A MECHANICAL CURIOSITY With great
deal of wonder, says the editor of the New
Haven Patriot, We the other day saw, at the
store of Mr. Cannon, a couple of bottles, each
of which would not hold over quart, and in
one OF which was a saw mill in operation, and
in the other a -four mill also in operation
Both mills were moved by a crank in the neck
of each bottle The bottles and machinery are
in the possession of Mr.. 4. H.zParkingham.
who is now in the employ of Mr., Cannon. Mr..
,Parkinghau says the machinery was built
within their covering thirty years ago by a
person who was then resident of New 7 York,
but now deceased. He did it on aswager of
$4,000, which he won in less than three years,
the time allowed for the work It has been
suggested that the glass must have been blown
over the machinery, but it is also said it was
impossible with such kind Of bottles They
are filed full of machinery, which is braced
and otherwise made strong. The neck of each
bottle is filled with plug which is keyed close
to the neck. The mystery of getting in the
key, when there is hardly room to get in too!
as big as single nail, is as great as any other
mystery about the ingenious affair."

The construction of French houses, is insome
respects, on very different principle. from that
of English and American. For instance. the
floors. When the joists are fixed in their
place, some spikes are driven on each face, at
a distance Of about two inches from each other,
and in a santing position; at the same time
the under part, which forms the ceiling, was
covered with laths. The masons then form
between the josts what is called les augets-
because it has the shape Of an auge, or trough.
The spikes and fbers of the timber give good
hold to the plaster, which is also supported by
the laths of the ceiling, on which it is pressed
and worked downto the said shape, leaving only
about three or four inches thickness in the mid
die, and rising against the sides nearly to the
tops Of the joists. On the upper face of the
joists there is another layer Of laths, and on
these a coat of the plaster from demolition, laid
on with mortar or plaster, and on this are laid
the baked hexagonal bricks, which are very
generally used,

The intense frosts Of the recent winter have
had the effect of greatly damaging brick and

marble and brown stone steps have been liter
ally sundered by the action Of the cold weather.

HlGH AsPIRArtoNs.-The Philadelphia Bul
letln remarks that of late years, every othel
man seems to be aspiringto the presidency anc
every other newspaper mentions some Tom
Dick or Harry, the lion Of some little locality,
but W hom nobody else ever heard Of, who, by
some lnserutable dispensation, has managed tc
connect his name with the presidency. The
Bulletin seems greatly -disgruntled that the
country should have come to such pass, and
that peaceable and unofendng citizens should
be beset ateyery turn by swarms of political
lazaroni, hungry for place and notoriety. =
Upon which the Richmond va. dispatch re.
marks that the editor of the Bulletin ought tc
regard the matter in a more philosophical and
liberal spirit. It takes all sorts of people tc
make world. "some men are born great
some have greatness thrust upon them;' and
others spend their lives in fruitless pursuit OF
It, This is a free country, and every man has
a right to aspire to the presidency, or to the
moon, if he sees fit. Moreover, after some OF
the elevations which have taken place to that
office, there are few individuals, however OBJ
scure, in whom it would be presumptousness
to dream Of the highest political exaItation
which our institutions permit. =l

WHAT Is SAID.

1t is said that d"ring the Cincinnati Con-
vention in Columbia, a delegate offered a
resolution:
"That i'll the opinion of this Convention,
we, the delegates assembled. represent only
small fraction of the people of the State.
Be it therefore
" RESOLVED, That, owing to our small mi
nority, our delegates to Cincinnati be in
structed not to commit the State to any
measure, or to the support of any particn-
lar candidate"
An honest man, that. He did not wish
the minority to dictate to the majority +;
but the great High Priest of Federalism
from the mountains, demolished the fellow
by the following knock do,on argument:
"1t'is true," said lie, "tl,at we are small
in numbers, but for Gods sake let us not
say SO. Keep the secret; it will be found
out soon enough anyhow"
We give the above as told by friend.

