Massev’s Improved Cotton Gins.
THE subscriber is now prepared to manufacture a •su
perior article of COTTON GINS, having procu
red materials of thp best quality and being supplied with
the best of workmen. Besides he is now making con
siderable addition to his machinery, which will enable
him to furnish ns good gins; and on a9 reasonable
terms, ns any factory in the State.
The subscriber has the exclusive right of Simpson’s
Patent, (tor applying metnlie rubber to drums, pullies,
&c ) f*rsome fifty of the Lest cotton growing counties
in the State ; which he intends applying to hfs gins
when required. And it is certainly of great advant
age to the cotton gin, for it not only requires one third
less power to propel it, where the rnqfehc rubber is ap
plied, but the gin, running geer, and every tiling con
nected with it. will last ns much longer in proportion.
I believe there is no one of common sense but will ad
mit, that the lighter machinery of any kind can run,
the longer it will last.
It nppenrs that a great many persons prefer what is
called a water box, to all such I would say, that it is not
worth one cent for the purpose recommended—that is
to prevent the gin from taking fire, forthis simple rea
son, a gin never takes fire from the box. but invariably
from the brush inside the gin, (when it takes fire at
But ns every man has his own notions, I will furnish a
box of my own invention (to all who may require it,)

Manufacture of India Rubber Shoes in
Brazil*
A number of blacks, bearing long poles on their
shoulders, thickly strung with India rubber sh *es, also
attracted our attention. These nre tor the most part
\ manufactured in the interior, and brought down the
river for sale by the natives. It lias been estimated that
j at least 250,000 puirs of shoes are annually exported
i from the province of Para, and the number i*constnnt-
Ily on the increase. A few words here respecting the
, tree itself.and the manufacture of the shoes, may not
jbe out of place. The tree (Siphilla rlastica) is quite
peculiar in ita appearance, and sometimes reaches the
1 height of eighty and even a hundred K-et. The trunk
; is perfectly round, rather smooth and protected by a
i bark,of a light coior. The leaves grow m clusters of
{ three together, are thin, of an ovate form, nnd ore from
! ten to fourteen inches in length. The centre lenfof the
clusteris always the longest. This remarkable tree
1 bears a curious fruit of the size of a peach, which nl
j though not very palatable, is eagerly sought alter bv
j different animals ; it is separated into three lobes, which
! contain each a small black nut. The trees are tapped
in the same manner that New Englanders tap maple
trees. The trunk having been perforated, a yellowish
j liquid, resembling cream, flows out, which is caught hi
j small clay cups, fastened to the tree. When these be
come full, their contents are emptied into l.arge enrth
|en jars,in which the liquid is kept until desired for use.
The operation of making the sho- s is ns simple as it
is interesting. Imagine yourself, dear reader, in oik- of
j the aenngo groves of Brazil. Around you are a num
• ber of good looking natives, ot low stature and olive
i complexions. All are variously engaged. One is stir-
I ring with a long wooden suck the contents of • cau'd
i ren, placed over a pile of blazing embers. This is the
liquid as it was taken from the rubber ’ree. Into this a
wooden last,covered with clay and having a handle, is
plunged. A cob ting of the liquid re me n t-i You will
perceive that another native then takes the last, and
j holds it in the smoke arising from the ignition of u spe
’ cies of palm fruit, tor the purpose ot causing ill coating
!to assume a dark color. The last is then plunged again
into the cauldron, and tins process is repeated, as in
j dipping candles, until the coating is of the required
thickness You will, moreover, notice a number of

