A Novelty.

On Monday we had the pleasure of witnessing
quite novelty in It's way. 1t is called Warmers
Patent Pump. Its properties are those of fire
engine simplifed, and be placed in almost any,
if indeed it be in ALL situations without danger
of freezing; They can be made upon any scale, and
those ie larger correspond with the connections
of fire apparatus of ordinary sze would be Invaluable
in country towns, where but OF two engines are
employed Indeed, were these pumps in general use,
one half the fires could be extinguished before an
engine could reach the spot. We have not time to
notice this improvement more particularly; but we
do hope that our City Fathers will see the propriey
if net the absolute necessity of obtaining them for all
the public wells at least

Dates from Matsmoras to the 2lst of July have

States Tie troops cf Matarhoras are composed Of
such material as Fslsaf They count about six hun

ed. Gen. Psredes, at San Luis Potosi, has an army
of FIVE thousand troops in good condition and well
uniformed. They were on the march tu Monterey.
Gen. Arista, who is in bad health, is still Monte

ders with him. They are mostly cavalry, bat their
horses are represented skeletons, having
had any other food than grass for me and that
being Indifferent in the neighborhood. Arista can
hardly obtain money enough from the GOyerpment to
purchase provisions even for himself and officers, to
such straits is he driven while the poor soldiers
obliged to pick up scanty subsistence best they
can. These are the individuals who intend to invade
the United States and take the capital The Picay-
une says:
..Two anecdotes have been told us, which show the
wretched condition of the Mexican treasury, and the
extreme poverty of the soldiers of the army One Of
the latter lately sold his only blanket to American
for half its value the purchaser wanting It, but
giving him the money as he stated he was absolutely
in want of the necessaries OF life. Another officer
asked gentleman for the loan of dollars and
being questioned to what security he could give,
offered his wife, young and prettry woman of some
sixteen years He had nothing else to offer, and pos
tyely told the gentleman she might remain with him
until the debt was paid ;"
The Picayune of the 9th says that it was the day
before rumored that the Mexican consul, Senior Ar.
rangoiz, was to leave for Vera Cruz in day two
and that his departure is TO be the signal for the pas
sage of a non-intercottse act law. OF the truth
of this are not prepared to decide. Should Senol
A. be called home by the existing difficulties, hope
that, on their friendly settlement, he may be sen
back among US for we believe that In the duties
his station, he has always given satisfaction.

Secretary of the State Of kentucky.

The following paragraph from the Kentucky Gazette,
gives explanation of the reports in circulation
respecting Ben. HARDEN, Secretary of the State of
kentucky. We think the Louisville Journal and
Madison Banner must feel rather at the downfall
of their et-one whom they but lately lauded to the
skies.
A friend residing in near Bardstown, con6ded to
the care and protection Of the Secretary, daughter
who wished complete her knowledge of the millinery
business, requesting him to procure boarding for her
In reputable family. The Secretary took her to a
house of ill fame, and attempted to seduce her. A
citizen of Frankfort acquiring a knowledge Of her
situation rescued her from the perous condition and
took her to his own house. As soon as these facts
TRANSFERRED the public Indignation osuch pitch
that the Secretary forced to leave Frankfort to
avoid ducking in the Kentucky river or a suit of
tar and feathers.
Such is the tale which has reached this city whether
true false know not its truth appears probable
from the flight Of the Secretary, and the highly
excited " state Of popular feeling against him.

OrSome complaint has been made to us of the in
correctness in point Of fact of the report of the evil
dence in the case of the State Davis. certain
portion questioned in Court by the lawyers and
Mr.. j. F. Ramsey says he is reported testfying to
facts to which he did not testify.
We can only say, that it was our anxious desire to
have report correct in every way possible. For
this permitted ourselves to be prevailed on
to accept the Voluntarily profered services of gen.
tleriah in whose ability the lawyers had more conf
dence than they had in another reporter had first
intended to employ.
We cannot suppose, that the gentleman who made
the report had any sinister design Of wilfully mis-
representing, in giving false co1oring to facts
as testified To suppose the contrary, would be equiv
alent supposing him capable of perpetratng almost
any Wickeaness.
At any rate the result of the trial was satisfactory
to those most Immediately concerned, and the whole
matter may safely be permitted TO rest as it is.

