The King of Prussia recently visited ii
needle mandatory in his kingdom in Or
der to see what machinery, combined with
the human hand, could produce. He was
shown a number of super6ne needles,
thousands of which together did not weigh
half an ounce, and marveled how such
minute articles could be pierced with an
eye. But he was to see that in this respec t
even something still finer and more perfect
could be created. The borer-that is, the
workman whose business it is to bore the
eyes in these needles-asked for hair from
the monarch's head 1t was readily given,
and with smile. He placed it at once
under the boring machine, made a hole in
it with the greatest care, furnished in with
a thread, and then handed the singular
needle to the astonished King.
The second curious needle is in the pos
session of Queen Victoria. 1t was made
at the celebrated needle mandatory at
Redditch, and represents the column ofTra-
jan in miniature. This well-known Ro-
man column is adorned with numerous
scenes in sculpture, which immortalize
Trajan's heroic actions in war. On this
diminutive needle, scenes in the life of
Queen Victoria are represented in relief,
but so finely cut and SO small that it re-
quires magnifying glass to see them.-
The Victoria needle, moreover, oan be
opened; it contains a number of needles OF
smaller size, which are equally adorned
with scenes in relief-Seientifc american.

tomahawk at the place where he slept, in
tending to return to eat his breakfast by
the fire. he at once determined to shoot,
the bear seeming to be small one, with
out being able to pick out fatal spot
in other words, to use his own language
to ''shoot at the pile" He did so, and at
the crack of the rifle, the identical monster
animal he had been following and fighting
for three days and nights rose from his
bed, the snow boiling and surging up as
if whirlwind had stirred it into a column
Of fog, and fixing his glazing eyes upon
his assailant, gave unmistakable evidence
of furious attack. Wilbur understood
the situation" at once, and as the bear
started towards him, and for moment OBJ
scured by q large tree around which he had
to pass, Wilburn with his empty gun in
his hand, made one spring into a beech
sapling covered with dead leaves, and
there hung still and motionless by one arm
as the wounded and enraged animal pass
ed under and within three inches of him.
His situation was fearful in the extreme,
for the bear, smelling but not seeing him,
tore up by the roots and twisted down
saplings as if they had been straws, and
taking Wilburn's back track, disappeared
in the underground. No sooner had he dis
appeared than Wilburn dropped from his
perilous perch, ran down powder and oall
without patching, and followed the track.
Proceeding about so yards, he saw the
monster in wild and frenzied conflict with
a rock, the top of which protruded from
the snow, and making a noise, which
caused the bear to raise his head and
look at him, he drew q bead and fired,
the ball entering his eye. Ofcourse, he fell
dead in his tracks, and his net weight, after
being skinned and cleaned, was AGO lbs,
and he rendered out IS gallons of OIL
Wilburn had been given up for lost a
day or two before he returned to his home
as it was known he had followed huge
bear into the Wilson Laurel, and the whole
country side was out in search of him.
AS it was known in all that region that
warm and intimate friendship existed be-
tween him and myself, was sent for to
assist in the search, but the evening before
my arrival at his cabin he had returned
Thus had an opportunity of hearing this
adventure from his lips, of eating fresh
bear-meat and ofseeing the skin, which was
as large as an ordinary blanket and would
have enveloped the carcas of four year
old steer.
Leaving you this adventure to digest, l
WILL in due time, give you another chapter
Of incidents in the life of Wilburn Waters,
the great Hermit Hunter of White Top
Mountain.
Yours, &C., C.B.C.

In all ages the bodies of Masonic dead
have been laid in graves dug due east
and west, with their faces towards the East
This practice has been borrowed, and adj
opted by others, until it has become nearly
universal. 1t implies that when the Great
Day shall come, and He who is Death s
conqueror shall give the signal, Ills inefa-
BILE light shall first be seen in the East that
from the East he will make his glorious APP
proach will stand at the eastern margin
of these graves, and with his mighty pow
er-that grasp irresistably strong which
shall prevail-will raise the bodies which
are slumbering therein. We shall have
been long buried, long dccaycd. Friends,
relatives, yea, our nearest and dearest, will
cease to remember where they have laid
us. The broad earth will have undergone
wondrous changes, mountains leveled, val
leys filled. The seasons will have chased
each other in many q fruitful round
Oceans, dashed into fury by the gales Otto
day, will tomorrow have sunk like a
spoiled child to their slumber. Broad
trees, with broader roots, will have inter-
locked them, hard and knobbed as they
are, above our ashes, as if to conceal the
very fact of our having lived; and then
after centuries of life, they too will have
followed our example of mortality, and
long struggled with decay, at last will
have toppled down to join their remains
with ours, thus obliterating the last poor
testimony that man has ever lain here
So shall we be lost to human sight. But
the Eye of God, nevertheless. will mark
the spot, green with the everlasting YER
dure of faith, and when the trumpet's blast
shall shake the bills to their bases, our as
tonished bodies will rise, impelled upward
by an irresistible impulse, and we shall
stand face to face with our Rcdeemer.

VOL. XIV.---NO. S
Exciting Race Between a Drove Of Elk and
q Rail Road Train.

The passengers on the morning train
leaving this city for Cherokee on the Iowa
Falls and Sioux City Railroad were not
only spectators but participants in one of
the most exciting races that has come
within the range of our experience.
On last Saturday morning, when between
Lemars and Cherokee, the train in round
ing curve Numbered down on drove of
fourteen large, full grown elk, which were
quietly browsing on the open prairie about
fifty yards west of the track. Startled thus
suddenly from their quietude they imme-
diately started off on full run, no doubt
expecting to distance the frightful and
fiery monster that had so suddenly broken
In upon them while they were eating their
morning meal. Forward dashed the elk,
while closely following in their wake came
the fiery locomotive and attendant cars
Every person on board the train immedi-
ately rushed to the windows and the plat
forms and became excited participants in
the race. At first the elk gained on the
train, but engineer Prescott, not wishing
to let muscle distance steam, let ON little
more Of the latter, and the engine again
commenced to gain.
Occasionally the elk would sheer toward
the track with seeming intention of cross
ing it; but "toot" from the locomotives
whistle would deter them from their pur-
pose. The race continued for about six
miles over the level prairie. The train
coming to down grade gained rapidly on
the affrighted elk. Becoming satisfied
that further attempts to distance their
never-tring pursuer would be useless, they
sheered off into the open prairie, after hav-
ing kept the lead for upward of six miles.

it appears, are not averse to the admission
of the colored Senator from Mississippi ex.

ofthe radical members are opposed to him
on the ground of alleged previous immor-

millionaire who had not been out of Bea-

he slowly revived, exclaiming "that's good,

The CURRENCY QUEsTIoN.-The sum of
forty millions of dollars is to be added, as
per bill just passed Congress, to the pres
ent National Bank circulation of the coun-
try, making altogether $345, 100000 of le-
gal-tender and bank paper as money for
the people. This addition is to be given
to States and sections which to-day have
less than their proper proportion of this
commercial agency. After the census of
1870 is taken, a new appointment of the
circulation is to be made, and New Eng
land will have to disgorge for the benefit
Of the West and South.
This addition to the currency of the
country is supposed to be sort of pallia-
tive or remedy for the commercial distress
Of the country, bus it is quack's prescrip-
ton. 1t is not money we need, but relief
from taxation. 1t is folly to expect a
sinking man to carry heavy load on his
back with greater ease, by your strewing
rose leaves in his path. The increased
currency will be found of not the slightest
benefit to the commercial world. The
grand trouble is over taXation.-N. y.
