MIR. Miller in Petersburg and Richmond.


The Petersburg papers speak in glowing terms of
'Mr Miller's great effort in behalf of Mount Yer
non" in that place The Express gives sketch of
the grafton, and concludes as fallows:


'The latter portion of Mr.. Miller's discourse was
a highly-wrought and fervently- uttered apotheoss
Of Washington, whose majestic image he recognised
in the ParthenOn of the ages above the statues of
Marlborough, and Frederick and Napoleon. We
cGnnot presume to give even an outline of this fine
peroration and fear that we have done great in
justice to the discourse in the rapid sketch we have
here taken of it. Altogether it was such an effort
as only man of the widest range of reading, of
close habits of thought and study and of singular
ly accurate Judgment could have written, while the
fine voice and impressive manner of Mr.. Miller lent
to it the best charms of elocuton.'


The Wilmington Journal of Wednesday says:


Henry W. Miller, Esq, delivered his lecture on
the Eighteenth Century" last night at Thalian
Hall before a very intelligent audience, by whom
the effort of the gifted orator duly appreciated
Necessarily much of the discourse amounted to a
historical sketch or compendium of the men and
women, dongs and sayings of the last Gentry. To
impart to this anything Of picturesque interest re-
quires the highest talent for word painting in
many portions of his address Mr.. Miller showed
that he did possess this power and elected the ad
mring applause of his audience.


Mr.. Miller's address occupied about an hour and a
half in the delivery during which the speaker was
compelled to adhere pretty closely to his notes. his
pressing professional engagements not permitting
him to devote the time necessary to memorize it.
TO compare it with Mr. Everetts production might
be invidous, and could hardly be just to either
gentleman. We would be forced to dwell quite as
much upon the contrasts between them as upon
their resemblances. 1t would be unjust to expect
from lawyer, actively engaged in the duties of his
profession, that elaborate finish that we find in
scholar like Mr.. Everett with all the resources of
lettered ease at his command Neither could the
gestures be as carefully regulated But for all that
the fire of intellect pervades Mr.. Mer's lecture
1t leaves the impression of strength and power Its
illustrations are forclbe and generally eloquent. He
draws pictures of the eighteenth century-of its
men and its transactions which prove that instead
of being, as Carlisle charged, mere link uniting
parts of history but having interest of its own
it was on the contrary, emphatcaly great century,
distinguished by the vast strides made towards a
more proper understanding of human right. Eng
land, America and Europe produced great men, but
the central figure was WASHINGTON, towering head
and shoulders above all others because of his perfect
purity of mind and character"

faith, and with expectation that it would be Ia
bled OF rejected; and the fact that he withdrew
it-not because, as the paper referred to by our
correspondent insinuates, he feared it would be
tabled, but to relieve the Convention from dis
cusson of it and to promote harmony-is the
best evidence of the disposition by which he was
actuated Indeed, Mr.. Bledsoe stated in withdraw
ing the resolution that he did to prevent the
appearance Of want Of harmony in the Conven-
tion. 1t is by no means certain that the reso-
luton would have been laid upon the table; but if
it had been that would not in our opinion have
been conclusive indication that the Convention was
opposed to it. We believe the Democracy of the
District are true as heretofore to the great
principle Of non-ntervention and to the rights of
the South in the common Territories. We can
readily understand why the resolution was with
drawn, but We do not know why it was not adopted.
The disposition which was manifested to table it re-
suited doubt, first, from the fact that the Com
mttee had reported no resolution of the kind;
secondly from the fact that the position of the Dem
ocratic party was regarded sufficiently well known
on the subject; and thirdly from the want of time,
as many of the members wished to leave in the two
o'clock train. 1t was also probably apprehended
that prolonged discussion on the subject might
create some feeling among those who differed as to
the proper construction of the Kansas Nebraska act


That is all We know or presume about it-and if
we have done any good Democrat injustice, stand
prepared to correct, withdraw, or explain


We are under obligations to an esteemed
correspondent for interesting sketch of the ex-
cursion to Franklinton, on Wednesday last The
spectacle presented at the depot the train moved
off, filled with hundreds of children, was indeed
beautiful


We understand this festival was given to the
children in lieu of that usually held on the Fourth
of July. May celebration is decidedly preferable
to one in July, when the weather is oppressive to
all, and especially to the children, who aciU go
through the entire programme of the day.


