a Senator. 1t was the rawlings of a drayman

In the midst of this gust of passion, the fire
eater might be seen shaking his clenched list
and curly locks at the New York Senator, who
was leaning against the doorway OF the cloak

cycling Toombs. 1t was tableau indeed.

Seward is bound to lead off the Republican
forces in 1860. His Rochester speech, planned
by the ndomitable, fearless, and adroit Thur

position to the Democracy are to stand in the
Presidential contest that will soon take place.
Bonks may kick and plunge as much as he
peases. Fessenden may Turk along the out
posts of the army, waiting for a chance in the
camp. The decree has gone forth, and with
Salmon 7. Chase in Ohio and Simeon Gamer

forces, all the Bankses, and Fessendens, and

the Mechanics Association; but we do not

ANTI-SLAvERY LECTURE.-Rev. Gero w.
Bassett, pastor of Congregational church in
Washington, ID. c., delivered an excellent and
thorough going anti-slavery lecture, at Wash
burn Hall, last evening, from Prov. xxi; 10:
"Whoso stoppeth his ears to the cry of the
poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not
be heard" The four million American slaves
were declared to be peculiarly Gods poor in
this country, and the duty of churches and
ministers in reference thereto, was set forth in
strong and truthful language. Want of space
prevents our giving at this time an abstract of
this truly excellent discourse. Mr.. Cheever, of
Jewett City, Conn, introduced the speaker to
the audience.

MYSTERIOUS DrsAprpARANcp OF MONEY

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF MONEY
A package of money directed to the Treasurer
of the Hudson River Railroad Company, de-
posted in place in the car in which all valu-
ables are kept, disappeared mysteriously on
Saturday, during the brief absence Of the per-
son having it in charge. Only one person was
seen to go to the place during the absence of
the agent, and he was the United States super
intendent of the mails. He was pursued and
searceed before he reached the Post Office, but
nothing was found upon him. He gave as
reason for going to the rack that he went there
to deposite his way-bil, as he has been in the
habit of doing. This is not the first time that
money packages have been stolen from that
road, and although sharp look out has been
kept the thief has thus far escaped detection.

VERIFYING Coal WEIGHT BY CUBIc
Philadelphia papers give the fol-
lowing rule to verify the weight of coal
"Coal put into bins and leveled, can be
measured from one to one thousand tons, with
as much accuracy as it can be weighed on
scales. For instance, Lehigh white-ash coal,
per ton, of 1000 pounds, of the egg or stove
size, will uniformly measure 344 feet cubical,
while white-ash Schuylkill coal will measure
35, and the pink, grey, and red-ash will reach
36 cubic feet per ton of 1000 pounds, or 40 feet
for 22i6 pounds, the difference of cubical con
tents between net and gross tun being exact
ly four feet. The length, breadth, and height
Of the bin, multiplied together, and divided by
the aforenamed contents Of a bin, tire quotent
must show the number Of tons therein"

STEREosCoPIC PICTURES FROM Flat SUR
FACEs.-There have recently been exhibited
some productions of an invention which opens
upon an entirely new field for stereoscopic pic
lures, by rendering views taken from paint
ings or engravings as solid and apparently real
as if they had been photographed from the
subjects which the paintings represent. Till
now no stereographic cards of engravings have
been made for the simple reason that they
would not have had any more relief than the
engravings themselves, and would have quite
wanted the charm of apparent reality which
renders the stereoscope so popular. If the in
vention can be applied to any painting or
view on fiat surface, as is claimed, there
will be produced, in the course of time,
stereographs of many OF the most remarka-
BILE pictures, which will thus have a charm
added to them never anticipated by their pro-
ducers. Stereographs Of subjects quite be-
You'd the range of ordinary photography will
by this means be rendered possible. No exer-
ton could gather together characters with the
requisite expression and with the adjuncts of
suitable scenery, such as are found in even an
ordinary painting, and retain them still until
they were fixed by the camera. If this in
vention becomes recognized and employed it
will no doubt exercise great influence on art
lists, for imperfections in perspective or draw
ing, are rendered painfully apparent in the
steresocope and the author of paintings of
merit, likely to come under the stereoscope,
will feel this.

ENGINEERING LEvEL.-A new leveling ap-
paratus has been invented, consisting Of hol-
low brass cylindrical tube with small hole at
one end, and at the other large orifce. A
glass spirit level is placed above the tube,
slit being made in the taller of sufficient size
to allow the light from above to pass into it,
to an extent equal to the dimensions of the air
bubble. To the front of the slit is placed the
reflector, which is a diaphragm to the upper
half of the tube, and the light being admitted
through the slit, is of course reflected by the
mirror in such manner that the observer can
instantly perceive the bubble when it makes
Its appearance on the diaphragm. The instru-
ment is then level, and the horizontal level can
be instantly ascertained. To the practced OPP
orator the whole affair does not occupy, ac-
cording to this method, more than quarter of
a minute

DISTANCES OF THE PLANETs.-The dis
tances of the planets are ascertained by means
of Kepler's discovery and observations taken
during the transits Of Venus over the suns
disc. Keplers discovery was that the squares
Of the periodical times of the planets are as
the cubes of their mean distances from the
sun; that is to say, if the numbers expressing
the times of going round be multiplied each
by itself, the products will be to one another in
the proportion Of the average distances multi
piled each by ITSELF and that product again by
the distance Thus, if one body takes two
hours, and is five yards distant, the other, be-
ing ten yards distant, will take something less
than five hours, forty minutes. Knowing,
therefore, the distance of one planet it is easy
to find out the distances of all the rest, because
the squares of the periodical times of the plan
cts are as the cubes Of their mean distances
from the sun.

Ice IN RED Hot METAL.-The most
wonderful fact connected with ice making is
the ingenious experiment by which water is

most important fact it is for all connected with
steam producing, that will assume in such

will be preserved between it and the glowing

of great heat in all cass-whatever.

IMPORTANT ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS.
The Detroit Observatory, under Professor
Brannow, has for some time past been engag-
ed in careful observation of asteroids and
comets. The annually increasing number of
newly discovered planets has made a division
of labor among the different observatories alb
solutely necessary and as most of the princi-
pal observatories have pledged themselves to
observe regularly a certain number of these
asteroids the Detroit Observatory of the
University of Michigan has undertaken the
observation Of eight of them, namely--As-
trea, Flora, Hebe, Victoria, Metis, Calliope,
Euphroysne and Prosperina. 1t is also the in
tention to advance, rs much as possible the
theory of these planets, and tables Of Flora
and Victoria have already been finished, by
which their place for many years to come may
