FRANK, The Present Condition of the Jews. This curious race of people, marked by characteristic differences which have not been effaced since their overthrow as‘a nation, have within the last half century greatly advanced in their social position. The increasing liberality of the age has relieved them from many of the disabilities under which they have labored for ages. In England, a Jew is another person from what he was in the time of Richard the First, or even George the First. The Lord Mayor of London is a Jew, and so are some of the members of Parliament. In 1833 the first Jewish lawyer, name1 Goldsmid., was admitted to the English bar, and in New York there is quite a number in the profession. ‘The Rothchilds are professedly the greatest stock gamblers in Europe, and the best friends of kingly borrowers. In Germany all the highest walks in literature and philosophy are filled with Jews, and tn this country we find them in our colleges and schools of learning, and in the Senate of the United States. hey excel in many of the fine arts, and as composers, musicians and actors, thev are remarkable for their excellence. "We need not look farther than our own theatres to observe their predominant tastes. They tread the stage as performers, or fill the boxes of the academy as patrons of the lyric art. The greatest actress in the world is a Jewess, Rachel; the most popular ballad singer of the day is a Jew, Russel. The composers of some of the most scientific and classical operas are Jews.— In business none are more keen, though others may be more scrupulous. They occupy whole streets in Europe; they are beginning ‘o do so in this country. In this city, and even in Albany, there are parts of the town where they monopolize their peculiar brancnes of trade. Many of them do not hesitate to keep their shops open on the Christian Sabbath as well as their own, and we have heard this complained of by other tradesmen as a great advantage taken of those who observe at least ove day in the week. The peculiarities of the Jewish character are thought to consist in the sinele mindedness with which each individual follows his peculiar profession.— A contemporary says of them, that“they have the power of seizing the strong points of whatever they attempt to do, beyond any other nation, and developing them with unsurpassed energy and enterprise.”” Nothing is allowed to stand in the way of their projects, and thus they appear sclfish in everything they undertake. But they are devoted to each other, and are capable of the most generous actions. It is difficult to say, what at this time are the real tenets of the Jews. The old distinction of Sadducees and Pharasees is prerty much gone —the latter prevailing in the synagogues, and every where in the ascendant. In Africa it is said some of the former may yet be found, wdo deny the resurrection of the body. Much infidelity, according to their own Rabbis, prevails among them everywhere, and the lower classes are very ignorant and poorly informed as to the exact nature of their faith. The more learned are subtle and able in support of their opinions, and are difficult to overcome in argument. It isa common opinion among these that the Soeinians of modern times assimilate closely in their belief, and would become Jews if it was not for the rite of circumcision! The Synagogues in this city are numarous, and severai of them are very elegant in-their interior. The service is solemn and curious, and the zeal with which some of the prayers are recited is remarkable. We have seen tears coursing down the cheeks of men of mature age as they uttered their heartfelt invocations to the God of their fathers. The rites of their religion are very serupulously followed in this city by a large number of the faithful, and some of their ceremonies are singular enough. The feast of Tabernacles was observed by some of the most strict, by their actually living out of their houses, in their gardens the allotted period; and even the little boys of that persuasion might have been seen sitting on dry goods boxes, at shop doors, with green branches over their heads in playful remembrance of the feast. The Jewish population of this city is estimated as high as 30,000. It is utterly impossible to say what their numbers are in the whole world. A recent estimate gives the total at ten millions, which is three times and a third more than it was when they were in Canaan. Others suppose that the extent is six millions. Their dispersion over the earth is a remarkable fulfilment of the predictions of their own prophets: but their final restoration to their own home is fully believed in, The period of this return is fixed by some commentators at 1866, to be preceded first by the fall of the Turkish empire. As we walk up Chatham street however, we see no particular preparation nor much anxiety for such an event as a trip to Palestine. —N. Y. Hebrew paper. ConGreEssiONAL MiLEaGE.