Uabor for the overthrow of organized fanaticism, corruption and folly. Act, act, for the sake of-ptace, Unio», freedom aqd humanity. n Miscellaneous Items. -It was said that Mr. George Peabody, the American philanthropist, now on a visit to Roirie, had given £200,00 to the Pope. Instead he gave £4O to a hospital for children, of which the Popo is a Pastor, and which is freely open to all classes. -Horace Greeley, editor; Ulysses S. Grant, mute; James Brooks, statesmen; and Charles S. Spencer, lawyer, were the names given by a party arrested for gambling on Saturday evening last, at 25th street and 4th avenue, N. Y. -The grain trade of New Orleans is asserted to be increasing rapidly. Two vesels have recently cleared from that port for Liverpool, ope with 13,000, and the other with 23,000 bushels of wheat. This is about the first material evidence of prosperity in that region since the war. -California journals call loudly for the establishment pf more paper mills in the interior of that state. They say that manufacture will pay better just now than almost any other, especially if managed by Eastern men. -At a sale ofengravings in London, last month, a magnificent impression of Rembrandt's etching, “Christ Healing the Sick in the j Temple,” known to connoiseurs as the '.‘Hundred Guilder Piece,” was purchased for the enormous sum of £l,lOO, or 85,500 in gold. It is probably the finest impression : extant. We could go on and cite thousands of examples of old men who commenced a new study and struck out into an entirely new pursuit, either of livelihood or amusement, at an advanced age. But every ; ? one familiar with the biography of I distinguished men ; will recollect individual case enongh to convince him that none but the nick and indolent will say, 1 am to too old to study. -The Philadelphia Bulletin, ' which is printed upon paper made I of wood, states that in the port : races upon the Stcb.vlkill, on Thurs- ■ «* s Hlay, some of the skiffs used were , built of paper. Fifty years* ago! the nran who would have ventured to foretell the use of paper rowboats and newspaper made of wood would have been deemed a fit subject for an insane asylum.

-A corresponds of the New I York Ilcrtlld- says : “The fapt has leaked out that the wheels of the radicals campaign machinery are beginning to run stiflly and make some thing of a noise for the want • of Biiflicient oil in the shape of greenbacks. It is said that a good . deal of difliculty is encountered in prevailing upon the faithful to i “come down with the dust,” and . among the reluctant capitalists the > linn of Jay Cooke <iCo, is men tioned.” -A negro near Little Rock, who | had been advised to look out for Ku-Kluxes and shoot them, killed [ a negro woman who was in the i habit of going out in the fields nt I night and praying. -In a Connecticut town thcoth- j cr day at a Grant and Colfax flag j raising the radicals could not | muster force enough to get the pole up and had to call on Democrats for assistance, which was cheerfully rendered and the flag now waveft. -It has been customary to call Lowell the “City of Spindles,” but it would seem that Fall River is justly entitled to tlmt distinction, as she has upwards oi 40,000 spindles more tlfhn her rival. Os the Lowell spindles some 40,000 or more are woolen. Os the Fall Riv-I er spindles only 2,756 are woolen, I and 3,5000 linen. The rest are cotton. L-A colored woman in Now Or | .leans, by the name of Butler, has | very appropriately named her first born “Sjioons” in honor of the, great Genend who once ruled in I that city. -The English rule is to weigh sheep when fatted, ami divide the weight by seven and ball i» quarters. Thus, sheep weighing one hundred and forty pounds, would give twenty pounds a quarter as the' dead weight If the slbecp arc in good condition, this rule is sufficient for all purposes. Poor sheep will fall below the mark. -The l>cst bank is a bank of earth. It never refuses to discount to honestdahox. And the best shares itro plowshares, on which dividends arc always liberal. -A man in Glasgow, Missouri, has eonstnictwi the Mttta of a ma diiuc which reaps, threshes, cleans and sneks wheat at one opemjlon.
