ESTIMATING MEASURES.

It is often useful to have few ap.
proximate data to deduce weights and
measures from. Here is correct table
which, however, does not aim at great
accuracy, but may serve to make rough
estimate when it is necessary to reduce
measures:
A pint of water weighs nearly 1 pound
and is equal to about II cubic inches, OF
a square box 3 inches long, 8 inches
wide and 3 inches deep.
A quart of water weighs nearly 2
pounds and is equal to square box OF
about 4 by 4 inches and 81 inches deep.
A gallon of water weighs from s to
10 pounds, according to the size of the
gallon, and is equal to a box 6 by
6 inches square, and 6, 7 or u inches
deep.
A cubic foot of water weighs nearly
So pounds-more correctly 62a pounds
and contains from 7 to s gallons, &C.
cording to the kind of gallon used.
A peck is equal to box 8 by s
square and inches deep.
A bushel almost fills box IL by IL
inches square and "a inches deep, or 2
cubic feet.
A barrel of water almost fills box
by 2 feet square and II feet deep, or 6
cubic feet.
Petroleum barrels contain 40 gallons
or nearly 5 cubic feet.

WOmen's Courage.

In his address at the semi centennial
celebration of Abbot Female Academy,
at Andover, Mass, last week, the Rev.
DR.. Richard S. Storrs said: Then,
courage, I think, is a noble feminine
grace-courage and self-devotion. We
are so accustomed to associate courage
with physical strength that we do not
often, perhaps, or always think of it as
pre-eminently a feminine grace when
the feminine nature has been fully I'M
folded and trained, but it is. The reck-
less rapture of self-forgetfulness- that
which dominates and inspires persons
and nations; that which is sovereign
over obstacle and difficulty and peril
and resistance-it has belonged to
woman's heart from the beginning. In
the early pagan time, in the Christian
development, in mission and in mar
tyrdoms, it has been shown, in the me-
dieval age as well as in our own time,
in Harriet Newell and Florence Night
ingale, in Ann Haseltine, as truly and
as wildly as in any Hebrew Adassa or
in any French Joan OF Arc. You re-
member the Prussian women after the
battle Of Jena, when Prussia seemed
trampled into the bloody mire under
the cannon of Napoleon and the feet of
the horses and men in his victorious
armies. Prussian women, never losing
their courage, flung their ornaments of
gold and jewelry into the treasury of
the state, taking back the simple cross
of Berlin iron which is now the precious
heirloom in SO many Prussian families,
bearing the inscription, 4 gave gold
for IRON That is the glory of woman
hood. That passion, its forgetfulness,
that supreme self-devotion with which
she filings herself into the champion
ship of cause that is dear and sacred
and trampled under foot-it is her
crown of renown; it is her staff OF
power, and do not wonder that, al
most while we are speaking and listen.
ing here, the Prussians and the Ger.
mans are all marching in festival pro.

HOW MUCH IS A HORSEPOWER.
The New York Herald thus describes
a horse power: This question is fire.
quently asked: What is understood by
a horsepower. and why came that way
of reckoning to beadopted and brought
into general use? Before the power Of
steam was generally known and applied
to mechanical purposes, horses were
used to raise coal and other heavy
bodies. Mr.. Moots, in his experiments
carefully compared the relative power
of the different breeds of horses, and
found its average equal to raising 49,
600 pounds one foot per minute, or;
what is equivalent, to raise $50 pounds
100 feet, or 100 pounds $50 feet during
that space of time when attached to a
lever or sweep of given length. This
afterward became the standard of meas
uring power or force applied to me-
chanical purposes, and which is still re-
tanned in common use.

A matter of great interest to New
England, and vital Importance to the
south, is the rapid increase of cctton
mills in the states south of the POTOMAC
North Carolina has fifty mills, and in al
there are reported one hundred and
eighty>three erected since the war in the
cotton growing states. This is the only
opportunity of the south Let princi
pies of economy be observed in state and
municipal government let capitalists be
assured that they will not be burdened
by enormous taxes let law and order
prevail as in New England, and there is
no reason why the region where cotton
grows at the factory door, where rivers
turn the mill wheels, and the adjacent
fields furnish the operatives with Ghe
staff of life, cannot con pete successfully
with the territory east of the Hudson,
which brings its cotton q thousand miles
for manufacture, buys its fuel five hun
dred miles away, and transports the food
of its laborers hall way across the eonti-
nent. The outlook in the southern
states is hopeful, and they must have a
great future before them.