—A Washington letter writer says the announcement that Mr. Kelsey had proposed a bill for the reduction of mileage was premature, although the subject will shortly come up. The following facts and figures, from the Sergeant-at-Arms’ book, are not without interest, in this connection. The entire amount of mileage prid to the representatives and delegates in the last house was $191,156. Of this amount, there was paid to the seven delegates from territories, who have no votes, as follows: Anderson, of Washington, 7,450 miles, $5,960; Bernheisel, Utah, 3,225 miles, $2,557 ; Chapman, Nebraska, 2.530 miles, $2,024; Galegor, New Mexico, 2,766 miles, $2,212; Lane, Oregon, 7,450 miles, $5,960; Rice, Minnesota, 2,344 miles, $1,875; Whitfield, Kansas, 2,645 miles, $2,116. Of the representatives, the largest mileage was that of Denver, of California, who received $5,806 40; Mr. Bowie, of Maryland, received $16 60; Herbert, of California, received $5,682 40; the thirty-seven. members who are included within two hundred and fifty miles distance from the Capitol receive in the aggregate not as much as either the delegate from Oregon, or one of the members from California, viz: $5,136. The average mileage to each member was 3793 18. Products of Southern California. A recent Los Angeles paper, in speaking of the products of that section of the country, says: : The extent of our resources is yet unknown, but a great deal more is known than is made useful. The time will come—and we hope itis not far distant—when our valley will resound with the hum of busy industry; when corn, and wine, and oil will abound; when the golden ears of an abundant harvest will cover the hills and plains, the result of well directed energy and tkill. It requires but the enterprise and capital to make, prudently, the experiments; to strike the waters out of the flinty rocks, and to spread it over our lands, enriching and fertilizing our present arid wastes. Science furnishes the mode of obtaining the enriching element, let common sense dictate its application. First, among other facts, we have a climate unsurpassed in any country or clime. ‘The genial rays of our almost tropical sun produce in, abundance the fruits of the most favored regions. Our vines attain a luxuriance unknown elsewhere; our grapes astonish, by their size and delicious flavor, the most experienced growers of other states; besides these, we have lemons, oranges, olives, apples, aprocots, aloes, figs, nectarines, plums, pears, peaches, pomegranates, pine-apples, quinces, raspberry, strawberry and walnuts. ‘The currant of commerce will grow here; so also cork wood. Our wine is even now of first quality, what it wants in artistic finish being made up in purity and wholesomeness. We expore wine, brandy, corn, hides, wool and salt. We should manufacture and export oil; the olives gro. here in abundance. We make our own ale and beer; manufacture leather, the oak bark being obtained in our mountains; we have carriage factories, a broom factory, shingle machines, saw mills, and grist mills; a steam distillery, a planing and sash mach/ne. With the increase and improvement of our wines and brandies, will arise the necessity for a bottle factory—one of the most profitable investments, even now, in which a eapitalist could embark. The material is here in abundance.— An extensive cooperage establishment, is one of our most urgent wants. The culture of the cork wood will yet bea necessity with us. Kissine A BacnELor.—A correspondent relates the following incident :— “We have a friend—a_ bachelor friend —very fond of the society of the ladies, but extremely modest and diffident withal. A few evenings since he went to make a call upon an acquaintance who had recently taken to himself a wife, young and beautiful, and, as a matter of course, overflowing with affection for her husband. Now, this lovely wife of a week, like all other wives, could scarcely survive the brief absence of her husband for the discharge of his business, and always upon his return met him upon the threshold, and smothered him kisses. It so happened when our friend called that the husband was absent, but was momentarily expected by the fond and anxious wife. She heard his footfall upon the step, and, supposing it to be her husband, rushed forth to meet him; and he had seareely laid his hand upon the bell rope before the door flew open, and his neck was encireled with a air of white arms, and burning kisses fell thick and fast upon his lips and cheeks—while a full and_ throbbing breast was strained to his! Here wasa trying situation for a diffident man, and our friend came near fainting on the spot; but, fortunately, the lady discovered her mistake in season to prevent such a melancholy event, and he escaped from the house more dead than alive. The last we saw of him, he was leaning against a tree, fanning himself with his sombrero, in order to recover strength to regain his lodgings.” Mormon Immicaation,— The ship Columbia arrived at New York on Tuesday, from Liverpool, with 221 Mormon immigrants, about one-half of whom were women and children. Most of them were from Bristol. Twenty-three were from Wales and some from Londod, Yorkshiré, and other parts of Great Britain, f= During the last twenty-five years 6,773 men have been executed for political offenses. Of this number 1,712 suffered in the twoSicilies. Austria lias been most brutal, for in Lombardy the . executed 4,300. Nn a RNAL WHOLE NUMBER 354, A Misdealjin Love Affairs.