VALUABLE INvEETIoNr--Gen.

VALUABLE INVENTION .---Een. E. C. Ti]ghn1an, of Philadelphia has invented aud patenterd new method of engaviDg and cutting any hard substance, which seems destined to work a revolution in many Of our mos, deffict,lt and dis. agreeable trades. The invention is called the .'sand.blast engrav- ing prncess." It consists, essen. tialiy, in driving 2 jet of sand, by some mechanical power, againts the surface to be engraved or cut. The effect is wonderful. Glass of an inch thick has been perforated in five seconds. 4 hardened steel drill was drilled through in one minute. The jet acts not by scrap ing the object acted upon, but by fairly pulverizing It into dust. The unsatisfactory power that can be used in steam. When particula. pattern is to be cut, the parts of the glass, iron or stone which are to be left intact, are covered with rnh- Der or cement, and the jet takes effect only on the exposed parts.
 The advantages of the process are its quickness and cheapness. Under eighty pounds of steam the sand-blast will cut three cubic inches of granite per minute. It can be applied with especial utility to the excavation of tunnels, and is susceptible of g great variety of other uses.

FORGIVEN Too LATE.-A X very sad case hasjust occurred in Boston. Some years ago a wealthy young lady of Newport, Rhode Island, married, nominally beneath her station. Her parents disinherited her. She and her husband went to Boston, where a series of mis- fortunes encountered them, end ing in his prostration with a fatal, but protracted illness. She was compelled to takein sewing to sup. port herself and husband. Her work was so very fatiguing that she took opiates to relieve erpaih and exhaustion. Last week she was found dying from an overdose of laudanum. Her husband died the same day, and the very Jay before they died, but too late for either of them to know it, 8 dis patch arrived from her parents annoucing a desire for D recon ciliation, and urging her to write them immediately, letting them know ofher welfare, etc.

coyYER's REPORT.

The official report Of BeWst Col. yer is before rs. IL is the greatest piece of fabrication ever put ln print. He says that "the Apach es have been seeking the friendship of the Americans for fifteen years" i" Celyer knows that that tribe only want peace when they want ammunition and presents from their 'great father" at Washington. and the moment they are supplied they go again rpon the war-patb; and therefore Colyer knows thnt when he wrote that he lied. He says, further, that the citizens of Arizona will not allow the Indians to remain peace ful, that by their "actsof inhunan treachery and cruelty made them our implacable foes." Again we must remind that man of his lying proclivities. It has always been the wish of our people to be on friendly terms with the Indians, and in proof of that fact we would call attention to the Yamas, Coco pah, Hualapais, and other tribes, who are employed and fed by the whites. They are entitled to Gov ernment rations, but those very ones who profess to Glove" and proprose to "uplift" them, only allow them, for one months sub- sistence, two pounds of -four for each adult. But we have strayed from our subjec.-'revenons nos motions. Our people do not want war, but peace. Beast Colyer has the impudence to speak of treach- cry. What can be more treacher- ous than to turn against one's own countryman 10 smile upon his foe? Colyer, you are the worst savage of the lot, and we thank Heaven that your authority will not per nit you to have US scaiped. Cruelty? IndeedI very cruel are we-but, unfortunately, to our our selves and to those whose graves gape for vengeance. Were we to deal justice unto the Apaches, even before ,ourt of law, not one would escape that which you, Mr. Colyer. so richly deserved while in this Te:ritory-the hangman's rope.

A SUGGESTION FOR ENGLAND.

The Fnglishmea in India arc in great trouble because they have no mode of punishment sufficiently severe to efiectuaiiy terrify the hearts of the natives. Blowing from the mouths of cannon has been found too mild a measure to create an adequate degree of con- sternation; while as for hanging, that operation is looked upon by the dindoos as merely g speedy dispatch to paradise. The Delhi Gazette, in this emergency, makes several suggestions in relation to & suitable mode ef treatment to he adopted with the East Indian sub-
 gc.s of Britain. It proposes that any native of India who murders 6 European hall,upon conviction, be branded in the forehead with a large M to denote his crime.
 Then both of his arms are to be amputated above the elbow. Af- ter this he should be transported to England for twenty-one years. sent round the Cape confined in an iron cage, whipped once month, and at the hour of the day on which he committed the murder, exhibited with the wild beasts in the Tower of London, during the whole period of his transportation.
 If the man survives ali this when the q years have expired. instead of releasing the poor wretch he is 10 be put to death by decapitation, his body given for dissection, and burned if the felon be & Mussulnan, or buried if a Hindoo. This disposition of the victim's remains is 70 be made in order to destroy his hopes of sal yat;on in future state. Whether the method proposed by the Ga- zctte will be adopted or not re- mains to be seen. It would be in full keeping with many Of the measures adopted by the British in India in their treatment 1.-the

4 NOTABLE CAsE.-There is a suit in progress at the Cork assizes in Ireland that attracts considera- ble attention, and will doubtless win s place for itself among the causes celebres of that country.
 The parties are step-brothers, and the property in dispute is the valuable estate of Leitrim. The elder brother is the plaintiff, al- leges that his father, Jeremiah Campion, married his mother,after which they both went to India and lived there together for ten years, when the mother died. Soon after Campion married again, and the defendant is the eldest son of the second wife. When Campion re- turned to Ireland & few years ago, he declared that the plaintiff was an ilIegitimate child, ,and made an affidavit to the effect, upon which evidence the son by his second marriage succeeded to the estate as his heir. The plaintiff claims that this affidavit was procured while the affiant was under the in- fiuenoe of liquor. To furnish an additional element of romance to the case, the register of the church where it is alleged that the first marriage was celebrated, has been stolen. The prosecution of this suit is carried on by the issu~ of debontures, as in the Tichborne case.

WASHINGTON CITY.
The New York papers are varying their stand

The New York papers are varying their stand
ing topic OF the political situation by a discus
sion OF the probable results of the eight hour
labor strike. Two or three points are presented
IN this discussion worthy of attention. 1t is
argued that the wOrkingmen, themselves, will
be the first to throw of the rule adopted by
some of the Unions fOrbidding members to work
more than eight hOnrs for extra paw. With
many the two hours OF leisure may be pleasant
fO< a week or two, but then it will become irk-
some; then they will be anxious to expend their
spare time and surplus energy in lettering their
fortunes. II robust and energetic men, hoping
some day to be their own employers, cannot be
allowed TO lay up a little extra money in two or
more hours of extra work, they will know the
reason why. Again, IT is predicted that, as a
first consequence of the strike for eight hours
work for ten hours pay, the mechanics of every
PORTION of the Union and of Europe would
crowd 10 New York TO obtain this high reml-
neTatiOn for limited labor, or else the working
n.en OF the whole United States and of Europe
must obtain the same concessions from their
employers. Probably, however, the working
men here count upon their acton being followed
by the old world At any rate, they DO not
seem to be frightened by the fear of glut in
the labor market here through European com
petition. There is something, however, in the
point that if the laborers of the whole Union
and of Europe obtain similar concessions from
their employers, the production of the world
will be decreased twenty per cent; hence the
enjOyments of humanity would be correspond
hgly decreased, unless We determine to con-
sumo our capital-and this would soon reduce
production and enjoyment to a considerable ex-
tent, for capital produces more than labor,
although it cannot do SO without the co-opera-
ton OF the latter.

Washington, cannot please everybody. They
were goaded by the newspapers into q war on

This is objected to by the journalists, a class

health men savagely. He says there is no know
ing where their rage for republican simplicity
