The story of I lie I riitli Brigiulo is ono of llionot itttert'Htiiiff episodes in the liilory of tlio Irish people. Their anient military spirit, whieh was ono of the rentilts of their Celtic origin, hud been wivsted through mitny centuries, in snvnife feuds tmonrr themselves, or in fruitless resitneo to their invaders and when at length it had beeomo dineiplined, under Knntlield and St. linth, and acquired a foreo whieh might have, yielded England the great est service in her ensuing wars, it was lout to her through the intolerance which proscribed the religion of a na tion. ' ' The laws of tho period, which fur hade Catholic" to hear arms under the English crown, blindly renounced all the advantages to be derived from their devotion, and compelled tho nrmv of J ames 1 1., whon tlisiiamletl at tho 1'caco of Limerick, to pass over to the Con tinent, and enroll nndcr its various monarch. Almost every throno of Europe nrolitcd by the bold hearts and stalwart frames of the buovant sons of th Emerald Inlo, except only tho ono that still nominally claimed their tille- fianeo whilo repudiating their services, t was In France, however, that James' army who found principally to rueut-semlilo- owing, probably, to the grea ter sympathy ot thotlibemian and tho Celtic temperaments ami there formed themselves Into a Ixxly, winch soon be came distinguiidrtd under its title of tho "Jnsh Jingado. Tlieso gallant emigrants, who left behind them all their social and domes tic ties, carried abroad, with their nn- turnndiod honor and their indoimtaulo courage, all their unconi lie radio gayoty and their undying lore for their native country. Almost as deep, however, perliaps,wus their lovo lor their native music. So strong was it, indeed, that they rcftiKcd to inarch to tho French tunes, and on all military occasions in sisted on the use of their national airs a gratification that was conceded to them, though the same lavor was denied to tho Swiss. For this, how ever, there was a reason. Tho music of tho "Bung des Yiulu's" awoke in the breast of tho latter such a passion ate longing for homo, that it often led to desertion; while in tho poor Irish man, w hose homo was lost to bun, no such danger was to bo feared. During tho courvo ot almost a cen tury tho Brigude was enrolled in the r ivni u annv, ami hail an honorable sharcin all the lattor's brightest achieve ments in r uumcrs, npain aim Jiaiy. Many instances of its staunch fidelity and Us daring, decisive eonrago might ho quoted from tho military records of those days : but one osiieciallv may he selected, which, in its singular combi nation ol the heroic and the grotesque, must be regarded as very national : Cremona. hiaieired hv Prince Enrreno. and defended by tho French, was sur prised one morning bcloro dawn, and would inevitably havo been lost but for the promptitude of tho Irish. Whilo the punctilious and ornate Frenchmen were uclihomtcly buttoning np their rigimentals, tho "former, at tho sound of their trumpets, jumped out of bed, and, simply staying to buckle on their cross-belts aud" curtouch boxes, seixed their guns and hurried to the square, whom, on terming in righting order, their commander's words, "Ualt! dress!" were, at least in ono respect, superfluous. Their inditl'erenco to ap pearances on this occasion was all the greater that the period was midwinter, and the eily was near the Alps. In this condition they were charged by the" Austrian cuirassiers. It was steel couts against night shirts; but the linen trade of Ireland proved tho more formidable of tho two. The Austrian! were driven back, and the French had time to form and recover possession of the town. For this brilliant service tho Brigade was honored wilh tbeem phatie thanks of Ironis X I V, and also bad their pay Increased. But Ihiwe Tearless fellows, as maybe supposed, carried abroad to their new sen-ice not only their courago and fidelity, but all tbeir exuberance as irishmen. J heir rollicking spirit mwl lovo of fun were quite as great as their lore of fighting, mid at times were so onnosMt t propriety and discipline, that the martinets of tho French ranks had to muke formal conipluinU on tho matter. It was on one such occasion that a great compliment was paid them by the bravo lluko of liurwick, who. however, had good reason to love them fbr their devotion to his father. "Marshul," said the king to him, "this Irish Brigade gives me more trouble than all my army put together." "I'leaso your majesty," replied the duko, 'your enemies mako just tiie same complaint ot them I Tho Idol of tho Brigade was the cclo- brated Marshal Kaxo, whose great bravery, In union wilh tin