The CALoRIc SHIP.-Appleton's Me.
chanics' Magazine for September, among
number of interesting articles, give:
the following account of the present
condition of the caloric ship:
The caloric ship Ericsson is now ly.
ing at the dock of Messrs. Hogg & Del
amater's Works, foot of North Thir.
teenth street. All the supply and wor.
king cylinders of the original construc-
ton have been removed entirely, with
their pistons, heaters, levers, regenera-
tors, and air-pipes. On the other hand,
there have been retained the bed-plate,
the principal framing, shafts, cranks,
the beautiful valve movement, and even
the connecting rods which, in the old
arrangement, transferred the motion
from the working-beams to the crank.
In place of the four huge sets of cylin-
ders standing perpendicularly, there are
to be two moderately-sized cylinders on
the line of the keel, and inclined to-
wards each other, making an angle with
the keel of about 45 degrees.
The supply cylinders are of the same
stroke, four in number. One is placed
on each side of each working cylinder,
and worked from the cross-head, in the
same manner as pumps are often placed,
on each side of the air-pump in con-
densing marine engines. 1t will thus
be seen that the present engines of the
Ericsson comprise two working and four
supply cylinders. The working cyln-
ders are each six feet in diameter, with
eight feet stroke. Speaking theoreti-
cally of both arrangements, these two
moderate sized double-acting engines
are designed to be as efficient as the
four large single acting ones previously
employed, in consequence of working
with higher pressure. In these en-
gines the same air is to be used repeat
edly under high pressure. This is the
difference between the present and the
former engines of the Ericsson. The
regenerator, in different form, but ac-
ting on precisely the same principles,
and with, 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 caloric en-
gine, and the supposition that if it had
been given upwould be equivalent tosup-
posing the caloric engine can obstacle
idea," which yet is far from being the
case.

ABSENCE OF MrND.-There is a
clergyman in Massachusetts, affected
with this eccentricity. who, in his absent
intervals is very likely to appropriate to
himself not only whatever handker-
chiefs may chance to come in his way.
but table napkins also are frequently
found in his pocket when returning
from social tea parties at his psrishion-
ers. This was so much habit that his
wife would search his pockets on his
return for the purpose of restoring the
articles speedily to their rightful owner.
One day his wife found in his side
pocket whole silk apron, strings and
all. He could give no account how it
came there--it was a mysterious affair.
A lady Of the parish however settled
the matter satisfactorily. In conversa-
tion with her guest after tea, on some
subject in which he felt much interest,
he mistook her apron, as she supposed,
for his handkerchief, and began to tuck
it away in his pocket. Knowing his
abstractedness, rather than break the
string of the discourse, she united the
apron string and let it go, not little
amused at seeing the whole, after two
or three efforts, snugly slowed away in
his capacious pocket.

BLEAK HOUSE. CoScLUDED.-We
have received from the Harpers the
concluding Numbers (l9 and coy Of
"Bleak House" and followed esther
to the end of her Narrative" which
breaks off in the midst of sentence.
The last scenes of this great drama are
full of pathetic interest and poetic beau
ty. All the prominent characters are
brought upon the stage before the cur
tain falls, and, as one marries, another
dies; and when all separate and disap-
pear, we feel that we are parting with
friends and companions whose daily
lives have become identified with our
own. Poor Richard Carstone, the vic
tinhof Chancery, dies upon the bosom
of his devoted wife, with the sad prom
Use on his lips that he twill begin the
world anew" A more touching death
bed scene can hardly be found in the
pages of history, or in the annals OF
actual life.
The marriage and sweet domestic
life of Esther Summerson throws radi-
ant charm over the closing picture, like
a stream of sunshine lighting up the
landscape, and compelling Nature to
smile through her tears at the close OF
stormy day. There is not { out OF
Shakespeare in all the realms of ro-
nance more lovely, womanly creation
than Esther Summerson.
"a perfect woman-nobly planned
To warn, to comfort, and command.
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller betwixt life and death;
A creature not too bright and good
For human natures daily food"
In the next two numbers of the
Weekly Mirror we shall give our readers
the two concluding parts of Bleak
House; and for this reason we forbear
to tell them how the story ends.

and who arranged everything with such
exquisite taste? l have been expecting
every moment to see the mistress of the
mansion step out.
We'll, there she is said Harry, lea
ding her gaily up to the looking glass.
4 only hope you admire her half so
much as l dol Do you think I've not
seen my spirited little wife struggling
with trial from day to day, suffering, en-
during, gaining victory over her own
spirit, silently and uncomplainingly.-
Do you think l could see all this, and
not think she was the dearest little wife
in the world?'
And tears and smiles struggled for
mastery as he pressed his lips to her fore
head
And now you will have nobody to
please here, but me, Emma Do you
think the task will be difficult?'

tory to the husband, was not intended
for you, dear reader, please excuse MISS

WHAT UNCLE SAM HAS DONE IN
SEvESTY-sEvEN YEARs.-Uncle Sam
was born as a nation seventy-seven
years ago. Since then he has whipped
his mother and one of his brothers;
thrashed the Barbary cousins; threat
ened France and made her pay up; and
"cleared docks" for battle with Austria.
He has set an example of liberty and
popular power that has thoroughly
frightened the despots of the earth, and
periled their ancient thrones. He has
grasped continent, and is fast covering
it with free, and educated, and thriv-
ing people. He has built more ships
than any other nation in the same time;
and his flag is now seen on every sea
and ocean, and in every harbor and
river. He has built more steamboats,,
more railroads, more telegraph lines,
more school houses, more churches,
more cities, in that seventy-seveny years,
than any other in five hundred years.
And he has printed more newspapers,
made more speeches, and done more
Dragging, than any other nation has
done in thousand years.-Pittsburgh

