Nor TO BE KICKED.-About twenty years
ago Abraham Doolit,le was transplanted from
Harvard University to one of the Southern
States, for the purpose of assuming the edi-
torial control of a violent party paper, where
no one ever labored for the advantage of the
party simply because an infinite quantity of
pistols and multiplicity of bowie knives
prevented the advocacy of certain principles
and fettered freedom of speech in q style
perhaps not so elegant as efhcacious. Doolit
tie was a Connecticut exotic. He was higly
educated. impetuous, brave, yet-with the
characteristic cunning of his race,-careful
of his own interests. He took hold of the
paper with determination to make it ser
vicable to the cause" and servicable he did
make it. The opposing candidate was a bad
felow-a duelist, a dram-drinker, lover
of poker, n decided votary of Venus
Doolittle dared what no other editor had
dared-he said so. The day on which his ar
ticle appeared the candidate entered the edi-
torial chamber.
You are Doolittle, the editor of this pa
per-" holding copy of the sheet in his
hand.
Il am."
" You have libeled and insulted me, and
| drawing large knife) have come for your
ears"
81 beg your pardon" said Doolittle. 81
am stranger to your customs, and perhaps
have taken license which. in this country,
is inexcusable. Such is, think, the fact !;
suppose we compromise the matter"
Nery well" said the bluff Southerner
"I'll kick you, and you shall make full
retraction."
" You'll what? said Doolittle quietly.
Kick YOU"
90 You insist upou that little privilege ?"
g | am nnalterably fixed in my determi-
nation"
90 So am |, ;" said Doolittle, firing horse
pistol, as big as blunderbuss, and shatter-
ing the Southerner's right leg-"n not to be
kicked"
He held his situation six months; was
stabbed twice, shot three times, belabored
with b.udgeon once, thrown into a pond
once, but he was never kicked. During his
six months experience ne killed two of his
adverserles. These are facts.

CONCRETE SroNF''-A GREAT DISCOVER

CONCRETE SToNE"-A GREAT DISCOVERY.
For some time past, says the Philadelphia
Press. we have heard vague rumors of a new
method of producing stone for building and
ornamental purposes. We have at length
had an opportunity of examining specimens
ard hearing testimony from those who have
Just subjected the article to practical tests.
Our Judgment with regard to the matter is
that the invention referred to will soon be-
come enc Of the most important. The stone
itself equals in beauty the finest brown or
pictoa stones. 1t can be produced in blocks
of any required dimensions or forms, suit
able for solid masonry or architectural en-
bellishments. 1t is constructed of ordinary
sand mixed with a solution of silicate of soda,
and the cost of its production in plain blocks
or slabs is less than that at which natural
stone can be obtained. All that is necessary
is. to procure the necessary moulds to make
the size and form of stone needed, and the
work of turning heaps of sand into solid and
magnificent building material is matter of
easy accomplishment and astounding dis
patch. The tests of strength and durability
have been most satisfactory. The stone thus
formed is stronger by half than any other,
and its endurance is claimed to equal the
old Roman ooncretes or mortars. which have
remained unchanged during period of two
thousand years. If all that is alleged in
favor Of the concrete st0ne' is substantial
ed it is destined rapidly to supersede all
other building materials, and its manufac.
ture will become the foremost industrial in
terest of .he age.

How TO SEE THE WIND.-Take q polished
metallic surface of two feet or more, with a
straight edge-a large handsaw will answer
the purpose. Take windy day, whether
hot or cold, clear or cloudy, only let it not
rain, or the air be murky-in other words,
let the air be dry and clear it is better if
the wind be steady, but this is not essential.
Hold your metallic surface at right angles to
the direction of the wind-E. c., if the wind
is north hold your surface directed east and
west, but instead of holding the surface YER
teal, incline it about forty five degrees to the
horizon, so that the wind, striking, glances
and flows over the edge keeping it straight)
the water over dam. Now sight care
fully over the straight edge at some minute
and sharply defined object, and you see the
air flow over as the water flows over dam.
Make your observations carefully, and you
will hardly ever fail to see the air, no matter
how cold the result is even better when
the sun is obscured. ,

A SOUND TREASURY DEcIsIoN.-A Wash.
ington correspondent relates the following
incident in which general T. Z. Spinner,
whose faithfuness TO the national Govern
ment amounts TO a passion, took occasion to
speak his mind:
y very amusing scene occurred to-day, in
the Office Of General Spinner, tie United
States Treasurer General Edward johnson
who commanded division of soldiers in the
rebel army, visited the Office of General
Spinner, this morning, and presented claim
against the United States Government FIR
some S400.. Ii seems this amount was due
him as major of a regiment in the United
States service, which position he deserted
and entered the rebel army at the bre king
out of the war Before leaving the service
he presented his voucher to a United States
paymaster tor payment, and a draft for the
amount was sert him but before it reached
him he had fed and entered the service Of
the Coniederacy. Having rejected pardon
from the President, he now laws claim to the
old balance as due him. After General Spin
ner heard his case be saluted Ex General
johnson something in this style: - don't
see how you can make such a claim as this
You deserted your Government, and evel
since have been stealing everything yor
could lay your hands on and robbing her o.
her property. You now make a claim fol
back pay. If understand the law, deser
ton makes forfeiture of all pay and allow
ances due ut the time. or what NAV here
after become due" To this Gen. johnson
replied that alr. Spinner was mis- aiken, anc
that he did not consider what he did deser
ton or robbery that he did what lie consd
cred right, and demanded the payment o
his claim. Gen. Spinner replied a seconc
time that he considered that he johnson
had been stealing from the United States
Government for four years, and dii no
deserve the amount claimed and that h.
would not pay it. Mr.. johnson left silently
but evidently chagrined.