What a Mouth ought to be.
The mouth is the frankest part of the face—it can the
least conceal the feelings. We can hide neither ill nor
good temper with it. We may affect what we please,
out affectation will not help us. In a wrong cause, it I
will only make our opposorsresent the endeavors to im- I
pose upon them. * * * * A mouth should
he of good natural dimensions, as well os plump in the
lips When the ancients, among their beauties, make !
mention ot small mouths nnd lips, they mean small, on- i
jly as opposed to excess the other wajr—a fault very
! common in the south. The sayings in favor oi I
! sniml mouths, which have been the ruin of so many
1 preity looks, nre very nhsurb. If there must be an excess
either way, it had better be the liberal one. A petty,
pursed-up mouth is fit lor nothing but to bt? left to its
complacency. Large months are oftener found in un
ion with generous dispositions than very small ones.
Beauty should have neither, but a reasonable look ot
openness and delicacy. It is an elegance m lips,
when instead ot making sharp angles at ihe comer ol
the mouth they retain a certain breadth to the very verge
and stiow the red The comer then looks painted wan
a tree and liberal pencil. —Lugh Hunt.
Affection.
We sometimes meet with men who seem to think
that any indulgence m an aflectionate leeling is weak

children with the eold and lotty splendor of an iceberg,
surrounded with us broken fragments. There is hard
ly a more unnatiinl sight on earth than one of these
liiniilies without a heatt. A fnther had better extin
guish his boy’s eyes, than lake away his heart Who
tint t.has experienced the joy of friendship, and values
sympathy and affection, would not rather lose nil that
IS beautiful in nature's seenery, than be robbed of the

bury his wile, than bury his love to her 1 Who would

Maternal Affection*
Men, sara the Prezbyterian Herald, talk of the sil
ver cord of friendship—-of the silken tics which hind
young lovers together—ot the pure affection of husband
and wife as if it were durable ns adamant and as pure
ns the lave of angels. But a hasty word, a thoughtless
action, or a misconstrued expression, may break the
first j a slight neglect, some inconsistency, or a ti isling
favor denied, may sunder the second : and even the lost
may be destroyed, for the green-eyed monster may find
some entrance, and blight the fairest flowers of this
sweetest earthly pniadise
But there is a love which neglect cannot weaken,
which injury cannot destroy, and which even jealousy
con mi extinguish. It is the pure, the holy, the endu
| ring love of a mother. It is as gentle os the breeze of
evening, firm ns the oak and censes only when life’s Inst
; ffh/nin goes out in death. During all the vicisst udes of
1 this changing world, in sickness or in sorrow, in lift or
1 in death, in childhoods halcyon days in youth's un
troubled hour,’ or in manhood's vigorous prime, the
j mother clings with the same unwearied affection to In r
i child. It is the same amid the snows and frost of Sibe
ria the temperate nil and joyous regions of our lair land,
on f among the arid winds of A rica.
These anxious cares and tender attentions and oft-re
peated words of n mot tier’s love,are not without their
happy influences upon the lives and characters of their
i at>iis. The stern rebuke of n justly offended lather may
; check for a season tlx* using and struggling passions of
youth, hut the sacred lessons learned from a
mother's h|M are engraven on the heart, and retain
‘ their power through life jin virtue's paths, and even in
! the career of vice, they me continually recurring to our
, mind,and bring with them as further incitements to
| good, all the hallowed scenes of cluldhod and inno
i oence. Hard is the heart that will not melt nt the re-
I collection of n mother's prayer ; and more obdurate
l siill, the heart ot him who by a course of vice can wil
lingly wring hei soul with anguish, and bring down bet
gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
Shooting ‘in Elephant*
On iMiturduy, u painful feeling was excited in Liver
pool by u report'that the stupendous elephant Kiijidi
nt the Zoological Gardens, had again destroyed inn
keejier. The facts were ascertained to he as follows :
About 10 o’clock, Richard Howard, the keeper, was
in the den with Rajah. One of the holiday visitors
from some of the neighboring towns was in the house
watching the liiameuvers of the animal, who having in
some wuv or other displeased his keeper, was struck
by li.i. Rajah resented the blow, struck the man to
the ground,and crushing him with one of his feet, broke
almost every rib ill his body. The stranger immedi
ately gave tne alarm, but it was too late—poor Howard
had ceased to live. It was instnntly determined that
the annual should be destroyed. Mr. Atkins waited
upon the Mayor, and received from him an mlroduc
lion tome commanding officer of the district, who, ot
the request of Mr. A. immediately despatched n com
pany ot Rifles from live barracks tor tlx* purpose oi de
stroying the elephant, in the inearuime several med
ical men had been consulted, including Dr. O. Donnell
and Messrs. Owen Mid Cooper, uirgeons, with the view
i ol administering poison to the aniina l. Two ounces o

