Make Way for Herbert and Weller ! We experience feelings to-day which are indescribable; we know not whether they rise from amazement, disgust or anger. A scene occurred in the Democratic State Nominating Convention, last night, which so far exceeds every thing considered damnable in the transactions of party, that we hesitate in believing what we beheld as plainly as we now witness the shadows and reflections of day. Yesterday morning we heard several loudly declaring that this would be the most respectable convention ever convened in California, and it was asseried that the deliberations of that body would noise the State with plaudits and rejoice the people because of the brighter period about to commence under purified Demoeratie policy. We listened, glad to hope earnestly that we heard truth. The day passed, and after having seen the delegates seated in their place of meeting, we were willing to admit that the Convention had every appearance of respectability. Night came, the delegates again assembled,and John B. Weller’s nomination for Governor was immediately preceded by a proceeding whieh should cause every honorable citizen to spit upon the ticket and meet each delegate now and hereafter with detestation and contempt. P. T. Her bert, who was sent to represent California in Congress, by murdering Irish waiters at hotels, desired to address the Convention; a few attempted to prevent the impropriety, but were hissed into silence. Then the house rang with yells of triunmph and Herbert was urged to speak. This was in Benton’s Church. He wish. ed to express his opinion of the Vigi. lance Committee, “a set of villainous traitors who took the law in their own hands.” Herbert said this—Herbert, who took the law in Aés own hands and murdered a poor Irishman that dared to resent an insult offered by a low desperado. Yes, Herbert said this and the Democratic State Convention applauded, and when he ceased speaking, three cheers were given for Herbert—-Herbert, who shoots Irish waiters; and the Chairman of the Convention—A. C. Bradford, of San Joaquin—enthusiastically waves his hand over his head and wildly shouts with the rest: “Three cheers for the Honorable Phil. Herbert.’”” This occurred in Benton’s Church. Then came the nomination of John B. Weller for Governor. The brilliancy which surrounded him at the moment of his success was never surpassed. Of the lights that round him blazed, none shone so full on his face as Herbert’s, and above all the voices preclaiming him the Democratie first choise, rose that of the shameless homicide. We would not have believed, two days ago, or at any time since he was first announced as a candidate, that such would be John B. Weller’s introduction to the electors by the Convention. Who that have desired bis nomination because they thought him somewhat more dignified and national in his Democracy than others of the party, expected him to select P. T. Herbert as his grand usher? Who expected that he would require Notorious McGowan to stand near the Delegates and cry out when Herbert was interrupted in his speech: “Hang the stranglers and hissers, the d—d sons of h—s ?”” This was in Benton’s Church. Where is the respectability of the Convention now ?— What great honor has it reflected upon the party and upon the State? Where have gone all those representations in favor of purity in the “National” portion of the Democracy, and all those expressions of disgust at the former illegitimate course pursued by other leaders? The fine picture proves to be a daub, the new policy promised is merely a promise to deceive, and the Demoeratic candidate is a moral and political sham, at which decency and honest democratie principle must revolt. The makers of this nomination are too enthusiastic, too certain that their candidate will be received with unbounded favor. There will come up such a storm of truths against John B. Weller as to wholly darken the prospect wherever he moves. It will be shown that he isthe cause of all our land tioubles and the consequent depression and discontent: from every page of the history of his public career facts will start out and strip and send him forth a polluted demagogne ; and the Irish will cint at him in derision as the friend and defender of Herbert, the murderer of Keating—Herbert, the murderer of Irishmen.—Sac. Age, July 15. Tur CrinoLInE— Origin of its Name. —Since the ladies have adopted the fashion of making pyramids of themselves, by extending the bottom of their skirts, by entrenchments of brass and whalebone, we have frequently been asked the derivation of the term “crinoline,” and to gratify the inquisitive, it affords the greatest pleasure to inform them that the term crinoline is derived from the Latin word crints, which means the hair of the head. The word in the French language becomes criz, and is generally applied to horse hair. In colloquial Latin of the Lower Empire, crinis might naturally pass into the diminutive crinola, and from this we easily form the word crinoline, to signify a fabric moven of hair, a finer and more dainty tissue than the common hair cloth, called by the French cilice. Un sommier de crin; a hair mattress. Se prendre aux crin; to seize another by the hair—often a feminine accomplishment. A