and*\u2018 The Lost Chune,\u201d trodden into wire under the licofs of Sheridau\u2019s rough.riding cavalry, uot only should but will be regained in Constitutional Conventions und at the ballot-boxes.If the Black race, because they are Blick, should bo excluded from the jury-box and repelled from the ballot bax, then Stonewall Jackson ought to head the roll ot American martyrs, emblazoned high nbove the names of Warren and Mercer and Pulaski ; of Ellsworth, lyon, Baker, Royoelds, Wadsworth, Kearney, Sedgwick, nnd McPherson 1t ir difficult to argue with & blind, besotied prejudice, grounded in ignorance and fortified by nell-conceit.Devoid of reason, it is hardly amenable to reaton.But millions who would listen unmoved to appeals based on Justice nad Humanity can be stirred by facts which affect their own interest and safety.The naked truth that every Southern State recoustructed on the Whita basis is to-day n Rebel State\u2014shaped and ruled by-men who exccratest Lincoln\u2019K reluctant and tardy resistunce'to the Rebellion ns 1 cauxe- lens and criminal aggr esion, and profoundly rejuiced over Bull Run as their vietory\u2014will prove inviocible, if we can but bring it home to ths apprehension of every loyal voter, There is do paraigount question of good taith or gratitude to the Blacks, Their votes ura us necosssry to the pre pouderauce of White loyalty as to to their own protection and security.Reconstroct tire South on the White basis, and every one of the fiftecn States wuich held slaves in 1860 will beintensely, overwhelmingly Copperhead thenceforti and evermore.Allow to-day she plea that the Blucks are ignorunt and degraded, and those whom you thereby clothe with power will take good care that the ples shall Le a valid and well-grounded a century lence as it now is.Public Fdacation and Civil Rights for the Freedmen can only be uchieved and mitintained through the ballot.* We ¢ wre for Negro Sufirage\u2014the way they suffered in New \u201c¢ Orleans,\u201d wus the iuseription où à danuer borne in u late Conservative or Democratic procession in Baltimore ; and the spirit which dictated that avowal is still rampant in the South.But for what ia stigmatised as Military Des.potisw, it would daily avenge by outrage and ivfliction what it deems negro treachery to the Southern cause.Tur.TRIBUNE has declined to be lured or turned aside from the Main Quouslion.It has persistently refused to swell the clamor for vengeance nu the defeated ilebeis, whether by execution or by contisexliou ; nnd one of its strong reasons for this course ia a conviction that no drop of Rebel blood could be coolly, deliberAtely shed without eskentially clouding the prospeet of securing the Riglits of Suffrage tu the Blacks.Delyiog the madness of passion and the blindness of short-sighted misconception, it lus demanded Reconstruction on the basis vi Universal Amnesty with Empartial Suffrage, in perfect consciousness of the fact that it thereby alienated thousands who had been its zeulous supporters and life-long patrons, The hour ot its complete vindication cannot be far distant.Aa for thé man who is to be the chosen standard-bearer of the Republican host in the impeodiug contest, while we avow our deliberate preference of Chief Justice Chnse ns the ablest and most eminent of our living statesmen, Tuk TripuNk will render a hearty, cheerful, determined support to General Grant, or Senator Wade, or Speaker Colfux, should lie bo numiuated and supported on a platform which affirms and upholds the equal political as well as civil rights of ull citizens of the Republic.We do not contemplate as posible the support by Republieans of any candidate who does not stand on this platform.And we do not apprehend that tbe candidates who, in our approaching struggle, shall represent genuine Demucracy io opposition to the mennest phuse of Aristocracy enn be besten if proper means be wystematieslly taken, as they mnstand will be, to enlighten and arouse the American poople.We will thank such friends as believe that \u2018ue TrisoNg wlll prove an eflicient and cheap way to influence the undecided, to aid us in extending ita circulation.Though ours is eminently a political journal, but a small portiou of its apace is devoted to politics, while an outlay of more than $.00,000 per anpum is incurred in collecting uod transmitting news