BURNING FLuID.-Very few people have
an idea of the immense quantity of burning
fluid and camphene consumed in the Uni

former is estimated by competent persons
at $4,000, 900 gallons, OF the latter at g.
100000 gallons. The total value Of these
amounts is $l3,000,00O.

0REGoN LEGIsLATURE-The first legisla-
tive assembly Of the State of Oregon met
at Salem on Monday week last, and organ
lied by the election of the Hon. LUTHER
ELKISs, Of Linn county, as president of the
Senate, and BENJAMIN HARDING speaker of
the House; 7. McF. PA1roN chief clerk,
and II. W. ALLEN assistant. ]. r. TIcHE-
NOR was elected enrolled clerk, W. LEVER.
AGE sergeant-at-arms, and HENRY BRowx
door-keeper.
'In the Senate" says correspondent of
the Portland AdrOcatc, '..there has been
much trouble in effecting an organization;
finally, Hon. Luther Elkins, of Linn coun-
ty, was elected president, not however, till
six Of the Senators ("Breckinridge men, ")
withdrew, and left town, They have not
yet returned. The last that was heard Of
them was that they we're at Albany in o
carriage going south. This leaves the
Senate without quorum, and will prevent
all legislation if they do not return, which
is very doubtful. There are many hopes
and fears as to the future. 1t is said that
those Senators left for fcit there would b,
a fusion between the Republicans and somt
Of the Douglass men, to elect Col, Nesmitl
and Col. Baker o. S. Senators. The towr
} is full Of distinguished men from all part
Of the State, and there are a number o
candidates for the Senate, but none appeal
to have much strength, excepting Williams
Nesmith, Reed and Baker"

AIR AS A Motive PowER.-Applica-
tion has been made to the authorities of
the city of Paris for permission to estab-
lish a system of pipes, similar to those
used in the distribution of gas or water,
for the introduction and circulation of COM
pressed air, to be used as motive power
where required throughout the city. 1t is
stated that the air thus furnished from the
pneumatic reservoirs, without the walls,
will be under the control of the operative,
being turned on or shut off at will, like gas,
a metre indicating the amount used by
each person; that it will not only move
machinery, but may be economically ap-
piled 10 ventilation, warming dwellings,
and eleyating water, with simple turn
cock may replace the cumbrous bellows
used by smiths. 1t is asserted that the
nse of air in this manner is entirely devoid
of danger, since even should pipe burst,
the escaping air can be injurious to the
company only by its loss.

The "FLorD" GUN.-The monster gun
cast at the Fort Pitt Iron Works, some
time ago, and description of which has
appeared in our columns, has been compile
ted, and is now being removed to the Lib
erty street depot of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, preparatory to its transportation
to Fort Monroe, where it has been decided
to test it. Some idea of its size may be
gathered from the fact that it weighs near
ly fifty thousand pounds. The bore is Is
inches in diameter, and about IA feet long
tits large enough to hold sixteen bushels,
and will admit of stout shouldered man
entering it and passing down to the bot
tom. 1t is, We believe, the largest
piece Of cannon in the world, and it
was cast on an entirely new principle, the
result of the experiments about being
made with it, will be looked for with
some anxiety.-Pittsburg Chron.

Hamburg Swans,

The city of Hamburg lately presented
the city of New York with twelve swans
for the Central Park pond. A man was
sent over with them to instruct as to their
food, DC. The swans have been the cob
served of all observers" at the Park, and
have made gluttons of themselves through
the kindness of visitors who have fed them
with everything imaginable. AS natural
consequence, eight Of Che swans "gave a
convulsive jerk, threw their heads on their
backs and thus died sitting in the water"
So the New York Post describes their
taking off.
Among other articles of food thrown
the birds have been pretzels, heavy com
ponent part of which is salt-and salt is
sure to kill poultry, as every farmer knows.
This may account for their deaths.
We suppose if the swans could drink
''lager" the pretzels would be harmless
We hear nothing of the dying notes of
these swans. Perhaps they died and gave
no note, which was very prudent consider
ing the tight times.

Duel Rerween Abe Lincoln and
Cen. shields.

