Poisonings in WASHINGTON.

The New York Daily News has long
article giving list of the prominent assass
nations of men in power mentioned in his,
torp. 1t says Of somewhat recent event
10 our own history:
The National Hotel poisoning, at Wash
ington, Immediately previous to the inaugu-
ration of President Buchanan, in 1857, is
too recent and too wildly impressed on the
memory Of our people to require more than
brief alluson. The President escaped, owing
to the circumstances that although he room
ed in the hotel, his meals were brought to
him from outside But several of his emil
nent political friends were terrible sufferers,
aud barely escaped a most agonizDg death.
Among these was the Hon. Robt. j. Walker,
who endured physical torture for months
afterwards, and was brought to the brink of
the grave. The total number of those who
actually died from the effects of the poison
was nearly one hundred, and comprised
both ladies and gentlemen from many differ
ent States. The number Of sufferers who
were finally restored after untold misery,
was five times as great. The drug used was,
probably, arsenic, scattered through the salt
and powdered sugar used at the table. A
bitter controversy arose at the time, it being
to the interest Of some parties to make
light Of the "poison theory" but secret
papers in the Department of State, if pub
lshed to the world would set that question
at rest forever. At this distance of time
there are few who do not fully believe the
worst; and many who read these lines may
still retain the most painful assurance in
their own physical systems that Lucretia
Borgia had found imitators, male and female,
on Pennsylvania Avenue.

A Portrait of John Randolph.

John Randolph, of Roanoke, was the
strongest leader that the radicals Of Virginia
ever had. lie was the warrior who prepared
the way for the formation of new school
of politicians under Mr. Calhoun. lie was.
a small, dark man, with beardless face, and
an inensy black eyo. lie was proud of his
blood was easily dscernibe. His voice had
very peculiar ringing quality, which gave
the listener the feeling that the fine weapon,
which he used was twisted around after
entering his antagonist. lie did not use the,
tomahawk, but the finest of rapiers He,
was remorseless in his sarcasms, and was
ready to stand by them in the field He was
not bad hearted, however. In duel with
Henry Clay, he received Mr.. CIay's fire and,
then discharged his own pistol in the air.
exclaiming, 81 would not make widow and
orphans for all the Ohio and its tributaries"
His caustic and witty sayings were reported
throughout the country, like those Of Dr..
Johnson, as when a writhing antagonist,
meeting him full on the main avenue at
Washington, said, 81 do not give the way to
puppies" II do, sir" said Randolph, yield
ing the path and walking on. Many asser.
tions have been circulated against Randolph's
personal character, which are utterly un-
founded. They are traceabe in part TO the
hate he excited by his relentless attacks,
but still more to his contempt for the ignor.,
ant and fanatcal sects by which he was
surrounded. He has for many years served
the Methodiss and Baptisis Of Virginia, as
Voltaire has elsewhere, to point their exbor-,
tations, the allegation being that on his DEATH
bed when he could speak no longer, be,
wrote the word Remorse. 1t has since been
proved that he simply wrote the name Of a
neighbour. E. Morse-whom he desired

War of Races.

In Mexico, and the other Spanish American
Republics, whites, Indians, and negroes, with
the different crosses of these races, are on
a footing of political equality, and here lies
the cause of their frequent revolutions and
devastating civil wars. They are caused by
struggles between the different races for
political supremacy in the Government
Those Of Indian blood are jealous and en-
vious of those of African and white blood,
and the latter, in turn, are jealous of and
hate the Indian and each other. Every
well informed Mexican or other person who
has carefully watched the subject, will readi
ly admit that the main cause Of the present,
as well AS all other civil wars that have ever
prevailed in that country, are the result Of
an inherent antipathy between distinct races,
which causes the people Of one race to en-
deavor to overthrow those of the other who
may be in political power. This war of
races is ever occurring, and always will
occur; more particularly is it stimulated 10y
giving to two distinct races equal political
power and privileges. There is a natural
anlipahy on the part Of the negro against
the white, the white against the Indian, and
on. This is not the result of Ignorance
and narrow prejudice, but of the laws Of
creation, by which each race was created
with distinctive marks and features, and
placed in separate locations. If, as in Mexico
two or three races are placed on footing
of perfect political equality, the result is
continual struggle for political power by
one race against another-each practically
refusing to recognize the others equality.
If whites, Indians, negroes and Chinese are
placed upon footing of political equality
in the matter of revolutions and pronuncia.

A New Locomotive.

