The thousands of brave lrlshmen VINO have

their home. and it can be the home OF their
kindred. for generations to come, an asylum
for their kith and kin from the exactions of
brutal English landlords and partial English
laws. We need them here, and we are per-
haps selfish in our desire that they shall not
expand their energies and means in a futile
attempt to wrest from England an island
contiguous to her own shores, when the
hardy millions who people it can find here
ample room and unquestioned liberty, and
leave the naked land to its grasping oppres-
sors. Besides, we doubt much the patriotism
and sincerity of those leaders, possessed of
intelligence, who are bounding on their
brethren by means of hereditary prejudice to
pay their money to make Hibernia a second
Utopia. The idea is fallacious one, and
we really believe these leaders are moved by
design on the pockets of their deluded fol-
lowers, with view to their own advantage,
than by sincere wish for the political free
dom of Ireland.

$40 FIGHT.-Two Butteites from the coun-
try recently arrived in town to execute
deed for some real estate The purchase
money amounted to over four thousand dol
lars The parties visited an attorneys Office
and had the deed drawn up, when Justice
of the Peace was sent for to complete the
work As the candle was lighted, the
traders disputed over $50, and slow push
ing fight commenced, each having the other
by the coat collar. Attorney and Justice,
doubling the reality, at first, looked quietly
on. The showing contiuued-grew violent
The Justice, feeble from i'll health, command
ed the peace with all the dignity and authori
ty of his posish, but of no avail. Anger was
up, the pulling fight ragged desperately from
one side of the office to the other when over
went the stove, and pipe falling to the floor.
The enraged attorney unable longer to sup
press his risibles' took hand, and instant
iy over went stand, candle. chairs, and the
belligerants elected from the premises. After
a general consultation the $40 in dispute
and trade was settled, parties satisfied,
damage paid, etc. Orooitle Record.

INTERESTING CHEMICAL FACTs.-A platIna
crucible is made and maintained red hot over
a large spirit lamp. Some sulphurous acid
is poured into it. The acid, though at a
common temperature one of the most volatile
known bodies, possesses the singular proper
ty of remaining fixed in the redhot crucible,
and not drop of it evaporates in fact it Is
not in contact with the crucible, but has an
atmosphere of its own interposed. A few
drops of water are now added to the sulphur
Gus acid in the red hot crucible. The diluted
acid gets into immediate contact with the
heated metal, instantly flashes off, and such
is the rapidity and energy of the evaporation
that the water remains behind and is frozen
into lump of ice in a hot crucible from which,
seizing the moment before it again melts it
may be thrown out before the eyes of the
astonished observer. This is indeed 9 a
piece of natural magic" and as much like a
miracle as any operation of the forces of
nature could produce. 1t is certainly one of
the most singularly beautiful experiments
Imaginable. 1t was devised by French
savan to illustrate the repelant power of
heat radiating from bodies at a high temper
ature, and of the rapid abstraction of heat
produced by evaporation.

campaign in the Wilderness % 900. Burn
side at Fredericksburg 10000; and Grants
united losses. from the time of crossing the
Rapidan, in his final campaign, to the sur
render of Lee, are computed at 100000.
The number of battles fought during the
last war was 252 OF these the soil Of Vir
ginia drank the blood of 80; Tennessee wit
messed 81. Missouri 80, Georgia Il, South

A SINGULAR case is occupying the attention
of Judge Squires, in the Probate Court. A
man named Mayors died. and by will be-
queathed his property, mostly real estate, to
his wife. Before his will was probated, she
died, leaving a will devising the property to
a relative in Germany non resident alien.
Both wills are now presented for probate {;
but the Public Administrator claims that the
alien cannot inherit, (which is undoubtedly
the fact,) and that therefore the property
reverts to the State. As there is son OF the
husband in the State, who is understood to be
a citizen, counsel claim that the will being
null and void, he is the heir-at law, as though
no will had been made The Judge will
render a decision in a day or two-PGeer-