NICARAGUA.

Gen. WALKER appears 10 withstand all
opposition. His last battle resulted in an
overwhelming defeat of the Costa Ricans.
lie has written a letter to the authorities at
Washington, in which it is stated that the
French have probably had something to do
in instigati,.g the Central American States
to take up arms against him. He also
sends out Mr.. VIGIL as Minister, who is
now in New York; he has instructions not
to proceed to Washington, unless he has
some guarantee that he will be accredited
as Minister from his Government. IF it is
true that France or any power has or will
in future undertake any official intermcd-
ding i'll Central American affairs, the set
tlement of this question, to which hereto
fore but little Importance has been attached,
may yet involve us in war. The inter-
ference could not certainly have been au-
thorized by the French Government.
Should we recognize the independence
of Nicaragua under WALKERS Government,
i; would be construed by England into All
abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty.
Although WALKERS expedition has reccv-
ed no support nor countenance from our
Government, yet men nave gone there in
spite of all efforts to deter them, and the
new Government which WALKER has i'll
augurated, has been established and is now
maintained by Americans; SO that, were we
to receive WALKERS Minister, and acknowl-
edge the independence Of Nicaragua, it
would appear-if not really truc-that we
were doing that which we were bound not
to do bV the treaty Of 1852.

CONGRESS-:

We have nc, news Of special interest to
record from tile seat Of Government. No
thing of Importance will be done during
the balance of the session, except to ar
range the machinery for making Presi-
dent. There is no guessing when Congress
will adjourn. The House has refused to
pass resolution to adjourn the l4th July,
offered by Hon. Howell CoDB. The Black
Republicans, who have control of the
House, wish to continue the session because
it affords them an opportunity of distribu-
ting millions of abolition speeches, pam
phlets, &C., at the expense of the govern
ment. 1t allows them the time and
means of disseminating their pernicious
doctrines.
If the Democrats could succeed in pass
ing the general appropriation Bills, the
Senate in conjunction with the President,
could force an adjournment. The consti-
tuition provides that in case of disagree
ment between the Senate and House, rs to
the time of adjournment, the President
may adjourn them to such time as he may
think proper; so the Senate could fix the
time of adjournment, and if the House
would not agree, then the Executive, under
the Constitution, could settle the question
between them.
In the session during the Presidential
canvass, there is generally very little bust
ness done, so that to prolong the session
amounts to profitIess incubus upon the
Treasury.

WELL DONE. FOR LAuRENg

We learn from tho Herald, that thirty
one men, under the leadership of Gen. A.
Z. JONES, will leave on the goth inst. for
Kansas. The District, too, has subscribed
an amount sufficient to pay the expenses of
the whole number. The Kansas Commit
tee hope to raise more.
We see, too, that Newberry has awakened
from her lethargy, and strong efforts arc
being made to send n company to Kansas.
AT recent meeting, 81 200 was subscribed
on ths spot. Several gentlemen have pro-
posed to go.
This begins to look like we were in earn
est about this matter. We said in opening
the discussion Of the Kansas question, that
South Carolina should and could send one
thousand men, without Inconvenience to
her citizens. We are proud to state that
though she has not sent that number, she
has sent near double as many as any South
ern State except Missouri.
We see, too, mistaken notion poing the
rounds Of the papers-that to e.t,te one
to vote in Kansas. he must have resided six
months in the Territory prior to the cleo
tion. No specified time Of residence is re.
quired; any person is allowed to vote who
pays the territorial tax Of one dollar; so
that every voter that can be sent there be.
fore the October election, will have voice
in controlling its destiny.
We are satisfied, from the most reliable
information we can obtain, that Kansas will
be slave State. The pro-slavery party
had considerable majority at the last cleo.
ton, and the emigration since that time has
been. much greater from the South than
from the NORTH, though the South should
not yet relax her efforts to induce men Ia
go there by every honorable means.
