 MASON AND DixoN's LINE.-On the 4th of August, I763, Thomas and Richard Penn and Lord Baltimore, being together in London, agreed with Chas. Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two mathematicans or surveyors, to mark, run out, settle and fix the boundary line between Maryland on the one hand, and Delaware, and Penn sylvania on the other. Mason and Dixon landed in Philadelphia on the 18th of No vember following, and began their work lat once. They adopted the peninsuIar lines, and the radius and tangent point ol the circular, of their predecessors. They next ascertained the Northeastern coast of Maryland, and proceeded to run the dividing parallel of latitude. They pur. sued this parallel distance of two hun. dred and thirty miles eighteen chains ant twenty-one links, from the place of tho beginning at the N E. corner of Mary land to the bottom of valley on DunkarC creek, where an Indian war path crossed their route, and here, on the 18th of No vember, l767 -ninely-two years ago. their Indian escort told them that it wa
 the will of tie Sioux Nation that the sur
 veys should cease, and they terminated
 accordingly. leaving thirty-six miles si. chains and fifty links as the exact distance
 remaining to be run West to the South
 west angle of Pennsylvania, not far iron the Broad Tree Tunnel, on he Baltimor and Ohio railroad. Dixcn died at Dun

MAKING SHOES BY SrEAM.-The
Haverhill Mass Publisher gives
an account Of steam shoe. The
machine is all worked by a small
five-horse power engine. In the
Easement of the building are the
nachines for cutting, stripping,
rolling and shaping the soles.-
These are then passed to the story
above, where the shoes are lasted,
and the outer sole tackled on by
hand, which process prepares them
for pegging. The pegging ma
chimes are simple in their coustruc-
tion and mode of operation, but
perform the work with great des-
patch and accuracy, driving the
pegs at the rate of fourteen a se-
cond. One Of the most curious op-
erations of the machine is the man.
ner in which it manufactures the
peg for its own use. A strip of
wood of the required width, and
nearly laid in a coil one hundred
feet in length, is put into machine
and at every revolution it is moved
forward, and a peg cut off and
driven into the shoe. The rapidity
and uuerring accuracy with which
these machines perform their work
is truly astonishing. After being
pegged, the shoes are passed up to
the third story, where the bottoms
are smoothcd. secured and brushed.
Tne fourth story is occupied by the
stitching machines. attended by
females, but run by steam, which
involves laborious and fatiguing
operation.

The HEART SUPREME. E.-No.hing in
the wide world is worth half 80
much as love and ,.eace. Riches
and station, and rank, and learning
and polish, and genius, and vani-
ty, and less han nothing when
weighed in Jalance with kind,
genial and uasel6sh heart. Have
them all if you can the first things
are good additions to the last, but
they are wretched substitutes for
it. 1t cannot be from necessity
they are so often parted there
surely is no sufficient reason why
the good and noble heart should
be chilled, and hardened, and in
flated with pride, by the acquisition
of the things that make them great
in the eyes Of their fellows.
The most elaborate culture, the
most subtle refinement, ought not
TO render men selfish and vain.-
Better blunder with the intellect
than with the heart, for the heart
not in the head, lies manhood, and
the days will come when the heart
will be crowned and walk before,
while the understanding goes be-
hind to do its errands. "A new

SHORTEST TINE ROUND THE Worrp
The San Francisco Alta California
of the 10th ulto., brought by the
last express, says:
1t is somewhat singular circum
stance in the commercial history of
our country, that the Japanese will
be the bearers of the quickest in.
telligence ever yet carried round
the western hemisphere. We will
illustrate this: The news which ar
rived here lately by the Pony Ex-
press, came in sixteen days from
London and other parts of Europe
the quickest time on record. The
next morning, before the Alta was
issued, the Japanese steamer Can.
dinmarrah was steamed up, with
her anchor hove short, awaiting the
issue Of our paper, and the arrival
Mr.. Chas. Wolcot Brooks, on board
with a bundle of Atlas. As soon
as these were received, she put out
to sea, exchanging salutes with the
fort as she passed, and will undoubt-
cdly reach Honolulu In eight or nine
days, making the time to that port
in twenty-five days from Europe,
which even in these days of won
der must be deemed marvellous
feat; and it is not little curious
that the japanese, a nation hereto
fore playing a silent part in the
history of the world, should have
been the medium to accomplish this
result. From Honolulu she would
proceed, Immediately after coaling
to Kanagawa, from which port
there is a constant and rapid CON-
munication with Hong Kong
From these facts we deduce that
the Hong Kong people will one
day be supplied with the European
news via California, in less time
than their present facilities afford.

ANOTHER LETTER ON THE PoIIrfcs
OF THE DAy.--Our worthy, respected
and esteemed fellow-citizens--that
patriot, warrior and statesman
General Bottle G.. Jones, sends us
for publication letter on the Poll
tics Of the day, which, on account
of its length, only; is crowded out
Of to-days paper. 1t is deep po-
litical document, but not like some
that have appeared in print recent
ly-it is not without soundings.-
The meaning Of the General is ap-
parent-clcarly and fairly set down.
II must suffice to say for the pres
ent, that he is in favor Of the Un-
ion as long as it lasts, and anything
can be made ont of it yet he is
willing to let 60 Of it at any time,
and allow it to slide, whenever it
does not pay; or whenever the
people fail to recognize in him the
ability, TO manage and direct its
internal affairs. The General is
glad that he was not nominated
for the Vice Presidency, as he was
not q candidate. IL was a matter
entirely talked Of by his friends
The General says to us, in a pri-
vate note
Had / no other motive for ad-
dressing you, it would suffice that
desire to place on record my full
unqualified and emphatic approval
of the action of the Louisiana dele
cation at Charleston to identify
my political existence with theirs :;
TO share all their responsibilities !;
10 receive, in common with them,
the Endorsement and justification
which | know they merit, and am
confident they will receive from
the Convention /; or, il be disap-
pointed in the just expectation, to
submit in Difference to the implied
censure which q failure to sustain
them would convey.
This is the patriotic language
of one who feels his indebtedness
TO the great democratic party
Could any greater concession be
looked fori He is not afraid to
risk his political existence on the
hazard Of the die--having done so
several times before and thrown
skies. He (the General) is satisfi.
ed that himself and friends merit
the endorsement, and justification
the Of great democratic party Of
Louisiana, and If they do not get
it, they have their pocket-handker-
chiefs ready, not to cry, but to-
wipe the perspiration from their
foreheads and try It again
We should not anticipate the
General, his letter on the Politics
of the day, shall appear whenever
we think it will produce the best
effect.
