The following gem, from the writ
ings of Dickens, has of late been GO
ing the rounds of the press. 1t was
beautiful before; the worlds bereave-
ment of last Thursday evening makes
it sadly appropriate now: a
"There is nothlng-no, nothing
beautiful and good that dies and is
forgotten. An infant, prattling
child, dying In its cradle, will live
again In the better thoughts Of those
who loved 1t, and play Its part, though
its body be burned to ashes or buried
in the deepest sea. There IL not an
angel added to the hosts of Heaven,
but does its blessed work OH earth In
those who loved 1t here. Deadl Oh !
II the good deeds OF human creatures
could be traced to their source, how
beautiful would even death appear |!
for how much charity, mercy and pu-
rlfied affection would be seen to have
their growth in dusty graves !"

aacn. Lee Opposed to Presents.

It Is generally known that General
Lee has always refused to receive gra-
tuities Of any kind-that just as dur
ing the war he refused to receive a
house from the city Of Richmond, and
nobly said to the Council, "If you
have benefnctions to bestow, give
them to my private soldiers, VINO are
more needy and more deserving than
myself" SO since the war, though
robbed of his patrimony, he has stead
fastly refused to receive presents that
have been offered him. His conduct
In this respect has been very striking
ly like that Of Washington.
The Board of Trustees Of the Col
lege have found It, therefore, very diff
ficult to make such provision for Gen.
eral Lee rs they have felt due alike
to him, themselves and the public.
He has declined to receive such salary
rs the board thought he ought TO have,
and they have been puzzled to know
what to do.
During his absence they had meet
ing. at which they settled upon Mrs.
Lee, for life, the house i'm which the
General now lives, and an annuity of
s., 900.
At their recent meeting the board
received letter from Gen. Lee, in
which Ton behalf Of Mrs. Lee) he very
respectfully, but firmly, declines the
proffer.
After q full consideration OF the
matter, the board have, as delicately
as possible, decided that they must
adhere to their original action-that
they cannot suffer the risk of any con-
tingency in which the family Of our
loved and honored chieftain might
suffer. They insist that this Is not q
"gratuity," but the payment OF IA very
small part OF the debt which the Col
lege, the State and the country at
large owe to the distinguished patriot
who has devoted himself SO earnestly
and so successfully to the education
Of the youth OF the land.
The board have also elected q pri-
vate secretary to the General, with u
view Of relieving him of the burden
ofletter writing and other work which
has been pressing him down. He
gets all sorts of letters from all sorts
OF people-many Of them evidently
written simply to get his autograph
and II Is designed to put q stop to this
as far rs possible. INnI

rhs sE.eh.ns.s Mountain I'm Georgia,

In one of the northeastern counties
OF Georgia, and less than q hundred
miles from Chattanooga, Is a natural
curiosity, called from Indian tradi.
tion, the Enchanted Mountain.
The mountain Is not large, and
there Is nothing remarkable about Il
until You get on top, when human
tracks, or Impressions I'm the solid
rock which appear TO be human
tracks, are seen. W d.
How these almost human tracks
came to be impressed on the rock OF
this mountain, Is one of the many
mysteries OF this mysterious land Oi
ours. There are great many tradi-
tions among the Indians in regard to
this mountain, but none of them are
satisfactory, and 1t probably never
Will be known who it was that left
their tracks upon the summit of the
enchanted mountain. One of the In
dian traditions Is curious. for It shows
that they had vague idea of Noah's
food before the advent of the white
man. The story had been handed
down among the aboriginees that IL
was the landing place Of the great
canoe after the deluge, and the trucks
were made by the people in the canoe
as they stepped out upon the rock,
which had been made soft by the long
inundation.
One Of the tracks, and the largest
one, Is seventeen and o half inches In
length and seven and three-fourths
inches wide. Unlike the others, It
mas six toes. These must have been
Noah's tracks, and II there was any
thing In the Mosaic account of the
Hood concerning Noah's feet, we
have might a confirmation Of the
Indian tradition. The size of the track
would indicate that he wore number
eighteens.
There are 138 impressions of the feet
and hands visible on the face of the
rock. The smallest foot track Is four
Inches In length, and Of perfect shape.
Another Indian tradition Is, that n
great battle was once fought there,
and the large track, with six toes, Is
that Of the victorious commander.
This Is essentially Indian, as their
ideas OF mental greatness were cir
cumscribed by physical size. To be
great warrior, with them, was to he
of Immense size and strength. They
did not recognize the size and quality
of the brain as having anything to do
with 1t.
But who made these tracks upon
the Enchanted Mountain? If it was
human feet, then whose feet, and In
what age Of the world? If they were
chiseled out by human hands, whose
hands and when? Alas, that the
learning of the world amounts to SO
little, for no man can tell.

