Similarly it may he said not as an ingenious peculation, but a-s a Htendfust and absolute fact that human calculation cannot limit tha influence of one atom of wholosoino know ledge pationtly acquired, modestly possessud, nd faithfully used. (Cheers.) As tho as tronomers tell us that it is probable there aro in tho universe innumerable solar systems besides ours, to each of which myriads of utterly unknown and unseen slurs belong, so it is certain that every man, however obscure, however fav removed from (he general recog nition, is one of the group of men impressible for good and impressible for evil, and that il is in tho external nature of things that ho can not really improve himself without in some degree improving other men. And observe, this is especially Iho case when ha has im proved himself "in the teeth of adverse cir cumstances, as in a maturity succeeding t a neglected or an ill-taught youth, in the i'ev daily hours remaining to him after ten or twelve hours' labor, in the fe.'.v pauses and in tervals of n life of toil; for then his fellows and companions taavo assur.mco that ho can have known no favoring conditions, and that they can do what he has done, in wresting lowe enlightenment and self-respect from what Lord Lyltoii finely e.ilU "those twin jailors of the diving heart, low birth and iron fortune.'' Mr. Dickens proceeded: "oYur institution, sixteen years old, and in which masters and workmen study together, has outgrown the ample edifice in which it receives its U.luo or L'liOo members and students. It is a most cheering sign of its vigorous vitality that of its industrial stu dents almost half ure artisans in tho receipt f Meekly wages. I think 1 am correct in aying that four hundred others are clerks, apprentices, tradesmen, or tradesmen's sons. I notice with particular pleasure (he adherence of n goodly uamber of the getitler sex, with out whom no institution whatever can truly claim to be either a civilizing or a civilized one. The iucreased i.'.leiulunce at your edu cational class 's is always greatest on the part the artisans tho class within my experience the least reached in any similar institutions, and whose name is oftenst and (he most constantly taken in vain, i'ut it. is specially reached here, not improbably because it is, as it should be, specially addressed in the foundation of the industrial department, in the allotment of iho direction of the society's fill'aivs, and in tho establish ment of what are called its penny classes a bold, and, I am happy to say, a triumphantly successful experiment, which enables tho artisan to obtain sound evening instruction in subjects directly bearing upon his daily use fulness or on his daily happi'ies'-i, as arithme tic (elementary anil advanced), chemistry, physical geography, and singing, on payment of tiie astounding low fee of a single penny every time he attends tho class. I beo em phatically to say I look upon this as one of the most remarkable! schemes ever devised for the educational behoof of the artisan (cheers), and if your institution had dona nothing else j in all its life, I would tulca my stand by "it on its having done this. (Cheers.) Apart, how- ! ever, from its industrial department, it has 1 its general department, offering all tho ad- ; Tttutages of a iirst-class literary institution, i It has its reading-rooms, its library, ' its chemical laboratory, its museum, ' its art department, its lecture j hall, and its long list of lectures on subjects of comprehensive interest, de- : livertd by lecturers of tho highest qualifica tions. Very well. 15ut it may bo asked, what arc tho practical rosults of those appli ances ? Now, let us suppose a few. Suppose that your institution should btive el'i'-arecl , those who are now its teachers. That would be a very remarkable fact. Supposing, be sides, it should, so to speak, have educated education all around it, by sending forth , numerous and ei'ricient teachers into many and divers schools. Suppose tho young stu dent, reared exclusively in its laboratory, Bhould be presently snapped up for the labo ratory Pf fjiO great famous hospitals. Sup- j pose that in nine year3 its industrial students ( thould have carried off a round, dozou of . iuuch-competed-for prizes awarded by tho So ciety of Arts and Government departments, besides two local prizes originating in tho generosity of a Birmingham man. Suppose that the Town Council, having it in trust to find an artisan well fit to receive the Whit worth prizes, should find him here. Sup pose that one of the industrial students should turn his chemical studies to tho prac tical account of extracting gold from wosto color water and of taking it into custody in the very act of running away with hundreds of pounds down tho town