---A Fact. Ed. H., of a neighboring city, had for months been paying his love-colored addresses to the beautiful and lovely daughter of Dr. P. The commotion under his waistcoat was equalled by the throbbing in her basque, and for a while things went on swimmingly.— “Fathers have stony hearts,” and so Dr. P., never heeding the happiness these lovers were enjoying, all of a suddenly forbade Ed. from coming to his house. Nobody knew the eause, but some said it was because the Dr. had higher notions tor his daughter Rosa. Well, Rosa was worthy of a good husband, and Ed always seemed to us like to make one, for he was established in a thrifty business, had a kind heart, and was respected by all who knew him.— Besides, as the sequel proves, he had perseverance, even against odds. The parents offered Rosa munificent gifts if she would “ent” Ed., but all to no purpose. When she could not see him at the house, she could, and did, promenade the streets with him. Their persecutions only grew stronger as their love grew deeper, and finally Rosa said, if she could not marry Ed. she should de something quite as horrible. Her parents were inflexible, but Rosa began to play “sly,” and made clandestine appointments with her darling Ed. One of these eventuated funnily enough— Ed. was to come to the house and wait outside until the lights were turned off, and then she would quietly let him in. The evening came, .and Rosa thought her parents never would retire. But after a while the Dr. sought his nightcap, and Rosa slipped off into the back parlor and sat down in the dark. Her mother, thinking all others had gone to bed, lighted a lamp, turned off the gas, and went up stairs to bed. But while she was standing in the hall, at the head of the stairs, she heard a gentle tap on the door. Fearing that the wind would blow ol her only light, she thoughtfully sat it down in, the hall, and descended to the door by its uncertain light. As she threw open te door, in rushed Ed. and seizing her in his arms, began such a siege of kissing as prevented her erying out for aid. Poor Ed. did not discover his error until he had called her his darling Rosa about ninety times, and received in his face a blow in exchange for each kiss. But hearing himself called an impertinent villain, he incontinently fled the house, as greatly chagrined as Mrs. P. was angry. Whether his devotion or persistency won the mother to his favor, is not stat{ ed, but Ed. and Rosa were shortly married, with the full consent of the parents. It proved with Ed.’s love making as it often does in cards, a mis-deal changes the luck.— Keokuk Gate City. Fanny Fern on Dress.—It is my . opinicn, after aj] that is said, that women dress much more with an eye to their own sex, than the other. What man, unless he be a dry goods merchant, knows whether a woman wears Honiton or cotton lace?) What man else knows, or cares to know, the value of the dainty handkerchiefs with which ladies so . ostentatiously polish their pretty noses? What man else, knows or cares to know, the value of the camel’s hair shawls spread so carefully over their shoulders ¢ By the rood!—not one. But the delighted peacock possessor rejoices that every feminine eye which rests upon it, computes its value toa fraction. Yes, women dress much more for each other’s eyes than men. I never knewa man whose opinion was worth asking, who did not prefer to see a pretty woman (and I imagine the most demure of “em don’t look long at any other!) unostentatiously and modestly dressed, and I never saw a pretty woman who did not look prettier in her in her plainest home dress than in her elaborate adornments. But, alas! for plain dresses, where are they?) Where is the home pretty delaine and neat calico, none too good for climbing little feet (now fash ion is banished)? Echo answers — Where ? THe Girt 1x Rep.—Cassius M. Clay tells the following : During the late political canvass, Burlingame and himself occupied adjoining rooms at the Bates House, Indianapolis. “Ava late hour one evening,” says he, “T was in B.’s room and both of us were somewhat elated with the popular enthusiasm. We were, as old soldiers are wont to do, fighting our battles over again, when a fine band right opposite my room poured o'er the sea of night floods of soul-stirring music. ‘Clay, you are honored,’ said B., ‘ go and acknowledge the compliment.’ With due ditfidence I excused myself; when, as I had anticipated, the band broke forth anew in strains of heroic melody in frout of the room oceupied by B. ‘I have you now,’ said I, ‘now give ’em a sentiment.’> ‘No, you,’ said B. ‘Well,’ said I, ‘both together;’ so, locking arms, with an air of intense dignity, we walked out upon the balcony, and in a faltering voice, IL commenced: ‘Indiana, Massachusetts, and Kentucky —triple sisters—may they ever be true to the family union!’ The leader of the band, after a pause, with a thick tongue, inquired, ‘Who are you?’ ‘Clay and Burlingame,’ said I. ‘The deuce you are,’ said -he in reply; and then, in an undertone, addressed to his followers, he concluded: “ Boys, it’s not the girl in red ! ”—~Cin. Commercial. VeTERANS oF THE RgevoLUTION.