Ben. Taylor, a colored man living
in this place, has lately returned from
Washington, whittier he has been to
secure patent for new steam engine
which he has invented, and which,
if the judgment of many experienced
and scientific men to whom he has
shown his model is correct, is calculat-
ed to revOlutionize the present applica-
ton of steam. The engine is rotary,
having the steam applied at the cir
conference of a wheel, giving this
treble the force of ordinary engines,
with no distinguishing of power at
the various stages of the revolution
of the wheel. This invention dispenses
with all the machinery except the one
wheel, which answers at once the pur-
pose cylinder and driving wheel, and
two steam boxes through which the
steam is applied. 1t is estimated that
engines on this plan can be manu-
featured at one-fourth, or less, the cost
of those now in use, and their SIM
plicity and the possibility of making
them Of extremely light weight will
extend the use of steam engines beyond
the present limit. Ben. Taylor, the
inventor, is a sort of mechanical
genius, having before manifested an
insight into mechanics of no ordinary
degree. His invention, if nothing fails
and the probabilities are in his favor
will rank him among the first in
ventors of the day.-ZcOset2ttle, Mss,

The Southern Cultivator, for June,
lies before us. Its contents embrace
every planting interest, in style as
is varied and useful. AS an authority
it can always be consulted to advan-
tage, and as guide it will be safe and
reliable. The Cultivator has been con-
stantly growing in favor for years, but
it's circulation, though large, bears no
just proportion to its merits. It is
published by w. L. Jones, Athens,
Ga, at the extremely low price of So

The mass meeting called for Ward 3,
by a vote of 80 to 81 was adjourned
from Thursday to Tuesday, 18th inst,
on account of Indictment weather. The
attendance was ample for ward meet
ing, but many of the conventionists
thinking that fuller expression of
opinion can be had on Tuesday voted
with the anti-conventionists on the
question of adjournment. It amounts
to nothing-the ward was ours Thurs
day and it will be ours next Tuesday ;
it was merely staving off the dreaded
moment. Every ward in the parish
will be in line before next Saturday,
and certain men who consider them
selves the parish of Ouachita will be
politically at rest, to the peace and
well being of her inhabitants.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN LONDON.

But attend Queens draWinR-room
once; there you'll see dress, and,
above all, diamonds that will astonish
you. Perhaps it is not generally
known that the wonderful necklace Of
Marie Antoinette, that unsurpassed
historic mass of glittering splendor,
which was so costly that it brought
Marie Antoinette and the King, as
well as countless others, to the scat
fold, and let loose a revolution with
all its horrors, is now in the possess
sion of two or three great English fami-
lies, the gems unset and remountcd
into necklaces and bracelets and tiaras
which figure now at the generality of
the Queens draWing-rooms. The
bulk of the Empress Eugenie's gorge
Gus jewels were bought by English
women SO will those of the Queen
Dowager of Spain, when the sale of
her gems takes place in Paris next
month. The other night Lady Cork
gave fancy dress ball-a calico ball,
as they call this kind now, and Miss
Stephens, of New York, appeared as
an Indian squaw, her dress, though
composed of calico, being decorated
with hundreds of feathers of the cost
liest kind procurable. Lady Mande-

an italian girl, anything but a simple
costume, and wore her fine long hair
hanging straight down her back. The
Princess of Wales was a Pompadour In
calico, but was resplendent with thou
sands and thousands of pounds worth
of diamonds and pearls. The town Is
full just now Of lovely things, which
will be on exhibition here till Easter
Monday, when they must be sent to
Paris for the opening day. Among
others is complete set of china
dinner, dessert, tea and breakfast
the finest ever made In England.
The best judges declare the coloring
to be indistinguishable from Sevres
blue, while the landscapes on the des.
sert plates are perfection. Let the cost
of the whole tell the rest. The service
is worth $36, OOO-more than that,
really; the figure is 1000 guineas.
It is for an Australian millionaire,
who was left 100000 by his father.
The tea service so charmed the Queen
that she ordered it duplicated.

The great hope of society is individ-
ual character, because it not alone af-
fects the Individual himself, but also
the society in which he lives. Elmer
son says that the characters of men
make the conscience of society in which
they live. Benjamin Franklin attri-
buted all his success among men to the
character he established for himself
and not to any brilliancy of intellect.
Character is capital in itself. 1t is a
victory organized, and does not de-
pend upon birth, fortune or influence.
There is no capital goes so far or pays
so we'll, and bankruptcy in character
is seldom repaired in q life time. To
be disciplined, habits moulded and
controlled in obedience to reason and
moral conscience, and when properly
fashioned make the surest passport
through life. We find in everyday life
that when q person OF doubtful charac-
ter circulates a piece of news it is re-
ceived with suspicion, whereas, when
it is attributed to a man of character
people listen with eager interest and
conviction. The best time to test a
man of character is when the tide is
against him. George Washington
was q true example of man of great
character, who showed in times of dam
ger and difficulty force of will, q
tenacity of purpose, that have never
been surpassed. 1t is loss of charac-
ter that has filed prisons, poorhouses
and lunatic asylums, and only when
people appreciate the true worth of
character-how jealousy it should be
guarded and transferred as a precious
heritage to their offspring-will the
world furnish fewer causes of human
misery, sorrow and degradation.

The river continues to fall rapidly,
having fell no less than two feet since
our last report. Owing to the heavy
rains of this week it is probable that a
rise will soon set in here, or at least
have the effect of checking the rapid
decline, but up to this writing there
was no perceptible change. Neverthe-
less, there is plenty of water still left,
and the prospects for a late closing of
navigation are very good.