drains. Suppose another should perceive in his books, in Iub studious evening, what was amiss with his master's until then inscrutably defective furnace, and should go straight to the great annual saving of that master and put it all right. Supposing another should puzzle out the nieaus until then quite un known of making a certain description of colored glass. Supposing another should qualify himself to vanquish one by one, as they daily arise, all the little dilliuuities inci dental to his calling as un electro-plater, and should be applied to by his cmpauions in tho shop in all emergencies under the uaiim of the "Encyclopedia." (Laughter and ap plause.) Suppuso a long procession of such cases, and then consider that theso are not suppositious at oil, but are plain, unvar nished facts (hear, hoar), culminating in the one special and siguitieant fact that, with a single solitary exception, every one of the institution's industrial stu dents who have taken i(s prizes within ten years have since climbed to higher situa tions in their way of life. (Hear, hear.) As to the extent to which the institution en courages tho artisan to think, and as, tor in stance, to rise superior to tho little shackling ' prejudices perchance existing in his trade when they will not bear the test of inquiry, that is only to bo equalled by the extent to which it encourages him to feel. There is a certain tone of modest manliness pervuding all the little facts which I have looked through which I found remarkably impressive. A decided objection on the part of industrial students to attend classes in their working clothes breathes this tone as being a grace ful yet at the same time per fectly independent recognition of the place and of one another. And (his tone is ad mirably illustrated in the COM) of a poor brick Ik. layer, who, being in temporary reverses through the ilh ess of his family, had conse quently been iblijed to part with his best clothes; and being therefore missed from his cIohkps, in which he had been noticed as a very hard worker, was porsnaded to attend them in his v orbing clothes, lie replied, "No, it was net possible. It must not bo thought of. It roust not come into quostion for a moment. It would bo supposed, or it might be thought, that he did it to nttiMet at tention." And the same man being oiforsd by one of tho otlicers a loan of money to e li able him to rehabilitate his appearance, posi tively declined, on I he ground that he came to tho institution to learn and to know bolter how to help hinu'lf, not otherwise to ask help, or to reecho help from any man. (Ap plause.) Mr. J i keus then went on to com bat at considerable length tho assertion that tliis in iv inatoi i.il nge, and thus concluded: To tho students of your industrial classes generally 1 have lual it on my mind, first, to commend tho short motto in two words, "Courage pel severance." (Cheers.-) This is tho motto of a friend and worker. Not because the eyes of Iliropo are upon them, for I don't in the least believe it (laughter), not because the yen of even Knglund aro upon them, for 1 don't in tho k'ast believe it; not because (heir doings will be proclaimed with blast of trumpet at street corners, for no such musical performances will take pla'-e (laughter); not because self-improvement is at all certain to lead to worldly sueeevi, but simply because it is good and right of its ih" ( heor, liear), nijd because, being so, it docs assuredly bring with it its own resources and its own rowaras. I would further com mend to them a very wise ond witty piece of advice on the conduct of the understanding w!-.ieh was give'i inure tlrtn half a century n,;o by the llev. r-jdncy Smithwisest' and witti est of tho friends 1 have lost. He s:iys an I he is frpcrsLing, you will please understand, as I speak, to a Jil.ool of volunteer students he says: '11. tie is a piece of foppery vhich is to be cautiously guarded against, tha foppery of uriiver i'lily, of knowing all sci ences, and cxc'H:ng in all arts chemistry, mathematics, a): 1 .a, dancing, history, rea soning, riding." loncing, Low Dutch, High Dutch, and natui;;; philosophy. (Laughter.) In short, the m-.l-rn precept of education very often is. Take the Admn-iblo Ciichton for y'r model. I would have you ignorarl of nothing." ''Nov:, says he, "my udLe, mi the contrary, is to have the courag-: to be ignoiant of a great number of things, in order thai you liny avoid the calamity of beiug iguoraut of every thing." (Lavish! ' end cheers.) To thii I would superadd a oitle tru'h, which holds equally good of my own life and tho life of every eminent mi ii I have ever known. The one serviceable, safe certain, r maiier.it u'o, attainable quidoy ii '-very study avA in every pursuit is the m" 'dy of .itteiition.

