A copulative conjunction, madam.
Why a copulative conjunction?
Because he "connects lake cases, end like moods
and tenses."
How does he connect "like cases?"
He unites parties, both of whom are in love;
which I take to be that both ate in the tame ease.
Very well. Flow rifles he connect .like muock?"
The parties to be united are, I suppose, both in a
mood to be married, and are thud in Wile moods."
Rut how does he Connect "like tbnaea?"
If both are devirno. at the time of the reremony;
of being immediately united. an I presume is always
the ease, then, both are, at that time, in the present
tense; and thus "he connect.. like tenses."
Does such a copulative conjunction contract like

No—Madam—that is not scrintrlinr to the r Ilea
of Cupid's crammer. His rule is, the "copulative
conjunctions connect on/ike vender., or rather c 0..-

Satierday Morning, Alm. 19.
Improved Safety latnp.—Mr. J. B. - Fletcher of
Bromsgrove, England, has matte an improvement on
e.the Davy" well worthy the attention of the philan
thropist and the curious in science. A full descrip
tion of the article is given in the Worcester Chroni
cle, from which we learn Mr. Fletcher was first stim
ulated to direct his inventive capacity in this line of
research by considering that the feeble light obtain
ed from "The Davy" id the principal cause of the
reluctance of miners to use it, and is sometimes an
absolute bar to its employment. 'lndeed in many
places its use is confined to the ascertaining the pre
sence or abseace ormfliainiatory 'gas and is seldom
or never brought into operation to light flu miner
at his dangerous toils. It has, moreov er , . been es
tablished that if Dayy's lamp be carried quickly along
or exposed to the current of air, the flame is driven
through the wire gauze sufficiently to cause an ex
plosion, and danger also arias from the rapidity with
which, when exposed to inflammable gas, the upper
part becomes red hot and falls to pieces. In that of
Mr. Fletcher these and other defects are obviated.—
Instead of a feeble light, there is the-full power of a
bull's eye and reflector. It islaholly protected from
the effects of a lateral current of air, nor is there a
possibility of any part of itming heated. By
an ingenious contrivance , a erful light is affond
tali,
el so long as pure air is &dun , but on the admis
sion of inflammable gas, the flame of the lamp is im
mediately extinguished, and thus the evil furnishes'
its own remedy. It somewhat resembles in ingenui
ty of contrivance, the breathing apparatus which na
ture has provided in animal hie, by means" of which,
though we arc allowed freely to respire pure air, yet
on the presense of noxious gases, the admission of
the impure Medium is prevented. Another recom
mendation of Mr. Fletcher's lamp is the cheapness
of its construction, which exceeds that' of any . other
safety lamp now in use. With such a lamp as this
at hand affording a cheap, powerful, and, above all, a
perfecty safe light it is anxiously to be desired that
the miners, too often nuMered reckless It .their
constant exposure to danger, Willrio longer use naked
candles. Mr. Fletcher's experiment were originally
set on foot in samt-iire-damp-pits in Lancaster, where
the idea which he has now so ably developed,fiest oc
curred to hull. If those destroyers of humaniffe, falsely
designated heroreandeonquerors, receive their treed
of aliplause, what triumph shall be reserved for the
friend of science, whose object is not to destroy but
o save.
We hope soon to see this admirable improvement
brought to our country, as their necessity is every
44 becoming more apparent in our, mining opera
tion&
The Peruveyleanian Rebuked—At the time when
'the recognition of the Hopkins' house by the Senate
burst upon our community like a thunder-clap, the
PennsylVanhin, through one of its letter writers, Was
pleased to vituperate the conduct of Mr. Fraley in
reference to his concave, Mr. Miller, and stigmatize
by the name of "malignant abuse" his appeal to the
virtue and patriotism of the Senate. Mr. Miller has
inconsequence addressed a letter to the Editor, the
following extract from which rebukes in,a dignified
manner the ahanieful system of the loco press, which
Mae a choice collection of "epithets and adjectives"
thrown promiscuously in a box, and when one-is
needed, it is drawn out, lottery fashion, and append
ed to the necessary noun proper :
"While I am thus doing justice to others, I can not
and aught nut, omit extending it to my much re
spected Colleague Mr. Fraley. In one of your num
bers dated a few days past, that gentlemen is charg
ed with having loaded me with "malignant abuse."
(Z think I quote correctly.) Your informant eertain
ly did not hear with my ears—for I heard nothing
like abuse. Hid appeal to me was earnest, animat
ed and impassioned, nothing more--and my reply
was animated,and earnest as his appeal, and my
Words Were certainly ndt dipped, in honey dew : but
neither that gentleman nor myself did, on that ol• any
other occasion descend toany thing bearing the most
distant resemblance to abuse."
General Jackson's administration was noted for