tous crins ; with flowing mane and tail. We think this explanation ought to be satisfactory, and must certainly be apropos. = Dr. Livingston, the African traveler, is said to be almost black from constant exposure to a hot sun. So it ! seems climate does affect color. Ee Monsarrat, who was caught in Foreign Pavurers—If any doubt the room of the sister of King Kamehahas been entertained asto the transpormeha, under very suspicious circumstances, was banished the Hawaiian kingdom by the following decree : Decree of Banishment. We, Kamenamena Fourtu, by the Grace of God King of the Hawaiian Islands, to all whom these presents shall come; GREETING: Whereas, Marcus ©. Monsarrat, a naturalized subject of this Kingdom, is guilty of having perpetrated a grievous injury to Ourselves and to Our Royal Family : And Whereas, Such injury is of such a character as, in Our judgment, to authorize and require the expulsion of the said M. C. Monsarrat from Our Dominions, in order to the due vindication and preservation of Our honor and dignity, Now. Therefore, Kuow ye, that We, in the exercise of the power vested in Us by virtue of Onr office as Sovereign of this Kingdom, and in accordance with the provisions of the Forty-fifth Article of the Constitution, do hereby order that the said Marcus C. Monsarrat be forthwith expelled from this Kingdom; and he is hereby strictly prohibited, forever, from returning to any part of Our Dominions, under the penalty of Death. Given under Our hand and the Great [u.s.] Seal of the Kingdom, at Our Palace of Honolulu, this twentieth day of May, A. D. 1857. KAMEHAMEHA. KAAHUMANU. {S The Volcano, on Hawaii, appears to be restless again. <A correspondent at Lahaina, writes. June 22: “Last night it was very light in the direction of Bawaii, from 8 o’clock during the night. At 10 o’clock, it was very plamly to be seen, and although cloudy at one time it was nearly as light as when the moon is half full.” Orances —The crop at Kona, Hawaii, a correspondent informs us, will not equal last years. Several trees have been examined, all of which bore pretty full last season. ‘Two of them yielded 5200 oranges, but this year will not turn out 1000, and the same falling off in the yield is noted in North aud South Kona. . On Kauai the orange crop will bea good yield. Lumsper.—The lumber trade is steadily increasing, and is showing itself in the improved character of the native houses erected all over this island. We understand that more than half of the jobbing at the lumber yards, in town, is to natives, who generally pay cash in their purchases. So long as the price of lumber is low, they will build their houses, at least the body of the house, . of wood in preference to grass.—Com. Adv., Honolulu. Cnoare AND Dana.—Two great master minds now coutend for supremacy at the New England Bar— Rufus Choate, who has long held that position without a rival, and Richard H. Dana, Jr., who is rising proudly and steadily to an eminence which will place him . among the mightiest orators of the New World. Both were engaged on the Dalton divorce case, which terminated on Saturday night in a disagreement of the jury—Dana for the husband and Choate for the wife. There was some indications of “muttered thunder” during the reception of the evidence which had prepared the good people of Boston for a masterly passage at arms between those two intellectual giants. And it came in the summing up. ‘The antagonists had measured their weapons, and each knew his relative advantages over the other. Both showed their very best points, brought out their strongest logic, and used their most beautiful rhetortc. It was the days of the Forum revived. The two arguments occupied three days in their delivery. They are reported in full in the Boston Bee, and we have never read anything exhibiting masterly and fervid eloquence in a more striking degree. It would be hard to pronounce upon the claims of either to the merit of distinction. Both show that they are men of intellect, classic culture, great legal acquirements, and large experience, both in human nature and the law.— Choate is the most impassioned; Dana the most polished; Choate the most striking ; Dana the most subtle ; Choate the boldest; Dana the most cautious— but both take front rank in the use of beautiful figures of speech, and in the striking arrangement of the different branches of their subject. Choate has found his equal, and henceforth can lay no claim to the title which he has so long and undisputedly borne, as ‘the head of the New England Bar.” A brilliant future is no doubt in store for the rising lawyer.—N. Y. Paper. AnecpoTe or NapoLteon.