MISCELLANY.


NINE. DE SrAEL. NINE. de Stael was born
in Paris in 1865, in very intellectual age.
Her father was high in power, his house the
resort of the most cultivated people In Paris,
and she the idol Of every circle. Not tech
ntcally beautiful, but the expression OF her
counsenance was exceedingly attractive. Her
dark, lustrous eyes, flashing with genius, and
the expression of her lip, gave spleudor ana
variety to her whole aspect. She played,
sang, wrote pocpl.,, offered the most original
views on every subject, seemed priestess,
sib,l, full of inspiration, radiant, hopeiui,
witty. so that every Que listened to her as 70
an oracle. Her hostile attitude towards Ma
poleon caused her Punishment from Paris.
The result of her travels through Germany
and Italy was Corinne," one Of those i'm
mortal books which the heart Of the world
cherishes, painting, poem, tragedy, novel,
crtique, interesting to all classes, ages, ana
countries, and the most brilliant book ever
written on Italy. Every page Is masculine in
powsr; every sentence Is condensed thought,
autasvcry line burns with passion. No man
could make such revelations. On the fali OF
Napoleon Nine. de Stael returned to Paris,
aud the restoration hailed her with enthu-
siasm. Authors sought her encouragement.
The salons caught inspiration from her
presence. Never was woman seated on
prouder throne. But she did not live long
enough to enjoy her honors. She was stined,
like voltaire, by incense and idolatries, worn
out by excessive mental activities, and died

THE BAIRD BUTToN-HoLER.-T is an
invention by Rev. Samuel j. Baird, d. D., OF
this city, aud is designed to be attached TO
sewing machines for working button-holes.
The inventor has been laboring and expert
ueuting on it for about six years, and has at
last brought the machine TO such state that
il seems to be perfect It can readily be at
tached to nearly all the machines in use, and
works equally well on any Of them. On the
machine 1T occupies space af about six by
two inches, aud lies Immediately under the
beam which works the peedle. ANY de-
scription of it would be unintelligiblc to the
general reader without cut and explana-
ton, or the machine itself before him. But
that it does its work well is attested by all
who have seen it in operation, as also by the
fact that several of the large manufacturers
have tried to get the exclusive use of this re.
suit of the Doctors inventive genius.
The machine is apparently simple, easy to
put on the machine, or TO be taken of, and
can be used by any one at all familiar with
sewing.machines. It works the buttonh hole
to any length required by the operator, and
does equally well in the finest linen or the
coarsest cloth, taking stitches Of any length
desired, or as large a bite" as may be ne
cessary.
1t is proposed to get up joint stock CON-
pany i'm this CITY for the purpose of manu-
featuring them here. The six patents which
have been issued to Dr.. Baird for This me-
chine cover thirty.sc7en distinct CLAIMS.

AN AGREEABLE suRpRIsE.-R II. I.
bacon, pastor of NichSsson.Sueet Methodist
Church, Rockets, was very agreeably sur.
prised on Thursday night last by visit
fcom about fifty members of Trinity Church.
Hearing that be had recently commenced
housekeeping, the ladies of the church, as
sisted by the gentlemen, determined to give
him start in kfe. Having secured large
furniture wagon they proceeded to I'LL it
with barred of flour, hams, susar, tea,
coffee, &c, and then in body called on Mr..
and Mrs. Bacon. 1t is almost needless to
add that such token OF Christian love,
coming spontaneously from the members Of
another congregation, awakened the lirellest
emotions OF gratitude and love on the part OF
the recipients. The evening WAS spent In
social converse, singing, and prayer.
Mr.. Bacon is doing good and s!ieccessful
work in this field OF usefulness.
