The National Centennial.

A special correspondent at Philadel- phia has furnished the Herold with the plan which will probably be adopted for the celebration, in the city of the great Declaration, of the one hundredth anniversary of the day of independence of the United States of America. The scheme embraces four clements music, civil societies, military organizations and statues. The music will consist of colossal orchestra and chorus, the or ganization of which will soon be placed in the hands of one of our most worthy conductors. The military division, it is proposed, shall embrace regiment or two from every State, forming an ag- gregate of at least fifty thousand men. The civil bodies will be the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the Cincinnati Society, or groups of distinguished men of the several States in the civil and military service of the country and in science to the military branch of the celebra- tion it is proposed to solicit an act from Congress authorizing the President to extend invitations to the heads of Flu ropean, Asiatic, and other foreign gov ally or by their proper representatives, accompanied, respectively, by regi- ment or smaller military detachment of their selection. In addition to this, the President will be requested to detail to the spot considerable bodyof the regu- lar army, and place it under the com mand of his most distinguished officers, and also as many vessels of the navy as practicable.

4 Paper Church:

There is paper church actually ex- isting near Berlin, which can contain nearly one thousand persons. It is cir
 cular within, octagona1 without. The relieves outside, and the statues within, the roof, the ceiling, the Corinthian capitals, are all of papier-mache, ren- dered waterproof by saturation in vitriol, lime water, whey, and white of egg. We have not yet reached this audacity in our use of paper but it should hardly suprise us, inasmuch as we employ the same material in private houses, in steamboats, and in some public buildings, instead of carved decorations and plaster cornices. When Frederick the Second of Prussia set up limited papier-mache manufactory at Berlin, in 1766, he thought the paper cathedrals might, within 8 century, spring out of his snuff-boxes by the slight-of- of advancing art. At present, we confess to a prediction for substantial brick and stone in the mat ter of churches. But there isno saying what we may come to. It is not very long since it would have seemed as i'm possible to cover eighteen acres of ground with grass as to erect a pagoda of soap-bubbles, yet the thing is done. When we think of a psalm sung by one thousand voices pealing through an edifice made of old rags, and the uni versal element bound down to carry messages with the spreed of light, it would be presumptuous to say what can and what cannot be achieved by science and art, under the training of steady old Time.

Good Style of Hazing.

The New Bedford Mercury tells the following wonderful tale of college ha- zing It occurred, if we remember correctly, in 1862. It was noticed by some sophomores that two country boys had begun their housekeeping in a room on the ground floor of one of the college halls, with 8 miserable apology for bed, no carpet, no table, and only
 two chairs as the sum total of their out fit. It was learned, alsu, that they pro- posed to board themselves, and had only few dollars for their food during the term. On this hint they acted.
 One night the poor, trembling youths were summoned by soph, who was not over courteous, to go to room up stairs. Up stairs they went, pale and trembling, expecting to be dealt with without mercy. They were detained there an hour or so, not being nolest- ed, but only quizzed by the circle of ssophs' in the room. Then they were dismissed to their own room. When they entered it it was over a nice new carpet. There was tasteful bedstead and appurtenances, a study table, chairs, lamp, bookcase, stove, etc., and in closet they found provisions for seve- ral days. This was hazing to blessed purpose. We fear that the example stands almostor quite alone" .

An Icelandic Festival.

