"Salt," says Noah Webster, is the Chloride
"of Sodira,-a substance used for seasoning
"certain kinds of food, and for the preserya-
"tion of meat, sc. 1t is found native IN tho
"earth, or it Is produced by evaporation and
Generalization, from water impregnated with
"saline particesn Not shadow OF hint is
given by the great photographer that the
Chloride of Sodium found in American earth,
or crystalized from american water, is less
conservative or less savory than that which is
obtained elsewhere. Nay: we are well
assured that thousands of barrels of
American Salt are annually used at
the East to cure Cod and Mackerel, at the
West, to preserre Beef and Pork, and in every
part of our country to perform the Like essen
tial service, without suspicion that its anti
septic properties are destroyed by contact with
American soil. Is it not possible that The
World Is, for once, misledf May not its
rabid dislike and habitual disparagement of
everything American have carried it little
too fart
We arc quito certain that some American
land otherl Salt is vtiated by impurities, and
that fine Salt is not so well adapted as coarse
to the needs Of the packer We are not ignO-
rant that people who have tried to make a
Newly bushel of Salt, weighing 56 pounds,
do the duty Of Turks Island bushel, weigh
ing 90 pounds, have succeeded in spelling
their meat. But that Coarse as well as Fine
Salt is made nc our American Salt-wOrks-
most of it Of unsurpassed purity and ell
ciency--are facts of which New-York Editor
is not justified in either being or seeming
unaware.

OUR AGENTS.
SATURDAY. t.. DECEMBER o, Is71

GENERAL GRANTS PRESENTS Mr.. Tilton al
ludes to President Grant as one " who has been
enriched by costly presents while exercising the
immense power Of the Presidency" This is an
unqualified assertion, made as if upon absolute
knowledge, and yet speaking upon all the infor-
nation have, believe it utterly unfounded.
The allegation is that since his election to the
Presidency General Grant has been the recipent
of costly gifts. Returning from the war victo-
rious General, and holding no civil Office what
ever, he did receive gifts showered upon him by
grateful people, but received them as a hero of
many battles, and before he was even nominated
for the Presidency. His case was not solitary
General Sherman also received munifcent testi-
monials so did other Generals. General Nc
Clellan ran for the Presidency four years before
General Grant run. He, too, was " enriched by
costly presents" given, doubtless, in consider
alton of his military services, and his political
opponents never cast foul aspersions on him for
it. Wellington, after Waterloo, received presents
amounting to more than two million dollars
Whether heroes, in former times or in recent
times, have done well or ill in accepting tributes
from their countrymen, is not, however, the point
here. Be that one way or the other, the right or
wrong is the same in all cases alike and since
General Grants accession to the Presidency, as
far as can learn, he has never accepted costly
present " from any one.-Senator Conkliag.

TALKING MACHNE.-At the jefferson College,
recently, DR.. j. Soils Cohen delivered u lecture
on the mechanism of the human voice, illustra-
ting his remarks by an exhibition of the famous
talking machine, invented and constructed by
Prof. Faber, of Berlin, and which was exhibited
thirty years ago. The original inventor was the
uncle of the present exhibitor, who spent sew
eral years in improving it, and adding sounds
which were not previously produced.
DR.. Cohen began by decribng the anatomy
and physiology of the larynx, and the produc-
tion of the registers of the voice as seen in the
laryngoscope. The construction of the machine
was shown TO be close copy of the human or
gans, moved by levers similar to those OF the
piano, the bellows or lungs of the machine be-
ing worked by pedal.
Prof. Faber uses but fourteen sounds to pro-
duce all the combinations of speech At the
close of the lecture an exhibition of the working
of the machine was given. 1t was made to pro-
nounce large number of proper names, and to
speak sentences in both the English and German
languages.

THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE Truth, ETo.-It is
strange how closely men read the papers. We
never say anything that anybody don't like, but
we soon hear of it, and everybody tells us about
it. If, however, once in while we happen to
say good thing, we never hear of that We
may pay some man a hundred compliments, and
give him a dozen puffs, and he takes it as a trb-
ute to his greatness, and never thinks of it
never thinks it does him any good. But if we
happen to say anything that this very man don't
like, or something that he imagines is refec-
tion on him or his character see how quick he
flares up and gets mad about it, All our evil is
get any credit for what good we do.-Horace
Greeley

SPEED OF CARRIER PIGEoNs.-The Newark Id
rerttser gives the following:
The wonderful flight of the carrier pigeon
Tempest to Montclair, N. j., was noticed some
time ago. We have now to record the still
more extraordinary time of two other birds sent
home The following notes were found on them
on their arrival:
DEAR FArHER-Sept. 10, lS7l-Lat. 27 deg.
n, long. 10 deg. 80 W, ,OO4 statute miles from
Montclair, N. il will let the male bird Tor
nado go with this note at exactly 8 o'clock A.
NJ, New York time. let the bird Tempest ;
go on the 10th. She rose up to 500 hundred
yards high, and then made one tremendous
plunge to the North, and was out of sight as
quick as a flash of lightning.
HARRY c. BLEEKER.
DEAR FATHER-Sept. 81, lS7l-Lat 26 deg
N, long 93 deg. W., 800 statute miles from
Montclair, N. il will let the bird 'Typhoon
go with this note at exactly O'Clock A. M, New
York time He is powerful Bird but he has
a powerful job on hand. He must go through
it or perish. All well. HARRY @. BLEEkER.
The bird Tornado arrived at Montclair the
same day at two o'clock and seven minutes p. NJ.
making over 1876 miles an hour. 'Typhoon ar
rived the same day at three o'clock and fifty
four minutes P. NJ, and fell dead on his arrival,
but he brought the note in the unprecedented
time of 202 miles an hour"

LAURA D. FAR.-The reporter of the San Fran
cisco CaU has been visiting the city jail, and
thus alludes to Mrs. Fair, the slayer of Critten-
den: "She is still confined in cell No. 32 near
the entrance to the upper corridor of the Jail,
the same one in which she was placed after the
jury announced the crime charged against her,
and is in the enjoyment of good health. Her
features have assumed deadly pallor, which is
always noticeable on persons who have been
kept immuted in prison away from the bright
rays of the beautiful sun and the fresh, invigor-
ating air, for month after month After her
conviction, there were host of friends, or pre-
tended friends, who called to see her, and as
they termed it g to comfort her in her great mis-
fortune" But little by little the number of her
visitors grew less, and now, besides her mother, ),
daughter and attorneys, there are only three
women who call upon her, and only one of these
pays her visits daily. She passes her time of
late in reading and writing, and recently she has
completed dramatizaton of Owen Meredith's
poem, Lucille" but what disposition she will
make of it is not yet ascertained. She still
refuses to taste prison food, and her meals are
brought to her twice day from restaurant.
Mrs. Fair is full of hope that the Court having
her case under consideration will say by its de-
cision that she is entitled to a new trial"

ARTIFICIAL lvoRY.-By means of a simple pro-
cess, artificial ivory is now produced from India
rubber. Two pounds of pure rubber are dis
solved in thirty-two pounds of chloroform, and
the solution is then saturated with a current
amount of ammonia gas. When the rubber has
been completely bleached, the admission of the
gas is interrupted, the mass is transferred to a
vessel provided with stirrer in which it is
washed with hot water until the bleaching agent
has been entirely removed The remaining pro-
duct forms a kind of froth, which, being pressed
out, dried and again treated with a small guam
tty of chloroform, is finally obtained as a con-
sistent paste. This paste is now mixed with a
sufficient quantity of finely pulverzed phos-
phate of lime, or carbonate of zinc, until it as
sumes the appearance of moist flour. In this
condition it is pressed into hot molGs, which it
leaves sufficiently hard to be turned, planed,
filed or bored In order to initiate corals, pearls,
enamels, hard woods, ETC., it is only necessary
to mix the paste with the desired colors pre-
viousy to its being compressed.

