eight feet broad, and required compile

and sailors, and three hundred soldiers :
but that of Hero, constructed by the re.
nowned Archimedes, consumed wood enough
to build sixty large gallcys and it was
fitted up in a style that throws the most
of our vessels into the shade. There was
not only banquetting rooms, galleries. baths,

and furnished with the most admirable: skill
and costly materials, with stables, fish ponds,
mills and gardens, baths, library and spa

BONAPARTEs LOVE LETTER.

The great Napolean, when absent on his
campaigns, used to write the most tender
love letters to his wife. Josephine. Here
is one of his short war notes:
IL write very often to you my dear love,
but very seldom hear from you: Perfidious!
Must be forfeit his right because he is far
away, burdened with difficulty care and
fatigue :? Without his Josephine, without
his assurance Of her love, what remains fol
him on earth? What can he do /? A thous-
and loving kisses. @az "BoNAPARTE."
The next is curionsly tender;
II do not love you one bit, on the con.
trary detest you. You are an ugly, stupid
wicked hussy. You never write to me-
and you do not love your husband You
know the delight your letters afford me,
and you sent me only half a dozen hurried
lines. Pray madame what do you do with
yourself all day? What important bust
ness is 1t that prevents your writing to your
ond lover ?-what affection stiles and puts
aside the love, the tender and constant love
you promised me Who can this new
wonder be, this new lover that absorbs all
your time, tyrannizes over your days and
prevents you from thinking Of your husband:
Take care, Josephine, some fine night, the
doors closed an. I'll surprise you. But sc,
riously Pm uneasy love, at receiving no news
Of you; write me four pages Immediately
full of those charming things that FIJI 1n)
heart with tenderness and delight l hope
to embrace you before long, then I shall
cover you with million burning kisses.

olitionists. Gov. Wise was told that he
dared not hang Brown; that 8, 600 freesoil-
ers could march from one end of Virginia to
the other; that the negroes would be made
to rise in earnest this time, and soon. In
short, section Of fanatics, in the name Of
the North, threw out challenge to the en-
tire South, and by So doing sealed Browns
fate. The Virginians hanged the poor old
man, and the rescuers did not move, but
when the tragedy was complete began to in.
dulge in the useless defamation we have
recorded. The result will be to strengthen
the South by the adhesion of that floating
mass Of opinion which, in every country lies
between the two extremes. Whatever may
be the future ofthe negro race, no one in biz
sober senses can believe that it's regeneration
can be effected by melting it to murder plan
tiers and ravish their women; and, if any
one chooses to head an outbreak Of this kind
he must expect to meet fate which right
thinking men will not glorify with the crow,
of lnartyrdom.

UTILIZATION or THE TIDES.

DR.. Seguin, Of Paris, proposes a novel
and ingenious application of the tides as a
motive power applicable to machinery and
agriculture. He proposes to construct, ut
the water side, 1.-TWO monstrous basins-one
being furnished with gates permitting the
entry Of tide water but preventing its exit
the: other having gates permitting the exit
and preventing the entrance from the tide.
By this means the first basin would be filled
with water at high tide, and the other
would be completely lowered to the level
off ebb tide. A canal or race being con-
structed between the two basins, would
thus become the seat of continuous &C.
ton, calm, as easily regulated and susceptl-
BILE Of the same application as natural wa
ter courser. The only question to be set.
tied in considering the applicability Of the
scheme is its economy and upon this poin,
there may be possibld some doubt; which
doubt, however could soon be solved by ar
appeal to mathematics. Dr.. Seguin propos
es, especially to apply the method to thu
publication of the Thames.

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE ExE
CUTlON OF JOHN BROWN,

The Times, in remarking upon the tollin
of bells and other public demonstrations, b,
Northern Abolitionists, on the occasion q
John Browns execution, says: ~.
IS What, then, is to be the lesso,
learned from the recent demonstrations p
The first thing that strikes us is that tn,
north did nothing until Brown was executed
and then it began to make speeches. Thi
certainly does not give us any exalted MOTTO,
of their zeal or determination of purpose
The idea of the Boston people preparing be
forehand great meeting, engaging speaker.
and seats, designing inscrip ions against thu
day that Brown should be executed. and
when the telegraph brought the news of thf
event, rushing to the hall and. listening. t.
flowery speeches, as if Mortified BY sudden
Ycrime, mixes something of the ludicrous with
the tragic occurrence.
Bells were tolled probably in every town
in Massachusetts. and many throughout the
entire North. Yet we will venture to saw
that in few days everything was quiet
again, and John Brown, for whom parallels
were sought in history, sacred and profane,
was judged in his true light, as courageous
old man, maddened by the partisan warfare
Of the west, and whom it would have been
as we'll for the State of Virginia to pardon.
Eif possible. The truth is, that these meet.
ings and demonstrations express only an i'm
pulse, and not conviction of the Northern
people. There is not one American in q
thousand who would act on the principles
which were applauded in tho g fremont
Place,' and i'll number Of other places
after Browns execution. Happily. for the
peace OF society and the security Of the re-
public, there is strong conservative feeling
throughout the Union, and Mr.. Garrlson's
scheme for the secession o: the Northern
States will find favor only with narrow
clique even in his own city. The central
States ofthe Union, such Us New York and
Pennsylvania, will never permit the fanatics
Of either North or South 10 imperil the fabric
Of American nationality. But her interior
ence will never be required, Cor even in Mas.
sachusetts and South Carolina extreme opin-
ions are allowed expression only because
they are felt to he particularly harmless
These noisy and useless demonstrations Of
SO enlightened community as tina. of New
England are however, not without their evil
effect They embitter the shareholders a.
gainst the North, while they give them the
that the north fears to oppose
them.
The Virginia authorities might have Spar
ed Brown, had it not been openly boasted
in the frontier Free States that he should be
rescued on the very drop BY IN army Of ab-

CoLoR1Na MATTER FROM TIE CHINESE
SUGAR CANE.-The Druggists Circular says
that carmine coloring matter is being ex-
tracted from the expressed stem Of the Chi
nese Sugar Cane, by process patented in
Austria, and other German States. The
sorgho is pressed NTH usual manner, and
the empty cane piled. up under cover in reg
ular heaps, several feet high, and the fer.
mentation is interrupted by drying. When
dry, the moss is ground sufficiently fine for
the extraction Of the coloring matter. It is
covered in the proper vessels with cold soft
water, and allowed to stand for IL hours !;
but little of the pigment dlssolves during
that time. 1t is then drained, and after-
wards treated with = weak caustic, soda or
potash lye, until this no longer: extracts
anything. This solution is carefully neu-
tralized with sulphuric acid, thus precipita-
ting the coloring matter in,rel fakes, which,
after settling, is washed with water, collect
ed on filters, and dried. This color dis.
solves in alcohol, alkaline lyes. dilute acids.
&c, and is employed for the dying Of silks
and woollens with the common tin NOR
dants.. The colors produced from it arc
said to be unchanged by light or by wash
