The Advantages of having n Woman

"That seat is occupied" !" said bright
eyed girl at the hotel table to u man

With saucy upward look at him,

brings me to say that If you are going a
long journey in regions where ii is
first come first served" the most de-
sirable piece of baggage you can take
with you is not hRt-boX or blanket,
but a woman. If you have none, then
marry one, for you are not thoroughly
equipped for the road till you do. When
dinner Is ready you follow in her bless
ed wake, and are snugly seated beside
her, and exactly opposite the .plattor of
chickens, before the hirsute crowd, wo.
manless us Adam was till he fell into n
deep sleep, are let in at all. There you

New GLASSES FOR WEAK EYEs.-A
recent discovery, that was purely scien-
tito in its origin, has led to a further
discovery of means of relief for per-
sons who are troubled with weak eyes.
Some time since it was made known to
the Paris Academy of Science that a
lens, or glass, covered with a thin film
of silver leaf, would enable person to
gaze at the sub through it without the
usual painful dazzle and glare, More
recently the Academy received a COM
municatton from another member. In
which he described an application OF
the aforementioned discovery for the
protection of weak eyes. His own
sight had been impaired IN the course
OF some chemical experiments, SO that
the Light had become painful to him,
and he had recourse 20 the ordinary
colored spectacles used in such caseS.
he used spectacles with black glasses
at hrat; he then put on green glasses
over the black ones. These answered
tolerahly well, but he ultimately took a
setofblue glasses, which he had covered
as above, with a thin film of silver leaf,
These answered the best of all, and
afforded him the relief he was seeking
after! A film of gold leaf over the
glasses has q similar effect. The light
transmitted Is Yeryip pleasant, especially
In the case of gold leaf. The latter,
when yellow, lets green light pass;
when green, Chat Is, alloyed with sill
vers) the eye received blne light. He
therefore thinks that persons lRhortng
under the inconVenience of weak eyes
VIII derive great relief from spectacIes
SO prepared.

A Wise Notion as 70 Teaching IIltie
Children.
From Bfshop Whdtety's Memoirs.

'S"s 4S+S'tUE HttASEV . 4AAeHtVuSs
Bishop Whately used to say that
teaching children to learn by rote what
they did not understand, was to make
them swallow their food first, and
chew Afterwards when Mrs. Whate-
ly and I first married. he observed,
many yearS later, 'one of the first things
we agreed upon was, that should ProVf-
dence send us any children, we would
never teach them anything they did not
understand.' Not even their prayers.
my lord p asked the person addressed
No, not even their prayers,' he replied.
To the custom of teaching children Of
tender age to repeat prayers by rote.
without attending to their sense, he OBJ.
jected even more strongly than to any
other kind of mechanical teaching: as
he considered it inculcated The idea,
that a person is praying when merely
repeating form of words in which the
mind and feelings have no part, which
is destructive of the very essence of de-
Votion. t.-f...

THoREAb on 1IARR1AeE.-Conaider-
ing how few poetical friendships there
are, it Is remarkable that so many are
married! 1t would seem as If men
yielded too easy an obedience to nature
without consulting their genius. One
maybe drunk with love without being
any ftearer to finding his mate. There
is moresof good nature than of good
sense at the bottom Of most marriages.
But the good nature must have the
counsel OF fhe good spirit or intelli-
gence. II common sense had been
consulted, how many marriages would
never have taken place; II uncommon
Or divine sense, how few marriages such
place!

Prices Tumbling-8Eand from Under.
tae Cincinnati Gazette.
From every quarter we have advices
of deellning markets, for almost every
article OF produce All speculative
feeling Is, for the time, suspended, and
operators act us if the markets were be-
lieved to be bottomless. In New York.
yesterday, beef cattle sold at about
what they cost in Kentucky, and hogs
brought less than were bought for in
Chicago or Cincinnati. Mess pork,
which two weeks ago sold as high as
SS5, is down to S2475; lard has fallen
from 22c to 14c for prime; flour, wheat,
corn, rye; oats, &C., have been falling
steadily, though still comparatively
high. Dry goods are also declining, as
are also groceries; and finally, fancy
railroad stocks; which were going up

Our dispatches from Lexington, the
great stock market for Central KEN

day from &c to 41Sc; hogs, from Sc to 5a

per cent, and mules SIS per head.
There is a bottom to the markets, of
course, and the Indications are that it
will soon be reached. The practice of
boarding produce; which was rendered
practicable by the abundance and
cheapness of money, rendered this
break in the markets inevitable. TO
such a point had values been carried
that exports were not only checked, but
we were actually re-fmporting leading
articles OF produce from England. Now
the tables are turned, and our foreign
exports are increasing.
But money being plenty, the proba-
bility Is that a violent reaction will
take place, and capitalists will again at
tempt to mpnopoltze stocks and force
prices up compelling consumers and
producers to unite in paying the fiddler.
1t will not be 80 easy, to do this, how
ever, as 1t was a year ago. Within the
last six months boarding produce has
not paid. Within the last sixty days it

The rscsnt gunnsrv experiraents upon the
turrst Of the Royal Sovereign and the recent
engagement. with the Spanish iron-clad
squadron ut Callac, have proved almost be-
yond doubt that the system of revolving
turrsts is one which nefits great attention.
Such being tn, case, it remains yet TO be
dessrminsd whether the system cannot be
on . much mere extended scale
than its lccst sanguibe supporters ever ex-
pectsd. A plan has been recaL tly submitted
10 the authoFisies Of the Admira. " and War
Department, which although bolo 70 idea to
the very extreme, commends itselI Tor It's

forts should be erected on the foundatis =

Mans Land Shoal and the Spit and Horse
Sands, the forts upon wnich are intended
TO defend the roadstead klown as Spithesd-
II is perfectly clear that il three men can
turn with esss one Of the turrets Of the
Royal Sovereign, although weighing $50
tons, q revolving iron-clsd fort could be
turned with equal ease by powerful hydrau-
lie machinery, even though weighing rs
much as 1000 or 5000 tons. At All events,
the scheme II worthy the consideration Of
the authorities, and might fairly be len to
the Turret Committee or to the Chief Engi-
neer 1t Portsmouth Dockyard TO report upon
its practicab'lity. IL Is proposed that the
diameter of these forts should be 2l3 feet,
oaing the Bame as that OF the top coLrse Of
thc present foundations, having double
curvL.nesr sectional form, such form being,
II il belle we'd, preferable to that OF a quad
rant or that If an angle Of 45 degrees The
forts win have two tiers of 500 pounder )
mounted on an upper and lower tier, eac 4
containing Is guns, or 50 in all, and W III

wheels, the wheels themselves being con
nected in the most powerful manner With

form the foundation upon which the whole
Iof the iron-elad supcrstTucture Of the fort
will rest. The guns viii stand one irnmedi-
