Proceeding! of t he Union Slate Convention —Judge WtTUem* Nominated ou the ninth ballot.—Jmj>ortant and Significant Resolutiont. Wiluamspobt, June 26. —The Republi can State Convention, to nominate a candi date for the office of J udge of the Supreme Court, assembled at 10 o'clock this morning, and was called to order by Hon. Francis JordaD, Chairman of the State Central Com mittee. He then spoke as follows: _ Gentlemen of the Convention and Felloic citbens: The time appointed for the assem bling of the convention has arrived, and in calling you to order I discharge the last of the duties pertaining to the Tionorable sta tion which it has been my privilege to occu py. No formal account of mv stewardship has ever been rendered, and I will not now detain you by any explanation of it The results of our last campaign, as they were proclaimed to the world on the second Tues day of October last, are still fresh within vour recollection. They were in the main satisfactory to us, and if not acceptable to our adversaries, were at least obligatory and conclusive upon them. We elected one of the heroes of the war—our gallant standard-bearer, Geary— Governor of this Commonwealth; we sent to the national Congress a delegation which far outshone any of its predecessors in its unanimity for the right; and wc succeeded in putting upon a recent member of the United States Senate a moot effectual ex tinguisher. In a poll which exceeded the number of votes cast at the proceeding elec tion by 143,fW0, the ballot-box unmistaka bly indicated the continued unwillingness of our patriotic people to trust rebels or rebrl sympathizers with the reins of government and the political power of the country. Other loyal States unhesitatingly united with us in this grand declaration, and thus the insane and wicked policy of Andrew Johnson and his new friends and allies was overwhelmed by the unprecedented and magnificent popular majority of four hun dred thousand votes. 'ln is was the solemn dcci.-ion of tho sovereign people, rendered upon the merits of the issues involved, after a full bearing upon both sides, and from it there can be an appeal to none but those who made it. Woe unto him that would be dictator or tyrant, and his advisers, who, in their impotent wrath, would endeavor to explain away or set aside the verdict. We call upon our representatives in the Fortieth Congress (o do their duty, and to execute tho popular will as it has been constitution ally declared. The speaker added that it devolved upon the convention in these eventful times, with grave responsibilities resting upon them, to clear away all obstruc tion from the pathway of duty, and to accel erate the grand march of the cause of civil liberty and the rights of men. It was not for him to suggest, much less to dictate, the principles that should be affirmed, or the person who should bear the standard in the opening contest: but as one ofthe sovereign people, ne insisted mat ooui me oiatrorm and the candidate should lie worthy of past conflicts and triumphs, and no step backward be taken. The nation's determination was fixed that the Republic shall lie reunited on the basi? of liberty and justice, and the choice of a proper person for Judge of the Supreme Court was an important means to to that end. To insure success, Pennsylva nia, as heretofore, was expected to contri bute her full share and to do her whole duty. In the strength of these principles, convic tions, and responsibilities, the party should fearlessly press onward, confident and assur ed there can be no such word as fail. It only remained for hiui to call the convention to order, and to receive the usual motion for preliminary orgnization. On motion of Hon. John Cessna, of Bed ford, the convention organized by the choice of Gen. Jas. L. Selfridge, of Northampton county, as temporary chairman. Gen. Sel fridge addressed the convention in ack nowledgment of the partiality manifested in his appointment, which he interpreted as a compliment to the late soldiers ol the army. He said that the body was called upon, by every consideration of patriotism to act with a single reference to the public good, and the people of the State would hold them responsible for the character ofthe nomina tion made to day. lie urged bis hearers to imitate the glorious example of devotion to duty which had been given them by that wonderful and noble soldier, I'hil 11. Sheri dan, whose official conduct was the theme of universal praise. [Long-continuedapplause, followed by cheers for Gen. Sheridan.] Mes-rs. Hitchcock of Luzeruc, N'ewlin of Philadelphia, and McPherson of Adams, were appointed temporary secretaries. Hon. James L. Graham, of Alleghany, moved that a committee of one member from each Senatorial district be appointed on per manent organization. W. B. Mann, Esq., of Philadelphia, pro posed to amend so as to secure the election of a permanent pre.-ident by direct vote. _ The question of the most appropriate method of procedure in the selection of per manent officers gave rise to considerable dis cussion, which was finally terminated by the adoption of tho original motion. t in motion of Edward McPherson, a Com mittee on resolutions similarly constituted was also appointed. Resolutions were pa V"_,'. adopting the rules of the House of He;' scntatives, and referring to the Commitu : on Resolutions all resolutions offered. John 11. Walher, Esq., chairman of Com mittee on Permanent Organization, submit ted a report, which was adopted, as follows: PrrjsuUnt —Hon. John Scott, of Hunting don. Vice Pro-id'nts. —Tho.s Little, 11. C. Thompson, Westley Stevenson, Charles Williams 0. F. llallard. John J. I'otts, 11. 11. Williams, L. F. Gordon. Samuel Shearer, Scth W. Gcer, William L. Lillic William T. Davis, Abram G.

