ANOTHER NEW STEAMER.--A gentle
man of Boston, who is a practical ma
chinist, is constructing steamer upon
novel plan by which he proposes to attain
a speed of thirty or thirty-fiye miles the
hour. lie has made experiments with n
model on n small scale, which were very
successful, aud he is now building one
sixty feet in length to further test the
practicability and value of the invention.
He relies upon both air and water TO OBJ
tain his propelling force. With machine
ry in the stern of the vessel, upon the pro-
pelling principle, he proposes to obtain a
speed of twelve miles an hour, which, he
says, is the highest rate that can be real
lied from that agency. In the bow OF
the vessel, and worked by the same en-
gines, he places an apparatus something
like the wings of a Windmill, which is to
make five hundred and sixty revolutions a
minute, and, by its action upon the at
mosphere, will pull the vessel along, he
calculates, at speed much greater than
has heretofore been attained.

DISCOVERY OF A MYSTERIOUS VAULT
JACKSON, O., Feb. 81.

JACKSON, ", Feb. Il.
Our village is full of wonder and ex
element. Martin Marker, J.W. Hughes
and Washington Long, in digging a grave
in the cemetery near this village, about
ten o'clock this morning, came TO large
fiat stone about four feet below the sur.
face, which stopped their further progress,
until they procured assistance and remoy-
ed the stone from its resting place of
ages, when il was found to have closed
the entrance to a subterranean vault
All efforts thus far g p. NJ to enter it
with light have proved unsuccessful, on
account Of the foul air with which it is
filled. By means of n rake, human bones
of a gigantic size have been raised, and a
small cham of silver, with coins attached
TO each end. The coins, though much
defaced by time, have the appearance of
those used among the Romans in the
days of Scipio Africanus, though there
were evident traces of hieroglyphic devil
ces that cannot be deciphered.
The men at the cemetery have by
means Of burning straw, made light in
the vault, and, though none have the
courage TO enter further than the entrance,
it has been discovered that there is, i'm
mediately to the west of the opening,
chamber of about ten feet square, with
steps quite dilapidated down its eastern
side. Three other chambers branch out
Of this; one to the north, one to the south,
aud the other TO the west.
We are all curious, of course, to know
when and by whom these vaults were
made and filed. Rev. Mr.. Hunter, and
Mr. Armstrong, and Dr. Knouf have ex-
amined them as well as they could with
out going down into them, also the bones
raked out, and the chain and coins, and
all give it as their opinion that these
vaults were made by tho same people
who built mounds in the southern part
rl9se rS questions present themselves 20
NfSi 15fsiis.r zt-l- lu-a- = !, |
filed theml Was our country once the
home of giants!
P.S. w. Long, after the straw had
bnrnt in the first vault for some time,
ventured down to make an examination,
but the atmosphere was so impure that
he could remain there but a few minutes,
though long enough to discover that the
walls of the vaults were substantially
built of smooth, well-shaped stones, and
that there were large numbers of bones
in them. Persons will arrive here from
Sidney and Greenyille tomorrow, and
every exertion will be made for thor
ough examination of this house of the
dead" as soon as possible.

BIG BRINDLE.

In Nashville, many years ago, there re-
sided gentleman of great hospitality,
large fortune, and, though uneducated,
possessed of hard knot sense. Colonel
w. had been elected 10 the legislature,
and had also been Judge of the county
court. His elevation, however, had made
him somewhat pompous, and he became
very fond Of using big words. On his
farm he had large, mischievous OK,
called big Brindle," which ,freapentlH-
mitted other depredations, much to the
Coloners annoyance. One morning, af-
ter breakfast, in presence Of some gentle
men who had staid with him over the
night, and who were now on their way
to town, he called his overseer and said
TO him:
"Mr Allen, desire you to impound
"Big Brindle" in order that | may hear
no more animadversions Of his eternal
depredations."
Allen bowed and walked of sorely
puzzled to know what the Colonel meant.
So, after Colonel w. left for town, he
went to his wife and asked her what Col.
w. meant by telling him to " impound"
tho OK.
"Why," said she, {" The Colonel means
to tell you to put him in a pon."
Allen left to perform the feat, for it
was no inconsiderable one, as the animal
was very wild and viscious, and after a
great deal of trouble and yexation, he
succeeded.
Well" said he, wiping the perspra-
ton from his brow and soliloquizing,
!" this is impounding, is itl Now, I'm
dead sure the old Colonel will ask me if
| have impounded Big Brindle, and I'll
bet III puzzle him as bad as he did me"
The next day the Colonel gave a din
ner party, ard as he was not aristocratic,
Allen, the oyerseer, sat down with the
company. After the second or third
glass was discussed, the Colonel turned
to the oyerseer and said:
"Eh, Mr.. Allen, did you impound Big
Brindle, sir"
Allen straightencd himself, and looked
around the company, said
"Yes, did, but old Brindle transcend
cd the impanel of the impound and scat
terlophisticated all over the equanimty
of the forest"
The company burst into an immoder.
ate fit of laughter, while the Colonel;
face REDEEMED with discontinue.
"What do You mean by that, sir 7
said he.
"Why, mean, Colonel said Allen
/" that old Brindle, being prognosticatec
with IN idea Of tho cholcry, ripped anc
tarod, snorted and paved dirt, jumped
the fence, tuck TO the woods, and woul,
not be impoundcd no how"
This was too much; the compan.
} roarcd again, in which tho Colonel wa
forced to join, and in the midst Of Oh
laughter, Allen left the table, sayin
TO himself rs he went, al reckon tn
/, Colonel won't ask me me 10 impound an
more oxen"

