To be considered wealthy in Manhat
tan is to be wealthy indeed. Persons
who are thought to be very rich elsewhere
are hardly regarded in comfortable CIR
cumstances here. When a man has an
immense amount of property, as many
of our citizens here, il is almost impos-
sible to tell-hs can hardly tell himself
how much he is worth. VIM. b. Astor

An Astounding Discovery i'm Chem
falrV.

Mr. Theophile Ladislas Zchweskofski,
one of the cleyerest pupils of Baron Lie
big has just made an astounding discov-
cry in chemistry, viz; the silicious and
aluminous ethers 1t is but necessary to
pour into a champagne glass certain
quantity of these two ethers to produce
almost instantaneously the most magniti-
cent stones combined with very pure
oxide of iron the aluminous ether pro-
duces ruby; with sulphate of copper, the
sapphire with salts of manganese, the
amethyst with salts Of nickel, the EN-
erald; with salts Of chrome, the silicious
ether produces the different colorations
Of the topaz. These others evaporate
with penetrative perfume, which sever
al persons have declared to be very
agreeable. The salts crystalize very
regularly as soon as the liquid part has
gone. The corindons obtained through
this means are not quite as hard as the
natural ones; but if the operation is
carefully done the brilliancy is admir-
able. The silica and alumina which
constitute the earths and clays are prin-
ciples easily found in the different parts
of the globe; and the preparation OF the
new ethers, though delicate, costs very
little. This discovery will bring forth a
revolution not only in the jewelry, but in
most of our Industrial arts.

imaginative, and combines in himself
the characteristics of all other national
tiles Nowhere was the finest literature
better appreciated than in this country,
and it was notorious fact that the best
English writer's found majority of their
readers on this side of the Atlantic He
closed with a glowing tribute to the
Heading American poets, in, which he
said that Bryant, in his green old age,
had given us the English Illiad of all
time, and what he had done for the Gre
clan bard Longfellow had done for the
great poet of Italy.

day. Every Sunday evening they hold
their meetings in school-house, until
difficulty about the candles used caused
them to leave, and now they meet at any
house in the neighborhood where the
spirit manifests itself.
John Rhinesmith, wealthy and
well-to-do farmer of the neighborhood, is
the chief man of the band, and recently
had his house rebuilt especially to ac-
commodate the brethren; one room rest
ing on strong beams, it stands the jump
ing; but about month ago an ardent
member, in a paroxysm of fanaticism,
declared that when filed with the Holy
Ghost he felt as light as air, and even
though he jumped upon looking-glass,
he would not so much as .bruise it with
scratch; whereupon he began to leap
upon the stove-hearth, and broke it off,
and then leaping upon the top broke in
the covers and finally smashed big
rocking-chair before he subsidized. Re-
Gently Rhinesmith baptized Mr. Gilbert
B. Speaker, a man of family, and con-
vert to the new faith, the baptism taking
place in Rhinesmiths mill-pond, before
the members of the band and amid shouts
and cries, the whole gang at one time
shouting fre!' to the alarm of others in
the neighborhood, it being then after
midnight.
One of the band told reporter that
as he was at work in his barn he got the
spirit, and that he ran one mile over
bitches and fences before the spirit left
him, and all this time he was so elated
that he thought he was flying. When
jumping in ecstacy of the Holy Ghost,
they say their spirits rise far above their
bodies They permit no persons except
ing those belonging to the band to join
with them in singing or jumping or any
other of their exercises, although no OBJ
lection is made to the attendance of out
siders at the meetings of the band. A
dozen viii have the floor at once, pound
ing and kicking, and the whole crowd
seems worked up to a fearful state of ex-
citement-some jumping until they fall;
the women shrieking in the widest man
ner, and others praying whistling and
putting as for wagerl. They permit no
levity on the part Of young folks during
their proceedings Mr. Cobb, one of
the band, is thought to be growing in
sane under the excitement of this relig-
ious frenzy. There is no doubt that the
members Of the band are sincere enthu-
siasts. The society now numbers over
FIVE hundred members.

Celebration of Lord Byron's Birth
day at DeImOnicO's.

The New York Times, of the 26th ult.
says:
On the evening of the 25th of Apri
instant about fifty persons sat down to I
banquet at Delmonico's to celebrate thu
birthday of Lord Byron. Judge JoneI
presided, and at his right were Hon. VIM
Preston, of Georgia, formerly Minister tC
Spain, and Rev DIR. Burrows, of Vir
ginia at his left John G. SAKE anC
Judge Smith, with their wives; while a.
the foot of the table sat Cassius NJ Clay
and along the board other gentlemen
| foremost in the various professions, to
gether with fair sprinkling of ladies.
After the good things of the table had
beer amply discussed, the President in
troduced the intellectual treat with few
remarks on the rapid growth and devel
opment of the country. The health Of
the President of the United States and
the Queen of Great Britain was then
drunk, after which a poem on the Ge-
MUS of Byron" was read by A. H. II.
Dawson, in the absence of the author,
Mr.. A. w. Austin The toast "Our
Country" was then announced and re-
sponded to by Mr.. W. j. Hill, who sang
"The Star Spangled Banner" and Mr..
Cassius NJ. Clay, who spoke of the great
advantages and blessings possessed by
this country as compared with other ma
tions. After speaking in the highest
terms of the natural advantages of the
country and the high character Of the
people, Mr.. Clay said:

denounce the yirulence of party spirit,
the personalities, falsehoods and sensa-
tional utterances of the press, the
stealthy progress of corruption in Off
cial life, the election of judges, who look
all the time steadily at the source of
power; the frequent elections with their
excitements and Generalization, and
above all the abuse of the ballot which
saps the very foundations Of our iber-
ties, and makes Repubhcanism impossi-
BILE. We need permanent Judicial,
civil and foreign service, and responsible
ministers of the Cabinet in the Houses
of Congress. Our Anglo-Saxon good
sense will bring about these aud like re-
forms. We must win the nations by the
glory Of our example-lead the van not

tianity, till the nations shall become one

EVERYBODY knows Marcus, the gallant
clerk of the ferry boat, and what he says
must be go, for he sees all such things.
Yesterday a green looking couple started
for Davenport to get married. Hand in hand
they came aboard and took seat and com
menced gazing into each others eyes with
an expression of dewey tenderness that was
absolutely enchanting. Such an amount of
billing and cooling that they were preserv
ing for family jars was to much for Marcus,
and he hadn't the courage to approach them
for the tritfling fare, but, waiting his chance,
he found the youth out by the rail, having
his boots BACKED. and. then, went for the
five cent nickel with all the haste that the
Union did with its extra kilograms" The
youth, SO enraptured in contemplating his
radient face in his shiny boot, forgot to
hand over fare for the sffectionate waiter in
the cabin. Thinking that the young lady
lived in Davenport, and insisted on woman's
rights, to pay her own bills, he approached
her-held out his hand and gently said,
fair She looked up, blushed, stsmmered;
when the clerk turned several colors and
ss,d; 81 didn't mean that.-6ve cents
please With a sigh of relief she said 90
-ssk-you will find my husb-husband
out .nere-ohl tHe will be soon.) Marcus
went.
