4 HODERS INVENTION KNOWN TO IN
4NCIETT ROMAN.

In book of curiosities," says the
London Times, we read There was an
artifcer in Rome who made vessels of
glass of 50 tenacious a temper that they
were as little liable to be broken as those
that are made of goIdan silver. When,
therefore, he had made a vial of the
purer sort, and such as he thought a
present worthy of Caesar alone, he was
admitted into the presence OF the then
Emperor Tiberius- The gift was praised,
the skillfuI hand of tn artist applauded,
and the donation of the giyer accepted.
The artist, that he might enhance the
wonder of the spectators and promote
himself yet further in the favor of the
emperor, desired the vial out of Cesar
hand, and threw it with such force
against the floor that the most solid
metal would have received some damage
or bruise thereby. Cesar was not only
amazed but affrighted by the act; but
the artist, taking up the vial from the
ground (Which was not broken, but only
bruised together, as if the substance of
the glass had put on the temper of brassl,
drew out an instrument from his bosom
and beat it out to its former figure. This
done, he imagined that he had conquered
the world, as believing that he had mer-
tied an acquaintance with Cesar and
raised the admiration of all the behOlders;
but it fell out otherwise, for the emperor,
inquired if any ether person besides him
self was privy to the like tempering of
glass. When he told him No. he COM
manded his attendants to strike of his
head, saying that should this artifce
come once to be known, gold and silver
would be of as little value as the dirt in
the street. Long after this-viz,, in
l6l0-we read that, among other rare
presents then sent from the sophy of
Persia to the king Of Spain, were six
mirrors Of maileable glass, 50 exquisitely
tempered that they could not be broken.

BLPHrHERLA AND ITS CURE.

4 small quantity of either sulphate Of
iron, tannin, or chlorate of potash, put
dry upon the tongue, and allowed to
dissolve there, once in every hour, have
been found most efficient remedies in the
early stages of diphtheria. This terrible
disease appears under three varieties or
forms: LIST, There is Il fever, severe
pains in the back, bones and limbs, and
very great prOstratiOn. There may be
soreness of the throat, but, on examining
it, small white specks will be noticed on
the tonsils, but few or none on the rest
of the throat. These cases will recover
under any and every variety of treat
ment in four or six days. The great, but
false reputation of many physicians and
remedies is based upon necessarily favor
able results of these causes. I'd. Large
patches of false membrane will be Observ-
ed, both on the tOnsils and on the back
of the throat; but the glands of the

,iOrity of these cases will also recover
under very simple treatment, unless the
disease extends down to the wind pipe,
which it really does. 3. True malignant

small dose, every night, may act as
preventive remedy. Sometimes tannin
may be given more readily than the

A Peabody farmer had sold q Lynn

thither had lost the piece Of brown paper
that contained the address. He had
searched for him at the post-ofice, city

unable to find him, and was on the point
Ofreturning home when he saw an intel
lgent-looking individual standing on the
corner of Broad and Atlantic streets, to
whom he said
Il sold this load Of wood to aman here

THE WAY THINGS ARE IN THE CEN
TER or TEEEARTH.

A remarkable address has been deliv-
cred by Sir William Thompson in the
physical section Of the British assOcia-
ton on the subject Of the fluid or solid
nature Of the earth's kernel. While not
denying that certain portions of the
eartb's interior are in a molten or fluid
state, Sir William Thomson maintained,
on various more or less recOndite grounds,
that no large proportion Of the earth's
interior can by any possibility be in the
condition Of molten fluid. Il may say,
with almost perfect certainty, that what
ever may be the relative densities of rock
solid and melted, at or about the tenn
peature of iquefaction, it Is, think,
Quite certain that cold solid rock Is
denser than hot melted rock and no
possible degree Of rigidity in the crust
could prevent it from breaking in pieces
and sinking wholly below the liquid lava
Something ike this may have gone on
and probably did go on for thousands Of
years after soIidifcation commenced
surface portions Of the melted material
losing heat, freezing and sinking i'm
mediateIy or growing to thieknesses of a
few metres where the surface would be
cool, and the whole solid dense enough
to sink. This process must go On until
the sunk portions of crust build up from
the bottom q sufficiently close-ribbed
skeleton or frame, to allow fresh inerus-
tation 10 remain, bridging across the
now small areas of lava pools or lakes. ;"
That is a striking picture Of the growth
fthe "round earth,'' which was once
supposed to have been made from the
first $50 fast that it cannot be moved. ~

belief in the central lava ocean after all

HOW THEY SEE Us.

