As they echo our peals of laughter
It seems that the dead are there!
But stand to your glasses steady .

Of the soul shall sting no more.

The Rteam engine waa invented, or, rather, the
principle discovered, by the Marquis of Worcester.
as early ae 16(10. Pew understood and none encouraged it. He died in great mortification. The
hooor was afterwards engrossed by Savary.
In 1765 the Earl of Stanhope applied the steam
engine to propelling a vessel. A steamboat was
run twenty mileB on the Sankey Canal, Liverpool,
in 1707, aud another on the Forth and Clyde Canal
in 1801. A steamboat trip was made on the Delaware as early as 1791.
Ia 1807. when Robert Fulton was fitting np his
first steamboat at New York, respectable, and sen-
Bible, and gray-headed men pronounced him "8
fool for his pains."
Oliver Evans went before committees of Legislatures, first in Pennsylvania, aod then in Maryland,
with a project of a steam carriage, as early aa
1804. He aaked a little aid to defray the expense.
They could hardly be prevented from reporting in
favor, not of steam engines for carriages, but of a
■strait jacket for himself. Now, almost all nations
have had the sagacity and ingenuity to seize and
utilize the precious idea.
Whan Peter the Great, in 1700, or thereabouts,
commenced a canal between the Wolga and tbe
Don, the Governors and Boyarda of the country
opposed it earnestly, thinking it impiety to turn |
rivers out of the channels which Heaven bad as-j
signed thera.
When some Dutchmen proposed to make the river Mauzanares navigable to the Tagua, and thence
to LiBbon. the Council said if it bad beeu the will
of God that tberivera should be navigable, he
would have made thera bo.
When Brinley, the great engineer, told a committee of Parliament to wliomBridgewater's petition was referred, that canalB were better than ri-
Ters, aud would supercede them for the purpose of

Dr. Franklin surveyed tlie route of the Delaware
and Chesapeake Oanal, at his own expense in 1757
Baron Napier surveyed the route of the Forth
and Clyde Canal at his own expense, in 17C1.
Both of these works were subsequently accomplished, but after great delay.
Dr. Zabdiel Boyalston introduced innoculation
for the small-pox into Boston in 1721, and tried it
firat on his son Thomas, and other members of hiB
family; but such was the force of prejudice and
unbelief, that the other physicians gave an unanimous opinion against it, the municipal government
prohibited its practice, and the populace would
have torn him to pieces if he had not retired from
the city.      ,*-***	
"Pray, my lord," said a gentleman to a rather
whimsical judge, "what is tbcdistinclion between
law and equity courts?" "Very little in the end."
replied his lordship; "they only differ bo far as

for at once; In equity you are not so easily disposed of. The one is prussic acid, the other is laudanum."   ___^_

FRANKLIN.
The polar clouds uplift—
A moment and no more—
And through tlie snowy drift,
We see them on the shore—
A band of gallant hearts—
Well-ordered, calm and brave;
Braced for their closing parts—
Tbeir long march to the grave.
Through lhe snow's dazzling blink,
Into the dark llicy'v ::one.
No pause ; the weaker sink.
The strong cau but strhe on.
Till all the dreary way
Is dotted willi llu-ir dead.
And the shy foxes play
About each sleeping head.
Unharmed the wild deer run,
To graze along lhe strand ;
Nor dread the loaded gun
Beside each sleeping hand.
The remnant that survive,
Onward like drunkards leel,
Scarce trotting, il ftlive,
But for the pangs they feel.
The river of their hope
At length is drawing nigh —
Tlieir snow blind way they grope,
And reach its bank to die !
Thank God ! brave Franklin's place
Was empty in that band.
He closed his well-run race
Not on lhe iron s.trand.
Not under snow-clouds white,
By cutting frost wind driven,
Did his true spirit tight
Its shuddering way to Heaven.
But warm, aboard his ship.
With comfort by his side.
And hope upou his lip.
The gallant Franklin died.
His heart ne'er ached to see
His much lov'd sailors ta'en ;
His sailors' pangs were free
From their loved captain's pain.
But though in death apart,
They are together now ;
Calm, each enduring heart—
Bright, each devoted brow !—Punch.
Steel Bkll-Castixo.—A number of persons re
cently assembled at the works of Messrs. Naylor,
Vickers & Co. Millsands. Sheffield, to witness the
casting of the largest steel bell—which was, we
believe, also the largest casting in steel e?er produced in this country,
Fenced stages had been erected for the accommodation of the spectators in situations commanding a good view of the operations. A large iron
vessel, plugged at the bottom, was placed in Lhe
pit, above tbe mould, to act as a funnel, and the
molten steel was poured into it from the crucibles.
The emptying of the crucibles (105, containing
fifty-six pounds each) into the funnel, excited
much interest, requiring a great amount of skill,
care, and nerve. The men had all been told off into companies, each man having an assigned nnst
and a nxeu pot tion ofthe work.   The  carryiug
and emptying of the crucibles is a painful and
difficult task, but it was performed with the utmost
order and celerity, the whole of the crucibles being brought up from the furnaces and emptied in
the brief space of six minutes. The moment that
part oi the process was finished, the plug was
draffn from the bottom of the funnel by means of
a crane. The fiery liquid then ran into the mould
in a copious and uninterrupted stream, and the
work of casting was complete. When the metal
was sufficiently cool to permit of an examination,
it was found that the huge casting was perfectly
sound. The weight o( the casting is 1 tons 12 cwt.
The order for the bell is from Messrs. Couroy &
O'Connor, of San Francisco.

