General ]Van Buren, United States s Commissioner to the Vienna Exposition, made an address to the exhihitors and i visitors at the American Institute Fair. He would say that no other attempt to i interest the world in the arts of peace can compare with these fairs. Something of sort will be done in one of our principal cities in 1876. The country should at once begin to prepare for this great effort.; In 18G7 one of the largest assemblies the world ever saw gather«d ! in Paris to examine such a collection of human handiwork. An exhibition six times as larCjp as that of the one in Paris is about to be inaugurated in Vienna. Austria stands perhaps foremost among European nations in disposition toward progress. Ho many Germans are now in this country, our people will naturally take a great interest in this old World g Fair. Austrfans arc especially noted as valuable citizen's in America. It has been said that it is useless for Americans to send specimens of their work to this fair, because we cannot manufacture as cheaply as Austrians. But the reflex influence upon future emigrants from that land to this will be immense. They will already feel acquainted with their future home through its wonderful mechanisms. He only hoped for an appropriation for the general purpose. Therefore all who send articles to Vienna now must do so at their oiviji expense. He can only say to exhibitoijs, " make application to me, and if Congress gives the money at its next session you can rush your articles over." The Austrians are Very anxious to have American mechanisms in their fair. Hungarians are great admirers of America. The exhibition palace (pictures of which were shown) is 3,000 feet long. There is a space of 1,500,000 square feet on the floor. The area of the doom is double tbat of St. Peters; it has 250 feet of clear rise from the floor. The grounds cover 900 aeres. The machinery building is 2,600 by 150 feet. The speaker had been offered the privlege of putting 'American bars in the building, bat could only promise a good restaurant. One hundred and fifty thousand people are expected to visit the place each day; and as all these must pass through the American department it is worth while to send articles. All European patent laws seem to have been adopted for the piracy of foreign inventions. But the spirit *f the managers of this fair is not of that sort. Already they have induced the Government to let every exhibitor take out a certificate without expense which shall serve as a patent for two months after the fair closes; the certificate can then be turned into a patent at an expense of about $10. It is hoped that before the fair opens a treaty will be ratified giving our inventors greater privileges than they have ever enjoyed in Europe.

Thh Home.—Whether it is a duty more' definitely belonging to the " sphere" of wrontt of roan to beautify the heme we will not pretend to Ueinae, since, in these days, the "sphere of woman" is a topic of so much discussion and disagreement. But we confidently believe that the majority of our lady readers have such love for the beautiful in nature and in art, and such reliance upon the influence of refined taste in the family, that they take a genuine pleasure in those nameless little adornments which make the home cheerful, bright, beautiful. Just now we are not thinking of costly paintings and engravings, or rare and curious ornaments, though all these, tastefully arranged, are most pleasing additions to the rooms in which we live ; but these October days remind us of a simple method whereby the family rooms may be brightened up for th« prospective winter. Some of our readers have no need of any suggertion from, us ; for weeks they have been watching the forest leaves changing to red and golden hues ; they have gathered the choicest, and carefully pressed them. Ferns and grasses have been plucked, and the collection is varied and beautiful, yet they will not regard it complete until the " melancholy days" liave come —October days are certainly not much ; then they will fill their vases with sand, and arrange the bright-hued leaves in tasteful bouquets. All winter long they will give a cherry look to the parlor, the dining-room, the library. Mosses and ferns have also been taken from their native soil and transferred to tbe simple fernery, which, in some snug corner, will preserve its luxuriance through wintry months. A fernery is scarcely any trouble to its owner. It may be as simple as one please3. A box with glass sides and cover is all that is necessary, and then, when stocked with plants, it will take care of itself if it is" watered once in a week or two. City residents lack the opportunities of those living in the country for preparing winter bouquets ; but October will doubtless see many interested gatherers of the brilliant autumn leaves.

