It brings up the very age, with all its bustle of very day affairs and marks its genius and its spirit witll more than the most labored description of the historian., Who can take a paper dated half a century ago without the -thotight that almost every name there !stinted is cut upon a tombstone. It is easy to preserve newspapers, and they will repay the trouble, for, like wine, value increases with their years. Seeing the Real Thing. The Virginia, (Nevj Enterprise says: "Some students of a New -York reining school who were *visiting -the Bonanza mines, wanted. to know what it was that was called. a 'winze.' They evi- dently thought it was something like a 'winch,' and was revolved by means of a crank, They also mistook the air pipes running along the drifts for the pump camel:L. The noise of the under - wound maohinery led them at first to believe that something was about to 'bust.' They were all glad when they got out, and will probably go home and study. for the Min i StrV. - • NOf Strange Germam Library. A singular library exists at Warsen- tein, near Cassel ; the books comprising it, or rather the substitutes for them, being made of wood, and everyfone of them is a speeimen of some different . tree. The book is farmed of its bark, and the sides areconstruoted of polished pieces of the same stock. When, put together the whole forms a box; and inside of it are stored the fruit, seed and . leaves, together with the moss which grows on the trunk, and the insects whieh feed upon the tree, every volume corresponds in size, and the colleetion altogether has an excellent effeot. • Wheat in China. Returned. Chinamen who haye learn. - ed in California to prefer wheat to rice are introducing a taste for it and the cultivation of it into their native land. For the last three years they have im- rOollrted the grain considerably, but they -- soon have enough and. to spare of me production; They Cultivate so Muth more eiosely than we that forty bushels to the acre is about the lowest yield, and this pays well at twenty-frve cents a bushel delivered at Hong Kong. Their sweep of country adapted to wheat exceeds that, of the Paelfic slope tenfold, and -their post of labor is 75 per cent, less. As a competitor of Califor- nia China may very shortly become for- midake, .. ' The dia.dge's "Black Cap. The coif cap -is still worn in undi- minished proportions by Judges when a they pass the sentence of death, and is generally known as the "black eap." In ola time the justice on ina,k-ing ready to pronounce the awful wards which consigned a fellow being to a horrible death was wont to draw up the flat, square, black cap, that sometimes hung at the nape of his neck or the upper part of his elumilder. Having recovered the whiteness of his coif, and partially concealed his forehead and brows with the sable eloth heproceeded to utter the dread sentence with soleran composure and firmness: At present the black cap is assumed to strike terror into the hearts of the vulgar, formerly it was palled over the eyes, to hide the emotion of the judge.—Jeferson's Book about Lawyers. position. One moment we ricochetted from a rough piece of hard substance, and were flying in the air; a second later were buried as the guide had been in six feet of BROW. Noxt came the turn of my followers. Thcir descent was a fearful thing to witness, but for- tunately not half so dangcrojus as it ap- peared. With the excepticln of some damage to the luggage and saddlery, there was little harm done.

And inehalf an hour the two w re married and being congratulated by t eir friends. This actually occurred only Ia, few weeks ago in the near vicinity of F in this. county. The occa ion was a country dance, the particip nts' were a farmer's son and a farmer s daughter, neither of Whom had excha, ged a word with the other Until thei,bove scene ocourred. - The young fello had been drinking and thpught he would say something smart,' and astonisb the girls with his ao.daeity. The girl, how- ever, had heard that he was a 'good • fellow,' and being moved bY that spirit which will not take a &ire if death come,' took him at his word. They are now living.evith the young fellow's parents, and are studying each other's character -at their leisure." I MoodyHomestead. The homestead of Evangelist D. L. lifoody, near Narthfield village, Mass., is thus deseribed : It is a plain, sub- stantiel, -white wooden farmhouse in good. order, with one large room for meetings.' It stands on one of the most beautiful spots imaginable, over- looking toward the north several miles. of valley and river, with mountains •east, west and north. Mr. Moody has two horses—a farm horse and the cele- brated horse reported in the papers last winter to have cost several thousands of dollars, but which really cost some- thing over two hundred dollars.

Cards were at once circu- lated through the house, and many open pledges were made fo sums vary- ing from $100 to $5,000. en about $38,000 had. been raised, the scene grew exciting. The audience would not listen to the suggestion tijat the sub- scription remain open till tie next day, but desired to have the reMaining $10,- 000 pledged. On the spot.

Mr. Welsh was condemned to death in the year 1605 for attending the .session of the General §ssembly of Scotland contrary to the desire of King Jams.

Old paper can be used. in Many ways; therefore never throw it away. After a stove has been blaekeieed, it can be kept :looking well for a long time by rubbing it well with paper every morning. Rub- bing with paper is a. much nicer way of keeping the outside of a tea. kettle, cof- • fee pot, and tea pot bright and. clean than the old way of -washing them in suds. Rubbing with paper is also the best -way af polishing the knives, tin- ware and spoons; they shine Eke new Par polishing nairrors,windoses„ hemp chimneys, &Ca paper is better than dry cloth.
