Mitchell, superintendent of schools in Middle Ten nessee and North Alabama, under the Pennsylvania Freedmen's Relief Association, to the corresponding, secretary of that hotly. It cannot fall to be read with interest: TV,suvit.rx, 7 1170., 20th, You may recollect that when Miss Bendel° and Mrs. Kilgore passed through this city, en route for Stevenson, Alabama, whore they were to take Charge of the ' , Keystone School," I gave them to understand that I would follow them and assist in the bettor organization of the school, In a lei , ' days. The distressing illness of our teachers, in Nashville, prevented the accomplisthient of this purpose until within a week. In the meantime the two ladies pro ceeded to open the school, and organize it on the plan best utlapted to the condition of the children. The average attendance was HO. At the end of a month Mrs. Kilgore left the post iii with whooping cough. Silos Randal° was thou let alone. About the same time Captain Kilgore, the quartermaster, in whose charge Miss Randall) was more directly, wad ordered to Dalton, so that this lady was loft alone. There was no otherlady in the camp; the school had its strong enemies on the very spot, while three miles distant, just over the Tennessee, lurked the guerilla waiting the opportunity to raid upon the station. For a time her life was one of great trial. We could get no assistance to her from Nash vide, all transportation of teachers to points below being cut off, and the task of teaching atone 160 children was, to say the least, laborious. The change of commanders and, troops frequently brought reckless men about the school, who would annoy and frighten the children, and stand about the school-house, and indulge in coarse, vulgar talk, and rude jesting. • It was _ - not an uncommon thing for her to find dtunkon soldiers in the school-room when she arrived, and in wet weather tho door of the house was overflowed by the water from the mountain behind it. Ber own quarters were also much ex posed. Alarms were of frequent occurrence. One of these took place on the night of my arrival. The commander of the post at Bridgeton telegraphed that "Stevenson Was to be attacked that night by a large force of cavalry, which had crossed the Ten nessee 'that aftertioon. l ! Every preparation was made for resistance, and I heard the colonel detail his plan for a line of battle in case the attack should be made before morning. The rebels did not come, however, but this was the fourth alarm of this character since thislady's residence here. Such was her situation—one of constant exposure; but, nothing daunted, she had been carried through it all. Ac the time had come for giving a vacation, and it was also desirable to make some improve ment in the, log school-house, an examination of the school was held on the 16th. There were no in"- dtvidual instances of remarkable progress, but in ten weeks one hundred children had learned to read. "A degree of emulation among our teachers is highly desirable," was a remark, I think, of your own; we, therefore, Invite the teachers of Port Royal, Washington, or any other of the stations of the Pennsylvania Preedinen , s Relief Association, to show better results, considlring alt the circumstances. On the morning of the 17th we held a Sabbath school in an orchard near the camp oiongineers and mechanics. About 121 children were present. They were grouped under the trees, and listened with profound attention to the'addresses,' which occupied over an hour. In the afternoon we held a meeting for the older people, and It proved a very interesting opportu-, nity. And the very circumstances should have made it so. It was held within pistol shot of the Alabama House, where, but two years-since, Jeff Davis prophesied that it grass would grow in the, streets of the great Northern cities." Now, an unarmed man, from one of the principal of these marts of commerce, was speaking boldly and freely to a free people of their rights and obligations. The scene was very impressive. The day was beau tiful; the wide-spreading trees gave amplo shade for those who listened. In font, up the hill side, were a hundred soldiers, while, immediately before and behind the speakers the freedmen and freed women stpod or sat listening with an eagerness that could be felt. I shall endeavor, when I see you persentilly, to show you how the address of the sli parigkendent was arranged, so as to " ring Jro2 soldiers present, and be strong counsel for the freed people. An excellent address upon the subject of equality Was Made by. Capt. D t .G. , Kilgore,- formerly super intendent of schools, Ydridisonf Wisconsin. • - At the close Of the Meeting,-the leading colored. men assured me that the school-house should be pitt in order for winter, those wko could not asslst per sonally promising to contribute money for , that pur pose, One colored family prepared us a, dinner, and . another a supper, and on both occasions