Of all enemies with which the rattlesnake has te contend, except man, the hog is the most destructive. An'old sow with a litter of pigs to provide food for, will hunt for the reptile with a perseverance and sagacity truly astonishing, tracking thorn by their scent to tlisir hiding places and never letting them escape. In the West in early times, and now throughout the country, if rattlesnakes become troublesome in any localty, a drove of hogs are turned into their haunts and the snakes soon disappear. The hog, when it sees a rattlesnake, instantly erects its bristles and back, and commences rattling its tusks. The snake accepts the challenge, and prepares for defense. The old porker seems to understand whatjparts of its body are invulnerable to poison, so it gets down upon its knees, and in this awkward position deliberately crawls by a sideling motion, up to the enemy. The snake darts for ward a*d the hog dextrously catches the fangs in, the fat of the jaws—the blow is repeated, and the hog having been smitten on sue cheek deliberately turns the other. This th# animal continues to do until the snake has not only exhausted for the time being, its poison, but also its strength. The hog then deliberately rises from its knees, and now regardless of oonsequences, seizes the serpent near th* head, and putting its forefoot upon its squirming body, strips the reptile through its teeth, and thus tears it to pieces. If the hog, as is sometimes the case happens to be very lean, and the poison fangs thereby strike the circulation it will die from the wound, bnt this conjunction rarely takes place.

Having recently made large additions to his stock or k B Knocked About in the World.—It is a good thing for a young man to be "knocked about in the world," though hia soft hearted parents may not think «o. All youths, or if not all, nineteentwentieths of the sum total, enter life with a surplus of self-conceit. If, in measuring themselves with wiser and older men than they are, they discover that it is unwarranted, and get rid of it gracefully, of their own accord, well and good ; if not, it is desirable, for their own sakes, tbat it be knocked out of them. A boy who is sent to a large school soon finds his level. His will may have been paramount at home, but school boys are democratic in their ideas, and, if arrogant are sure to be thrashed into a recognition of th/golden rule. The world is a great public school, and it soon teaches a nfew pupil his proper place. If he has the attributes that belong to a leader he will be enstalled in the position of a leader ; if not, whatever his own opinion of his abilities may be, he will be compelled to fall in with the rank and file. If not destined to greatness, the next best thing to which lie can aspire is respectability ; but no man can be truly great or respectable who is vain, pompous and overbearing. By the time the novice has found his legitimate social position, be the same high or low, the probability is that the disagreeable traits of his character will be softened down or worn away. Most likely the process of abrasion will be rough, but when it is all over, aud he begins to see himself as others see him, and not as reflected in the *miror of selfconceit, he will be Chankful that he has run the gauntlet, and arrived, though by a rough road, at self-knowledge. Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers may think to the contrary, it is a good thing for youths to be knocked about in the world—it makes men of tham. Exeter St., West Pittston.

He invites a resume of business with old friend*, and a trial from the trade in general. A Hard Year.—"Eighteen hundred and starved to death" was the grim name given by old New England farmers to the year 181G—the year without a summer. The winter months were unsually mild ; the latter part of March and the first half of April was not unseasonable; but the weather grew colder as April advanced, and ended with snow and ice. In May ice formed half an inch thick; buds and fruits were frozen, corn killed, and the fields were replanted again and again. Never was there known such a June. Frost, ice, and snow were frequent. In Maine and Vermont snow fell to the depth of several inches—also in Massachusetts and the interior of New York. On the fifth of July ice was formed throughout New Eugland, New York and some parts of Pennsylvania. August was even more cheerless. With ice forming half an inch in thickness, Indian corn frozen, and almost every green thing destroyed, what wonder that the hearts of farmers were heavy, and a gloom spread through the whole country. In September there were two weeks of warm weather, then the season became cold, and in November there was good sleighing. Such, in brief, was the " cold summer of 1816," when the sun's rays seemed to be destitute of all heat. KEYSTONE MARBLE YARD. S. J. BARBER, Prop'r.

His Name. — The Overland Monthly gives a 111 tie anecdote of Prince William, one of the highest chiefs in .he Hawaiian kingdom, who is quick-witted, and as ready at repartee in English as in his native tongue. A few years ago the somewhat pompous and patronizing French minister at a royal reception turned toward Prince William and, having for the moment forgotten his name, yet wishing officially to recognizo him, said. " And your name is—?" pausing for a reply. At once the prince—who did not care to be patronized—threw himself into a theatrical attitude, and with a capital rendering of Ibis apt quotation, replied, " My name is Norval. On the Grampian hills my father feeds his flock ; a frugal swain." Nobody could more thoroughly enjoy than did he the confusion of the courtly Frenchman, who knew too little of English literature to comprehend the lorce of the extract which so much amused the bystanders.
