New SURVEYING lNsrRUMENr.-.The Quin.
cy Wing states that Mr.. w. L. Hervey, of
that city, has recently procured a patent for
q very ingenious instrument called The Sur
veyor." This instrument is designed to &C.
complsh the labor Of surveyor and chain
men. lis stationary, and surveys any space
of which the bounds may be distinctly seen.
1t has been examined by practical surveyors,
who pronounce it an excellent invention.
The IVhig says by this instrument allthe n-
tricate calculations are made mechanically,
thus saving the time and trouble of the engi-
neer in this department and which he must
necessarily spend when the usual method is
employed. The new inventon enables the
surveyor to run his lines directly over rivers,
swamps aud other inaccessible places. BY it
field or coast can be surveyed, without
moving the instrument, il all the points to be
mape can be seen distinctly from the starting
place.

E5s" CANAL CoMMIssIoNER.-The Lehgh
Democrat recommends Gen. David Laury as
candidate for Canal Commissioner We
have known the General for some years. He
would make an honest and faithful officer.
But we think the Canal Board wants re.or-
ganisaton. 1t should be placed above Leg
isative control, or more properly speaking,
the tenure of the Office should not be at the
mercy of members who may have an axe to
grind or private resentmeuts TO crafty. The
constant dread Of the abolition of the Board
by the Legislature, destroys, in great
measure, its independence, and members, in
pressing appointments, do not hesitate to
threaten the Board with the exercise of this
power. Fear is often potent auxiliary in
the attainment of place and power, and until
the hearts Of men are changed, or the
millennium comes, designing politicians will
use it for corrupt and selfish purposes.

THE DUTY ON SUGAR.

The exhorbtant prices of Sugar which for
more than year past have been been gradu-
ally increasing, have become so important an
item in almost every family in the land, that
plan or remedy is beginning to be discussed
The advance in the price Of Sugar is attribu.
table, to certain extent, to succession OF
failures of the louisiana crop. On foreign
sugar there is an import duty of so per
cent. 1t would seem to be proper that this
tariff should be taken of, and Cuban sugars
admitted free This would diminish the cost
nearly third, and he q common benefit
The present tariff brings in greater amount
oI revenue than is required to meet the nee s.
sary expenses of the government, and as su-
gar is necessity in every family it should
come in duty free. If there ever was an odi-
ous tax, it is this tax on sugar, for the ben.
eft of few planters in louisiana, and what
makes il worse is the fact that the higher and
scarcer it is, the greater the tariff will be
under the al caiorum system.

THE sunE RoApro rAmr /.

We take IL TO be demonstrable fact that |
no discovery or invention worth advertising
ut can be advertised too extensively. The
man whose mental vision is darkened by b.
serly instincts, whose soul lies in his breeches
pocket, cannot understand this and II such
an one in his mole-like groplngs should
chance upon some new and useful truth, ne
would be afraid to take the sure road to ceie-
brity, which lies through the columns OF the
press lest he should be ruined by the tolls
What a contrast does the brilliant and bene-
fetal career Of Prof. Holloway present TO the
bliud stupidity OF such a man. Having per-
fected. after many years of laborious research
and experiment two remedies which he knew
with positive certainty, were absolute speci..
fics for nearly every internal aud external
malady incident TO humanity, he determined
at once to give them a wider publicity than
any other medicine had ever attained. His
motive was noble and benevolent. lie felt
that he possessed the power Of mitigating
suffering and waging successful war with dis
eases heretofore uncouquerable and like q
good champion he ,earlessy entered the lists.
| Had he been moved by avurice instead oil
philanthropy he could not have taken surer
or shorter path to wealth The plan of ad-
vertisug preparations, which actually accom-.
pliyhed all that empricism had ever promised

nation with his advertiinents, he pervaded the
whole world with his advertisements, he per-
vadcd the whole world with his medicines

sible means Of disseminating information
among men that he has not adopted 10 giving

FELT HATs.-The editor of the Central
Presbyterian, in speaking of felt hats, DIS
courses in the following style Of good sense ::
Indeed this is the only sensible hat now
worn. Instead of the shiny, hard, and stiff
fur or silk hat, SO lately universal, a perpetu-
al annoyance TO its owner-in his way in every
crowd-never protecting hlm from sun or rain
but keeping him auxiously trying to protect
livery much in the shape and about as
pleasant TO the head as IA section OF stovepipe
would be-always getting blown oG, or mash,
ed, or weather. r.staned-instead of this, we
now have the broad brmmed, flexible bodied,
easy fitting hat, without fur on it, or stilien-
ing in t-never binding the brow or causing
headache-never injured by rough handling
always in shape, if shape il might be called
which has none-always shading the face
from the sun, and sheltering it from storm
and last, but not least, the prettiest hat, if
beauty is associated with utility au the fit
ness Of things : tins is the hat which consti.
tutes one of the most TO be louded inventions
of the present day. one which shonld univer-
sally supplant its predecessor, and be worn by
all classes, clergymen included.
