the strictest advocate of temperance cannot discover any

The Marhiki) Eouor.— Lovejoy, of the Old
Mountaineer, shook off Bacl'olordom some weeks
since, and nol a wife. In regard lo connubial fe.
Hetty, he remarks : We have got somebody to box
our ears—comb our biessed gray hairs, which were
going down in sorrow —mend our ways and unmentionables—wash our inexpressibles and outface—lighten our cares and bread, (provided she
can get flour, powerful scarce just now.)—and instead of coming home at midnight, to go arieaking
into our room, the floor all covered with suimps
of c'gars. old chaws of tob ceo, old dirty clothes,
and getting inlo an old ragged bunk—a flint lock
compared to it would be cotton —we, that is ns,
"early to bed aud late to rise"—you all know
the adage—we come home—ro< m nicely carpeted
— slippers ready—well, we are not gning to tell
you half we know, for fear you might envy us, and
that ain't christian like.
The reason assigned by Lovejoy for taking so
rash a step, is that he wanted an ite n. [A good
many ol us would like to pounce on to an '-item''
like that.]
Among lhe Peruvian Cordilleras, at the Pass of
Anturangra, about three miles above the level ol
the sea, a recent traveler in that terrific region
found two small lakes, scarcely thirty paces asim
der. One of these is the source of a river thai
flows westward to the Pucific Ocean ; the other
pours its waters eastward, until, at Inst, in the
current of the mighty Amazon, they find their
way to the great AUiulic. So li'tln was th'- dis-

[Ppom the St  Loots News, April 8.]
The distinguished ooloicl intfv&Jt.! who has
nwde such a noise in the world in liie case of
Scot* Ta. Sanford, and who has become so tangled
up with the Missouri Qoa.pr0n_.iae sti.il other great
subjects—Dred Scott—is a lesident, not a citizen,
of St. Louis. He is well known to many of our
citizens, and may frequently be seen passing along
Third sfreet. Ho is an old Inhabitant, having
0O_Q to ihis city thirty years ago.
Dred Scott was bore in Virginia, where he belonged to Capt. Peter Blow, the father of Henry
T. Bit w and Taylor Blow of this ,i,y. lie was
brought by bis master to St Louis about thirty
years ago, and in the course ot tim; became the
property of Dr. Emerson, a surgeon in the army,
whom he accompanied on thut. trip to Itoetf Island
and F.nl Knelling, on the gnmi ..
based his claim to freedom; The \E\1e of Dr.
Emerson was formerly Miss Sanford, aud la now
Mrs. Chaffee, wife of Hon. Mr. Chaffee, of Massachusetts. He has been married twice, hit. tirst
wire, by whom he had no children, having been
sold from him. He has had four children by his
present wife, two boys, both dead, and two girls,
both living. Dred was at Corpus Christ! at the'
breaking out ol the Mexican war, us the servant
of Capt. Bainbridge, whom lie speaka of as a1
■' good man."
On bis return Irom Mexico he applied to his
mistress Mrs. ■Emert-on, theu living near St. Louis,
Tor the purchase of himselfand family, oifering to
pay part ol the money down, and give nn eminent
citizen of St. Louis, an officer in the army, as security for the payment of the remainder. His
mistress refused his proposition, and Dred being
informed that, be was entitled to his freedom by
tlie 01 eration of the laws regulating the North-
wst Territory, forthwith brought suit for it. The
suit was commenced about ten years ago, and has
cost Dred $500 in cash,, beanies labor to a nearly
equnl amount. It has given bim a "heap o'
trouble" be says, and it he had known that -'it
was gwine to last eo long.'-' he would not havo
brought it. The strit was defended by Mr. John
Sanlbrd, as executor of Dr. Emerscn'a wiH.
Dred does not appear to be at all diseorrrnged
by the issue of the celebrated case, although it
dooms him to slavery. He talks about the affair
with lhe ease of a veteran litigant, Ihough nut in
technical language, and ia hugely tickled at tho
idea of finding himself n personage ofsucb importance. He does not take on airs, however, but
lausilis heartily when talking of " de fuss dey
make dar In AV ashington, 'bout de ole nigg<_r."'
He is about &5 years old, we should think,
ibongh he does not know his own ttgft. He Is unmixed Africau blood, aud as black as apiece of
charcoal. For two or three years past he has
been running at large, no one exercising ownership over him, or putting any restraint upon Ida
movements. If he were disposed to make the attempt, he could gain bis freedom at much lees
cost than even one-tenth of the expense of the famous suit. He will not do so, however, insisting
on abiding by the principles involved in the decision of the suit. He declares that he will stick
lo his mistress as long aa lie liverr. Hia daughter:'
Eliza and Lizzy, less conscious about the matter,
took advantage of the absence of the restraint on
their movements, a year or two Bince, to disappear, and their whereabouts remains a mystery.
Dred. though Illiterate, is not ignorant. He
has traveled considerably, and improved liis stock
of Btrong common sense by mueh information
picked up in his journeying*. He la anxious to
know who owns him, being ignorant whether he
is the property A Mrs. Chaflee, or Mrs. Sa 1 ford,
though we preauhie, there ia no doubt 'hat the
former iB h;s real legal owner. lie seems tired
of running about with no one to look after him,
while at the same time he fa a slave. He says
grinningly. that he could make thousands of dollar-, if allowed, by traveling over the couutry and
telling who be is.
Scikntikic I'iic.vomk.na.—During a lecture delivered lateiy, by 1'iofessor Faraday, at the Royal
in-titution of Science, a piece of pure iron, peculiarly prepared, so that its particles might present
a larije surface to the action of the oxygen in the
afmo-phere, was ignited and continued to burn
like tinder. The ready combustion of iron, compared wilh gunpowder, was slionn by a viy simple experiment. Some iron SHogS and gunpowder were rn'iTed together and sprinkled inlo the
flame of wpirils ol wine, burning on si plate, when
the iron filings cautrbt fire and burnt in bright
sparks, while the gunpowder passed through the
flame wilhout igniting ; and the quantity lhat
fell on the plafe was afterwards dried nnd exploded. Lead prepared in a similar way, was hhown
to be still more InSammable, (of lt cmgfrtflft in
a beautitul flame when exposed to tin; air, Tho
i'n.i.'i'.-s<ir staled thai lead is nesis Iv sis inflammable

not burning in ordinary olrODDUtsneei, to be that
lhe solid product of combustion lorma a film that
prevents contact witb lhe oxygen, and tbe conducing power of the other parts of the meiul draus
off and disipates the heat. He pointed oui the

As was bin custom, he kneeled down beelde his

known child's hymn—

As may be imagined, the solemnity of tbe occa-
aion was sadly interrupted by the peals of laughter frtm tatter and mother.