from ail parta of the world.We bave regular correspondents at nearly all the capitals of Europe, with a director at London, who is authorized to dispatel special correspondents to al) points where portant events may at any fime betrauspiringor imminent.The progress of the war in Crete, which is the grecusor of a still greater war, bus been watched by one of those special correspondents, while another telegraphs from Constantinople each novel phase of the critical diplomatie situation.Every step of Garibaldi\u2019a recent heroic though unforvmante enterprise, from ita inception to its close, was nowd by our correspondents, who are also lis most trusted advisers ; while un esteemed ember of our editorial staff has just necompanied tbe Embarsador of Juarez to Mexico to seen the Mexican problem closely onder auspices more favorable to the Republican chief thun those which have colored the advices of our regular correrpondents at Vera Cruz and the Capital.Another correspondent nccompnnied the first Natiouu) expedition to Alaska, Walrussia, or whatever our splinter of the North Pols may be called, and is now reporting on the aspects and capabilities of that chilly region Bayard \u2018Taylor is writing us in iis own vein from Central Europe ; while able correspondents report to us from Colorado, Idaho, Montana, &c., more copious than we can find room to publish.Our Reviews of Books and Literary Department «re in charge of one of the ripest American scholars ; while Agriculture, under a competent editor, claims a lending place in our Semi-Weekly and Weekly issues.Jn short, we have for years spent a large proportion of the income of our business tn efforts to render THR TRIBUNK 8 better and better newspaper ;

turn her back upon the review, and not be content until informed it was not a serious accident; to see the Queen, Prince and Princesses in turn ringing a blush into Prince Arthur's face by probable

belonging to Mr.Verret.There is no insurance whatever on the vehicles, and we understand none ou the building, which was owned by the trustees of the Jeffery Male Hospital.From the fact that & man was

case of the Queen against Francis Gilehen, took their seats a few minute?after the opening, and informed the Court that they had not agreed upon a verlict, and that it was impossible for them to agree.The presiding Judge, under these circumstances, ordered their discharge.The jury, no doubt, felt pleased to be released, as they had been confined since last Tuesday, which must have been trying to their health during the present hot season.Mr.O'Farrell said he was prepared to proceed with the trial on the same indictment this term.The case arainst the same prisoner, on an indictment for misdemeanor (unlawful wounding) and which had been continued from Fri- dny, was proceeded with.The facts elicited by the evidence in this case did not vary in any particular from the first trial, excepting the examination of an additional witness on the part of the Crown, and a statement made by the witness, James Daly, fpr the defence, that he would not have given Gilchen any assistance when he met him at the toll-gate.Both the prisoner\u2019s Counsel addressed the jury, as well as the Solicitor-General for the Crown, Mr.Justice Caron summed up at lenath in both langnages.He read to them the law as laid down by the most modern English an thorities, applicable to the question they had to decide.A VERDICT.The jury, after a deliberation of about one hour, returned into Court and gave a verdict of \u201cNot Guilty.\u201d Application was made for bail, but the decision was held over until this morning, to ascertain the conrse that will next be adopted by the Crown.\u2014 Chronicle.Tae Beavtirur.\u2014Perception of beauty is one of the most decided characteristics by which man is distinguished from the brute.We discover no symptoms of admiration in animals of n lower grade than ourselves.The peacock excites no deference from the splendour of his plumage, nor the swan from her snow-white feathers ; and the verdant fields, in their summer bloom, attract no more than as their flawery sweets allure the insect tribe, who\u2019 in their turn are followed by their foes.To man alone belongs the prerogative of appreciating beauty, because admiration is graciously designed as the means of leading him on to moral excellence, -\u2014 A New Way or SPENDING A HoL1DAY.\u2014An Eenglish papereays: \u2018\u2018 À gentleman last season took lodgings for the season on board the

