The MARINE HosPITM.-The Government
has app: owed of the location by their commits,
sioners, Messrs. Wann & Gray, of the site TO
the Marine Hospital, and of all their proce ed
ings in relation thereto. Mr.. Hoyne, the Z
S. District Attorney, has been ordered here to
examine and perfect the title. The location is
an admirable one for the purpose, and cannot
fail to give satisfaction. 1t is tract of near
twelve acres, on the east side of Galena river,
just below the town, comprising the beautiful
green field that may be seen nearly opposite
the War Eagle Mills-the property of M. Nc
Carly. 1t is high and airy, yet convenient and
easy of access, in full view of the city, and has
living water upon it, The price stipulated to
be paid is $500 per acre, which is not dear
1t lies 1000 feet on the river. A spacious
building erected there will be an ornament to
the city, in addition to its benevolent use

mine which the Russians have planted thick

explode on the pressure Of the foot They
are thus described:- .tfa BE-" -.s 80.
"A strong case containing powder is sunk
in the ground, and to it is attached tin
tube or lead, several feet in length in the
upper end of the tube there is enclosed thin
glass tube containing sulphuric or nitric
acid. The portion Of the tube is just laid
above the earth, where it is readily hid by
few blades o. grass or stone. If q person

glass tube inside. The acii Immediately
escapes and runs down the tin tube till i
arrives close to its insertion in the case, and
there meets few grains of chlorate of

everything which it is coated, in state of
igpition, so as to burn and kill"

MACHINE POETRY The following is a
pretty good specimen of the mechanical, in
the way of poetry-making. The author is
describing railroad jaunt:-

the air. So shaking Fairchild by the hand,
who said come up again, bid farewell to ev-

round the hill side, darting over the plain, over
the rivers, under roads, Van Bergen drove his
train. The moon threw bright effulgent rays

the fireman ceased his firing. And thus toe

DIR. STRINGFEuOw, who had the fracus
with Gov. Reeder, has been elected Cover
nor Of Kansas, and appears to have pretty
high notion of his place, and the Territory.
In the course Of his remarks on taking the
chair he says:
For these reasons, and because of the fact
of the destinies of our glorious Union hang
upon our actions-because the eyes of the
world are upon us-the eyes of fanatical and
malignant enemies are closely watching us
the eyes Of sympathising friends are anxiously
fixed upon us-for these reasons, and feeling
that it is high and responsible trust you have
con6ded to me, / feel both proud and most
grateful. ..t..-

This notorious case occupied the attention
of the U. S. District Court on Friday and Sat
urlay 1t is a suit under the fugitive slave
law, brought by Bermam S. Garland, of Mis-
souri,, agains S. NJ. Booth, for 81 900, being
the value of the slave Glover, who escaped
from Garland some two years since, was arrest
ed one year ago last March, and lodged in the
Milwaukee Jail. He was assisted from there
by mob instigated by Booth. Booth was
convicted on criminal trial for aiding in the
rescue, ami sentenced to fine and Imprisonment.
He was released from prison by our State Su-
premc Court, on writ Of habeas corpus
The civil suit for damages has been once on
trial before in Milwaukee, and resulted in a
disagreement of the jury. it was noticed for
a new trial at this term, and came on last
Thursday, which was occupied in getting a
jury. The evidence was submitted Friday
and the summing up took place Saturday. j.
f. Arnold, Esq, of Milwaukee, appeared for
Garland, and J. H. Paine and j. Mills for
Booth. The latter gentlemen INDUCED in the
most violent phillipics against the Fugitive
Slave Law, apparently resting their chances
for succes on the prejudice which they might
create in the minds of the jury against the law
which they were solemnly sworn to render a
verdict. ...E .a.E-.e
We may as we'll say here that the comments
Of one or two of our contemporaries on the
style in which the jury was selected, are mer-
est humbug, and are used for no other purpose
than to get up political sympathy.

for defendant; the second was unanimous for

Beautiful sketch.

