Paper and Its Uses.

The st. Louis Democrat asks the
question "What becomes of all the

and then says : We put our Commits
missioner of Statistics at work upon
this problem, and the following state
ment contains the result of his investi-
cations The world contains about
1 300, 900, 600 of human beings, and of
these $50, 900, 600 have no knowledge of
printing materials; 500, 900, 900, those
of Monaghan extraction, use a paper
prepared from leaves and plants TO-

tralians, use wooden tablets 100, 000,-
G06 of Persians, Hindoos, Arm enians,
Syrians, etc., use paper made of cot
ton about 800, 0000 use the common
article of paper made of rags, straw,
etc. The average consumption for each
individual of this last number is six
pounds per annum, making a total of
], 800, 600, 900 pounds. The rate of pro-
gress of journalism, the book trsde, and
the intellectual advancement of the
paper-consuming people of the earth,
may be estimated from the fact that
within the last fifty years the annual
per capita consumption of paper has
increased from two and one-half to six
pounds. The material for this vast
quantity of paper is drawn from varie-
ty of sources, there being consumed in
its manufacture about 200, 000,00
pounds of wooden rags, 100000, 600
pounds of cotton rags, besides vast
quantity of linen rags, straw, wood and
other material. In order to convert
this material into paper, there are used
$4,000, 900 pounds of chemicals, starch,
gums, oils, etc., and $500, 900, 900
pounds of coal Then there are 3, $50
paper-mills, representing capital of
altogether about 5000, 100000. These
mills give employment to about 10000

written to his memOry."l
On the bosom of a river
Where the sun Embossed his q1river
And the starlight cleaned forever,
Sailed vessel light and free
Morning dew drops hung like mama
On the bright folds of her banner,
And the zephyrs ruse to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea.
At her PROV pilot beaming
In the flush Of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming
Like an angel from above.
Through his hair the breezes spOrted,
And as on the wave he hOated,
Oft that pilot, angel thrOated,
Warblcd lays Of hope and love,
Through those locks so bHthely flowing,
Buds Of laurel bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing,
Music from a Tyre Of gold.
Swiftly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple wave divided,
And rainbow arch abided
On his canvas, snowy fold.
Anxious hearts with fond devotion
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Prayed that never wild commOtion
Mid the elements might rise.
And he seemed like some Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water hag's carolla
Trembled to his music signs.
But those purple waves enchanted,
Rolled beside city haunted
BY an awful spell that daanted
livery conner to the shore.
Night shades rank the air encountered,
And the pale marble statue numbered
Where the lotus eaters slumbered.
And awOke to life no more.
Then there rushed with lightning duickness
Ger his face a mortal sickness
And the dew in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temples fair.
And there swept dying murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer,
As the beaUteous pilot conner,
Persisted by that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river.
And the sun uuwinds his CULVER.
And the sunlight streams forever
On It's bosom as before.
But the vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna,
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple wave no more.

BURGLAR-PRoOF SCREw.-A screw,
adapted to fastening locks, has been in
vented. 1t has a right-hand wooden
thread at the head-end, and smaller left
hand iron thread on the other end, or
Uice Uer8a-the latter being supplied
with a nut. An effort to remove it from
one side by unscrewing at the head
only tightens the nut, while an attempt
to drive out the screw on the other side,
after taking off the nut, is resisted by
the wooden thread.

WORTH KNowING.-It is said that
glycerine mixed with the water in steam
engine boilers prevents the deposition
of lime salts, and consequently protects
the boiler from incrustion. About one
pound of glycerine to every 300 or 400
bounds of coal burnt is sufficient for
this purpose.

In the closing scenes of her life Laura
Keene is said to have been so morbidly
sensitive to the loss of the beauty of
her youth that she desired that no
friends should be permitted to gaze on
her face after her death, and left direc-

private, and no notice of her death be
sent to the newspapers until just before
her funeral, and that her theatrical &C
quaintances especially might not know
of her death until she had been buried.

Where Nickel Comes From.

Many people are not aware that the
nickel from which our smaller coins are
made comes from a single mine, which
is the only one in the country that is
being worked. This mine is situated
in Lancaster county, Pa. 1t
has been worked for seventeen years,
and developed to a depth of over two
hundred feet. The length of this lode
is between two and three Thousand feet,
and it produces from two hundred to
six hundred tons per month, employing
in the working of the mine force of
one hundred and seventy-fve men. In
the arts nickel is rapidly coming into
favor as a substitute for silver in plat
ing iron and other metals. Its COM
mercial demand is rapidly increasing,
and, as it is much cheaper than silver,
it will undoubtedly be adopted in the
manufacture of many articles as
substitute for that more precious
metal. One mine, the Mine-Ia- Motto
tract, Missouri, was worked from 1850
to 1855. The ore was the sulphuret,
associated with lead and copper. About
100000 was realized from the crop
pings of the vein. Groupings of nickel
ore are found also in Madison, Iron,
and Wayne counties, Mo. The refined
metal is worth three dollars per pound

The Nashville Banner of Thursday,
says "Rumors to the effect that Mr..
Vanderbilt had made an additional do
nation OF 800, 900 In aid OF the Wander
bilt university have been in circulation
in Nashville for two days past, but we
have RETAINED from publishing said
rumors until the truth thereof could be
established. The amount of this dona-
ton has been reported at sums ranging
from $50, 900 to 100000. The board OF
trust held two sessions yesterday and
one last evening. At the morning ses,
sion the secretary of the board, Dir. A.
Young, read communication from Mr..
Vanderbilt, donating the sum of $780,,
600 to be used as building fund.- in
order that the university may be COM
pleted In accordance with the plans
and specifications for said buildings,
which have heretofore been approved
by him. The gift is made on condition
that no portion of the money is to be
used in getting the university under
way, but Is to be expended exclusively
on buildings, adding materially TO their
architectural beauty and attractiveness,
which fact will be doubly appreciated
by the citizens of Nashville especially,
aud the Vanderbilt university will
thus be made one of the handsomest
and most complete educational institu-
tons on the continent"

members, and the production and

articles consumed.
1t is probable that similar organiza-

ship will become the test of loyalty to

Two Russian guns and carriages,
trophies of the Crimean war, have been
received at the royal arsenal, Woolwich,
having been returned from Colchester,
where they have stood as public monu
ments for about seventeen years. 1t
has been notified that several other
trophies of similar character have
been given up by the Local authorities
of other towns, and that they are on
their way to Woolwich, where they
will be broken up. They are very few
Russian guns to be seen in the royal
arsenal, Woolwich, and these are, gen.
orally speaking, only such as are re-
markable for some popularity, one for
instance, having a cannon ball from q
British gun lodged in the muzzle and
jammed fast. The sentiment which
Induces country corporations to return
their trophies out OF compliment to the
duchess of Edinburg will, we hope, en-
dure, but it is doubtful.
