Miscellaneous. The Struggle and Triumph " Seventeen kreutiers for a morning' work !" exclaimed a pretty but sloven s ly-dressed young woman, standing at the door of an apartment in a mean looking house in one of the narrow streets of Vienna, addressing a man of low stature and sallow complexion who had just come in, "And the printer's mottling after you ever since you went out!

Your patrons admire and ap plaud, but they will not pay; yet you will drudge away your life in this un grateful occupation. I tell you, Joseph Haydn, music is not the thing!" Here a knock was heard at the door; and she with exclamations of impatience flounced away. The una,rtunate artist threw himself on a seat, and leaned his head on a table covered with notes of music. So entirely had he yielded him self to despondency, that he did not move, even when the door opened, till the sound of a well-known voice close at his side startled him Non his melan choly reverie. "How now, Haydn! what is the matter, my 110 y ?" The speaker was an old man, shabbily dressed, but with something striking and even commanding in his noble fea tures. His large, dark flashing eyes, his olive complexion, and the contour of his face bespoke him a native of a sun- Bier clime than that of (;ermany. Hay dn sprang up and welcomed him with a cordial embrace. " And when, my dear Porpora, did you return to Vienna:'• , he a4ked. "This morning only; uud my find cars was to find you out. But how is this? I find you thin, and pale, and gloomy. Where are your spirits " Gone," murmured the composer, and dropped his eyes on the floor. His visitor regarded Irfin with a look of af fectionate interest. In answer to Feora's enquiries, Haydn told him Of ,t m he struggles and failures by which he had been led to doubt his genius, till he had succumbed under the crushing hand of poverty. , — " I am chained," he concluded bitterly; and, giving way to the anguish of his heart, he burnt into tears Foment shook his head, and was si lent for a few moment'. At length he said : " I can see plainly," remarked one of Haydn's friends whom we will call Manuel, " that he will write no more." "He has done enough and now we are ready for the farewell of Haydn," said another. "The farewell?" "Did you never hear the stony? have heard him tell it often myself. It concerns one of his most celebrated symphonieS. The occasion was this: Among the musicians attached to the service of Prince Esterhazy, were sev eral who, during his sojourn upon his estates, were obliged to leave their wives at Vienna. At one time his highness a prolonged his stayt Esterhazy estate considerably beyond the usual 'period. The . dliwonsolate husbands entreated I taydn to become the interpreter of their wishes. Thus the idea came to him of composing, a symphony in which each instrument ceased, one after another He added at the close of every part the direction, ' Here the light is extinugish ed.' Each musician, in turn, rose, put out his candle, rolled up his music, and went away. The pantomime had the' desired effect ; the next morning the Prince gave orders for their return to the capital. " He used to tell us a somewhat sim ilar story of the origin of his Turkish or military symphony. You know the high appreciation he met with in Ids vis its to England ; but notwithstanding the praise and homage he received, he could not prevent the enthusiastic audience from falling asleep during the perform ance of his compositions. It occurred to him to devise some kind of ingeni ous revenge. In this piece, while the current is gliding softly, and slumber beginning to steal over the senses of his audience, a sudden and unexpected burst of martial music, tremendous as a thunder-peal, startles the surprised sleepers into active attention. I would have liked to see the lethargic listeners, with their eyes and mouths thrown open by such an unlooked-for shock !" A stop was suddenly put to the con versation by the commencement of the performance. " The Creation," the first of Haydn's oratorios, wwegarded as his greatest work, and had often elicited the most heartfelt applause. Now that the aged and honored coin poser was present, probably for the lest time, to hear It, an emotion too deep for utterance scented to pervade the vast audience. It seemed as If every eye in the assembly were fixed on the calm, noble face of the venerable artist, as if every heart beat with love for him. Then came, like a succession of heavenly melodies, the musie of The Creation," 'tad the listeners felt as if transported back to the infancy of the world. At the words, "Let there be light, and there was light," when all the instruments united in one full burst of gorgeous harmony, emotion scented to shake the the "My friend, my I WIWI - 0(1°r !

