THE GOOD VISHINU.

A dispute once arose among the sages
which of the three gods was greatest
They applied to the greatest of all sages-
Bhrigu-to determine the point He un-
dertook to put all three gods to a sever
test. He went first to Brahma, and omitted
all obeisance. The gods anger blazed
forth, but he was at length pacifed Mex
he went to the abode of silva, and omitted
to return the gods salutation. The irasci-
ole god was enraged, his eyes flashed fire,
md he raised his trident weapon to destroy
The sage. But the gods wife, Parvati, in.
terceded for him. Lastly, Bhrigu went to
The heaven of Vishn,- whom he found
asleep. To try his forbearance be gave the
god good kick on his breast, which awoke
him. Instead Of showing anger, Vishnu
.sked Bhrigu's pardon for not having greet,
I'd him on his first arrival. Then he de-
,lared he was highly honored by the sage's
blow. 1t had imprinted an indelible mark
Of good fortune on his breast. He trusted
the sage's foot was not hurt, and began to
rub it gently. 'This," said Bhrigu, '.if
the mightiest god; he overpowers by the
most potent of all weapons, gentleness and
generosity" -

IN SAVOY.

AK is one street, and that street is all
hotels. No stuck-up hotels, but friendly
little homes where you may sun yourself
after too frequent rain, on the door step, or
wander out to shop, or bathe, or meet q
friend, or eat-if in "dependance"-bare-
headed, just as you are. There is GER
tain charm in strolling through outrageous
gardens Or on the homely flags, to perfect
dinner served by perfect cooks, union of
many attributes of town and country
piquent to the palate jaded by city life. A
more sociable, peaceful little place I never
beheld than AK. The good, ugly, square
shouldered savoyard looks on smilingly and
quite unmoved at the worlds fair enacted
in this narrow little street. The long tail
of the Paris "elegantes" sweeping the pave
ment, the assumption of the dowdy Eng
lish mother and her addressed daughters,
the evil-faced men come to be cured of evi
lives, the dandy, the gandin-what ar
these to the primitive Savoyard? Tn,
Savoyard looks and wonders, passes and
smiles. He turns his strong back to it's bur
den, his foot toward its labor, bis sleek
dun cow-as quiet and peaceful as himself
at his heels; he draws his fshing-net from
the lake, or shoots birds in the abundant
woods, or he make hay; later he will pillow
and harrow and dig, stoid, unrnoved
honest hard-working as an ox-the gooc
home-loving simple soul! He envies nc

LOUISIANA is to have Constitutional
Convention. A bill to that effect passed
both Houses of the Legislature and was
approved by the Governor on Thursday.
Whether she is to have a new Constitu-
hon or not remains to be seen. Louisi-
ana has the supreme satisfaction of feel
Ing that no set of men can be gathered
together capable of devising worse Con
stitution than that under which the peo-
pie of that State labor. On the eve of
The Constitutional Convention this fact
should afford great consolation.

INSECTS In MAgRITIUS.

II only the daylight would last longer in
these latitudes where exercise is only posi-
BILE after sundown. However early we set
forth, the end of the walk is sure to be ac-
complished stumblingly in profound dark
ness. Happily, there are no snakes or
poisonous reptiles of any sort, nor have I
yet seen anything more personally objec-
tectionable than mosquito. I rather owe
grudge, though, to o little insect called the
mason fly, which has perfect passion for
running up mud huts Compared to its
larger edifces on the walls and ceiing) on
my blotting- books and between the leaves
of my pet volumes. The white ants are the
worst insect foe we have, and the stories I
hear of their performances would do credit
to the arabian Nights. I have already
learned to consider as pests the little soft
brown lizards which emerge from behind
the picture frames at night as soon as ever
the lights are lit They come out to catch
the flies ON the ceiling, and stalk their prey
in the cleverest and stealthiest fashion. Oc-
casionly, however, they quarrel with each
other, and have terrific combats overhead,
with the invariable result of wriggling
inch of tail dropping down on ones book or
paper. This cool weather is, of course, the
time when one is freest from insect visitors,
and have not vet seen a1ay butterflies. A
stray grasshopper, with green wings folded
exactly like large leaf, or an inquisitive
mantis, blunders on to my writing table &C.
casionally, but not often enough to be any
thing but welcome. As my sitting room
may be said, speaking architecturally, to
consist merely of floor and ceiling, there
is no reason why all the insects in the island
should not come in at any one of its seven