Captain Dushane, James L. Graham S. 11. Gncr. Captain Jacob Wcigand, John Hilar, M. C. Bee, S. C. Woodruff' Secretaries. —Ed w. McPhereon, Jas. Breaslcy. Jas. W. M. Nowlin. 11. G. Frey. During the absence of the Committee on Resolutions the convention was addressed by Thos. Marshall and Thos. J. Bingham, of Alleghany. The latter speaker, reviewing the position of the Democratic candidate, reminded his hearers that Sharswood had written an opinion denying the constitutionality of the whole financial system of the Government. However creditable hi.' antecedents, the burden of that position JJas enough to crush the candidate of any. party. Jeremiah S. Black, the legal advr-' in Mr. Buchanan iu isfo, who proclaiinctfihc doctrine that there was nC Wgal power tosavc the Government, was 'g ffftrst endorser of the nomination, and A LOCAL AND GENERA], NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS. the second was Chief Justice Woodward, who had deliberately given an opinion deny ing the power of Congress to fill our armies by draft. The speaker supposed the third endorser would be Andrew Johnson, and the fourth probably Jeff Davis. A committee having been appointed to wait upon the chairmn elect, lion. John Scott, of Huntingdon, that gentleman was introduced, and after a few preliminary re- in which he returned thanks for the partiality manifested in his behalf, contin ued: It is not my purpose to detain you with any lengthy address, for this call has been to mc so entirely unexpected that I do not feel that I am empowered to speak to this convention on the issues which may be in volved in the coming election in such a man ner as they should be discussed before a body of this character. We ara met to make a nomination of a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court of our State, and whatever might be said of the impropriety of introducing political questions into Judi cial elections, no men can or ought to shut his eyes to the fact that in all elections for important offices, for some years to come, the position which men who are candidates have occupied in the late rebellion must en ter into that contest There are fundamen tal questions about the structure and pow ers of government which are far more im portant than any questions of mere political expediency can be; and we have arrived at a time in the history of our country when we cannot look with indifference upoD the opin ions which our judicial officers hold concern ing the structure and powers of the Govern ment. Call it politics, if you will, it is the kind of politics which involves the life of a nation; and, in the language of Chief Jus tice Chase, in that admirabel opinion de livered in a North Carolina court within the last few weeks, "they are political questions to which events give the answer." It is highly important for us, gentlemen of the convention, that we place in nomination to day a man who will agree to the proposition that there are legal questions to which events have given answer. Treason—trait ors, that is the word —traitors, in the inter est of slavery- made an effort to destroy this Government. Loyalty in the interest of freedom, resisted the attempt, and has pre served it. Thank God for it. And wheth er it be the election of a Governor, of Con gressmen, of a Legislator, of a President, or of a Supreme Judge, the question will come up to every man's mind, and upon it all im portant elections will be deeided for years to come. That question is: Is it safer to en trust the destinies of this government in the bands of the men who did ,-av it than to turn it over into the hands of those who either made the effort or sympathized with the effort made to destroy it? That is the question that will be propounded and it is a significant fact that this rebellion was pro ceeded by the opinion of an Attorney Gen eral which denied the right of the General Government to enforce obedience to the laws and the Constitution of the land. It is another significant fact, that the candi date presented by the Democratic party within the last few weeks for the same posi tion for which wc arc called upon to nomi of that opinion, and thus he goes into the contest saddled with the burden of Judge Black's anti-opinion, lie could not have a heavier weight to carry, for the opinion of that Attorney General has been buried as useless rubbish beneath the bones and blood and bodies of the loyal men who gave their lives to refute it. [Long continued ap plause. | We arc met now when another opinion of another Attorney General has been invoked to save the veto message which attributed to his