1t was night. Jerusalem slept as quietly
amid her hills as o child upon the breast of its
mother. The noiseless sentinel stood like a
statute at his post, and the philosophers lamp
burned dimly in the recess of his chamber.
But darker night was abroad upon the
earth. A moral darkness envelopes the nations
in its unmingled shadows. Reason sent a
faint glmlmering over the minds of men, like
the cold and inefficient shining of distant
star. The Immortality of mans spiritual ma
turc was unknown, his relations to heaven I'M
discovered, and his future destiny Obscured in
cloud of mystery.
1t was at this period that two forms of ethe
real mould lowered over the land of Gods cho
sen people. They seemed like sister angels sent
to earth upon some embassy of love. The one
was of majestic stature, and in the well formed
limbs, which her snowy drapery hardly con-
cealed, in her erect bearing and steady eye, cx-
hibited the highest degree of strength and con-
tdence. Her right arm was extended in an
impressive gesture upwards where night ap
peared to have placed her darkest pavilion
while on her left reclined her delicate compan-
ion, in form and countenancc the contrast OF
the other, for she was dropping like the flower
when unmostened by refreshing dews, and her
bright but troubled eye scanned the air with
ardent but varying glances. Suddenly light
like the sun flashed out from the heavens, and
Faith and Hope hailed with exulting songs the
ascending Star of Bethlehem.
Years rolled away, and the stranger was
seen in Jerusalem. He was meek, unassum-
ing man, whose happiness seemed to consist in
acts Of benevolence to the human race. There
were deep traces of sorrow on his countenance,
though no one knew why he grieved, for he
lived in the practice of every virtue, and was
loved by all the good and wise. By and by it
was rumored that the stranger worked mira
Giles; and the blind saw, the dumb spake, and
the dead leaped to life at his touch; that when
he commanded, the ocean moderated its chatting
tide, and the very thunders articulated he is
the Son of God. Envy assailed him with
charge of sorcery, and the voice of impious
judges condemned him to death. Slowly and
thickly guarded he assembled the hill of Caval
ry. A heavy cross bent him to the earth; but
Faith leaned upon his arm, and Hope, dipping
her pinions in his blood, mounted to the skies

Fer Democratic Delegate 10 Congress
HON. DAVID OLMSTED.


Spite of all the efforts which have and
are being made to crush him, the man of
the people, DAVID OLMsrED, continues to
progress in favor and popularity. His OPP
ponents begin to look with fear and tremr
ling upon the quiet but rapidly extending
movements which menace their defeat and
his triumph. .r.
There is much in partys being able to
present as candidate man whose own
merits constitute recommendation suffi-
cient to entitle him to a post of honor
There is much in feeling assured that man
honestly feels, thinks and acts and will 80
represent his party, and that there can lie
no fear of his departure from duty either as
regards himself or constituents
1t is not every man who is fitted to be a
legislator He should know the people
whom he represents by personal knowledge
as general thing, and knowing their ways
and their wants, have the ability, energy
and skill to use his position as Representa-
tive, to their best advantage. To know
the people of this Territory one must travel
far, and mingle Familiarity with those who
are within its borders. They do not all
live alike, and their interests are very diverse.
1t requires we'll balanced mind to note
and weigh these differences, and an actual
life among them to ascertain correctly what
is best for them and for the Territory.
Mr.. O1MsrED, in this respect, certainly is
the superior of his opponents. He has not,
it is true, as The Times claims for Mr.. Mar
shall, Surveyed II large portion Of this Ter
ritory" for he is not surveyor by profess
sion according to the modern practice
But he has tranped over the Territory
through many and many weary day and
can tell its metes and bounds as well as any
surveyor besides being able to tell what
is more to the purpose than surveying"
and that is who and what are the people of
Minnesota, and what they want
DAVID OIMsrED's name is o familiar SO md
even to many who never saw him, and the
good report which he in years gone by
honestly earned, is coming back to him now
from every quarter in the thankful feeling
of the people at large that he has been
chosen the standard bearer Of the DemOc-
racy Most emphatically he is the man of
the people, and the Democracy when they
rallied around him, drew many who have
no faith in "isins" or in Railroad Kings"

FROM ZANTE, IONIAN IsLANDs.-The follow
ing extract from letter from the American
Consulate at Zante, dated June Is, and recei-
we'd by last mail, has been communicated to us
for publication :
{" am so delighted to hear that so much has
been realized from the Greek Fair did not
expect the goods sent from this place would
have brought half the sum for the articles
contributed from this island were but few and
of little value, because the ladies could not con-
tribute articles of worth The poor are al
ready bestowing blessings upon those among
you who have had pity Oh their sufferings-
The aid forwarded to them from Boston, will
be as acceptable to the mamma as to the lsrae
ltes in the desert.
ave had been entertaining hope that the
disease would abate, and that crop of cur
rants would he realized this year but the dis
ease has already made great havoc on both
currant and grape vines. May the Lord have
mercy on these poor people, for really do not
know what is to become of them. Every door
seems closed up, and every attempt to remedy
the evil turns out fruitless. The wheat which
has been sown in this island has been almost
entirely destroyed by the blight. About g.
900 laborers by dint of sacrifice, obtained lit
tie money to pay their passage across to the
Morea, in hopes of working as usual during
the harvest, and thus securing few bushels OF
grain for their perishing families; but the crop
of grain was blighted also, and the reapers in
stead of bringing home bread, brought woe
and lamcntation AS this was the forlorn hope
with all those reapers and the many thousands
depending on their exertions for their winter
supply, you can easily imagine how desperate
their case must be, and how much reason those
poor people have for mourning and lamenta-
tion-BostOn Trav.

from its usual courtesy by telling its readers
that we have asserted that VIM. r. Mar

he was ''green hand"--a sea phrase the

in the shopin which he is to work, pretty
considerably q bungler We did not in
