The Emblematic Eagle.

The Etruscans were the first who
adopted the eagle as the symbol of
royal power, and bore its image as a
standard at the head of their armies.
From the tune of Marius it was the
principal emblem of the Roman Repub-
lie, and the only standard of the legions.
It was represented with outspread
wings, and was usually of silver, till the
time of Adrian, who made it Of gold.
The double-heaeded eagle was in use
among the Byzantine emperors, to indi-
cate, it is said, their claim to the empire
both Of the East and the West: it was
adopted in the fourteenth century by
the German Emperors and afterwards
appeared on the arms of Russia. The
arms of Prussia are distinguished
by the black eagle, and those of Poland
bore the white. The white-headed
eagle is the emblematic device of the
United States Of America, is the badge
OF the order of the Cincinnati, and is
figured on coins. Napoleon adopted
the eagle as the emblem of imperial
France; it was not, however, represent
ed in heraldic style, but in its natural
form, with the thunder bolts of Jupiter.
It was disused under the Bourbons,
but was restored by decree Of Louis
Napoleon (January /, 1852).-Apple-

The school for girls lately established
by the third wife of the Khedive of
Egypt, which is one of the grea est in
novations the country of Pharoahs has
ever seen, is turning out grand sue

in a thickly peopled locality, near the
dancing de1vishes, erected around it q
quadrangle of spacious buildings, hand
ed them over to the education depart
ment, but she defrays the whole

only four months there were 2O6 board

slaves. They discard the Oriental veil
and are dressed in frocks, pinafores
and shoes in the English fashion; and
they sit, not squatting on the ground,
but at desks.

A Sickly Autumn Predicted.

The peculiar condition of the atmos-
phere inclines many physicians to the
opinion that the Autumn will be
particularly unhealthy, owing to
the heavy and almost contin-
uous rainfall for weeks past. It
will serve to cause an earlier decay of
vegetation than usual; and this will pro-
3uce malaria. Unless We shall have
better weather than can reasonably be
expected, we will have severe fevers
this Autumn. Where persons are COM
PEELED to remain in town, care should
be taken that the houses are dried by
the use Of fires. and flannel under-gar-
ments should be freely used. Care
should be taken as to diet, but here nc

tastes and habits of persons entering Ia

Story About King David.
From the Cornhill Magazine.

r rom Tie COrnn1u magazine.
There is a touching passage in the
Book of Psalms passage which few
sincere Christians can read without
tears-in which David, who has been
lately suffering some serious distress,
prays to be saved from the lions mouth,
" for" says he, "Thou hast heard me
from the horns of the uniforms. 4
Now, here the difficulty, of course, lies
in the unexpected introduction of the
unicorns. Adam Clarke satisfies him.
self with saying that the Psalmist al
ludes to the Gentiles. Not so Rab
Hunah in the Midrash Tehillim. who
thus explains the passage literally
without recourse to allegorical exege-
Sis: When David was feeding sheep
he found enc day unicorn feeding in
the desert. He took him for a high
hill, and ascending, pastured his flock.
Tne beast after while awoke, arose,
and David, rising with him, touched
the heavens with his hand. Then
said the son of Jesse in this unexpected
emergency. eff the Lord will help me
down from this unicorn, I will build
Him house of hundred cubits-the
size of this animals horn" Some say
that he measured it's width, others it's
length. Plenary agreement on any
subject in this world seems impossible.
What occurred? A lion came. The
unicorn crouched in fear aud David de-
scended. Then he became anxious
about the lion, and it was on this oc-
casion or soon after it that the affecting
lines above alluded to were composed.

ton resulting from this steady work, is
much more, in the course of years
labor. than the majority of farmers are
aware Of. What practical plowman has
not noticed the varying cut of an ordi-
nary two horse pillow, which throws the
pulverlzed soil to the right, and requires
that the lead horse shall walk on the
unplowed land
Let this same plowman take a left
hand pillow, where the lead horse will
necessarily walk in the furrow cut the
preceding round, and the other horse
at a regulated distance to his right on
the firm soil, and he will soon discover
the difference in the uniformitJ width
Of cut and depth of cut, as we'll as the
less fatigued condition in which it
leaves the muscles when the DAYS work
is done. The difference is simply this,
that while q left hand pillow, intended to
cut fourteen inches in width, will surn
that amount Of soil regularly the full
length of each furrow, and to the full
depth which is expected, the right hand
pillow from the unavoidable results of
not having the lead horse in the furrow,
will be making cut of various widths,
and consequently various depths, MAX
ing cnt of from four to fourteen inches
vide, and in many instances leaving
unturned several inches of soil to the
right hand of the plowshare. Now,
these difficulties cannot be avoided ex.
cept by the use of a left-hand piow,
and two-horse left-hand pillow will pot
meet the economy view of the matter.
Two acres of ordinary soil are regarded
as fair days work for good plowman
with two good horses, while the same
individual will with ease turn over
three acres of ground. This is a clear
gain each day of one-half the piowman's
wages, to say nothing of the increase of
cultivation resulting from uniformity of
depth and width of the blowing done.
That economy is the mother of wealth,
is as certain as That prodigality is the
forerunner of want. It is not necessary
to say any more. The farmer will see
the point and take to using three
horse left-hand plow.-Farmaer' Home

