It removes grease as if by magic, and softens the dirt by soaking, so that rinsing will in ordinary cases entirely remove It. The pow der Is prepared in accordance with chemical sci ence, and upon a process peculiar to itself, which is secured by Letters Patent. It has been in. use for more than a year, and lias proved itself an universal favorite wherever it has been used. — Among the advantages claimed are the follow ing It saves all the expense of soap usually used on cotton and linen goods. It saves most of the labor of rubbing, and wear and tear. Also, for cleaning windows it is unsurpassed. ‘With-one quarter the time and labor usually required it imparts a beautiful gloss and lustre, much supe rior to any other mode. No water required ex cept to moisten the powder. Directions with each package. And can bo readily appreciated by a single trial. The cost of washing for a fam ily of five or six persona will not exceed threis cents. The manufacturers of this powder are aware that many useless compounds have been introduced to the public which have rotted the cloth, or failed in removing the dirt, but knowing the intrinsic excellence of this article, they con fidently proclaim it as being adapted to meet a demand which has long existed, and which lias heretofore remained misapplied.

Tho county of , 11 away up in tho mountains,” boasts of one of the best judges in California. On the bench he is firm, decided and prompt, not caring a snap of the finger for either the applause of friends or the muttering of enemies.— Ho is, perhaps, the most devoted man to the law in all creation, and has his hand so full of what he terms “judicial talk,” that he not unfrequently finds himself making learned charges, and passing sen tences outside the court-room. On a recent occasion the judge was call ed to exercise the “ power and authority in him vested," in the case of a young couple who desired wedlock. Of course he consented to perform tho pleasant du ty and on tho appointed evening was promptly at hand at the hour at which the affair was to come off. The room was crowded by the beauty and fashion of the town, and none looked more digni fied or happy than the judge himself, who was dressed within an inch of his life. H. S. RITTER, The wine had passed round and round —the music had ceased—the time had ceased—the time for making Joseph. Bow ers and Nancy Harkins one had arrived. Every heart throbbed with the most de lightful emotions. The young gentle men desired to know how Joe would stand it, and the young ladies were anx ious to see how- Nancy would suffer the anxious. Others again, who had closely observed the turn of affairs during tho evening, fixed their attention upon tho judge, to see how he would come out of the scrape. At length the trying moment was an nounced, the judge rose very cautiously from tho chair which he occupied in one corner of the room, and-casting his oyes over the company, he singled out the sheriff of the county, who was present as an invited guest. Thejudgo hadjust im bibed enough to make him forget the na ture of his business. He was full of his “judicial talk,” and required nothing but the presence of the sheriff to start him. Looking sternly at that officer, he shouted: “Mr. Sheriff, open the court, and call order.” A general twitter followed this com mand, in the midst of which Mr. Sheriff took the "court” by the arm, and led him to his seat in the corner, at tho same time informing tho august personage of the. mistake. Every tiling now bid fair for a pleasant and sudden termination of the affair, un til another annoyance, which was noth ing else than the absence of tho bride groom, was observed.. It turned out that he had just stepped across tho street to join his friends in a parting drink; but before his return some cool-blooded wag had whispered into tho ear of our old fo gy the cause of 11 the delay of the proceed ings.” Instantly the chair in the corner moved, and in that direction all eyes were fixed. GILT FRAMES. “ Mr. Sheriff,” slowly bawled the judge, “ bring Joe into the court on a supenar, (thejudgo had his own way of pronounc ing the word;) then, addressing the bride, who had stood in the foreground and hung her head in deep confusion, ho added, " X s’posa you are the plaintiff?