An entirely new style OF locomotive has
been recently patented and introduced in
England. 1t is so constructed as TO run
either way without being turned about, thus
dispensing with turn tables, requires no ten
der, and is capable Of passing the sharpes.
curves without difficulty or danger. A the
wheels are driving wheels, eight in number,
arranged in two distinct sets Of four with
two cylinders to each set. A passenger ex'
press engine built upon this plan is thus
described and commented on by the Pittsburg
Commercials:
This engine has two sets of four wheels
coupled 6 feet 6 inches; minimum radius Of
curve l-2 chains distance between centres
of wheels of each frame to determine radius
of curve, I feet; weight Of engine on the
rails for bite or hold, 40 tuns; weight on
each wheel tons; number of cylinders, 4;
diameter of cylinders, l6 inches; stroke, 20
inches; tractive power of engine at the rails,
10000 pounds. The fire is fed from the
side, the stoker standing on one side of the
engine and the driver on the other side.
The engine is arranged to carry the neces'
sary quantity of water, say, 1900 to 1000
SdiIOHs, duu Iuel loI 'ouS V'o'""VeS, "'tHVuV
stopping for either, being enabled to do so
by employing more wheels, which, while it
allows sufficient Of the above to be carried
beside the weight of the machine itself,
does not overload them, and therefore re
duces wear and tear of the permanent way
and wheel tyres to a minimum. To insure
long wheel base and facility to traverse sharp
curves, there are two separate pairs OF en-
gines and framing complete.
If this invention should prove practicable,
and the London Mechanics Magazine, in
commenting upon it says, THAT reason is not
a: variance with favorable expectation" then
we may be likely to witness great and
radical change in the locomotive system.
We shall get by this invention the entire
weight of the engine, fuel, and water trac-
ton, the weight equally distributed upon
the wheels, the facility to run in either direc-
ton without turning; the facility TO pass the
sharpest curves known in railroad practice,
and other incidental advantages of almost
equal Importance. The inventor is a bold
man, but boldness is necessary for a refor-
mer, whether in politics or mechanics, and
in the belief that the present locomotive is
not so perfect but that it can be improved,
we welcome all attempts in the right direc
ton.

NUMBER 80.
A Hint on Carpets.

OF all the expensive things in a modern
house Of the ordinary class, perhaps, carpets
are the dearest. In case of removal, they
become almost useless, and have to be sacri-
feed at any price that can be got for them,
because, having been cut and measured for
one room, perhaps of a peculiar shape, they
are useless in any other; for it the pattern
could be matched, which it, often cannot, q
bit Of bran new carpet sown on to biz not
so new, would be out Of harmony, and tell
story which the pride Of poverty would rath
or wear concealed. The Persian and Turkish
system of carpeting rooms is infinitely better
aud preltier than ours. The Persian carpet,
especially those from Besht, are exquisitely
beautiful. Their colors. are brighter, the Dc.
signs prettier, and they are far more durable
than European carpets They are made IN
strips usually between two and three yards
long and about one yard in breadth, to 60
round the sides of a room, with a square
carpet, of any size preferred, for the center.
They do not require to be nailed or fitted,
and II sufficient number of them will of
course carpet any room, however large or
small. They have very rich and grand
appearance, too. In Summer they are easily
taken up, beaten, rolled and put aside bya
single servant man; and in the hot weather
why should we not more generally initiate
Continental custom, by painting or polishing
floors! Floors painted or polished look far
prettier in July sunshine than any carpets,
which are then mere fustry traps TO catch
dust, harbor insects and retain bad smells.
Everything has its use and seasons. The use
and season OF carpets are not in the summer
time. Where it is impossible to paint or
polish the floors of house the employment
OF oil cloth will be found good economy in
Summer, and far cleaner. Oil cloth, too, Of
charming patterns, may now be bought very
cheap, and it keeps room delightfully."- cool
and fresh. AU The Year Bound,

"Reminiscences.

Upon the ground of the fire this morning
there stood, fifteen years since, fronting NJ
street, seventy five feet from the corner, the
Pacific THEATRE" completed in April, 1850,
at a cost of over $3.50, 900; opened on the
lst of May by Joseph A. Rowe as an amph-
theater; tickets of admission 80 and $2.--
This was followed by the "cbaste and cassi.
cal" exhibition of the "ModeI Artists" by
houses, for two weeks; admission IS and 49,;
rent, 800 per night. On the goth of July,
1850, Mr.. and Mrs. G. r. Thorne and James.
Stark made their first appearance in Cafor-
MIA at this theatre, and continued for several
months; tickets 80 and $2 This company
was followed by the Chapman family, who
continued in possession until the theatre was
destroyed by the great fire of 1862. The.
theatre proper was leased to Rowe and the
Thornes, for 81 500 per MONTH The two
saloons in front rented for $500 per month.
On the corner Of M and Front was erected
three story building, AZ by 70 feet, at a
cost Of $4,000. The first floor was occupied
by auction and commission stores, at a
monthly rent of 1000. The second floor
was in one grand hall, used for concerts ;,
balls, etc. with the exception of Sundays,
when it was occupied by the Episcopal Church
Society, of which Rev. Mr.. Moorehead was,
pastor. The third story was divided into
rooms, which rented tor $50 per month
This building was also destroyed by the fire
Of 1852. These buildings were erected and
owned by james Queen. A. p. Petit, archi-

Tunneling bv Fire.