proved the' correctness of Mrs. IStowe's remark, " The colored people are born cooks." It is the intention to open this school early in Sep• tember. In the meantiroe, the commander of the post has secured to the'colored people full possession of the:building as a place of worship. In all probability the freedmen will not remain at this point more than one year longer, but in that - period how much may be done to educate and train them for a life of freedom! As it has been impossi. ble to get teachers to them, so it has been difficult to send supplies of clothing, and many of the children are very destitute. Permission has just been ob tained to transmit a few boxes of goods to them, and we know, from personal observation, that they will be well bestowed. , AS,II of the progress which hasheen made in Ten nessee and Alabama has been through conflict. Most of the teachers came out too late In the sea son, and the sudden stoppage of transportation obliged them to stop in Nashville, where, in crowded quarters, they suffered in health. The whole field has at times swarmed with guerillas, and the mili tary authorities, with the machines of war constantly In their hands, had no time-for the affairs of freed men. Yet, mach bas been'accomplished, and the plan of the association for the coming season em braces aline of schools from a point one hundred miles from the mouth of the Tennessee to Chatta,- nooga and beyond: The Tribune on the Peace Conference. The N. Y. Tribune OW not believe the recent ;peace negotiations> l at Niagara are'to be regarded us altogether fruitless. It says : But, even though the results rictually, attained fall deplorably short of what might have been, we hold that a great step has been gained toward peace by eliciting the, President's -manifesto. Lot us re- consider It' . • ' • ExsourrvE DlANsiox, WASIIINGTON, JulylB, 1884 TO WHOM IT MAT CONCERN. Any proposition which embraces the restoration of peace, the integrity of the whole Union, and the abandonment of slavery, and which comes by and with an authority that can control the armies now at war against the United States, will be received and considered by the Executive Government of the United States, and will be mot by liberal terms on other substantial and collateral paints, and the bearer or bearers of It shall have safe conduct both ways. ABRAHAM. LINCOLN. Here the President Insists upon but two cardinal points, intimating that on all others he is ready and willing to treat on " liberal terms." This overture of the President will, of course, be disseminated at the South, and will go far to disabuse the rebel sol diers of the delusion, which has been sedulously in culcated by their °Mere, that no terms can be made with the Government—that they have no choice but that between persistent lighting and unconditional surrender. • Not one-tenth of those soldiers has any interest In slavery, save to get rid of it ; while tons Of thousands of them regard the rebellion as inex cusable, and know that Its authors richly deserve hanging. "But," they say, "we are standing be tween our homes and devastation; between a ruthless, hostile soldiery, and our wives and children ; and • hero we must stand till wo the South really know the actual state of feeling at tho North, the rebellion would not stand another month. The zanies in the loyal States who talk as though a broad em pire could be euloected to military execution sup ply the venomous, desperate traitors in Dixie with the very aliment they need, itnd ye L , l7/....ret • that_one of_ the me sate isaltunore l i on- venuon seems calculated to give them a lift. Gen. Fremont did a wise, generous, manly act, in stamp ing instead of standing on the wholesale confisca tion plank of the Cleveland platform, thereby aid ing toSmooth the path to peace. Mr. Lincoln, in the paper above given, has gone much further on the same way, taking ground radically different from that of unconditional submission: His Indis pensable bases ofpeace aro just right—are those on which it becomes him to insist ; though it (loos not Miele that the rebels should be precluded from pro:. posing any other, nor that all negotiation should be barred until they shall bo prepared to concede, as a preliminary, all that is essentially in dispute. 