Fonneoa, one of the old residents of hhin city, informs thy Sun than the carer- piilarn were observed in Immense numbers in 1867, when their vomoity wusnoc satisfied Wuh tniuLIes only, and they considerably damaged all kinds of vegetables. He mya they never appeared before or since unnil this yeahâ€"Winnipeg Sun. The process is so exceedmgly simple that any boy of fourteen 02m do all the. work just as well as an expert photo-ll-hographer could do it, Mr. Rumedell hue filed an application for letters patent, and ham organizeda company of wealthv Atlanta. eeptteliete to push the introduction of the invention; Sewerul pictures that were made by what is known as the “ artotype proeem " were eubmquently reproduced by Mr. Remedell With eueh humans that a competent judge could not tell the original from the copy. As the oraainel is not in any way 1njured by Mr. Remedell‘e method, it Will be possible by this process to accurately reproduce any of the are engrevmge and etchings that are now- u-deyeeo highly prized by collectors, and people of moderate means as well as the wealthy will be able to purchase Hey- den’e end \Vhistlers without parting with their "bottom dollar.” Ax other great ad- vantage claimed by the inventor is that he can make zinc and other metal plates of vari0u~ kinds and be ready to print from them as quickly as from the stone. This will‘be much cheaper than to use litho- graphmg stone, which is expensive. After the zinc and metal plates have been ueefi they can be cleaueed in a chemical bath and be used again any number of times. Fec-similee of an entire newspaper can be made in ten minutes, While the most deli- cate work. as well as the coarsest, will be reproduced with equal fidelity. No one can tell exactly when the E: glish tongue became the national language of the Scottish Lowlands. It was in use in Lothian from the sixth century ; it cer- tainly spread into Srrathclyde as early as the eighth, but in all likelihood did not wholly supersede the native Gymric before the grqu-h of toms in the tWelfth century. The reign of Malcolm Oeannmnr saw it introduced at the Scottish Court, but there is no reason to Suppose that the influence of Margaret reached farther than the circle of her home and her personal friends. Outside of these Gatehc alone would be used both by her husband and his thanes ; but the disposition to acquire a knowledge of the favored province of Lothian would grow stronger from year to year, although it might perhaps sustain e. temporary check by the coun- ter current of Norman French which began to flow into Scotland from the time of Dawd I. The Scotti-Norman nobles used French probably as long as their neighbors in England Ai. e., till the middle of the fourteenth century. At the corona- tion of Alexander III. Latin forms were translated into French for the monarch's benefit ; but the very necessities of their position would make it a matter of im- portance, to both the king and the foreign nobles,to acquire some familiarity with the Vernaculars of the different parts of the kingdom. The growth of hurghs and the increase of trade, through the influence of English and other Teutonic settlers, must have silently extended the area over which the English tongue was spoken. Though we have no data by which we can trace its progress from the eixth to the fourteenth century, when it first appears as a literary languge, we may safely believe that during these eight hundred years it made con- tinuous advances in the Lowland districts, and passed through the same phases of change which marked its history in the southern part of the isle.â€"JohnM.Ross, LL.D. 1.

In the presence of a small company of journalists, especially invited to test the invention, Mr. Remsdell exhibited the entire process which he has perfected. A fine steel engraving. the frown-piece in one of the leading magazines, was selected as the picture to be reproduced.