The Nevada Transcript 18th Mag says: -
We recently gave the favorable results Of
experiments in working rock 10y fire in the
bedrock tunnel in the claims of Mr.. Clark,
at Smartsvie. Since that time we have
heard of miners who have used fire in break.
ing large bouders in hydraulic claims, but
we should judge that in such cases it was
more expensive than gunpowjer. But in
tunnels where the rock is hard and worked
with great difficulty, as shown by Mr.. Clark's
experiment, fire is far superior to any other
agent saving one'third in time and more
than half in expense. The method of break
ing rock by fire was used in ancient times in
the Hartz mines in Germany, but in conse-
quence Of the high price Of wood it was
abandoned for gunpowder, but recently the
old method has been revived, miners using
coke instead of wood. The following is the
process:
In portable furnace about one and hall
bushels of coke are placed. The fire is kind
led at 5 o'clock, p. M, and kept until 5
O'Clock the next morning, when the furnace
is removed and the rock left to cool after
being sprnkled with water. About noon
the face of the rock spontaneously detaches
ITSELF and then further portion is easily
broken. The effect Of the fire extends about
eight inches, and, according to the Scientific
american, with one and half bushels of
coke, from 1000 TO 2,4OO pounds weight OF
ore is obtained at half the cost of the gun
powder process. 1t is said that by this meth
cd the hardest rock is worked to better ad,
vantage than softer kinds. In the Smarts
Vile claims hard slate rock was worked and
no furnace was used. The wood, about a
cord, was placed against the face Of the rock
and allowed to burn out. Neither was water
used. We have no doubt that with properly
constructed furnaces, SO arranged as to be
easily moved upon car, the effect produced
in CIarks claims can be doubled

A FRENCH IDEA OF WAsHoE.-The Paris
correspondent of the New York Times. in a
recent letter, makes the following statement
in reference to the interest felt in France on
the subject of the great mineral wealth Of
Nevada: ..
The "Monteur" publishes statistical
history Of Nevada, and admits that the birth
of this new State is one Of the wonders Of
the world With the great want which is
felt in France for the precious metals (or
independently Of the circulating medium,
there is no country where so much metal is
consumed in manufactures it is not strange
that the French should feel certain Jealousy
in seeing all the important mines in the
world in other hands than their own, or
that they should watch with anxiety the
development of the mineral resources of the
great American mineral region.

A SNEAK SHEET.

The Sacramento Union interpolstes in a
Virginia correspondence letter a remark
which may be construed into a dirty fling
at U Congressman elect, D. r. Ashley
though much we doubt If that were the
intention of that proverbially cautious
journal. The words, however, are eagerly
seized upon by the double advertisement
Enterprise, and interpreted in their worst
possible sense as against Mr.. Ashley. The
object of the Double Advertisements is read
lily apparent. II the Sacramento Union
limited anything Of evil against Mr.. Ash
ley's habits, it made only a vague allusion
in the direction where the Double advsr-
tisements once sprawled its full force OF
malignant abuse. DenouncinS Mr.. Ash
ley, on the morning Of the assembling OF
the State Convention as q drunkard, il
had the modification (f shame had a
home about the establishment Of witness
ing the nomination Of the person so de-
~nounced, by an overwhelming vote. The
rebuke involved in this nomination has
probably, at least, been somewhat CALLING
20 the Double. Advertisements; and the like
attack Of the Sacramento Union was a
very God-send to the concern. Now, how
obstreperously it defends Mr.. Ashley
How furiously it abuses McDougal! Or
is this another assault upon Mr.. A, in {
ack-handed style as, to declare that Mr.
A. cannot be, will not be SO wretched ar

TO SISTER N

- ~
You are a long way off, my dear but
you are on our track, or our track viii be
o or ought to be on you ; and we want
to speak for a moment to you. Your
Legislature meets this Winter. Please
appoint a committee with authority n
instructions to investigate and report as
to the actual amount and character OF
Railroad construction in your State, and,
particularly, as to the prospects OF the
Pacific Railroad and its branches, as your
own observation may testify. Senator
Stewart, no more than Sam Bowles, could
not tell what work had been done on any
of the branches, nor CLEAN a word as to
the intentions of the PaciHce Railroad
Company, the Union Pacific Railroad
Company who have not struck q lick
for work as yet. Now, it is true, Con-
gress will have its investigating commit
tee; but you are on the ground, your
ground is in good part the land where the
track is to be laid, and you can examine
and report with ease, with certainty, with
accuracy. You can take q trip on the
Railroad around about until you strike
Omaha and Nebraska we are speaking
to your committee. Tell US all about
| Dix's road,-not the road for Dixie, but
the Pacific Branch Railroad presided over
BY John A. Dix. Some say there is q
hundred miles constructed others declare
there is not more than half that space
rally overcome. Please ascertain and
let US know. Let the world know. The
Nebraska Legislature might wisely do q
similar thing; but We can't appeal to her
so strongly, as she's only a Territory.
We have a couple Of Railroads across
the State Of Missouri. How much more
we have, it is hazardous or conjectural tc
say. What Stewart and Bowles couldn't
find is set forth often in newspaper para.
graphs; now let US have from Kansas q
report, with a map, showing just exactly
what has and what has not been done ii
the form of Railroad construction. And
in this manner, Kansas can perform Q
great, positive service in urging on the
mighty project OF the age.
