The DRY Dock,

The convenience and economy of the dry
dock was again demonstrated on Saturday.
The steamer Lake Nepigon, of the Beaver line,
which was being loaded for an outward voyage
was locked in order to make some slight re-
pairs to her screw, which it was found imposs-
BILE to effect as she lay at the wharf. She was
fioated in at about half-past 1 in the afternoon,
and in two hours sufficient was pumped out to
enable the necessary examination to be made
and the needed repairs were at once begun. The
great capacity of the dock is appreciated when
large vessel like our present class of ocean
steamers is placed in it. The Lake Nepigon is
500 feet long and So feet beam, and measures
upwards of 1900 tons English measurement.
and on Saturday had about HOO tons of freight
on board, yet she looked very small inside the
limits of the great basin. The extreme length
of the dock is over 400 feet, breadth SO feet
and depth of water over the sill at high tide q
The pumps are of sufficient capacity to empty
the dock in from three to four hours A large
number of people were present on Saturday to
witness the process of docking.

THE President has appointed a col.
lector in Maine that will probably
cause about the same trouble and dis
cord that has distinguished his ap.
pointment in New York. At the re-
quest of Hale, one of the new Sena.
tors from that State, Gen. Smith, for
two years the acceptable Collector OF
Customs at Bangor, who is said to be
a very prominent and popular Repub-
lican, has been removed to make room
for Ex-Governor Davis, who was de-
feated for reelection last fall. Davis
was a candidate for Senator and stood
in the way of Hale, and it is said this
appointment is the consummation OF
a bargain by which Davis was Undue
ed to retire from the Senatorial con-
test. Gen. Smith and his friends are
not pleased with the trade.

We are glad to notice that the i'm
provement of the Susquehanna river,
so as to render in navigable for steam
vessels of light draft, is beginning to
attract public attention. The project
is one of entire feasibility and the won
der is that intelligent effort in this di-
rection has not long since received the
united and earnest efforts Of the peO-
pie interested in this noble river. And
now, that "internal improvement" has
been permanently established as a iea-
ture of annual national expenditure.
instead of appropriating the public
money TO clearing out trout streams
for the amusement of special members
of Congress in wild locations, let a
combined and concentrated effort be
made to secure the appropriation of a
reasonable share of the money that
may fall to Pennsylvania and other
States directly interested, to make the
Susquehanna what nature intended it
TO be-a great National and State tho
roughfare for commerce and trade
We recollect that in the early days Of
the introduction of our canal system
of internal improvement, this question
of rendering the Susquenanna naviga-
BILE for steam vessels was discussed,
and one of the first Commissioners, a
citizen of this county and a practical
and learned engineer, took the ground
that this plan was not only practica-
bic but less expensive than the system
of canals proposed. lie was deemed
visionary at the time, and the unfor-
tunate system of canals was adopt
ed. This Commissioner was Charles
Trcziyulny, and subsequent events are
not wanting to prove the accuracy of
of his judgment. The proposition now
agitated to hold n convention of citi-
zens of New York, Pennsylvania, Ma
ryland and Delaware, who are perhaps
most directly interested, with a view
TO make the Susquehanna navigable,
is timely and proper, and should be
promptly called at an early day. 1t
is no discredit to the enterprise, that
they now propose to do what our old
friend Trcziyulny urged upon the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania more than half
century ago.

Gus sign, and believed to be n foreru1-
ner of death. Sometimes it appears in
the form of plain tallow-oandlc in the
hand of ghost, and at other times it
looks like a ''statoly flambeau, stalking
along unsupported, burning with q
ghastly blue fame" 1t is considered
dangerous to interfere with this fatal
potent; and persons who have attempt
Cd to check its course are reported to
have come severely to grief. many ac-
tuaIly being struck down where they
stood, rs a punishment for their audac-
ity. A Carmarthenshire tradition, re-
corded by Mr.. Writ Skies, relates that
one day, when the coach which runs
between Llandilo and Carmarthen was
passing by Golden Grove, three corpse
candles were observed on the surface
of the water gliding down the stream
which runs near the road. All the pas
sengers saw them. A few days after,
some men were about to cross the river
near there, when one Of them expressed
his fear at venturing, as the river was
flooded. and he remained behind. Thus
the fatal number crossed the river
three three corpse-candies having forc-
told their fate; and all were drowned.

called another dignified Senator liar

N6y- The extra session of the Senate
has given the Bourbons an opportunity
to learn that there is one Southern man
they can't buy or intimidate.
pay-Senator Brown has established his
claim to be the champion wobbler Of
the Senate. His record, as unfolded by
himself, shows that the only reason he
has not made q halfdozen profitable
..bargains" in as many years, is that he
could at no time find the Republicans
ready to treat with him.

every time he stirs it there is emitted
an odor which is far from pleasant. A

Dental candidate, can indulge in just at
present.

pendent and think for myself now, or

that somebody else did his thinking for
him when he was in the Senate, and the
question at once arises. Who is doing

Senators, Hill and Brownp 1t is an aw-
full responsibility to put upon anybody.
14- Wade Hampton has only made
q beginning. He is in the first chapter
of a very long story. If he will tell 1t
all, the revelation will be the most in
teresting one this country ever beheld.
He says that he never knew personally
of any tissuo-ballot frauds, and never
in any way countenanced them. No
man knows better than he that if it had
not been for these frauds Democratic
Legislature could not have been chosen
in South Carolina. and that if there had
not been a Democratic Legislature
Wade Hampton would not now be a
United States Senator. He "counte-
nanced" these frauds when he con-
sented to accept his election to the
Senate, and he continues to "counte
nance" them every day he holds bis
seat.

Confessions Of an Amateur Cook.

From '49 till '52, or until men COM
menced to import their wives, the male
population of California was one com.
posed largely of amateur cooks. Every
mans hand was necessarily more or
less in the dough, and his finger in the
pie. Out of ali these few fine cooks
were developed, more tolerable ones,
and q vastresiduum of miserable bakers
and broilers. This was noticeable in
bread when loaves and hot biscuits took
the place of flapjacks. Good bread
makers, male and female, are born, not
made. Genius of any description can
not be educated into human soul.
That indefinite, impalpable, intangible
and indescribable something which en-
ables one person to get his loaves or
crust light and spongy while others
secure only the consistency of plaster
Paris or gutta percha belongs to the
same order of mysterious causes which
sway the poets pen, the painters brush
and the sculptor's chisel. The mind
must go into the bread or it comes forth.

my loaves. Some were heavy, some
heavier, some within were greenish
yellow in hue from excess of saleratus.
These killed not so quickly, but quite
as surely as the rattlesnake. The outer
crusts of some of my loaves were of an
adamantine hardness, while the inte-
riors, to which the necessary caloric
had not had due access, from overmuch
rapidity in baking. were hot, soft.
viscid and glutinous mass, when taken

know nothing about it, say is the earth's

short many a good mans career. 1t
was the crime Of ignorance, however.
