Gold in the World.

According TO estimates recently made, the
whole amount of gold in the world. at the
present moment Is about 1880 .0u0. .U0G
in value 1t may be OF interest to see what
the bulk of this amount OF gold would be If
it were melted and run together Pure
gold is more than nineteen times as heavy
as water: and cubic foot of water weighs
a thousand ounces avoirdupois. \ cubic
foot of gold would weigh, then, over 10000
ounces avoirdupois. and every such ounce
of fine gold is Notwithstanding to our coin
age-somewhat more than eighteen dollars ::
so the whole cubic foot of gold would be
worth IA little more than third OF a mil
lion dollars. 4 cubic yard Of solid gold
would be worth twenty-seyen times as much
as that, or over 100000 dollars; and
go cubic wards would contain somewhat
more than the 1880, 600, 900 Of gold in
the world These 600 cubic yards would
be contained within room about five yards
high eight yards wide, and sixteen yards
long say, IA good-sized parlor, or store of
moderate size.
But" says some one, gold is so very
malleabfe that even this small bulk Of it
would gild over the whole earth. But he
either over-estimates the malleability of
gold, or, more likely, under-estimates the
size of the earth 1t takes l,2S0,000 leaves
of the thinnest gold foil to make an inch Ill
thickness, or about fifteen millions and a
third to make foot, or $4,000, 900 to yard.
A cubic yard OF gold then, could be beaten
out SO as to cover 46,000,000 square yards
somewhat less than 10000 acres: for
there are 4,S40 square yards to the acre.
Then, as there are $40 acres to the square
mile, the whole 66O cubic yards of gold could
be beaten out so as to covev about 10, 900
square miles; that is, track only a hum
dred miles square. less than the extent of
Vermont, and little more than fifth of
either New York or Pennsylvapia

phere round the mountain side. The conf
dence of the party on a trip which would
under ordinary circumstances have been So
dangerous was manifested by their crowding
round all parts of the engine, from which
under a feeling of the security afforded by
the central rail they thoroughly enjoyed the
ever changing scenes they passed round
the edges of the various precipices. Susa
was entered amid the acclamatons of multi
tudes ofspectators, and the party adjourned
to dine at the Hotel de France Thus war
completed "a journey unexampled in its char
acter, both as respects the steepness of gra-
dients, the elevation of the sum nit level, and
the difficulty with which the curves and prcc-
ipices were overcome.

MIND AND BoDY.-The necessary con.
nection of the condition of the body and
of the mind is matter of universal and
constant experience. Mental influences af.
feet the physical health and the state of
the body, on the other hand, exerts power
full effect on the mind In treating of
health, it is, therefore, necessary to consider
the management of the thoughts and pas
sions. La some diseases physical and men,
tai disorders are SO complicated and blend
ed together, that it is impossible to tell in
which the arrangement had its origin.
Even when the disturbance does not 90 to
the length of disease, the mutual influence
of the mind and the body may play in the
question of health. The body is constant
ly acted on through the mind, and this way
of reaching and influencing the corporal
health deserves more attention than il usu.
ally receives.

The FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATER.-It
is related of benevolent man that he
lived in a village poorly supplied With
water. Dry seasons exhausted the wells.
and reducsd the citizens to great straits.
About mile distant was a never falling
spring The waters from this he conducted
by pipes to the heart of the village, and
so furnished supply at all seasons to the
inhabitants. This act of generosity touched
the people, and when he was dead they
erected monument to his memory by the
fountain that he had opened for. their
benefit.

