It B U K L 1 Q K T 11 Y. JACKSON IS DEAD. Tlit following poom, appearing in the New York JJauy Nete, If we lay aside it treasonable tone and adulation of a Rebel, Is one of the ttoct pleasing set of ver-ea that 1ms fallen under our notice for a long time. It l.i almost perfect in rhythm, and breathes the fire of true poetry. To our readers who can endure Its senti rne ta because of its literary excellence, we wo Id commend Its perusal. Jackson is dead I an1 the tears of a nation Rise with the praters of the millions that pray, Jacki-on ia dead I and lh sad revelation Lilt" the sweet incense from altars to day. Liberty bent o'er her chsmipiou sleepme, And tbrieked aa the conqueror tied Irotu the earth ; Ills country beside his sttll coffin is weepinst Tear drops ot blood from the land of his birth. Jackson is dead ! weep, matron and maiden, For him who his life lor your safety did spend; Weep o'er the urn with his honored dust laden, The hero, the huiband. the lather, and friend. Weep, lor his arm was wfel led to save you From insult aud outrage, Irotn ruin and shame Weep, tor his life he wiKlnely gave you, A stranger to fortune, a spurner of fame. Jackson is dead I and the camp is in mourning, lta veterans honored by many a scar; And warriors who, lite and suffering scorning, 11a' e breasted the angry tornado ol war, Bow down their heads when they hear his namt spoken, And weep scalding tears for the hero they love, And kneeling they pray that the spirit, now broken, Kay kindle its flamo the hero's above. Jackton is dead I Bear softly his ashes, And lay them to rest nonr Mount Vernon's green vale. He hears not the cannon, h, heeds not their flashes, For Washington greets him a happy "All hail." Together they sleep, proud rivals in plory, No longer they toil where the wild carnage raves; But history gilds the bright laurel of story To beam with new lustre above the twin graves. Jackson is dead ! Disturb not his slumber, But smooth the solt pillow that raises his head; While living he spumed the loul foe without number, Let not their pollution disturb him when dead 1 Then, soldiers, come swear, and the oath as you word it, Let aimels record with their pens from on high, Swear by your swords, and God shall record it, Swear to avenge him, or by him lo die ! Jackson is dead ! place the bod on his bosom, The wreath of his glory let history twine; For his grave shall be sought by the pilgrims of freedom, The Mecca of nations, his proud country's shrine. Then, youth, maid, and matron, and grandsires hoary, Kneel by his grave, 'tis blessed and free; Great in his goodness, and good in his glory, The spot where he sleeps must be sacred to thee. Jackson is dead ! and the ancels in heaven Gather to welcome his soul fiom the sod, And strewing his path with celestial liowers, They lead him with songs to the presence of God: And blushing he takes the bright crown with the greeting He hears in the voice of Jehovah alone Then heaven applauds, and the angels repeating The sentence eternal : "Good "servant, well done." NOTES ON SCIENCE. PHOTO-LITHOGRAPHY. Mr. J. V. Osborne has invented a method hv which a photograph in lithographic ink adapted jor uitutiiereuce vo stone oy tne usual lithogra phic operation, ready for printing in the ordi nary way, can De executed in the course of a few hours. The process is not adapted to por traits or views taken Irom nature, but it is in tended to reproduce, by the chemical agency ot light, a perlect lac-simile of maps, plans, pen-and-ink drawings, printed documents and en- f ravings. It is confined to black and white rawing, and cannot render halftones, sbadine, india-ink drawings or paintings. Its range is, however, nearly aa great as is required for lithographic work. The process consists in taking a very tine and sharp negative of , any given map or drawing. The positive Irom this is printed in the usual way, upon paper sensitized with bichromate of potash, gelatine, and albumen. The bichromate, in the presence of organic matter, undereoes a physical change in the light,, and is easily adapted to receiving the transier ink. The sun does the copyiuer, and thus secures a perfect reproduction of the ori ginal. . It makes no difference to the pencil of light whether it has to copy a simple or a com plicated drawing both are Jnished in the same ' time; but the lithographer would requires week longer lor one picture than for another. By Mr. Osborne's process a piece of work sent Into the office in the morninu can be lithocraphed and printed in the afternoon. If the inventor can produce all that Is claimed for the process and there semis to be no good reason for doubting the evidence on the subiect it will be a valua ble contribution to the publisher ot illustrated books, aud to the topographical bureau ot the Government. It ought to be thoroughly tried. A gruphotype process has also been recently introduced. It is entirely different from the above. Very fine and pure French chalk is silted upon a zinc plate and subjected to the great force of a hydraulic press. The aitiflcial stone is then properly prepared, aud the picture drawn upon it with peculiar pencils, and the fuuken portions removed by brushes. The chalk is then hardened by being soaked in liquid quartz, and a copy taken with type-metal, ac cording to the usual stereotype process. The metallic copy can be furnished three hours after the completion of the drawing upon the chalk. It it claimed for this method that the expense ol lithographic stoues is avoided, and that a durable stereotype is obtained; whereas, in lithocraphy, the drawing must be removed before a new picture can be begun. A combina tion of photography with this method would seem to offer great advautae.es in the reproduc tion of nil black and whitt 'work. AN AUTOGBAPHIO TELEGRAPHIC APPARATUS. The apparatus invented by Caselli produces autoaraphically telegraphic despatches. It is now in oreration between Paris and Lyons, and will be extended to Marseilles. Tue same appa ratus t an be used for repeating designs. RECOVERY OP PCR1 SILVER PROM PHOTOGRAPH RESIDUES. ' Dr.'Van Monckhoven has published a method first proposed by M. Stas: 1. From old baths Filter, add ammonia until the precinitate is rdimolved, and then saturate with sulpaurous acid gas or add sulphite of ammonia. Heat the liquor to about 104 dee. F ahrenheit for about an hour, when all the sil ver will be precipitated. This silver, after thoroueh wasMnsr, will be pure enough to be dissolved in utric acid in th preparation of nitrate. 3. From washpg The wanning may be col lected in a barreiin which a sheet of copper is placed. The silvw will be precipitated in about twenty-four hours , This can be dissolved in nitrio acid and treaed with ammonia, and sul phite of ammonia , sulphurous acid as. as above, i 3. From paper-Bu the papers one by one, bo as to get a white ai. Weigh! the ashes, and treat them with an equrt WOight of nitric acid diluted with t wice Us ,lume 0f water. All of the dlvr will be disced. It can be pre cipitated by sheet cop,er and recovered a above. THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1G, 18CG. 4.

