GENERAL ADV "HAVE PATIENCE." Supplying Steam Boilers with Water. A more efficient mode of supplying steam boilers with water has been introdnoed by an English inventor. Over or above the | level of the boiler there is fitted np a olosed i cistern, into which the feed water is pri' marily supplied. The feed pipe leading from the source of supply is passed through the side of the cistern and mad* to discharge into the interior of a cook or cylindrical valve ohamber in the interior of the cistern; this valve acts by a partial revolution on its horizontal axis, and it has opening out from each end of it a branch pipe, the opposite ends of such pipes terminating in a hollow ball or spherical chamber. In this way the two pipes form combinedly a lever for the hollow ball, which is both a float and a weight. This valvular arrangement is put in communication with the boiler by means of two pipes, one passing down ta the bottom of the boiler, and the other only to the proper working water level. Whenever the water level falls too low, the steam pipe, which does not descend to the boiler's bottom, becomes uncovered by the water, and then steam rushes up, and enters the valve in the overhead cistern; at this time the hollow ball is at the bottom of the cistern, bv reason of the weight of water in it and in the pipes, all those parts being filled. But the entering steam, as it passes along one of the level pipes, dislodges all the water from the ball and pipos, and the ball consequently at once rises to the top of its ascent in the cistern. This movement then opens up the passage of the feed water into the boiler, through the low dipping pipe. When the proper working level of water has been again attained, the steam admission to the cistern if again closed by the water in the boiler, and no more water can then enter, as there is an unbalanced pressure opposing its admission,the hollow ball and pipes now fill again with water, and the ball descends in readiness for another action. One of the Speeches. The moat refreshing specimen of a speech in the "spread eagle" style, we have met with for a long time, was recently delivered in the Missouri Legislature, by one Gen. Riley. As the author is evidently a trump we feel disposed to help immortalise him by publishing his speech in full. After a long and heated discussion on the reference of a bill amending the charter of the city of Carondolet, to a standing committee of the House, Mr. Riley obtained the floor, and addressed the House : Mb. Speakeb : Everybody is a pitching into this matter like toad frogs into a willow swamp, on a lovely evening in the balmy month of June when the mellow light of the full moon fills with a delicious flood, the thin, ethereal, atmospheric air. [Applause ] Sir, I want to put a word, or perhaps a word and a half. There seems to be a disposition to fight. I say, if there's any fighting to be done, come on with your corn-cobs and lightning bugs ! [Applause.] In the language of an ancient Roman, Mr. Speaker, you must excuse me for my latitudinosity and circumlutorionsness. My old blunderbuss scatters amazingly, but if anybody, gets peppered, it ain't my fault if they are in the way. Sir, these dandaical, supersquirtical mahogany-faced gentry—what do they know about the blessings of freedom f About as much, sir, as a toad-frog does of high glory. Do they think they can escape HMf I'll follow them through pandemonium tnd high water. [Cheers and laughter.] These are the ones who have got our liberty-pole off its perpendicularity. 'Tis they who would rend the stars ana stripea —that glorious flag, the blood of our revolutionary fathers emblemed in its red.— The purity of the cause for which they died—denoted by the white; the blue— the freedom they attained, like the azure air that wraps their native hills and lingers on their lovely plains. [Cheers.] The high bird of liberty sits perched on the topmost branch, but there is secession salt on his glorious tail. I fear he will no more spread his noble pinions to soar beyond the azure regions of the boreal pole. But let not Missouri pull the last feather from his sheltering wing to plume a shaft to pierco his noble breast; or what is the same, make a pen to sign a secession ordinance. Applause.] Alas, poor bird, if they drive you from the branches of the hemlock of the North, and the Palmetto of the South, come over to the gum tree of the West, and we will protect your noble birdship while water grows and grass runs. Immense applause.] Mr. Speaker, I subside for the present. BUSINESS CARDS. TD OBERT BAUR,—BOOK BINDER, NORTH East corner of Public Square and Main-st Wilkeabarre.

The Pczzled Irishman.—During our last conflict with Great Britain, a number of our troops were engaged in repairing' the fortifications of Niagara, and wnilat so engaged the enemy commenced a pretty sharp fire, so that it occupied nearly the whole of the time of our forces to keep ou the look out for the shots of the enemy. Finding that they did not make much headway, they stationed a son of the Emerald Isle to give warning when a shot or shell was coming. This tho sentinel faithfully performed, alternately*singing out, " shot," " shell," " shot," " shell," until finally the enemy started a Congreve rocket, which Pat had never seen before.

Old Hickory, turning short toward him, and looking him full in the face said: "If you would cheat the Lord you would cheat the country., I will have nothing to do with you, nor any like you.

And what is the cause 7— Echo answers " buncombe," sir, " bunoombe." Tho people have been fed on buncombe, while a lot of spavined, ringboned, ham-strung, wind-galled, swyn-oyed, aplit-hooied, distempered, polleviled, potbellied politicians have had their noses to the publio orib until there ain't fodder enough left to make gruel for a sick grasshopper. [Cheers and laughter.] Sir, these hungry brats keep tugging at the public pap. They say, "let down your milk, Suke, or you'll have a split bag."— Do they think they can staff such buneome down our craw ? No sir; you might as well try to stuff butter in a wild cat with a hot awl. [Continued laughter.] The thing can't be did. The publio grindstone is a great institution, sir; yes sir, a great institution. One of the greatest, perhaps, that ever rose, reigned or fell. But, sir, there is too much private cutlery ground. The thing won't pay. Occasionally a big axe is brought in to be fixed up, ostensibly for the purpose of hewing dbwn the gnarled trunks of error and clearing out the brushwood of ignoranoe and folly that obstruct the pnblio highway of progress. The maohine whirls; the axe is applied. The lookers-on are enchanted with the brilliant sparks elicited. The tool is polished; keenly edged; and while the publio stare in gaping expeotanoy of seeing the road cleared, the instrument is taken off to improve the private acres of some "faithful friend of the people." What is the result ? The obstructions remain unmoved. The people curse because the oar lags—or if it does move, 'tis at the expense of a broken wheel and jaded and core-baoked team. I tell you, the thing won't pay. The time will come when the nasal promontories of these disinterested grinders will be put to the stone instead of the hardware. [Applause.] I am afraid the maohine is a-going to stop. The grease is giving out thundering fast. It is beginning to ereak on its axis.
