THE ORIGIN OF RICE.
In the Middle Flowery Kingdom,
Four thousand years ago,
An emperor was walking ,
With step sedate and slow ;
And he talked with the when spirits
Who made the wild herbs grow -—
They could do these things in China .
Four thousand years ago.
The emperor reached a ricefield,
And the rice was poor and small ;
it would hardly pay for pluckiug~
It was worthless, stern and all.
But one stalk alone was monstrous,
It grew so fine and tall ;
And on it a fairy '
Robbed up like a bouncing ball.
“What made that stalk so stately P"
Said the emperor to the fay ;
“To give theea name I watched it.
And nursed it night and day ;
And. for this, mankind by millions
Shall ever slngsnd say.
That thou wart their greatest monarch.
When ages have pasa‘d away.
“First take this car and plant it,
And when the grains are grown,
Cull out the best among them——
Let it in turn be sewn ;
And by keeping still the choicest,
While away the worst is thrown.
Their wilt giv‘e the world the finest
Mankind has ever known."
The emperor took the rice grains,
And bore them in his hand
To the imperial gardens.
' Which close by Pekin stand ;
So they grew to teeming millions,
Numerous as grains of sand :~—
And this is the ancient story
‘ or rice in the China land. C. G. L.

The Supreme Court.
A bill passed the House of Representatives
Friday Week,providing that it shall require a
majority of two-thirds of the Supreme Court
to declare any act of Congress unconstitu-
tional. It is reasoned that while the Constr.
tion defines the function and authority of the
Supreme Court, it is left for Congress to reg-
ulate the mode in which that authority shall
be exercised. Thus Congress has repeatedly
prescribed of how many judges the Court
should consishand how many should constr-
tute a quorum for the transaction of business;
and it is held that the same branch of the
government may properly determine .what
majority of the judges shall be reqursrte in
order to ann'ul and'set aside a law. This
seems to be a reasonable proposition. Cer-
tainly no law ought to be pronounced uncou-
stitutionai upon points that are doubtful ; and
any law whose unconstitutionality is clear
and beyond question will be sure to be con-
demned by the requisite two-thirds of the
Court. If it takes the whole twelve mem-
bers of a jury to settle a question of fact in
an ordinary trial, it certainly is not extrava
gant to require the judgement of six out of
eight Justices to overrule an act of the na-
tional legislature—Sun.

WThe splendid new Iron Steamship
Chicago, owned by Messrs, Williams do Gu-
ion, of New York,was lost on the Irish Coast
ofi‘ Queenstown, on the 13th inst. She left
New York on the 2d inst-., with 52 passen-
gers and the following cargo, a considerable
portion of which, it is hoped, will be saVed:
24,000 bushels‘of corn, 1,200 tierccs of beef,
500 barrels of pork, 2,250 bales of cotton, 200
bales of hemp, besides sperm oil, bacon,
cheese, apples, and other articles. Her spe-
cie, amounting to $300,000, is reported saved
The vessel is expected to be a total loss, but
fortunately for the owners she is fully in.
cured. 'Many of our readers will remember
having admired the beautiful vessel as she
lay at pier 37, East River, N. Y., close to our
little pet steamer, the Nelly White.

