CuE1ous CoNB1NArloS.-Mr. Campbell. 81
Columbus. Ohio, has made an application at
Washington for a patent, making a bond Of
union between cast iron at a very high tempe.
rature' and glass in a state of fusion, and de.
signed for boxes in which the axles of wheels
revolve. The glass is for the interior of the
box, and, causing but little friction, it r~eouires
but little fabrication, and is, therefore, ecopo-
mical, costing less than cast iron. The Intel.
ligencer says:
"Ihe tests to which the specimen We have
seen has been subjected at once convinced us
that glass thus embedded in iron could %snsta;n
extraordinary pressure and the most powerful
blows but q doubt arose in relation to the in.
equality in the contraction and expansion Of
the two materials, by sudden changes in the
temperature. Iron, however, expands and con.
tracts by heat far more than glass, and the
cast-iron box being expanded to its utmost
when the glass congeals, all its after tendency
Dy this means must necessarily be to embrace
the glass within it and this glass being in the
OF an arch, with its bases and apex both
embraced by the iron, it can yield to no mower
that Is not capable OF literally crushing :; to

DESTRUCTIVE r

Sunday night, about IL o'clock, q fire broke
out in the building situated at the corner Of
Main and North streets, belonging to Mr.. =.
Couret, and before the flames could be extin-
guished, said building, together with another
adjoining, the property of Mr.. Honore Jahan,
was entirely consumed.
MIR. Couret was about opening a coffee
house, and had just received from NewOrleans
a large stock of fine liquors, etc, which were a
total loss.
The other building was occupied by Mr..
Pefferkorn, shoemaker, and Mrs. Pigeon, mil
liner, both Of whom experienced heavy losses.
The building was insured.
The total loss is estimated ut $4,000.
1t is positively believed that this fire was
the work Of an incendiary.

Young A.sssea" Dsllneassd.

The Rev. W. H. Milbarn, who was lately
elected chaplain Of the House Of Represents
tives, delivered a lecture at one Of the Metho-
dist churches, in Newly ork, on " Young Amer
ica"-a good topic, one which was eloquently
treated, if we may Judge Of the lecture by the
following summary of it, copied from Q New
York paper:
Young America he said, is something more
than a political doctrine. It is republication
in labor, in literature, in life. 1t is republi-
canism with hands and feet, shovel and tongs,
axes and plows. It is republicanism in the pull
pit, in the press. It is republicanism getting
out of forms into every day facts, and stamping
its lame ON things as well as words.
Look at it in labor. 1t honors the law Of ex-
ertion. Acknowledging its divineness and con-
tent with its discipline, It teaches that the labor
Of every man is republicanism applied to clods,
bricks and mortar, anvils and looms, fields and
forest. And especially it affrms that labor is
Gods great earthly instrument for elevating
man in the scale Of being.
Labor educates common sense-Opens the
physical sense to broad perceptions, and the
hand to wide grasps-enlarges the area Of pos
sibilities, and commands the commodities Of the
universe. Labor is in partnership with cleo
tricity, light and heat. It is in league with the
revolving seasons, with dew and the cloud, with
the stars and the sun. It is the human side of
Providence, and wherever it is well and faith
fully done, Providence is the promise Of success.
By labor Young America" is the foe Of
aristocracy for, depend upon it, neither laws
nor usages can put down aristocracy. Labor
is the great supremacy ; and in the second and
third generation, it gives laws to fashion, taste
and custom. young America begins with
bricks and finishes with marble.
But " Young America infusee itself into lit
%erature. 1t writes no great poems, it is true, but
it writes great things, nevertheless. There is
chivalry in its enterprises in this way that is
quite inspiring, and # Orphens made the tree
dance, it quickcns printers types with the very
motion Of vitality. 1t prints every thing, even
to things shocking and shameful. The new
literature grapples with that fashionable mon
ster called Pretension /: and fierce havoc it
makes, even to its own hurt. Across the water,
Dickens and especially ~Thackeray, have set up
a police system for the arrest of snobs and pre-
tense and woe to the men and women who fall
into their clutches!
" Young America" has taken newspapers un-
der special patronage. 1t has shown its good
sense therein for nothing moves now without
newspapers. Whether right or wrong, the world
has entrusted its advocacy to them, has become
their client, and the editors and writers are the
pleaders in this new court of the country. You
wonder that no great statesmen are appearing
explanation is easy; Newspapers have come
to represent the people they are the statesmen,
legislators, and cabinet.