jovial, mirth' fill temperament, gavo him a character that was so engaging and so kindred to their own. It was in reference to hhn originated ono of tho blunders of poor I at that lias so often been re pcatfdand lomlirod everywhere, The marshal was wonnded In some engage ment, and, moreover, it wag reported in his back. None of the Brigade, howcTer, would heliere It. HELD CLEARFIELD, PA., "When ilid he over show his back to them?" was tho general exclamation. "Wasn't it his lUee they knew the most of and wasn't it their backs that he know best f" At last a solution of the mystery was hit upon : "lie was piiruhiiing 'ern.you see, mid just to make tho vllUiis think that, on the eoiithrary, ho was retrating, lie buttoned his coat Isdiind him I" Of the anecdotes and jokes told of the Brigade during their extended foreign Borvico proof's of a humor and light-hcartednesswhiehexileevon could not subdue the number is, Indeed, legion. Uallle vanity forced them of ten into the attiliido of censors, and several of their repartee i aro excellent, and as full of senso as they were of pleasantry. Among the mass ot these is one that has been often referred to llicii . sou recarw lien a Frenchman, claiming for his country the invention of all tho elegances, named, among othcrthiilgs,arutHo ; and Pat answerdi: "We improved on it we put to it a shirt." In tho same spirit, but less known, wna his retort upon a shopkeeper in some petty town whoro ho was quar tered, 'the plum had rather a pre tentious gate, und the grocer, dilating on its grandeur, and asking what tho Irish would say il they possessed it. "Faith, they'd say," was Ids reply, "we'll kape tho big gate shut, or the dirty little town will ha after running out of it." The sarcasm, however, was decpor and mora essentially Hibernian when, on his going somewhere to dine, af ter hearing great praises of French cookery, ho saw a pot of soup brought in with a bit of meat floating on tho top of it upon whieh he pulled otf his coat, and, being asked wliy he diil so, said : "Mure I am going to havo a swim for that little bit of mate there." Among tho adventures recorded of the Dngudo, ono ot the most amusing was an occurrence, in tho time of the Regent of Orleans, in honor of whose birthday agntnd masqureade was given in Paris. It was a high-class all'uir; tickets were a doublo louis d'och each ; all the rank and beauty of Paris were cmhled round the regent, and a oostly and luxurious supper crowned the attractions of tho night. Whilo the entertainment was proceeding, one of tho prince's suite approached and whispered to him : 'It is worth your royal highness s while to step into the supper-rooms ; there is a yellow domino there, who is tho most extraordinary cormorant over witnessed ; he Is a prodigy, your high ness he nevor stops eating and drink ing ; and the attendants say, moreover, that he has not done so for some hours." His royal highness went accordingly; and sure enough there was tho yellow domino, laying about him as described, and swallowing everything as raven ously as if ho had only just begun, liaised pics fell before him fiko gnitlen pulings tcforo a field piece ; pheasants and quails seemed to fly down his throat in a little covey ; the wine he drank threatened a scarcity, whatever might bo the next vintage. Alter wati lung him for some timo, the duke acknowledged he was a won der, and laughingly left the room ; but shortly afterward, on passing through another, ho saw the yellow domino again, ami as actively at work as over, devastating the dishes everywhere, and emptying thechampagnc-bottles as rapidly a luey wore brought to him. Perfectly amazed, tho duke at last could not restrain his curiosity. "Who," ho asked, "is that insatiate ogre that threatens such annihilation to all the labors of our cooks?'' Accordingly, ono of the suite was dispatched to him. . "Ilia royal iiighnoss the Duke of Orleans desires the yellow uomino to unmask." But the domino begged to bo ex cused, pleading the privilcgo of mas querade. "There is a higher law" replied the officer; "the royul order must be obeyed." , "W ell, then, answered the incognito, "if it must lie so, it must;" and, un masking, exhibited tho ruddy visage of an Irish trooper. , . "Why, in tho name of Polyphemus I" exclaimed tho regent, as ho advanced to him ; "who and what are you ? 