and that each mess supplies its own table,
sharing the expense equally, and paying
| it from their own money. 1t is not an
uncommon thing for commanders of our
naval vessels when in foreign ports, to
invite Americans of respectability to
make short cruise on board; in which
case they join "mess," are supplied
from the mess-table, and contribute
equally to the common expense.
Such would have been unquestionably
the course taken by Gen. Grant, had the
officers permitted him to do 50. So that,
in no case would the boarding expense of
the voyage for the Ex-President cost the
Government single dollar. But, still
the clamor was raised about "the ex-
pense" of giving Gen. Grant a free pas
sage on naval vessel bound to India on
the public service.
And now we learn that our Ex-Presi-
dent, thus hooted and bounded away
from national vessel under the Ameri
can flag, has taken his passage on board
a merchant vessel under the French flag
in the Oriental Line of steamers of the
Messageries Imperiales, bound for India
and China. And we learn, moreover,
that the French authorities have directed
their officials in those foreign parts to
extend to Gen. Grant all proper cour-
tesies and civilities, as distinguished
American citizen. This is but proper; ;
and ought to bring the blush of shame
to those of our countrymen whose clamor
has constrained an Ex-President of the
United States to accept the civilities of a
vessel under foreign flag that they de-
nounced him for receiving under our
own. Their course has been more unjust
to our country than injurious to him,
and merits the contempt of every patri-
otic citizen.

PUNCTUALITY.
dr. !.

Miss Peale, the daughter of Mr.. James
peale, the famous painter, tells the follow
,np story to show that the wife of President
Washing emulated her husband in pune
tuality:-
'My father had an engagement to paint
miniature of Mrs. Washington, in Phila-
delphia, the general being out of town.
He was obliged to go to her house, and
the appointment for first sitting was ar
.,anged for seven o'clock in the morning. My
father arrived at the house, and, taking out
mis- watch, he found he was just on time.
The thought then struck him that possibly
it might be early to disturb lady, and he
decided to give ten minutes grace before
knocking at the door. He accordingly
walked the pavement, and at the end of ten
minutes pulled out his watch and rang the
bell. He was ushered into the parlor, and
Mrs. Washington, aocosting him, drew out
her watch and said she had given her or
ders for the day, had heard her daughter
take her lesson on the harpsichord and
had read all the morning papers, and after
all this had been waiting for him ten
minutes"

A BRIDGE and truss testing car is among
the recent practical inventions designed to
meet an imperative need. 1t is simply an
iron tank resting upon three trucks, the
tank capable of holding eighty tons of
water; on the centre track are four hy-
draulic jacks, operated by one lever, and
by these the entire weight of car and con-
tents can be thrown upon the centre
truck, and thus the test of weight can be
brought upon very small space on the
bridge. BY the use of floats and indicat-
ing rods, the exact weight as applied can
be noted A test rod running to the track
and supported by roller on the rail,
shows the engineer the least depression in
the track or bridge. In case weakness
is discovered, the food, gates are opened
by single lever, and the water instantly
let off, relieving the bridge of eighty tons
weight. The weight of the car is given as
sixty tons, and, when the eighty tons of
water is added, the full test is lao tons,
but this weight may be lessened, if de-
sired.

IT is found that, by simple process,
plaster casts may be converted into excel
Ieut limitations of terra-cotta ware. The
colors required are brick red, lampblack,
zinc white, and yellow ochre, all in powder,
and the object to be treated is fast care
fully rubbed with go 0" sand paper 80 as
to remove all roughness of the surface of
ridges indicating where the parts of the
mould have been joined. The mixed color
consists of two parts yellow ochre, two
parts brick red, and one part black, these
being well rubbed together; after this,
three parts of zinc white are separately
mixed, with little milk, to a paste, aud
all the ingredients are then combined ina
mortar with eight or ten parts of milk,
and the resulting mixture passed through a
fine sieve to remove any particles of the
white. A soft brush is next used to spread
the stain over the object, care being taken
to lay it on evenly, and, after twenty
four hours drying, second coat is ap-
piled.

