KNOWLEDGE OF Coon AND EvIL.--Man
must know good and evil, or he knows
nothing, for knowledge has necessarily
these two aspects; but il does not neces-
sarily follow, that he must practice them
both One is given them to be cherish
ed, and the other TO be subdued-one as
a source Of comfort and happiness, the
other as stimulant 10 labor and indus
try. All industry originates in our exer-
lions to subdue evil. Evil is the great
mother Of invention. We feel want,
and endeavor to supply it; we feel an in.
convenience, and we inven, something to
remove it; we feel naked, and we pro-
vide ourselves with clothing; we feel
hungry, and we cultivate the earth for
food; we become tired Of common food,
and 90 in search of luxuries.

THE EDITORS ADVISERS.

Says one, your subjects are to grave,
Too much morality you have
Too much about religion;
Give me some witch or wizard tales,
With slip-shod ghosts, with fins and scales,
Or feathers like a pigeon.
/ love to read, another cries.
Those monstrous fashionable lies
In other words, those novels,
Composed of kings, and queens, and lords,
OF border wars and gothic hOrdes,
That used to live in novels.
Mono, cries one, we've had enough
OF such confounded love-sck stuff,
TO craze the fair creation;
Give us some recent foreign news,
OF Russian, Turk, the Greek and Jews,
Or any other nation.
Another cries want more fun,
witty anecdOtc or pun,
A rebus or riddle;
Some long for missionary news,
And some, for worldly carnal views,
Would like to hear q fiddle.
Another cries, l want to see
A .jumbled up variety
Variety in all things,
A miscellaneous hodgc-podge print
Composed-only to give that hint
OF multifarious small things.
want some marriage news, says miss
1t constitutes my highest bliss
To hear of weddings plenty,
For in a time of general rain,
None suffer from a drought, tbs plain
At least not one i'm twenty.
Iwant to hear Of Deaths says one,
OF people totally undOne,
BY losses fire or fever;
Another answers, full as wise,
I'd rather have the fall and rise
OF racoon skins and beaver.
Some signify a secret wish
For now and then savory dish
OF politics to suit them
But here we rest at perfect case,
For should they swear the moon was cheese,
We never would dispute them.
OF grave or humorous, wild or tame,
Lofty or low, It's all the same,
Too naughty or too humble,
And every editorial wight
Has nought to do but what is right,
And let the grumber grumble.

GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1853

The CLAIMS OF KosZTA.--A portion OF the
American press has found fault with Captain In
graham for having based his claim to Koszta on
the ground that the Hungarian was an American
citizen, when in fact the man had never been
naturalized, but only declared his intention to
become so. We cannot, however, join in these
eensures Of Captain lngraham. If we are to err
at all as nation in matters of this kind, let us
err on the side of liberty and humanity.
But we cannot admit that the gallant COM
mander erred at ALL Koszta had, by a solemn
act while in this country, renOunced his allegi-
ance to Austria, and declared his intention OF be-
coming citizen Of the United States. That
the act of naturalization was not consummated
was not his fault, but grew out of the laws of
the Republic, which exacts period Of proba-
ton from applicants prior to admitting them to
full citizenship. But as this probation is intend
ed chiefly to protect our institutions, it would
be cruel to stretch its operation further than
was necessary for this purpose, but especially
such to make it a plea for leaving the hunted
victims of absolutism to the mercy Of their pur-
suers, and rejecting their agonzng call on us for
aid.
We trust that the administration, therefore,
will take high ground on this subject Instead
of allowing such mere formal objections to de-
StIoy TIE hopes Oh hOSZIa, we OuBnI W InSlSL
that, when man has renounced his allegiance
to his native land, and has announced his inten-
ton to become citizen Of the United States,
he is already sufficiently naturaized to have a
claim on the stars and stripes" for protection.
He is, indeed, not full member of the craft, for
he is still serving his probationary apprentice
ship, but he is under the common Bgis which
overshadows us all, and entitled to its shelter.
He is not yet quite citizen as between himself
and the republic, but he is citizen as between
himself and foreign nations. For purposes of
protection from the tyranny of other powers his
citizenship is complete.
But all agree that, even if Kostza could not
be claimed as an American citizen, he could have
been as a man who threw himself on the pro-
lection of the United States. For in Turkey,
under treaties with the various Christian pow
ers, every foreigner can choose for himself what
power he will be under the jurisdiction of, and
can invoke the aid of that power to protect him
even against the Sultan himself Koszta, by
having an American passport, was under Amer
lean jurisdiction. His release, therefore, should
have been instantaneous.

Appleton's Mechanics Magazine for Septem-
Der, among number of interesting articles, gives
the following account of the present condition
Of the Caloric Ship:
"The Calorc ship Ericsson is now lying at the
dock of Messrs. Hogg g. Delamaters Works,
foot of North Thirteenth street. All the supply
and working cylinders of the original construc-
ton have been removed entirely, with their pis-
tons, heaters, levers, regenerators, and ar.pipes
On the other hand there have been retained the
bed-plate, the principal framing, shafts cranks,
the beautiful valve movement, and even the con-
Meeting rods which in the old arrangement,
transferred the motion from the working beam
to the crank In place of the four huge sets of
cylinders standing perpendcularly, there are TO
be two moderated lv-sized cylinders on the line
of the keel, and inclined toward each other, MAX
ing an angle with the keel of about AS degrees.
The supply cylinders are of the same stroke,
four in number. One is placed OH each side Of
each wOrkng-cylinder, and worked from the
cross-head, in the same manner as pumps are
often placed, on each side of the air-pump in
condensing marine engines. 1t will thus be
seen, that the present engines of the Ericsson
comprise two working and four supply cyln-
ders. The working cylinders are each six feet
in diameter, with eight feet stroke. Speaking
theoretically of both arrangements, these two
moderate,sized doube-acting engines, are de-
signed to be as efficient as the four large single
action ones previously employed in consequence
of working with higher pressure. In these
engines the same air is to be used repeatedly un-
der high pressure. This is the difference be-
tween the present and the former engines of the
Ericsson. The regenerator, in different form,
but acting on precisely the same principles, and
with it, it is presumed, precisely the same effect
for good or i'll, is retained and continues to be
relied on as the chief economic feature This
is the fundamental feature of the calorc engine,
and the supposition that it had been given up,
would be equivalent to supposing the caloric
engine an obsolete idea,' which is yet far from
being the case"