The crowd Of passengers from the west on We'd
nesday morning was great that the Conductor of
the regular train the CASTOR Road was compelled
to deprive the excursonists of one of their trains
But Mr. Fisher, the President of the Central Road,
happening to be at the depot, politely rendered two
of his to the Conductor of the excursion train
and but for this timely aid, nearly one-haf of the
children and their friends would have been left.


Those of our citizens who visited Franklinton
with the children speak in the highest terms of the
hospitality of the people of that place.

$1,000 per thousand feet for freight, perhaps
much less. The original cost would be about
the same, making the whole cost here s24,00,
or about 1--WE ty dollars less than we now pay.


We suffer at present enormously from the
high tariff Of charges paid on freight crossing
the Gulf. A freight bill was lately seen by us
in which one dollar per barrel for dry barrels
had been charged and we have freight bills
in our possession where the freight charged
by the steamer is more than the amount paid
on the same freight to the wagoner. At this

a severe oppression, and deserving the public

Why is rain water soft Because it
is not impregnated with earth and min
erals.


Why is it more easy to wash with soft
water than with hard ? Because soft
water unites freely with soap and dissolves
it, instead of decomposing it as hard wa
ter does.


Why do wood ashes make hard water
soft? First, because the carbonic acid
of wood ashes combines with the sulphate
Of lime in the hard water, and converts
it into chalk second, wood ashes also
convert some Of the soluble salts of wa
ter into insoluble, and throw them down
as sediment by which the water re-
mains more pure.


Why has rain water such an unpleas

weather ? That fresh particles Of air
may be brought in contact with their
faces by the action of the fan t; and as
every fresh particle of air absorbs some
heat from the skin, this constant change
makes them cool.


Does fan cool the air !? No, it makes
the air hotter, by imparting to it the heat
from our face but it cools our face by
transferring its heat to the air.


Why is there always a strong draft
under the door and through the crevices
on each side ? Because cold air rushes
from the hall to supply the void in the
room caused by the escape of warm air
up the chimney or through the stove.


Why is there always strong draft Of
air through the key hole of a door ? Be-
cause the air in the room we occapy is
warmer than the air in the hall, therefore
the air from the hall rushes through the
key hole into the room, and causes a
draft.


Why is there always a draft through
the windows crevices? Because the
external air, being colder than the air of
the room We occupy rushes through the
window crevices to supply the deficiency
caused by the escape Of the warm air up
the chimney, dc.


Ifyou open the lower sash of window,
there is more draft than if you open the
upper sash. Explain the reason of this.
If the lower sash be open. the cold ex-
ternal air will rush freely Into the room
and cause great draft inward but if
the upper sash be open, the heated air OF
the room rushes out, and Of course,
there will be less draft inward.


Why is room best ventilated by open
ing the upper sash Because the hot.
yiliated air. which always ascends tow
ards the ceiling, can escape more easily.


By which means is hot room moic
quickly cooled-by opening the upper
or lower sash ? A hot room is cooled
more quickly by opening the lower sash,
because the outer air can enter more
freely into the lower part of the room.
where il is colder.


Why does the wind dry damp linen ?
Because dry wind. like dry sponge, i'm
bibes the PARTICLES of vapor from the
surface of the linen as fast rs they are
formed. 81


Which is the hottest place in church
or chapel? The gallery.


Why is the gallery OF all public places
hotter than the lower parts of the build

windows keeps to the floor till il has be-
come heated - Scientific Americua