— The whole number of the revolutionary soldiers on the pension rolls on the 12th of July last was only five hundred and fourteen, and seven deaths have since been registered. The noble and inyincible band of heroes is fast passing away. 1 The extreme velocity of the wind is found to be 93 miles per hour, says Dr. Lind. The machine to measure it with ‘is called an anometer, GiReEcE oF THE Present Day—The beantiful land of Greece, with all its glorious reminiscenses, is now but the sonification of fallen greatness. The Greece ot ancient time, with all its rich treasures of science, literature and art, famed for its agricultural and eommercial. wealth, is now no more; and in its” stead there is left a poor, impoverished and. enfeebled country. Her government is the most inefficient and corrupt with which a nation was ever curse 3 and the people, robbed by the soldiery and{harrassed by their rulers, cultivate the [lands only to satisfy the systematic exattions of their tyrants. “In some parts of the kingd«m, tired of laboring in the field, for benefits whieh others will enjoy, many of the peasantry have formed themselves into bands of robbers, and infesting the public roads, live the plunder of travelers; and if by chance, there falls into their bands an hated official, he is sure to be visited with the full measure of their vengeance, in the form of tortures and a horrible death—unless, indeed, the chances of a heavy ransom are suficient to induce them to forego the sweet delights of revenge. In all probability, the expulsion of the weak king Otho from his throne would be the greatest blessing that could be conferred on Greece.— Freeman’s Journal. A Lavenine CLerncymMan.—We have heard the aneedote of the minister whose gravity wns so overcome at the sight of the ludicrous antics of a man who had fallen asleep on the steps of the chureh door and been upset by a pugnacious ram, who mistook his nodding fora signal of defiance, and charged upon him accordingly. The minister beheld the scene through the open chureh door, and burst into laughter in the midst of his sermon, much to the astonishment of his hearers, who could not understand the cause of his mirth. His mortification at this outward incident was so — he would never again enter the pulpit. In the “Recollections ofa Life-time,” by S. G. Goodrich, we find related a circumstance of a somewhat similar nature, which he gives as follows: “Once upon a time there was a clergyman, the Rev. Dr. T., a man of high character, and distinguished for his dignit of manner. But it was remarked that frequently, when ascending the pulpit stairs, he wovld smile, and sometimes almost titter, as if beset by an uncontrollable desire to lauch. This excited remark, and at last scandal: fina]uf e was ota necessary for some of ils clerical friends, at a meetine ass¢ciation, to brine tp mira Foced fe conkideration. = ‘ ‘The case was stated, the Rev. Dr. T. being present. “Well, gentleman,” said . he, ‘the fact charged against me is true,’ but I beg you to permit me to offer an . explanation. A few months after I was licensed to preach, I was in a country town, and on a Sabbath morning was about to enter upon the services of the colvwkhasac ak the pulpit Was a win. fab Nig ’Ked upon a field of clover . 1 full bloom, for it was summer.— . As I rose to commence the reading of the Scriptures, I east a glance into the field, and there I saw a man performing the most extraordinary evolutions—slapping, Jumping, whirling in all directions, and with a ferocious agony of exertion. At first I thought he was mad, but suddenly the truth burst upon me—he had . buttoned up a bumble-bee in his pantaloons! 1 am constitutionally nervous, gentleman, and the shock of this seene upon my risible sensibilities was so great that I could hardly get through the services, Several times I was upon the point of bursting into a laugh. Even to “this day the remembrance of this scene—through the temptations of the devil—often comes upon me as I am ascending the pulpit. This, 1 admit, is a weakness, but I trust it will rather excite your sympathy and your prayers than your reproaches.”’ E t Mr. Toombs’ letter to the Southern Commercial Convention broaches a new theory of state taxation. His plan is that the southern states shall diserim inate in their state and municipal taxa. tion in favor of foreign goods imported through their own cities and against them when imported through northers cities. This seems to us a very strange the ory te be supported by politicians whe for a quarter of a century, have beex clamoring in favor of perfect free trade — in favor of the people’s being alicwed to purchase all articles jast where ane just how they ean get them cheapest. Are not Mr. Toombs and his friends clearly proposing new restr2ctoms upon trade ? INDIrrerBNcE. — In a large city like New York, people very generally mind thejr own business, and do not peep inte thelr neighbor’s key-holes. One of thoge houses which contain many families. was discovered to be on fire in the lower story some time ago. The watchman rapped loudly at the door. A tenant. of the fourth story looked out of the wintlow, and asked what he wanted ‘“Your house is on fire.

