A SIMPLE WEATHER GLASS.

This little instrument is prepared in the
following way:
Take glass about three inches in di-
ameter, and fill it up nearly to the top
with the following liquid: Two parts
camphor, one part nitrate of potash, and
one part sal ammonia, and dissolve in
strong spirits of wine; then add water
until you have precipitated the camphor.
The extremity Of the tube can be left open
or hermeticaly closed. The glass tube
thus prepared is then fixed in a horizontal
position against the wall or a board.
The changes in the weather are thus in
dcated:
lst If the weather is to be fine, the
composition of the substance will remain
entirely at the bottom part of the tube,
and the above liquid will be perfectly
clear and transparent.
2nd Before the weather changes to
become rainy, the preciptate will rise by
degrees, and small crystalizations, similar
in shape TO stars, will be seen to move
about in the liquid.
3rd When a storm is imminent, the
precipitate will nearly all arise to the top
of the tube, assuming the shape of leaf
or an assembage of crystals; the liquid
will appear to be in a state of etferves-
ceflce. MS CudngC very Ouch ttheS
place "a hours before the change in the
weather.
4th. The side from which the wind
will blow i'll squall will also be indicated
through the direction and the elevation Of
the crystallization in the tube, the crystal
lization always forming on the side from
which the wind will blow.
9th. In the winter season the crystalli-
cation will maintain itself higher in the
tube; snow and freezing weather are also
indicated by the particles of the substance
floating in the liquid and assuming the
shape of long hairy needles.
9th. In summer time, the weather be-
ing dry and warm, the crystalization will
have tendency to remain lower in the
tube, and the liquid will also be more trans
parent.
The amount of crystallized particles
which will be seen floating in the liquid is
sure indication of fine or bad weather,
but will depend entirely on the suddenness
of the change in the weather which is to
take place. acting in the most energetic
way on the composition above described.
The value of this simple instrument to
indicate the continuance of fair weather,
will be readily appreciated by those whose
occupations are affected by changes in the

MEMORY.

love to muse at twilight hour,
Der joys departed long,
And then sad memory's gath'ring power
Brings round me in a throng
The hopes and fears Of other days,
Which cheer'd or child me then,
And in the mist of memory's haze
They re with ME oft again.
And faces too of lov'd and lost
Are rising up anew,
And from the churchyard's silent host
They fit before my view;
They speak Of Joys long pass'd away.
And vanished into nought,
And point me to brighter day
Whose pleasures are not bought
And one from out that silent band
Comes to me at the even,
And seems to take me by the hand
To point me unto Heaven.
'Tis she lov'd in childhood's hour,
My mother gentle, kind;
Who strove with loves almighty power
To lead my wayward mind
To thoughts of good and holy things,
Known to the angels pure,
Thoughts which an upright conscience brings,
And joys which long endure.
How Oft when evenings sable shade
Proclaimed the hour of rest,
I've listened to her as she prayed,
Half sleeping on her breast.
Long years have passed away since then,
And still listen yet
To hear that gentle, loving voice
never can forget.
But, ah that tongue is silent now,
Nor beams the lovelit eye;
For DEATHS cold wing hath fann'd her brow,
And borne her to the sky.
Thus saddencd memory bears me back
With mingled hopes and fears,
To scenes on childhood's changing track
OF sunshine and of tears.
Those days never can forget
While memory holds her sway,
And ne'er till life's bright sun be set
Can they be swept away. FMS.

A Financial Statement.

The statement prepared by the United
States Treasurer for private information
shows that the government has paid, of the
bonded debt alone, from March II, 1862 to
November IL, 1870, in principal, interest,
and premium, sl82,942,7S7, equal to 1888,
SS per day. The total premium paid has
been S2l ,3l7 400, and the interest S. OBS. $40.
On the purchase of S159, 589,75O of United
States bonds since the eleventh of March.
1869, on which day the Secretary Of the
Treasury made his first purchase for the
sinking fund, the total of the estimate for
the year ending June 30, 1871, $293, 5l6,732
The amount appropriated for the wear is
$272, 3O8, 337. The total of estimates for the
year ending june 30, 1872, as prepared bv
Secretary Boutwell,, to be submitted to Con-
gress, are $3.50, 272, 1856. The estimates are
exclusive of all unexpended balances, which
amounted the thirtieth of June last to $50
600, 600, and which are rendered unayaila-
BILE by the eighth section Of the act of Jnly
IL, 1870. Had these balances remained
available, the present estimates would prob
ably have been between forty and fifty mil.
lions below the present figures. The Treas
ury Department now prints four thousand
copies Of the public debt statement in Ger
man and two thousand in English. PrOmi
nent bankers and brokers ut home and
abroad are regularly supplied with copies Of
the debt statement. The statement hereto
fore has been telegraphed to Europe The
present interruption of the Atlantic cables
temporarily interferes with this arrange
ment.

National Banks.

The report of the Controller of the Cur
renew will show that on the first of October
the number of national banks that had been
organized was l7l5, of which 50 had been
placed in liquidation, leaving 1877 in opera
tion;~with paid in capital of $l36, AIS, 81.
The amount Of United States bonds depos-
tied Is security for the payment Of circula-
ton was 81, $50, and the notes issued
amounted to 1881, 7l8, 9Ol, of which 1929 729,
$40 was in actual circulation. Of the fifty
four millions Of additional national bank
circulation authorized under the act of last
Iulv. only some four millions have been
placed by the Organization of new banks at
the South and West. There are over two
hundred additional applications for new
banks, assuming to have in all some twenty.
six millions of capital, but it is believed
that half of them, If not more, only exist on
paper, and can never be organised.

During the month of December 1852 twenty four

constituted that month, and the New Orleans Gas
Company's bill amounted to $50 60. My oil works

if that number had been i'll use last December, the

Charles Cavaroc, Esq, President Barbarin Gas
Lighting Company:
DEAR SIR-It affords pleasure to state that the
operation of the gas machine, for sixteen lights
put up by your company in my dwelling, has
proved to be entirely satisfactory. Since the
second day of OctoOeT last the gas has been
burned nightly, at an average Of eight (Argand
burners) lights, from early dusk until about eleven
O'clock, and one light all night The light is, in
every respect, all that could possibly be desired.
It is perfectly safe, and is superior to coal in
brilliancy, the light being softer and much easier
to read or write by.
The simplicity Of the machine is such that any
member Of my family can attend to it during my
absence.
Very respectfully. .ss.

Charles Cavaroc, Esq, President Barbarin Gas Light
ing Company:
DEAR SIR-It is with pleasure that express the
entire satisfaction which your apparatus, placed in
my Oil Works on Bienville street, since five weeks,
have given me.
Here enclosed you will find detailed report,
which will show YOU the economy which results
from the use Of your gas. -
have been able to ascertain with correctness
saving OF sixty-one and threequarters per cent on
my gas bills paid to the New Orleans Gas Company
during last winter.
1t is but fair to observe that some of my pipes,
which were placed several years ago, too
small, and, notwithstanding this defect, the light
all over my works is as bright and brilliant as
heretofore. Considering the Earring caused by the
working of the machines night and day, and the
immense length of the gas pipes, consider the re-
suits obtained more than satisfactory.
Believe me, dear sir, your obedient servant,
