PHtnam'S POWtler-ilOrn.

L. E. Sleigh, of Washington, has il
his possession General PuInam's old
powder-hOrn This relic was beQueathed
by Putnam to his oldest son, who on his
death-bed gave 1t to his grandson,
William Pitt Putnam, and he in turn
bequeathed 1t Gust before his death,
about four months siGcc,) to little
grandson, of the Putnam name, placing
it in the care of Mr. Sleigh. The horn
is a large one, similar to the old fash
toned hunting horns. 1t has wooden
bottom, and III its base a brass staple
to admit the end OF esling. Upon its
side is the following inscription "Cap
tain Israel Putnam's horn; made at
Fort William Henry, November 10, A.
ID. 1756"
Following this are the words, "A
Plan of the Stations from Albany to
Lake George, with rude tracing of
the several forts which formed that his
toric Gordon. The course of The
River (Iudson) and '"The Road are
also marked. Then come these quaint
lines of verse:
when bows and weighty spears were used in
Fight
'Twere nervous Limbs Declar'd man of might:
But now Gunpowder scorns such strength to
own,
And Heroes, not by Limbs, but souls are
known"
Finally appears. in large characters,
reaching over distance of about six
inches, the single word WAR. :"
Besides the letters and figures named,
there are numerous unintelligible sym
bols cut on various parts of It.

east. From acknowledgement south
wards the Eastern governments OF
Penza, Astracan, Orenburg, and the
Ural territory are touched. AT Penza
the district the most smitten is Nishne
lovo, which alone has one-half of the
dead III the province. In the town OF
Astracan the fist case occurred on the
14th of July, from which date to the
9th of August $50 cases and 326 deaths
are recorded The I'd of August was a
black day to the place. On it died sc
out of 1l6 seized. And, that no point
of the compass should be exempt, chol
era appeared in the beginning of the
current month at Archangel. The ra-
pidity of its spread and the sternness
of its reign in those northern parts are
described in the gloomiest colors; but
it seems latterly to have somewhat
abated. As will appear from above,
European Russia is entirely overrun by
the disease. From the Black Sea to
White, from the Ural Mountains to The
Prussian frontier, the pestilence unfolds
its sable standard. Destitution and
uncleanliness, the busy landmarks
everywhere of the disease, in-Rus-
sia, have an ally more power
full than they superstition
AS a rule the Russian peasant
prefers in bodily ailments to apply
to the Wise woman of his
village rather than to a medical man
the former is supposed to heal with sa-
cred formulas, whereas the science of
the latter has a dash of the diabolcal
In the towns there is more enlighten-
ment, But the number of the physici-
ans is far too small, and their ed ucation
frequently falls short Of the mark In
the present crisis the members of the
profession are ordered about by the
government like SO many soldiers to
combat the enemy wherever he shows
himself. To make up for their scarcity
In some degree, the Emperor has Just
ordered that every facility shall be Civ
Ell to women devOting themselves to the
subordinate branches of medical prac-
tlce, and the preparation of drugs. The
medical rank or degree offered as the
reward of their studies is that of a
Feldcher, or an inferior order Of army
surgeon; but they are not to be eXclud-
ed from higher honors, aud if duly
qualifying themselves may take their
doctors degree, though in that case
they require "A special permit from the
government before being allowed to
practice. But these measures are too
late to counteract the swift destruction
wrought by the raging epidemic In Il
country in whose Eastern half there is
one death to POS inhabitants as
regular thing in ordinary years, the
grave is ministered to by influences not
to be got rid of in a hurry.

Machinery for Working Iron.

For Strengthening large round iron, a
machine has been contrlved which per
forms the work very perfectly and leaves
the iron free from scale, and looking
well The iron is placed under the
machine, and is rolled backwards and
forwards over a smooth bed of plates
Any pressure that may be desired can
be given to the machine when in opera
ton, by simply placing a weight on top
of it.
Sheet iron stacks for heating and
pudding furnaces are now being made
in separate rings, instead of one whole
piece, as formerly. Each ring has a
band of fat iron-horse-shOe bar
about two inches from the lower edge,
firmly rivited, and by which each is
supported as it fits into and rests on
the edge of the one next below BY
making the stack IN this way, in short
sections, 1t can be more conveniently
erected, and also can be repaired by
renewing ony WORKOUT part, OF burnt
section, at less cost and much less Ia
Dor than when otherwise constructed
A wire brush for scratching scale from
large round bars during the rolling, is
in use at the Griswold Mill, Troy The
brush is fastened to the rest bar on the
diScharging side of the rolls, and the
bar passing through the wires is et1ec-
tually cleaned or freed from all scale by
the time it gets the usual number of
passes through the finishing groove.
1t is said that brush of this kind.
same as frequently used at foundries
for cleaning castings, properly arranged
behind the rolls, is better than the
trough of cinders sometimes used IN
steel mills, and which is placed behind
the rolls in the same position.

Iohuuy and his Little Dog.

Johnny had a little dog,
With hair as black as jet,
And every place that Johnny went,
The purp went too, you bet.
He followed him to school one day,
THAT happened to be pear,
But when the teacher booted him
He walked off on his ear.
Returning home he me. COW,
And at the cow did fl;
she tossed him up five hundred feet
And how is that for high?
The poor beast ne'er came down again,
And John was left mourner;
For the purp was left in the steeple-top
OF "the little church round the corner
wher Johnny heard his darling's fate,
A word he scarcely said,
But toddled home and weeping cried,
q Now put me in my little bed

IUther'S Wedding Ring.

The wedding ring of Martin Luther
IS still preserved in a collection OF rare
Jewels. 1t is a real work of art, very
elaborate in design, and delicate in
finish When Luther had renowned
the Romish faith with its unholy dog
ma of cehbacy, and had resolved to
marry the fair nun Catharine, he
doubtless ordered the wedding ring
wrought after design of his own sug-
gestiOn. Marriage was not to him a
gay event III butterfly life, to be cele-
brated by every conceivable folly of
fashion and frivoIity. 1t was to him
now the hottest estate which man could
occupy on earth-a bond symbOlical Of
the union between Christ and his
Church-and as such he entered into
it, and took upon him its VOWS in sol
emn awe, rs well as in holy JOY. Cath
arine was to receive a rich and costly
ring, but 1t was to be one which would
keep ever before her Him who is the
husband of His bride, the Church, and
her obligations to Him as well as TO her
earthly husband.
The stern old doctor had not taste
for cOoIng doves or shooting Cupids,
therefore these had no place on the
wedding ring. The passion of his life
was the passion Of his wedding day.
On the broad surface of the ring are
seen the scourge, the spar and the pill
lar which figured in the cruciixion,
with full view of the awful scene of
the Savior's passion, The full length
figure extended on the cross is the re-
lief on onehalf the ring, the head being
ring. On the other half are objects
connected with the scene of the cruel
tixion. On the inside of the ring is en-
graved in fair characters