Such spindle masters would be a walking discredit to our larder, which is truly a spendthrift one." So saying, with a laugh, the haughty nobleman dismissed his new dependent. The artist chaffed not at the imperious tone of patronage ; for he did not yet feel the superiority of his own vocation. It was the bondage time of genius; the wings were not yet grown which were to bear his spirit up, when it broodr;d over a new world. The life which Haydn led in the ser vice of Prince Esterhazy to which ser vice h e was p eril - l imp:icor attached try Nicholas, the sneer:4;or of Antoine, in the quality of c hapel masters, was one so easy that ic might have proved fatal to an arout more inclined to luxury and pl e a s ure, or less devoted to his art, Now, for the first time, relieved from the care of the future, he was enabled to wield to th© impulse of his genius, ana create works which gradually extended his fame over all the countries of Europe. On the evening of n day in the begin ning of April, 1869, all the lovers of art in Vienna were assembled in the theatre to witness the performance of the orato rio of " The Creation." The entertain ment had been given in honor of the composer of the illustrations Haydn—by his numerous friends and admirers. He had been enticed from Gumpendorf, his retreat in the suburbs, the cottage sur rounded by a little garden which he hail purchased after his retirement from the Esterhazy service, and where he was spending the last years of his life. Three hundred musicians assisted at the per formance. The entire audience rose and greeted with rapturous applause the white-haired man, who, led forward by the most distinguished nobles in the city, was conducted to the place of lion ! or. There, seated with princesses at his right hand, beauty smiling upon hi in, the centre of a circle of nobility, the ad- mired of all, the object of the acclama tions of thousands—who would not tone maid that Haydn had reached the summit of human greatness, had more than realized the proudest visions of his youth? His serene countenance, show ed that prosperity, had not overcome him, but that amid the smiles of fortune he had not forgotten the true excellence of man.

Astrondmers have been revealing so many wonders in the .tfist globe which rules the planetary scheme, that we can not yet hope to see the startling results of their researches co-ordinated into a consistent whole. On every hand new marvels are being brought to light.— And bne time, Mr. Lockyer surprises us by exhibiting the amazing velocities with which the, solar storms rage across the blazing surface of our luminary.— At another, the energetic astronomer who presides over the Roman Observa tory tells us of water within the fierce tumult of the solar spota The Kew observers track the stranger influences of the planets on the solar at mosphere, watching not only the great tide of spots which sweeps in the ten year period over the solar storm-zones, and then leaves our sun clear from speck or stain, but also the ripples of spot-for mation which come in shorter periods, and seem inextricably blended to ordi nary observers with the great periodic disturbances. Lastly, Lockyer, Hug gins Rollner, and Secchi describe-the magic changes of form which pass over tongues of flame, projecting thousands of miles from the solar surface. We have before us as we write a. series of colored prominence-pictures taken by Dr. Zollner, the eminent pho tometrican. It is impossible to contem plate these strange figures without a sense of the magnificence of the prob lem which the sun presents to astrono mers. Here are vast entities—flames, if we will, but flames unlike all those with which we are familiar. And these vast tongues of fire assume forms which speak to us at once of the action of comes of the utmost violence and intensity.— The very aspect of these objects at once teaches this, but it is the rapid changes bf place and of figure to which the spots are subjected that are most significant on this point. Here is a vast cone-shaped flame, with a mushroom-shaped head of enormous proportions, the whole object standing 10,000 or 17,000 miles from the sun's surface. I n the cone figure we see the uprush of lately imprisoned gases, in outspreading head the sudden dimin ution of pressure as these gases reach the rarer upper ‘ittmospeere. But turn front this object to a series of six pic tures placed beside it, and we see the solar forces in action. First, there is a vast flame, some 18,000 miles high, linseed towards the right, as though some fierce wind were blowing upon it. It extends in this direction some four or five thousand miles. The next picture represents the same ohject ten minutes later. The figure of the prominence has wholly changed. It is now a globe shaped mass, standing on a narrow stalk of light above a row of flame hillocks. It is bowed towards the left, so that in those short minutes the whole mass of the flame has swept thousands of miles away front its former position. Only two minutes later, and again a complete change of appearance. The stalk and the flame hillocks have vanish ed, and the globe-shaped mass has be come elongated. Three minutes later, the shape of the prominence has altered so completely that one can hardly recognize it for the same.