'• According to tradition these bones, which iniaenclosed in a marble urn, att, -under, ordinary ir- cumstances, dry, but When ever, the Catlol- io church achieves Some great triumph are covered with wateri which, issues from them. Tile Catholic papers naturally chi -int this as a manifestation of the Almighty's 1 approval of the Council, on the day• of whose opening , the prodigy was. frst noticed. On tho other hand, skeptics are. . inclined, not call§ to question the ' miradle,' ' but even. to asseLt that the _continued rain and the inundations of the Italian rivers are calamities connected, with the union o.' so many ecclesiastics at Rome. The Italians have a superstition thatwhen there is an unusual concourse of prieets something dreadful is sure to happen, and they p int to the cholera which followed th,e 'Oen @n- ary Feres as a case in point. : • A few even go so far as to talk -mysteri- ously about the jettatura; that awful curse which clings to certain individuals whose love or interest for another person -ie always fatal to the object of their ttffections. The superstition is an importation from the OX• - treme south of Europe, and in the two lies, in Greece and in Turkey, it is so de mo$ cluite4as,degradecl as thee Caith- iiettsettiatera.: Makes his''aceonnt of them so interesting is tbe extreme resem- blance they trzar to some of the poor in London whom we have always with London Freeman. iei- ply • rooted that few, even of the most educ ted people, would allow the vestibulies of Oieii. houses to be unprovided With an immense pair of bullocks horns, or would go nto the: street without 'a bone or COl'al ehrrn. hanging to their watch.chain, or witho it a • • The Order of Freemasons -. • The London Adly WelD8 remarks :----"The bulk and growth of Freemasonary, the tra- dition of the Order, the meaning of its sym- Avis, its undobted antiquity and univers- ality, its connection with the secret socie- ties of the dark ages; With the mysteries of Greece, of - Egypt, 6£ Chaldrea—all these subjects of inquiry are beyond•the contem- plation of the profane, and pc -flaps very sel- dom in the thoughts of the free and accept - ted, themselves.

The liquid employed is a solution of bicarbon- ate of soda, and taitaric acid in erystals is perforated in a tube serewed into the top of the cylinder arid dipping down into the lis quid. The contact of the acid 'and alkali, of course, generates carbonic acid gas, which rises to the top, and is ready for use, and can be drawn off through a pipe whenever required. A model -ate current of this gate turned upon a burning surface<will extin- guish it Minot immediately,. no matter how intense tee flame may be,- or how inflamma- ble the substance in combustion. In one instance a mass of dry light wood, compos- ed of barrels, split -wood, and shavings satu- rated with petroleum, equal in quantity to -several cords, was sot on tire, and alloed to burn for _some, time. Two of the extin- guishers were then brought to bear on it, told the flames were subdued instantly. The gas does nob deterioate by being kept, but remains ready for use an infinite • period of time. It may be stilted, in this connection, that not many months ago a fire broke out in the fine building of the Boston Society of Natural History; but the service of an ex-- pathies. • But -this is not the fault of Mason- ary ; it is the result of the unjust suspici- January. ons in arwhich Masonary was held by arbi- trary governments in Church_ and State. At the present time Freemasonary is ana- thematised by the dominant party in the Church of Rome. In England, however, where everything is possible and iiermited -except anarchy and persecution, Freemas-• catary has become a va.st, social communion, a grand neutral territory for the meeting of all sorts and Conditions of men, of good -fel- lowship and good -will, and a vast fraternal organization of charity, which has its own schools and oreanages, and other instituti- ons of beneficenec. When the Prince of Wales—of whom it muet be said in simple jnstice that lie is naver wanting to good of- fices and Works, and that there is no pleas- anter example to his countrymen of good fellowship and goOdeempante—is admitted a member of the United Grand Lodge of Freemasons of England, we feel that he is following the excellent traditions of his Royal Ifouse, and that if he shouid not.be qnite so scientific a Mason as the Duke 'of Sussex—for there is such a thing 'sci- ence' in the craft—he is certain to present a most agreeable and accomplished type of the Order as it exists and flourishes in Eng- land." and a rag their n are within the range of social and bum appliances, but in vain. • Tinkers' m arieS la -bared for years with no fa result.

It is formed on this wise : That portion of the snail of .the hair which is .contained within the hair tube is kept steady in its position by contact ,withl the lining scarf - skin of the tube ; and, as this skin is con- tinually undergoing the process of forma- tion and exfoliation, the superficial scales of the sheath are moved towards its. aperture with the growing bait, and are then scat- tered on the surface in the form of scurf, or dry skin; as the moistnre on coming to the surface evaporates, these dry settles necessarily form. It is, therefore, a healthy and natural secretion', and should be remov- ed, but cannot be prevented.

It is represented with the head and breasts of a woman, the wings of a bird, the claws of a lion. Its office they say, wali to propose dark enigmatical questions to all passers by ; and, if they did not give the explication of them,-- to • devour them. It made horrible ravages, as the story goes, on a mounttlin near Thebes. Apollo told Creon that she could nOt be vanquished, till some one had expounded her riddle. The riddle was----" What crea- ture is that, which. has four legs in Me morn- ing, two at noon, and three at night ?" (Edipus expounded it, 'telling her it was a man, ---who when a child, creepeth. on all fcurs ; in.his middle age., walketh on two legs, and in his old age, two and a staff. This pit the Sphynx into a great rage, r who, • finding her riddle solved, threw herself ,doirit and broke her neck. Among the Egyptians, the Sphynx was the symbol of religion; by reason of the obSeurityof its mysteries. And, on the s.ame account, the Romans placed a Sphyrix in the pronaso, or porch, of their temples, Sphynxes were used by the Egyptians, to how the begin- ning of the water's 'rising in the Nile ; ,kith this view, as it had the hletid of a woman and body of a lion, it signiped that the Nile began to swell in the months of July and -August, when the sun passes through the signs- of Lep ani Virgo ; ac- cordingly it was a hieroglyphic, which taught the people the period of the most important event in the year, as the swell- ing and overflowing Of the Nile gave fer- tility to Egypt.

TO CLEAN PAINT.—A correspondent says: There is a, very simple method to clean al- most any kind of paint that has become dirty, and if our housewives-. would adopt it, it would save them a great deal of -trouble. Provide a plate *with some of the best whiting to be had, and have ready some warm -water a,nd a. piece. of flannel clean• , whidh dip into the water and squeeze near- ly dry; then take as mucheyhiting as will adhere to it and apply it to the painted suttace, when a little rubbing will instant- ly remove any dirt or grease': After which, wash thie part well with clean water, rub- bing it well with soft chamois. Paint, thus cleaned, looks as well as when fit St laid TORONTO ONT. LIST OF PRIZES TAKEN BY R. S. Williams' Instruments. UNION EXHIBITION, TORONTO, 1861.
