Those who nave read that charming romance by Sir Walter Scott, "The Talisman," cannot fail to remember the vivid pictures which he gives ua of the state of the arts among tho Sara cens, and of the high degree of per fection which they have attained in some of its branches. In tho science of medicine it is claimed they had at tained a degree of knowledge and skill which put to fhaine the efforts nf their nidre clumsy and ignorant Western contemporaries. In the manufacture of delicate textile fabrics, they had certainly reached a wonderful degree of perfection ; for wo know from other testimony besides that of Scott, that their fine gauze vsils were so delicato and so perfect, that while they did not i;i tho slightest degree obscure tho clearness of vision of the wearers, they completely excluded the flue dust of the desert, which is so annoying to travelers, and withal so penetrating that the most closely wrapped pack ages are not proof against it. These veils were so delicate and light, that when skilliully thrown la the air, they floated off as if posscsed of no more weight than thistle-down. And yet such was tho perfection to which these same people hud brought tho art of sword making, that Scott represents Saladiu as throwing such a veil iu the air, aud dividing it in two with the sttoko of his cimitcr, the sepnrate pieces floating o(T in different direc tions. With tho same weapon ho is to have cut in two a light feather pillow, leaving the separate halves standing upright, as if they had remained un touched. Although those facts find a distant record only in the pages of romance, they are said to be fully vouched for by cod temporary historians, aud so fur at least as delicate fabrics are con cerned, they are almost equaled by the spindles and looms of Ilindostan. The Indian weaver, working in moist and underground apartments, not only secures for the material in which he works those conditions which are nec essary for the production of the most delicate fabrics, but attains in his own person that morbidly Sensitive nervous condition which confers upon him the delicate tactile power capable of pro ducing a fabric which from its exceed ing delicacy has been called "woven wind." Samples of these fabrics were exhibited at the World's Fair in 1851 ; and so fine were they that a ''hole piece when folded to the full width could be drawn through an ordinary sized wedding ring. Ji,ven by ma chinery, the most wonderful results havo been attained; although it must be confessed that the best looms of Manchester have not been able to equal the work of the native East In dian operative. A single pound of cotton has been spun into yarn that measured over two hundred miles a degree of tcutiity, which almost rivals that attained by the most ductile met als. But by far the most wonderful at tempts to rival the work of these East ern artists was that made by an officer of engineers residing iu Munich, who conceived the ingenious idea of em ploying the caterpillar itself, not only as the spinner but tho weaver. Hav ing made a paste of the plant of which the species ot catternillar that be em ploys feeds, he spreads its thinly over a stone, or other flat surface ot the ro quired size. He then, with a camel- hair pencil dipped in olive oil, draws the pattern he wishes to leave open. This stone is then placed in an iuclined position, and a considerable number oi tho caterpillars are placed at the bottom. A peculiar species is chosen which spins a strong web ; and the animals commence at the bottom, eating and spinning ihoir way to the top.carlully avoiding every part touch ed by the oil, but devouring every oth er part of the paste. The extreme lightness ot these veils, combined with some strength, is truly surprising. Way down South, in the days be fore tho. names of Iloe and Bullock had become household words, a paper was printed on a llumage machine, by an old colored pressman named bam The forms were always placed on the press and made ready for bun; an J so, with a well-trained roller boy, the working of the paper progressed satis fuctorily. But it happened ono day that Sam, who could not read, whs throwu entirely on his resources. He put the form to press nnd pulled a sheet; looked at it intently ; turned it over; Bomethintr was the matter; be looked ajraiu, felt the tytnpan, held it up to the light, aud looked over his spectacles at the grinning roller boy, exclaimed, "Look, neat, boy, why lore yer don't 'stribit yer rollah?" Tho form was bottom up ! AH ways of earning his bread are alike becoming to an honest man. whether it be to split wood or sit at the helm u state. It does not concern his conscience how useful ho is, or how r..i i. i i i. ' uai'iui iiu nuuiu uu. , SEPTEMBER 3. 1873. A FRONTIER EDITOR. A Bisraark, Dakota Territory, tor respondent writes: I was escorted around Bismark the evening of ray ar rival by Mr. Lounsberry, the editor of the Bismarck Tribune. He had been a Colonel in the army and was full of bullet wounds, and he had voluntari ally left a good position on the Minne apolis Tribune and puts his little pile of savings into a newspaper venture at this lonely settlement, nearly twelve hundred miles northwest of Chicago. He showed me, with pride, his ofhee arising under the hammers of the car penters, and his press and fonts of type, and the compositors he had paid to conio with him raoro than six hundred miles from St. Paul. Said I: "What did"all this cost you?" "Four thousand dollars before I shall issue a number of my paper." "Don't you feel a little neivous about the prospect here ?" "Well," said Lounsberry, "I have studied it all. There is bouud to be a largo town at the Missouri river cross ing, and X nave some years loft and can wait, "Did the railroad give you an help?" "Only transportation. "Well." thought I to mvself. "if such a chap as this tries such a hopo, I won't drive a nail iu his cross." Go on, Lounsberry, and may the world grow up around you and sub scribers be plentiful. Ihere is some thing in this northern country when there are suoli game fellows to begin with. It was even touching to see this most banished Of all newspaper men who must have loved society like all our tribe acquainted already with everv male being in Bismark, and looking on all with equal charity and consideration, as they seemed to be proud and tender with him. "Advertise f said bhaw, the leading merchant; "yes, sir! Advertising is the life of business." A little town needs to keep the edi tor up to his work ; for. Lord bless us, we expect a heap of comfort out ot i. ... . i.:'.. "Come in-, Lounsberry, said i,d. Martin, the great gambler