The Teviathan

The steamship Asa brought out to this
country copies of prospectus from the Di-
rectors of the Eastern Steam Navigation
Company, announcing that, after mature de-
liberation, they have concluded to place
their monster ship, the Leviathan, on the
line between England and the United States.
An estimate is made of the earnings and ex-
penditures of the-ship for one year, allowing
her to make only seven voyages per annum.
The estimated receipts are 100000, and
the estimated expenditures flS5,O5O leaving
balance Of fl23,65O, or fl7,70O per voy-
age net profit. After considering the fore
going facts and estimates, the Directors have
determined to raise the sum of f220, 900, to
equip the ship for sea, by the issue of L 900
annuities to subscribers of EGO each. Sir
John Yates, Secretary of the Company, writes
the Mayor of Portland, that the steamship
will be fitted up and got ready to make her
first trip early next season.
DDN'T Loose His HAIR.-1he other day
in neighoring village says, the Mountain
Democrat chap somewhat famous for rela-
ting marvellous stories, commenced Dragging
about an extraordinary steamboat race that
he heard Of, recently, made on the waters of
the raging Farser river. Said he, "the boat
of which speak, was descending the river
and the current was so frightfully rapid that
she actually ran eighty miles inside of an
hour!" An astonished bystander remarked
that the thing was impossible, and that such
tremendous velocity would literally tear the
hair from mans head" 'No DANGER" was
the prompt response "the man at the wheel
was bald headed"

AN OprosIrIoN LIE.-We notice that a
correspondent writing from this place in last
Saturdays Sacramento Union, says there
has been caucus held in Auburn, of the
Administration party, in which they resolved
on what should be the test at the Primary

falsehoods to which the author fails to sign
his name, but which the Union, no doubt,

UoMIcIDE.-On Sunday last an affair oc-
Cured in this place that has since terminated
fatally to one of the parties concerned. 1t
appears, from the testimony elected at the
examination, that a man named John Maven
approached Mr.. J. Smith, against whom he
had an old grudge) with demonstrations of
violence. At the time, Mr.. Smith had a
pocket knife in his hand with which he was
whiting stick, and when Maven attempted
to clutch him by the throat and breast, S.
threw up his hands to ward himself, when
the knife entered Naven's breast and inf cted
a severe wound. Neither Smith nor Maven
were conscious that wound had been in.
fcted at the time. Smith Immediately got
out Of the wav but was followed some dis
tance by Maven, and several of his com
panons, who subsequently returned near to
the place of the first attack, when he fell
Upon dressing the wound, it was not con-
silered fatal but unfortunately it so resulted,
the wounded man dying on Thursday.
Mr. Smith was taken into custody and ex
amined before Justice Love, on Monday.
The evidence being conclusive that he acted
in sef-defense, he was discharged.
We should have stated in the above. that
when Maven commenced the attack several
of his friends stood by and never made the
slightest effort to check him, when they could
have done 50, and thus have prevented the
unfortunate occurrence.

Beware of imposition.

| Posters have been issued his week from
that hybrid political establishment, the Pla-
Ger Press announcing tie Irregular Demo
cratic delegates" to the County Convention,
and appointing place for voting. Let no
National Democrat be deceived by this dodge
of the enemy, concocted by the Black Re
publican Know Nothing editor of the Press
and the little satellites that revol,e around
him. The enemies of true Democracy are
playing a strong game to gain access to the
Convention, but they will be foiled in their
efforts. True Democrats are men who are
national, not sectional in their feelings, and
have sufficient grasp ofinelect to discern the
difference between mere sectional agitators
and those patriotic just men who are lovers
of the Union, and adhere to the principles
of the Kansas Nebraska act as the means of
its preservation.
The National Democrats of Auburn, the
supporters Of the wise and just policy of Mr..
Buchanan's administration, have presented
their ticket and will sustain it at the election
tonight.
The PLACE OF MEErING.-The Democrat
ic Primary Election this evening will be held
at Gibson's large stone building. Let every
Democrat attend and take part in the pro-
ceedings.