Wonderful Mechanism-ml
Steam Man.
The Newark Advertiser says that Mr. La-
dock Deddrick, at Newark machinist, has in-
vented a man that, moved by steam, will
perform some of the most important func-
tions of humanity, standing upright,walking
or running, as he is hidden, in any direction,
and at almost any rate of speed, drawing af-
ter him a loud whose weight would tax the
strength of three stout draught horses. The
man stands 7 feet 9 inches high, the other
dimensions of the body being correctly pro-
portioned,'making him a second Daniel Lam
bert, by which name be is facctiously spoken
of among the workmen. He weighs 500
pounds. Steam is generated in the body or
trunk, which is nothing but a three-horse
power engine, like those used in our steam
fire engines. ' The legs which support the
automaton are complicated and wonderful.
The steps are taken very naturally and quite
easily. As the body is thrown forward upon
the advancing foot' the other is lifted from
the ground by a spring, and thrown forward.
As each step or pace advances the body two
feet, and every revolution of the engine is
capable of making more than a thousand rev-
olutions a minute, it would get over the
ground, on this calculation, at the rate of a
little more than a mile a minute. As this
would be working the legs faster than would
be safe on uneven ground, or oncity cobble-
stones, it 'is proposed to run the engine at the'
rate of 500 revolutions per minute, which
would walk the man at the modest speed of
half a mile a minute. The fellow is attach-
ed to a common rockaway carriage, whose
shafts serve to support him in vertical posi-
tion. These shafts are two parts of iron,
which are made fast in the usual manner to
the front axle of the carriage, and are curved
so as to be joined ‘to a circular sustaining
bar, which passes around the waist, like a
girth, and in which the man moves so as to
face in any direction. Besides these motions,
machinery has been arranged by which the
figure can be thrown backward or forward
from a vertical, netfl-ly 45 degrees. This is
done to enable it to ascend or descend all
grades. To the soles of the feet spikes or
corks are fixed which effectually prevent
slipping. The whole machine is so firmly
sustained by the shafts, and has so excellent
a foothold that two men are unable to push
it over, or in any way throw it down. An
upright post, which is arranged in front of
the dash-board, and within easy reach of the
front seats, sustaining two miniature pilot
wheels, by turning which these various mo-
tions and evolutions are directed. It is ex-
pccfed that sufficient coal can be stowed
. away under the back seat of the carriage to
work the engine a day, and enough water in
a tank under the front seat to last half a day.
To prevent “the giant.” from frightening
horses, Ill r. Dcddrick intends to clothe it,and
give it as nearly as possible a likeness to the
rest of humanity. The boiler and such parts
as are necessarily heated, are to be incased
in felt or woolen undergarments. . The cost
of this “first man" is $2,000, though the
makers, Messrs, Deddrick (.5 Grass, expect to
manufacture succeeding ones, warranted to
run a year without repairs, for $300.

WThe letter which Sherman wrote to
Grant, on the 20th of December, 1863, is al- I
most propheticz— g
“In relation to the Conversation we had in l
Gen. Granger‘s office the day before I left 7
Nashville, I repeat, you occupy a position of l
more power than Halleck or the President. i
There are similar instances in European his- .
tory, but none in ours. For the sake of fu- ,
turc enerations, risk nothing. Let no risk ,
(I when you strike let it be as at Vicks- §
burg and Chattanooga. Your reputation as
a General is now far above that of any man
living, and partisans will manoeuvre for your 5
influence; but, if you can escape them, as,l
you have hitherto done, you will be more , pressiou,
powerful for good than it is possible to meas-
ure. You says that you were surprised at
my assertion on this point, but I repeat that
Solomon’s Temple Ext-tuned.
The London Times publishes an interesting
letter in regard to‘ the discoveries at Jerusa-
lem, from which we select the following:
“The colossal foundations of the temple wall
which are ‘stones of ten cubits and stones of
eight cubits,‘ laid by Solomon or his succes-
sors on the throne, are now being laid bare
at the enormous depth Of 90 feet and more
beneath the present surface. The bridge
that once spanned the ravine between the
palace Of Zion and the temple on Moriah is
now proved to have been upward of 150 feet
high. If this be, as it scents, the ascent to
the House of the Lord which Solomon show-
ed to the Queen of Sheba, we cannot wonder
that on seeing it there was no spirit in her.
The pinnacle of the temple on which the
tempter placed the Savior has just been un-
covered to the base, and is found still to have
an elevation of 136 feet. The statement of
Josephus is therefore no exaggeration. If any
one looked from the battlcments into the
valley he would be giddy, While his sight
could not reach to such an immense depth.
Sections of the ancient Wall of Ohel have
beett exhumed, showing that, as Josephus
says, it was joined to the south-east angle of
the Temple. Aqueducts, cisterns,rock-hewn
channels and passages have also been discov-
ered within and around the harem, throwing
new light on the buildings, the arrangements
and the services of the temple. The grcat
work of a complete exploration of ancient
Jerusalem is thus fairly and auspiciouely
commenced. The opportune visit of the
Sultan and grand vizier to this couutty, and
the repreaetrtations made to the latter by the
Archbishop of York, followed up as they
have been by the energy, the wisdom, and
fact of Lieut. Warren and his admirable staff
have smoothed down Moslem prejudice, re-
moved local opposition, and thus brought
about opportunities for excavation and ex-
ploration such as never occurred before; and
besides, large numbers of Arab laborers have
been trained to the work, and are eager to
be employed; and the exact points for suc-
cessful exploration are now well kn0wn.”

