Loa7iag Ships-We advise every one in terested in the progress of events in this city (New Y orll) to go to pier No. 1, North river The large ship Russell! Glover is at that pier and Captain Howes began the operation 0 loading her one day last week While hi stevedores were engaged in the slow process of slowing away the cargo, live Yankee standing five feet eight inches in his boots stepped up to Captain Howes, and said
 ''l rather guess, stranger, 1t takes some time to load ship with them 'are men, don'l ii p
 "Why, ycs," replied the captain, '' it takes
 " Ton don't sayl' said the Yanl<ee.-- !" Well, will tell you what il is l can load this ship in day, and no mistale.n
 on canm exclaimed Captain Howes, giving the Yankee look, and putting on one oi his most eomical smiles.
 Yes,p continued the Yankee. s.I have got critter that will throw them goods into your ship in less than no time and guess fll try, if yolphave no obection.o
 None in the least,o said the captain, looking rather dubiously on the Yankee. 'If you wish to load the ship, you can.o
 Early next morning, much to the astonish- ment of Captain Howes, who thought he should never see the Yankee again, a curious looking machine, somewhat like locemo- tive in appearance, came down to the pier with the live Yankee on top, getiingnp steam He ran 1t close up to the ship, arranged the tackle, and commenced hoistng in the cargo with puii--puii-pufi--belore the captain, crew, or stevedores had time to collect toge- ther their scattered senses; and there the lit- tie steam engine, attended by the Yankee, is now al work, pulling as saucily as locomo- tive, tipping bales and boxes into the hold of the Russell Glover, almost ton weight at each puff, with more ease, with greater lacil- ty, and three times as fast as the steVedores, with horses, could do before the live Yankee made the acquaintance of Captain Howes. It has been found impossible to stow the goods away as fast as the steam engine tips them in.
 This machine is great improvement on the old system. IL saves time; and, in that way, saves money; and 1t not only saves time, but 1t saves men also. Not so many, by one-half, are necessary to load ship; and thus money is saved, both in time and labor. N r. Herald.

fl Legat Pmador.--An e]ectment case, tried at the present circuit court, presented this result The defendant paid for piece of land by per acre. There was dispute about the boundary, and his neighbor sued him. It was found he had purchased wiTffI- out coming on the disputed territory. He was beaten. He then recovered back from his grantor, on his warranty, part of his pnr- chase money. A new trial was obtained in the ejectment suit, and he is now successful in that. So that, in the first place, he gets land which he did not buy; in the next place, makes another man pay for 1t; and finally, holds both the land and the money This goes beyond the famous cracked kettle case, in which the borrower said lie should prove firstly, that he never had it; secondly it was cracked vixen he got it; and thirdly it was whole when he returned 1t.

Ew1y Printing in .amcrica.-It seems somewhat strange to us at this day, that the first book printed in America, should have been published at the city of Mexico. This was il l5f1. The book was in the Spanish tongue. It was nearly century after this, in 1889, that the first volume, an almanac, was printed in New England. Times have chang el since then.

.Acid on Wood-Hs Eject on SaH and Butter.-It has been frequently remarked by
 those who are in the habit of packing butter, that it is kept best put down in stone; the next best in oak or white ash frkins, the wood of which had been boiled for several hours previous to working, and that butter in unprepared wood, frequently acquired a strong and disagreeabie flavor, which seri- ously injured its quality. The reason of this has not been generally understood. Mr. Moir, of Scotland, has been insttuting se- ries of experiments on the subject, which ap- pear to have thrown some light on the mat ter He found that most kinds of wood con- tained considerable quantities of pyrohgnic acid, which decomposes the salt with which 1t comes in contact. The linden or bass wood, was the only wood he found entirely free, but the other kinds he experimented up- on, were easily freed from the acid by boil ing three or four hours, well pressed under water It is evident that frkins made ol slaves prepared in this way, would be decid- edly improved, and as the preservation oi butter in a sweet and pure stateis an impor- tant matter of the dairyman, we think much would be gained by proper attention to the vessels in which it is packed.
