an example worthy of imitation. In
accordance with the principles stated he an
nounces that the crew of the Florida will be
I released, but states the facts in regard to the
loss of the vessel itself, which facts are now
being investigated by courts of inquiry.
A New York paper says: is stated that
the authorities are in possession of evidence
which may lead to the seizure OF several, II not
all, of the steamers Of a certain European line
running between that city and port which it
is not advisable to mention. If the facts JUS
tify the report, the Governments will reap large
ly from the confscation.
The Richmond papers state that Col. Nose
by, of the Confederate service, was severely
wounded recently, in house in Fauquler coun-
ty, where he was stopping and where he was
fired upon by an attacking party OF Federai
troops. Though severely wounded, 1t IS sald'
he will probably recover.
Information reached the Navy Department,
Of the capture by steamers of two schooners
and brig, with about three hundred bales OF
cotton and quantity Of tobacco, whilst at
tempting to run the blockade.