FRANK, The Present Condition of the Jews. This curious race of people, marked by characteristic differences which have not been effaced since their overthrow as‘a nation, have within the last half century greatly advanced in their social position. The increasing liberality of the age has relieved them from many of the disabilities under which they have labored for ages. In England, a Jew is another person from what he was in the time of Richard the First, or even George the First. The Lord Mayor of London is a Jew, and so are some of the members of Parliament. In 1833 the first Jewish lawyer, name1 Goldsmid., was admitted to the English bar, and in New York there is quite a number in the profession. ‘The Rothchilds are professedly the greatest stock gamblers in Europe, and the best friends of kingly borrowers. In Germany all the highest walks in literature and philosophy are filled with Jews, and tn this country we find them in our colleges and schools of learning, and in the Senate of the United States. hey excel in many of the fine arts, and as composers, musicians and actors, thev are remarkable for their excellence. "We need not look farther than our own theatres to observe their predominant tastes. They tread the stage as performers, or fill the boxes of the academy as patrons of the lyric art. The greatest actress in the world is a Jewess, Rachel; the most popular ballad singer of the day is a Jew, Russel. The composers of some of the most scientific and classical operas are Jews.— In business none are more keen, though others may be more scrupulous. They occupy whole streets in Europe; they are beginning ‘o do so in this country. In this city, and even in Albany, there are parts of the town where they monopolize their peculiar brancnes of trade. Many of them do not hesitate to keep their shops open on the Christian Sabbath as well as their own, and we have heard this complained of by other tradesmen as a great advantage taken of those who observe at least ove day in the week. The peculiarities of the Jewish character are thought to consist in the sinele mindedness with which each individual follows his peculiar profession.— A contemporary says of them, that“they have the power of seizing the strong points of whatever they attempt to do, beyond any other nation, and developing them with unsurpassed energy and enterprise.”” Nothing is allowed to stand in the way of their projects, and thus they appear sclfish in everything they undertake. But they are devoted to each other, and are capable of the most generous actions. It is difficult to say, what at this time are the real tenets of the Jews. The old distinction of Sadducees and Pharasees is prerty much gone —the latter prevailing in the synagogues, and every where in the ascendant. In Africa it is said some of the former may yet be found, wdo deny the resurrection of the body. Much infidelity, according to their own Rabbis, prevails among them everywhere, and the lower classes are very ignorant and poorly informed as to the exact nature of their faith. The more learned are subtle and able in support of their opinions, and are difficult to overcome in argument. It isa common opinion among these that the Soeinians of modern times assimilate closely in their belief, and would become Jews if it was not for the rite of circumcision! The Synagogues in this city are numarous, and severai of them are very elegant in-their interior. The service is solemn and curious, and the zeal with which some of the prayers are recited is remarkable. We have seen tears coursing down the cheeks of men of mature age as they uttered their heartfelt invocations to the God of their fathers. The rites of their religion are very serupulously followed in this city by a large number of the faithful, and some of their ceremonies are singular enough. The feast of Tabernacles was observed by some of the most strict, by their actually living out of their houses, in their gardens the allotted period; and even the little boys of that persuasion might have been seen sitting on dry goods boxes, at shop doors, with green branches over their heads in playful remembrance of the feast. The Jewish population of this city is estimated as high as 30,000. It is utterly impossible to say what their numbers are in the whole world. A recent estimate gives the total at ten millions, which is three times and a third more than it was when they were in Canaan. Others suppose that the extent is six millions. Their dispersion over the earth is a remarkable fulfilment of the predictions of their own prophets: but their final restoration to their own home is fully believed in, The period of this return is fixed by some commentators at 1866, to be preceded first by the fall of the Turkish empire. As we walk up Chatham street however, we see no particular preparation nor much anxiety for such an event as a trip to Palestine. —N. Y. Hebrew paper. ConGreEssiONAL MiLEaGE.