la a contest of muscle against
steam, we should suppose that the
odds we're decidedly in favor of the
latter; but this does not happen at
all times. A match was made at
Buffalo, the other day, by Capt. Be.
m IN, of the steam ferry-boat Cyg.
net, who wagered MIR. |. Staley, Of
Grand Island, the sum Of forty dol
lars that the latter could not pull a
boat from Grand Island to Black
Rock while the steamer was going
the same distance = nine miles. Mr..
Staley obtained the race boat Mary,
OF Buffalo, and won the race by one
minute and a half The nine miles
was accomplished by Mr.. Staley,
against a four-mile current, 10 one
hour and thirteen minutes, and by
the steamer 10 one hour and fourteen
and half The steamer is consid-
cred the fastest boat west of New

Our readers will remember the
effort that was made in many por-
tiuns of this State to defeat Judge
Wright, who was candidate for the
Supreme Judgeship, by running
Judge Walker, at the late judicial
election. Judge Walker has address
ed a letter to the Nashville Union,
in which he not only denies giving
his consent to be run as candidate,
but says that be bad no knowledge
that such use would be made of bis

wrong has beer done him, and be has
waited in vain for the men who con-
cocted the scheme, TO relieve him; be

Life in Kansas.

A correspondent of the Missouri
Republican gives graphic descrip-
ton OF his experience in Kansas.
He went into tavern. where he
saw stout. big men lying on all
sorts of beds. shaking with ague,
while 10 an adjoining room team
STEERS were hugging and kissing their
sweethearts, who sat in their laps,
and the oxen were living down by the
door sill. resting. Dogs, cats, hogs,
and fowls seemed to be in partner
ship; enjoying squatter sovereignty.
Dust and sand were flying in clouds
and the mosquitoes came down in
Swans. The thermometer stood
at 80 in the shade. At dinner il
was every man for himself, and the
devil take the hiudmost. The old
dame came in with a frying pan
from the kitchen, and emptied its
contents on plate. 1t had nc

met with on every road, with "enter-

The Court Of Appeals of New
York has decided that man must
be tried by twelve jurors, by award
ing a new trial to Cancemi, convicted
OF murder, because he was tried by
eleven Jurors only, though the pris-
oner assente6 to this arrangement.
The Court, however, holds that trials
for crime must take place as the law
prescribes, and the State has an in
terest in preserving the lives and
liberties of its citizens, and will moi
allow Il surrender of them. If a
deficiency of one juror could be al
lowed, deficiency of eleven might
also be permitted, or the trial COM
mitted to the Court alone, an inno-
walton which would destroy the insti
tuition of trial by jury. Cancemi
has been tried three times; twice he
was convicted, and the verdict set
aside, end once the jury disagreed.
He now has another chance for his
life.

BONES.

The following shows what is done
with bones 10 Now York. The same
operations are carried on upon an ex-
tensive scale in the vicinity Of Bos-
ton:
The price paid for bones varies
according to quality. Thigh bones
of bullocks are made into handles of
tooth-5rusbes, and are of the most
value, being worth from 10 to IL
cents apiece. The jaw-bone ranks
next, and sells for Sl8 per thousand.
The short bones which are thrown
from the family table, are worth 80
cents per bushel. A Mr.. Green iu
New York;, pays $lOO per day for
bones, and there are many in that
city who are engaged in the business
who pay an equal amount. OK
hoofs are worth $40 per ton, horse
hoofs, and sheep boots and horns
Sl5 per ton. On the arrival of the
bones at the factory, the thigh and
Jaw bones are sawed so as to admit OF
the removal of the marrow. They
are then thrown into vast cauldron
aud boiled until all the marrow aud
fatty substances attached to them
are thoroughly extracted. The fat
is then skinned off and placed in
coolers, and the bones are deposited
in heaps for assortment. The thigh,
jaw, and other bones suitable for but.
tons are placed in second pile; the
bones suitable for bone black
comes No. 2, aud the remainder are
ground up for phosphates and ma.
nures. Bone black is used by sugar
refiners, and is worth % and 3 cents
per pound. Stuart's refinery pays
$4,000 annually for this article, and
each of the other ten refneries pay
nearly the same amount. Mr.
Green realizes about $4,000 pei
annum from soap fat produced by
bone boiling.
