\ New MorlyE PowEE DISCOVERED
The Boston correspondent OF the Aha
California, writing under date of Feb. 25,
says:a
Something wonderful has just turned
up, in the shape of a new engine, a sort OF
rival of tie Ericsson, which is deserving a
passing notice, especially as its fame has
not yet got into the newspapers. 1t is the
invention Of Henry NJ. Paine, Of WorceS-
ter, man Of large scientific and mcclan-
cal ability, who in former years made his
name famous by proposing to make gas of
street water--a project which has since
been realized The new motor, driven by
heat, consists Of singIc-aeton cylinder,
embracing an air-pnnp, with one piston
and one connecting rod At the pump-end
of the cylinder, is an apparatus somewhat
like the chambers of revolving pistol
The chambers are filled with discs Of wire
gauze, which, as they revolve, become
charged with moisture by contact with
water in tank. Each one OF these cham
bers is brought before the induct part Of
the air-pump at each half revolution, aud
tho air, passing into the pump, traversrs
the interstces of the wet discs, and becom-
ing charged with moisture, is driven into
the heater and expanded for duty in the
cylinder end. The use of moist air, instead
Of dry, increases the expansive force, aud
gives it great energy and power. | went,
with q friend Of the inventor, to look. at
the machine yesterday, and saw the model,
Of some two handred weight, driven by the
fame Of single gas-barner. Mr.. Paine
Claims that small engines, for printing
presses, etc, may be propelled by the Qame
Of three to five ordinary burners. There
is no boiler whatever TO the machine, aud
all is safety. 1t can be applied to horse
railroad cars, aud thus the equine race be
turned out to grass"

ANCIENT SALT WoRKs IL ILLINois-Mr
Sellers, scientific gentleman in charge Of
some Of the Salincs in Illinois, has sdiScov-
cred various articles sunken III the earth,
which were used at some long past period
Ivy people unknown, in making salt from
the same springs which are now recently
brought into use. A letter which he has
written on the subject, contains descriptions
Of utensils and Instruments found, particu-
larly fragments Of the largest ancient earth
en- jars ever discovered in our country; il
also gives description of the process
which mast have been pursued by the I'M
known manufacturers, in procuring salt
from the waters. Such discoveries, with
,the intelligent and interesting conclusions
to which tie writer was led by the facts,
add new inducements to the labors Of anti

things, it will be well to observe the follow

Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin to read, or write, or sew
for several minutes after coming from dark
ness to bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or
on very cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front oi
the light, or window, or door.
It,is best to have the light fall from

Never sleep so that, OH the first awaken

Fashion and Dress.

As VIC are now in the midst Of the gay
and festive season, when the folly Of over
dress is likely TO manifest itself with more
force than usual, it is, perhaps, good time
10 say a word on the subject. We are the
more encouraged to do this as il is now the
Sabbath, when the mind is presumed to he
open to reason and the heart to conviction
We are not Of those who think the wo-
men of California have been moro extrava-
giant in the matter of dress, or more pnne-
tiliOus in following the fashions, than women
elsewhere. yet that they have been and
still are loo obsrqaioas TO the modes--too
much cnamored Of rich aud gaudy apparel,
is not to he denied. We see the evidences
everywhere-on the promenade, at church,
at the theaier, in the drawing-room, in the
kitchen, everywhere, this abomination is to
be seen. 'h
Had we stopped in our love Of yfnery at
the point of voluptuous elegance, il had not
been SO bad; but VIC have carried it TO the
extreme Of vulgar tawdry, if not to the
verge Of absolute indecency.0 1t has been
urged that our females should dress with
greater simplicity as n matter OF economy;
and so they should. Yet there is u strong
er reason why they should do so than this,
We object to this extravaganza and display
more Oh the ground Of its moral and social
than Of its physical effects 1t hurts the
soul. There is hardly thing that does
more spiritual harm than this love OF gaud
this mean and miserable vanity Of dress.
1t is dangerous business this, OF u woman
decorating her person and sailing out on q
privateering cruise for admiration IL IS o
dangerous experiment for yon, yonng wo-
man, to make; still more dangerous 70 you,
wife and mother, aud most disastrous in its
consequences to your husband aud father.
The love Of show, the fondness for atien-
tion, is the beginning Of the spirits VAN
derings-the first Of its going out on uu-
lawful errauds--fAtal to It's purity, destrues
tive Of its peace. II is these ramblings
that lead more astray than passion; for
most frequently does harlo.ry begin in the
heart. Yea, they are plain words, and pity
it is We should have 10 use them when
speaking Of American wires, daughters aud
mothers. Let those answer who have cre-
ated the necessity for their use, not We for
using them.
We can tell our female population this
folly is depreciaiing them In the estimation
Of all seaside Bsh. and II they wish 70
gain sincere respect they had better dress
more plainly. When they adorn them-
selves 70 the sensation point, aud parade
the streets less Tor recreation than cxhibi-
tion, they are more apt 10 excite the ridi-
cule than the admiration Of even The Top.
and when a woman comes 70 be ridiculsd
she viii soon Dc despised. We contend
that she has no right TO degrade htrsclf 10
this manner; she has 10 right TO make her
self an ikhiasant clothes horse IA mero per-
ambnlating show-window for the display Or
dry goods aud millinery. Pray. good wo,

the Louisiana Legislature, plainly shadow

Americans in the Louisiana Legislature
