VOL. 6.-NO. 80.
From the Copner Country.

The steamer Franklin came down 10
Detroit from the Saut on the 10th inst,
with fair load Of passengers and freight.
She had on board 400 bbls of fish and
considerable quantity of copper ore, most
of 1t In bbls and casks, with few heavy
masses. The ore was from the North
American Cliff, and the Isle Royal Com
panies.
The propeller Manhattan was afoa; on
Lake Superior when the Franklin left the
Saut.
The Detroit Tribune gathers from the
Lake Superior Journal OF the 5th, the fol
lowing items of news:
The propeller independence brought
down on her last trip. 80 tons of Copper
from the North American Mine, 3 tons OF
which are masses, the balance barrel and
stamp work. They have out some l, 500
cons of rock, rich in copper, yielding from
IL to ID per cent. of pure metal; but ow
ing 10 a want of some necessary materi-
ais, have not been able to get their wash
ing tables in operations until within few
weeks.
Considerable feeling is manifested by
the Chippewa Indians, on Lake Superior,
at the order from the Government for
their removal west. They are holding
Councils, and none of the best feeling Is
apparent. Gov. Ramsey is soon expected
among them at Fou Gu Lac, TO hold a
council with them.

Novel and Ingenious Clock.

Mr.. John Geldard, OF Pawtucket, X. |.
has invented piece of mechanism, capa-
bic OF being attached to any common clock
by which ii is set in motion at any re-
quired time. The machinery is made 10
operate upon three automatic figures, rep
resenting negroes, who perform their res
spectlve duties with a tact and promptness
at once amusing and interesting. As soon
as the appointed time, as indicated by the
clock, arrives, the first of three gentlemen
and for so long a time, as to awaken the
family from the soundest sleep-indeed
he who should sleep through the alarm
thus made, would not be very likely to be
aroused by respectable pea. of thunder.
Whilst darkie No. l, (who is known by
the soubriquet Of Sambo,) tugs at the bell
with a hearty will, Jumbo lights a lamp
from a match, which he ignites by draw
ing across a piece of sand paper. No
sooner is the lamp lighted than IPete is at
work. This gentleman most dexterously
ignites torch at the lamp, and communi-
Gates the flames thereof to the fuel pre-
pared over night, in the stove.
So complete are all the varied arrange
ments, and so perfect is the mechanism of
the whole, that no possible risk of fire is
at any time present.; indeed the tact dis
played by the s'little darkies'' would do no
discredit to help possessed of human intel
ligence. 1t will hence be seen that whilst
its inventor is dressing, his automatic aids
light lamp and kindle fire in his stove
services of no small value on cold
winters morning. Nor is ,his all; Mr..
G. and his family may leave home in the
morning, and upon retaining at night may
find his stove warm, his kettle boiling and
a lamp lighted, and all those services per-
formed without interference on the part OF
those to whom they are entrusted, nor do
they ever fail in their respective duties
for they are always at their post when re-
quired, advantages not always found where
human help is employed.
Mr.. Geldard is a self made mechanic
and gives evidence of clear constructive
brain. He is at present the Overseer OF
the Weaving Department in Walcott &
Co.'S Mill, Pawtucket, Mass.

GsasSreilac.

We find the following eloquent passage
in speech delivered by NJ. de LAMAR
TINE, during the recent discussion Of the
Electoral Law, IN the Legislative Assem-
bly, of France. Were NJ. de LAMART1NE
as great statesman as he is orator and
poet. he might, indeed, have been the
founder of a new order of things in
France. The passage, which we have
translated, is towards the close, and ex-
presses most beautifully the only means
by which the agitation which now reigns
In France can be brought to close:
81 would WISH" says the orator, ''that
the first Government founded in our coun-
try, on universal suffrage, might be faith
full to It's origin, and that far from blush
ing at its origin, ii might not destroy in
the hands of those who have invested it
with power, the right by which alone it
exists. l would wish that the Govern
ment might remain faithful, simply and
scrupulously faithful to It's origin and TO
the duties which have been assigned to IT;
that 1t might pursue, peacefully, legally,
constituuonally the career, be 1t long or
short, which the constitution has prescrl-
bed for it. Such would be, III my opln-
ion, the best remedy for all our agltatlons.
| would wish, that instead of gazing con-
stantly itself and burning the eyes of the
people at a cloudy and consequently sus-
picious horizon, would wish that Gov
ernment, the majority, the conservative
party and the journals which are support
ed by them, instead of continually fixing
their eyes on the Tuilleries, might turn
them more frequently to that modest
dwelling of Washington, that Mount YER
non, where the first President of the
American Republic, repelled all the offers
of increase of power, of defamation OF the
power of the people, or of an illegal pro-
longation of his own, with which impru-
dent friends. like you. were constantly
tempting him and where, instead of pre-
carlous power, he obtained liberty for a
whole world and Immortality for his own
name."

lIprHhnlming Argument.

