Effects of Secession In Baltimore,

and Wanton1y endeayoring to drive prosperitv

dlsunion madness are severely experienced,
Never IN all our history was there so much
suffering among the masses of the people.
Families that never before knew want are cry.

Ways afforded them competence, are forced
to beg OF steal, or etarve. The Councils have.
been compelled to lay aside all other business
TO provide, food for fanishing thousands of
nonest, industrious mechanics and laborers.

and occupation was wont to be in full opsra-

There ia q seeck Of war On the Western

Of three thouaand M.,.1icans, Is marehIug on
Brownsville, in tsat stu.>e: Brownsville Is on
the Rid Graude, the div1.4ing line 'b-tween
Texas and Mexico, and ,s opt t'osite the Mexi-
can town, Matamoras. Accord. ng t9 the re-
port, Ampudia has Issued proc .'aa4aton to
the people, telling them that Texas is; now de-
ienceiess, The United States troops beEn1 With
drawn, and that now is the time Tor NJ exlc>, to
take her back, having always claimed thAt
Texas belonged to her. Furthermore, that
the Mexlcans were rallyipg under AInpudia's
banner, and pressing forward to The Rio

perhaps somewhat exaggerated .Ampudfa, it

Generals il our late:war with that country,
and probably has not yet recovered from the

to think that ne can conquer Texas and annex
her to Mexico. However it may bel be will
meet with q warm reception IT he ventures an
attack upon Brownsville, and the TeSaus will

three thousand men, or even ten times that
number, hardly rises to the proportion Of q
good Joke Inc nT6L 00sG1e Eun thaE echoes
along the valley Of the Rio, Grande will be the
signal for raly Of the Texans there in force
sufficient to scatter Ampudia and his men like
leaves before the wind. I: -. -s.::--*
The United States vessels that are of the
coast Of Texas, were sent there to bring away
the Government troops. Among them Is the
Star Of the West, the famous vessel that was;
fired into a few weeks ago when she attempted :
to enter Charleston harbor. But for the fact
that the Goatzseoa|cos had left 1ndianela with
six hundred United States. troops on board,
suspicion might arise that there was dme con-
certed movement between The Unitea States
and Mexico to attempt the reduction and con-
quest Of Texas. But there, is eyineatly no foun-
da.ion for such suspicion, since tha United
States soldiers have been sent away. ,>..
Fort Brown, Which protects BroRGsTille,
according. to the report, is to be reinforced,
and supplied with heavy artillery. by TIE

This much is certain, however: the default

" Romance OF the stzam Engine.


-Jamcs watt, the invento. Of the steam en-
glne, WIS born in the year 1885, and died in
1873, at the age of::.s9. From an interesting
article In the Scientific An,aieen we make a.
few extracts concerning this great man and
ms Invention: -
The comprehensive mind of Watt took in
all the principles Of motion-all tho devices
and parts Of the mechanism, and the power
which gave motion TO-. the steam engine.
Watt first invented condensation in separate
vessel from the cylinder; he was the first to
operate the piston both backward and forward
in the cylinder, by means Of steam, making it
trnly the steam engine; he invented the par
allel motion, applied the governor to the
throttle valve, the mercury gauge to, the boil.
sr, the. da4h pot to the puppeI valves, used
the adjustable cut, t,off, and worked steam ex-
pansfysly,. invented and applied the steam,
1scket, and made the ,damper self:acting in
short, be LEFT the low pressure engine essen.

said Of him: "Alr. Watt has long been. bV

In 81 agea and nations." Professor Robinson
said Of him: :!"Every new thing that came