tryimen of French origin lias been pretty gene trully celebratei chis yeur, though strong signs of fading enthusiasin and of disunton are saen- tioned as prevailing in several localities.The adoption of Saint Jeau Baptiste as a patron of Canada, originated in 1334, aud the late Mr.Ludger Davernay, the tounder ofv Lu Minerve, is generally considered ua one of the principal promoters or the ides, It wits mainly intended at first as a purely political movement, at a time when the agitation which culminated In the rebellions of 1737-8 was pervading all overthecountry.This is provet by the speeches, and songs, and display of tri-colored flags, which warked the firat two or three celebrations.The choice of the peculiar smint was not, as has been stated, the result of a religious weling or tendency.The clergy opposed nt much at the time, and at tirst refused to join in the celebration, maintaining that St.Joseph was the saiat adopled by the clergy as the spe- eial protector of Canada.The wloption ut the new patron was merely a protest agamnst the sneering appellation of Jean Baptiste, Ly which the French Canalinn habitant was usually designated by his tory adversaries, The tirst celebrations merely consisted in a public dinner, given for the first time in the orchard of Mr.John McDonnell, a gentleman then living in St.Antoine suburbs, and after wards the banquet took place in the old laser's Hotel.No processions or church cere monies then formed part of the festivity.The political troubles which tollowed, interrupted these national feasts, and the principal actors in them were dispersed and exiled for a num- Ler of years.It was only in 1811, aud in Quebec, if we remember right, that the idea of forming a regalar national benevolent society, calculated to mutually protect and enlighten its members, was renewed and promoted with much energy and vigor; but there alsothe cler- uv showed much reluctance and ill-will in tak- mg part in the organization, and could only be prevailed upon to celebrate mass on the 24th ot June tor the promotion of temperance, and 4 tri-colored flag wus refused admittance into the Cathedral.The popularity of the national idea, however, gradualiy prevailed ; the society extended to all parts oi the country, and be- cime an almost national institution.In the latter years, party divisions have found their way into the Society ; the elections were curried on upon party color and not upon personal worth alone ; the clergy, always opposed to independent associations, promoted the organi- zution ot smaller special societies of sepurate trades under the invocation of other saints, under their direct control or inspiration ; and thus the wty and generally national character of the St.Jean Baptiste Society was diminisb- ed, it not altogether destroyed.The exclusion of L'Institut Canadien from tie rurnks of the proce=sion for having refused Lo eliminate from its reading room, at the request of the clergy, the HMitness and other Protestant publications, deprived the Society of its most talented members, and reduced considerably the zeal of those who remained.We see by the French papers that disunion or indifference have made their way in Mont real, Sorel, and other localities, where the enthusiasm of former years has almost entirely dieappeared.At St.Hyacinthe much acrimouy against the clergy has been created by the acc of one of the professors of the college, who very nnbecomingly ordered the pupils\u2019 Lund to play und depart while Mr.Gi, C.Dessuulles was delivering a speech of congratulation.A SINGULAR STORY.