Gloves and Cigars. \ I must really have a new pair of gloves, James,\ said Mrs. Morris to Lor husband, as theysat together after ten. Mr. Morris had been reading the evening paper, but he laid it down and looked cross ly up, \ Really,\ he said, \you seem to mo to waste more money on gloves than any -woman I oyer know. It was only last week I gave you money to buy a now pair.\ Tbo wife colored, and was about to an swer tartly; f«r she felt that her husband hod no cause for his crossness; but remem bering that \u soft answer turncth away wrath,\ sho said, \ Surely you have forgot- ten, James. It was more than a month since I bought my last pair of gloves; and I have been out a great deal, as you know, in that time.\ \Humph!\ said Mr. Morris, taking up the papor again., For several minutes there was silence.— Tho wife continued her sewing, and the hus band read sulkily on; at last, as if sensible that ho had been unneci swuily harsh, he ven \It is agreed: I will pay ? q>iarterly, be- ginningjto night.\ And he took put - his purse and counted *«ven pounds ten shil lings into his' wife's hand. \'*\ And how did the bargain turn out?

Mr. Morris paid the bnllance, with a long face, but witbout a word of comment. Ho has ever since given, of his own accord, the ten pound allowance to his wife. 'Husbands who think their wives waste | money on gloves, should bo careful to waste none on cigars. j. w. • life of the West Point Cadet. \ He sleeps in the barrocks,'in a room with one other; at'five in summer, and at half past five, in tho winter, the reveille awakens him; ho immediately arises, doubles up bis blankets and mattrass, and places' them on the bead of his iron bedstead ; he studies until seven o'clock; at that hour the dram beats for breakfast, and the cadets fall into rank and proceed to tbo mess ball. Twen ty minutes is the usual time spent at broak- A'TANKER'WEDDING IN NEW YORK.— Chancing to visit the office of Alderman -, the other day,-we witnessed a by- New and Destructive Engines of \War. Tho Paris correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette gives tho following account of new engines of destruction, which will be brought into requisition by tbo present Europoan war. He, says;— \The now invention for tbo moro rapid destruction of human beings, which tho war is bringing to light, especially in England will surpass all expectations. The arsenals of England have for a long time been closed to visitors, even to members of Parliament, while these new and terrible machines were being constructed and experimented upon, and no knowledge of their existence even was permitted until now called forth by actual service. Many years ago the English Gov ernment had a proposition boforo them to adopt Wagner's floating gun, and hesitated, A member of Parliament exclaimed: \Ho demands but £300,000, and yet you hesi Into I Hasten to buy this machine, declare war against France, and you will destroy hor marine in a few days time!\ No atten tion was paid to this apostrophe at tho time in France, and apparently none in England But this terrible, invention of which tho public has ceased to talk, and which was even ridiculed at tho time, lias been matu ring in concealment in the arsenals of Wool wich, and is now ready to go out on its work of destruction. \Tho Count Lavalctte, captain of milli tnry marine in Franco, who knew tho con struction of this gun, it is said made endeav ors to have it adopted by tho minister of marine under Louis Philippe. It is simply a long Congrcvo gun which glides along on tho water in a straight line till it strikes the vessel at which it is directed, when it thrusts fast. Guani-iuountir.g takes place at half- post seven, and twenty-four are placed on guard over}' day. At eight o'clock the bu gle sounds, and tho recitations commence. At ouo o'clock tho bugle again sounds, tho professors dismiss their respective stations, the cadets form ranks opposite the barracks and march to dinner. Between eleven and one a part of the cadets are occupied in riding, and others in fencing, daily. After j dinner they have until two o'clock for rec menial ceremony that will bear narrating. The bridegroom was a weather-beaten countryman, a perfect picture of good na ture,'but so tall that in\ entering'the portals of the bffico'an involuntary obeisance was necessary;\ while ' the artificial hollyhocks' on the summit of tho bride's bonnet just touched the elbow cf her expected lord.