New Yorx, Oct. 17, 1855 Our City Fathers are endeavoring to attract public attention by their violent efferts to prove each other robbers of the public treas- ury—a metter upon which the people gener- ally are very easily convinced. Our Mayor (may his shadow never grow less) sot the ball in motion by indicting six of our civi¢ repre- sentatives for corruption; in revenge for which, one of them, whose good fortune it is to be at the bead of an influential newspaper, is publishing a catalogue of the crimes of the Mayor No edition of the Newgate Calendar ever published greater enormitics than are charged upon our municipal chief. If one- half of it is true, he ought rather to be an in- mute of a State prison than the first man in the first city on the continent. The Mayor, however, goes it strong upon the conscientious line, aud seems determined to * bring up”? ev- ery person against whom a “‘ true bill’’ can be found. Some are wicked enough to aay that he thus tries to disgrace those who differ from him in politics, hia ideas of reform, or in his endeayors to make money out of his office. The twenty-seventh Annual Fair of the American Institute is being held at the Crys tal Palace. As many of the statues wh were on exhibition during the World’s Fair remain, the place has a very brilliant appear- anee. Among the best are Kiss’s celebratod statue of the ** Amazon attacked by a Tiger,’’ and Thorwalstein’s “Christ and the Apostl This Fair surpasses any held in several years. Among many articles of value already well! known to the public, and a great many things of comparatively small account, are ceveral new, or pearly uew inyentions deserving no- tice. For novelty and utility, nothing on exhibi- tion exeveds the * Automatic Grain Seale,” invented by Wm. H. Bramble. From a shute erected over the scale a stream of grain ix poured into the receiver, which, as in the one on exhibition, holds about three bushels. The instant the weight of three bushels has been poured in, the receiver, which has two app: r- tures, performs a part of a circle, bringing one under the falling grain, while it h atthe other. There are five diffe manufactured, which will weigh from one bushel at a time to twenty, ard from three hundred to six hundred bushels per hour. [ts action is regulated by its own gravity, therefore requires no winding up. If a given quantity of grain is required, the automatoz may be set so that precisely thet amount will! be weighed, and no more. The completion of the task and the st »pping of the machine are announced by the ringing of a bell. Among other advantages, the iuventor claims that ‘‘ it never stops to rest, makes no mistakes, works on a small salary, and never strikes for * All that it lacks of perfection i ote. Mr. Bramble spent el years in bring’ curious and valuable apparatus to its pr ttate o i nachines jon so essex as to deserve he old way of sewing by ma- ry the stitches are loops of two threads, ng over end-under the cloth. By the new machine—patented by Robinson, and im- proved by Ruper—the stitches are precisely the same as those made by hand. By a slight change in the position of the needles each ma- chine will produce every variety of st that can be made by hand. It threads its own needle; and one machine is said to perform as much work as six or eight hand sewers can To describe a fractional part of what is new and valuable cn exhibition would oceupy more space than is usually alloted to a ictter. There are some fine specimens of plate glass of native manufacture, superior to ine article imported from France and Germany. The sand trem which it is made is said to be ofa uliar quality, discovered near Lenox, achusetts. There are also horse shoce, a are worn without nails; very fine arti- ficial marbles, and imitations of much valued stones, of which I may speak: more at length in my next. The vegetable department does not appear to be especially varied or extensive. There are a few very large apples, some fine pears and plums, but I do not notice any novelty in the way of fruit. There is a pumpkin from Peekskill, N. Y¥., that welghs 154 Ibs., and measures 7 feet in clreumference. A Va!pa- Taiso squash, grown at Harlem, N. Y., meas- uring 3 feet 6 inches in length, and 4 feet 9 inches in girth; a Palestine pumpkin from New Jersey that weighs 124 Ibs., and a Cali- fornia cucumber from West Chester, N Y., that measures 54 inches in length. The arrival of Dr. Kane and his party of Arctic explorers has created a new fund of gossip. While among the belles of Greenland it appears that the Doctor made the conquest of one of their hearts, and endeavored to per- suade her to leave father and mother and cleave unto him ; (perhaps the word up there would be “freeze’’ unto him.) Failing in this and determined not to be beaten, he bore away a pair of her scal skin trowers, which he now exhibits with an air of triumph. On the first day of his arrival he was literally beseiged in the Astor House. The number of persons who were desirous of shaking the hand that came so near shaking the North pole was im- mense. It is not often that a person caa touch a man who has touched the verge of creation. The Kane party brought heme daguerreotypes of some ot the inhabitants of the far North. The pictures are of pecular interest, insomuch as they appear to have been taken in « light that was ail white, without the admixture of cclored rays. The daguerreotypes are mere shadows, almost as faint as if taken by the moon here. Would it not be a nice question for philosophy whether the absence of colored rays in the Arctic regions is « partial cause of the intense cold ?- Tecumsen. —————_-ore | (POR THE sTaR. ‘How to Make Ten Thousand a Year.” Long years ago, when I was eighteen years old, 1 was in the habit of going, in fine wea- Tactique Navale, a Pusage €e la Marine Fren- | ther, to spend Sunday at Versailles, where my caise, 1 Chopart; Les Evolutions Na’ quarto, Paris, finely bound; $2.75 Ramatuelle; Cours de Tactique Navale, 2 vol- umes, quarto Paris, finely bound; $$ Guerres Maritimes, par le Capitaine Graviere, volumes, Paris; $1 , 1 volume, | wards and forwards. q | Was always sure to meet wiih a beggar, who | volume, quarto, Pa is, finely bound; $1.75 | mother lived.

