The Safest Seat in The Cars. A grout deal has been said and written bout the safest place in a railway car.? a Some assert that the nearer the locomotive a the better; and some the most distant.? s Uf' course there is no positon that is nb- o solwtely safe. Whirling along at 40 and a 50 miles nn hour, is in itself dangerous, o rendering a seat in a depot hardly safe. * An exchange has tho following remarks v ot the subject: b The frequency of collisions on railroads a has raised the question, which is the place a of greatest security in a railroad train! f The Railroad Journal gives the following ? as an answer: It is very well known that t the car nearest the engine is exposod to < the least dust, and, t\je rear car of a t t ain is generally safer than the front car. The safest is probably the last ear but one' 1 in a train of ..iore than two cars; there are < fewer chances of accidents to this than < any o'Jior. < If it is a way train at moderate speed, i or any train standing still, a collision is < possible from another train in (ho rear, 1 in which case the last car receives the first 1 shock. Again the engine and tho front 1 cars of a train wi'l often go over a broken > rail, or a cow, or stone, without detriment. < while the last car, having nothing to draw I it into a liuo of the train, is free to leave the track. Next to the forward c?t; the rear car is probably the most unsafe in the train. The safest seat is probably near the centre of tho last car but one, and in a very long train, in the centres of the last Iwj or three cars next to the last. I Woman in Jail for Debt.?There i9 now a widow woman incarcerated in tho Portland jail for no other offence than ' of being unabVe to meet her labilities. The facta are these: ! The husband of this lady died a few ( years since, leaving her about three hun- | dred dollars. He was a young man well < known in this community, and respected. 1 Sin.* his decease she has resided with her J aged and poor parents and btcome responsible for the rent of tho house. Gradually the sm*ll amount left her, melted away, N and finally when the rent bill came in she a was uuable to pay it. 8he was sued, j judgment obtained, and execution taken J out. The usual bond to disclose was giv- t en, and tho time appointed, but, by a v very natural mistake on her part, it was " not made. Tho consequence was, that she must involve her sureties or go to jail. 1 Like an honorable woman, she chose the , latter; and there she now is?a prisoner, t within tho gloomy walls of that terrible J building.?[Portland (Afainc) Argus. I Sugar of Milk for Invalids. ? A short time ago l)r. Turnbull, of Liver- '' pool, read to tho Literary and Philoaoplii- , c&l Society a paper on the use of sugar of iik as an article of food in consumption v and other pulmonary diseases. It now c appears thai whey is coming into extensive e use in Germany in the treatment not only t .# - ' oi consumption, out also of gout and rheu- k matism, and that some German physicians ' entertain opinions as to the bencfiichd ! yiuym fcltai rfSllgnrnf iniJlc (tho mprrtxlionl y to which whey owes its virtues) similar to those lately put forth by Dr. Turubull. , In the cheese dairies of this country the t whey is frequently giren to pigs, or other ? wise wasted, and the lactinc, or sugar of 1 milk, now met with in commerce, is r brought entirely from Europe, being pre- 1 pared chiefly in Switzerland. Its present " high price is, however, a great obstacle to c its generl use as a dietetic remedy; but it is moat desirable that so valuable an article of food should no longer be wasted, * and that therefore the attention of those r engaged in making cheese should be di- 1 reeled to the manufacture of litis other 1 Iiroduct from milk, which must sooner or ) ater become an important article of food x J - * ouu 01 commerce.

VV "Colonel," said he, "you have no confidence; if you have, lend 1110 a quarter for ?' ten minutes." " The pocket-book came out, anda$l note was giren to the stranger, who Jed ? the colonel to an adjoining sta'rway, and assured him that ho had n venerable father and mother at the Weddell; but '-colonel, ?' you have no confidence, if you had, you In w u'd lend me $&00 for an hour " Th? w colonel assumed hi* new friend that he I had not that amount; that #270 win all then iu hie possession; and after some ^ further converaation upon the condition ol of the Rcaonro and its people in bygone u, day*, the amount wan transferred by the ,,| colonel to the stranger, upon Ilia promise that at three o'clock he should meet Ui u, p and accompany him to room No, 78 Wed- U) dell House, where his venerable father j| end-mother were sojourning. u| Three o'elock came, no stranger.