— Their entrance was preceded by an urchin with dilapidated garments, who claimed and received three coppers as his fee for guiding them to the spot. \ What can I do for you, my good friends?\ asked tho urbane Alderman, as if in utter' ignorance of tho object of thoir vis it. \ Pray be seated, madam.\ \Well 'Squire,\ answered the groom, with a complacent glance at the filagree breast pin that fastened a dashing ribbon reation, and from two to four thoy are em ployed in recitations. At four tho bugle sounds, and they go either to battallion or light artillery drill. This exerciso lasts an hour and a half. After that thoy devote tho time to recreation until parade, which takes place at sunset. After parade, thoy form into rank in front of the barracks, and the names of the delinquents are read by an officer of the cadets. Supper comes next, and after supper recreation until eight o'clock, when tho bugle sounds to call to quarters, and every cadet must be found in his room within a few minutes at study, and must remain there thus employed until half- past nine. At half-past niuo the bugle again sounds; this is called tattoo; and at ten tho drum taps, and every cadet must be in bed, having his light extinguished, and must remain there until morning. It) du ring the night, the cadet is found absent from bis room more than thirty minutes, and does not givo a satisfactory account of himself, charges are preferred against him, and bo is court-martialed. Tho use of in toxicating drinks and tobacco i3 strictly re pudiated ; so aro playing at chess, wearing whiskers, and a great mauy other things.— The punishment to which cadets are liable aro privation of recreation, etc., extra hours of duty, reprimands, arrests, or confinement to his room or tent; confinement in light prison, confinement in dark prison, dismis sion with the privilege of resigning, and tured a' remark'.by* way of \indirect apology.

And as to. the. gloves, you know you are very particular about my having gloves always nice, and scold mo if I appear in the streets with a shabby pair on.\ Mr. Morns know all this to bo true, and felt still moro ashamed of his conduct; how- ever, like most men, ho >\as too proud I to confess his error, except indirectly. Ho took out his pocket-book, and said, \ How much will satisfy you for a year, not for f loves only, but for all tho other etceteras? will make you an alJowanco, and then you need not ask mo for money whenever you want a pair of gloves or a new handker chief.\ ** The wife's eyes glistened with dulight.— Shu thought lor a moment, ami then said, \ I will undertake, on ten pounds, to find mysolf in all these things.\ Mr. Norris dropped tho newspaper as if it had been red-hot, and stared at his wife.— \I believe,\ bo said, \you women think that wo men are made of money. I don't spend ten pounds in gloves and handkerchiefs in half a dozen years.\ Mrs. Morris did not reply instantly, for sbo was determined to kucp her temper; but tho quickness with which the needle, mo ved, showed that sho had some difficulty to be amiable. At last sho said, u But ho much do you spend in cigars j\ This was a liom« thrust, for Mr. Morris was an inveterate smoker; and consumed twice as much on this needless luxury as I tho sum bis wifo asked. He picked up tbo • paper and mado no reply. t \I don't wish you to give up smoking, since you enjoy it so much,\ sho aaid; \ but •urely cigars are no moro necasary to a gen- tlemon, than arc gloves and hntidkorehiefs to a lady; and if you expend twenty pounds in tho one, I don't »ec why you should complain of my wishing ten pounds for the otber.\ r - - \-Pshaw 1\ said bor husband, finally, \ I . don't *pcnd twenty pounds a yenr in cigars, \it-can't.be.\ \ You bring homo a box every three weeks, t^. and. each box, you say, costs about twenty- four shillings, which, at tno end of tho year, amounts to more than twenty pounds.\ Mr. Morris fidgeted on his pent. His wife saw her advantage, and, smiling to herself, pursued it \ If you had counted up,\ she wild, \as I have, ovcry shilling you have given mo for gloves, handkerchief, shoes, and ribbons^during a year, you would find it amounted to ten pounds; and if you had kept a statement of what your cigars cost, you would seo that I am correct m inv es timate 93 to them.\ v '^T 1 !

