Mr.. FILLMoRE's VISIT TO THE SoUTH.-We G
take the following from the Washington CORES
pondent Of the n. Y. Express
washington, Jan. 3I.---The President of
''the United States and part ofhis family, it is
snow pretty well settled, Will make a tour, after
''the 4th Of March, as far as New Orleans,
thence up the Mississippi and Ohio to Cinci-
'nnati Clevland, and home---Buffalo. Mr..
Secretary Conrad, Mr.. Stuart, and perhaps
other Secre aries it is suited, will 90 with them.
''The President never has been in the Southwest,
land is anxious to see the great valley of the
Mississippi, and its great mart, New Orleans
There is scarcely a man in the South who
will not be pleased to hear of Mr.. Fillmore's
intended visit, or who will not join in giving
him cordial, whOle-souled greeting. We have
ourselves heard our "Model President" as he
has been well called by men of all parties, ex-
press in the warmcst terms his desire to make
the Southern tour and to meet with his South
ern friends at their own homes. The enthu-
siasm which will every where be elicted by his
noble presence and the memory of the great
and patriotic deeds of his Administration, will
be irrepreSsible. 1t will be seen by the route
marked out for him in the above paragraph
that he will pass Memphis on his way from
New Orleans northward. Will not our citizens
at once take the proper steps to offer him the
hospitalities of the city?The mere suggestion
of the proposition, we are certain, will insure
its adoption.-Memphis Enqunr.

PUT OUT THAT IMPUDEST RAsCAL.-While
the congregation were collecting at church, on
certain occasion, an old dark, hard Featured,
skin and bone individual was seen vending his
way up the aisle and taking his seat near the
pulpit. The officiating minister was one of
that class who detested written sermons, and
as for prayers, he thought they ought to be the
natural outpOurings Of the heart. Afterthe sing
ing was concluded the hour as usual was called to
PRAYER The genius we have introduced, did
not kneel, but leaned his head devotionately
On the back of the pew. The minister began BY
saying:
Father of all, in every age, BY saint and by
savage adored." Pope" said low but clear
voice near old hard-features. The minister, after
casting an indignant look in the direction of
the voice, continued whose throne sitteth on
the adamantinc hills Of Paradise, ,---@II-
ton again interrupted the voice The minister's
lips quivered for a moment, but recovering
himself began: "we thank thee. most gracious
father, that we are permitted to assemble once
more in thy name, while others equally meri-
toriors, but less favored have been carried
beyond that bourne from which no traveller
returns, Shakespeare interrupted the voice.
This was too much--Gput that inipudent
rascal ont, shouted the minister, -" CIR gina',T
calculated the voice in the same calm but
provoking manner.

JOHN ERICSSON.

John Ericsson, the inventor of Caioric Ship
was born in Sweden, in 1903. and is therefore
hfty years ofage. Hei of muscular, we'll de-
veioped, strongly knit frame, and has finely
developed head, phrenologically speaking.
The Literary World gives an interesting sketch
of history, from which we learn that he early
showed taste for mechanics, and at the age of
eleven he attracted the notice of Count Platan,
who obtained for him cadetship in an engn-
eering corps. He afterwards entered in the
Swedish armF, and was employed in the survey
of Northern Sweden. While occupied with this
favorite study of mechanics, he projected his
Flame Engiae. In 1926 he visited England.
While thersin 1929, competed for the prize
offered by Eiverpoof ana Manchester Rail-
way, for the best locomotive, and produced
the wonderful speed at that time, of fifty miles
an hour. His propeller, his semi-cylindrical
eugine, his centrifugal blower, his distance in
strument for measuring distances at sea, his
hydrotastic suage, his pyrometer, and other in
gcnious inventions, have already made the name
of Ericsson in the scientific world The caloric
engine, which has now arrived at the consum-
nation of success, was first brought before the
Scientific world of London twenty years ago,
and was rejected by men of science as an i'm
practicability, and as involving the absurdity of
perlv:ral motion. Farady, BRUNEI and Urc,
after mort resistance, finally conceded the
practi ca bility of the invention, and Farady en-
dorsed the caloric engine, in those famous lee
lures of his, before the London Institution
Fox, whose name is identified with success oc
the great London Exhibition, was a pupil of
Ericsson.
1t is we'll to give credit to those who really
prove, by their labors, benefactorS of their kind
nor should those who aim to be such, though
failing, to pass over in silence. Whether
the subject of this brief notice is to rank with
the first or last is yet uncertain though his
chances for the niche in the temple of fame
would seem hattering. Till his engine shall
displace those now in use on our oceans and
rivers his success cannot be assumed, nor the
high honor claimed for him be porperly accor
ded.-PHsburg Post.

SCIENTIFIC DoUBTs-THE Ericsson ENGINE.
The editor of the Scientific American, in a
lengthy article on the subject of Ericsson's Ca
loric Engine, does not admit that the new rival
of steam machinery has given that evidence of
its practical value, which is calculated to re-
move all doubts of its success. He says:
ave never can have the least earthly interest
in opposing any new invention, but when we
cannot see into its usefulness, we must say so,
or be recrcant to our duty as journalists. We
heartily wish success to Capt. Ericsson and his
eompatriots, forpatriots they arethe calorc ship,
Ericsson, is miracle Of faith and enterprise,
their energy and spirit deserve success and the
rra;se of,thc whole world. Neither our oppo-
site opinions as to its ultimate success as sub
stitute for steam, nor the adultation of all our
daily papers can make it successful or unsuc-
cessful. 1t has the real ris insia in it, success
ful it must be; if it has the riS nertiG in it,
fail it must. Its proprietors, it is said, are sat-
;S6ed with what it has at home; very well; they
need not care for our opinion, or the opinion of
onv disinterested men, about its success or fail
ure. After it has made few voyages across
tbe Atlantic, we will have some data upon
which to form correct judgment-for as yet
= has not done so well as Robert Fulton's first
boat, with its clumsy shape and bad machinery,
made seven miles per hour"
