work at large. What remains for us to do is
therefore not-so : much to go on presenting
specimens as to record the general impression
of Miss, ilitford's character left on the mind
after this full and curious self-revelation. But
a word of compliment to the editor, or,rather
editors, should precede all elSe.- The Hey. Mr.
Harness, when " the old hamper of, dpsty let
tkre *as set before him, entered upOn an
operation the reverse' of that of 'the Arab
fisherman when he unstopped the vial; in the
old Story the genie escaped ire)* its polished
*prison, dark, vague, vast and tumultuous; the
present task Was to change what Was dark and
vague and vast When iniiitiscined' into ptiliShed
and graceful liberty. Many of the
letters were repetitions, the gossip' of,
the day being dispatched by the indefatigable
correspondent north, south, east and west, iii
nearly' the same form and words; and all had
become somewhat dirty and forbidding; nearly
all were undated; and the best had been written
en a series of old fly-leaves and handy scraps,
and then posted in an envelope, which had got
}dot. .From all this seething confusion and
must the editor's narrative is decanted off,
limpid, clear and beading, and the bouquet
which must have escaped him in his dustand,
moil comes fresh and pungent to, the public.
Miss Mitford may have been homely, but she
is charming. The sweet, keen good sense, re
lieved with a cordial„ humor, of Miss Austen,
is' hers; it is the beauty or mind, cheerful,
prOnd and bright, never for an instant poseut,
pinfectly'Self-possessed and easy in handling
the matters adapted to its appreciation, and dis
missing other things with 'a lady's
pleasant " There, that's one of those
horrid subjects men interest themselves
about." , She disposes of the unlucky
Mrs. Stowe with a simple recoil of incompati
bility : " I cannot 'read Uncle Toni, it is so
forced and 'unnatural." Her own faculty,
painting from life and giving the look of life,
was what she apPreciated, and the absence of
which in literary work deprived it of interest,
even when fine in other respects. "As to the
adorers of Alfred Tennyson, they unluckily
haunt'one at all seasons; I liked some of Alfred
Tennyson's earlier poems; but I confess I like
them much less." She was a very woman,
and.herjudgment could scamper., lightly aver.
to the side where her affections were engaged.
What pleased her in Tennyson, of course, was
the ballad taken from one of her own " Vil
lage" sketches, and the group of idyls in that
style and of that time. And she was disposed
to bug all America because Mr. Fields would
send her over hampers of books and photo
graphs and transatlantic editions Of her
own works. Add' to , this that she
inherited from the age when Wal
ter 'Scott's grandmother read Aphra..
Beim; the well of ancient English was pure
and undefiled for.her so long as it kept that
certain national, virile flavor of which She was
so unfailing .a judge: when bedridden and
dying, the old lady, between her prayers, lived
on "Humphrey Clinker," and tasted and
judged wrom Jones," just as in earlier life she
would escape from the inartistic Waverley and
the puling Lake School into libraries of stir
ring, strong, male old English. Add to that,
again, she represented a filial sentintent that
we suppose is positively dead now among cub.
tivated people. She believed in an unworthy
parent, and wore herself out supporting him;
just like the character.i in stories, not like the
writers of' them. With this, the outline of this
rare, tender, wise, infantine, ugly, sweet-eyed
woman of a past age is complete ; shall we
ever kneW one again, 'so lovable and quaint,

[Front the Cleveland Leaderj
At the last meeting of the Society of Histo
rians and Antiquarians in this city, the new
and interesting subject of the inscriptions on
the rocks at Independence, in this county, and
other places in this State, was discussed. Dr.
JAL Salisbury has been engaged for many
years in examining them. He has taken Ate
simile copies of those near the "Black Hand,"
in Licking county. A large part of them are
obliterated by time and the destructive proclivi
ties of man. The Doctor was not present, as ex
' pected, to explain his sketches of the rock in
scriptions, but had filed with the Society some
time since several copies and a paper 'giving
' detailed descriptions. The paper relating to
those of independence was read in connection
with his illustrations. In Schooleraft's work
on the North American Indians, published by
the government, an engraving is given pur
porting to be a copy of the stone at Indepen
dence which is so far from being correct as to
be of little value. '
On the sth of June, 1560, Dr. Salisbury, in
conapany with Dr. Lewis of Newburg, Super
intendent of the Lunatic Asylum, went to this
place and took a more correct copy. To make
it complete in every particular requires a copy
by photograph, which has been promised by
Mr. T. H. Johnsen of this city.
It was discovered in 1853 by Messrs. B:
Wood and W. P. Bushnell. A large flat sur
face of the coarse-grained sandstone in which
are the celebrated quar r i es _ o f i o d epow i ence
was stripped of the ea' Lb and revealed charac
ters cut in the rock from half au inch to an
inch deep. Over them was growing a tree a
foot in diameter, and near by an oak four feet
through at the stump. This tree had falleu
and )ay across the sculptured surface. When,
the stone' church at li!dependente way built,
part . of this rock with the inseriptioli was pit
into.the West wall for preservation 'by :dr.
Budinell and other intelligent citizens, ituil
thus it was saved from destruction. it is

