Musical STEAMBoATs.-Jenny Liud is
about TO be thrown in the back ground
by process of music making, recently
discovered by MIR. VIM. Hoyt, OF Du-

softest and most pathetic character, by
the agency Of steam. His method is, 10

position, pipe OF such length and size

OF tile horizontal pipe are placed seven
or npre small pipes IL a perpendicular
position, and at a suita bic and convenient
height; and. IL the top Of these are in
serted whistles Of different sizes and
tones These whistles are so construct
ed, that thc top part will screw down or
up, N such away as 10 regulate The sounds
while turning them; aud a set of KEYS
have also been introduced to et on The
steam or shut it off when necessary, in
the same manner as the pedals press on
a piano. Mr.. Hoyt thus speaks of his
discoyefy:-'I am satisfied that music
can be made by steam on BOAT or loco
motive, AS we'll as it can be played with
bIasi instruments, aud much cheaper,
much louder, and without any loss of
steam, as there is always surplus willis.

CoLoKIzArioN.- Distributed through the free

comprising numerous class Of persons, whose
political and social condition is no real improve
ment upon the state of slavery. 1t is true they
enjoy some of the blessings of liberty, but these
are overbaisnced by the consciousness that they
are objects of dislike in the North, and of
watchful suspicion in the South. They threat
en- to become dangerous, politically and socially,
and no wonder that nearly everybody wishes
them clean out of the country, In Africa, they
might build up great Republic, might enjoy in
undimmed glory altthe blessings of liberty, and
convey these, with civilization and religion
to people now sunk to the lowest depths Of
barbarism, Looking unon The work as advan-
tageous to the white people, both North and
South, and to the free blacks, we are glad to see
