no hesitation whatever in pronouncing Boucicaults
house fire the greatest house on fire
that ever was on fire. The like OF
it was never before seen upon the Bowery stage
much less upon the classical stage of the Arch. 1t
is not matter Of surprise that Boucicault should
tremble lest it prove too many for the Princess of
Wales and cause her to flop. It was not a matter of
surprise last night that the rfra and the rag-tag
andbobtai in the galleries should be convulsed with
Joy, and when utterly beside themselves should
shout "H hi Tiger-r-r-r-r-r-ow-houghv = and pet
the people in the pit with apples.
The cast at the Arch isas strong one as the char
acter of the roles will permit, ahd the acting is Da-
nitey better than the thing deserves Mr. Cathcart
plays 'Walter Coram,' the genuine, with his Gus
tomary JUNCTION. Mr. James is as satisfactory
genteel villain In 'Rawngs' as in anything else
and Mr.. Craig, in made-up and acting. as "Jim
Smiley" is the life and soul of the piece, as he.
might be expected to be- while
Mr.. StoddaTt does the self-sacraclng and ever
thoughtful nobeman "Lord Alfred Colebrook," in
creditabe style. The only effective female part is
that Of "Katey JessOp, which, in the hands OF Miss
Lizzie Price, is at times Thoughtful and throughout
a careful personation. The piece will continue to
draw, we have doubt, for an indefinite period for
it is exactly suited to the tastes of people who don't
admire Shakespeare and such stuff

A New ANECDOTE OF WAsHINGTON
"A nice little story is told of Gen. Wash.
ington by Parton, which will be fresh to
many Of our readers, and which shows him
to wives in the lightof . model husband
The General and his wife lived happily
together, but it is evident that, like most
heiresses, she was little exacting and it is
highly probable that the great Washing.
ton was sometimes favored with . curtain
lecture. The celebrated authorcss Miss
Bremen relates that gentleman once slept
at Mount Vernon in the room next eceu-
pied by the master and mistress Of the man
sion, and when all tho inmates were in bed
and the house was still he overheard, through
the thin patition, the voice Of Mrs. Wash
iugton. He could not but listen, it was q
curtain lecture, which she was giving hsr
lord. He had done something during the
day which ought to have been done differ
emily, and she was giving him her opinions
in somewhat animated and quite decided
tones. The great man listened in silence
till she had done, and then, without re-
mark upon the subject on hand, he said
"Now, good sleep TO you, my dear" II
il plain the General believed that lit takes
two to quarrel"

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS SINKING
The correspondent Of the New York Tfi-
bxse, in an account Of the recent phenom-
ena which were the results of the volcanic
disturbance in the Sandwich Islands, says {:
Hawaii is apparently settling slowly into
the ga. This uncomfortable pAsnomsnon
was noticed soon after the great earthquake
Of last April, but the arrangement Of level
was first supposed to be temporary, and
due to tidal wave, which would reoeds in
due course Of time. Il soon became appa-
rent, however, that the crust Of the earth
was yielding, allowing the greater part Of
this large island, which has an area Of no
less than four thousand square miles, 70
settle gradually to the center. The island
has settled upon it foundations fsw fsst
on the southern aud western shores, . 1sw
inches only on tho east and north but
enough to cover tho old tide marks, and =
overflow the vegetatiou of the more lsvsl
bceches.

As It Is in Other Lands.

As it is in other lands, so it will be in
ours. if we follow their example:
What reduces the people to the condi-
tion in which they appear in Europe!
There can be but one answer.
Their governments.
The lands all owned by the few;
The money all in the hands of the few
The titles all conferred upon the few;
The privileges all vested in the few;
The exemptions all made in favor Of the
few;
The powers all possessed by the few;
The honors all enjoyed by the few;
The Offices all held by the few;
The emoluments all received by the
few;
All favors bestowed upon the few;
Af1uence and splendor surrounding the
few;
Ease and comfort the happy lot Of the
few;
The government controlled and admin
istcred by the few;
All the rights claimed by the few;
On the other hand
All the labor performed by the many;
All the taxes paid by the many;
All the hardships endured by the many !;
All the poverty borne by the many.
1t is true in political as in physical sci
ence, that Like causes produce like cf-
fccts."
Our government is fast taking on the
character and adopting tho politics which
have produced the above mentioned effects
in Europe, and we must expect the same
here with increasing distinctness the fur
ther we advance in the same direction.
Beyond working up the negro into an
element Of political power, wealth is the
only objects ofthe fostering care Of govern
ment.
Capital is privileged.
Capital is protected.
Capital is exempted.
But labor is oppressed.
Labor pays all the taxes.
Labor is cheated out Of what it has
earned.
The rich toll not
In war they fight not.
In peace, the cost Of the fighting they
pay not.
But the poor do all the work.
In war do all the fighting.
In peace pay all the expenses.
Workingmen, reflect upon this.