sculptured- , feet of wolveS. 'There are on the
slab in the church several carved impressions
in pairsthat follow each other in regnlar order,
something like tracks, and which Dr. Salisbury
conceives to be intended for the human foot
wearing a moccasin. In front of each impres
sion are dot% also in pairs: The supposed
moccasin tracks are of different sizes, from :31
to, Ot inches long, always in'pairs and always
accompanied by the dots about au inch in
diameter. On the upper part of the slab is a
figure something like h. fish-spear with three
prongs; each of which iS split at the end,
malting six points. There. are besides some
less prominent 'workings, partly obliterated,
among theme the bird track character,
which Is common in other rock inscriptions.
in Belmont county, four miles west of
'Barnesville, are two large blocks Of sandstone,
on each of which are numerous sculptured
figures,in: in any respects resembling those at In
dependenee. The central figure is a • rude snake
with the naked human foot of various sides,
not in pairs, and the moccasin tracka.
These are not as deep or as Welkle . flued as
those at Independenee,
,but the bird track cha
racter is much more abundant. A peculiarity
of the feet is a large projecting joint at the big
'toe. There are also the feet Of some animal
not clearly representing those of our day.
Drawings of these stones were made in 185 t)
liy•James W. Ward, then of Cincinnati, but
now Secretary, of the Natural History Society
of New York. These also .require to be photo
graphed to render them complete in all respects.
'Those in Licking county were copied size of
nature by Dr. and Mrs. Salisbury in the form
of a tracing on coarse muslin. There is here
a natural wall of conglomerate rock,' sixty or
eighty feet long and ten .or twelve feet high,
partly protected from the weather. Portions
of it are soft and yield 'bp; the disintegrating
effects of-the seasons, by which a large part of
the inscriptions have been obliterated. The
tracing embraces about thirteen feet by seven.
Near the place is a quarry and the workmen
*amuse themselves by destroying those charae
ters. In a fe*, years they will disappear. The
early inhabitants from half a century since
have also inscribed the initials of their names
among them, and the dates of their visit. But
when Dr. , Salisbury took his copy, in 1860,
there were twenty-three different characters
visible Within the space above given.. The bird
track is most common. There are two human
hands, several spears, crosses and combina
tions of the 'cross, barbs, groups of parallel
lines and other odd characters.
"The famous Turkey Foot. Rock,' at the
foot of the Miami Rapids, near Maumee City,
once had a number of inscriptions, most of
which are now gone. n Among these the bird
track character is most conspicuous. They
were at first regarded as attempts to represent
the foot•of the wild turkey, but they .are not
anatomically correct, and are now regarded as
part of a series of characters or hieroglyphics to
which a meaning was attached by those who
made them. Such inscriptions are known at
other points in the West, but as yet have been
little observed. On a flat lime rock. in St.
Louis the early settlers noticed a pair of human
feet plainly sculptured on the surface. They
are a little larger than the average, being 10,
inches in length, and have the peculiarity in
the toe joint which is conspicuous on the Bel
mont county stones. This slab was preserved
by the late Dr. D. D. Owen in his collection
at New - Harmony, Indiana, and is probably
there now.
What gives greater interest to these Western
inscriptions is the resemblance which Dr.
Salisbury has discovered to the bird track
Cbiriese alphabet bluse many centuries since in
China. There also the serpent was a promi
nent figure in the system of hieroglyphic ex
pression. The ChineSe are, moreover, reported
to have writings which refer to emigration to
the Pacific coast
~of America in very early
times. •
AN AWEIJL DISASTER IN ENGLAND.
The Terrible Panic in a Liverpool
Church.-. Old Men and Women Trod
den to Dealh--•Fearful Scenes.
A larger congregation never assembled
within the walla of St. Joaeph's.- The capacious
building was filled to overflowing. The floor,
the galleries, and even the staircases and
passages, were crowded by worshippers. Many
came al() were unable to obtain admission to
the church; and to provide accommodation
for those who were desirous of attending the
mission service, but who, were unable to find
seats or standing room in the church, a sup
plementary service was held in the school-room
large apartment underneath the chapel.
The entrance to this room'was by a door at
the northern end of the building, and was also
used for entering the chapel. It was
at Ulla point that the catastro
phe mimed, and, therefore, to under
stand the terrible nature of the occurrence, .it
will be necessary to describe somewhat
minutely the-mode of ingress and egress to the
chapel and school-room: The doorway at the
north end of the building, as we have stated,
leads to both the school-room and the chapel,
is about six feet wide, and is raised three or,
four steps from the pavement. On entering the
doorway there is a flight of stone steps lead
ing to the school-room beneath, and another
flight froth the same landing leads to the body
of the chapel. Round the chapel runs a gal
lery, and under the portion of the gallery at
the north end, and close to the doorway de
scribed, was a dense , body of people. The
staircase leading from the doorway under the
gallery, and the steps which led to the school
room beneath, were also crowded with wor
shippers. About 7.45 o'clock, when the Rev.
Father Raphael was delivering his lecture, the
occurrence took place which has beep attended
with such direful consequences.
The majority of the congregation in the
body of the chapel had brought with them wax
candles to be blessed. At the time the cry of
lire was raised these candles were lighted, and
the glare caused by the illumination led to the
belief that the building actually was on fire.
Those who were in the schoolroom attempted
to force their way into the street. The nar
row staircase and doorway soon became
blocked up with a seething multitude, who,
in their alarm, struggled to escape from the
building. The cry of tire had been heard, too,
by the worshippers, who crowded the staircase
leading to the chapel and those under the
northern gallery. They were seized with
panic, and, imagining that the schoolroom was
in flames, nestled wildly down the stairs
to the landing. It was hero that the two
crowds—one coining from the school-roOM and
the other from the chapel above—met. A ter
rible scene followed. The people fought and
struggled to reach the narrow street. The
doorway, however, was soon blocked up and
escape by this means became impossible. Loud
'cries of alarm were raised ; the cry of "tire"
contintted,and the panic increased. Strong men
fought and struggled with each other to reach
the street; the shrieks of the women and'-eldl
drett told of the terrible alarm that had seized
them. Some perSoßs near the spot attempted
to compose the multitude, but still the struggle
continued. Women and children and old men
were knocked down and trodden to death
under fo6t, or suffocated in the terrible crush.
While this fearful scene was going on, the
gr ew, majority of the congregation were un
aware of the , existence of „any cause, of alarm,
but in a few moments intelligence reached the

