MECHANICS.

1t is Il mistaken notion, rather too prev
alent in fashionable society and among the
silk stocking gentry as the phrase goes,
derived from the false distinctions Of mon
arches, that mechanical professions are
mental and beneath the dignity and station
of a true gentleman. Nothing can be more
absurd. The truth is they are the only
profession that have substance and reality
and practical utility. All else, on reAec-
ton, seems to be more speculation-ideali
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and prunella." =
The greatest men in the annals Of this
world, says a modern writer,-the men
that have done most to enlghten it and
advance the prosperity and liberties of the
human race, have been mechanics. 1t is
the drectnesS Of mind-the plain good
sense their pursuits inculcate, which has
led to those immortal discoveries that have
enriched and amelorated the condition of
the whole human race. Name but an
Arkwright, Fulton, Watt, Franklin,
Whitney, &c. &c. and where among the
choicest men.the academicians, doctrinarieS
do YOU find their equal! True, Newton,
Laplace, Guy Lussac, Davy, &c. have dis
covered great principles-but nothing that
compares with the comprehensive useful
ness that has come from the Inventions OF
mechanic minds Let the sickly races OF
a pampered nobility turn up their noses at
mechanics as they do at merchants. Ii is
to the rorking men only that the "rod of
empire has been given; and the revolu-
tons on the globe from mechanic inventions
ofsteam and the press and which are hourly
advancing with a pace that excites aston
ment, prove incontestibly that the progress
of the mind, of human liberty and civiliza-
ton, and of mechanic labor are indlssolubly
welded. Danrtfe De"'.

BAD NEWS FOR ROGUEs AND FUGITIVEs
FROM JUsTIcE.--Three Acts. intimately
connected with commercial affair, passed
the British Parliament this last session,
which are looked upon as being likely to
effect complete alteration in the mode of
conducting business. These are the mer-
chant and factors bill, the insolvent and
bankrupt laws; these, taken in connection
with the tenth article of the American
treaty, bid fair to work quite a revolution
in the law of debtor and creditor. 1t has
never happened, Of late, that among ma
tons protesting themselves to be free, such
power has been mutually allowed. If a
debtor flee to any of the continental coun-
tries, it is owing only to an information OF
the passport, or technichality of the law,
that any redress could be obtained by the
foreign creditor; and, fraudulent swind-
Ter could but get footing in the United
States, the creditors might be set at def
ance. Henceforth the situation of the par
ties will be wholly reversed: an individual
guilty of crime which is punishable in
the one country will be given to the other.
Complaints have been made of the facilities
which, by our new acts, have been given
to debtors; but if they be thoroughly ex-
amined, it will be seen, that the creditors
have not lost one atom of the power which
they formerly possessed, and by the treaty
now to be ratified with America, much in
ducement, which has heretofore been held
out, will be at an end

CALoMEL.-The following extract is
from the lectures of N. Chapman, M. d.
Professor of the Institutes and Practice of
Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania
located in Philadelphia. He thus discour-
seth on the use of calomel:-
Gentlemen:--If you could see what
almost daily see in my private practice in
this city, persons from the south, in the
very last stages of wretched existence,
emaciated to a skeleton; with both tables of
the skull almost completely perforated in
many places; the nose half gone, with rot
ton Jaws, liberated threats, breaths more
pestiferous more intolerable than poisonous
upas, limbs racked with pains of the in
QUESTION, minds as imbecile as the babe, a
grevious burden to themselves, and dis
gushing spectacle to others, you would
exclaim, as have often done, 90! the
lamentable want of science that dicates the
abuse of that noxious drug, calomel in the
southern states! Gentlemen, it is disgrace :
fnl reproach to the profession of medicine;
it is quackery, horrid, unwaranted, MUIR
derous quackery.
What merit do gentlemen of the south
fatter themselves they possess, by being
able to sallvate a patient? Cannot the We
riest fool in christomdom salivate-give
calomel? But will ask another question
Who is it that can stop the career of NOR
curry, at will, after he has taken the reins
in his own destructive and ungovernable
hands? He, who, for an ordinary cause
resigns the fate of the patient to mercury;
is vile enemy to the sick; and if he is to-
lerably popular, will, in one successful sea-
son. have paved the way for the business
of life; for he has enough to do ever after
wards to stop the mercuricl breach Of the
constitutions Of his dilapidated patients. He
has thrown himself in fearful proximity to
death, and has now to fight him at arms
length as long as the patient maintains u
miserable existence"

