to parties, more or less distinctly defined. That
IS, men who think alike, will act torether under
some common name. But the existence of sucb
parties is something very different from the Gre
ation OF faction, united for selfish purposes.
and pledged to mutual support, under every ex-
treInity. The man, who attempts to form such
faction, must be conscious of evil desirns-He
can have but little confidence in the strength of
his arguments, who wishes to carry a measure
by the violence of passion. But it is so much
easier TO give an opponent an ill name, than to
answer his reasons, that il is not wonderful that
many are willing to CRAFTY at once their indo-
lence and malice by connecting themselves with
powerful faction. They can rail at their op-
ponents instead ofreplying to their arguments.
There are some among us,-happily the num-
Der is small-who are DESTROYS OF keeping to-
gether an organized faction. Parties will not
readily exist without real difference of opin-
ion J; but faction may be created at any time,
as regular troops may be raised and embodied
III time of peace. The design of these men is
to raise their value in the market. On the
breaking out of war, mere citizen bears only J
his individual aid TO the cause he espouses; but |
the officer of a standing army may bring with |
hum his regiment. He expects therefore more
pdy and ration.

LIFE PRESERVING MATTRESSES.

Mention has lately been made in New York
Of Life Preserving Mattress, said to be invent
ed BY a Mr.. JACKSON, of that city.
We conceive it proper to state, that Mat
tress, with the same object, was on board the
ship Milo, Capt Glover, when on her passage
from Boston to Liverpool in 1916. 1t was own
cd, and put on by Capt. Caleb Bates and ex-
hibited in the presence of number of respecta-
bic passengers-and SO strong has been the i'm
preston on Capt Gover's mind Of its compe-
tency, that few weeks since before the ac-
count from New York came to HANDY he order
ed several to be made for the Boston and Liver
pool line Of ships. Whether the invention was
claimed by Capt. Bates, or attributed TO some
other person, is uncertain. The buoyant SUBJ
stance used was cork shayngs-and the fasten-
ings were similar to those described at N. York.

II Duetist punished !-' In 1898, the Prussian
officers OF the garrisonof Cobers established an
economical mess, OF which certain poor emf
grants were glad to partake. They observed
one day an old major Of hussars, who was cover
ed with the scars of wounds received ia the
seven years war, and half hidden by enormous
grey mustachoes The conversation turned on
duets. young stout-built cornet began to
prate in an authoritative tone on the subject
: And you, Major, how many duels have you

wounds, and, Heaven be praised, they are net

exclaimed the cornet, reaching across to give
hun blow. But the sacrilegious hand did not
touch the old mustachios. The major, agitated,
grasped the table TO assist him in rising, when
unanimous cry was raised, Don't stir, Mr. Ma |

Improvement IN .Naval Architecture


Recently the public have been much rratiied
and astonlshed, at the exhibition Of al Iron
Steam Boat IN the river Thames. A large par.
ty OF distinguished Naval Officers and Eo@in-
GERS, d Servants, embarked at ParliamentStairS
on board the Aaron, Iron Steam Boat. which
Immediately got under weigh, and proceeded TO
Battersca Bridge; she then descended 10 Black
friars, and maneuyered for several hours he
tween the bridges in very superior STYLE.
This Steam Boat was built at the Horslev Iron
Works, by Mr. Manly, and put together II
Rotherhithe. She is the most complete piece Of
workmanship in the iron way that has ever been
witnessed, and draws one foot water less than
any Steam Boat that has ever been built. She
is 100 feet long, and II broad, and is propelIed
by 80 horse engine, and Oldham's REVOLVING
oars, the most perfect piece Of mechanism that
has yet been adopted in Steam Boats. The
great advantage of these oars is their entering
and leaving the water edgeways, by which
means no power is lost !; and they are particu-
larry useful In rivers, with narrow BRIDGES. as
they occupy little more than half the breath Of
the common wheel. We have no doubt but the
iron Boats will be generally adopted, psrticu-
larry where small draft of water i necessary.
Another advantage they have over Steam Boats
IN general, is their perfect safety from fire, and
uncommon steadiness under the engine. This
boat Will leave London in few DAYS for Paris.

A gentle hint to any, who may happen to
mscount any of Uncle Sans dollars.
An eastern monarch, beloved BY his people,
passed severe edict against those in his pay,
who should take any unlawful fees, or even ac-
cept Of present.
"A Fisherman had taken fish Of extraordinary
size and beauty, and resolved to present it with
his own hand to the Emperor. lie arrived at

Majesty. The Porter refused him admlttancc,
without he would give him something handsome
for the favor. The poor Fisherman plead the
we'll known laws of the Emperor, free admit
lance to all. He plead and plead in vain. The
distressed Fisherman, after trying various eX-
pedients, made bargain and entered. The
palace was crowded, and all were delighted with
the beautiful fish. The Emperor asked the
price. He answered, came TO present il to
your Majesty. You are dutiful subject, but /

You must take something. | cannot. Then
you shall. The word shall from your Majesty,
am bound to obey but there is but one kind OF
paw / lcW receive, and that is fifty stripes on my
naked back with the bastinado. The court were
struck with astonishment The Emperor again
offered paw. He still refused. Says the En-
peror, he is mad man let him be gratihed
but do not strike him hard. The court assembled
in the palace yard to view this novel scene.
! After he had received twenty five lashes, he
cries, hold. But you have received only hal
your number. True, said the fisherman, bu
you must know have partner in this business
The Porter at the gate refused admittance

fish.
1t is needless to say the Porter had full jus
tice done him, and that the Fisherman did no
so away unrewarded.

was discovered that his wares were rather too

made, having been sawed the wrong way Of the
