A Palace Of Silence.

Away up on the hill that overlooks
Naples stands the Carthusian monastery
of San Martino. The monks who once
inhabited the glorious palace-for it is
nothing less-were men of noble birth
and vast fortune. The church is now
one of the most magnificent in Italy
Agate, jasper, lapislazuli, amethyst,
Egg plain granite and fossil wood, toge-
ther with marble of every tint, are so
blended in mosaics that line the whole
edi6ce, and the carvings are so rich and
graceful that the interiors of some of the
chapels seem like Eden bowers transfix-
ed by maracle and frozen into stone
And IN this spot lived brotherhood
who came from the first circles of socie-
ty and buried themselves in this gorgeous
tomb, for it was little else. The monks
took vow of perpetual silence, lived
apart, ate apart, and met only for the
unsocial hours of paryer, when each was
one uttered a syllable. Each of the lit
tie cells where they slept had a small
window or closet, communicating with
one Of the corridors, and in this closet
was placed the frugal meal which was
then taken into the cell and eaten in
solitude. Every quarter of an hour a
bell struck, TO remind the listeners that
they were SO much nearer to their death.
In the garden the railings are ornament
ed with marble skulls, and the only
sounds that used to disturb this splendid
solitude were the tread of sandaled feet,
the rustic of long, white robes, or the
clang Of the bell that tolled off their
solemn lives in brief moments, that yet
might have seemed long to them. These
monks, like most others in Italy, have
been driven from their retreat, and all
their treasures confscated by Victor
Emmanuel.

Keeping Fruit.

A startling experiment, which, if sue
cessful, will revolutionize the peach
business, is to be made in Middletown
the coming summer. A gentleman from
New York. H. Riker, Esq, who has
had large experience in the shipment, in
cold air tanks, of meat, from Texas to
New York and Liverpool, proposed at a
coat of $4,000 to erect mammoth
peach storehonse upon the same plan,
keeping the temperature at one degree
above the freezing point, and claims
that he can keep the fruit, by means of
this cold air current, for any length of
time, from one day to six months. Ma
ny of the growers have engaged to meet
him half way, and the erection of the
necessary buildings will be commenced
Immediately, and be completed bysthe
10th of August. The object of the
storage will be to hold the fruit until q
good price can be obtained, and then
ship to desired points. II is claimed
that in smaller fruit and pears the ex-
pertinent has proved very successful, and
the projectors of the enterprise are san.

Three States.

From the Pittsburgh Telegraph.
1t is noticeable that such States as
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio do
not invite any fresh accessions to their
population. The newspapers in these
States do not solicit immigration; there
are no colonization societies in them; no
rose-colored circulars are issued from
them, no bureaus exist in them for the
sole purpose of promoting additions to
their population. The South and the
Far West constantly unfold their packs
and spread their Plittering wares before
the world. These sections never weary
of parading their charms. Their en-
chanting scenery, their matchless eli
mate, the fertility of their soil. their ex-
haustless resources in minerals-this
story has become very familiar to the
American ear. Yet we doubt whether
there are to-day any sections in the
Union which combine so many advan-
tages and which are in all respects so
desirable for business and residence as
| tIO bOtdlCb vi ANCW AOkh
and Ohio. They are not devasted by
the storms so common in the far West
and South. They are not subject TO the
deadly epidemics that keep the grave
yards rich in the South. They are not
! frequently visited by the droughts which
aff1ict the West. The extremes of heat
and cold are not so seriously felt in these
States. The soil in them is fertile, and
admits of a variety of productions
| They have immense advantages of rail
and water communication. They have
been settled long enough to have firm
social culture and steady administration
| of law. In these States there is yet land
that can be obtained at fair prices and
which is adapted to profitable farming,
and there are abundant opportunities
for other than agricultural pursuits
They are not over-populated, and cannot
be for half century to come. We
would cay to those who have little cap
ital and who mediate Southern or West
ern migration to study up New York,
Pennsylvania or Ohio, first. If any field
for enterprise opens mp within either OF
these States, it would be better to select
that field than be enticed to regions
whose attractions largely exist on paper.
Take your gazetteers, mars, etc.,
and make yourself familiar with the
grand region you live in, ere yon follow
the ignis fatuus that beckons to Florida
swamps, or the wild goose that leads his
squadrons to the lakes of Minnesota.

Want of knowledge About the North
Pole.
From the London Times |

At present there lies within few
weeks of rs, and right between us and
inhabited continents, a circle ], 400 miles
across, of which We know not even whe-
ther it be land or water, or in what re-
spects it is affected by some conditions
wholly different from our own. is it
anything more than a great refrigerator
for the production of cold-that is, for
the absorption of heat? If water pre-
ponderates there, then the cold need not
be SO extreme as we imagine; and just
as the equator is not everywhere hotter
than the tropics, just as the Eastern
hemisphere is warmer by ten degrees
of north latitude than the Western and
the Northern hemisphere very much
warmer than the Southern, so even the
Arctic circle may have the benefit of
some genial influences. It has at least
half year of continuous day. What
if it be found sufficiently habitable for
the establishment of stations in which
the production and economy ofheat will
be the only serious difficulty? Science
is sanguine, but il confesses itself to be
hoping against hope as to the matter of
its expectations. An animal or two,
seeds that can stand any cold, some of
the lowest forms of vegetable life, and
perhaps organisms, in the sea, the posi-
bic revelations of an atmosphere com-
pletely clear of aqueous disturbance,
figure prominently in the catalogue of
hope. If, as is suspected, there be in
gradients in the earth's atmosphere too
subtle for chemical analysis, the spect-
roscope may detect them in region
where humidity no longer embarrasses
the question. Then what is the Aurora?
meteoric? Is it cosmic? Does it reveal
a universal medium? Is it a magnetic
phenomenon? At about the seventieth
degree of latitude the expedition will
reach the other side of the Magnetic
Pole, and will have to steer by rules the
contrary of our own, and becoming more
and more complex till the needle points
finally to the center of the earth. AT
the Pole not only the compass, but even
the sun, moon and stars will cease to be
available for the usual purposes of oh
servation; that is, if anything should
happen to the chronometers, for all will
then depend on the preservation of
Greenwich time. The forlorn hope told
off for the Pole will have to mark its
track very carefully if it would be sure
of retracing its CO rse back again.

