of the earth's crust is formed of solids
much heavier than water. GRANTEES are
more than two and half times heavier
than water, slaty rocks about the
same, and SO are ordinary imestones,
the variations of all being from about
rs to 80. The ironstone group con-
tains denser minerals; red hematite has
a specific gravity of 4.5; magnetic iron
stone, As to 90, etc., and many other
ores are heavy. At some remote peri
cd, when only part of the now-sold
earth had been condensed from gaseous
aud vapory matter, our planet might
have had a mean density like that of
Jupiter, as its rocky materials contain
between 40 and so per cent. of oxygen (;
and, while CONVERSATIONS and chemical
combinations were going on rapidly,
our globe must have been the scene of
Thunders, lightnings, and prodigious storms.
And it is probable that certain stars
which have suddenly blazed forth with
passing splendor have exhibited to MS
the spectacle of condagrations extend
ing over millions and billions of square
miles. Color-changes in Jupiter-such
as those noticed by Mr.. Browning and
the writer in 1869-70-may have been
caused by soda. flames, though not
fierce enough or extensive enough to
add materially to his ordinary lumin-
osity, which is estimated rs always ex-
ceeding, though not in a very high de-
gree, what it would he by mere rehec

A Cautious Answer.

1t was said of President Van Buren,
that no one could get downright yes
or no from him. The same is said
CT distinguished Englishman, Arch
deacon Denison. At least in debate
he will never commit himself, while he
is quick to take advantage of "every
point in the game"
Ii the following story about him i'll
ustrating this fact is not true, it is GER
tainly "well invented" Denison was
closely pressed in an argument, but was
evidently resolved to die hard, and at
length bis antagonist, virtutus engi-
neer of the Smiles ideal, lost patience
at the irregulsr warfare of the Arch
deacon

pairingly, do you acknowledge that
two and two make four?"

Courtesy TO the Public.

No admittance" is the curt style in
which we warn away visitors from our
factories and foundries. Sometimes the
fear lest possible customer may be
barred out leads to this modifying annex,
Except on business"
p The inscription is an illustration Of
the American habit of doing everything
in the quickest and shortest way. The
habit saves time and words, but it leaves
no margin for salutation by the way,
and but little for courtesy.
We may learn from a contrast that
the iron hand, cased in velvet glove, is
as efficient in preventing intrusion as an
uplifted sledge-hammer.
The iron and cannon-foundry of Herr
Krupp is located at Essen. 1t is the
largest foundry in the world. AS Herr
Krupp has secrets which he is not in
clined to share with pryipg founders, he
has surrounded his vast establishment
With veritable great wall of China. On
it are placards with this inscription re-
peated in three languages:
The public are informed that, in
asking to view the establishment, they
expose themselves TO refusal"
Herr Krupp handles the pen as skill
fully as he forges cannon. His inscrip-
ton is courteous. 1t adorns refusal
with pleasant words. 1t is, as becomes
the words of co-laborer with Bismarck,
evasively diplomatic. An exposure to
refusal is not the refusal itself. Con-
trast this inscription with the American
No admittance," aud learn q lesson in
courtesy to the public.

of all our young folks, and good
many old ones, too, for the use of
his house on New Years night to
make merry in. As everybody
knows Sans proverbial hospitality
ard the amiableness Of his wife, all
it is necessary TO say on that score is
that they were themselves during the
entire evening. and the guests all
have cause to rejoice that it was their
good fortune to be present. If any
one failed to enjoy the occasion it
certainly was not made manifest as
long as the music warbled and the
gay company shook willing feet.

OUR P. ]. GET SET DOWN ON.

At the time of its passage we called
the attention Of our Police Jury to
the injustice Of their ordinance re-
curing the Tax Collector to receive
nothing but currency for parish taxes,
and asked for its repeal. II now turns
out that their stubbornness in refus-
ing to acceed to our request, which
was made ON the expressed demands
OF the people for its repeal, has a
most effectual squelcher in the new
constitution just adopted. Their ac-
ton is null and void, whether they
will it or not, and persons owing
taxes for any year may now pay them
in parish certificates issued in tie
same year for which their taxes are
due. The following article, to be
found in the ordinance for the relief
of tax payes. on page 60 of the new
constitution, tells the correctness OF
Of our position