Artiacinl Zee.

The most interesting of all the In
dustrial developments ofthe country,
to my view, is the conversion OF wa
ter, by artificial means, into Ice. In
New Orleans, Just on the bank of the
Mississippi, where the raw material
costs nothing, are situated the works
where not only the ice used I'm tile
city Is made, but from which ice is
now being shipped to all parts OF the
South, and one cargo has actually
been sent to Philadelphia.
Aqua ammonia Is placed In receiv-
ers, and subjected to heat amounting
to ITO lbs. to the square inch; the am
moniacal gas or steam thus created,
passes from the receivers through
tubes subjected to flow of cold wa
ter, and In them condensed to a IL
quid; In this condition it escapes
through small tubes into larger ones
Immersed In salt water, and thereby
evaporation creates such q degree OF
cold In the salt water as to freeze, In
q few hours, distilled water encased I'm
galvanized iron eases standing In the
salt water among the evaporating
tubes. These cases are taken from
the salt water, plunged into hot wa
ter, and Inverted, when block of
ice weighing from twenty-five to
twenty-five pounds slips out.
The company have six Of these ma
chimes constantly at work, from one
end of the month TO the other, never
ceasing to manufacture, though the
laborers that attend them are worked
by reliefs. As much Ice In made on
Sunday as any other day In the week.
Each machine Is attended by six
hands during the twenty-four hours,
and each will make twelve tons OF
Ice during that time. The innumer-
able blocks of Ice are packed away in
large ice houses, and sawdust or rice
chaff placed between the ends of the
blocks and OH top of every tenth
block, SO as to be able readily to get
out block Weighing about 300 lbs.
A machine, warranted to make
1850 lbs. Of ice every twenty-four
hours, with a boiler of twO-horse power
for Its pumps, and similar boiler for
the ice machine, a distilling apparat.
us, and the ammonia required, costs
something over $1,000. In New Or
leans, where this ice Is worth SIS per
ton, New York Ice commands $50 to
S25 per ton. Great prejudices at one
time existed against this ice as being
too soft, easily melted, peculiarly
tasted, etc., but all these have died
away, and the artificial ice is Icing
almost universally used. Nowhere
can science be seen more beautifully
utilized that In an Ice manufacturing
establishment.-Rurdt Cdr0linian.

THE n. Y. Herald says that during
the last twenty years VIM. b. Astor
has SO managed fortune of 20, ,OOO, 900
as toroll 1t into sixty millions.
Suppose he has, what then! What
has he made by the operation except
increased worriment to keep the run
of his increased wealth? AstOr, with
sixty millions, eats no more quail,
oysters, wOodcock, and boned turkey,
than he did when he was worth ten
millions. He does not dress any bet
ter, and has a thousand times less fun.
We beat him on the sleep, and have
no lawsuits with tenants and tres
passers. Robbers lay in wait for him
every time he goes out after dark.
They don't think of us. Astor with
sixty million of dollars, has sixty
million of troubles. To keep the run
OF his rents, bonds and real estate,
keeps Astor In work for fourteen
hours during the day, and yet Astor
gets three square meals per diem,
which Is as many as we obtain with
out any millions, any tenants, and
real estate aud only ten hours work
per day. .
