New England Getting Alarmed.

THE immense emigration to the West,
and the rapidly augmenting populations
of the States of the Pacific from the i'm
pOrtatiOn of Chinese, together with the
significant movements in the South
looking to the introduction of Chinese
or cOOlie labor in that section, in large
numbers, have awakened considerable
alarm among New England politicians in
regard to the tenure Of national Govern
ment. The papers are beginning to pub
liSh statistics showing how the New
England States are losing ground in the
matter of the appOTtiOnment for mem
Der of Congress, and how their strength
is gradually recCding while that of the
West is rapidly increasing. It is even
proposed to cut Massachusetts, in twain,
and erect q new State out of the western
counties. 1t is also proposed to make
two new States out Of Maine. This will
give New England six additional mem
beTS in the United States Senate, and a
number of members of the Lower House,
II is probable other Eastern States that
can be egeTymandered to advantage will
also be carved up into cOvenient State
communities handytO handle and small
enough to clap into the bTeeches pocket
of any pigmy politician New England
may desire to inject into the councils of
~
mighty domain Of the great State Of
Rhode Island-which, it has been said, |
is not broad enough in some parts to af-
ford the requisite space of twelve PAGES
on which to fight a duel according to !
the Goodwill come under the carving |
knife of the Radical politicians of her |
larger sisters. But while Little RhOdv /
may be suffered to remain intact there /
is no mistaking the fact that the New |
England politicians are becoming seri- |
Ously alarmed at the prospect Of losing |
their pTepOndeTating influence in the |
Government. Some of the Western pa |
peTs have taken up the idea and are .
pointing to it with eXultatiOn, as show
ing that, indeed, westward the star Of |
empire is taking its way, with the view
in prospect of the national capital being |
established in st. Louisa point recon- |
mended even by her rival Sister city,
Chicago. Hence the present perturba-
ton among the dry bones Of the New
England POLITICAL stagers is but natural.
But this is only the beginning of the
shower. In few years these New Eng
land philosophers, with their narrow
and bigOted notions, their holy cXclu-
siveness, their arched eyebrows and
elevated noses, will be politically sub
merged as if by political deluge, and
after the deluge-What ?'-NclC York.

Personal APPEARANCE OF GEN.
ROSECR ANS.

The following personal description Of
Gen. ROSecTanS we take from WhitelJW
Reid's "OhiO in the War"
General ROsecrans is nearly six feet
high, compact, with little waste of flesh,
nervous and active movements, from
the dictatiOn Of a dispatch to the tear
ing and chewing of his cigar. His brow
is ample; the eyes are penetrating and
restless; the face is marked with a well
trimmed beard; but the mouth, with its
curious smiles, half of some exquisite
nervous feeling, which will lingeT long
est in the mind of a casual observer.
He is easy of access, utterly destitute of
pretense and utterly democratic in his
ways. With his staff his manner was
familiar and almost pateFnal, with q pTi
vate soldier always kindly.
IN the field he was capable Ofimmense
labor; he seemed never to need sleep.
Few officers have been more popular
with their commands, or to have in
spired more confidence in the rank and
file.
In the same work we also find an eX-
tract from "Bingham's Campaign with
the I4th Army Corps" showing the
thOTOughness and minuteness of his
habits:
The manner of the inspection engen-
dered 4 cOrdiaIity toward him which
promised happy results. The soldiers
were satisfied that their commander
took an interest in welfare-a NOR
alizing agency which no capable Gen
eraI of volunteers can safely neglect. He
examined the equipments of the men
with eXacting scrutiny. No tTitling mi
nutia escaped him. Everything to
which the soldier was entitled was i'm
pOTtaut. \ private without his canteen
instantly invoked 4 vOlley of searching
inquiries. Where isyour canteen? How
did you lose it? When Where? Why
don't YOU get another? To others: ''YOU
need shoes and knapsack." Soldiers
thus addressed were apt tOreply frank
ly, some times Il whole company laugh
ing at the novelty of such keen inQuisi-
ton. Cant getany shoes, ," said one
required Il canteen and couldn't
get it."
"Why," quoth the General, Ego to
your Captain and demand what you
need. Go to him every day till you get
it. Bore him for it! Bore him at meal
time! Bore him in bed, Bore him!
bore him! bore him! Don't let him
rest. And to Captains, you bore your
CoIoneIs: let Colonies bore their BTfga-
dieTs; BriGadies bore their Division
Generals; Division commanders bore
their Corps commanders, and let them
bore me! I'll see then if you don't get
what you want. Bore, bore, bore, until
you get everything you are entitled to;
and so on throughout an entire division.

shape and Strength Wood.

y very useful rule in practice, in gfy-
ing strength to structures, is this. The
strength OF every square beam or stitch
TO support a weight, increases exactly as
the width increases, and also exactly as
the square Of the depth increases. For
example: A stick Of timber eight inches
wide and four inches deep THAT is, four
inches thick is exactly twice as strong
as any other only four inches wide, and
with the same depth. Tt is twice as
wide, and consequently twice as strong.
Ihat IS, strength increases lust as the
width increases, according to the ruIp
given. But where one stick of timber is
twice as deep, the width being the
same, it is four times stronger: if three
times as deep, it is nine times stronger
and so on. It's strength increases as
the square of the depth as already
stated.
The same rule will show that Il hoard
an inch thick and twelve inches wide.
will be twelve times as strong when
edgWise as when lying flat. Hence the
increase IN strength given to whifIe-
trees, tence-pOsts, iOists and string
pieces TO farm-bridges, by making them
narrow and deep.
Again, the strength of a round stick
increases as the cube of the diameter in
creases; that is, that a round niece Ot
wood three inches in diameter is eight
tlmes as strong as one an inch and a
haH III diameter, and tWentv-seven
tunes as strong as one an inch in diam
eter. This rule shows that a fork han
die an inch and q half in diameter. as
seven is greater than four. Now, thfs
rule would enable the farmer to ascer-
tain this without breaking haIfa dozen
fork handles in trying the experiment.
and 1t would enable the manufacturer to
know, without the labor of tryingmany
experiments, that if he makes fork
handle an inch and a half in the middle,
tapering a quarter Of an inch toward the
ends, 1t will enable the wOrkrnen to lift
with 1t nearly twice as much hav as
with one an inch and a quarter only
through its whole Iength.-THODlas

Giant Powder.

