Worse aud WOrse--StartIing De-
VeIOpment!

The Columbus estate Journal . is
making desperate attempt to excuse
the Chase State officials for neglecting
to draw the State Sinking Fund from
the Treasury quarter annually as
they were plainly required to DOLBY
the 18th section Of Kelley's law of
April s, 1856, regulating the Treasu-
ry. The excuse set up for this delin-
quency is the alleged fact that there
was no Sinking Fund in the Treasury
at any ofthe several periods it was re-
quired to be drawn therefrom. Can
this be truel Ifso, tbs q startling de-
velopment which throws a flood Of
light on a subject which the State
Journal has heretofore done its best to
obscure. No Sinking Fund in tho
Treasury on the 18th Of March, 1857,
just after the taxes for the year had
all been paid over to the State by the
county tleasurers If this is 80, who
stole the money!

Important Discovery in the Iron
Trade.

A British Journal says that Mr..
John Harding, managing partner in
the Beeston Manor Iron Works, Leeds,
has just patented an improved meth
cd Of freeing ironstone and metal ores
from shale and other extraneous mat
ter. To those who are not acquaint-
ed with the.mode of winning ironstone
and preparing it for the blast furnace,
it may be necessary to premise that
the iron ore is imbedded in shale,
which must be removed prior to the
ore being sent to the blast furnace.
Hitherto this has been accomplished
by spreading the ore upon the sur
face, and subjecting it to the action of
the weather, until the shale is suffi-
GENTLY loosened to allow of its being
Clipped or Mapped" off the ore by
manual labor. This is a work Of
months and years, and it is not only
a long but also costly process, in con-
sequence of the number Of men neces-
sarily employed in spreading, chip
ping, &c. Mr.. Harding's discovery
dispenses altogether with the necessi-
ty for subjecting tie ore to the action
Of the air, and by the application of
steam accomplishes, in two or three
hours, that which has previously oc-
cupied one or two years.

81 GUESS You CAN CoME. I've
heard good story a day or two ago
which we will tell, maugre the risk Of
its being second-handed; and it is too
good a story to offend even those
whose sectit hits. A good lady at
the outset of Universalism, conceived
a holy horror at the blasphemy of its
supporters in pretending that all
would be saved. 1t was preposterous
outrageous, and in the spirit that
filed her, she wouldn't have a man in
her house who believed the aboinina-
bic doctrine. Shcsskeps a boarding.
house, and applied a test of belief to
every applicant for board. The first
who offered was a sea-captain, and
she began with, "Doyou believe that
all the world will be savedp
"No, madam" !" said he.
GLOW many do you think will be
damnedW continued she.
ooh! !" said he, 81 don't know
perhaps a million"
SWELL" the Old lady remarked in a
tone of content, swell, that is better
than hone at all; guess you can
come" ."-[Lyan Reporter.

TAKING IT CooLY.-The following
is the best joke upon John Bull
John was travelling on some West
ern railroad when tremendous ex-
plosion took place, the cars at the same
time coming to a sudden halt. The
passengers sprang up in terror, and
rushed ont to acquaint themselves with
the mischief-all but Mr.. Bull, who
continued reading his newspaper
In moment somebody rushed back
and informed him that the boiler had
bursted.
"Awe!" grunted the Englishman.
"Yes," continued his informant,
"and sixteen people have been kill
ed"
".Awe!" muttered the EngliShman
again.
"And-and," said his interlocutor,
with an effort, "your own man-your
servant-has been blown into hun.
dred pieces"

AN ENCHDENT AT TIE BAT
TLE OF THE THAMES.
RELATED BY AN OLD SOLDIER.

AT the battle of the Thames, a
laughable incident occurred, which is
thus related by one who was in the en-
gagement:
The British General had formed his
men in open order, with their cannon
pointing down the road, by which the
Americans were advancing. Gen.
Harrison Immediately took advantage
ofthis, and ordered Col. Johnson's
mounted regiment to charge at speed
by the heads Of companies $50 as to
expose the least possible 'front.' pass
through the open intervals, and form
in the rear of the British forces. This
movement was brilliantly executed by
the battalion under the command Of
Lieut.. Col. James Johnson, his broth
er Col. r. M. johnson, at the same
time charging the Indians with the 9th.
er battalion.
1t happened in one of the compa-
MES under James Johnson's command
there wasa huge, long legged, Draw.
ny fellow, named Lamb; he weighed
about 240 pounds, was brave man,
and as good humored as big-brav(
men proverbially are. Lamb haj
broken down his Kentucky horse by
his great weight, and was mounted
instead upon a short, stout, wild Ca.
madam pony; from whose sides his
long limbs depended almost to the
ground while his bulky frame hung
high above the beast looking not mn
like an overgrown school-boy astridt
of a rough sheep.
When the charge was made
Lambs pony took fright, and broke
into run. Lamb pulled until thu
bit broke in the animals mouth, anc
all command of him was lost. The
little pony stretched himself to thu
work, dashed oat of the ranks, soor
outstripped all the file leaders anG
pushed on ahead of the company
Lamb was no longer master of hi
horse or himself, and he wasi in quan

trampled to death by his friends, j

chow DO YOU DO!"

