Marriage.

II
riage relation occupies so much of the
public attention, the following views of
the late Theodore Parker on tins sub
iect are not without interest:
Men and women, and especially
young people do not know that it takes
years to marry two hearts even OF
the most loving and well assorted. But
nature allows no sudden change We
slope gradually from the cradle to the
summit OF life. Marriage is gradual, u
fraction Of US at a time. A happy we'd
lock is Il long falling in love, | know
young persons think love belongs only
10 the brown hair, and "A plump, round,
crimson cheek. So il does for its be
ginning. just as Mt Washington begins
at Bosom bay. But the golden mar
rage is part of love which the bridal
day knows nothing OF Youth is the
tas>el and sllkeu flower of love, age is
the fall cotn, ripe and solid in the ear.
Beautiful is the morning Of love, with
its prophetic crimson, violet, purple AMI
gold, with its hopes OF days that are to
come. Beautiful also is the evening at
love, with glad rrmcmbranccs, and lis
rainbow side turned toward heaven a.
well as earth. Young people marry
their oppos!tcs in temper aud general
character add such Il marriage is gen,
orally good match. They do it in
stinctiycly The young man does not
say my black eyes require to be wed
with blue, and my over vehemence re-
quifes to be litte modified with some
what OF dullncss aud reserve When
these opfo-ites come together to be
we'd they 10 not know it each thinks
the other jnzt like itself
Oh people never marry their opno
sites they marry their similars. and
from calcu!Atou Each Of these two
arrangements is very proper. In their
long journey, these two young pppo-
sites will fall ont by the way great
many times, and both get out of the
road, but each will charm the other
back again, aud by and by they will be
agreed as To the PLACE they will 20 to
aud the road they will 80 by, aud be-
come recongied. The man will be
nobIer aud larger for being associated
with so much humanity unlike himself,
aud she will be a nobler woman
Tor having manhood beside
her that seeks to correct her def
ciencies and supply her with what she
lacked, if the diversity be not too great,
and there be real pety and love in their
hearts to begin with The old bride
groom having much shorter journey
to make, must associate himself with
ono like himself Men and women are
married tractionally. Now small frac-
ton, then a large fraction Very few
are married totally, and they only, |
think, after some forty or fifty years oil
gradual approach and experiment. Such
a large and complete fruit is a complete
marriage that it needs very long Sum
mcr to ripen in, and then a long winter
to mellow and season it, But real
happy marriage of love and judgement
between noble man aud woman, is one
of the things 80 very handsome that il
the sun were, as the Greek poets tabled
god, he might stop the world in or
| der to feast his eyes on such spec
tacle."

After the Battle.

Considerating the general public interest
elected by the election Of county officers
Yesterday, there was very little excitement
manifested last night il consequence of
results. The returns received up TO late
hour last night, indicate very close con-
test between the candidates for Sheriff.
John Ferris, Esq, is probably elected
County Court Judge. The race for Clerk
of the Criminal Court is very closes not
enough being st present known to deter
mine with any degree of certainty as TO
results. For Trustee the race seems
narrowed down as between Messrs. AIRING
ION, Marshal and Davidson. The contest
for Revenue Collector seems very close be-
tween Messrs. Patterson and Sneed, The
election of r. S. Patterson for Jailor is very
probable but not certain. The figures indi-
cate The election of Messrs. Pickett aud
CrOsswait as constshies in the city district.
For Judge of the Supreme Court, the re-
turns received from different portions of the
State indicate the election of Hon. Robert

