AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES IN EGYPr.-On the
railroad between Alexandris Egypt and
Suez, recently finished, there are four locomo-
tives-two of them of English manufacture,
and the other two were built at the Taunton
Works, Massachusetts,. 1t seems that the
Pasha's ears are open to flattery, and the Eng
lish engineers, through their consul, used
every means to get rid of the American engi-
neers. They were told by the railroad COM
pany that the engines would not be used, snd
their services would not be needed. The ex-
cuse for hauling them up was that they were
not strong enough TO haul the heavy trains.
One of the American engineers, getting an op
portunity to speak with the Pasha told him he
would haul as many loaded cars would reach
from one end of the road to the other. Ac-
cordingly, seventy-fiye heavily loaded cars
(Which were all they could muster) were put
in train, the Pasha's own car attached, ard
the whole were taken through to Suez, dis
tance of two hundred miles, in twelve hours.
making stoppages for fuel and water. Tho
Pasha exclaimed, in Egyptian, God is great,
but Yankee is very near perfection" On
his return, he discharged the English engine
drivers, and now uses the Taunton engines
altogether.

KILLED WHILE RoBBING HIS OWN House.
The Milwaukee Sentinel gives the following =
We learn that Wednesday or Thursday
night last the Treasurer of the town of Erin,
Washington county, whose name we believe,
was Whaling, was shot dead while attempting
to rob his own house. 1t appears that he had
collected some twelve or fifteen hundred dol
lars of the town taxes, and LETT home in the
afternoon, telling his wife that he should be
gone all night. Toward evening travelling
peddler applied at the House for a nights
lodging. The wife at first refused to admit
him, but finally yielded, with much reluctance
to his request. Some time in the night the
peddler was awakened by the noise of men
breaking into his room. Taking them for rob-
bers, he drew pistol and fired at them. One
fell and two fed. Lights being procured, the
dead body of man, with blackened face and
otherwise disguised, was found upon the floor.
Upon further examination it proved to be the
proprietor of the house himself, who had re-
sorted to this stratagem to steal the tax money
collected, and had met with this terrible ret
ribution

Bones FOR TREEs.-Bones are always accu.
mulating in villages and about country resi-.
dences which might be put TO better use
than to cucumber the streets, or to emit
disagreeable odor from under the fences.
There is nothing like decaying bones for all
sorts of fruit trees They are perhaps best
for pear trees, next for apples, and then for
qninces; but are good for any kind of fruit,
unless it be cranberries, which seem to live
and grow on little but water. The true way
would be TO make the bones into superphos-
phate of lime by grinding, and then adding
half their weight Of sulphuric acid, to be ap-
piled in small doses every year. But as there
are not bone mills every where, and as the ma
king Of superphosphate is trade, which 1t
could hardly be recommended to all cultiva-
tors to learn, the next best thing to be done Is
TO break them up into inch pieces and mix
them with the soil in which trees are trans
planted. From half peck to a peck for
dwarf trees, and two to three pecks for trees
designed for standards, is enough. The &C
ton will be slow but very lasting, continuing
through the life of ordinary tree. Bones
are richly worth saving for this purpose; and
at the small price at which they can be had
in most country places, they can be bought to
advantage. They render a tree vigorous and
healthy, and greatly improve its fruit. 1t 10
not a bad plan to dig the soil about old trees.

SHARP, SHARPER, SHARPEsT.-They have a
sharp set of fellows in Kansas City. We
heard good story OF trick played by one of
the residents of that city short time ago.
A lean, lank, sallow faced individual rode a
mule into Kansas City and wanted to sell him.
A genius, standing by, offered to sell him for
five dollars. The offer was taken, and the
mule disposed of; the auctioneer warranting
good title. The purchaser had scarcely got
his mule home. when Shawnee Indian came
into the city in search of mule that had
been stolen from him. The auctioneer was
on hand again, and offered to show the Shaw
nee where the mule was, If he would plank
downaV. The Indian paid, and the auction
eer after pointing ont the mule. went to the
new purchaser, and told him how the case
stood, at the same time offering to run the
mule across the river for ten dollars. The
bargain was struck, and the auetioneer noun
ted the mule, and that was the last that has
been seen of the auctineer or the mule