—The following anec tote of the conqueror of Europe was handed us by a member of the Alumni of the House of Correction, and, we are assured, has never been in print . (nor anywhere else) before : When the great man was at sehool, at the Pyrotechnic Institute at Paris. at the age of twelve years, his writing master advised him to study the first part of his copy book more attentively. “Wherefore?” asked the future hero of Marengo and St. Helena. “It is well,” said the teacher, “to be familiar with pot-hooks and trammels, before the formation of letters is attempted.” “But I,” said Napoleon, his eye flashing forth a pale green light. “2 know no Trammels !” A faet sufficiently proven by his subsequent eareer. k= It is one of the loveliest customs of the ancients to bury the young at morning twilight; for, as they strove to give the softest interpretation to death, so they imagined that Aurora, who loved the young, had stolen them to her embrace. tation of paupers by the German Governments to America, they will be digsipated by the following order lately issued by the government of Wurtemberg : “Whereas, it has been repeated represented to us that German jnnlegeast in America, and among them enigcamp from Wurtemberg, who either on a count of sickness or ineapability to lab desire to return to their native land, ar forwarded by the German Emigratio Society in New York; and whereas, it is undesirable that those who have e igrated, and particularly those who hay been sent to America at the expense the State or communes, in case they should not meet with success in Amer ca, whether it be owing to their ow fault or not, should return to their native country to become a burden upon the State or the communes, which in such case would have entirely thrown away the cost of transporting them ; and whereas, especially the American aus thorities can searcely feel authorized to send-back persons who have once been permitted to land, for no other canse than mere lack of success, and still less ean the German Emigration Society have the right to demand the return of such persons, therefore all proper steps are to be taken to prevent the sending back of such individuals.” This is abusing hospitality a little too much. New York is to be made a Botany Bay for German paupers, and then is not to be allowed to send them back at their own expense. This will hardly do.—New York Tribune. . SALAMANDER.—The Salamander is an animal believed by ancients to have the property of existing unhurt in fire ; and anong the miners of Cornwall, England, a superstition prevails that if a fire be kept in for a century, continuously, a salamander will arise from the flames, as Venus rose from the sea, or Minerva from the brain of Jupiter. Hence they invariably cause their engine fires, which otherwise are kept contiuually burning, to be put out every few years. A French Consul in the Island of Rhodes in 1789, gravely relates that while sitting in his chamber, there, he heard a loud ery in the kitchen, whither he ran, and found his cook in a horrible fright, who informed him that she had seen the devil in the fire. M. Ponthonier (the Cousul) then states that he looked into a bright fire and there saw a little animal with open mouth and palpitating throat. He took the tongs and endeavored to remove it. At his first attempt, the anfimal, which he says had been motionless up to that time (two or three minutes) ran into a corner of the chimney, having lost the tip of his tail in eseaping, and buried itself in a heap of asheg. In his second attempt the Consul was successful and drew the animal out, which he describes as a sort of small lizard, plunged it into spirit and gave it to Buffon, the naturalist. Pliny, the naturalist, says: ‘Of all venomous beasts, there are not any so hurtful and dangerous as are the salamanders. As for other serpents, they can hurt but one at once, neither kill they many together; to say nothing how when they have stung or bitten a man, they die for verie grief and sorrow that they have done such mischief, as if they had some pricke and remorse of conscience afterwards, and never enter they againe into earthe, es unworthy to be received there.” A Far West Eprroriat Sanctum.—The Kansas correspondent of the Richmond Hxgwirer ina recent letter to that paper, thus describes the sanctum of the editor of the Weekly Herald, printed in Leavenworth (Kansas) City, at the time he made a visit : It will not be amiss here’to give you a sketch of the office as presented to the eye of a stranger from Louisiana: “h visit to the printing office afforded a rich treat. On entering the first room on the right hand three law ‘shingles’ were on the door; on one side was a rich bed—French blankets, sheets, table cloths, shirts cloaks and rugs, all together; on the wall hung hams, maps, venison and rich engravings, onions, portraits and boots; on the floor were a side of bacon, carved to the bone, corn and potatoes, stationery and books; on a nice dressing case stood a wooden tray half full of dough, while crockery occuied the professional desk. In the room on the left—the sanctum—the housewife, cook aud editor lived in glorious unity—one person. He was seated on a stool, with a paper before him ona piece of plank, writing a vigorous knock down to an article in the Kickapoo Pionecr, apaper of arival city. The cooking stove was at his left, and tin kettles all round; the corn cake was ‘a doing,’ and instead of scratchirg his head for an idea, as editors often do, he turned the cake and went ahead.” Se Days of Grace, on notes and bills —the New York Evening Post advises the sweeping away of. It is ancld custom, behind this commercial age, reasons the editor. This custom varies widely in different countries. In England and America three days are allowed; in Hamburg, twelve; in Frankfort-on-the-Main, four; in Lisbon and Oporto, fifteen on inland, and eight on foreign bills; in Spain, fourteen on inland, and eight on forei: bills. In France there were former ten days allowed; but the Code Napoleon, among many other sensible things, overthrew the custom entirely; and where the code now prevails, as in France, Genoa, Antwerp, Leghorn, Falermo and Rotterdam, there are no dalys of grace at all. = The receipts of the railroads in OLE NUMBER 375. How To PREVENT Mosauvirogs Bitinc.