The Ericsson Engine.

The Improvements in the machinery Of
the Ericsson ship which experience has Sug-
gcstcd, were, at last accounts, nearly COM
pleted, and il was expected she would be
ready to make her first voyage to Europe
before the opening Of winter. The success
of the principle of propulsion by the expan
sion Of heated air, is triumphantly estab
ished, and time will perfect its application.
Orders without number have poured in upon
the manufacturers for engines of this char
octer. One of the largest steamboat owners
on the Mississippi has made arrangements
10 apply them to his boats. Several Of the
leading Atlantic journals are about TO use
them, while the great saving of fuel has in
duccd mill owners to send in large orders
for them. We perceive that even Chile
has taken the necessary steps TO introduce
the new motor upon her waters, by granting
a leading capitalist the exclusive privilege
of applying il TO boats running upon her
rivers. The small space required for fuel
will render the Ericsson engine indispensa'
ble for vessels running between very distant
points, as between this port and China
England and Australia Owing 10 the i'm
mense amount of coal requisite for the voy-
age between these two last countries, the
Australian line of steamers by way of the
Cape Of Good Hope has proved a perfect
failure. Not one of six steamers running
upon that route has yet been able 10 make
even decent time, and the Colonists are loud
in their complaints. The age of steam is
fast passing away. The ingenuity of men
is wonderfully active in seeking a substitute
less dangerous and less expensive. Du
Tremblenz in France has discovered a
means of propelling machinery by the va
por of ether, which is approved by scien-
tiic men and has received the countenance
Of the Emperor. A leading capitalist Of
Lyons is now constructing at Nantes two
large iron vessels with engines on this prin-
ciple, to run between Hayre and n Yoik
The experiment 10 move machinery by the
vapor of chloroform has actually been tested
in the port of L'Orient, and proved entire
ly successful. The experiment was made
with the steamer Gallilee of 100 horse pow
er, and under the inspection Of the Minister
of Marine. After making several turns in
the harbor, she went out into the roadstcad
at the rate OF full nine knots an hour. All
who witnessed it were loud in their COM
mendations. The next Congress will prob
ably authorize line Of mail steamers be-
tween this port and Shanghae. BY that
time the Ericsson will have established her
superiority, and the Chinese steamers will,
without question, be supplied with engines
on the new principle.-LS F. Herald

purity of the blood it is widely and well known fact
that IVRIGH7S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS

SINGULAR Custom IN BoHEM1A.-A part Of
Bohemia, called Egra, seems to be the only
place where a wedding is not considered an
occasion OF rejoicing. There it would be deem
ed indecorous for bride to appear in white
garments, or adorn herself with jewels and
white flowers. She wears her usual black
dress, with a cloak of the same color, with
rosemary in one hand, and in the other veil,
with which to cover her during the ceremony.
In this dismal attire she demurely proceeds to
the church, attended by her relations, who pre-
serve the utmost soemnity Of countenance du-
ring the ceremonies Well, after all, we don't
know but that this is n more sensible Plan than
to have the regular Publications usual on such
occasions.

ORAScEBuRG, Feb. % 1858.

Gentlemen: ask little space in your col.
umns for tribute to one of the skifIl and en-
terprising establishments of your city. A few
DAYS since, | witnessed the operations of the
steam saw mill, of our worthy towusman, Dan
iel Larcy, Esq, the engine and machinery of
which was manufactured in your city, by }. n.
Eason and Brother. With amoderate head Of
steam, saw it cut a line in thirty seconds
through a stock twenty feet long, and squarring
fourteen inches; and in thirty-6ve seconds, it
easily cuts the same line and re sets for anoth-
er. After the machinery is little more worn
| have no doubt that it will average six thou
sand feet per day. The engine is thirty horse
power, strongly and elegantly built, and with
the entire machinery, reflects high credit upon
the manufacturers. The establishment is well
worth visit to any one engaged in the steam
sawmill business.

.JuNor AT TIE BATTLE or LoHATo.-Thc
evening before the battle Of Tomato, Junot,
having been Oh horseback all day, and rode
about twenty leagues in Carrying the orders of
the General in. Chief, lay down overwhelmed
with fatigue, without undre sing, and ready to
start up at the smallest signal. Hardly was
he asleep, when he dreamed he was on field
of battle, surrounded by the dead and the
dying. Before him was horseman: clad in
armor, with whom he was engaged; that cava-
,Iicr, instead of lance, was armed with a
scyhe, with which he struck Junot several
blows, particularly one Oh the left temple:
The combat was long, and at length they seized
each other BY the middle. In the struggle, the
vizor of the casque Of the horseman fell off,
and Junot perceived he was fighting with a
skeleton; soon the armor fell oil, and Death
stood before him armed with his scythe. Z" |
have not been allie to take Ytrl," said he, " but
| will seize one of your best friends. Beware
OF me!'
Junut awoke, bathed with sweat. The
morning was beginning to dawn ard he could
not sleep from the impression he had received.
He felt convinced that one of his brother aid
de.camps, Muiron or Marmont, would be slain
in the approaching fight. In effect il was so :;
Junot received two wnunds-one on the left
temple, which he bore to his grave, and the
other on his breast; but Muiron was shot
through the heart.

A SINGULAR FAMILY.-In small village in
the Bouches du Rhone, (Francc) there is fanli-
ly of three persons-husband, wife and daugh-
ter-who have made solemn VOW to preserve
the most profound silence. y traveller who
lately passed their dwelling, finding it necessary
to make some enquiries respecting his way,
applied to these eccentric people. Not receiving
any answer to bis questions, he repeated them,
wlen to his great astoniShmcnt, they, in a fit Of
exasperatian, seized cudgel, tongs and turn$pit.
and threatened linn with summary castigation.
This extraordinary conduct is explained by the
fact that the parties had become the dupeS Of a
clerical impostcr, who has taken advantage Of
their credulity by holding out to them the acqui-
stion of great treasure, on condition of their
maintaining strict silence. They have formed
the resolution to keep such silence for the space
of nine years, only one hali Of which term has
yet expired. But,as so complete in Introduction
Of the use of the tongue could not fail to become
intoerabe to the female portion of the f"mily,
the impostcr granted them to indulge their
natural propensity anywhere beyond the limits Of
their Commune. In order to avail themselves OF
this privilege the two women regularly repair
every market day to the little town of Betort,
where they enjoy the conversation Of their neigh
bors and mitigate to some degree the privation
which they voluntarily endure.