THE tiaILIILLOTINE.
A London paper sayS: '• • •
"The guillotine of the present day istimaller,
less clumsy, and more 'manageable than its
prototype of old; still it Is the saine instrument,
and the modifications which it has successively
undergone have changed neither. the nature of
its mechanism nor its general form. It con
sists of a square-shaped scaffold, thirteen feet
long by about twelve feet six inches wide, sup
ported on four . posts, six feet in height, and
reached by a flight of ten steps. This scaffold
is railed on all sides with an open balustrade,
and at two-thirds of its length are fixed two
upright parallel posts, surmounted by a cross
beam which goes by the name of the "chapeau."
They are thirteen feet high, and have a space
of about fifteen' inches between them: The
knife, which is attached to the chapeau.,is com
posed of a 'triangular blade of steel, fixed ,by
means of three iron pins into a leaden haft,
called the "mouton,' Which gives it great
weight. This mouton is nearly fourteen inches
broad, and the blade at its greatest width hardly
a foot.
"At rather more than three feet above the
platform are two planks, placed vertically one
over the other, and with a semi-circular portion
cut out of each, so that when they are brought
together the Opening has the appearance of a
full moon. These are known as the 'lunette.'
Tbe lower plank is fastened to the upright
postS, while the upper one, sliding in lateral
grooves, can be raised or lowered at' will., Be
tween the posts and the staircase is the bas
culei' a narrow piece of board, which when at
rest is vertical, hilt which a mere touch will
bring into aliorizontal position: In falling it
comes on to 'a solidly supported table, longer
than itself, and extending right up to the
lunette. The' bascule, furnished with castors,
rolls along this table, and, by a rapid action,
brings the ne*.of the-crimintd,whp is fag43ned
to it, on to the lower half circle, so as to secure
it there.
" To the right of the bascule, and attached to.
it by hinges, is an inclined plane, placed so as
to rest against the side of an enormous wicker
basket, lined with zinc, and filled with saw
dust.' Underneath the bascule and the lunette
is a, trough of oblong shape, and in front of the
uptight posts is‘an apparatus which secures the
head of the criminal and prevents it from roll
ing on the platform should it fall from the
hands of the assistant charged to hold it., The
entire machine, together with its various ac
cessories, is painted a disagreeable deep blood
red color. The bascule is provided with a
double leather strap and buckles, in order to
prevent any resistance on the part of the crim
inal ;, but this is rarely if ever used. The upper
Semi-circle falls rapidly by means of a very
simple piece of mechanism put in action by a
button which it is only necessary to press.
"The knife is attached to the chapeau by a
kind of claw, shaped like the figure 8, the lower
part of which opens when tne sipper closes.
A cord hanging near to the button already
noticed acts upon a lever, which, bringing the
upper portions of the claw ' together, compels
the loWer to separate and set the knife free.
This latter, sliding through the open space, is,
accelerated. in its- descent by the mass of lead
that surmounts it, and falls with di'eadful
rapidity, which is, moreover, increased by the
action of polished steel rollers running_ in
dopper grooves fixed inside the upright posts.
In its fall it just shaves the surface of the
lunette, and is finally stopped by two springs
covered with discs of india-rubber, which
deaden the shock and prevent noise.
" The reader will now comprehend with
what simplicity and security the guillotine ac
complishes its terrible work. The criminal,
having mounted . ..the scaffold, finds himself in
front of the vertical bascule, which
,extends
from just above his ankles to the middle of his
breast, and facing him also is the lunette with
its movable portion raised. The executioner
pushes the bascule ; which falls into the hori
zontal position, and then pushes 'it along the
table; the. bead of the victim seems, as it
were, to throw itself into the. semicircular
np - entog Of - the lunette; itifid ati assistant
diately seizes hold of the hair. Two things
now , remain to be done ; one is to press the
button which acts upon the mechanism of the
upper portion of the lunette, causing it to fall
and secure the bead of the criminal; the other
is, to set loose the knife which is to 'cut the
head off. On decapitation taking place,
the head is thrown into the basket, while the
executioner, by a single motion, slides the body
down the inclined plane. The rapidity of the
action is alnaoSt inconceivable, and death is as a
Matter of course, instaneous. The oblique blade,
made enormously heavy by, its leaden haft,
acts simultaneously by its shape, its weight,
and its cutting power. The fall, mathemati
cally calculated, occupies three-quarters of a
second.
'‘The respective parts played by the execu
tioner's assistants are settled in advance. One
Of them seizes bold of the head, the other
raises the. bascule from the bottom and weighs
down the legs of the criminal, while the exe
cutioner hastens on the denouement. These
combined movements, all differing one from
the other, are accomplished by three individ
uals with a precision and a simultaneousness
that prevents the smallest bitch froth occur
ring."