Murphy, 9. lzvmg in Wood- uinol’iace, Penge, was charged at Lambeth l’ulice Court on Saturday With being con- cerned With George Steeden, aged 9 (now under remand). living in Maple Road, Henge, in assaulting a child named Henry Douglas, about 3 years and a half old. by putting him into a dust-bin at Laurel Grove, Penge, thereby endangering his life. There was a further charge against the prisoners with setting fire to the house, 4 Limetree avenue, an unoccupied dwelling house. and doing damage to the extent of between £2 and £3. According to the eVidence, it appeared that the prisoners got hold of the child Douglas (a very intelligent livtle fellow), took him to the garden of an unoccupied house. and there put him in a dustbin Which was some four or five feet deep. They closed the lid upon the child, threw bricks upon him, and secured the lid of the dust-bin so as to prevent his getting out. That was about 5 o’clock in the even- ing, and it was not until 1 o‘clock on the following day that the poor child was found, and this in consequence of a. third boy having heard what the prisoners had done, and giving information to the friends. Steeden, in imparting the secret to the th.rd boy, said it was their intention to keep the child in the dust bin until he was dead, and then they would get a reward for the recowry of the body. It was shown that the child had been imprisoned in the duet-bin for upwards of 20 hours, and had been Without feed or drink for quite 24 hours. Detectzve Blackwell made in- quiries, and traced the prisoners, who did not (1:;in the charge. It was afterwards atcertained that they had gone together to an unoccupied house, No. 4 Limetree avenue, and having effected an entrance, collected a heap of paper and rubbish on the floor of the kitchen and poured on some paraffin Oil, and then set a light to it. Fortunately, shortly afterwards the fire was discovered by a lady living next door, and assistance being called the fire was sub- dued. Some £2 or £3 damage was done by the fire. Both prisoners, when questioned by the magistrate, put the blame upon each other. Mr. Chance said he could scarcely 1 believe children like the prisoners acting in so shocking a manner. It was really extra- ordinary that the little child. Douglass had escaped death, or certainly some injury. He was only too glad to find the child was so well after his imprisonment in the dust- bin for nearly 20 hours. He remanded the case in order that further inquiries might be made by the police ; in the meantime the prisoners were sent to the workhouse. 7 ’l‘r‘xr. lflnnc C Ilicigugx a!

The collection as it now exists owes its preservation to the wisdom of the late Prince Consort, who, seeing these priceless historical treasures scattered about on the walls of the different palaces, exposed to every kind of danger from damp, sunlight or neglect, brought them all together and deposited them in the royal library, where both he and the Queen took the keenest delight in arranging them in due order in the drawers of a Cabinet specially con- structed for their reception in the room where the other principal treasures of art are stored. Ous peculiar interest therefore of this collection lies in the fact that in near ly eVery case these miniatures remain in the custody of the descendants of these for whom they were originally painted, and in its thus presenting an almost unbroken series of authentic portraits of the royal family from the time of Henry VIII. to the present day. for though photography has almost entirely obliterated and de- stroyed the art, and few now practice it, yet the Queen still remains its constant patron, and year by year portraits of mem bers of the royal family and others of note and renown are added in their places to continue the long and storied line. 0! the great nature and scope of the col- lection it may be noticed that naturally its chief importance consists in its series of English royal portraits. This is ad mirably supplemented by a large and increasing series of foreign sovereigns, after whom we find the nobles and famous men and women of this country and 01 others arranged in classes and according to dates. The number amounts to very nearly 1,000 and the whole collection forms one of the greatest as well as one of the most interesting of the treasures belong- ing to the Crown.

It’s a ntrange story.

When the war broke out I was a young man living on a farm down in York State. My wife was a school teacher in the neigh- hood, and we became engaged alter a few months’ courtship, but the little Woman wouldn’t hear of an early marriage, plaud- ing tor ayear in which to makeiher prepara- tions.

Our separation was not painful, as neither of us anticipated the troubled times that were to follow.

