weaving Woolen Warp that elings.
By this arrangement, the Filling is always

John OGrO0f.

In the reign of James w., of Scotland,
three brothers, Malcolm, Gavin, and John
O'Groat natives of Holland, came to the coast
of Caithness, with letter in Latin from that
monarch recommending them to the protec-
ton and countenance OF his subjects there.

til they numbered eight different proprietors

their arrival at Caithness, dispute arose as

these annual gatherings. But the wiselvia aLl
virtue of John prevented his rupture. He
made touching speech to them, soothing
their angry spirits with an appeal 10 the com.
mon and precious memories of their native
land, and to all their joint experiences in this.
He entreated them to return to their homes
quietly, and he would remedy the current
difficulty at The next meeting. Won by his
kindly spirit and words they complied with
his request. In the interval, John built q
q house expressly for the purpose, Of an oc-
tagonal form, of eight doors and windows
He then placeda table of oak, of the same
shape in the middle, and when, the next
meeting took place, he desired each. head OF
the different Groat families to enter at his
own door, and sit at the head of his own Ia
BILE. This happy and ingenious plan restored
good feeling and pleasant footing to the
sensitive families, and gave to the good
Dutchman's name an interest which 1t viii

His eyes, began to glance at the assassin
/ Hopkins, rs his lean, taper fingers assumed
the same direction. He hemmed the
wretch within wall Of strong evidence
and improbable argument, cutting off all
hope of escape. He dug beneath the MUIR
derer's feet bitches of dilemmas, and held
up the slanderer to scorn and contempt of
She populace. Having thus grit him about
with a circle of fire, he stripped himself to
the work ofmassacrc a
oh then it was vision both glorious and
dreadfal 10 behold the orator. His action
became as the motion of an oak in hurri-
cane. His voice became trumpet filed
with wild whirlpools, deafening the ears
with crashes OF power, and yet intermingled
all the while with a sweet undersong of the
sottest cadence. His forehead glowed like
heated furnace, his countenance was hag-
gard, like that of a maniac, and ever and
anon he flung his long, bony arm on high,
as if grasping after thunderbolts.
| He drew picture of murder in such ap-
palling colors, that, in comparison, hell
itself might seem beautiful; he painted
the slanderer so black that the sun seemed
| dark at MONDAY, when shining on such
q monster. And then fixing both portraits
on the shrinking Hopkins, fastened them
there forever. The agitation of tb, audi

All at once the speaker descended from
the perilous height. Hisyoice walled out
for the murdered dead and living-thc
beautiful Mary more beautiful every mo-
ment as Der tears flowed faster and faster,
till men wept and sobbed like children.
He closed by strange exhortation to the
jury and through them to the bystandcrs;
he advised the panel, after they should
bring in verdict for the plaintiff, not to
offer violence to the defendant, however
richly he might deserve it; mot lynch
the villain, but to- leave his punishment
with God" This was the most artful trick
Of all, and the best calculated to insure
vengeance.
The jury rendered verdict of fifty thous-

was taken out of his bed by lynchers and
beaten almost to death. AS the court ad-

A very curious scene occurred recently in
California, caused by the arrival of large
shipments of Chinese women. Every Chi
naman considered himself entitled to wife,
and determined to obtain her at whatever
cost. When the steamer was coming up
the harbor the news spread like wildfire
through the Chinese quarter, and at once
crowds of their people started for the land
ing. Every possible means of ,uSyeyance
! was in demand. The higl, tona2 NOR
chants and head men, who We determined
to prevent their countrywon: - tfc!G falling
into the hands of their brethren of o lower
caste, provided themselves with passes to
the dock, and went in hacks and on the
| street cars; while hundreds of women with
umbrellas spread over their heads crowd
eel into express and baggage wagons, and
the regular pirates or sanpans, as they
fe called in China, hurried to the place
on foot. At least 1850 Cinnamon had as
sembled before the steamer came in sight.
As soon as the officers commenced landing
the women from the steerage the excite
incnt became intense, and it required a
large force to- prevent them from breaking
down the gates. All the boats in the vi,
cinity were engaged at high prices by the
parties to borrowed to the side of the steam
ert hoping by that means to get access to
the women, and it required strong meas
ures to prevent their boarding the vessel.
After the boats were engaged, terrible
fight commenced as to who should occupy
them, and many who had paid their pas
sage were thrust back into the crowd, and
their place taken by one who did not scru-
pie to take sail at another's expense. While
this confusion On the outside was going on,
the women were landed, to the number of
$50, and placed in half dozen rows. The
examination by the Custom House officers
(most OF them young men) was exceeding
ly interesting. Large quantities of opium
were discovered on their persons, slowed
away in different places. When the search
was completed, they were slowed away in
large express wagons and conveyed to such
places rs the merchants and head men di-
rected. An officer was placed in front, two
on each side and one behind of each wagon,
each armed with a heavy club, to beat off
any love-smitten Oriental who might try to
board it.