Mork! the time ever come when tg =n that disgusting remainder that le spit, will be eemevell from our parlor, B sec sedhy- ow | cars? Those who chew tobacco should feel a delicacy in having this one of the lower vices made apparent by the uss of /e case de tabar, as fow others rarely avail themselves of this convenience. The habttof spitting is, probably, one rea- son why the Americans are so moagre in —- soa. They pit themselves to death, and talk wonderfully about our climate—swell the numbers of those who dic of consumption, and look like scarecrows during the period of their vatural life. Women aad girls rarely spit, from an inctive sense of ita indelicacy , but men look solemn, talk grave, and . They Giin-h a sentence in conversation by a spit, just as we close a paragraph in our editorial with a period. Boye, as soon as they are installed into a broad collar, spit. They practice in order to do this well—shooting forward the body, and the under lip, till they become masters of the art, and able to hit a spittoon at the grestest possible distance If spitting must be done, the pockethand- kerchicf is the only legitimate medium, and this can be used in @ manner as little obvious to the spectator as possible. Those who have this habit inveterately established, should carry an extra handkerchief, that the one sely kept for show,”’ may be as little ob- ionable as possible. Seriously, our secretions, if healthfal, are never offensive, 80d never in undue quanti- ties—the habit of casting the saliva from the mouth causes an extra secretion, which must, in its turn, be ejected, and thus nature is se- verely tazed to supply the waste—the gums shrink—the teeth fail—the throat is parched —bronchitis, first, and finally consumption, or sume other decay of a weak organ, comesin to close the scene. An Arab would run a man ¢ who should presume to spit in his presence. The bird never spits, the toad squats to the earth, and the serpents secretes saliva as a deadly poison. If we weep passionately, the ssliva is bitter—it is pangent and scanty in the ac- tion of the baser emotions, while iove renders it sweet and abundant The saliva is associ- ated with our whole cnimal economy, and fol- lows closely upon the action of our minds, sympathetically, intimately with all its moods. Sensitiveness inclines us to swallow down our saliva, while disgust disposes us to spat at ovt. The scent of roses moistens the lips more than the tongue, lemons cause the mouth to be filled with saliva. The sight of one hate- ful tous dries the mouth, while on the con- trary one who is agreeable moistens it. Hence, those who weep have dry lips, while those who suffer without tears, have not only di lips, but an acrid mouth. ‘here is a beauti- ful philosophy in all this, and those who waste the secretions by spitting, lose not only the action of these glands, but unquestionabl: weaken the fine sensibilities connected wit them. Show us a man who spits, and you show us a man of uncertain characteristics, and one whose sensibilities are not to be trusted. Do away with spittoons, and nature will do ber work more genially fo: ; she will beautify him; whereas now she is obliged to be con- ed patching him up—AMrs. E. Oakes Smith. Barcarxixg on Suxpar.—A Posteh popes has the following account of the mode by which business may be trasacted on Sunday, and no harm — ra of a Long before there was any wo: jisrap- tion, <3 when the Charck of Scotland was deemed by those who have since seceded from her communion as the glory of the whole earth, the following conversation ensued be- between bis revereace, now in the Free Charch and one of his hearers in a rural parish, on @ sunday forenoon, imediately after divine ser- vice: “* Weel, John, there's a fine day.”” “It is that, Sir,’ was the reply. “That's a fine pony you've got, John.” “No cannier or better ved creature in the parish, saving yerself, Sir,’’ replied Hodge. ,"’ said the “Tf it had not been Sundi man of the Scripture, “I would have been in- quiring the price of it.’ “ Deed, sir,’’ replied the owner of the beast, ‘‘if it hadna been Sunday, as ye san, I would hae said aught pounds.”” “Very weel, Sir. That's a bonny stack o” hay ye had i’ the yard—I wouldua be na waur o’ a puchle o’ it; and if it hadna been the day it is I would hae speered the price of it, tov.” “1 think the more of you for that, John, as it is just the way with myself, for had it not been this hallowed day, I would have said ninepence per stone I might likewise have asked a number of questions—such as how the market went yesterday in Arbroath, and what are you asking for your Ayreshire bull calf, and so on.”’ “ Deed ay, Sir: but aswe canna be tellin’ that wheat raised a shillin’, and aits fifteen pence the quarter, on sic a day as this, an’ it would be just as ill sayin’ that the cafie’s wirth thirty shillins till ‘any body.” “Gaid day, John.”’ “Guid day, sir,”’ was then passed, and thus ended the above equivocal reverenee for the Sabbath, altho the conversation ended to the mutual satisfaction of both parties.