The pin-machine is one Of the closest ap-
proaches that mechanics have made to the
dexterity of the human hand. A small
machine, about. the height and size of Ia
dies s'sewing machine, only stronger, stands
before you. On the back side light belt
desccnds from the long shaft At the ceiling
that drives all the machines, ranged in
rows on the floor. Ou tho left side Of our
machine hangs, on peg, q small resl Of
wire, that has been strxightencd by run
ming through compound system Of small
rollers. f s' p 1855.
This wire descends and the end enters
the machine. This is IL food consumed
By this snappish, toflci6tS little dwarf.
He pulls it in and bites it of by inches i'm
cessantly, one hundred and forty bites to
. minutes. Just as he siezcs each bite, q
saucy little hammer, with concayc face,
hits the end of the wire three taps and cup
sets" it to head, while he grips it in d
counter-sunk hole between his teeth
With an outward thrust of his tongue, he
then lays the pin sideways in a little groove
across the rim of small wheel that slowly
reyolves just under his nose. BY the ex-
ternal pressure Of a stationary hoop these
pins roll in their places as they are carried
under two series Of small 6los, three in
each. These files grow finer toward the
end Of the series. They lie at slight in
clination on the points Of the pins, and by
q series Of cams, levers, and springs, are
made to play like lightning" Thus, the
pins are pointed and dropped in little
shower into box. Twenty eight pounds
of pins is days work for one of these jerk
ing little automatons. Forty machines on
this floor make FIVE hundred and sixty
pounds Of pins daily. These are then pol
ished. Two very intelligent machines re-
ject every crooked pin, even the slightest
irregularity Of form being detected.
Another autOmatOn assorts half o dozen
lengths in As many different boxes, all at
once and unerringly, when careless oper-
ator has mixed the contents Of boxes from
various machines.
Lastly, . genius of . machine hangs
the pin by the head in an inclined platform
through - many "slots" as there pins in
row on the papers. These slots converge
into the exact space spanning the length
of row. Under them runs the strip Of
pin paper. A hand-like part Of the ma
chine catches one pin from each Of the
slots as it falls, and by one movement sticks
them all through two corrugated ridges in.
the paper, from which they are to be picked
by taper fingers in boudoirs, and all sorts Of
human fingers in all sorts of circumstances.
Thus you have its genesis:
"Tall and slender, straight and thin
Pretty, little, useful pin.

Our INTERNAL REVENUE OFFICERS
This class of individuals do not appear to be
held in very high esteem by the Secretary
Of the Treasury. He admits that the inter-
nal revenue service is very much "demor-
allied" The simple truth is that 1t is en-
tirely so. This whole internal revenue sys-
tenn is illegal in the first place, Unnecessary
in the SECOND, and pernicious and rotten
inthe third and every other place. Jtgives

~ An old doctor Of divinity in Canada
said that in calling one day at friend Q
house, a little girl was sent in 70 amuse
him until her mamma was ready. The
child told him, among other things,
that she had been writing parody on
Kingslcy's song Of the "Thrce Fishers, -
but when drying it At the open fire, it
dropped from her hand and was burned.
Burned" exclaimed the doctor; "if I
had been the fire, I should have stopped
till you had got it out again" "Oh, no;
DOCTOR" said the child gravely, "you could
not have done that. Nature is nature, and
her laws are inviolable." It nearly knocked
the doctor off his chair.

IL through the OPEN window Wa perfect
cloud of wasps, who were attacking young
army of rats, whose squealiug had aroused
the two farm hands. The rats stood upon
their hind lsgs in perfect paroxysm Of rage
and fear, and gnashed their teeth at the
vasps, which stuug them remorselessly. The
bodies of the rats were terribly swollen by
tho poison of the insects, and in their rage
and fury turned and bit each other. The
hay loft was strewn with the dead bodies
Of the rats, until the Inst survivors fed
from the scene, aud left the wasps masters
of the situation.