1 have seen you eut and drink enough for a doaon men at least, and yet you seem as empty as over." ' "Well, then," said tho trooper, "since tho sayorct must come out, plane, your royul highness, I am one of Claros's Horse that's tho guard-of-bonor to night ami when our men was ordered out, wo clubbed our money to buy a ticket, and agreed to take our turn at the supper-lal ile, turn and turn about. "What I" exclaimed the duko, "the whole troop coming to luppor?". . "Ob, it's asy, plase your highness ; sure one domino would do for all of us if ache ttik it in turn. I'm only the eighteenth man, and thcroa twelve more of us to come." Tho loud laughtorof the jovial duko, probably tho heartiest he bad hail for a long time, was tho response to this explanation, followed by a louis d'orto tbe dragoon, and a promise to keep his "snycret" till tho entire troop had supped. Tho career of tbe Irish Brigade closed wilh the approach of tho French Involution and fortunately for them, no doubt ; since, had they remained in Franco, there is little question they would havo maintained their loyally, and been massacred like tho Swiss. "Life of Sumuii Loirr" Undon, 1871.) A Qcikt Hint for IIi.'sbanus. The Troy Jiudgii, which is disgusted with some of the soller phases of the Beech-er-Tillon affair, gives the following sago advice to husbands: . " Whenever you find a stout, health)' minister of the (iosil hanging around your wife, with a 'holy and sincere ad miration and Affection,' which senti ment is reciprocated by your wif'o, hav ing a 'lofty, spiritual, religious yearn ing and pure platonic lovo lor that I merit' that attracts her frequently to is side, do yon, unsophisticated young husband, just go right out to the near est cobbler and buy a heavy pair of pegged stogy boots. Put them stogy boots rights on, and the next time that minister calls at vein residence to ped. die his 'spiritual essence' take him gently by the noat collar, make a short oration, whereot the peroration shall be, 'got out I' and then clinch the ar gument jmtHrmn with them stogie. It's the best Way to get along with an intimacy, innocent though it may be, that sometimes hringsa'heap of trouble' in lta train. -; ..

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1874. HOT WINDS OF AUSTRALIA. A correspondent ef rtie Alta Cali fornia, gives a graphle account of the hot winds ot Australia. It makes, one gasp for breath to rend it He says: "Tho colonists of Victoria and Now South Wales boast of the great beauty of their elimato. A description of the hot winds, which' are so boisterously prevalent there during short periods of tho summer months, and which arc very extraordinary in their charector and eft'octs, will help to show how fur the boast is justitiedt A misty smoko darkens the at Unisphere, which tools so oppressively hot ai to render breath ing at once laborious and painful. The sun shines with a lurid glare far hotter than when in open brilliancy, and pre senting to the eyo tbe appearance of a full moon behind a fleecy cloud. Dogs crawl, ajong with th;Jy pai-ched tongnes dangling almost to the ground and horses move on with drooping heads and convulsive gasps. All kinds of vegetation first hang their tendrils, then shrivel np, and finally yield to premature decay. And as the burn ing sirrocco increases apace, and thick clouds of dust dessicute the air, animal and vegetable life would soem to be threatened with total destruction. Cattle of every description often suo cumb to incalesccnt exhaustion and die by the road side ; fields of grain, which in tho morning wore fresh and groen, bocomo, before evening, yellow as with tho ripeness of maturity, but in reality, stunted and singed by the fiery inHuences prevailing; trees yield ing their Ban to the slakeleaa tempera ture, rapidly incinerate and cast off their but recently Inscious Iruit, and flowers pass through all the gradations of growth and development form into bud, upon into bloom, and drop their leavos in tho cauldron around, in less than a day. All nature, in fact, would appear for the time to bo trying ex periments in thennology, totally indif ferent about health and lite. The igne ous elements, so wildly careering sug gest nothing but encircling volcanoes pouring forth and scattering around their burning lava, reduced to scintit laut powder. ' "It is a scourge of the most destruc tive character. Out-door business life is virtually suspended, and the few people moving about are every moment employed in wiping off tho profuse dusty prespiratton that streams down their laem. Cafe and hotels swarm like beehives with languid, thirsty men ; and the numerous iced beverages drank would astonish the most credulous. So hour after hour passes, tho beat in creasing in intensity, and thirst becom ing more universal and insatiable. "ln-dcwr lite is alone endurable ; and rooms so carefully derived of air and light as to give them in any other weather a high fover temperature, are now comparatively cool.

