The Child and the Queen.

Beferche-gardner to Elizabeth, consOrt
of Frederick Il.-had one little daughteIi
with whose religious instruction he had ta-
ken great pains. When this child was FIVE
years of age, the Queen saw her one day
while visiting the Royal gardens at Shon-
hausen, and was 50 much pleased with her
that, a week afterwards, she expressed a
wish to see the little girl again. The ia
ther accordingly brought bis artless child
to the palace, and page conducted her in
to the royal presence. She approached the
Queen with untaught courtesy kissing her
robe, and modestly took the seat that had
been placed for her, by the Queens order,
near her own person. From this position
she could overlook the table at which the
Queen was dining with the ladies of her
court, and they watched with interest to 500
the effect of so much splendor on the sim
pie child. She looked carelessly at the cost
ly dresses of the guests, ahd the gold and
porcelain on the table, and the pornp with
which all was conducted; and then, folding
her hands, she sung ont with clear, child
like voice, these words:
Jesus! thy blood and righteousness
Are all my ornaments and dress;
Fearless, with these pure garments on,
I'll view the splendors of thy throne!'
All the assembly was struck with surprise
at seeing so much feeling, penetration, and
piety in one so young, Tears filed the
the eyes of the ladies', and the Queen ex-
claimed, "Ah, happy child! how far are We
below you! ... . .....

The Labor of WritiHg-A Curl
GUS Calculation.

The Commercial College Monthh says:
A rapid penman can write thirty words in
a minute. To do this, he must draw his
quill through the space of one rod-sixteen
and one half feet. In forty minutes his
pen travels a furlong; and five and one-third
hours, one mile.
We make, on an average, sixteen curves
or turns of the pen in writing each word.-
Writing thirty words in a minute, we must
make four hundred and eighty-eight to
each second; in an hour, twenty eight thou
sand eight hundred in day of only five
hours, one hundred and forty-four thousand;
in year of three hundred days, forty-three
million two hundred thousand.
The man who made one million strokes
with pen in month was not at all re-
markable. Many men make four millions.
Here we have in the aggregate mark
three hundred miles long, to be traced on
paper by each writer in year.
In making each letter of the ordinary
alphabet, We must make from three to
seven strokes Of the pen-on an average
three and half to four. r ...

Can't find Room for Gen. COx's
Letter.

The Ciprcldnd Leader has no room for
General Cox 5 letter. The Ledalsr says:
The extreme length of the letter, which
viii preclude It's perussl By the mass of rea-
ders al>o precludes its publication in the
Lender" 1t states its substance, and then
says: r.. ...
Many objections might be urged against
it, beside the radical one which almost every
thinker will urge against its fundamental
prUpOSition--that the races are naturally
hostile to each other But the discussion
of the project is at present not only un-
necessary but impolitic. As General Cox
very sensibly remarks, the subject will not
come under his cognizance even should he
be elected Governor and until his opinions
shall be adopted and urged by others they
have no weight beyond that which attaches
to his individual opinion.
'lt will be observed that the General en-
tirely fails to answer the question in regard
to Negro Suffrage in this State. We re-
gret that ne has done So as this is a queS-
elected Governor, are of much more impor-
tance than those of any single citizen.
The Lender is evidently sufficiently Fatis-
fed with General Cox sletter to give him
an unqualified support, and yet only few
weeks ago it declared that the only vital
issue of the day was the question of Negro
Suffrage. That position it has not aban-
doned, nor docs it manifest any disposition
to ahannon it. The conclusion is, therefore,
justifhble that it does not discover any an
tagonisln to that position in General Cox )

Santa Anna.

This Mexican veteran Of thirty revolu-
tions, who is now seventy years old, is out
in a bitter manifesto to his eountrymen
against the Empire of Maximilian. 1t is
written from his retirement in the Island of
st. Thomas. From it we extract the follow
ing: a. ..
Il owe you an explanation. The public
Journals of the capital published my recog
act of mine did not originate from my own
will, but was imposed upon me by the force
OF circumstances. a.H '
Scarcely did the steamer that conducted
me anchor in the port ere French com
mander presented himself before me on
board oflthe vessel, as the Chief Superior
Of Vera Cruz, and made knownto me that
| would not be allowed to land but on the
contrary, he should oblige me to return in
the same vessel if | did not Immediately
comply with the conditions which he pre-
scnted to me, written in French. These
conditions required ne TO recognize the IN
tcrvention and the monarch elect, and not
to address the people
Such great insolence could only excite
my Indignation. But the sufferings Of my
wife, caused by the painful journey by the
sea, and the advice Of some friends who
came to meet me, inclined me to subscribe
to these conditions, which, however, did
not liheratc nc from the amoyances to
which | was exposed. "A5.

A strange dream occurred to an acquain-
tancc of the writer. The gentleman was at
the time at Pixies Peak; he followed the
profession of mining and undertaking. He
dreamed that as he went to his mine he met
the devil. He was alarmed and anxiously
inquired whether he was the object of this
visit. The devil replied, No but that
he had for such one, living some distance
below. Having transacted his business and
returned, the dreamer again met Saten, who
informed him that he had obtained the OBJ
iect of his errand, and then disappeared,
leaving the dreamer to awake in very un-
pleasant state of mind Early in the morn
ing, our acquaintance received an order to
provide coffin for the person mentioned in
the dream. Upon examination, it appeared
that the latter died between twelve and one
O'Clock about the time Of the dream. The
The strangest part Of the story, is that the
person who died was taken suddenly i'll, SO
that the matter could not have previously
been on the mind of the dreamer. The
gentleman who narrates the dream is so
worthy of credit that we place full reliance
upon his statement. Eaacational Monthly.

