INVENTIVE GENIUS OF THE AMERICANS
Few are aware Of The marvellous iriumpbs con-
stantly going forward in this country. A co
Temporary says =
we have seen lately, as specimen of rare
American mechanical genius, machine cost
ing not over FIVE hundred dollars, invented by a
working man, which takes bold Of sheet of
brass, copper, or iron, and turns off complete
hinges at the rate of gross in ten minutes,
hinges, too, neaier than they are made by any
other process; also. machine that takes hold
of an iron rod and whips it into perfect Bit
pointed screws. This is also the invention of
a working man and both Of these machines
are superior TO any thing Of the kind in the
world. No other process Of Manufacture can
compete with them.

GREAT PRoFIr ON WuIsKEY.-The present
price Of raw whiskey, in Louisville, according
to the Courier Of that ety) is thirty-four cents
per gallon, which yields an enormous profit to
tie distiller. He pays thirty cents per bushel
for his corn, (uew corn,) grinds out about four
hundred bushels per diem, which makes up
wards of sixteen hundred gallons of new whis-
key, or rather more than four gallons TO the
boshel. Thus bushel of corn costing thirty
cents, yields TO the manufacturer upwards of
FOUR gallons of whiskey, which, at ihirty-four
cents per gallon, amounts to the snug sum Of
$544 per day. The net profit on this single
days work of converting corn into whiskey is
fully $3.50, or upwards Of $500 per week,
provided the work is suspended on Sunday.

Meeting with a Wife,

The following. interesting incident we copy
from California paper. The arrival of an
ocean steamer is always the scene of large
crowd ofspectators at the wharf One after
noon, when the Panama came in, tall ind-
vidual from the mountains, who, unfortunate
ly, had no ticket to secure him admittance on
the dock, stood outside of the gate, watching
through its open panels with great anxiety, as
il he expected the arrival of some dear friend.
After full hour thus occupied, his heart was
gladdened by the approach of small furniture
wagon, containing several women, among
whom he recognized the features of one that
made him utter an involuntary ejaculation
The gate was swung back, and the wagon
passed OUT He worked his way up to it amid
the dense throng of people, and exclaiming,
Sarah y attracted the attention of young
woman seated alongside the driver As soon
as she beheld him, she answered sJohn = and
losing all control over himself, fell forward on
the launches of the horse, from which she
rolled sideways into the arms of fond hus-
band
Despite the general merriment of the crowd
Sarah and John held each other for moment
in close-locked embrace, after which their
lips met, and they INDUCED in perfect trans.
port of kisses. Who cares!' said the honest
spouse, as she resumed her place on the seal
of the wagon. WHO cares if they do laugh
He's my dear husband, aRd I'll kiss him if al
the world stood by y
Noble-hearted woman. That was PROUD
sentiment, and did her heart great honor in its
utterance.