The following concerning a new method of

way be worthy of notice from those taking an
interest in photo-lithography. The invention,
Made by Mr. R. H. Courtenay, of Clapham
Junction England, consists in preparing collo-
Ilion or Other suitable . solutions with a silex
which has been precipitated and removed from.
liquor of 'Rota or water-glasS. The inventor
covers a plate of 'glass with this inixtnre, and
takes a positive picture upon it by the ordinary
method of photographic copying.' The posi
tive is printed on to the surface of a substance
composed preferably of parchment, size, sugar

The Ituloret excellencies; ; , of • - many - great
English writers were attributed to the degree
iu which they.*ere imbued With the spirit of
the ancients; and because Addison and Fields

Voris of well-born English boys were merely
learning, like Dr. IllituberS young gentlemen,
to regard the ancient Romans as their implaca
ble enemies, while . the middle classes, pursuing
their sttidi.4 (lady in the ;ditection of:com
pound interest and tare and tret, knew no
more of Homer than they knew of steam or
electricity or .the.old red-sandstone—
Time' has changed' all This. Every year
education is sulking out new paths, and there
are,scores of good writers, and thousands of
clever, even distinguished men, who make no
pretence to what was formerly exclusively
meant by - the term scholarship. Nevertheless,
while-the ancients are being gradually edged
into a more restricted domain of the region of
culture where they once reigned paramount,
they are more justly and ; widely appreciated
than ever. Those who lament *the • slipshod
grammar, the bad taste, the tinsel eloquence,
the false logic, that, are so general in our
popular.literature as to threaten to debase the
language, feel more than ever the value of the
ancient authors who, thinking and writing iu
tongues, the structure and inflexions of which
imply the nicest accuracy and the finest sense
of metrical music in the peoples using them,
have been the means of nfusing into English
literature so much. of vigor sad*
rs heauty.:
.
Schola, therefore, would gladly see the spirit
of the classics rendered more obvious and easy
of appreciation, while those who are not and do
not pretend to be scholars are often so fully alive
to the grace, invention and sublimity displayed
by ancient poets and historians whose 'works
they know of only by glimpses, allusions and
'fragmentary passages, conveyed in our own
tontine, that they want nothing but opportii
nitY to render their kpo%ledge more complete.
So conimoo indeed is classical illustration and
allusion that not only is itfrequent in works of
real - merit;bid the iiiinsieSt, seaside novel - as

I had one just flogging. When I was about
thirteen, I went to a shoemaker,and begged
him to take me as his apprentice. lre being au
honest man, immediately took me to Bowyer
(the master of. Christ Hospital), who got into
ft. great rage,
knocked me • down, and even
rudely pushed Crispin out of the room; BoWyer
asked roe why I • had made myself such• a fool,
to which .I answered that I had a great desire
to be a shoernaker,and that I hated the thought
of being a clergyman: - "iv* so?" said he.
" Because to tell'you the truth, sir," said I, " I
