The MAGNETIC SEWING MACHINE.
We have been shown samples Of work
done by the magnetic sewing machine,
now on exhibition at No. 40 St.
Charles street, which puts inthe shade
any needy work we have ever seen
from the hands of the most accom-
plished seamstress. The great superb
ty Of the magnetic machine over all
others heretofore invented, is that it
works with a double motion back
wards and forwards-when the other
machines only work one way.-True

LIQUOR BILL.-Governor Seymour
has vetoed the prohibitory liquor bill
(which recently passed both branches
Of the New York legislature. Tht
Albany Evening Journal says the
grounds upon which the veto is based
are substantially these:
LIST. That the bill violates the
right Of citizens, guaranteed by the
Constitution Of the United States, "a
be secure from unreasonable searches.
Domicils, heretofore guarded from all
searches except for stolen property,
are, by its provisions, to be searched
merely for evidence Of guilt.
I'd. That its provisions for the seiz-
ure, forfeiture, and destruction Of
liquors arc inconsistent with the guar
anty in the constitution of this State,
that private property shall not be
taken without compensation, nor with
out due proof Of law.
Sd. That It will weaken the cause
Of temperance, by associating it with
injustice and oppression.
4th. That it is so stringent and op-
pressive that it cannot be equally exc
cuted everywhere, nor fully executed
anywhere, and by remaining unexecu-
ted will diminish the popular respect
for the law and its officers.
The Senate on Saturday refused,
by yeas IA to nays IL, to pass the
bill over the governors veto. A mo-
ton to reconsider was lost by 10 to
Is.

~In 1850, a trial took place in
Connecticut, under the section Of the
Blue Laws, prohibiting kissing. The
offenders were Sarah futile and
Jacob Nowlice. 1t appears that Sa-
rah dropped her gloves, and Jacob
found them. When Sarah asked for
them, Jacob demanded a kiss for his
pay, and as the demand did not seem
extravagant, she adjusted it forthwith.
The facts were clearly proved. aud
the parties were each fined TWEEN
ty shillings.

WHERE DD THE Polka CONE FROM.

WHERE Dm THE PoLxA CONE IRON
This question is nov being asked b.
some Of the curious, who like totrac,
things to their origin, and not satisfet
there, would even go beyond. Thi
subject like all other subjects of study
and investigation, is attended with
difficulties, only met by those who
bolt boldly into the field Of investiga
ton with the determination not to
come out until tley drag out, some
thing in the way Of truth with them.
The origin Of the Polka is variously
ascribed; and on this as every other
subject Of inquiry, there is wide d.
versity Of opinion. Perhaps the only
way to arrive at the truth, is to look
at the dance itself. Take any man
with the very least sense Of propriety
allowed to depraved human nature,
and place him in a ball room or fash
ionable saloon, where the ton Of soci-
ETY. have assembled to have shop
say that the individual has never seen
anything Of the sort before, and ask
his opinion. What will he say when
he beholds the delicate female, dress
ed in the thinest cause stuff, whirling
round in close proximity, with some
moustached masculine, who has OBJ
tanned his experiences in the dance at
some brothel? Let his unclouded
sense Of shame look on them as they
dash about in the most lacivous fig
tres-the arm Of the gentleman"
grasping the waist Of the lady in
tight embrace-their bodies in con-
tact-cheek touching cheek-breast
to breast, and eyes quickened by pas
sion, bent with commendable shame on
the senseless floor, or where m odesty
forbids the mention? Ask the man
what he thinks of this, and where he
thinks the vulgar fashion could have
originated; and he will point to the
ball room Of the Partisan CAFE, or the
brothel in the suburbs of London.
And yet because it is the fashions our
must submit to it, and their
parents countenance what common
sense declares to be the very next step
% the very lowest grade Of indecent
We have no desire to les
zen proper amusement, and have not a
word to say against dancing in the
main which is healthy and graceful
but it is the species of in
that has been admitted by
he fashionable world, to degrade it
nto what it is; against which we rail
nd against which we would set the
ace Of every virtuous person in the
community. To do so, we feel that it
5 an easy task. We need not say to
ur young ladies, that hugging dances
re falling into disuse, to persuade
hem Of their improperly; but NEAR
show them up" as they not only
ppear to be, but really are: and it .
ill Danish the indecent fashion from !

Comite river never was known to be
SO high at this season as it is now. l,

cept in boats, and the country people
east, of that stream, are cut off from

nearly all under water, and very seri.

EFFECT OF FLooD ON ARTISAN
WELLs.-The Montgomery cores.
pondent of the Charleston Courier
writes to that paper that, during the
late overflow Of the Alabama river,
the Artesian we'll at Montgomery dis
charged much more water per minute
than at any previous time. While the
river was at its highest stage, gauge
showed that the we'll was discharging
about three times the quantity of water
it had uniformly given out up to the
rise Of the river; and but for the
small circumference of the spout it
would probably have discharged even
more. This increase of flow was first
noticed at the time Of the great rise
in the river. and it appeared to de.
crease with the falling Of the water in
the river-bed, until, at this time, it is
venting only its usual quantity previ-
ous to the rise. The we'll is about
four hundred yards from the river, and
its depth near seven hundred feet, so
that its source mus: be fully FIVE hun
dred feet below the bed of the river.
The pressure Of the water of the river
upon the earth must have been very
great to effect, to such an extent, a
stream Of water passing under its bed
so many feet below it.

AN "ABsoRBlNG" SUBJEcT.-Mo-
lasses possesses a remarkable power of
absorption. Some curious facts in re-
lation to this peculiar property have
been recently laid before the London
Medical Society. In 1919, number
of casks of molasses were slowed away
at the London docks-weighing in ali,
1870 cwt. Three years afterwards
they were weighed again, and there
was found to be an increase of weight
amounting in the whole to % cwt.
Another lot of 347 casks was slowed
away in July of 1S49, and on starting
the bungs in 1852, the molasses, spirit
ed up like a fountain. The casks
weighed originally IL cwt. each, and
gained from one to fifty pounds, the
total gain being Sc cwt. In another
instance, 68 lbs were gained by some
casks. This wonderful property of
absorbing moisture from the air is said
to be the most powerful in the molas-
ses contained in those casks made Of
Quebec pine.
The charges against the Commiss-
toner's experimenting the construction
Of the New Orleans Customhouse.-
The memorial some time since receiy-
ed at the Treasury Department from
New Orleans, preferring charges
against the Commissioners for the
New Customhouse and the Collector
Of the Port for derelication of duty
proves, on examination to be aforgery,
and has been returned from thence
with certificates from most of the per-
IONS whose names were used, that
