Shadrach, who was rescued from the of:
fcers Of the law, in Boston, writes on the
subject Of the Union in the following i'm
pressivc terms. They are the more re-
markable because a great many others
have pronounced the Union not longer
worth having, forthc reasonthat Shadrach
was carried of:

example Of the great Carthagenian gen

war upon the opponents of the govern

son at the altar Of any church for its Chris

filed with the mixed waters from the four
quarters of the Republic, that he might be
baptiscd truly, in the elements Of the I'm
ion, SO that in all after life, the association
most deeply impressed upon his mind
should be the Union Of this country with
the worship Of God.-R. Wig

A New Man in Europe.
German spectators have got hold

a
new subject. The event was opportune !;
as revolution had expired under the tread
Of armies, and the very name of constitu-
ton had become a word Of terror and re-
proach. The mystery which is beginning
ITO occupy the place Of these in public at
| tention, is no remnant of old world lore or
of modern spiritual suggestion. 1t is nei-
New Workers had better look to their
laurels,-for this last development Of time
threatens to invade their monopoly of the
wonderful. The story-as we find it re-
lated in the Corespondce of Berlin-attest
that a stranger was picked up at the end
Of last year in a small village Of the district
of Lebas, near Frankfort-on-the Oder,
whittier he had wandered no one could tell
whence. Such circumstance would
hardly have piqued curiosity in another
country; but to people fond Of specula-
ton, and situated far away from the great
highways Of the world, there was some
thing strange and startling in the fact that
the stranger spoke German imperfectly
and had all the marks Of Caucasian ORR
ginl Whether the man was a common
lmposter and tricked the village authori-
| ties, or whether these worthless began their
usual way, to construct a history for him
"out Of the depth Of their moral conscious
ness" is uncertain; at all events, they look
ed on him as a great prize, and carried
him off to Frankfort. On being question
cd by the burgot master of that enlighten-
| ed city, the stranger said his name was Jo-
phar Vorin, and that he came from coun-
try called Laxaria, situated in the portion
Of the world called Sakria. He under
stands, it is affirmed none of the Europe
an languages Except, we must suppose,
the broken German but reads and writes
| what he calls the Laxarian and Albanian
tongues. The latter he declares, to be the
written language Of the clerical order in
Laxaria, the other the common language
of his people. He says that his religion is
Christian in form and doctrine, and that it
is called Ispatian. Laxaria he represents
to be many hundred miles from Europe,
and separated by vast oceans from it His
purpose in coming to Europe, he alleges,
was to seek long-lost brother, but he suf-
fered shipwreck on the voyage-where,
he does not know-nor can he trace his
route on shore, or any map or globe. He
claims, for his unknown race considera-
bic share of geographical knowledge.
The five great compartments Of the earth
he calls Sakria, Affair, Aslar, Auslar, and
Euplar. The sages of Frankfort-on-the-
Oder, after much examination of the tale
and its bearer, have come to the conclu-
sion that it is true. Some men believe
things because they are incredible. How
ever, Jophar Vorin has been carefully dis
patched to Berlin, and is now the subject
Of much scientific and curious gossip in the
Prussian capital. What mystilicaton hides
under the story, time VIII probably show.

Our readers will remember that tho
Legislature Of Missouri, on receiving the
proceedings ofthe Nashville Convention,
adopted resolutions not at all compliment
tary TO the disunionists who held that Con-
vention. The resolutions were forwarded
TO the President of tho Nashville Conven-
ton, whose business it was to keep them
and 10 hand them over to the next Nash
vile affair whichby Arrangement Is to come
oft somewhere else al some very uncertain
period OF some year that nobody knows
anything of. But the President, Mr.. Me-
Donald, Of Georgia, instead Of doing his
duty as firc-catcr and Christian ought to
do, flies Off at the handle and sends the
resolutions back to the Legislature of
Missouri, just as if that Legislature had any
need OF copy Of what is already on its
records.
Now, Mcdonald is a mighty spunky
chap indeed. lie proves his spunk by
writing most inilannetory, though no,
very long. epistlo to the Legislature Of
Missouri. He tells the Missourians that
they havn't sense enough to comprehend
nor patriotism to appreciate the motives
and conduct of the Nashville Convention
folks, and having thus told them, he. act
ing on the principle that it is wrong to cast
pearls before swine, says notanothcr word.
lie is too smart an economist of wisdom
to talk much with the Missouri barbarians
He can't open bis dear mouth without @
mittiug series of very remarkably bril-
liant and wise ideas, and, not wishing to
waste such valuable things, he makes an
ugly iaecat Missouri and says not a word
more than 10 tell the Legislature Of that
State that they are pack of unpatrio,ic
fools.
That's what we like. The Missouri
folks will feel very sore for a year or more.
McDonald's reply is what that keen man
who conducts the Southern Press, chap
who has more eyesight than Argus had.
calls "a whitening reply" 1t is prodig
iously "withering." We have no doubt
Legislature To get into the "withering"
way with that it will cause all the men-
bers Of the Missouri out delay. All their
Juices will soon be dried up and their mis-
crably barbaric bones will rattle in their
dry sockets. We are sorry however that
Mr.. Charles j. Mcdonald should have seen
fit to wither up Legislature that had
sense enough to clccta Wing to the U. $.
Senate. His cruelty is immense. Hc has
forfeited all claims to be considered hu-
manc. When the barbarians comes on
we shall expect to hear Of Mr.. Donald's

death with the tip Of his sword. Ifunfor-
tunately Mr.. Mcdonald should be killed,

New ENGINE.-The New Orleans Cou-
rler has the following account Of a new in.
ventlon. "a steamboat to travel on land
or water" would indeed be a novelty:
A gentleman exhibited this morning in
the Lyccum Hall, while the assembled
multitude waited to be organized into Con
vcntion-a model Of locomotive which
can be used for steamboat to travel on
land or water-for ploughing or for any
sort Of riding or traveling-it can also be
used as q fire engine, or street sprinkler.
He said 1t would throw water 300 or 5000
feet high, according to the size Of the ma
chine constructed; and if one had been in
existence here at the time, the St. Charles
fire could have been cxtinguished in five
seconds after the invention got upon the
ground. The inventor is one of the keen
est, at the same time most gentlcmanly
looking chaps in town; and we believe he
persuaded every body, that his invention
is the greatest yet. The frs, engineers Of
the city have examined it, and pronounced
that he has overcome every difficulty in the
way of travelling on land by steam. He
made the model move ahead retrogradc,
turn round and round every way, with
grace and ease. 1t is, indeed, wonderful
to behold.

fifth, boy sixteen years old, hung himself
in Delaware county, (Pa.) on the 17th in
stant. He had frequently talked about the
conviction and sentence of Pharaoh, at
West Chester, and doubtless he thought
he would try the experiment how one feels
when hanged. He made knot or loop
large enough TO admit lis head, in one end
of wheelbarrow strap about four feet
long, and, ascending plank, tied the 9th
er end to pole lying across two beams.
1t is supposed that, while engaged in ar
ranging his plans, ho slipped and fell from
the plank, as, when discovered, his neck
was dislocatcd, and his feet were resting