MISCELLANEOUS READING.
ORIGIN OF BRANDY.

Brandy began to be distilled in France
about the year 1913, but it WAS prepared on
ly as medicine, aud was considered as pos
sessing such marvellous Strengthening and
sanitary powers that the physicians named
it "tbe water Of life." Z can de rie,) a name
it still retains, though now rendered, by ex-
cessive potatioos, one Of life's most powerful
and prevalent destroyers. Raymond Lully.
disciple of Arnold de Villa Nova, consider
ed this admirable essence of wine to be an
emanation from the Divinity, and that it was
intended TO reaninste and prolong the life
of man. He even thought that this diseov-
cry indicated that the time bad arrived for
the consummstion of all things-tbe end Of
the world. Before the means OF determin-
ing the true quantity of alcohol in spirits
were known, the dealers were iD the habit
of employing very rude method of forming
notion of the strength. A given quantity
of the spirits was poured upon quantity OF
gunpowder in dish and set on fre If ct
the end of the combustion the gunpowder
continued dry enough it exploded. but II 1t
had been wetted by the water In the spirits.
the fame Of the alcohol went out without
setting the powder on FIRE. This was called
the proof. Splrlto WHICH kln0leu SuupON-
der were said to be above proof.
From the origin of the term proof" it is
obvious that its meaning must at Hrst have
been very indefinite. 1t could serve only to
point out those spirits which are TOO weak
to kindle gunpowder, but could not give any
information respecting the relative strength
of those spirits which we're above proof
Even the strength Of proof was not fixed, be-
cause it was influenced by the quantity of
spirits employed--a small quantity Of weak
er spirits might be msde to kindle gunpow-
der, while greater quantity of stronger
mil ght fail CLARK, in his hydrometer, which
was invented about 1870, ffed the strength
of proof spirits on the stem at the spec
flo gravity Of 0920 at the temperature of
60 degrees. This is the strength at which
proof spirit is fixed in Great Britain BY act
Parliament, and at this strength it is no
more than a mixture of 40 pounds of pure
alcohol with 81 pounds Of wster. Brandy,
rum, gin, and whiskey contain nearly simi-
lar propOrtions.-Scientyfc american.

A PORTRAIT OF THACKERAY

Mr.. W. NJ. Thsckersy and Edmund Yates
are or were both members Of the Gsrrick
Club 10 London. Mr. Yates, having thus
learned to know Mr.. Tbsckersy. wrote in
The Town Talk, q weekly paper Of London,
an article on that gentleman. which contained
the following description of bim:-
"Mr. Thakeray is 46 years old. though from
the silvery whiteness of bis hair be appears
somewhat older He is very tall, standing
upward of six feet two inches, and ss he walks
erect bis height makes him conspicuous in eve
~ assembly. His face is bloodless, and not
particularly expressive, but remarkable for
the fracture ofthe bridge Of the nose, the
result Of 40 accident in youth. lie wears
small gray wbisker, but otherwise is clean
shaven. No one meeting bin could fail to
recognize 10 him gentleman, bis bearing IL
cold and univitng, bis style Of conversation
either openly cynical. OF sfFsctedly good-ns-
tured and evolent; his bontonIe is forced,
bis wit biting. bis pride easily touched-but
bis appearance is invariably that OF the cool,
suace, well-bred gentleman, who whatever
may be ranking within, suffers no surface
display of his emotion" .r.
Mr.. Thackeray, learning who was the
author of this piece Of portraiture, wrote MIR.
Yates sharp letter, demanding al apology.
Mr. Yates said he was sorry, bot couldn't
apologize under such letter. Mr.. Thsoke-
ray appealed to the governing committeof the
club, among whom MIR. Dickens condemned
the course of Mr.. Thackeray. finally, how
ever, after On animated discussion, the c,m-
mittee voted to request Mr.. Yates to resigu.-
Whether he has done this is not reported.