Marion Circuit Court

In the Of the State VI. Nichols Wood, one Of
the parties indicted for the killing Of John Tucker,
the testimony was similar u that introduced on the
trial of Z. Davis On Saturday evening last the Ju
~, after being out hour two, returned verdict
OF guilty, and sentenced Wood to three years impris
onment in the Penisentary. Some surprise was felt
in community at the rendition Of such verdict after
the acquittal of Davis. There we're two points very
unfavora6le to Wood, however, which were not re-
Elected upon, perhaps sufficiently by people In gener
al These were, the facts, that Wood commenced the
ARRAY, and followed it up to its conclusion, striking
or attempting to strike Tucker aftes he had received
the fatal blow. o. H. Smith. Esq. of the coun-
sci for the prosecution dwelt these points with
great force and effect There were such strong
points against Davis or, If there were, they not
50 successfully urged upon the jury by the State Coun-
sci. Strong Mr. Smiths speech was, in the main,
there parts in which he rather weakened
his cause. We refer to certain digressions, well
enough perhaps in their place. but in estimation,
rather out of place in his argument This is mat
ter of taste, however, and if correct, Wood
and his friends have less occasion than they might
otherwise think they had, to find fault with MIR.
Smith. for the tendency Of the part we speak Of,
would be TO render the jury lenien to Wood rather
than extremely severe.
We understand that petitions in circulation;

A VALUABLE CoMPosITIoN-The fol-
lowing extract from Col. Macerone's "Sea-
sonable Hints" appeared in the Mechanics
Magazine, dated February Sd, 1888. After
stating the utility of sheepskin clothing, for
persons whose employment renders it ne
cessary that they should be much out of
doors, &C., he says: II will not conclude
without inviting the attention of your read
ers to cheap and easy method of preserv-'
ing their feet from wet, and their boots from
wear. have only had three pair of boots
for six years, and will want none for six
years TO come! The reason is that | treat
them in the following manner Il put
pound of tallow and pound of rosin into
pot on the fire; when melted and mixed,
warm the boots, and apply the hot stuff with
a painters brush, until neither the sole nor
the upper feathers will suck in any more.
If it is desired that the boots should imme-
dIately take polish, dissolve an ounce of
beesWax III an ounce of spirits of turpentine,
to which add a teaspoonful of lamp black
day or two after the boots have been
treated with the tallow and rosin, rub over
them the wax in turpentine, but not before
the fire. Thus the exterior will have coat
of wax alone, and shine like mirror. Tai
low, or any other grease, becomes rancid,
and rots the stitching as we'll as the leather;
but the rosn gives it an antiseptic quality
which preserves the whole. Boots or
shoes should be SO large as to admit of
wearing in them cork soles Cork is so
bad conductor of heat, that, with it in the
boot, the feet are always warm on the cold
est stone foor.'

Dickens Boz after making the fortune

thing is certain, his new Christmas book,
"The Cricket of the Hearth, Fairy Tale
of Home,'' is advertised to be printed for
the .4uthor, by Bradbury & Evans, the pro-
prietors of Punch. Dickens and the Punch
people are now hand and glove.

that Dickens regularly attends there, with

him, and his own travelling carriage and

HE CoRsET.-The ladies must shank
Frenchman for advocating in an eloquent
manner the use of the corset. At a recent
sitting of the French Academy of Sciences,
DIR. Periquin read a paper in favor of the
corset as an article which should be worn
by females. He ridicules the prevalent no
ton that the corset produces dyspepsia,
consumption and various other diseases, at
tributed to it by many medical men, and
DIR. Periquin declares that the inferiority Of
the muscles in that part Of the female frame
requires the aid of this outer case.