EXERCISE AND REsT.-Exercise can kill man
as well as cure. TO be taken advantageously, it
should be done with judgment Sometimes a
particular part of the body needs exercise, but
the whole body is too weak to give it. In such
cases only the part needing it should have it..
But there is one rule which is applicable to all
Never 90 against the instincts Many persons
have hurried themselves into the grave by en-
deavorng to keep up when they ought to be in
bed and they do keep up, too, for so long
time that when they take to their beds their
strength is so completely exhausted that the
system has no power to rise, and they fall into
typhoid condition and all is lost. When anything
serious is the matter with the domestic animals
they court quiet and perfect rest. Sometimes
we feel indsposed to exercise from sheer aziness
in all loose conditions of the bowels debility, an
instructive desire to sit down and stay there is
universal In most of such cases, quietude is
cure. But there is one safe cure for all under all
circumstances if every stepyou take is with an
effort, do not take another-go to bed If you
feel the better for a walk, then walk, but stop
short of great fatgue-Dr. W. W. Hal.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1871-12-09

A FUNNY paragraph is on its travels about a
girl in Vermont who, having sued her lover for
breach of promise, laid her damages as follows
Nine shilling per week for setting up" with
cost of lights and fuel added in. We may laugh
as much as we please at this, but the girl is a
sensible damsel, and we hope that she got YER
dict. Bringing actions for damage to feelings
and injury to the heart, and for the value OF
pangs and delicate disappontments, is great
deal more mercenary than asking for remunera-
tion for loss of time and even of fire and lights.
A sharp girl has perfect right to say that,
but for the wicked conduct of the dishonest
swain, she might have married somebody else;
and lawyers, when they 90 to the jury for the
swinded plaintiff, should put the case in that
way. 1t might spoil their eloquent pathos but
after all, that sort of thing has become hack
neyed and unmpressive. Business is business,
and most women in this kind of litigation mean
business and nothing else.

THE SAVIOR AS DESCRIBED BY A ROMAN Gov
ERNoR.-At the period when the fame of Jesus
Christ began to spread in Judea Palius Lenteus,
who was then its Governor, wrote to the Roman
Senate I" There is here, at the present time, a
man of singular virtue who is called Jesus Christ !;
the barbarians esteem him as prophet, but his
sect adore him as descendant of the immortal
Gods. lie restores the dead to life, and heals
diseases by word and his touch. lie is of Il
tall and graceful stature, his aspect is mild and
venerable His hair is of color which cannot
be described, falling in rngets below his ears,
and spreading over his shoulders with infinite
grace. lie wears it parted the top of his
head, after the manner Of the Nazarenes. His
forehead is broad and smooth, his checks are
tinged with lovely bloom. His nose and mouth
are admirably regular his beard bushy, and of
the same color of his hair, descends an inch be-
low the chin, and, separated in the middle, it
assumes the form of fork. His eyes are beau
tful, sparkling and vivid. He reproves with
majesty and his exhortatons are full Of sweet
ness whether he speaks or acts, he does all
with eloquence and gravity. He has never been
seen to laugh, but has often been known to weep.
He is very temperate, very modest and very wise.
In a word he is a man who, by his great beauty
and his divine perfectons, surpasses the children
of men"

THE LOST DEMoCRACY.-The American Democ.
leaders supported and shielded the rebellion
From that hour its course has been irresistaby
downward. The moment it lost its patriotic I'M
pulse it lost its soul. Instead of graphing with
treason in 1860 and 1861, its leaders sympathized
with it. Ever since, their great difficulty has
been to get rid of the poison which from that
day has incurably corrupted their organization
The colossal frauds of Tammany, the 18th Of
July New York riots, the bnrbarites in the South
the refusal to obey the new constitutional amend
ments, the continued re-asserton of the hercsy
of State Rights--what are all these but the
cropping out of the original sin of submission to
rebellion? 1t is a homely axiom that " A house
divided against itself cannot stand" But here
is party not only divided against, but nearly
every member of it is at war with himself or at
war with his brother Democratic dsintegration
is the order of the day. Turn where these men
may, there is no hope. For ten years past the
citadel of the Democracy was Tammany Hall,
whose fraudulent majorties swallowed up the
Republican forces of New York State, aud were
even strong enough to absorb and obliterate
Republican COMMONWEALTH like Connecticut and
New Jersey. Now this citadel is tumbling to its
foundations by its own innate rottenness. 1t is
most bitterly assaied by the Democrats them
selves. If they turn to the South, they find u
people sick of reposing confidence in the Demo-
cratic leaders of the North. If they turn to the
West, they realize that every monument of West
ern progress aud prosperity has been erected and
consummated by Republicans in face of Demo
cratic opposition. So true is it that when the
Democracy lost its patriotic purpose, ten or
eleven years ago, and pronered itself as the
shield and support of rebellion against the Gov
ernment it lost its own soul.-lSedaha Times.
