1t is said that crime OF every grade and
description, is rapidly on the increase
among Us. What is the reason. II cam
not be ignorance, the great promoter of
fraud, Tor as people We are Intelligent
more 50 than any other nation in the world
To what then can we ascribe this retro
grade movement in morals! There is
cauSe-wouId it not be wise to find it out!
For ourSelf, we believe that idleness and
luxury have produced this state Of things.
In good old times. men worked steadily
with their hands for meat and raimenI;
they were contentcd and happy in their diff
Ierent pursuits and PAID honestly their debts
and felt an inward satisfaction in doing so.
There were but few drones in the hive
polite in those days; to be an idler wheth-
or rich or poor, was TO be a vagobond; la
Dor was esteemed blessing, and not as
men define it now, a curse. The nation
was prosperous then; wealth flowed in RI
vcrs among our people why this sud-
den bankruptcy!
Let us take a case from real life and ap-
ply it, We were walking in Broadway ii
few days since. and encountered magni-
fcicnt carriage with servants in livery
1t belonged to Wall street broker. His
father was farmer in neIghboring State;
he had nothing to give his son but sub
siStcncc, for which he must scrape the face
of mother earth. This our hero was not
disposed to do, and so he left the old home
stead to seek fortune. For time he
was clerk in little grocery store, but soon
obtained a situation in a lottery Office
Then he became partner. and at length
proprietor OF lotteries. which it a few years
Welded him one hundred thousand dollars.
With this sum he came TO New York and
entered Wall street, from which he retired
about three years since with fortune OF
half a million. He is now an elegant gen.
,leman Of leisure, aud rolls about in his
splendid coach. with his arms embroidered
on the hammer cloth.
Now in the name Of justice, what has
this man done that he should live in indo-
lence and luxury, while thousands around
him live the life Of bruites, nay,worse than
bruites, toiling from sunrise TO sunset for
the scanty loaf which they eat
WHY, he has sold little bits of worthless

Visit to the Hermitage.-The Rev. ].
y. Peck, one of the editors of the Baptist
Banner and Western Pioneer says:
On Tuesday we returned to Nashville. -
Our route lay by the Hermitage, and we
embraced the opportunity to call on the
venerable eX-president of the United States.
Having a letter Of introduction from one
of Gen. Jacksnn's particular friends, we
were most kindly and Hospitality received.
In politics wo have the enviablc privilege
Of sitting on the fence unmoved by all
the commotlon of party feeling that RACES
around, consequently we had no political
predictions to crafty, no party antipa-
thies to disturb us
We found the General confined to his
room with Il cold and oppression of the
lungs, for which he had been bled the pre-
cedng day.
Hence he appeared feeble, and looked OIL
der than We expected to find him. 1e: his
conversation was animated, and his opin
ion of men and things expressed with great
trankncss. With the view OF seeing the
workings of a mind Of no ordinary powers
and which for many years has commanded
the attention, II not the respect Of the world,
we introduced the subject OF politics. What
was said, and what the views he expressed
about men and things, is no business Of the
reader. Enough was said however 10 CON-
firm the impression. that General jackson,
whether right or wrong. possesses no or
dipary mind. lie certainly will rank
among the great men Of the age. Poste-
rty VIII SO regard him.
We spent an hour and 4 half in his COM
pany with unusual satisfaction. Various
topics of conversation were introduced
the condition Of the country, that of Eng
land and other European countries, the
advance of arts, public morals, education,
and last, though not least, religion. On
this subject he spoke freely, and with due
reverence and soLcmnity, as the richest
blessing man could enioy-as the only sup
port the mind can have in old age. Re-
peatedIv he expressed his satisfaction at
our call on him add urged our stay to din
ncr. This we declined He is necessar-
" much throngcd and we should really
suppose annoyed, with company. Hun
deeds, nay thousands, in year call al the
Hermitage.
On arising to depart, for we had en-
gagged to be IN Nashville at 3 o'clock( we
gave him the parting hand, expressing the
qualification we had received from the IN
terview, and impIoring the blessings Of
Heaven upon the remnant of his days, with
the sincere hope that we might meet in
Heaven. His voice trembled with emotion
while he graSped our hand firmly and said,
My dear sir, thank you--l thank YOU

THE ERAOLITE.