— The stalk is again visible, but the upper mass is bowed down on the right so that the w hole figure resembles a gigantic A, without the cross-bar, and with the down-stroke abnormally thick. This great A is some 20,000 miles in height, and the whole mass of our earth might be bowled between its legs without touching them! Four minutes pass, and again the figure has changed. The flame-hillocks reappea i r, the down-stroke of the A begirts to raise itself front the sun's surface. Lastly, after yet another interval of four minutes, the figure of the prominence has lost all resemblance to an A, and may now be likened to a camel's head looking towards the right. The whole series of changes has occupi ed but twenty-three minutes, yet the flame exceede . d our earth in volume ten fold at the least. But Mr. Lockyer, has recorded an instance of a yet more mar. vellous nature. A vast prominence-ex tending seventy or eighty thousand miles front the sun's surface vanished altogether in ten minutes. The very way in which Zollner's drawings were taken savours of the marvellous. We have spoken of them as colored. They are ruby-red, anti so the prominences appeared to the astronomer. The real light of the prominences-is not ruby-red, however, but rose-colored, with faint in dications of pink, or even bluish tints. The fact is, that by the new method of observation, the nnage of a promi nence is formed by only a certain part of its light. We may say that out of several colored images of the same prominence, the astronomer selects one only for examination. The explanation of this is worth con sidering, as it involves the essence of the method by which the prominences are seen at all. When we analyze light , with a simple prism as Newton did, we got instead of a round spot of white— that is, mixed light—a rose of overlap , ping spots of different color. It was only when, instead of a round spot, a fine line of white lihht was a Ila 13,,d, that one could detect the absence of images of this lino along certain parts of the rainbow-colored streak—in other words, it was thus only that the dark lines of the spectrum could be seen. And it was to see these lines more cleafly that the slit of the spectroscope was made sonar , row and the rainbow-speetrum made so long by spectroscopists. But the 'ob servers of the prominences go back to the old method. If they used a narrow slit, a narrow strip of the prominence would alone form its spectrum, which would consist of a few bright lines. But I by having a wide slit the whole promi nence forms its spectrum, which consists of a few bright pictures of the prominen ces. There is a green picture corre sponding to the bright spectral line called F, a red picture corresponding to the bright spectral line called C', and so on. If the whole set of pictures were formed at once we could see none of them, for there would be side by side with them the blazing solar spectrum which would obliterate them altogether, just as in ordinary telescopic observa tion the bright sunlight blots out the prominences from view. But if the observer uses such a battery of prisms that the solar spectrum would be very long indeed, Ind if he admits to view only that part of the spectrum op posite which one of the prominence-im ages exists, he ean then see that image quite distinctly, for the neighboring part of the solar spectrum is so reduced in splendor that it no longer:obliterates the prominence figure. In this way, then, the observer selects one or other of the pictures of a promi nence, either the red or the green pic ture, to examine. And strangely enough it is by no means certain that the two pictures are alike. Rather it is highly probable that they are different, though we have not space here either to indi cate the reasons for believing this, or to explain the significance of the circum- stances should it eventually be estab tidied. It seems to us that when we consider the real dimensions of the solar globe, we appreciate more fully the wonderful nature of those processes of action indi cated by recent researches, than when we regard these without direct refer- ! once to the sun's magnitude. How many of us really appreciate the enor mous volume of the sun ? We read cer tain figures in books of astronomy, but do we grasp their full significance? There is, however, a simple way of view ing the matter, which at once opens our eyes to the vastness of the solar globe.— If that the earth on which we move, the scene of all those interests which we deem so important, bears so minute a proportion to the sun that if he were represented by a two-feet globe, the earth would on the souse scale, ap pear no larger than a cherry stone, we see what wonderful processes of action there must be which aro at work upon the solar surface. We recognize in our hurricanes the action of nature in her fiercest moods, but the solar hurricanes would in an instant destroy the whole globe on which we live. We wonder at the volcano which lays a whole city in ashes, but our earth would be swept like a mote before the rush of a solar volcano. We see, lastly, in the earth quake which upheaves a continent, the most energetic of all the forges at work upon our earth, but the ledst of the throes which convulse the solar surface would toss a globe like ours as the wares of orean toss the lightest sea drift. There waa a severe earthquake at Ba kersville, Cal., on the night of the 3d inst. The Telegraphers' strike continues, neither party as yet showing a disposi tion to yield. A. letter from L. N.