DR.. Lathrop, in one of his sermons
says.-'sf it were true that there is no
God, what evidence can the atheist have
that he shall not exist and be miserable
after death? How came he TO exist at all'
Whatever was the cause of his existence
here, may be the cause of his existence
hereafter. Or, if there is no cause, he
may exist without cause in another r
state, as well as in this. And if his cor
rupt heart and abominable works make
him so unhappy here, that he would rath-
er be annIhila;ed than to run the hazard
of future existence, what hinders but he
may be unhappy forever? The man then.
is fool, who wishes there was no GOD.
hoping thus 10 be secure from future mis-
cry, for, admitting there is no God, still
he may exist hereafter as well as here; ii
he does exist, his corruption and vices
may render him miserable eternally, as
well as for the present"

So We 60.

The American Mechanico, published
at Poug ghkeepese, Me-, justly remaks:
A man growls at paying a shilling
for loaf of bread thinking he ought to
get ii for eleven pence, & the same evening
takes his family 10 witness the feats of a
magician, for the purpose Of being hum
bugged, knowing they will be humbugged;
and willingly pays dollar for the priTi-
lege! Another is too poor TO pay for a
newspaper, but can spend levy or a
quarter, for every roppet show or other
foolish eXhbi that travels the county
and not miss it. Another is too poor 10
paw few dollars, but can attend concerts
and negro performances that come along
Another wants mechanic to work for
nine and sx-pence, when he demands
ten shillinos and watches him to see that
he Iabo rs faithfully, and the next day
hires horse and wagon, at the expense
of two dollars. 10 travel ten miles TO see a
horse race. Another 'beats down an

rled on 10 the hurricane deck, 81 the one |
have before spoken of rushed to Samson,
who was at the wheel, and begged him
not to race any more.
'kentuck, said Rogers, they'll be into
us-it's my opinion they mean to run us
down-they must be all drink there
pretty much so,' replied the Kentucki
an. Bob Albert was in for it early this
morning; he's the only pilot on board,
that is Beattie is down with the fever
mighty low-Bob hates your Captain
here, and when he's tight he's perfectly
crazy
we shall all be lost-we shall all be
lost exclaimed the young lady. % h!
Mr.. Old Kentucky save u.s.
sOld Kentucky will do that my dear
young lady if he has to shoot the rascal
at the wheel; they're bent on running us
down-self preservation is the first law of
nature--if two men are graphing for the
same plank at sea, which will hold but
one, each has the right TO push the other
off if he can--that's the law I'm told, tho
never thought it exactly fair, especially
if the weaker man had got the plank first
however, if these fellows run into US it
will be clear case of murder, and they
are hardly six lengths off. Hang it, these
boats bark SO that you can hardly hear
yourself talk. Hallow there, what are
you after--look out. Here Rogers you
take the wheel moment, and hand me
my rifle--you see it's necessity
Don't kill him. exclaimed Rogers,
nevertheless complying with his request.
xiii him, no, but I'll just break that
right arm of his between the wrist and
elbow, the first time he shows it fairly
SO saying the Kentuckian deliberately
lifted his rifle to his shoulder. We all
felt our danger too much to interfere or
say word. In a moment more the sharp
report of rifle was heard. All eyes were
fixed upon the pilot of the Shelby. In an
instant his arm fell lifeless to his side, and
the Shelby uncontrolled rushed on to a
shallow bar just beside her, and in another
moment was fast aground.

IT is no: so easy task TO write for a
news paper as people suppose. A man
may be a good scholar, profound think
er, a vIgilant observer of passing events,
without being able to write for news
paper. The power of writing leading
article for a newspaper Is a tact which
few possess, and which we have knowir
many, with all their learning and dill
gence, unable to acquire. 1t requires q
very large amount of information on a
variety of subjects, and readiness Of ap-
plication that must never be at fault, or
the writer will fail. For, remember, the
editor is always writing against time,
and the memorable prikter must have his
copy, so that Their is no time TO revise and
amend; but as slip after slip is written.
the devil snatches it away, and one
halfis usually set up in print before the
other half is written. This exacts de-
csion of thought and a facility ofwrltlng-
which, like poetry, seems rather gift OF
nature than acquired facility.

Making Anger Holes with q Gimlet.

My boy what are you doing with that
gimlet' said | to a faxen haired urchin,
who was la6oring with all his might at a
piece of board before him.
Trying to make anauger hole, was the
reply without raising his eyes.
Precisely the business of at least two
thirds of the world-making auger-holes
with gimlet.
Horo 10 young A., iI, hoe just escaped
from a clerks desk behind the counter
He sports moustache, his imperial, car
ries arattan, drinks champaign, talks big
about profits of banking or shaving notes.
He thinks he is really a great man; but
every body around him sees that he is on
ly making auger- holes with gimlet.
Miss c. is a nice pretty girl, and might
be very useful, too, for she has intelligence
but she must be the tOra-goes to plays,
lounges on sofas, keeps her bed till near
noon, imagines that she is belle, disdains
labor, forgets or tries to, that her father
was mechanic-and all for what? Why
she is trying to work herself INTO Ethe be-
lief that an auger-hole can be made with
gimlet.
1t may be we'll for every one who reads
the above to consider whether he is not
making auger holes with gimlet.