WOODEN CAR WHEELS, IL is reported,
have been introduced recently on one of the
New York railways. Though these wheels
cost three times the price of the ordinary
cast iron wheels, the expense, it is contcn-
ded, is Of little consequence, when compar.
ed with the advantages gained. They ride
smoothly, making conversation, reading,
and even writing, an easy task on the cars.
They are made of thoroughly seasoned elm,
or teak, with steel tires; are very durable,
and will wear, by reason of their elasticity
and durability, over 100000 miles of rail-
way, while the average use of the ordinary
iron wheel is but $4,000 miles, after which
it is necessary to break it up. It. is also
asserted that this wheel is SO constructed
that it is impossible for the tire to become
displaced, and that the wear to the track
is much less than by the cast iron wheel. :
Wooden wheels are used on the Met ropo-
Titan Underground railway of London,
where the frequent and sudden startings
and stoppages of the trains are calculated
to rack and destroy the material Of which
they are composed. No accident, it is as
serted, has yet occurred on that road.

IL Frame building TsCclsty- TsD0
Miles iH LenHEEs.

| Persons who pass hastily over the Union
Pacific Railroad give thought to the
immense amount of work which has been
performed by the Company. From the Sac
ramento to represent terminus of the road
at Elko, the trains are once more running
regularly. The immense amount of money
and labor expended in cutting through
mountains, opening tunnels, grading the
road and laying the track can with diff
Guilty be realized by those not familiar with
the business. ..--.. ....Ea..F
Not the least Of problems to be solv-
ed was that of protecting the track from
the heavy falls of snow which were to
be anticipated during the Winter months.
TO obviate this difficulty as far as possible,
| the Company determined to erect series
OF sheds, or rather one building, which
should protect the road over the snow
line. Accordingly, they have erected a
building which is doubtless the largest in
the world. 1t is twenty-five miles in lenoth.
sixteen feet in width and sixteen feet in
length, not including the pitch ofthe roof.
1t Is put up In the most substantial manner
all the tlmbers used being of the best quail
Hy to be obtained. The sides are inclosed,
and were 1t not for the fact that daylight
penetrates though the interior between the
boards, the whole affair would be very like
a huge tunnel. The building is braced to-
gether IN o most peculiar manner, and is,
in addition, firmly bolted to the rocks
wherever the road nears the face, of a cliff.
Where snow slides are to be feared, an ex-
tension of the roof has been carried to the
cliffs, so that falling masses shall pass over
the building and lodge on tne other side.
In many places, where side tracks are loca-
ted, the building is wider than the figures
given above More than 100000 feet OF
lumber have been used in its construction.
1t covers an area of more than 100000
square feet, or nearly forty-four acres. One
| OF the best proofs of the stability Of the
structure is in the fact that, with the en-
ception Of few miles which had not been
really completed, it thoroughly answered
the purpose for which it was designed du-
ring the most severe tests '.

The long, laborious, and often precari-
GUS business of cutting ice from the surface
Of lakes, ponds and rivers, has already been
superseded to some extent by the system
that every morning ct five o'clock, distri-
butes &c, 000 Jrozea- aoater Bottles, to the ho-
tells and restaurants of. Paris, and takes
them all back very late at night to be near
ly filled with pure water and frozen again.
This plan keeps each small restaurant table
supplied with iee-water for the entire day.
But the newest arrangement Of all brings
sparkling ice from The glaciers of sSseitser.l
land The utilitarian1 spirit Of the age,
says that these huge movements ofthe frost
have been, long enough, merely thesources
of Summer admiration and Spring freshets.
1t is determined to make them serve our
wants. Lovers of the picturesque need not
be alarmed, however. for it viii take, quite
a range of centuries to consume the ices Of
the Alps Nevertheless, very few people
have any idea of the extent the ice trade.
4 dealer in London lately stated that he
sold $4,000 worth of ice, in little pieces,
annually, aside from his regular business.
The ice trade now extends nearly all over
the world. In 1865, Norway alone sold
44,823 tons of her pure, translucent pro-
duct. Ice is no longer merely the high
luxury Of princes and nabobs, the special
allotment of sick rooms and hospitals, the
browning expense ofsplendid feasts. Every
body wants and uses ice, and Switzerland
is about to find fresh fountain Of wealth
in her wondrous accumulations Of frozen
treasure. Thus, strangely enough, when
understood and managed aright, those cir
cumstances which, to the casual eye, seem
the fatal causes of sterility and poverty
become well-springs of activity and opu-
lence. Where ice is plenty it may
be made to cool the air on an extensive
scale, as well as our meat, milk, butter and
beverages. At Christiana, in Norway, a
large lump is placed, early every morning,
on raised perforated platform, in the mid
die of the dining or sitting room, in, sum-,
mer. There, it will last all day spreading
delicious GOODNESS through the apartment.
Salt ice will cool atmosphere as we'll az
fresh-a summer hint of economy for counti
tries where the former is procurable! From
ice to sand, everything is usefsl. As the
ices Of Nova Zembla may yet be pressed in
to service, on one hand, so may the sands
of Sahara be made to yield us, one day, the
best melons, pumpkins and sweet potatoes
ever produced. G9.,as,f'u.E.E tjlfl}
