The Luxembourg Question and the
Peace of Europe.
DESPITE the warlike dispatches we have been
receiving for some days past in regard to the
Luxembourg affair, we have definite news
to-day that the London Peace Conference has
agreed to these bases of deliberation:-
"First. The territory of Luxembourg TO re.
main in possession OF the King of Holland as
second. The naturalization of the Grand
Duchy is to be guaranteed by all the European
powers participating in the Conference.
"Third. The fortress OF Luxembourg ls TO be
razed."
If all parties are agreed to this, it is difficult
to see how any further misunderstanding can
grow out of the Luxembourg question. We
may therefore hope that the peace OF Europe
will not be Immediately disturbed. The atti-
tude Of France and Prussia towards each other
is such, however, as to leave but little doubt
that war between the two countries is not
far distant. Each is straining every nerve to
procure the most complete and effective arm
ing Of its people; each is maintaining vast
armies ready to spring to the contest at a
moments notice; and, what is more strange
and ominous than all else, the people of each
country are apparently mad with desire to
imbrue their hands in each others blood. 1t
is only the prudence and reserve of the rulers
that now keep the peace. The French feel
humiliated and exasperated by the powerful
and commanding position which Prussia has
attained among the nations of Europe. On

Political Economy uJnsoIdcd

Says the Cincinnati Times, in remarking
upon this subject: "Some editorial disciuit
of Dr. Franklin, in his system of political
economy applied to individual enrichment,
has shown how a 'nimble sixpence' NAV be
converted into fortune. lie gives a table
showing that "a cents saved per day would
yield, at O per cent. compound interest,
$4,000 in fifty years 81 cents a day, 81, 500
in the same time; 81 cents a day, $500
! cents, sl1,600; 134, $l4,5oO; 27t, S29,-

s2i, $4,000; s1.l0, SIG, and Sl.37
saved per day would yield $l45,O in fifty
years. So that if young man at 81 years
of age would save 271 cents every day, or
just 500 per year, he would at II years of
age be worth $4,000, when lust at the time
lie must close out for this world he would
possess competency. At 81 years of age
he would have SIS, 400, and at 81 wears of
age he would have $1,000, which would be
enough to support him in an old mans SIM
| plcity the balance Of his days. These facts
are certainly worth considering There are
many who could lot save "by hook or crook
not more than $50 a year, and they must
have the best of luck to do that The bal
ance OF mankind might, q few of them, save
$l37 per day, or $500 per year-thus realiz-

years OF age $3.50, at siXty-one, S3,OS6, and
and at seventy, S5,800-whicl would be a
great deal deter than nothing. On the
Whoie, the workingmen of this highly favor

year on the average, which would yield at
six per cent, compound interest with no
losses by broken creditors, or on mortgage

AGRICULTURAL. &C.
Culture Of CutelOups.

The Germantown Telegraph says: The
culture Of this fruit, unequalled, we think,
by any other grown, we aye glad to see is
becoming more general. Almost every per.
son having garden of any size is beginning
to try his hand at it, and it can be done
with as much success as raising crop of
corn. The ground should have a warm ex-
posure and be friabe- clay mould not being
adarted-the hills should be dug out six
inches and filled with wel-rotted manure
and rich soil-tve or six seeds should be put
at equal distances about an inch in depth,
and the "hill' should be even with the other
soil. The mills should be about six feet
apart each way. and the plants, when they
have passed all danger, should be thinned
out to about three IN hill. The oed must
be kept clear Of all weeds and grass, and
when the vines commence running they
should not he disturbed, or the rootlets con
nected with the vines, and by which it is
largely supplied with noprishment, will be
broken. The ground, as the vines begin To
extend, should be gone over with an iron
rake, especially after heavy shower, to
loosen it and give these rootlets chance to
take hold. They should he planted at the
time of cora planting.
There is no reason why all our tarmera
should not have patch OF canteloups for
family use. A plot of ground 20 10y 90 feet
would be enough for moderate sized

Nickel,

Since the introduction of the small nickel
coin as substitute for the old copper coin
age, the term nickel has been introduced
as new term of phraseology. and IS used to
designate hundredth part of the American
dollar. America is not the only country in
which nickel has been used for coinage; a
coin was struck in Bavaria some time before
the American coin was originated
Nickel is q metal of grayish. white color,
and is ductile and malleable. 1t has high
melting point and is but little acted upon by
dilute acids. 1t is somewhat used in the
manufacture of German-silver and the metal
called "albata." When nickel is heated in
contact with air it acquires various tints like
steel, and alter little time becomes covered
with a green oXyd. The origin of the name
"nickel" is said to have been given it by the
old German miners, who regarded it as "a
kind of false copper, and applied the term
nickel as au expression o. their contempt
for it.
Nickel has remarkable magnetic proper
ties, but upon being heated to six hundred
and sixty degrees it loses them The effect
OF the magnet on it is little inferior to that
which it exerts on iron. The meta! becomes
magnetic by friction with magnet or by
even beating it with a hammer. Several
years ago some magnetic needles were made
in France, and were preferred by many per-
sons to needles made of steel, on account of
better resisting the action of the air. BY
alloying the nickel with "copper" the mag
netic property is preserved, but is somewhat
diminished. If a small portion of arsenic be
alleged with nickel the magnetic property is
completely destroyed.
Nickel is usually associated with the ores
of copper, silver and cobalt, and is chiefly
obtained from the mines of Saxony, in Ger
many. 1t is also found iu Cornwall, Eng
land. Among the ores in which nickel is
found are 'nckei glance" and white nickel
two arsenical ores nickel stibine," an
antimonial sulphuret of nickel and ian
timonial nickel" containing no sulphur.
"Nickel pyrites" is a splphuret, of brass
yellow color, and contains about sixty-iive
per cent. of nickel "nickelterous pyri.es"
is double sulphuret of iron and nickel, and
is of bronze yellow color The NICKEL of
commerce is chiefly obtained from the"nick-
eilerQus pyrites" and from the ''speiss" OBJ
tanned in the treatment of the nckeliierous
ores of cobalt.
The Chinese employ nickel in the manu-
factuTe of white copper. When alloyed
with iron it gives a certain degree of hard
ness and whiteness to the iron. Five parts
of nickel and two of iron is moderately hard,
is malleable. and has the color of steel. The
iron of aerolites contains usually from three
TO ten per cent. of nickel. OXyd of nickel
is used to give colors to enamels and pOrce.
lain in different mixtures it produces brown,
red, and grass green TINS.

KILLING OLD NICK.-A young girl from
the country, lately on visit to Mr. H.. a
Quaker, was prevailed on to accompany him
to meeting. 1t happened TO be a silent
one, none of the brethren being moved by
the spirit to utter syllable. When Mr.. Ii.
left the meeting house with his young friend,
he asked her.
"How dost thee like the meetng2"
To which she pettishly replied;
Like it! Why cant see no sense in it.
To 60 and sit for whole hours without speak
ing word it is enough to kill Old Nick. p"
"Yea, my dear" rejoined the Quaker,
"that is jnst what We want"
