MISCELLANY.
A S.-f’nn in u Gtiinhling Ilousr.
The following very remarkable circum
stance ia voucheu for by Green, the reformed
gambler, which we condense from his romance
attached, that in manner relieves it of the
1 horror excited by the catastrophe, it occurred
at New Orleans some years ago.
A sen captain was in the habit of frequent
ing a llonletfe Table, kept hy a Frenchman
in company wit! i pnrtyo! u.c.iidere. Green
remarks that they played with more regard
to tininess then, than f customary or general
with them now. The Captain was evidently
influenced in hi.s visits more hy a wish to kill
time than from any passion lor the sport —
He had visited the room frequently, and his
variable bet was twenty-five cents and winner
or loser, he never increased it. He visited the
place on the night in question.
The sea captain having placed his bet upon
the red. sat with his head leaning on his hand,
us it in a wait the result of the game. The
hall ti ll into the column, and he was ti e win- <
ner. The wheel was started again, but tHe
Captain did not move, and, contrary to his
usual practice, the amount of the net was
doubled. He won the second, third, fourth,
and filth, the sum doubling each time. Thus
it went on to the eighth tune, when the gam
blers began to he excited, and uttering loud
curses, exclaimed—‘He wins again !’ At this,
many who were in the room gathered around
the table. The result of the ninth and tenth
being the same, one of them cried out —He is
a fool why don’t he make sure of what he has
won.’ The eleventh, t. 11 th and thirteenth
brought the same result, and many exclaim
ed—'He is mad.’ But the game went on and
the Captain continued headless. The Ibur
tcentii was in his favor. At the fifteenth,
thousands were at stake, from the small be
ginnings of twenty-five cents, and till eyes
seemed fixed in amazement. Still he wo i.—
The sixteenth was the same. The bankers
vociferated curses upon the wheel player.—
Others urged the Captain to withdraw at
least a part of his winnings. Sixteen thou
sand dollars was at stake lor the seventeenth.
| The ball flew like lightning, but there was
no change. The money was piled up before
the Captain in heavy hank notes, but lie mov
'd not a finger nor uttered a word. At this
junction, a husky voice, ia seaman’s phrase
was heard—'Haul in. old Captain ! you don’t
bet all that pile against this set of land pi-
rates ! ‘haul in!’ and a hand was stretched
forth from one nt the table grasping the mon
ey and depositing in a hat. 1; was the first
mate of the Captain’s vessel. Having thus
1 secured the money, lie seized the. Captain by
j the shoulder, saying—Come you have full
| cargo, it’s time to hoist sail.’—when, horrible
I >o relate, the corpse of the Captain It'll against
him. —He had been sitting with his head u|xm
ids hand throughout all this exciting scene; i
having died while in the act of I etting his first I
quarter. The mate called for water and
dashed it iu his face ; then lor spirits ; but all
efforts to resuscitate him were m vain. Lite
was extinct.
| Green goes on to detail the result.
The gamblers then demandt and that the motl
ey should be refunded; but the mate had loll
ed it up in a handkerchief, put it into the hand
ot a cabin-boy. and told him to run witii it iiir
| his life to the ship and delivei it to the clerk,
j and summon the crew to the gambling house!
! l'he tumult and confusion were so great that J
I the boy slipped away unnoticed.
When the corpse was laid on the plunk, the i
; gamblers again demanded the money of the
j mate, stating, that ns the captain had an- |
Idoubtedly died betting the first quarter, jus- |
! tice required that it should be returned to the
] bankers. The mate, in a tone of defiance, j
\ replied thut the orphan children of the Cnp
| tain needed the money, and should have it.—
I Force was then threatened it’ he rei'u.io.t tn
j deliver it up. Seeing that their threats were
unheeded, they rushed iijsin him with violence,
seized his hat, and bore it oil! supposing tliey
hnd thus secured the money ; but to tbeir sur
prise the hut was empty. A large number
who were present took the part ol tin mate,
and great excitement prevailed throughout
uic house. An assault \v. .. male u, rathe
mate. &ouic cried one tiling, and sonic a.ratti
er. ‘Down with him !’ ‘Get the money !’ Let
him alone !’ ‘You have no right to roll him!’
