cis de Haes Janvier. The Stars and Stripes! What hand shall dare To desecrate the flag we bear? The flag of stars, whose cheering light Brightened oppression's gloomy night! The flag of stripes, whose heavenly dyes Flashed Freedom's day-spring through the skies! Our flag! The standard of the free! Symbol of hope and liberty! The Stars and Stripes! What memories rise, Whene'er that banner greets our eyes! By patriots borne, o'er land and sea, It led the way to victory! When slaughter swept the surging main-- When carnage strewed the crimson plain-- It marked the spot where heroes stood, It was baptized in heroes' blood! The Stars and Stripes! What power shall stay Immortal Freedom's onward way! The heavens are the triumphal arch Through which she takes her mighty march! Her mighty march! Nor shall she halt Till, like the spangled azure vault, O'er every land around the world The Stars and Stripes shall be unfurled! Washington, March 19, 1861. --N. Y. Evening Post, March 22.

institutions in either case, will remain the same. I had no direct part in the preparation of the Confederate Constitution. No consideration of delicacy forbids me, therefore, to say, in closing this brief review of that instrument, that it was a model of wise, temperate, and liberal statesmanship. Intelligent criticism, from hostile as well as friendly sources, has been compelled to admit its excellences, and has sustained the judgment of a popular Northern journal which said, a few days after it was adopted and published: The new Constitution is the Constitution of the United States with various modifications and some very important and most desirable improvements. We are free to say that the invaluable reforms enumerated should be adopted by the United States, with or without a reunion of the seceded States, and as soon as possible. But why not accept them with the propositions of the Confederate States on slavery as a basis of reunion? New York Herald, March 19, 1861.

the escape passage to the exhaust gases. f is the induction slide, admitting the explosive mixture to the cylinder. g is the compressor by which the inflammable gas is introduced into the chamber where the mixture is formed. i is the reservoir of inflammable gas. j j are the fixed jets, and k k the movable. In Hugon's English patent 653 of 1863, the explosive force of the gas acts upon a column of water which transfers the force to the piston. See also Lenoir's patent, March 19, 1861; Dick's, 1867; Million, 1867. The ammoniacal engine has been termed a gasengine, but this latter name is more fairly applicable to those engines in which the force is obtained by the inflammation of the charge, rather than to those in which the motor is an elastic vapor under pressure. Frot's ammonia-engine resembles the steam-engine so closely that comparative experiments with the vapor of water and of ammonia have been made with it. See ammoniacal engine. R. Waller (English p

was critical rather than sympathetic; in 1860 he dreaded the probability of Seward being the candidate for President, and during the Civil War he indulged rather in complaint than in praise of the Administration; and his tone as to public affairs—alike as to the action of President, Cabinet, and Congress—was uniformly querulous and pessimistic. The writer has had at hand one hundred letters of Mr. and Mrs. Fish to Sumner,—much the larger number being from Mr. Fish. He wrote to Sumner, March 19, 1861:— Do you think that the government of the United States, under which we have lived, will ever again send abroad another batch of representatives? Soberly and candidly, I do not. In urging Sumner to take ground publicly against the foreign appointments, he wrote, Jan. 27, 1863:— I write as a friend who has loved you long and much. I trust that I do not offend. But I see country and government and nationality fading and passing away amid the riot of vulgarity, violenc
