ment Of the Legislature on the 25th
inst.
Mr.. Prosssr offered an amendment to

vote OF 80 TO 80.
A motion to lay Mr.. PrOsssr's amend
msnt on the table wss lost by a vote OF
40 to IS.
Mr.. Richards took the floor, and said
that the people, of the State were bur

purpose OF paying interest on bonds
given to railroads, and these roads were
not only not paying their interest," but
were deterioFsting in value every day,

Longstreet's Confirmation.

The Wisconsin says: We are gratifed
that the United States Senate, Saturday
last, confirmed the Presidents nomina-
ton of General Longstreet, as Surveyor
of the Port of New Orleans. General
Longstreet was an ex-Lieutenant Gerer
al in rebel army, one of General Lees
most trusted officers in great emergencies
perllous to the rebel cause, and at one
time ranked third in the Southern Con-
federacy-afte Lee and Jackson.
When the rebellion was subdued, Ikea
good citizen, he accepted the situation"
and urgently entreated the South to sub
init to the reconstruction policy imposed
on it by the North. Gen. Grant, in order
to show that our Union is again perfected,
and to heal the carroding ulcers of civil
war, nominated Longstreet to the Senate
for an important Office in the southern
states. 1t was natural that there should
be wide differences of opinion as to the pro-
prlety ofthis course.
The best men can periodically differ
Senators Cameron rnd Scott were natural
ly opposed to his confirmation, because
Longstreet was prominent in the invasion
and devastation of Southern Pennsylvania
previous and after the bal of Gettys-
burg. The Pennsylvanians who suffered
there can never forget Longstreet. The
people OF the whole country felt little
differently and therefore we are pleased
to observe that Senator Howe distinguis-
ed himself in favor of tina confirmation
of Gen. Longstreet. He was sustained
by the vote of Senator Carpenter and on
the final record Longstreet was confirm
ed by % to 10.

away-recollect, ten years from this very
night, -you have my full permission to

He carried another face on his shoulders.
He worked cheerfully. He sang the
merriest songs; and he was altogether
the busiest and happiest man for miles

like to take peep in the chest, but he
was an honest Miller, and he would have

1t is said that the proprietors of the
celebrated Plantation Bitters rent no less
than nine pews from the different denom-
nations in New York City for all those
of their employees who will occupy them
regularly, free of charge. This is GER
tainly praiseworthy, and it is to be hoped
that others who employ a large number
of people, will follow the example The
above fact accompanied with the belief
that firm who would look SD closely at
ter the morals and welfare Of their EN-
ployees, would not impose upon the pub

A Valuable Invention.

A very satisfactory experiment has been
tried at Chicago in burning liquid or con-
centrated fuel 1t was tried as propel-
ling power in the case of locomotive.
The oil used is distilled from bituminous
shale. 1t is hydro-carbon oil, and be-
fore the natural oils were discovered, it
was distilled for the purpose of extract
ing the Illuminating oil. AS it contains
only twenty-five per cent of Illuminating
oil, it-cannot for that purpose compete
with the natural oils. 1t is estimated
that In 1863 there were seventy-four dis
tilleries of this kind in the United States;
now it is believed there are none. The
shale yields from sixty to one hundred
and twenty gallons to the ton, and exper-
iments on stationary boilers, and steam
ships, carefully made, have proved that
one and one-half barrels of oil are equal
to one ton of anthracite coal, seyen cubic
feet Of oil to fifty cubic feet of oil to fifty
cubic feet of coal and five cubic feet of
Oil to one hundred and tweuty-eight cubic
feet of wood. In the experiment under
consideration, the engine Desplaine took
from Chicago train of twenty-five cars,
fifteen OF which were loaded, to Wood
stock, distance Of ffty-one miles, max
ing regular railroad time. Abundant
steam was applied, and up the heaviest
grades the guage indicated a gain of six
teen pounds. The invention through
which the new fuel and motive power is
applied is the work Of Col Henry r.
Foote, of Boston. Il consists of a com
bination of superheated steam and at
mospheric air. forced into a perforated
combustion pipe with the oil.
The cfaaDo uanorIZac tho oil and tho
gives vitality to the fame by furnishing
oxygen to supply combustion. The ma
chlnery and apparatus consists of tank
on the engine, holding about four barrels
of oil, from which pipe leads down
through the foot bench in front of the
boiler into the fire box, connecting with
the combustion pipe In the fire. box the
perforated combustion pipe extends
across the bottom, and connects through
the front of the boiler by t point, with
an air pipe. The air pipe connects with
the blower, which forces the air into the
combustion pipe. There is also steam
coil in front of the fues in the box,
which is supplied with steam from the
boiler. The coil is inserted into the COM
bustlon pipe at right angles with the oil
pipe. The effect of the steam super
heated in the coil when it strikes the oil
is to instantly vaporize it. The oxygen
of the steam combines with the carbon of
the oil, and the hydrogen of the steam is
liberated and burns. The air forced into
the combustion pipes furnishes the addi-
tional oxygen, and the result is blue
flame of intense heat, and the entire COM
bustion of the oil, 1t is claimed that the
oil used is non-explosive and perfectly
cofa