The Cologne QGzette says Ice land has in contemplation next year to celebrate the thousandth year since the settlement of the island, (574.) As early as 860 Dean named Gardar was drift ed from Scotland in stormy weather northward to an unknown coast. He wintered in the country, and called it Gardarsholm. Shortly thereafter a Norwegian, Nadod, was also dr1fted there. In 86S the island was visited by another Norwegian, F'loke, who remain ed for year there, and called it Island Ingolf, driven into exile on account of cruelties perpetrated by the Norwegian King Hagar Haarsager, proceeded in STA with his brother to Iceland, and there founded the earliest settle ments. These were near the place where Reikj javik, the capital of the isl- and, now stands. Others followed the two brothers, and the island was soon inhabited. From Iceland, Greenland, as is known, was discovered, and from it hardy Morse seamen, about the year 1000, reached that part of the coast of the American Continent now forming Massachusetts. It is, consequently, not without some historical justification that the celebrated Norwegian violinist, Ole Bull, has been collecting subscrip- tions at concerts among his countrymen to erect monument to the Norwegian, Lief Erikson, the first discoverer of America, as the latter touched American ground from 400 to 800 years before Columbus, and there are indications that the Genoese was not only acquaint- ed with the voyages of the old Morse sailors to America, but that they were not without influence on his plan and it's execution.

Theatrical Adventures.

An interviewer represents Miss Neil son as saying: ..;... .,.. -..--.. '.
 ssI remember once playing in Dub lin. It was in Juliet. In the death scene, when I seized the dagger and stabbed myself, an excited Irishman in the pit, overcome with sympathy and terror, shrieked, Oh, Jim, she's done it. I was so convulsed with laughter that could only get up giggle for the death struggle. And again I was play ing Pauline in the Lady of Lyons, with weak Claude. He had been sick and was not strong, so I told him when I rushed to him I would clasp my arms around him, and he must give way @ little. I flew to his embrace and he gave way indeed, and down to the floor we both went together entangled in my train. We gathered ourselves up as best we could, and caught him again with fervor, and the audience tried to stife their laughter, when Claude's next words brought down the house, 'This the heaviest blow of all ? Of course we had the laugh out then. But the most awkward accident happened to me once in provincial theatre, where the scenic arrangements were meagre. We had a kitchen for the ballroom, and the tomb was set in the midst of the garden shrubbery. I said, that will never do. Bring me some drapery, and will shut off the shrubbery.' So I was mounted on the top of the tomb, engaged in pin ming up the improvised partition, when up went the curtain, and Juliet, who should have been quietly sleeping with the Capulets, was caught in this. very practical employment.'' ..: +,.H

The Mound Builders.

The work of the mound builders in the Vicinity of Vincennes, Ind, is be- ing investigated at the present time un- der the direction of Profs. Charlton, Townsend, and others. The explora- tion of the largest one was begun by making an entrance from the top which is to be carried down probably about sixty feet. A local paper says: At ten feet below the surface bed of charcoal was found, and below this there were
 remains of bones, which were almost completely decomposed, indicating their great antiquity. As soon as touched they fell into dust. Perhaps at a greater depth bones may be ex- humed which are better preserved. The earth in the mound is found to be exceedingly compact and dry, well cal culated to preserve the bones, but they are in state of almost complete decay. This is proof of great age, as human skeletons have been taken from burial places in England which were much less favorable for preserving them, and yet they were known to be nearly two thou sand years old. The crumbling and decayed bones that were exhumed from the mound no doubt belonged to the old To1tic race which inhabited this To- ca1ity about three thousand years ago ; and it is hoped that some well-preserv- ed bones and other remains represent ing that ancient race may be exhumed from this mound. , --... ...

The Dome of. the Capitol.

The dome of the capitol at Washing ton is the most ambitious structure in America. It is 109 feet higher than the Washington Monument in Baltimore, 68 feet higher than Bunker Hill Monu- ment, and 23 feet higher than the Trin- ity Church Tower in New York. It is the only considerable. dome of iron in the world. It is vast hollow sphere of iron, weighing 8,0O0,000, 1000 pounds. How much is that ]? About 4,000 tons, or weight of about 10000 full grown persons, or about equal to Q thousand loaded coal cars, which, holding four tons each, would reach two miles and a half.
 Directly over your head is figure in bronze, "America," weighing 14,985 pounds. The pressure of the iron dome upon its piers and pillars, is 12,477 pounds to thasquare foot. St. Peter presses nearly 10000 pounds more to the square foot, and St. Genevieve, at Paris, 66,O0O pounds more. It would require, to crush the supporters of our dome, pressure of 557, 7,270 pounds to the square foot. The cost was about $1, ,OO0, ,OOO. The new wings cost $6,- 5OO,OOO. This. architect has a plan for rebuilding the old central part of the capitol and enlarging the park, which will cost about $3, 200, ,000. .... "a.