olli *r effect was visit le,and he appealed soon ufter to*
recover his usual health and activity. After the lapse
of th.-te quarters of an hour, it was deemed advisable to
I him by shooting him. The house was order-
I cd to be cleared of nil save the sold ers, twelve of whom
presented arms. Rajah turned round when he gaw the
rrifcs presented nt him, but on again presenting a fair
i view ior a shot the pieces were discharged, and he
I reeled uttering at the same time a loud growl. Twelve
I other soldtrrs immediately took the places of those who
j had find, and, presenting their pieces,, fircdhnt the first
tail opportunity. This brought tlx* animal to the ground.

when it appeared that the deceased hud ill-treated the

stick, was perfectly quiet.
Sttj'iirily of The Dog*

Rockingham county, New Hampshire, n few years ago.
’ possessed n dog that was remarkable for his snpac ty
He one day toid the do|'to go and find a handkeichiei
which his child had* lost .n a distant held whtle picking
berries. The dog started off with his uaunl alacrity,
j but in the course of an hcur or two he returned without
the handkerchief, looking as crest-fallen as though he
had been caught in a neig hbor*s sl-ppfo|<J. The mas
tei cuffed his earsshaiply, and toid him to go ami try
again, and not come oat k until he found it. The
dog started again with apparent reluctance, while the
master followed at n distance behind and unperccived.
The dog went towards the field where the child had
picked the berries, and sat down on lus haunches—
held down his head—and appeared to be in a deep bi own
study.
lie sat in this attitude lor perhaps ha I fan hour, when
hesuddenlyjumpedupwitha peculiar yell ol exuiatiton,
and started ton one corner of ihe tield. Here he stopped
for a moment ,ond then coiciiienced trotting around
the field going nbout three feet fioin the fence the first
time, about si* the second, and thus continuing to near
the middle at eachsucceeJing circle. He went round the
held about twenty times, when he lumped up into the air
with a loud yellol triumph, picked up the handkerchief,
and started tor home.

Asa further illustration of the estimation in which
Col. Benton bekl Mr. Cass in 1846, we will repeat tome
remarks marie by the former shortly after his great
speech in the Senate. The conversnbon dosing which
it was uttered, was in no case confl lential, and as its
tone was in precise conformity with the ajieech, there
can he no impropriety in making it public.
A friend of ours meeting the great Missourian on the
Avenue in took occasion to make his
I acknowledgements for the information and mstracuon
he had obtained from reading the speech in question.—
| Colonel Benton received thanks most graciously, and
; with that concousnessof his superior wisdom which he
j always betrays in Ins intercourse with M genfh* and sim
ple.” After reiterating bis obligations to the Colonel
‘lor his exposition, of the whole Oregon question, the
treaty of Ulieclit, and many collateral subjects, nod
| for much information not accessible from any other
source the geiypemen inquired what was intended by
‘‘cut ting Cans for the simplea”—a process promised or
] performed by Col. Benton in his speech in the Senate.
I “Why, sir, do you not understand that I” said the
j Colonel. “Sir, it is a phrase of peculiar significance
and force in uiy State. Our horses are occasionally af
flicted with a malady, a distemper, sir, jtnown ns the
I “simples.” Probably the same disease prevails in oth
| er partsof the country, under a different name ■ but we
will call it the simples, sir. It is a sort of blindness,
I physical and mental. A horse so utllicied is utterly
stupified and stultified, sir. The operation of his in
stincts is suspended—his senses are all gone, and he is
liable to any diftcription dfoondenf. In this condition,
sir, a man versed in the verterinary art is applied to.—
| He cuts a particular nerve, and the animal is generally
. restor'd at once. I cut Cnflpl'or the sinmtes, and it cur
ed him But I F\ad another remedy, in case this failed
j him, sir Our horses are liable to a disease of a differ-
I ent—description it is called the “big head’'—and arises
from inch'd organic functions. They are attacks sud
denly, sir, and the malady (s almost always fetal. Un