[From the Mason County (Mich.) Record.) We have to record a very singular deliver ance of a girl three years old, to her purents, after being carried off\u2019 by a black Lear, amd a search of thirty-six hours through the frrest hy the excited parents.The facts, as near as we can gather them, are substantially as tollows : Mr.Henry Flynn lives 40 miles east of this place, at or near the logging camp of Mr.Lu.dington, and we believe has charge of oue ot the camps.He started one morning to take a horse to pasture, about two miles distant from the house, and as he was realy to start hig little girl appeared and eeemed very anxious to go with her father, who, in order to please the ride a short distance, perhaps 40 rods from the house, where he put her down and told her to run home, He noticed that the child was standing where be left her, and on looking Laek ufter going a little further gaw her playing in the sand.He soon passed ont of sight, and was gone about an hour, expecting of course that the child would return to the house after playing a few moments ; On returning home he made enquiry about the child of her mother, who said she hal not seen the child, and sapposel he had taken her along with him.On going to the spot where he ferr Ler, he saw huge bear tracks in the sand, and at once came to the conclusion that she had been carried off by the bear.The fainily immediately gave search through the forest, which was grown up almost to a jungle, rendering their search very slow.All day these anxious parents searched for some trace of their child, wor did they \"stop when darkness came on, but remained in the woods, calling the child by her name, and with aching hearts would listen with an almost breathless fear tn catch some sound by which they could discover their lost darling.Morning came and their search was fruitless.A couple of gentlemen.looking for land, came to the house, and, being informed of the cir- cumatance, immediately set out to lielp to find the child.No doubt existed as to the fate of the little one by all, and if they could only find where the Lear had despatched its victim they might then go home with the assurance that they were never to see their child again; but until some trace of her way found there was hope, The gentlemen allded to had wandered about and as they were passing a swampy spol, where the nndergrowth was very thick, they either called the child, or else were talking loud, when one of them heard the child's voice.He then called the child by name, and told her to come out of the bushes.She replied that the bear would not let her.The men then crept through the brush, and when near the spot where the child and bear were, they heard a splash in the water, which the child said was the bear.On going to her they found her standing on a log, extending about half way across the river.The bear had undertaken to cross the river on the log, and, being closely pursued, left the child and swam away.She liad received rome scratches about her face, arms, and legs, and her clothes were almost torn from lier, but the bear had not bitten her, onlythe marks of his teeth being found on her back, where, in taking hold of her clothes to carry her, he had taken the flesh al- 80, The little one saya the bear would put her down occasionally to rest, and would put his nose up to her face, when she would slap him, and then the bear would hang hia head by her aide and purr and rub against her like a cal.The men asked her if she was cool in the night, and she told them the old bear lay down beside her and put his \u201carms\u201d around her and kept her warm, though she did not like his long hair.She was taken home to her parents, who could hardly express their joy at her safety.The bear has been seen lurking about in the vicinity, it is supposed for the purpose of yet carrying off the child.The supposition is that it is a female bear, and having Jost her onbs, came across the child and adopted it.Steps are being taken to capture the Lear.JVoman is asserting her rights in France as well as in other countries.The ladies have appeared on the French Bourse in great numbers, and hny end sell stock with a vigor and carnestness completely unknown: to the less favored sex, child, put her upon the horse's back and let her AUSTRIA AND ROME.Considerable irritation Las been caused in Austria by the recent Papal allocution, but the chief effect has been apparently to embitter the minds of the people still more against the priestly rule.IL is said that the municipal council of Vienna is about to protest in the ost strenuous manner against the preteusion of the Papal Government Lo interfere.in the domestic legislation of an independent foreign power, and it is expected that a smmilar step will be taken throughout the country.The Austrian journals are unanimous in their con- demuation of the position taken up by the Pope, and some even go 50 fur as Lo yecum- mend that the Papal Nuncio should have his puesports gent