authorship, and given to the world through Andrew .Johnson, President of the United States that Con gres had not power to legislate for the land it had saved, and who, the logic of that message falling, now endeavors to construe the law so as to defeat the well known legis lative intent which passed, an- h ich forui- Ed it. But, thank God again we are met too. just following the time when Sickles and Sheridan [great applause, iu which the voice of the speaker was drowned]-; we arc met upon the eve of the meeting of Congress, called for the purpose of putting in uninistakaply alaw which no legal sophis try can sweep away. That we expect them to do. Wc have control, through the legis lative department of the Government, of the destinies of the nation. We may say that wc have control ofthe -hip of state; and even if the man (it is an impromptu metaphor; I do not know where it may end |; if the man who has charge of the light house should seek to obscure the lantern from the vessel at sea and run it on the rocks, thank God we have a crew on the vessel that has learned the coast and can save themselves. It is for us, the 1, to find among the distin guished gentlemen presented to this con vention as candidates one who accepts the logic of events, and one who will say, with that admirable opinion to which I have re ferred, that the man under this Government who goes into armed resistance against it, can come out of that resistance only in two ways—either as a successful revolutionist or a traitor —one who will say that crime is not absolved from its penalty by cither its mag nitude or respectability; one who will rally to himself the confidence and support and votes of all loyal men; for, while we are here pressing the claims of our respective candi dates, it is a gratifying feature to know that none are presented wno are not worthy of the support of the loyal men ot this State. Let us come together, then, in this spirit of generous rivalry for our friends, and i keep in view always the importance of keep ing together this organization. Whatever | differences may exist upon minor or subor- j dinate questions, we all will agree in keeping in view the is.-ucs which arc involved in the success of the Union party. On motion of Wayne McVcagh, Esq., of ; Chester nominations were opened for can didates for Supreme Judge. The Com- | mittee on Ileselutions being present, Jas. L.Graham, of Alleghany, nominated lien- ! ry W. Williams, of Alleghany; Lynn Bar- | tholomew, of Schuylkill, nominated Edwin j Owen Parry, of Schuylkill; S. Brown, ol Backs, nominated M.

Williams, 65 votes; M. Russell Thayer, 40; Samuel Linn, On motion, the nomination was made unanimous, which was carried amid gener al l cjoicing. The convention then took a recess till five o'clock. At the time appointed the convention reassembled. Hon. Edward Mc Pherson, of Adams count}', chairman of the Com mittee on Resoltfions, submitted the fol lowing report: The Republicans of Pennsylvania, appeal ine again to the people, take pleasure in re calling the repeated occasions in which the voters of the Conmonweahh have sustained and ratified their candidates and principles, and strongly imp*?ssed with the importance of the issues Invoked in the ensuing election, inak v this declaration of their opinions and principles: First. That, iu the name of the nation saved from tieason, we demand security against its remtitiou by exacting from the vanquished sum guarantees as will make treason so odious as to be forever impossible. Second. Thai, as in the past we cordially justified the adninistration of Abraham Lin coln in all neceisary acts for the suppressing of rebellion, we record it as our judgment that the adminiitration of Andrew Johnson has been chiefly faithless, because it has fail ed to try to gai£er up and fix in the organic and statute liw the great principles which the war has sc.tied, and without whose adop tion as the ruls of action peace is but a delu sion and a snaie. Third. That, in the completion of the task of reconstruction so firmly as to be perpetual, it is indispensable that traitors beaten in the field thai! not find a sanctuary in the courts: that the laws shall not be tortured to justify or palliate the crimes of which the country's enemies have betn guilty, and that the law of war shall be so distinctly declared by the courts that no disturbing and paralyzing doubts may ever ke raised, as in I All. affect ing the essential rights of the Government or personal duties of citizens. Fourth. That this convention, speaking for the Republicans of Pennsylvania, unre servedly endorses the reconstruction