The New York French newspaper organ of Ma
poeon has an article from the MatamOros Ran
chero, on matters upon the Rio Grande. We trans
late an extract:
:" In truth, one would say that all the devils Of
hell, with their aids, had been unclaimed, and had
received carte blanche upon this frontier. Black
devils, white red, gray and parti-coored, seem tC
have given themselves rendezvous, and to have
combined and concentrated their efforts at Browns
vile, in order to make, if possible a vertabe pan
demonium of this neighborhood Brigands, thieves
way robbers, filibusters, freed slaves, outlaws
gamblers, prescribed Mexicans and midnight as.
sassins have had for eight months absolute posses
sion of the American bank of the Rio Grande
upon which they hold undisturbed assizes."
The American bank of the Rio Grande cannot be
very desirable place at the present time if al
this be true. 1t would be eligible location for
our home mission societies to the fine opening fo1
effort now afforded on the American bank of the
Rio Grande.-[Chic Times.

A New DIsCOvERY.-The Baltimore Gazette
says that Mr. +. H. Stabler, Of that city, after
long and patient series of experiments has finally
tsucceeded in discovering a process whereby oys-
'ters meats and fruits may be preserved in fresh
state for an indefinite period and in any climate.
A patent has been obtained and an Incorporated
company is already in process of organization,
under the style of The Preserving Company for
, the purpose of bringing this discovery into gene
raj use among the many business firms who are
meats, fruits and vegetables for home comsump-
ton and for expectation. The new method of
preserving these articles in fresh state and with
out the application of heat has already been sub
jected to the severest tests which are known to
chemists as productive of rapid decomposition and
and has withstood them all-the articles so treated
turning out as fresh as if they had been sealed up
but the day before"

RATHER HARD ON SCHENCK.-The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times says:

General schenck, who won such imperishabe
renown for his gallant charge upon the Confeder-
ate hordes at Vienna, when he put to flight ever so
many rebels at the point of the cowcatcher feels
sadly discounted over the result of the late sena-
torial contest in 0hio-his fourth defeat for an Of
flee upon which he seems desperately intent He
has rushed into radicasm, and hopes by the ad'
vocacy Of extreme measures, to be made the sue
oessor OF Ben Wade, two years since. One of his
pet schemes is negro suffrage in the District OF
Columbia. Meeting the Mayor of Washington
City, the other evening, at social party, he had
no better manners than to say to him "We expect
to run colored gentleman against you next
s.spring;" and Mayor Waaek had no more respect
Efor poor Schenck's feelings than to reply, "Ai
He'll come as near being made Mayor as you die
TO being made Senator" Schenck vanished.

The Prussian "NeedIe', Gun.

AS this weapon will in all probability be
frequently mentioned during the course of
the present European war, a few words In
description of its plan and principles will
not be out of place.
The cartridge used in the "Needle" gun is
MADE OF stiff cardboard, the ball, powder,
ano explosive composition being contained
III one and the same cylinder Its great pc
ouiiar,ty Is that the detonating powder is
placed Immediately in rear of the base O! the
Dali, and between it and the powder The
advantage OF this is that, when the powder
IS lgnited, that portion next the ball in
which combustion is first perfected, exerts its
full force upon the projectile, the powder in
the rear also exerting its influence, as it bc.
comes almost simultaneously ignited. Under
the present system, in which that part of the
powder next to the breech of the gun is first
ignited, a portion of the powder is frequently
expelled from the gun, with the ball in a
condition of only partial combustion, the
explosive force of the powder first consumed
being adequate to eypel the ball anG the
powder in its front, before the whole charge
has time to become entirely ignited. Thus
in the "Needle" gun all the powder is con-
sumed, and applied to the best effect and so
as to obtain its fullest force at the same in
stant and in the same direction.
The Needle" gun is q breech loader; and
when the trigger is pulled, a stout needle"
or wire is thrust through the base of the
cartridge, parallel with its axis, into the
detonating charge by the ball, causing its
explosion and the ignition of the cartridge.
In accuracy the Needle" gun cannot be
and its effective range is said to
be about fifteen hundred yards. 1t is, how.
ever, doubtful whether it will be found TO
bear with impunity the necessarily rough
treatment of an active campaign. The Prus-
sian Jagers, and sharp shooters generally
are armed with this formidable weapon, and
upon skirmish line, when it can be used
with care'and deliberation, it must prove
highly effective