— Well, don’t take on. Innocence and vir tue will be protected in this here court.” This was the saddest blunder of all. — The judge was again made to see his mis take, and would have been considerably set back had it not been for a corrective in the shape of “ forty drops of the crit ter,” which he instantly applied. In a few moments all was ready in right down earnest. The bridegroom had arrived, full of joy. The excitement was intense. He evidently felt every inch a judge. “ J-J-o-oB B-o-w-e-r-s,” commenced the man of law in that distressing style of speech with which he -was Invariably troubled when under the influence of liquor, “ J-J-o-o B-B-o-w-e-r-s, stand up. Have y-y-you anything to s-s-ay w-why s-s-sentence .” “ Stop, stop, stop, Judge,” shouted tho sheriff, from the back part of the room : “ you are not going to hang tho man, but marry him.” The judge drew a long breath, and blinked rapidly, but he stood his ground well. Recovering himself he proceeded— “ J-J-o-o B-B-o-w-e-r-s, do y-you take Nancy H. Harkins for y-your wife, so help me God?” This was a tolerable effort, and Joe nod ded assent. “ N-Nanoy Harkens, it now remains for this c-court to -” Here the sheriff again interrupted tho judge, reminding him of the real business of the evening. “Miss N-Nancy,” resumed the judge, after being set aright, “ d-d-do y-you y-y -you t-take Joe B-Bowera for a. husband t-to the best of your knowledge' and b-be lief, or do you not?” “ You can bet I will,” softly answered the light-hearted Nancy. The judge then took the hands of the happy couple, and joining them, wound up as follows: “It now r-remains for this h-here c-court to pronounce you J-Joe Bowers, and y-you Nancy Harkens, man and wife; and (here the judge paused to wipe the perspiration from his face) m-may G-G-Qod Or-mity have mercy on y-y -your s-s-souls! Sheriff, remove the cul prit!” The company roared. Joe and Nancy weakened. The sheriff was taking with a leaving. The judge let himself loose in a glass of applejack.; It was tho greatest wedding ever witnessed. uni.miooi). BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE. JOE BOWER’S WEDMIfG, THE INTELLIGENCE OF BRUTES. From " The Harmonics of Nature," an interesting volume just published by the Appletons, we extract the following par agraphs on tho intelligence of animals: As tho mammalia or man’s nearest re lation, in a physical point of view, they are also endowed with an Intelligence su perior to that of other animals, and not seldom prompting them to actions which seem rather to belong to the sphere of reason than to that of brute instinct. — Tho chimpanzee, for instance, will lock or unlock a .door or drawer, and cannot bo taken in fay the same tiling twice. A dog in a monastery, perceiving that the monks receive their meals by rapping at a buttery door, contrived to do like wise, and when the allowance was push ed through and thedoor shut, ran off with it. This was repeated till tho thief iv as ■detected. Another dog belonging to Mr. Taylor, a clergyman who lived near Colton at Wolosy Bridge, was accused of killing many sheep. Complaints wore made to his master, who asserted that tho thing was impossible, because he was muzzled every night. The neighbors persisting in the charge, the dog one night was watched, and he was seen to draw his neck out of the muzzle, then to go into a field and eat as much of a sheep as would satisfy his appetite. He next went into tho river to wash his mouth and return ed afterwards to tho kennel, put his head in the muzzle, and lay very quietly down to sleep. Mr. Morgan, a surgeon in Paris, had taken into his house a dog of a friend, which had broken its leg, and good hu moredly cured it. Some time after, the dog scratched at Mri Morgan’s study, and on being admitted, introduced anoth er dog, to whom some accident had hap pened, and who could hardly crawl along after his guide. The first dog plainly showed by his caresses what ho wanted, and the surgeon admiring his sagacity, took charge of his protege, and cured him likewise. As the elephant surpasses all that breathes on dry laud in bulk and muscu lar power, his mental faculties also as sign to him one of tho first places in the animal creation. When tamed it becomes the most gentle and obedient of all do mestic quadrupeds, and in most cases it becomes fond of its keeper, and soon learns to distinguish the various tones of the human voice, as expressive of auger, approbation or command. His strength is rendered doubly serviceable to man by the intelligence he evinces in its use. He will load a boat with amazing dexterity, carefully keeping all tho articles dry, and disposing them where they ought to be placed. lu propelling wheel carriages up a declivity, he pushes them forward with his forehead and supports them with his knees. In Ceylon where elephants aro froquou t ly employed in dragging and piling tim ber, they manifest intelligence anti dex terity which is surprising to a stranger, because the sameness of tho operation en ables them to go for hours, disposing of log after log, almost without a hint or di rection froin their overseers.

