M133 Rebecca Bttea died at Sci tnate Mass., recently, at tue age of 88 years.. In 1812 the borders of Massachu setts were looked after by a num ber of British, cruisers. Inhabit titants of the fishing villages were forced to band themselves in a sort of military fashion, and repel by arms the attacks made upon their chicken coops. The maritime en emy had their hearts set on poul try, which was natural, consi.ierir g their long and forced subsistence upon tough salt meats. To thwart them was to excite their anger an 1 malice, and not unfrequently, fail ing to get chickens, they resorted to harsh measures in retaliation. In the spring of the year named a British, frigate ran into Scituate harbor, set tire to some vessels and seized others, and threatened, if resistance was offered, to bombard the town. When the frigate de parted, citizens of Scituate banded themselves into a home guard, and fortified Crow Point with a brass cannon. The British took the hint and stopped away, and gradully, as alarm subsided, the hume guard went about its farming. September came. One pleasant evening of ihal month Miss Bates, then a maiden of 18, sat sewing, Her Bister Abigail, 14 years old, and her mother sat with her. Capt, Simeon Bates, the father, likewise the V.eepe'r of the light House, was awav. and the Home Guard werg scattered all about, Mrs Bates j had just 6aid to Rebecca that it was time to put the kettle on. The maiden rose and went in'o the kitchen. Glauc'ng through the wiudow as she passed she saw a British frigate close at hand and about lowering her boats. In her own narrative of the occurrence Miss Bate3 says that she knew the ship at a glance as La llogue, and she called out to bur sister ; "O, Lord ! the old La liogiw is off here again ! What shall we do? Here are their barges a coining, and they'll burn up our vesj;s just as they did afore." Two vesa Is lay at t!ie wharf la-, den with flour, and Mis Bates in her narrative, says. "We couldn't afford to lose that in those tint s, when the embargo made it so hard to live we had to bile pumpkins ail day to get Skveeteaing for eugar. Her quick mind decided to repel the enemy by a strategem. The musical instruments ot ttie Home Guard were stored in the house. She" could play four tunes on the fife, and her sister Abigail could beat the drum in an xcoedino;l v wi'd manner. "Yankee Doodle" was their masterpiece. The idea thus conceived was quickly put through. Rebecca and Abigail, with the drum and the fife, ran down behind the cedar wood, and in a moment the quiet September evening was startled hy she most remarkable martial out burst that ever Was heard "1 looked," says Miss Bates, "and 1 could s'e the men in the barge resting on thsir oars and listening.

A quarter ot an hour later the La Hogue sailed away, the strains of "Yankee Doodle'' pursuing her. The new Morman Temple at Manci, Utah, now being rapidly pushed forward, will be, .vben completed, one ot the grandest structures on the American conti nent. The material is white lime stone, ahd the structure, is situated upon the top of one of the s'purs of the Wasatch range, called by the people of Utah, the Mountain of the Lord. The foundation is set in solid ro'ek. The building will bo 95 feet in width, 172 in length and 82 feet in height. Two towers wili rise r'roni the building, one 179 feet and-the other 169 feet in height. Magnificent terraces, with grand fliglils of 6tone eteps, will adorn the front approaches, topped by neatly dressed and cut stone and ornamented with statutes, trees and plants. The whole tide of the mountain will be planted in trees and flowers. The work was began five; years ago and will be finished in about five years more. A corxsporder.t of the Cincin nati Times-Star Las had a talk with Remenyi. The great violinists was placidly smoking a cigarette, and was in one of his most talkative aud urbane moods. After con demning the small audience of the evening, which, by the way, was a digrace to Springfield, the conver srtion drifted to music and musi cians. 'It is a gr'at surprise to most people, Mr. Remenyi, how yon manage to produce so many won derful and b'sautiful effects on your violin, making it sound like anoth er instrumant.' 'That,' said tho violinist with a smile, 'is according to the player. The violin is . the most royal and the most vulgar of all instruments ; it is used for the snbliinest effects and the most trivial.' 'Yours is a splendid instrument cf the Ci iiinoha make, is it not ?' iisked the reporter, with the idea that the violin was about 500 years old and had a Latin name about two yards long. , j 'On the contrary,' said Remenyi, 'it is not of the Cremona make, and is not old. The violin which I used in this evening's concert, and which I have christened the 'Lady- Sun beam,' was made by a man at Col umbus. Ohio, and is only tvyo mouths old. 1 consider his violin equal, if not superior, to tho violins of the old masters. 1 nave many violins, which I have left in Eu rope, an AntoniuJ Stradivari us, a Gnarnerius, aud many others whose whole value is probably many thou sand dollars. 'My study violin, For instance, an Antoniui Stradivarius, which I could sell any day for $5,000, I left at home and use this American vi olin in preference. The Columbus man is now, however, at work upon a new violin, expected to surpass any violin in the world. It ia a combination of the Slradivarius aril Giiaruerius models, :-md the re sult is a superb ton ", iirmer than any tiling made.' 'Tins,' said he, pointing to Lady Sunbeam secure ly packed in her case, 'is a fiddle that will be a violin.' 'May i a-ik the price ot Lady ounbeaai : ver tainly,' said the violinist, 'it cost urj 450, and is as good as a $3,000 Cremona. Ohio has completely destroyed the idea that a violin must be 200 years old zo amount to anything. The Columbus man's yiolin's sound about as well, as Coon as the varnish is dry, as the 'Jitiiionas.' 'Is this maker known in Europe?' askod the reporter. , '2Tot very well. There 13 a prejudice there against anything iiot European.