The principles of Association or system
of Fourier, which are now receiving consid-
cradle attention in some portions of the u.
States, have recently been put into practical
operation on limited scale in the South
The theory of Fourier is based upon Joint
stock, property, unity Of interest, and con-
cert of action. The following is an extract
from the N. Y. Tribune:
" Gen. ABBOTT II. BRISBANE. of Geor-
gla, gentleman of distinguished attain
ments and high standing, has constructed a
Railroad rs miles in length, between the
Ocmulgee and the Flint rivers, with force
of one hundred and fifty laborers, who, in
stead OF being paid a paltry amount of wa
ges for their labor, which are generally
squandered as soon as received, in a use
less and often pernicious manner, have ia
ken the stock of the Railroad for their la
Dor, and are now the principal owners of
the road.
This important work connects the Allan
tic with the Gulf of Mexico, an object
which the General Government has desired
to accomplish for the last twenty years, but
without having executed it.
Gen. BRISBANE, while engaged in sur
veying routes for communication of the
kind, under the late Gen. Bernard, had his
attention called by that great engineer to
the importance and feasibility of the route
upon which he had constructed his road
Fifteen years later-that is, in 1899; Gen.
BRISBANE decided upon undertaking the
work himself. He awaited himself of o.
Charter granted by the State of Georgia a
number of years before. of which he be-
came the proprietor. He collected in the
city of Charleston thirty Irish laborers, who
were thrown out of work by the difficulties
of the times, and led them to the field of
operations; there were great many obsta-
Giles to surmOunt at the commencement, but
by energy and perseverance they were ov-
ercome, and the number of laborers were
soon increased to one hundred and fifty
The General furnished the means of sup
PORTRAIT is, food and clothng-for the
men while they are engaged, and they took
Stock. The time which they have been
engaged in constructing the work is twenty
months, and the sum Of money which has
been required to support the men is but
$4,000.
Here is Il grand result, seventy-six miles
of Railroad built with cash capital of Sl5-
900, and the laborers owners of the road.
The cars will be run for time on wooden
rails, which have been laid down, and with
horses, at the rate of ten miles an hour,
until, out Of the profits of the road, iron
rails can be substituted.

POLITICS.

There ought to be something enrolling
in politics, since, legitimately, they con-
Germ the cavil, and measurably, the moral
well-being of man; but we much fear that
the legitimate aim of politics is fast being
lost sight of among American people
Were evidence of this wanting, it could be
supplied to any incredulous person who
will attend a Wing meeting in almost any
section of the Union. Instead of that se-
date, sober bearing which should charac-
terize men, solicitous fort the preservation of
claw and Order" for the dignity of hui
man nature-for the purity of legislation
and the preservation Of human liberty--a
person visiting Wing gatherings, will be-
hold in prominent position, thievish and
sinking coon; and instead of hearing cam
did appeals TO the judgment, his ears will be
greeted with the most stupid doggerels.-
Witness the recent gathering of Wings in
New \ DIRK city, at which such stupid stuff
as the following was participated in by U.
S. Senators, and other dignities. We give
a couple stanzas as sample. Thus.
AS went out by the light of the moon,
So merrily singing this same tune,
come the same old coon,
A sitting rail,
Wild one eye awake.
AT the coon SLY did peep,
And so soft to him did creep,
Says |, old coon bese you asleep,
No, am only laying low,
To what can see.
What an elevated employment it must
for aged men occupying the highest station
in the land, to engage in such an exhibit
ton! Besides, what noble exhibition it
is setting to the youth of the republic. Are,
these men SO lost to self respect-so care
less Of their country's honor--so reckless
of the consequences which their example
may involve by leading the young to re-
gard politics as species of bufioonry, that
their bosoms feel no 'scompunciious visit
ings of conscience" for making fools Of
themselves Is such conduct becoming the
conduct of Washington, Jefferson and
Franklin? If it is, most egregrious we
have mistaken the true dignity Of politics,
and what is proper in an American citizen.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

BY AUGUSTUS sNoDGRAss.
ONWARD, onward, and forever,
Swiftly, ceaslng never,
Down life's silent, restless river,
All are sailing.
Now the pillows wanton gladly,
Or in whirlpools lnger sadly,
Then burst, threat ming forward madly,
High and railing,
On its bank bloom fairest flowers;
Curling vines are wove in bowers,
Where enchanting dance the hours,
As we linger.
Or dark mountains skyward peeping,
Forests deep, in silence sleeping,
Where is sadness Fate paints weeping,
On finger.
Countless myriads onward driven,
Souls Observation-Disclosures
Seek the distant unknown haven,
Each inherits.
fearful, smiling-cursing, praying,
Onward, onward. nee delaying,
From our last home never straying,
Move our spirits
To the graveyard, onward ever,
Lingering sadly, ceas;ng never,
Down life's silent, restless river.
Pass we slowly.
Sail on firmly-nought repining-
Life is but meteor shining
And within your homes reclining,
Slumber holy.