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.

The New York Observer says large
and enthusiastic assembly crowded Stein
way Hall on Thursday evening, te
respond to call for a meeting in be
half Of Cuban independence, signed by
w. G. Bryant, Henry Ward Beecher,
George Wilkes, George W. Curtis, Chas.
A. Dana and others.
Mayor Hall presided and made the
opening address, taking first the eeono-
mical view of the subject, that not philan-
throphy alone but national and metropol-
itan selfinterest dictated policy of en-
couragement to the efforts of the Cubans.
In 1850 the Cuban trade was $l3, 900, 900;
last year it reached $53,000,000. Last
October. 127 Cuban patriots marched out
ike the men of Thermopyle, and now
they held one hundred and forty-seven
towns and villages. He could tell Spain
there was an ally marching in behalf of
the Cubans, greater than all the armies
Spain could send : the moral force of the
civilized world, and its protest against
her barbarities.
A series of resolutions expressive of
sympathy with the Cubans, who are
struggling for independence, was present
ed and adopted amid great applause.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in address,
sing the meeting, said he did moi agree
with the last speaker in the motive that
influenced the meeting. Self,interest
masked with philanthropy was not what
Cuba required. So long as Cuba was for
freedom and sacred independence in re-
igion she would have our confidence
Let her be left free to do that which her
own interest required. It was not that
we desired to shift her from the Spanish
to the United States colors. She should
be free because sheis separate territory;
Cuba is no province, but little continent
of herself, standing in such circumstances
as to be independent of this continent,
and certainly of the remoter jurisdiction
of Spain. He then referred to conflict
maintained on the island during the last
five months, and thought that if Spain
did hold the principal cities on the sea-
coast, the-patriots could hold the inter
Tor and keep the Spanish army and navy
at bay long enough to have their bellig-
Grant rights acknowledged. IF the peo-
pie in the interior could hear his voice he
would say to them. 'It is better to die
as heroes than live as slaves-better that
the island sink in the sea than to go
back again under Spanish rule

of promise The damages we're laid at
five thousand ponds, and she gained them
infull The impressional defendant, who
reaped nothing but ridicule from his
former advisers, throughout this trying
ordeal-which included protracted cross
examination by Sergeant Valentine, was
now brought to reason. He addressed
the young lady even more fervently than
before: II have behaved UNANIMOUSLY"

The Charge Of the Bright Brigade.
BY A SURVIVOR.

1.-THE following pleasant parody on Ten
nyson's famous Battle Ode appeared in
the Boston Transcript Of February 10,
1855. 1t was, at the tine, regarded as
the most successful CT the many attempts
to parodize the production of the Poet
Laureate, of England. "The Bright
Brigade refers to the German Cotil-
lion, which was, even at that time, the
tavorite closing dance of the private balls
in the. city of Boston. In the second
stanza the leader In the CotiIlion, is here
left in blank. TIE production of this
sprlglltly parody was ascribed to the
daughter of distinguished citizen of
Boston. The German Cotillion being
still the favorite dance in our city at the
present time, the reprint of the parody
may be OF interest to many who are now
enlisted in the Bright Brigade:
Round the room, round the room,
Round tine room, onward,
Like tcs-to-tum
Reyolyed the one hundred
Like tee-to-tum