TOBACCO IN ENGLAND. Chewing tobaoca, excepting the plug, cannot be obtained In all hngland, the Banbury AVirg man says. One tobac conist in London tried to smuggle some of it here, but our Amorican chewing tobacco being an adulterated article, his whole stock was confiscated. Ho confidently told me there were other ways ot amusing himselt less costly and injurious than smuggling fine-cut tobacco into England lor tho edifica tion of traveling Americans. He had a brand manufactured in Baltimore. It was pure fine-cut It was like cbowing fiddle-strings. There was a man named l'hillips staying at my bote). He came from f ennsylvnma, and was an inveterate tobacco chewer. Before ho left home an Englishman told him he could get tobacco aud everything else in London, lie didn't bring any tobacco with him because of tbia information from an English source. He told me that sea sickness was a box at the opera in comparison to the agony he endured. Had it not been tor tho prospect o! gottmg "solaco tn London - he would havo jumped overboard and had the company sued by his wife's father. it oen oe got uero aim iouiiu no to bocco his grief was terrible. It was like the Danbury boy's ball which fell in a ditch. It knew no bounds, lie haunted the tobacco stores. He pa raded the streets like a spectre out of health. no chewed cites ot cigars, smoking tobacco, and all tho ravelings out of every pocket in which ho had ever carried tobacco. Ho would talk by the hour of the tobacco he had seen thrown away because of its being dam aged, and distinctly remembered hav ing thrown away a paper ol tobacco himself twenty two years ago last March. With equal clearness ho re mcmlrored every occasion he had emp tied his pockets of the tobacco dust accumulated therein, "and," ho shriek ed In a burst of remorse, "flung it away as if it had been so much worthless sand." Tho point on which he dwelt with tho most pain was tho fact that for a period of six months he volun tarily went without tobacco, Some twelve years ago. He invariably shiv ered and turned white when reverting to it. ' ItATlixa Nicr.

Whoever is so fortunate as to visit tho Palatinate, that garden of South ern Germany, via the Itliino, should not tuil to devote a lew hours to the old Imperial city of Spoycr, in order to see Its majestic cathedral, which rises ubovo the plain as a landmark that can be soon from afar. In its design this cathedral is one of the most beauti ful, as in its vicissitudes it is ono of tho most interesting, architectural monu ments of tho ltoinun Btyle in ull Ger many. Hpeyor is one of tho oldest bishoprics in Germany. Here, owing to his par tiality for tho city, tho Emperor Con rad II determined to build a majestic cathedral, and on the 12th of July, 1031, he himself officiated uttho laying of its eorner-stono. The design of the cathe dral was, however, so colossal, that Conrad did not live to see It completed. Tbe immense structure was finished by his (,'rand-son, Henry 1 V, in 1001. And now began for tins magnificent work of art a series of misfortunes which extend through several centu ries. In tho years 1159 and 1450 its interior was destroyed by fire, so that nothing remained but its walls, which seemed to bo indestructible. Each time it was restored in more than its original magnificence, until in the year lu", in tho so-called "Reunion Vt or," toward tho end of Hay, the city was barbarously tired, reduced to ashes, in cluding the cathedral, to which many of tho citizens had flown, w ith such of their goods as they could carry. Tho French, in whoso possession tho l'uln tinato remained lor ten years, would not allow the city to bo rebuilt. It was not until tho beginning of tho eighteenth century that tho city be gan to rise slowly from its ashes. As tiir the cathedral, it remained a mass of ruins until the year 1772, when un effort begun to bo niado to rebuild it. Hardly, however, was it once more under roof, when in 1794 it was again devastated by the French. It was al ternately used by tbem as a forugo magazine and a military hospital, and when they evacuated the country it was to havo been sold at auction, but Napoleon interposed and presented it to the Catholics of the bishopric, to gether with several other