Writing from Laggan, summit of the Rockies, recently, a correspondent says: 115 ° W. longitude and 52° N. latitude was reached by the Canada PttOlfiORiiiway about the 15th of August last year. It is situated between the Bow and Elbow RiVers, is 3,100 feet above the sea and 840 miles west of Winnipeg. Thirty-five miles further west is MorleyVille, a. village i picturesquer situated, and containing 200 ‘ souls, halt whites and half Indians. This little Village is siiuaied on the SIDE) lumen Reserve. The Stony Indians are so industrious that the Government has stoyped supporting themI which it has not been able to do With any other tribe. Sixty miles west of Calgary is “ the gorge,” or entrance to the Rocky Mountains; this place is 4 300 feet itbOVe the sea. Pndmore, which is the end of a division and is located in the Park‘s. charming spotâ€"is sixteen miles from the “ Gorge.” Laggan (this place), at the summitof the Rockies, and boundary of British Columbia, is 120 miles wast of Calgary. and has an elevaiion of 5,300 feet. The C. P. R. track sicpped here last fall. after having been laid 320 miles in Seven months (from Swift Current to the summit) and 1s iiuW five miles farther. Here the Bow River, which the track has followed from Calgary. has its source, and flows eastward. Near here also the Kicking Horse rises and flows southwest into the Columbia River sixty miles from here, The Raking Horse Pass extends from the “ Summit” to the Columbia flats. The grading of the line through this Pass is now being actively carried on, and the rails will probably be laid over the first crossing of the Columbia River are this year closes. The House Pass, so much talked of last year, starts from this place, runs northwest for nearly ahundred miles, then turns suddenly to southwest along Blackbery Creek, which empties into the Columbia. a little below the Kicking Horse River. The House Puss was finally abandoned in favor of the Kick- ing Horse Pass, on account of its much greater-l ength (being 200 miles, against 60 of the Kicking Horse), aiso because it would ‘ require a number of very sharp curves. and fourteen miles of 2 40 gradient. The first crossing of the Columbia is 2,300 feet above sea-level. After crossing the line it will run down the west side of the river about forty miles, then turn and run south- westerly for sixty-five miles down Moberly Creek, wht’re it crosses the Columbia the second tiff), at an elevation of 1,493 feet. Br you these two crossings is theiS:1~m..;.;v, on which the summit of the track Will he 4,300 feet from the sea. By crossing the Selkirk Range 140 miles are saved, as it is over two hundred miles around by the Colum- bia River. The Eagle Pass will then take the line through the Gold Range, again raising its elevation, this time to 1800 feet. Then it will cross the lower part oi Valley Lake and run down along the shores of Thomson River to Kamloops 124° w. longitude and 51° n. latitude. At Kamloops, this branch of the C. P. R. Will join the western branch (being built by Ouderdonk), making ihe line complete from the Pacific to Winnipeg, or may be to Montreal by that time. The distance from here to Knmloops is 270 miles by the route to be taken by the C. P. R. The elevations given, of course, refer to the height of the track above the sea. The mountains on each side of the track rise from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above the track. It is true, my son, a man may smile and smile and be avulain. Butit is equally true that a man may never smile anu also be a Villain of the inkiest hue. I know it is quite the thing With a certain class of peo- yle to dacry the smiling man who is so monotonouely pleasant that he is some- times offeuniVoly unpleasant. I know that some people bid you beware of the man who is always smiling. But you should also beware of the man who always greens you With a glare. If I am to be beguiled by a Villitln I think I rather prefer the smiling Villain. He Will swmdle me ouurteously, anyhow. I do not admire saturnine coun- tenanoes even on good men. I do not enjoy any real pleasure in contemplating the bird of prey visages; the hungry glare of the Village horse trader, for instance,never im- proves my appetite. I do not think there is good reason for feariugthe man that smiles in all sorts of human weather. I do not al- ways believe in his smile. There are times when he bores me beyond measure Sometimes his set, unvarying smile weariee me as does the unwinking sun in the dead, oloudleee calm of successive August days, and I want to quarrel With him and try to make him cloud up and thunder alittle, or at least strike out a show of heat lightning. I don’t believe his smile is eternally a refirx of his feel- ings. He must feel blue and dismal, and troubled and (mated, and penitent anu doubtful, and anxious and longing and sorrowful at times like the rest of us. But it he chooses to veil all his troubles behind a smile that is so set it betrays the mask and weariee us, why that is his way of trying to keep his little light shining in this troubled world, my son. It doesn’t prove that he is a villain. All men who smile and smile are not villains, nor are all men who look solemn good men. When you hear a man saying, " Look out for the man who always smiles,” that is the man. my son, who Wlll rehypothecate your eol- Iaterals. - Bob Burdettc in the Brooklyn Eagle.

