packing is placed, and at F, a f piral spring. An opening, fl, Fig. 2, is made in the top of the
team chest in order to allow the nut to travel the full extent of the movement of the valve, and
also to give access to Ihe nut to use a wrench whenever necessary.
The packing is kept in place by lugs, H, depending from the cap. A gum gasket, we are in
formed, placed between the cap and valve, is all that is necessary on machinery where drifting
cannot occur, consequently metallic packing can he dispensed with on steamboats.
The nut. in connection with the spring, regulates the cap, which forms a ground joint in con
nection with the inside surface of the steam chest head, elevating it and depressing it at will.
All tin- upward force falls upon the nut, and not upon the chest head. Between the valve and
the cap exists a space the full square of the valve, in which the packing Is placed, consistinc of
four pieces of brass, babbit or lead, three-sixteenths of an inch in thickness atid one-half inch iu
width, shaped precisely liken carpenter's square. These are laid one on top of the other so as to
brep.k joint, and also so that, if expansion should take place and shove one out of position at the
point of intersection, the other may take its place. Between each layer of metallic packing a
gum gasket is placed. A space of one-eighth of an inch exists between the cap and the upper lay
er of packing. This forms a square of packing around the shoulder of the cap which occupies
the chamber marked F", in Fig. 1. The effect of this is that, when the steam is forced into the
steam chest, the steam enters the vacant space existing between the cap and npper layer of pack
ing, and presses the packing inward and downward, inward against the shoulder and downward
against the top of the valve, thus securing a perfect joint by pressure, and preventing the steam
from re-ting upon the valve. The packing is subject simply to pressure ; there is no movement
whjlevercounectedwilh.it.. When the steam is off. and the engine is in motion, the cap sinks
and rises according to Hie motion of the piston head and the operation of the spring, the shoul
der sinking within the square of packing into the chamber. An there is one-sixtecnlli of an iuth
room existing between the lugs and the packing, when the steam is otr the joint between the
l.neliler and ihe packing is not tight, and there is 110 injurious abrasion whatever when the. shoul
der 'inks and rises, therefore this delicate part is in. estr;i table ; nor ran any acidous matter con
tained by the oil affect this point. a it cannot be forced iu'o a joint so complete us tliat which the
pre-sure creates.
1 lie pupeiinrity of this improvement when compared with that operating upon the ocean ftea
; 1 T t.ieat Eastern, must b-.- admitted by all pr.ict'cal m-n. This arrangement, as mentioned in
an English work pnnlish.-.l by Mr. John Houmic of London, i-onsistsof two rings embedded in the
eh.-s-t lew!, I i'p-ii'n which i-s a gum ga-k--:. Th..- rings arc pre -cl c'o-ely upon the top of the
valve 1 y a number of set screws pas-dug through the chest h-ad fiom the outside. With this ar
1 ing--it-iit a p'K't'on of the valve is always uud-T -r.-?-u:-. a- the ring cannot cover the square
of the valve i: :! s travel to an I fro. There Is tnm-h frc-tioii between both surfaces It this case,
and the rings require screwing down very frequently in conscqu-u'-e. Although designed for the
same purpo-e tkere is no similarity in il s mechanic 1! construction, and "an only be used on steam

these c-sentials are produced : the mil. which governs the cap receives all the upward pressure,

produce an effective joint as experiment has fully proven ; th-: wholj bound together with bolt
and nut, forming an cla-tie and indestructible valve. To suit any inequality of the chest head,
w hi' h may occur in drawing it down, the nut governing the cap is curvilinear in shape ; t his, in

A. I'arnsworlh, attached to the American
mission :iC';vsare:t. I fe takes a very gloo
my view of the future. I make s-veral ex
tracts :
Them is really a ;gieat ileal of sullering
from the lack of necessary food in O.esnrea
an. I the large towns near lhat city. Tint
name is true of Kverek of Xi.lgo, but when
we compare these places with the other re
gions above named we feel tliat, as yet,
they have hardly been touched by the fa
mine. In all the villages very many, pro
bably much more than one-half the popu
lation, are destitute of bread, and fur many
weeks have lived almost entirely on .such
wild herbs as they could gather in the fields
and alono n1(! r0ad .-ides. From the Ak
Iagh and the Hao il; regions very many
have ll d to sivas and regions to the Fast
and ih. if beg their niiseiabli: living from
door lo door, while large numbers from
tin' Kt.-.-:ii ami the Kir Mii bir regions have
in the same way thrown thenim-lvcs upon
('a'san-a and the surrounding towns and
the peoj lc fioi.i tin: vicinity of Xidge have
gone in crowds, to the regions of Tarsus
and Arduna to secure a more, honorable
living by gleaning in the wry rich grain
fields of ('ilieia. Thus this whole dis
trict is in a great measure depopulated.
