BLACKBERRY WINE.-There is no wine
equal to the blackberry wine when properly
made, either in favor or for medicinal pur-
poses, aud all persons who can conveniently
do so, should manufacture enough for their
own use every year, as it is invaluable in
sickness as tonic, and nothing is q bet
ter remedy for bowel diseases. We there
fore give the receipt for making it, and hay-
ing tried it ourselves we speak advisedly
on the subject
Measure your berries and bruise them ;
to every gallon adding one quart Of boiling
water Let the mixture stand twenty-fonr
hours, stirring occasionally then strain on
the liquor into cask, to every gallon add

Little LeWie.


Little Lewie.
MRS. MARY JANE
Little laughterloving sprite,.
Dancing like sunbeam bright,
From rosy morn till starry night,
Darling Lewie;
Full Of mischief full of fun,
Blessings on our precious one.
How we love him none can know,
Brightest gift on earth below
he can smile and prattle so,
Dark eyed Lewie;
Filling every heart with joy,
Sure he is a iUoHdrosis boy
When he laughs and when he cries,
When he ope's or shuts his eyes;
Whatever thing, to do he tries,
Precious Lewie
We love our darling, just The same,
And tho we try, can never blame.
Oft we fear the angels bright,
VIII envy us our hearts delight;
And deck with robes of shining white,
Our sweet Lewie /;
Oh then our hearts 60 forth in prayer
That God our only one may spare.

New Government nxpedition.

The sailing of Lieut.. j. NJ BRooKr, of
the U. s. Navy, in the Star Of the West
for California, is Introductory to one of the
important events Of the day. He goes to
survey a route from San Francisco to China,
by the way of Japan. Lieut. Brooke is as
capable scientific an officer Of bis grade as
there is in the service, and the duty intrust-
ed to his superntendence will be thorough.
ly performed. He is the inventor of Che
apparatus for obtaining deep sea soundings,
now in use in this country, Great Britain
and France The route TO be examined
includes the vicinity Of large number Of
the islands in the japan Seas, and in the
Pacific, rocky reefs, and innumerable shoals,
and other hidden and unknown dangers. -
The object of the present expedition is the
preparation of an accurate chart of the
best aud most secure passage between the
two shores. Lieut.. b. was the 6rst officer
to survey several of the islands, and his ex-
perience will be most valuable. His chart
of the island of Niphon is astandard work,
and is used by every navigator
lie takes with him, as clerk, native Of
Japan, who, being wrecked, was brought
to this country some years since, and has
received an excellent education.
We understand that the Navy Depart
ment consider this one Of the most impor-
tant expeditions that has left our shores for
many years. and the scientific world looks
anxiously forward to its results.

We learn from one of our exchanges
that the stockholders of the company Of
Wheeler & Wilson's Sewing Machine at
Bridgeport have declared a dividend of ff.
ty per cent. On the first of January last,
a dividend Of taoenty per cent. was declared,
and year ago one of forty per cent. The
capital stock is $3.50, 600, aud the shares
are now at premium Of three hundred
per cent. The Company manufacture fifty
machines day, and keep $50 men in en-
ployment. They pay the patentee of one
particular combination in their machine ten
dollars for each machine they build. Ac.
cording to this statement, if it is not exag-
gerated, it is the most profitable property
in the State, and. the advancers of the capi-
tai will soon have their investments return
ed to them in full.
But the profits of an employment of this
kind are not permanent. AT the rate ma
chimes are turned out, every family in the
land will soon be supplied, and the demand
cease. There will be no constant demand
as in the case of perishable articles; hence
there can be no permanency in such i'm
mense profits, For a permanent invest
ment, three hundred per cent. is high
price. Let the owners of the stock rejoice
in their present success, for they will, by
and by, have to take up with diminished
return