GRASS FED INDIANs.-One of the
California Journals has the following
statement relative to a new kind of food
adopted by the Digger Indians" as
they are called:
There are two considerable Indian
villages in this vicinity at the present
time, and the Indians, who looked as
lean and gaunt as half-famished wolves
during the past winter now appear to be
enjoying all the luxuries that an abun-
dant supply of beef and bread can af-
ford. The hills in the vicinity are YER
dant with nice tender clover, which is
deyoured by these poor savages with as
much gusto as an epicure would devour
the most dainty dish. They gather the
clover in baskets and prepare it for use
by heating large stones, and placing a
layer of clover, and then a layer of
stones. 1t soon becomes ready for use,
and each of them will eat a supply Of
clover thus prepared that would almost
satisfy horse.

find in one of our exchanges:
THE WHIG PARTY.
From the tops of lofty mountains
from the deep and sounding main
From valleys spreading far and wide
from city town and plain,
Comes the loud, exulting shout of th'
foes Of Scott and Clay,
ghe Wings are dead, the Wings arr

dead Frank Pierce has gained tn,
forgetful of the trophies won when un
4 der Tip and Ty,
fairt-hearted friends amid our rank

And traitors, with us but for spoil, pro
claim the party dead,
Although victorious in the field wher
Rough and Ready led.
But never can party die whose princi
Piles are just,
Whose leaders, gallant, brave and true
are such as nations trust,
Who in their party conflict, in the long
uncertain fight,
Rejoice when they are fortunate, but
more when they are right.
When the orange ripens on the oak
when on the pine the pear
When the lotus blooms with daisies
the birch with roses rare
When youths and blushing maidens for
get the art to love
When the lion match with the lamb, the
eagle with the dove,
The Wings, forgetful of their name,
shall then desert their cause,
And lesve to fierce Democracy the
country and its laws.
When o,ient pearls and golden sands no

Whendiamonds in the public streets are
tassed unheeded by,
Whei the great and glorious dollar hath
no charms upon its face,
Tim believe, but never sooner, that the
Wings have run their race.
long as our mighty rivers roll then
waters to the sea
Long as the Alleghanies lift their peaks
above the lea
Long as the halls of Tammany remain

Of rampant Locofocos seeking offices Of

So long shall the Wing party live, with
bays and laurels crowned,
And with hymns and lyrics in its praise
shall all the earth resound.

SHAPE OF THE WoRLD.-A village
school-master announced one day to his
scholars that a visitor was coming in
soon to, examine them.
"If he questions you in geography, "
remarked the teacher, che probably viii
ask you what is the form Of the earth,
and if you do not remember, you have
only to cast your eyes at me, and | will
show you my snuf-box to remind you
that it is round"
Now the teacher had two snuff boxes
one round which he used on Sundays,
and the other a square one, which he
carried on the secular days of the week.
The fatal day came; the visitor, as the
master had foreseen. asked one of the
scholars the form of the earth. He was
at first little embarrassed; but looking
towards the master who exhibited his
snuff-box, he Immediately answered
without the least hesitation: "Sir, it is
round on Sundays and square the rest
of the week"

THE RELIGION OF PAYING DEBrs.-
One of our religious exchanges has th.
following strong remarks on this subject
They drive the nail in to the head and
clinch it:
"Men may sophisticate as they please.
They can never make it right, and all
the bankrupt laws in the universe can
not make it right for them not to pay
their debts. There is sin In this neg
lect as clear and as deserving church
discipline as in stealing or false swear
ing. He who violates his promise to
paw, or withholds the payment Of a
debt when it is in his power to meet his
engagement, ought to be made to feel
that in the sight of honest men he is q
swindler.. Religion may be a very
comfortable cloak under which TO hide,
but if religion does not make a man
deal justly, it is not worth having"

SALE OF RoBEsPIERRE's GUILLoTISE.
Among the items of late French news
there is one which will be highly inter
esting to all of our readers. Among
a parcel of old government lumber re-
Gently ordered to be sold at auction to
the highest bidder in Paris, was the
identical guillotine of the horrible Reign
of Terror, and the basket belonging to
it, into which the heads of its victims
from ten to hundred per day
dropped, under the bloody system OF
Robespierre, including the head of that
heartless butcher himself. This horri-
bic machine, framework, sliding-knife,
and basket, certified by government
officer, were sold at public aution, be-
fore an immense crowd of spectators,
for fifty francs; and directly after the
articles were committed to a bonfire,
amid the cheers of the people. The
guillotine of Robespierre, preserved
among the relics of the first French
revolution for more than half century,
and then sold at fifty francs!

1t was an excellent off-hand speech.

THE GAIT.-One may Judge of the
spirit and disposition of man by his
ordinary gait and mein in walking
He who habitually pursues abstract
thoughts, looks down on the ground
He who is accustomed to sudden i'm
pulses, or is trying to seize upon some
necessary recollection, looks up with a
kind of jerk He who is a steady,
cautious, merely practical man, walks
on deliberately, his eyes straight before
him; and, even in the most musing
modes, observe things around sufficient
ly to avoid porter's knot or butchers
tray. But the man with strong gam
glions-of pushing, lively temperament,
who though practical, is yet specula-
tiye-the man who is emulous and ac-
tive, and ever trying to rise in life-san-
guine, alert. beld-walks with spring,
looks rather above the heads of his fel-
low passengers, but with a quick easy
turn of his own, which is lightly set on
his shoulders: his mouth is a little open;
his eye is bright, rather restless, but
penatrative; his port has something of
defiance; his form erect, but without
stiffness. ss t sz 80