Ten ent mentions two elephants thus employ ed in the yards attached to the commis sarist atColumbo, who accomplished their work with equal precision and with great er rapidity than if it had been by dock laborers. When the pile had attained n certain height, and they were no longer able, by their conjoint efforts, to raise ono of tho heavy logs of ebony to the summit, they had been taught to lean two pieces against the heap, up tho inclined plane of which they gently rolled the remain ing logs and placed them firmly on tho top. RAILWAY OVER THE ALPS. The pass over Mont Cenis, joining the fertile fields of Sardinia tiud Savoy, lias al ways been the favorite of alpine passes. — Although the military route for ages, the road was in a deplorable condition till, by the enterprise of Napoleon, a substantial carriage way was constructed at an ex pense to the government of seven million francos. For a number of years past this road, in connection with tue French and Italian railroads and the Adriatic steam ers, lias formed tho most direct and expe ditious mail route to India and the East. Tlie slow and tedious mountain passage,, originated the project of completing the missinglinkofrailway communication by tunneling the Alps. Whether this gigantic undertaking will ever be completed, admits of doubt. In the meantime, a company has been start ed with the design of accomplishing this same object by constructing a railroad over the summit of the mountain. Mr. Pell, an English engineer, read an interesting paper on the subject before the British Association, aud his statements leave no doubt as to the feasibility of the plan. Both the French and Italian gov ernments favor the enterprise ; operations have already begun, and in all probability the road will bo completed hy March next. From the difficulties to bo overcome, tho work must fairly be ranked as one of the greatest in the records of engineering. The inclines to be traversed by this road—without exception the steepest ever attempted—require a special construction both In the railway Itself and locomotive. Tho variations of climate during the year—always an important cosideration in allowing for adhesion, or bite of the driving wheels on the rail—constitue hero an Important element, and necessitates the employment of a third or center rail. By this means not only is the proper amount of adhesion produced, but the ad ditional advantage is obtained of furnish ing means for applying an increased amount of brake power, aud also prevent ing all possibility of either car leaving tho track. The engines and carriages have each, in addition to the usual vertical wheels, four horizontal wheels, having flanges underlapping the center rail, connected with brakes so as to grip tho rails; these; in connection with the usual sets, give a brake pressure of 60 tons in an engine weighing 16 to 17 tons. This principle of obtaining theadhosion required, in order to develop tractive force on railways, is equally applicable to au even much steeper gradient, than any found on the Mont Cenis road, and that consistently with economical expense of mechanical power. figy The following story of a Now York broker shows something of Charles Lamb’s delicate humor. Tire broker, who, like Lamb, stutters, passing down Broadway, noticed a placard announcing that tho Siamese Twins were on exhibi tion. He entered tho hall, asked tho at tendant if they wore the re-re-real Siam ese twins; and upon being assured that they were, proceeded to ask a great many questions, which were fully answered.— At last, seizing hold of tho ligature that connects Chang and Eng, the broker asked “Sa-a-me age?” "Yes,” replied the Agent; when looking into the latter’s face, the stutterer remarked, “ B-b-broth ers I presume.” jgy Two Quaker girls were ironing on the same table. One asked the other which side she would take, tho righ t or loft. She answered, promptly, “ It will be right for me to take tholeft. and then it will be left for thee to take the right.” INCONSISTENCIES OF MINERS, Even amongst misers, however, there are exceptions to the rule of uniform pe nuriousness. Elwcs, who added to nis own fortune another inherited from his uncle, botli amounting to half a million sterling, would dine offa hard boiled egg, or a piece of pancake which ho had kept for two mouths in his pocket. But he would lose thousands at play to men of fashion, pay his debts and never ask for his winnings, which ho thought would bo ungenllemanly. He would not lay out a a penny on the education of his two sons. Ho thought that putting thingsinto their heads was like taking money out of their pockets. But when Lord Abingdon made a match for seven thousand pounds, Elwes, who knew ho had not the money, offered to lend it to him. He would walk from one end of Loudon to another in the rain to avoid payiugashilling for acoach; would eat his meat putrid rather than order a fresh joint; and sit in wot clothes rather than light a Are to dry them ; wore a cast-off which he had picked out of a a ditch ; and having torn his own coat, took one from the family chest which had belonged to an ancestor, with cloth sleeves made of green velvet. But to a merchant who conciliated him with a present of wine he lent seven hun dred pounds, and a frilling present, or work done for him for nothing, was tol erable sure to be followed by a loan of money. Ho would lot a poor man starve before he would aid him, yet in bonds to peers and others, and on some American property, be is said to have lost one hun dred and fifty thousand pounds. There wore occasional touches of humor in him. At a shooting party, a bad shot fired carelessly, wounded him in the cheek. “I give you joy,” ho said, “of your improve ment, I knew you would by and by hit something.” At another time, having cut both his legs deeply, ho with difficulty was persuaded to employ a surgeon. But ho would only incur this expense in favor of one leg. Ho would manage the other himself, and offered to bet that It would get well first, and it did. Thomas Guy was another exception.