From California

The Daniel Webster reports the loss of an.
other Vanderbilt steamer, S S Lewis, on her
passage from San Juan del Sud She got
ashore north of Bolinos Bay, at three o'clock
in the morning., and finding it impossible to
get off, all the passengers, four hundred in num-
ber were landed safely. Nearly all the bag
gage was saved, but a considerable quantity
of specie, the ships plate, and the vessel, are
a total loss.
1t is supposed that the loss will amount to
100000. The steamer Jenny Lind exploded
while going from Alviso to San Francisco
having one hundred and thirty passengers,
mostly from San Jose Sixty were badly
scalded, and about twenty dead, including
seven children. The survivors aud dead bod
les were brought to San Francisco by the
steamer Union.

Winds.

The PUMA winds are those dry and piercing
ly cold winds which, for four months each year,
sweep from the snow-capped peaks of the Cor
dilleras, over the puma or table lands between
the Cordileras and the Andes. The Peruvi-
ans preserve the bodies of their dead for ages,
by simply exposing them TO these winds, or to
the cold dry air Of the mountains.
The sIMooN, from the Arabic sanauad, signi-
flying hot and poisonous, is the name applied
to the intensely hot and dry wind which oc-
casionally prevails on the plains of Asia, and
on the deserts of Africa The temperature OF
the air rises to from 12o deg. to l30 deg,
f., and the air is filed with fine particles Of
quartz sand, which are hot and burning to the
touch ard intensely irritating to the eyes,
throat and lungs Of the uckess traveller who
is oyertaken by this fearful blast The thirs-
~ air drinks up, with equal ayditv, the mois-
ure OF his body, through the pores of his skin.
(thus increasing his already raging thirst
and through the pores of his eathern bottle,
lis only means of a!leyiating his suffering
The sIRocco is the name given to an ex-
tremely hot but moist wind, which prevails
from the S. E., on the islands of the Mediter-
ranean, and along the Italian shores. 1t, like
the simeon, is charged with fine sand, which it
receives from the African deserts, while its
moisture is taken from the Mediterranean.
During the summer and autumn it is pecu-
larly distressing to the inhabitants of those
regions; an oppressive sensation Of heat is then
felt, the skin is then bathed in perspiration,
the body becomes weak and languid,
and the mind dispirted." These effects are
produced by the great heat, which creates a
need of increased perspir0tion, and by the
moisture, which, a. the same time, almost en-
tirely prevents peTspiration.- Ohio Journal ct

The Ladies Of America.

1t is strange that the oppressed condition
of woman" should be more vehemently insist
ed upon and loudly deplored in the United
States, than in any other part of the civilized
world. Is it because the appetite for homage
grows by what it feeds on, that the profound
respect with which ladies Of America are
treated by the opposite sex fails to satisfy
their champion? Relieved from the rough
cares of life, waited upon, carressed, all but
worshiped; deferred to in public, supreme at
home; regning over the hearts,and exercising
powerful, although unacknowledged influ-
ence over the heads of mankind; the queen
bees of the human hive, for whose satisfaction
we toll, scheme, and hoard, often times peril
ling life that they may enjoy its comforts and
luxuries-what would they more!
The greatest evil that could be inflicted
upon the gentle creatures would be, to grant
to them all the, privilege claimed for them
by their self-consti;uted representatives. The
prestige would be gone. Josting us on change
bidding with US in the market, arguing with
us on the bar, legisating with us in the Sen
ate, sharing, or trying to share, with Us, all
the Iabors that are now imposed upon the
tougher muscles and harder minds of men,
they would soon loose the re fnement, the del
icacy, the moral beauty, and even the person
al attractions which now render them objects
of admiration. We should no more bow down
and worship them. They would be baffled,
and thrust aside by superior strength and &C.
tivity abroad. and no longer have the power
to bind US in silken chimes at home.
Is not their sway almost absolute? Make
room for ladies' is the shibboeth of the
American gentleman. In all social gatherings
at all public amusements, in omnibus, the car
the steamboat, on the side walk, and even il
the house Of God, we concede to them the
place of honor. We rise that they be seated
we step out into the storm that they may come
under shelter.
For them we make the rough places smooth
for them we buy, and build, and beautify
The opera, the theatres, all shows, all luxurie'
are theirs without money and without price
They are attended upon with chivalrous de
yotion unknown even in Ia belle France, anc
manly hands are ever ready ITO avenge even

say again, what would they more?

