The Use Of Steam.

We quote an article from the Engt-
neering and Mining Journal, giving a
practical and cheap plan to prevent
steam explosions on passenger boats.
The writer, an old engineer, says OF his
plan
In erecting the tube, common wrought
iron pipe, such as is used for gas pur-
poses, 4 Of an inch, or an inch diameter,
is all that would be required, and this
inserted through the top of the boiler,
and carried down to its low-water line,
and thence up by the smoke-stack to the
height of 32s feet, would counterbalance
a pressure of 16 pounds to the inch,
which is all / would allow on passenger
boats. This pipe, or tube, is to be
opened at both ends, and, without valve
or stop-cock of any kind attached to it,
carried up to the requisite height, and
then returned down to the engine-room,
or front of boiler, when it would at once
indicate an over-pressure of steam, by
water issuing from the orifce of the
tube, i'll case of the pressure being above
what should get below what should be
the proper maximum, or, if the water
should get below the proper line in the
boiler, then steam must issue. l do not
undertake to say this plan precludes the
necessity of care and attention. Some
body must be ON hand to notice the in
dications. In the early days of steam
boating, when people were contented to
use moderate and safe pressure OF
steam, no such plan was absolutely nee
essary, but now, when the question of
safety is lost sight of, it is, and its great
simplicity is recommendation, which
cannot escape the notice of any one who
will give it a moments consideration,
for, being governed by laws which ma
ture has enacted, there can be no mis-.
take here and, further than this, the
arrangement is not liable to any abuse
unless it be done wilfully and intention.
ally. The theories put forth to account
for the bursting of boilers, / discard
and condemn, separately and en- masse.
/ venture the remark that, in my opin-
ion, too great an effort has been made,
in some quarters, to attach odium te
certain parties unfortunately connected
with our late steamboat disasters. They
have not done more nor less than Other
steamboat men have done, and are doing
daily, constantly, almost without any
exception. Until the system is in some
way changed for the better, accidents
will continue to occur as heretofore.

MARKING. THE recent death of the
King of Siam and the ascension of anew
ruler has brought to notice curious
custom which is peculiar to the Siamese
nation. 1t is called marking the peo-
ple." Every male subject of the Gov
ernment must elect Government official
whom he will recognize as his marker,
and then must have ''a mark" made on
the back OF one of his wrists indicating
the department to which he is attached
ALI persons thus marked are liable to
be called upon to render personal service
in the department to which they belong
This SYSTEM of marking is unpopular
with the people, and at such times as it
is to be enforced the greatest vigilance
is required on the part Of the Govern
ment officials to prevent a general emil
grafton from the country of those subject
to the mark

DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT RELICS In
MAINE. The Brunswick Telegraph speaks
of the discoveries at Pemaquid. These
discoveries were made ON the Lewis
farm, the Western fort, so-called, in re-
lation to which there is not even tradi-
ton, much less recorded history. The
Pemaquid people being thoroughly
aroused, have been turning up the soil
within the last four weeks, and have un-
earthed faced wall extending from the
shore Westward in the direction of the
terrace which faces to the North, toward
the tan-pit, from which, within q few
years, bits of leather have been taken. A
perfect axe also has been discovered with
an eye for the handle unlike that for
modern axes) fitted like the eye for hoe
handle. Bits of blue crockerS glass,
and tiles, for house roofs, have been
taken from the soil. Now ali these arti-
cles have an age in which they were
used, and when that is determined, after
careful investigation, the period of Pema-
quid settlements may possibly be ap-
proximated.

An AnecdOte of Everett.

