Eben VOL. XI. STILL IT GOES. Some of our readers will remember a humor- ous description of a ‘ perpetual-motion’’ ma- chinewhich was published in our columns near four years since. and went the rounds of the papers. The machine was invented by Mr. Jas. G. Hendrickson, of Freehold, Monmouth coun- ty, N.J. The power was very slight, being obtained by the use of arms and balls attached to a cylinder, and so contrived as to keep the extra weight all one side, and give the cylinder a constant inclination to turn round. Mr. Hen- drickaon was a very plain eountryman, who had whittled away tor forty years at this ma- chine, amid the jeera and scoffs of neighbors and acquaintances, and who was of course not a# little proud of his success. Ours was the first public notice of his invention, but it soon at- tracted the attention of the curious. and he was invited to exhibit it at Raritan, N.J. The oe- easion. if we remember right, was a large gath- ering of people during the progress of an Agri- cultural Fair. The incredulity of his own coun- trymen, however, was more than a match for him. He was surrounded by a set of people who contended that the motion he olaimed was an impossibility, and that he was an impostor. Poor Hendrickson was no orator, and his assaii ants were clamorous and loud spoken; but he Pointed silently to his machine, which was en- closed in glass, end when the philosophers said that his claim was ridiculous, and that a m2- | ebine could not - go of itself,” he could only reply, * But it does go.’ One would have sup- posed that the fact should have been sufficient to upset the old theory; but the Jersey Blues were as etubborn as the noted disputant whore speech upon sach an ocvasian. “ so much the worse for the facts,”’ is now famous in history, and they cling to their theory, in the face of the demonstration. They went farther, and in spite of persecttion as bitter as that which moved the Jesuits ainst Galilec, arrested Mr. Hendrickson for trickery and juggling, under the act for sup- pressing vice and immorality, charging Lim with moving his machine by aconcealed spring’ He was accordingly tried for this offence, before Justice Bodlo, of Keyport Mechanic’, engi- neers, shipwrights, and all the expertsof Jerse gave test'mony as to the impossibility of suc an inveution us he claimed, and their belief that a hidden spring, or some piece of ingenious inery, was contained in the cylinder. At last the axe was applied, and the machine split in pieces, when i ' there was no concealed esp Ponda aery—and the machine. despite @ philosophers, Aad ‘gone of itself’ The men of science gulped down their disappoint- ment, and diappeared from the court-room, and poor Hendrickson and the fragments of his ma- chine were kindly discharged with the verdict, ** no cause of activn.’’ The scene, when he re- turned to his home that night, with the broken relios of his discovery in bis hands, and gazing upon them in sad disappointment, must have been worthy of the canvas of a master painter Since that trial we bad lest sight of him: but, two or three days ago, he came into the office with the same patient, thoughtful face, and holding in his hand the old invention in a new dress. He has made it this time of brass Tibe, so that there is nothing concealed, and no lace for concealment; and, in spite of the ersey persecutors, t¢ will go! ie has at- tached to ita ple clock, and this machine furnishes the motive power. How far this wer can be extended it is not for us to say ; utwe must believe our eyes, and we once more assert that the machine will “ go of it- self.""—Journal of Commeree. ee 8am Wovr» Riok.—The Wheeling Intelli- gencer relates the following amusing story : Aconductor upon one of the railroads ter- minating here met with a hard customer a few day@ sinve, and his experience verified the lines— “* When a woman willis she wont, And when she wont, she dont.”* A fierce-looking woman got on the train, about ten miles out the road tocome to this city. The affable conductor saw nothing re- markable in this. for fierce looking females {re- quently “get on tratns,’’ but both women and men, whether fierce looking or not. are ex- pested to pay their fare. The woman in ques- tion flatly refused to comply with the usual demand, while she expressed her ability to “buy the conductor and all the money he had stolen from the company within the past year.’ The conductor thought this was saying & good deal, but with as few words as ibie (von- ductors are men of few words) he demanded, for the third time, ‘“ your fare,” and then Hed the bell-rope to put the would-be dead | off. The train stopped and the woman was comlucted out upon the platform and from thence down the steps, out upan the track When the train essayed to proceed on its way the woman got aboard. Not wishing to put her of while the train was in motion the eva- ductor pulled the rope again, and again she was deposited spon terra firma. When the train started she goton board as before, and again the train was stopped and the tenacious woman handed gently down. This time a brakesman remained outside to detain her. thinking he could gain thp train under way in advance of the determined passenger. But he was mistaken. The woman wade the renr car almost as soon as the brakesiman, and clinging to the railing about the platform, oe, to climb Was a passenger stiil in spite of their efforts. The train had now lost consider- able time, and rather than Jay himself liable to the charge of brutally treating a woman, the conductor permitted this remarkable passenger te , ay her point and retain her seat to the end of ber journey, when, strange to say, she paid her fare and marched off We deubt whether a parallel to this instance of determination in @ woman was ever recorded. paca besa aatentt ee Grescxsy Sop.