The war is progressing in a most favorable way. The departments at Wash ington seem to know what they are doing, and have competent men to carry out their orders. The fact of the business is that when this American people get to pulling together like one man, there is nothing that can withstand us. The tramp of an army of this reunited people is like the whirl of a evcdnne (Jprmni.v and France keep mouthing around, and look like they want to stick their bills in this Spanish pie. If they have any diplomatic friends, we think it ndv}S&b/e for them to inform these governments to attend to their own business, or in a short lime they might not have luiveanyto attend to. We think it doubtful whether this Spanish affair will he a breakfast and this people may want their appetite satisfied before they stop, after being one# thoroughly aroused. Our p<ople have not got real good and thoroughly mud yet, and it is best for outsiders to let its alone. If the balance of Europe don't behave itself we will combine with England and clean up the whole business, and nothing but English will be heard at all the capitals of Europe. Take warning! THE 10th OF MAY. There never descended to this vale1 of tear*, from the treasury of heaven, a greater blessing than the power to forget, 'tis heaven's anodyne for human sorrow, but there are some things we have no desire to forget, some things wo ought not to forget. some things we must not forget. The JOtli day May of each year lias lioon set apart as the day to he devotel throughout the entire South to tlie floral decoration of the graves of mir dead soldiers of the 'Confederacy ; this day for years past has l,cen held sacred to the memory of otn' dead heroes, and wherever a grave h1*1* been in which sleeps a Southern soldier the mound on this day has been strewn with flowers by loving hands; but the lo of May.

Miss O'Neal lias thus unwittingly administered to our ' citizens a fitting rebuke. Is this generation of men and women devoid of patriotism? Are we the degenerate1 sons and daughters of a noble nnees- 1 try? We blush with shame when we' think of the many young ladies in i'nion who have in the cemetery rd-| atives and friends buried of whom they seem not to think, aye ha\e for- , gotten, whose sacred resting place they never brighten with a flower or j a tear, over whose grass grow n graves j Subscription payable in advance, always.

The 8nbterranr.nl River Said to Eltet R? t?re?u Superior and Ontario. "I believe there is a subterranean river running from Lake Superior through Lakes Huron and Michigan, under Lake Erie, and emptying into Lake Ontario," said a man from up the state. "There is no other theory by which certain mysteries of the great lakes may be explained. The surfaco of Lake Superior is ybout G50 feet above tide, while its Led is 200 feet below tida level. Lake Huron's surfuco is SO feet below that of Lake Superior, and its bed is about on a level with j Superior's bed. The surfaco of Lako j Michigan is 300 feet lower thai) j Lako Huron's, and its bed is sunk j to a corresponding distance to the ; level of Lakes Superior and Huron, j Lako Erie's surface is nearly as high ! as Lako Michigan's, being 505 feet abovo tide, but its bed is also above tide, being 350 feet above the ocean level, consequently its bed is 250 i feet higher than the beds of Lakes ! Michigan, Huron and Superior. The i surface of Lake Ontario is the low est of all the lakes, being less than 500 feet above tide, but its bed is 200 feet below tlio ocean level, or on about the same level with Lake*' Michigan, Huron and Superior. So there is a continuous fall from Lako Superior to Lake Ontario, and all the known outlet that th*? upper lakes have is in the comparatively insignificant Detroit vivcr. It does not seem within *\o hounds of physical possibilitythat the Detroit rivet could disposoof all that great vol uiiiu of \kh*t: r from above or itd banks withstand tho enormous pressvro of that immense volume, up'? tho theory of tho existence of iuo underground river such as 1 mentioned seems to me not only plausible, but the existence of that stream is a necessity. All tho St. Lawrence river tislios are found in every one of the great lakes except Lake Krie. Why? Because they follow the course of tho subterranean river, passing Uuo feet l?eneath i the bottom of Lake Erie, and entei the waters of Lake Michigan, thencu to be distributed to tho other lakes 1 ubovc it. "The lakes above Lake Erie hav< ireijut nt but irregular flux and redux of their waters, corresponding witli ocean tides. What is tho explanation of tho mystery of those erratic lake tides? Simply, according to my opinion, that tho subterranean river becomes occasionally obstructed by great obstacles that arc constantly separated from the lako bottoms and moved down. Then that supplementary outlet for the great volume of water above for the time becomes useless, and the only other outlet, Detroit river, lie1 x ..nt : ..i. r .. .t - nig lii-uiin n m iur iin* purpi>se, inu waters are dammed back, and tin* i lakes rise. At last the underground obstructions are swept away by the ' irresistible pressure, the subtcrraI uean river flows naturally once more, and thedummed waters of the upper lakes subside. That is the whole mystery of the rise and fall of the tides in the great lakes."? New York Sun. I llefrigt-ratlug Muchlncry. Professor Ewing, in lecturing before the London Society of Arts on the requirements of refrigerating machinery, says Engineering, showed plainly how far the performance ot even tho best of modern r< frigerating plants falls below that due ro an ideal machine. In i fact, the practicable figure is not ' approached by oven the best ammo- I nia or carbolic acid gas machines, j while with cold air machines the j performance reckoned in terms of i i the indicated work of the engine | has never exceeded unity, and is 1 usually not more than one-half to j three fourths of this. Tho most j rapidly working machines, Profess- 1 or Ewing declares, are absorption | machines, in which water is caused to evaporate under a very low pres- 1 I sure, tho aqueous vapor being absorbed by sulphuric; acid. With a j ma sit urn of this class by Winelhaus- ' on, six blocks of ico, weighing 1&0 ! pounds each, were produced in (50 minutes after starting, while with a | small (iarre machine, as modilied j by Fh ii-s, ico was produced in a carafe alter about tivo minutes' i working. Such machines, however, j on a largo scale, are objected toon) account of their great hulk unci mechanical friction. Overconfident.