While thi-M- people thus liccoine a great
burden in the regions to which they have
Sled their own houses and vineyards and
lields to go to rti'.n. Sad indeed is the de
struction of houses. Huilt of mud, with
earth roofs they have a little timber lhat
may be used for fuel. In many cases Ihe
owners, driven to the las! extremity, lore
down their houses before leaving them, and
used the timbers for fuel or sold them to
procure bread. -Many Others left their
homes uninjured ; but no sooner is a house
deserted I ban the neighbors dig into the
roofs for the timber. Multitudes ol these
people, were they now to return to their
villages, would find their houses uninhab
itable. A TERRIBLE ST A TE Ot TIMNtis.
Soongoorloo is a town of about 1,0HI
houses, and the resilience of a inlmoram.
The scenes here the past winter have al
n.ost, if not altogether, equalled the worst
of the Persian famine. The Coventor told
mc that the statistics which they had
gathered, showed some .r,fMK) deaths from
starvation in that kaza. Were those in
cluded who have come iu from other dis
tricts, Salman, Keskitt, &c., and have died
there, it would greatly swell, perhaps

Till! Invention lir-rewit.Ii illus
trated is an improvement on the
ordinary D valve, which is de
si:oi".l to avoid trte pres.-tire exist-i-:r
upon it. and to ova icoine the
difficulties arising from th- ex
1 an-ion of the mi !al when heated
by steam if the whole of the
steam e!n-t b- oi-eiipied. The
iinpr'tvement wh-ai applied 'olhe
ordinary valve, tills up the whole
ot'the st'-ain chest vertically, and.
while highly elastic, is claimed
to be as indestruetable as the D
valve under any speed or pressure.
When the steam i3 shut o!T, the
valve cannot cock in the yoke, as
it takes no air in through the
smoke stack, but through the
oieniug in the chest head by the
sinking of the cap. The oi! is re
ceived at the same place.

double the lisl. In many cases hunger
seems to have destroyed all the finer feel
ing's of humanity. As I was assured by
many of the inhabitants bodies have been
allowed to remain as many as four days in
the streets, and the dogs have partially de
voured them. While this seems too bad to
be true I cau yet hardly doubt it, fir while
I sat conversing with the (Jovernor I heard
orders given for the burial of two bodies
that had lieen lying at the edge of the town
two days already awaiting interment.
The people of the town, as well as stran
gers, have licen driven to the greatest
straits. Their selling aud buying have
both been at a ruinous rate. In the winter
copper dishes were sold at six piastres, the
oak and bread bought at eight, by weight
only three fourths as much as copper.
Leaving Soongoorloo, the next places
visited was Kaya Dibi, in the Salman dis
tricts, about twenty miles south of .Soon
goorloo. In that village of fifty to sixty
houses, I was assured that more that 100
persons have already died of starvation.
One man with whom I eon versed assured
me lhat ot his live sons four were already
dead aud the fifth could live but a very
short time. Hoth the Judge and the io'-iL'i-
are authority for the following facts :
In that village a camel died in the stable
and was allowed to remain there forty
days. When, at the end of that time, the
stable was opi ned and the body dragged
out, the people rushed to secure portions
to eat. The iu il !, had it buried and the
people dug it up, and he was obliged to set
a gi:ird to keep them from it. Such as
! cut of if died.
NO I.IVIXO TO BURY THE DEAD.