In reference (o tho appropriate and excellent remarks of Mr. Diton, 1 will now discharge my conscience of my political creed, which is co itained in two nrik-les, and has no reference to any party or persons.

The progress of exploration among the high mountain ranges of Western America is nar rowing down the question as to where is tho highest mountain pe.'di in the republic. The Jtocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevadas, tho latter's extension through Oregon, the C... cades, and their f'uthev extension it;, British America, and Alaska, luive all beon contes tants for this distinction; and very wild state ments have been made of tho heights of the representative peaks of each of these sections. Several peaks need yet to ba more accurately measured before the contest is fully closed: but at present California, in her M.iunt Whitney, carried off tho polm. This mountain, which lies in the Sierra Nevada rang.-, in tho southern part of the State, was a.c uded by Mr. King, one of the Slate geological survey, in Die summer of ISM, to a point of ll,7b feet in height, where ho took accurate measurements. Jie yond that point the peak was inaccessible;" but his skilled judgment was, that the sum mit rose from three to four hundred feet above him. and he therefore reports Mount Whitney as l.'i.ooo feel high a claim which maybe held to be substantially correct. Li the neighborhood of Mount Whitney are Mount Lyell. 1 1 7 feet high, Dana l":i,i'r, Brewer :J,.m;. and Tyndall l'l,:;si; f()et. But next to Mount Whitney, in California, stands Mount Shasta, iu tho northern purl of the State, and perhaps tho most magnificent snow-covered mountain in the United States. It is I t, I to feet high, and is apparently des tined, more Mum any other mountain in Mm republic, to become the object of curious in terest and pleasure-seeking for travellers. Mount Hood, its Oregon rival, and nearly its equal in bounty of shape and extent of snow helds, is but 11, -:.'.-. feet high, j Mounts Baker and Jlaincr, still further north in Washington Territory, uro respectively 1(1, 7SO feet and ., io feet high. They aro also distinguished for the extent and niig niticence of their perpetual snow field's. The encyclopedia puts down two moun tains (still further north in British Columbia) Brown and I looker us being l."i,!)t)i) Uud l.,7)) feet high, v. spoctively; but they prove never to have been accurately measured, and these figures are but the wildest guesses of superficial travellers, no more to bo depended upon than the claim of tho Oregoniaus to a height of over 17,000 feet for Mount Hood. which has only been overthrown within the lust thre,e years. It is not probable that either of these peaks in British America ascend so high as either Shasta or Whitney, in Califor nia; but still they noed to be accurately mea sured before the question cm beh d l to !' finally clot xd ogiiimit them. So, too, of Mount St. F.lias in our n-v territory of Alimka. Heights if J ,(( and 17,0(0 feet have been claimed by travellers, and soberly put down in books for this grand old volcano. But the measurement of hir E. Belcher, which is tho highest, put forth by any one of respectable authority, claims oniy 1 1,!70 feet for it, and other observers make it much lower. The mountain has really never been accurately measured. Thus stands the case in tho Taeific coast States r.nd Territories. Of tlm const moun tains in California, no one rises above 5000 feet, that being the figure foiTunacho Graudo. Mount tv,d(lo, so conspicuous an object in the country about San Francisco, is but :.s"7 feet hgh. Coming east to the Boeky M mnfaiuH. Colo rado, which holds the highest puaks of Mut, rouge, has four mountains which nrn pretty certainly between 1 1,000 and 1 1, ..00 ioetencli. There live Long's, Gray's and riko'iil'e.iks, and Mount Lincoln. Dr. Parry, of St. Louis, has mado the most reliable measurement of tho