The Wonders Of Minute Workmanship.


In the twentieth year of Queen Eliza.
made lock, consisting of eleven pieces
of iron, steel and brass, all of which to-
gether with key to it, weighed but one
grain of gold. He also made a chain of
gold, consisting of forty-three links, and,
having fastened this to the before mention
ed lock and key, he put the chain about
the neck ola flea, which drew them with
all case. All these together, lock and key,
chain and flea, weighed only one grain
and half. Oswaldus Norhingerous, who
was mere famous even than Scaliot for his
minute contrivances. is said to have made
sixteen hundred dishes of turned ivory, all
perfect and complete in every part, yet so
SMALL thin, and slender that all Of them
were included at once in a cup turned out
of pcppercon of the common size.
Johannes Shad of Mitelbraun, carried this
wonderful work with him to Rome, and
showed it to Pope Paul V. WHO sat and
counted them all by the help of q pair of
spectacles. They were so little as to be
almost invisible to the eye. Johannes Fer
rarius, Jesuit, had in his possession can
mons of wood, with their carriages, wheels,
and all other military furniture, all of
which were also contained in a peppercorn
of the ordinary size. An artist named
Claudius Gallus made for Hippolytus
dEste, Cardinal of Ferrara, presentations
of sundry birds sitting on the tops of trees
which by hydraulic art and secret convey
ance Of water through the trunks and
branches of the trees, were made to sing
and clap their wings; but at the sudden
appearance of an owl out of bush of the
same artifice, they Immediately became all
mute and silent World Of Wonder.

DENT ON MIssIssIPPI.-Dent is called
Grants brother-in- Flaw; but the truth is
that, SO far as politics go, it is Grant that
is the brother-in -law. Dent is the true
man, and certainly understands the posi-
ton ofparties in Mississippiand the needs of
the crisis mnch better than his relative, the
President. His letter to Grant puts the
Presidents support of the extreme radicals
IN clear lightas mischievous step. His
classification of the present political ele-
ments in the State indicates that the peo.
pie there are allied not against those
who fought for the Union, nor against men
OF Northern birth nor against republicans,
but solely against men who urge pro-
scriptive policy in reconstruction and it
ought to be considered great error that
Grant has taken the Wendell Phillips side
in this difference Herald.

A Chinese Orator on Heathens.

The address made by I've Kim Orr,
ESQ, at the recent convention at Memphis,
3 would not suffer'by comparison in terse
ness r i point with the utterances of the
Caucasian "Man and BROTHER" whose gift
of CAB nobody will deny. 18th reference
TO the heather character of his country
men, Tye Kim Orr said:
II know the Chinese are heathens, but
you want cotton and cane, and if he makes
them you will not object very much to
him. AS to his being heather why shall
we send the Macedonian cry to you in
vain Shall they say Come and save us
in vain9 No, they do not even say that;
they will come benighted as they are, and
lie at your door, and say. DO, massa, teach
usn What are the railroads for? What
are the tclegraphs for? What is this nine
teenth century for, if not to bring 'thc
Word to the people who have it not Do
not spurn these people from you; you may
be the means of evangelizing them. The
Chinese are docile, patient, susceptible
people, and will follow and love those who
try to teach and benefit them. Love be-
gets love. You be kind to them and they
will love you. don't say that they are
all the same. No rule without exception.
But 1T is left to you to shut your door
against Chinese. Your land is your own.
My opinion is that Providence ordained
them to overrun the world There are
three hundred and fifty millions of them.
They are not physically strong, but have
good intention. They can't do so much
as white men, but do different kinds of
work. If you have grand house you
want cook. Ifyou have a big table you
want a foot stool. They can do great
deal, but warn you not to take them in
discriminatory. If you do, you get the
ohfscourings of the race. You must not
take the wharf rats; you must get them
from the rural districts of China--a hun
bred miles or so from the coast--where
the people are agriculturists."
This is putting the case as sensibly as
any Anglo-Saxon speech-maker could
Perhaps the Mongolians cannot help be-
ing "heathens" possibly it is their misfor-
tune rather than their fault as the saying
is; but be that as it may, it will be the
duty of the Christian churches to take
them in hand, and, if they can, convert
them to the religion of the Bible.

Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
