tributor's' sketch of Richard III. Some
Of our readers may only have read Shak::
speare's version, and if SO We commend
the following to them: ->.', .s<'i,
Richard the Third was one Of the
kings of England, who had wonderful
faculty Of bereaving the family of any
person he did not like. He could pro-
vide funeral with . corpse upon as
short notice as any man in the business.
he couldn't be fooled into q bargain

let him fall when ne was an infant, and
a hump back was the consequence. He

lent in winter, and frequently alluded to
it, particularly if he had to 60 on the
stage anywhere. This winter of his dis:
content was only relieved by the visits
Of a little son he had in York, who made
GLORIOUS summer" for him even In the
middle of January" ~'& ''.''4 :.
a bright youth, son perhaps Of farmer
Jones wife, she Of the tender hearted
boys, on being asked what he was going
to do with club, said -: =: -:
"Sepd it to the editor Of course."-H
"But what for?"
'~"'Cause he says If anybody sends him
a club, he will send thema paper."
"But what does be want With It 2:
"Well, don't know" replied this hope
ful, SUNLESS it is to knock down subscri-
bers with as don't pay for their paper,
and cut up their censciences for shoe

It was Mrs Smith who said she had
lived with the defendant for eight years {:

''Yes, your honor, three of 'em-two
gals and boy" .... H.. 80, 49,.
What stronger proof need be given OF
loving her, than this answer of demon

heart ''did he love her !" .-y-....

Then why don't our President take
them to stop his rerenew, which IS SO
dreadful expansive? If he was my bus

cured him Of all bis failins."
A boy and girl Of tender years were
disputing as to what their mothers could
do. Getting impatient, the little damsel
blurted out by the way Of climax and as

huge, empty sugar hogshsads lying in
front of the captains store the other
day, and would inevitably have perished
but forthe timely assistance rendered
him by charming young lady about
knee high to q duck and not overly
large at that, who helped him out Of the

the sex generally, and his admiration of
little women in particular, induces US to
insert the following:
In little precious stone what splendor

In little lump Of sugar how much sweet>

So in little woman, love grows and multi
plies
You recollect the proverb says-"a word IN,

A pepper>corn Is very small, tus seasons

More than all other condiments, though It's
sprinkled thinner
Just so little woman is, if love viii let you
There's not JOY in all the world you win

A subject for all seasons, is courting,

their course of true love runs smoothly

CAMPAIGN SONG,

As the election approaches, we may
ieek for a large crop of spirited cam.
rAign songs. One Of the first of them,
which appeared in the New York Dis
patch, rings with a vigorous and stirring
strain, rs follows:
"Hurrah! for Old Appomattox! Hurrah for
General Grant!
With whom we whipped the rebels, and a
song for him we chant.
Well rally round his battle-fag, the flag Of
Union true,
And drive the Rebel Gray again before the
o! he knows the Boys in Blue! Yes! he.
knows the Boys in Blue,
And with ballots as with bullets he will find
them ever true;
And the Graybacks as the copperheads will
learn the truth anew,
That our Yankee lads will ne'cr forget the
wearing of the Blue.
They may weep for Stoncwall Jackson, and
Of Lee they still may yaunt,
While We shout for Old Appomattox, and
vote for General Grant;
They may sympthizc with Davis and uphold
his beaten crew,
But no Rebel Gray shall ever stay the Loyal
Boys in Blue.
o! we trust the Boys in Blue! Oh! we know
the Boys in Blue,
And they'll never finch, or give an inch,
while work they have to do;
So, bring on your Rebel Gray again, and give
US but a view,
And we'll show you that we don't forget the
wearing of the Blue :"

Npw DRsULpHUNRIZIG PROCESS.