Colorodion Heights; but since one. of tho baro meters which ho depended upon for the cal culations was stationed at St. Louis, there was some liability to error evea iu the most fiecuiate of his ligures. He measured the lower of tiie two Gray's l'ei-.ks. and made it II, I'M feet. The other, to winch ho endea vored to give the name of Torrey's Teak, hut which the people of Colorado join with its twin in the same name of Gray, is evi dently from one to two hundred feet higher, but has not been accurately measured. Tike's Beak is reported by Dr. Barry at 1 I.LMd feci, and by i'remont, who ascended it, at 1 1, ."00 feet. Mount Lincoln has never been pccurr?fely measured, though often ase.jude 1. It is more likely to be lower then higher than Oray'n Beai-rs. Dr. l'arry did not .succeed in reiubing the summit of Long's 1'eak, but made an approximate measurement, which he reported at 1 l.0,".(i feet. But this last seic-on the first successful ascent of tho notable mountain was mado by l'rofcssor Powell and Mr. Byers, of the Boeky Mountain JVitr.i; and their measurement, tiie lir.t reliable one ever made, gives tho lignres of 1 1,'J'O feet. Tho New York X!iin, therefore, showed more piesumptiou than knowledge, when it undertook to criticize Mr. Bowles, in his "Switzerland of America," for not being more exact in reporting the heights of tho lending mountains in Colorado. Tho jtf.ii'H says "he ought to have known that Long's Peak was 1 -I,. '()( feet," which, in fact, nobody did or could know outside of the s,ilio:i office. There are numerous other peaks in Colo rado of bl.OOO feet and upward. Among these are Mount Audehim 1, Vcilios PeaY, Mount Guyot, and Parry's Peak; while those of ten, ilevcu, and twelve thousand feet iu height lie everywhere about iu tho central poitions of the. tcriitory. To the west of tho peaks, constituting the dividing range of tho continent, lies p. huge mo -.retain known on the maps ns SopriV. Peak, ft seems, both from the summits of Gray anil Lincoln, to be still higher than those. Il never has beeu measured, and though its apparent superi ority may arise from tho comparative, lowness , of tho peaks direct'y nrornd it, the people of the neighborhood will not yield their possible right to claim for Colorado the highest moun tain peak in the United Slab's, until nr-tnal measurement of Sopri's Peak shall decide it against them. The question, as it now stands, seenH therefore nai rowed down to Sopri'e Peak and Mount Whitney, in California, 'i'lio peaks of tiie Kocky Mountain range, north ot Colo rado, in Montana mul beyond, oner uo com petition to those of the former territory. But when we annex Mexico, that country will bear off the palm in North America for the highest mountain peeks. She has, too, Popo catepetl and Orizaba, whoso heights seem to be definitely settled at 17,7-0 feet and 17,. 'MO feet, respectively. There is nothing in our mountain ranges in the Atlantic States to at all compare with any of these figures. Mounts Clingman and Mitchell, in North Carolina, O'.Ho and !7;2 feet respectively, are tho highest mountains east of the Mis-ouii river. Mount Washing ton, in New Hampshire, ranks third, with a height ofJlL'.s.'i feet. The highest mountains in Switzerland are Mi nut j lane and Mount liosa, Io, 77." and !.", l."t) feet respectively. South America has several mountain peaks, ran; irg from ''!, mm) to L'oto:) feet high. But the Himalayas, in South Asia, carry oil' tho palm i f tho world for high mountain's. There are several peaks in that range between L'.y:o nnd 't'ooo feel in height. Mount Everett reaching the last figure, and, to be precise, adding two feet more. These latter ligures almost tako one's breath away, even to think of tl em. To mount tlje heights which tkoy iep eseut would do it actually; for tho air at such an elevation is so rare as to make human existence there dangerous, if not im possible. ENGINES, MACHINERY, ETTO.