—When George Fox was ap- | epaas ng the shores of Ireland, we learn from is most veracious diary that he was overpow- eved by a peculiar odor wafted from the land, which he recognized as the blood of the eaivts martyred in that unfortunate isle. Keen az was the old broadbrim s scent for a martyr. it was not more sharp than Greeley’s for a spicy story of border-raffianism. Itis not tobe won- dered at, therefore, that the philosopher is oc- casionally bitten, as we learn from the follow- ing rie ap in the Oregon Statesman: * At the time of the organization of the Con- stitutional Convention, a wag at this place gut up a‘ blood, hair and thunder’ deseription of « row and fightin that body, as a‘ sell’ upon Greeley. thought the * sell’ was too trans- parent to deceive anybody, and had not the slightest idea of seeing it in the Tribune Bat (reeley, ever on the alert for ‘ border ruf- fian’ tales, clutched at and swallowed it with avidity. The letter is signed ‘0. A. Brown,’ with a note appended, givin, permission to publish the name entire, if desired, but ex reseing a preference that it should be signed yg the initials only—O. A.B.’ Whether Greeley gave the full name or only the initi we do not know. ‘0 A. Brown’ is an express- manin the Indian Department, a very clever gentlemen. who has had the misfortune to lose one arm, and hence (ireeley’s correspondent styles him ‘0. A.\— One Arm.” The * military company’ was the Salem Band, an independent eompany. The only arms that company ever earry are brass instruments, and they are never loaded with anything but wind. The member * stabbed’ is Mr. Applegate. of Unayua, a free- soiler, who ie represented by the eorrespondent as a pro-slavery ruffian, who had eut and slashed terribly, until he was fiually fearfully ‘stabbed in the abdomen.” The entire letter ‘was 8 most apparent *«ell.’’* —— A Monet Par —The Detroit, (Michigan) Tribune says that the insurance Companies re- fuse to pay the $27,000, for wich the life of Mr Holden was tasated. who wes killed at Anne Arbor, Mich., iu Jaty last © ball which was Stethe pistol which short time since ina wursh # sho t distance from where Mt Holden's hody wag dis covered The jasnrance companies contend that Mr. Holden committed suieide to benefit his family. + 1G WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1858. Star. NO. 1,558. Ivprovep Apraratis ror Lavine THe TsL- Eanarnic CaBLe.—There was on Tuesday ex- hibited at the Meroha: Exchange the new apparatus which is to be used in the next at- tempt at laying the ocean telegraph, and which promises to obviate one of the greatest causes of danger which is experienced in its under- taking, that is the unequal strain caused by the rise and fall of the ship. It is the con- trivance of Mr. Henry Berdan, of Philadel- hia, which was taken to England by Mr. Svorett. It is a new combination of machinery to ize the strain to which the cable ghall be subjected, so that the heave of the ship will not affect it. On board the Niagara last sum- mer the cable was d over and under a series of ponderous drums, in a way which af- forded no elasticity—no giving when the ship rose with a heavy sea, and the only contrivance for m dulating its running out, was a simple brake, the use of which depended on the judg- ment of the engineer on watch. Under this ar- rangement the cable broke twice during the first dxy out, and on both occasions from this cause alone. AN this is obviated by this new invention, which gives an lasticity which is self-regulating, ant this too by the application of the most simple mechanical principles. This end is achieved by having one of the drums around which the cable passes, not stationary, but on a oar running on a track on deck, and so regulated that the cable drawing it in one direction is balanced by a weight drawing it the other, so that the effeet of these two forces. varying in intensity with the motion of the sea will keep the car constantly running backward and forwards, the strain on the cable drawing it one way as the vessel rises with a heary sea, and the eontracting weight impelling it forward as the ship falls in the trough of the sea. Aside from this the cable 1s made to pass over and under five other drums. which guide its passage from the hold of the chip to the stern the vessel. The whole apparatus will be ponderous, sost- ing between $0,000 and $40,000, and oceupy- ing the deck between the main and mizen masta of the Niagara. Its liability to fall in derange- ment may, however, impair its usefulness, fer let the running out of thecablo for one mo- ment cease, and the labor of another year is wasted.