K id G love M anufactures .—In
tbe sonth of England there is an ex
tensive maufacture of kid gloves, Yeo
vil being its center. Three and six
pence is paid for seaming the back of
a dozen kid gloves ; the stitcher, who
is obliged to stoop to the machine and
place her eyes very near her work,
can only live by working twelve hours
a day. In one case the stitcher work
ed from six in the morning until elev
en at night, to earn Sve and sixpence
a week. "It was lamentable," says
Dr. Edward Smith, "to see children
from nine to fourteen years of age kep'„

them, and cut oif from tbe amusements
and exertion so natural to childrec, and
so necessary at the period of growth.

D iscovery <>f a T emplk op
J uno at P ompeii ,—Mention was
lately made of tbe discovery at Pom
peii of a temple of Juno, with more
than three hundred skeletons. Those
remains, which crumbled to dust by
degrees as they were brought to
light, were those of women and chil
dren who had been buried beneath
the burning ashes thrown out by the
volcano at the moment in which a
sacrifice was being offered up in the
temple to the Queen of the Gods, no
doubt to implore her to avert the ter
rible calamity which menaced tbe
city. To the arm of one of thoBe
skeletons, which, from the rich jew
els with which it was covered, is
supposed to have been that of the
high priestess, was still attached, by
a gold ring, a censer of the same
metal filled with calcined perfumes.
This vessel is of the form of those
uow used in the ceremonies of Cath
olic churches, and is of beautiful
workmanship and inlaid with pre
cious stones. The statue of the
goddess is one of the most magnifi
cent relics yet, found in that city ;
its eyes are of enamel, and on the
neck and arms, as well as at the
ankles, are jewels and bracelets of
precious atones of the most exquisite
finish and elegance of form. The pea
cock placed at her side is almost en
tirely composed^ of precious stones.
The tripod before the altar is, like the
censer held by the high priestess,
magnificently worked gold. The
temple also contained lamps, artistic
ally chased, of bronze, iron, silver
and gold ; branches of foliage, vine
stem», interspersed with flowers and
finit of the most beautiful form. The
space around the altar is paved with
splendid mosaics In excellent pre
servation, aud the rest of the temple
is inlaid with small triangular blocks
of white and purple agate. The
spot on which the sacrifices were
made is alone paved with marble
All the instruments used on the occa
sion were still lying on a bronze ta
posed to have been blood.
Dr. Breckinridge in a Character
istic Hole .—At the late commence
ment of exercises at Union College,
Schenectady, says a correspondent of
the New York Herald:
A gentleman saw fit to introduce a
series of resolutions commemorative
of the lite and services of the late
Right Rev. Dr, Alonzo Potter, tbe re«
cently deceased Bishop of the Pennsyl*
vitnia Episcopate. At the conclusion
of the resolutions the Rev. Dr. Breck
inridge, of Kentucky, was called upon
to speak in their indorsement and
support. The Doctor rose and ex
pressed his wonder that he should
have been called upon to perform such
« part. He knew but little of Dr.
Potter, and that little was hirdly of a
character to be elaborately alluded to
on such an occasion. He recognized
n the deceased prelate and Bishop' a
Christian gentleman, an doqrent
preacher aud h robust American
thinker ; but it was simply impoasible
for him to endorse in the slightest de
cree, the controversial powers or writ
ings of Dr. Potter. The entire address
was a cold and cheerless recognition
of the dead. This speech called up
several eminent Episcopalians of tbe
alumni, who warmly defended and eu
logized the dead Bishop, but who
were subjected to several calls to order,
the whole constituting a scene that
indicated that ecclesiastical angulari
ties and inharmonies of no ordinary
bitterness had been unfortunately
awakened.

John W. Gale, the author of
the advertisement offering one million
of dollars reward for the assassination
of President Lincoln, and who is now
n arrest at Washington, is a resident
of Cahawba, a few miles from Selma.
I have taken some pains to ascertain
the antecedents of Mr. Gale, who is ex
tensively known in this section of the
country. He is a lawyer of considéra
ble ability, and has been all his life a
violent Southern man and secessionist.
He has been a fast liver and of dissi
pated habits, and although doing a
lucrative business, has fully lived up
to his Income. He has Dever been
tbe possessor of more than ten thou
sand dollars, and the offering of the
reward is said to have been done in a
joko while on a drunken frolic. He
has not taken any active part in tbe
war, but lived at borne practicing his
