CONSIDERATION OF 81. JoHN's CHURCH-The
Bishop Of this Diocese, attended by the clerical
and lay delegates to the Episcopal Convention
now in session here, visited st. Johns Church on
Friday and there performed the ceremony Of Con
secration.
A large congregation were in attendance TO wit
ncss this really solemn and imposing ceremony,
and to take part in the worship.
at half-past ten O'Clock the Bishop was seen
coming up the aisle at the main entrance, at the

the services were proceeded with.
The published order OF services which appeared
in our yester days issue was adhered to-
The choir diecoursed some most excellent and
soul-stirring music, the solemn strains reverbeTa-
ting through the temple and causing the hearts

The discourse Of this Reverend gentleman was
one remarkable alike for It's beauty Of diction,

The Two Fishers of Men.

An acquaintance of ours who possesses
great fund of amusing and instructive
anecdotes, relates the following A rev.
erend gentleman, by the name of Whitney
one of the old church in Connecticut, was
in the practice of fitting young men for
the ministry; and it SO happened on one
occasion, that two of these pupils finished
their theological studies about the same
time, and went forth inio the world to en-
ter on the duties of their profession.
They were very different in their tenn
pers and their talents. Isaac was man
of Learning and ability bu; exceedingly
modest and meek withal. Ezekiel was a
person of inferior attainments, but full Of
self-confidence, noise and fury. The for
mer was mild and gentle, charitable and
forgiving; the latter was harsh and over
bearing. severe and relentless. The one
contenled if he could win souls TO heaven I;
the other was determined to drire them
there.
With these differences in talents and
dispositions, they set forth upon their min
istry. They Travelled aad preached. They
were indefatigable in discharge of their
duties. They were" instant in season and
out of season. After having completed
mission of two or three years, they re-
turned to their old master-the Rev. Mr..
Whitney.
Well, Isaac" said the good man, !" how
have you succeeded! I"
Beyond my expectations" said the
modest disciple; and his countenance
frightened as he spoke. +" My efforts have
everywhere met with kindness, and dis
position on the part of my hearers to
profit by them.'
You have made some converts then, ]
suppose ?"
Indeed. hope no person has been
made worse by my preaching; and think

The Yankees.

| A highly imaginative transatlantic geo.
grapher has lately informed the world that
America is, or shortly will be, country
bounded on the north by the Arctic circle,
on the south by eternity, on the east by
the rising sun, and on the west by the day
of judgment" There are a set of bitter
and bilious gentlemen, chiefly of the to-
ry persuasion, to whom this kind of patri-
otic imagery is gall and wormwood. They
are miserable because America is big, and
because she uses these laughable big ex-
pressions. The real reason why they hate
her is because her government is so free
and the success of it SO wonderful but.
since it does not do to confess these facts,
they are always girding at her faults Of
manner and style-a practice which is
about as useful as to rail at the Allegheny
mountains for being huge and craggy.
For our part, we experience no more sur
prise and vexation at the haperbolics of
our descendant beyond the Atlantic than
we should at seeing likely lad split his
trowsers in growing, or fine, healthy ba-
by reach bis plump palms out for the
moon. The thing is natural, and even
| satisfactory with the young giant that we
have bred; and England. the mother of
Empires, ought to be heartily pleased and
amused at the glorious gasconades Of her
mighty child. Is she to be an elderly CO.
quette, and vex herself because her sons
outstride her, and her daughters shoot up
with beauty and vigor that reminds her
how she ages? She ought, if she were
honest and hearty, to be glad and proud of
youngsters-the like of whom history
never knew-to knit them to herself in
bonds Of firm love, and aim ct making out

What is :. one-Horse Power "

The use Of the term horsepower is
very common yet few, except good me-
chanics and engineers, attach a defioite
meaning to it, but regard il as Indicating
loosely, about the power which one horse
would exert.
1t is, however, when used in the sense
under consideration, as definite as possible,
and means the power required to lift 49,
900 pounds, avoirdupois one foot high in
one minute. A horse hitched to the end
of rope over pulley one foot in dame
ter placed over deep well, travelling at
the rate Of about 2 IL miles per hour, or
220 feet per minnte, will draw up $50 lbs.
tie same distance he travels. The forcs
thus exerted is called, in mechanics. i
horsepower" it being an approximation
to the aversge amount of continuous pow
er it is fair to demand of strong horse.
If we multiply the weight raised (l5O
pounds.) by the number Of feet it was
moved per minute( (22O) the product will
be the number Of pounds which the same
power would raise one foot high in the
same length Of time $4,000 pounds)
The dynamometeri is an instrument made
for measuring power, particularly that ex-
erted in drawing. Those used for testing
the draft Of agricultural implements are
simply very strong spring balances, or
spring steelyards, graduated to indicate
the power required to raise any weight
within reasonable limit, At the rate Of two
and one-half miles IN hour. When we
apply this dynamometer in ascertainirg 3 the
draft of machines, if the index indicates
$50 pounds, it 10 shown that the horse il
required TO draw just as hard As he would
do if raising $50 pounds out of well
with rope over pulley one foot in di-
ameter at the rae Of n miles per hour,
and so for other weighs. The velocity ct
which team moves is 10 be considered.
as well as the weight to be raised, or the
load to be drawn. II the horse travels
faster than "a miles an hour while rais-
ing $50 pounds out of q well, he exerts
more than one-horse power. If he walks
slower than this, he does not exert force
equal TO one-horse power. In ascertaininr
the draught of . plow, andreaper or now
er, by drawing faster than n miles per
hour, the dynamometer would indicate
more than the correct draught; and By
driving slower, the draft would be less
than it really is. In testing the draft Of
machines team should always move as
the rate of u miles per hour, or 220
feet per minute, which Is the universally
accepted rate with reference to which da-
nsmometers are graduated, and an easy
one to which to approximate in driving
with almost any kind Of team.-P Portlan4.