meas ures of the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Con gresses as a basis ipon sound principles, es sentially just and wise, and promise an early legal and permanent restoration of the rebel States to their share in the government of the Union; that we denounce and condemn the offers of President Johnson, through his pli ant Attorney-Gentral and a majority of his Cahiuel. to evade these laws by interfering to obstruct and prevent their enforcement iu the spirit in which tbey were passed, and .that we call upon Congress, soon to meet, promptly and decisively to dispose of this new nullifi cation Fifth. That the thauks of the loyal men of this Commonwealth are hereby tendered to Major General Sheridan and Major General Sickles for their pablicly-declared unwilling ness to be made instrumental, in the startling and truthful words of the former, "iu open ing, under the Presidential declaration, a broad, macadamized way for perjury and fraud lo travel on," in pursuit of the coveted repossession of political power in the rebel States; and that this convention confidently Tfimlia?!?' l ArjHnl{. , i J ISES h in their patriotic efforts to execute the law. Sixth. That President Johnson further merits our condemnation for his reckless par don and attempted restoration to political rights of many of the chief conspirators against the Union; and that especially his per sistent efforts to compel the release of Jeffer son Davis without question for his crimes were a reproach to the administration of jus tice and an insult to the whole loyal people of the nation. Seventh. That warned by past misfortunes, we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be placed in harmony with the political opin ions of the majority of the people, to the end that the Court may nevrr again, by unjust de cisions, seek to set aside laws vital to the na tion, nor imperil the safety of the public se curities, nor impair the operation of the bounty, pension and tax laws, which were required for the public defence: nor in any way thwart measures which were essential to the public protection: but that, on the other hand, it may become and remain a fit and faithful interpreter of the liberal spirit of the age. a bulwark of public faitb. and an impar tial aud fearless exponent of the equal rights of man. Eighth. That protection being a cardinal feature of the Republican creed, we trust that such legislatiot will be secured at the earliest period as will afford adequate protec tion to American industry. Ninth. That in conformity with the pledges given last fall by both candidates-for Govern or. we now demand the enactment of a free railroad law. by which the enterprise of oor i people may be simulated, and the resources of the Commonwealth developed. Tenth. That in Governor John W. Geary we recognize an honest and courageous pub jic servant, who, in the chair of State, is add ing freshness to the laurels gallantly won in war. Elrrenth. That th- gratitude of the people to the soldiers and sailors, whose bravery met and overthrew the slaveholders' rebellion, should have repealed and emphatic expres sion; and that we keartily disapprove of and condemn the course of the Secretary of the Treasury in postponing and ignoring the just claims of our brave defenders upon the boun ty of the Government, awarded to them by the National Congress. Twelfth. That in the Hon. Henry W. YY'illiams, of Allegheny county, we present to the people of Pennsylvania an eminent jurist; one in every way well qualified for the res ponsible duties of the office of Judge of the Supreme Court: able as a lawyer; impartial, prompt, and thorough as a judge: honest, up right. without suspicion as a man. and loyal and unwavering in his devotion to the cause of his country. The resolution pertaining to the organiza of the State Central Committee was discussed at length, and finally adopted, as follows: Resolved , That the thanks of the conven tion be tendered to Col. Jordan for the effi cient manner in which he performed the du ties of chairman of the State Central Com mittee lor the past year, and that he lie reap pointed for the coming year; and that, in tne case of his inability or unwillingness to accept the position, the president of this convention shall appoint the chairman, and that the re mainder of the committee shall be appointed in the usual way, consisting of the same tram ber as that of last year. The resolutions extending thauks to the family of A. IV. Benedict, late secretary of the Slate Central Committee, for his efficient services, and consolation in their bereave incut, and appointing a