The Junction Rail Road Injunction.

James More and others, VS.. the Junction Rail
Road Company and others, i n the Court of Com
mon Pleas of Ottawa county, Ohio.
On the Sd day of May. 1853, provisional in
junction was allowed in this case, enjoining the
Junction Rail Road Company from, directly or
indirectly, constructing Rail Road across the
Sandusky Bay, or upon any other route from San
'dusky to the Maumee River, than by the town of
Fremont; and enjoning the Port Clinton all
Road Company, and all other defendants, from
directly or indirectly, aiding in the construction
of the Junction Rail Road across the Bay, or on
any other rodte than by Fremont AT
the te rm of Court of Common Pleas OF Ottawa
county, just closed the defendants moved to dis E
solve or modify the injunction. The Court re-
fused TO dissolve modify the inju notion, except
as follows: "On motion to the court, 1t is order
ed that the provisional injunction all owed in this
case on the Sd of May, 1853, shall not be con
stFued as prejddicng the defendants others of
them, in the exercise of any lawful right that they
or any Of them may have, ifany, under the provis-
ions of the Oath section of the act of the General
Assembly Of this State, passed May lst, 1859, TO
provide for the creation and regulation of incorpo-
rated companies in the State of Ohio"
This Modification, or explanation, is not intend
ed to, and does not ry in the least the force Of
the original njunctiou--which did not prevent the
Junction Company from doing any act intended d
to promote, in good faith, the objects of its charter.
The 9th Section referred to, authorizes Rail
Road Companies to aid other Companies, under
certain circumstances, by subscription Of stock OF
otherwise, and to make any arrangements, con-
sistent with the objects OF their charter. But il
does not authorize a company, by any means, to
do ndirectly, what it is prohibited from doing di
rectly. 1t has been decided that the object Of
the Junction charter is to build Railroad TO Ere =
mont, thence west 10 the Maumee River and wes
lne Of ths State, and the Compan ny are enjoinet
from, directly or indirectly, constructing their Road
on amy other route. The present managers of this
Railroad Company may succeed for a time, through
the msrepre seniatons of their hired Press in i'm
posing upon the pnbIic, and also in squanderng the
means of the company in ntte nnpts TO evade il
charter and the law; but it will avail them moth
ing. The longer they persist in their unlawfu
course, the greater their final ruin. It may no
materially effect them, except in reputation, but il
will very materially effect the pockets ofthe stock
holders of the Junction Company.

MEMoRY-RECoLLECTI
Memory retains past ideas without any, or
with little effort; recollNion implies an effort
to recall ideas that are past Webster.
TO MEMoRIzE-To COMMIT TO MEMORY.
To memorize means 10 record; to hand
down to memory by writing
Ex.-They neglect to memorize their con-
quests of the Indians.-Speneer.
To cause to be remembered.
Ex.-They meant to memorize another Col
gotha.- -Shak Webster
To commit to memory, to get or to learn by
heart, mean the same thing, and are thus de-
fined by Webster; To learn so perfectly as to
be able to repeat withou: copy. Hence, it
is not correct for teacher to require his pu-
pill to n,emorize that he desires him TO yet or
learn by heart or TO commit to memory. We
have observed that most teachers use the
word memoyize in an incorrect sense.
TO REMEMBER-To REcoLLECT.
We remember what has happened without
hl( SIedI euOTt, We TeCOtIeCt aIler some eA-
ertion of the memory. When the idea of some
past occurrence presents itself spontaneously
to the mind, that occurrence is remembered; !;
but when, after several attempts, an idea be-
comes clear and distinct, it is then recollccted
1t will therefore be more proper to say-"I
do not remember and, 81 cannot recolect"