whose place was lull ot sweat cloths and laro box es a mighty plank shanty, lined with tables of chnnco "and is this Georgo Altordr We all know inm. Uentle- mcn, anything in the house is yours. This newspaper is a tech of nater that makes the whole world kin." So did Mr. Shang, the gambler, who had killed his man, show some mysten ous tenderness for the institutions of society moving up, and his loud, bully ing voice was brought down to a con versational tone as he addressed us. Here where there was no law of any description Dakota having mado no provision for a county goverumcnt at this distant point the coming news paper seemed to strike American hu- mau nature, ana give it tue attach ments of society, and a certain pining for authority and protection among the worst classes. All around about the little hutted city the vast plains of grass extended to the sky, and the stars seemed wide apart in the enor mous tarmament as they looked wide open downward upon the preposterous town. Uut there was not a trader in Bismark who did not look as saucily back, nnd say, "By Gad 1 old blinkers up there, you'll get used to us after awhile ; we ve como to stay, The Flushing, Long Island Times tells this: The wife of a prominent judge in this county, while riding home by rail recently, was approached by tue conductor tor ber ticket. With out looking up from the pages of the book in which sho was absorbed she thrust her hand into her pocket and handed him what she supposed to be a ticket. In a moment or two she be' came conscious that he was still stand ing by her side, Jind lookiug up she beheld, to her lutiuite motilication and tho no small amusement of the pass engcrs, the conductor gazing with the utmost disgust upon a fine-tooth comb 1 It wns remarked by the passengers that the scenery along the route was remarkably fascinating to Mrs. Judge tho rcmaiuder ot the journey. An cxnerienced husband in Lafay ette sent two switches home to his wife, from which sho was to roako a selec tion, but before doing it ho changed tho tags, putting the $25 one on the 510 switch, and vice versa. After critical examination by herself and lady friends, the choice fell upon the one labeled $25, and she decided to keep it, notwithstanding her husband's plaintive protest that he could not af ford to pay more than (10 for such an article. After Mr. Cusev had finished read ing the "Declaration," ou the Fourth at Mound City, Illinois, a man rose and moved that the speech be pub lished, as it was one of tho best speech' cs ho hud ever ' hecru in lus I no, $2 PER ANNUM. DIFFliBKNT NTVI.ES OF DANCI. The fashion of dancing is not at ail cosmopolite not even national. In Saratoga the different styles make a medley. it you see a 200 pound man and wo man perspiring around with their pompons bodies tossed lightly aud pringily in air, arms swaying, keep- t? good timo, and making errand Perisian salaams for a bow in the Lancers, you can set thern down as be longing to the old Tweed-Fisk-Leland-Americus Club school. If you see two heated voune people tripping fast away ahead of the music, taking short 6teps, and jerking tin ough a square dance as if tho house was on fire and the set must be completed be fore any one could take to the fire-escapes, you can set them down as from the plantation districts of the South or the rural districts of Pensylvauia and the West. It is the steamboat quickstep. It you see a black-eved vnuth with long hair, and a vouni? ladv with liquid black eyes, and she has her two hands on the young man's shoulders at full length, and she stands directly in front of him, and they both go hop ping around like Siamese twius with wire springs under them, you can ' wa ger they are from Louisville, Memphis, or Little Rock. They have the Bquare- toed wrestling step. it you see a younc lellow erasn a young lady firmly around tho waist, seize her wrist, stick her hand out like the bowsprit of a Sound yacht, and both hump up their backs like a pair of rand cats on a door-yard fence, and then go sliding slam-bang against peo ple, over people, through people, up nnd down the room, sidewise. back ward, and up and down like a saw mill gate, you can bet on them having learned their dancing from the Morris town, Riverdale, and Yorkers' socia bles. It is the suburban New York saw-mill jump-up. it you see a couple sliding gently and slowly and lazily through the Lan cers, just half as fast as the time, but keeping step with the music, quietly sauntering through the "grand chain, too languid to whirl partners, talking sweetly all the time, as if they were strolling in a graveyard, you can rest assured that they are from New York, aud trom the most laslnonable section between Madison square and tho Park. aims is me graveyard saunter step. it you see a lc! low clasnaeirl melt- ingly in his arms, squeeze her hand warmly, hold her swelling bosom to his, and they both go floating down the room locked in each other's em brace, looking like one person, his feet ouly cow and then protruding from a profusion of illusion and lace and so on, rely upon it you can set the two down as belonging to the intense Boston school. It is the melting Harvard jacket-race embrace. Massachusetts, take our hat! Eh Perkins. A DfcNPlSAULK ML'l.K. The negro and mule, writes a friend in Clintou Louisiana, are insepcrable companions in the bouthern cotton holds, and like the lliawatuan string and bow.uieless each without the other. Ihe lazy indifference and careless cru elty of the one, and wonderful powers ot endurance ot severe labor, bad treatment and neglect of the other, complete the compatibility of the two races necessary tor the production of tour millions ot bales. A characteris tic anecdote may be relished by those who havo had experience of the two. The spectator had taken refuge from the sun's perpendicular rays under the shade of a snreadiug bcacb. sub tea. miuejatt and lay recumbent, enjoying the fitful breezes and the sombre i'rothi ness of the country newspaper, Along tho dusty road which passed by this retreat came jogging a negro.mountcd on a mulo, both apparently asleep. As the somnolent pair approached the spot, some wicked spirit of the place gave the paper a flirt, which no sooner seen anu nearu man the mule, as mules only know hew, instantly "swapped ends" and leaving the negro sprawling in tho dirt, took his depart ure under lull sail. Iho negro, halt raising himself and wiping the dust from his eyes and mouth, watched the retreating mule for some time in si lence, but at length, unconscious of an auditor gave expression to this philosophic soliloquy : "Dat s what makes mo 'eniso mule!"