TRIAL TRIP OF THE STEAM ICE BOAT


The Lacrosse (Wis.l Republican no
tices the experimental trip Of the newly
invented ice boat, aud her arrival at that
place on the 22nd ult. 1t is pronounced
a great success. A description of this
singular craft has already been given
The Republican SAYS
"Her running time from Prairie du
Chen was four days, being heavily load
ed with freight, DC, for northwestern
points. After remaining at the levoo
thirty minutes, she made break for up
river, and, as she left, it reminded us Of
n microscopic view we once had Of huge
land-turtle. Three loud cheers were Civ
en- by the multitude as she departed, and
all seemed highly pleased, except the agent
of Burbank's Express, who Immediately
dispatched an extra for St. Paul, declar-
ing he'd beat that ice boat, or Jump in
to the riyerP At Dresbach City, tho
boat was ahead; but, between there and
Wnoua, tho gap was gradually closed by
the gaining of the wagon. When last
heard from, the contestants were going in
hip and thigh, nip ard nip, n little this
side Of Red Wing, and tho chances were
considered leetle in favor of the boat.
Much money will change hands, as largo
sums are said TO have been bet on the re-
suit"

MY MOTHER.

Thou art growing old, my mother,
And thy brow is marked with care,
All furrowod is thine aged check,
Once beautiful and fair.
Thy soft brown locks are sadly changed,
Chill frosts have settled there,
And touched with many freezing kiss,
Thy gentle flowing hair.
Thou art growing old, my mother,
As l catch the half drawn sigh,
Well / know that tears of sorrow
Have bedimmed thy melting eye.
But with gentle light it beameth,
Beameth on me even yet,
With love that never changcth
Till the sun Of life is set.
Thou art growing old, my mother,
Many Of our household band
Have before thee, journeyed onward,
To a far of "better land?"
But thy voice in tender accents.
Still is falling on my eur,
Sweetly Frightening my pathway,
Which, without thee, were so drear
Thou art growing old, my mother,
And around thy youngest born,
Shadows gather-darkly gather
Even in life's early morn.
But the blrssed Savior spareth
Thee, still to protect thy child,
While the storms Of sorrow hover,
Hover DER me dark and wild.
Thou art growing old my mother,
Soon feel that thou wilt rest
Ia the 4" land Of the hereafter"
In the regions Of the blest.
Who will love me, then, my mother,
When the last life-cord is riyen2
Let us pray that both together,
God will take us safe to Heaven.

QUEEN VICTORIA FADING.--An Amer
lean letter-writer, who got peep at her
Royal Highness on tho recent opening of
Parliament, says her face is getting TO look
somewhat unqueenly, end rather rhoumat-
ic. Her eyes are no longer the soft blue,
(says the writer) her chocks no longer the
plump fair, her lips no longer the royal
ruby, and her nose no longer the Sax-Ro-
mano, we were accustomed toregard them.
And her voice is certainly by no means
the happy, ringing thing for which cour-
tiers sounded fame. When she COM
manded the respectfully standing throng
within that superb chamber to resume
their seats, could see her little more
full length, and verify the grandmother
is where the girl was.

BARLEY FROM CAuFoRNIA.-A gen
tleman of this city has advices from Cal
ifornia that two hundred thousand bush
els of barley are now on the way from
San Francisco to New York. This bar
ley is the product of California, and was
purchased at the place of shipment at
about one cent per pound. Ayoung man
who went out from this city some years
since, and who has gathered somo gold in
California, invested $4,000 in barley,
finding nothing which promised a safer
Investment. The expectation Of grain
from California to the atlantic States in
1858 is something not dreamed of in the
visions of our people ten years since.

WHAT GREAT HEART DID.

saw Great Heart one day in II rail.
way train. He was well dressed and APP
peored to be reading, through his specta-
cles the morning paper. A poor woman
sat opposite with six children, the eldest
scarcely dozen years old. The hus-
band was a stupid hard hearted wretch
and administered blows unsparingly to
wearied little thing who showed his dis
comfort by fretting as the hot dusty air
swept over his face. The mothers coun-
tenance wore look of patient despair and
continual anxiety as the lite restless COM
pany sat crowded together in the loaded
ear. Not one Of them looked shabby or
untidy, though very plainly dressed L.
When the engine stopped for fuel the poor
woman took out from a basket some
bread and cheese, which she distributed
sparingly among the little group. Great
Heart had watched their movements all
the morning, and, as boy approached
the carriage with basket of berries, he
bought up boxes enough TO go round, and
gave them TO the hungry children, whose
eyes glistened as they saw such a rare
desert spread before them. One little
girl, perhaps five years old, was nearly
sick, and tried TO rest in her mothers lap;
but the tired infant disputed vigorously |
her rights, and she was obliged to yield |
the claim. Great Heart had been grave
ly considering the company, and he did
not hesitate TO take the poor child ten |
derly in his arms, lay her head in his lap
and then fan her with his paper, until she
sank into n peaceful slumber When we
stopped for our dinner, we saw them all
seated by bountiful table, loaded with
luxuries, TO which they seemed total
strangers, yet which they knew very well
how TO appreciate. We knew il was
Great Hearts and we mentally blessed
the kind, gentle nature that had thus shed
on the hard pathway of the
humble strangers.