—A Washington letter writer says the announcement that Mr. Kelsey had proposed a bill for the reduction of mileage was premature, although the subject will shortly come up. The following facts and figures, from the Sergeant-at-Arms’ book, are not without interest, in this connection. The entire amount of mileage prid to the representatives and delegates in the last house was $191,156. Of this amount, there was paid to the seven delegates from territories, who have no votes, as follows: Anderson, of Washington, 7,450 miles, $5,960; Bernheisel, Utah, 3,225 miles, $2,557 ; Chapman, Nebraska, 2.530 miles, $2,024; Galegor, New Mexico, 2,766 miles, $2,212; Lane, Oregon, 7,450 miles, $5,960; Rice, Minnesota, 2,344 miles, $1,875; Whitfield, Kansas, 2,645 miles, $2,116. Of the representatives, the largest mileage was that of Denver, of California, who received $5,806 40; Mr. Bowie, of Maryland, received $16 60; Herbert, of California, received $5,682 40; the thirty-seven. members who are included within two hundred and fifty miles distance from the Capitol receive in the aggregate not as much as either the delegate from Oregon, or one of the members from California, viz: $5,136. The average mileage to each member was 3793 18. Products of Southern California. A recent Los Angeles paper, in speaking of the products of that section of the country, says: : The extent of our resources is yet unknown, but a great deal more is known than is made useful. The time will come—and we hope itis not far distant—when our valley will resound with the hum of busy industry; when corn, and wine, and oil will abound; when the golden ears of an abundant harvest will cover the hills and plains, the result of well directed energy and tkill. It requires but the enterprise and capital to make, prudently, the experiments; to strike the waters out of the flinty rocks, and to spread it over our lands, enriching and fertilizing our present arid wastes. Science furnishes the mode of obtaining the enriching element, let common sense dictate its application. First, among other facts, we have a climate unsurpassed in any country or clime. ‘The genial rays of our almost tropical sun produce in, abundance the fruits of the most favored regions. Our vines attain a luxuriance unknown elsewhere; our grapes astonish, by their size and delicious flavor, the most experienced growers of other states; besides these, we have lemons, oranges, olives, apples, aprocots, aloes, figs, nectarines, plums, pears, peaches, pomegranates, pine-apples, quinces, raspberry, strawberry and walnuts. ‘The currant of commerce will grow here; so also cork wood. Our wine is even now of first quality, what it wants in artistic finish being made up in purity and wholesomeness. We expore wine, brandy, corn, hides, wool and salt. We should manufacture and export oil; the olives gro. here in abundance. We make our own ale and beer; manufacture leather, the oak bark being obtained in our mountains; we have carriage factories, a broom factory, shingle machines, saw mills, and grist mills; a steam distillery, a planing and sash mach/ne. With the increase and improvement of our wines and brandies, will arise the necessity for a bottle factory—one of the most profitable investments, even now, in which a eapitalist could embark. The material is here in abundance.— An extensive cooperage establishment, is one of our most urgent wants. The culture of the cork wood will yet bea necessity with us. Kissine A BacnELor.—A correspondent relates the following incident :— “We have a friend—a_ bachelor friend —very fond of the society of the ladies, but extremely modest and diffident withal. A few evenings since he went to make a call upon an acquaintance who had recently taken to himself a wife, young and beautiful, and, as a matter of course, overflowing with affection for her husband. Now, this lovely wife of a week, like all other wives, could scarcely survive the brief absence of her husband for the discharge of his business, and always upon his return met him upon the threshold, and smothered him kisses. It so happened when our friend called that the husband was absent, but was momentarily expected by the fond and anxious wife. She heard his footfall upon the step, and, supposing it to be her husband, rushed forth to meet him; and he had seareely laid his hand upon the bell rope before the door flew open, and his neck was encireled with a air of white arms, and burning kisses fell thick and fast upon his lips and cheeks—while a full and_ throbbing breast was strained to his! Here wasa trying situation for a diffident man, and our friend came near fainting on the spot; but, fortunately, the lady discovered her mistake in season to prevent such a melancholy event, and he escaped from the house more dead than alive. The last we saw of him, he was leaning against a tree, fanning himself with his sombrero, in order to recover strength to regain his lodgings.” Mormon Immicaation,— The ship Columbia arrived at New York on Tuesday, from Liverpool, with 221 Mormon immigrants, about one-half of whom were women and children. Most of them were from Bristol.