Bills for the admission of two new States into the Union have al ri ady been offered. Mr. Ingalls, of Kansas, urges the admission of New Mexico, which had, by the last census, a population of 118,430, consisting ot 108,127 "whites" in cluding 9,600 Indians and 55 Asia atics, and 64S colored. The Mex ican element is said to be pretty large, of a rather worthless charac ter, and that it may be . considered open to question whether the pop- ruation raKen as a . wnoie is nt as yet for the performance of political duties. Senator Windom has in troduced the expected bill tor the admission of Dakota, with bounda ries including all the present Ter ritory ot that name south of the forty-sixth parallel of north lati tude, lhis Will leave about half of Dakota as we now know it to be made into a new Territory, for which another bill introduced by Mr. Windom provides the names of North Dakota. Mr. Saunders, who also introduced bills covering the same purposes, proposes the The Potato Noboly knows where trn potato came trom originally'. It has beert found, apparently indigenous, in many parts of the world. Mr. Aarwin, for instance, found it wild in the ChonoS Archipelago. Sir W. J, Hooker says that it is cpm montat Valparaiso, Where it growa abundly on the sandy hill near the sea. In Fern and. other parts of South America it appears to be at home ; and it ia a noteworthy fact tlidt "tr "Tin iixrin .li rn 'i il liavo n nr . ..v,.... . ed it both in the humid forests of the Chinese Archipelago and among the central Chilian mountains, where sometiities rain does fall for six months at a stretch. It was to the colonists whom Sir Walter Raleigh sent out . in Elizabeth' reign that England is indebted for potatoes. Ilerriot, who came out wihi tht.se colonists, aud wno wrote an account of Lis travels; makes what no ay perhaps be -re-! garded as the earliest mention of this vegetable. name Pembina, for North Dakota. The recent census showed Dakota has a struggling, floating and min- uii population, white and red, of about 135,000. Considering the small population of both New Mex ico and Dakota, nothing but 'po litical necessity" could suggest their admission to a position ot equality in tho Senate with old States like Virginia, with a population of 1, 512.800, or thickly settled States like New York, with a population of 5,003,810. That politicians will not stick at 6cruple is illustrated by the admission ot JNebraska in 1S60, with a population, as indicat ed bv the previous census, ot 23, 8-$l, and Nevada admitted by the same party in 1S64, with a popula tion 40,000.

The frequency of collisions on railroads has raised tho question, which is the place of gieatest se curity in a railroad train ? The Railroad Journal gives the follow ing as an answer: It is very well known that the ear nearest the en gine is exposed to the least dust, and tint the rear car of a train is generally 6afer than the front car. The safest is probablv tho last car but, one, in a train of more than two cars . that is, there are fewer chances of accidents to tliis ?;than any other. It it is a way train at moderate speed, or any train stand ing still,' a collision is possible from another tiain in the rear in which the last car receives the ;;first shock. Aain. the eugiue and the front cars of a train will often run over a broken rail, or a cow, or stone, without detriment, while the last car, having nothing to draw it into the fine ot the train, is free to leave the track. Next to the forward car the rear car is probably the most unsafe in the train. Tiie safest seat is probably near the centre of the 1 , Knf s-in ar.il in u rprir binur train,' in the centre of the last two1 5S the mails, &c; for the relief j of or three cars next to the last.
