is represented as engaged in his favorite sports
capturing the buffalo, pursuing the moose and
deer, and cultivatng his corn and tobacco The
first panel of the second story is in high relief
The white man appears cutting his way into the
dense forest, with hope and prosperity beamng on
bis countenance. In a corner of the same panel
the Indian is seen retiring-ooking wistfully back
10th to leave his hunting grounds, but obliged to
fly before the face of civilization In the second
panel the white man has cleared away the trees
erected his log cabin and is cultvating his ground
symbolic of which are seen his oxen and plow. To
show some of the difficulties which he had to encoun
ter here and there from behind the trees the Indian
is seen shooting him down with the very rifle which
the white man taught him to use This leads to
war. The next panel shows the battle with the In
dlans-man to man, arm to arm-but the white
man is represented gaining the ascendancy.-
The next presents the symbols of his progress in
agriculture, commerce and the arts, and his com
parative power and Independence At this stage
fresh difficulties arise, and these are the troubles
with the mother country. The next succeeding
panel exhibits the three shiploads of tea in Boston





ing the tea overheard. The next panel is the
signing of the Declaration of Independence. This
brings us to the third epoch the Revolutionary
War.


The third story is in full relief. Washiugton's
generals appear of the size of life. Eight of them
are mounted on horseback; the rest represented
in groups, as if in consultation, holding a council
of war.


The crowning figure in this great historical rep
resentation is the statue of the Father of his Coun
try, represented as he appeared at the battle OF
Princeton, where, after attempting several times in
vain to rally his troops, he put spurs his horse
and dashes up to the cannon's mouth. His terror
stricken horse stops and recoils while the balls
tear up the earth beneath his feet; but Washing
ton, cool, calm collected, and dignifed believing
himself simply an instrument in the hands of Prov
idence to work out the great problem of liberty,
remains firmly seated, like god upon his throne.
The repose of the hero at this moment of imminent
peril to his life contrasts admirably with the fear
full agitation manifested by his noble but unreason-
ing steed who is sustained by Of the consider
ations which impart courage to the hero and the
Christian.

BURNED TO DEATH.-At New Brunswick, N j..
on Wednesday night of last week, poor homeless
wanderer went to OF the limekins at that place
to sleep, and by some means fell into the fire and

flesh was burned from his body; one leg and arm
were entirely consumed, and portion of the ribs
left bare.

ASSOCIATION OF THE SExEs.-The
ntaural and only safe mode Of enjoy
inc amusement, is in common. Where
one sex, or any one particular class,
enjoy their amusements alone, they
are to run into excess. The division
Of the human family into man, woman
and child. father, mother. brother and
sister is the only conservative princi-
pie; they act and react upon each
other like the different seasons of the
earth. Each age and each sex has its
peculiar characteristics, that serve te
modify and check certain mischievous
tendencies in the other sex, and il
others of different ages. For one se'
to attempt to amuse themselves agree


ably and innoeently. alone, is like try
ing to make music on one-stringe'

ALWAYS timely and not seldom obtrusive One
day Blossom had received from New York some
very large, fine Holsters. and had served them up
TO one or two of his friends sitting Mt his fivorite

hIs teeth, except long eve TOOTH that stood senti

'What is them red things Blossom - he asked


" Lohsters, replied the host. s. Did you ever

Here ne gave him huge claw. and told him to
" go to work upon that"


He put one end of it in his mouth and began TO
humble 1t over without making any very great
progress


90 How do you like it," said Blossom who with
his friends were ready TO split their sides with
laughing. They had helped themselves to some
other dish and were waiting for their portion of
the lobster.


"Can't tell yet," said the other. How do
you at that thing anyhow ~


"Oh. eat it right down. said Blossom s'neyer
mind the bones"


By this time the man with his one sharp tooth
had succeeded in drilling hole through the meat
Having established suction as Blossom saw, he
asked him again:

A great deal of nonsense has been uttered by
sensation lecturers and magazine writer about won
dertul arts which perished with the ancients To
trust IN the lamentations of these wiseacres over
the ' lost arts one would think we had fallen
upon very degenerate times indeed. But none of
the doleful stories are true. Cleopatra no doubt,
was very fine woman but she never dissolved
pearls IN wine. Arehimedes was a great man in
his day. but he never set fire TO the Roman ships
with burning glasses as the fable relates.


The anclents had no useful arts which we do not
understand better and practice more sklfully than
they did. The humblest American mechanic could
teach the polished Greek and the cunning Egyptian
sciences and arts of which they never dreamed.
The ancients, indeed. did many wonderful things
which have not been since repeated but they were
only such things not worth doing over again.
If we had occasion TO build such foolish thing as
pyramid, we would improve on our model in
every respect and instead Of keeping hundred
thousand halfstarved slaves at the work for twenty
years, we would turn it out finished in few
months George Law and hundred others would
be willing to take the contract at days notice.


Ii any people, nowadays, lived in a condition
like the ancents, they would be objects for sincere
pity, and it would be our duty speedily to send
missionaries among them. What lamentable
sight would be nation of great mental vigor,
half-clOthed and poorly fed, tilng the earth with
wooden pows; without soap, pins, friction matches
or inda-ruhberl How queenly would one of our
factory girls appear To them How magical the
art of Yankee clock-makerl Beggars, now-a-
days. with regard TO the substantial comforts Of
life. fare better than ancient kings.


Our modern civilization is surely just what is
suited for the welfare of humanity. The steam
engine. politics, electricity. morality. and every
good thing move on together harmOniously. We
look hack into the past, to note, as warnings the
paths of error which our predecessors trod and we
push on rheerfully and confidently, feeling that
the present and the future are Of the utmost i'm
pOrtanee TO us.

B% Some of the Democracy, who feel re-
vengeful against the Volksbote for the eff
cient service that paper has done against
the party in this campaign, have brought u
charge against its editor, Mr.. Foster, of
having tried to vote on Tuesday Illegally
Mr.. Foster had not been here quite the
six months required to constitute a legal
voter. He denies positively and solemnly
the charge of having tried to vote, and de-
fes those who state that he did, to prove
their assertion. He says he can clear hinl-
self of such charge by sufficient evidence
if called upon to do so.


We are acquainted with Mr.. Foster, and
have fuHconfdenee in his word. We do
not believe he would try to vote unless his
right to do so was clear and indisputable.
The Democracy have justly incurred the
suspicion of voting or intending to vote un-
qualified persons, and seek by this hue and
cry against Mr.. Foster to direct attention

BeS~ For several days, workmen have
been engaged in tearing down the steeple of
the German Catholic Church. The neces-
sity of this grew out of the fact that it en-
dangered the safety of the building. In a
high wind the cupola not only moved, itself,
but also shook the whole building to its
very foundations. The appreciation of taking
it down before any damage is done, is high