'Wesley, reproved by one of his brethren for the light, lively character of some of the tunes to which he Eat his hymns, wisely responded that he disputed the right of the devil to a, monopoly of all the best music. We feel very much like this when we hoar the most vociferous champions of the sneaking theft of Texas from Mexico, the bolder robbery of New Mexico and California, the delendeni of. the Ostend Manifesto, and of every atrecious, .blotaly-inhadod aggresslon which has disgraced our. country's history,. now groaning , over the horrors of war and, descanting on the Christian blessedness of peace I What they really seek Is a rehabilita tion of the slave power; if this war were only making slaves Instead or emancipating them—or if It were adding a new empire like Texas to the do main of the elavoliolders—they would observe with complacency its prosecution throughout the next ten years. It is not war that they hate, but a war wherein slavery Is getting worsted. But the hatred they affect, we feel; and wo would have the people freshly assured that we aro struggling for national existence against the most wicked and wanton re bellion that the world ever saw—that, if we con tinue at war, It is only because a few months more of wholesale agonies and devastations are the ne cessary prelude to a century of true, beneficent peace. It seems to us that the time, if It has not already come, must be near at hand, wherein the ?forth and the South will be ready to exchange glances other wise than over the crests of their rival entrench ments along the sights of their respective muske ts— a mode of regard not conducive to geniality of tem per, graciousness of manner or comelineesof visage. In that day the South will be made to compre hend that the North requires the extinction of slavery in no envious, inimical spirit; requires it because Its continued existence involves the cherish ing of Inbred though smothered jealousies, antago nisms, antipathies; bocauee cordial Union, lasting peace, are attainable only through homogeneous Institutions, based on liberty for all. And, if the superficially abortive e ff ort at Niagara shall have served-to hasten•by•but a week this moat desired consummation, it will by no moans hays been made in min. PHILADELPHII, TU SCIENCE AND ART. • Photographers aro acquainted with three or four different ways in which secondary images may appear in photographs. In the first place, when . sensitive glass plate has served its turn as a nega tive—as many paper positives as may bo needed having been taken from it—the film of collodion or other prepared surface is removed from it, and it may then he usad for a wholly now photograph. But it Is found that, unless groat care be used, some faint tram of the former picture still remain, and these may appear as a sort of ghostly attendant upon the figure forming the second picture. One photographer, in endeavoring to utilize an old plate which bad fulfilled Its duty as a negative of the into prince consort, could not wholly • erase the imago, wash or rub as he might; there was al ways a faint ghost of the prince accompanying any subsequent photograph taken on the same plate. Dr. Phipson relates that a friend of his received at Brussels a box of glass plates, quite new and highly polished, each wrapped in a piece of the lade prndancc Itelge newspaper; a lady sat for her pho tograph, taken on one of those plates, and both the photographers and the lady wore astonished to sco that her likeness was covered with printed charac ters, easily to be read—the ghost of a political article, in fact. In this case, actinic rays, as they aro now called, had done their work before the glass was exposed to the camera. By another mode of manipulation, a photographer may produce a ghost like effect at pleasure : a sitter is allowed to remain in the focus of the camera only half the time neces. nary to produce a complete photograph; ho slips quickly aside, and the furniture immediately be hind him is .then exposed to the action of the light; se a consequence, a faint or imperfectly developed photograph of the man appears, trans. parent or translucent, for the furniture is visible apparently through his body or head. With a little tact, a really surprising effect may bo pro duced in this way. As a third - variety, one nega tive may be placed in contact with another, and a particular kind of light allowed to pass through it for a time ; there results a double picture on the lower negative, one fainter than the other. It is known, moreover, to the more scientific class of photographers, that *the lens in the camera is lm-• perfectly curved at the surfaces, spots of cloudy light may appear in the photograph, having a sernizhctly sort of effect: Leutzo has nearly finished a picture represent ing a richly 7 apparelled cavalier abjuring "for faith's sake" the religion of his fathers. Bearing under his arm the Mita Sacra, and in his hand a sword, through the use of which, if necessary, to prove his faith, he is turning from tho argu ing priest, who sits, surrounded by heavy tomes, before a table; from the aged "mother in the church," who, with head bowed upon her hands, is weeping, and oven from the pleadings of the young girl who hangs upon his arm, and with pale countenance and tearful eyes gazes into his face, prepared to go forth, a Pro testant absolved from all allegiance to the Catholic Church. This picture, to - ono standing before it, requires no explanation; It tells Its own story in a clear and unmistakable manner. The stern, Unrelenting countenance of the priest, as ho promulgates the punishment which will