THE AMERICAN ANrrsLAvERY SOCIETY.
This society originated in tho City Of Brotherly Love in
the year 1929 and broke up ntotwo separate anagon
tic factions in 1s40.

For seventeen wondrous years they lived in peace.
In 1s40 have said, the drst split occurred tho
more moderate members, under Lewis Tappan seeding
and forming new association under the title of the
"Amercan and Foreign Anti Slavery Society" The
proximate cause Of this secession was admitting females
the committees, bot the actual is to be found in
the hostility Of several members to Garrison and his
and out Mira opinions. This tho entering wedge,

A New SPECIES OF PRINTING TYPE.-A
type has been recently invented, called the
"Myra type, which promises TO have an
important influence upon the cost of print
ing, and instead OF soft lead and zinc type,
to give us types of steel, that will last for a
century, instead of a year. Type are now
cast by hand and by single letter at a
time; the most expert workman can't turn
out more than 5000 day, in the rough;
after which they are to be worked over by
other hands. BY the new process they are
cast in blocks or long strings of ten thou
sand letters at every stroke of the machine
each letter is then separated by mechani-
cal saw, which divides them with a mathe.
NAUTICAL regularity and precision which have
been unattainable by the old mode of cast
ing. The machine allows the use of 4
harder metal than ordinary type metal, and
the inventor announces his intention to pro.

BEs- The steam elevators adopted in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, for carrying
guests from the basement to the six differ
ent stories of the House, works to admir-
alton, and has proved itself an institution
that must come into general use to Indulge
modern Incidence" The only thing that has
preserved decent shaped calf to legs in
" easy circumstances, is the necessity OF
mounting flight of stairs several times a
day. Being released from this labor, "spin-
die shanks,s' will be more universal than
ever in fashionable society. The machinery
consists of steam elevators located in differ
ent parts of the building. The main one is
situated at the right of the main entrance,
opposite the office, and near the principal
staircase. 1t is constantly moving up and
down from the first to the sixth floor, max.
ing the upper suites of rooms as eligible to
families as those lower down. The platform
of the elevator is several feet square, with
seats for as many as may want TO use it al
one time. II is not suspended by lines, bu,
is geared to screw shaft which winds il
up, and prevents any danger Of falling. II
is pronounced very popular.

THE USE or PAPER IN JAPAN.-A cores
pendent of the Blackwood's Magazine says
1t is wonderful to see the thousand usefnl
and ornamental purposes to which paper was
applicable in the hands of these industrious
and tasteful people our papier-mache manu-
facturers, as well as the Continental ones,
should go to Yeddo to learn what can be done
with paper We saw il made into material
so closely resembling Russian Morocco leath-
er, and pig-skin, that it was very difficult to
detect the difference. With the aid of lacker
varnish and skilful painting, paper made ex-
cellent trunks, tobacco bags, cigar cases,
saddles, telescope cases, the frames of micro
scopes, and We even saw and used excellent
waterproof coats, made of simple paper
which did keep out the rain, and were as
supple as the best Mcintosh. The Japanese
use neither silk nor cotton handkerchief
towels or busters, paper in their hands serves
as an excellent substitute. 1t is SOFT thin,
though of pale yellow color, and very plen-
tiful and cheap. The inner walls of many a
japanese apartment are made Of paper, being
nothing more than printed screens; their
windows are covered with fine translucent
description of the same material; il enters
largely into the manufacture ofnearly every
thing in the Japanese household, and we
saw what seemed to be balls of Irvine which
were nothing but long shreds of tough paper
rolled up. If a shopkeeper had a parcel to
tie up he would take strip of paper, roll it
quickly between his hands, and use it for
the purpose, and it was quite as strong
az the ordinary string used at home
In short, without paper, all Japan would
come to a dead lock and, indeed, lest by
the arbitrary exercise of his authority, a
tyrannical husband should stop his wife's

The Canal.

The Terre IIaute Express gives the fol-
lowing information in regard 10 the progress
of the repairs of the Southern portion of the
Canal:
The Canal Association, which wasformed
last spring, to take the management Of the
! division from this place to -NewberIy, has
| been operating successfully. The main line
has been put in complete order from Worth
/ ington to this place. miles. Both the
navigable feeders eight miles--are also
! in good condition. The levels upon this
! part of the Canal are now full, the bars all
cleared out, the locks, bridges, and struc-
lures in fine order, all ready for the fall navi-
CATION. +--.-
There is considerable work to do in re-
pairing the breaks of the last Winter, be-
tween Worthington and Newberry, a distance
of sixteen miles. The Superintendent is
working upon this part of the Canal, with
moderate force, and expects to have il fully
repaired, so as to let in the water by the
25th inst. After the completion of the lat
ter portion, the only heavy work remaining
to be done, is the repairing of the feeder
dam at Eel river; this is a considerable job,
seven hundred dollars. This done, and the
portion below Worthington completed, the
middle division of the Canal will be in bet
ter order for navigation, perhaps, than it
has ever been. 9af r
The Southern Company expect to get
their repairs completed up to Newberry by
lst September; and from that date we may
expect Canal navigation to be resumed be-
tween this place and the Ohio. The Com
pany northward will also complete their re-
pairs to and at this place by the latter date.
The tolls upon the middle division have
been quite light, but are now increasing !;
and during the next three or four months,
will amount to considerable sum-per-
haps sufficient to meet the ordinary re-
pairs, sc.
The following summary of the receipts
and expenditures for the past four months

from Terre Haute to Newberry, is obtained

ing last, was owing to scarcity of water.
The fremen at one time had the flames COM

and their labors proved fruitless. Some Of

thing, damned up the cutters, drew small
supply from them and threw it on the

TIE STATE FAIR AT New ALBANY.-The
State Fair, held this year at New Albany,
from the 26th of September to the lst of
October, promises to be more brilliant and
attractive than any held at the State Capt.
tai. The citizens of New Albany are zeal
Gus and liberal in their exertions to render
the Fair n credit 10 their city. The rail-
roads have made the most generous offers
of their aid to promote the success of the
enterprise. Every facility possible will be
afforded to enable exhibitors and visitors to
reach the ground conveniently and cheaply.
With view to this end the New Albany
and Salem, and the indianapolis and Terre
Haute Railroad Companies are erecting a
switch and station house, at their crossing
near Greencastle, so that cars loaded any
place in the State may run through to New
Albany without change. The same ought
to be done at the intersection of the o. &
NJ. with the New Albany and Salem Rail-
roads. We hope New Albany City and
Floyd county will reflect honor upon the
Southern tier, and prove that "some things
can be done as well in the Southern rs in
the Middle and Northern sections of the
State. In a few years, we hope, for the
honor and profit of making a show for the
State, to exhibit what Ohio bottom lands
are capable of producing.