Report of the Surveyor GeneraL , penn, sylvanta Land Patents—Payment or Dereirsed nutatzus. General Jacob M. Campbell has Just made to Governor. Geary the annual re port of the SurveYor General's Office. We present such parts of it as are of gen eral interest : During six.years, embracing the period since the passage of the act of 20th of May, 1864, the records shops that four thousand six hundred and thirty (4,630) tracts of land have been patentedand that the -sum of two hundred' and twenty-nine thousand five hundred and forty dollars and six cents (522 0 ,5 4 0 06 ) have been paid into the State Treasury through this Department as against twelve hundred and eighteen tracts patented and sixty-eight thousand seven hundred and sixty-three dollars and fifty-seven cents ($68,763 57) paid in during the six years preceeding 1864. This augurs well for the present system of collecting these accounts, for if the bare publication of the law has brought about so much activity on the subject of patenting lands, it is but reasonable to expect that the lien dockets, which bring the matter home to the people, as they do, by showing what tracts are unpat ented will cause the great body of own ers of unpatented lands to liquidate the amounts due the State. The act of Bth April, 1869, which re strains the Attorney General from pro ceeding to collect the liens under the seventh section of the act of 20th May, 1864, for one year from the date at which the " county land lien dockets" are for warded to the counties, respectively, was eminently just and proper, because it gives those interested ample time to prepare their cases, and send in their applications and receive their patents, without incurring the additional cost that a suit in the Courts of Dauphin county would impose upon them. But it is not thought that it would be to the best interest of either the State or the debtor to extend the time thus limited. Now that the lands have appreciated in valde to such an extent that the on price of them, even where the whole of it remains unpaid (and the proportion of such cases to the whole number of liens is very small ), is scarcely -an item when compared with their present value, there can be no reason, either in equity or public policy, why payment should not be made and the titles fully com pleted. How manifiest and striking the difftnrence between the leniency of the State towards those owing her on ac count of lands, and the rigorous collec tion of churns against other defaulting debtors! Many aditional reasons might be ad duced why these - long deferred claims should be settled, not the least of which is the necessity and cost of maintaining this Department. If the necessary measures shohld be adopted, and the laws vigorously enforced, I can see no valid reason why all the accounts, of every character, should not be entirely settled in four or five years, the De ' pertinent, as such, elosed, and the build ing and records, with a sufficient num ber of clerks to furnish official copies, placed under the control of some other Department of the State Government. The following regulations relative to issuing patents are published for the information and guidance of owners of unpatented lands: I. The patent must issue to the actual owner of the land or party holding title under the warrantee, or to the executors, trustees, or heirs and legal representa tives of the person in whom title was vested at death, or to the guardians of minor children of the deceased 11. Warrantees wlio remain the own ers of the land warranted and surveyed to them, can obtain patents in their own names (if no caveatsremains undeterm : Med) without furnishing any brief or statement of title, upon payment of back purchase money, interest and fees. 111. Executors, trustees, and• guar dians representing the warrantee, or his heirs, who apply for patents, should produce evidence of their appointment as such. IV. When the land has passed out of I the ownership of the original warrantee, F or party who took out the office right, the applicant for patent will be required to furnish evidence of ownership. V. The present owner of a part of a tract of land surveyed in pursuance of any given warrant, desiring to have a patent in his own name can obtain it by haying the county surveyor make return of survey of such part. In making the survey the county surveyor should, be- I sides giving the courses and distances and quantity of acres in the particular part, indicate the whole of the original tract by dotted lines. The applicant will only be required to pay: his proper , tion of the whole amount dne on the tract, with fees. Evidence of ownership " to accompany application. VI. When an unpatented original tract has been sold and. sub-divided, the SeNa jai present owners may unite in an application for patent and statement of title, and upon payment of amount due, with patent and other fees, a patent will issue to them, the said applicants, their heirs andassigns, according to their re spective rights and interests, without setting forth the s 'partieular interest of each. VII. In cases where it is difficult to submit the evidence of title required by this office in order to obtain a patent, any one or more of the owners of an un patented tract can, through this De partment, discharge tree lien against said tract by the payment of the pur , chase money, interest and fees shown to be due by s the land lien docket, and the interest since accrued, and a patent can at any time afterwards issue to those entitled to it upon proof of ownership.