—V. ¥. Pose. Texsessee Gavuantryr.—A correspondent of the Franklin, (Tenn ,) Review, furnishes that paper with the following epecimen of local gallantry, which is worth re-pablishing. and should be sent by express to Harper's Drawer, as a specimen of Tennessee gallantry One day in the present week, a gentleman who sometimes sports the title of Doctor, and who himeelf enjoys a ‘* good thing,” resolved to kill his hogs, which resolve was duly car- ried into effect. In order to Prepare the hogs for salting he let them remain all night, and to insure their safety, hired two darkies to keep watch over his “ prospective bacon.’’ Two of his neighbors, not having the fear of his sa- ble night-watchers before before their eyes, re- solved to have alitile fun, and so while the darkies were engaged in discussing “de super- plugistieation of de African race,” noiselessly crept up and carried off one of the defunct porkers. Of course there was a commotion when the supposed theft was discovered and the owner gave utterance to some terrible bursts of /eft-handed eloquence, which were only heightened when some one told him that they had seen a hog answering to the descrip- tion, ear-marks, color, size pe all, to the one lost, at the house of one of the offenders. Of the owner sturted, full of wrath and fury, but his coming was looked for, and by a previous arrangement the wife of the ‘: pork lifter’? met him at the door, and with a face the very pic- ture of grief, acknowledged the hog was in the house, asked him if he was going to claim it, she said she expected it was his, and then pic- tured the consequences of exposure which must follow to her and her little ones if he persisted in prosceuting his claim. The gentleman lis- tened, and his heart melted. He could not bear to afflict a poor innocent woman, and with a volee full of pity he hurriedly replied : “No, madam, 1 don't claim the hog—upon tke whole T don’t think I ve lost a hog—but I'll swear this is not »1y hog ;”’ and he took a burried de- parture, with a tear in his eye for the wife of such a pork-stealing husband. It is Put proper to add that after the whole affeir had“ blowed,”’ the gentleman himself enjoyed the joke as well as anybody, but the remembrance of that sorrow stricken wife still haunts him oceasionaliy. Tae Vero Governor or ALABAMA.—The Camden (Ala.) Republie tells the following, in explanation of which it ny bo romarked that the late Governor of that State was somewhat inclined to vetoes : On the morning of the inauguration, an honest but illiterate farmer was going into the city of Montgomery on horseback, when he was overtaken by a resident of Macon county, a lawyer, with whom he fell into conversation, in the course of which the following colloquy ensued : Farwer—Whar be you bound, stranger ? Lawyer—I am going to Montgomery in or- der to be present at the inauguration of the new Governor, which takes place to-day. F'.—The new Gov'nor ; who's he? L..—Why don’t you know that Gov. Winston’s time has expired, and-we are about to install Andrew B. Moore, of Perry, in his place? F.—What! Put Moore in place of Winston ? L.—Yes; Mr. Moore has been regularly elected to fill that pos tion. F.—Well, stranger. you may as well go back ‘Winston’il veto that thing sure as you're CuanticLeer ix tae Hian Latirvpes.—The author of an English work, descriptive of a visit to the Artic regions, relates the following experiences and tragie death of a Chanticleer that suffered from the ‘one idea mania I had observed for some days past, as we pro- ceeded north and the nights became shorter, that the cock we had cd at Stornaway had become quite bewildered on the subject of that meteorological phenomenon called the dawn of day. Tact, doubt whether he ever slept more than five minutes at a stretch without waking up in astate of nervous agitation lest it should be cock-crow. At last, when night ceased altogether, his conetiution could no longer stand the shock. He crowed once or twice sarcastically, then went melancholy mad; finally, taking a calenture he cackled lowly (probably of green fields) and leaping overboard he drowned himself. The mysterious manner in whichevery day afresh metaber of hix harem used to disappear, may have preyed upon his spirits. re nrereneepeannieyaieme sins Finst, Secoxnp, ow Tuimp Persox.—An amusing episode took place in the course of the speech of the Hon. gentleman who moved the reply tohis Excellency’s address in the House of Assembly on Tuesday. This gentleman, touching upon the subject of education, came to this burst of oratory—*Sir, we must educate our children.”’ But it instantly flashed across hie mind that he was unblest with *- babbies,”’ il he recalled himself with— you must cate your children.”’ But at this proposi- tion the chairman, who was addr , began to shake his head and grin. “Sir,” continued the perplexed orator, amidst the roar of the House—“Bir, you—they—we—they must edu- cate their children.” —Adelatde puper.
