The recent abstraction of $3.50
from the United States Treasury has
brought to notice the fact that Treasurer
Spinner gives a bond of $3.50, 900. Our
County Tax Collector, County Court
Clerk and Trustee each gives more bond
than that. The Secretary of the Treas
ury gives no bond at all. 1t is the integ-
rity of the official after all, and not the
bond, that usually secures the public.

A MAN in Stewart county, Georgia, had
a presentiment Of a fearful cyclone, and
was so impressed with the idea that he
dug q deep hole in the ground near his
house. The neighbors sat on the fence
laughing at him and whiting sticks
just as the neighbors of Noah did over
four thousand years ago when he spent
one hundred and twenty years building
an ark. But the day after the hole was
finished by the Georgian the storm did
come, and it swept away his house and
all the rest of the houses in that vicin-
ity, killing many persons. he and his
family HE'D themselves to the providen-
tial hole and escaped without Injury.
Now every man in that region is building
a dry cistern in his yard.

The Iron Grown of Lombardy is so
called from narrow band of iron within
it, said to have been beaten out of one of
the mills used at the Crucifxion. This
band is about three-eighths of an inch
broad and one-tenth of ON inch in thick
ness. According to tradition, the nail
was first given TO Constantine by his
mother, who discovered the cross. The
outer 'oirolet OF the Drown is OF beaten
gold ond set with precious stones. It
was preserved with great care at Mona,
near Milan, md Napoleon, like his pre-.
decessor Charlemagne, was crowned with
1t. After the war between Austria and
Italy, the Iron Grown was delivered by
the former power to Victor Emmanuel.

When we pass to the contemplation of
our departed heroes, there nre two whose
names are already enrolled on tho high
est tablets of fame, who appear as pre-
eminent for their virtue as for their
valor, for their moral and religious
worth rs for their martial fame. No
people can exhibit higher types of cha
racter than those Of Stonewall jackson
and Robert E. Lee. Jackson was en-
phatically tho hero Of our struggle-be-
loved and admired by all. His military
genius was only equalled by the un-
bounded confidence of the army in his
invincibility. He was taken from us in
the very noon-duy blaze of his glory
triumphant and victorious in his last
flank movement. His brilliant, although
short, career has impressed his followers
and the world with the power and the
grandeur OF genius when guided by
strong religious principles. He was
spared the last test to which the great
Lee was subjected. It was the fate of
Lee to survive the shock of battle; and
after furnishing us mn example Of what
is due by the soldier, when overpowcred
and crushed, to his afflicted country, he
has left us a character pure, exalted and
grand, to be loved, admired and revered.
I will not speak on this occasion Of his
genius as, o great captain, but prefer to
ailude to him in his still greater character

Rome Walking at Sea by NJ. Blondin.

Being q passenger on board the P. and o.
CompaIy's steamer Poonah, in her passage
between Alden and Gale, NJ. Blondin, on the
afternoon of the 10Th of October last, under
took to walk on the tight-rope in seaway.
Nor was the distance small one, for the
Poonah sipce her late alterations, is the
longest vessel in the P. and O. service, being
43l feet long, over all, and NJ. Blondin pro-
posed to walk from the main to the mlZen-
mast and back. Accordingly, stout Finch
hawser was made fast to the mizentop. and
hauled taut by the steam-winch on deck.
Laternal motion was prevented, as far as posi-
BILE. by guys made fast to the sides of the ship,
but the motion of the vessel herself could not
be avoided, and che chief difficulty was the
long, slow, confused swell, which, at the
change of the monsoon, seems In those seas
to come from different quarters at once.
When NJ. Blondin stood in the maintop,
pole in hand, he hesitated long enough with
one foot on the rope to make many people
think he had repented. The task was one to
try even his nerves. The mizentop is of course
lower than the main, and the steadying guys
had pulled the rope down in the center, so
that he had to start down rather sharp in
cline. Then NJ. 3londin is accustomed to
guide and steady himself by fixing his eyes
on the rope about twenty feet ahead of HIM;
but what with the rolling Of the ship and the
vibration of the powerful engines-the ship
was then running between twelve and thirteen
knots-the rope he had now to walk on was
drawn into such sinuous waves, that he de-
scribed it as looking more like snake than
rope.
Before he had gone five yards he was forced
to sit down to steady himself, and avoid two
or three rollers, which came in succession.
He rose on one leg, and it was worth much
to see the great muscles on the outside of his
thigh spring into bold relief as they lifted
him and his heavy pole. Twice again he sat
down, and then reached the mizenmast, amid
hearty applause, and that kind OF sigh which
marks the relief of crowd from anxiety.
This part of his journey was made more
difficult by the sun being directly in his eyes.
His return was quick and easy till he had
passed over about three.fourths OF the dis
lance, when the swell caught the ship, and he
had to stop and sway from side to side, till he
seemed quite out Of the perpendicular, the
real fact being that the masts and funnel. by
which the eye was guided, were themselves
out of the perpendicular.
The pole waved violently, and once or twice
appeared to be held almost straight up and
down. and much anxiety was felt not only by
the pa sengers, but by Captain Angove and
the officers of the ship. NJ. Blondin never
lost his nerve, but coolly waiting till the
troublesome rollers had passed, walked on,
and reached the mainmast in safety. He
saws that his task was most difficult one,
and that he could not have gone through any
of his usual performances on rope such as
that. Captain Angoye, who had eased down
the engines, and skillfully varied the course
of the Ship from tine to time, so as to keep

AN UNpAgIoT1c PARAGRAPH. The Philadel-

of the man who designed the great seal OF

try to make people believe full-g1own buffalo
bull would deliberately rush up to granger

is not by any means the most remarkable OF
the devices employed for that purpose. Geor-
gia offers something more astonishing in a
picture of an absurd summer-house sup

Continental soldier with weak legs; and Ken
