Among the mechanical novelties recently
brought out is o gunpowder pile-driver,"
which drives in piles more rapidly than by
any other method, and does not require any
hoop or protection around the top of the
pile. A notion of the contrivance and its
operation may perhaps be gathered from n
brief description. Tall hoisting timbers, as
usual in pile-drivers, are fitted up; the pile is
set in place by a steam engine; a gun weigh
ing 1880 pounds, with a siX-inch bore, is
lowered and made to rest on the top of the
pile. The muzzle points upwards, and the
breech, being dished or recessed, covers the
top Of the ipile It's a cap. Above the gun is
suspended tho ram, with piston projecting
downward that fits the bore of the gun. All
being ready, q cartridge is dropped into the
gum the ram is released and descends, the
piston plunges into the gun, COMPRISING the
air, and fires the cartridge A tremendous
explosion follows; up flies the ram and is
caught in the brake, and with the yecoil of
the gun down goes the pile. This must Ger
tainly be regarded as a very clever way Of
utilizing the; power of fred guapowder.
Tried for the first time, and by inexperienced
hands, constructing pier. near Philadelphia,
1t drove piles ten inches iii diameter to d
depth of nearly twenty feet with five blows,
and with an expenditure of eight ounces OF

to speak their minds. Nothing can exceed
the severity of their censure of the Ledger
reporters conduct in writing up the affair
The Commercial regards the publication In
the Ledgsr as an "indiscreion." '''The ar
icle, it says, reflected upon the manhood
and gentlemanly qualities of Harvey, and
very naturally he was highly incensed at it,
and in u moment when his passions were
aroused he so far forgot himself as to seek
the destruction of a comrade. The Courier
Journal is more pointed in its denuncations.
1t says the Ledger's publication was inexcu-
sable-that it could do no good--and init
mates the writer, in thus tampering with the
sensitive nature of a Kentuckian, as guilty
OF murder For our part, we are free to
admit that we bold different views from
those of the respectable press, and sympa-
thize with the disreputable Ledger. If in
this day and generation two young bloods
choose, TO make asses of themselves, it is not
only the right but the duty of the press to
chronicle the fact In combating the alb
surd 'tCode of Honor there is no weapon
SO potent as ridiculc, and it should be used
unsparingly. The publication in the L6tSger
was right Although il may possibly have
cost human life, the good it will do in
breaking down the barbaroIs public senti-
ment which prevails in kentucky will more
than compensate for the cost. 1t is high
time that the young men of that benighted
Commonwealth should learn that there are
attributes more precious than personal
courage" and that an expressed doubt of
mans readiness to WELD the flashing bowie
knife, or finger the derringer's trigger, is not
an Offense SO heinous as to demand the i'll

~, Meep straight Ahead.

X, Pay no attention to slanderers and gossip
mopgers. ,, Keep straight on in your course,
and let their backbitting die the. death Of
neglect. What is the use of lying awake
nights, brooding- over the remark of some
false friend, that runs through your brain
like jforkea, lightning? What's The, use. of
getting into a worry and fret over gossip that
has been afioat to your disadvantage, by some
meddlesome busyhody, who has more time
than charaGter?1 These can't possibly iniure
you, unless, indeed, you lake notice of them,
and In combating them, give them standing
and character. y II what is said about you is
true, set yourself right at once; if 1t is false,
let it o,.fors what it will fetch. If bee
stings you, would you go to the hive and de-
stroy it? Would nota thousand come upon
you? tits wisdom TO say little respecting the
Injuries you have received. Weare generally
losers in the end, if we stop to refute all the
backbitingsi and gossipings we may hear by
the way. They are annoying, it is true, but
not dangerous so long as we do not stop to
expostulate' and scold Our characters are
formed and sustained by ourselves, and by
our own actions and purposes, and not by
others. Let us always bear in mind that
"caluminators may usually be trusted to time
and the slow but steady justice of public
opinion"

How to Get Sleep.

How to get sleep is to many persons mat
ter of high Importance. Nervous persons,
who are troubled with wakefulness and ex-
citability, usually have strong tendency of
blood to the brain, with cold extremities.
Let such arise .and. chafe the body and ex-
tremities with a crash towel, or rub smartly
with the hands, to promote circulation, and
withdraw the excessive amount of blood
few minutes. A cold bath, OF, a sponge batll
and rubbing or good run, or a rapid walk
in the open air, or going up and down stairs
few times before retiring, viii aid in equal
izing circulation ands promote sleep These
1 rules are simple, and easy of application in

two or three piles of oak bark, constitute the
first view OF Appomattox, as seen from the
windows of the train. True, this is only
the station, the village of Appomattox being
mile or more away, and the scene of the
memorable surrender further away still. No

The Wife.


In comparison with the loss Of wife all
other obereavements are trifies. The wife !;
she who fills so large q space in the domestic
heaven, she who is so busted, SO unwearied--
bitter is the tear that falls on her clay. You
stand beside her grtive and think of the past !;
it seems an amber-coloretp pathway, where
the sun sh0nn upon flowers, or the stars hung
glittering overhead. Fain would the soul
linger there. T.. No thorns are remembered
above that sweet clay, save those your own
hand may have unwillingly planted,Is Her
noble, tender heart lies open to your inInost
sight. You think of her as oil gentleness, all
beauty and purity, But she is dead. The
dear head that SO often laid upon your bosom,
now rests upon pillow of clay. The hands
that ministered so untiringly are folded,
white and cold, beneath the gloomy portals.
The heart whose every beat measured an
eternity of love, lies under your feet And
there is no white arm over your shoulder
now no face to look up in the eye of love
no trembling lips to murmur, ''Oh, it is so
sad" There is SO strange a hush in every
room. No smile to greet you at nightfali.
And the clock ticks and strikes and ticks--it
was sweet music when she could hear it.
Now it seems to knell only the hours through
which you watched the shadows of death
gathering upon her sweet face. But many a
tale it telleth of joys past, sorrows shared,
and beautiful words and deeds registered
above You feel that the grave cannot keep
her. You know that she is in happier world,
but feel that she is often by your side, an an
gel presence. Cherish these emotions; they
will make you happier. Let her holy pres
ence be as charm to keep you from evil, In
all new and pleasant connections, give her Il
place in your heart. Never forget what she
has been to you--that SHE has loved you BE
tender to her memory. .,.,,.... .'rg.-

