BEAUTIES OF REGisTRATToN.-A gen.
tIeman who has been employed by the
Government for the past two years, and
served for four years in the Federal army
concluded that he would obtain registra.
ton papers the other day. On going TO
the registration office he saw lot Of
negroes there, each one being granted a
certificate and no questions asked. On
presenting himself, the Registrar saw
that he was white, and told him that he
must get two loyal citizens to testify to
his loyalty. The gentleman presented
letters from Generals Grant and Meade
certifying that he had served for four
years in the army. Registrar Davis still
refused the certificate, and the gentle
man departed wondering whether Grant
and Meade are considered loyal by the
Tennessee Radicals.

The SHAKER sensation at New Lebanon.

A short distance south of the south

Gated the settlement of the Lebanon
Shakers in Columbia county. The set
Element was fearfully agitated yester-
day, on account of the marriage of two
members of the family-Brother Daniel
Harding and Sister Martha Jane Cline.
The parties had never spoken together
before marriage, but had carried on
correspondence. The elders discovered
the letters and expelled Harding. Miss
Cline then fled, aud claimed the pro-
lection of Henry A. Tilden, of I,eba-
non. Harding sought her there, and
they were subsequently married A
correspondent, writing from New Leb-
anon, gives the following particulars
of the romantic transaction: On Sat
urday last, III the morning, about six
o'clock, was to be seen tripping
through the meadows. in rear of MIR.
Tilden's residence, a beautiful, black
eyed Shaker sister, abont nineteen
years old, who sought Mr. Tilden's
mansion and asked projection and care,
which was generously given. An in
quiry into the cause of a departure
from the holy fraternity so early in the
morning elected the fact that she had
dared to receive letters from one of the
brethren, who was a prominent business
man of the family, and that they had
been watched; that during the night
of Friday the letters had been taken
from her pocket.
She discovered the loss while getting
breakfast for the family, and ascertain
ing that the elders had them, resolved
TO leave at once rather than take the
hazard of being sent TO another family,
or shut up for a few months, and per-
hars forever, from the object of her at
fections. With a quickness of decision
that does great credit TO her tempera-
ment. she sought the world for friends,
and found them. The truant brother
was called to the elders room, and
charged with the offence of indulging
in a sentiment that Shakerism does not
tolerate, and desired to- quit Taking
the chances of ever seeing his sister
AGAIN, well knowing that she wonld be
carefully excluded from his sight, and
without dreaming that she had already
flown, he left, a fOrlorn exile. What
were his feelings when he found, on
inquiring at house near by, that she
had left before him, "can be better i'm
aoined than described" as the novel
lists say. Suffice it to say that before
the afternoon sun had gone down. they,
in full Shaker attire, were united by
the clergyman of the village, and re
ceiyed the good wishes and congratu
Iatioos of numerous "friends of the
family" who came together and ten
derei them all in every way to make
pleasant their new Journey of life, to
tbem. n new world. The brother is an
intelligent and active business man,
and will make an honest living any
where. His bride is IA lady OF fine cul-
tnre and amiable disposition, and will
win friends in any circle to which she
may be called.

to the audience as "ReDeread Theodore

over to the gentleman who introduced
him, as follows. %

man who has been announced Tor the
lecture this evening is not here, to-
night. L think you never will have
the pleasure of listening to hlm-he

sion a good lady had Charles Lamb Tor
a guest at dinner, with several other
literary characters. His white neck
tie and serious cOuntenance caused his
hostess to imagine that he was very
devout man. 80 when the guest were
seated at the table, she says:
Mr.. Lamb will you say grace?
Lamb trembled. and looked around
at the guests.
Is there no c-c-c-clergyman present?
he asked.
''Nohe, / believe, " replied the lady.

