A few days since an exhibition of the new
Oestberg fire extingushing apparatus took
place on the LindenStrasse, III Berlin, in the
presence of the Emperor, the Empress, the
Grown Prince, the Grand Duke of Baden, the
Swedish Minister of War and the Interior,
and other distinguished persons. The inven.
tor, who is IA Swede, named Oestberg, and
Messrs Brandt and Nawrocki, who had
charge of the exhibition, were presented to
the Empress before the experiments took
place.
Captain AhlstrUm appeared in a peculiar
looking costume, made of the Oestberg in
vention and walked into an immense fire
made of wood saturated with petroleum. The
heat of the fire was so intense that no one else
could approach within eighty PAGES without
being burnt or scorched The Captain, how
ever, walked around in the glowing pile per
fectly undiSturbed, leaning upon the burning
wood, and finally quietly seating himself on
the Goals. He remained in the fire for fifteen
minutes, and on his coming out every one
pressed around to see how much he was in
jured. He was unframed, aad in spite of
he Emperor's asSeveratlon that he had seen
enough of so dangerous an experiment Cap
tain Ahlstrom went again into the fiery oven
On finally emerging he took of the suit
and appeared clothed in red flannel. The
Emperor said, "One must see this to form any
Just conception of IT," He then asked Messrs
Brandt and NawrockI about the patent
in Prussia, aud when informed that the ap-
plicaton for a patent had been refused eX-
pressed great surprise.-h oetHische ZettURg.

Fashionable Edict Regarding Stationery.

Fashion is the most uncOmpromising, ty-
ranical and despotic ruler of advanced civil
liZation. See into what petty by.ways he
carries the royal strut and swagger! He says:
Paper will be used hereafter IN the regular
fold, IN distinction to the legal style, which
has been the rage. The inclination is toward
the ancient and antique, centennial paper and
venerable parchments. Sober, quiet and sub
dued tints, have the asendency over the loud
satin reps and the Scotch and University
plaids. The tints are amber, violet, silver
gray, fawn, court gray, perfection, celestial,
&c, Pearl and cream are considered the most
recherche, though it Is suggested that a blush
color would be more fitting, displaying, in
many cases, what has come to be rare phe-
nomenon, the utterance Of a lie protected bya
blush.
Unruled paper has the preference, though
both are used. French papers are still great
ly used, the "roHgh-tinish,' being the latest
innovation. The sizes are octave note, COM
mercia note. Bath note and Alexandria let
ter, the two latter are II ost preferred.

The national holiday, of course, is a fea-
ture Of the July st. Nicholas. 1t is remem-
bered in several contributions, in stories
and sketches, poems and pictures, puzzles
and paragraphs. All the American flags,
from the Rattlesnakc and Palmetto OF 177G to
the Stars and Stripes Of to-day, wave out at
us from two pages. The Boston Boys who
gained their right to the Common are re-
membered; and there is record of all of the
events Of the Century worth recording. But
the number Is also rich in Its miscellaneous

Effect of Light.

DR.. Moore, the metaphysician, thus speaks
of the effect of light on the body and mind ::
A tadpole confined IN darkness would new
er become a frog; and an infant deprived Of
heavens free light will only grow into a
shapeless idiot, instead of a beautiful and
reasonable being Hence, in the deep dark
gorges and ravines of the Swiss Valois, where
the direct sunshine never reaches, the hid.
eous prevalence Of idlocy startles the travel
err 1t is strange, melancholy idiocy.
Many persons are incapable of articuate
Speech some are deaf, some are blind, some
labor under all these privations, and all are
misshnppen in almost every part of the body.
| believe there Is in all places marked
difference in the healthiness of houses &c
cording 10 their aspect in regard TO the sun,
and those are decidedly the healthiest, other
things being equal, in which all the rooms

July Magazines.
Scribner's Monthly.

1t is too early yet TO cry out that centennial
topics in the magazines and newspapers are
getting monotonous, for we have not yet
: passed the 4th of July, the elimination OF
the season; but when more than half the
space of any July magazine one opens is &C.
, cupied with centennial matter, and every
r newspaper has column or two of "Centen.
!, NAL Notes." one is almost tempted to cry out,
"Give us restl Bat the centennial matter
of the July Scribner's is such as must at this
time peculiarly interest the American public.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson tells the story
of the signing OF the Declaration, which, the
public may not generally know, was not done
on the 4lh of July, bat deferred until the Cd
of August There is much conflict of testl-
mony in regard TO attending incidents, and
many favorite traditions must be given up;
"but," says our writer
American tradition has clung TO the phras-
es assigned to the different participants in
this scene: John Hancock's commentary on
his own bold handwriting There, John Bull
may read my name without spectacles !"
Franklins, 1--WE must hang together, or else,
most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
and the heavy Harrison's remark to the
slender Elhrl3ge Gerry, that, in that event.
Gerry would be kicking in the air long after
his own fate would be settled These things
may or may not have been SAID but il gives
more human interest to the event, when we
know that they were even attributed. What
we long to know is, that the great acts Of his.
tory were done by men like ourselves, and
not by dIgnitied machines.
In "a Little Centennial Lady" Mrs. Harrl-
son gives US delightful sketch of Sally Fair

Benjamin F. Taylor rounds up the Centen.

none of its interest in Illinois, as Mr.. Taylor
belongs to this state.
But aside from Centennial topics, the July