establishment, during the year ending Septem-
Der l, 1853, shows that the propretOrs must
have had small army TO provide for. 1t also
shows that they have given them all the luxu-
res, as well as the necessaries of life. The CON-
missary department of the Metropolitan is
very important one. Among the leading articles
Of consumption, we notice
Beef, 4l8,0OO lbs; lamb and mutton, $500
head; veal, $50 head fish and lobster, 10000
lbs; oysters and clans, 626,OOO; poultry and
game, III 900 head ham and pork, $1,000 lbs !;
eggs, 7S9, 900 milk and cream, 100000 quarts !;
-four and corn meal, $500 bbls; fruits and veg
etables, value $4,000; brandy and other liq-
uors 6,322 gallons; champagne, 81, ,l60 bottles,
sherry, Madeira, &C., 22,9l2 bottles claret and
white wines, l8,942 bottles. This is independ-
ent of malt liquors, cordals, cooking wines, &c.
The beef consumed last year in this house re-
Quired drove of one thousand head 10 supply.
When we consider that this number was requir-
cd for one hotel in this city, we can form pref
ty good idea of the immense herds it must re-
quire to supply such population as New York
contains. This undoubtedly, will astonish the
Vegetarian Society, and perhaps, provide more
effective arguments in favor of cabbage heads
and cold slangh. The enumeration of the arti-
ces consumed, shows that the annual expendi-
lures must be immense. and that large receipts
are necessary to furnish means to meet such an
outlay. This luxury and extravaganza cannot
be supported without great cost, and the guests
| who pay bills with alarming totals, must not
suppose for moment that it all goes into the
proprietors' pockets.
The gross cash receipts of the Metropolitan
Hotel, for the year ending September /, 1853,

Six stages and twenty carriages are constantly
employed in transporting passengers to and from

their most sanguine anticipations. Their house

| The Crystal Palace and other attractions in New
York have drawn thousands of strangers to the
city, and all the hotels, both great and small
have been crowded, and the propretors have
been coming money"

THE WHOLE STORY IN NUTsHELL.-The AL
bany Knickerbocker, under the head of" lnde-
pendence and Progress" tells the whole story of
our nations birth and greatness, and progress in
the arts and sciences, in remarkably short par
agraph for theme so comprehensive. The style
is rather racy, but decidedly to the point.
at is seventy-seven years ago to day since Un-
Gle Sam was born,-and what an eventful seven
ty-seven years they have been! Seventy
years ago the United States wos a remote circum-
stance; they now compose the second CONNER
cia nation in the world. In three quarters of a
century they have revolutionjzed the world,
built up an empire, licked our mother and fem
ccd in continent. In less time than it took
Methuselah to get out of swaddling clothes, we
have made more canals tanned more lightning,
and harnessed more steam, and ut greater
cost in money than the whole revenue Of the
world could have paid for, the day he got out of
his time. In seventy-fve years we have not
only changed the politics of the earth, but its
wearing apparel-cotton shirts being as much
the offspring Of the United States as ballot
boxes and democracy. Since the fourth of July,
1776, the whole world has been at school, and
what is far better has learned more common
sense than was taught in the previous four thou
sand years. The problem of self-goverment
has been solved, and its truth made immortal rs
Washington or yellow corn. Its adaptation to
all the wants Of the more aspiring nation has
been made most signally manifest. Under its
harmonious working, Republic has grown up
in an ordinary lifetime, that would have taken
any other system of government thousand
years to have brought about. Yes, in less time
than it has taken some greenhouse plants to
arrive at maturity, we have builta nation that
has spread itself from Maine to Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacifc-a nation that has
caught more whales, licked more Mexicans
planted more telegraph posts, and owns more
steamboats,, than any other nation that has evel
| lived, or ever will live"

PERPETUAL THIRsT.-Some years ago we
gave detailed account of the condition and ap-
pearance of man who was then supposed to
be the greatest drinker among men in America,
if not on the globe. He is yet living in excel
lent health, at the age of 58 years. and still re-
mains in state of perpetual thirst. The indj-
vidua alluded to, is Mr.. James Webb, of Fair
Haven, Mass. Under every aspect in which the
case may be examined, it is remarkable, and per-
haps unparalleled in the annals of physiology.
In early infancy the quantity of water he con-
sumed was so large as to astonish those who
witnessed it. A development in size and weight
of the body required a corresponding increase
in the quantity of his aquatic potations. Under
ordinary circumstances, three gallons of water
is rather short allowance for him, and it wo'ld
be impossible, it seems, for him to live through
night with less than pailfuI With this
amount of cold water daily poured into his stom-
ach, Mr.. Webb has been in good health and spir-
its. We leave the statement of the curious facts,
unembarrassed by comment, and simply ask of
learned editorial friends the probable cause of
this unsatisfied thirst.