follow, both here and hereafter, this act of apostacy ; the deep abandonment to sorrow of the woman, shown more in her prostrate form than in her face, which is partly hidden from view; the frightened and supplicating looks of the young girl, and the decided but troubled expression, not unmingled with hope and triumph, in the countenance of the young man himself, ate forcibly portrayed. The accessories of the picture, the great fireplace with Its carved wood-work and the fire blaring in its recess, the silver salvors and tankards on the beaufet, tho dress of the young girl, and the cloth spread over the table, aro carefully rendered. In the composition of the work, and the pOse and management of the figures, Leutze has rarely been more successful.—New York EL:ening Post. The lectures of M. Joly, on spontaneous :gene. ration,lat the Ecole . do Medicine, attract as many hearers as did those of Ronan, Minot, or Michelet, at the College of France. The problem which he tries to solve has been debated in all ages. It has a place in Aristotle's works. The Fathers speak of it, and it was the subject of hot and absurdly subtle • disputes in the middle ages, when most literal sense was attached to the Biosaic account of the Creation. The theory of Spontaneous generation for five years past brie been hotly attacked by some, and as ar dently defendeff;lby other French ,scant. Its chief. defenders Dave been M. Pouchet, of Rouen 01. Joly, of Toulouse, and his pupil, M. do Dlusset: All three have brought forward most ingenious argu . ments in its support, and they firmly believe to this theory. M. Pasteur, who belongs to the Baconian school; has tnado,innumerable experiments. which have led him to believe that. there Is no such thing as spontaneous generation, and that the birth of animalcule), adduced by Joly,ls. duo to innunierablek germs . which float, in the atmosphere. The oppo. nents of M. Pasteur have, they in turn allege, proved the contrary by means of experiments. The value of soap -suds as a stimulant of vege table life cannot be too highly appreciated. It con tains the aliment of plants in a state of ready solo-. tion, and when applied, acts not only with Immo dints and obvious offset, but-with-a eustained energy. which pertains to few even of the most concentrated measures. When it is nut convenient to apply it in irrigation—the most economical method, perhaps, -of using it—it should be absorbed by some material which may be used as an Ingredient in the compost heap. Sods, muck, and other similar articles, Should be deposited where the suds from the sink and laundry May find its way to them, and be ab sorbed, for the benefit of crops. In this way several loads of manure, suitable for the support and suste.. nance of any crop, may be made at comparatively small expense. Tho highly putrescent character of this fermentable liquid qualifies it admirahly for the irrigation or compost heaps of whatever ' - material - composed. Being a potent fertilizer, it must of mg:: cessity impart additional richness to almost any material to which it may be added. In France, tho waste steam from the engine, instead of being allowed to escape into the air, is conducted from the escape pipe by means of a vul canized India rubber tube, to copper pipes, through which it circulates under the seats and 'flooring of the cais. .As soon as the train is sot In Motion the steam begins to .circulate through the pipes, and warms the cars, first, second, and third-class equally ; and being connected with each other by India rub ber tubing, they can be immediately detached or re united at pleasure. In a trial of this plan on the Lyons line, two thermometers placed in first-class cars marked sixty degrees Fahrenheit during the whole journey; and in the second and third-class cars, also, the temperature was found to bo suffi ciently elevated to allow of the longest winter's journey being accomplished without discomfort to the travellers. —A new method for restoring pictures, which was lately invented by Professor Pettenkofor, has, we' learn, been patented in England. Having examined several paintings of great age, Professor Petten kofer found that the indistinct appearance was due to a want of cohesion on the part of the molecules of the paint, by reason'of which they separated from each other and produced 'small fissures, thus de stroylng the power of 'reflecting lighb.. l :. His remedy • is, therefore, a meet:alike' ratherdhan a physical one;aud. consists In exposing the picture, which is previously laid out upon a flat metallic surface, to a mixture of atmospheric air and alcohol vapor. The latter penetrates the old paint, softens its molecules, and thus allowing them to cohere, once more enables the surface to reflect light asst did at first, and it:Stores It to its primitive condition. —We notice that Jam Ward, once a celebrated member of the prize ring, takes a benefit at the Roy- al Amphitheatre this evening.

