Opeuing of the Tomb of William Rufus.

The tomb of William Rufus, in Winch
ester Cathedral, England, was opened a
fortnight ago. The London Telegraph
says:
'.From their first hasty grave Williams
remains were, at some time unknown, re-
moved to a sareophagus near the altar. -
This sarcophagus occupies an inconvenient
situation; and the dean and chapter were
DESTROYS, if they found that the sarcophagus
contained no human relics, to remove it to
another site. The doubt whether it held
the dust OF Rufus dated from the disturb
ance of the cathedral tombs by the Parha-
mentary soldiers, who used the bones of
the dead to break the painted windows. AT
the Restoration the remains thus violated
were collected into six chests, ranged on
either side of the altar; and of these actu-
ally bore an inscription TO the effect that
Williams remains were there contained. If
the sarcophagus had been sacked in 1912,
and the frail contents mingled with the
ashes ofa inferior yet illustrious crowd in
the six mortuary chests, there seemed no
reason why the obstacle should not be re-
moved from the choir; and this was what
the cathedral authorities designed. But
the sarcophagus was not empty; it dis
closed TO the sight of the exploring sur
geons a nearly perfect male skeleton, pre-
senting evidences of previous removal,
the remnants of some insignis of author
ity, and, as one account states, even the
remains of the fatal arrow. The skeleton
is fully believed to be that of William
Rufus; and the relics, after accurate MEM
oranda have been made, were reverently
restored to the sarcophagus, whence they
are not likely to be removed"

PRESERVATION OF BUILDINGS FROM De
cAY.-We have before adverted to the use
of superphosphate of lime and barytes in
protecting calcareous stone from the cor
rosive action of the sulphuric acid liberated
by burning coal Another method adapted
and much used lately, is the application OF
several coats of soluble glass. This has
now been tried on many large edifces in
France, England, Germany, &c, with
gratifying success-forming a transparent
coating, which does not deface the stone
in the least-allowing the finest carving to
be seen through it.

Elopement Among the FasliOnables.

Z
Long Branch correspondent of the
New York Commonwealth reports the fol-
lowing
The Philadeiphians and New Workers do
not coalesce very readily, you know. The
former think the latter reckless and rapid,
rather unsafe persons on the whole; while
the latter consider the former narrow aud
provincial, and not agreeable acquaintance
under any circumstances Such being the
feeling: there is very little inter commune
cation between Howland's and the Stetson,
though the Stetson has considerable Phila-
delphIa patronage this season.
Some weeks ago very staid and conser-
vative resident of the City of BrOtherly
Love came 10 this house with his wite and
two demure looking, but pretty daughters
eighteen and twenty years old. Some of
his friends wanted him 70 stay at How
lands, but he preferred Stetson's. He
seemed 10 like the house very much, but
both he and his wife were as much con-
cerned about the girls as though they had
been duennas in Madrid.
Hattie and Josephine were not permitted
to talk to any of the young men, and the
parents were particularly watchful when
they found the daughters had made the ac-
quaintance of two rather fast young New
Workers.
The girls eluded the vigilance of papa
and mamma, and had frequent stolen, and,
l suppose, therefore, delicious interview
with the Manhattanese. After two weeks
of acquaintance, Josephine was missing at
breakfast one morning, and so was one of
the New Workers. The coincidence was
not difficult to explain. The grief of the
parents was mitigated by further inquiry.
The Gothamite scape-grace had been
honorable, and Josephine was already Mrs.
-. As to Hattie. she had intended to
elope with the other fellow; but letter
bad failed and marred the arrangements.
She was in copious tears, not because she
had transgressed, but because she had not
tTans9ressed successfully.
To do an interdicted thing. and not reap
the fruit of introduction, is not the least of
womanly woes Eve, in her expulsion
from Eden, was consoled by the thought
that she accomplished all she undertook
to accomplish.

quilted the Branch at once. Whether they
have pardoned their new son-in-law, or
whether Hattie triumpbed in second at

means of knowing. But l am sure that in
the mind of that good man, New York and
New Workers do not command premium.

THE OxYHYDRoGEN LIGHT.-It is stated
that an Improvement has recently been
made in the apparatus for producing light
by the condensation of mixture ofoxygen
and hydrogen gases. Heretofore the jet
of the gas has been directed upon small
Jumps of calcium or magnesium, which the
intense heat rendered incandescent. The
difficulty has been that these alkalies both
crumble by use, and fall to pieces. In
place of them it is proposed to employ the
Substance called zircon, which resists the
flame without the least sign of wear or
shrinkage. II may even be used with the
same result on the form, of a coating or
plating of magnesia, or even fire-clay.-
Zircon is at present quite rare, being found
only at particular spot at the foot OF
the Ural Mountains, and IN some volcanic
sands.