UNLOCKED FOR AID.-An exchange
tells US the following tough story:
A number Of beavers arc at work for
the Union Pacific railroad company, TAX
ing their turn after the workmen have quit
for their day. A man who has contract
for getting out ties and floating them
down the Laramie river from the noun.
tains to the track of Wyoming, owing to
the stream being 50 low, found it necessary
to build dams ut different points, intending
soon to hoist all the gates, thereby creating
q food that would enable tho ties to be
gotten down without delay. Parties were
set to work erecting dams several days
ago, and when the men left their work at
night tho beavers commenced where they
left of and continued working on the same
throughout the night, doing a vast amount
Of work and in satisfactory manner.
Not only this, but in two or three in
stances where breaks occurred they have
repaired them in a. workmanliks manner
as could be desired. The amount Of labor
already performed by them is worth hun.
dreds Of dollars TO the contractor. ~

Plea for Early xising.

Early rising has been often extrolled,
aud extrolled in vain; for people think
that an hours additional sle.n il tory com.
Portable, and can make very little differ.
ence, after all. But an hour gained or
wasted every day makes great differences
in the length of our lives, which We may
see by very simple calculation. First,
We say that the average of mankind spend
sixteen hours out Of every twenty -four,
awake and employed, and eight in bed.
Now each year having three hundred and
sixty-6ve days, if . diligsnt person ab.
stracts from sleep one hour, daily, he
lsngthcns his year three hundredand sixty
FIVE hours, or twenty.three days Of sixteen
hours each, the length Of Assak;ag day,
which is what we call a day in these calcuIa-
tions. We will take . period of forty
years, and see how it may be deceased or
added to by sloth or energy. A person
sleeping eight hours day has his full av-
erage Of S65 days in the year, and may
therefore be said to enjoy complete his
forty years. Let him take nine hours
sleep, and his year has but 342 days, 20
that he lives only thirty-seven and = half
years; with ten hours in bed he has 80
days, and his life is thirty-6ve years. In
like manner. if the sleep is limited to sew
en- hours, our year has 38S days, and in
stead Of forty, We live forty two and half
years; and If sir hours is our allowance of
slumbcr, we have All days in tic
year, and live forty-6ve years. BY this
we see that in forty years, two hours daily
occasion either loss or gain Of Eve
years. How much might be done in this
space! What would We not give At the
close of life for another lease Of FIVE years!
And how bitter the reflection would be,
that We have wilfully given up this por-
tion of our existence merely that We might
lie little longer, in bed in tho morning!

A PINCH OF SALr.-Iat.am's Aaga

A PINCH OF SALT.-Ittsam's Maga-
zine says: .s
Salt is a great regulator Of the the health
Of the world. Without it the seas would be
impure, aud the land desolats scene Of
destruction; man would not be able tolive,
and the beasts Of tho field, with the plants
that feed them, would no longer BE- seen.
The little grain Of salt, at which We hard
" glance, u thus Of vital importance in the
great houshold Of nature. But Il shares
tho fate Of oil indispensable thisgs BY
which we are surrounded: habit makes dull
the seusibility Of our senses, and with Il the
activity Of thought that depends on such
impressions. Only what y rase aud unu-
sual attracts brillisney and uselsss beauty.
The sparkling diamond 10 sure Of admira-
tson, cot in bright gold is esteemed above
all things, and serves 70 enhance beauty,
to display our wealth or to symbolise su-
prone power. The unattractive twin Sis
ter black coal, has to do work in the kitch'
en-, the workshop, and in the factory, like
true Cinderella, and yet on coal and not on
the diamond rests the true wealth Of q ma
ton, the foundation Of happiness for count
less millions. Thus it is with the tiny grain
Of salt !; rich and poor see it day BY day on
their tables, and enjoy it with everything
they eat and drink, but few ever inquire
whence it came and what sccidentor what
necessity brought it there. And yet let II
be missing but for single day, and how va
would suffer!

NJ Professor Casturina Of Turin has
discovered that animals may be killed with
out pain by forcing air into their eyes, with
in the space Of . few seconds, and, it is
thought without causing them any pain.
Within the space of a fcw minutes four
rabbits, three dogs, and goat were killed
in this manner. The most remarkable
thing about this killing made easy" is
the fact that it leaves absolutely no outward
trace: and it can be as easily applied to
men as to animals.