VINO WAS "JUNIus ?"-Col. Benton, in
bis Thirty Years View" abridgment, gives
his opinion of who was the "Man in the
Iron Mask" in the following terse and
smooth style:
Before enlightened writer's had thrown
darkness on the authorship of Junius, it
was well conceded that there was but one
man in England, or the world, who united
in himself all the qualities of head heart
and temper, all the incidents of political
and personal life, which the writing of those
letters required; but one man who had
such power to drive the English language
such knowledge of men and things, such
amplitude of information, such lofty and
daring spirit, such inducement to publish
his thoughts and conceal his name, au ora
torical fame already 50 great as to set him
above the assumption Of that Of Junius,
great as it was. That one man was Lord
Chatham, then old and out of favor with
the King and dominant parties; relegated
(by bis peerage) to that Hospital of In
curables, " the House of Lords, whence no
patriotic voice could reach the Commons of
England; retired to his country seat Hayes,
and all visitors shut out; discontented, de-
spairing, restless, and seeing no way to
reach the people but through the press, and
by the means of appeals; bold to audacity,
patriotic to temerity, and the more impress
sive because shrouded in the mystery Of an
unknown origin. So stood Lord Chatham
and Junius in the latter part of the centu-
ry in which they lived, convertible charac-
ters, identical in person"

GIRLs.-There are two kinds of girls !;
one is the kind that appears the best abroad,
the girls that are ready for parties, rides,
visits, balls, &c, and whose chief delight
is in such things; the other is the kind that
appears the best at home, the girls that
are useful aud cheerful in the dinning-room,
the sick-room, and all the precints of home.
They differ widely in character One is
often torment at home, the other is a
blessing One is a moth; consuming every
thing about her; and the other is sun
beam, inspiring life and gladness along her
pathway. Now, it does not necessarily fol-
low that there shall be two classes Of girls.

tie and unite their characters in one.

a special law is unworthy Of the name il bears, and
Of all public support OF eountenance. The govern
ment, as il is conducted is based upon a revenue
system which taxes all goods of foreign manufacture
and production. TO meet expenditures heavy
inposts are laid and these operate directly in favor
Of certain branches of labor. There is little
prospect Of change in the system nor is its
modification desirable any other basis than the
wants of the treasury. Revenue laws, under such
circumstances, constitute the very best and the
most substantial foundation upon which the indus
try of the nation can be engaged. They protec-
tive in their very office; and it is sheer outrage to
seek their alteration upon any principle proposing
to confer special benefits upon classes. The fOun-
dations of great branch of industry should never
be exposed to partisan foundations they when
they rest for their security upon the Legislation of
Congress. He is the worst enemy of the manufac-
tmer, in our judgment who seeks to connect his af-
fairs with the politics of the day. How many Cali
fornia miners can tell the story of their abandonment
of good working ground to starve in competition with
others on some more noted diggings.

Tho first number of this weekly newspaper, now
transpanted from Knoxville, Tennessee, to this city,
made its appearance here yesterday morning. The
publishers are Messrs. John Mitchell and VIM. e..
Swan the editorin-chef Mr.. Mitchell. As act of
courtesy to a trenchant writer, and whose per-
sonal character is highly appreciated by large
class of citizens in the United States, publish the
salutatory article in which the sectional g Citizen"
makes its bow to metropolitan and national audi
ence. 1t will be found entertaining, though we
doubt it, in this latitude of the Union, its creed and
doctrines will find many disciples Mr.. Mitchells is
of those peculiar minds which, brilliant and full
of momentum, are ever inclined to fly off at tan
gent. We doubt if there is any orb in American
system of politics in which the Citizen could move
in steady and unvarying course; it prefers rather
those eccentric lines in which the make their
wild and dashng career. Though we cannot sub
scribe to the extreme views of the Citizen hope
for their accomplishment we can at least wish well
to the business enterprise in which neighbor is
embarked.

cd that the return of paupes sent back from america by
the American authorities within the past twelve months

Of this number seventeen unatics and epieptics
and the great majority brolen-down and scky and
OF the Irish nearly all have been passed home
at their request Fifteen of the whole arc still in
the work-house. 1t remarked by one member that
we ought to have claim upon government for the sup
port OF these pauper and another asked why should not
the Irish be sent at to their country instead of
to Liverpool Mr. Nelly said that the evil arose in this
way Emigrant runners in Liverpool persuaded poor
people to go to America On their arrival they were
asked whether they had of subsistence and if
they had not, and women with children OF preg-
nan or unprotected and had ticket TO oonyoy them
into the interior they ordered back by the commits
sione of New York and returned in the ship in which
they taken out Mr.. Denton said they knew that
in great number of these the persons had resided
in America for years, and that the women had been
ried to American citizens and had also had children by
them The chairman said that the best II not the only
thing they could to continue to send reports to
the Secretary Of State showing how abused ii
bill introduced these facts would weigh IN