Gen. Jackson's administration was noted fur de- .

ter the New bore election of '3B, altho commenced

happens it. that this sagacity did not preceive that
of $6,000,000 loss by banks,tir.knowledged by the
Globe, including deposites and depreciated notes,
Jivery dollar was lost during the periods after
,the
expiration of the charter of the first U. S. Bank, and
since the destruction of the late panic! These things
do not show much sagacity. The Globe likewise states
that the real losses by collectors unde; all previous
administrations amounted to about ene million, of
which only $60,000 was under the glorious
administration; that four milli'ons have been lost by
upwards of 2330 disbursing officers who are defaul
ters, of which not forty have been under his admin
. n, nor over $lOO,OOO in amount. These are
in tional misrepresentations, calculated to deceive
those who have neither Mel; *ion or leisure to in

The splendor of Chivalry never shone with great
er lustre, than during the reign of Coamo, 4 - 1 /uke of
Medina. . The knights who owed him allegiance,
were among the most renowned in Christendom,
and none excelled in chivalric spirit and grace of ,
person, the young heir of the dutchy, Julio de jvlon- '
talvan. It was the day, on which the Duke was
celebrating the serekenterinial year of his reign,
when the grateful rejoicings of him people were . in
creased by the return of Count Julio, from conquest,
at the head of a princely train—the knights and the
retainers of his father. Shrilly rang, the soul arous
ing trumpets! and the soli-urban mountains re-echo
ed back the sound, as' 11ipicipating in the heart-felt
rejoicings of a freed AR which arose, long 4 lond,

Between cad, pause, wild and thrilling gelodies
ruled out trio mptunitly, for the land had been op
pre,s,,l and vr:it. tree ! Minters wired their 'scutch

in the air. Bright eyes looked on heroes, and many
who had 100ki,,l on death unmoved, amid the carnage
of the battle-Aeldonow . quailedlefore a timid maiden's
glance ! As each gallant knight galloped by, et the
head of his followers, the grateful people hailed him
with acclamations, and invoked blessings on their
deliverers. The pageant passed, and the crowd eras
Sweeping towards the lists, where the aged monarch
in person, intended to thank the victors ; and • bold a
tourney, when a warrior rode. by, unattended—his
armor hacked and bruised, and in his haw!, he held
a torn and soiled banner. :Vainly had he been urged
to take the precedence his. valor merited, for when
dismay. had seized the ranks of Count Julio, he it
was who hail turned the fortunes of the day, by his
intrepid daring—few were the knights so reckless,:as
to follow where he led, and he ever stood alone, ap•
parently uninfluenced by the example of others.—
Many thought his headstrong daring arose from des
pair, but the well judging few discovered, that though
he held life at a cheap rate, he manifested no dispo
sition to sacrifice it rashly. He was apparently la
boring andel spine poignant grief, bitt none could
divine its source, as he shunned all intimacy with
his brethren in arms, and passed by even the common
terms of cdtlitesy.
The lists presented a glorious spectacle—glittering
with the golden armor of Mailed knights, and blazing
with the beautiful of the land, decked • their proud
est habiliments. The monarch was bo. down by
