heart key, as i! were, TO be found in some one
of the senses. With one man it is the grosscr
sense Of the palate, and the things that he has
tasted; tho cup that he drank from in particular
lands and scenes, will, when again met with,
carry back the mind to earlier days, and the feel

Joseph z. C5aaa'r. EQ.
NrAU SIN: The United States Cir
cult Court, in and tor the New Jersey
District, commenced It's sitting To this
city, on Monday the ri INST, JUDGE
Baldwin presiding. Two or three
causes Of interest were decided dnring
the term, which closed on the 18Th
nytant-onc of the principal interest
was tie case Of Bet, a slave belong
ing to a Mr., Calbrcth, citizen Of Ma
ryland. 'Fhe case excited great inte-
rest, and occupied the attention Of the
court and jury for eight days, during
which time there were between
twentyand thirty witnesses examined.
1t appeared III evidence that the
slave ran away from her master, and
came to this state in 1884; hcf mas
ter ascertalned some time Afterwards
that she was in the county OF Salem,
near the town Of Salem, and had her
aPprchcnded and brought into Salem
with the intention of proving his prop
crty. benjamin Griscom and five
Others Of the most respectable citizens
OF Salem interiered and took by force
the slave from her masters custody.
The action was brought for tres
pass and the damages laid at $4,000.
Messrs. Southland and Green were
counsel for the plaintiff, and FreIing-
huysen and letters for the defendants.
The counsel on both sides acquitted
themselves with great ability. Mr..
Southland occupied the attention of
the court and jury for six hours, dur
ing which time the court room was
after Mr.. Southland had closed his re-
marks, his Honor Judge Baldwin,
charged the jury, the delivery ofwhich
occupied near two hours; after the
charge, the jury retired; being absent
about one hour, they returned into
court with a verdict of guilty against
all defendants; and assessed the dam
ages at $1,000. There neverhas been
a cause tried in this city that produced
more interest, it involving the right
property. You will find by the YER
dict that the jury, though opposed to
slavery, have sustained the constitu-
tlon OF the United States, and the
masters right to his property. The

stated ia one Of our exchange papers
that Mr.. Thomas French, Of ithaca,
New York, IS constructing o printing
press which, from the description
Given Of -. is as superior % the steam
presses at present IN operation, It's the
latter are TO the old fashioned hand
presses used by printers in the days
of Franklin. If the press will work
as it is represented to do by the writer
of the subjoined description, il will
.astonish the professors Of the "black
art as much as did the first steam
boat on the Mississippi the aboriginal
sdwelIers on the banks of the Father
of Waters. We strongly incline,
however, to the belief that after the
nye9tor Of this great printing mill
has exhausted his capital, and wasted
mucMot his time, in its construction.
he wll find some triAing deficiency
which cannot be supplied, and which
will sender the whole apparatus to-
tally Useless. We remember having
6eald Of a very ingenious parsonage,
who attempted To. make a machine
fWhlch&geatrtss Voc After he had
Icmployedsoyeral months time and a
round sum Of money in the fabrica-
ton Of his apparatus, a friend of his
inquired whether his machine would
set type. He replied that sit would
do 50, if he could remeey one single
defect, VIZ; if he could oniy teach the
machine to read the copy" but that
this small deficiency in the apparatus
would probably render it totally use
less. The tolIowingi is the description
given of the machine above alluded
to, by the "Jerseyman:"
The press takes the paper imme.
diately from the paper machine,
prints it on both sides, and passes ii
through drying cylinders, which press
1t smooth; thus in one operation, and
within the space of three minutes,
the pulp Is taken from the mill AMI a
book OF $50 pages is ready for the
binder, The paper is printed in one
continuous sheet; thus whole edi.
ton can readily be printed, rolled up,
and sent any distance. Mr.. French
had on his press 'Cobb'S Juvenile
Reader OF PIC pages, of which he
presented us sheet Of about seventy
feet, neatly printed; and which can
be examined at our office.
I This new printing machine will
cause a complete revolution in the art
Ioi printing, and greatly diminish the
price of standard works and school
{ books. Hereafter, we SUSPECT, or.
ders will be given for bibles, spelling
books, &c, by the NILE, instead of the
