TIE CONDUCT OF Congress. - The
dilatoriness of Congress becomes
more apparent every year. = idcnt
making absorbs every en-. of
the members. AS there is scarcely
a member of the Senate but is
secretly or openly intriguing for his
own elevation to the executive chair.
the public business receives little or
no attention at the hands of that
body; while in the House, affairs are
scarcely better. At present the
government is in absolute necessity,
owing to the non passage of the
Deficiency bill. Yet no serious effort
appears to be made to pass these
requisite appropriations. Members
meet and talk bunkum, plotting, in
the interludes, for this or that
candidate, when having trifted away
the day, and secured their eight
dollars, they adjourn to renew, on
the morrow, the same censurable
farce. Congress, indeed, is fast ceas-

cool manner in which he and Vesu-
vius were taking a morning smoke
together. His long nine was run out
like bowsprit, and he took the
whole affair as calmly as one would
look upon kitchen fire at home.
AS soon as I came up with him he
bawled out Halo stranger! Prct-

CMriOsilies OF Steam.

There is o question connected
with steam which is more strange
than any, and yet wc seldom hear it
mentioned. 1t is this: water at 212
deg. gives off steam; this steam is to.
tally different in it's nature and action
from water; and yet it is only 212
deg. also. Why does not the water
at 212 deg. all flash in moment,
like gunpowder; into steam that is;
into 1,7O0 times its original bulk?
We cannot tell; we only know it dot o
not do it. 1t has been proved by
Faraday, however, that water, per-
fectly purged of all atmospheric mir,
(Which all water contains q portion
off, when heated to 500 deg. ex-
plodes instantly-that is, all flashes
at once into steam:
There is another PROPERTY belong
ing to water not so universally known
to engineers as 1t should be; namely;
all the water in the boiler will become
steam in a given time, when subject
ed to a constant heat and great pres
sure. If a certain amount of water,
al. the heat of melted ice, be put in.
to vessel, and lamp applied to the
same, it will be found that, if the
time occupied to bring the water
from melted ice to 212o Ithe point
whero steam commences to be given
off) be noted, and the lamp kept at
the vessel for 5 1.2 times longer, all
the water will be changed into steam;
it follows, then, that if a certain
amount Of heat be applied to water,
for 5 1-2 titnes tile period it took to
raise the temperature from that of
melted ice to the steam point, all the
water will be in state to flash at
once into 1900 times its original
bulk:
A cubic foot Of water Converted
into steam, occupies 1,7OO times the
space it formerly occupied, if not
compressed; and two cubic feet Of
water, converted into steam. oceapE.
q space Of 3,4O0 feet. Tl.e r-ss...-,.
exerted by such an expansive force is
trerhendous. If frozen water has
burst cannons, is it to be wondered
at that heat and water burst boilers?
Every engineer should be thoroughly
acquainted with all the known cheui
cal and mechanical properties of wa
ter and steam. The observations of
eminent practical engineers are very
valuable: they are situated to observe
the phenomena Of steam, and there
may be many not yet generally
known. Scientific american.

The Literature of Distinguish
cd lIeln of South Carolina.

South Carolina has been distin-
guished through the whole period of
its history, by some of the most stri.
king and brilliant characteristics, that
ever belonged to a nation. Founded
in part by the best blood Of France,
the Hugonots, who escaped who es-
capped from the persecution that fol-
lowed the revocation of the cdict of
Nantes, she has afforded so ma
ny brilliant examples of successful
achievements in the arts, letters,
craftsmanship and in arms. Bring
ing with them from France as the
early settlers did, the spirit of hero.
ism which seems to be Inherent in the
French character; q love of personal
independence, for which no nation
was ever more distinguished than the
Hugonots; spirit of liberty and of
aristocracy Chat aristocracy which is
natural to heroic and splendid ma
tions.) these qualities were infused
into the body Of the people; and long
before the American revolution, many
noble examples of lofty character
were exhibited in the history of the
State.
1t was, however, at the period of
the American revolution, that the at.
tention of the world was fastened par.
ticu!arly on the part she played
South Carolina was the field Of one
Of the ficrcest and best fought strug.
giles of that bloody era. We need
scarcely allude to what took place,
for the events are engraved 80 deeply
on the pillows of the republic, that
they never can be blotted out. They
are fresh in the recollections of the
present generation, for they have
served to cmbellish the brightest pa.
gcs of our history. Sumter, Marion,
Moultrie, and a host of others, arc
names which will never die.
