Lyman AUbott writes to the Christian Union: Joseph Cook carries a railroad "Shakespeare," and prepares his quota­ tions for his unique lecture on the "Shakespeare Conscience," on the cars. He picks up everywhere; gathers every­ thing. But in private he bewails liis treacherous memory. I never knew a student yet who did not seem to grow in­ dignant with himself over the undue pro­ portion of all that he ever learned that he habitually forgot. Mr. Cook is no ex­ ception to the rule. Yet he marvelously preserves and utilizes the results of his readings. His methods are peculiar. I violate no confidence, and I may give aid to students, lay and clerical, if I report here these methods, as he told them to me. This preserving machinery consists of three pieces: 1. He always carries with him a cheap memorandum book. In this he jots down, wherever he happens to be, a thought, a sentence, a figure that strikes him. The book fills up quickly. Then a new one takes its place. He trusts his memory to serve as an index to suggest to him the date of the reading, the inci­ dent, or the thought there noted. 2. He also carries a package of com­ mercial note paper. Any extract in a l)ook not in his own library, any fact or figure wox*thy of more careful preserva­ tion, he notes on a half-sheet of paper. These are assorted according to a few large titles. The homogeneous ones are pinned together. As the pile increases tljey are sewed. " I am going to lecture to-night," said he to me, "on 'Ultimate AimmoBti:' "I oreS<Serpts on AmenBr--a lmhdredw more--and look over them this afternoon as a last preparation^ before I go t n the platform." This method gives him the full use of his resources on each subject in each lecture. 3. He has not the contempt of some would-be scholars for the newspapers; he reads and uses them. With a red crayon he marks whatever strikes him as suggestive; throws the paper into a cor­ ner. Mrs. Cook, who is a sort of private secretary to him, as many another wife of many another busy literary man, cuts out the marked articles and lays them close in an index scrap-book. When a large store has accumulated Mr. Cook truo about John Sherman mtrlguitig to be President of the Senate, that he might be Presldout ad interim. He has told me that he has never heaad the subject broached; that he would not accept tiio placo, aa ho prefer* to be what he is now--Chairman of the Sen­ ate Committee on Financo.

J To Gen. W. 8.*Hancock, New York: DEAR GF.NEUAL : I did not receive your most-in- terentitig letter of Dec. 28. from Caroudelet, Mo., till yesterday. I am very glad to have your views in extciU>o upon mbjecta of such vital importance. Our standard opinions are mostly formed on the prac­ tice ot our predocoKsoru; but a great change was made after the clone of the civil war by tho amend­ ments of the constitution giving to the freed slaves certain civil and political rights, and empowering Congress to make the laws nece.ssary to oninrro these rights. This power is new and uLaaJute, and Con­ gress has enacted laws with which wo aro not yet familiar and accustomed. [See pages 348, 349, aud 350, Revised Statutes, 1,989,* edition 1873-4.J As a matter 01 fact, I dis­ like to have our army used in them civil conflicts, but the President has the lawfnl fight to use tho ni-my and nary, andhss exercisod tho right, as he believes, lawfully and rightfully, aud our duty has lieen, and is, to sustain him with steal and sincerity. As to tho Presidential election, we aro in no manner required to take the least action, but to recognize him as President whom the lawfully-appointed of­ ficers declare to be Huch person. I hope ami pray that Congress will agree 011 soma metiUMl before the day and hour arrives; but, in CA3o of failure to elect by or before the 4th of March, there will be a vacancy in both the offices of President and Vico President, in which event the President of the Senate becomes President pro tempore, and a new election will have to be held under the law of 1792. [•tee'1 itlo III., Chap. I., pages 21, '22 and 23, Devised Statutes.] It is well we should compare notes and agree before thiH crisis is 011 us; but I surely hope we shall pass this ordeal safely and peacefully. I will be pleased to hear from you at any time. W. T. SHEUMAN. A BLANK.

