BOYS AND Tobacco has spoiled
and utterly ruined thousands of boys, indu-
eng dangerous prscocjtv, developing the
passions, sofeuing and weakening the bones.
and greatly iujuring the spinal marrow. the
brain, and the whole nervous fluid. A bov
who early and freely smokes. or otherwise
| largely uses tobacco, never is known to make
man OF much energy Of character, generIy
lacks physical and muscular as well as mental
energy. To people older, who are maturity
nervous, and particularly TO the phlrCmatic.
10 those Of a cold and more than a Dutch tenn
perameut, tobacco may be comparatively
harmless, but even 10 these it Is worse than
useless. We would particularly waru boys
who wish to be anybody IN the world, to
avoid tobacco as they wouII a deadly poison.

4 New Mechanical Wonder.

The following account of Prof. SaIomon's en-
gine in Cincinnati, appeared in the Nonpariel of
August 9th, 1851. To satisfy the numerous in
quiries made respecting it, we publish what was
then said of the new mechanic motor:
We yesterday called upon Mr.. Salomon to sec
his new engine, by which carbonic acid gas is
made to answer all the purposes of steam. Some
twelve years ago he conceived the idea that there
Is power in this fluid far surpasses that Of steam
which might be applied to all the purposes ofme-
chanical power. At that time he Constructed an
engine, but it was defective; and since that ne
has continued to experiment. He has now so
perfected his machinery that the utility of this
new power can be fully seen. With common
whiting, sulPhuric acid and water, he generates
the gas. Five dollars worth Of these material
will serve to propel a boat across the ocean half
a dozen times, and if their he no leakage it will
keep the boat in motion until it wears out This
fluid has a pressure of $40 pounds to the square
inch while water has none except that Of gravity
Water at . boiling point gives pressure of Is
pounds. With the addition of 80 degrees Of heat
the power IS double, giving 80 pounds-and so
on doubling with every addition of 30 degrees of
heat until we have 3S4O pounds under a heat Of
425 degrees heat which no engine can endure
But with the carbon, 20 degrees ofheat give 1850
lbs; 10 degrees give 2IGO lbs: so degrees give
1920; that IS, 132 degrees less than boiling heat
gives greater power with gas, than $50 give by
converting water into steam! The result is that
itrequires $500 of expense to run boat to New
Orleans and back again with the old steam en-
CINE, while this one viii do the same work for
$50.
Mr.. Solomon has his engine in operation. It
is of25 horse power, and raises $4,000 pounds up
and down FIVE times in a minute. He has it so
planted that its power may be seen. The engine
is so constructed as to be selEsustaining-ma
featuring its own gas, while a small furnace al
most half as large as a common furnace for heat
ing fat-irons, furnishes all the heat he desires!-
handful Of charcoal does the work and his boiler
Is about as large as a good sized cannon ball.

Such is rapid outline of the pub
JIG life of our candidate. He has
participated, since his retirement
from pubic life, in the political b titles
Iof his native State whenever called
upon to volunteer. Having, while in
Congress, distinguished himself by
resisting the spirit of aboitionism,
he has fought it at home, when ad-
yocated by the free-soil wings and
the Hale democrats; and it is to his
exertions mainly that the complete
overthrow Of both those factions has
been achieved in New Hampshire.
n o man enjoys more deep-seated
popularity than he does. His nomi-
nation will arouse an enthusiasm I'M
known since the days of "A. We

The following story, which we
copy from one Of our exc changes, is
decidedly a "good 'un.'
European papers state that a girl
islnow being exhibited in Paris, and
attracting great attention, who
possesses the power Of turning round
on one leg for the space Of time
which, were we not assured of the
fact by an eye witness, who has just
arrived in New York from Hayre, we
should hesitate to believe possible.
On one occasion, Mademoiselle An
geline performed three hundred eyo-
lutions in minute! She does, not
appear at ali giddy after the opera
ton, and is a remarkably pretty and
finely formed|person. Her feet are
very small, but Of a singular muscu-
lar developement.
Perhaps the most striking part Of
the exhibition is where Mile Ange-
line fits circular saw to her waist,
in order that the visitors may test the
force with which she spins, by apply
ing pieces Of wood to the saw.