STEAM AGAINST HoR e Pc wER.
stilI Another Competisor for the One

Under this heading the New York Eren-
ing Post has the following article, which,
being in relation to Tennessee mechanics,
will he read with pleasure by our Peep e:
1.-The already large list of contestants for
the prize offered By the State for the bast
method Of applying steam TO the purp sc f
canal tOwage, has been increased ty The
addition of a new competitor, thu Doat p .rt
Byron. As this boat presents some new
points, we give byitf description of them
for the benefit Of interested readers.
The boat Eas built at Rochester during
the past winter by +. NJ Mahan. ESQ and
Capt. Prime En- erson. of Memphis, Tenn
essee. These gentlemen, cDnjOiDtly with
Messrs. Toof, Phillips & Co., of the same
city, are owners both Of boat aud 5a'ent.
The dimensions are ninety eight fee. long
by seventeen four inches breadth of beam
The bow is funnel shaped, and waterway
twenty-four inches wide by tw I've inches
in hight passes from it through the entire
leaeth of the boat.
The wheel is a vertical piddl', the inven
ton of Capt Emerson, and is placed in a
recess in the stem Of the boat at the end OF
the waterway; the buckets are arranged L.
such manner That they smooth the water
when leaving it, which, added TO the fact Of
the water being drawn through from The
bow Of the boat, admits of It's motion at any
sttainable rate Of speed with no perceptio!e
swell. The motive power is furnished by
two engines, twel'e-inch cylinder, and
twenty-fOur.inch stroke, working at rigb.
angles on the wheel crank.
The boat will carry captain and four
m u, and Is calculated TO Consume one ton
of hard coal in twenty-four hours, and to
run from three to five niles per hour.
The Port Byron was loaded yesterday by
J. W. Brigham & Co., with cargo Of
seven thousand one hundred bushels of
corn, and left for New 7 ork yesterday af-
ternoon at half past three O'Clock. The
boat has carrying capacity of two hua-
dred and ten tons; the load Yesterday only
reached two hundred tons, the standard re
quired by law. After leaving the ySsPk the
boat passed through the Ene basin and
Slip No. 8 into the canal, and steame down
TO Black Rock at the rate of a0ou' Three
and half miles an hour. When near Fer
ry street, and in the middle of the canal ,
where the depth of water should have been
seven feet, the boat, though not drawing
quite six feet, struck a rock aud unShipped
her rudder, which necessitated op for re-
pairs during which time our reporter left.
The idea illustrated by the Port Byron
seems practical, and the boat, so far, has
justified all expectations formed by her
owners. Whether they will receive the
mUch-coyerted prize re mains to be seen.

AN INLAND SEA THAT sNEvER
GIVES UPIES DEAD.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin writes from Lake Tahoe as fol
lows: "Some twelve or fourteen person S
have been drowned in this lake within the
past ten years; none Of the bodies have ever
been recovered. Superstition, ever ready
to weave a sensation from natures Laws,
asserted that there as doubtful my stery
In the non-reccvery of the drowned; that.
in fact, a monster had its abode in this
fresh water sea, and that the bodies all
pasted into his captCiOus NAV. The true
explanation of this mystery never has
been given. TIE BOn-appearaEee Of
the bodies is due to three causes.
The first is the great purify OF the
water and is consequent lack of buoyancy.
Drowning is very easy in it for tbs reason,
though | have not while swimming in 1t
found any more than OrdiDa y diff ulty in
sustaining myself The second and main
cause is due TO the great ecldness OF the
water. Even q. this, the warnest season,
the surface water is as cid as the drinker
desires it to be, but it is warm there COM
pared with its tempera ure at the depth OF
one hundred 10 two huLdred feet. 1t IS as
cold there as the arctic hears of an iceberg.
When body ST ks 10 the lake to the depth
rp0ulT6u, ITULcn StlAts pAOSCSOf
course, preserves it, 50 that the gas which
originates in the body from decay in 0 her
water is prevented, and distepsion checked.
The body Is thus kept in a state OF
greater specific gravity than the water in
which it is appended, d hereby prevent
ed from rising to the surface. The third
cause lies in the great pressure OF the pure
water on anything which is sunk to great
depth IL 1t. Cofks placed on deep-sea nets
are pressed down IN a week to half their
size; and one OF the oldest residents of the
lake expresses the belief that by :he time
a mans body has been suspended for a
week at depth of about 200 feet Git is not
likely that it ever reaches the cavernous
and almost fathomless bottom OF the great
lake,, the compression Of the water hasre
duced its size to that of a child's. Doubt
less the idea of uncofiued suspension in
such a 'world of water is not pleasant
one to contemplate; but to be pressed into
a sold mass and suspended in liquid coz
fin of ice temperature, is quite as pleasant
as interment and modering in the ground"