Fly and Spider--the Tables Turned. An old Subscriber in Australia sends to the Gentleman's Magazine the fol­ lowing: "Australia is the land of con­ trariety in regard to animal and vegeta­ ble life--such as black swans, the duck- mole, fish which climb trees, cherries with the stone outside, and veritable wooden pears!--but one fact regarding spiders and flies is equally strange, for here there is a fly which catches spiders. He is a wiry, energetic, hard-looking cus­ tomer; body, longisli and narrow; color, literally half mourning, and about three- quarters of an inch long; he builds a clay nest for his larvsB, generally inside looks, under veranda heaves, or even in cracks of wood-work, and sometimes in tho folds of curtains or clothes. In one case, while staying at a friend's house about twenty miles from Sidney, I left my water-proof coat hanging untouched for about four days, and on taking it down there was a nest neatly built in one of the folds, of abont the size of one's little finger and three or four inches in length. On replacing the coat and leav­ ing it for another few days, and then ex­ amining it, the nest was finished; it had three compartments, with one little white grub in each, and for its food several small green spiders, not then absolutely i power of speech returned, and with it dead, but apparently in a state of coma, j her memory. The period of her mental of Life TkM Wera CM t Naught. , [From the Syracuse (N. Y.) Dispatch.} lii a plain but neat little story-and-a- half white house, 149 Town send street, lives a girl named Amelia Hosch, who passed her 26th birthday on the 15th of January last. The greater part of her life--fully fifteen years--has been a blank. Ia her childhood Amelia was considered an unusually bright girl. She early learned to read and writ* both English and German, and could play the piano with considerable skill. When between 10 and 11 years of age she was attacked with fever and ague. This soon developed into hysterical fits, and in a few weeks the girl lost her reason. Her power of speech left her, and her limbs refused to support her. She be­ came a helpless imbecile, and did not leave her bed except when lifted from it. From four to eight times a night and from two to six times a day she was seized with the most violent paroxysms. Many times it was thought she was drawing her last breath. Medicines of every kind were tried, but without ef­ fect. In March, 1879, Dr. A. H. Tankle visited the girl aud made a diagnosis of her case. He combined a preparation of his own with one obtained from a pro­ fessor in Columbia College, New York. The second night after Amelia began taking the preparation she slept all night, something she had not done be­ fore in fifteen years. She began to in­ crease in flesh, and in June uttered the first words that she had spoken since •he was first attacked. Gradually her I HEADQ'BS MILITARY DIVISION or TNE ATLANTIC,1 j • NEW 1877, ( Gin. W. T. Sherman, United States Artny, Washing­ ton, D. C. j GENERAL: An anonymous communication to tho I Secretary of War, dated Louisville, Ivy., One. 1(1, j 187<>, reached my liea;l<juartern on the 27th of that month from the offiee ol' the Adjs^&ufcUeneral of tho I army.

Tho indorf ement'ofl j this communication made at vour lieadouurter;<, dated Dec. 26, 1870, Is as followr: I (Official copy".) I " Respectfully referred to MuJ. Vjen. W. 8. Han­ cock, commanding Division of the Atlantic, who may draw a company from Gen. Kuger, command­ ing the Department of the SoutbfSmd post it at the Jetfersonvllle depot, with orders to protect it against any danger." The terms of tho indorsement Imply the eierciso of discretion on my part which leads me to wriht you before taking action. In my .judgment there is no danger of the kind the auonynious communica­ tion sets forth, or other kind, at the^effersonville de­ pot. to justify the movement of troops to that place. Such movement, it seems to mo, would involvo un­ necessary expense, and would create or increase aj>- prehension fi r which there is no real foundation. There are no arms or ammunition at Ute Jefferson- ville depot, and if such force as is referred to could be raised for rebellious purposes it is not lilcely These spiders were evidently taken out of the orange orchard, as^here were plenty of the same kind alive about the trees; but last week, while up in the mountains, I watched one of the flies carrying off a black house-spider quite as big as itself; and during the course of the day saw him three separate times, and 011 each occasion w ith a large spider. I could not find the nest; but tlie farmer tells me that he has occasionally done so, and found as many as twenty good-sized spiders of various kinds, all apparently dead, but not decayed, and generally five or six larvsa of the fly. "There is also a large spider which actually oatches small birds occasionally, and kills and devours them! Hois like a wasp in color; body, sliape and size of a small hazel-hut; legs, long and wiry; and he also looks like a hard-skinned customer. The web is always double, one about half as large again as the other, and made of such a strong yel­ lowish fiber that, if accidentally walking into it, yon feel a sensible stoppage of your way for tH§ moment. One bird-- the wreck of which I myself saw left in the web--was, rather smaller than the English wren, and the web was strong enough to stand all its struggles, although a little broken here and there. "As regards size of some spiders, we have a flat-bodied, gi'av-colored one here which builds no web, but lives under bark of dead trees, behind boards, etc., the body of which is about the size of a shilling and not much thicker, but the legs of which are quite as long as the lingers of an ordinary-sized hand, and the whole spread of the brute is about a hand's breadth. This is for the fullest- sized ones; but the common run of tliein aro five to six iuches across, aud the style in which they pounce upon and double up the smaller cockroaches is what our Yankee cousins would call 'a caution.'" v_.