NATIONAL FORMS Of salutations are
true indices of national character
The whole history of race may be
found in the dictionary ofits language
Words and phrases are the offspring
of previously existing objects,
thoughts, and circumstances, and thcil
paternity is easily traced.
Thus among all savage and warlike
people the common salutation conveys
a wish or a prayer that the person
salutcd may enjoy peace, the greatest
good of individuals and Of nations
and. the boon most frequently with
held in that phrase of life. Through
out the Bible is the inyariable bless
! ing-Shatuna! and the wandering
| Bedouins Of the desert have, to this
day, the same form of salutation:--
Another phrase of theirs, "lf God
will, thou art WE'LL" 5ctrays the dog
ma of the Islam.
"Peace be unto thCo," says the flu
ent and facile Persian; 81 make pray,
ers for thy greatness may thy shad'
ow never be less" This last form
smacks Of Summer and South. Such
salutation would make a Northman
shivcr. 1t shows, too, great respect
for fat--for dignifed, aldermanic ro,
tundity.
The Greeks, joyful people, full Of
the vigor of a life Of action, expressed
their Salutation in a single word
"Rejoice."
The commercial and enterprising
Genoesc of the middle ages used to
say, Suaetata guedagno-" Health
and gain, than which no phrase
could be more characteristic.
In similar spirit the ''swaggerlng
Hollander" salutes you with "H0e
ccrat8 ge?"--"How fare you!"
The easy, -phlegmatic German says,
"Leben SIC aoOhU D." Live thou
we'll 2"
The Frenchman's "COmment UouS
porteg u0uS?"-"Iow DO you carry
yourself9"--reveals the very soul ofthe
French character. H0ao is the formu
larry, and not aohat. And the pOrt't
v0ats, how we'll it expresses the eager
restlessness and vivacious manners oi
that nation! "COmment ca 0G't-aW
is of the same tone and character.
John Bull and Brother Jonathan, il
a hearty, but business-like tone, greeti
you with "How do you do!" What
could be more characteristic of the
great and potential Anglo-Saxon race
To do, of course--of this there is nc
question--it is the all of life; bu
@How do you dol" How are you.'
This embraces all--health, wealth
power, and knowledge. What NOR
could one say9 Here it is all in thes
words, "How do you do9' Again
the answer is, "Well--I do well !"-
Reader, "How do you do!"-LIF.

lines with him, SO far ahead of the
rest, he must be killed. Either way
death seemed inevitable; and, to use
his expression, he thought "he'd list
say something they could tell his
friends in Kentucky, when they went
home"
lie stuck beth heels to the pony's
fanks and urged him to his utmost
speed. On they drove, some fifty
yards in front of the leading file,
Lambs gigantic person swaying to
each side, and his legs swinging in a
most portentuous fashion-the little
Canadian pulling foot" all he knew
how, his tail straight, his nostrils dis
tended, his ears pinAcd back, and his
shiny eyes flashing from under their
shaggy foretop, with all the spite and
spleen ola born devil. Just as be
got within a stride or two of the Brit
ish, Lamb flourished his rifle, and
roared out in a voice of thunder
"Clcar the way, Cd d--n
you'll for l am coming !"
To his surprise the line opened
right and left, and he passed through
unhurt. So great was their astonish-
ment at the strange apparition ofsuch
a rider, and such a horse moving up
on them with such furious velocity,
that they opened mechanically at his
word Of command, and lot him pass, =
So soon as he gained the rear Of their
position, Lamb rolled off in the grass,
and suffered his pony to go his own
road. A few minutes more and he
was with his comrades, securing pris-
Loners.

Expelled from Church for Voting
for Buchanan,

The Grand Rapids (AIich.) Mgui-
rer contains a full report of the trial,
conviction and expulsion from the
church Of Deacon Z. G. Stebbins, of
the town of Alpine, in that county
lie was the first deacon in the church
to which he belonged-the Freewill
Baptist, and the charge against him
was that be sustained slavery by vo.
ting for Buchanan. lie was also
charged with deception, because, when
asked if he was going to vote for lib
erty or slavery he said liberty. Steb-
bens admitted the facts charged, but
defended himself by saying that the
Democratic ticket, which he did vote,
supported the most liberal principles
Of any ticket now in vogue.
