MUSICAL SrEAMBoATs.--Jenny Lind is
about TO be thrown IN the back ground by a
process of music making, recently discovered
by MIR. VIM. Hoyl, OF Dupons, Indiana
Mr.. II. asserts that he has invented a plan
by which music can be produced on steam
boats, Of the soIlest and most pathetic char
acter by the agency Of steam. HIS method
Is, to place across The boilers in a horizontal
position, pipe Of such length and size as
may be proper for that purpose, both ends, of
course, air tight. In or Lear the center III ust
be "a connection to let the steam in the pipes.
Upon the Top OF the horizontal pipe are place d
seven or more small pipes in perpendicular
position, AMI at a suitable and convenient
height, and in the top OF these are inserted
whistles Of different .izes aud tones. These
whistles are 30 constructed as to screw up or
down, in such way as to regulate the
sounds while turning them, and set of KEYS
have also been introduced TO let off the steam
or shut it off wien necessary in the same
manner as the pedals press Oh piano.
Mr. HOyt thus speaks Of his discovery: IL
am satisfied that music can be made by steam
on boat or locomotive, as well as it can be
played with brass instruments, and much
cheaper, much louder, and without any loss
OF steam, as there is always a surplus whilst
landing, whilst at the wharf, and when leav-
ing. II is my candid opinion that the West
ern Boys will hear Old Dan Tucker Aud
Lang Syne:' &C., played on the Western
waters by steam at a distance Of ten miles

|" There are strong manifestations Of a
very excited state Unpopular feeling in West
ern Virginia, in view Of the belief, which is
fast gaining ground, that the mixed basis will
be adopted in the new constitution. The
Stnun'on Spectator, always moderate and
cautious in expression Of opinions, and care
ful and accurate in It's statement Of facts, re-
fers to the deep feelings that are aroused in
the West, and trusts that the result may no,
be division Of the State. The vexed ques-
ton will probably have to be settled by mu-
sual concessions and compromises. The
great compromises Of Congress in favor of
our national Union are patriotic example
for Virginia's imitation.

MosT S NGULAR.-SOme few weeks ago a
lady, named Davis, came to the city from the
country. accompanied with two sons, one
about ten years old, and the other something
older. But a short time after their arrival.
the youngest WAS missing, and, notwithstand-
ing all pains have been taken to discover his
Whereabouts, he has not yet been found. OF
course both mother and brother are in great
tribulatiOn about the matter. Not long ago
the mother received an anonymous letter,
which stated the child was at certain house
in Louisville. and the lady lost no time in go
ing down, but she soon asccrtained that she
was sent oil n FOOLS errand, as no tidings
could be had Of the lost one. She has also
been informed, through the same source, that
her son was at Madison and at Hamilton.
which, on pursuing inquiries, she found to be
false. Mrs. Davis can assign no reason why
such course Of conduct should be pursued
toward her, as she is not aware that the per
son lives that harbors enmity against her.
The writer Of the anonymous letter gives no
reason for what he has done, nor does he
claim ransom Tor the surrender Of the boy
which renddrs the circumstance still more
singular. We suppose the whole matter
will be unraveIled alter awhile, but in the
meantime the lady must remain in great dis
tress OH account OF the peculiar state Of affairs.
II the child is abducted, as it would seem, d
heavy punishment could be imposed upon
those that perIol med the act. if they eau be
found. aud such secrets sooner or later are
discovered.-( Gin. Enquirer.

'ourt at New York, a suit is on trial, Of
considerable interest to the press and the

The editors Of the Express newspaper, Messrs

The question at issue is, whether tele-
graphic dispatch can be withheld until the
disputed price oil a message previously deliv-
cred 10 settled. The dispatch the Express
was deprived Of contained news Of the fareup
between the hate Presid mt Tay lor and M.
Poussn, the French Minister. The COM
plants contend that not having that price oil
news at a time when the public mind was
much excited as 10 the probabilities Of war
with France, damaged the Express. They
sue to recover accordingly.
The New York correspondent of the Bal
timore Patriot, under date Of the 3Oth ult
says, in reference to the above case:
The Telegraph contended. that having an
unsettled dispatch account with the Express
they had right to keep back dispatch I'LL
the account was paid. The court ruled out
all ouch defence, and held that telegraph,
companies contracting to receive and dispatch
intelligence, were bound, in good laith, ic
fulfil their contracts, and were held RESPONSE.

The question then was one of damages.

It's holy time. The evening shade
Steals with a soft control
Der nat ure, ~ q thought Of heaven
Steals DER the human soul,
And every ray from yonder blue,
And every drop of falling dew,
Seem to bring down to human woes.
From heaven, . message ofrepose.
Der yon tall rock the solemn trees,
A shad0wy group incline,
Like gentle nuns in sorrtw bowed
Around their holy shrine;
And DER them now the night winds blow,
So calm and still, the music low
Seems the mysterious voice Of prayer
Sol. echoed on the evening air.
The mists, like incense from the earth,
Rise 10 a God beloved,
And DER the waters move as erst
The Holy Spirit moved;
The torrents voice, the waves low hymn,
Seem the far notes of Seraphim,
And all earth's thousand voices raise
Their song of worship. love, and praise.
The gentle sisterhood of flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears Of dew
UP to the holy skies;
And the pure stars come out above
Like sweet and blessed things Of love,
Bright signals in the eternal dome
To guide The parted spisit home.
There is spell of blessedness
In air and earth and heaven
And nature wears the blessed look
Ola young saint forgiven;
Oh, whe, at such an hour of love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
And not kneel down upon the sod
With natures self TO worship God!