She tells of what, she saw in her child­ hood, and sings the songs that she used to sing in heir Sunday-school. Although she has received no instruction since her recovery, she can read, write, figure and do everything that she did bSore she lost her reason. When asked about her illness she looks at the questioner in a wandering way--she knows nothing about it. She now weighs about 140 pounds--nearly twice as much as she did before she began taking the prepara­ tion. She is a strong, healthy-looking young woman. She articulates rather slowly, but her replies are prompt and correct. While talking with the corre­ spondent she said: "I know every­ thing I used to know." She likes to talk, and embraces every opportunity to converse that is offered. The case ex­ cites the wonder of the physicians, and a great many have called to see the girl. Observation. No line can be drawn between common knowledge of things and scientific knowl­ edge, not between common reasoning aud scientific reasoning. In strictness all ac­ curate knowledge is soience, and all exact reasoning is scientific reasoning. The method of observation and experiment in which such great results are obtained in science is identically the same as that which is employed by every one every day of his life, but refined and rendered preciBe. If a child acquires a new toy, lie observes its characters and experi­ ments upon its properties, and we are all constantly making observations and experiments upon one thing or another. But those who have never tried to ob­ serve accurately, will be surprised to find how difficult a business it is. There is not one person in a hundred who can de­ scribe the commonest occurrence with even an approach to accuracy.

Tho- coppice growths in Europeon forestry aro often utilized in periods of ten of- fifteen years; in our own country, too, We have many trees of short rotation, and some of the most useful and profi­ table trees are of this character. Dr. Wardner, of Ohio, in a paper on " For­ estry," sajs: The black locust may be harvested, after it has grown from twenty to thirty years. The eatalpa speciosa in the same- period will make good cross-ties and fence posts. The ailantus very soon attains a useful size, and for certain purposes has been highly commended both in this country and in Europe. Professor C. S. Sar­ gent is advising its extensive plantation, and some years ago it was spoken of as the most promising tree for the arid plains of the Southwest. The forest of Scotch pine in Germany are allowed sixty years to reach their useful size for fuel and for timbers. Tlie birch there reaches its maturity in about half a century. The willow used for charcoal needed in the manufacture of gunpowder may be cut after growing twenty years or even less. Chestnut, in its second growth, is most profitably cut every twenty or twenty- five yenrs. The beautiful wood of the wild cherry soon reaches a profitable size for many piuposes, though for saw logs and lum­ ber the tree should be larger. actually observe, but which he micon- * sciously - infers must have happened, f tO it M'l'kl ^ When two truthful witnesses contradict 1 1 ™ J* " j ^w^another iu a court of justice, itusually " --' - 1 • turns olit that one *>r the other, or some­ times both, are coAfoundihg thoi«^nfer- ences from what they saw with tlikp which they actually saw.

