NEW. CEMENT.

A Mr.. Jeffrey has discovered new cement said
to be much cheaper and better than glue. 1t is
composed Of sheac and India rubber dissolved in
Naptha. number of experiments were tried
with it in England. In one of them, two pieces
OF teak an oily African wood, very difficult to H.
mite with G ue, were cemented with this substance
and afterwards force OF twenty-one tons applied
without separating the pieces. Heavy oak plank
eight inches thick, We're glued together with it,
and fred at repeatedly by well charged and point
ed cannon. The shot tore the wood but did not
affect the cement. A six-inch hole was then
bored into the plank and shell exploded within
1t. L he wood was torn to shvers, but the &C.
ment remained unframed. If it really posses.
ses such adhesive power, it will prove valuable
discovery.

LUCK is A FoRTRNE.-We have just received

a man named John Baptiste DeLise,, was the
owner OF 20 arpens of land upon which the whole
city Of Jefferson, in Missouri, is built; and that
in 1911 or 'I2 he left Vincennes on a keel for
Pittsburg, at which place he enlisted in the Uni
ted States army, and only returned short time
since TO Vincennes. He had not been heard from
since the time he left Vincennes until he return
ed. His sisters, acting under the belief that he
was dead, sold the land to Major Barry, of Mis-

and Major Dawson, of New Madrid, have pur-
chased from him the land and intend to set up
their claim to it Immediately. MIR. Leisieur and
Major Dawson can go to Jefferson City this win

claim to portion Of Jefferson City, but, upon
full investigation of the subject by committee OF
the Legislature of Missouri, the claim was repor-

There can be no doubt that Great Britain is
straining every nerve to render her manufacturers
independent Of the American Cotton growers.
We take the following paragraph from the Bal.
timore American of Monday:
'The Boston Journal says that Mr. Ellis has
lately been sent on a diplomatic mission from
Great Britain to Brazil, and it is suggested in
some of the English papers that he is authorized
to look closely into the subject of the culture of
Cotton in that country, with a view to ENCOURAGE
its production, and thus diminish the demand for
American Cotton. Some Of the English papers
are also declainng against the inconsistency of
prohibiting the use of sAnpe-made sugars, and at
the same time encouraging the slave-cultivated
Cotton of the United States. late number of
the Liverpool Mail has violent article on this
subject
ut is evident, from these and other circumstan-
ces. that the cultivation Of Cotton at the South
VIII never be greater than at present-but will
probably decine-as the amount produced can

mand This anticipation is already creating a.

WESTERN ASYLUM.

We were not q little surprized and grotifcd,
on late visit to our I.unatic Asylum, to see
that a portion Of the male patients had found
a new means Of amusement and excrcise-and
one with which they seem to be particularly

company and, some thirty or more of them,
were

times week, and are makints POO

ments. so far as they attempt any thing en- mi-
litaire, arc, to be sure, rather fantasiical; but
there is an extravaganza of taste allowed to
soldiers, and we do not see why our friends
at the Asylum should not be equally privi-
legged.