We wero a witness of a very beautiful nd touching incident, a few days ago;? n incident, which, while it reminds us adly that life is indeed but "a pilgrimage vcr graves," still leads us to think pleasntly snd kindly of human nature, and f that nevoiMlying lore which may exist rithin the human heart. It was an aged I'oniin, with white hair and trembling lands, strewing flowers over the grave of , mother, though forty years had passed iway since the living had been sepirated rom the dead. It was indeed a beautiful md touching scene,?something very tenler and impressive?a tribute far more doqusnt than tearful eye or mournful onguo could bestow upon costly monument or marb'.o slab. Years and years 3ad pot obliterated from her mind the well loved memory of her sainted mother, >r dptroyed within her bosom one spark (list filial affection, which in some natures is truly "a love that liveth forsver." Blessings on all such kind, loving hearts, as that of this gray-haired woman! Few are there, in this changing world, who thus cherish tho memory of the loved unci lost. The living are loved, but how 10011 do w^seem to forget the dead. IIow rew of us keep their memories fresh and? 'Gn-en in our souls."?Gen, H. Gazette. Assassination. A correspondent gives us full particulars if the assassination of Mr. Alpheus Jones by Mr. Miller at Barnes' precinct, in this county, which we mentioned briefly a few weeks mice.?Montgomery Alabama Journal. "Ono of the most bloody deeds on record ivns not long since committed by the licentious and unprincipled wretch, I)r. S. M. VV. D. I. Miller, 011 the person of Mr. Alphcus Jones, a respectable citizen of this county. The facts in relation to this outrage arc as follows: Said Miller had for some months, been in the employment of said Jones, and in the night of the 5th of June last, Jones' ivite left his couch and crept softly to that if l)r. Miller, to which place Jones soon folowed her, and attempted to drag her out of led; but while doing this, Miller cruelly itabbed and chopped him with a huge knife vhich is supposed to have been concealed ibout the bed. After receiving many death lealing strokes from this midnight assassin ones, with his entrails in his hands, fled to he house of his neighbor, Mr. Supples, to vhich place he was pursued by Mrs. Jones ind Miller, who had a double barrelled gun. fortunately, Jones, who was judicious nough to abandon the road and take the vooda, reached there before them, and fell xhauated in the door just as they arrived at he gate. Not being allowed entrance they 10th returned to Jones' money, (about 8-100) tut which, during their absence, had been iccured by Jones' mother an aged and dorepid lady, Miller mounted his horse aud 00k flight. Mr. Jonea has lain in a hopeess and deplorable condition at the house of if r Supple ever since, untilhis death on Friay last miller escaped on a blr.ck stallion, with a riiite face, taking with him a pair of phyaiian's saddlebags?black?with patent covrs. He (Miller) is a man of low diminuive statue, black hair and eyes, contracted ?row, and rather feminine voice. Said Miler is a South Carolinian by birth, and has elations in Alabama and Florida?to the ornier or latter of which places he may iave made his escape. This unmitigated scoundrel should be araigned nnd brought to justice. It is hoped hat his Excelleucy, the Governor, w ill issue i proclamation offering a reward, sufficient o authorize this undertaking. There are nany individuals who will readily pursue he author of this bloody deed, who yet goes nwhipped of justice, and apprehend him, nd bring him before lbs tribunal of our ountry. ^ Gun.

One day, when in his scat n the House, Mr, (>allatioii noticed a all, lank, uncouth looking individual, wi.li ong locks of hair hanging over his brows mil face, while a queue hung down his ?ack, tied with an eel skin. The dress of his individual was singular?his manner md deportment that of a hackwoodsuiAn The appearance of so singular a character in the floor of the House of Koprcsentaives naturally attracted attention, and i member of his side asked who lie was dr. Gallation replied that it was the ncniber from the new State. "Well, aid his friend, he seems just the sort of a hap one might expect from such An univili/.ed region as Tennessee."

