It is remarkable how the mind of the world has run into scientific investiga tion during the last fifty years, and what achievements it has effected in that short period. - Fulton launched the fyrst steamboat, in 1807 now there are 3t000 steam boats traversing the waters of America alone. In 1835 the first tailroad was put in operation in Massachusetts. In 1800 there was not a single rail road in the world. In the United States alone there are n6w 24,500 miles of rail road ; in Europe, 23,223 ; in the whole world, 51,265. The electro magnet was discovered v.t 1S25, and electrotyping is a later in vo.iiou. Hoe's printing press, capablo of print ing 10,000 copies an hour, is a very re cent invention. . -1 " Gas light was tmknown in 1800 ; now every town and city of any im portance is lighted with it, and we have the announcement of a still greater dis covery hy which light, heat and motive power, may all be produced from wa ter, with scarcely any cost. Daguerre communicated to the world his beautiful invention in 1832. Gun-cotton and cloriformare discov eries but a few years old. Astronomy has added forty new plan ets to the solar system. i A Story ia told of a revenge taken by a Nart tucket ship-master against a United States Consul, who was very rarely to be found in bis office, although upon bij sign were the words. Mn 10 to l-w The indignant captain, after trying to find the Consul sev eral days without success, took a paint brush and altered the official's sign so that I it read, -ten to one be is not in." ' COL. YELL'S FIRST CASE. When Col. Archibald Yell, after wards buried at the battle of Buena Vis ta, had taken his seat for the first time upon the bench, the first case upon the docket was called, and the plaintiff stood ready. It was a case that had been in litigation for five years. Gen. Smoot a rose for the defendant, and remarked in an overbearing tone. "Our witnesses are absent, and therefore demand that the case be continued until the next term in the course." - , "Let the affidavit be filed, for not till then can I entertain a motion for contin uance," was the reply of the judge. J "Do you doubt my word as to the fact?" Gen. Smoot exclaimed sharply, and involuntarily raised his huge sword cane. "Not at all," replied the Judge with his blandest smile, "but the law requires that the facts justifying a continuance, must appear on record, and the court has no power to annul a law, nor any wish to see it anntiiled.'' The Judge's calm and business like manner only served to iriitate the bully, and he retorted, shaking his swerd cane ill the direction of the bench, "whatever be the law, I, for one, will not learn it from the lips of an upstart demagogue and coward." Judge Yell's blue eyes shot lightning, but he only turned to the cleik and said "clerk, you 'will enter a fine of $50 a gainst Gen. Smoot, as I see him named on my docket, for gross contempt of court, and be sure you issue an immedi ate execution," He had hardly communicated the or der, when Smoot was seen rushing to wards him brandishing his huge sword cane, all his features writhing with n urderous wrath and pallid as a corpse. Every glance was fixed on the Judge, for all wished to know how he would break the duelist's fierce assault. 13ut none, however, could detect the slight est change in his appearance. His cheek grew neither white nor red, not a nerve seemed to tremble: his calm eve surveyed the advancing foe, with as little sign of pertubation as a 'chemist might show, scrutinizing the efFerves cene of some novel mixture. He sat perfectly still, with a little stuff of painted -iron in his hand. Smoot ascended the platform, and immediately aimed a tre mendeous blow at the head of his foe. At that blow five hundred hearts shnd ered, and more than a dozen voices shrieked, all expected to see the victim's skull shivered to atoms. The general astonishment may then be conceived, when they beheld the little iron staff de scribe a quick curve, as the great sword cane flew from S moot's fingers and fell with a great clatter to the distance 6f twenty feet in the hall. The baffled bully nttercd a cry of wrath, wild as that of some wounded beast of prey, and suatched a bowie-knife from its sheath but ere it was poised for the fatal plunge, the little iron staff cut another curve tTnd the bowie-knife followed the sword cane. He then hastily drew a revolv ing pistol, but before he had time to touch the trigger his arm was struck powerless by his side. And 'then for the first time, did Judge Yell betray any perceptible emotion. He stamped -his feet until the platforn shook beneah him, and shouted in trumpet tones. . "Mr. Clerk, you will blot this ruffian's name from the roll of attorneys r as a foul disgrace to the- bar. Mr. Sheriff lake the prisoner to jail." The latter officer sprang to obey the mandate, and immediately a scene of confusion took place which no pen can describe. The bravest and myrmidon friends of Gen. Smoot gathered around to obstruct the sheriff, while many of the citizens lent their aid to sustain -the authority of the cour. Menaces, screams, and horrid curses, the ring of imping ing