HE Mint Directed 90 Purchase nickel
Gents

The Secretary of the Treasury has
authorized the Director, of the Mint,
with a view of reducing the quantity OF
cents in circulation and obtaining a
supply of nickel in convenient form, to
purchase nickel cents, paying the nom
inal value in three cent and five cent
pieces, which will be commenced on
the 10th of June, under the following
rules
First-Persons sending or bringing
the nickel cents will receive a certificate
of the weight thereof, and the amount
payable in three or five cent pieces, or
both, as they may desire, and with
their endorsement thereon; such certif-
icate will be paid as soon AZ the coins
are ready.
Second-They must be careful not to
send any but the kind mentioned,
which are readily known by the color
and size and by the dates of 1857 to
1864.
Third--The pieces will be taken, not
by count, but by avoirdupois or gro
GERS weight. No lot will be received
under ten pounds, and no spoiled, IL
legible or doubtful pieces will be taken.
Fourth-The reasonable expense of
the transportation of three cent pieces,
Ia sums of thirty dollars, and the five
cent coins, In sums of fifty dollars or
upwards, to any point accessible by
railroad or steamboat, will be paid by
the Mint.
Fifth-This arrangement will be re-
voked as soon AS it is found that the is
sue OF three and five cents is likely to
become too large, or that the abatement
of cents is sufficient The sole object
of this operation is to confer public
benefit, and none of the cents herein
mentioned have any special value.
- Punch has been rapidly losing rep
utation and circulation, and another
comic paper, FINN, is taking It's
place. Public Opinion, in notice of
the latter, says Fun is generally,
we think. Ia It's literature, superior to
Punch, which has, long time now,
been nearly destitute of point or

Berlin MAY - Correspondents of the Lon

If one-half we learn about the new
infantry cannon of the French be true,
It is the most formidable weapon ever
invented, and will go far to render war
impossible. MIR. Gustav Strive, we'll
known German republican, and late
political emigre, has published a dis
cussiye on this sanguinary topic IN the
Raobacbter,E ia Stuttgard paper of his adj
vanced leanings. The gun, he states,
has been repeatedly offered TO him for
purchase, TO aid, no doubt, in the eff
fective realization of his political ideas.
But ON. both occasions, which occurred
i'm 1850 and 1861, he had not the money
to expend. He saw the gun at work
in London as early as 1849, when a

tivity for hours, splitting balls with a
continuity similar to that of the water

The gentleman who is our authority for
this marvellous tale has on another oc-

Last winter a charter was obtained
from the New Jersey legislature for a
company to bnild a pneumatic tube
for the transportation OF parcels be-
tween Jersey City and Camden, N. ].
An effort was made To obtain "A charter
for pneumatic railroad, but this plan
was abandoned, and a charter for ii
freight tube was obtained.
The cOrporatOrs propose to build an
experimental road between Jersey City
and Newark, and are now getting sub
scriptions to their capital stock for that
purpose. This is the first charter OBJ
tanned for the building of a pneumatic
road in the United States. If it is sue
cessfnl it will doubtless be followed by
other similar enterprises.
BY this road packages or mail matter
are TO be propelled from place to place
at very high velocity. The means en-
ployed will he the motion of con
fined column of air.
A short pneumatic despatch railway
is now IN successful operation near
London; and passengers have also been
sent through the tnbe of pneumatic
railway. The New Jersey company
tant advantages over that used in
England. From the prospectus of the
company we take the following partie-
ulars:
''All other pneumatic ways have, as
their great, disadvantage, "A direct com
munication between the air column ana
the open atmosphere. The car, pack
age or piston being driven through a
tube by forcing in air behind it, and
being brought back by eahausting the
air from before it, the momentum of
more than half of the air set IN motion
is lost, as it is dissipated in the at
mosphere.
"The essential. novelty of the pro-
posed railway is that the column of air
which it employs is isolated from the
external atmosphere and forms con
tinuous circuit.
Sin starting, the power of the rO-
tarY pump is communicated so gently
through the elastic medium (the air in
the tube), that, though motion is pro
duced almost instantaneously in all
parts of the circuit, there is no Jar or
violence calculated to injnre anything.
In stopping, the driving disc of the car
impinges upon cushion of air at the
station, and this cushion being per
fectly elastic, brings the car To rest
without the least jar. No collision can
occur, as all parts of the air column
within the tube move in the same di-
rection at the same time, and there is
no possibility of running off the track.
zone stationary engine can do the
work of several locomotives, saving
cost of locomotives, engineers wages,
cost of fuel, lubricants, repairs, &c.-
The permanent way may be constructed
of light and cheap materials, as ii will
not be worn out by heavy locomotives.
The stationary power may be compar-
atively small and inexpensive in work
ing, since the cars do not move through
the air, but with it, and there is moth
ing to be overcome, once motion is es-
tabhshed, but the friction of the Car
on the track and of the ain against the
tube. Storms of wind, rain, snow,
&C., are excluded by the tube.
"The speed is limited only by the
strength of the material of the cars,
and by the power of the rotary pump
to generate motion in the column of
the air In the tube, but not by eOnsid-
erations of danger or cost. ~. Z.
