HAD TO Pay.

A number of persons assembled at the
depot of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company, about $50
o'clock yesterday morning, to see Presi-
dent Grant and his party on the occasion
of their departure for Boston, Concord
and Lexington to attend the centennial
anniversary as the latter place. Presi-
dent Grant, Vice-President Wilson, Sec
Rotary Robson, of the Navy Department;
Gen. Belknap, Secretary of War; Secre-
itary Delano, Of the Interior; Ex-Gov
Jewell, Postmaster General; Gen. Bah
cock, President Grants Private Secre-
tary, and the Chief of Staff of Gov.
CASTOR, of Massachusetts,, reached the
depot a few minutes before 10 o'clock,
and not being aware of the injunction
placed upon the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company, re-
straining the officers from issuing free
passes to the Presidential party, Presi-
dent Grant, escorted by Gov. Gaston's
Chief of staff, proceeded to the door of
exit to the cars, little dreaming of an
impeachment to their progress. The
doorkeeper. pursuant to instructions
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1875-04-29

from headquarters, politely informed
them that it would be necessary to pro-
cure tickets before passing to the cars.
As the party consisted of ten persons,
the payment of $50 was unexpectedly
called for; whereupon the representative
of Gov. CASTOR manifested in plain
terms his indignation in regard to the
affair, and expressed his views in regard
to what he considered gross insult to
the chief magistrate of the nation, who
was left standing in an unenviable posi-
ton near the door of exit, while the
tickets were being obtained, probably
occupying from five to ten minutes.
Mr.. Bishop made his appearance in the
Office about the same time, and ex-
planned how he had been precluded
from extending to the Presidential party
the usual courtesies over the road.-New
York Times.

OF westerly winds the ice, though broken
up, becomes densely packed. The ice
boat is built of unusual strength. her
skin being of 7-16-in. and Lin. best
boiler plates, double riveted throughout.
her frames being of corresponding
strength. In work she is driven straight
at the ice, ON which the bow runs until
her weight breaks down large mass,
while at the same time fifty sailors roll
her to keep her free from Accommodations
OF ice on her sides, and this rolling is
kept up all the time she is under way.
She often sticks fast, nevertheless, and
has to back one hundred yards or so be-
fore she goes at the ice again with rush.
Some idea of the difficulties of this nav
igation in winter may be gathered by
the fact that while in summer the pas
sage is done by steamer in thirty min
utes, the icc-boat is often seven hours in
making it.-Engineer.

JIM FENTON ON "CUP4LOS.v

In DIR. Hollands "Story of Seven
oaks, in Scri6ner for May, Jim Fenton,
the backwoodsman, pops the question
and proposes to build hotel. In the
following passage we get at his ideas on
the subject of ornamentation
Jim's love had wrought miracle in the
night. He had said nothing about it to
his architect, but it had lifted him above
the bare utilities of house, so that he
could see the use of beauty. "Thar's
one thing" said he, I" shat thar hahn none
on us thought on; but it come to me
last night. There's a place where the
two ruffs come together that wants some
thin, an it seems to me it's cupalo-
somethin' to stan up over the whole
thing, and say to them as comes, Hal
lelujer!' We've done a good deal for
house-keepin', now let's do somethin'
for glory. It's jest like ribbon ON a
bonnet, or blow on a potato-vine. 1t
sets it off, an makes a kind O. Fourth o.
July for it. What do We say, little
woman 2"
The "ittle woman " accepted the
suggestion, and admitted that it would
at least make the building look more
like hotel

PAPER BUCKETS.

The real possibility and advantage of
the varied and extending use of paper
pulp is illustrated in the manufacture of
such things as water pals, which are now
made in large numbers of paper pulp, as
well as of wooden slaves.
In the old way of making pals the
separate parts or slaves are cut, one at
time, from the log of wood, and, in MAX
ing them, all the chips and smaller pieces
are wholly wasted, SO far as the real OBJ
ject of manufacture is concerned. In
makinga psper pail, however, the fibrous
material is wholly utilized, and if the
original stock is wood, as in part it may
be, then that which would be wasted in
chips and in flag ends is entirely saved.
Those who make paper tell us that
thus far they have barely entered on some
of their new lines of product. -.ScriJner

HISTORICAL.