churches, from the proceeds of which the cathe dral was to bo rebuilt. As, howover, tho means thus obtained wero entirely inadequate, tho work was postponed till better times. The Vienna treaty gave the Palatinate to the crown of Bavaria, and in 1816 tho King of Ba varia, Maximilian Joseph 1, vistcd his newly-acquired province and com manded as a touvenir of his visit the cathedral to be rebuilt a decree that did much toward winning the hearts of his now subjects. Tho rebuilding was not douo, it is true ,on tho same magnificent scale that tho church was originally built, but it was nevertheless dona very worthily, and was so far completed in 1824 as to admit ol the church's being used. Then succeeded Iouis I to the throne, he took it upon himself to era bollwh tho interior with ft-oKCoes alter designs by Schrnndolph, whieh now, that they are completed, mako tbe Siicyer Cathedral one of tho most beautiful in Germany as well as ono of tho largest, jt is surpassed in sizo only by the cathedral at Cologne, which covers only about fifty more feot. Tiro length of tho interior is 446 feet, the breadth of tho three naves 127 feot, the breadth including the two wings 178 feet, tho height of the two towers 2.16 feet The wholo design of tho edifice is late Unman: Twelve colossal square columns separato the principal nave from the side naves; ten steps lead from the principal nave to the "Konigscbor," under which is the imperial vault, in w bieh Conrad II, lloinrich 111, IV, and V, Philip of Swabia, Rudolf of Hapsbnrg, Adolf of JSassau, and Albreeht of Austria, to gether with the wives of several of them wero cntomliod. Tho interior of the cathedral is sim ple, noble, and severe, and, thanks to the frescoes, vory beautiful. Instead of tho etono statues of tho Emiierors outomhod here, which once adorned tho cathedral and were ruthlessly de stroyed by tho French, thoro Bro" two modern monuments to tho memory of Adoli of assail and Jtudolt ot llaps burg, and sovoral copies of celebrated religious pictures. Without going flirthcr into details, suffice it to say that the cathedral of Speyer is scarcely inferior, in every thing that interests the connoisseur in architecture, to the betttknown ca thedrals of Cologne, iluU and Stras bourg. GUN-COTTON. Gun-cotton is produced by steeping cotton fibre in a mixture of nitric acid and oil of vitriol Tho cotton does not sustain any change in Appearance by this treatment, but it increases consid erably in weight. The cotton, in fact, parts with a quantity of water and ab sorbs in its stead tho elements of the nitric acid, which are murh heavier than the water displaced. ' In this way tho cotton is Impregnated with a large amount of oxygen, which is thus ready, on the application of heat, to form gas eous compounds with the carbon of tho cotton. When this explosive substance is mado according to the Abel process, it possesses throe characteristic which render it peculiarly adapted to military engineering operations. It can be stored antl transported in the wot con dition that is saturated with moist ure in which state it absolutely unin flammable. While in this wet stnte it will explodo with terrific violence if a small portion of dry cotton lie detona ted in contact with it. Lastly it may freely he brought under fire without fear of accidental explosion. Ono of tho characteristics of gun cotton which contributes to its appli cability to military purposes is that It may bo freely brought under fire with out fear of accidental explosion ; that is to say, a package of compressed gun-cotton would not explode if struck by a rifle bullet If the gun-cotton were dry, the heat caused by tbe impact of the bullet would set It on tire, and It would then merely burn away with more or l fleroeness, according to the amount of gun-cotton in the pack age. But if tho gun-cotton were damp, the impact of the bullet would have no mora effect than It would have on wood, earth, or any like inert, sub stance. In the case of nitroglycerine compounds however, exposure to mus ketry fire would he attended by far more serious results. Under these circumstances, and at all ordinary in fantry range, a package of dynamite) or lithofracteur will explode with con siderable violence. London Ttmrt.