—mingled with oaths, imprecations and
curst s. At this moment twenty or thirty of
the ship’s crew rushed in. and one word trom
1 the mate brought them to his rescue, and the
I gamblers were soon made to stand at a dis
tancc. Something was said respecting the
I money which led the sailors to suppose that
the mate had been robbed, and they were
j about rushing upon Milntievr lirarnpin , as
the proper, person to indemnify him liir any
I loss he might have sustained ; but wi re dt
! verted by ttie entrance of some twenty of the
rity watch, armed with short swords. The
I sailors knew tile character ol’ this posse, made
lup of what were called among them i curf
rut I'renchmen,’ and were no more daunted
by their array of three, than they would have
i been by the display of tin swords iu the hands
of s i many trained monkeys. A fracas was.
however, prevented between the sailors, mid
the watch, by the assurance of the mate that
the money was sate, and a request from ldm
that they would quietly return lo the vessel.
He propositi to take the corpse on board, but
was informed by the Captain of the watch,
that a coroner’s inquest must be held over it
before it could be removed. 11* then seated
himself hy the corpse of his Captain, to watch
over it during the rest of the night; and the
gamblers returned to the common works of
darkness, pluying cards and drinking liquor,
meanwhile, now and then uttering curses upon
the dead hotly ol’ the Captain.
Itailways ntnl tlieir Hull) Opponents
The following paragraph, which w’e find in
die London Milling Journal, of August 7th, is
so truth-like, that we give it a place, with
the simple observation, that the same remarks I
are equally applicable at the present tiny:
Wlien Jacquard the invento- of the won- I
derful loom that bears his i>',mc, was arrested !
and curried to Paris, wiVnliis machine, Car
not, in the presence of Napoleon, roughly said
to him, “ ore you the man that pretends to
do'timt impossibility, tie a knot in it stretched I
string /” ri is compatriots of Lyons the im
possibility being surmounted, broke Ins ma
chine* in 1800, and raised a statue to bis mem- 1
ory iu 1840. All those who lire iu advance of |
public opinion must bear ridicule or persecu- !
tioii. in 1825 tlie Quarterly Review liiu* j
ridicul’ and the notion ot cerUtin engineers, Tel- :
ford among the rest, that a mil way engine j
could go lb or 20 miles an hour: “The gross J
exaggerations of the locomotive steam engine !
or to speak Kiigl.sli, the stcuiu carriage, tuny
delude lor it tinu , hut must end in the mortifica
tion of tliosc eomennd. * ♦ Wc should |
soon expect the people of Woolwich to ufler ,
themselves to be fired off upon one of Con
greve’s rockets, ns trust themselves to the
mercy of such a machine, going at such a
rate.’’ Iu that year, the common belief wits,
that railways were altogether delusion mid
and impositions. The Liverpool and Mnn
ehi’Hter railway was npposod in Parliament
with every torin of invective. One member,
in 18545, tf*elured Ms c| ,ion thut u railway
! could not filter into successful coiiqiftittoM
with a canal. Kven with the best locomotive
i engine, the average rate would be but three
and a null’miles per hour, which wna slower
llinn the cmiul conveyance. (Huiisurd, 2d
i series, vol. iv, p. 853.) Another insertion,
, which Mr. Huskissou was obliged to meet
: doubtfully end apologetically, was “ thut
| there were two or three canals, which were

suficient for every purpose of commerce f t tie
districts through which railways wt r.- t
pass.” Let us be just to what we hav bm- ,
accustomed to decry as the dark stge I, t
u be tolerant to those who imprisoned G
ileo and rewarded Columbus with chains, if
there be a reality in any discovery—a f ti
thing and not a sham—if there be slrengdi
or utility, or beauty in any work of mind—it
will live and fructiny, whatever critics, or ora
tors, or inquisitors, or even kings may do to
crush it. And so it is with railway-. On the
I 15th September 183d the first passenger line
j —the Liverpool and Manchester railway u
, opened. The conveyance of passenger*
pears originally to have been an inferior ion
snleration to the conveyance of goods; and the
directors modestly anticipated that one-halfof
the passengers travelling by coaches between
the two towns might venture on the railway.