To Test Silver Ore.
As a great number of persons are searching, or
intend to search for silver ore, we publish, for the
special beuefit ot all such, the following process,
by which the presence of silver may be readily de
tetmined :
Pound a small piece of rock supposed to contaii:
the metal, as fine as possible, (hen place it on a
shovel, or anything handy, and hold it over a slow
fire, to burn away sulphur or arsenic, whieh are
generally mixed with the ores of silver. Then
take a cup, or any glass or earthenware vessel, into
which pour a small quantity o! nitric acid (aqua
loitis) into which put about a te;*.i*poonlu! of pow
dered ore, which boil in the acid for a minute or
two. Then take some common salt dissolved
water, in another vessel ; pour a small quantity of
Ibe salt and water into the acid ; if it turns white
and looks milky, there is silver in tbe ore. The
above is a cheap, convenient, aud certain test lor
Btlver.
Crinoline Subdued.—The London Times reporter, in sketching the scenes at the recent opening
of Parliament, remarks :
"As the Udiea eat closer and closer together,
first six,   then seven, theu eight,  and  at last nine
linon   a   mmllirillo tmnoh,  o   ,,,",.. I    li.-, '..,  flncLoJ   upon
all beholders, aud Ihey saw that the reign of crinoline was over, the literal and metaphorical iron
despotism of fashion was broken at last. The ex
captions to this rule, it is true, were neither few
nor unimportant, butstill they were the exception,
and taken as a whole, tLe Bitting space allowed by
that sumptuary censor, the Lord Chamberlain, was
generally allowed to be enough."

The Panama Star aud Herald of February 2S,
says : " We are in receipt o! private advices from
Nicaragua, of the^most undoubted character, to
the effect that Mr. Wyke, II. B. M.'s Minister to
Central America, has succeeded in negotiating a
treaty with the President and Cabinet of Nicaragua, which, ere this, has been submitted to the
Congress of that country for its ratification.
It is understood that Great Britain agrees to
abandon her Protectorate over the Mosquito Territory, in consideration of which Nicaragua has
made certain concessions to England, the precipe
nature of whieh we have not learned. It is fur.
ther understood that the treaty has been made in
strct, pursuance of the understanding between the
Governments of Great Britain and the United
States. Indeed, such is the happy accord that exists between the two Governments, that the identical treaty negotiated by Mr. Wyke was submitted to the Cabinet of Washington before it was
transmitted to Central America. This we have
irom a most Tellable source. Yet it is a little singular that Mr. Wyke should have encountered the
opposition of Mr. Dimitry, the U. S. Minister to
Nicaragua. He did all he could to obstruct Mr.
Wyke's negotiations, but fortunately to no effect.
Mr. Wyke will remain at Managua until Congress acts upon hiB treaty. Little or no apprehension is felt as to the final action of that body.
Its ap; roval may be looked upon as certain.
T111-: Frknch in tiik South Sius.—The French
Government intend organizing two distinct administrative districts for their possessions in Oceanica.
An English journal says of these districts • The
first would comprise Tahiti, the Marquesas, and
neighboring islands ; and the second New Caledonia and dependencies. This colony, about seven
hundred and fifty leagues Irom Tahiti, has become
too important to remain under the same administration. In the last (our years, New Caledonia
commerce, agriculture and industry have exceedingly increased. It contains numerous establishments, among which St. Vincent, the Isle of Pines.
Kaualu,Napoleouville, and Port de Franco, have
active relations established with Australia. The
Port de France alone received last year, in the
months of April, May and June, thirty-seven vessels, among which were eleven ships belonging to
different nations. A regular line of packets has
been established between New Caledonia and Syd.
ney, and these vessels will correspond at Sydney
with the mails toEurope.
The Central California and Pike's Peak Express
Company was organized on the 21st February
Leavenworth.    W. H. Russell was elected President, and a full   board of officers appointed, of
whieh W. B. Waddell, Alexander Majors, John S.
Jones. J. B. Simpson, and B. F. Hicklin, are prominent members.    The new company have purchi
ed the entire nuiter-inl ni ih,* Tii--,*'. ■■>--■- m_,-..
company, and  will now perform the mail and c
press service to Utah and California, in conjunction with that to the gold regions.
The House Committee on Territories have under
consideration the subject of Territorial governments lor Nevada, Pike's Peak and Dacotah. Bills
it is said, will be reported in these cases—certaiuly
to the last named. The Committee contemplated
nothing further for Arizona at present than a Surveyor General and a judicial district.
Royal Toilettes.—Would the ladies like to
know what the Queen and her family wore when
Parliament was opened? Her Majesty wore a dress
of pearl colored satin with gold bars, over it a
mantle of rich crimson velvet, with a deep aud
massive gold border. Her head dress was a tiara
of brilliants. The elder Princess wore a "slip"—
whatever that is—ol white tulle over a pale blue
under-dress ; round her head was a wreath of white
roses. The younger Princess was dressed wholly
iu white, with a wreath of pink flowers as a head
dress. Tbe Prince Consort wore the uniform of a
Colonel of the Life Guards. Errors excepted
these are the dresses worn.
The longest railway line in England is the London and Nfirthwestern. HID miles; llie Northeastern
ts 746. Eight railroads have their termini in Lon-j
don, and their gross receipts are dose upon a million dollars per week. The total railway receipts
in Great Britain are two and a half million dollars
per week. The total investment in these roads is
about $1.9(1*3,-113,775.
Important concerning Land Sukvkys.—In view
of probable legislation by Congress bearing on
Mexican land grants in California, it would be advisable Ior parties who have objections to urge
against surveys already returned to and pending
before the U. S. District Court, to present the same
without delay, if they have not, up to thiw time
filed such objection.
Judge Amy, of Kansas, has reported to the
Hon. J. W. Robinson, Secretary of State under
the Wyandotte Constitution, lhe census taken last
year, as filed in the offices or the Territory, whieh
shows that there were at that time 70,82*3 souls in
Kansas. It leaves more than oue humlr-jil towns
not returned. Mr. Robinson think- there are 11U,-
000 Inhabitants. He says the otlicial returns for
delegates when received will show that Kansas
will have over 150,000 population.
The Herald's Washington corres-pondence says :
Mr. Sherman, from the committee of ways aud
means, will report two Indian appropriation bills
The annual, appropriating two millions of money,
the other a deficiency bill, emtraeing $5:i0,u[j0.
The latter bill is based upuL the ratification by the
Setiate ol about eleven treaties wilh as many different tribes in Oregon and Washington. These
treaties have been made since 1850. and were all
ratified by the Senate at its special session in
March, 1859. All ol thera contain stipulation'***-
which c;in be set aside at the discretion of the President, and they provide for the payment o( about
ten millions of dollars in annual annuities of
$530,000, ot whieh the deficiency bill lo be reported, is th.' lirst.
Deputy constable Reed found yesterday morning, sayB the Sacrameuto Union otthe 12th, about
three o'clock, a man lying in a mortar-bed on the

