A GREAT WINDFALL-SEvENTEEN Millions
Thomas Wimans, of Baltimore, says the Clipper
of that city, has, it learns, recovered claim of
S5, 100000 against the Russian Government,
which makes his share of the proceeds from
freight and passenger travel over the railroad of
that country reach the sum of 100000,
drafts for which on the banks of Europe have
been brought on to him. 1t appears that, in his
contract with Russia, he was to receive GER
tain per centage on all freight and passenger
travel, but it was thought by the government
that they were exempted from this tax when ap-
piled to the transportation of soldiers to take
part in the war of Crimea. He accordingly en-
gagged the services of John H B. Latrobe, who
went on and recovered the claim by due course
of law and, on account of the many thousand
soldiers transported, his proportion was swelled
from twelve to seventeen millions. LatroLe we
understand, received fee of $4,000 a month,
independent of bis expenses, and upon reaching
Baltimore and announcing the result of his la
bors was presented with check for Sl00, 900.

The Father OF Waters.

The vastness of the great Mississippi river i.
thus given by newspaper correspondent, who
writes from Maiden Rock, Wisconsin
While look out upon the river, three miles
wide at this point, my hand seems to take in at
one grasp the magnitude of the stream From
the frozen regions of the north to the sunny
South, it extends some 3,l0O miles, and with
the Missouri is over 800 miles in length 1t
would reach from New York across the ATTAIN
tic, and extend from France to Turkey, and to
the Caspian Sea. Its average depth from its
source, in Lake Ithaca, Minnesota, to its delta,
in the Gulf of Mexico, is fifty feet. and its width
near mile. The trapper, on the Upper Mis-
sissippi, can take the furs of animals that in
habit its sources, and exchange them for the
tropical fruits that are gathered on the banks
below. Slaves toll at one end of the great thor
oughf,re while the free red mel of the forest
roam at the other end. The floods are more
than month in travelling from it's source to its
delta. The total value of steamers at1oat on this
river and its tributaries is more than Sc 000, ,000
and numbers more than ,500-more than twice
the entire steamboat tonnage of England, and
equal to that of all other parts of the world
1t drains the area of 100000 square miles,
which is justly styled the garden of the world.
1t receives a score of tributaries. the least of
which are longer than the vaunted streams of
the mighty empires of Europe. 1t might
furnish natural boundaries for all Europe, and
yet leave for every country a river larger than
the Seine. 1t engulfs more every year than the
revenue of many petty kingdoms, and rolls a
volume in whose depth the cathedral of St. Paul
could be sunk out of sight. 1t discharges, in
one year, more water than has issued from the
Tiber in FIVE centuries; it swallows up fifty riv-
ers, which have no name, each of which are
longer than the Thames. The addition of the
waters of the Danube would not swell it half
fathom in one single reservoir, Pepin) $500
miles from the sea, the navies of the world
might safely ride at anchor. 1t washes the
shores of twelve powerful States, and between
its arms lies space for twenty more.

KANSAS AFFAIRs-The st. Louis Democrat
of Feb. 9th has the following from its Leaven-
worth correspondent:
Lawrence letters in the Leavenworth papers
contain the proceedings of the Board of Com
mssioners to investigate the election frauds.
Mclean, the chief clerk of the Surveyor Gener-
ais Office, testified to having sent the returns of
both elections to Platte City at Calhoun's re-
quest that he had not seen them since; and
that the Delaware crossing returns had never
been received at Lecompton. This was doubt
ed, and Sheriff Walker was despatched to Le-
compton to search Calhoun's office, and found
buried in the ground, under woodpile, the
identical returns which Mclean swore to hav-
ing sent to Platte City. Governor Denver, the
Speaker of the House. and the President of the
Senate, examined him, and he swore that they
were the same returns that Calhoun counted on
the l4th January; that the Delaware Crossing
returns were among them, footing up 349 votes
Previous 10 this, Dffenderf had testified to
having given the Delaware Crossing returns to
calhoun at Weston subsequent to the count at
Lecompton 1t was said that evidence would
re produced of his preventing Calhoun from
having the returns when he counted the other
votes. Writs had been issued for Mclean and
Sherwood who had fed to escape arrest

APPLAUDING PREAeHERs.-In the fourth CEN
tury the preachers were applauded during the
delivery of discourses, after the manner of pop
ular lectures and political assemblies of modern
times. Indeed, the frequent cries of "orthodox, y
and the clapping of the hands and stamping of
the feet in the churches were as common at that
period similar proceedings now at the opera.
1t is related that Chrysostom, the celebrated
preacher was applauded in the great church at
Constantinople, by the people waving their
plumes, their handkerchief, and their garments,
and by others laying their hands on their hearts
and exclaimng :-"Thou art worthy of the

GLOOMY PRosPEcT OF CROPS THE MERGED
The grain fields in the farming country along the

tion of certain tracts of land, improved at great
expense, by the introduction of water for irriga-

fcient crops to pay the expense of harvesting
Unless an early rain takes place. the failure in

WHoopIxG CoUGH.--The following receipt for
the cure of whooping cough is said to be ex-
cellent: "The best kind of coffee prepared as
for the table, and common drink to the
child as warm as can be drank and piece of
alum for the patient to lick as soon as it may
wish. Most children are fond of alum, and will
eat all they need without being urged; but if
they dislike it they must be made to taste it eight
or ten times of a day 1t will efiectually break
up the worst case of whooping cough in very
short time To adults and children in the habit
of taking coffee. the remedy is good for nothing.

FRENCH METHOD OF KEEPING GRAPEs.-A new
method of keeping grapes in winter has been
adopted to some extent in France, consisting es-
sentially in hanging up the branches separately
by the smaller end on wire hooks. Small wires,
of sufficient stiffness and few inches in length,
are bent in hooks in the shape of the letter S !;
one end is passed into the smaller end of the
bunch, and the other placed upon a suspended
hoop. The position of the punches causes every
berry to hang away from its neighbor and con-
sequently they are less liable to rot by contact
than by any other arrangement.

WATER SUPPLIED BY AN EARTHQUAKE.-The San
Jose Tribune informs us that, in the valley, not
lar from the town of San Luis Obispo, the earth
quake of the 9th of January, of last year, which
was felt with more or less violence in every Sec
uon of the State, opened large assures in the
earth, from one of which gushed forth, and has
continued to flow ever since, stream. of pure
water, in quantity enough to turn mill. Nu-
merous attempts to sound this well have all
failed to find bottom,