to him.Baron Buest, however, has merely addressed a note to the Papal Gov- erument maintaining that the domestic affairs of the Austrian Empire are beyond the juris diction of the Court of Rome.The Austrian clergy are organizing an active opposition to the new laws altering the Concor- dut.The Prince Archbishop of Olmutz, Landgral von Furstenberg, has issued a circu lar to the clergy of his diocese, in which he instructs them us to the course they nre to pursue in the matter of civil marriages, and of the adnission of members, of other religions to the same privileges as those hitherto enjoyed by the Catholics.Those who contract marriages without the assistance of the church are to be regarded as.living in \u2018concubinage.\u2019 Again, if burial in a churchyard is claimed for a person not entitled to Christian Lurial\u2014excepting that part of the churchyard which is set aside fur such per- sous\u2014the priest shall refer the claimant to the ecclesiastical Jaw, lock up the churchyard, and take the key, If tiie gute of the churchyard is forcibly broken open, and the body | buriel, then the place shall be held to be desecrated, uo priest shall enter it until it is ag tin consecrated, and the clergy shall not accompany Catholie funeral processions on their way to the churchyard any further than the gate.FASCINATION OF SNAKES, When I was engaged as a surveyor, IT had frequent opportunities of seeing snakes, and a= [ stood one day very sluggishly leaning over a fence, I saw a large rattle-snuke in as pretty u coil as a painter could have desired.The only apparent living part of it was its head, which moved to and fro.My eyes fell upon it, and immediately [ lost power to move, | felt surprised\u2014dizzy\u2014and indifferent.How long 1 was so, I do not know, but my pressure against the fence caused u piece of the timber to full; the movement aroused me, and made my fascinating enemy glide off, Aud so I was saved, but the feeling of horror, sickness, and fainting that came over me, affects me even while 1 tell it.Another says Hs passing through Maryland with three otlids, when one was observed to stop behind without any assignable cause; his companions called him, but lie not moving, one returned and upbraided him with indifference of their compunionship: but not moving, he came up close to him, and taking him by the arm, pulled him towards him, saying ¢ Why do you linger, man\u201d He now observed his eyes were fixed, and directing his to the object of vision, saw an immense rattle-snake halt-bowing and halfcrawling towards him.His companion heard him ejacu- lute \u2018He will bite me! he will bite me! and replying with the jerk or pull he gave him, he said, \u2018Yes, he will bite you sure enough, if vou don\u2019t come away.\u201d The enchantment wus now at an end, and turning to his friend, he tell prostrate into his arms, was very faint and sick, and was long ere he recovered.\u201d \u2014Voles by a Traveller.PRECIOUS PEARLS.The Epoque, speaking of pearls and their value, says :\u2014\u201c\u2018 There are certain ones which have become historical from their great beauty or size.One from Panama, having the form of a pear, and as large as n pigeon\u2019s eg«, offered in 1579 to Philip H.of Spain, was valued at 100,000f.In 1805 a lady at Madrid possess ed an American pearl valued at 31,000 ducats (5f.each).Pope Leo X.paid a Venetian jeweller 350,000f.for one.Another pearl was purchased at Caljby the traveller Tavernier from the Shall of Pereia, it is said, for 4,500,- 000f.A Prince of Muscat possessed a pear), the great value of which consisted, not in its size, but in its being almost transparent, as the light could be seen through it; it only weighed 12 carats, but Le refused 100,000f.for it.The pearl in the crown of Rodolpho TI.was said to be as large as a pear.What kind of pear is not stated, nor the size of the oyster in which the gem was found.Tlie present Shah of Persia possesses 8 magnificent casket of pearls each as large as a nut.In the Exhibition of 1855 Queen Victoria exhibited seve: ral pearle of great beauty, and the Emperor also gent a collection of 408, each weighing from 13 to 14 grammes, of a perfect shape and the finest water.