New Invention.

Captain Scribe Harris, Of Dubudue
Iowa, has recently perfected an in
vention which may prove of inest-
Unable value to shippers generally.
The plan provides for the construc-
ton of air tight, iron monitors, to be
built with breadth of beam equal
to fifty feet. They are to be pear
chapel, the form of the vessel to be
divided into hold for the storage
of coal and fuel, a lower deck.room
for stores, a second deck for living
rooms, aud a turret above for an OPP
Grating room. The monitor stations
shall be securely anchored in the
ocean at fifty mile intervals, between
the United States and the English
coast, and connected by ocean cable.
The advantages to be derived are
briefly: /. The assurance to vessels
of a safe anchoring. 2. The ability
to send messages at sea. 3. The
advantage to the signal corps, 4.
Places of refuge IN cases of wreck
and burning. 5. The advantage to
ocean telegraphy, The stations TO

VAMPIRES.
Revival In Europe of an Old and Horrible su.
perstitiOn.

This queer fancy has been reviv-
ed in Europe. 1t is one of the
strangest superstitions that ever ex-
listed, and is that q buried man or
woman, with it's life still conscious,
rises from its grave by night and
sucks the life blood of its nearest re-.
latives; and, what is worse than this
every person bitten by tho vampire
also become vampire. and is for
ever doomed TO follow this dreadful
vocation. 1t is now many years
since anything has been heard OF the
superstition, but two or three law
suits recently decided in Prussia
show that it is not dead. One of
these has just come TO close, after
two years of wrangling. On the 9th
Of February, 1870, Polish noble
man of the name ofPoboloki, died in
Western Prussia. A short time af-
forwards the oldest son died also.
Immediately afterward four members
of the family were taken sicN, and,
upon consultation together they de-
cided that their father was the YAM
pire engaged in drinking their blood.
One of them therefore determined to
apply aremedy, which was to behead
the corpse, and place its mouth
downward. This he succeeded in
doing by bribing the undertaken.
Subsequently, however, the latter
informed the village clergyman, and
the son of Poboloki was arrested for
Decorating his fathers grave.
On the trial it was also sho wn that
the bl cd had been removed from
the body, and that the various mem"
bers of the family drank it. After
two years wrangling the case was
dismissed on the ground that no
harm had been done, and that the
accused thought they were acting in
self defense. Since that time, three
or four more cases OF a similar ma
ture have been tried, ending in &C
quittal also. To crush out this hor-
rible superstition, it will yet become
necessary for Germany to pass a
law against cannibalisn-which, Of
itself, is a striking comment on nine
teonth century civilization.

The original of this was pasted o
the walls Of a Swiss inn. The follow
ing is full translation which it
hoped may prove useful TO many G
our readers:
In Genesis the world was made
In Exodus tn march Is told;
Leviticus contains the law;
Ia Numbers are the tribes enrolled,
In Deuteronomy again,
We're urged TO keep Gods law alone;
Andthese i've books Of Moses make
The Oldest writings that are known.
Brave JOsus TO Canaan leads;
in Judges ofthe Jews rebel;
We read Of Dayid's name in Ruth
And First aud Second Samuel.
In First and Second Kings we read
How bad the Hebrew state became,
In FIRST and Second Chronicles
Another history Of the same.
In Ezra captive Jews return,
And Nemehiah builds the wall
Queen Esther saves her race from death
These books Historical" we call,
In Job we read Of patti ent faith
The Psalms and Davids songs of praise;
The Proverbs are to make US wise;
Eceesastes next POrtrays,
How heetiug earthly pleasures are,
The Song of Solomon Is all
About the love of Christ; and these
Five books Devotional" we call,
Isaiah tells Of Christ TO come;
While Jeremiah tells of woe;
And in his lamentations mourns
The Holy Cty's overthrow.
Ezekiel speaks of mysteries;
And Daniel fore tells kings Of old;
Hosea calls men to repent,
Joes blessings are foretold.
Amos tells Of wrath; and Edom
obediahs sent to warn;
w lille Jonah shows that Christ should die
And Michae where he should be born
In Nahum Nlnevah ia seen;
In Habbakkuk Dhaidea's guilt;
In Zephaniah Judah's aims;
In Haggai the Temples built
Zacharah speaks OF Christ:
Ia Malachi Of John, his sign;
The prophets number seventeen;
And all the books are thirty -nine.
Matt hew, Mark and Luke and John
Tell what Christ did every place;
Acts show what the Apostles did,
And Romans show we're saved by grace.
Corinthians instruct the Church;
Galatians shows faith alone;
Ephesans truelovs; and in
philippians Gods grace Is shown.
Collossiaus tells more Of Christ,
And Thessaonians OF the end:
In Timothy and Titus both
Are rules for patrons TO attend:
Philemon Christian friendship shows;
Then Hebrews clearly tells how all
The Jewish law prehgured Christ;
And these Epistles are by Paul.
James shows that faith by work must live
And Peter urges stea dfastn ess,
While John exhorts to Christian love.
For those who have II God will bless.
Jude shows the end of evil men;
And Revelation tells of heaven;
This ends the whole New Testament
And all tine books are twenty seven.

The English system of self-nomination, as well as of our caucus system, has its inceiveniences. It is all very well for a prominent liberal or tory in any given borough to give out that he will stand for Parliament, but most districts can fur nish more than any 'gentlemanin each party who arrives at the same conclusion,
 and who, having once announced it, IS utterly unable to see why he should with draw more than one else, to avert dlscord
 and defeat. The recent liberal defeats Tn Greenwich and Dundee are owing entirely to multiplicity of liberal candidates.
 There is no tribunal in England, even of rough and uncertain character, like our caucus, by which the claims of conflict ing aspirants in the same party can be harmonized Henry Labouchere, a well known Parliament man and journalist, who was recently defeated by this very means