A Curious ThOuSht-Hs the World
Growing Larger?
From the Scientific Amercan.l


Is there not reason to think that this
world is daily increasing in size Is there
not an action taking place on its surface
analogous to that which occurs in plastic
cell when placed in circumstances favorable
for its Development To illustrate this
thought: We plant little acorn, weigh
ing few grains, in the ground. In the
course of time it becomes the large oak,
weighing thousands of pounds, and spread
ing its branches far and wide in every di-
rection. This oak gets its weight and bulk
principally from the air we breathe, and re-
mains upon the earth thousands of years,
perhaps, and undergoes great many changes
before it is finally restored to the atmos-
phere, even if this event ever does take
place. So animals derive their weight and
bulk partly from the air they breathe into
their lungs, and partly from the vegetable
productions which they devour.
When animals die, their bodies, it is true
are partly decomposed into gas, and restored
to the atmosphere, but they are principally
seized upon and appropriated by growing
vegetables, which in their turn are devoured
by other animals. 1t thus seems to me that
the corn, through the agency of its animal
and vegetable productions must be daily
increasing at the expense of the atmosphere
by which it is surrounded. In other words,
the plants and animals of the earth are all
the time appropriating to themselves the
elements of the atmosphere and forming out
of them new compounds which remain upon
the earth an almost indefinite length of time
before they are decomposed and restored to
the atmosphere. This idea is illustrated in
our coal mines. All coal was originally
wood, and like all wood, was formed princi-
pally at the expense Of the elements OF the
atmosphere.
This coal has remained upon the earth
millions of years, perhaps, and now at
length, men, urged on by their necessities,
are digging it up, and by burning it, re-
storing 1t in the shape of carbonic acid to
the atmosphere, from which it originally
came No one, it seems to me, can doubt
that the earth is larger now than it was
when this coal existed in the form of wood.
Although the world may be increasing now,
1t does uot follow that it will continue to
increase for all time; sooner or later an
equilibrium will be established between the
amounts of elementary principles which the
earth takes from and restores to the atmos-
phere. But at present, in my opinion, it Is
like growing animal !; its absorption ex-
ceeds its waste. In word, our planet is not
a full grown earth it is merely an "earth-
ling"
Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1866-08-04

In the Admission of Tennessee, Congress
has given proof of its sincere desire to re-
store their forfeited privileges to the rebel
States, the moment it is convinced of their
loyalty. This fact silences countless ISLANDERS.
Because of its steadfast determination to ad-
NIT no representatives from Southern States
which refused to comply with the very mod
crate conditions imposed by the loyal people,
Congress has been persistently accused Of a
desire to prevent the restoration of the Union.
ihose who have affirmed the falsehood, who
nave declared that the rebel States, by the
mere act of laying down their arms, resumed
an the legal rights they repudiated when
tncy reoeiled are responsible for all our
present troubles

From the Germantown Telegraph I
Hints About lIOuselSeepiur

We will give to intellect, to religion and
to all virtues, the honor that belongs to
them. And still it may be boldly affirmed
that economy, taste, skill and neatIess in
the kitchen have great deal to do ia max
ing life happy and prosperous.
Nor is it indispensably necessary that
qualifications for all good housekeeping can
be displayed as well on email scale as on
large one.
small house can be more easily kept
than palace. Economy is most needed in
the absence of abundance.
Taste is as we'll displayed in placing the
dishes on pine table, as well as in arrang.
ing the folds of damask curtain.
Skilful cooking is as readily discovered in
nicely baked potato, or respectable
johnny cake, as in nut brown sirloin or
brace of canvass backs.
The charm of good housekeeping, is in the
order of economy and taste displayed in at
tention to little thing, and these little things
have wonderful influence.
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking havo
driven many one from home to seek for
comfort and happiness somewhere else.
Domestic economy is science theory
of life which al sensible women ought to
study and pIa2tice. None of our excellent
girls are fit to be married until they are
thoroughly educated in the deep and pro-
found mysteries of the kitchen.
See to it, all ye who are mothers, that
your daughters are all accomplished by an
experimental knowledge of good housekeep-
ing.
