NOSE v." EYES.
Few of our readers are probably
unacquainted with Cowper s Jeu d
Ef,»m—u Report of an adjudged
cate, not to be found in the books i*
In this cale, wrhich was a contclk be
tween Nofe and Eyes, about a pair
of r pec tacit s,
To which the laid Spectacles
ought tv' belong ?
it was decided by Chief Baron
Ear, after hearing the arguments of
lawyer longue —
ihat whenever the Nofe put his
Spectacles on,
by day tight or candle-light, Eyes
fhouid be lhut.
The following continuation of
that humourous piece, may atnulc
fcverat 0f our readers :
NOaE REFUTED;
Or lips moving fer a nerv trial.
,l hi the caufe at l*fl ictCon of N«ds w»/«i Eye»,
** wil< ciearly appea., aiy lord, Lyc» i'ltuer
ed wrong ;
** »*t mi flake. from a preiTure of buiiuefi will
rde,
be fure'y allowed by my learned
tneud Tongue.
11 Zyeinow are awakened io fee their diflrtfi,
And the lofs they’ll latueut, too, as long as
thev live,
Of the grace and the wildont they uicd to pof
Idi,
And all the grave dignity Spectacles give.
“ My learned friend fays they are made with
4 llradd.e,
But what doe? this prove ; tho the faCt
may he fo i
Dees the hoi U; or the afs claim a right to the
laddie,
Bccaufe it fits clofe to his back ? furely no !
“ Let your lordfhip imagine no Eye* to a
face,
(For mjr learned friend’* inflame is here juft
in vtfi ted)
Are Spectacles worn or put on in this cafe ?
Not a nole in ail Lurope would dare to af
lert it. % *
“ 7 hat my clieot the Eyes rnay give way to a
nap
With the Spectacles on, is part all contra
diction :
But your lordfhip muft fee this occurs thro’
mithap :
That they’re wilfully clofed, is fl»j learned
frieud’s tCtiou.
“ Will your lordfliip but turn to the 5th Ed
ward the Third—
Au adt which undoubtedly fettle# the quef
tion,
And which Ihews that new trials were granted
and heard
m ,
Of lets moment than this, and lcf# weighty
at gel turn. •
“ Before I conclude, I appeal to the court—
And your lordfliip wtU mrely my argument
grant;
That il.e adlien commenc’d thro an envious
retort;
For the Nufe, as a Noie, cannot Spectacles
want.’*
So his lordfliip cried hem ! and then .'treked
down his lave .
And wheu all the court re confulered it
o’er,
They wiihed well to the plaintiff, they pitied
hi# cafe,
But could grant uo new trial thecaufeto
reftore
Yet, to make up all diff’fence his lordfliip pro- I
poied—
' “ That Eyes in (his cafe uo advantage
might lack—
That a g<af# flu;uld be Axed, where the but
ton# were doled,
3y a ribbon tufpeuded, blue, yellow, or
black.”
“ That tliis fliaP be deemed the foie right of the
Eyes,
To them and their farthefl defendants for
ever,
With ail the immunities thence to arife,
To t]iuz or to flare through, look clumfy or
clever.”

Torpedoes at an end.
Fulton’s plan of blowing up the liritiih navy,
with torpedoes, proves about as efficient
as that of 1VI1 Jcilerion's of' blowing a*wm !
the wooden wails ot Oil England with
guu boats ! —kxperituenta of the utility cf
TirpeJoct have lately been made in the har
bor or Newyork under the infpeJtion of a
committee appointed for that purpote. ..
1 he Eveuing Port gi ves the refulc a* follow* :
After nine days abortive experi
ments, for fome of the Committee
required this time for opening their
eyes.it is difeovered that the whole
fyftem is ufelefs. A fhip in fifteen
minutes can completely guard herfelf.
Mr. Fult«n made three experiments
with his Cable Cutter ; once he got
athwart the * Tenible’s hawfe, and
the tide ran fo ftrong, there he hung
till the crew of the Terrible lent a
hand to clear him. His two next
experiments were attempted in flack
water ; both failed. His Gun
Harpoon tired at a target thirty feet,
invariably ftrikes fideways — His An
chor Torpedoes refufe to ftand like
foldiers “ heads up” in the tide in
haft River, and are confidered as
harmiefs as fo many empty bread
barrels. For any of Fulton’s ma
chines to take effe&, it is neceflary
to go within twenty feet of a thip ;
and it was urged, as an objection,
that n® men, in a common boat,
would undertake fo dangerous an em
ployment ; that the guns of a fhip
muft inevitably deftroy them. Ful
ton confijered the fire as a trifle —
44 Gov. Lewis would find plough
boys enough to do it.” To convince
them of their error, a boat was an
chored about one huudred and fifty
yards off, and pieces of board put in
fo reprefent Fulton and his plough
boys, and one gun loaded with grapes
and cannister, fired at them. Poor
Fulton’s reprefentative had eighteen
ihot through him, and each of the
ploughboys eight or ten ; the boat
had almoft as many fhot in it as there
could have been flowed handfpikes.
Mr. Fulton is now unprepared for
iurther public experiment, but I am
told intend^ to continue them in pri
vate thefc two years, But this I pre
fume is the l'ft time the government
will be troubled with him, or you
with TRIPPE.