The superiority of giant powder oveI
ordinary black gunpOwder for blasting
purposes, it is asserted by the California
journals, has been proved by actual ex-
pertinent during the last six months, In
the New Almaden mine it was found
that to cut a yard from one of the tun-
nels cost S65 with black and S45, 45 with
giant powder, showing q saving of 80
per cent; in the Oaks and Reese mine,
hundred feet of dTifs that would have
cost $500 with black powder, were
made under contract for 81, 1880, a saw
ing Of 40 per cent; and in the Empire
mines it was found, on Il long and fair
trial, that the extraction of ton Of ore
cost $3.50 with black, and $500 with
giant powder, showing Il saving of 81
per cent. by the use of the latter. At
another mine it was ascertained that
with giant powder derricks were no
longer needed III the hydraulic claims
for lifting large powders, Whish can
now be shattered at one blast intODicces
small enough to be carried down through
the sluices. The giant powder is re-
ported to be nitrO-glycerine, reduced to
dryness by combining it with hydrated
silica. The lattersubstance, it is stated,
may be obtained from watergIass by
means of an acid which precipitates a
gelantinOus mass from it. This mass,
when dry, is an impalpablepO and
as such is found in natural deposits in
where giantpOwder is manu-
factured. 1t is also made in New York,
but the manufacturer cOnceals his
name and the situation of his establish
ment, evidently through the fear that
his business may be puta stop to by per-
sons who are not desiTous of having so
dangerous n powder compound near
them

4 CROWNED CORPSE.

\ letter from Cracow gfves the fol-
lowing details in connection with fLa
late discovery Of the remains of Cassi-
mer the Great in that city:
The King expired on the jth of NJ
yember, 1870, and his body was demos
tied in the Cathedral of CTacOw. whom
colossal monument was erected TO his
memory. No one supposed that the re-
mains fthe deceased monarch youId
be found in the church itself. bpcausa
according to the ecclesiastical Traditions
saints alone can be bnried in the sacred
editice, and all hopes had been renOunc-
ed Of ever discovering the cOrpse. Late
ly the restoration of the monument
which had begun to decay under thn ac2
ton OF centuries, was commenced. and
some blows on the front part of the base
brought the missing remains to Iiobt.
two tiles fell, a light inserted i'm tLa
opening showed the crown and scpDfpr
and in the former the skull of the Kinr
by enIarging the aperture some bOnGs
enYel0ped IN purple cloth, tOlerablv pre-
served, were discovered. An ODenfnp
was then made on the opposite side of
the tomb, and the feet of the skeleton
were found, the spurs in a perfect stota
and attached by leather straDs. Tho
scepteT and globe are in silver and fbo
crown and spurs in copper gilt Orna-
mented with precious stones. The skull
is Of remarkable size. Scarcely a trace
remains Ofthe coffin except the iron bars
which strengthened it, and to which the
purple cloth had been attached. Five
hundred years have totally devoured
the wood. When a report Of this dis
coyery had been drawn up, and the eel
ebTated painter Jean Marteiko had made
Il drawing Of all the embIems, the tomb
was again walled up by the AreheolOg-
IcaI Commission. The most important
result Of this event is the fact that the
crown OF the greatest King of the past
exists III the cathedral of the ancient
Polish capital.

THE WINTER OF THE HEART.

LET 1t never come upon you. Live so
that good angels may protect you from
| this most terrible evil-the winter of the
/ heart.
Let no chilling influence freeze up the
| fountains Of sympathy and happiness in
| its depths; no cold burden settle over
! its witheFed hopes like snow on the fad
ed flowers, no rude blasts of discomfort
moan and shrek through its desOlated
chambers.
Your life path may lead YOU through
trials which for a time utterly impede
your progress, and shuts up the very
light Of Heaven from your anxious gaze.
PenuTy may take the place of ease and
plenty; your luxurious room may be
changed for a single lOwly hOme-the
soft couch for the coarse food Of the DOOr
Summer friends may fOrsake YOU with
scarcely a word or look of compassion.
You may be forced to toll YEARLY,
steadily on, to earn q livelihood YOU
may encounter fraud, and the base av-
arice that would eXtOTt the last farthing,
till you well nigh turn in disgust from
your fellow beings.
The noble, manly boy, the sole hope
of your declining years, may be taken
from you while your spirit clings to him
with a wild tenacity, which even the
shadow of the tomb cannot wholly sub
due.
Do not lose your faith in human ex-
cellence because your confidence has
been sometimes betrayed, nor believe
that friendship is only a delusion, and
love bright phantom which glides away
from your grasp.
Do you think that you are fated to be
miserable because you are disappointed
in your expectation, and baffied in your
pursuit.
Do not declare that God has fOrsaken
you, when your way is hedged about
he grave.
Keep a holy trust in Heaven through
very trial bear adversely with forti-
Ude.