A Modern Martyr.

When, only @ few weeks ago, the cholera was raging in the slums of Ber- lin, young physician, scarcely pasthis thirtieth year, made himself remarked by the boldness and persistency with which he entered the infected quarter, and the apparent recklessness with which he exposed himself to the con- tagion. It is worth while that his name should be recorded and well remem- bered; it was Otto Obermeir. He had another object in view besides that of relieving and, if possible, curing, the poor creatures whom he visited; he pro- posed to himself to investigate, in the presence of the living pestilence itself, it's causes and it's development. At last, the brave young soul thought that he had discovered the clue; and, with a heroism as far above the heroism of the battlefield as it is nobler to sacrifice ones self to save men than to destroy them, he resolved to test his discovery upon himself. +--
 ?" It was an awful experiment. Ober- meir knew full well that he staked his life against the hope of conquering the tients some of the deadly choleraic SC4A1os AO WC41O HIS room, placed table with pencil and paper at his bedside, lay calmly down upon the bed, opened vein in his arm, and inserted the deadly poison. He thought he had discovered how to neu- tralize it; if so, man was master of the pestilence forever more. But he was wrong, and the error was fatal. He1ived seven hours, and then died; but during those seven dying hours the young hero observed, with, scientific exactness, the effects and progress of the disease upon him, and one after another he noted his observations down, until within the very half-hour when the spirit left the body. These notes are pronounced to have the highest value, and will serve the commission with new facts of the first importance; and so the dying legacy of Otto Obermeir may, after all, lead to the victory which he condemned himself to self destruction in trying to achieve. +t .-.r

A Romance of Milwaukee.

Says the Milwaukee NeaOs s' local. , A young lady and gentleman were standing upon the bulkhead erected by the c. & N. w. Railway on the Lake shore opposite the Wisconsin street depot lately. The waves ran high and looked truly beautiful in their terrific grandeur. The lady had remarked this to her companion, who, thinking he could improve upon it, began reciting
 "What are the Wild Waves Saying
 He soon found out, for just at this mo- ment huge white cap dashed over the parapet and pouring barrel or two of water on each, effectually banished all the romance of the situation in twink ling. The young man finished his quo tation with series of highly improper remarks as he mopped his new tile D with handkerchief and there was 8 look of hearty disgust on the radiant face of that fair maiden as she gazed on the limpsy wreck of her once lovely hat.

An African Horse Trade.

MT. Gerard, now of Philadelphia, but formerly American Consul at Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, communi cates to the Press of the former city the following reminiscence of his Afri- can consular experience
 "There is very singular custom among the farmers-how to get wife. If you desire to get married, you should first make inquiry whether the lady you love has a horse if so, you must ask her whether she has horse for sale. If she says Mo- then you had better quit the house at once. She does not like you. But if, on the con- trary, she says, Yes,' it is good sign, but she will ask you very high price. If the amount named is paid on the spot, the engagement is concluded, as fully as if marriage was consummated by the parson. ...-....i- ..
 con my arrival at the Cape, I did not know of this custon. I wanted to purchase horse, and I was informed by an old Dutch resident that Widow
 = had one to sell. I followed the address given, and soon arrived at the door of the widow (who, by the way, was net bad-looking). l asked her whether she had horse to sell. She looked at me very sharp then she ask
 ed me whether had some letters of in- troduction. I said that was the Amer ican Consul, and would pay cash for her horse. In this case,', said she, letters are not necessary paid down the sum demanded then, after taking a cup of coffee, she sent her horse by her groom, and both accom- panied me home. On the road, the groom asked me thousand questions. Master, said he, twill my mistress go live with you in town, or will you come live with us? You will love my mis- tress, for she was very kind to my old master Qaughing). Where will the wedding be?' Hooking at me and laughlng). Truly I thought, the poor fellow has drank too much or he is an imbecile.' I felt sorry for him. When I arrived home I found many people at my door congratulating me, not for the horse, but for the acquaint- ance of the widow. I really did not know what it ment, and I began to be very uneasy, when, to my very great surprise, lady alighted on my steps, and at once recognized the widow l! She very coolly asked me when I desir- ed the ceremony of the wedding per formed. Then, indeed, I fully per ceived the scrape in which I was, and I told her frankly that it was horse I wanted, and not wife. What said she, do you mean to act thus to lady like me? If so, I shall send back for my horse, and will repay you the money In few hours her groom was at my door with the money. gladly gave back the horse, thankful to have thus escaped. A few weeks after, how ever, the widow was married more ambitious man had bought her horse."