AT recent sitting of the French Academy
Of Sciences. it was demonstrated by a learned
academician, from various careful experiments
on the brains of animals, that the motive pow

the nervous system, is not bigger than the

pends the life of the nerves. which is the life
of the animal. Whatever portion of the ner-

BurStS of EIOguenCe,

The following bursts of cloquence was de-
livered before q court of justice in Pennsylva-
MIA.
"Yours honor sits high on the adorable
seat of jnstice, like the Asiatic rock of Gibral-
tar willie the eternal river of mercy, like the
cadaverous of the valley, flows meandering at
your feet"
The following is the commencement Of
speech of a lawyer in New Jersey:
Your honors do not sit there like marble
statutes to be waited about by every idle
breeze"
Another orator thus commence his har-
angue:
"The important crisis which were about to
arrive have arroven,"
Another thus expatiated:
"The court will please to observe that the
gentlemen from the east has given them a
very learned speech He has roamed with
old Romulus, socked with old Socrates ripped
with Erip des, and canted with old Canthar
/ des' but what, your honor does he know
about the laws of Wisconsin"
Extract from the argument Of ayoung law
yer before Mississippi justice:
"May it please the COURT would rather
live for thirteen hundred centuries on the
small end of thunder bolt--swallow the cor.
ners of Virginia worm fence, and have my
bowels torn out by green briar, than TO be
thus bamboozled by these gentlemen"

new anecdote of John Randolph of Roam
oke is always welcome, this is given by the
NorforIk News
He was travelling through part of Virginia
with which he was unacquainted; during the
meantime, he stopped during the night at an
inn near the forks of the road. The inkeeper
was fine gentleman, and, no doubt, one Of
the first families of the Old Dominion. Know
ing.who his disting guished guest was, he en-
deavored during the evening to draw him in
to conversation, but failed in all his efforts.
But in the morning when Mr.. Randolph was
ready to start, he called for his bill, which on
being presented, was pad The landlord,
still anxious 20 have some conversation with
him, be began as follows:-
(Which way are you travelling, Mr. Ran
dolph? 'Sir!' said Mr.. Randolph with
look of displeasure
Il asked said the landlord, which way are
you travelling"
Have paid you my bill"
do owe you anything more?'
Mo-
'Well, I'm going just where 1 please; do
yo1 understand
Yes
The landlord by this time got somewhat
excited, and Mr.. Randolph drove of. But, to
the landlords surprise, in a few minutes sent
one of the servants to inquire which of the
forks of the road to take Mr.. Randolph not
being out of hearing distance the landlord
spoke at the top of his breath. Mr. RAN
dolph, yon don't owe me one cent, just take
which road you please
1T is said the air turned blue with curses

We clip the following from the Sandusky
Register of the llth.
The Freigh: Train which left here at six
O'Clock yesterday morning, on the Sandusky,
Mansfield & Newark Railroad, was thrown
from the track near Lexington, by coming in
contact with COW. Being near a Bridge
which spans small stream, the Engine was
precipitated into the water; and we are pain
ed to state that the Conductor, Mr., JAMES
TEEaARDNER, of Mansfield, the Engineer
JOSEPH ST. PETER, and the Fireman, named
MoLEAR, were instantly killed. The two latter
were horribly mutilated. Mr.. TEEGARDEN, it
is said, was thrown into the water, and when
the dispatch was sent, his body was still under
the ruins. The Engineer resided at Newark,
and leaves family. We have not learned
the probable amount of damage done to the
Train, by this sad accident. No loss of life
has hitherto occurred on this Road for nearly
a year, and it has been remarkably free from
accidents of serious nature. But, against those
resulting from the common practic of allowing
cattle to run upon Railroad tracks, it is nearly
impossible to guard.