SINGULAR DEArH.-A man of the
name of Bur rs, says the Baltimore
Clipper, died a few di] ys since from
poison being commuh icated to his
system by diseased horse. 1t ap-
pears that the deceaseH had a horse
afflicted with the glah ders, and du-
ring the administration of medicine
thrust his hand in the nimal's mouth.
One of the fingers Of the hand had
been previously cut and the flesh
laid open, and the pois onous virus en-
tering this wound, modification soon
ensued. A physician was called in
to amputate the limb, but perceiving
that the poison had penetrated to
every portion of the unfortunate
mans system, the professor declined
performing the operation, stating
that no earthly skill could save his
life. After lingering in great agony,
death finally closed the scene. The
corpse presented blackened, hideeus
appearance, and afforded a dreadful
warning to those who heedlessly
tamper with diseased animals.

The VETo We do not remember
to have seen the whig doctrine, that
the President should not Veto an
act of Congress save upon constitu-
tlonal grounds, formally abandoned.
We presume it is yet an article of
the whig creed. See, then, the dam
ger of putting the whig party in pow
er in this: $ Wen fight, say Southern
wings, IF the fugitive slave law is
repealed But an act repeating the
law would not be unconstitutional,
and your President could not veto
such an act without violating "whig
principles. He would be'compelled
to. sign it So by putting wing
President n power, on whig princi-
pies, the only barrier between fanat-
ical majority and the fighting point
of.southern wings is removed Are
they willing to run the risk Of a
practical application Of their own
principles?

Hon. THos. H. BENTON in his let
ter of acceptance Of the nomination
as candidate for Congress, in the
st. Louis district, Mo, defines his
position on the Compromise, and sets
forth his views relative to Slavery, to
be, in substance, as follows:
1st. He was ard is opposed to
the Compromise.
I'd. He does not fear Tor the
safety of the Union; and thinks it in
no danger of dissolution from the
agitation of the slave question.
Sd. He hates slavery; says he
says he got his hatred Of slavery out
of the Virginia school, fifty years
ago, and out of Tucker S notes on
Blackstone.
4th. He was and is opposed to
the extension of slavery over terrific
ry where it does not exist; and says
he has and always will oppose its ex-
tension.
9th. He ridicules most merciless-
ly the idea that the institution of
slavery is in danger; and cites the
fact that slaves now command a high
er price in the market than they ey-
er have done-which is to his mind
proof positive that the institut ton is
in no danger.

Pretty Talk.

The definite position taken by ma
ny wings in the South, on the Com
promise-the all-absorhing political
topic of the taken in a literal
sense, without any reference to the
past history of that party, would lead
the county to conclude that they
cannot be diverted from it; and that
nothing short Of an actual avowal of
the fnality of the Compromise meas
pres, by I he candidate OF their party,
over his own signature, can satisfy
their minds of his fitness for the
Presidency. We have a right to
presume, that the slightest equiyo-
cation will not Debut th at they
must have positive and direct "thus
saith the Lord They will not per-
init the Convention to select man
who can give no better guar antee Of
his sOundness upon the Compromise,
than that he expresses himself in
favor of their finality, in his street
talks. and at the same time refuses to
put it on paper. We have right,
we say. to conclude that q candidate
thus started would fail to receive the
vote of the wings in the South. ~
Whether they will sustain this con-
clusiou, time alone wills tell. We
trust they will; for, Notwithstanding
we have ever been opposed to the
Compromise as whole, believing it
did not secure all our rights, yet, for
the sake of peace in the future, we
say, let it be fnal-let assdiscussion
of it now cease, and all opposition to
it be dropped.
The position which should be oc-
cupied by the aspirant to the Presi-
dency, is SO well and beautifully set
forth by Mr.. Gentry, one of the whig
members Of Congress from Tennessee,
in speech in that body recently, that
we cannot deny ourselves the pleas
ure of laying it before our readers,
with the hope that it will serve our
wing friends as political chart in
making up their minds preparatory
to voting in the coming Presidential
election. Read it, and remember it.
Lay it by for the day Of election:
1t is not enough that a Presiden-
tial candidate may be believed to have
been favorable to the enactment of
those measures, and himself individ-
ually in favor of maintaining them.
A far greater question is, by what in
huenceS is he surrounded? What
counseIs, what influences will control
the political organization upon which
he relies for his election? And what
will decide the policy Of
his administration in the event Of his

people, North and South, to the ac-
