q
This unfortunate vessel lies in the stream,
at the foot of Government street in limbo,
and in the clutches of Uncle Sam. If re-
ports are true, she is rich prize, and has
on board more things than Col. Kinney
possibly could have made use Of in his ag-
ricultural expedition to Nicaragua. We
hear that she has under her dock the ar
mament Of very respectable little army,
far outnumbering any force that Colonel
Kinney was ever suspected of loading to
Central America What, for instance,
would he have wanted with 5000 rifles,
800 Colts revolvers, 5000 pounds Of
powder made into 100000 rounds fixed
ammunition, 1000 tents, a battery Of
brass field pieces all complete, with har-
ness, equipments, cartridges, and shot to
match, lots of pixies and sabres, quantity
of clothing, and 1900 coats? All this
looks as if it were another more impor-
tant and baffled expedition-as if, indeed,
it was intended that the Captain General
Concha should have had an interest in all
this preparation. We suppose the vessel
will be 4libcled, and that there will be an

The Monument on the battlefield NJ
New Orleans. :
The Jackson Monument Association
the New Orleans Picayune says) have
finally made selection Of the memento to
be erected on the battlefield of 1916. in
commemoration of the signal victory that
was achieved by General jackson and the
American army on the memorable 9Th Of
January. The joint plan has been ac-
cepted by the commissioners, and the
foundation work will soon be commenced
on the ground now belonging to the State
Of Louisiana, and which was occupied by
the American line ON the day of battle.
No less than seventeen plans were SUBJ
mitted to the association, and among these
many OF exceeding beauty and taste. 1t
was concluded, after mature deliberation,
to reject iron as the material of the pro-
posed monument, and hence the choice
became narrowed down to marble. The
plan that has now been adopted is plain
shaft, one hundred and fifty feet in height,
with an interior stairway leading to the
top. The foundation will be of the most
substantial character-more solid, proba-
bly,, than that of any edifce hitherto
erected here

lowing on the duties of the President:
Although General Pierce is remarks-
BILE for his affability in private life, he is
not popular He is an excellent man Of
business. More than once he complained
of the tremendous labor of his Office,
which is so great as to leave him scarcely
a minutes leisure. "Some change in tho
duties he said, ''must b9made, as no man
can stand the work, even for fonr years.
You can form no idea !" he added, aof tho
number Of voluminous manuscript docu-
ments, connected with public business,
which have to read" Suggesting that
in many cases this might be done BY !

The Mammoth Ocean Steamer.

The new steamer Leviathan, which isl
now being constructed in London, prom
ises, when finished, to be the wonder of
the age. To grasp the idea of vessel
measuring more than an eighth of mile
in length, with capacity of twenty thous-
and tons, and room enough besides for
four thousand passengers with all their
luggage, certainly requires some mental
effort; but to conceive of such monster
graphing with wind and tide, and tri-
umphantly forcing its way through the
mighty billows of the Atlantic, becomes a
task quite sufficient to stagger no ordinary
intellect, and more than sufficient to ex-
haust the faith of the most credulous If
the Leviathan shall be able to show full
list of passengers for her first visit to our
shores, it will certainly appear that the
people of this day have more confidence
in art and science than their ancestors
whom Fulton attempted to 'humbug' with
his foolish invention But science has
achieved SO much since the time of Fulton,
that any want of faith in the success of
this great enterprise, would smatter Of
old fogyism,' nevertheless, that the sea
has way of knocking to pieces some
times, vessels of all sizes, and leaving no
possible way of escape for humanity, a
little hesitation in a matter of this kind is
pardonable.
The Engines of the Leyiathan, although
said to be of $500 horse power, will in
reality be capable of being worked up to
10000 horse power. The united strength
Of 10000 horses would seem to be power
enough to move small size globe, and if
not such one as ours, at least an aster-
old. 1t is confidently predicted that, not
withstanding the great length of this steam
er, she will be enabled to pass through the
water at an average speed, in all. wealth
ers, of fifteen knots an hour, and with a
smaller power in proportion to tonnage
than ordinary vessels now require to make
ten knots The contract speed of most
ocean mail-carrying steamers is eight knots.
A ship of this huge capacity can carry
12,O 900 tons of coal--quite sufficient, it is
stated, for her. consumption on the out
ward and honeward voyages. She will
be launched unlike any other ship-broad-
side on the water, by means of hydraulic
power, and early in next spring is expect
ed to make trip to the United States
and back, in q fortnight.

Feats Of Political Equillbrium.

The following article applies admirably to
divers and sundry Office hunters in this county.
It has always been regarded as an evidence Of
sagacity (not dishonesty, of course) to know
just at what particular time to make political
summerset and many is the poor victim who,
not knowing the ground upon which he was to
alight, instead Of being "right side up,'' has
many there are in this vicinity who have made
this fatal tumble into Know Nothingism, we
pretend not to say; but that there are some,
we are well assured. But seeing they are in for
it, what are they to do? Repenti They have
done that long since. Reform; acknowledge
yonr error, gentlemen, and return to your par
ty, as others arc doing, all over the United
States. The old rickety concern is sinking,
and If you would not sink with it, escape at
once. a
The condition of several OF our cotem-
poraries Of the party press, for number
Of weeks past, has been not a little like
that of Harlequin attempting to make a
journey upon a rolling cask. Such have
been the uncertain movements of the vehi-
cle that it was oil they could do to keep
themselves from an untimely termination
of their trip, by landing on their heads.
Among those who have displayed the most
fexibility in the feat in question we won-
der at the times and the manners, while
we confer the palm upon our late Wing
friends of the Ohio State Journal and
Cincinnati Gazette. Gentlemen, you have
done well. Though it cannot be said that
your balance has been critically accurate
during the entire performance, there is a
chance that you will come out right side
up at last, which, after all, is the main
point in the, game; a suit, of spangles
! for our contemporaries!
