One of the most remarkable tur? is the M'-jnilra vtili-, or pottery tree, cf Brazil. The wood and bark eon tain a large amount cf silica, and the latter is much used in making pot tery. In preparing the bark lor the potter's use, it is first burned, and the residue is then pulverized and mixed with clay in varying propor tions. With an equal quantity ol the two ingredients, a superior quality of ware is produced. It is very durable, and will bear almost any amount cf heat. The natives employ it f r all manner of culinary purposes. When fresh, the bark cuts like soft sand stone, and the presence cf the silex may by readily ascertained by grind ing a piece of the bark between the teeth. When dry it is generally brit tle, though sometimes hard to break. After being burned, il of good quali ty, it cannot be broken up between ! the lingers, a pestle and mortar being required to crush it. Hold In Kncland. The bullion in the Bank of England increased during the last week nine hundred and twenty nine thousand pounds, and now the reserve is forty eight and one-ciqhth per cent, of the liabilities an increase of three and one-eighth per cent, for tbc week. The bank directors, as a consequence of this increase and enormous amount cf bullion, have reducee the rate of discount and fixed the minimum at two and a half per cent. This shows a very fave.able condition of British trade. An editor, who speaks with the air cf a man who has discovered a new fact by experience, says that the new way to prevent bleeding at the nose is to keep it out of other people's business. The theory of Saviugs Iiiks seems to have orig'natcd" in Switzer land about 1 In 1S61 the capital of Savings ! Banks in G real LJntaiu and Ireland had reached the immense sum ot fortv-two million pounds, (?210,000, 000.) However large this vast sum invested in British Savings Banks nav seem to the reader, it is only abo'ut cnc-fth of the sum now on deposit in the Savings Banks of the United States. The deposits i: our Savings Banks have accumulated beyond the round sum of one billion of dollars (1.C00 , 000,000); this sum being fourteen times greater than the capital cf the "Bank of England," with all its branches. This should take the brag outcf John Bull. The Edlnlurj Review of as cany date as ISIS, said: "It would be dif ficult, we fear, to convince either the people or their rulers that the spread of Savings Banks is of far more ira portanco,"and far more likely to in crease the happiness and even the rrcatness of the nation, than the most brilliant success of its arms, or the most stupendous improvements of its trade cr its agriculture. And yet we ore persuaded that it is so." In Scotland the saving-fund is a moral science, exercising a moral in fluence scarcely second to tLe Church upon the minds and habits of the mechanic and the laborer. A prom inent clergyman ol Philadelphia re cently said that a certain Savings Bank of that city was, he believed, exercising an amount of good equal to an single Christian congregation. And if money-saving is not a pnn- lent c of ethics it nevertheless exer- - 1 cises a preventive mimcum ugaiusi.

Mie replied, pettishly, that her the door and. her head towards the pulpit. As she fell her clothing crack ed like Chinese crackers exploding, and on examining her face it was found that her eyelids were complete ly gone. She was dead, but it was impossible to close her eyes, because of the loss of her lids. When her friends crowded around to raise her up, they found themselves unable to move her. The sequel showed that it took twelve strong men to lift her "from the floor, and twelve to put her in her coffin. It also reouired the united exertions ot -t , nilsPPVIwi the lid of the coffin suddenly raised of its own accord, and something "about the size ot a black cat, but which was not a black cat," leaped out And as this creature jumped from the coffin to the floor it cried aloud to the pet rified audience, "Wait! wait! wait until I curl my hair!"'

The experiment of steam naviga tion on the Erie Canal has proved successful. The engines designed by Mr. William Baxter were awarded the! first State prize cf $70,000, of which $35,000 is to be paid after he has put seven boats on the canal. The second prize $30,000, in two installments was awarded to the plan of Mr. Bobbins, of Buffalo, ou condition that before drawing the first moiety cf the sum he should place three boats on the canal. Jlr. Bax ter, as soon as the commission had announced the award, formed the Baxter Steam Canal Transportation Company, which already has two boats runninc between New York and Buffalo. Their time is from six to seven days each way, w hile the boats drawn by horses consume from thir teen to fourteen days. Mr. Dobbins, owner of the second best boat, has consolidated his interest with thatof the Baxter Company, and is building three boats at Buffalo on the Baxter plan. For the Baxter Company five unfinished boats are on the stocks in Ilondout and two in Frankfort, llerk- liner ouuiy. .Leiore navigaiion closes the company will have ten or more boats running. Their capacity is to be from 200 to 225 tons, as it has been demonstrated that a boat of larger size cannot navigate the canal profitably. Their draught will be six feet. " The freight rates from Buf falo to New York on the new line for grain are from one half to one cent less per bushel on grain than on the horse boats. Benzine end clean marble. common clay -will There is a negro Samson named Nelson do Lisle in New Orleans, lie is a horse dealer by !rofessio3, and the trick cf his trade is to take posses- sion cf horses in an unauthorized manner, lie was denominated a horse f : f -before a court in New Or leans 1.