Cure for Esheumatis

We find the following cure for this
painful disease in one of our exchanges. The
efficacy Of i the application would be greatly
in the very hot liquid and placing it over the
seat OF the pain and putting two or three
thicknesses of flannel over this. When they
are removed the following morning, the aft
fected part should be hathcd in cold water:
t'Boil Il small potfulsof potatoes, and bathc
the palt affected with the water in which the
potatoes were boiled, as hot as can be ap-
piled, Immediately before going to bed. The

The Unknown People.

T., 1t makes one hOmesick in this world to
think that there are so many rare people he
can never know and so many excellent peo-
pie that scarcely any one will know, in fact.
One discovers friend by chance, and can
not but feel regret that twenty, or thirty years
OF life may be, have been spent without the
least knowledge of him. When he is once
known, through him an opening is made
into another little world, into circle of cul-
ture and loving hearts and enthusiasm in
dozen congenial pursuits, and prejudices
perhaps. How instantly and easily the bach
elor doubles his world when he narries, and
enters into the unknown fellowship of the
to him continually increasing company which
is known in popular language as. .'all his
wifes relations" Near at hand daily, no
doubt, are these worth knowing intimately
And when one travels he sees what q vast
material there is for society and friendship,
of which he can never avail himself. Car
load after carload of summer travel goes by
one at any railway station, out of which he
could choose score of lifelong friends, if
the conductor would introduce him. There
are faces of refinement, of.quick wit, of
sympathetic kindness, interesting people,
travelled people, entertaining people, as you
would say in Boston, mice people you
would admire to know" whom you con-
stantly meet and pass without a sign of re-
cognition. many of whom are no doubt your
iong-iost brothers and sisters. You ,an see
that they also have their worlds and their in
terests, and they probably know. a great
many nice" people. The matter of per-
alliking and attachment is d good due TO
the mere fortune of associations. More fast
friendship aud pleasant acquaintanceship are
formed on the Atlantic steamships, between
those who would have been only indifferent
acquaintances elsewhere, than one, would
think possible on a voyage which naturally
makes one as selfish as he is indifferent to
his personal appearance. I. The Atlantic is
the, only power on earth I know that can
make d woman Indifferent TO her personal

1t is the emphatic claim of every Dem
ocrat who supports Greeley that the en-
tire body of that party will vote for him,
They'll insist that the fierce opposition
said to exist in Democratic ranks against
him is nowhere to be found except in the
minds of the supporters Of Grant. And
yet here is reliable report from one
county in this State, from a person who
must be accepted as good authority. Mr..
Merrill, editor of the Prairie du Chen
Courier, in announcing his unalterable de
termination not to support Greeley says
In the first place we know there are
over FIVE hundred Of our readers in the
County of Crawford alone, who do not
wish to vote for Greeley. They are true
Democrats-have stood by us many years
-ani now we intend to stand by them.

Important to the Veterans OF the Re
beliiOn.

The numerous bounty laws passed by
! Congress have been the subjects of consid-
cradle misun0erStandin to settle which
the Second Auditor, French. of the Treas.
ury Department, has made the following
statement and decision:
| All volunteers vino enlisted for three
years prior to Ju y 22d, 1861, and were
mustered into service for three years be-
| tore August 9th, 1861, are entitled to s
| 90 bounty, if they have been honorab' y
| discharged and lave not received the
| same for such service. Those enlisted
and mustered as above, who were dis
charged lor promotion, as not entitled to
| bounty, as such discharge is not mus
ter out of service, as is contemplated by
general order No. 10, 1861, under which
! the contract was made. Where such SOL
.liers have died since discharge, the re-
cs Mt law makes no provision for bounty
to i,eirs. Such as were discharged by
reaso, rs of wounds, and heirs of such as
were ,;lled or died in the service, have
already had bounty granted under other
acts, and take nothing under thls.-Sol
diers who have received bounty under
the act of JL ly2S. HlS66. cannot receive
bounty under his In consequence OF the
restrictions conta.i ned in the first named
act. Where an application for bounty
under the dcision o. the Supreme Court
has been filed, no new application is ne
cessary unless called for ny this office:
On the Sd of May, 1866, the President
it will be recolected, issued a proclama-
ton calling for AZ, O34 volunteers for three
years. On the 4th Of May, SOL, Gener'
al Orders No l5 we're issued. providing
for an organization of those voluL teers IN
to forty regiments and promising q boun-
ty of, 500 in addition to travel p'y to
his home to each enlisted man when .'on-
orably discharged from the service. LIE
promise was only made the volunteers
called for IN the President S proclamation,
but as eighty-two regiments were offered
and accepted before the passage of the
law of July 22. 1861, the enlisted men of
which were alike cquitably entitled to
the bounty, Congress passed an act April
%. 1872, to place those enlIsting for three
years before July %. 1861, upon the
same footing as to bounty.
