VIM. H. SIMPsON.-A mere mention of this mans death, by the Apaches, was made last week. He was killed alongside of Lieut.. Cushing. From driblets of conversation at one time and another, we learned from Simp- son that he was a native of England :; had gone to school in Paris when a boy, and came to America when a young man. Had been somehow engaged in the fur-t trade in the North west and Canada, but on account of health, went to South America, and from Chili and Peru, came north along the west coast, until he finally stop ped in Sonora several years, where he owned and worked silver mines. Owing to the disadvantages attending that business there, he left his inter ests and came up to Arizona, and has since been prospecting around Tucson. Simpson was a man everybody liked who got acquainted with him, and his untimely taking off was sickening to hear of. It is the usual sad task to re- late, that the best blood-the brave, energetic, enterprising and deserving of their kindred and country, are doomed to death on the border, and no particular clue left whereby their fathers, mothers, &c. may ever know their fate.

IT is no new thing for Democrats to
plant themselves on the Constitution.
They have done it from the earliest days
of our political history. 1t is nothing
more that they profess to do now. Not
only do they intend to hold fast by its
authority as the sheet-anChOr of safety
now, but they are resolved to hold the
Radicals to it also. The Democratic
dOctIiDe is, that the Constitution is the
supreme law of the Union, to be respected
and obeyed in all its parts. 1t is to be &C
cepted as whole, none of its provisions
being ignored or distorted for partisan
ends. The amendments being part of
the instrument, they p0ss IS equal
authority with the original body The
whole is received by Democrats as the
rule tor the country in its federative capa-
city. 1t is precisely the same ground in
respect to the amendments that was taken
by Massachusetts Democrats two years
ago. This being well established, we
have but to address ourselves to the living
questions Of the hour. They are man
and weighty, and demand the most serious
thought. Radicalism prefers to evade
them, and raise issues that are dead or
irrelevant; but the Democracy will push
on to the adjustment of what is urgent
and alive Both the State and National
Democratic Conventions will fully express
this determination. They will take posi-
zion on the Constitution IS il is, and
demand its Just and equal enforcement
throughout the Union. Ard on this I'M
shaken basis they will advance to the re
moval OF abuses in government, the Testo-
ration of sound principles Of administra-
ton and the relief of a tax ridden country.

COrkibg Bottles from the Inside.

A NEW kind of soda water bottles is
now rapidly taking the place OF the ones
hitherto commonly in use, and viii by
next season, no doubt, be generally adopt
ed everywhere where soda water is bottled.
1t is fact, to which all in this business
testify, that one of the principal expenses
III bOttIlng soda water, etc, Is the cost OF
the cork. The expense of cOrks for a
bottle used the average number Of times
during one season, largely exceeds the
cost of the bottle, as the cork serves but
once, and is then lost Besides, in conse-
quence of defective corks, much leakage
ensues, causing loss of labor and material
Securing corks in the bottle by means Of
wires or strings also adds largely to the
cost 1t has, therefore, long been de-
slderatum with the manufacturers and
bottlers of soda water, to find substitute
for cOrks which could serve more efieclu-
ally than these, and then remain attached
TO the bottle, and serve to close it q num-
Der OF times, or, In fact, as long as the bot
tie Itself should last. After many expert
ments, this was at last practically accom-
pushed by having stopper made of glass,
or some other material, which closes the
bottle from the inside, and is Of such a
size that it cannot escape with the LIQUID

always remain inside ready for use. This
new patent bottle is, therefore, closed from
the inside. The stopper, being somewhat
longer than the internal diameter of the
bottle. cannot turn over, and the proper
end Of it is thus always presented TO the
mouth OF the bottle. This, while in an in
verted position, is filed by machine in
vented for the purpose, Being chiefly
composed of hard wood or glass, heavier
than the liquid in the bottle, the stopper
falls readily to its seat and is here sustain
I'D by the inside pressure of the water,
when the bottle is full The greater the
pressure, the tighter the stopper fits, and
leakage is thus rendered impossible Be-
sides, this bottle has the advantage over
the old style, that no instrument, knife, etc,
is required TO open it and remove the cork.
smart blow with the hand upon the top
OF the stopper, which protrudes about
hall an inch over the mouth of the bottle,
causes 1t to fall to the bottom, and the in
closed liquid is al oAe liberated, without
any tailVre or tedious efforts to get the
cork out To prove its practicability, we
opened quite number of bottles filled
with soda water and wines impregnated
with caroonlc acid gas and corked in this
novel manner, which seemed to US entire
y successful. -AppISt0n's Journal.

And he wished no better, and asked no more,
Than to lay il all at her feet.
But che put his gifts and his vows aside,

So can not mate with thee

And -si he best way her soul to save

Grants Nepotism.

In our judgement this drove Of relatives
of the President and his family, fattening
in public places is an evil spectacle. The
general sentiment is that it is at least in
shameful taste. Republican orators and
editors, as rule, make excuses tor the
President about this business. but they do
it with hesitancy and shamefscedness.
They usually claim that it is mere weak
ness of a man who has done so much for
his country that he is entitled to few
frailties- The example of the Chief Mag
istrate is, however, doing mischief Our
public Offices are filled with families.
Drunken sons, and stupid brothers in law,
and worthless cousins abound in the Federal
offices throughout the land, and greatly
demoralize the public service.-Cincin-