I Many of the villages of this district are
entirely depopulated ; others are nearly so.
I The Judge told me that about nine miles
; nearly west of Kaya Dibi, in the village of
I Heraklt!, formerly containing some -10(1
souls, but 1 were left, and that in that
: village a body had already been awaiting
interment ten days, and that people must
be. brought from other villagas to perform
this last rite of humanity. This same in
dividual told me that in the village of Xe
fes Keoy, live hours from Yozgat, which
occupies the site of the ancient city of Ta
via, in one room he found three little chil
dren the eldest perhaps ten years of age.
There, with no oue to watch over them or
to hear their last moans, the poor little
things had died and there were none to bu
ry them. All that I saw and heard in all
my ride from Soongoorloo to Ak Serai, a
distance of 12"'t miles, served lo impress
upon my mind the terrible severity of the
famine. I spent a Sunday at Ak Serai,
and duiing those twenty-four hours at least
four persons died from starvation.

Concerning Sulphur. In 1Si53 there
was a violent eruption from Mount Etna,
in Sicily, which was attended with an
earthquake, v hereby i0,000 persons were
destroyed. The sulphur which is now sold
in the markets of the world is said to be
largely derived from veins produced on
that memorable occasion. The sulphur
is ejected from the volcanoes at the time of
their activity, and fills up vacant spaces in
the li.va or frothy pumice-stone. When
this is quarried or mined, and dug out, it
forms the brimstouc of commerce. When
this brimstone is melted and cast into
sticks, it produces the roll sulphur of the
shops ; and when the brimstone is boiled,
and its vapor is allowed to escape into an
air-tight chamber, the variety called flow
ers of sulphur is the result. Sulphur in its
natural state is found only in volcanic re
gions ; but in combination there is scarcely
any substance so universally diffused over
the world. It is found not only united
with all kinds of metals on the face of the
earth, but also in plauts and animals, and
is of so much importance to these that they
cannot exist without it. The exquisite
perfume of wall-dowers is a peculiar com
pound of sulphur. If a silver spoon be left
in an egg, it soon becomes black ; that ef
fect is caused by the sulphur of the egg
uniting with the metal. A compound of
sulphur is always present in the air we
breathe ; and although small in proportion
to its other constituents, yet the air is never
free from it.
Commercially speaking,sulphur rules the
destiny of man both in the arts of peace
and in the appliance of war. It is the key
which opens the door to the most impor
tant chemical manufactures. From it we
make sulphuric acid, or oil of vitriol, which
has well been called 'the king of the acids.'
Hy it, it is said, we are enabled to produce
so many substances that the bare mention
of them would fill the whole of this paper.
Hleaching, dyeing, soda-making, metal-refining,
electro-plating, and electric-telegraphing
are primarily indebted to this acid.
Many of the most valued medicines, such
as ether, calomel, &c, could not he made
without it. Sulphur being the chief ingre
dient of gunpowder, all the applications of
that explosive, in war aud peace, are de
pendant upon it. A people that does not
possess lucifer matches stands be3'ond the
pale of civilization, yet matches cannot be
made without sulphur ; not because match
es are dipped into melted brimstone before
they are tipped wiJ the phosphoric com
position which iguites them, but because
this very material which ignites them can
not be made without the indirect use of
sulphur. England aloue consumes more
than CiO,000 tons of sulphur annually, which
is all brought from the volcanic regions of
Sicily.
A paragraph has lately been goiug the
rounds oftlie papers iu which it is stated,
on the 'authority of Signor I'arodi (who
ought to know all about it,) that the sul
phur n Sicily will be exhausted in from
fifty to sixty years ; but Mr. W. Shelford,
iu a communication to the Journal of the
Society of arts for July 10, 1S74, gives good
reasons for doubting the accuracy of this
estimate. Mr. Shelford has inspected very
many sulphur mines iu the island, has vis
ited the most of the sulphur districts, and
has been engaged for some years in direct
ing the working of mines there. Ife says
that with very few exceptions, the ore is
carried to the surface ou the backs of boys,
two or four of whom accompany each mi
ner, and it is a well-known fact that the
produce of a mine iu Sicily is chietly deter
mined by the difficulty of gettiug boys.