CLIVE AND GARRICK.

Mrs. Give and Garrick were always at
loggerheads. She was eminent on the Lon
don stage before he appeared, and she
never forgave him echpsing her as he had
all others. One night when he was per-
forming King Lear, she stood in the side
scenes to carp, but was so deeply affected
that she sobbed one minute, and abused
herself the next at length, entirely over
come, she hurried away, exclaiming sple-
netically, g. him! I believe he could
act gridiron" She was at times mali
ciously spiteful to him; one night when he
entered the green-room dressed for Bar
5arossa, in glittering silver tissue shape,
she called out, Make room for the royal
Iamp-lighter !" which jest disconnected him
for the remainder of the night, as she was
perfectly aware it wonld. Yet when she
had quilted the stage, and all rivalry had
ceased between them, her good heart did
full justice to his merits, and no one
was louder in praise of him. - Temple

THE presence of ben zine in coal gas has
been verified, says French paper, by the
action of fuming nitrate acid upon the gas
and the subsequent reactions of the nitro
benzine formed. 1t is also found that
nitrate acid does not act upon ethylene in
an appreciable manner, SO that this method
of estimating the quantity of benzine is
not vitiated by the presence of ethylene
Experiments show that only traces of
benzine and of ethylene are soluble in
mono hydrate of sulphuric acid, while, on
the other hand, propylene and acetylene
are completely absorbed, the former in q
few minutes, the latter in twenty FIVE
minutes. The illuminating power of gas is
due mainly to the presence OF benzine, and
it would seem that the illuminating power
of fame is not due to the numerical
relation of the carbon to the hydrogen, as
has been 30 commonly assumed, but as
Franklin has shown, to the condensation
of these elements in the unit of volume.

The proposed tunnel between Spain and
Africa would appear to be no longer a
matter of doubt. This tunnel, according
to the plan OF present contemplated, is to
Algisiras, on the Spanish side, to between
Tanger and Centa, on the African side.
The length of the submarine tunnel will be
nine miles, with all inclination of one foot
per hundred, and the approaches will have
an extent of six or seven miles. The greatest
depth of the sea is 5000 feet; and, as it is
intended to have q thickness of some 800
feet of rock left between the roof of ihe
tunnel and the sea bottom, the greatest
depth Of the tunnel will thus be $500 feet

REFERRING to the attempts made for years
past to utilize the immense fields of peat
in the New England and Middle States, to
do which it was thought necessary to care
fully cut it in squares and dry 1.-THE
American Manufacturer states that the ma
chinery invented for accomplishing this
has now been generally abandoned, on
account of the cost of cutting and drying
being SO large, and especially because of
the long time required for drying. Recent
experiments, it says, have been made with
fresh dug peat wet from the meadow,
without even cutting in squares or drying,
and it has been found that, with a small
mixture of coal screenings, or soft coal,
this can be used under boilers set with the
Jarvis furnace, without using blast, an
immense heat being made without any
smoke; heretofore, in burning dry peat,
the gases would fill up the fues, but these,
by this other arrangement are fully util-
ICED by the hot air supplied on the top of
the fues.

SCIENTIFIC.

TIE statement is mado that Mr.. Cartnel,
the English arctic explorer, from his ex-
periences during the expedition of Capt.
Mares, came to the conclusion that sledging
by manual power was hopeless method
of attempting to reach the north pole, and
since his return, has been busily engaged
in devising steam sledge for the purpose.
This contrivance, as described by the in
ventor, consists in its general outlines of a
fat -bottomed boat with two stern wheels,
the midship cross sections being paral-
lelogram-th the material of construction to
be steel plates lined with wood, perfectly
rigid, and capable of standing the rougheSt
usage. This boat sledge, as it is termed,
would be highly polished SO as to minimize
friction, while the bow would be stayed
and strengthened to the fullest extent, SO
as to resist conclusions; the steam power
to be concentrated as much as possible,
while the steering wheels can be given
directly from the crank shaft.