and crossing steel, alternate cries cf rage and pain, all commingled with the awful explosion of fire arms, blended to gether a Vivid idea of Pandemonium. But, throughout all the tempestuous strife, two individuals might be observ ed a leaders of the whirlwind and ri ders of the storm. The hew Judge used his iron cane with terrible efficiency, crippling limbs yet sparing life. Bill Buflum, imitating the clemency of his honored friend, disdaining the use of either knife or pistol, actually trampled and crushed down air oppositiou, roar ing at every furious blow, "this is the way to preserve order in the court," ;a sentiment he accompanied with peals of laughter. In less than two minutes the party of the Judge triumphed, and the clique of General Smoot suffered a disastrous defeat and the' bully himself was borne away to prison. Such was the debut of Archibald Yell ol Arkansas, and from that day" his popularity as a man as a Judge, as a hero, and as politician, went, on rap idly increasing till, eclipsing the oldest and most powerful names, it set on the bloody ficldof Buena Vista. "Yon are very stupid, Tbomns," said a country teacher to a little boy, eight Tears old. "You are Iik a donkey, and what do they do to cur him of bis stupidity V "Why they feed him more and kick bim less," said the urchin. " ' Mr. Smith, hearing strange sounds, in quired of ber new servant if she snore 4 in her sleep, I dou't know, marm," replied Becky, quite innocently, "I naver lay awake long enough to diskiveF." - THE NEW FURNITURE. BT IN A CLAYTON "Charles, isn't it elegant ?" asked Ellen Clark of her husband, pointing to the new furniture which had that day been brought by the upholsterer, to her cotmge. "Yes dear, and 1 suppose you have exer ted yourself to get it all arranged by my return ; it is very nice Ellen but " "But what Charles, oh don't pray fetch up any bugbears, but, since we have got what taj heart has so long sought for let us be happy." "Well Ellen sit down to the piano and play me one of iho6e old German sings that I so delighted to hear before we were mar. ne.l." .... Ellen cheerfully complied and for a few moments Charle3 wore a less troubled look, he seemed ctrfrted back in imagination to the joyous days of his bachelorhood when the fair Ellen with her maiden smiles was day by day winning his heart "in tirely," but a lound ring at the door bell soon in terrupted his revery and Ellen's song. It was the upholsterer who came to present his b II. Charles examined it and with a Btnrtled look exclaimed "Why Ellen, is it possible this furniture amoun's to a thous and dollars' A long credit Charles." ' Let us see onljr till first of January which is scarcely six months, how do jou think I am to pay it pussy? and the car pets and other things amount to two or three hundred dollars more." "Hare I done wrong, Charles?" asked Ellen looking in:o ber husband's face. "Don't trouble yourself about it darling I will try and meet the demands although my salary is small and mj health is fail ing." These kind words with their appal ling truth, sunk deeper into Ellen's heart than though she had met reproaches, and she retired with a pang at her heart. She realized for the first time hew her husband must toil to pay for so many fine things and indeed she knew be never could do it ; it was utterly impossible, and through the lo g night she tossed to and fro upon her couch and never one moments sleep came to lull her Fenses to repose. Only the night before she had lookeJ forward lo the ensuing day as one marked- with happi ness, but it had proved one of regrets. Tf e morning rose trght and the perform ed the duties that she had been wont to d , and why did not Charles arise as) usual, she went to his bedside. "Oh Ellen such a dreadful headache," and he clasped his forehead with his atten uated bands. "Can you send word to my employer." "Yes dearest" and in a few motnen's a boy was on his way to Roggles & Co., with the painful intellegence that Charles Clark was very ill; a fever ensued. Three long weeks it ranged and most of the time his life was despaired of, and Ellen had taken scarce a, moment's rest during the time. In his frantic moments he hnd ruved of tfe debt he could never ny and it wits imposs b?e lo soothe him. At length his fever attained a crisis ; oh that dreaded moment, either death or life, r ut it proved to be the latter dnd Charles Clark though emaciated and worn was himself again, and what tears of gratitude filled the eyes of the loving wife, as again he twined his arms caressingly about her neck and whis pered sweet words of hope into her ears, for be it know the world never looks bright er than to one who is recovering from a severe fit cf sickness ; even the debt seem ed nearly forgotten in his sweet dream fcr the future; but a reaction followed as his strength returned, so likewise his fears. One evening af er he had become quite strong Ellen asked him to accompany her to the parlor; it wearied him somewhat de scending the stairs but as he reached the bottom the parlor door stood ajar ; for a moment he gazed about the roo n where only a few weeks .previous the luxurious furniture was standing, but now, what a change I nothing but the simple old furniture- which bad been there since they were first married. -- "What does this mean Ellen ?" asked the contalescent man, "can it be I am dreaming ?" and again he surveyed the room. "Charles" said Ellen gaily "the furni ture is returned to the upholsterer. 