The correspondents have been inter
viewing the various foreigners at the
centennial to get their opinions Of us
Americans. The Turkish gentleman
says he thinks we are dreadfully inouigi-
tive, and that he has occasionally had to
say he himself was not on exhibition.
The Frenchman thinks we eat very bad
food, and need a school of eating. More
good wine and less bad whisky would
help D, in his opinion. Our clothing is
cheap enough, but our drink is dear,
The Spaniards and Portuguese think
things here are cheap and good. The
Italian interviewed thinks we lack senti-
ment and principle. Our women puz-
zle him. He asks "is it innocence, viz
cue, righteousness, or what ?' Our food
and clothes cost more than those in Italy.
and our Custom-hOuse officers are brutes,
The Swiss think business is impossible
in country with custOm-houses like
ours. The Austrian gentleman laments
that the average American don't know
the difference between an Austrian and
an Australian, and takes him for the
latter. Life in America is twice as costly
and not quite as good az in Vienna.
The Danish gentleman thinks that if he
were back in Denmark he should like
America first rate; while he's here he
considers it very costly. The BeIgians
think our stOmachs must be out of or
der, or we could not want to eat what
We do. The Dutch do not like our wo-
men, but think our men are first rate
very like Dutchmen. The Mexicans
want to improve our streetcar system,
and think we manage abOminably in the
matter of local travel. The Chinaman
thinks the Chinese "make muchee
money in Meica and Mclean man
makee d-n little money in Chilee."
The World says the Germans are the
people who really like US They regard
this country as the paradise for working
men, and thoroughly like the way we do
things here.

SOMETHING ABOU1 VENUS.

1t is strange that all the stars we see,
Venus is the only one which is in reality
like the earth in size. All the others
are either very much smaller or very
Innch larger. Most of them-in fact all
The stars properly 50 caIled-are great
globes of hre like our sun, and are thou
sands of times larger than the globe we
live on. \ few others are like Venus
and the earth in not being true stars, but
bodies travelling round the sun and owing
all their light to him. But it so happens
that not one even of these is nearly of
the same size IS the earth they are all
either very much larger or very much
smaller. Venus isthe only Sister-world
the earth has, among all the orbs which
travel round the sur. There may
be others in the far of depths
of space, travelling around some one or
other of these suns which we call ''stars,"
but if so, we can never know that such
sister-worlds exist, for no telescope could
ever he made which would show them to
us.
In the first part of this article, have
given an account of the various changes
of appearance presented by the beautiful
stars which sometimes shine. as HesPer-
us, the star of evening, and sometimes as
Lucifer, the morning star. Let us now
consider what this star really is, so far,
at least, as we can learn by using teles-
copes and other instruments.
Venus has, in the first place, been
measured, and we find that she is globe
nearly as large as the earth. Like the
earth, she travels round and round the
sun continually, but not in the same
time as the earth. The earth goes round
the sun Once in twelve months, while
Venus goes round once in about seven
and half months: so that her year, the
time in which the seasons run through
their changes, is four and half months
less than ours. If Venus has four seas
ons like ours-spring, summer, autumn
and winter-each of these seasons last
eight weeks. Venus also, like our earth,
turns on her axis, and so has night and
day as ours, but the difference about
twenty-five miRutes-is not very impor-

year have renewed the assurance that
Connecticut, Delaware, Oregon, West
Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas and

Proclamation
Whereas, 1t has been satisfactorily
shown to me that instruction and do
nestle violence exist in several counties
of the state If South Carolina, and that
certain combinations Of men against the
law exist in many counties of said state,
known as rife clubs" who ride up and
down, by day and night, in arms, muir
dering some peaceful citizens and in
timidating Others, which combination.
although forbidden by the laws of the
state can not be controlled or suppressed
by the ordinary course of justice; and
whereas, it is provided in the constitu-
ton of the United States that the United
States shall protect every state in this
union, on the application of the Iegisla-
tuTe, or of the executive when the legs
latUre can not be convened, against de-
me tic violence and whereas, by lava in
pursuance of the above it is provided in
the laws of the United States that in all
cases of insurrectiOn in any state, or of
obstruction to laws thereof, it shall be
lawful for the president of the United
States, on application of the legislature
of such state, or of the executive, when
the legislature can not be convened, to
call for the militia of any other state or
states, or to employ such part of the land
and naval forces as shall be judged neces-
sary for the purpose of supPressing such
instruction or causing the laws to be
duly executed and whereas, the Iegis-
lature of said state is not now in session.
and can not be convened in time to meet
the present emergency, and the execu-
tive of said state, under section four of
article four of the constitution and laws
passed in pursuance thereof, has there
fore made due application to me in the
premises for such part of the military
force of the United States as may be
necessary and adequate to protect such
state and the citizens thereof against
domestic violence, and to enforce the due
execution of laws; and whereas. it is
required that whenever it may be -neces-
sary in the judgment Of the president to
use the military force for the purpose
aforesaid, ne shall forthwith, by proc
lamation, command such insurgents to
disperse and return peaceabIy to their
respective homes within a limited time.
Now, therefore,
1, Ulysses s. Grant, president of the
United States, do hereby make proclama-
ton and command all persons engaged
in said unlawful and insurrectiOnary pro-
ceedings to disperse and retire peaceably
to their respective abodes within three
days from the date hereof, and hereafter
abandon said combinations, and submit
themselves to the laws and constituted
authorities OF said state, and invoke the
aid and cooperation of all good citizens
thereof to uphold the laws and preserve
the public peace. In witness whereof
have hereuntO set my hand and caused

Sir-In view of the existing condition

To provide against such a contingency
you will immediately order all the avail
