WHAT FoREIGS JOURNALS Know ABOUT
AMERICA For a praiscwor,hy foreign
newspcr give us the Paris Figaro. Its
prnprictors are particular about facts,
and It's editors and correspondents are
limited to the square truth in whatever
they may write for its columns. 1t is
one of those papers which foreigner
abroad seizes upon before all others,
confident Of hearing all about what is
going on at home without exaggeration
or Misrepresentation This is the jour
nal which, few months ago, gave a
full and ungarblcd account Of the at
tack of party of Apaches upon a
railroad train in the State Of Pcnnsyl-
vania, in which tho chief walked through
the cars and selected dozen or so of
assorted scalps without hindrancc. The
Figaro was the first journal that no
ticcd it, much to the chagrin of the
New York Herald, which afterwards
sent reporter, but the Indians had
gone. In recent number it gives a
vivid account Of the operations of
party OF banditti in New Hampshire.
The members Of this band slew all
who fell into their hands by severing the
carotid artery. The soldiery one day
came upon them suddenly just as they
had begun sacking village on the
Connecticut river. The robbers fed.
but as they passed a photograph saloon
the proprietor turned the camera upon
them and had them all in twinkling
of an eye. A negative was taken, and
when proof" had been secured they
were found to be individuals we'll
known, aud holding most of them high
official position. They were arrested
and the next morning hung In the pub

ing dispensed with. We speak in be-

of them plain roads, but you will take
the plainest one and it will take you

SINGING IN THE FAMnY-We visited
the house Of friend not long ago,
where the members Of the family all
sing regularly at worship, and we could
not help wishing that the practice was
more general. 1t adds greatly to the
interest of devotional exercises, espe-
cially among children. 1t makes the
family altar pleasant place, even to
those who have not learned to render
God the service Of the heart.
Besides singing in the family circle
has good influence on the affections.
The moral influence Of vocal music. cs-
pecially music of a sanctified character
has always been happy in the extreme
1t exercises hallowcd power over the
soul, it sweeps the secret strings of vir-
tue and purity there, and sets them all
in harmonious vibration As it drove
the demon from the depravcd and wret-
ched monarch of Israel, so it will BAN
ish from the chambers Of the soul the
dark spirits Of vice and crime, and ex.
cite purer and holier feeling.
Show us the family where music,
good music, is cultivated as it ought to
be, where the children are accustomed
often to mingle their voices together in
song, and we will show you one in al
most every such instance, where peace.
and harmony, and love prevail. and
where the grosser vices have no dwell
ing.place. Indeed, we have often no
ticed that decline in the taste for mu
sic, especially sacred music, where it
had been cultivated, and decline in
purity and morality, went hand-in.hand !;
and that before the poor victim of vice
falls in the lowest abyss, he is forced to
make war with the genius of melody.
This, indeed, is just what we might an.
ticipate Music, like an angel from the
courts of Paradise. can throw around
the soul thousand heavenly influences
and charm it almost into paths of vir-
tue.

ON SrUDIEs.-Studies serve for lie
light, for ornament, and ability. Their
chief use for delight is in privateness
and retiring; for ornament, as in dis
course; and for ability, as in the judg-
ment and disposition Of business; for
expert men can execute, and perhaps
Judge of particulars one by one; but
the general counsels, and the plots and
marshaling of affairs, come best from
those that are learned. To spend too
much time in studies is sloth; to use
them too much for ornament is affecta
ton; to make judgment wholly by
their rules is the humor of scholar;
they perfect Nature, and are perfected
by experience; for natural abilities are
like natural plants, that need pruning
by study; and studies themselves do
give forth directions too much at large,
except they DO bounded in by experience.
Crafty men contemn studies, simple
men admire. and wise men use them;
for they teach not their own use; but
that is Q wisdom without them, and
above them won by observation. Read
not to contradict and confute. nor to
believe and take for granted, or to find
talk and discourse, but to weigh and
consider. Some books are to be tasted,
others to be swallowed. and some few
to be chewcd and digested; that is,
some books are to be read only in
parts, others to be read, but not Curl
ously; and some few to be read wholly,
and with diligence and attention. Some
books also may he read by deputy, and
extracts made Of them by others; but
that would be only the less important
arguments, and the meaner sort of
books; else distilled books are like
distilled waters. flashy things. Read
ing makcth full man; conference a
ready man, and writing an exact man;
and. therefore, if man write little, he
need have great memory; if he confer
little, he has need of much cunning, 10

Pottery OF THE MoUSD BUlLnrRs.-
Professor +. r. Cox read an interesting
paper on the Mound Builders of Amer
lea before the American Scientific As
ISOLATION. at Hartford, Conn, August
18th, from which we extract:
The so-callcd pottery Of the Mound
Builders resembles in many respects
that made by the Toltecs or Aztccs Of
South America and Mexico, and fur
nishes another link in the chain of ev-
idence which serves To trace these re-
markable people To common origin.
The pottery from the mounds OF In
diana is represented by a great variety
Of vessels, fashioned after quaint de-
signs and adapted Ia multitutdious
purposes. Jugs with long necks and
necks terminated by figures made 10
represent the heads of men, quadru-
peds. and birds; pots with ears and
shaped like the ordinary cast iron
dinner pot Of to-day: drinking cups:
basins Of great size, used for making
salt by solar cvapora;ion; smoking
pipes, etc.
A great many whole vessels and
fragments of this ware have been OK.
amincd Nv me from all parts of the
Western States. and have been una
he To find any evidence Of It's having
been hardened by fire. nor do | believe
that it wa; sun.cakcd. |, is composed
Of river>mud and, most generally, pull
verified fresh water shells. united in
such proportions As In make a cement
that hardcns in the air, or. when ex-
posed To moisture. like tho concrete Of
the ancient Romans, and may. conse-
quently, he classed as artificial stone
In chemical composition il agrees very
closely with the concrete made of ordi,
nary cement stones
These facts lead to the conclusion
that the art of manufacturing concrete
or artificial stone did not originate sole
" with the ancient Romans but that il
was alike understood by the earlies,
aborigincs Of America. Though il is
my opinion that the so-callcd pottery OF
the Mound Builders was fashioned by
hand without the use of lathe. yet !
am convinced that the ancient pottery
of Peru and other South American states
was largely made Of pieces formed by
pressing the cement into molds, and
these pieces were subsequently united
together to form the entire vessel. The
lines Of union are usually covered by a
band or some grotesqnc image The
numerous tuberclcs and Their raised or
which, cover the surfaces of
jugs. vases, etc, could only he formed
in this way. | do not, however, find
any pottery of the Mound Builders that
would lead to the belief that his skill
went so far as to enable him to mold it
in parts or to fashion it in any other
way than by the hands.