ANECDoTE OF DR.. BEEcHER.-The fol-
| lowing is an anecdote of Rev. DIR. Lyman
Beecher that was not put into the family
| book:
My father" said H. W., loved to
write at the top of the house, and | loved
to get up there and watch him. He had
a way of whispering to himself as he
wrote, and while he wrote with one hand
he rubbed his breast with the other. He
could not bear to be buttoned up into any
thing while writing, and wristbands, and
collar, and vest were all sure to be pulled
open as soon as he set to work. His coat
was laid aside and his suspenders thrown
! off his shoulders
at was unfailing interest and amuse-
ment for me to sit in that room and watch
him.
:" My father was great lover of clans.
One day, he was rapidly driving his
pen, a clam man passed the house, crying,
CLAIMS, clans My father was so intent
upon his sermon that it was several min
utes before he fully realized what the
sound was Then he rushed to the win
dow and hailed the man, who had passed
beyond the reach of his voice.
Clapping his pen behind his ear, father
dashed down stairs like an avalanche, and
before any or all the women who were
wont to lie in wait to catch and put him
| in order could arrest him, he was in full
chase down the street. holding to his
pantaloons with one hand and waving the
other in the air, shouting, CLAIMS, clans,

TO MUCH THUNDER FOR 4 LITTLE PORK

TO MUcH THUNDER FOR \ LITTLE PORK
The sins we wish to commit are easily
made small to our seeming. To many a
sinner who cries out against his punishment
for - little things" the story Of the jew
pork will well apply:
There was once a Jew who was partic-
ularly fond of pork, and who used to 60
out of town to eat it at tavorite tavern
One day he had just cut a slice, when a
tearfnl clap of thunder and a dazzling flash
of lightning Illuminated his room. Con-
science-stricken and trembling. he dropped
his knife and fork By degrees however,
his courage returned, and he had swallowed
a few mouthtuls, when another clap and
another fash ten times worse than the first
renewed his terrors. Pushing away his
plate, he reluctantly rose from the table,
muttering, as he did so, " Lord, Lord,
whata fuss about little piece of pork "

AFTER THE CAPTURE.

By the third day things
began to assume something like law and
order, but starvation was staring the whole
population in the face; it is true that sut-
lers had opened stores of tempting COM
estibles; but who had money to buy ?
Not one, except save of the Jews. ] my
self had not one mouthful, except quart
of meal the marketing furnished on Satur-
day was exhausted, and my neighbors
could not give me, they had nothing
| to bestow.
One by one the men who had left the
city strayed back again, and some soldiers
on parole came to their wives, but, except
the comfort that sympathy gives, they were
of no more real service than fifth wheels
to wagons. Husbands had 10 money, but
were human nevertheless. My six thou
sand dollars in Confederate money, which
I had in hand for pocket money, could not
bring me one ginger cake. Officers, men
of rank. social distinction and wealth, we're
now forlornly sitting down to meals for
which they could not hope to pay The
landlady's stock on the fifth day consisted
of half ham and a half barrel Of Irish
potatoes. She posted a notice over the

There Is no class Of men in East Tennes-
lee that are doing more to disturb tho peace
md q~uistHess OF our country, than Rebel
Preachers; and no set Of men are more %.
pusd and a5Aorsd by Union soldiers and 9TH
loyal citizens. Their very presence Is an
~pye-Sors TO all the people who are good and
rae to their God and country. All who har.
Dor and give them aid and comfort are re-
gArded IN the same light. Wherever they 60
hey are sowing the seeds Of dseOrS, and il
uttered TO pursue their diSOokcsl wO rk, they
Fill cause an uprising Of the people; and II
hey are not put down BY the moral force Of
public opinion, they will be otherwise. The
brave and patriotic men who perilSd their
lives to put down the late wicked rebellion
Vhich these rsSsI PrsGsders aided to Bring up
% our country, wall not tolerate their igfa-
nou, conduct. The decree has gone forth,
shat II they want to rsmaln In this country,

We have been informed that the rebel

has brought upon them.
Some Of the citizens Of this place, In con-
s~ulta.ion a few days ago, In regard to the In

resolved 10 call . pablo meeting to DO held

made oy several Of our leading men upon
the occasion, THE boys in blue,p aud the
good Aud true msn Of our county, who sac
riacsd everything but their honor to put
down this rebellion. will also be present.
We never can have law and order IN this
country as long a. these rs6sl preachers are
permitted TO act as rebel resulting %ofieers,
and the people have sworn upOn the statute
