BAGGAGE TRAIN.

I Can't Do Without a Paper. What! do without a paper? No, I've tried it to my sorrow, So to subscribe for one I'll go, : Nor wait until to-morrow. Should lovers drown or hang themselves, Or-cut other foolish caper, I never get to hear of it, I do not take the paper. Why, there's my neighbor, old John Stout. lie always hears the news, And having news to talk about, He never gets the "blues" While others yawn in ennui, His mind is light as vopor! The cause is plain to half an eye, He always takes the paper. While neighbor Stout hears all the news. And knows the current price. And always minds his P's and Q's, By taking good advice. I cannot tell the price of calves, Of poultry, coffee, tape, or ' Any kind of merchandise, , Because I take no paper. Though I have studies, which require Much time and mental labor, , ' Yet I can spare a little time, As well as Stout my neighbor; J '' Though time is precious, I can use A longer midnight taper, And thus take time to "read the news," Therefore I'll take the paper. The Benefits of Science and Inventions. Governor Bigler, of Pennsylvania, delivered an address on the 14th ult. before the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture, in which he described with great force the benefits which had been conferred on different countries by science and invention. Speaking of France and England he said: "A comparison detween these two countries based on the statistics of Baron Dupin will illustrate most strikingly the influence of mechanical power upon the productive capacities of nations. . On the ratio of population, as exhibited by the Baron, France should be as great a commercial and manufacturing country as England; but by means of machinery the latter had increased her force equal to a population of twenty-five millions whilst that of the former but little exceeds eleven millions." The statistics which we have examined niakes the machine power of Britain nearer four hundred millions of manual laborers than twentyfive, and no doubt we are nearer the truth than Baron Dupin. What is it which enables Britain to expend greater sums of money at the present , moment than any other nation; maintain steam war fleets equal in expense to half a million of soldiers, and with them sealing every port of the vast Russian empire. Could she do this with only the manual power of her small population? No. From this, then, we learn an instructive lesson respecting the power of machinery of all kinds, for without it all nations are about equal in proportion to the number of their inhabitants. The United States is a nation second to none in power, and this we attribute to the vast amount of machine power called into requisition. Governor Bigler takes the same view of the question. On this point he said: "But it is in the United States that genius has been most diligent to save work. The smallest amount of labor for the largest pile is the maxim of the progressive American. In the World's Fir at England and now in Paris the Americans have stood in advance, so far as relates to useful inventions. "A stroll throujih the Patent Office at Washington city, noticing the endless variety of machinery and the countless applications for new patents, will satisfy any man, when he compares what he has seen with what can be found in other countries, of the great prominence of this American characteristic. To my mind, it is the natural consequence of our free institutions, so calculated to render active and vigorous the intellect of all classes of people." We agree with these sentiments to the letter, but we would go a step further in the way of explanation. It is our opinion that the intense activity displayed by our inventors in devising and improving machinery is, in a great measure, due to our low patent fees, and the facilities (defective though they still are in some few respects,) for obtaining and sustaining patents. Nearly all those useful machines, reapers thrashers, locks, telegraphs, sewing machines, fec, by which America has lately astonished the'people of Europe, are of but recent origin. No doubt a standared literature devoted to American inventions, in directing the attention of our people to their importance and value, has much to do with these improvements, but as this is personal we say no more about it. The fact, how ever, cannot be denied, that nearly all those inventions which have imparted such renown to our contrymen, both at home and abroad, and for which prizes have been awarded at the recent great Industrial Exhibitions, have all been patented, and those patents are still in force. If our patent fees were to be raised as high as those of England, we are positive that the act would be the means of retarding improvements in the useful arts, and thus be a grievous hindrance to the advancement of our country in power, comfort, and wealth. Every man, therefore, who wishes well to his country will advocate and defend every wise mearsure which has for its object the encouragement of inventors, and "the protection of their rights; and in the concluding words of Governor Bigler's address, we will see "invention after invention continuing to chase each other like shadows over the plain, all tending to greater improvement, prosperity, brighter hopes, and a higher civilization in our much favored land." i . . .. - , . Men and Machines. Let us compare a little two modes of cutting grass. Day laborers,hired at one dollar per day, will probably mow in medium grass one and a half acres to the hand; that is, it will cost five or six dollars to mow eight acres, and twenty-five cents each hand for boarding will be one dollar and fifty cents more, which added to five dollars and fifty cents, makes seven dollars for mowing eight acres. ; Now hire a man with a span of horses and a machine to cut the eight acres at fifty cents per acre, and he will cut it in a day; four dollars, and one dollar more will pay their boarding,

making in all five dollars, and the grass will be spread better for curing than a man will spread it after the five hands, which, in the estimate, will make three dollars advantage to the mower. At that rate the machine will pay for itself in forty days mewing, besides saving so much hard labor. But just here steps in Mr. Foggy, of the firm of Foggy, Doubt & Co., and says if the Mowing Machinies do as much as eight men it will throw eight men out of work. No such thing. Mowing Machines increase the demand for labor by' quadrupling the size of our farms, A few years ago a twenty acre meadow was considered "some grass." We have meadows now of a hundred acres, while in Illinois there are meadows of five hundred acres. But there is another proof that these machines have not lessened the demand for labor, and that is shown by the fact that during the present harvest, farm hands have received from $1 50 to $2 00

