BARON WEssENBERG: We may despise the
world, but we cannot do without it.
LANDoR: The foundation of domestic
happiness is faith in the virtue of woman.
Cotton: Count the world not an inn but
a hospital; and place not to live in but to
die in.
WHATELY: Woman is like the reed which
bends to every breeze, but breaks not in the
tempest.
SIR WALTER RALEIGH: The world is but a
large prison, out of which some are daily Sc
lected for execution.
JUNIUs: There is a holy mistaken zeal in
politics as well as religion. In persuading
others we convince ourselves.
BURKE: War suspends the rules of moral
obligation, and what is long suspended is
in danger of being totally abrogated. Civil
way strikes deepest of all into the manners
of the people.
CECIL: We are to avoid danger rathar than
oppose it, This is great doctrine OF Scrip
ture. An active force against the world is
not so much inculcated as a retiring, declin
ing spirit. Keep myself unspotted from the
world.
Cotton: women that are the least bashful
are not unfrequently the most modest; and
we are never more deceived than when we
would infer any laxity of principle from that
freedom of demeanor which often arises
from total ignorance of vice.
A PHILADELPHIA journal says-In order
to dissipate theories that the vitreous particles
found in the snowfall of January 20, might
have proceeded from iron or steel works or
from chimneys, Joseph Wharton has made
an examination of samples of dust from
the steel works and iron blast furnace of
Bethlehem. Mr.. Wharton attributed the re-
cent sunset glows to volcanic dust, particles
which he claims to have found in the snow
near his suburban residence. In reference
to his last research he states that in the snow
fall of January 20, the dust PARTICLES possessed
the characteristics of volcanic glass as did al
so some pumice which had settled on a YES
sci in the Indian Ocean, near Kraikota. The
furnace dust had strongly marked dissimilari-
tiles from the other PARTICLES. These compari-
sons, Mr.. Wharton contends, greatly enhance
he probability that the snow dust was of vol
canic origin.

Yet, says great authority on the subject,
although we grow eight times as much wine
as we import, and can reckon the wine con-
sumed, at about 40, 100000 gallons in the
rough. we sell 90, 600, 900 gallons of quasi
European wines every year to consumers.

Americon wines, or even more, allowing for
small percentage of sales of genuine French

Now it is said that the Bartholdi pedestal
will cost not less than $40, 900, instead OF
S25O,O0O as was expected. The granite
alone will cost 100000. The sum of $40

dation, and it is but little more than two
thirds finished.

General Sherman, when a lad, was adopted