@‘Thc various Methodist bodies of Can-
ada are discussing the project of union.
From 1853 to 1866, line number of Metho-
, dist ministers in this field has. more than
' doubled. In the former year, there were
only 409, in the latter, 1012. The increase in
thedifierentbranches has been' as follows :
—Wesleyan, 34 ; Episcopal, 101 : NewCon-
neclion, 65 : Primitive, 55 ; Bible Christian,
55. The number of Methodist members in
Canada, is estintated‘af 100,000. As organ-
ized now, Canadian Methodism wastes a
part of its resources in the inevitable compe-
tion of the rival bodies with each other. A
'well adjusted union would add enormously
to their power, and would give Methodism a
commanding position in the new “dominion.’

EwBrlck‘Tomeroy has gained great n.-
ioricty for himself and a large circulation for
his paper by his ingenious and astoundingly
impudcnt political falsehoods and misrepre-
sentations. Here is a recent story, in keep-
ing with the well known character of his
paprrz— ,
A M051 Strange Chapter.
A correspondent writes as from Waterloo,
Iowa, asking if we know of one Edgar Burn-
ham, and of his history.
We do. And as it is a strange, true talc,
knowndo hundreds, we give it In the Demo—
crat as It is, and that we may correct some er
rors those who speak of him have fallen into.
Eight years since, when we were engaged as
city editor of at Milwaukee paper, thérc lived
in this State an editor named Powell, now
connected with a Chicago paper, we think.
He is, unless he has quit it lately.
In 1862 Powell was married to a Miss El-
len Buruham, of Brodhead, Wis, after-a
courtship of some months. Miss Burnhatn’s
parents were old residents of Brodhead, and
of high respectability. The 'daughtcr taught
music, had a large number of pupils, and
was very attractive. Powell lived with her
as a husband two years, she being all that
time a good wife to all respects, presenting
him with but one child. At the expiration
of about two years, when about twenty-one
years of age,Mrs. Powell's voice changed, she
grew light whiskers, and gradually changed
her sex, developing into a man in all repects,
as if Nature, anxtous for a freak, had turned
a portion of herself wrong side out.
The husband and wife separated when the
wife became a man, and Mrs. Ellen Powell
took the name of Edgar Buruham, donned
male attire, sought and obtained employment
as a clerk in Chicago,and lived a single young
man for one year.
During this time he fell in love with a niece
of Senator Morgan, of New York, but did
not marry her, for reasons not pertinent to
this article. But about the end of the year
he‘did marry a young lady of llzorhead,
Wisconsin, :1 Miss Gerta Everett, who was a
a music pupil of his when he was Miss Ellen
Buruham, (flcr three years previous to the
marriage. This second marriage was about
two years ago. Soon after this marriage
“Edgar” Burnham and wrfe removed to Wa-
terloo, Iowa, where they now reside, or dill
not long since.
The former girl is now a man, the former
wife is now a husband, the former mother is
now a father, the former young lady teacher
of a young lady is now that young lady’s
husband! Truth is, indeed, stranger than
fiction, and the above simple statement of
facls‘borders so upon the marvellous we
could not believe it, did We not personally
know nearly all the parties. ,.
Any one can be convinced,‘by writing to
the parties in either of the places we have
named of the full and entire truth of this most
wonderful transformation, which puzzles not
only the medical but the entire scientific
world, and which fact appears new for the
first time in printgthough the particulars
have long been known to us and to many
other newspaper men and prominentcitizens
of this State, as to nearly all the citizens of
Brodhead, where the parties so long resided.

now to announce that it has been superseded by our

which has been over two years in preparation, and
which has been brought to perfection regardless of

Patent Culinary Steamer.
HIS STEAMER is now offered to the trade, believ-
ing that it will be found one of the most useful
and Economical Culinary articles ever offered to the
ublic ; it being a great improvement over any other
Steamer heretotore made, constructed on purely scien-
tific principles so essential and important, It_ cannot
fail to recommend itself to any who will examine It.
The great advantage of this over all other Steamers is
in its peculiar form and”construction, bemg made wrrh
CONICAL CHAMBER AND DEFLECTOR,
for extracting the water risino with the steam, and at.
the same time diffusing the ry Steam equally and
uniformly among the articles to be cooked, thus ren-
dering vegetables, and especially Potatoes, to be served
whole,dryand menly, instead of broken, soggy and
tasteless.
Pudding, Dumplin 0!, Stale Bread, &c., when cooked
by this Steamer wilIbe found light and latable. and
incomparably better than when cooked n the ordina-
rymanner. -
EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE ONE.
