The "Jet of Sand"

The new mechanical agent, the
"jet of sand" has yet only exhibit
ed fraction of its possible applica-
tions. The latest adaptation its in.
ventor has succeeded in developing
into practical efficiency is to a pecu-
liar process of replacing the art of
wood cutting. The new experiments
conducted in this direction in Ameri-
ca have promise of success. The
process consists of bringing upon a
suitable matrix Photographic copy
of the drawing or engraving which
it is desired to reproduce. This is
then passed beneath the sand-blast,
and the cutting thus obtained
This is finally subjected to the elec-
trotyping process, and any desired

of marbles and other stones for orna-

venient distance.

How Emigration is Filling Up
the Western States.

| The contrast of few years in some of
the Western States in rapidity of settle.
ment is quite interesting. For instance,
( three years ago, at principal land Of
flee in Nebraska, there had been, up to
January, 1868, but 2,s6O entries, 1,197
pre-emptors, and 1868 homesteaders.
In the ensuing months, the number
of both classes was doubled, reaching
1856. Since 1865 more than $4,000 per-
sons filed claims for land at this single
Office, and there are four other offices in
the State.
Within eighteen months there have
been taken up of railroad lands in
Southern Nebraska, along one railroad
only, Isl, ,26l acres, by I,OS4 purchasers.
And along the Union Pacific railroad
4Sl, 900 acres have been sold in two
years. This might be called the poor
mans country; for, with credit of ten
years for payment of land, and interest
of but per cent, with crops of grass
abundant to feed all cattle, corn and
wheat at the rate of . to so bushels per
acre, one need not work so very hard to
obtain the mere necessaries of life. 1t is
only the luxuries which he cannot get,
and does not want.

School DAYS of Chas. Dickens.

California, that haven of wanderers
from all parts of the globe, numbers
amongst its present naturalized citizens
a former schoolmate of Charles Dickens,
who, writing from Napa to the Sancell-
to Herald, has partially controverted
the lately popular idea of the great nov
| elist's i'll treatment in childhood. Re
ferring to that excerpt from Fosters bl-
ography which, under caption of "Ihe
| Terrible Secret in Dickens History,
has made the tour Of American Journal
ism, that new and apparently competent
commentator remarks: al see story
going the rounds of the newspapers TO
the effect that Charles Dickens was the
prototype OF his own David CoPperheld'
who was starved and otherwise mall
treated in his youth. have the best
of reasons for believing that this is all
sentimental exaggeration, and from
these facts Dickens and were school
mates about the year 1880, in Hunter
street, Brunswick square, London, and
his family lived in Campton street. He
was good student, and before leaving
attained the position of first boy-a high
distinction, and by the infeXible rules
to be attained only through eminent
merits. Each branch of learning with
US had six classes, and over one hun
dred and forty pupils were arranged in
the school according to grade, each boy
having 'ledger account Therefore, to
be first boy student had to be first in
the first class in every branch taught in
the school, comprising the languages,
mathematics, Euclid, and all the ordin-
arv studies of full English education.
A lad in circumstances to become such
scholar could not have been very un-
fortunately situated in life. Dickens
was robust youth, and his brothers
were at the school afterward with my
brothers. The starvation business is all
nonsense, or we must have heard of it.
After he had become famous, he used to
preside at our long-continued annual
pupils dinner to opr old master, DIR.

duct the school,"

Our Sun.

Professor Young, of Dartmouth
College, whose position as a seien-
tific authority has been acknowl-
edged in England as well as at
home, has recently been delivering
a lecture on the sun, which puts that
subject in a powerful light, if we
may use the term. He records an
explosion occurring, not long since,
on the surface of the sun, which
sent portions of matter to hight of
at least 100000 miles. With re-
gard to the distance of the sun from
the earth, it is now fixed at between
91,OOO,OOO and 80, 100000 of miles,
with a margin of uncertainty con-
sisting of about 100000 miles. 1t
will be seen, therefore, that the as
tronomers have cut off between
three and four millions of the dis
tance which most of US used to ac-
cept in our school-boy days. How
ever, they probably think they have
left sufficient now, for Professor
Young says that if our Puritan
Fathers had set out from the sun
at the same time they did from En-
gland, and had travelled uninter-
ruptedly by rail or otherwise, at the
rate of forty miles an hour, they
would be due here in 1888. Again,
if sound throughout the solar sys-
tenn should have the same velocity
that it has in our atmosphere, the
noise of an explosion on the suns
surface would be fourteen years in
reaching the earth's surface.
Gravity becomes so increased at
the sun that bodies would weigh
twenty-eight times as much there as
here, SO that an earthly lady of one
hundred pounds weight would be-
come as unwieldy there as an ele-
phant.

Gen. Grant Personally.

Washington Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal
But your correspondent begs to
refer to the President merely as a
typical head of his party, and not
the individual representative of any
fraud, or job, or corruption. He has
always entertained the belief of the
Presidents personal integrity, and
states furthermore that an investiga-
tion into his pecuniary affairs COR
roborateS that belief. He does this
specifically to justify his opinion, to
do justice to a political adversary,
and also to correct an erroneous i'm
preston. The President has been
and is possessed of this property,
viz: 100000, donated to him by
the merchants of New York a
house in Philadelphia, SAC, 900, rent
ed now at s2,400 per year; $40
acres of land near st. Louis, pur-
chased with all tho improvements,
at less than $4,000; one fourth of
120 acres Of land situated near Chi
cago, $1,000; $4,000 stock in a
Michigan iron company; his Long
Branch residence, 100000, and q
small amount in Adams Express and
railroad shares. The bulk of this
property was obtained through the
gifts made to him by the New York
merchants before ho was elected
President, the real estate presented
to him in Philadelphia and in Wash
ington, and his purchase of the st.
Louis estate from his brother in
law. 1t is not improper to state
more specifically that the Presidents
income, outside of his salary as
President, is about $4,000 per year.
L make these statements because it
has been charged by Mr.. Wendell
Phillips that Gen. Grant was worth
500, 900 or $500, 900, and because
am satisfied that statement is un-
true. Perhaps it should be added to
this that Gen. Grant is anything
but an extravagant man personally,
and the story is told.