committee of notifi cation to wait upon the nominee, were adop ted. The resolution increasing the number of the Philadelphia members of the State Cen tral Committee from eight to twelve was also passed, aud the convention then adjourned sine die. A housemaid who was sent to call a gou tlenian to dinner, found him engaged in us ing a tooth brush. "Well, is he coming? said the lady of the house, as the servant returned. ''Ves, ma'am, directly," was the reply, "he's jist sharpening his teeth." PisrcUancous. A DAY WITH ROSA BONIIEL'R. In order to reach the studio of Rosa Bon heur, you must not enter tlte omnibus driv ing to the Can-hire Pigallc, still less the one driving to the Luxemburg gardens, for Rosa Bonheur lives with her muse far frtini the breiverics of Mont Breda, and far from the beautiful old chc.-nut trees of the Lux emburg. If you wish to contemplate the great, pa inter close b.v. you must take the Lyons train, alight at Fontainebleau, and ask some body to show you the road to the Chateau de By. After walking for an hour through a dense forest you will behold near the edge of this forest a, vrry pretty dwelling, in which the architect has managed to combine iron, brick and timber with rare artistic taste. From the ground floor to the roof ® v f. r Tthina is graceful and charming In this delightful little villa. Its irregularity con stitutes its greatest charm, and your eyes might wander ail the day long from the small towers wreathed with ivy to the bal conies festooned with beautiful flowers, if your care were not suddenly deafened by a most singular noise, which puts all at once a stop to your admiring contemplation. At first, if you hate Wagner's music of the future, you would believe that a num- I ber of enthusiastic singers were rehearsing a piece composed by the ecceutric friend of the eccentric King of Bavaria; but. after listening with close attention for a few min utes, you will comprehend that this strange concert results from the bleating of sheep, the lowing of cows, the neighing of horses, and the barking and howling of dogs, all blending in a wonderfully discordant medley. This cattle concert will then tell you that you have arrived at your destination, and, approaching the handsome east-iron fence, you ring the bell: an old servant gill makes her appearance. I say an old servant girl, one of the last vestiges of a race which is dying out very fa>t, and which is called "the devoted servants." "Mademoiselle Rose Bonheur?" "She is not at home." "When will she be back?" "I don't know." "Where is she?" "I don't know." When a servant replica to such questions in this manner you uiay rest assured that the master or the mi-trcsa i* at home. In this case you inu-t proceed very skillfully, and bring your masked battery, to wit, your letter of recommendation, to briir u)K>n the enemy. "I am very sorry that Mademoiselle, Bon heur is not here," you say to the old ser vant girl; "one of her friends sent lue to her to confer with her in regard to some press ing business matters: he gave rnr also this note, which I wa- to deliver to her. Pray give it to her. and express to her my regrets that I did not meet h<-r at home." "Very well," says the old servant girl, and slams the door in your face. Well, you are now eighty kilometers from Parsis, at a village where sandwiches are tni-flw and whither civilization Di'PttrxtM njice a day in the >pii..,- ..f fffe V, in iou say. therefore, to loursei): 1 will take a little walk. In the meantime Rose Bon bcurwill read my !• tt- r of introduction, and, on seeing the signature of her friend at the bottom of the missive, she will scold her -er vant girl for having turtD'd the cmbas.-tidor of one of her itollcatm - IVom tin- that, when I shall present mys-lfun<-i- mote at the door of the chateau. Gertrude 'all old servant girls are called Gertrude) will exclaim, 'Oh my dear sir Mademoi-olle ltonhcur has just got home, and awaits you quite impa tiently!' " Well, you are utterly mistaken, and your monologue is fal>c in ever-- respect, for. when you confront once more this iuhospi table threshold. Gertmdr fell- you with a morose air: "Mademoiselle Bonheur has not got home yet. She dines very often at Fontaine bleau. It happen? sometimes th it -he stays two weeks from borne without tolling me a word about it. You know artistes arc so very queer." If you are not malicious, you will think that the game i- up, an I, greatly disap pointed, you will at once start on your return trip of eighty kilometer-, -wearing on the way like Lucifer; but, if ym are malicious, just request Gertrude to return to you your letter of introduction, and tell her that you have orders to deliver it only iuto the hands of her mi-tress. 