HORACE GREELEY AS A PROPHET
In an article written by Horace Greeley
on the "Crystal Palace and its Lessons"
and published in 1853, we were much
struck by the following sentences $50 we
Americans of the nineteenth century will
be found in due time to have inscribed our
selves most legibly, though all unconsci-
ously on the earth's unfading records, how
or in what, time alone can tell. Perhaps a
railroad over the rocky miuntains, tele-
graph across the Atlantic, a towering OBJ
servatory wherein all the calms and
storms at any point prevailing within the
earth's atmosphere shall be portrayed on
a common dial plate, and the storms which
will take place at any point during the
next day or the next week, with their SOW
eral directions and neutrality-suspicious.
something very different from any Of
these" What wonderful presciencc
this short paragraph exhibits ! The three
great achievements then uninterrupted,
have been completed. The railroad,
the telegraph and the Signal Service
corps are ;hc realization Of these dreams.

SATURDAY. MARCH 1, 1873.

A TRIUMPH OF MODERN ENGINEER-
ING.-The great suspension bridge built
over the Niagara river at a hight of
nearly two hundred and sixty feet above
the water, and supported by towers upon
each bank, the centers of which are 500
feet apart-has proved one of the most
satisfactory successes in modern engin-
eering science. The question of its safety
having short time ago been agitated, a
critical investigation of its actual condi-
ton was accordingly made by a company
of engineers, and the effect of twenty
years wear and exposure has been accu-
rately determined.
In the examination thus made, the caps
on the towers covering the cables were
removed, and the cables found to be as
perfect in all respect as ever they were.
But most interesting and important of all
was the result which attended thorough
inspection of the anchorage of the cables.
The masonry over one of them was re-
moved for about twelve feet, or below
where the wires are attached to the anch-
or chains. A portion of the cable is i'm
bedded in water lime cement. For twen-
ty years this has been so, yet on remov-
ing it and rubbing the paint off the wires,
the latter were found as bright and per-
feet as when placed there, the cement
having preserved the wire and anchor
chains intact.

BURYING ALIVE. "A Paris paper chal-
lenges the world to produce one authentic
case where person has ever been buried
alive. 1t adds that such stories are all
bosh. Notwithstanding the above, we
are inclined to believe that persons have,
not unfrequently, been consigned to the
grave before life was extinct, though the
number Of cases in which this has been
done are probably very much fewer than
is generally supposed.
A German physician recommends that
whenever there is any doubt in regard to
life having departed, that string should
be tied tightly round finger or a limb of
the person supposed to be dead, when, if
life is absolutely extinct no change what
ever will take place, but if there is the
slightest vitality remaining, the flesh
above the string will become blush red,
being surcharged with blood, carried to
it by the arteries, and which the string
prevents the veins returning to the heart.

THE COBBLER'S SECRET.

A waggish cobbler once in Rome,
Put forth proclamation
That hod be willing to disclose,
For due consideration,
A secret which the cobbling world
Could i'll afford to lose
The way to mako in one short day,
A hundred pairs of shoes.
From every quarter to the sight
There ran thousand follows
Tanners, cobblers, bootmen, shoemen,
jolly leather sellors-
All redolent of beef and smoke.
And cobbler's wax and hides;
Each follow pays his thirty pence,
And calls it cheap besides.
Silcnco The cobbler enters
And casts around his eyes,
Then curls his lips the rogue l. thon
frowns,
And then looks wondrous wise;
My friends" he says, it's simple quito,
Tho plan that propose;
And every man of you, think,
Might learn it if you chose.
A good sharp knife is all you Mood
In carrying out my plan;
So easy is it mono can fail,
Let him bo child or man.
TO make hundred pairs of shoes,
just go back to your shops,
And take hundred pairs OF boots
And cut off all the tops ~