; times, sir, we slioot ihe horse in the neck, when he is in
I great suffering, and instances hove been known of life

The Whig Tint form.
The New Orleans Bulletin replies to those locOs who
complain that the Convention in Philadelphia did not
promulgate any platform of principles.
” Why should they have done so 1 Where was the
necessity of it? The Whig plat form is welt known,
and is immutable. It is the broad fiatporm of the
Constitution, with the acknowieded right oi people
to door to demand anything authorized by that instru
ment and denying the power ot ear rulers to do any
thing in violation of its provisions. That is the Whig
pHltJorw Their delego m to the Convention weie
not nutliorised to promulgate or pledge them or then
candidate to any other platform ; and we hope the day
is far distant before a Whig Fresid nt will shape his
measures or avow his obligation to carry out the prin
cjplesor popey designated by an irreoponHe body alter
the example ol .Mr. Polk and* the Baltimore Convention
ol 1841.
‘The Man with Four Faces.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Express, makes the foilowingtt&rtling revelations:
I have seen no h as than four lives of Cos*, intended
lor different meridiiit*. There were two editions issu
ed in March lost, and two in June.—the two in March
were, in character nnlike those of June, and the two
of June like those of March, obviously designed for n
Southern and Northern Market. All attempts nt ex
planation only rnnfo* the matter worse. Here are the
hooks and here arc alterations,—free trade opinions In
serted in me edition, and omitted in the other, —tlie
letter ot Nicholson, against the” Wihnot Proviso,” in
serted in one, and opinions upon the French Revolu
lion taking its place m the other, jfoeteod of being Ja
nus laced, there Gen. Cass has four R,tp. one for each
of the different points of the compass. He looks North
and West, in lavorol internal Improvements.
Southward he endorses Mr Polk'Rvotes against them
and approves of all that he h/Is done. He has two fa
ces upon the Wilmot Proviso, two upon the tariff’, two
upon the French King and Revolution, and his friends
| have shown him up in so ninny ways, that he has more
lives than a cat. The last i hove seen is in German,
and this is expressly intended by it* omissions and addi
tions, to mislead and deceive that forge portion of
our adopted citizens, who dwell among ue. These lii
tie tricks of little politicians, can hardly hove any other
effect,now that they are exposed, than to recoil upon
those .who make nee ot them tor party success.

In 1840 When Gen, Harrison was likely to be nomi
nated for the Presidency, there was pretty much such

eloquently, as no doubt he will when we speaks now.
“ Should we not l he said ) iiuttly subject ourselves

Private XV orttu
Hie following honorable testimony rr speeting Gen*
Taylor’s private character, is from a source that defies
partisan detraction :
“ At rite conference ot the Congressional and Pres
byterian ministers ol Hillsboro’ county, N H aesrm
bled on the Uth of June, ths Kev. Mr Lamb, who
was formerlya chaplain in the anny under Gen Tay
lor at hort Jessup, said that the opening lor him to do
good in the amiy wan through Gen. Taylor, and that
through the General's influence a temperance society
was formed, by means of w hich 00 .drunkards were
reformed , tli.it the General told him that it was ill s
sham lor a man to pretend he could not stand the damps
and heats ot the South withou* spirituous liquors. Gen.
I was a total abstinence mun, and the only cormnand
ing ntlv-er who did not drill hu troops on the Sabbath.
■Mr. Lumb also stated that Gen. T. attended ins church
regularly,and used no profane language Mr. Lamb
closed by saying that he was no politician, nor did he
wish lus remarks to be viewed in a politisal light : iie
merely made them to show that the way lor doing
good liy tracts, by the temperance unuse, and by ths
preached word, was opened by Gen. Taylor.”