In his speech at the Amherst semi
centennial commencement Professor
Park said 81 have recalled this after
noon a scene which occurred thirty.six
Years ago, ON the day preceding the
commencement. Edward Everett then
delivered the Grafton. In the midst of
the Grafton he uttered one sentence
which called forth bursts of applause.
"I will read that sentence Before
the admiring student of nature has re.
allied all the wonders of the world, let
him sit down and know the universe in
which he lives, by examining the races
of animals disporting themselves in their
representative ocean-a drop of water.
"After that sentence. it appeared as
if all Amherst College would not cease
to clap their hands and stamp their feet.
and yet you seem to be unmoved by the
recital. Now the question comes, what
is the reason. The reason is found in
the studied artlessness of Edward Ev-
erett.
While he was ON the point of speaking
the words, drop of water he turned
carelessly and saw a glass of water on
the table. He put his finger in the
glass, and a drop of water was suspend
ed therefrom. I have it on the best
authority that six or seven weeks before
that grafton was delivered, Everett wrote
letter to friend in Boston asking him
whether so bold gesture would be
proper"

PEA SoUP.-Soak quart of peas in
lukewarm water for three hours pour
off the water and boil in three and a
half quarts of water well salted, until the
peas are thoroughly soft. Then strain
through colander and throw the peas
away. This will keep several days in
cool weather. When used, take out the
needful quantity, boil it with bit of
pork partially cooked, an onion, a pinch
of salt and pepper, and serve hot with
squares of toasted bread floating on top.

South American Indians.

Neither priests nor fetishes are found
among the Patagonians, Puelches, and
Pampeans, says a writer who has been a
prisoner among them. The fathers and
mothers themselves transmit their relig-
ion to their descendants, who scrupr-
lously observe it. This fact rs the more
extraordinary, because among the Kitch-
los and the Bolivians, their neighbors,
are found idols, and undoubted proofs
of an interesting religion of very ancient
origin. Finally, whatever may be the
simplicity of their religion, the belief in
1t by the Patagonians is not the less pro-
found, and of this they every instant
give proofs. An Indian never eats or
drinks without first having prayed to
God to grant him all things necessary to
his life, nor without offering him the
first portion. He turns toward the sun,
sent by God, when in the act of cutting
off piece of meat, or pouring out a lit
tie water, accompanying the action with
the following words, the formula being
slightly varied "Oh cachai, vita

Partisan TypOgraphers.

Partisan typographers, although their
position may be snubbed and ridiculed
by many strangers, totally ignorant of
their ability, talent and general ca
pacity, form, nevertheless, one of the
most learned and able classes of the
literature-lovng capital, and it requires
more than the simple knowledge of
type-setting and composing to enable a
typographer 20 obtain a good situation
on some leading journal or to be admit
ted as member of the Typographical
Society, which, in its way, is exceed
ingly powerful, and exerts boundless
influence over the entire Partisan press.
With few exceptions they are all more
or less gifted with highly cultivated, ar
tistic feelings, and many, though stead
fast to their chosen trade, give over
whelming proof of their talent rs poets,
painters and musicians; but their dom
inant passion and pet pastime is the
stage and everything concerning the
atrical matters, and often in dramatical
representations, destined to alleviate
some misery or organized for some char,
table purpose, they display the ANNA
ton, spirit, goodwill and enthusiasm
which seem to be an appanage of their
profession.
Many of the best French dramatists
have passed through the printing office
on the road to fame and popularity,
and society of typographical actors
exists still, who interpret the principal
pieces of the Boulevard theaters III the
most mastery, artistic manner. A mil,
itary career possesses few attractions for
the Partisan type-setter, and if obliged
to serve, at the expiration of his time
he quickly returns to the workshop,
not being at all ambitious of following
the CORY banner of Mars and reaping
the bought laurels of war. Only
during the siege of Paris, it must be
said, thai the "Franc Tireurs de la
Presse," composed entirely of typogra
pliers, gained universal praise for theil
heroic conduct in all Trochu's famous
sorties, and behaved themselves in such
an admirable, chivalric manner that il
is at present great and merited honor
to have belonged to that valiant bat
talon.
OFF duty, the typographers lead s
pleasant life; for they are well paid
and have always been famous as being
the most reckless, dashing, extravagan,
fellows, next to the students Of literary
and Bohemian Paris-the young ones
of course. Others live more nationally
follow the classes of different philo
technical associations, either of music
drawing, singing or languages. or else
devote their time entirely to the holy
pleasures of "home," which is SO sci