The following Interesting letter from Mr. Donald Me,Hay, the well-known shipbuilder, appears in the Boston <laverltser : "To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser: • "Gn2laszirEzr: Raving seen an article copied into some of our Boston papers from a New York jour nal, to the effect that there had been some dim - res. meat 'between the contractors of tho new light draught monitorsand the Navy Department, I deem It a duty to all concerned to !date the facts for the information of the public. . 1, 1 attended all-the -meetinga, of the .contractors recently held-in Now York,.and can say that the ut; most harmony- prey:tiled, ,re , were fairly met by the officers appointed by the Government on all questions. In-relation to the payments for back work and future improvements there was no dispo sition manifested to deprive us of a single dollar ; en the contrary, we have reason to believe that all our payments will be promptly approved, as those already earned according to the terms of the con tract have been. 1 ." In relation to the monitors, the Department has delegatedijaptaln Ericsson to make such lin provement in them as will render them available for coast and harbor defence, and when wo con elder their :light draft for those purposes, they Milibe - vetyleinclent against any foreign force. .It is Well known that all the foreign , iron-clads are ' 'eery deep, and would - not therefore approach oar aspnitors, which could be moored In shallow water, or ,kopt, under steam, as circumstances might, require. The superiority of their artillery has been tested in the contest between the Rear serge and tEe Alabama. As they are in various stages of advancement, Some of them not nearly completed, the expense of .the contemplated im 'provements will not be so great as tho public has been led to Suppose. Captain Ericsson, who, with others, has the matter in charge, is well known to the selentitio"world, and does noktherefore, require .my:..mtlorsonient; but this much I may say, that hts "conMuction of the first monitor saved the nation from a great.diumfitation. I have examined the -Dictator amiTuritan, which ho has designed and Superintended; and consider that in material, work xpanship, anChsvulnerability they excel anything w , hich 1 have seemJr& England or 1• rance. t(1,„ am well aware tliarche pubiterhas basen - qulto • resilient in relatbm to the movements of the Navy Department on account of the depredations of the Alabama, Florida,• and Georgia; but if the facts were generally known they would show that the power of these vessels has been greatly exag gerated. In a letter to Senator Grimes, which you published, a short time since, I boldly asserted that' the Alabama was inferior in speed and fight ing qualities to our sloops of war—the truth of which was 'olearly demonstrated in the re cent' glorious naval combat. The difficulty ..has not been a want of vessels of the right class to destroy these British rovers, but to obtain sight of them. It is my deliberate opinion that almost any of our sloops could easily overhaul the Florida in a -twelve hours'.run, and bring her to action. The 'accounts of her great speed, from the size of the se yes- l And. her well-known motive power, aro entirely .hacerrect. Ido not believe she can be driven more 'Allan twelve knots an hour under steam alone for _more than two or three hours at a time. If the pub lic will only exercise a little patience. they will find that the Navy Department has not neglected its- duty in this hour of. our na tional struggle, and that in the designs of even the lightdraft monitors it has acted with more skill than many have believed. These vessels were a bold experiment—an innovation' upon all previous notions of iron -clads, and could not be expected to be wholly perfect at first, but I am confident that without change from the first design they would be most valuable for home defence. To make them available for action in Southern waters, In all wea ther, the proposed improvement is necessary. "In addition I would earnestly recommend the con struction of a number of sea-going wooden ships, hea vily iron -clad, with