I In flic first year alter the opening, there were
conveyed 445.060 passengers; in the year end
! ing, Ist July. 1843, the passengers so convey
ed amounted to 827,000. On the 21th April.
1847. there bus been a total expenditure o.i
the railways of the United Kingdom of £73-
000.000 sterling ; and in the last week, the ag
gregate receipt upon these railways was £l6O
000, being a total exceeding £8.000.001 jer
annum for the conveyance of passengers and
goods.
To lCstiinnte Corn in Hulk.
It may sometimes be useful to know how to
estimate the amount of corn in grain, co: luin
ed m hmtili or storehouse, while it is st. r
the ear, and we therefore give a eta trim t -
latmg to this subject which appeared m ;.
agricultural paper at the south.
- The following rule tor ascertaining th
quantity of shelled corn in a house ol
melisions is by William Murray <
Souih Carolina, and was read bciu.e 1.1 c
John's Colic ton Agricultural So. iety u .
communicated by them lor publication in t..,
Southern Agriculturist.—
*• Rule.— Having previously levelled the
corn in the house, so that it will be of equal
depth throughout, ascertain the length,
breadth and depth of tile bulk; multiply these
dimensions together, and their product by 4,
then cut oil one figure Irom the right of this
product. This will give you so many bushels
and a decimal of n bushel of shelled corn. If
it be required to find the quantity of eared
corn substitute 8 lor 4, and cut on one figure
as belore.
•• Example: In a bulk of corn in the ear. 12
feet long, 11 feet broad, and 6 feet deep, there
w '!! he Jib bushels and 8-10ths of a bushel of
shelled corn or 633 bushels and t-10thsof ear
corn ;as 12 X 11
310-8 or 12 X 11= 133 X 6 = 723 X 3
=633,6.
The decimal 4 is used when the object is to
find the quantity of shelled corn, because that
decimal is one-half the decimal 8. and it re

(imnl Butter.
‘‘l* your butter good ! said 1 to a farmer.
‘■Good! my wile has made butter these
twenty years, and I should think she ought to
know how to make good hotter by this time.”
He was evidently otiended.
*• Well, let us examine it. The couer wrs
taken oil the tub ; the clean white cloth (which
had been wet in brine) rolled up the yn.ow
treasure revealed. It certainly diu look pood.
“It tusti - sweet, but how very salt it n.”
” VVc iiave always made our butter suit to
have it keep at this season.”
■‘Let us see if the buttermilk is all w.l!
worked out as the salt is in.”
Some of the rolls were pressed down wish
the ladle.
‘ Now, my friend, if your wife Ims mode
butter these twenty years, she does not knot■■
how to make it good; tor no butttr ten li •
gaud until the buttermilk is worked out 1
this is done, you need not salt it so much t
keep well in any place. Avery little c.n
and labor would have made this butter < xei ;-
lent; but lacking that little, it is only u s
- quality, as you shall acknowledge wi.e i
I show you a sample of good butter.”
Y\ e went in. and I took up a roll from a
crock of first rate butter. It was smooth,
clear, nnel handsome ; the hand of woman had
not been on it from the time it had left the
churn until now—all the work had been done
with the ladle.
“If you will get a drop of buttermilk from
that butter you shall have the whole free.—
Now t aste this mid your own ; if vou would
not give a higher price lor this thun your
own. Look at it; see how clear and transpa
rent these minute globules are and how inti
mately blended with the mass. Until all
these disappear, the butter will not keep long,
when, they are so slightly colored by the
I milk.”
‘l'lie farmer simply remarked that there was
I a ili(h rein c in all butter, and le!\ me to find a
less criticul customer.
It is strange tliut when every body loves
good butter, and is willing to pay fur it, our
I I armors’ wives and daughters do uot tuki
: poins to make a bcttei article. It is the limit
of the women gencmlly. that we have poor
butter, uiid we shall hold them responsible.
1 t It is perfectly easy to make good buitcr.—-
| The only tiling requisite is care. Good hut
tcr will always eouimand u good price in the
dullest market, while jioor butler is u d.ug at

’A lien any of our lady readers make butt r

and that 1 am not fond of too much 5.....