Happening to sit very near him at a dinner party, I had a good opportunity of examining his appear- ance closely and of making mental notes of his conversation. I had heard him called ‘ 'a sloven," but it struck me that he was even scrupulously heat, from the arrange- ment of his already thinned looks to that of the small bouquet in his buttton-hole, and during the years that I had the good fortune of seeing him from time to time the same care was always apparent. The most noticeable point about Mr. Gladetone’s physique is his Immense head, the extreme development of the superoiliary ridge giving his dark eyes doubly the appearance of being deeply set. I had seen many photographs of the statesman. in all of which the likeness was striking, but all of which more or less exaggerated peculiarities and gave the impression of a remarkably plain. almost a repulsive perâ€" son, whereas at the period to which I refer he was really a handsome man; the women all thought so, and with their hero-worship there mingled a. good deal 01 personal admiration.

The Prairie‘Farmer finds in Le Fermi” a French agricultural paper, a. description of anew process tor making bread which has proved successful in one of the lurgest bakeries of Paris. It consists simply in dissolVing a. certain quantity or glucose in the warm Water with which the dough is mixed. The dough rises rapidly and makes a. very light and palatable bread. The theory of this proceeding is explained as follows: " In the ordinary process the stnrch of the flour is changed to dextrine, then the dextrine is converted to glucose. which is decomposed, evolving carbonic acid, which causes the dough to ride. Thus iermentntion eliminates the starch of the flour and diminishes the quantity of bread. The new process avoide tnie destruc- tion of starch. The glucose combines With the yeast, and in converted into carbonic acid, which raises the dough. There is thus obtained, with economy of time and labor, a. bread which is more abundant, more nutritious, and of better quality.” Our contemporary adds : “ This is an excellent recipe, which we hope will be propegeted in our rural and agricultural households.” The proportion of glucose to be used is not stated, and can only be determined by experiment. Glucose in its solid and liquid toxins is about one-half its sweet as cane sugar or molasses, conse- quently ulstger quantity of the former could be used than of the letter without imparting excessive sweetness to the bread. An Insane Engineer 'l‘n'l'lflcs llis Pne- sensors. James Street, Whose residence is 02 Sanderson avenue, was until last Thursdni locomotive engineer on the Lehigh dz Surquehanna Division of the Philadelphia. & Reading Railroad Company. For many years he was in the employ of. the New Jersey Central Railroad Company. He ran the fastest train on the road, and Was considered to be one of its very best engi- ueers. He had always been exceedingly careful, and accidents to his train were uncommon. For several months past Street is said to have had his mind on some sort of an invention pertaining to railroading, and it is supposed that he has lost his mental equilibrium in consequence. Last Thursday he started from Easton for Green Ridge with his passenger train. .119 (an it as carefully as usual until he approached the Mauch Chunk station. than he put on a. full head of steam and shot past the station at a frightful rate of speed, rounding the sharp curves, and scoring the passengers. A number of per sons who had bought tickets for Munch Chunk were on the train, and on the Station platform stood a score or more of people who desired to take the train for the north. They were almost dumbfounded to see the train fly past the station. Its speed seemed to increase as the distance between it and the station increased. The waiting pas- sengers had never Witnessed such asight be- loreasthey wonderedatthcpeculiarity ofthe eXperience, while the people on the train behind the insane engineer became more and more frightened as they flew over the iron highway. Among the watchers on the platform of the Mauch Chunk station was the local Superintendent of the railroad. Lie surmised that something was wrong with Engineer Street, for he had never known that hitherto faithful employee to disobey any rule of the road. After the train had gone a mile or two past Munch Chunk the conductor pulled the bell cord ‘ and stopped the train. Then he went to the engine and saw that Engineer Street‘s eyes looked wild,_and that he appeared to be nervous and excitable. He took parti cular care not to say or do anything that would annoy him, and he was care- ful not to let Mr. Street think he suspected his action in run- ning past the station was induced by insanity. Neither did he reproach him for what he had done, but in a quiet and gentle way ordered him to back up to the Munch Chunk station. The train had been run over bridges and around sharp curves at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and the cars had swayed so much from one side to the other or the track that women and children passengers were pale with flight. Engineer Street obeyed the command and backed the train down to Maucb Chunk. I. was found that the boiler was nearly dry, and the wonder was that it did not e;- piode. Zine Superintendent had Street taken to the police station, and placed an- other mnn on his engine. Street was not at all pleased at the change which had taken place in such 8. brief space, and he most strenuously objected to being forced to leave his train and be thrust in aprison oell.â€"Scranton (Palm) Republican. For the third time a new head has just been placed upon the serving of Major John Andre in the beautitul fresco upon his tomb in Westminster Atbey. Exactly six cases of esenlege have occurred at this tomb. The heads of George Washington and of Major Andre, both being prominent in the fresco, have been three times stolen respectively. Americans are fond of taking home samples of what they see in the “ old country," end the tomb of this unfortunate English gentleman has, it is supposed, especially suffered in this way. The last theft of Major Andre's head occurred during an organ recital by Dr. Bridge, and the head has been cleverly replaced by a. new carving during the past week. Major Andre Wes an sdjutunt-general in the British army, and was taken in disguise on his return from a. secret expedition to the traitoroun American general, Arnold. Sep- tember 23rd, 1780.