A NeU hrenti0n.-This is a new in
strument of the most ingenious invention,
and Of great Importance to science. The
purpose it is intended for is TO ascertain,
TO a mathematical certainty, Of an irrigu-
lar surface, or the square of circle. Ii
is of material use to surveyors, who by
means Of it can can ascertain the exact
contents of any given plot, no matter how
irregular, 1t is iscertainng the surface
upon the known principles of ascertaining
solids. We have all heard Of giving the
number Of cubic inches in a handful Of
brush, by placing the same in water, and
measuring the amount displaced. This in
strument acts upon the same principle in
regard to surfaces. 1t consists of plates
of glass, of very even and regular surfa-
ces, placed together in frame, so clsre to-
gethcr us 10 admit only piece Of common
drawing paper between them. 1t is of
rectangular form and closed on three sides,
the fourth being open 10 admit a given a
mount Of quicksilver. The area within
the frame, occupied by the quicksilver is
out on the paper is then introduced, and
INC Sp"CC oct"Ccu inc SdSS plates oelnS
no greater than the thickness Of the paper,
the quicksilver is displaced, as water would
be in Il vessel in which any solid is intro
! duced. The area now occupied by the
quicksilver. with the plot in lis midst, is
measured and ascertained, and the differ
ence between this and that occupied by the
quicksilver alone, gives the exact area Of
the plot.
1t is the invention Of DR. Thomas Wood,
Of Smthfeld, Jefferson county Ohio, who
has secured his invention by patent 1t has
been adopted by the legislature Of Ohio,
for the State Surveyors, The Franklin
Institute, Of Pennsylvania, have presented
medal 10 DR.. Wood for his invention, az
ter careful examination Of the ins:ru-
ment, TO which they gave in a certifcte,
the most unqualified recommendation. 1t
is one Of those simple inventions that

simple inventions are, upon the principles
Of truth; produces admiration and convic-
ton at first sigh..-Pttsburgh Daily A.

of the manor himself must look little from the

CENTRAL AMERIcA--Stephens and Cath
erv0od. We learn by gentle man from
Central America, that Messrs. Stephens
and Catherwood had been for several
weeks busily employed among the ruins Of
Urmal, but had been compelled to leave a
few weeks previously 10 his departure in
consequence Of illness. We also learn
that these ruins belong to Don SIMON PEoN,
whose Hacienda our travellers made their
head quarters, and by whom they were au-
thoriZed TO remove any portion OF the ru-
ms they thought proper. Under this au-
thority. they had collected and forwarded
10 the coast, a large quantity Of the sculp-
ture, together with the identical Initial Of
wood of which Mr. Stephens speaks in his
book as being beautifully sculptured, and
in a rema rkabe state Of preservation.

THE BAMBoo.--Thc bamboo is native
Of the hottest regions Of Asia. 1t is like
wise 10 be found in America, but not in
that abundance with which ii nourishes i'm
the old world. 1t is never brought into this
country in sufficient supply for any useful
purposes, being rather an object Of curiosi-
ty than utility. But in the countries of its
useful plants. There are about fifty va
rieties," says Mr.. Loudon, in his Botani-
cal Dictionary, "of the Arundo Bamboo,
each OF the most rapid growth, rising from
fifty to eighty feet the first year, and the
second perfecting its timber in hardness
and elasticity. 1t grows in stools which
are cut every two years. The quantity Of
timber furnished by an acre Of bamboo is
immense. Its uses are almost without end.
Ia building, 1t forms almost entire houses
for the lower orders, and enters both into
the construction and furniture Of those Of
the higher classes. BRIGGS, boots, masts,
rigging. agricultural and other implements
and machinery, carts, baskets, ropes, nets,
sail-cloth, cups pitchers, trouShs, pipes for
convey wing water, pumps, fences for gar
dens aad fields, &c. are made of it. Ma
cerated in water it forms paper: the leaves
are generally put around the tea sent TO
Europe: the thick lnspissated juice is ia

tructibIe by fire, TO resist acids, and, by fu.

THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.

TIE Legislature of Maine convened at
Augusta on Wednesday last. Gov. Fair
fields message was transmitted to both
houses on the same day. This session, 1t
is known, was called, by the suggestion of
the head of the general government. for
the purpose of appointing commissioners
to take part in the negotiations into which
Lord Ashburton is authorized by the Brit
lsh Government TO enter for the settlement
of the North Eastern boundary question.
and the governor confined himself entirely
to that subject. He is of opinion that
Maine can never consent 10 have the Ques-
ton submitted to arbitration, and that she
will consent to no adjustment Of the boun-
dairy which does not recognize for the ba-
sis the fact that the line now claimed by
her (that described in the treaty of 1888. J
is the right one. This treaty line he says
"we know to be practicable one, our
claim to the whole Territory embraced
within that line we know to be iust-and
after the course that has been pursued in
regard to it, we have a conviction not 10 be
shaken, that we could not honotaJly reIn-
quish Il part TO claim an undisputed rghi
10 the remainder. Buff if Great Britain is
prepared TO substa ntially yield the point of
title, and offer US fair equivalent IN other
Territory, privileges of navigation, &c.
for portion Of this Territory, as am at
present disposed TO believe, | do not see
Why this ycxed question may not be put
forever at rest. And it is difficult, TO per-
ceive how Maine, is thus consulting her
interest, would compromt her honor.
We have no doubt that Gov. Fairfield's
views will meet the appreciation Of the leg
islature, as we'll as the people, and that
commissioners, with authority TO agree to
the arrangement referred to in the preccd
ing extract, will soon be on their way to
" ashington. If the boundary troubles
are not now amicably adjusted, they never
will be.-.B0StOn Post.
