The Last Of the Old Collins Line.

The last Of the once famous Collins
line Of steamers-the Atlantic-has at
last disappeared from the list of Ameri-
can ships. The Arctic and Pacific
were lost on voyages between this
port and Liverpool; the Baltic re-
manned idle for several years, when she
was altered into a sailing ship, and
after making one or two good voyages to
San Francisco, was sold to go under
foreign flag the Adriatic, the youngest
and finest Of the line, was also sold to
90 abroad, and now the Atlantic, after
many years Of idleness, has been taken
to Cold Spring harper, Long Island,
to be broken up for old iron and cop
per The career Of these ships was u
memorable one, and the final disap-
pearancc Of the old Atlantic, which we
believe was the pioneer Of the line, re-
calls the halcyon days Of the American
shipping interests--days when such
multiplicity Of the flags Of all nations,
as may now be seen in our harbor,
would have been regarded as a~strange
sight indeed

THE CAREER OF 1 COOUETTE.
A Curious Ui~tory--Secrctly Married.
Once Deserted, and Then Diyorced--
How she Took Her Eeycng
From the New York Herald.

Ho~ she Took Her Revenge.
From the New York Herald.
A few years ago the daughter of Il
wealthy and aristocratic family of Els
worth, Ulster county, ut that time
noted belle of about IS years, bru.
nette of marvellous beauty, with Gre
clan features, dark, expressive eyes,
and black, lustrous hair, eXquisitely
formed, and possessed of the highest
order of attainmcnts, fell hopelessly
in love with q Young man OF somewhat
questionable character, and was mar
RED to him privately.
Soon after this event the newly
fedged husband deserted her and went
to California, she following pursuit.
Upon her arrival there she took up her
residence in San Francisco, and began
I searching for her lord. At last one
/ evening she found him promenading
Montgomery street and beseeched him
to return with her, which he promised
/ to do. Accordingly, a few days after,
they started homeward. About a
month after their return ne again de-
serted her, and fled second time TO
California, where he subsequently OBJ
tanned divorce.
a year had scarcely elapsed since her
desertion, when she, more charming
than ever, left her seclusion, and APP
peared as II bright and shining star III
society, attracting to her side countless
suitors. Among them was & young
Jeweler, who was very devoted and pro
fuse in his addresses. The lady did
not repulse him, but on the contrary,
seemed hattered with his attentions,
and apparently reciprocate his atfec-
tons.
In the same village was young man
from Pennsylvania, stylish and attract
i've, and versed in all those little arts
which serve to please and captivate.-
He also became infatuated with the la.
dy, and sought to supplant the ieweler
in her affections. She, however, treat
ed him coolly, and apparently gave him
little encouragement. After short
courtship it was rumored that the lady
and the jeweler We're engaged, when the
Pennsylvania relinquishel his atten-
tons. The rumOr was at first not gem
orally credited, MS it was known she
cOOlu uoU laHluIN marry but when IL
became known that the wedding day
was appointed for Aug, 27 the gossips
were IN high glee, and the approaching
nuptials were the theme ofgeneral COM
meut. 1t was announced that the wed
ding was to be Il grand affair, in keep
ing with the family position of both par
ties. The bride had prepared an extern
sive outfit, costly bridal gifts were pur-
chased, and invitations sent both far
and near Indeed, the affair was to be
gilt-edged throughout.
But on the evening prior to the APP
pointed marriage day the friends of
both BRIDE and groom were shocked
and intensely mortified by the an
nouncement that in the afternoon the
lady had privately left her fathers
house, and, meeting the Pennsylvania
gentleman Mt an appointed rendezvous,
had been driven to a clergyman's res
idence and there married, the happy
pair starting for Pennsylvania on their
bridal tour Immediately after The
forsaken lover is disconsolate, and his
/ friends now threaten to have the lady
indicted for bigamy.

Gregg Yarn.

In n recent number of DR. Reimans
Overs Gazette, we find some interest
ing statement in regard to the so-called
Gregg yarn. This yarn is spun of wool
and silk, and combines the greatest
strength with the utmost tineness, and
cannot be replaced by either silk or
wool alone in the manufacture of long
shawls where it serves as warp. This
was first and for many yeaas exclusive
" made in France, 50 that in its manu-
facture the French were enabled to
monopolize the markets of the world.
The Germans, in beginning the cultiva-
ton OF this branch of industry, were
obliged to import the Gregg yarn. In
spinning this yarn there are great and
peculiar difficulties. No silk must APP
pear in the fabric; only just enough of
1t being added to the wool to insure
the combination Of the greatest strength
and fneness. Yet, it is said, that in
Germany, especially in Berlin, all the
difficulties in the way OF spinning this
yarn have been overcome, and the ia
brics manufactured from it there even
surpass in strength those made in
France