The Speakership?The Next Congress. We have refrained so far from speaking of the great national project, the Pacific R iil Road. Although from observation, I find conservatism is a dead'letter, yet, for one, I am willing to givo my aid, weak as it may be, to any enterprise, which will prove a source of improvement to our common country. There is one man in South Carolina, who, although a slaveholder, a resident of the soil, born and bred in the Western portion of the State, identified with every change for the State, whether for "weal or for woe" ?this man, having an influence in the National Legislature, will uso his efforts, not only to concillintc parties, but to promote that conservatism, which, in its ineipiency was advised by the great "law giver," Thomas Jefferson. The next Congress will be an exciting one, and this very question of the Pacific Rail Road* will be the chief cause. The Speaker of the House (our Western friend, the Hon. James L Orr,) can, and 1 ain sure, will use bis influence to have this Road constructed?it is a project, not calculated to aid one section of our republic, but the whole, the entire portion. Perhaps I speak sanguinarily of Mr. Orr's prospects! Nonsense?I might reply to my own exclamation. Mr. Orr not only deserves the post of Speakership, but richly merits it, and ho will obtain it without any exertion whatever on his part. The following we find in the New York Herald of the 20th nit.: "Our special correspondent writes that President Pierce is determined to leave the subject of the proposed railroad to the Pacific an open question, for settlement by Congress, the different State legislatures, and the people. In his message to Congress next December he will merely give the result of the labors of the different exploring expeditions so far as known, w ithout advocating any particular route or even the r.-ad itself. ticn. Pierce concludes in the opinion expressed in this journal at the lime the debate was going on in Jonprcss relative to the imposition upon the President n| the extraordinary duties of attending to the surveying of rail.vid routes. IIo is of the opinion that lie was elected President of the United States, not President of a railroad, by the people. As to the Cabinet, it is understood that its members are opposed, upon the ground of unconstitutionality, to any project which will grant more than the mere right of way to the rond. Under nny circumstances, however, the people have determined that the road must bo built. The only real difficulty in the way is tho fixing upon tho route. Hon. James L. Orr?Young America? Fast Steaming, Etc., Etc. VV>. notice that young America lately got up n jollification in New York, upon the occasion of (Jeorgc Saunders, Esq., late editor of the Democratic Review, having received the appointment of Consul to Liverpool.? Amongst the gnests were Hon. J. L. Orr, of South Carolina; Gov. Cobb, of Georgia; Senator Cooper, of Pennsylvania ; Col. Preston, the newly elected Whig member of Congress from tho Louisville District in Kentucky; Sidney Webster, Esq, Private Secretary to the President ; Col. Ward, of Georgia; J. S. Thrasher, Esq., of Cubsn memory ; Col. Eorney, Clerk of the House of Representatives, and severs) gentlemen from New Orleans. Young America was in high glee, though some of the company, Gov Cobb for one, avowed their sllegisnee to the "Old Fogies." Col. Preston, of Kentucky, was pleased to refer to Col. Orr ne next speaker r* the House of Representatives, which refsrctKO Wiii pfwiiiptiy followed by Col. Fornev, who toasted him as the next Speaker. The reply of Col. Orr. like everything else from biin, was in good taste, keeping himself out of view, and paying well merited tribute to Hon. lavngdon Cheves, who had so ably filled the Speaker's Chair. Whatever Col. Orr, in his modesty, may decline to any of himself, we have good reason to know that his ability as s presiding officer is fully recognized by the House; from every quarter have we heard warm commendation of the manner in which, during the last session, he presided over the Committee of the Whole. Speaker or not, he has made his mark in Sonth Carolina and at Washington. Mr.'Raymond, of the Times, though a Whig, seems to have a warm sympathy with the epirit of the Administration.