\u201d STRANGE OPTICAL DEFECTS.Among the most successful men of business in Buffalo is a gentleman who was entirely unable to read, and did not even know his letters until after he was twenty-one years of age.On first being sent to school as a boy, his teacher found it impossible to make the lad distingaish between À and B, flogged him over and over again in the good old style, and finally dismissed him as incorrigibly stupid.The boy in reality had abilities far above mediocrity, but found he could not learn to read; and driven to desperation by his teacher, rebelled against him, but determining that ii no scholar so far as \u2018 book learning\u2019 is concerned, he would not be left behind in other knowledge, behaved with due diligence and propriety in all that came within his power.It was not until he had attained his majority that, putting on a pair of spectacles from accidental curiosity, he discovered how the words and letters which always before presented to lis eyes the appearance of nothing ore than blurred, indistinct masses of a grayish color, looked separate and clear, and knew how it was that he had been flogged in childhood, and had never learned to read.THe availed himself\u201d of his new knowledge with characteris tic promptitude, NICKNAMES OF AMERICAN CITIES.\u2014TFrom early times the Americans have had nicknames for their chief cities.New York is called Gotham ; Boston, the Modern Athens\u2014though it is now oftener called by a name Dr.Holmes gave it, \u201cthe Hub\" (ie, \u2018of Creation\u2019) ; Philadelphia is the Quaker City ; Baltimore the Monumental City ; Cincinnati, the Queen City .New Orleans, the Crescent City ; Washington, the City of Magmficent Distances ; New Haven, the Elm City.The fashion is kept up with the new cities that are built in the West.Chicago is now called the Garden City ; Detroit, the City of the Straits ; Cleveland, the Forest City : Pittsburgh, the Smoky City ; Indianapolis, the Railroad City; St.Louis, the Mound City ; Keokuk, the Gate City ; Louisville, the Falls City ; Nashville, the City of Rocka ; Hannibal, the Bluff City ; Quincy, the Model City ; Alexandria, the Delta City.Druxk.\u2014Young man, did youn ever stop to think how terrible that word sounds?Did you ever think what misery and woe you brought upon your friends when you degraded your manhood by getting drunk ?Tt is a fearful thing to trample under foot the high claims that God and man have upon you.Drunk ! How it rings in the ear of a loving wife ! How it makes the heart of a fund mother bleed | How it crushes out the hopes of a father, and brings reproach and shame upon loving sisters.Drunk ! He is spending the means of support for liquor, while his family may be wanting for bread, his children suffering for clothing.Drunk ! His reputation is going, gone.His friends, one by one, are reluctantly Toaving him to his miserable fate.He goes down to his grave \u2018 unhonoured and unsung.\u201d Druuk } HOI WEATHER.Mr.John Attfeld, Professor of Practical Chemistry to the Pharranceutical Society, contributes the following seasonable directions :\u2014 In these hot days « cool apartment is a real luxury, à luxury 4o be bad far oftener than most people suppose possible.The secret con- eists, not in letting in cool air, for uaturally all do that whenever they have the chance, but in keeping out hot air.If the air outside a room or house be cooler than the air inside, let it in by all means; but if it be hotter, carefully keep it out.A staircase window left open during the night will often cool the passages of u houge, and the rooms too, if their dcors be not shut; but it must be closed at eight or nine o'clock in the morning; or, it ou the sunny side, at four or tive o'clock, and the blind drawn down.The mistake people generaily make is to throw open their windows at all hours of the day, no inatter whether the atmosphere outside Le cool or scorching.