STEAM vs.. WATER. A Lowell writer says
that a careful computation of the steam
power of the Great Eastern shows it equal
to the power that drives the mills at Lowell.
This gives an idea of the immense power of
the steamer, equal to that required for the
works of the great manufacturing city of
America.
AT THE meeting of the Houston State
Committee in New York on Tuesday, letters
were read from Massachusetts, stating that
Mr.. Everett has il in contemplation to with
draw from the Presidential contest, out Of
disgust at the duplicity with which he is
treated by the leaders of the so-called L nion
party in that State. This is not surprising
and perfectly agrees with intimations that
had reached US previously.
A SMALL child having got cherry stone
lodged within its nose, and the efforts of
regular practitioner having failed, the
vices of the village barber, who likewise
practiced the healing art was called in. He
administered a powerful emetic and at the
moment when vomiting was about to COM
mence, clapped handkerchief tightly over
the childs mouth. Either from the violent
expulsion of the contents of the stomach
against the mares or from the impulse given
by the air expired, the stone dropped on
the floor.
Ssg~ The Louisville Democrat having
made sneering allusion to Carl Schurz,
The Journal thus speaks:
:" We think that in that para graph our
neighbor took more pains to be smart than
just. Carl Schurz is BLACKBOARD. AL
though q Black Republican and Radical,
he is one of the profoundest and most phi
losophical and pc werful thinkers of the age,
and he always gives utterance to his views
in language remarkable for its clearness, its
classical accuracy, and its eloquence."
AN ingenious down east individual, wh 10
has invented d kind of love letter ink"
which he has been selling as ii safeguard
against all actions for breach of promise of
!
the paper in two months after it is written,
was 'done brown" by a brother down
easter, who purchased one hundred boxes OF
the article, and gave him his note for nine
ty days. At the expiration of the time the
inventor called for the payment, but on I'M
folding the scrip, found nothing but piece

AN exchange has the following paragraph
in relation TO free railroad passes:
"Since the Courts in New York have de-
cided that the usual conditions printed on
the back of a free pass given generally by
railroad Offices amounted to nothing, and
did not exempt the company from liability
for any damage to the person using free
ticket, the Hudson river road has hit upon
another device to avoid responsibility for
limbs and property of dead heads travelling
on their road. 1t consists simply of blank
agreement, to be signed by the holder of the
ticket, releasing the company from all obli-
cation for any damage that may ensue upon
using the ticket, and waving in advance all
claims, in consideration of receiving the
free ticket
THE Pittsburg Gazette posted and can
lid paper gives some quotations, showing
ha naVoooraffo in
vania, and thus sums up the matter:
So far as we are enabled to see, the Dem
ocrats of Columbia, Montour, Northumber-
land, Lancaster, Berks, Dauphin, York and
Montgomery, comprising very large por-
ton of the Democratic vote in the iaterior,
will mainly support Breckenridge; those of
the tenth Legion" Luzerne and Schuylkill
will support Douglas; the central counties
are about evenly divided; while a majority
in Philadelphia, the Wnmot district, and
Western Pennsylvania generally, will sup
port Douglas This would give Douglas
tie preponderance over Breckenridge; but
not TO so great nm extent as is general be-
lieved.
THIS YEARS CRoP-A CHEERFUL PRos-
PECT.-The cereal crops of the west promise
to afford a very large yield, and the abund
ant return, it is hoped, will enable that re-
gion of country to extricate itself complete
ly from the financial difficulties with which
the panic of 1857 surrounded ii, and from
which it has not since been relieved. In
plain words, we hope this year of plenty
will enable the West to pay its debts.
The prospects of a good crop in Great
Britain are gloomy enough, for, owing to
the repeated violent storms and rains which
have occurred during the spring and early
summer, the PROBABILITY is that there will
not be an average yield this year, in which
event we shall find a brisker market for our
abundance.-N. Y. Herald.
