Or. dinarily there is room there for all corners, but the Republican declares that wages are now at the lowest point there and that instead of the enlistments in the army producing scarcity of laborers, they have not yet disposed of the surplus which existed throughout all the agricul tural States of the West and Northwest,

sacc7asI Ii Esp eriDlenG Of Waiking o.
the ~ Yater.

At San Francisco, Mr.. Henry r.
Land has accomplished the remarkab.
fat OF walking halt i mile out into tt.
Vly from North Beach, with his newly
invented and curious WATERSHEDS.
These shoes consist of couple of
oout-Iihe looking aliitairs uockou over.
ii sharp at each end like surf q.
whale boat. They are about eight feet
long, by eighteen inches in width, and
about SIX inches deep. Near the cen
ter OF each is a hole, as for a mast,
large enough for mans foot and lee.
to enter, with a canvass bootleg ex-
tending upwards The place for the
feet below, through these nolo., is like
any moderate shoe OF OJot. The two
shoes are placed parallel to each other,
and are connected by sliding runners,
Whichtravel along the edges Or gun
wales ef the shoes, past each other,
but always in parallel line, the two
being about six inches apart.
It IS easy to see that without some
contr!vance beneath the water to pre-
vent the backward motion Of one foot,
IS the other was being advanced, the
walker would make no progress at2jI,
any more than q company would in
"marking time" To 0byiate this diff
Guilty, Mr.. Roland has invented new
series OF paddles, or :'fcathers," as he
calls them, like the blades Of Az oar,
which can be dropped or gathered up
like ducks legs al pleasure. Thus
when the right foot is being Sided
forward those feathers are snugy gath
cred up under the bottom OF the Shoe,
while those OF the left foot drop like
center boards placed athwart-ships,
prevents that foot from slipping back
wards. Then when the left foot IS TO
be advanced, the walker holds water
with his right foot, ana 50 on.
Ills progress is about four miles an
hoar, and the motion is not only quite
regular but perfectly secure. Each
shoe has little rudder, Of which the
tiller ropes pass up to the hands Of the
walker, thus enabling him to go in any
direction he may choose. Out Of the
center OF each shoe, rises an iron stan
chIon, between which stretches q light
wooden seat, used when in fair wind ;
and if the Water-wall<er chooses to
change leg power for that Of Aplus he
hoists sail about eight feet square
for wide) and three feet high. lr
Roland is inditf1rant rs to the kind OF
weather in which his experiment is
made. lie can walk il ever so high a
sea, and make good hcadway. All he
wants is plenty ofsea room, and not a
very bad surf, so as to break over and
wash him off his pins.

noticed a faint, susceptible smile play,
for amoment, like Pickering sunbeam
round Noll's beautiful little mouth as
she answered, in almost whisper, that
she felt very heavy and sad there. At
this the doctor looked omniously at
the squire, and beckoned him from the
room.
When they reached the parlor, the
doctor thus addressed the St quire,
"Your daughter is evidently suffer
ing from disease that no medicine OF
mine can remedy"
Good God, you Gre not in earnest,
doct0r.'
''Bnt I am in earnest-sbe has got
the disease Of the heart-in other
words, she is hopeles&ly in Iovc!''
'li0PeJessIy, did you say?''
''I'recisely. Unless the person upon
whom she has placed her affections re-
cipr0cates her passion and marrios her
Immediately, I cannot give you hopes
Of her living forty-eight hoars. This is
q serious piece Of business. Have you
any knowledge Of the first great cause
Of this trouble? I mean the person
with whom she has become SO fatally
s'nitten %
FOh, what All old fool [ ami see
1t all. 1t is that precious rascal Char
ley-my ward, doctor-Who has done
this. Bat I will break every bone in
his ugly carcase, the graceless scamp!"
lou will DO no such thing. Tell
me does this young man return your
daughters ardent affection for him p
II he does, and IS willing to have her,
the very best thing yon can do is to
call III 4 minister and have them mar
rled at once. For all I have seen Of
that young fellow, | have formed a
very good opinion ofhis character and
| would sooner see daughter Of mine
the wife Of an honest man, than a bro :
hen-heartcd victim Of unrequited love" :"
care you sure that she cannot re-
cover otherwise than by marrying this
rasoally ward Of mine %
Il am"
"WcI, then, I conscnt-of the two
evils choose the least. So let it be
as you say-thcy shall be united imne-
diatcIy. l will g and tell Molly" and
away rushed the squire to convey the
clad tidings to his darling.
In the meantime Charley arrived
with the minister, and he and Molly
were quickly bound as firm in the
golden bands as that holy man could
do it.
1t was astonishing how quickly Ma
ry's conyalesocncc followed the con>u-
nation Of her wishes. Whether the
squire smclt 3 large sized mice I am
not prepared to say, but Of this fact
am very certain, if he did ho took care
to keep it t. himself. But he often
told the doctor that he thought his
cure for the heart disease was a re-
mGrbabIe one.
And now, dear reader, have doaa,

said she spoke to him, telling him he

weeks from that day he died of the
