a New and Ingenious APPlica-
ton Of Water Power.

\ new application Of a water power has been
invented by Sir W. Armstrong, OF big gun cele-
brity. He first applied it az Newcastle, where
the general level of the town is very much above
that Of the wharves of the harbOr, and the water
works in consequence provided a very tall column
of water 1T the lower levels. OF this he availed
himself by applying the pressure so obtained TO
force q piston along q water tight cylinder, and
with simple multiplying gear the cranes on the
quays were made by the mere turning OF a cock,
TO raise any weight their construction could
support. By applying the water power altern-
ately on both sides of the piston and acting on q
cracked axle-as done in the steam engine-a
water engine was next invented, capable of exert
ing any amount of power that could be obtained
from the height of the column Of water and the
amount Of supply.
When 4 sufficient head of water Is available,
or where the work is intermittent, this Is one of
the most successful applications of water power
yet invented. Pipes are conducted TO every part
of the back premises under the pavement, from
q reservoir at the top of a tall tower At the
foot of every crane, under the piston of every
hoist, at every lock-gate, unseen and noiseless,
the power lies dormant but a woman's hand,
applied TO 4 small handle, will set in motion a
force sufficient TO raise a mass weighing fifty or
one hundred tons, either 10 place it In the hold
of q ship, or deposit il in any spot within reach
of the arms of the crane. With equal ease the
gates of locks 100 feet in width are opened or
shut. and the smallest as well as the heaviest
works of the dockyard done, without 4 stranger
being able TO perceive what il Is that sets every
thing in motion.

HOmeIy Hints fer Husbands.

If you fail in raising the wind abroad, that
is no reason why you should kick up breeze
at home. No soil favors the cultivation OF
spare lime so well as the domestic hearth.
Beware of hiding the family bread-basket IN
your wine-merchant's hamper. Keep your
passion flowers outside the walls OF your
homestead. If cultivated within doors, they
are apt to scatter the seeds of dissensiOn
around the family table. Embrace golden
opportunity" with caution ike fashionable
friendship, it too often turns out golden
fleece" If your wife pins fresh rosebud IN
your button-hole when you go forth to busl-
ness in the morning, be careful to present her
with hearts-ease on your return at night
Some men grow suddenly ashamed OF an TN,
assuming pot of migonette if wealthy irlehd
happens to present them with few flowers
from his conservatory, and hide 1t away IN
some obscure. corner, to make way for the
brilliant, scentless exotics. Wives are not
unfrequently treated after similar fashion,
and perhaps it would be well for their fastldl-
Gus ''lords and masters" to jot down the toll
lowing lines upon the tablets of their memo
ries:
As the myrtle, whose perfume enriches the boSel'
Is priced far beyond e'en the gaudiest flower
So wife, who household can skilfully rule
Is jewel Of price to all men-saye afooi

bonds and certificates of Indebtedness, the
bonds bearing interest at the rate of six per
cent. per annum, and the certificates at the
rate of seven per cent. per annum.
The money arising from the sale of these
bonds and certificates has been expended,
pursuant to law, for building the State Capt.
tol payment of tax levied BY the General
Government upon the property Of the State,
for war purposes; payment Of bountyof five
dollars per month to the families of volun-
teers; boarding soldiers and preparing them
for the field; caring for sick and wounded
soldiers, and other war purposes The greater
proportion of this debt having been created
for war purposes, is legitimate charge
against the General Government. The Gen
eral Government has already repaid part OF
the money advanced by the State for carry
ing on the war, and doubt not will eyentu-
ally repay the balance. This money, If re-
funded, will be sufficient to liquidate all State
Indebtedness, and should be applied to that
purpose.
The amount paid to families of volunteers
from the commencement of the war up to
January LIST, 1864, was 81 ,l97, 044 40. Amount
paid on United States tax, SAL ,7S5 z.
Amount paid for building State Capitol, from

terest by some. of the leading English sur
geons. They found congestion of the lungs
and singular weakness in the action OF the
heart-not an organic disease, buta striking
debility, which they attribute to overwork IN
training and consequent exhaustion. Ii Is
the. opinion that he was in much better condl-
tion. FIVE weeks before the fight than when
he stripped to meet King. He locked a

When he fought Sayers, he knocked HIM

az the end of two-hours' fight, was so httie
exhausted, that he distanced his friends IN
footrace and leaped several hurdles. Now
at the end of thirty-fve minutes, and Win
little punishment, he was dead beat ana
scarcely alive. 1t is certain that he was en-
tirely unfit to fight.