A LAKE SCHOONER N NEW ORLEANS. We
clip the following from one of our New Or
leans exchanges:
There is large schooner in port at New
Orleans called the .Narragansett, which has
a history connected with its name. The
schooner was built at Cleveland, o., went
through several of the western lakes, and
through the Welland canal, as well as down
the st. Lawrence, and has thus come back
from the gulf of st. Lawrence, and thence
to and from European port to New Or
leans. The Narragansett is a vessel built
away up in the Western country, which, 80
years ago was a wilderness. The Narrag-
ansett is far from being the first vessel
built on the Northern lakes which has
come down, through many vicissitudes of
stumps and falls, rapids and shoals, and
still has navigated old ocean as well and
successfully as one whose timbers were

The Recent Indian Hostilities.

Pond City, Kansas, letter says the re-
cent Indian outbreak was preconcerted on
the part of the Indians, with well matured
plans and was not an attack by a strolling
body of Indians. The letter says stimuli
taneous attack was made on all the advanc-
ed settlements east and west for thou
sand miles in extent. This proves that it
was a well understood plan on the part of
the Indians.
& party of scouts recently discovered
where the Indians had held n large war
council The medicine pole was still
standing, with a hundred black rings paint
ed around it, showing the number of bands
present, with a red stripe on the northwest
side of the pole, showing the direction
their women and children had taken. On
the southeast side of the pole IA black stripe
indicated the course of the party to the
settlements on the Solomon; and larger
stripe on the north, showing that the main
army had taken that course. The letter
charges those interested in contracts with
an attempt to screen the Indians and calls
upon the government to protect the set
tiers and drive the Indians to their reser-
vations.

PROGRESSIVE SCIENCES.

The "dull times that summer brings to our
rural villages, has afforded leisure for new inven
tons; and we are not altogether backward in this
sort of progress. A considerable class of persons
here, of mixed sizes and ages, developing theil
energies in new employment, the moral and Pc
cuniary results of which cannot exactly be foretod
yet. The process is simple. Three little holes arc
dug two yards apart, upon the side walk, in di
rect line with each other, and fourth one at right
angles with the line. Then standing few feet of
little ball or marble is rolled at the first hole, and
one after another in succession, by the seeeral per-
sons so employed, with the intent to put the bal
in the hole Various scientific maneuvres are
then practiced, of skirmishing, rounding, and
knocking, until somebody has placed his ball in
each of the holes. This continues frequently fol
several hours, somewhat to the annoyance al
times, of foot passengers, who.may be engaged
in other vocations. The labor is considerable, but
the characteristic energy of our people is fully vim
dicated in the persistency with which the work il
conducted. The beauty of the thing is, that ii
affords employment to large and small alike, and
may be profitable; we don't know.

Yet these are men of high character, compared
with those now coming up from the South. There
are whole delegations to the House from large
Southern States that do not contain one man as
reputable in private life, or as respectable in ability
and experience, as Senator Fowler. There are
plenty of them for whom Senator Patterson may
stand as the type. "God only knows what we are
to do with these creatures, exclaimed one Of the
leading members of the Republican party and one
of its most prominent Congressman. 'They seem
to be without character at home; they have not
very much hope of retaining their hold on their

IMPORTANT ORDERS.

Gen. Candy, on the 3Oth ultimo, issued an order
directing that 'all officers of the State Of South
Carolina duly elected and qualified under the con-
stitution thereof, and not prohibited from holding
Office in said State by the third section of the pro
posed amendment to the Constitution of the UNI
ted States, known as Article Fourteen, will, upon
the ratification of the said amendment BY the Leg
islature, be inaugurated without delay, taking
the oath of Office prescribed by the Constitution o
the State, and otherwise qualifying, in conformity
with the laws of said State. y ...
The same order, also removes Governor Orr,
and appoints Robert X. Scott, Governor elect, te
be Governor of South Carolina. The order is vo
luminous in its details of the duties Of the newly
elected officers under the Constitution.
On the lst instant, another order was issued
designating the County officers elect, from which
we extract the following paragraph pertaining to
this County:
YoRK-Sheriff, Robert H. Glenn; Clerk ol
Court of Common Pleas, Joseph +. Wallace Cor
oner, j. f. Jeferys; Judge of Probate Court
Frank G. Harris School Commissioners, Robert
Latham; County Commissioners, Calvin Whiso'
nant Benjamin F. Briggs, Peter Garrison.
This Order probably sets at rest the claims Of
certain contestants for these Offices in York, who
were defeated in the late elections.