.To Enjoy Fun Political Rlghts.,,

In belief editorial announcing the pub
lication of General Cox s letter TO the 0ber
lin committee, The Cincinnati Gazette says
that his private views on the question of
Negro Suffrage" ''briehy stated, are, that
the white and colored people of the South
cannot live together as equals politically,
and he therefore favors peaceable separa-
ton of the two races, on Southern soil, the
Blacks. in their separate condition, TO en-
jog fill political rights" We wonder how
the white soldiers, whose pride frace Gen
eral Cox says has been increased and deep
ened by the war viii like this arrangement,
The Cincinnati Gozettes view of the letter,
in this particular, it will be seen, comedies
with our expressed view ofit-that is, that
General Cox is in favor of conferring upon
the Southern Blacks full political rights
but that, inaslnuch as he fears that they
could not enjoy these full political rights"
to advantage, interlmixed, as they now are.
with the Southern Whites, he favors their
colonization by themselves in the States of
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Florida. The only justly deducible infer
ence from this is, that if General Cox can
be satisfied that the Blacks would eucoun
ter no difficulty in exercising full political
rights in the States where they now live,
he would most unquestionably favor it,
Chief Justice Chase got back to Washing
ton a fe " days ago from his tour of observa-
ton among the Blacks of the South, and he
is represented as being firm in the belief that
the Southern Blacks are more capable Of
exercising the governing power than are the
Southern Whites and, inasmuch as Gener-
al Cox has strong faith in the political wis
! dom and saga5ity of Chief Justice Chase, it
will not be difficult for the Chiefs Justice at,
ter the election, to convince General Cox
that his individual opinions about colonial
| ton are the most airilnt humbug of the age,
and that his (the Chief Justice 8 views are
correct, and that the Southern Blacks can
safely be entrusted with suffrage.
Any man who shall vote for General Cox
under the belief that he is opposed to Ne
gro Suffrage. will be disappointed. = States

BURIAL AND RESCUE. .-1he Cleveland
Plain Deale'' of Saturday gives the follow
ing account OF an interesting incident that
occurred recently in coal mine at, or near
Hubbard, Trumbull county:
1t appears that the Hubbard mine is en-
tered from the river bank, the entrance is
guarded by dam. This dam gave way
while all the miners were at dinner except
the four unfortunate Onss who were only
rescued yesterday morning. The four men
comprehending their situation fed to the
highest portion of the mice, at about u
half mile from the entrance. Their fell
low workmen outside, supposing they would
seek this point, commenced boring immedi-
ately over it, as near as they could judge,
and after penetrating sixty eight feet fortu-
nately struck the pit in close proximity to
two OF the half famished men. BY means
of tube they were enabled to communi-
cate with them and give them food. OF the
other two no information could b. obtained.
The scene about the pit until, and at their
rescue was very affecting. All were married
and their wives and children never left the
pit till their deliveranee. Yesterday morn
ing the water in the river had so fallen as to
admit small boat half mile, found two

a few rods further they found the other two,
and brought all safe to the open air. The
scene can better be imagined than described.
About two thousand people were present, at
the time. The men were with difficulty
resuscltated, but are now doing we'll.

Discovery, IN MATHEMATICS. Professor
Sylvester of London, has found a proof of
Newton process for discovering the ''ims
aginary roots of any expression-a process
hitherto given without proof by all mathe-
maticians, from Newton downwards. The
Professor explained it on Wednesday night,
at Kings College, to about sixty listening
mathematicians, and this new demonstra-
ton of Newton improved rule, which he
called "the beautiful child Of Newton S
youth, f" seemed to have satisfied his audi
cnce. Mr.. Sylvester has long since been
known as a mathematician of genius and
eccentric views. He was convinced, we
have heard, at one time, by the Greek fall
lacy which affects to prove that ''the flying
arrow rests, showing of course that at ev-
cry successive instant each point in the ar
row must be at some specific point of space,
and then arguing-'but if at erery instant,
then ol,odys" Professor Sylvester was cur
rently reported to accept this re easoning, and
to explain it away by saying that every mo-
wing thing Tor person. is destroyed at one
point of space, and Immediately created
anew at the next-an ingenious but toilsome
hypothesis. .......

Lord SALISBURY recently stated, in pub
lie meeting in London, that he had ascer-
tanned from personal observation that Of a.
dult male criminals in that city, nearly all
had fallen into course Of crime between
the ages Of eight and sixteen years: and that
if boy lived an honest life up to twenty
years of age, there were forty-nine chances
in his favor and only one against him, as to
an honorable life thereafter.

theirs and mothers, and shows fearful re-
sponsibility Certainly parent should Sc
cure and exercise absolute control over his

ADVICE FOR Boys Y on are made to
be kind, says Horace Mann. generous
and magnanimous. Ii there is a boy in
school who has club foot don't let him
know that you ever saw it. If there is
poor boy with ragged cloths, don't talk a,
bout rags when he is hearing. If there a
lame boy assign him some part of the game
which don't require running If there is a
hungry one give him part of your dinner
| IF there is dull one, be not envious Of him;
for if one boy is proud Of his talents, and an
other envious of them, there are two great
wrongs, and no more talents then before. -
IF larger or stronger boy has injured you
and is sorry foF it, forgive him, and request
the teacher not to punish him, All the
school will show by their countenance how
much better it is than to have great fist. u
