CArHoLIc EDUCATION IN ,LoNDoN.-sAt
a largely attended meeting, held on Monday
night, the 2lst inst, in the school-room,
Maryiebone lane, Earl Gainsborough in the
chair, Major 0'Reilly, NJ. r., proposed the
following resolution:
:. That this meeting acknowledge the
necessity Of upholding the denominational
system of education, and pledges itself to
supnort it by all lawful means.o
in supporting the resolution he said the
poor Catholic children of London must have
a proper training, not merely in secular
Knowledge but also in the principles OF
their religion. 1t was fact that there were
moro Irish Catholics in London than even
in Dublin, and could they be we'll educated
in the principles of their faith while young
they would scarcely depart from them in old
The Hon. and Very Rev. DR.. Talbot
seconded the motion.
The meeting was Almost enthusiastic one.

MILLARD FILLMORE.

A Louisville correspondent Of the Cincin-
nat Commercial gives the following pen pic
turc OF Hon. Millard Fillmore, as he appeared
at the Commercial Convention:
"Millard Fillmore is as flultlcss an old gen
tleman as there is in the world. His gar
ments of black broadcloth, immaculate linen
and standing collar black satin stock and
neat glossy boots are spotlessly perfect, and
fit without u single wrinkle too much. He is
tall well proportioned, and inclnes to III
embonpont that is just right to a penny
weight. His foot is small and we'll turned
instep archcd and is encased IN number siS
boot
Mr.. Fillmore is q blonde who, on the verge
of seventy, retains his original clearness OF
complexion. Extreme nicely, in large
sense, overspreads him. His rather small
steel-blue ewes are still clear and alert, his
teeth white and even, his hair moderately
plentiful, almost snowy in hue, and carefully
cut to a standard, neither long nor short
Only at the crown is there partial thinning
out His ample double chin and large, oval,
pink tiorid cheeks are firm and fair in texture,
and have none OF the purplish tints Of high
living. Mr.. Fillmore is evidently q generous
liver. serupulously temperate in diet and
scrupulously nice in dress. He looks like an
immaculate distinguished man. produced by
a republic, whose aim as public officer is
to be always absolutely constitutional and
correct, and as a gentleman, to be blndly
courteous and solidly respectable.
His front face is open and dignifled, and
his profile with its convex aquiline nose and
smooth-shaved ample double chin is decided
ly patrician. For a man who has seen so
much of political life, Mr.. Fillmore is re-
markably modest. When introduced by Gov.
Stevenson yesterday, he blushed deeply, once
or twice indefinitely stammered over uttering
the wrong word. On subsequently taking
his seat on a small dias surrounded by grow
ing shrubbery, on the stage the rear legs OF
his chair slipped off the back of the platform,
and the ex-Presdent was saved from a most
unseemly fall only by the upright cedars. He
was assisted to rise by the gentlemen nearest
on the platform, and as the convention laugh
ed rather broadly over the incident his face
turned as deep crimson as ever mantlcd the
| face of girl.

NATURAL SCIENCE

HYDROGEN. This is another Of those organic
clements Which compose all animal and vegetable
things. IL is one of the constituents OF Wafer;
hence its name, the hydro being the Greek word
for water, Think of its immense amount in the
world; about parts in a 100 of all animals and
yetetabes, and two-thirds of every drop of water

hydrogen is colorless gas, without odor or taste
when pure, and is the lghtest of all known things,
fbelng II times lighter than ar hence ii is the very
thing used TO fill and float balloons.

this is their usual cfect they must be inimica TO
health.
And TINS brings IL to say that this drying the air
too much is one of the evils Of all stoves and fur
naces. Some high authorities indeed maintain that
this Is no evil, air however dry being as good
and as heatnful as moist air-which opinion, we
think is Il great error; for what is natural, like
the open air, on general principles must be better
than alihcia air deprived of its natural moist
ure And this is the experience of most people in
their feelings-havn headaches, sore throats, and
feeling bad generally in this parehed air. Such
certainly Is our own experience being unable long
to remain in Il room heated by stoves and furnaces
without water eyaporating. Many time have we
entered sick rooms when the air was 50 hot and
fdry could scarcely breathe, our first remedy be-
ing 10 dash half bucket of water upon the stove
or furnace till this srocco was overcome with
moisture,
| Hence, i'll our judgment, no furnace or close
stove should ever be heated without water evap-

the last No. of the Scientific American states as
the result of uis experiments that moderate sized
house, in the very coolest weather. heated by fur
mace. requires nearly six pals of water il "a hours
to keep he air of the house soft and equally moist,
being less moist then than ordinary summer air.
our own experience with stoves is, that room of
1000 cubic feet requires at least from one to two
lints in moderate weather, and one or two quarts
i'll cold weather, every "a hours, to make the air
even toerably moist.

A CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. In January
last, Capt. Hiram Mari, Il fisherman residing
at Southport, (on Sheepscot Bay) started
from his homo to cross the bay to George
town, to make arrangements for the burial
Of his brother, Capt. James Marr, who had
Just died at his home in the latter town
While making the trip, in his small boat,
across the bay, Capt Mari was lost his boat
was found two days subsequently,, on the
shore of Segun island, but his body was
not found though the shores were searched
for many days. Some months subsequent to
this sad occurrence, the widow of Capt.
Mari applied to a Mr.. p. for the payment Of
Il promissory note Of $50, which Capt. Mari
held against him at the time he was drowned.
Mr.. p. averred that he had "paid the note"
and refused to acknowledge that he was in
debted to the estate of the deceased. AS the
note itself was in the pocket of Capt. Mari
when he was lost, no conclusive evidence
could be produced that it had not been paid
But curious to relate, during the heavy gale
last September, the body of Capt. Mari was
washed ashore at Long Beach, not far from
which place it seems to have been buried in
the sand from January till September. The
body was identified by marks in India ink on
one of the arms. In the clothing of the body
was found wallet containing, in nearly per-
feet preservation the note Of $50, the pay
mcnt of which p had refused to the widow.
p could not longer evade paying it, nor did
he appear disposed to, after the body of the
deceased seemed to have risen from its bur
ial place on purpose to demand it. TKsnne-

rightly done. For simple thing as this is there
are ways, or rather materials, far better than others
Now the sole of this is not TO prevent the eX.
ternal cold passing into the cellar-or cold is only
the absence Of heat-but to hinder the internal
warmth of the cellar passing out. And to do this
ali depends Oh whether the cellar walls are made

cold; if bad, it remains and the cellar is warm
Henc the best banking turns on what materials are
the poorest conductors Of heat.
Now it has been found by experimenting with
various things that common air is one of the very
worst conductors; so that banking with air is the

earth, clay, whatever holds water-for this freezing

for air are a good conductor and poor banking. As
good holders of air, leaves and straw if they would
keep dry so as not TO become compact, would make
excellent banking; and, because holding air sc
well, dry snow is the very best if it would last
They all show the principle of things-lnaterials
which hold large amount Of air. These will keel

AN EMBARRASSING PoSTIoN An Ohio pa
per tells the following story at the expense Of
Gen. Sherwood, Secretary Of that Common
wealth:
During the late canvass this prince of good
fellows, who, by the way, always enjoys a
good joke even at his own expense, had oc-
casion to stop at Oberlin. He was provided
with a comfortable room at the hotel, and inn
mediately set about the task of doffing his ap-
parel and cladding himself with an entire
change of dress. After removing from his
person every stitch of clothing, even to the
shirt (the General is very neat and tasty in his
dress) he stepped forward and opened a door,
as he supposed, of a closet, for the purpose Of
placing therein the dotfed garments. But be-
hold his astonishment, when, instead ofopen-
ing the way to q closet, he opened Il door
leading INTO commodiOu5 sitting room.
which was occupied by number Of ladies
A full developed manhood, as barren of cloth
ing as in the moment he made his debut in the
world, standing unobscured before the ladies
and the confusion of the modest General at
the mistake he had made, caused Il consterna-
ton among the parties that can more easily
be Judged than related. The General, how
ever, Notwithstanding his shocked modesty,
retreated in good order, and soon renvested
himself with that of which he had been dives
ed, but fully convinced OF the fact that ali
doors opening out of room do not lead the
way to clothes closets.

And my thoughts travelled backward,
Into the long dead years,

Seen through mist Of tears.
We met-we loved-we parted:
The story ever new,
