TEsrAMENTARY AVAILABILITY.

Lord Dysart for many years lived IN a
lodging. house in Norfolk street, off the
Strand, and left personal estate OF nearly
two millions. But the great object of his
saving seems to have been the paying off
of the debts of his deceased SOC, Lord
Huntingtower.

which constantly regard Lady Waldo

her earnestly to unite herself again with
some one who may deserve to enjoy the
blessings of her society during the many

Lady Waldegrave's own will was an emf

A NEW STORY ABOUT LINCOLN.

1t was during the fercest stages of the
great war of the rebellion that several of our
ministers called on President Lincoln on
an important errand. Mr.. Lincoln re-
ceived them with great courtesy, and gave
them good audience. When the brethren
rose to leave the room, one of them, DR.. L.
Davis, said: Mr.. Lincoln, you have been
very kind and painstaking to answer our
questions. We have yet one which our
people are deeply interested in, and which
we wish to put before you for an answer.
What do you here at Washington intend
to do with slavery" That interrogation
opened a momentous question. Mr.. Lin
coin was ready for the emergency. Rising
to his feet and Strengthening up his bony
form, he said Gentlemen, | will tell
you how it is. The treatment pro.
posed by the officials here for the
slavery question is about like what
would be proposed by set of doctors for
a wen on person. There is man with
a large ugly wen on his person. He con-
suits number of physicians about it.
They all agree as to two things. They all
agree that it is a wen that is the first
thing They all agree that it must come
off. About the method of removing it
they do not agree. One says the best way
is to put the knife into it, and with the
knife remove it, One advises powerful
external applications with view to its
removal. Another thinks the better way
is to put a cord tightly around it and every
day draw it tighter, until at last sever.
ance will of itself occur. That. gentle
men, is just the way it is here with US.
We are all agreed that slavery is wen on
the Government. We are all agreed that
it must come off. We are not agreed
about how to do it, With this the clergy
men shook heartily the hand of the good
President and went away.

hard-hearted, and preached me long SER
mon on charity. Now let me say few
remarks. In de fust place poo people am
jis as much fixture in dis world as de sun

A REMARKABLE YEAR.

Viewed from business standpoint, the
past year has been a remarkable one, prob
ably the most remarkable in the history OF
the country. There has been great revival
in trade, and the volume of legitimate
business during the year was beyond all
precedent. This improved condition of
a good export demand for our products,
the growth of the country, the heavy in
hux of gold from Europe, and the complete
restoration of confidence, growing out
of the success of specie payments. One
of the inost gratifying features of 1880
has been the greatest falling off in the
number of failures and amount of liza
bilities of suspended merchants. The
growth of the country and the large
additions to the national wealth
during 1880 are strikingly illus
trated in the products of the soil, of
which we raised 100000 600 bushels of
wheat, l55, 900, 0003 bushels of corn, 4l3,-
000 600 bushels of oats, "a 600, 600 of rye,
40,000,0 900 bushels of barley, and 6,000,-
600 bales of cotton, to say nothing of the
tobacco, sugar, rice, hemp, hay, and other
crops and the hogs and the dairy
products, which will yield an i'm
mense sum of money in the aggregate.
In plain words, the United States now
raises enough to feed her own 100000
of people and to supply the deficiency of
the balance of the civilized world. During
the year more miles of railroad have been
built, more consultations and combina-
tions have been entered into, more freight
and passengers have been transported, more
money earned and more interest and divi-
dends paid than in any former year. The
commerce of the country during the year
has made rapid progress, and caused the
United States to take still higher rank,
being now third among the commercial ma
tions of the globe Evening Express.

THE VALLEY OF ANGRoGNA.

The Waldensian valleys are now easily
accessible from Turin by railway from
Pignerol, whence road, traversed by a
diligence daily, takes the traveller to La
Tour, the Capital of The district It is sit
uated at the entrance of the Valley of
Lusurna or Val Pellice to the left, and of
Angrogna to the right. Beyond Angrogna,
and parallel with it, but separated by a
range of nights, is the Valley of Perouse,
from which opens the Valley of st. Mar
tin Even apart from the stirring his
torical associations which make every spot
memorable, the home of the Vaudois well
deserves and repays visit. Nowhere in
the Alps is there to be found more glo-
rious combination of richness and beauty
in the lower valleys, and wild mag
ni6cence and sublimity in the higher
peaks and passes. Except at its
upper extremity, the mountains of the Val
Angrogna are covered, up to their very
SUBMITS, with trees; bold masses of rock
rising from out of the foliage into splintered
peaks. The lower portion has considerable
patches of cultivated ground. The
meadows are enameled with the white,
sweet-scented narcissus, cleaning like
pearls on green velvet As the valley mar.
rows, the path winds under cliffs, where
saponaria and the rhododendron dis
play their flowers, whilst moist hooks offer
abundance of the Alpine auricula, and
deep-blue gentian flowers. One cannot
imagine more delightful combination of
wooded mountain, and nesting ham,
lets, and craggy peaks, and, far be-
yond, those dazzling SHOWS which rise over
all into the deep-blue sky. Angrogna is
not only memorable for it's scenery, but for
its heroine defense by the Vaudois.

PATTERNS BY GENERALIZATION. = The
curious arabasques produced on window
panes by frost have suggested to French
inventor system of obtaining designs for
printed stuffs by capitalization. He has
made experiments with solutions of sui
phate of zinc, copper, iron, alumina, and
magnesia, into which plates of glass were
STEPPED, and then allowed to dry slowly at
different temperatures. The crystals thus
deposited formed great variety Of fanci-
full figures, flowers, feathers, stars, etc.
These may be fixed by an addition of al
bumen or gelatine. If copper plates are
used, the designs thus obtained may also
be made permanent by electrotyping. The
great difficulty is to obtain continuous pat
terms to be reproduced on the cylinders
used for printing but that may be over
come by using cylindrical plates of copper,
and turning them on their axes while the
evaporation is going On. The crystalliza-
ton is, however, frequently irregular and
leaves blank spaces which spoil the har.
mony of the design, but this defect will
probably be overcome by experience It is
not certain that the method has yet been
practically employed but the idea is ingeni-
Gus, and probably will be eventually turned
10 account,