McKillop, Sprague & Co., of New
York, have received reports Of the har-
vest prospects from several points in
Southern and Western States. From
Arkansas the reports are that about az
much cotton was planted as last year,
but about one-third more grain. In all
cases the promise is that the crop of
breadstuffs will he large and of excel
lent quality. In Mississippi the fruit
crop will be failure, but the conditiop
and prospects of corn and cotton are
very good. In Texas the corn and cot
ton will be good but late. The Louisi-
ana reports indicate an increase in the
area of cane, corn and rice cultivation,
and the condition of crops there in gen.
eral is above the average. The most
dishearten;ng reports are those from Ne
braska and Colorado, which are yet in
fected by the grasshoppers. in Colora-
do half crop may be raised, but not
enough for food for the inhabitants. In
Nebraska, except n strip of country
south of the Platte river and along the
Missouri river about ten miles in extent
in which there will be no small grain OF
any account. the reports are generally
otherwise favorable.

already dangerous monopoly, and the

people without any eompensating ad
vantage, and that we oppose TO this poll
cy the demand that ali the National
bank circulation be promptly and per-
manently retired and legal-tenders be

Tenth-That the public interest de-

should make its legal-tenders receivable
for all public dues. except where respect
for the obligation of contracts requires
payment in coin, and that we favor the

directly by and upon the faith of the
General Government.
Twelfth-A tariff for the sole purpose
of revenue.
Thirteenth-We favor the complete
separation of Church and State, relig
! ious, independent and absolute freedom
of opinion, equal and exact Justice to
all religious societies, and purely secu-
lar education at the expense of the tax
payer, without division among or con-
troll by any sect, directly or indirectly,
of any portion of the public school
| fund. In view of the admirable pro-
visions of our State Constitution upon
these snhjtcts, which are due TO the en-
ergy and wisdom of the Democratic
party, we denounce the Republican
platform as an insult to the intelligence
of the people of Ohio, and base ap-
peal to sectarian prejudices.
Fourieen-That we are opposed to
the passage of what are called sump-
tuary laws, or any interference with the
social habits or customs not in them
selves criminal, and We reprobate any
espionage by one class of citizens upon
another, under any pretense whatever.
With this declaration of principles
and policy we arraign the leaders of the
Republican party for their extravagant
expenditure and profligate waste Of the
peoples money; for their oppressive un-
just and defective system of finance al d
taxation; for their continued tyranny
and cruelty to the Southern States of
the Union; for their squandering Of the
public lands; for their continuance OF
incompetent and corrupt men in Office,
at home and abroad, al d for their gem
eral mismanagement of the Govern
ment; and we cordially invite all men,
without regard to past party associa-
tions, to cooperate with us in expelling
them from power and in securing such
an administration of public affairs as
characterized the purer and better days
of the Republic.

The Recovery OF the Safe of the
Man-Of-War Cumberland, with
$4,000 i'm Gold.

lFrom the Washington Republican, June II.
NORFOLK, June IA, 1875.
The iron safe lately taken from the
wreck of the Inflated United States
man-of-war Cumberland, run into and
sunk by the Confederate ram Merrimac
in Hampton Roads in 1861, is now on
exhibition in this city. It is an old
fashioned concern, square, about the
size of a common size tea-chest, and
built of cast iron.- When found it was
feet of mud on a deck next to the one on
which it stood when the ship went down.
Rust had eaten through it in several
places, and there is an opening on it's
side about three inches wide, caused,
it is supposed, by the explosion Of
torpedo. 1t is said that through this
opening a shower of nearly $4,000 in
gold coin marked the track of its ascent
from the wreck to the schooner. None
Of it of course can ever be recovered, as
the water there is nearly hundred feet
deep, and the tide very swift. The par
ties who have the safe are silent in re-
gard to its contents, and are not likely to
tell the amount of its treasure, but it is
confidently believed that their banking
account has been increased about $4,000
in gold. Fully this amount has been
expended in the various vain endeavors
to 6nd it before these parties undertook
the job. One company alone, at the
head of which was Ex-Governor Gilbert
C. Walker, is known to have sunk S25,-
900 in the fruitless enterprise. It is
known now that those who formerly
searched for this money were many
times either standing on the very spot,
or very near it, and, had they known it,
could have easily put their hands on j..
The deck around it had been shattered.
and the safe itself been partly blown op-
en- by torpedoes being exploded beside
it.
While Captain Brown was searching
for the spot where he supposed the safe
to be, he stumbled against what he sup-
posed to be log of wood, but what he
subsequently was Mortified to frd was
the CHASTITY remains of man, hardened
and petrifed into stone, standing solid
and erect, lonely sentinel. watching, as
it were, the treasures of the deep, sur
rounded by the bones of his lost COM
rades, who died with him whilst vainly
and nobly battling for the preservation
of their good and beloved old ship. 1t
was when endeavoring to raise this
strange object out of its grave of mud
he found the safe. which was immediate
ly taken up and brought to Norfolk.