Ancient Prohibitory Laws In Connect The Hartford Courant exhumes the annexed law, which it says was passed by a " general court " which sat in that city in 16CA: For inasmuch as it is observed, that many abuses are crept In and commit ted, by frequent taking of tobacko: It is ordered by the authority of this courte, that no person under the age 21 years, nor any other that hath not al ready accustomed himselfe to the use thereof, shall take any tobacko until hee hath brought a certificate under the hands of some who are approved for knowledge and skill in phisick, that it is usefule for him, and also, that hee hath received a lycense from the court for the same. And for the regulating of those who either by their former taking it, have to their own apprehen sions, made it necessary for them or upon due advice, are pursuaded to the use thereof. It is ordered, That no man within this colonye, after the publication here , of, shall take am, - tobacko, publiquely, in the street, higliwayes, or any barns, yards, or upon training dayes, in any open places, under the penalty of six pence for each offence against this order, in any the perticulars thereof, to bee paid without gainesaying upon convic tion, by the testimony of one witness, that is without just exception, before any one magistrate. And the consta bles in the several) townes are required to make presentment to each perticular courte of such as they doe understand can evict to be transgressors of this order. The Minnesota Legislature met yes terday, and Governor Marshall's mess age was read. The Governor reports the funded State debt at $350,000, and said he had communicated with the General government in regard to the danger of an Indian raid upon the fron tier settlements. After the reading of this message, the new State Officers were installed, and Governor Austin delivered his inaugural. He said there were 783 miles of completed railroad in the State against 315 miles on January 1, 1867. He also recomended action in view of the danger of an Indian raid. Chlnese Currency The antiquity of the Chinese Commer. eial System. , The Hong Hong correspondent of the Cincinnati Commerciat writes : In finance, and all the machinery of trade by means of letters of credit and bills of exchange . , both. foreign and do mestic, the Chinese 'have nothing to ream from theWestemnations. Among diem those commercial instruments have been in use from an antiquary without date. They are, however', ig norant of the protest, They regard the indorsement of a bill as an uncondition al requiring - no exactness as to demand and notice of non-pay ment; consequently, protest isnot need ed to fix liability. They are a " hard money" people. Their currency is me tallic. Silver is their standard of value, and the Mexican dollar is the recognized exponent. Nevertheless, if weight and purity be correct, coinage is not essen tial.. While silver in any shape, coined or uncoined, is money, goldin no shape is money. It is, like lead, simply a commodity, the value of which is un fixed and fluctuating. The nominal measure of value is the tael ; but this, like the British pound sterling, has no representative in circulation. The Chinese tael, as a unit of measure , has, however,aadvantages over the liritish pound in this, that the tael is divisible fractionally by a decimal ratio, while the pound is divided arbitrarily. The statement that they Are a hard money people is true merely of the gov ernment, and it must not be accepted as stating that the Chinese people are ignorant of or opposed to a mixed cur rency derived from banking system of their own divising. On the contrary, bills of banks in good standing circulate as freely among the Chinese as do greenbacks among the Americans.— Banking systems are not novelties in China. The rudiments of banking and paper money are traceable among the Chinese back to a period older than the Christian era. In the year 119, B. C. an Emperor of the Hahn dynasty raised revenue by the issue of a currency call ed phee-phec " value in skAns " which were bills for circulation, Viand somely embroidered and plated, made of skins of certain white deer taken in the Emperors's park, and which by royal degree were issued and stamped at about sixty dollars' value. It was not, however, till a thousand years later, that paper money became a currency common to China. And it is wonderful to note the genevl similarity between the financial expedients de vised by the Chinese centuries before America was discovered and the system devised by the Americans themselves within the last half century. Nine hundred years ago, A. D. 990, the found er of the renowned Soung dynasty cc tablished a government bank of " dis count and deposit." Under this system provision was made whereby merchants and capitalists were permitted to deposit coin and certain kinds of merchandise in the Imperial Treasury, receiving therefor certificates, called piantisian— " convenient money." These certifi cates, being thus secured by deposits of property (not " public stocks") were ac cepted by the people as a currency, and obtained general circulation throughout the Empire. The government hank of discount and deposit continued for more than one hundred years in