"stand Fast-stand Stretching ElIachse.'
"Stand Fast, Stand Sure, Craig Ellache" is
the motto of the Grant family in Scotland. A
newspaper correspondent gives an interesting
explanation: The crest of the Grant family
in Scotland is a burning mountain, and in the
heart of the Grant county rises to an immense
hight the mountain called Craig EIlachie
When the clan was required to be summoned
for war purposes or any other cause a fire was
lighted thereon to announce the fact, and the
slogan or war cry was passed from one to an
othe"-"Stand fast, Craig Ellachiel"-until
the whole clan was gathered at the foot of the
mountain.
The historian Motley in his recent very elo-
quent address made effective use of this war
cry for the purposes of his peroration. But
the Grant upon whom the attention of the civ
ilized world is now centered has himself spok-
en- on more occasions than one words of great
er eloquence and dignity. Grant no orator.
He has said more things in the course of the
last seven years in sentences not framed in the
elegant leisure of the student or the million
aire but called out by the stern exigences Of
battle or by the demands OF civil administra-
ton, for truth and right and progress than
Horatio Seymour has uttered in his elaborate
and carefully prepared addresses during the
entire period of his public life. Grant no ora
tor!-hs words have become proverbs and
have passed into the every day language of
the American people. Have Sepmour's
rounded periods attained that dignity
they been stamped with that most satisfactory
OF all proofs of excellence?-has he ever utter
I'D hot will ii
ephemeral life of campaign rallying cry?
All of Grants speeches" can be comprised
10 the limits of very moderate sized PAM
phlet, but there are dozen of them that EN-.
brace volumes of sentiment. Taking them at
random this point will be illustrated:

INDUSTRIOUS MUD -DIGGER.--Messrs. W. &
A. Curtis have Just built the largest mud ex-
cavator in the United States for Mr.. A.
Boschke OF Boston, Tor the purpose of exca-
waiting the flats at South Boston.
The digger is 80 feet long and 40 feet wide,
built in the most substantial manner. 1t has
double dredges, with 20 large iron buckets on
each elevator. The elevators are placed on
the sides of the scow and can be worked singly
or together.
The manner 10 which it operates is different
from anything we have before SEEN Two large
scows are anchored ahead and astern of the
digger, about 200 feet apart These scows are
secured by timbers that are driven into the
mud, and raised, when necessary, by ma
chinery. Two chains run through the digger
and are attached to the anchored scows.
When the engines are in operation it moves a
shovel, which is held in position under the
dredger by an arm:-one of these shovels being
attached to the lower end of each elevator
As the dredger moves along between the two
anchored scows, the shovels stir up the mud
and the buckets on the elevator scoopit up and
deposit in a scow secured to the forward part
OF tue ureuSe.
The elevator runs by two engines with cyl
inders six by eight inches, acting independent
of each other. There are two main engines for
running the machinery and moving the
dredger, with cylinders IA ny 20 inches.
The boilers, engines, buckets, &C., were made
by the Portland Company, and are OF the most
substantial kind. Everything connected with
this monster dredger has been ~nt 70,
strength, regardless OF expense.
Messrs. Curtis also built the
seows, and a dozen of mud
dredSer.

story of the Dutch General BIencker Dur

PORTLAND CABINET ORGANS. While on a
visit to the late State Fair, just held in Port
land, (which, by the way, has been perfect
success" our attention was called to the Cab-
net Organs manufactured by Win. p. Hast
ings, of Portland. Certainly Mr.. ii. has every
reason to be proud of such instruments as he
had on exhibition, combining power, richness,
delicacy of tone, and quckness of action: no
matter how fast the fingers ran over the keys
the tone was always clear and definite. In
small churches, where the society does not feel
able to have large church organ, orwish to
purchase one of quite limited resources, we
feel confideNt these instruments world prove
exceedingly satisfactory to both oreanist and
congregation; therefore without anything fur

almost absolutely upon the gullibility of the

they thought them to be to the interest of the
Rebels of the South, and would carry out their

thought the great masses of honest, hard
working men would not find it out; that they

The San Francisco Bulletin relates, as illus
trative Of the speed with which the Pacific
railroad is built, that few days since a mer-
chant came down to the city from the eastern
side of the Sierra Nevada. Having bought an
extensive assortment of goods, he gave direc-
tons that they should be shipped to the end
of the Central Pacific Railroad, wherever that
should be, expecting to have a considerable
job of teaming to fill up the gap between the
working end OF the road and his place of BUSH
ness. His directions were obeyed to the letter.
But, to his astonishment, on returning he
found that the goods ordered had been carried
about fifteen miles beyond his residence!

Religious InteIIigence.

The Annual Convention of the Massachu-
sets Baptist Association was held at Spring
field this week. The question of the right OF
the unimmersed 70 communion was debated
with some warmth, and aresolution was adopt
ed declaring "that this Convention, in common
with the denomination, recognize the order of
baptism before the Lords supper as of divine
appointment, it having been observed by the
Apostles and the New Testament, and for any
inversion OF this order We have no precept
example or allusion in the Word of God"
The American Missionary Association
have also been in session at Springfield. A
Col. Balor of Georgia spoke forcibly of the ne
cessity of educated labor at the South, and
General Howard of the equal need OF Chris
tan education. The Association appeals for
$500 900 for the ensuing year.
"A recent letter from Rome says: The

gives the law almost as absolutely In the Eter-
nal City as at Paris"