1 per suaded him to take it back ; and ns you was so sick I presume be thought he nev er should get his pay and con equently was willing to do il I inn happitr with out it Charles, so do nolsco'.d me for doing as I have. By making thai purchase 1 have learned .a lesson which I can never forget ; hereafter I shall buy nothing that I am not able to pay for when I take it. My fine carpet is laid aside until I can afford to get furniture to match. The carpet is not paid for but you need not trocble your self about thnt dear Charles, for I have agreed to pay for it in sewing." Charles was at a loss for words to ex press his thanks for possessing such a treasure as his wife, and he could only draw her to his heart and impiint the kiss of holy love upon her lips. Years bava passed, Charles bas succeed ed admirably in businss, he is no longer toiling for another's gain but has a capital of hi own ; be also owns the beautiful cot tage in which be and his precious Ellen reside and it is elegantly, furnished. He attributes his good fortune to the influence and excellent management of bis wife, and giys she bas never erred but once. Greensboro Times.

For proof thereof, he declared to my uncle Joshua, the other day, that a unun who smoked cigars or chewed tobac co, was but a step removed from a barba rian. "Ah, indeed 1" quoth my uncle, "and I suppose you never indulged, Deacon, in that way yourself ?" "Never lut once, Mr. Jacobs. I once tried to smoKe, but, bah! I found the thing itnposibl' , my stomach was not strong enough f.rit." "Well, Deacon," resumed my uncle Joshua, slyly winking to Capt. Brisk, who sat reading a newspaper at the other end of the room, "how about the drinking ba- Ibiis some men have,r.how do those suit you r Any better than somktng, ehl" , "Worse, much worse, friend Jacobs A man given to ardent spirits sTiould be driv en ftom the pale of decent civilized society. Why a mere thimbleful of brandy or gin would m-tke me so sick, would be so dis gusting." "Ah," cried my uncle, turning sharply towards the deacon. "You are one of those 'hen, who are temperance men, froth ne cessity. 'Having no taste, nor inclination tor a cigr, or a social glass of wine, na ture, indeed, having caused them both to be absolutely revolting to your palate and sturnach, you catrpreach bravely to us up on 'he virtue of temperance, and the evils of temperonce. Out upon such nonesense, deacon I When a man who bas smoked his two dozen pfr lny "Two dozen per day I" exclaimed Dea con Flax, rasing his hands in horror. "Ay his two dozen per day ; when such a man comes to me and sjiys "Come, Ja cobs I've given up smoking, suppose ycu try it !" there's something rational about it. "So, too, if Mr. Bissell, the note shaver, who seldom goes down street, after dinner, without his three bottles." "His three bottles I" and up went the deacon's hands agrnin. . "Yes, his three boitles," cried my uncle, vexed at the repeated interruption, "When old DUsel taps me on the shoulder, and says : "Well, Josh ! I've given up my wine, and fin J I gel along just as weil without it try the exp -rimem yourself, old fellow!" there's some sense in that, too I" And my uncle became considerably ex cited, in asmuch that, raising suddenly from I his chair, he began a rapid walk back and fotth over the parlor floor, during a turn in which, Deacon Flax quietly slipped out into the hall audi hence to the street. Mrs. Olive Clyde, of Bristol, Vt., lately committed suicide by starving herself to death I Her husband had derscrted her, and, unable to support herself, she received aid froin the town. Her situation so weigh ed on l.er mind that she sealed into deep melancholy, nnd, refusing all food, after ihirly-lhree days of fasting died in ternble Tgony. Everything was done to cause her lo break her determination, that pru dence could dictate, but in vain. A SINGULAR DYING REQUEST. We find the following in that sober and truthful fhi-et, the Salem Observer. Of course, no shade of doubt can rest on the actual occurrence of the incident : "An old man dying in Boston recently, was asked if.he would have a clergyman sent for. H-s requested to see Rev. Dr. Colj'cr, who calkd upon him accordingly. The rich man said, '1 have sent to request you to keep those confounded cats in your yard quiet to-night.' " J'er contra we append the following wiih the suggestion that one is just as much an "actual occurrence" as the other: "The Ruling Passion. A starting and somewhat Indicrous instance of 'the ruling passion strong in death,' was that of the ixcf.A maiden lady, who being told, during i.rr lust sickness, that she could not recov er, remained silent a moment, under the dread and unexpected intelligence, and then exclaimed, 'O what vnll becowe of my j.ovt cats P A lady was recently teaching a boy to spell.

