worthy young man, who hoped soon to
make her his bride, but slandcr's enycno-
med tongue nlisoacd her reputation, and
caused her lover t. cancel their engage
mcnt She, suffering unjustly from the
cruel blow, lost her reason, and would have
been carried an incurable patient to the

coincidence, he laid the hairs ado the line

the end Of each hair pointed to u different

the prisoner that his friends were on the

Many persons see corhS used daily with
out knowing from whence come those use
full Materials. Corks are cut from large
slabs of the cork tree, a species of oak,
which grows wild in :hr southern countries
IN Europe. The tree is stripped of its bark
at about sixteen years old but before strip
ping it of, the tree is not cut down. as in
the case Of the oak. 1t is taken while the
tree is growing, and the operation may be
repeated every eight or nine years; the
quality OF the bark continuing each time to
improve as the age of the tree increases
When the bark is taken off, it is singcd in
the flames Of IL strong fire, and after being
soaked for = considerable time in water it
is placed under heavy weight in order to
render it straight. Its extreme lightncss,
the ease with which it can be compressed
and It's elasticity, are properties so peculiar
to the substance, that no cfcctual substi-
tutc for it has been discovered. The yalu
able properties of cork were known to the
Greeks and Romans, who employed it for
all purposes for which it is used at present,
with the exception Of stopplcs. The am
clients mostly used cement for stopping the
mouths of bott,,s or vessels. The Egypt
ians are sad to have made collins of cork,
which being spread on the inside with res
nous substance, preserved dead bodies from
decay. In modern times, cork was not gen
orally used for stopplrs to bottles till about
the seventeenth century. cement being used
for that purpose.

Petroleum is so abundant in tho Penn

Wells that once would have brought $780,

A Hint to the Poners That Be.

Sundays Memphis ADDeGL has the fol-
lowing article, which may, perhaps, be
worth the attention Of the railroad man.
ayers here: "The recent change in the
schedule Of the Memphis portion Of the
Nashville, Louisville and Great Southern
road is one of considerable importance as
affects our interests. The advantages to us
are stated in the letter of our Huntingdon
correspondent as follows: Persons can now
60 from Milan or Humboldt to Memphis
transact their business and return the same
day. Passengers bound for Nashville can
leave Memphis late in the afternoon (about
five o'clock ald arrive at Nashville the next
morning to breakfast. This is very cOnven-
lent. Persons gOingtO Bon Aqua or Kingston
Springs can leave Memphis about fye,
O'Clock in the afternoon and arrive at the
Springs in time for breakfast, making the
trip very pleasant during the summer
months. II the Northwestern road would
run a train from Nashville 10 connect with
the night train for Memphis, it would be
an admirable arrangement. That train
might leave Nashville at five O'Clock in the
evening and arrive at Memphis at twenty
five minutes past eight the next morning.
If the arrangement here suggested can be
made it will greatly increase the travel be-
tween Memphis aud Nashville. A Mem
phis or Nashville man can leave home at
five in the afternoon, go to the other city
by next morning, spend the day and return
home TO breakfast the next morning. Can
not Mr.. Flynn, to whom our correspondent
alludes in such complimentary terms,
affect this arrangement with the enterpris-
ing and public-spirited managers of the
Northwestern rOad?"

the city's accessibility and outlets, the
kind and value Of property procurable for
headquarters and the terms upon which it
could be purchased.
Mayor Howell was requested to furnish
the specific information last indicated by
Col. Shankland, and having complied will
report the result to-day.
The paper read by DR.. Jones was ordered
to be handed to the Executive Committee
OF the National Grange, and the Nashville
papers, with the request that it be pub
lished.
Sub committees were appointed to pre-
pare reports On various matters connected
with the location, to be submitted to the
Executive Committee Of the National
Grange.
The committee then adjourned.
During the afternoon the visitors, accom-
panied by a number Of gentlemen, went to
the Methodist Book Concern, and were
shown through that immense establish
ment. They called on Gov. Porter during
the evening. To-day they will visit the
Cotton Exchange and other points of inter-
est. They will remain in the city two or
three days, or until they perfectly compre-
bend its advantages and disadvantages in
connection with their mission and how it
compares with other places.
