Air as n Means of Com
municatIng Power.

Messrs. Debain, Bottom and Zellier have
recently applied to the Perfect of the
Seine for permission 20 lay mains through
the streets of Paris for the introduction
and circulation of compressed air. "This
enterprise" as they say in their applica-
tion, "consists in the compression of air
to be led through the whole city by sys-
tenn of pipes similar to that used for the
distribution of gas, so furnishing means
of power and life wherever it may be
needed. 1t is well known that it requires
considerable time TO set up the ordinary
machines for obtaining power; whereas
we can introduce ours generally in half n
day, and in the most difficult cases in two
days, and when this is once done, the OPP
erative who uses it is perfect master of it.
He can run it by day or night, and can
begin and end work whenever he pleases
without interfering with his neighbor.
The amount of power furnished is meas
ured by q meter. He has no boiler to
heat, and loses none of the power which
is lost in the ordinary use of steam. In
a word, power is domcsticated.
"And this air is not confined in its use
to the moving of machinery. A simple
cock will replace the cumbrous bellows in
the smiths shops, and will furnish more
oxygen, the air being more compressed
than by the bellows, producing much
more intense combustion. Those trades
which require continuous or occasional
draught of air will always have il at hand.
at will also be Of great use in the &C.
onomical heating of buildings, as cur
rent of compressed air blowing the fire III
the furnace will produce perfect combus.
ton of tho fuel. The power which il
gives may be applied to elevating water
into the upper stories, and much Other
work.
"The health of the city will be improv.
cd by the diminution of smoke, which
will, in tho end, be entirely consumed
Hospitals, sewers, workshops, tenant
houses, and places of public assembly
may be ventilated 10y q current of com
pressed air more cheaply than in any 9th
er way.
"The price at which il will be furnish
ed to the public for use will place it with
in The reach of all.
"Therc is no danger to be apprehend
cd from it; even should the pressure bC
so great as $50 pounds per square inch
tubes can easily be made which will sus
tain it, and if tube should burst, the nj
streaming out would be no injury, excep
by its loss to us"

Speak Gently.
ny D. BATES.

Speak gcntly--it is better far
To rule by love, than fear;
Speak gently--lct no harsh words mar
The good we might do here.
Speak gently-love doth whisper low
The VOWS that true hearts bind;
And gently friendships accents flow
Affections voice is kind.
Speak gently to the little child!
Its love be sure TO gain;
Teach il in accents soft and mild
1t may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear
Pass through this life as best they may,
'Tis full Of anxious care.
Speak gently to the aged one,
Grieve not the carc-worn heart
The sands Of life are nearly run
Let such in peace depart.
Speak gently, kindly, to the poor;
Let no harsh word be heard;
They have enough they must eudure,
Without an unkind word.
Speak gently TO the crring, know
They must have toiled in vain;
Perchance unkindness made them so
Oh, win them back again
Speak gcntly-he who gave his life
To bend mans stubborn will,
When elements were in fierce strife,
Said to them "Peaco be still"
Speak gcntly-'tis little thing
Dropped in the hearts deep well;
The good, the joy, which il may bring,
Eternity shall tell.

CURE FOR FELoNs.--Boil in an iron
vessel of sufficient capacity (say four or
six quarts) enough of yellow dock root to
make strong liquor; when sufficiently
boiled, and while the liquor is as hot as
it can be borne by tho hand, cover the
kettle with flannel cloth to keep in the
heat, and in five minutes the pain will
cease. If it should return after time,
heat the same liquor and do as before
In cure performed in this way, the joints
of the fingers will be preserved. The
recipe has been abundantly verified here.

The African Slave Trade.

The New York Herald, in a historical review
of the African Slave Trade, states tnat the
profits realized since 1850 in the Cuban branch
of the business. which is now the main stay
of the trade, and Brazil, (where trade was put
an end TO in lS5i,) reach the sum of eleven mil
lions of dollars, allowing profit of 1866 on
each slave The total cost of Il vessel and out
At is estimated at SIS, 700; expenses on the coast
of Africa, (including cost of four hundred ne
rroes at $50 per head,) S2l 500; expenses of the
homeward passage, Si0,05Oi expenses after the
arrival of the vessel in Cuba, (including what
is called Identification Money''-which is no
doubt very gratifying, indeed, to the Captain
General-at S5l head,) So, 500 making the
total expenses of a cargo of four hundred,
from the laying the first stick of timber in the
vessel which brings them, to landing the last
negro and delivering him to the purchaser,
sa395O The negroes thus landed command
$500 q head making the total profits of cargo
si56.050, which is equal to about 1865 per
negro!
1t is obvious that while such temptations to
cupidity exist it will be difficult to arrest this
nefarious traffic. ii was never prosecuted
with as much activity in New York rs at pre-
sent. Next to the slave traders, the Governor
General of Cuba has the greatest interest in it.
Think of that excellent functionary receiving
nearly twenty thousand dollars qualification
money! on every cargo of four hundred Afr-
cans landed in Cuba and that without run
ming any risk of any kind! The Governor
Generalship of Cuba is the snuggest berth at
the disposal of the Spanish government. and
is naturally much sought after.

- Rack Diamonds,

We are indebted to the author, EDWARD A
POLLARD, Esq, of Virginia, for his new pub
LEGATION, "Black Diamonds Gathered in the
Darkey Homes of the South" The writer has
prepared the work for publication from col
lection of hasty and unstudied letters, on the
subject of slave life in the South, which he
originally addressed to DAVID NJ. CLARKsoN,
Esq, of New York. The journals of the
country, from New York to New Orleans, have
spoken in terms of high praise of this admira-
BILE production, the best of the kind that has
yet appeared. Mr. POLLARD has most accu-
rate knowledge of negro character, and his
portraits are no caricatures, but life-like in
every feature. The hook is peryaded by q
genial humanity towards the negro race, and
is well calculated to make all candid men in
the North think charitably Of the institution
Of slavery.