11 or mistress has, ofcour.se, Opened the letter already. ' lertrude can pot return the letter to you without incurring the suspicion of being a faithless servant- What will she do, then? "Forsooth," exclaims Mademoiselle Bon heur, caught in the trap, "admit theinquis tive fellow." And you enter the hou-e. The reader has guessed already that I have related to him what happened to my self I did not know that the most urgent re commendations do not exert any effect upon the obdurate heart of Rosa Bonheur, and that she closes her door nio-t unceremoni ously in the face ol whosoever aspire- to lay at her feet a tribute of enthusiastic admira tion. Well, thank God. I had succeeded in getting in. Gertrude pointed out to me a little fellow who approached through au alley j of the pnik, lie serincG to look at ate Irown ingly, but an enormous straw hat which he wore on his head prevented ttte (rout recog nizing his features. I stooped a little, ami now I saw a beard less. full face, bronzed by the sun, and dot ted with two hazel eyes of medium size. The smallness of the nose, which w;is finely chiseled, caused the rather large tuouth, which displayed two row-of superb teeth, to appear even larger than it really was. Long hair, which seemed to roc blonde, flow cd under the broad brim ot the straw bat, and fell in truly rural disorder on the shoul ders of the little fellow. "Who arc you? \\ hence do you come, aud what do you want?" he asked in a pet ulant tone. And he placed hiinselfin front ofutCj af ter turning back the .-kiit ol his blue linen blouse, and putting hi? hands into the pock ets of his grey velvet pantaloons. These hands had seemed to me very small. 1 looked at the feet of the little fellow; they were likewise ruiscroecopic notwithstanding the thick calf boots, the soles of which were covered with nails. _ . , , , The Cesarean manner in which the little peasant accosted ttte discncertcd we a lit- C * "I am a journalist, " I replied: "1 come from Paris, and I want to sec Mademoiselle Bonheur."

When she praised die good qualities ot her pointers, I asked: "l'ott hunt? ' 'Acs, certainly, hut I am very awkward. Th.- fact is, there is but one thing I ean do pretty well, and that is to take cafe of cattle. Ah, I tell you I was intended to become a farmer; but fate decided otherwise.

I locs she consider rivals in the Potters, and does she not want them be cause they wound her self-love and her eyes? It certainly astonished me greatly not to see thi- beautiful school represented on the wails of her rooms. It was already dark when the uiistre.-s of the ('bateau de By accompanied me to the door of her country seat. She walked with a firm step by my side. Her masculine bearing, her blunt frankness and boisterous gaydy are such a.- to make one forget bcr sex and her genius, and you feel almost tempted to say to her, "Old fellow," as ; though .-lie were a man, and as though you had known her ever so long. "I have endeavored," she saiitomc, "to make amends for the rudeness with which I received you. Was I successful? "Beyond expression." "You will call again, will you not! "Most assuredly." "But do not conic too often." she added, laughing, "both of us arc talkative; while talking with you, I should forget my easel and toy pencils, and when I have not paint ed eight hours a day, 1 am dissatisfied with myself:" How right waa he who wrote that industry was one hall ol genius. ADVERTISING Then are comparatively few business men who understand the art of advertising. Some ui( n advertise for a short time after they commence business, ana tmna tnat is sufficient; others omit advertising after they have established a flourishing business by its aid. From the momenta house ceases to advertise, h< wcver large it- reputation and standing, it begins to decline. The changes ate -0 rapid in this country, the public mind constantly occupied by new applicants for attention, that to be out of the paper, where everybody seeks informa tion on cvciy subject, is to be forgotteu. The press is daily becoming a necessity, and its usefulness a- an advertising medium is constantly increasing. No man is wise or just to himself who undertakes to do busi ness without availing himself of its advan tage-. A blacksmith would be looked upon as foolish if he w re to pile coal upon his forge and neglect to Mow. The merchant who fills his store, or the tradc.-man who opens his shop and fails to keep the fact before the people, is equally short-sighted. The trade may come, but it will be slow indeed.