high opted, from twenty-four to thirty-sir guns—and thus secure the respect of all the other nations of the world,and the best guarantee Of impartial neutrality. Virginia ac Blue Laws, ,, 1663. The Roston Transcript of Friday contains the fol lowing communication : Wo have all beard more or less of the "Blue Laws" of' Connecticut and of the "Black Code" of the Senth. Bat I did not know till since the pre sent war commenced that any such religio-legal . enactments had over been made by the Southern chivalry of the Ditch-land, as we have 'understood by this term of "Blue Laws:" Some two years since, a soldier of the Potomac army, on entering the court house In Warrick county, Va., found the old records of the court, which be forthwith confis cated and sent to me • two pages, from which the following itenis are copied. The paper is quite thick, and measures 16 by 10 inches. The chirography Is peculiar, and there aro twenty-six entries of.decislons mado by that court, under the date of October 21, 1653. This MS. is in teresting, not only from its remote antiquity, but .also on account of the Information which It gives us as to the religious and legal manners of our South ern neighbors two hundred years ago. Witness the following : "Mr. John Harlow, and Alice, his wife being by the grand inquest presented for absenting them selivsis from church, aro, according to the act, fined each of them fifty pounds of tobacco, and the said ldr.. John Harlow ordeeed forthwith to pay one hun dred wends ortobtteco to the sheriff, otherwise the said sheriff to levy.by way of distress." ' "Jane Harde, the• wife of Henry Harde, being presented.for not 'tending church, is according to actdined Dfty pounds of tobacco, and the sheriff is ortleredle Collect the same from her, and in case of non-payment to distress." "Jihn Lewis, his wife this day refusing to take 'the oath L ot allegiance, being ordered her, Is cora -.TOMO Inttithe sheriff's custody, to remain until she take the said oath, or, until further ordered to the contrarY.".s. - , I , Jobn.Lewis, his Wife, for absenting herself from •church, is-fined fifty pounds of tobacco, to be col ;looted hy the,sherlif from her husband, and upon , non-p4ment, the said sheriff to distress." "R . !abort Reynolds, being prosecuted for absentia :hireself from church, and summoned by the shot 'this court trrinake his appearance, and not, iSfined for both offences one litu,-1.0" and fifty pounds of tobacco, to be leirs,o-es - tue sheriff byway of distress, upon his non-payment thereof." - " George . .liarWoodreelog prosecuted for his ab senting birogelf from church, is fined fifty poundsof tobacco, -to be levied by way of distress by the sheriff upon his nonqoayment thereof." "Peter White and lilLwife being presented for common swearing, are tided fifty pounds of tobacco, both of them, to be collected by the sheriff from the said White, and upondds non-payment of the same to distress." - " Richard Ring, being. presented as a common swearer, Is fined fifty pounds of tobacoo, VS be levied by the sheriff; by way of distress, upon his non payment." From all I can learn there was.but one "church" in Virginia in 1663, and that was the English; or what is now the Protestant Episcopal, Church,. and'it was for non-attendance on this church Bog, the 'fine of fifty, pounds of tobacco was inilloted.bp7 the Old Dominion two hundred years ago ; and the chivalrous.ilesccndants of the race that passed those laws in Virginia. have been the mon, in later times, to taunt vs-with tho memory of "blue laws," as if none .such had ever been enacted except by the Yenheca. • This record Speaks of no fine imposed by the Vir ginia Court except on " tobacco,' and from which we learn that this weed was not only a staple com modity nt that early period of our country, but it .was so much sO that it became a substitute for our may. . • This ancient record, thus brought to light by the fortunes of mil*, seems to mo of some histories! va lue,,and accordingly I have deposited it for safe keeping In the/archives of the New England Histo-' lieut. and Genealogical Society, 13 Bromfield street, 1 Boston.

