Day and Newell Eslipsed.
We were shown yesterday q wonderful piece
OF mechanism. which certainly goes ahead OF
anything in the shape of lock that We have
ever seen or read of, in the essentials Of securi.
from depreciation. 1t is called "Yale's
Magic LOCK-" and is as absolutely unpickable
as the kernel OF a walnut would be without
damaging the shell. The only opening is cir
cular orifice, half an inch in diameter. for nd.
mltt!ng the Key, and through which there is no
possible access to the tumblcrs with any instru-
ment whateyer--nOt even by the kew itself
strange as that may seem. by singular con.
trlvance portion of the key is detached after
inserting, and sent to distant part of the lock
where it moves the tumblers, and where the
tools of the burglar could never arrive except
BY first battering the lock to pieces The KEY
hole resembles the interior of small pistol
barrel, and having no opening to the interior
basin of the lock. would not receive powder
enough to blow it open. The lock is therefore
absolutely gunpowder proof also.
Among other peculiarities, the key is suscep-
tbie of from forty thousand to one million Of
changes. A change of the key changes the
lock also in the act of locking, SO that one NAV
have new lock every day for hundreds OF
years! By change of the key after locking,
1t is rendered impossible to unlock even with
the same key until altered back again. One
may thus lose the key or have it stolen, and
still entertain no fears of the locks being
opened with it.
Altogether, this lock seems to us as perfect
as anything Of the kind can be. 1t has decided
advantages over the most celebrated locks of
the day, which cannot fail to be discovered by
any one upon inspection. With all its advan-
tages it is of exceedingly simple construction,
and not liable to get out Of order The pro-
prietOrs offer reward of $500 to any one who
will pick it through the key-hole, using what
ever instrument he pleases, and taking any
length of time he desires
Mr.. Philleo, one of the proprietors. is now
stopping at the Missouri Hotel, where the lock
may be seen and examined. We advise the Gu
rious in such matters, as well as all who have
money vaults to lock up to call and look at it.

NOBLE SENTIMENTs.-1 said to them that a
man travelling through this State would no.
where be without q school house or church of
God under his eye; and where these 60 togeth-
er, good faith and public credit are enevitable
And this is q truth which cannot be too often
impressed upon the mind. Without the union
of education and religion, there is no faith in
man +; no, nor in woman either.-Ffom Gen.
Scots Speech at Dayton.
We have taken pains to extract and to iso-
late from the admirable speech recently delv-
cred by Gen. Scott in reply to the welcome of
the citizens of Dayton, the foregoing sentiment,
as one worthy to be engraven on the American
mind, and to be cherished as a moral axiom by
people who regard the diffusion of knowledge
as public bencfactor, and whose institutions
rest upon the foundation of civil and religious
liberty. 1t is upon such high principles as
these that Gen. Scott would administer the
Government. if called to the Presidency His
private life and his public career are examples
that have attracted as high admiration as those
great deeds which have and borne his name in
honor to the remOtest corners of the Garth
Under such Chief Magistrate the Government
would be carried on with purity, economy and
integrity. Corrupt and designing politicians
would be made to feel the strong arm of a faith
full sentinel, and to realize that the ntrigues OF
dcmagogues could find no favor under Winfield

"FoEclBLE ENTRY BY RArL-RoAD TRAIN
A special freisht-train, very heavily laden, was
sent out West, from this city. about clock

keep their whistles going. This they did faith

without accident. The light of the station

Waukesha Depot at good pace, but when with

man who has grown grey in the cause of Mason

suitable inscription, and miniature likeness Of
