A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

VAULT THAT TRAVELS AB0UT-GETTING UP
IN THE MORNING AND GOING TO BED.
The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise gives tbs
following comic sketch OF curious me-
chsnicsl invention: The fre-proof vault in
our cousr house, in which are kept the
book, records and all OF the public docu-
ments, is vault the like OF which is to be
seen nowhere else in the world. 1t was
planned and built by ex-County Commits
sioner Andrew Fraser. Mr.. Fraser was the
leading spirit in the late able board of
county commissioners in planning and
perfecting the many improvements that
have been made in all the county
buildings during the past year. He is chief
engineer of the Gould & Curry Mining Com
psny, and ia a most skillful machinist and
ingenious mechanic. The county was sadly
In need of a large, fire-proof vault in which

mining records and the many valuable
documents of all kinds. Mr.. Frsser's mind
bcgan TO run on vaults, and, after studying
all OF the vaults that had ever been built or
invented, he hit upon a vault unlike any
ever seen or heard Ola new invention, in
fact-for which he has secured patent.
His vault consists OF two or three parts,
which travel about, which are sometimes
separated and sometimes united. OF nights

DR.. Field, Of the Evangelist. In the end the
competition in the higher branches will
not be open to students in the midst of
their course-which it will distract-but
only to those who have taken their degree.
Meanwhile let our wealthy and generous

LONGING.
BY ANNA c. BRAcKErr.

From the Harper's Mazagine for February
would were an unknown rose
Close shut in leaves of green
So shut that none had ever guessed
The color hidden In its breast
By blush of pink between.
Then when your face but turned my way,
AS now, the crumpled sheen
Ofcrimson hid so safe away
Would stir the livelong summer day,
Within, unheard, unseen;
But, when your footstep nearer drew,
Would burst the green apart,
And petals glowing In the sun
Would chronicle to every one
The new life atmy heart.
And tally sweet of all the leagues
You passed of sea or shore
The clasping calyx still should .hold;
For every one, there would unfold
One velvet petal more.
So when at last, no space between,
Your own from stem you broke,
And in your hand my perfect grace
Perchance you lifted TO your lace,
Although no word you spoke
All, then, indeed, the petals all
Down on the dewy sward might fan
Before you as you went;
Might lind for them the way more sweet,
Then were all content.
For so methinks the one lost word
That mocks my various quest
Might uttered be, though never heard,
And that were Rest!

COLLEGE CONTESTS.

SHALL THEIR SCOPE OF SUBJECTS BE Ex-
PANDED-A LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
M'CosH, OF PRINCETON COLLEGE.
The question of intercollegiate contests
has been agitated until it Is claiming the at
ton of the ablest minds of the country.
President McCosh contributes his views
upon the subject to the New York Evening
Post, as follows: 1 am exceedingly glad TO
find that the scheme of an inter-cOlle-
giate competition has taken step in ad-
vance. expect that in a short time it will
supply the one want of the American col
leges by furnishing means of elevating the
scholarship of America and making it equal
to that of Europe. 1 further hope that it
will enable these numerous American col
legeS to come to such an understanding and
compact that they will not drag down but
pull up each other. rejoice to find that in
January next there is to be competition in
two such high branches as Greek and
mathematics. A good beginning, l
say, but not an adequate conclusion. Let il
be observed that so long as the competition
is confined to these two branches it viii not
furnish stimulus TO all the colleges; it GER
tsinly will net hold out incentive to all
the able students in the colleges. venture
to assert that every. college joining in the
union will not be able to preparess student
IN mathematics or Greek during the coming
year to appear worthily in the competition.
OF this I am sure-that in all, or
nearly all, the colleges there will
b able, scholarly young men ready
and anxious to enter the lists. if not for
classics or mathematics, for other higher
branches. In every college joining in the con-
test, as indeed in every high class college in
the world, mental philosophy and physics are
taught and have a very important place al
lotted TO them. Why should not these two
be added in the trial of next year? know
that such an expansion would interest Q
a wider range of students, and call forth a
larger number OF scholarly youths
PAINTING TO JOIN IN THE RACE.
II il be said the difficulty is a want OF funds,
then let the friends of the mental and phys
ical sciences supply the means. For myself
I am willing to take charge OF any funds
that may be contributed for the encourage
ment of philosophy and morals. Possibly
for the department of physics. If it be
objected that there may be diff
Guilty in finding competent examiner in