HI CABKKR A FT KB HAMILTON' PF.ATB A lata number of tho Now York Evening J'oAt says : Tho death of Hamilton at onco de stroyed Burr's political prospects ' He reached 1'lilladelphia within a week alter the duel, and tbenee traveled in the South, but returned to Washing ton on tho opening ol Congress, and resumed his seat as president of the Senate, that being his last torm. The next leaturo in his tno was canea "Burr's Conspiracy," for. which he was arrested and indicted, the cbargo being treason. He was, no doubt, tiie first secessionist, and hut plan probably tho creation of a now government In tho Southwest. The trial took place in Richmond, and Washington Irving saw him a prisoner in the nilcnUary, aud tits interview was no doubt niutu, ally painful. "Burr," suys Irving, "seemed In lower spirits than formerly, but he was composed Bud collected as usual." After his acquittal Burr went to f.urope, where ho suffered many privations, lie bad hopes ol interest ing Napoleon in some of his projects, but failed to obtain even an audience. Ho was at this timo much impoverish ed, and on his arrival in London was for a short time the guest of Jeremy Bentham. In 1812, just before tbe war was declared against Great Britain, be re turned to this city, where he resumed the law, but never got into a success ful practice. His chief support was derived from his pension as a colonol in tho revolutionary army, in which service ho won the highest honors. The Jumcl case revives tbe fact that ono of his exploit was a marriage with tbe eccentric madame, who soon shook him off, and never indeed bore his name. Burr had at this time lost caste, but some of his political friends clung to him, and ho had a number of influen tial relatives who treated him with kindness. Among those was his cou sin, Judge Ogdcn Edwards, in whose house on Statun Island ho passed his last days. Ho died on the 14th of Septcmlior, 1838, in his eighty-first year, une ot liurr a jiiograpners has said that his last words wore "Mad ame," but Alfred Edwards, son of the Judge, who was proseut whon Burr expired, says that ho was unable to speak, but seemed desirous of communi cating something ot importance which was on his mind. Tho remain were buried at Princeton by the side of his parents, and the funeral was honored by military ceremonies. His relatives (the Edwardses) subsequently erected a plain but elegant headstone, lie survived Tbcodosia (his daugh ter! twenty-four years, and left no children at least none that bore his narao. Tho report that tho pirate bibbs eonlessed murdering 'Jheodosia is sufficiently rofuted by the fact that when that noted criminal was in toe city orison. Burr was alive, aud if any such confession had been made - he would have heard of it Theodosia, no doubt, poriuhod in a atorm which left no survivors of the crew or pas sengers. Burr, like Cain, bore till death the mark of a great crime. ' COST OP FENCING IN THE UNITED STATES. The heaviest item of expense In farming tho heaviest, considering the profit acenring, is probably that of tcncing. In many cases fences cost more than the lands. Tho fences of the country are valued atone thousand eiglit hundred millions of dollars ; and year by year nearly one hundred mil lions of dollars are expended to keep tho fencing efficient In Illinois not less than 12,000,000 have been invested in fencing, and not less than $176,000 are annually expended to keep these "metes and bounds" in repair. If stringent fencing laws bad been adopt ed in the State of Nebraska, tho settle ment of the country would have been much retarded. But a law adapted to the needs of the country has been wisely adopted. This law relieves the settler, at the time when he needs all his money for other improvements, from tho necessity of investing a large siun in the construction of lumber fences. The law throws upon every owner of live stock the onus of keep ing his stock from straying on the cultivated lands of his neighbors. The farmor need not build fences around his cultivated fields, for horses, cattle and sheep are "fenced out" by the law. The stock when pastured have to be herded ; but the cost or herding Is not a tithe of what fencing would. Fenc gocs on, of course, in Nebraska ; but it Is live and not dead feces which are constructed. All through the settled portions of the State hedge rows are appearing and thriving. . The hedge plants most used are tho honey locust, the osage, orange and the whito willow. In some places long hedge-rows ot peach trees, from which, frequently, good crop are gathered, may be seen ; I and the peach seems to make as good a fence as the whito willow. Corret- powknt.

