GEN VIM. WALKER AND NICARAGUA.
From Tire Harrisburg Teiegr

From tie Harrisburg Telegraph.
The latest arrival from Nicaragua brings to
this country the intelligence that peace will be
shortly made between Walker and his enemies;
that his affairs are in most.a flourishing condi-
ton, and that a large number of recruits from
New York, New Orleans and California have
been added to his forces. There now remains
but little doubt that he will be able to perma-
nently establish himself and his followers in
that country, and retain possession of the Gov
ernment. Settlers have been invited from all
parts, and free farms offered to them. The de-
cree of 1924, abolshng Slavery, has been re-
caragua is solicited. The soil, the climate
and the productions-such as rice. sugar, cot
ton and tobacco-are suitable to Slave labor,
and this is held to be necessary for the pros
perity of the country, and the full development
of its rich resources. A large quantity of the
landed property, which belonged to the native
inhabitants, has been conf>cated to the use of
the Government. Pierre Soule has purchased
one of the confiscated estates, and number of
the remaining estates will be purchased by
Southern Shareholders, OF by capitalists who
are willing and able to purchase Slaves to
stock them. If the future may be judged by
the past, there will be an attempt made to an

GOODBYE.

Some words may often touch the heart,
Some oft create sigh
But none more meaning can impart,
Than one fond last goodbye"
"Good-bye :" an aged mother said
Unto the infant son;
word OF prayer, tear was shed
Der that sweet angel one.
The spirit of the child is gone,
But on its pallid brow
a smile remained just like the ons
of angels. smiling now.
All, when leave this dreary world
For brighter realms on high;
For loves dear sake, I'll not forget
To breathe last goodbye -

Benjamin Franklin.

One hundred and forty-eight years ago a Massachusetts tallow- -chandlcr's wife had a son.
 He grew up an a* kwara lad, clothed in regal linscy wolsay of his mothers loom whose hands were redoent of the perfume of scap and car- dlcs--a ploddhg soul, tha. t5ilcd by day and studied by night ; stealing from the hours alot- ted to rcpose, he laborcd on. Companions summed hiu, he was so dnll-the woman of his choice ridiculcd him. he was so awkward but he laborcd on.
 And what was the birth or the life of such q fellow to the elite of Christendom What was he to the great and learned of earth? He-a dipper of candles, type-sticker, maker of al- manacs an interpreter for Poor Richard"- what was he to statesmen and potentates ?- Ah! ke never changed his employment in youth be made light for Boston's lampless Ian tcrI--in manhood he enlightened the world The poor printers boy to-day--the honored of Kings tomorrow the "poor Benny" of bis mother today-t!te immortal Franklin forever. Crowns had pressed the brows, and laurcls wreathed the temples of meaner men, He charged bayonets against the fgh.nings of Hea- ven, and they fell harmless at his feet he wreathed garland of their fiery wings, and bound it round his brow.
 Aud yet he was no genius Plain common sense, 6xeduess of purpose, and uuwesried in- dustry, and indomitable perseverance, noble motive-these alone were his Without the polish of schools, the graces of courts, the elo- quence of the orator, the inspiration of the bard, or the fame of warrior, the printer of Phila- delRhia is remembered to-day, and throughout tho land, the euIogy is pronounced for him the poet tunes his harp
 Amidst all the memories of men who haze lived and died within the last half century, his shines cloudless and rnblent with meaner rays. like some greater star that has out~atched the night, and glitters undiu,med on the brow of the morning.