The Young Man that Wins. A certain brutality of manners, adopted from the English, is affected by _ „ some of OUl* young men. They answer somewhat diecretionary with me. I re harshly, affect not to see a lady to whom i em,Jer' they owe civilities, and try to become boors, even if they are not. This style is seen much in men of mixed blood, per­ haps the half Germans, half French, half j English. It is a very poor style and be­ trays the snob. It is not a common American fault, still it exists. It should lie frowned down; it is the fault of medi­ ocre men. But, as Houssaye says: "Young men are moderate nowadays, even in their follies. They are afruid of excess; they cut grooves for their voices to run in. They are bourgeois, who carefully avoid fatiguing, much more ex­ posing themselves." Haussaye does not believe, evidently, that there are Sir Philip Sidneys, "admirable Criclitons," in these days, but he is wrong. A ship­ wreck, a battle-field, a field day in Wall street, brings them to the front. Men are as noble as ever; there are as many heroes. Tlie occasion finds them, and in every office, every merchant's count­ ing-room, in all the walks of the profes­ sions are the silent heroes. What a hero is the young doctor who works day and night succoring the wounded, helping the sick, tending the dying! What a hero the young soldier who has first thor­ oughly conquered himself! What a hero is the young bunk clerk, preserving his honesty while there is temptation all around him! What a hero the young man doing honest work auywhere! He shames the pouncet-box hero; he is the Hotspur of the field of honor. Women love these heroes. They are the men to marry. The other kind" do very well for the leadership of the German, but the true women do not care for tliem. One real man entering a drawing-room with his record of work behind him will scare away the fops as ghosts retire at cock­ crow.--American Queen. She Heard the Roman Empire Fall. The Demopolis (Ala.) News tells the following story: "Our census enumer­ ator reports a colored woman on Maitin Bice's place 114 years old. Seeing that the old woman was proud of her age and her recollections of antiquity, lie asked her some questions touching Gen. Washington's horse and the Revo­ lutionary war, all of which being satis­ factorily answered, he said : ' Old lady, you must have heard the Roman em­ pire when it fell?' 'I don't sackly 'member de circumstance you spoke of now, but I heard a mighty rumblin' noise de year de stars fell, and I spec it must a ljecn dat. Things was constant fallin' dat year, and if it fell in old North Carolina you bet your bottom rag, honey, I was dar.' " folks when so much must be " allowed for shrinkage." Cultivate this habit of telling the truth in little things as well as iu great ones. Pick your words wisely, and uso only such as rightly mean what you wish to say. Never stretch a story or fact to make it seem bigger or funnier. Do this, and people will learn to trust you and respect you. This will be better than having a name for telling wonderful stories or making foolishly or falsely "tunny" remarks. There are enough true funny things happening iu the what they see with that which they act­ ually see' in the most wonderful way, and even experienced and careful observers are in constant danger of falling into the same error. Scientific observation is such as is at once full, precise and free from unconscious inference.--Professor Huxley. NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 1877. Gen. W. T.

I wished to n' tice simply your reference t/> the Revised Statutes and one or two other points in a brief way. I will do so yet, but not to-day, as I am house-hunting, or apartment or hotel-hunting, rather. It is too late iu the season to accomplish much here iu that way, save to pay out money and get but little satisfaction tn retur:i. The proposition for a joint committee insure* a peaceful solution of the Presidential question, if«it liec ines a law, aud, in my opinion, gives to Gen. Hayes chance* he did not have before. I have considered that Mr. Tilden's chances were impregnable. Not so Mr. Hendricks. Now it Keeins to me that Gov. Hayes has something more than an equal c!>«nce, but definite results cannot be foreshadowed. Fortunately, trouble need not be provide d against by the use of the army, should the bill become a law. If the bill passes^ and Gen. Grant vetoes it, Mr. Tilden's chance," wi!i Ix? stronger than lwfore; certainly if he and his friends Biipjjorted the measure, public opinion will strengthen his po­ sition. Deceived by Appearances. A Hartford jeweler directed the atten­ tion of a friend to a rough appearing old farmer sauntering down the street, and u remarked, "I've been worse sold on that world, and they are most entertaining j man than on any other in my whole busi- when told just exactly as they come to j nesslife." The man, fully three score pass. One has well said: " Never de­ ceive for the sake of a foolish jest, or to excite the laughter of a few companions at the expense of a friend." Dear young friends, be true. Do tho truth. Tell the truth. There are many false tongues. Let yours speak tho things that are pure, lovely, true. A Tame Eagle that Worries Dogs. Some tliree months ago, while hunting in the mountains east of the Twelve-mile House, Mr. Buffington captured a young American eagle. At the time the bird was quite small and from appearances but a few weeks old. Mr. Buffington has his pet confined in the yard back of his shop, and the many and curious monkeyshines indulged in by tlie moun­ tain bird are really amusing. Measuring some eight feet from tip to tip and weighing forty pounds, with talons three inches in length, there is but small chance for any dogs residing in the neighborhood. For as sure as a canine makes his appearance, the eagle spreads his heavy wings, and with a loud scream he lights upon the back of his terror- stricken dog. The scene that follows is one of great interest. The dog, without further notice, darts through the side gate and out into the street, with the eagle attached to his back, and that too iu a manner to stay. Down the street he goes 1 years and ten, wore shabby pantaloons, 1 rough cow hide boots innocent of the I slightest trace of blacking, a vest soiled in | front and with the back partly in tatters; , was in his shirt sleeves, without collar, ! and his head covered by a tile fashionable j many years ago. "That was about his j style," continued the merchant, "when * he dropped in at my store one day during ' the war, and said he wanted to buy a [ watch. Judging from his appearance • that he meant sometime in the future, j after the scarecrow season was over, and | that he had drawn his money, I didn't bustle around very lively to make a trade. I thought a $10 silver watch would about close out liis pile, and shoved one across the to counter him. He merely glanced at it, and quitly asked, 'Don't you keep anything better ?" This nettled me. and for a bluff I hauled out an American watch, one of the costliest we liatl in the store* worth $175 in gold, and gold was worth about 200 then. He examined it carefully, asked its price, and then to my amazement said, 4 That'll do." He dived down iuto his pantaloons pocket and af­ ter fishing out of the way a roll of green­ backs as big as your hat he hauled up a purse of gold, counted out the $175, shoved the watch into his vest poeket and walked out. You may imagine that this excited my curiosity, and after a while I ascertained who my strange customer was. He lived a few miles down the What to Say.