Moreover, as each boy carries a small load
only, aud makes several journeys per day
u; and down the difficult headings and
shafts, the mines soon reach a depth at
which they cease to be profitably worked.
This depth is in practice found to be about
four hundred feet, below which winding
machinery is needed for hauling the ore to
the surface, but has hitherto scarcely been
tried. All the sulphur in the island, there
fore, below four hundred feet, is almost un
touched. That this quantity is considera
ble may be inferred from the fact that ina
uy of the beds of ore are nearly vertical,
and improve as they descend.
A Japane.se Weddino. The Japanese,
not caring to be burdened for half their
lives with the consequence of indulgiug,
against their will, in the extravagant fes
tivities necessary for getting married in the
orthodox manner, resort lo a species of
cloicment to avoid pecuniary embarrass
ment. Au honest couple have a marriage
able daughter, and the latter is acquainted
with a fiue young fellow, who would be a
capital match if only he possessed the
uecessary means of making his lady-love,
aud her parents, the indispensable wedding
parents, of keepiug open house for a week.
Oue line evening the father and mother,
returning from the bath, Cud the house
empty ; the daughter is gone. They make
inquiries iu the neighborhood, no one has
seen her; but the neighbors liasteti to oiler
their services in seeking her with her dis
tracted parents. They accept the olli r, and
head it .solemn procession, which goes from
street to street, to the lover's door. Iu
vain does be hide behind his panels, turn a
deaf ear : he is at length obliged to yield to
the importunities of the besiegining crowd,
lie ojens the door, and the young girl,
drowned in tears, throws herself at the feet
of her parents, who threaten to curse her.
Then comes the intervention of charitable
friends, deeply moved by this spectacle ;
softening of the mother, the proud and iu
cxorable attitude of the father.the combined
eloquence of the multitude, employed to
soften his heart ; the lover's endless pro
testations of his resolution to become the
best of sons-in-law. At length the father
yields, his resistance is overcome ; he raises
his kneeling daughter, pardons her lover,
and calls him his son-in-law. Then almost
as by enchantment cups of saki circulate
through the assembly. Everybody sits
down upon mats ; the two culprits are
placed in the centre of the circle ; large
bowls of saki are handed to them ; and,
when they are emptied, the marriage is
recognized aud declared to be validly con
tracted in the presence of a sufficient num
ber of witnesses, and is registered the next
day by the proper officer without any dif
ficulty. Truly this is an ingenious way out
of difficulty, and clearly sIiowb that the
Japanese have an innate talent of comedy

How Mules Came into FAsniox. -Few
of the farmers of thi3 country are
aware what a debt of gratitude they owe
Oeorge Washington for the introduction
of mules into general use for farm purposes.
Previous to 17715 there were very few.
and those were of such an inferior order as
to prejudice farmers against them ss unfit
to coini-te with horses upon the road or
farm. Consequently then; were no jacks,
and no disposition to increase the sioek ;
but Washint)!: became convinced that the
introduction of mules generally among
Southern plauters would prove to them a
great blessing, as they are less liable to dis
ease, and long-lived, and work upon shor
ter feed, and are much less liable to be in-
jured than horses by careless driving.
As soon as it became known abroad that
the illustrious Washington desired to stock
his Mount Vernon estate with mules the
King of Spain sent him a jack and two jan
ncls front the royal stables, and Lafayette
sent another jack and two jancets from the
island of Malta.
The first was a gray color eighteen hands
high, heavily made, and of sluggish nature.
He was named the Royal Gift. The other
was called the Knight of Malta ; he was
about as high lithe, fiery even to ferocity.
The two different sets of animals gave
him the most favorable opportunity of mak
ing improvements by cross-breeding, the
result of which was the jack Compound,
because he partook of the best points ia
both the origiual. The General bred his
blooded mares to these jacks, even taking
those from his family coach for that pur
pose, and produced such superb mules that
the country were all agog to breed some of
the sort, and they soon became quite com
mon. This was the origin of improved
mules in the United SLates. There are
now some of the third and fourth genera
tions of the Knight of Malta and Royal
Gift to be found in Virginia, and the great
benefit arising from their introduction to
the country are to be seen upon every cul
tivated acre in the' Southern States.