TYPOGRAPHICAL FEAr-The Workers Herald

TYPOGRAPHICAL FEAr-The Yorkers Herald in noticing the recent typographical performance in Philadelphia, says much greater feats have been performed in New Fork:
 On one occasion during the active b,:siness rivalry which existed solne years ago, between the Tinchester and the Harper Brothers, and which resulted so disastrousIy for the former house, Gen Winchester procured an advanced copy of The Last of the Barons," one of Bnl- wer's novels, which the Harpers where then set ting up from proof sheets furnished by the au- thor ]" The last Of the Barons" contains quite as much matter as the two volumes of Macau- lay and it was past niec o'clock in the morning when General Winchester procured the book Everything else was stopped, and one hundred and fifty hands were set to work ou the prize. Before five o'clock in the afternoon .he types were all set, the proofs read and corrected, the forms made up, locked up. and sent to the press room. At seven o'clock the next morning the book printed, pressed, folded, stitched, and neatly bound in paper covers, was on the coun- ter of every periodical dealer in New York and Brooklyp, 10 the utter horror and coasteina ton of the HsrpArs

A WoHDERrrL CHANGE would come over tbe face of society, if the mental energies of great number of smart men ard women could be turned to works ofjustce and charity, instead of being wasted in political and scctarian backguardism by one sex, and in tea-tabie and sewing-circie scandal by the other sex. On these frivolous and pernc;ous themes of discussion, there is enough racking Of powerful brains to bring about the promised era of peace and goodwill in few years, provided efforts were made toward that end equal to those which are made to continue the reign of strife and malice.
 4 selfish, artful meddlesome, overbearing temper is shockingly out of place in female. unless she aspires to be political leader under the era of :: woman's rights" We are as deep ly surprised and pained at meeting such vices Of character in one of the gentler sex as horti culturalist would be at seeing choice peach-trees bearing gallnuts; bittcr-almonds, prickly-pears; and crab-apples.

MAN nc longer waits for favoring gales, but by means of steam he realizes the fable of Eo- lus' bag and carries two and thirty winds in tho boiler of his boat. To diminish friction, he paves the road with iron bars, and, mounting c coach with q sbip-load of men, animals and merchandise behird him. he darts through the country, from town to town like an eagle or c swallow through the air. By the aggregate of these aids, how is the face of the world chang. ed from the era of Noah to that of Napoleon 1 The private poor man hath cities, ships, canals, bridges, built for him. He goes to the post office, and the human race runs on his errands {; to the book-shop and the human race read and write of all that happens to him the court house, and nations repair his wrongs He sets his house upon the road, and the human race go forth every morning, and shovel out tho snow, and cut path for him.

The Trial Trip of the First Losoinottve.

Major Horatio Allan, the engineer of the New York and Erie Railroad, in speech made during a recent festival occasion. gave the following account of the first trip madc py locomotive on this continent When was it? Who was it :? And who awakened its energies and directed US move lneuts !? It was in the year 1927, on the banks of the Lackawaxen, at the commencement ot the railroad connecting the canal of the Deiar ware and Hudson Canal Company with ther coal mines-and he who addresses you was the only person on that locomotive. The clrcum- sta ,rcs which led to my being alone on the engine were these The road had been built in the summer, the structure was of hemlock tim ber and rails of large dimensions notched on caps placed far apart. The timber had crack cd and warped from exposure to the sum- After about 300 feet of straight line, the road crossed the Lackawaxen Creek on trestie work about 80 feet high with curve of 355 to 4Ou feet radius. The impression was very general that this iron monster would either break down the road or it would leave the track at the curve and plunge into the creek. My reply to such apprehensions was that it was too late to consider the probability of such occurrences there was no other course but to have trial made of the strange animal, which had been brought hele at great expense !; but that it was not necessary that more than one should be involved in it's fate that would take tho first ride alone, and the time would come when I should look back to the incident with great interest As placed my hand on the throttler valve handle, was undecided whether would move slowly or with fair degree of speed but believing that the road would prove safe. and preferring, if we did go down, to go hand: somely, and without any evidence of timidity, I started with considerable velocity, passed tho curve over the creek safely, and was soon out of hearing of the cheers of the vast assemblage. At the end of two or three miles l reversed the valye and returned without accident to the place of starting, having thus made the first railroad trip by locomotive on the Western hemisphere.