It can not bo pre vented from passing through the most con tracted straits where ships pass. \ The submarine boats are so perfected at this moment, that they can reach and attach a burner to an enemy's ship without run ning the least danger. Experiments aro also being made with an asphyxiating ball, which does not kill, but wliich paralyzes an en tiro crew for several hours, or until thoy I mado aro prisoners. Thoy are embarking into a largo number of burning explosive balls, which explode invariably when they strike, even in the body of a horse, for they iiitlnmo nt tho moment of discbarge from a gun, and lly burning liko small Coiigrcves until tho moment of explosion, when they may apply fire to tho ammunition chests aud other inflammablo material, as easily and as surely as if thoy wore to fall in a stubble field. \ Thoy aro furnishing two smaii steam boats of a siugular appearance, which will carry ouly two qnormous Paixhan guns, placed on-the foro part of tho vessel. Tho walls of theso little vessels have a thickness ol six feet, mado of oak, standing upright and this covered with a mattress of cotton substance, a foot and a half thick, which is 'impenetrable to a bullet, and this again j covered with a sheeting of iron and lead. Its prow has tbo angular form of a curiass, intended to turn bullets; t'-.e roof or deck is covered in the samo way, so as to allow the bombs to glido into tho sea without do ing damages. \The firo ship, very hoavy, and a bad sailur, will be towed and let loose at tbo proper moment, to approach near tho cne- HIV'H vessels, either whun at anchor or lying to, which it will attack foro and ttft with bombs thrown between wind and water, and sprinkling tho ship with a shower of Grecian liiy. One of theso burnors, taking by sur prise a Meet of vessels in a calm, could with ease destroy tho whole licet, ami vet it onlv * .til *» . * public dismiision. Through tho mouths of July and August the cadets aro encamped, and during the encampment tho instruction exclusively military.

POWDER.—Wo heard yesterday of a singular case ©f drying powder, which might have been attended with disastrous coiisoqucnccs. It appears that a short timo sinco a lot of damaged powder was brought to this city, and taken to the powder maga zine and landed. It was found to bo so wet as to bo perfectly useless, and it was deter mined by the parties owning it to throw it into tho river, which was accordingly done. A few kegs floated down the stieam and lodged among some drift wood, whero an oiiterprising German secured them. He went home, and immediately set his wits nt work about how he should reclaim the property and make it as good as new. A bright idea suddenly seized him, and being a shoemaker, he took bis old leather apron, and deposited the contents of two kegs in it, and being the possessor of a large ten plate stovo, ho placed tho apron on the inside on one of tho plates, shut the door and made a large firo occasionally opening tho door to stir tho material. Ho had been employed at this operation probably about half an hour, when the neighbors wero startled by a sudden shock, and on repair ing to the shop found tho gable end of tho Gorman's shanty completely caved in, while he was lying over in ono corner, as black as the nco of spades, with all bis hair singed off, and yelling most lustily. A portion of the stovo was found in a neighbor's yard, and tho balance of tho fur niture was scattered most promiscuously abroad. Ho was taken to a neighboring house, whero proper applications were mado suited to his condition. Af»cr his surprise was over, his first exclamation was, \ Tor toyvel! I tot not ter tarn wet sbtuff blow up nut me'and bust all over.— St. Louis Itepublican. THE surest way to fill a private apartmont, whether in a printing office, a cotton factory, or sausage shop, with visitors, is to place over tho door a placard, bearing tbo inscrip tion, \No admittance.\ No person ever read that prohibition over an entrance with out instantly being attacked by an ungov ernable desiro to rush right in. Mr. CoUoih on the'Nebraska'Bill Mr. Cullom said, \when he\ left Tennesse, he had not dreamed\ that'he'should be'call ed on to partjeipate in a vexed sectional question. Ho had come hither to contri bute his mito to the construction of the Pacific Railroad, to tho improvement of Westor'n rivers,\ and to the distribution of tbo public domain, swelling up, to ,1,500,- 000,000 of acres, part of which has been given away, in partial fragments, to favored States. Tin'had hoped to attend to thou sands of claimants, including those under tho French Spoliation bill; but it appears all these questions are ruled out of court.— The streams of legislation arc dammed up by this nefarious project—the Nebraska- Kansas bill—which ho denounced as the ' «om a shaking continued for sojnejnjmitT^ 118 ^ Nebraska—Filling Cp. . — . , TL f. 3u 9\e, issued at Council Bluff, work of politicians, to strangle the legisln-1 ™e Missouri, gives the following accont tioti of tho country, for personal aggrandize- ' the embryo Territory and the praDat!?'

