AGREEABLE DELUsToS.-The Washington
Union says "we have an impression that the
Union is the very least partisan in character
of any political journal in the country, not
even excepting the New York Herald. We

and very little, indeed, by mere party inAu.

H- There are some things which strike
the minds of thinking people with good
deal of force. One of these things is, that
the government of any country should un-
de.take to build Custom House, costing
two oundred thousand dollars, Mt little out
of-the-way place, like Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, where the whole amount of
goods received into il, and paying duty, in
any one year does not amount TO the sum of
five thousand dollars. TO collect this sum
Of less than $4,000, tyenty-one employees
are kept constantly on hand, at cost of
about $4,000 annually. 1t is good thing
that the house is nearly completed.

A Cock IN HIGH LATITUDEs.-Th author
of Visit to the Arctic Regions relates the
following:
81 had observed for some days past, as we
proceeded north and the nights became short
er, that the cock we had shipped Mt Storna-
way, had become quite bewldered on the
subject Of the meteorological phenomena
called the dawn of day. In fact, doubt
whether he ever slept more than five minutes
at stretch without waking up in n state OF
nervous agitation lest it should be cock-crow.
At last, when night ceased altogether, his
constitution could no longer stand the shock.

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.-A few weeks

the first hour he walked six miles, and threw
n half cwt. over his head one hundred and

The BooMERANG.-Professor Lowering, of
Harvard University, read, on Thursday, pa
per before the American Association for the
advancement of Science, upon the boomer
ang, an Australian weapon, from thirty to
forty inches in length and two and half TO
three inches in width, tapering gradually
from the handle to the point, and in shape
resembling somewhat sickle. The Aus
tralian barbarian early acquires the art of
projecting it with terrible effect. He can
hurl it into the air to height of many feet,
giving il momentum and direction which
will cause il TO return to him again or he
can send it forward in any direction, straight
or oblique, and il is said quite round tree or
hill, and make ii, after the principal force
is spent, return to any place which he may
desire. Europeans are very awkward in
welding il not knowing how 10 fix lis di'
rection and return, they are extremely liable
to give it an impetus which will mpel it back
into their own faces. But the native, train
ed from early childhood TO its use, will hurl
it with an effect almost transceEding credi-
bity. The pupils at Eton School, in Eng
land, are said to have employed an instru-
ment for their exercises, constructed in n
similar form and upon much the same princi-
pie as the boomerang.-N y. Post.

HEALING THE WouNDs.-There can be little
doubt but that the Administration have ear
nestly set to work TO concilate Senator Doug
las and his friends. The appointment ol
Douglas as postmaster in Illinois is one of the
most striking evidences of the determination
of the President to win back the stray sheer
to the fold, and the Democratic organs are
bold in their commendations Of this concila
tory policy.
The Richmond Enquirer, moreover, ear
nestly suggests that the weaker wing ot the
marty. heretofore known as the "Administra-
ton" party be abandoned, and that the in,
Auence of the Administi alton be transferred
to the stronger faction-the supporters OF
Douglas. Whyl The latter is strong and,
as we have before intimated, have the bal.
ance of power in Their hands, hands wi VINO %OIla ,h;l

CLOCKS oNA New PRIEcIPLE.-A clock,
recently introduced in England, has pecu-
liar compensation glass pendulum, and bar
ometric contrivance to prevent ths error aris-
ing from the changes in the density Of the
atmosphere. The metallic compensation is
effected without any friction, by the ascent
and descent of two spring levers, with three
adjustable weights, and which lengthen or
shorten as they rise or fall. The mode OF
compensating is regulated by screw in the
top of the ball, which, in case of heat, is
moved towards the centre of motion of the
spring lever, or in the contrary direction in
case of cold. The glass rod is attached to
the pendulum spring by means of screw
cut on it, and below, glass regulating nut
works in glass screw, cut on the bottom OF
the pendulum rod.

