THE WINANs SrEAMER.-The Baltimore
Sun says that the Messrs Winans, of thai
city, are now making their arrangements
to begin at an early day the construction
Of another steamer after the model and
construction of that which for year or
two past has attracted the attention of the
marine world. The new steamer will be
700 feet long, and will be propelled by two
wheels driven by eight engines of immense
power. She will have space two hundred
feet long and thirty feet in diameter. The
main shaft will, according to the specifca,
tion, weigh thirty tons. The new ship
will be constructed with high pressure en-
gines, and the builders entertain no doubt
of her success.
A French and Spanish Creole dancer
both appeared on the stage together at
Melbourne, Australia, some time since,
when the creole drew thunders of applause,
to the prejudice of the Partisan. The Par
isian fell to the floor in distress, was en-
ragged, and the two fell upon each other,
tore hair and scratched until the poor cre-
ole was carried bleeding and senseless from
the stage. Then there was a row, in which
the instruments in the orchestra were bro
ken and other damage done, while the la
dies screamed and tainted.
A whip taken from the SLAYER, Erie, was
exhibited in New York last week. 1t is
made of dried rhinoceros hide, having two
thongs or lashes made by splitting the ma
terial to within eight inches Of the end,
leaving the balance for handle. The
lashes are about two feet long, and twisted
into the hardness of iron. There is the
evidence of its use all along the ridges of
either thong, in blood stains.

Hog cholera is prevailing again, and fa-
tally, iu portions of Harrison County, In
diana,, the argus says; that the Hessian
fly is doing good deal of damage to

as unusual for the season.
The great demand for enameled cloth
which has been caused by its adoption for
the uniforms of the Wide-Awakes has CIV
en- an impetus to that branch of manufac-
ture. We learn from the Bridgeport Stan
ddrd that the preparation of the enamel,
or compound applied to the cloth, is the
all important part of the process. The
substances, or the proportions used in
forming the enamel, are known to those
only who are engaged in the business, but
evidently oxides of lead or other metals are
used. Various clouds are given according
as they are required. Some of these, the
bronzes are very ornamental. The process
does not differ essentially from that used
in the enameling of leather. Almost any
kind of cloth can be used, but thin fabrics
carefully smoothed are preferred. An even
coating is given by passing the cloth
under roller, and this is done with great
rapidity a hundred fold faster than it could
be done by hand. The cloth is then
stretched for time in the drying loom, at
temperature of 160 or 17s. After it
has been rubbed and smoothed to render
it perfectly pliable. another coating and
drying is given. Four coatings are ap-
piled before the final vanishing. To give
the grained appearance the cloth is passed
under steel roller, with very strong
pressure. The roller or cylinder is marked
lined as for engraving, and is in itself re-
markable specimen of hand work. The
process Of enameling requires fiTe or six
days.
New CANADIAN PARrY.-A new party
has been organized in Canada, with j. H.
Cameron at its head, which seeks the sup
port of the Orangeman by taking as its
its first principle, protestant union at the
polls and in Parliament, without compro-
mise," to which are added suffrage exten-
sion, the restriction of reciprocity with the
United States, unsectarian education, by
which Catholic public schools would be
abolished, and other measures popular
among the Canadian Protestants.