The Tall Mall Gazette sayj that much interest was excited last year by the discovery of human bones, flint Implements, etc., by Mr. Lain?, in mounds at Caithness The learned interpreta tions of Professor Uuxlcy and Professor Owen were soucht and obtained. The peculiar con struction of the mounds was, elaborately de scribed by Mr. Laing; th adult skeleton was pronounced to have ape-like peculiarities, and the jawbone of an intant which was submitted to i'lofcssor Owen was said to have certain marks which were painfully indicative ot the cannibalistic hiibits of our prehistoric pro genitois. The Ethnological and Anthropologi cal Societies h:id rival discussions, and a great deal of erudite dissertation and debate took place, which is preserved in print. The present slutus of this matter la now stated as lotions: At the lust meeting of the former society, it was trtoadly stated, by several persons who have since examined these mounds, that not anvof them contain any traces ot prehistoric age. 'The harbor mound ia composed almost entirely of limpets; the churchyard mound ot periwinkle sbtlLi I The haibor mound contained a pair of weaver's t-hears, aud was itself the ruins ot a common loro-kiln of the couutry. The stone implements were said to be chips such as may be collected by the barrowtul. The Birkle Hills, instead of being places of worship and sacrifice, were tuonpbt to be natural hillocks ot blown fand, which had served as the rendezvous of country folks on occasion of wrecks. The ape like tkileton is declared to bo th remains ol a Dunish seaman; and the jawbone of a child, which atlorued iudicatious ol cannibalism, to have been lorrowed from a neighboring churcn rd. Coins are said to have been found among these "pn historic" remains, belonging, not to 1 beige oi the great auk, but to the reigu of V ill'u.m III. The controversy on the authenticity of 1 he Abbeville jawbone will probably facie before the battle over these mouuds at Kelss. OZONE. M. Sorct has determined that the donsity of o.onc la one ann a halt tunes greater than that of oxygen. Dr. Boeckel, of Strasburg, has shown Irom observations conducted during a period of eleven years: 1. That there is more ozone in the spring of the year. 2. That May Is the richest month. 8. 1 bat October and Novemocr are the poorest. 4 That there 1 less ozone at night tlun dunng the day. 6. That certain years wore rich in ozone 1862. 1803. 6. That the barometric variations, morning and evening, coincided with the variations in tho quanti ties of ozono. ARTIFICIAL MEERSCHAUM. One hundred parte, by weight, of concentrated soluble glass (35 dep.), sixty parts ol carbonate ot mapnesia and eighty parts of finely pulve rized meerschaum are ground together and bolted. The powder is then stirred into a paste in water, and left about ten minutes, and cast into a mould. Any shade of color could be mixed in with the powder, and thus the hpavy labor ot coloring a meerschaum pioe be spared to many a youthful smoker. It i said that genuine meerschaum will float fer some time on water; but the above mixture would be likelv to sink at once. MANUFACTURE OF SOAP. The Wnufacture of soap and of oils Is the chief industry of Marseilles. There are sixty two lare establishments. The annual con sumption of material is a.s follows:' Oil seed 234.000,000 lbs. Olive oil ; 83.000,000 " Crude sulphur 55,0il0,0il0 " Soda 03 600 000 " Nitrate of soda 6,8H0,000 " Salt 80 800,000 " Oil 400,000,000 " ' GEOGRAPHY. At: a meeting of tue Royal Geographicil Society in London, on the 23d of April, Sir Roderick Murchison announced that more favor able accounts hud now been received ol the ex pedition which had been sent into the Interior of Australia, under the leadership of Mr. Mcln tyre, in search of remains of Dr. Loichhardt's party. The search expedition had suffered much inrougn ttio severe aroueht ot the rmst vear. and had lost all its horses in the neighborhood of Cooper's creek; but the camels were preserved, and the losses had not prevented the party from continuing its march towards the northwest.