— His wealth was enormous, and at one time ho had promised to marry his maid the only servant ho kept. Ho had order ed the pavement before his door, to bo mended up to a particular spot. Tho girl observing a broken stone beyond this point, told the workmen to mend it also. “ Tell Mr. Guy,” she said, “ I bade you do it and he will not be angry.” Tho marriage was to have taken place two days afterwards, and the girl reasonably presumed she might exercise this little piece of authority. But she soon discov ered her mistake. Guy was so angry at the additional expense in which she had involved him that he broke off tho match. Yet he built three Wards on tho north side of St. Thomas' Hospital, endowed them with a hundred pounds a year for eleven years, and afterwards built a hos-' pital which bears his name, at a coat of £219,000. FIRMNESS OF CHARACTER. It Is wonderful to see what miracles a resolute and unyielding spirit wi 11 achieve. Before its irresistible energy the most for midable obstacles become as cob-web bar riers In its path. Firmness of purpose is like the crushing avalanche, which sweeps everything before it while in motion.— Difficulties, the terror of which causes the undetermined to shrink back with dis may, provoke from the man of lofty' de termination only a smile. The wholo history of our race—all nature, indeed — teems wth examples to show what may be accomplished by intrepid perseverance and patient toil. It is related of Tamerlane, the celebra ted warrior, the terror of whoso army spread through all eastern nations, and whom victory attended at almost every stop, that he once learned from an insect an example of perseverance, which had a striking effect on his future character and success. When closely pursued by his enemies, ns the anecdote is related, he took refuge in some old ruins, where, loft to his solitary musings, ho espied an ant, striving and tugging to carry away a sin gle grain of corn. His unavailing efforts were repeated sixty-nine times, and at each several time, so soon as he reached a certain point ho fell back with his burden unable to surmount it. But the seventieth time he bore away his spoil in triumph and left the wondering hero reanimated in the hope of future victory. How pregnant the lesson this incident conveys! How many thousand incidents there are in which inglorious defeat ends the career of the timid and desponding, when the same tenacity of purpose, the same unflinching perseverance, would crown it with triumphant success ! Desolation is almost omnipi tent. Sheri dan was at first timid, and obliged to sit down in the midst of a speech. Convinc ed of and mortified at the cause of his fail ure, he said one day to a friend, “ It is in me, and shall come out.” From that mo ment he rose and shone, and triumphed in a consummate eloquence. Here was reason and resolution. A Long Dance. —An ingeniousFronch mathematician lias calculated that the space which a young Parisian belle, who is fond of the salutary exorcise of danc ing, traverses in the gay salons of Paris amounts, in the course of on# dancing season, to four hundred and thirty-four miles and a half. Ho has also estimated that a French lady, fond of performing the functions of a teetotum, would spin round in a waltz in one night as many times as the wheels of a steamboat re volve while running the distance between Dover and Calais.

Eauwolff. The Turks have coffee-houses, in which they meet to sip their liquid, and chat together like Englishmen in their ale-houses. Cof fee-houses are common in Germany, and were at one time more common in Eng land than at tho present moment. Tho firstcoffee-housoopened in London washy a merchant of Turkey, named Edwards ; this was in 1G52. Coffee was in public use before that time In Franco. When coffee was first introduced into Britain it met with the most furious oppo sition from old and young, grave and gay, men and women fair. In. 1764,the wo men in England partitioned Parliament against allowing the use of coffeCT, in which petition it was stated, “ that men, by its use, became, like the desert of Ara bia, and that if Us use was preslsted in, the offspring of mighty Anglo-Saxon an cestors would dwindle into a succession of apes and pigmies; and on a domestic message, a husband whuld stop on the way to drink a couple of cups of coffee.” Here we see the fair sex were-jealous for the honor of good old English ale.; and tho question is, were they notright? Cof fee, however, had and still has its advo cates ; it has been stated by them, that wherever ithasbeenintroduced, drunken ness has become less frequent, and the people more sober. Wo have no statis tics to prove or disapprove this statement, but it may bo justly assumed to be true. In the reign of Charles 