Mare Democratic Management,
u
FROM THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
Some one in the Spirit of’76 is exposing
the conduct of some of the principal officers
of the Navy Yard, and seems disposed to
consider it criminal to speculate on the
public. One of the head men there owns a
house which, the other day, was assessed at
the value of §400. The owner of the house
Has been reining it to the publick for the ac
Coinmodation of some of the Navy Yard con
cerns, at the rate of § 300 per annum.
Now 75 per cent interest on real estate
teems to be a little too much. Nothing
can justify it, but a consciousness of having
deserved well of the public, and a firm con
viction of the right such patriots have to
remunerate themselves when they have the
power. Ingratitude is the sin of repub
iicks ; and by paying one’s self, the land
may be freed from the sin.
Another officer hires a negro for 60 dol
lars per annum ; and lets him to a superior
officer for a dollor per diem. A fine spe
culation ; but public losses are private ben
efits.
If all the viie conduct which takes place at
the navy yard should be fully exposed, how
guilty would some patriots appear. Con
giv.ss ought to appoint a committee next
session thoroughly to investigate the
3ia*e of the Navy-Yard- So:ne thousands
might I** restored, and the expendi
ture of many thousands more might be pre
vented.

©its,
At Fryeburg, on the 23d ult. in the 77th
year of bis age, Capt. Verb Koyce, of
that place. He was born in Limerick,
(Ireland)—was designed by bis parents for
the desk, but not being pleased with that
profession, persuaded his father to purchase
a commission lor him in the army, and as a [
soldier of fortune he came to this country in 1
the time of the old French war ; was at
Braddock’s defeat, and there signalized
himself as a man of undaunted courage and
good conduct. When Quebec fell before
the victorious arms of Wolf, Capt. JRoyce
was among the victors. His superior olii
cers knew his collected firmness and iptre
piuuy, anu piacea Dim in a most responsi
ble situation. He did not deceive them,
but shared in the glory ot that memorable
day—he never knew fear, and bis obedi
ence to orders wa3 equal to his courage._
At the time of Braddock’s defeat he was
ordered with his company to oppose the en
emy, which he did until almost every man
was slam and himself wounded ; when dis
covered m that situation he was ordered to
retreat, and being asked why he thus jeop
ardized his own and the lives of his men,
replied, he was ordered to stand and light
.lie enemy, and that he had received no
counter-orders. He took no part in our
revolutionary war, but pursued bis favorite
study of mathematics, ;-nd has left a valua
ble system of arithmetic St sui veying. Ilo
.miuble mind and high sense of bun >r al
ways kept him within the strict rules of
ptopiieiy ; he practised the domestic and
social virtues, and happily discharged the j
duties of husband, parent and friend. More
i har. 500 persons in Ireland are dependent!
lor their support on a life lease which was 1
to terminate at his death.
In Newbury port Mr. Pan* Noyrt, aged 1
69 The maimer of his death was sudden !
and aillictive ; being near an old budding, |
(where he was bom,) which the workmen
were employed in puihng down, a part oi
the side wall, lined with brick, uaex, ec
tedl^ fell outward, and crushed him in so
sho. lunga manner, that he died in a few
hours.—He was a kind and peaceable
neighbor, a good citizen, and an honest
man.