Before be resumed his scat \i . t> g ti ton and others approached him anj ^| cd their hearty congratulation, ment. He behoved, in \tho face of God, that he would be a coward if he did not de nounce it. Ho would not be a Tonnessee- an if he did not cry out against this nefari ous plot against the peace and quiet of the coun f ry. Yes, Nebraska and Kansas is the hue and cry with which theso halls are made vocal. Amid tho sound of these cant phrases, we are told these Territories must have Governments given to them forthwith; and tho Compromise of 1820— tho work of our fathers, who pledged their honor to its support—must bo trodden un der foot. Gentlemen might talk to him about bad faith and outraged Southern hon or, but he would tell all sections this is a naked question of repudiation cr no repudi ation. Ho had no personal unkindness to ward any one, but ho would rather tread on tho verge of parliamentary rules, than on tho crumbling vergo of the Union in defense of the schemes of demagogues. This ques tion was sprung on him, startling him like n fire bell nt midnight. Whence came it? AVhero aro the pu' lie meetings of citizens, North or South—or tho petitions asking Congress to bring these sections by the ears, reopen the fountains of bitter waters, and to revivo the controversy wliich well nigh scv ered this Union ? Did tho appeal como from the South ? No. The responsibility devolves on a presidential aspirant, a defeat ed presidential aspirant of 1850. This is the starting point, and tho countty should know it. Where have been the South ?— Havo they been sleeping on tho watch tow er for 34 ywrs, that, it was necessary to wake them up to their interests by your big or little giants I [Laughter.l Mr. Douglass is tho great sanhedrim of the Stato of Illi nois, [renewed laughter] overshadowing eve rything, lie (Collom) bad never read the bill, nor did he expect ever to read it. lie demanded a response to tho question, How come this bill to be introduced by tho Sen ator fiom Illinois, who has out-IIeroded Her od, and ont-Southcrned the South. lie said ho had once looked into r. law book, and there found that in construing a law, it was cumstanccs of its passage. .Now he want ed to know tho intent and leading power which prompted this great question, and he would look at the surrounding circumstan ces. The Senator, in 1849 and 1850, pro posed to re-enact or extend the Missouri Compromise to tho Pacific, ponding the con troversy growing out of the Mexican acqui sition. At tho commencement of this Ses sion tho Little Giant put out the Nebraska bill as a feeler. There was no earthly idea up to that time, he would assail the Missou ri Compromise, but he did consent to the insertion of a clause that the principles of the Compromise of 1850 render the Mis souri Compromise inoperative—slightly in operative. [Laughter.] Tho Administra tion Journals advocated tho bill as introduced originally, and the Washington Union came out on Senator Dixon who advocated a di rect repeal of the Missouri compact. Mr. Nicholson, the editor, said: \Oh look! there is a whig from Kentucky, ami nn Ab olitionist (Mr. Sumner) attempting to break down tbo act of 1820, tho time honored Compromise.\ When ho mentioned the name of Douglass, ho felt as though he ought to ask pardon cf the Ccrr.rnitU*..— [Laughter.] What was tho next move ment? The insertion of the repealing c'ausc. The tender came from a suspicious source—from one of our ancient enemies. He thought he could show that there was n big torn cat under the mcnl-lub. [Laugh ter.] The Administration, to recover its lost strength, nt nnro seized on this as a means of nationalizing itself, and came back on tho Little Giant. Let us go a lit tle deeper, it said, nnd tho Little Giant gives the screw ono more turn nnd ex claims, \I was always for the repeal, con sidering the Missouri Compromise a damna ble ovil.\ [Laughter/) Mr. Douglas, when he first proposed hisISobraska bill, said this Missouri Compromise was too sacred for the Committee on Territories to touch, but it is not so now—oh, no! Mr. Cullom denied the North ever repudiated the compact.— Although they have always had a majority they havo never proposed to repeal tbo lino of 30 dcg. 30 as applicable to Missouri. It could not be shown as to the bill it was not non-intervention in its character. He de fended thoso who advocated and passed the Missouri Compromise, arid in speaking of Afr Clnv Jn oonnoctinn with ,t!u« mf.nsuro. replied to Mr. Breckenridgc, quoting from that gentleman's eulogy on the death of Mr. Clay, the following sentence: \ Who does not remember the three periods when the American system of Government was ox- jiosed to its severest trials—and who does not know that when history shall relato the struggles which preceded, and the disasters which wero averted by the Missouri Com now making to seize upon its choicest WSsr tions: g^\'* \ If Nebraska does not receive the as! tanco and protection of th9 General $ eminent, the country will nevertheless |j settled, and that speedily.