THE TWEETT-itten GUN.—The groat twenty- Inch army gun recently finished at the Fort Pitt Works has been placed upon the trucks which were built expressly by the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, at their shops in Altoona, to convey it to Its destination. W 0 have already described these trucks, which are conatructed In the ordinary manner, with the exception that everything about them is of the most substantial material, and a bridge extends over both trucks, the ends resting upon heavy beams across the centre of each truck. Before the immense mass of metal was Buttered to rest upon the bridge, strong props were placed under the beams, as a precautionary measure, and so severely are these props taxed that it is now un certain whether they can be removed at all. It, is feared that if they are knocked from under the beams the trucks will break down or become so strained as to render them unsafe. The gun has re mained in this awkward position, in front of the works, for twenty-four hours past, and we are not advised as to what course will be pursued. The general Impression is that the trucks have proved n failure. One of the reasons alleged is, that they have not been properly hoesohained ; but the skilled workmen who designed them wilt hardly concede this point, eaten upon the most satis factory evidence. In the meantime, the "big gun" Is visited by hundreds, who can got a full and satisfactory view of it gratis. It was weighed on the new mammoth scales erected at the works for that purpera, and was found to contain 116,497 Pounds, or a fraction over.filty.eieht tons. Juveniles, need from ten to fifteen years, were amusing them selves, to-day, in crawling into the bore on their hands and knees.. A good-sized family, including pa and ma; could find shelter in the gun—and it would be a capital place to hide in case of a bom bardment. Those of our citizens who have not yet seen the biggest of the big guns, can now have a favorable opportunity, as, from present appearances, it will be some time before It "goes oft.' The twenty-inch navy gun, recently east at the Fort Pitt Works, is now in the turning lathe, and is slowly but surely coming into shape.—Pifisburg Ga zette, 23d. BIECHANIcAL TASTES There are boys to whom the . blacksmith's forge and the machine-shop are irresistible attractions. . Often such tastes are sti fled at once by ambitious parents, and the result is that nonentity "a clerk"—st young man who, with out special commercial instincts, is grafted in the tree of commerce, never takes to It kindly, and is ever after a sapless sort of twig. Sometimes the would-be mechanic is put "in a law office," and once In while is sent to "study for the church." The result is at the best deporabie mediocrity. Henry alaudsley one of the most eminent of English mechanics, (whose death was recently reported,) had this mechanical instinct strik ingly developed. His father was a Carpen ter, but young Maudsley himself was much fonder of working In iran, and would often excite the anger of the foreman by stealing off to an ad joining smithy. He urged so hard for the change that when fifteen years old he was transferred from the carpenter's to the blacksmith's shop. Here he became an expert worker In metal, and was soon quite noted for forging "trivets" with great speed and skill, the old experienced hands gathering round to admire him when at this work. They had In this shop—which belonged to the naval works of Woolwich—a very accommodating superintending officer, who would blow his nose in a peculiar man ner when approaching, so that all forbidden jobs— and catkin " trivets" was one of them—might be put out of the way by the time he entered the shop. When a boy has the innate love for his trade that alaudsley had—and thousands of American youths all over the country have today—ho does not re main at the foot of the ladder. THE REBEL RAID urow THE CALAIS BANK.