Dull and sombre as the mole appears to be, it is by far the fiercest and most active animal wiihin 'he British isles. Indeed, so remarkable is it for both these qualities, that 1 doubt whether the great fear of trop ical climates can equal it cither in ferocity, activity, or voracity. From seeing the ani mal eat. I can readily conceive the fury with which it must l>c animated when it fights, and can perfectly appreciate tfcc truth ol the assertion, that it has been observed to fling itself upon a small bird, tear its body ojien, and to devour it while still pal pouting with life. Nothing short of this fii-ry energy could sustain an animal in the life-long task of forcing itself through the solid earth; and it may well be imagined that when two male moles of equal strength happen to meet, the combat must be of the most furious kind. Hize i, only of relative importance; and, in point of fait, a battle between two inolcs is as tremendous as be tween two lions, if not more so, because the mole is more courageous than the lion, and relatively speaking, is fax more powerful, and armed with weapons far more destruc tive. Magnify the mole to the size of the lion, and you will hare a beast more terrible than the world has yet seen. Though nearly blind, and therefore incapable of fol lowing prey by sight, it would be active be yond conception, springing this way and that way as it goes along, so as to cover a large amount of space, leaping with light ning quickness upon any animal which it met, rending it to pieces in a moment, thrusting its blood-thirsty snout into the body of its victim, eating the still warm and bleeding flesh, and instantly searching for fresh prey. Such a creature would, without the least hesitation, devour a serpent 20 leet in length, and so terrible would lie its voracity that it would eat twenty or thirty such -nukes in a day. With one grasp uf its teeth and one stroke of its claws it could tear an ox assunder: and it it should happen to cuter a foid ol sheep or an enclosure of cattle it would kill them all for mere lust of slaughter. There arc manv burrowing animals, but the mole Is emphat ically the burrower, and absolutely riots in the exuberance of auiui&l spirits and muscu lar activity, passing through the earth al most like fish through the water, and giving to its strange, and apparently sombre life, a poetry and interest which wc fail to find in the lives of many creatures more ricblv en dowed with cnternal beauty.—//owes With out 111 wis. AMERICAN AND ENGLISH GUNS. An interesting letter La- been published, written by Captain Ericsson to the Swedish Minister of Mariue. in which he shows the fallacy of the notions prevalent in England concerning American heavy ordnance. It seems almost every technical writer on the subject a.-.-umes that the American 1.5-inch and 20-inch guns, which are smooth bores, gives a system of very low initial velocity, while the English rifles as a rule, have a very high initial velocity; also, that their rifla cK.vt awn iirilipotJ-il vilK mpnwK' frtW thsn tn#* s|>horvN snot of our heavy guns: moreover, they fe licitate themselves on the difficulty of ma neuvering the American monsters, and in variably suggest, in case of a mariue battle, the tactics of firing at a long range, relying on the above supposed superiorities to gain more efficiency in destruction. Capt. Erics- on goes into the matter with some detail, not only stating but proving that in reality the ease is directly reversed. There is, in the fir-t place, a remarkable correspondence between the heavy- rifle.- of both America and England, aR showing a very low mean initial velocity; then, the American heavy smooth bores actually have been shown by official experiment- to project their missiles much swifter than the English heavy rifle.-, and, finally, he proves, by facts and figures the total fallacy of the European notion that a relatively greater amount of atmospheric resistance is encountered by a spherical than by an elongated shot—for while the Anieri can 20 inch smooth bore gives its projectile more than 9j times the force imparted by the English 12}-inch rifle, the exposed area of the lormcr missile Is vci > Utile more than twice that of the latter. Then, noticing the fact that the handling of a 50-inch gun on shipboard is no longer problematical with the improved tcrret machinery, he laughs •t their "long-ranee tactics" by showing that the comparative destructive powers of the two systems arc such that at a distance whence their light projectiles could merely scratch our 12 and 15-inch turrets, the American 1,000-pound shot would crush in the armor of their tbicbcst broadsides. The whole letter is exceedingly interesting, aud places in a clear light {though apparently without that intention) the invaluable ser vices rendered by Capt. Ericsson to our na tional defenses. —A 1. Toms. BF.ECIIER ON" DOMESTIC ART HI TECTIRE. Mr. Becchcr ha- some very sensible ideas regarding household conveniences.