In the disqualification Of auriferous
pyrites, Mcssrs. Whelpley and Storer
propose to burn finely powdered ore,
wholly surrounded by air (aoated in the

passing out Of the hue, and yet remov-
ing the products Of combustion in ma
chinery for powderiug the ore, and in
suudry chemical processes Of treatment
Of solutions obtained by letting the
burning ore fall into the water. An ore
containing twenty-three per cent. OF
sulphur was burned at the rate OF n ton
and a halls an hour aud all the sulphur
burned out, and that 40 part of the ore

they were desired to be retained. The
machinery consists Of M upright lue,
n horizontal flue set over a water tank,
u fan-blower blowing in the dust of one
and q fan-blower drawing out the fumes
and washing them as they pass through
it with a heavy watery mist. This is
the water furnace. The fire-places play
q very subordinate part in working the
furnace. Their only use is to heat the
top of the round upright flue, for as
soon as that is done, right down the
centre of the tower is blown q fine
stream Of powdered charcoal which
flashes in flame and heats the whole in

As soon as the blazing charcoal had
heated the walls, the ore was let on, and
the charcoal cut off, and the burning of
the sulphur in the ore gave out heat
enough to maintain the-walls white-hot,
as before, so that the ore really burned
Itself. 1t was stated that the furnace
had been run n whole day with only one

the work being done by pulverizsd coal

THE GREAT ORGAN AT LUoERSE.-The
Rev. DR.. Bellows, writing from Switzer-
land, describes the great organ at Luz
cernc, rs follows: cit is played twice
every day for one hour, and fu finishes a
favorite resort for travellers. stumbled
into the church first at tho very hour
the organ was being exhibited, and with
no knowledge Of its merits, and ~ofcoursc
without any special expectations. But
the hush Of the little audience showed
that something unusual was going on,
and It required only a few minute to
bring me wholly under the spell Of the
most magical stops that / had ever
listened to. The player, | found after n
second hearing, was not q very great
one, but the organ itself was wonderful,
and.he understood perfectly how to ex-
hibit it, undertaking only whath he could
do with entire success. The power Of
the full organ was immense, and as
sweet as it was powerful. l could COM
pare it only to the effect Of great park
Of artillery heard OF o distance sufficient
to mellow the thunder. But the ZOE
humane was the speciality Of this organ,
and certainly nothing more successful
in the way Of imitation vas ever done.
At first, after n bold introduction Of the
full organ, we heard o choirof children's
voices, singing apparently in q neigh
boring cloister; then a chorus Of mems
voibes took up the strain, and came
nearer and nearer, as if one, and then
another door between US and them had
been opened. I could not persuade my
self for a long time that q choir vas not
concealed in some adjoining apartment;
but it vas finally clear that no choir
could keep such time aud agreetogether
to such expression. Nothing by tones
moro human or more angelic was ever
permitted to yisitmy cars. At times
the mighty instrument was subdued to
the gcntleness of on infants breathing,
and We all held our breath, not to lose
the least sigh of its dscaying harmony.
II seemed as If q choir. Of seraphs had
strayed out.of heaven, and were. over
heard by chance az they flew by"

TRiBUfE TO THE PILGRIM FATHERS
The late John G. Calhoun, in q letter to
the New England Society at Washing
ton, declining an invitation to dinner on
Forefather's Day, thus spoke Of the Pill
grims: "By what causes has so incon-
siderable a beginning under such for
midable and apparently almost insur-
mountable difficulties, resulted ia so
brief a period in such mighty conse-
quences? They are to be found in the
high moral and intellectual qualities Of
the Pilgrims. Their faith, piety and
confident trust in a experimenting
Providence, their stern virtues, their
patriotic love Of liberty and order;
their devotion to learning; and their
indomitable courage and perseverance ;
these are tho causes which have sur
mounted every obstacle, and led to such
mighty results"

Of the Turkish sabre. When he thought

of the outraged countess proceeded to

Two thousand years before the birth of

nor his thrift, through u hundred and
fourteen generations, returned from
Egypt, "very rich in cattle, in silver
and in gold" Afterward, says the bib
lical record, he bought the cave Of
Machpelah-wbere his bones were to
rest beside those of Sarah, the wife Of
his youth-for ''four hundred shekels
of silver, current money Of the mer-
chant" The. Catholic version has it
"common current money" The shekel
was about sixty cents of Jul gold. 1t
was weighed, not counted, for there
were no minis. in those days. Herod-
etus asserts that coinage originated With
the Lydians. The coins Of the world
have since been like the leaves Of au-