Neuralgia--HOrrible Suffering.

Thirty years ago, there used to be a great deal of discussion whether neural gia was a new disease, or only new name for, an old disease. If it had ex- isted any considerable length of time before then, it certainly, about that time, became much more common.
 Old people in the Middle and Eastern States, who had never in their lives heard of such thing, were suddenly attacked, and for years suffered the most excrutiating torture. The pain was intermittent in some cases occur ring at regular, and in others at ire gular intervals.
 But the disease was more prevalent among the young-and we think more among females than males.. Very pos sibly the reason why women were more subject to it was to be found in the in- feriority, in point of warmth, in their clothing. The late Dr. Jackson, of Philadelphia-aoquired good deal of celebrity for his success in treating neuralgia. Young ladies from remote parts of the country repaired to Phila- delphia to consult him and the first thing that he prescribed for them, gene rally, was warmer shoes and stockings and more clothing, and by this simple remedy numerous cases were relieved.
 But others were more obstinate, and in fact the proportion has always been large of those in which medical skill has been entirely bafded, and nothing that could be devised appeared to do any good; and there are men, and women now who have been, at more or less frequent periods for the past thirty years, the victims of this terrible infiction.
 The suffering from neuralgia is hor- rible and indescribable. Those subject to it say that their own imaginations are quite incapable of conceiving of such pain, at times when they are ex- empt from it. ..--.
 A girl in Boston suffered such agony from neuralgia ill one of her eyes that she had the eyeball removed. It then attacked the other eye, and her suffer- ings were so intense that she wanted that removed ;}but the surgeon refused.
 It seems almost incredible that peo- pie can undergo such suffering, and yet live on from year to year, when other causes, apparently far less adequate, in short time often result in death. - LedQe7.

Fall Shooting.

A Western paper describes the feat of a noted marksman, who while en- gagged in a deer hunt and occupying 8 stand, the rest of the party being em- ployed in drive, three fine deer, run ningl abreast, were passing his stand, when he fired, killing two of them dead and severely wounding the third. It was @ fine shot, undoubtedly, and one of which Natty Banks might have been proud. But friend of ours saw 0 better shot still, made by naval officer on the bank of the PeTdide river in Alabama. A party of navy mef, in. cluding four old Commodores, all of whom are now dead, went from the yard at Pensacola over to the Perdido on hunt. A fine pack of hounds was turned loose, and the Commodores were placed in the most eligible positions for enjoying the sport, the host, who was remarkable for his skill with gun, taking a post on one side, prepared to pick of any struggling deer that might come near him. The dogs soon gave tongue, starting several deer, but they ran wild, none of them coming near enough to either of the old sailors for a shot. Presently they saw fine buck running rap1dly Tn ulrectlon Inat would bring him within easy range of the solitary gentleman, who was trying to amuse his guests. While they were waiting, full of excitement, expecting to hear him shoot, they saw another deer coming from an opposite direction, and taking course that must bring them together near his stand. As they met he fired, and with the same rife ball killed them both, and they fell not much more than yard apart.
