From The Ne,c York Euening Post, Democratic I
Borrower of Trouble.
The Washlngton .Ln,on homileticallu Jaws:

- - s'", ~Hl0n nOtnletlCaly Gays:
a, is refreshing to turn from the complaints o.
the Wing press in regard to the ,dispensetion OF
the patronage of the General Government to the
elevated and enrolling duties and responsibilities
of the Executive, as indicated by the signs of the
times, or they lay broad and plain before him
in the path of the near future. 1t is like ascend
ing from the malaria of the Pontine marshes to She
mountains of Italy, and drinking in health and
inspiration from that heavenly prospect which has
been celebrated by the poet and the painter oi
hundreds of years"
We have heard nothing of any Wing complaints
about the Administration except from the Wash
ington Union. That print has been laboring with
superfiuous zeal for some time to make the coun
try believe that the President has about as much
az he can do TO get along against the current o.
opposition which the Union is helping him te
stem The fact IL. no better evidence of the
strength of the Administration could be required
than may be found in the sightness of the impres
sion which the Unions constant defence of 1t hai
produced upon its popularity. We do not see but
il Is lust as strong now as it was before the Union
commenced telling the country what nobody else
had heard Of, or would even have suspected, thai
the Wing press of the country was making ter
rbe ravages upon its character. We remembe'
once to have heard famous wag OF this city say
during the closing year of Tyler's administration
that be felt that his country was Eafe for, said he
ga government that can stand such President al
John Tyler can stand anything" We may say
with equal propriety that an adminstr alton tha
can stand the kind OF support that Presiden
Pierce has been receiving of late from the Union
ia equally beyond the reach OF danger.

FATAL EFFECTS OF THE HEAT.-Tbe excessive
heat Of the three days preceding yesterday has
caused great number Of deaths in all our princi-
pal Ciues. The New York Tribune states that
nearly forty sudden deaths reported TO the
coroners Of the city of New York and vicinity on
Wednesday, some sixteen of which were from sun
stroke. On this subject the New York Times
remarks.
"Our city columns this morning contain some
very cad evidences of the intensely not weather
which has afflicted our citizens past day or two.
No lees than sixteen inquests were held YESTERDAY
on the bodies of individuals-m Irish labor
ers-who had died in this city from 'sun strokes -

tiou while exposed TO the heat of the atmosphere

burg several deaths also occurred from The came
c. use
During the continuance of her like tina
which we are now enduring, people cannot be too
cautious how they unduly exert themselves. Es-
pecieily should aliens newly arrived in this coun
try, be on their guard.
"Of the many fatal cases OF coup de solicit which
We record, the majority were those OF emigrants
who had landed, some a few weeks, others only a
few daysago.

weather And refreshing the cooling drinks
dispensed at the soda water fountains great dis
erection should be used in drinking them Tenn

temperance in brandy"

THE COLD WATER SAFETY STEAM ENeISE.-A
few days ago we had opportunity of witnessin e
the operation of the Cold Water Safety Steam
Engine of Mr. Tippett, which we described in our
columns last week We were much gratifed
with the working of the model, and can see no
reason why the engine may not be brought into
general use. Ii occupies much less space than any
engine now in use. It will require but about one.
half the fuel of the common engine. 1t required
no boiler, and uses no hot water. Ii converts cold
water into steam instantly, retaining all it's ex-
paneve power, and instantly forces it into the
working cylinder 1t ia secure from explosion.
These are some of the advantages this invention
is supposed to possess, and, if true only in psrt it's
Introduction into is eetined to work wonder
full revolution in all operations employing steam
as motive power, and must place ts inventor
among the benefactors of the age. Many years Of
his life have been devoted to bringing this great
invention to perfection, though he was struggling
most of the time with poverty. He thinks he has
now perfected the invention, though his working
models imperfect. He is now advanced in years,
and without means to construct or put engine
into operation.
He invites scientific men and practical nechan-
les TO cali and examine his machine, and ii will
give him pleasure to explain its principles to them
and put ii in operation, that they may what it
is. how it works, and crticise il.

CULTIVATION OF RIcE.--Mr. Brooks, the editor
of the New Yor, Express, in one of his letters from
the South, thus speaks of the rice plantations of
South Carolina:
81 can say but little, however, for the genera!
cultivation of the country | have seen. Years ago
the State produced about 90 900 900 pounds OF rice,
and the plant is just now peeping pretuiy above
the ground 1t is sixty years since the nhahtants
of South Carolina begun 10 use the lands Tor TINS
sort of cultivation. Originally rice was upland
plant but time and experience demonstrated that
the haunta of the aigators, (long a most produc-
tive crop here &c the low lands, oyer which the
tides flowed, would be better than the upland
country. In the swamps the weeds are destroyed
by flooding the rice lands, whereas in the country
il is necessary to root out these innovators OF the
soil by hand labor. Nature is The purifier in the
one case and the hard work o! men in the other.
oOn the low land the method OF culture is Gu
rious to northern eyes. The seed ls EoWn IN the
bottom of trenches, and in rows, about the
middle OF March The seeds are covered for sew
eral inches with water in order 20 give sprouts To
the seed. In four or five days the water lie drawn
off and left for month, or until the plant Is three
or four inches high, when the field is again SUB
merged for a fortnight III order to destroy the
weeds. The land is then kept dry for two months,
when ii is again submerged, and in this state the
grain rpens, is cut by sickles or hand fails, the
outer husk is detached by passing 1t between a
pair of ll-5tcnes, and the inner peliic!e is sub
lected to trituration under pe5tle Weighing from
two hundred and Fifty to three hundred pounds.
Sometimes il is exported in the rough state, which
preserves its sweetness, and sometimes as coon rs
winnowed ii is put into casks of six hundred

CoMMurATIos OF NEARy's SENTENoE.-The re-
prieve granted by the Governor in the case of
Thomas Neary, who sentenced to death for
the murder of his wife, will expire to- morrow, and
preparations for the execution commenced
yesterday A reporter who visited the prison yes
terday says that Neary appeared deeply sensible
OF the enormty of his crime, and in conversation
with the keeper remarked that "the consciousn meas
of the desert Of the punishment would greatly
lessen its severity" The convict also told the
keeper that he "was perfectly sane, but had some
queer ideas Immediately after committing the
murder" Last night, however, the sheriff received
the following notice by telegraph:
JOHN ORsER. esq.,
Sheriff of the city and county OF New York:
SIR: have decided to commute the sentence Of
Thomas Neary from that of death to Imprisonment
for life. have received such representations from
medical men, with respect TO his sanity, that
have concluded that his execution would not be
productive of any advantage TO the public.