I We leam that an Itidian professor has ; recently made some very agreeable med- i icinal researches resulting in the discov- , ery that vegetable perfume exercises a j positively lieatliful influence on the at- | mospliere, converting its oxygen into j ozone, and tliurf increasing its oxidizing I influence. The essences found to develop J the largest quantity of ozone are those of, I cherry, laurel, clover, lavender, mint, I juniper, lemon, fennel and' bergamotj j those that give it in smaller quantity are I anise, nutmeg and thyme. The flowers J of the narcissus, hyacinth, mignonette, | hcliotuop^and liHy of the valley develop | ozone in closed vessels. Flowers^flestj*- j tnte of perfume do not develop it, and those which have but slight perfume de­ velop it in small quantities. Reasoning from these facts, the professor recom­ mends tlie cultivation of flowers in marshy districts and in all places infected with animal emanations 011 account of the powerful oxidizing influence of ozone. Land in London. The value of land in London is illus­ trated by two recent sales. At the auc­ tion mart, Tokenliouse yard, Messrs. Edwin, Fox & Bousfield sold, by direc­ tion of the First Commissioner of her Majesty's works, premises in Seething lane, Tower street, at £4 17s. 4d. per square foot, or at the rate of £211,992 per acre. They also sold, by direction of the Court of Chancery, ten freehold houses in Ely place, Holborn, occupying together about 13,412 feet, all with va­ cant possession, the leases granted ninety-nine years ago having expired. The total amount of sale was £34,570, being at the rate of £2 lis. 6d. per square foot, equal to £112,167 per acre. --New York Sun. ;afc- THE MARKETS. at break-neck speed. At a distance of j river and was worth enough to have about two blocks the eagle bids the dog an affectionate adieu and quietly returns, as though nothing had happened. The same experiment is gone through with whenever the dog can be procured. It does not seem necessary to remark that dogs of auy description are seldom seen in that part of the town, and the same dog never more than once. It would lx> a blessing to our city if we had one such bird on each block. It would save our pound-muster much unnecessary trouble. --Situ Jose Mercuri/. MRS. Gov. LEW.

An instance of the readiness with which human bones disappear is shown in the fact that the Dutch Government in 1853 drained off the great Haarlem lake, 011 which there had been many shipwrecks and naval fights, aud where thousands had found a watery grave. The canals and trenches dug to a con­ siderable depth through the rescued land are estimated to have an aggregate length of thousands of miles, and yet not a single human bone was exhumed from first to last. Some weapons and a few coins, and one or two wrecked ves­ sels alone rewarded the efforts and re­ searches of the curiosity-hunters.
