o'Dowd on Napoleon and Uncle Sam.

i
Cornelius O'Dowd, the most narrow, imper-
tinent and fippant writer who habitually airs
his tory prejudices in the pages of Blackuood,
is not accustomed to trouble himself much
about the truth in speaking of America, pro-
vided he can find something derogstory to
say. But in the following he seems to have
been driven by his oyerpowering hatred of
France and Louis Napoleon into grudgng
admission that Uncle Sam has really got him
self into the position of champion of the
worlds ring:
A more insufferable piece of insoleht pre-
tentlon cannot be imagined than what is cali
ed the Monroe doctrine. That my next door
neighbor should not live in certain style lest
the servants in my house should become dis
satisfied, Is too gross an absurdity to be enter
tanned. That whatever rules prescribe for
my family should be adopted by every one who
lives in the same street, is somewhat overbear-
ing; and yet, with all this, / declare am all
for the Yankee in this Mexican row. 1t Is not
the justice of the case want to think OF. 1t
is not whether France has right on her side,
and whether this demand to retire be one of
of those mandates high-spirited nation can
not submit to; my whole consideration is linn
tied to the fact--here at last the great bully of
Europe has met his matchl Here is Young
athletic daring fellow ready to 60 into the ring
with that finished pugilist that none of us have
courage to fight and who, even with gloves on.
doubles up in fashion far from agreeable.
America dares to hold language to France
that all Europe combined would not utter
There's no denying it; there's no qualifying it.
If we had Continental coalition tomorrow.
we could not venture to say what America has
just said. What Minister of Russia, Of Eng
land, or Austria would say to the French EN-
peror, I'VE were thinking of something else
when you slipped into Savoy and Nice the
other day; now that our hands are free, you'll
have to go back again." We are famous for
brave words in our Foreign Office, but does
any one expect that such a message as this
Will ever issue from Whitehall
We would no more provoke the Tuieries by
an insolent dispatch than we would go into
one of Van Amburgh's cages and KICK the
lion. 1t has become sort OF European su-

A Rich Man.

relate an anecdote illustrating that riches
do not depend upon the amount man pos.
sesses. but upon his condition OF mind
some are poor with n hundred thousand
dollars, Others rich with less than one &C..
tieth Of that amount. 4 rough backwoods-
man called upon the Governor one morn
ing, and inquired IL he was " Bill Marcy
that used TO live in Southport" Yes. "
said Mr.. Marcy, who was quite curious TO
know who his visitor might be. ~ told
'em so, but they wouldn't believe it-but

Wild.goose chase was q term used TO ex.

geese those birds generally 60 in train,
one after another. not in confused nocks as
other birds do. In this sort OF race the
two horses. after RAINING twelve-score yards
had liberty, which horse soever could get
the lead, TO take what ground the jockey
pleased. the hindermost horse being bound
TO follow him within q certain distance
agreed on by the articles, or else TO be
whipped In BY the triers and judges who
rodo BY; and whichever horse could distance
the other won the race.
This sort OF racing was not long in com.
mon use, for il was found inhuman. aud de.
structiye OF good horses, when two such
were matched together for In this case
neither was able TO distance the other ill
they were both ready TO sink under their
riders; and often two very good horses were
both spelled. and tho wagers forced 20 be
drawn a last.
The mischief OF this sort Of racing soon
brought In the method now In use. OF only

Worry Fine Writing.

Among the Assyrians, the common mode
Of keeping records OF national and historic.
al events, was by stamping the words upon
bricks, tiles, or cylinders OF clay baked at
tor the impression was produced. Mr..
Layard, the celebrated explored, in digging
among ruins Of ancient Nineveh, found ma
ny specimens OF these records, most OF
which were written in such small character
tiers, that their forms could only be made
out with the use OF % microscope. A rude
magnifying glass. made OF rock crystal, was
found, which had probably been used for
such purpose. At the present day. instru.
ments are used for producing microscopic
writing, exceeding, any thing the ancients
could execute, and almost surprising belief.
by On apparatus called q pentagraph. the
Lords Prayer has been written in q space
looking TO the eye like n minute dot, and
covering only the ass .O00th part OF an
inch Under good microscope the letters
arc beautifully clear and legiblc. II has been
calculated that In this way the whole Bible
might be written 10 loss than the twenty.
second part Of square inch. In using the
machine. the operator writes with q pencil
attached 70 the end OF a long lever. and the
marks thus made are reduced almost infni.
tesimally by q series OF levers properly ar.
ranged, and engraved on o glass plate, which
is made 10 move over diamond point. BY
means Of photography, reducing the size Of
letters with suitable lenses. equally aston.
ishing writing has been produced. Wa do
not know Of any especially useful applica-
cation made OF such writing, but u might
serve good purpose In preserving secret
dispatches In time OF war. which would es
cape notice if the messenger were captured.