Pipe Laying" is practiced to a considera-
bic extent, It appears, among the politicians in Can.
ada. A late Official investigation by the Provincial
Parliament exhibits the extfssordinary fact that, at
votes were polled, whereas the county only c%ontsiis
a total population of II, 1866, and an aggregate Of
legal voters of 1864! Infants in the arms Of their
mothers were held up and their names received as
voting by the returning officers. Queen victoria's
name was down more than once among the list of
voters, and Lord Elgin's eeventy-two times.
In the Nashville Journal Of Medicine and
Surgery, is an account Of recovery from gun-shot
wound Of the brain ; the dura mater was plainly wish
BILE through the entrance of the slug into the mans
head, and q small probe could be passed to the depth
ooxing from the exit. After the seventh day he suf-
fered but little, and had a rapid recovery, without his
intellect being at all injured. The treatment was the
same % usual in such cases. He lost not less than
one or one and q half tablespoonfals of brains.
At a public sale at Lyons, recently, an old
picture, in a most filthy state, representing Venus
francs. The man, thinking that he saw some merit
in II, gave 1t to q painter Of his acquaintance to be
cleaned. The painter offered him q day or two after
wards $50 francs for II, but the shoemaker, thinking
from the offer that the picture must be something
it to q c0nnoisseur, who declared It to be a Nicholas
Poussin. The shoemaker has since refused 5000
francs for 1t.
The Galveston News has the following,
which shows that all the credulous people are not
dead yet: "a planter from the Brazos informs us
that a young lady from above Yegua, in Burleson
county, known to be a spirit medium, died about six
weeks ago and while on her deatf-bed, she an
nounced that this was going to be the most disastrous
season ever known in Texas. It is reported that she
a severe drouth, and went into details with
great particularly, also counseling those around her
as to the measures they should take to protect them
selves from the general calamity. Her predictions
have been so far verified that we understand they are
producing a deep impression on the public mind in
that vicinity, even among some who are least cred

CORRUPT oEF7oERs.

We had reason some weeks since to suspect
that We had been foully dealt with by some Of
the Postmasters or their deputies in hindering
the spread and circulation Of our paper; there
fore when We had returned to us, within q week
after its issue, two copies Of the Patriot " from
NewOrleans, addressed to gentlemen Of that
city who had authorized their names to be en-
rolled among our subscribers, with the endorse
ment CT the margin " Never called for-Not
taken out Of the Office" we determined to see
if there was not something "rotten in Den
mark" Accordingly, we wrote to each Of the
gentlemen, asking them whether they had not
subscribed for the paper-whether they did not
want ii, and whether it was by their authority
that it. was returned with the marginal endorse
ment. A prompt reply has been received from
one Of the gentlemen, who says in part, /" I am
a loss to knosc by sehat authority the Post
master here sent my paper back NTH the cords
endorsed thereon, Not called for I do want
your paper and vish you to send 1t to me-"
Now we ask if such conduct is not little and
c~ontemptibly mean, and if any man SO unprin.
cipled should be retained in Office. The New
Orleans Postmaster is the one against whom
the charge lays yet we can hardly blieve Mr..
Kendall, whom we know personally and fami.
liarly, guilty Of SO little q trick. We would
much sooner bring the charge against some
Office this side Of NewOrleans ; and since the
expose Of this affair, we may probably have
done parties to whom we sent specimen num-
bers, that were returned with marginal notes, in.
in our minds, having once been on the
eve of giving the name Of a party in st. Martin
who wrote on the margin, " Processing to knou
something, I cannot tolerate a paper that knoms
returning it in a letter envelope, and
us with ten cents postage. The trick
was pery small, whoever did it but we now
suspect that it was done by some postoaicc de-
putty. We may some time remain ignorant Of
the offender, hut, like murder generally, sooner
or later it will out ; and when it does out, it
would be well for one go mean, that he fortify
himself strongly against justice.

The Case Strongly Put.

a friend OF ours, in conversation with m anti
KNOWN othing in our presence the other day,
advanced on argument that there is no getting
away from, and one that ought to be univer-
sally enforced. The anti was Directing to the
Acknowledgement Of foreigners, and their pro-
hibition from Office. Our friend sustained the
American doctrine thus "Do you suppose"
said be, " that if you were to cross the Niagara
and become a subject Of Her Gracious Majesty,
Queen Victoria, you could so far forget the
country OF your birth-your fatherland-as, in
q few years, to sever the last link that bound
you to it, and suear to abjure its laws and
rules, its usages, its institutions and its GUS
toms, and be ready, at the command of the
Government to which you had sworn allegiance,
to point your musket at, and pour bullets into.
the breasts Of your countrylnen, brethren and
kindred? Gould you do this thing 2" asked
he.
After q moments pause, the anti replied,
"No, 1 could not J." Well, then," resumed
our friend, chow can you expect the English
man, the Irishman, the Frenchman, or the Ger
man to do it? The thing is prosposterous. If
o man is base enough to forget the land Of his
birth, the graves Of his fathers, the hills and
wales upon which he sported in childhood, and
the streams in which he layed his infant feet. he
will be o traitor to the country of his adoption.
Even the lions whelp loves the lair of its ma
tivity, and the wolf the cavern in which it was
born-the sons of the soil, therefore, alone
should rule"
This was sensible talk, and right to the point.
We would abridge the foreigner of no privilege,
Of no immunity be enjoyed in the country from
which he comes. We offer more-we afford
him a home, the protection of our laws, educa-
ton for his offspring, and every comfort and
luxury our teeming land supplies but we are
not willing for him to select our rulers, nor are
we willing to make q ruler of him. 1t is not
the policy of the American Party to disfran-
chise a man for ever-but it is it's policy to re-
quire the foreigner to serve as long a probation
as the native born-to q period when, if ever,
he may become at least partially Amercanized-l
