A Deep Snow in California,

A California paper gives rather hard
to-believe story of the depth of the snow
on the Sierra Nevada mountains ia Feb.

pair of suow-shoes, and took the tracks
OF some who had gone over the day before.
After some honrs Of hard travel he arrived
where the town should be, but not a house
was visible. While he was looking around,
man suddenly came up out of the snow,
like mermaid out of the sea. Adams
asked the man if he could tell him where
Meadow Lake was, not knowing as yet
whether the object before him was man
or a spirit. "Why," said the fellow, s'you
are right on the plaza" Adams asked him
if he could show him where the store Of

along" A few shoves on pair Of snow
shoes soon brought them to q round hole,
in the snow, and Adams was told that hat
was the hole which led to the store There
were stairs made in the snow like spiral
way, twisting several times around the
hole in making the dissent. Finally he
arrived at the bottom, and was astonished
to find his friends there happy and gay,
and ready to vouch for the country being
one ofthe richest ever discovered. From
the store they travelled over the town
through tunnels. Every one seemed to
be coutented with his lot. The citizens
seldom go to the top of the snow, except
when there is snow-shoe race, at which
tine the whole town turns out

How Paper Collars are Made.

A correspondent describes the process
OF making paper collars and cuffs at fac
tory in Biddeford, Me-. The paper from
which they are formed comes ia large
sheets of the required thickness. Some
forty of these sheets are placed one upon
another, and then movedgunder the die
which cuts through the whole, giving the
F psl Il te fhHR Sv e s aad0 E I'D ssa
and forty more are cut, and SO on to the
end. The button holes are next made.
Some half dozen collars are placed under
the dies, and the three holes cut in each
instantly. Next the collars are placed
one at time under die or mold which
impresses the stitching upon them and
marks the line by which the collars are
to be turned or doubled. The collars are
then doubled or turned over one at a time
by hand, run through a machine which
presses them, and, they are finished
They are then packed in boxes Of ten
each, and ten of these boxes put in "a
larger one, when they are ready for
market. 49,. ... ..',ir, NJ
h9 Guns are cut with dies alter the
same manner as the collars, the button
holes cut by similar method; and then
they are stitched and then packed for
market. Three styles Of cellars are made
plain enamel and linen surface, the pa
per being finished in a particular manner
for each of these different. styles The
average size Of necks is l4a inches. Some
collars are made 164 inches long but
most are sold Of al, IA and Is inches.r--
The present capacity Of this mandatory
is 26, 900 collars a day, but with, new
cutting machine nearly ready, its capacity
will be more than doubled. Most of the
work is done by females. Twelve hands
are now employed, but in the autumn dou-

The Opening Of the Amazon.

Last Saturday, the 7th of September
was the Brazilian fourth of July, the ami
versary of the independence Of Brazil
and on that day, this year, according to a
proclamation issued last December, the
Amazon, the great river, or King of Wa
ters, as the Indian name Para signifies
was thrown open, from the Atlantic to
the boundaries of Peru. Henceforth all
nations may freely use this great highway
'of commerce, which gives steamboat nav
igation from the Atlantic coast to within
ninety leagues of Lima. Peru has alse
by treaty with Brazil, and by former
treaty with the United States, granted
the free navigation of her Amazonian wa
tiers. Navigation thus extends almost
across the continent. The Morona, sea
going Peruvian steamer, built by the
PenDS of London, assembled, IN October,
1864, from the mouth of the river to with.
in ninety leagues ofthe city of Lima.
The valley of the Amazon is vast and
fertile wilderness, with here and there a
town on the borders of the great river
The most important and productive parts
of Venezuela, New Grenada, Ecuador,
Peru and Bolivia, as we'll as of Brazil, are
drained by its waters. Its valley has an
area equal to the whole United States,
without the Pacific States, and yet the
population of the Amazon valley is at
present no greater than that of the single
city of Brooklyn. But new measures in
regard to grants of lands and emigrants
have just been proposed in the Brazilian
Parliament, which, if carried out, cannot
fail tSinduce emigration to this equatorial
valley-wherc the mercury never rises as
high as in New York, aud where yet the
rich and useful staples, coffee, sugar, cot
ton, rice, India rubber, &C., &C., repay the
industrious laborer thousand fold.

The Stables of New York.
From the Ne,o York Evening Gazette

The granite Baptist Church, with a
neat iron railing in front, which stands
on Amity street, between Greene and
Wooster, is now used by Mr.. A. T. Stew
art as stable for the horses which he
employs in his dry goods trade. They
are known as express or dray horses, and
do all the work, delivering the goods as
we'll as hauling them to and from the
store. A plumber of churches in the low.
er regions of the city have been trans.
formed into stables, while some are occu.
pied for more ignoble purposes, The
basement or Sunday School room of the
Baptist Church is used as a store-roonl
for the drays and express wagons the
second floor of the church, where the con.
gregation used to meet, is filed with hay
and straw. A cutting machine stands
where the pulpit used tc, and immense
bins for meal, oats, etc., have been arran.
ged around the sides of the room. Oh
course, the chandelier, the choir and the
pulpit have been taken down the pews,
prayer-books and carpets removed, but
everything else remains as before.
A large brick building for the horses
and stalls has been added to the rear end
of the church. The sunshine is admitted
through skylights, many of which are ar
ranged to open with cords and pulleys for
the purpose of ventilation. This stable
for work horses is considered model one
and is pronounced one of the best, if not
the best in New York. When we re.
member how thoroughly, and with what
good taste, Mr.. Stewart has built his
stores aud dwelling house, which are the
pride and admiration of the city, we may
be sure that neither expense nor art have
been spared to make this stable as heal.
thy, convenient aud perfect as possible.
The stalls are arranged in sets of fur
each, placed each side of broad aisle
much like pews in church. The floor
of the stalls is of wood, and inclines at a
slight angle from the head of the stall to
the entrance. The rest of the floor is
paved with brick. There are thlty.two
stalls in the room, force Of this number
of horses being required by Mr.. Stewart
to carry on his business. About twenty
Vt these arc employed at the wholesale or
down town store, and six at the up town
or retail store. They are sometimes kept
out until ten o'clock at night delivering
packages. Poor Miss Flora McFIimsey
has nothing to wear Six horses run
hing until ten o'clock, p. NJ, to deliver
silks, laces, shawls and kid gloves.