—As the hot weather has set in, and mosqnitoes are about becoming troublesome, we, with our usual kindness towards our subscribers, give this valuable recipe for the prevention of mosquitoe bites. Take a house near the banks of some river or stream—the size of the house will of course depend upon your means —divest yourself of your clothing, and then walk up to your neck iu the water; when you sce a mosquitoe coming, bob down, and it will pass harmlessly over you. Care must be taken, however, that you don’t keep your head too long under water. By paying attention to the above, mosquitoes will never worry you. WELLER AND Hersert.—The following from the Bulletin is quite noticeable: Mr. Editor :—I heard yesterday that Mr. Weller, if elected Governor, would appoint Phil. Herbert as his Private Secretary. My object in writing to you is to be enlightened on this point, as I am a mechanic, born in Ireland, but A Citizen By AvopTion. [We are sorry we cannot enlighten “A Citizen by Adoption,” but hardly think that Mr. Weller would be guilty of such an outrage, although we have heard rumors of the same kind. We advise the writer to ask Mr. Weller him selfi—Ed: Bullctin.] THe CABLE FoR THE ADRIATIC.—The strongest cable ever manufactured for a merchant vessel is now lying at one of the railway stations in this town. The makers of the cable are Messrs. Hing. ley & Sons, of Kradley and Netherton It is intended for mooring the United States Mail Steamship Adriatic in the Sloyne when she arrives, and is considered capable of holding her, large as she is, in the heaviest gale. The leneth of the cable is forty yards, and “its weight per link fifty pounds. In the process of proving, one of the weakest links gave way at 97 tons pressure, with a force that shook the building. Anew link was substituted, and the cable withstood a strain of 105 tons. Messrs Hingley & Sons are making the eables for the Great Eustere each link of which will weigh 70 pounds.—Liverpoo! Telegraph. Atcoran.—The book which contains the revelation and eredenda of Mahomet: It is confessedly the standard of the Arabic tongue, and as the Mahometans believe, inimitable by any haman pen ; hence they assume its divine origin. It is the common opinion of writers that Mahomet was assisted by Batiras, a Jacobin, Sergius, a Nestorian monk, and by a learned Jew, in composing this book, most of whose principles are the same as those of Arius, Nestorius, Sabellius, and other heresiarchs. The “Mahometans say that God sent it to their prophet by the Angel Gabriel: it was written aboot a. D. G10. {> Asa specimen of the wit of the red race, we give the retort of a Shaw nee Indian, who, having had a drink of fire-water of a Yankee tavern keeper, was asked three coppers for it.”’ “How dat?” said Shawnee, “last year you asked but two coppers. Why now, pale face, three?” “Oh,” said the landlord, “it costs me a good deal to keep rum all the winter It’s as expensive to keep a hogshead of rum as a horse.” “I can’t see that,” said the Indian “Hogsheads no eat hay. May be drink as much water, though.” Presentation of a Sword to Gen. Wool —The sword voted to Gen. Wool by Congress in 1854, was recently present ed to him by the Government, through Capt. Shields, formerly of the General’s staff, in a private way. It cost $1600 and is a beautiful piece of workmanship Name oF THE Last Born.—Queen Victoria is great upon nomenclature, es pecially when applied to royal offshoots The ninth baby is called by the “Quee: Mother,” Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore! Let the fashionable henceforth bear it in perpetual memory that it takes four names at a christening to keep within the regal vogue. The Atlantic Telegraph Cable—Advices from London state that the British Government has offered another vessel, equal in all respects to the Agamemnon, to take the place of the steanfer Niazara in laying down the ocean telegraph cable. er A gentleman has recently dis covered in the bush of Australia, a very beautiful insect which is not spoken of in any work of natural history. It is somewhat less than a butterfly and re sembles a bird. In fact, it seems to be a turkey in miniature, and he kas named it the “turkey-fly.” KE” Two ladies who inhabit the region of Van Zandt (Albany: street, were having some words together on the road side, when the daughter of one of them popped her head out of the door, and cried out: “Hurry, mother, and call her thief be fore she calls you one.” Daring a dark night, ablind man was walkingin the streets with a lighted cande in his hand, anda pitcher upon his shoulders. “Friend,” said a person who met him, “of what use to you is that light ? Are not day and night the same to you ?” “It isnot for myself that I carry the tent replied the blind man, “but for blockheads like you to prevent them from running against me and breaking my pitcher.’ Why is an unwelcome visitor like a the United States last year are put shady tree ? Because we are glad when down at $110,000,000, . he leaves. FB Ata