\u201c\u201c Let us have some air,\u201d they say, and in comes the treacherous breeze\u2014for even hot air is pleu- sant while it is gently blowing, taking away perspiration, and thereby cooling the skin; but the apartment is made warmer, instead of cooler, nil a8 Boon as they move out of the draught they find their room to be wore uncomfortable than before.Lebin cobl air, keep out hot; that is the only formula to insure the minimum of discomfort.Sitting rooms muy generally be kept cool during the whole day if the doors be only opened for ingress amd egress, and the windows be kept closed and shielded from direct sunshine by a blind.If the atmosphere of a room Le impure from any cause, let it be renewed, hot air is less injurious than bad air.1t a room Le smull in comparison with the num Ler of persons engaged in it, free ventilation becomes indispensable.In a cooking apartment the temperature will probably be Ingher than outside, hence the free admission even ol hot air will be desirable.If persons do not ob- jeet to sit in a direct draught of air, windows and doors may be opened, a breeze being more refreshing, even though, several degrees warmer, than still air; but under uearly all other circumstances rooms should be kept closed as much as possible till after sundown, or till the air outsile is cooler than that inside.Let in cool air, keep out hot.rer THE ROMAN CARDINALS BY ONE OF THEMSELVES.M.Erdan, the Italian correspondent of Le Temps, and an intimate friend of the late Cardinal Andrea, is said to possess several papers in the handwriting of the late cardinal.He com municated some of these notes to an advocate who has just published a work on the cardinal- Of the cardinals in general he says, \u2018 they are almost all black and absolutist in opinion.\u201d «+ Cardinal Reisach-\u2014in respect for the Jesuits lie is one of the blackest of all.Cardinal Bar- nabo\u2014Hus an eye to the Papacy, but will never succeed.Mattei\u2014Hard, hypocritical, and mediocre.Patrizzi\u2014In reality an arrant fool.Torsi\u2014Archbishop of Pien, essentialiy black, and a downright enemy of Italy.Pau.nebianco\u2014ls extremely anxious for the Papas ev: but Guidi, who is an abler man, has u better chance.There is reason to believe that the next Pope will be a monk\u2014Guidi the Du- minican, or Pannebianco the Cordelier.This Panuebianco is a Sicilian.He is a Sixtus Quintus.He keeps himeelf in the back ground, and in reserve.Of all the Sacred College he is the member whose secret intrigues require most watching.There are two men in the household who are indispensable to the Pope \u2014Mgr.Cenni, his trainbearer, and Filippani, alaic.Antonelli has always the same confessor as the Pope.IF the Pope changes he changes also.The present confessor (1866) is the Jesuit Father Mignardi ; à good man, cold, a censor of the prelutes, whose little scandals le ferrets ont in conjunction with Mgr.Cenni.The Pope listens to the gravest charges of immorality, requires to be told the minutest details, bnt never takes severe measures.There are at least twenty prelates whose lives are n scandal.In general, the clergy are more pure than is-believed.The prelates who give most scandal by their eccentric immoralitiea are three.The Pope is perfectly aware of this.\u201d There are thirty pages of notes in the same style, BOILING DOWN THE SHEEP.A visit, to the boiling-down establishment at Colbinnabin station is not without interest.When the sheep have been killed, skinnsd and cleaned, and the vat emptied and made ready, a number of hands are employed in chopping them into three or four pieces, and then throwing them into it.The vat is 11 feet high, and tapers from the top to the bottom.The taper ing does away with the necessity of employing any person to pack the sheep in the vat, as the pressure above always keeps the carcasses close together ; and as they fall to the bottom wien the stem is applied, room is left for the fat to swim on the top.Steam is conveyed from an engme of 40-horse power, which is in connection with the patent weol-scouring ma chine in the adjoining shed.The vat holds 200 wethers or 400 ewes, and 1,000 of those are stewed (for really that is the most expres sive term to apply to the process) in 48 hours.When the fat has been all extracted, it is allowed to flow out of the taps, so placed in the side of the vat as toallow nothing but fat to flow into large 500-gallon coolers.The gravy runs from a tap in the bottom of the vat into a reservoir prepared for it, andis afterwardsgiven as food to pigs, who luxuriate on what would he a great blessing for the poor in some of the large and populous cities in the old country.All'the bones and shreds of meat are drawn out and carted away to the same herd of unclean animals.Such is the power ofthe steam employed that the bones are made so soft as to break in pieces in the hand, the marrow being completely melted out of them.A number of coopers are employed making casks, which are afterwards filled froin the coolers, and then headed up and sent tothe train for conveyance to Melbourne.