A friend has handed us an account OF an i'm
provement in the Planking Kettle Of Hatters,
which, if adopted into general use, will serve
the purposes of economy and convenience to
manufacturers. By the means oil this Kettle,
Lehigh and other coal are used instead OF wood
with equal ease, and with saving OF more than
fifty per cent as to fYel. The inventor S name
is Joyce, and many respectable ha'ters in New
York now use the improved kettle. Its princi-
pie can easily be applied to heating of water
for ,anneries, breweries, and factories.

We have all along known that MIR. Randolph
prevented the publication Of his Speeches, but
we obtained our information from source
which we did not choose to appeal 10, although
it was unquestionabc. His celebrated speech
which induced Mr. Clay to call him to the field,
was suppressed after greater part Of it was
in type; and while the Telegraph was daily in
sinuating that the National In,elligencer was
in fault, aud charging the administration with
procuring the suppression of the speeches, Mr.,
Benton, Mr. Eaton, and Mr.. Calhoun, who su-
pcrintend the Editorial Department, were fully
apprised Of the true state of the fact, and vet
alo,ced their agent Dr9 Green TO make'faIse re-
presentations to deceive the people. But when
the truth came out, as we knew ii would, these
honorable gentlemen found it indispensably ne
cessary TO break their silence--with what grace

bark that floaled on the stream ii quickly dispersed
the fever Of the Indian. He returned perfectly well
to his friends, and having mentioned the manner in
which he was cured, the afflicted Aocked in crowds
to the holy stream. The more intelligent of the
tribe, however, discovered the reason OF the medical
virtue OF the water. In 1910. the lady of the vice