-00, and sent to the Sute prise!,, where he stayed only six days cf tl.o five vca?3 awarded fcini. He brcle juil by snapping iron bars 03 if they had been pine (sticks, ana carry ing the outer gate, and fled and hid. The police have been on the lookout for him, and afraid they would una him. The other day two or three of them got hold of him, but Lc broke loose and laid them out on the pave ment with one blow each of his mighty arm. Dc Lisle then ran, and the cry cf "stop thief' was raised, and a gathering crowd surged in pursuit. A policeman fired three shots at him without any apparent effect, and he was at length brought to a halt by running, as it were, in a crowd of about a thousand men that had collected about him, both before and behind him in his flight The friction of such a mass was too much for him, and he saw the living wall close around him. He had no jaw bone of an ass, or any modern weap on to wield, or he might have waded through that thousand men and been free. It took twelve muscular white Americans to take him to the station house, a3 he kept up a skirmishing bsht all the way. He was put in the stocks, and it was found that a pistol ball had passed through his thigh, and a club had indented his for'head over the eye. His vitals, w hich were covered with a heavy coating of upper leather, were un harmed. The authorities ore think ing oi putting uej-iifcio iu iiiuiuiiAimj, feats of strength for their amusement, as the Philistines did Samson of old He is not cf exaggerated size, being a little over medium size, but his mould is Herculean and his endurance is equal to that of a steam engine of twenty horse-power. ATcsas Ant or. In Southern Texas there is a cat tle raiser who has lived there twenty years. When he went there he picked up a dozen cows and branded them, lie owned no land, but was the possessor of a wife, two or three guns, a few dog3 and two or three horses. He kept watch over his cows and lived in a hand-to-mouth way for several J'ears, subsisting his family by the capture of gamo and the sale of skins. In May 1S73, he owned 30,000 head of cattle duly branded, ranging over the plains. He has a family cf nine children, live of whom are boys. His oldest child is a girl nine teen years of age. She trots around with "bare feet, can rope a steer, kill a wolf with a rifle, or strangle a dog at arm's length.- In the man's house there is a nail kcr filled with gold coin, while in the pantry is a flour barrel almost full of silver pieces. hen Lc sells cattle it is for coin, which is dumped on the premises, he will not take paper mon ey at any rate, but is always ready to sell s-teers for gold or silver. His boys arc all familiar with guns, horses and cattle. In a few years they will have literally cart loads ol money provided robbers do not make a rade upon them, in which case between man, wife, boys, girls, dogs and shot guns the raiders would be apt to get more bullet holes than bullion. The house occupied by this pros perous family is low, built of logs and contains three rooms. The father and mother sleep in the dining room, and the girls sleep in the spare room, while the boys sleep in the addition. The girls do not know much about honiton lace cr the opera, but they can show a nice lot cf calves, and skio a veal as quick as an Ohio wo men can ret tin an open air praver meeting. Kenya's of the Tomato. Dr. Bennett, a professor cf some celebrity, considers the tomato as an invaluable article of diet, and as cribes to it very important medical properties : 1. That the tomato is one of the most powerful aperients of the materia medico, and that in all those affections of the liver and organs where calomel is indcspensiblc, it is prabably the most effective and least harmful remedial agent known to the profession. 2. That the chemical extract pill can be obtained from it which will altogether supersede the use of calo mel in the use of diseas. S. That he has successfully treated diarrhu-a with this article alone. 4. That when used as an article of diet, it is almost a sovereign remedy for dispepsia and indigestion. 5. That the citizens in ordinary should make use of it either raw, cooked, or in the form of catsup, with their daily'food, as it is a most healthy article. Crae&inx of I'car. Pears tlo not crnok when the foil is suuieiently supplied with lime and potash ; and they crack most where the salts a;e tlcfirloiit. Conuait wood ashes contain those salts, near ly in the nviantity mid proportions that pear tr s rexuire foriy per cent, of lime. Reasoning from these facts, I applied wood ashes at the rate of four hundred bushels to the acre, afier the fruit had formed and cracked. Manyofthein healed up and made perfect fruit the same sea son, others not until the next season. A friend, at my suggestion applied it heavily to a favorite butter pear tree in his garden for several years in succession, and has had for several years perfect and delicious pears, and I will guarantee it to cure any case where the ashes are fairly and abun dantly applied. Matrbea. Although friction matches are as common as nails, a very small pro portion of those who use them under stand the priuciple on which they operate. It is, in fact, a very sim ple affair. The tip of a match is a combination of sulphur and phos phorous. The phosphorous ignits at the heat of one hundred and twenty degrees, -which a slight friction will produce, and this in turn ignites the sulphur, which requires four hundred and fifty or live hundred degrees. The flame cTthc tulphur sets fire to j the pine wood, of which the match is composed, and which ignites at about six hundred degrees. The combination is necessary, because the phosphorous alone would not kindle the match, while the sulphur alone would U3t ignite with chc ordinarv friction.