\u2014 Melbourne Argus.EFFECT OF EXPOSURE ON COAL.Professor Rockwell has called attention to the deterioration which coal suffers from exposure to the weather, and to the importance of keeping it as dry as possible.Anthracile suifers the least, bituminous the most, Ac: cording to the experiments of Grundmann, cou! exposed to the weather in heaps.lost during à period of nine months fifty percent.of its value as fuel, and about ns much asa gas-making material ; it undergoes a process of slow combnstion, taking up oxygen and giving off the volatile products of oxydn- tion\u2014air and moisture playing the principal part, and warmth promoting it; the valuable combustable ingredients are lost, and the in- jnrions ones, as sulphur, oxygen, and ash, are relatively increased.Coke from weathered coal is of inferior quality, losing its coherence.These facts have been generally understood for a long while, but the practice in some railway yards gives no heed to loss of the heating value which coal undergoes from exposure to the weather, It is found with no covering to shield it from the ram, wind, and snow, and its exposure and loss thereby seems to attract no attention from the very ¢ practical\u2019 men who have care of this department.Neither wood nor coal can bear long exposure to the elements without losing a large share of its real value as fuel.\u2014 American Raiiway Times.\u2014Mr.Batchelor, late page to Queen Victoria, expired at his residence at Windsor, a few weeks ago, in the eighty-third year of his age.Mr.Batchelor entered the royal household in the reign of George IIL, and was page of the backstairs to George IV, William IV., and her present Majesty.He rotired from the service on a pension in 1861.Her Majesty, during Mr.Batchelor\u2019a illness, sent from Balmoral repeated inquiries after his health, and most considerately called to see him on the day of her return fron Scotland, .Since his death her Majesty has most kindly sent her condolence to the widow, HOW TO KEEP HOUSES COOL, IN SHERIFF'S SALES or LANDS 1x i tion of this platform the Democrati DURING JULY, 1868, Nicholas Mabeox va.Joha Lomesuri Jean P.Voll, curater.\u2014A lot of land nae bands of uf Quebes, at the place called Canardiere 112 toot 1.Roch, 821 feet in depth, With barn thereon, Sold jn Sh front by »a the 13th July, st ten o'clock ia the forenoo, erif 4 office, Louis Garripy va.Jean Tanguay \u2014Int An on ia wish of Chateau Richer, 47 feat by 50 feet, aincement ivge.Qud.Another lut ut the acme place, g Tost Lith huilg.rd.Auother lot at the sue place of 47° fest ed 100 (eet, To be sold at the Chureh door of the same si à \u201c fg.15th July, at ten o'clock in the forenoon.PF Wh On the Philip J Drayton va.Charles P.Sisson ~1 sroucà in Upper Town of Quebec, Palace at A nine inches io front by 70 test, wilh & stone bogac son, For sale by F ) i .Quebec, Joly 13, 18\" of Mountain Hill CLARET WINE.100 PEwonns, five gallous, Chuu lean Margeuu, vintage 1864.For sale by À Quebro, Zuty 19, 1908, \"© MOUNTAIN.ss WESTP To CASES.HALIA HAMS, .For sale by : x : M, G.MOUNTAIN.Quebes, July 13, 1868, cod Lu produce à luxuriant growth of or Lesrdless Face, also à réceipt for ipples, Dlotches, Fruptivtir, éte., on the {charge by nddrexsing THUS, #.Catan No.1, Nicholas Street.red for years from Nervous Premature Decay, nod all the affects of youthful sud it, the rectpe and directions for mak- ginedy by which le was cured.Sufferers fect confidence, JUN B, OGDEN, Na.Please nddremr Rev, EDAVARD Eminent members 6f the medical profession When they elfect à permanent cure.Sold by every 1 most of the respectable stores throughout the respecting the eflicacy of McLean & Co's Olenm Kalamos ;\u2014Messrs.McLean & Co:\u2014Your Olewm-Kalumos has cured me of : my wrist\u2014an obstinate attack of Rhenmatism in my arm, and au aggravated and very distressing cough.L have THE QUEBEC GAZETTE, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1868.\u2014AT\u2014 PARKE'S STORES, LADY'S SIDE SADDLE, nearly new, A Geatleman\u2019s Huotlog Saddle, | A Sett of Waggon Haroegs, A light double-Seated Waggon, All to be sold cheap, Quebec, July 10, 1868.au te >| American Invoices==Disconnts, h, !