A Neva Political Commercial and Literary Journal. JOHN MITCHELL tfc WILLIAM G. SWAN, EDITORS AMD PBOPR1BTOR8. THE Title of this Jouinal, with the names of its Editors, may be nearly enough to indi cate its aims. One of those Editors being an American citizen by birth i the other intending to become such b adoption there is no question affecting the des tinies of Americans, on which they will held themselves debarred from openly express ' an opinion. The one a Southerner by birth the other by preference, they cannot be of those who know "No South, No North.' They well know both; and in the struggle which the South is now called upon to make for her own rights and honor, they mean to stand with the South. A thoroughly Democratic and States-Rights Journal, "The Southern Citizen" will neverthe less decline to be c illid "Partisan;'' unless the Constitution of the- United States is to be called a partizan document. It will uphold ibe Federal Union, provided the sovereignity of the cenfedcratcd States bejrespect ed : if not, not. Holding that the Institution ofNegro Slavery is a sound, just, wholesome Institution ; and there fore, that the question of rc-opening the African Slave Trade, is a question of expediency alone, the conductors of "The Southern Citizen" will'in view o the late action of the Southern Commer, uial Convention, at Knoxville, apply themselves to search out and bring to light, all accessible in formation bearing upon that important subject on tho whole industrial condi'ijn and necessities of the South osj the actual state of the negro ra ces of Africa, and on the policy and action of Eu ropean Power in reference to tho Slave Trade. Residing at Kooxville ; and choosing this point as the place from whence their Journal is to em anate, the conductors of "The Southern Citizen" will be guided in the matter of State Politics, by the genera1 principles above indicated. It will belong to no clique of office sceker9. I n short, it wilt suppoit the candidates for all officers, who will support the equal rights of the Sovereign Mates, North and South the equal rights of the Sovereign Citizens, wherever they may have been born, wherever they may worship or not worship. On Agricultural fnd Commcrcnl affairs on the progress of Internal Improvements, and especially of our Southern Railroads, there will be an ample and carefully compiled weekly report. Literary articles and Reviews, will form a main feature of "The Southern Citieen." Intellectual grandeur, wherever it appears in the world, shall meet prompt and zealous recognition. We donot need to shut out liht and stifle inquiry : but, in this department as well as in Politics, we shall take leave to examine and judge from our own view; not importing our opinions from England, stiil less at second hamf from New xCngland. To the utmost of our power, we shall aid tho movement which at length stirs the South to vindicate her own intel lectual aud moral existence, to revolve round her own centre of thought, and to appeal to a standard of taste and of ethics high above the consideration of political or commercial rivalry. Especial care will be taken to furnish a weekly digest of all the news of the world, at home and abroad. Conducting their new Journal in this spiri', and constantly endeavoring to make good these un dertakings, it is presumed that "The Southern Citizen" will meet with the support which it may deserve. The first number of 'The Southern Citizen" will appear between the first and fifteenth of October. It will be published on the Wednesday of each we -k.. Terms : TWO DOLLARS per annum. New Types, Press, and Materials of all sorts, are being procured for this Journal; and as ij publication will certainly be continued, subsctibtrs will be required in all cases, to remit the amount of tbeir subscriptions in advance; otherwise the paper will not be forwarded.

THESE Scales, for which the inventor has ob tained Letters Patent from the United States Government, are intended to supersede the present cumbrous and objectionable apparatus used for weighing cylindrical packages, euch as barrel?, tierces, f-c, containing articles usually sold by weight. Also for weighing bales of cotton, hay, or other similar packsees. The advantase claimed for them over the ordinary Scales in use, are that no hoisting is required, as the article to be weighed i immediately suspended, by its own gravity, and without strain-, on reaching a given point beneath the Scale beam thus saving a large amount of time and labor, and preventing injury by hooks, or otherwise, to the frailest package. The patentee will be pleased to exhibit his invention at the store of Mr. S. M. West, and receive orders for such si zes and quantities as may be desired. GEO, HOUSTON, Patentee.
