A TENNESSEE INVENTION.

From the Washington Republican, May 20
Judge Maynard, of tennessee, has pat
ented a propeller wheel, which, it is claim
ed, will propel a vessel at higher rate of
speed. with the same amount of steam-poW-
er. than the screw low in use. The pecul-
iariLy of his wheel consists in so arranging
the blades in a convex form that the water
is th-own from the vessel in a line with the
propeller's axis, thus preserving the power
which is now expended in overcoming the
lateral resistance Of the water to the blades
of the propeller. The experiments with a
small model have been so satisfactory that
the Secretary of the Navy directed Chief
Engineer W. W.WOod, United States navy,
to make such experiments with the May
nard wheel as will demons rate its eftlcien-
cy. Engineer Wood will place the wheel
upon one of the steam launches at the navy
yard for these experiments, and il these ful-
fill the claims made by the inventor 1t is the
intention of the Secretary to adopt it for
the use of the navy.

THE CHOLERA EXCITEMENT.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "The
anpual scare about cholera has COM
menced. 1t is a little in advance Of the
usual time, and may be justly said to be
forcing the SEASON. There have been symp-
toms of this fright in New Orleans for seV.
eral weeks. The latest dispatches show
that the dread has fallen upon Louisville.
The Mayor of that city has ordered the
proper precautions against the disease,
which is the act of prudence. A few days
ago it was reported in this city that pas
senger on steamboat had died from an at
tack of cholera while on the upward pas
sage. As a little spark kindle.h great
fire, considerable trepidatiOn has doubtless
fallen upon the community through fear
that this epidemic will fall upon this city as
it did IN 1866.
This frightIs to be deprecated in every
aspect but oae. If it SHALL serve to stimu-
late the proper authorities to spread an
unusual cleanliness over the city, an ad-
vintage will be gained in any event. But
the slarm is unquestionably groundless
Cholera is 8 mysterious, terrible disease 1t

hours settles tie question Of bis life or death.

THE POLARIS.
The Antecedents Of Tyson and Bud
dingtOn. ...-.. +

TysOn's Record.
NEW YORK, May "a gentleman Of
this city who has been connected with a
shipping house in New London, Conn,
which formerly employed both Capt. Tyson
and Capt. BuddingtOn makes number OF
interesting statements in regard to the dis
position Of these men whose characters the
reports received thus far seem TO place in
such strong contrast. Capt. Tyson some
six or seveR years ago was in command OF
the schooner Era on a whaling voyage from
New Loudon to Greenland. In the fall OF
the year in Cumberland sound the vessel
broke from her moorings and he was oblg-
ed to abandon her with all his crew, twenty
four men. Taking with him stores and
provisions and making his way to shore, ne
built tents of the sails taken from the vessel
and lived under them during the winter.
His vessel was i've miles from shore in
pack of ice without anchorage. When the
ice broke up, seeing the ship was not Sc
riously damaged, be regained it, filled It
with oil and returned to New London. Iy-
son is described a, brave, dashipg Capt
who will expose his vessel to the dangers
of an arctic winter up to the very last mo-
ment of safety, and will often accomplish
brilliant results.
BuddingtOn's Record.
BuddingtoH, on the other hand, is care
full, calculating Y ankee, noted for his seru-
pulous guardianship of the property and
lives under his charge. His New London
neighbors are reported to have predicted
when the expedition started that Budding
ton would bring back his vessel and crew
in safety, and that scientific results would
be subordinated so far as he was concern
ed to this end. He is man of family end
experience.
Both men are old whaling captains and
have made eight or ten voyages each. Capt.
Buddington brought into New London the
Resolute, one of Sir E. Belcher's expedition
which was abandoned May 10, 1854, not
far from Beechy island. Capt. Budding
ton was then on whaling voyage.
Probable Safety OF the POIaris.
The impression seems to be general
among shipping men that the Polaris is safe
and may be expected the latter part of Sep
tember or the first part of October. Capt.
Tyson once returned as early as Augu't
%, but this was the earliest arrival on re-
corr.