BETTER NOT GET BEFORE Ilm.-Gov. Wise
made a speech at the dinner to the NewYork
Regiment on the 5lh of July, in Richmond.
1t was filed with demagogusm and ad cap
tandum hummmery TO degree that is quite
disgusting to one who looks coolly at the
eccentricites of political life. When the
man had concluded, the report says:
Mr.. VIM. +. Watson, of this city, arose
and said:-I want to know whether the gen
tleman is protectionist or q non n.proteciion-
ist. Are you not for protecting the South?
Gov. Wise-When the time comes to try
who will be loyal to the South, if it should
ever come, all ask of you and Others who
affect to doubt my loyalty, is not TO lag be-

to my side then; but in the mean time you

choked his uterance. Among other things
he sad:-'I unite my protest against and

FREEsoILER IN CLovER.-John Van Buren
the notorious Freesoier, is in clover. lie is
grazing In the green pastures of the Democ.
racy at Washington, and treated as deferen.
| TALLY, as if he had never broken the fence
and followed the wild herd of Buhaloes in
lS4s. The New York Tribune's Washington
correspondent writes:
John Van Buren looms up in these hot
parts with sort OF colossal grandeur. One
might suppose the whole Buffalo tribe of An.
no Domini lS4S was bodily transferred to the
possession of power, such is his majestic mien,
assured air and commanding control. Ali
the Departments open their innlost recesses to
his welcome presence. Secretaries are too
glad to see so national man. Assistant
Secretaries hail his coming with willing pro,
testations. Clerks are honored with touch
ing the hem of his garment, and papers vol
unfairly desert their musty files, seeking the
inquisition of his flashing orbs. In fact he is
cock OF the walk. Nobody dare crow, except
Dean Richmond in n corner. The immortal
John is lord of all he surveys, and has given
reluctant consent to become q candidate at
Charleston, if Mr.. Buchanan shall be out of
the way in order to accommodate our South
ern brethren. And, what is more than all
he really dned at the White House, which is
more than any of your Black Republicans
can say.
John is the returned prodigal son. His
Democratic father has taken him to his bos.

PLEASE NoTICE.-The Tuscumba Ala.
bamTnn has received the circular Of the
Huntsville Female College, with "please
notice" Upon looking through it, the edi-
i!or found nothing about it demanding at his
hands notice, so much as the fact that sev.
en- thousand copies had been printed in New
York, and full of errors at that, though
there were three printing offices in the city
where the college is located. Certes, South
ern papers that receive the Institutions cir.
cnlar ought to comply with the very mode
rate request, and give an appropriate "notice"
TO the Huntsville Female College, which
sends its paying patronageto to Northern print
ing Offices, and solicits gratuitous puffs from
Southern papers. .a

BLOODY AFFRAY IN FLoRIDA-We re-

following letter, yesterday, from an old sub
scribeE in Florida. Knowing the writer we'll
we are willing to endorse his statements, a
thing we did not dc in the case of the Tam
pa letter;
WAcAHooTs, MARION Co., FLA,
July l2, 1858. {
Mr.. Editor: guess your Tampa Bay al
fair was little iishy, but this is real life and
death scrape.
WacahOote is known rs the birthplace of
Gen. Billy Bowlegs, and it would seem that
some OF his successors are equally brave and
impetuous. There has, ii seems, been some
difficulty brewing between Lafayette Gay
and William Standby for some time, and they
appointed to meet at Wacahoote, last Fri.
day to settle it. Accordingly they met, at.
tended by ten or fifteen friends on either
side, probably most Of them armed for dead
y strife, Gay brought double barrel shot
gun. After some few words, blows ensued;
pistols were drawn; Gay caught up his gnn,
fired in quick succession at Mr.. James Glib
bOns and at William Gibbons, both friends
of Standby, and both fell dead. lie then
clubbed his gun, and struck such violent
blow at Standby, he severed the bieech,
locks and barrels upon him. STANDBY is yet
alive, bat there is little expectation of his sur
viving. Three were left as dead on the
ground within few feet of each other and
one of Gays brothers hobblng off, shot
through the leg. In the general melee Of
dirks, knives, pistols and sticks, II is won
der Others were not killed. A CITIZEN.