H., of a neighboring city, had for months been paying his love-colored addresses to the beautiful and lovely daughter of Dr. P. The commotion under his waistcoat was equalled by the throbbing in her basque, and for a while things went on swimmingly.— “Fathers have stony hearts,” and so Dr. P., never heeding the happiness these lovers were enjoying, all of a suddenly forbade Ed. from coming to his house. Nobody knew the eause, but some said it was because the Dr. had higher notions tor his daughter Rosa. Well, Rosa was worthy of a good husband, and Ed always seemed to us like to make one, for he was established in a thrifty business, had a kind heart, and was respected by all who knew him.— Besides, as the sequel proves, he had perseverance, even against odds. The parents offered Rosa munificent gifts if she would “ent” Ed., but all to no purpose. When she could not see him at the house, she could, and did, promenade the streets with him. Their persecutions only grew stronger as their love grew deeper, and finally Rosa said, if she could not marry Ed. she should de something quite as horrible. Her parents were inflexible, but Rosa began to play “sly,” and made clandestine appointments with her darling Ed. One of these eventuated funnily enough— Ed. was to come to the house and wait outside until the lights were turned off, and then she would quietly let him in. The evening came, .and Rosa thought her parents never would retire. But after a while the Dr. sought his nightcap, and Rosa slipped off into the back parlor and sat down in the dark. Her mother, thinking all others had gone to bed, lighted a lamp, turned off the gas, and went up stairs to bed. But while she was standing in the hall, at the head of the stairs, she heard a gentle tap on the door. Fearing that the wind would blow ol her only light, she thoughtfully sat it down in, the hall, and descended to the door by its uncertain light. As she threw open te door, in rushed Ed. and seizing her in his arms, began such a siege of kissing as prevented her erying out for aid. Poor Ed. did not discover his error until he had called her his darling Rosa about ninety times, and received in his face a blow in exchange for each kiss. But hearing himself called an impertinent villain, he incontinently fled the house, as greatly chagrined as Mrs. P. was angry. Whether his devotion or persistency won the mother to his favor, is not stat{ ed, but Ed. and Rosa were shortly married, with the full consent of the parents. It proved with Ed.’s love making as it often does in cards, a mis-deal changes the luck.— Keokuk Gate City. Fanny Fern on Dress.—It is my . opinicn, after aj] that is said, that women dress much more with an eye to their own sex, than the other. What man, unless he be a dry goods merchant, knows whether a woman wears Honiton or cotton lace?) What man else knows, or cares to know, the value of the dainty handkerchiefs with which ladies so . ostentatiously polish their pretty noses? What man else, knows or cares to know, the value of the camel’s hair shawls spread so carefully over their shoulders ¢ By the rood!—not one. But the delighted peacock possessor rejoices that every feminine eye which rests upon it, computes its value toa fraction. Yes, women dress much more for each other’s eyes than men. I never knewa man whose opinion was worth asking, who did not prefer to see a pretty woman (and I imagine the most demure of “em don’t look long at any other!) unostentatiously and modestly dressed, and I never saw a pretty woman who did not look prettier in her in her plainest home dress than in her elaborate adornments. But, alas! for plain dresses, where are they?) Where is the home pretty delaine and neat calico, none too good for climbing little feet (now fash ion is banished)? Echo answers — Where ? THe Girt 1x Rep.—Cassius M. Clay tells the following : During the late political canvass, Burlingame and himself occupied adjoining rooms at the Bates House, Indianapolis. “Ava late hour one evening,” says he, “T was in B.’s room and both of us were somewhat elated with the popular enthusiasm. We were, as old soldiers are wont to do, fighting our battles over again, when a fine band right opposite my room poured o'er the sea of night floods of soul-stirring music. ‘Clay, you are honored,’ said B., ‘ go and acknowledge the compliment.’ With due ditfidence I excused myself; when, as I had anticipated, the band broke forth anew in strains of heroic melody in frout of the room oceupied by B. ‘I have you now,’ said I, ‘now give ’em a sentiment.’> ‘No, you,’ said B. ‘Well,’ said I, ‘both together;’ so, locking arms, with an air of intense dignity, we walked out upon the balcony, and in a faltering voice, IL commenced: ‘Indiana, Massachusetts, and Kentucky —triple sisters—may they ever be true to the family union!’ The leader of the band, after a pause, with a thick tongue, inquired, ‘Who are you?’ ‘Clay and Burlingame,’ said I. ‘The deuce you are,’ said -he in reply; and then, in an undertone, addressed to his followers, he concluded: “ Boys, it’s not the girl in red ! ”—~Cin.

The Greece ot ancient time, with all its rich treasures of science, literature and art, famed for its agricultural and eommercial. wealth, is now no more; and in its” stead there is left a poor, impoverished and. enfeebled country. Her government is the most inefficient and corrupt with which a nation was ever curse 3 and the people, robbed by the soldiery and{harrassed by their rulers, cultivate the [lands only to satisfy the systematic exattions of their tyrants. “In some parts of the kingd«m, tired of laboring in the field, for benefits whieh others will enjoy, many of the peasantry have formed themselves into bands of robbers, and infesting the public roads, live the plunder of travelers; and if by chance, there falls into their bands an hated official, he is sure to be visited with the full measure of their vengeance, in the form of tortures and a horrible death—unless, indeed, the chances of a heavy ransom are suficient to induce them to forego the sweet delights of revenge. In all probability, the expulsion of the weak king Otho from his throne would be the greatest blessing that could be conferred on Greece.— Freeman’s Journal. A Lavenine CLerncymMan.—We have heard the aneedote of the minister whose gravity wns so overcome at the sight of the ludicrous antics of a man who had fallen asleep on the steps of the chureh door and been upset by a pugnacious ram, who mistook his nodding fora signal of defiance, and charged upon him accordingly. The minister beheld the scene through the open chureh door, and burst into laughter in the midst of his sermon, much to the astonishment of his hearers, who could not understand the cause of his mirth. His mortification at this outward incident was so — he would never again enter the pulpit. In the “Recollections ofa Life-time,” by S. G. Goodrich, we find related a circumstance of a somewhat similar nature, which he gives as follows: “Once upon a time there was a clergyman, the Rev. Dr. T., a man of high character, and distinguished for his dignit of manner. But it was remarked that frequently, when ascending the pulpit stairs, he wovld smile, and sometimes almost titter, as if beset by an uncontrollable desire to lauch. This excited remark, and at last scandal: fina]uf e was ota necessary for some of ils clerical friends, at a meetine ass¢ciation, to brine tp mira Foced fe conkideration. = ‘ ‘The case was stated, the Rev. Dr. T. being present. “Well, gentleman,” said . he, ‘the fact charged against me is true,’ but I beg you to permit me to offer an . explanation.

Even to “this day the remembrance of this scene—through the temptations of the devil—often comes upon me as I am ascending the pulpit. This, 1 admit, is a weakness, but I trust it will rather excite your sympathy and your prayers than your reproaches.”’ E t Mr. Toombs’ letter to the Southern Commercial Convention broaches a new theory of state taxation. His plan is that the southern states shall diserim inate in their state and municipal taxa. tion in favor of foreign goods imported through their own cities and against them when imported through northers cities.
