OLD TIMES COME AGAIN.-The appear
ance of the leyee yesterday was well cal
culated to remind our old residents of the
good old times Of yore, when the wharf
was covered with freight, and mammoth
steamers spent whole days in loading for
New Orleans. Corn, pork, lard, hay, dead
hogs, and poultry were piled up in proiuse
abundance, and a score or more of drays
were engaged all day hauling down more.
An extra train was sent TO Nineennes by
the r.. d G. Railroad to bring down large
quantities. OF freight to go South. The
Mepham viii scarcely be able to take all
that is offered her, and the Liberty is
compelled to lie over until noon to-Gay in
order to enable shippers to get their orders
filled. IL the river g9rgesaboye dsclears
out here, as it is 1ikely TO do, business win
be as brisk here as in the palmiest days of
trade. We sympathize with Louisville
and Cine innRti, located, as they are,T in a
frigid cline, but Evansville is rnanifestly
now the head of navigation, The Clifton
will probably discharge Her cargo here,
and return to Memphis, Negotiations. are
pending for the Shipment Of her cotton
and that of the MePham by rail.

BOOTH AND THE LORDS PRAYER.

In the palmy days of Booth (the father Of Ed
win Booth, the great tragedan, together with sew
eral friends, was invited to dine by person who
was opposed to theatres and theatre going-and yet
had curiosity enough to wish to see something OF
the lion of the day. During the evening some one
requested Booth, as particular favor to read the
Lords Prayer. He expressed his willingness to
afford the company this qualification, and all eyes
turned expectantly towards him. Slowly and rev.
erently he arose. All were astonshed at the play
of emotions that convulsed his countenance:, His
face became deathly pale, and his eyes trembIngly
turned upwards, were wet with tears. The silence
could almost be felt it became absolutely painful
before his rich-toned voice from the death-hued
lips indescribably ylabed forth, sour Fatherwho
art in Heaven" etc. Every heart was thrilled with
the pathos and soemnity Of the occasion. After
he had finished the silence continued, until sub
dued sob from remote corner OF the room broke
the spell. The host stepped forward with stream
ing eyes and seizing Booth by the hand, said: "Sir
YOU have afforded me pleasure for which my
whole future life will feel grateful. | am an old
man, and every day from my boyhood to the pres
ent time I thought had repeated the Lords
Prayer, but I never heard it before, never, :,
Booth replied ITO read that prayer asst should
be read, has cost me the severest study OF thirty
years; and I am far from being yet satisfied with
my rendering of that wonderful production. Hard
ly one person in ten thousand comprehends how
much beauty, tenderness and grandeur can be con-
densed, in a space so small and words so simple
That PRAYER of itself sufficiently illustrates the
truth of the Bible, and stamps upon it the seal OF
Divinity"
So great an effect had been produced by the read
ing, that after few minutes of subdued converse
ton the company broke up and retired, tor the
time, at least, with full hearts.

JOSH BILLINGS ESSA ONTO SWINE.

Hogs generally are quadripid.
The extreme length ov their antiquity has never
been fully discovered they existed long time be-
fore the food, and hev existed long time since.
There IL great deal ov internal revenew IN a
hog; there amt much more waste In them than
there IL in an oyster.
Even their tails can be worked up into whissels.
Hogs are good, quiet boarders they alwus eat
what Is set before them, and don't ask eny foolish
questions.
They never hev eny disease but the meazels and
they never hev that but once once seems to satisfy
them.
There is great menny breeds among them.
Some are a close corporation breed, and some are
bilt more apart, like hemlock slab.
They use to hev breed in New England few
years ago, which they called thestnped hog breed
this breed was in great repute among the landlords
almost every tavern-keeper had one, which he used
tew show tew travellers and brag on him.
Some are full in the face, like town clock, and
some are as long and lean as a cow-catcher with a
stealpinted nose on them.
They can all rute well hog that kant rute well
haz been made in vain.
They are short-ived animals, and generally die as
soon as they get fatt
The hog can be learnt great menny cunning
things such as histing the front gate off the hinges
tipping over the swill barrels and finding hole in
the fence tew git into oorn-feld but there ain
emmy length to their memery; it IL awful hard fol
tn I'M tew find the same hole tew git out at, espe'
cially if you are at all anxious they should
Hogs are very contrary, and seldom drive vel

other way; this haz never bin fully explained, but

AN INGENIOUS MAcHINE.-An ingenious me-

AN INGENIOUS MAcHINE.-An ingenious me-
chanic of San Francisco, California, has recently
invented machine for laying railroad tracks, which
must work revolution in that character of labor,
as it can lay the ties and iron, and complete as it
goes, distance of two and half miles per day,
with the aid of twenty men only The model is
now on private exhibition here, and has been ex-
amined by the most experienced railroad men in
the country, and pronounced perfectly practicable
and simple The road must first be graded, OF
course. The balance of the work is admirably per-
formed by the machine, and the only work to be
done behind is the filling in or anchoring the ties.
1t is alleged that Ex-Governor Sandford has exam.
ined it, and pronounced it perfectly feasible and
practicable, and he is considered high authority,
having had great experience in that line Of bust
ness.
The machine will cost about $250O, complete. -
1t not only lays the ties with mechanical precision,
but cuts the grooves for the rails and lays them,
drives the spikes, and completes in the most mi.
mute particux the entire work. Itcarries its load
of ties and rails, and occupies space equal to a.
bout two platform cars. Several of the most en-
terprising capitalists have taken the enterprise in
hand and machine for practical work is being
built.

ELASTIC GLASS Mr.. Wortley, one of the speak
ers at the cable banquet in London, alluded to an
interview he hads some years agowth the late Prince
Consort, in reference to the undertaking. After
discussing the matter for WHILE his Royal High
ness alluded to the question what was the nsulator
and said what they wanted was material called
elastic glass Mr. Wortley expressed some surprise
at these suggestion, and observed that he had not
heard elastic glass mentioned by scientific men,
Prince Albert replied that this substance was spo,
ken off by rather obscure classic author Petroni-
GUS Arbiter, and taking down book he searched
for and found the passage to which he called at
tention. This was the story of the man who ex-
hibited before one of the Caesars glass vial which
was thrown upon the ground and bent in like a
brazen vase. The ingenious inventor then pulled
hammer out of his pocket and at leisure beat the
vial perfectly into its original shape. This being
accomplished, he thought himself into the seventh
lone possessed the secret of making this kind Of
glass ordered him to be beheaded.

PROFIT IN BEE-KEEp1NG.-A proof that bee
keeping, as business, pays as well as or better
than any branch or horticulture, would state that
1 am now offered for my bees, $500 cash. 1t is
not yet six years since paid $50 for the four stands
with which Icommenced the business. I have nev-
er bought hive since. So this is the increase of
n,y capital in five seasons, saying nothing Of the
bees, honey and wax sold in the meantime, or the
pleasure derived from the business.
Now that have so many hives, find the profit
increasing every year, without requiring more time
and labor than bestowed on few. So far from
there being any danger of over stocking, find that
my bees have done better the two past than
many have done where there were but few hives
kept in one place, and l am convinced that where
they are managed rightly, hundreds of colonies
will do well where one will. To accomplish this,
however, it is Indispensable to have them strong
and vigorous in spring, that they may take advan-
tage of the whole honey harvest. S. T"pper,