One of the most interesting features of tho excavations in this buried city is the discovery of many homely do mestic articles of which we have coun terparts. It is astonishing how many things in common use now were in use then. Hero you will see almost every kitchen utensil, portable cooking stoves, jelly-cuke and butter moulds in the im itation ot birds and flower ; pots, ket tles, crocks, dishes, and cups and saucers, 8ioons, knives and forks, dip pcrs, skimmers, sauce-pans, frying-pans, lamps, lamp-stands, flesh-hooks, bra ziers for charcoal. - In a word, pretty much every kitchen, dining-room or chamber article found in modern use entered into the economy of the daily life of Boman antiquity. All tho article of a lady' toilet, including jewelry of all kinds, gold and silver ornament, coral and precious stones, were found in houses in Pompeii. Taken from the retail shops wero steel yards, balances, weights and measures. From a doctor's office was recovorod a full set of surgical instruments, includ ing "pulikins" for extracting teeth, and trepans for drilling holes in the skull. There is any number of shoemaker, tailor, carpenter, and blacksmith tools, ajaad, anotooj, iniplcnutiULB uf alilHMH every present mechanical operation. Taken altogether, tho collection of articles taken from the dead city is a surprising revelation to every one, showing that the ancients invented ten thousand implement and article of common lite which we still use with little improvement thereon, and with ont giving them credit therefor. Ninety year have elapsed since the United State first attempted to raise a national monument to George Wash ington and yet the work is not com pleted. The tottering and unfinished obelisk that rears itself on the banks of tbe Potomac is alt we have to show for nearly a century of talk and bom bast, and fustian. After much prelim inary gasconading the corner stone was laid in 1848, and work confined with tolorable regularity nntd 1854, when the funds were exhausted, after an ex penditure of (230,000. Since that time only four feot have been added to the height ot the monument and tho re ceipts are hardly sufficient to pay the petty running expense of taking care of the property. The Asssociation holds a balance of about 115,000, in cash and securities. New York has voted an appropriation of $10,000 con ditioned upon the collodion of enough money to completo tho shaft. New Jorscy has subscribed $3,000 and Min nesota 2,O0 on the same terms :' and California by a vote of the Legislature has resolved to give $1,000 a year un til the monument is finished, but the Treasurer of tho Society has not re ceived the money. Privato subscrip tions ceasea long ago. The press has d eroted much space, from time to time to the discussion of this national dis grace, and now that a fresh appropria tion is asked from Congrerw, it comes np again. Surely, a more fitting cele bration of tbe centennial of American independence could not be Reformed than the completion of this memorial to the man who did so much to bring that indeiiendi'itoo about.