11., coffee-hous es were shut up in Loudon by proclama- - tion, in which it was stated, _ ‘ the retail ing of coffee nourished sedition, spread lies, scandalized great men, and mightbo considered a common nuisance.' This arbitrary act occasioned violent disturb ances, and permission was given to open the coffee-houses again, but tho landlords were forbid to keep seditious papers on their premises. The coffee-houses had be come political clnb-houses. Four different kinds of coffee are used — Mocha, which is tho best, comes down tho Persian Gulf, from Arabia; its berries are of a middling size, clean and plump, and of a light greenish-olive hue: it sells dearer than any other. Tho next best is Java, which is grown in the island of that name, and it is cultivated by the Dutch. The other two kinds are Brazilian and West India coffee, which are very similar. A field of coffee in full bloom is a sight worth going to Jamaica to see. The quality and effects of coffee differ according to the manner in which it is roasted. It must he roasted with great care and not overdone. The Turks roast it in an iron spoon, and roast it just be fore they are going to use it. This is the best plan, as coffee loses its flavor if ex posed after being roasted. Tho reason of this is evident; the roasting brings out the essential oil to tbo surface, this is vo latile, and is the fine aromatic quality of tbo beau: it therefore soon evaporates when exposed to the atmosphere. To roast coffee aright it should bo done by an invention patented a few years ago in England; It consists in using a copper drum, silvered inside, into which are placed tho beaus, and the drum made to rovolvo above the fire, until tho beaus are done. It is best not to over-roast them. The peculiar principle of coffee is the caff'ein, which was discovered by Robl quet in 1821; it is a very active principle, and affects tho urinary organs. Water saturated with coffee was first used by Grindal, in the Russian Hospital of Dor bat, in tho treatment of intermittent fe vers ; it was also given as a powder, raw. In eighty cases, not one resisted its ef fects,. Homoeopathic practitioners also uso it with success. As an article of diet, and as a beverage, coffee has become quite a favorite, if we may judge.from the quantity consumed. No less than 144,986,81)5 lbs. wore import ed into the United States in 1850; the val ue of this was $11,215,099. No country in the world consumes so much coffee, in proportion to its inhabitants, as ours, — Thus, last year, the average amount of coffee consumed by each man, woman, and child was over seven pounds. The consumption of coffee has greatly increas ed in England, and it does not appear that the fears of the old English matrons, about their sons becoming monkeys by its use, are yet realized.' Coffee is now very generally used by all Europeans as well as the old Turks, and almost ail American families, for a breakfast beverage. Its effects upon the human system may be peculiar, but gen eral use has not yet developed anything extraordinary produced by it, except it may bo the healthy appearance and rug ged strength of some French miners, who use it in large quantities. This fact was brought before Academy of Sciences in Paris last year. In some armies and na vies, coffee has been wisely substituted for grog; it would be well if this were the case in every single instance: In cold weather coffee is an agreeable and safe stimulant. It was noticed that those French soldiers who had saved some cof fee and sugar during the terrible retreat from Moscow, stood the cold much better than those who had none. Every family should buy their own beans and roast and grind them, for much of our ground colleo is also adulterated with roasted corn and peas. These adul terations are not the least unhealthy : but there is no earthly use of any body pay ing for corn instead of coffee, and if any body wishes to adulterate their own cof fee, why they can do it to suit themselves. Coffee effects the nerves of some people in a most singular manner, by making them nervous and feverish. No person so affected should use it. As a general thing foralmostevery person, webelieve it healthy and pleasant beverage. In Eng land all the coffee is adulterated with yellow dock-root, ground up along with the beans; the law allows of this adul teration, and yet, for all this, the coffee there sells for about double the price it does in the United States. When wo reflect upon the great quan tity of coffee now consumed by us- every year, now'that the consumption has in creased from a little over four millions of pounds in 1790, to over one hundred and forty-four millions of pounds in 1850, we cannot shut our eyes to the seeming ne cesity of growing coffee for ourselves. Our Southern States Can surely raise good coffee ,* they beat the world for cot ton and rice, both of which were intro duced from foregin countries; and coffee, wo think, can be as sucessfullycultiyated ns these have been. —Scientific American .- My friend has a great reverence for truth,” said one gentleman to an other. “ So I have observed,” replied the other, “for ho always keeps a resjiectable dis tance from it.” Bgy “Of what use are forms Exclaim ed a petulant legislator to Dr. Franklin; “you cannot deny that they are often empty things!” " Well, my friend, and so are barrels, but nevertheless they have their use,” quietly replied the Doctor.