Yale and Harvard have not seen fit to Join in
the competition; and L name the president
of Yale, the vlce-presideDt of Harvard, and
the professor of moral philosophy in Har-
ward as certain, any one of them, to secure
the confidence of all the colleges. Since /
am writing, at any rate let me suggest that
the whole movement should be treated for
the pr sent as a promising experiment. Let
us go on for year or two in the way we are

house. The principal parts are the vault
proper, which is down in the basemeat-we
might say down in the ground. This is Q
massive brick structure. the only entrances
to which resembles the top OF very large
chimney. Then we have the bookcase, in
which are placed the books and documents,
case which not only holds all of the BOOKS
and documents at present in the keeping of
the county, but which is large enough TO hold
all that will ba accumulated for many
years to come. Next we have the cover of
the vault, that part which covers the CHM
ney-like opening at its top. At night the
bookcase is down in the vault where il in

This arouses the bookcase. II gets ND and

post on the second floor There il stands

ing its big hat to cover the hole bv

all night in its hole down in the ground
By very simple arrangement of clock-work
this bookcase could be made to open up
shop itself-getting up at the proper hour in
the morning and going up to the Offices with
its tons OF books and documents, remaining
on duty all day, and then at a certain hour
in the evening suddenly making its bow and
descending TO the basement, there to shut
itself up in its hole. All this it might be
easily made to do, so that no man need ever
look alter it or think OF it. All that would
be required would be small pipe from one
Of the water-mains, and a simple bit of
clock work TO keep the time and to let on
and shut of the water. This additional
mechanism has been thought of by Mr..
Fraser, and is included in his patent, bat
for economical reasons was not put in here,
the county commissioners thinking it quite
rs well for the jsnitor TO run the apparatus
by means Of crank. Even as it stands the
vault is really a wonderful invention, yet in
simplicity itself.

BLOOD DISEASES.

The blood being the source fIom which our
systems are built up, and from which we derive
our mental as well as physical capabilities, how
important that 1t should be kept pure. II it
contains vile fostering poisons all organic func-
lions are weakened thereby. Settling upon i'm
portant organs, as the lungs, liver or kidneys,
the effect is most disastrous. Hence it behooves
every one to keep their blood in a perfectly
healthy condition, and more especially does
this apply at this particular season of the year
than at any other. No matter what the ex-
citing cause may be, the real cause of a large
proportion of all diseases is bad blood. Now
DIR. Pierce does not wish to place his Golden
Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack
patent nostrums by recommending ii to cure
every disease, nor does he so recommend it. On
the contrary there are hundreds of diseases
that he Acknowledges it will not cure: ouJwhat
he does claim is this, that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure, and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it TO
be the most searching blood cleanser yet dis
covered, and tina it will free the blood and sys-
tenn Of all other known blood poisons, be they
animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden Dis
covery is warranted by him TO cure the worst
forms OF skin diseases, as all forms Of blotches,
pimples and eruptions, also all glandular swell
l1ngs, and the worst form of scrofulous and ul-
cerated sores of neck legs other parts, and all
scrofulous diseases Of the bones, white swell
hngs, fever sores, hip joint and spinal diseases,
all of which belongs to scrofulous diseases.
CONFERENCE.-THE JOINT DISEASE CURED.
w. GROVE STATION, la, July IA, 1872.
DIR. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
DEAR SIR: My wife first became lame nine years
ago. Swellings would appear and disappear on
her hip, and she was gradually becoming
duced, and her whole system rotten with dis
ease. In 1871 swelling broke on her hip, dis
charging large quantities, and since that time
there are several openings. Have had five &C.
tors, at an expense of SIPS, who say nothing will
do any good but surgical operation.
July Ii, 1879, he writes thus: My wife has GER
tsinly received a great benefit from the use of
your Discovery, for she was not able to get off
the bed and was not expected to live week
when she commenced using it, a year ago. She
las been doing most OF her work for over six
months. Has used twenty bottles, and still
using it. Her recovery is considered as almost
miracle, and we attribute it all to the use of
your valuable medicine l can cheerfully rec
ommend it as a blood purifier and strength re-
