THE PRIgcIPALIrIEs.-We have already alr-
ded to the proposition by the London Times to e.
rect the Principalilies into distinct kingdom,
with the object of forming perpetual barrier a
gainst the march Of Russia upon Turkey and Per-
sia. The London News audes TO the project
more in detail. 1t consists in the re erection OF
chain of natlonalitieS along the northern shore Of
the Black Sea, which shall rest at the west on
Hungary, and at the east on the Caspian Sea and
forever perpetuaie the sentiment of liberty, and of
hatred of MuScovy, and prove species Of Chi
nese wall to the kingdoms and waters lying 70
the south of them. However pleasing TO the
pride and maratime supremacy Of England such
a cOnsummalon of the present strife would be, the
calm and dispassionate student of history and &C.
ography must regard it as altogether visionary
and impracticable.

The BooMERAYG.-ThiS curious weapon, pc
cuar 10 the natives of Australia, has often proved
pu2zler 10 men of science. 1t is 4 piece o
carved wood, nearly in The form of crescent
from thirty to forty inches long, pointed at both
ends, and the corner edge quite sharp. The
mode of using ii is quite as singular as the weap-
on. Ask black to throw it 50 as to fall at his
feet, and away it goes, full forty yards before
him, skimming along the surface at three or fo1T
feet from the ground, when it will suddenly rise
in the air forty or sixty feet, describing curve,
and finally drops at the feet of the ihrower. Du
ring its course it revolves with great rapldity, ss
on pivot, with whizzing nuise. 1t is wonder
ful so barbarous people should have Invented so
singular weapon, which sets laws of progression
at defiance. 1t is very dangerous for European
to try to project it at any object as it may return
and strike himself. In natives hand it is a for
midable weapon, striking without the protector
being seen like the Irishman's gun, shooting
round corner equally as straightforward. 1t
was invented to strike the kangaroo, which ami
NAL is killed by it with certainty, and though a
copse intervene between the hunter and the ami
MAJ, the Boomerang comes round tho corner and
breaks his legs.

A REVOLUTION IN Boor AND SHOE MAKING
The Cleveland Herald says that few days
since, in Utica, n. Y. number of Frenchmer
were negotiating for the establishment in that city
of mandatory Of boots and shoes by machinery
The manutactory of fine shoe, it is said, will
cost but ten cents, and that of fine boot but fifty
or twenty cents. The Utica Telegraph says that
the owners are now in Washington securing a
patent for their machine, and it thus speaks of its
performance
The machine is so perfect that it is only ne.
cessary TO place in it two pieces of sole and upper
leather, and in an incredibly short space of time it
turns out as complete boot or shoe, as is desired
We learn that number of capitalists of this city
are negotiating for the purchase of the patent, and
that it is their intention, should they succeed in
securing it, to purchase the Globe Mills, and to
convert them into an extensive boot and shoe
mandatory, employing some seven hundred
hands. gentleman in this city, now extensive

The machines can be run by women and boys ;

YoUsG VErERAN.-Tho Hamburg News

-"Captain Vernow made his appearance in the

lie has served six months at SevasiopoI, and as,
according to an order of the Cabinet of the En-
peror Nicholas, each months service there is TO

six years, which gives IA years in all. Sd. He
wears the order Of St. Anne and of vladimir, the
cross of the order Of ST. George, and has sabre

LIqUoR LAws.-The Philadelphia American
says that the prohibitory liquor law seems TO be
fatal TO evasion. We have already stated
Western decision to the effect that single bottles
OF wine, brandy, sc. are "original packages"
within the meaning of the law, and may there
fore be sold legally; and also New York decis-
ion 10 the elfec! that ale Is not strong drink, aud
therefore the sale cannot be forbidden. We have
now another decision in Connecticut in the.case
of the City Hotel at Hartford, which is that the
liquor in an inn or hotel is for the convenience Of
the lodgers and guests and not for miscellaneous
sale. Under these various decisions it appears
people may buy and drink ale as before that they
may buy and drink imported liquors by the buile
as before; and that hotels, inns, sc. are permitted
to supply their guests with liquors.