Its Track From the Far East to the Pacific Coast. There have been various epoch in the history of the world when the earth has Dean girdled by the march ofa terrible ,: amt. l‘uking its free i‘l he far mast. li- ns, .5, hula and but»qu muloflv’u. swept .nrough Asia, dtclmatiug its population by thousands; attached Europe, hestowmg its attentions chiefly upon the Mediterra- nean countries; entered England, destroying thousands or the inhabitantsot her metropo- lis; crossed the Atlantic and invaded America, tarrying long in her chief cities and finally disappearing as mysteriously as it came. From the circumstance that this terrible plague has invariably first appeared among the Mussulmans of the lat east, it has obtained the name of Asiatic cholera. Invariably its source :ras been traced to the gatherings of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims at Mecca, Where, huddled in squalor, deprived «J1 wholesome food, breathing the nois- noine air and drinking the pestilential Water, both 18ich with the tinauations from the putrefying carcasses of thousands of beasts, slain as sacrificial offerings, they , have courted the coming 0! the plague and icecome its easy prey. A foothold once gained upon the earth, the cholera has stalked iorth, walking in darkness and wasting at noonday, seeing thousands of Victims. Its course no one can explain. Westward it always takes its way. Quarantines and cordous hate been as powerless to stay its course as they would Us to check the chill east wind. It takes its psrtiuacious march against gales of wind and monsoons, up and down the cache of unnavigable rivers, and attacks passengers upon ships in and ocean. Some- times it follows the great routes of travel ; sometimes it goes ny circuitous courses ; sometimes it passes over one large city lying directly in its course from one city to another. In short, no one can tell of its deVious ways, its comings and its goings, save that it invariably travels westward. It attacks alke the countriesoi the regions or the north and of the tropics. It selects no especial season of the year for its visits, but continues its grim march, through heat and through cold, until its strength is lost upon the Pacific shores. For many years the periodical Visits of the dreaded disease have been separated by intervals of twelve years. The last occasion, hOWever, in which the scourge made its appearance was in the year 1865, when the city of Boston was visited, and, al- though the pupulatlon was not decimated as the cities or the east, still not a few of the citizens fell Victims to its ravages. Several months ago intelligence came from the cast that once more the dreaded disease had made its appearance, after an inter- rcgnum this time considerably longer than those in the past. At first but little notice was taken of the announcement, and, it was not until the disease had crept slowly, but surely, to the Mediterranean coast and the shore ct France, that the people of our country commenced to awaken to the stern fact that once more we are liable to receive an unwelcome visit from the terrible scourge.