The Chicago Press and Tribune re-
lates the following anecdote of Abe Lin
coin and Gen. Shields.
A great deal of fun was had BY the
iokers in Springfield, about an affair which
a long time ago, our good friend Lincoln,
the candidate for President was engaged.
A young lady of that city, now the wife
of q distinguished statesman, wrote a para
graph in a burlesque vein for the Sanga-
canon Journal, in which General Shields
was good humoredly ridiculed for bis con-
nection with some public measures. The
General was greatly incensed and deman-
ded of the editor the name of the offend
ing party.
"Old Sim" put him off with request
for twenty-five hours 10 consider the mat
ter, and shortly afterwards meeting Lin
coin told him his perplexity. "Tell him l
wrote it" said Lincoln; and tell him he did.
After deal of diplomacy to get the re-
traction Of the offensive parts of the par
agraph in question, Shields sent chal-
lenge which Lincoln accepted, named
broad-swerds as the weapon, and an un-
frequented, well wooded islaud in the Miss
issippi just below Alton, as the place.
"Old Abe" was first on the ground, and
when Shields arrived be found his antag-
onist with sword in one hand and a hatch
ct in the other, with his coat off, clearing
away the underbrush. Before the pre-
liminary arrangements were completed,
John J. Hardin, who, somehow, had got
wind Of what was afoat, appeared on the
scene, called them both id fools, and
by his arguments, addressed TO their COM
mon sense; and by bis ridicule of tha fig
ures that they, two well grown, bearded
men, were making there, each with a
frog sticker in bis hand, broke up the fight.
We do not know how general Shields feels,
but We have heard Lincoln saying that
the acceptance of that challenge was the
meanest .hing he ever did in his life
Hardin, than whom a braver man never
stood, never came out of that terrible
charge at Buena Vista, TO which he led
the I'd regiment of the Illinois volunteers.
If the events of his life passed in review
before his mind as he lay wounded and dy-
ing in that fatal lavine, we doubt not this
act of his, by which he prevented two
really brave men from engaging in fatal
strife, was not the least of the consultations
of that bitter hour.

strange Effects of Lightning.

Our exchanges the past week have bro't
us several accounts of the fearful effects of
lightning, resulting in the death of three
or four persons. Near Chicago little girl
was killed by a bolt some rods from the
door of her own mothers house, a dark
line the length of he person indicating the
passage of the electric fluid. At Lebanon,
KY, the wife and child of Mr.. Harrison
were struck, and after lying insensible
some time she recovered. A portion of
the house was badly shattered, The most
remarkable occurrence from lightning was
in Adams, Guernsey county, Ohio. A
man named R. Mackey was fairly struck by
a heavy bolt and not killed. dis attend
ing physician thus relates the marvellous es-
cape in the Guernsey Times:
Mr.. Mackey and three of his boys were
working in the clearing. When the show
er came on, he thought it would be but
moderate one, put on his coat and step
ped under tree, leaning against it with
his fright shoulder. The lightning first
struck the tree, cutting path of eight
or ten inches in width through the bark
and guttering the solid wood to consider
able extent in its descent. When it came
within eight or ten feet of Mr.. Mackey's
shoulder, it made a direct diagonal line
through the bark of the tree, from its for
merdepth to it, and passed spirally over
his body to the ground. 1t first passed
over the back of his right shoulder, then
over his right side, then in front of his
thigh, then wound down behind his knee
and passing down to bis heel, separated, a
portion of the fluid passing out at the heel,
but large portion winding around the
right side of the boot, ripping the upper
from sole, neraly the whole length of the
foot. There are also four small round
holes, about as large as if made by No.
/ shot, in the upper of the boot. The
mark or track made on his body is about
the breadth of the hand and so severely
blistered in places that the cuticle was re-
moved with the clothing.
Mr.. Mackey was entirely unconscious
for some time, but while his son, (suppo-
sing him to be dead) was in quest of help
to remove him home, the rain fell on his
face and restored animation. He suffered
severely for some time, both from the
shock, and muscular contradiction produ-
ced by the action Of the electric fluid upon
the nervous system. He is now doing we'll
and in a fair way 10 fully recover.
The theory of his escape is that the
prespiration upon his body afforded a good
conductor for the electricity, preventing in
great measure its passage into his body.

If Nothing but a Fight will do
We are Ready fer YOu.

Cassius M. Clay gave public notice that
on Court Day, 9th inst, at Richmond,
Kentucky, he would make Republican
speech, and great crowd gathered. We
get from the Cincinnati Gazette:
The Revolutionary Committee were for
silencing him, and one of the mob, when
Clay read the Republican platform, cried
out to "shoot him through the head" Mr..
Clay quietly replied that he should "stand
or tall there" but the clamor continued.
Mr.. Clay then said: "Gentlemen, I see
what you are after. If nothing but a
fight will do you, we are ready for YOU
Now try IL. Shall speak, citizens, or
not?" eyes, yes; go on" was the re-
sponse from the great majority of the crowd.
A dozen voices cried out, "No, no." To
which Mr.. G. replied-"Then go out, ifyou
don't want to hear!" Great applause. =
And they went out, completely foiled in
their feeble attempts at assassination. Mr..
Clay made strong speech, which told
with great effect upon his large audiences.

Little Delaware Coming!

The Delaware State Journal, and the
Delaware Republican, both Fillmore pa
pers in 1856, now fly the Republican flag
of Lincoln and Hamlin. Delaware was
in the Chicago Convention, the
delegates being from among her best citi-
vens, and she will cast large vote for the
Republican nominees. Delaware is fast
wheeling into the line of Republican
States.
