a STEAM EXCAvAToR.-Thc Cleveland
Leddcr describes steam cxcavator now

of the Cleveland and Erie railroadat Girard.
The editor says:
We were much surprised at the great
rapidity with which the dirt is excavated
and transferred to the cmbankInent, II dis
lance Of about One-eight of mile. One
locomotive and indefinite number of cars
are required To each excavItor. Temporary
tracks are laid from the embankmcnt TO the
excava tor, with side track and switch near
the latter, SO that the empty cars can be run
up 10 the machine for load, when they are
switched out To the main track, and inst M
ly another car is run up tn the cxcavator,
loaded. and sent whizzing down the track
tn the locomotive, and so on indefinitely
The switching is done by horses, and the
time required to run up the car, load it, and
send IL down the main track does not en-
c,c twenty seconds, and VIC saw them load
| four ears per minute for several minutes
The excavatOrs are placed on temporary
Trucks or blocks, and are moved by thcil

so large that one shovelfull fills car. The
depth to which these machines cut is about
twelve feet, and the surface already gone

less overruled by the Court of Appeals. If
oral instruction only is given in negro Sun

with books, or allowed TO take them TO the
schools! Do not the laws Of the State inn

HARD TOPLEAsE.-rhe Washington Union
finds fault with Senator Douglas because he
does not refute the. charge of extrava-
gance-made by Senator Trumbull, i'm re-
cent speech-against the Administration
We presume Mr.. Douglas feels no great anx-
iety to defend an Administration that is do
ing all it can to break him down. Besides,
The charge is especially hard to refute, and
Mr.. Douglas can put in his time to more
profit, than by trying to diSprove thing
that is so self erident He can come as near
proving black to be white as any man, but
10 sustain the Administration in its extrav-
aganees is too much of an Augcan task, for
his herculean shoulders. The Louisville
Democrat says Mr.. Trunibull was not "spe-
ci6c in his charges, and consequently they
were unworthy of notice. 1t Mr.. Trum.

The WOMAN WHO LIVES WITHOUT EATING

The WOMAN WHO LIVES WITHOUT EATING.
"A medical correspondent of the Newark
Adrertiser, having recently visited Mrs
Simeon Hays, "tbe woman who lives with
out eating" at Chester, Warren county,
New York, says:
The clear, discriminating statements of
Prof. Van Buren,, of the medical depart
ment of the New York University, who
saw her recently, aud Of my investigating
friend Dr. llinman, of Brooklyn, who saw
her to-day, and with whom intended to
20, leave me in little doubt with regard to
the case.
Ii Is unquestionably one Of hystcria i'm
its most aggravated form. Little food Is re-
quire,l in such eases, and this little is un-
questionably administered. II appears that
two sisters have had somewhat similar at
lacks Of hysteria, which indicates the con-
stitutional tendencies of the family. That
implicit credcncc Is not placed i'm the state
ment of Mr.. Hays, after all, may he inferred
10y the fact that within the last few days
the citizcns have met to appoint vigilance
committee 10 watch and determine cOnclu-
sively whether food il taken or not. There
is not here a want of motive. Although
the husband aas properly refused to consent
to let his wife go to Albany or New York
for exhibition, she has been removed to q
sort Of cxhibition-looking building in a viii
lage accessible to Caldwell 10y n plank road.
Here Mr. Hays, the hotel keepers, and gate
| tenders find their incomes and business In
creased. Doubtless they feel scnSibly that
lit is an i'll wind that blows nobody any
good

Arrival @ Returned slermens ~ Ne.

-0x00ko Ohtys
On the 18th Of July a large number Of
the company of two hundred Mormons who
received passports and protection from Gov.
Cumming last May, reached Nebraska City,
on their return to the States. They left
Salt Lake City on the 18th Of May, and
spent twenty days at Fort Bridger and three
days at Fort Kcarney. They were under
the care Of Capt Smith. The Nebraska
City Meas says: rl-gr..zyy,r
I've are Informed by ono of their num-
Der who has resided in Salt Lake City dur
ing the last four years, that there are large
numbers in the, city and throughout the
Territory who have for a long time mani
tested great anxiety to leave the country, but
have te,n compel by Brigham and his
satellites to remain. They express great
gratitude to Gov Cummings and to the Gov
eminent Of the United States for their de-
liverance.
They represent the times as being very
hard in Utah. Men are paid very poor
wages, and are robbed and plundered OF
their scausy earnings by those in authority.
Men employed upon public works are fed
upon dry bread, and when complaining OF
their hard fare are told by Young, Kemhail,
/ and the other Mormon leaders, that there
are plenty of streams OF water in the vicin-
| ify. The most alject and slavish servitude
is prevalent among the lower classes
Thousands who came out in hand-carts
would BE- glad TO return in whcel-barrows
Thsssystem Of polygamy as practiced by
tie 1cadcrs of the Mormon Saints, is repre-
sented as being most foul and disgusting &c
any one possessing morals or virtue. Oul
informant tells US he has heard Young pub
licly state that he knew not how man,
wives he had, and he is known TO have
eighty or ninety, and children enough t.

HoosrC TrSSEL.-Thc great tunnel under
the Hoosic Mountain, on the route Of the
railroad from Troy to Greenfield, i'm Masssi-
chusetts, is still progressing, il seems, in de-
fancc of all obstacles. 4 correspondent Of
the Boston Trareicr, who has just visited
the scene Of operations says:
The work is now all done with common
drills, all machinery having been thrown
aside as useless, and tine progress is at the
rate Of about twenty feet per week. At the
eastern end sixty men are employed, and only
between two and three hundred feet of the
excavation are finished. Some think the
whole may lie completed in four years, as
the rock is soft, others that it will require
twenty or more; others again think it can
never he finished.

Rag The arrival of European steamers

E6y- The arrival Of European steamers
will now be matter scarcely more noticed
than the arrival of the old line packet SHIPS,
in the news and commercial world. They
viii bring bndgets of papers filled with the
details Of events which will be read only
by the curious and men osleisure, but three
fourths Of the community win never know
anything of what occurs in Europe except
what the telegraph communicates. We have
been many days in possession Of the Prin-
cipal items of news that viii be contained
in the papers by next steamer; the peace
with China and the terms Of trcaty-the
movements of their majorities and the ac-
counts from India. The news she brings
will be stale when she arrives. A few years
ago when we were brought within nine or
ten days of Europe we felt that new epoch
had began; but to have transactions in Eu-
rope laid before us in day, or an hour is
a miracle that we can scarcely yet realize
Twenty years ago despatch from the moon
would have been deemed as practicable.
The Chamber of Commerce, in Cincin-
natl, are making arrangements to obtain
regular daily reports from London, TO be dis
patched at o'clock; and when the land
lines are in working order, the reports will
be sent through, it is supposed, in less than
four hours, the difference in apparent time
between London and Cincinnati, so that
they will reach the latter city at the same
hour in the business part Of the day that
they leave London, and in season to guide
the operations for the day here. 1t is con-
fdently expected that the merchants in all
The Western cities, when on change at 2
o'clock p. W., will have the quotations ol
the same hour, read and posted, even more
readily and certainly than they can now
have those of New York.
