steam Carriages.

Steam carriages for eamaaon roads have it
seems been successfully constructed. The
philadelphia Bu7zefin thus describes one which
was s:exibited on the Point Breeze Park, on
Tuesday last;
1t consists of an ordinary four-wheel car
riage; which has.an urpight boiler Of about
xteen inches diameter i'm the rear, with the
lever regulating the steam and speed extend
ing over the seat in front Beneath this boil
er is the furnace, which gives no outward, sign
Of its presence, and in the rear of the boiler is
the small water tank Tie steam gauge is on
a level with the driver, and he can without,in-
convenience ascertain the amount of steam
generated. The whole machine is of two
horsepower Two.persons take their seats in
The carriage, and eff it STARTS the driver guild
ing with one hand the front wheels, by means
Of crank, and with the ether hand he canreg-
ulate the speed OF the engine, or stop the car
rage in less time than q pair of horses can be
brought to q halt. The shaft which propels
the carriage cQInmInicates with small Gran
affixed to the axle of the hind wheel Coal
sufficient for one days driving can be carried
beneath the seat OF the carriage, and although
the speed attained is thatof the fastest horse,
the expense of running the carriage is estima-
ted at one cent Ger mile, while in operation,
with the additional virtue of.not costing any
thing in the way of feed and stabing when not
in use When the carriage was exhibited, the
engine carried but fifteen and twenty pounds
of steam and yet it taxed the powers of the
horses present to keep pace with its speed
The carriage and engine does not weigh more
than seven hundred poundss No difficulty
was experienced in turning sharp corners or in
backing: nor were the animals on the race
course at all alarmed by its presence. The ex-
'haust ssteam makes but little noise. and even
tkis can be avoided if necessary. The ma
chine appears to be decided success. -

WAR MADNESS.

&
On one occesicn, at the Isthmian games,
4Diogenes observed two horses tied together at
the same spot, fighting and kicking each other,
with a crowd of spectators collected around
them, till at length one of the horses, wearied
withthe contest, breke the rope and run away.
Diogenes Immediately went up to the horse
that remained in his place, and put with great
gravity the garland on the creature head and
loudly proclaimed him a ccnqueror in the
Isthmian games, Hbccause he had vanquisked
his enemy in kicking.p,' - sasE :

MIR. EaIIandigham as a Scholar.
His Character.

s The Columbus Crisis, in notice of the
late address of Mr.. Vallandigham before the
students of the Michigan University, says:
"Some years ago Lord Palmerston, on be-
ing elected to the highest post of learning in
England, delivered an address to the students
of Edinburg, which Eas sent to us by some
friends in England, and which VIC read with
more than usual interest but. from its length
we were unable to publish it. Though very
able, it did rot any thing like 'equal this in
closencss of fstyle,rpurity of Linguistic and evi-
dence of thorough reading. Mr. Valiandie-
ham was early scholar-at eleven years of
age, under the care of his father, who was a
clergyman. he was well read in the classics;
at sixteen he was pronounced at school the
first of Greek scholars .Attwenty-fye, when
he first came TO the Legislature from the coun-
ty of Columbiana, he was conceded to be the
most accomplished scholar that lad appeared
in our legislative halls for years.. In addi-
ton to this Mr.. sVallandiglam is close stu

Strictly temperate in all his habits, never vast

he has been able to resist all the temptations
to acquire popularity or public fayors by

tions and the array of plunderers who hang
round all Legislative bodies to buy votes by
offers of bribes direct, or the proffer of polit

a very useless if not q dangerous man. To
them he was both; but there it stopped With
others, as the true cause became known ahe
grew rapidly into favor To bad and corrupt
