Among the "hrst fruits" of the new tariff, II has
been ascertaned that several white ROSTERS have

upon half allowance Of nuts, and will not be ex-
pected TO turn the wheel more than half the time.
A small boy, on hearing the passage Of the tariff,
took off his shoes, and throwing themdown lndig-

proper resentment"
An OK slaughtered the other day yielded only
about half the talow that he was estimated TO have

Europe can be imported cheaper than natives can be
raised.

GIGANTIC INCREASE OF THE COMMERCE OF THE
LAxEs.-The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in an article
on the Lake Country" says that its trade and
commerce in few years will nearly equal that Of
the Atlantic. At the present moment it exhibits
evidence Of gigantic increase It is known that the
first steamboat which reached Macknaw was in
1919, and in 1896 steamboats, navigated Lake
Michigan. Last year there were $50 vessels navi-
eating the lakes above the falls, amounting to TO-
600 tons. In the same year there were on Lake On
tarlo steamboats,, large propellers and 100 briggs
and schooners. The tonnage is estimated at 5000
In lS45 not less than 100000 barrels Of -four
passed over the lakes, and 900 passengers. At
the present time the commerce Of the lakes may be
fairly estimated at 500, 900, 900 per annum. This

THE vEro.--Ths Presidents veto OF the harbor
bill "a document Of enlarged and stntesmanlike
views, and shows a disposition, on hls part, 10
stand by the constitution well-dlreeled blow
has been given by il TO that reckless legislation
which parcels out 10 favored sections the money OF
the people Forty different local interests were M
cluded in this bill, and without reference to any
general and Indispensable necessity, they were as-
strength which passed it, and local interests, banded
together in common course, created power which
rode down considerable legislation. These forty
interests could not be voted down. Separated, they
were powerless; united they held the majority Of
Congress. Under such circumstances, Mr. Polk has
boldly used the veto power delegated to him by the
constitution. He has ably enforced the well-known
doctrines of Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, and Van
Buren, on this subject. The message is favorable to
high constitutional ground assumed and contend
ed for by the democratic party, and the more IL is
canyassed and examined, the stronger will il be.

act Hear him:
''The new tariff law is death on the whortleberry

Thursday morning, when she happened to see three
four with their heads together, talking about
something. She rode up to them, and inquired what
was the news.

HorE FOR ANTHRACITE cOAL-A gentleman who
read IN our paper the article from the NewburyporI
Herald respecting Nova Scotia coal, has kindly
handed US thu annexed memorandum Of an expert
ment which throws much light on the subject, and
proves that the anthracites of Pennsylvania not
likely to be so promptly superseded by the btu
mems Of Nova Scotia, as some people have imagined,
The experiment was made in lS43 by the great sugar
refining company Of Boston, for the purpose Of d.
recuDg their own interests. IL was made under the
superintendent Of the president Of the company.
and the burning OF eacn kind Of coal continued
for about week. The following was the result
The le hand column indicates the quantity Of coal
used, and the right hand column the quantity OF
water eVaporated-both in pounds.

This experiment proves that the anthracites are
worth more than double the same weight of Nova
Scotia coal for generating steam, and therefore that
the difference in price, if any, is no compensation
for the difference in value The great superiority OF
the anthracites results not entirely If chiefly, from
the superior quantity Of heat which they produce;
but in part at least from the superior facility with
which the heat Of the anthraces is brought into ac-
ZION. The vast quantity Of smoke and gas which
are emitted from bituminous coal carry off with
them great quantity of heat, and require the FIRE
TO be placed at greater distance from the boiler by
which larger volume of air is brought between
the fire and the boiler; and air is non-conductor,
this circumstance embarrasses the heat which re-
mains.
These facts are full of importance. They account
in some measure for the superior speed Of American
steamers over those of other nations. We are told
that this thing has had one most remarkable test
steamboat was built in Canada, after the model Of
our South America. The builders were disappont-
ed to end, after all, that she would run but two
thirds fast the South America. Nothing
would cure the disparity, until Lackawanna coal
was taken to her help and this brought up her speed
to the desired point Of equality with the pattern
boat. 1.-THE same change should be effected by the
introduction Of the fuel TO Atlantic navigation,
another new era would astonish the world.