CONSOLIDATED CosI.v

The London Times of July 81 has h G
following: "The problem of the utili-
zatlon OF coal dust has occupied atten-
ton Tor some years past, and it has
been solved in various ways and with
varying success. The most recent prac-
tical attempt is that now being made
by the London and Provincial Con-
solldated Coal Company, whose works
at blythe lane, Hammersmith, were in
spected yesterday afternoon by party
OF engineers and other scientific gentle
men. The process of utilization as there
carried out is very simple, and, SO far
as at present proved, very effective.
The company buy up the small coal
screenings from the numerous coal
depots at the railway stations in and
about the metropolis. The agglutiniz-
ing mixture consists of pitch and
tar, which are melted together in
heater with plaster of Paris farina
potato starch). The iquifed ingredi-
ents are transferred in boiling state to
the head of a trough, in which an Arch
imedean screw, or creeper, works. The
coal and liquid tar, &C., are fed into
the trough in certain proportions, and,
having been well mixed by the screw in
the trough, are delivered into hopper
at the tail-end. The hopper is placed
over circular revolving holding
table, in which are eight molds ar
ranged in pairs of two. AS the ma
terial is fed into one pair of molds it is
carried round to the die, where the COM
pound receives compression by hydrau-
lie apparatus, the table in its revolution

Livery stage. They are thence removed
to the stacks and air-dried, two hours
suficing to render them hard and fit for
removal and use. The proportions en-
ployed are one ton of coal oninety
pounds of pitch, three gallons of tar,
five pounds Of farina, and five pounds
of plaster of Paris. The molds meas
ure 9 inches long by Al inches deep, and
A inches wide, and the bricks come out
the same length and width, but only q
inches deep. They are strong enough
when dried to bear considerable knock
ing about without breaking, and the
stated advantages over other fuels Of
this class are that they contain less
pitch. and that no water is used in their
manufacture, giving ultimately better
| class Of fuel. This fuel has been tried
by the Thames Steaming Company, and
at the India Stores Ill the Belvedere
Road, and in both cases is reported
| upon favorable. The works were start
ed toward the close Of last year, and the
products appear to have found favor
during the winter as domestic fuel, es-
peciaIly in poor districts, on account of
its cheapness and heating qualities.
The works turn out about ten tons per
day of ten hours, and there is brisk
demand for the fuel, which it is antici-
pated will lead to an extension of it's
manufacture. At any rate, so far as
present experience serves, the consoE-
dated coal appears to offer another
means of prolonging our coal supply by
utilizing the waste of It's production"

Fall Flowing.


Now that the season for fall blowing

to suggest to our readers that there are

Vegetable Beafsteaks.

Among the more remarkable esculents
of this class may be mentioned the
:" beafsteak fungus. It is very juicy
and feshy, and it's sections resemble
beat in appearance. A botanist found
lately one of five feet in circumference,
and Weighing exactly eight pounds; and
another was found nearly twenty feet in
circumference, and weighing thirty
pounds. This species is particularly
found in Germany, where it is sliced
and eaten with salad, and it is highly
esteemed as nutritious food. An
other species when young is of cream
like consistency, and is an excellent ad-
d1tion to the breakfast menu. A single
cue is large enough to feed ten or
twelve persons, ana some members of
the species are good substitute for
trufies. A specimen lately found
weighed ten pounds, and was three
feet four inches in circumference.

Slowly, sadly, toll the bell;
Fondly loving, yet toe well:
Born of Heaven, and passed to He'll
So it's thought;
Fair as lily of the field.
Breath as pure as roses yield.
Love to bless, and home to shield
All for naught,
view the mour1iers as they tread,
Faltering steps and dropping head;
Parents of the fallen dead
That is all:
Never do their faces raise,
Yet they feel the curious gaze,
As they think upon the days
Since the fall.
They, of all the world slone
Knew the poer hearts piteous moan,
Heard the agony of tone
In her prayer:
And alone they wend their way;
lis their child, though led astray,-
Once the households JOY, so gay
and so fair.
Watch that face like bloodless clay
At the silent close of day,
As the cherished form they lay
Down with care:
Can mothers love e'er pale?
As she looks beyond the veil,
From those white lips hear the wall
Of despair!
Then the dull sound of the sod;
Then the holy man of God-
"Tis the Fathers chast'ning rod;'
Then the prayer;
Once again that paliid face
Seeks her IDOLS resting place,
And, with prayer for strength and grace,
Leaves her there.