per day. Did Mr. Foggy ever know such wages to be paid to such workmen before the introduction of "these cussed machines?" We think not. Still we should like to hear from Foggy and find out for certain. The above is from the Albany (N. Y.,) Knickerbocker, and if its sentences, are not finely rounded they are pithy, clear, and to the point exactly. The complaint is often made by thoughtless workmen that new machinery throws people out of employment, and thus tends to injure a portion of the community. Machinery, no doubt, supercedes hand labor, but it does not destroy the demand for laborers. On the contrary, it increases the demand for all kinds of skilled labor, and thus exerts a wholesome influence in raising men above mere drudgery, to become more intelligent and skillful. No class of operatives have been so much benefitted by machinery as the very ones who have made the greatest efforts to resist its introduction. But the days of mobs to break machinery has gone past forever. ' All those who desire the good of themselves and their neighbors of every degree, if they are intelligent, cannot but rejoice at the success of every new machine. , . The Fugitive Slaves Returned. The eight fugitive slaves, who were confined in our Jail on Monday evening, were yesterday taken therefrom, and with the agent of their masters, placed on the evening train of cars bound for Evansville. They severally confessed that they were slaves, and belonged to the persons, whose agent was pursuing them. They did not wish to go back to their masters, but prefered to be freemen poor fellows, we pitied them, when in chains they were led the depot. . ' This is rather an uncommon case eight fugi tives arrested at once. This case shows how law-abiding are our citizens no tumult no ex citement the citizens met, sympathized for the poor slave spoke of the innate love in the human breast for freedom, but all concured in the propriety of strictly enforcing the law a strict compliance with the Jaw, was a consideration, above all other considerations. Thousands of our citizens would have piled their dead bodies around our jail, rather than one of those negroes, should have been, contrary to law, reduced to slavery, and thousands would have thus acted, rather than the laios of our country should have been set at defiance. Exp. A few days since one of the drivers of a team using for hauling cars on the Market St. railroad, caught the son of a tavern-keeper on one of the cars while it was in motion. He took the boy off and gave him several cuts with his whip. Some of the tavern keeper's neighbors saw the act, and made quite a noise about it, and informed the father of the boy. He (the father) let on to be very indignant, and told them if they would, show him the driver he would settle with him. The driver was watched for, and when seen, the father was informed of it. The team was stopped, and the driver invited into the tavern, and asked if he was the man that had struck the boy? "Yes," replied the driver, "and I shall do it again if I catch them on the cars." The indignant father put his hand violently in his pocket and drew out a dollar, which he gave the driver for the good service he had performed. Western Flour. The Wheeling Intelligencer ol Tuesday last says the amount of flour already received at that point from the West and shipped to the Eastern cities, by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, is immense. The Intellisrencer says: "There is another feature in the shipment of flour to this city which may have escaped the observation of many persons not immediately interested in the trade; it is the amount brought up the river. Heretofore it paid well to ship flour from this city to Louisville; now it pays much better for Louisville, Cincinnati, and places above these points to send their flour here. These places have discovered the fact and are profiting by it." J. tie shipments of flour from this city to New York, by way of Wheeling and Pittsburg, have been very heavy during the past month. In deed it looks as it the whole surplus products of this region, which used to be shipped to the south, are soon to take their way to the Eastern markets. Madison Banner. J& In this mammon-worshipping Age, it is rare to find a man place his usefulness to the public, before his interest. During a late visit to the 'City of Spindles,' we were presented by a professional friend, to the celebrated Chemist, Dr. J. C. Aver, whose name is now perhaps. more familiar than any other, at the bedside of sickness, in this country. Knowing the unprecedented popularity of liis medicines, and the immense sale of them, we had expected to find him a millionare, and rolling in wealth. But no, we found him in his laboratory, busy with his laborers, among his crucibles, alembics, and retortsgiving his best personal care to the compounds,' on the virtues of which, thousands hang for health. We learned, that notwithstanding his vast business, and its prompt returns in cash, the Doctor is not rich. The reason assigned is, that the material is costly, aud he persists in making his preparations so expensively, that the nett profit is small. American Farmer, Philadelphia. The, Western Man. Mrs. E. K. Smith likes the people or the great West. She says. The Western man has none of the vices of thrift. He carries on operations on so vast a scale that he casts out pettiness and meanness wherever he goes. He does not higgle and barter in a bargain. He measures distance by miles, not feet. He counts money by the dollar, not by the pence. He buys a dress for his wife, and gets a few yards extra. His own coat and his shoes are all too large, and his hat slouches for the same reason. It is as if the imagination of the man was akin to the vastness of the rivers and prairies of the region the soul gets quite outsuie oi me ooay. tie must have elbow room he must breathe therefore, his house is large; the room large, and sometimes uncomfortable. The bed is high and wide; the teacup ample, heavy, and like the lakes filled to the brim,
