Our remarks few days since about the adultera
ton of lard for shipment, it appears excited sus

lately imported from England, provides for the sub

genuine article not 10 be detected by inspection.
The suspicion excited by our comments was farther
confirmed by the recollection that some dealers in
lard who had purchased almost daily in the market,
were also sellers at price below the cost of their

WONDERFUL PRESENCE OF MlND-We find the
following and doubtless authentic anecdote in
change, where it bears the heading of "A Great
Feat Great Lie"
1t is recorded fact, that engineer on one
of the Eastern railroads, on approaching sixteen
feet draw with his engine, tender, baggage car,
and two passenger at the rate Of forty miles
hour, and discovering to his horror when within
quarter of mile that the draw was open, instantly
realized that to break up in time to stop abso
lutey impossible, and opened wide rushing
the gap at the fearful rate Of eighty ninety miles
an hour, with his train safe and sound"
great lie indeed The ncredulity of some green
country editors who not yet up with the times
is-really mortifying-especially to the more
lightened members of the profession. Why there is
at present in operation near Boston, Jumping loco
motive which only touches the ground once in a
mile. 1t is perfectly round, the machinery in the
centre, and is coated externally with India rubber.
So the patent has been secured, its proprietor
| supposes that thousands of them will be seen bob
bin around the world, so that to the Man in the
Moon the Earth will look like big cheese covered
with skippers' 1t does not look we'll to doubt
anything days.

A LANTERN TO GIVE LIGHT UNDER WATER.-Ihe
lantern must be made of leather, which will resist
the waves better than any other substance, and must
be furnished with two tubes, having a cOmmunica
ton with the air above One of these tubes 10 admit
fresh air for maintaining the combustion of the can
die, and the other to chimney, by afording
passage to the smoke; both must rise above the
surface of the water The tube which serves to ad-
nit fresh air must communicate with the lantern at
the bottom and that which serves a chimney must
be connected with it at the top Anyrumber of holes
may be made in the leather of which the lantern is
constructed into which glasses fitted; by these
means the light will be dfused on all sides. In the
last place the lantern must be suspended from a
piece of cork that it may rise and fall with the waves
This ingenious though simple mode of construction
answers The purpose admirably.

It's stated that Mr.. Buchanan's letters by the
Arabia that the feeling in political circles
in England is much modified towards the United
States on the present differences. The reaction Is
even stronger than is indicated by the press and is
favorable to a reasonable adjustment. No difficulty
is now anticipated that score although there had
been no very recent conferences, owing to Lord Car