The Gentle Dignity of Woman.
There is in particular (says the Saturday
Review) that soft dignity which belongs to
women who are affectionate by nature and
timid by temperament, but who have a re
serve of self-respect that defends them
against themselves as well as against
olhers. These have a quiet dignity, tem
pered by much swentness of speech and
manner, that is the loveliest kind ef all,
aud the most subtle as well as the most
beautiful. They are like the lady in Cviiws,
and seem to cast the spell of respect on all
with whom they ore associated. Xo roan,
save of the coarsest fibre, and such as only
physical strength cau control, could be
rude to them in word or brutal in deed; for
there is something about them, very indefi
nite, but very strong withal, which seems
to give them special protection from inso
lence ; and a loving woman of soft raan
uers, whose mind is pure, and who respects
herself, is armed with a power which none
but the vilest can despise. This is the wo
man who gets a precise obedience from her
servants without exacting it, and whose
children do not dream of disputing her
wishes ; who, though so gentle and affable,
stops short of that kind of familliarity
which breeds contempt, and with whom no
one takes a liberty. For this one can
scarcely give a reason. She would not
ramp or rave if she were displeased, she
would not scold, she could not strike ; but
there is a certain quality in her which we
may be able to formularize, yet which
would make us ashamed to pass beyond
boundaries of the strictest respect, and
which restrains others less critical than
ourselves as certaiuly as fear.
Thk Effects of Had Company. A
few days ago a Southerner, who is not be
yond the shady side of thirty-five, was one
of the band of prisoners in the dock of a
New Vork 1'olice Court, and on complaint
of a young woman of no considerable grace,
was committed to Hlackwell's island for a
time. The accused, but a few years ago,
was oue of the brightest intellectual ge
niuses of the South, a rising loliticiau in
one of the Carol iu as, and served as an offi
cer in the confederacy. The war ended as
disttstriously for him as for others, and he
sought to better his fortunes in the North ;
ami since the war, a portion of his time,
held the position of drummer for one of
our largest mercantile houses. But three
years ago, however, he became infatuated
with a woman of the world, the twain be
gan to lead a rather suspicious and not al
together strictly honorable life. She soon
divested him of money, reputatiou, posi
tion aud friends, and then deserted her
lord to his fate. Needless t. add, the cou
ple quarreled, and in default of . bail, to
keep the peace, the Southerner was sent to
prison. Here he suffered the disgrace of
conlineinement uutil Monday, when some
kind friends, who had befriended him in
other days, sought and procured his re
lease. Don't Auusk the Old Horse. If
the faithful servant that has worked for
you so m iny years is not quite as strong
or llect as in years one by, perhaps he is
worth as much to you as ti anybody,
(iootl care and getierous feeding will make
even au old horse more valuable thaa if
starved or abused. If your business re
quires younger or smarter horse flesh, keep
the old one for the women or children to
drive. Old acquaintances are often safer
than new ones. If you cannot keep both,
give the old one to some old former, who
you know will be kind to him, with the pro
mise that be shall not trade him off to some
brutal master, but will keep him as long as
he is worth keeping, and the kindly lay
him away where he will be beyond the
reach ol hunger or pain.
Many an old horse, if be knew his situa
tion would thank his owner to take away
his life as a burden too heavy to bear. We
have got into the habit of being both too
careless and loo cruel to old horses in this
country. We owe it to them as our ser
vants, as well as to ourselves as human be
ings, that we see to it that our horses arc
not ueccessarily abused or neglected as soon
as they begin to show signs of old age.
A Schoolboy, being requested to write
a composition on the subject of 'Pins,' pro
duced the following : 'Pins are very useful.
They have saved the lives of a great many
men, women and children in fact whole
families.' 'How so?' asked the puzzled
teacher ; and the boy replied : 'Why, by
not swallowing them.' This matches the
story of the other boy who defined salt as
'the stuff that makes the potatoes taste had
when yon don't ptit on any."
