FIRE ENGINES SUpERsEDED.-The gal
liant fremen of Newark, and the rest Of
the world, will learn with pleasure that Mr.
Phillips of London has lately invented a
Fire annihiator for instantaneo extin.
gushing fires by erated vapour.' The
principles, says foreign Journal, are
chemical, and they proceed on facts deduced
from considerations Of the source of all
power-chemical action. Fire, in the or
binary acceptation of the term, is phe-
nomenon which results from the union Of
oxygen, the supporter of combustion, by.
drogen, the element of fame, and carbon,
the element of light. If the oxygen be
Withdrawn, the fire ceases. This the fire
snnihilator accomplishes. A jet of pesu-
liar gaseous vapor, which possesses q
greater affinity for the oxygen of the air
than the oxygen has for the hydrogen and
the carbon with which it is combined, is
instantaneously generated by the machine,
and thrown with extraordinary rapipity on
the fire, which, being instantaneousy de-.
prived of the supporter of combustion"
at once ceases. The extinction is so sud-
den that in the case of strong fire, which
Mr. Phillips "put out" on board vessel in
the Thames, the operation did not occupy
''one second" and it was compared by the
spectators to flash of lightning"

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.

Mr.. Faraday recently announced TO the

which would appear to connect the lmpon-

as to the power Of magnetizing iron by the

THE OREGON DEBATE.--lt is generally
admitted that the debate in the House of
Representatives. on the Oregon question,
has been, take il all together, thus far, the
poorest we have ever had on any great ma
tional subject. The Philadelphia North
American entertains this opinion, and says
that it has "made a calculation, and discov-
ers that during the present session, without
the One Hour Rule, the war speeches
would, when fairly printed cover the whole
OF the disputed-not question--territory.
We admire orators--who does not?--that
which gives the counses Of wisdom in the
words of fire, or, if you please, that which
gives wisdom without eloquence, or elo-
quence without VISIONS; but the eternal
drop, drop, drop, from the leaky beer-bar-
rel of dullnesss, is more than human nature
can be expected TO endure. The reports
Of most of the speeches that reach US from
the House of Representatives are truly dis
graceful to the nation. They are low-min-
ded, narrow in thought, vulgar in language,
Astounding in mean appeals to the meanest
prejudices, and indicating the absence Of
education, self-respect, policy and patriot
ism. Athwart this darkness there are, Of
course, occasional flashes of true intellect;
but the general character of the debates is
always boyish, and often foolish. A joke
"a dull one always--is better than an ar
gument; and "a scene better than a cor
ollary. Amid such scenes are the hopes of
the American Republic trusted !"

Important and Unequalled Discoveries.
DIR. JAMES NJ. MARTENS APPROVED
FAMILY MEDICINES.
|TTNTIRING RESEARCH, travel and labor,
~ combined to the advantages afforded by an
extensive and diversified practice have enabled Dr.
J. M. MARTIEN to make various highly import
ant discoveries in the healing art.
In offering his preparations to the human family,
Dr. Martien fearlessly hazards the assertion, that
they are not only unsurpassed, but not equaled
either for their curative properties or for mildness
safety and certainty in their operations, by any
other preparations compounded for similar purpo-
ses, now before the public.
DIR. James NJ. MARTENS Inrincibe Pills, for the
cure of Fever and Ague and all other Fevers. have
not in single instance failed to accomplish per-
feet cure when the directions have been strictly
followed. This medicine has in various violent and
desperate cases. effected radical cures, after the pa
tients had been abandoned and their condition pro-
nounced hopeless, by medical gentlemen of high
professional character.
DR.. MARTENS ANTI-BrLloUs VEGETABLE UNI
vERsAL LIFE PILLs.--This medicine will certainly
remove all impurities of the blood, and is an eff
| factual remedy in many of the complaints which
af1ct the human system, and for the various pain
full and vexatious diseases incident to the female
sex, no preparations now known to the public are
equal to these pills. As cathartic, they are en-
tirely safe, always efcacious, and operate with
usual mldness: they also act as cosmetic, and
| render the complexion clear, rich and fair.
DR.. MARTENS .4NTI-DYsPEPTIc AND ANTI.CoN-
sUMPTIvE PILLs.-These pills are principally pre-.
pared Of Indian remedies, and operate almost like
charm. For dyspepsia, consumption, chronic
cough, pain in the breast, splitting blood and COM
plants of the bowels, generally, this medicine is
certain cure when taken according to the accom-
panying directions. For many of the complaints
with which children are afflicted, it is truly eica-
cious and without rival.

THE ERRING.
by JULIA A. FLETCHER,

Think gently Of the erring
Ye know not OF the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour.
Ye may know not how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour Of darkness came,
And sadly thus they fell.
Think gently Of the erring!
Oh do not then forget,
However darkly stained by sin,
He is thy brother yet.
Heir Of the self same heritage!
Child OF the self.same God!
He hath but stumbled in the path
Thou hast in weakness trod.
Speak gently to the erring!
For is it not enough
That innocence and peace are gone,
Without thy censure rough?
1t sure must be weary lot
That sin.crushed heart 10 bear,
And they who share a happier fate,
Their chidings well may spare.
Speak kindly to the erring!
Thou yet may'st lead them back,
With holy words and tones OF love,
From misery's thorny track.
Forget not thou hast often sinneJ,
And sinful yet must be-
Deal gently with the erfing one
As God has dealt with thee!