4 Happy Report.

Unitarians generally believe in the
divinity but not the deity Of Christ 1t
is said that on one occasion couple Of
evangelical ladies' went to labor with
the Rev. Samuel ). May on his heresy
in that particular He met them very
kindly, and his beaming face and cor.
dial manner quite confused them. At
last one of them said, Owe have come
to You with a message from the Lord F"
He Dlandly replied, "Ihere is no one
from whom / should be so glad TO hear.
DO tell me what it is. - After long
pause, one Of them began with, "Mr.
May, / have heard that you do not be-
leye in the divinity Of Jesus Christ. >
Mr. Nay Immediately responded, " You
never heard that from the Lord, for the
Lord knows | do. The excellent Ia
dies found they had mistaken their
mission.

steam Canal Propulsion.

The Rochester Union says: "A
boat invented by William and Jabez
Walker and Manson +. Gibbs, OF Lii
vonia, intended to compete for the
money offered by the state for the pur-
pose of more ofiectually introducing
steam power on the canal, made it's
first trial upon Hemlock lake Yesterday.
Some of the machinery was imperfect,
and, after failure ut the start, the
boat surprised all bcholders by its
speed. II performed Letter than the
inventors expected. There is no wheel
on the boat it is propelled by moving
paddles back and forth under it; and
the best and shortest description we can
give of it is to compare it TO drawing
large fish with very large fins on its
belly back and forth through the water
III the centre of the bottom Of the boat.
The paddles resist the water when going
forward, and give way to it when going
back. The machinery is cheaply made,
and we see no reason why it will not be
durable and easily kept in order

Strength of The Beetle.

1t is said that a beetle once moved a
weight one hundred and twelve times
greater than its own, in this manner :
The insect was put beneath a quart
bottle full Of milk upon a table, the
hollow at the bottom allowing him
room to stand upright. Presently, TO
the surprise of all in the room, the bot
tie began slowly to move and glide
along the smooth table, propelling by
the muscular power OF the imprisoned
insect, and continued for some time to
pcramhuIate the surface. The weight
Of the bottle and its contents could not
have been less than three pounds and n
half, while that OF the beetle was about
half an ounce, 50 that it readily moved
"a weight one hundred and twelve times
exceeding its own. 4 better notion
than figures can convey will be obtain
cd at this feat by supposing a lad off
teen to be imprisoned under the great
bell at St Paul's, which weighs $4,000
pounds. and TO move it to fro upon a
smooth pavement by pushing within
against the side.

Radical Changes in the English Govern.
mcnt.

The London Times Of Aug. 23d, in an
editorial on the Parliamentary labors of
1871, says that the results Of the ses-
sion are Of a character to be long re-
membered in the Kingdom. All the
constitutional changes are in a Demo
cratic direction. The electors are be
coming more and more the depository
Of power, and it is row sought to en-
scoHcc the vote w.Chln the strong walls
Of the ballot-box At the same time
tie prize which has walked out Of the
royal stable has been placed at the dis
posal Of its new master 1t thinks the
changes effected by the Government
form a new era in the history Of Great
Britain.

Coal.
From the Greeley Tribune.

A valuable bed Of coal has recently
been discovered, near Golden, which is
reported to be Is feet thick; and the
specimen we have received resembles
canal coal, though it is not likely to be
this variety Another discovery, of
almost equal Importance, is announced
up the Platte, above Denver. 1t now
seems that the coal field, along the
base of the mountains, is likely to to
developed to remarkable extent
That region Of the Foot Hills, immedi-
ately west of rs, and from 10 to 20
miles distant, should prove equally
rich, but, as yet, no shafts have been
sunk, indeed little or no prospecting
has been done. The shafts opened
near our town, and from which coal was
obtained last Winter, exposed only thin
veins; and to get paying coal it VIII be
necessary either to sink deeper, or, to
90 nearer the mountains. However,
the discoveries near Denver should
give MS coal next Winter ut a cost not
to exceed 50 a ton.

A Pleasant Induccmen; In Marriage,

The London correspondent to the

circumstances. About three years ago.
the Earl of Normanton died, leaving

had two sons and one daughter, and
in his will was a clause to the effect
that he believed that happiness in this

married state; that he regretted his
second son was single, and that I'M
less he married by a certain given date
he was only to enjoy q comfortable
competence, whereas if he would mate
by the time named he should have a
handsome fortune. About a month
ago q near relative of Mr.. 4 gar told me
that apparently there We're no signs of
his intention to comply with the terms
of his fathers will, but two days ago
the announcement of his marriage to a

that the bulk OF his fathers fortune
came out of the revenues of the Irish
Church. The first Earl OF Normanton
