CAsIMR DELAvIaNE's MEMORY.
French dramatist Casimir Delavigne had
so extraordinary memory that it was
his custom TO finish the composition of
q play before writing word Of it. The
first act of Louis the Eeventh-by which
play, from the admirable acting of the
late Mr.. Charles Kean, he is best known
in the United States composed, but
not written, before starting on O voyage
to Italy. While away, Talma, who was
to have represented the king, died, and
the intention of completing the drama
was for time abandoned. When, some
years afterwards, he again turned his at
tentlon to 1t, he was able to recall to his
memory the first act as originally COM
posed, and which had remained so long
dormant in his brain.

Some days since-in touching upon
the manner in which, one by one, the
old-time slanders that stirred ND the
North against the South we're meeting q
revelation of their true character-we
had occasion to say that the New Eng
land common-school system never had
been, and was not now, possible in the
South, owing to the sparseness of the
population. It was also our statement
that the reconstructed State authorities
-carpet-baggers chiefly from New Eng
land--had endeavored to set this system
in operation; but, in at least one State.
we find that we have given them too
much credit even for the effort. The
Raleigh IN. C.) Sentinel, in its issue of
tho 11th instant, says "there is, so far as
we know, but one school in the State
sustained by public authority, and that
is shameful mockery and burlesque
upon the name of education" It ap-
pears, 0hunde, that this school is the
State University Mt Chapel Hill-that
qunndom scat of learning once rendered
lllustrlous by many eminent men, among
them Thomas Hart benton. Under the
new regime, crew of ignorant, under
bred Adventures are thrust in the pro-
fessional chairs of this institution, its
doors are open to the meanest corn field
negro, and the youth of the State, once
trooping to its famous campus, now shun
it as they We uld the plague. The whites
will not, the negroes cannot, go there
"Chapel Hill" says the .Sentinel, "once
the proud seat of learning and philoso-
phy, is now-alas! how soonl-a place of
educational desolation and sad memo
ries." The common school system of
North Carolina is a mere nullity, not
even the reconstructed law being opera
tive; the University is desolate: the en-
tire school fund-all fines, forfeitures,
proceeds OF land sales, together with so
much OF the ordinary revenue of the
State as may be necessary"-is in the
power OF a nest of thieving yipers, and,
says the Sentinel, "there is no such thing
among us as popular education" The
fruits OF reconstruction are as rotten as
the ree.-Ne,p York World.

The Prussian journals state that an ice
and cold-producing machine has been
invented by Mons. Franz Windhausen
Brunswick. The action of the machine
is based on the principle of producing
cold and warmth by the expansion and
compression of atmospheric mir, which ;s
accomplished by means Of mechanical
power. The machines require no chemi-
Gals, nothing being used in them but wa
ter and atmospheric air. They may be
wrought by steam, water or wind, and
they produce from 100 to 1000 pounds
ice per hour, according to size, at q cost
OF from I'd. to sd. per 100 pounds; this
difference resulting from the varying
prices OF fuel and the mode of working
chosen. One of their uses is to cool
rooms, cellars, theatres. hospitals, com
partments of ships, &c.
