English. Irish. and SCOTCH.

Looking at the population Of tao three
kingdoms, it may easily be perceived
that there 8 considerable difference
among them as to temperament. The
Irish are gay, ardent; the Scotch are COM
paratively cool, steady, and cautious; the
English are perhaps fair average be-
tween the two. We remember that it
was not inelegantly observed by friend
that an Engishman thinks aud speaks;
and an Irishman speaks before he thinks.
A lady present added: "a Scotchman
thinks with his head, an Irishman with
his heart" This allusion to impulse
operating more rapidly than deliberation
Is kin to Miss Edgworth's remark that
an Irishman may err with his head, never
with his heart, one truth, however being
that he obeyed his heart, not always
waiting for the dictates OF his head.
Some years ago there was a caricature
very graphically portraying these grades
OF difference in the order OF the nations.
An Englshman, an Irishman, and
Scotchman were represented as looking
through confectioner's window ut a
beautiful young woman who. was serving
in the shop. "Oh" exclaimed MIR. Pat
rick, "do let us be spending half
crown with the dear crayture, that We
may look at her conveniently and have
a bit OF chat with her" lyon extrava-
CANT dog" said MIR. George. I'm sure
one-half the money would do quite as
well. But let lbs go in by all means;
she is a very charming girl" "Ah! wait
a weel," interposed Mr.. Anderson; ''din-
Ma We ken it'll serve our purpose equally
weel TO ask the bonnie lassie to give us
twa sixpences for shilling, and enquire
wher's Mr.. Thompson's house and sic
like? We're no hungry, and may as
well save the Riller."

| the counties in which the whites are in a majority are entitled to twenty-four mem l bers, and the counties in which the colored
 men are in majority are entitled to one l hundred members. The objection is made 1 that education and wealth are not properly 1 represented under the present plan of repre- sentation Charleston, for example, does one-twentieth of the tax-levying and one 1 sixth of the tax-paying of the State. Before the negroes were given the ballot the rule was to allow one member for every 62d part cf the White population and one member for every 5ed part of the taxes raised. It is now I proposed to allow @ members in proportion to population and 62 members in proportion to the amount of real and personal property. It is difficult to determine what effect this would have upon the political influence of the negroes. The apportionment of popula- tion would be to their advantage, but the property apportionment is different matter. Mir. John Rae writes in Nature: I know from personal experience that saline fluid does under certain circumstances, percolate or fltrate downward, c.sverting sea ice, previously saline, into a sufficiently fresh otetO oo st4OII BOOl Wdt6E Wu0H thawed. This discovery, like good many others of more importance, accidental In passing piece of ol;i ice-that is, of former years formation, which was known to be so by it's wasted and rugged outline, as it stood some feet above the sur..unding
 level ice foe-I knocked smal1 ,s%s off,
 and on putting it into my mouth found it
 quite fresh. From that time, during sledge
 journeys of 200 miles in the spring of 1847,
 I looked out for some old rough ice, before
 building our snow hut for the nights shelter,
 so as to get water quickly. Experience had
 taught me that kettleful of water could be
 obtained much more rapidly and at far
 less waste of fuel by thawing ice than from
 snow, because the latter, however closely
 packed, contained much air, which, at 8 temperature of zero or lower, required extra
 fuel to warm it up to 320 Fahrenheit; a ket-
 tleful of snow will give little more than 8
 third of a kettleful of water. while the same
 measure of ice will nearly fill the kettle with water

 sWhat's new in the boot and shoe busi- nessa"
 Prospects good. Fewer failures in the last six months than ever before, but we ale introducing q new system with regard to travelling men-something in the nature of a reform You know that heretofore travel ling men were sent out with samples, and were supposed to take certain route. Well, from time to time orders came in, and by and by, in the course of two or three months, the man turned up. But we never could tell where he was. He was like the Irishmans flea. He might be telling stories in Omaha, singing songs in Yokohama, firt- ing with 8 married woman ill Hong Kong, or chasing porpoise on the sand bars of New Jersey. It was terrible on the house. We'll, now, there are 250 travelling men that go out from Cincinnati in the boot and shoe trade alone, drawing salaries to the amount of S50O, 900. Now each of these travelling men is provided with a number of pos tai cards endorsed to the home house, on the backs are blanks for statements show ing when tha gent arrived, when he leaves, his destination. where he received mail, and orders mailed eaah day. Then, besides this, the agent makes weekly report, which is designed to facilitate the work at the office by having the accounts Of the travelling men in permanent form convenient for refer ence, but it is also intended to make it a record to which the officers of the company can refer at any subsequent time and know what parties were solicited and interviewed. The wholesale clothing men have had some thing like it for over year."
