A Tophetie Armor.

At a recsut experiment in Silesia, by
Captain Ahlstram, a Swedish officer,
tour heaps, consisting OF logs OF Mood,
were arranged in the form OF square,
we'll covered with, shavings, and satH-
rated with petroleum. 'HAey were then
set light to, and speedily became mass
ot flames. Into tnis fiery furnace, tue
glowing heat of (which kept the speeta-
tors al q respectful distance, stepped
Captain Ahlstfom, clad in his tire-prO0f
dress. He moved freely about in the re-
stricted space-some four leet square
formed by the heaps, leaning from time to
time quite uncuncerned against the
blazing piles, and, finally. taking his
seat upon one of the heaps, glowing with
intense heat, he reciined there with as
much nonohalance as though it had been
u sofa. He remained thirty minutes in
the flames without suffering in the
smallest degree from the heat. Mex
day an experiment was made in the
HOhenzeilern Mine, with the view of
seeing whether the apparatus would
avail in the esent of an explosion Of
fire-Gamp or any analogous accident.
The Principal of the gymnasium, who
volunteered TO test it personally, de-
scended into space which had been
snut off from the rest OF the mine aud
filled with gas, and remained there for
twenty minutes without experiencing
the slightest Inconvenience from the
poisonous atmosphere. Capt. AhIstrom
mas sold his invention to Prussia Tor

.eNo independence of eod!D

Through all Mr.. Eyarts' splendid
oratiou at Philadelphia on the Fourth,
there is to be found no passage more
beautiful than where, at its close, he
solemniy afiirms that, for nation,
"there- can be no Independence of Cod"
The speaker said,
Oh, if there could be, to-day, deeper
anu more peryading impression of this
great truth throughout our land, and a
more prevailing conformity of our
thoughts and words and aots to the
lessons which 1t involves; Ii we could
lit ourselves to loftier sense OF our
relations TO the Inyisible;ii,i in surveying
our past history, we could catch larger
and more exalted views OF our destinIes
and our responsibilities; if we could
realize that the want of good men may
be heavier woe to a land than any
want of wnat the world calls great men,
our Centennial Year would not only be
signalized by splendid ceremonies and
magnificent concentrations aud gor-
geous expositions, but it would 20 far
toward fulfilling something of the
grandeur of that "Acceptable Year"
human lips, and would be the auspic-
ious promise and pledge of glorious
second century of Independence aud
Freedom for our countryl H
For, II that second century OF self
government is TO 60 Oh safely TO. its
CLOSE, orsis to 20 on safely and prosper
Ously at all, there must be some rene wal
OF that old spirit OF subordiHation and
obedience to divine as we'll as human
laws, which has been our security in the
past. There must be faith in something
higher and better than ourselves. Thel e
must be reterent acknowledgment OF
an Unseen, but Aii.seeing, All-conIrol-
ing Ruler Of the Universe. His Word,
His Day, His House, His Worship,
must be sacred to our children, as thev
have been to their fathers; aud HIS
blessing mt III never fail to Ue invoked
upon our land and upon our. liberties.
The patriot vuice, wRlch cried from the
balcony OF yonder old State House, When
tue Declaration had been originally pro-
claimed, stability and perpetuity
to American Independence" did not
tail TO add, "God save eur American
States." would prolong that ancestral
prayer. And TIE last phrase to pass my
lips at this hour. ana to take its chance
OF remembrance or oblivion years to
come, as the conclusi OF this Centen-
niaI GRAFTON, and the sum of all / can say
to the present or the future, suall be:

Tho Hog Rouncer.


The above is the name OF a simple de-
vice invented by the cattle-yard men at
West Albany, N. T., to induce hogs to
move from the cars in which they are
transported into the yard. Pigs, as a
rule, are not OF accommodating DISPOSE
tions; and when 1t comes to prevailing
upon a car load of them to move along
upon narrow gangway, the first ones
that start upon Ihe plank are apt to de-
cline to proceed further, and SO block
the egFess OF the rest. THIS neeessitates
an astonishing amount OF patience and
beating, besides unlimited strong Ian
guAge, and of course often delays q
cattle train for some time. The
new invention for persuadlHg
the animal to pass GU is
the hog bouncer, made by bringing one
end of the gangWay plank DO firm sup
port; tnen under the other end two
double car springs are placed. A power
iui lever and a spring eaten complete
the device. Before tue car door is
opened, the platform is carried down so
as 10 compress the springs by the lever,
and the catch is hooked. The hogs are
then allowed 10 pass along the platform,
and, so long as they move along proper
ly, the plank is undis turbed; but as
soon as a crowd congregates and vocif-
erUusly objects to going further, the
catch Is sprung. 1O.ie end Of the plat
form flies about three feet upward, and
Lhe RESULT Is "A shower of living porkers,
shot over The heads and upon the soft
bodies of the drove. they are seldom
injured, but vastly astonished; aud 1T is
needless TO add thai the blockade is at
once dispelled.