It is enough to say of him that ho was a Greciuu philosopher. Whether he ever had a sheepskin di ploma or not, don't matter. History gives him th credit of introducing to tho world the familiar theory of tho signs of tbe Zodiuo, and of being tho first ono to calculate eclipses. Thin in formation was given to the world shortly after bis return from Egypt, that famous old sent of learning in those, day. Liko other wiso men of bis ago lie gloried in imparting inatfuo tion to his peers, and particularly to tho youth of bis county. Anttximan der wa ono of his fortunate pupils, and not only made himself master of tho science of his tutor, but carried hi researches oven beyond that distin guished old sago. Without tho assist unco of any corner-lot endowment or otbor anxiliary that wo know of, ho set up a school, and probubly taught philosophy. To him is ascribed tho honor of discovering tho obliquity of tho Zodiac. He was a (anions t rareler, gleaning from cverj; part of tho then known world niulcriuls for tho dovclop. nient uf science ; aud, tho bet tor to dis seminate tho information derived from his studies and travels, ho pnhlished a map of tho world as It was then known. To him, therefore, belong tho honor of being the first inventor of maps. , Two hundred years later, Socrates, by way of reproof to Alcibindc for his pride, told him to look on the map for nts rstntes f which"! gorst testimony" that tbe Grecians made use of them. Later along down tho highways of human invention and progress we find tho Phoenicians making use of maps a a guide to their commercial pursuits, in which they well-nigh monopolized the trade of India that inexhaustible source of supply. Scsostris, King of Egypt, also caused his dominions to bo mapcd; and Ptolemy Claudius, of Al exandria, issued a mnji of tho world, and twenty-six other maps, on which . to illustrate the sciences of which he was master. Agathoda'inon was his draftsman. Says Varro, the Romans issued maps of their conquered coun tries ; and, in tho days of Casur, Peu tenger drew a map of the world, so culled. It was twenty-one feet long, and only ono foot wide. Its object appears to have been to map the mili tary route to Roman colonic; to which purpose Europe, Northern Af rica, and Vi astern Asia wero distorted out of proportion worse than some of the circular railroad-maps of our pres ent day distort tbe States through which they pass, to mako their own route appear the-most direct ' The Arabian scholars mado use of the' mas of Ptolemy, and pcrhais issued others. But a hiatus in mup literaturo of sovoral centuries succeeds tho decline and fall of the colossal pow er of Borne, in which little but the germ-cells of art and science were pre served from destruction. These began to show tbemselvos in Venice, Ger many, England, Franco aud Spain in tho ntteenth century; and maps, with other literature, mado their re-appear-anco from these favored places. Of the early specimens of English maps th writer has many in his possession, some of which are venerable with the dust of two centuries. One of these is an atlas of tho world. The engrav ing is rcspoetablo and the coloring delicate; in which respect it is more artistic than some of the maps of tho. present day, in which an excess of color serves to conceal imperfections in engraving. Thanks are due to Zehina Eastman, who procured these maps tor me during his eight years' Consulship in Bristol. These early English niaiM ir.ro pMtfMtrorl on opoar tho noo uf lithographic stono being then un known : but the commercial aim liawt cned along, when common poopft be gan to discard coarso blouse-shirt for immacculato linen, washed and starched with glossiness. Alois Senfelder wa one of these devotees to cleanly habi tudes, and employed a washwoman. He was also systematic in tho method of doing business, aud invoiced hi list of aoiled linen as he gave it out. On oue occasion he happened to do this on the smooth surface of a polished stono in bis possession. The facility with which it took the impressiom sug gested to him tho idea that printim? could be done on it Ho tried his new plan and success was the result This invention, achieved in 1795, was im mediately put in practice. Home anil London introduced the new art in 1807, Paris in 1814, and tho United States iu 1822. Tho result has boon cheap maps for the million a desideratum aus picious for the necessities of the new States and growing cities of the West 1 The invention of transferring im pression from an engraving to a pol ished stono was not put in practice till about 18-15. By this process as many small maps as the sheet will hold can be printed at a singlo impression. Steam-printing of maps is a very re cent invention -scarco a decade old. Small maps are rapidly printed by this process for circular maps, ami the maps wanted in largo numbers, if not too large in size ; but maps, par excel- lence, used in ottlccs, and good pocket- maps, are printed on hand presses at an expense at least ten times greater than ordinary type-printing. The col ors are put on by hand with brushes, and not printed, as some suppose. Tho drawing of mnps is a study which has lomea me integrity ot several genera tions. How to mako a spherical surface on R superficial one that is tho problem. On this subject it Is proper to say that ino map-drawers ot to-day are work ing on tho plans our fathers gavo us, such as Mayer, Galileo and Mercator. Arrowinith of England and thcColton of tho ; United State havo been tho foremost map men in English litera ture of tho present "cntury, and it is only a just tribute to them to say that their maps will bo preserved in the archives of tbeir respective countries Rs the most faithful representations of thciradvanccmcnt in the arts of civiliza tion; albeit the Hold in tbo United States is too large for one man, or for a hundred, where towns are springing into existence with a rapidity hitherto unparalleled in tho history of the world.