They say that the chief astronomer at the Washington Observatory was dreadfully sold a few days ago. A, wicked boy, whose Sunday school ex-, perience seems only to have made him, more depraved, caught a fire -fly. and stuck it, with the aid of some muci- lege, in the centre of the largest lens the telescope. That night, when tho astronomer went to work, he per ceived a blazo of light appcarcntly in he heavens, and what amazed him more was that it would give a couplo of spurts and then die out, only to burst forth in a second or two. lie examined it carefully for a few mo ments, and then began to do sums to discover wherp in the beavcqs that ex trnordinary star was placed. He thought he found the locality, and tho next morning he telgraphed all over the uuiverse that he had discovered s ew aud remarkable star of the third magnitude in Orion. In a day or two all the astronomers in Europe and America were studying Orion, and they gazed at it for hours until they got mad, aud theu began to telegraph In iUn .... ! -.1 I . .

People down at Alexndrm, seven miles distant, heard part of the wearing, and they say he mlused into much whole-souled sincerity and vigorous energy. Ihe bills for tele-, graph dispatches amounted to $2,600, and now the astronomer wants to find the boy, as he wishes to consult with him about something. BROUGHT BACK TO LIFli. A curious story of the bringing to life of a man who bad committed sui cide by hanging at Val-do-Grace, Can ton, Friburg, is told by the Canjideye. On the first diagnosis the doctors af firmed that asphyxti was complete ; the body gave not the slightest sign of lite, it being blue and rigid. One of the physicians present, however, would not leave tho corpse without making a final experiment on it. He uncover ed the breast, and attempted for some time to induce respiration by artificial means but without result. He then applied the polo of an electric battery to the passago of the pneumo-gastrio nerves, and caused a strong current to pass at intervals of four second. Al most immediately feeble signs of res piration reappeared. Fivo minutes afterwards the radical pulse and tho cardiac pulse became perccptable. The epigoltist was turaificd.and it was nec essary to pull the tongue out of the mouth with a pair of pincers in order to render the respiration freer. A few ounces of blood were then drawn from the raediocephalio vein. The dilated pupils contracted gradually,- and the signs of life became more and more manifest, ihe patient was then ablo to swallow a small quantity of alco hol. Finally a slight muscular con traction was perceptible without the intervention ot electricity the stusibiU ity of the cornea reappeared ; then the feet became warm again, and soon af ter the regular pulsations of thecarotie arteries were easily perceptible, aw i A Georgia college has conferred the degree of L. L. D. upon Alexander II, Stephens, late Vice President of the Confederacy. A local paper descrih. ing the interesting scene, says i 'This sudden announcement was like an elastic shock upon the audience; a momentary pause, a breathless silence, was sccceedod by a universal and prQ longed shout of applause." If a man must be robbed by high waymen, Iowa is tho place to have it done. A pair of these gentry who were rubbing a farmer, the other day, held an umbrella over his head to keep tho sun off while they went through him, and offered him a s'id of good brandy when they had finished the job. An inexperienced young man went gunning with a party of old Nimrods the other day, and now he says he kuows what is meant by "the hunts man's mellow horn." It holds about a quart, he says, and the huntsman be comes pretty "mellow" after inspect ing tho "horu" several times. The Kansas Grangers have resolved to lynch the next orator that begins his address to them with "I'm not a farmer, but have always taken a pro found interest in tho truly noble and predominant pursuit of agriculture." A Republican nowspapcr iu Indiana, speaks of the great and good General Butler as tho cock-eyed man of desti ny. A boy being asked whut iinrue was given to residents of the United States, promptly answered, "Tax-payers,"