ExPAssIoS.-Presiden Buchanan has an
nounced in a speech delivered at Washington,
IN response to a serenade given to him on the
occasion of the passage of the oregon Dill,
that 'sexpansion is in future the policy Of our
&c country and that only towards feared and op-
posed It," The expansion to vi hich our bold
and dashDg young President alludes, is not
expansion of the currency. to which, We pre-
sumo, he remains as much opposed as ever,
but an expansion of territory. Recent expe-
Yiencc might, however, raise the question
whether the one sort of expansion is not quite
as much the high road TO bankruptcy as tho
other. In what has the present enormous in
crease of our national expenses originated, IL
not in the policy of territorial expansion, set
on foot by the acquisition of Texas, and fol-
lowed up by the Mexican war, resulting In a
vast expansion of territory and attended by
an expansion of expenditure equally vast
Mr.. Vice President breckenridge, on tho
same occasion, though he modestly left to tho
President or the first officer of the Govern
ment the PRONUNCIATION of this doctrine Of I'M
limited expansion as the settled policy of the
country, did yet take occasion to declare him
self IN favor of the specific acquisition Of Cu-
ba. He SAYS he .would not rob for il - not,
however, it would seem, because he has any
scrupies of conscience on that score, but By
cause he seems TO apprehend that, TO use M.
Buchanan's expression, the nation is too COW
ardly to adopt yet that compeDdious meth
cd of operation. He gently hints that, in com
parison with the English, we sadly def
cient in national pluck. Mr.. Breckenridge
complains that We talk great deal, but do
very little. That, personally, he has no OBJ
jections, ssto rob for it, is plain enough from
the artful manner in which he endeavors, by
appeals to the national pride and by contrast
ing American with British promptitude, &c
stimulate the country to the robbery point.
The English, he tells us, don't talk they act.
1t the Island of Cuba, instead of being plac-
ed at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico, lay
at the opening of the British Channel, Eng
land would take it in ten days The impli-
cation plainly is that, if We wcre not pack
of towards, letting l dare not wait upon l
would, We should take Cuba in ten days.
As the Democratic party have placed their
founder Jefferson on the shelf. as a we'll mean
ing enough old gentleman, bat quite mistaken
in his political ideas, and as they utterly re-
pudiate the cardinal doctrine of the Declara-
tion OF Independence, We assume that hence
forth, on the occasion of Democratic celebra-
tons of the Fourth OF July, the reading of that
document will be dispensed with, and the Os-
tend Manifesto substituted in its place.-Trib.

Cease your whining. cease your fretting,
Cease your railing at your lot;
You've no time for useless dreaming;
These complainings profit not.
What If life is not all pleasure,
Eretting wont relieve the pain;
Noble souls have never leisure
At misfortune to complain.
Meet misfortune's dropping willows
As the sailor meets the storm
Just to ride upon its billows.
Till they bear him to his bOurn.
Catch the breeze, or you'll succeed not;
Life's for labor, not for sport:
Quiet seas thy way will speed not;
Calms wont bring thee into port.
If you would yourself be happy,
You must happiness impart
Bless your neightors all around you;
Twill return TO your own heart.
Let your sympathies flow outward
With the sorrowfnl condole:
Let your smile be like the sunshine,
Cheering every weary soul.
All that you may be desiring,
May not be within your power;
Yet what Il cd is now requiring,
Is. DO we'll the present hour.
Go and now relieve life's SORROW;
Let net Incidence prevail:
He who waits until tomorrow
To do good. will surely fail.
Let your aim be high and holy.
And your motives strong and true:
Life has pleasures for the lowly;
Life has something still TO do.
Idle hands are always weary;
Selfish nature know no joy;
Loving souls are ever cheery; .
Toiling spirits never cloy.
Onward, upward, mounting higher
On each wave-top, as it rolls:
Fill your hearts with manly fire;
Labor is for manly souls.
Fight God 5 battles, till your master
Bids you lay your arnor down:
lie has a reward prepared;
Bear the cross and wear the crown.

Amusing state of Uncertainty.

Never have we known greater interest mani
tested to ascertain the result of any race for
county official position, than that exhibited by
this community last week to learn the result of
the contest for the Tax Collectorship. All
through Thursday, Friday Saturday and until
an early hour of Sunday morning last, the re-
suit was in state of uncertainty, amusing to
outsiders, but painful to those more immediate
ly interested. At first Skillman was consider
ably ahead. Slowly but surely Alex Andrews
commenced gaining upon him, until it was "nip
and tuck" Thus the race continued for time,
"neck and neck" and both nags dreadfuly
"blown"-Spatz away in the distance, fiat of
his back, with the I" Rooster standing upon his
stomach with one eye on the contesting steads.
and with wings Tapping, but refusing to crow
until he could know of certainty that Skill
man reached the stake first Finally, on Sun
day morning, the Democratic bird bounced
about forty feet into the air, cut a plgeon-wing,
and then uttered crow that made the hills
ring again. The Democracy generally caught
the spirit of the Democratic game-cock, and the
were general and enthusiastic The Whisky
Creek boys hitched up team, and, with cham
pagne and anvil, repaired to the summit of the
Divide where they drank to the Democracy,
and awoke the sleeping echoes from their messy
caves, and made the mountains howl" They
then come to town, and during the remainder
OF the day made things generally howl.
On Tuesday evening last, when Mr.. Skllman
arrived from Fort Crook, number ofhis friends
thought it a fitting time to glorify little over
the success of the entire ticket. They accord
ingly made burnt Offering of two barrels off tar,
sundry boxes, &C., in honor of the event.
1t was piteous to hear the groans of the
traitors and renegades, which now and then
came out from lanes, half opened doors and
secret places, and mingled with the loud rejoic-
ings. Oh, the gnashng of teeth was fearful to
behold But the sorrows of our fellows should
be sacred. Therefore we draw the curtain, and
hide the sad sight from the curious eye of an
unfeeling world.