successful operation, and its circulation reached to about three millions of silver ounces— an enormous sum as tire world then was. During this time individuals, seeing the success of this institution under Government control, organized an 149- ' sociation for conducting banking busi er. their nooa-Nunt Ma, reviewed deposits and Issued their bills, called Kiao-tsu, "exchanges." This was their "individual liability" system the on the principle of -P free banking." It was directed, by sixteen of the richest houses in the Empire, and its bills were , largely circulated. But the evils of the ! system were riot wanting then, as they , have not been wanting since. The bank made excessive issues. The security' proved insufficient. The " individual liability " bank failed, turd much litiga tion and public distress ensued. Seeing the mischief growing out of this " wild cat " mode of banking, the Emperor abrogated the right in individ uals to issue bills of credit to circulate as money, reserving to the Govern ment the prerogative of supplying to the people the currency required. He took measures accordingly, mid estab lished a bank of issue at Vinchan, the notes of which were called Kiantaz, " changelings." This was their Na tional Bank " system, and its circula tion came to represent two and a half millions of silver ounces Finding that the banking system protnoted public convenience, and the bills were acceptable throughout the Empire, the Government deemed it ad visable to establish other banks in dif ferent provinces, under local directories. This was their " State Bank " system. The evils inherent to the system be came conspicuous. The banks being provincial, the circulation of their k sues became local, so that bills issued in one provine were not current in an other. In A. D. 1160, to meet extraordinary military expenditure, the Commission ers of the Revenue were directed to issue bills in circulation founded on the Im perial revenues. and customs. These bills were made receivable for all public dues of the empire. This was their " legal-tender" currency. In six years an amount of these bills, representing about forty-fourmillionsofsilverounces, were issued. China was, of course, deeply in debt ; she had probably a war of " secession." Her " legal-tender cur rency" depreciated, leading to a won derful enhancement of prices for all commodities under this immense infla tion of her paper. Something over a hundred years later, in A. D., 1287, when the Mongols, un der Kuhlahi-Kanh, became masters of China, the issue of paper money was almost unrestrained, and it consequently I depreciated almost to worthlessness. The Manchus, the present rulers of China, unlike their Mongolian proto types, seem to have been from the be ginning ',a hard-money dynasty. They have never attempted the issue of paper currency. There is, nevertheless paper money, issued by private bankers among the Chinese, in circulation among them at the present time. The Japanese have also long had their paper money, called Inuni-zeni. Its use there dates back to about A. D. 1320. It I has never been issued there to any ex cess, so as to drive out of use their cons mon coin, and has consequently always I maintained its credit unimpaired. To Store Celery for the Winter. If frost or water reaches the tops, the leaves and stalks will decay. Select a dry day, when the earth is not wet, and make a ridge of the soil, as high as your celery stalks are longsay eighteen inches or two feet in height, pointed at the top. Now dig up your celery taking great care not to shake the dirt from the roots, and place the heads of the celery on both sides of the ridge, roots up, heads down, pack them closely together the whole length of the ridge, and cover the stalks and roots with dry earth. Now place another layer of celery, then a covering of earth, and so continue until all are buried. Cover the whole with earth to the depth of eighteen inches or two feet. Before the snow falls deep, place hemlock-boughs, straw or leaves thickly over the whole—the former being the most frost-proof.— Three tiers deep is enough for one ridge. Celery will keep in this manner fresh and clean. Some prefer to cover the stalks with dried leaves before the earth is put on, thinking thereby they pre_l " rusting." I Double Man All the stories told of the Siamese twins hardly equal this of the Scotch double man, of whom the following ac count is given by the Rerum Seotiarum Historia : "During the reign of James of Scotland, and at his court, there lived a man double above the waist and single below that region. The King caused him to be carefully brought up. He. rapidly acquired a knowledge of music, the two heads learned several languages, they debated together, and the two up per halves occasionally fought. They lived generally, however, in the great est harmony. When the lower partiof the body was tickled, the two indivldp als felt it together, but when, on the other hand, one a other individuals touched, he alone felt the facts This monstrous being died at the age of 28 years. One of the bodies died several days before the other. A despatch from New Orleans, to the War Department, announces the death, by congestion of the lungs, of General Jos. A.
