SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
Volume Fourteen begins September IA, 1858.

MECHANICS, INVENTORS, MANUFACTURERS, AND
FARMERS.
The SoIENEIFIo AMERICAN has reached its
fourteenth year, and will enter upon a new Vol
ume on the lth of September. 1t is the only
weekly publication of the kind now issued in
this country and it has very extensive circula-
ton in all the States of the Union. 1t is not, as
some might suppose from its title, a dry abstruse
work on technical science; on the contrary, it
so deals with the great events going on in the
scientific, mechanical and industrial worlds, as
to please and instruct every one. If the Me-
chanic or Artisan wishes to know the best ma
chine IN use, or how to make any substance en-
pioyed in his business-if the Housewife wishes
to get recipe for making good color, &c.,
II the Inventor wishes to know what is going on
IN the way of improyements-if the Manufac-
turer wishes to keep posted with the times, and
70 employ the best facilities in his business-if
tne Man OF Leisure and Study wishes to keep
hinsei familiar with the progress made in the
chemical laboratory, or in the construction of
telegraphs, steamships, railroads. reaners. NOW
ers, and thousand other machines and appli-
ahces, both OF peace and war-all these qesf9er-
etd can be found in the SCIENTIFIC AwERrcax
ana not etselvhere. They are here presented in 4
rehaoie and interesting form, adapted To the
comprehension of minds unlearned in the bigber
branches of science and art.

sour Daughters Leave U.s.

Longfellow's pen-picture of the oyer-preva
lent and natural inclination of the fair flower
to leave father and mother, and cleave unto
husband, is beautiful and truthful:
"Thus it is our daughters leave us,
Those we love, and those who love usl
Just when they have learned to help us,
Comes youth with Haunting feathers,
With his flute of reeds, a stranger
Wanders piping through the village,
Beckons to the fairest maiden,
And she follows where he leads her,
Leaving all things for the stranger p

ANlNsTANCE OF REMARKABLE GOODNESS
Knickerbocker Magazine picks up a good many
good things. In the December number we find
a story which runs thus Judge B., of New Ha-
ven, is a talented lawyer and great wag. lie
has son, Sam, graceless wight, witty, and,
like his father fond of mint julips and other
palatable q fluids" The father and son were on
a visit to Niagara Falls. Each was anxious to
I" take nip" but Zone for example, and the
other in dread of hurting the old mans ieelings)
equally unwilling to drink in presence of the
other. SAM" said the Judge, !" I'll take a
short walk-be back shortly" "All right" re-
piled Sam, and after seeing the old gentleman
safely round the corner, he walked out quickly,
and ordered Il julep at a bar-room. While, an
concocto, the Judge entered, and (Sam just then
being back of a newspaper, and consequently
viewing, though viewles) ordered julep. The
second was compounded, and the Judge was
just adjusting his tube for cooling draught,
when Sam stepped up, and taking up his glass,
requested the bar tender to take his pay for
both juleps from the bill the old gentleman had
handed out to himl The surprise of the Judge
was only equalled by his admiration for his
sons coolness; and he exclaimed, " Sam Sam
you need no julep to cool YOU" Sam al
lowed" that he didn't.

Hospitality is a good deal a
matter of latitude, | suspect. The shade of a
palm-tree serves an African for hat; his dwell
ling is all door and no walls everybody can
come in To take a morning call on an Esqui-
maux acquaintance, one must creep through q
long tunnel his house is all wall and no door,
except such one an apple with worm hole
has. One might, very probably, trace regular
graduation between these two extremes. In cities
where the evenings are generally hot, the peo-
pie have porches at their doors, where they sit,
and this is, of course, provocative to the in
terchange of ciyilities. good deal, which in
colder climes is ascrbed to mean dispositions,
belongs really to mean tempcrature.-The 4ato-

most extraordinary concoction of the age.
A case Of bodily pam, Ague, Debility and Dys-
Pepsja cured:l
Mr.. John B. Flemming, a Merchant Tailor of
0phir, in this State, certfes, Sept 81, 1854,
that two bottles of DR.. Webber's Cordial cured
Mr.. j. G. Ewens, of the same place, of pains in
the body, dyspepsia, chill and hacking cough,
together with general debility, neuralgia and
rheumatic pains.
Dr. James Bonnaut certifes to the cure of a
ptiable case of decayed manhood (where the
strength, nerves, memory and the whole phys
ique was prostrated) by its use.
Mr. James Freeman, of Mokelumne Hill, SAYS:
"Myfeelingwas an exhaution, a want of strength,
a torpor, want of ygor, appetite and other
miserable feelings. One battle of your Cordial
relieved, and three have entirely cured me-"

withstanding that most persons are sensitive

VICTIM TO HIS PRoFEssIoS.-Mrs. Snow, who
belongs to that long-snifering but most estima-
BILE class, editors wives, gives vent to some of
her troubles in this wise:
Mr. Snow knows the name of every paper
published IN the United States aud England, but
he can't for the life of him tell the names of his
children. He knows just the age of every Amer
lean Journal but he does not know the age of
his own babies. He knows how every contrib
utor looks, but don't believe he can tell wheth-
er my eyes are black or blue.
The world says bIr. Snow is getting rich
All know is, he gives me money to clothe and
feed our boys, and that, teo, without complaint
of poverty. | hope the world is right in opin-
ion and when | am fully satisfied that it is, |
shall advise him to resign his editorial honors,
and spend few months in becoming acquaint-
ed with his wife and children. The little ones
win feel much listtered in making the acquaint-
ance Of SO literary gentleman.

London Times.

Mr.. Emerson, in his English Traits" thus
speaks of the London Times:
The most conspicuous result of this talent is
the Times Newspaper. No power in England is
more felt, more heard, or more obeyed. What
you read in the morning in that journal you
shall hear in the evening in all society 1t has
everywhere, and its information is earliest
completest and surest. 1t has risen year by
year, and victory by victory, to its present au-
thority. asked one of its oldest contributors
whether it had once been abler than now p
" Never !" he said, ''these its palmiest days"
1t has shown those qualities that are dear to
Englishmen, unfiinching adherence to its OBJ
jects, prodical intellectual ability and a tower
ing assurance, backed by the perfect organiza-
tion of its printing house, and its worldwide
network of correspondence and reports. 1t has
its own history and famous trophies. In 1920
it adopted the cause of Queen Caroline, and car
ried it against the king. 1t adopted a poor
law system, and almost alone lifted it through
When Lord Brougham was in power, it decided
against him and pulled him down. 1t declared
war against Ireland and conquered it. 1t adopt
ed the league against the corn laws, and when
Golden had begun to despair it announced his
triumph. 1t denounced and discredited the
French republic of 1913, and checked every
sympathy with it in England, until it had en-
rolled 100000 special constables to watch the
Chartists and make them ridiculous on the 9th
of April. 1t first denounced and then adopted
the new French empire, and urged the French
alliance and its results. 1t has entered into
each municipal literary and social question, al
most with controlling voice 1t has done bold
and seasonable service in exposing frauds which
threatened the commercial community. Mean
time it attacks its rivals by perfecting its print
ing machinery, and will drive them out of circu-
lation; for the only limit to the circulation of

fast enough; since daily paper can only be new
and seasonable for few hours. 1t will kill all