Bereavement.

Nay, weep not dearest, though the child be dead
lie lives again in hcaven's unc ioufed life,
With other angels that have early fed
From these dark scenes of sorrow sin and strife;
Nay, weep not dearest. though thy yearning love
Would fondly keep for earth its fairest flowers,
And cen deny to brighter realms above
The few that deck this dreary world Of ours
Though much it seems wonder and a woe
That one so loved should be so early lost,
And hallowed tears may unforbidden flow
10 mourn the blossom that we cherished most,
Yet all is we'll Gods good design see,
That where our treasure is, our hearts may be.

How TO PURIFY RANCID LARp.-We
had some forty pounds Of rancid lard,
which was valueless as it was. Knowing
the anticeptic quality Of the choloric Of
soda. procured three ounces which was
poured into a pailful of soft water. and
when hot the lard added. After boiling
it thoroughly together for an hour or two
it was set aside to cool. The lard was
then taken off when nearly cold, and was
. subsequently boiled up. The color was
restored to an alabaster white, and the lard
was sweet as a rose.-G~nantoson Zsls-

FROM the Boston advertiser, Apfil 10.
Detectives Kirk and Littlefeld, of the state
eonstabulary, having suspicious that all was
not right at No. 40 fremont street, room
No. l, kept by Nathaniel c. Goodwin, visited
the place yesterday forenoon, and found the
proprietor seated at his table, upon which
were ledgers and certificates ofcopper stocks,
he protesting to be agent for the Dayton Cop
per Company, the name of which company
was upon the door. The officers inquired
about copper stocks, the state of the markets,
etc., and finally made known their real bus
mess, which was to search the place, upnn a
warrant from the municipal court, charging
the premises as being kept for gambling
purposes. Upon search closet was found,
the door of which was supplied with small
pane of colored glass and inside of which a
man was discovered with telegraph ma
chine. The man in the closet and the tel
egraph were usually made useful in this
wise: Whenever a countryman entered to
play and try his luck at cards he was seated
at the table with his back to the closet door,
thereby giving the man in the closet a fair
chance to see the cards he held in his hands
The telegraph machine was supplied with a
wire running from the machine under the car
pet, to the business man at the table, who
was thus made acquainted with all the cards
he was playing against, so gaining and ulti-
mately fleeing his victim. The officers took
possession of the machine and wires. also
four hundred chips, a silver deal box, lot of
cards, props, &c. There were in the lot three
sets of dead props. All this property was
taken to the Office of the state constable on
Broom6eld street. The officers named have
been working up the case for some weeks,
and deserve much credit for ferreting out this
gambling establishment.

The Quality Of Eggs.

Few people ever think there is any differ
ence in the quality of the eggs they eat
Yet there is quite Is marked a difference
% there is in the flesh Of the fowls. Fowls
that are fed on the iner kinds of cereal
grain furnish much better eggs than those
that snbsist on grass, oats and buckwheat.-
Wheat. or wheaton dough, or bread, always
makes the richest eggs. n. c. Bemen,
writes On this subject:
"Though most farmers keep fowls and
raise their own eggs, there are many who
have not learned the difference there is in
the richness and favor of eggs produced by
well-fed hens and those from birds that have
been half starved through our winters. There
will be some difference in the size, but fal
more in the quality. The yolk of one would
be large, fne-colored and of good consis.
tence, and the albumen or white, clear and
pure, while the contents of the other will be
watery and meagre, as though there were
not vitality or substance enough in the par
ent fowl to properly carry out and complete
the work nature had sketched. In order
therefore, TO havegood eggs, the fowls should
be well fed and provided with an abundance
of gravel, that they may be able to grind anc
prepare their food for digestion"