THE FELLOW THAT LOOKS LIKE ME.

In sad despair wander,
My heart is filled with woe,
When on my griefI ponder,
What to dol do not know.
For cruel fate does on me frown,
And the trouble seems to be;
There's another fellow in this ere town
That's just the image of me.

Oh wouldn't like to catch him,
Whoever he may be,
Oh wouldn't give him particular fits,
That fellow that looks like me.

But was stopped in the street by man
Who said, pay this bill you owe.
In vain said, | know you not,
He wouldn't let me free,
Till crowd got round and paid the bill
For the fellow that looks like me.

Through a narrow street up town,

Who said, Ive caught you, Mr. Brown;
You know my daughter you have wronged
Though this gal never did see,
He beat me till was black and blue,
For the fellow that looks like me.
One evening sat sparkling
A girl as dear as lfe
When lady who had just dropped in,
SAYS, Brown, how is your wife ?
In vain said Pm single man,
Though married wish to be
They called me swindler and kicked me out
For The fellow that looks like me.

And was just enjoying the sport,
When policeman grabbed me by the arm
Saying, you're wanted down at Court.

The Great Mnsonms of enc WorId.

Professor Agassz, in a letter to the Boston
Transcript, replying to some criticisms made by
a correspondent OF that paper, says:-
In the second place, am called to account
Tor having stated that the Jardn des Plantes
and the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cam
bridge are the only institutions III the world
where instruction is given in connection with
the collections. think no one of my hearers
can have failed to understand that was speak
ing not OF institutions of learning gene.
rally, but OF great museums. OF course, | am
aware that there are many universities, col
leges, and even high schools, where courses of
lectures are given in connection with col
lections; this Is indeed rather the rule than the
exception in all European schools. But special
collections, intended for instruction, and
limited 10 what is needed for general study,
ought not to be confounded with museums or
ganized with view to the advancement of
science, and destined to educate scientific men.
We have such an elementary collection tor the
use OF the general stuuents within the Museum
itself. Such collections ought to be put up in
our normal and high schools.
But the great museums of the world, de-
voted exclusively to the advancement Of science,
such the Jardn des Plantes, the British
Museum, the Museum at Leyden, the Frankfort
Museum, and those of Vienna and st. Petersburg,
are not educational institutions. On the other
hand, the great universities, such as Oxford and
Cambridge in England; Paris, Montpelier,
Strasbourg, ETC., IN Frence; GOttingen, Heidel-
burg, Vienna, etc. etc., iu Germany are not
connected with great museums. The museums
at Berlin and Munich. existed there before
the 1OunuaJlOn OF the universities
OF those cities. The same is true in
this country. Neither the Smithsonian In
stitution, nor the Academy of Natural Sciences
in Philadelphia, nor the Boston Natural History
Society, have any provision for public instruc-
ton, and am not aware that any of our col
leges has frst-Class museum connected with
it. Mir. Peabody's liberal donations are no doubt
at this moment leading to the erection OF seve-
raj, ana trust this discussion will suggest the
Importance of making our scientific collections
more generally useful for study.
But at present this is not the case. The Smith
sonian Institution in Washington and the
Museum OF Comparative Zoology at Cambridge
are the only ones open daily TO the public with
the sole reservation of the time necessary for
the maintenance OF order and neatness.
To the great museums enumerated above |
hope the Cambridge Museum will be added as
soon as its treasures can be opened TO the
public Meanwhile | repeat the statement made
considerably in the first instance, that of these
frst-class museums, the Jardin des Plantes and
the museum at Cambridge are the only ones
which are organized as educational establish
ments, and whose course of instruction, free of
charge, IS open to the public. L. AGAssIz.

The Musical powers of the Chinese.

The following interesting particulars have
been received in England from "A gentleman In
Hong Kong, who is engaged in teaching tonic
sol-ta singing g-cass there;-
'I believe this to be almost the first attempt
TO teach the reading of music to this wonderful
people. The Chinese themselves have no tunes
and no idea of music. Their instruments can
produce but two or three tones, and their sing
ing is screechlng in talsetto to no kind OF tune.
The conventional terms of nigh and low are
utterly unknown to them. Why, they ASK
should shnll note be up and grave note
be DOWN. Their voices are harsh to painful
degree, and their talent for hattening wonder
tul. They must never be asked to 60 above d.,
and after half an hours singing lose all COM
mand of their voices. They also incline to
bawl." But, Notwithstanding all these him
dTances, the experiment seems to be succeeding.
The tonic sofia method seems adapted for the
Chinese AS well as the English. The writer con-
tinues:-"if the new tune set before them be an
easy one, 1t is positively sung the first time
without an error ifa difficult one, two or three
trials may be required.n The class has been
formed into a choir for Union Church. DIR