Throe boats were immediately lowered, each containing live men, and commanded by thu Captain, first and second mate. The second, mate killed the first whale and towed htui to the sh:p.? The other w hales started oil", pursued by the Captai.i and first mate. This was in longitude about 77?ill latitude about 1>4. They continued the pursuit,and finally the Captain ., fastened and killed a 40 barrel sperm whale, lty this time night began to set in, and no A vessel was to be seen from the boats, in any si direction. This was rather startling,us they had no provisions or water on board, but up- . on consultation, they concluded to stick by the whale until morning in the hopo that * with returning daylight they should be able * to find their vessel. When rooming broke, c the sky was anxiously scanned, but no ves- t| sel was to be seen. All that day was spent in cruising around after her, and at night another consultation was held. They had v compasses, but n?? time, and the captain or- q dercd, that during the night they should 0 each jjo in a certain direction, and meet in . mo'iiing. The mate, Mr. Samuel Genn, of Provincetown,states that he followed these 8 directions carefully, but when morning 9 dawned, the Captain's boat was not to be found. He spent a portion of the next day in searching for the captain, but finding his cfibrts vain, and that his crew were beginning to sulVer dreadfully for food and water, 4 they being in an open w hale-boat, without c protection from the fierce rays of the sur., he concluded that it was best for him to . shape his course for the nearest land, which lie did by steering a .\. N. \V. course. They 41 had a sail, but it was not of much u-e.? t Their sufferings from this time cannot bode- ? scribed, llut once tliey saw a vessel. She was at some distance, and the sou was verv rough, so that the mate dccuicd it impossi- '' ble witli safely to steer for her ; and so those I on board did not see the boat, they witnessed her disappearance with the feeling that tneir last hopo was leasing them. It now began to blow severely, and the mate was obliged to rig a "drug"' with his ores and " haling lines, with wli:ch lie was enabled to . lii' to without d itigor. \\ h?n tlic {^.iIe cposed ho again put sail <>a the lioi.t, but the ' crow were almost at tlu* last gasp of suffer- 1 injf ; Their lips were black, and death seem- I ed to stare them in the faee. For tho last twenty-four hours, ho great were the pangs ol thirst, that they began to drink the silt * water, whieh usually brings on delirium and ii death in a short time. At the end of the Oth t day they mado Cape Fear, and went ashore, reaching Beaufort, N. C. Mr. Conn and one of the crew, Cornelius Prince, of Huston, worked their passage in a vessel to New York, and reached this city on Sunday last, r and are now at Provineetown. < What has been the fate of the captain and j the live men in his hoat is unknown. They may have discovered tho vessel, or they may have reached the shore. If they did not, ' they have |ir?d?nbly all perished. There was s a snoit r.dn, one day while they were on I: hoard, hut they had uo means to catch it.? s The second mate and five men are on hoard . the vessel, and shu is therefore probably safe, and will probably arrive at some Allan tic port in a few days The faco of the m ito J still bears the impress of the terrible suffer- v inga he lies undergone,jn parched snd hlackcued lips,and sunken and Hostli-lik* f.?.tores. .

Heart.?I once heard s 1 young lady nay to an indiv idunl, "Your coun- I t nance to ire is like the risieg sun. for it , always gladd. ns me with aeheeiful look." A merry or a cheerful countenance is tine 1 of the things Jeremy T*\ lor said his ene- ' inies and p. r-eniters could not take aw,ay I from him. There are some p.-ntons who spend their lives in this world as they would xjieiid (heir liv% -a if shut up in a dungeon.? Kvery thing in made gloomy and forbidding. They go mourning ami complaining from i day to day,they have so little, snd sr? con- | stantly anxious lest what they have should escape their hands. They always look upon th<- dark side, and can never enjoy the good. ' That is not religion. Religion makes the i heart cheerful, and when its large and be- | nevolent principles are exercised, nihil w ill be happy iu spite of himself. I The industrious boedoea not stop to cornplain that there are so many poisonous ' flowers and thorny branches on its foail, but t buzzes on, aalectlng honey, where lie can ( find it, and passing quietly by the places where it is not. There is enough in this world to complain alamt and tind fault with, ' if men have the disposition. 1 We may travel on a hard and uneven road, , but with a cheerful spirit, nnd heart to praise .