— We are indebted to a gentleman of this city for the following extract from a private letter, dated Calais, Me., July 18: " We had quite an exciting time hero to-day. Lest 'week notice wits sent here that, a party of rebels had left St. John, for Calais, for the purpose of reobing the bank. They arrived at St. Stephen on Thursday, the 14th. One of them made -him self known to our city marshal as a detective, em ployed by our consul at St. John, to watch such fellows, and he has kept, us postedfas to the move ments of the party, so that we have been prepared to give them a warm reception. A store nearly opposite the bank is used as arendezvous for soldiers. Last Saturday we were informed by the detective that the party (four in number) were to rob the bank • to-day. Their plan was to go into the bank in busi ness hours, stab the cashier, secure the money, and then flee to the other side of the ricer, to Queen Vie's dominions. The preparationsimade for • them were ample. A guard of twenty-five men, armed with guns end revolvers, were stationed In the Store opposite the bank, another in the rear of the bank, and a third at another point, while a party of four were in the bank. At a quarter past twelve o'clock the rebels entered the bank and wanted to exchange gold for greenbacks.. At that moment our force re vealed themselves with pistols in hand, and at tho same moment the outehle force rushed in. The robbers saw that they were taken, and offehil nO resistance. They were examined before our Police Court this afternoon and held to bail in the sum of $40,000 to ap pear at the October term of the court in Machias ; failing to find ball, they have been sent to Machias for safe keeping. They confessed that they were to rob the bank and afterwards burn the city, and that there are thirty more of them not. far off. We have a strong guard of 180 rifles, and 2 six-pounders, and we think we can manage them. Thus has happily ended the first act of what might have been very sad in its consegnences.—Providence Journal. Frucrioa - Alavencs.—The manufacture of fric tion matches 'was begun in this country in - 1835. The Germans claim to have discovered the process at about the same time, and ft is probable that, like many other discoveries and inventions, both parties developed the idea simultaneously. One firm In Boston, engaged in this business, consume at their different factories fire thousand cords of wood per annum, mostly sapling pine. They matutfaeture fauvism million Jour hundred and forty thousand matches per day, and under the new law, which re quires a one-cent stamp for each bunch, they will pay a tax of $1,400 per day, or nearly four hundred ' and fifty thousand dollars per annum.

Ogsfensburg, N. Y., was filled with ashes, and for some time had the ap pearance of a light snow storm. The wind at tho time was blowing from the northwest, and they must have come from miles away in Canada. About nightfall dense clouds of smoke passed over the town, indicating that heavy fires were raging in the forest on the opposite side of the St. Lawrence. In Wayne and adjoining counties, as far eastward as Rome, there has been within the last few days a great destruction of proporty by fires in the woods. Large quantities of timber; cord-wood, growing crops, and buildings have been destroyed at various points. How these fires originate is not stated. The woods are very dry, and it needs but a lighted match applied to make a great conflagration. A (RESAT ROBBERT.—William W. Lynda, of Vermont, went to. Boston with a pile of money to buy substitutes. He fell into the hands of rogues, two of whom, furnished with drugged liquor, ac companied hint home on the last train up on Tues day evening. While under the influence of the drugged liquor ho was robbed, between Orange and Erving, of ten thousand two hundred dollars. The two rogues accompanying him left' the ears nt Er ving, and went back to Orange where they stopped over night. Lynde discovered ' his loss at Grout's, and wont back to Orange early in the morning. The rogues espied him before he reached the hotel, and jumped out of window. One, Thomas Slur ray, sprained his ankle and could not run, was ar rested, and $5,500 found of the lost 'money. The other rogue escaped with his share of the booty. Murray, in default of $16,000 bail, was sent to jail. . .

A DISCOVERY.—The Malta, Timessays: As some workmen, employed in making a new road to the Cathedral at Rabato, in the Island of Gozo, near Malta, wore digging in the ditch under the western wall of the fort they.came on a line of cellars la the solid rock. Dr. Vassalo and Dr. Adams went to the spot, and found upward of twenty-four circular ca verns. much like grain fosses. They vary in height from five to nine feet, and are about the same in di ameter. Sorne of them were cleaned out, but no relics were found. There is every reason to conclude that they were used merely as temporary hiding-places for tho inhabitants during the fourteenth century, and subsequently, when those islands were subject to the incursions of Algerian pirates and Mo.homo dans.
