ALL THE PIETY, REsPEcTABILITY AND
THE MISUNDERSTANDING is more common
with the Wing press, than for them to claim
for their party all the responsibility, decency
and religion extant, but we seldom see such
a shameless and slanderous declaration as
the following which we find in late num-
Der of the Milwaukee Sentinel, edited by
professor of religion.
"The Wing Press, as general thing in
the United States, is enlisted in the cause of
good morals, learning and benevolence.-
Amongst their party they find enrolled al
most the whole of the clergy of the United
States. A Locofoco minister is about as
rare as white crow. For clergymen to
be locofoco, is to be without influence g.
without respect. The moment he is known
to hold the opinions Of that party, his piety
is questioned, and his sincerity more than
questioned" Mil,oaukee Courier.

The New York Mirror speaks Of the new
invention in that city for braidng Tuscan
straw bonnets by machinery. 1t says, that
as a piece of mechanism alone, it is wonder
ful-with movements apparently innumerable
wheels within wheels, and secret springs
artfully concealed-sach performing its flnc.
tions with perfect accurateness and nicely,
with scarcely any friction, and all produced
by the simple turning Of wheel which a
child could do with ease, and the result is, a
braid evenly and beautifully made, and far
exceeding in its workmanship any hitherto
imported from Tuscany.
Nor is the advantage alone in the superio-
rity Of the work, but this machine produces
about sixty yards per day, quantity suffi-
cient for bonnet, just as much as it would
take sixteen girls to produce in the same
time, so that the benefit will result to the
public, as The price of the material will he
proportionably reduced-probably to one
half of its present value. The cost Of the
machine does not exceed $3.50.

TAMERLANE.-In early life, and when re-
duced 10 the utmost distress, defeated in
battle, and without follower, lie one day
threw himself into the ruins of Tartar ca
ravansary, when he resolved to give up all
further effort, and die. AS he lay on the
ground, sunk in despair, his eye was caught
by the attempt Of an act to drag grain
of corn up to his nest in the wall. The load
was too great for it, and the ant and grain
fell to the ground together. The trial was
rene wed, and both fell again. 1t was re-
newed ninety and nine times, and on the
hundredth it succeeded, and the grain was
carried into the nest. The thought instant
ly struck the PROSTATE chieftain, +" shall an
insect struggle ninety and nine times until
it succeeds, while |, man, and the descend
ant Of heroes, give up all hope after sin
gle battleg" He sprang from the ground,
and found troop of his followers outside,
who had been looking for him through the
wilderness. Scimetar in hand, threw him
self on his pursuers, swelled his troops into
an army, his army into myriads, and finished
by being the terror Of Europe, the conquer.
or Of Asia, and the wonder Of the world.

CoLr's SuB-MARINE BATrERY.-The Sec
retaries of War and the Navy, to whom the
subject was referred by the last House Of
Representatives, have arrived at the conclu-
sion that Colts submarine battery is nothing
new: that he is entitled to neither praise
nor reward; and that he has only availed
himself of Fulton's stationary torpedoes and
Professor Hare's galvanic current. 1t ap-
pears from the communication of the Sec
retary of the Navy, however, that all Mr..
Colts labors have not been for nought. He
has received ftom that department over l5,-
600 dollars on his own account, and over
two thousand dollars, for experiments, a.
mounting, in all, 10 upwards Of seventeen
thousand dollars.

FARMERs' Boys.-There is wholesome
change going on in public sentiment, which
promises to do mach for the improvement of
the country and the condition Of the people.
We mean the change which is taking place
among the young in relation to the great
work of tilling the soil. A few years ago,
and the young men left their fathers farms
as soon as they could get away from them
and the fathers themselves not unfrequently
encouraged them in il. A hard hand aud a
sunburnt face were deemed poor recommen-
dations in life; and more "gentee" modes
ofgettng living we're sought by the young
But they are beginning to look at the matter
in different light The dull times through
which we have passed, have opened their
eyes to the fact, that after all there is nothing
like farmer to stand through all time, and
they are quite content 10 stay at home. The
result will be, that our farms will be better
cultivated, and produce more-that large
farms, which are not half cultivated, will be
divided, and we'll husbanded-and that we
shall have large and virtuous population
scattered all over our fertile hills.--Nashua

Wooh.@-Napoleon's plundering excursions
into Spain, have been worth millions Of dol
lars to the United States in improving the
quality of Wool, for before that event it was
almost impossible to get q merino sheep from
Spain. Our intention, however, is neither
to give description of sheep, nor history
of that great warrior whom Jefferson called
"the apostle of desolation," but simply to
aid the good housewife in preparing her
Wool to have good rolls. Lay the fleece on
bench or the floor, and pick out the sticks,
straws, burrs of every deception, and every
kind of filth that will injure the cards or
tangle the wool; then separate the fine from
the coarser parts of the fleece. Merno
wool is generally full of gum which makes
the ends of the wool stick together; these
ends are seen in the rolls as small round
knots and are very injurious to the yarn and
provoking to the spinner, the right way to
get this gum out is to take one pail full of
chamber lep, and two pals full of rain or
soft water, made as hot as the hand can bear;
soak the wool in this liquor, say ten or fif-
teen minutes then lay the wool on slanting
board, that the liquor may run back into the
kettle again, and by adding chamber ley and
water, and keeping up the heat, and skim
ming off the grease as it rises, any number
of parcels of wool may be cleansed in the
same liquor. Rinse the wool in two or three
clean waters, dry it and EVENLY put on one
pound of lard to eight, or one pint of lard
oil to ten pounds of wool, and it is then pre-
pared to Nuke good rolls. If hard water is
used, put in spoon full Of pearl ash, OR put
some ashes into barrel Of water and let it
stand over nght.--CIeneland Plaindealer.

CONVICTION OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE SPTT-

ship Spiifre, recently captured on the coast
of Africa, has been tried at Boston, and con-
victed. A writer Of letter from that city
says, that the penalty for his offence, is fine
of not more that $4,000 nor less than 1000,
and Imprisonment not less than seven years.

the slave-trade as piracy, and punished those
engaged in it with death.-NeUark AdUo-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The recent destructive fre at Plttsburg, has dis.
closed the facts that the ostensbe capitals Of some
of the Insurance Companies there were fictitious,
and that the public has suffered deeply by the de-
ception. One comnany with a nominal capital of
$2500O0, and probably receiving premiums upon
thrice that amount, was found to have only
$50, 900 paid in. The residue of the capital con.
sisted of directors and favored stockholders notes.