The first Declaration of American In
dependence of Great Britain was made,
not by the Continental Congress, but
by the citizens of Mecklenburg county,
N c., the date being the Doth of May,
IT'S. The citizens of Mecklenburg
county are preparing to celebrate the
centennial of this action in an appro-
pirate manner at Charlotte, the county
seat. The Mecklenburg Declaration,
the author of which was Ephraim
Brevard, is described by Bancroft as q
document of singular force and gravity.
1t declared that all laws and commissions
confirmed by or derived from the au-
thority of King or Parliament were an
nullea and vacated, and that all legisla-
tive and executive powers belonged to
the provincial congresses. 1t was
drafted and adopted almost Immediately
after the news from Concord and Lex
;neton had reached North Carolina. 1t
is a curious fact that Charlotte, In which
place this first Declaration of Independ-
enoe was adopted. was also the place in

COMBINED ICE-BO4T IND. FIRE
ENGINE.

Messrs. Creighton, of Abo, Finland,
have built and engined remarkable
little craft for the Russian government.
She is 50 feet long, IA feet beam, and
draws feet. She is fitted with a pair
of ordinary high pressure engines with
13-inch cylinders, and 18-inch stroke.
To fit her for discharging the duties of
fire engine she is provided with two
steam pumps, double-acting, with steam
cylinders 8-inch stroke and 9-inch diam
eter, while the pumps are 4-inch diam
eter. The steam pressure is 60 p0unds.
The vessel is specially intended to
maintain communication between the
island of Cronstadt and the main land.
For q considerable portion of the winter
the ice viii carry any weight that can be
put on it, but in the spriLg and autumn
the ice, though too strong to prevent the
use of ordinary boats, viii not carry
horses or sleighs. During the prevalence

CURIOUS YEG ETABLE LIFE

There are many curious facts about
vegetable life. We can, for example.
graft the apricot on the plum, and the
peach ON the apricot, and the almond on
the peach, and thus we may produce a
tree with plum roots and almond-leaves.
The wood, however, of the stem will
consist of four distinct varieties, though
formed from one continuous layer. Be-
low the almond-wood and bark we shall
have perfect peach-weOd and bark, then
perfect appricot-wood and bark, and at
the bottom plum-wood and bark. In
this curious instance we can see the init
mate correspondence between the bark
and the leaf for if we should remove the
almond-branches, we; might cause the
several sorts of wood to develop buds
and lesfy twigs each Of its own kind.
Each section of the compound stem has
its seat of life in the cambium layer, and
the cambium of each reproduces cells OF
its own species out of common nutrient
fluid.

LONGEFITT md LdWTERS.

The average longevity of lawyers, it is
generally conceded by the statisticians,
is greater than that of any other profess
sion or class. The New York World
gives some forcible instances which are
extant of intellectual strength and clear
ness prolonged to an advanced age con-
nected with eminent lawyers: ''Isocrates
lived more than hundred years. Cicero
dwells delightfully."- upon the old barris-
ters of his time, telling how Cethegus
was studying oratory at eighty, and L.
Crassus searching out the civil law at
the same age. The French Chancellor
Teller studied logic in order to carry
on burlesque controversies in barbara
with his grandchildren. Brougham, one
of the chancellors of England, was
ninety-four when he died; Lord Eldon
and Mansfield both touched ninety; and,
if we mistake not, Berger did so too.
In this country, John Adams survived
to be ninety-one, Charles Carroll lived
to the age of ninety-ive, Kent vas
eighty-four, John Pickering eighty four,
Jefferson eighty three, Madison eighty
five, John Jay eighty-four, John Quincy
Adams (who should not be classed
among lawyers, however), eighty-one,
and Chief Justice Marshall eighty, which
age Chief Justice fancy exceeded by
seven years.

DIKING IN HOLLAND.

In Dutch drainage the dixie is q
very important element. These vary, of
course, according to the circumstances
under which they are required. On the
North Sea coast, where they are built to
Withstand tides rising ten feet beyond
their average, and, lashed by storms,
they constitute a work of stupendous
magnitude and cost. In the case of a
holder of few acres, they may be the
work of a single man. Occasionally in
their construction serious engineering
difficulties are presented, especially is
this the case where the dixie is to be con-
structed in the water. Here the two
sides of the foundation, which must
reach from the solid earth to the surface
of the water, are made by sinking great
RATS of fascines made of willow osiers,
often from 100 to $50 yards square,
strongly secured together, and making
compact mass. These are foated over
the place they are intended to occupy,
where they are guided by poles sunk in
the bottom, and are loaded with stones
or with earth until they sink. Upon
this first, a second and smaller one, and
often third, and even fourth, always
decreasing in size, are placed in turn.
The space between the two walls is filled
with solid earth, and on the top of this
secure foundation the dixie is built. If
the dixie is to remain exposed to moving
water, it must be further protected by
jetties, or by mason-work, or by wattles
placed upon its slope, or by rows of piles,
basket-work of straw or rushes, or some
times by brick walls.-Cot. Geo. +.