A total eclipse of the sun will take place on the
18lh of July next, visible lo tho people of the Pacific coast, the Southern portion of the United

A JIkavy Blow.—A gentleman was hammered

The Pro and Whistle.—At a recent meeting of
the Somerset Archaeological Society, a paper on
the word 'Tig," by Mr. H. N. Sealey, was read by
the Rev, F. Warre, iu the course of which it was
remarked that in the Saron language the nome for
a girl was "Piga," and its diminutive Pigsney waB
thus explained in JVtl'ns'.oiiV Dictionary : Pigsney,
from Piga, (Saxon,) a girl; a word of endearment
girl. "Peggy;' is a common name of females
in Scotland; but it is used especially as a diminutive of Margaret. Bay's English and Latin Dictionary also gave **Piga" to be a "maid, maiden,
lass, girl, Haas," Several quotations were then
nuule from the Danish New Testament, showing
tbat the word--maid" was represented by '*Pigen.''
OMinixen, tx native of Ib-idgewaU'i*. in Vis "History of England," published in 1730, noticed tho
''Pig Cross," and the "High Cross," in his account
of the siege of Bridge water by the Parliamentary
forces, A. D. 1045, and Monmouth's Rebellion, in
1685. Tbe "High Cross" stood on the Coruhill,
and was pulled down about fifty years ago; tho
"Pig Cross" stood at no great distance from it, and
not far from the parish church, which was dedicated to the same saint, and distinguished from tho
other cross by the name ol the ''Pig Cross," or, as
he presumed, the "Lady Cross." If we associated
with the cross the Blessed Virgin Mary, all incon.
gruity vanished; the "Pig Cross" became the "Lady Cross" "Pig's Hill" and "Pig'fl Ditch" became
the "Lady's Farm" or "Field," the revenue having been applied to the maintenance of the "Lady's" chapel, or the priest who officiated. The
sign of the "Pig and Whistle" threw much light on
the meaning of "pig," when associated with sacred subjects: if we consider "pig" as the maid or
the Virgin Mary, and "whistle" as a corruption of
'•Wassail." from (he Saxon Wash-vl, (Johnson,)
"Your health"—the Balutation—then the "Pig
and Whistle" becomes the "Virgin and Salutation."
Last WoiiDd ot- Washinuton*.—-It is of infinite
moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your National Union to your collective and individual happiness ; that you should
cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think of it
as ihe palladium of your political safety and prosperity ; watching for its preservation with jealous
anxiety ; discountenancing whatever may suggest
eveu a suspicion that it can, in any event be abandoned ; and indignantly frowning upon tht* first
dawning ol every attempt, to alienate any portion
of our country Irom the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which so link together the various parts."