Make Way for Herbert and Weller ! We experience feelings to-day which are indescribable; we know not whether they rise from amazement, disgust or anger. A scene occurred in the Democratic State Nominating Convention, last night, which so far exceeds every thing considered damnable in the transactions of party, that we hesitate in believing what we beheld as plainly as we now witness the shadows and reflections of day. Yesterday morning we heard several loudly declaring that this would be the most respectable convention ever convened in California, and it was asseried that the deliberations of that body would noise the State with plaudits and rejoice the people because of the brighter period about to commence under purified Demoeratie policy. We listened, glad to hope earnestly that we heard truth. The day passed, and after having seen the delegates seated in their place of meeting, we were willing to admit that the Convention had every appearance of respectability. Night came, the delegates again assembled,and John B. Weller’s nomination for Governor was immediately preceded by a proceeding whieh should cause every honorable citizen to spit upon the ticket and meet each delegate now and hereafter with detestation and contempt. P. T. Her bert, who was sent to represent California in Congress, by murdering Irish waiters at hotels, desired to address the Convention; a few attempted to prevent the impropriety, but were hissed into silence. Then the house rang with yells of triunmph and Herbert was urged to speak. This was in Benton’s Church. He wish. ed to express his opinion of the Vigi. lance Committee, “a set of villainous traitors who took the law in their own hands.” Herbert said this—Herbert, who took the law in Aés own hands and murdered a poor Irishman that dared to resent an insult offered by a low desperado. Yes, Herbert said this and the Democratic State Convention applauded, and when he ceased speaking, three cheers were given for Herbert—-Herbert, who shoots Irish waiters; and the Chairman of the Convention—A. C. Bradford, of San Joaquin—enthusiastically waves his hand over his head and wildly shouts with the rest: “Three cheers for the Honorable Phil. Herbert.’”” This occurred in Benton’s Church. Then came the nomination of John B. Weller for Governor. The brilliancy which surrounded him at the moment of his success was never surpassed. Of the lights that round him blazed, none shone so full on his face as Herbert’s, and above all the voices preclaiming him the Democratie first choise, rose that of the shameless homicide. We would not have believed, two days ago, or at any time since he was first announced as a candidate, that such would be John B. Weller’s introduction to the electors by the Convention. Who that have desired bis nomination because they thought him somewhat more dignified and national in his Democracy than others of the party, expected him to select P. T. Herbert as his grand usher? Who expected that he would require Notorious McGowan to stand near the Delegates and cry out when Herbert was interrupted in his speech: “Hang the stranglers and hissers, the d—d sons of h—s ?”” This was in Benton’s Church. Where is the respectability of the Convention now ?— What great honor has it reflected upon the party and upon the State? Where have gone all those representations in favor of purity in the “National” portion of the Democracy, and all those expressions of disgust at the former illegitimate course pursued by other leaders? The fine picture proves to be a daub, the new policy promised is merely a promise to deceive, and the Demoeratic candidate is a moral and political sham, at which decency and honest democratie principle must revolt. The makers of this nomination are too enthusiastic, too certain that their candidate will be received with unbounded favor. There will come up such a storm of truths against John B. Weller as to wholly darken the prospect wherever he moves. It will be shown that he isthe cause of all our land tioubles and the consequent depression and discontent: from every page of the history of his public career facts will start out and strip and send him forth a polluted demagogne ; and the Irish will cint at him in derision as the friend and defender of Herbert, the murderer of Keating—Herbert, the murderer of Irishmen.—Sac. Age, July 15. Tur CrinoLInE— Origin of its Name. —Since the ladies have adopted the fashion of making pyramids of themselves, by extending the bottom of their skirts, by entrenchments of brass and whalebone, we have frequently been asked the derivation of the term “crinoline,” and to gratify the inquisitive, it affords the greatest pleasure to inform them that the term crinoline is derived from the Latin word crints, which means the hair of the head. The word in the French language becomes criz, and is generally applied to horse hair. In colloquial Latin of the Lower Empire, crinis might naturally pass into the diminutive crinola, and from this we easily form the word crinoline, to signify a fabric moven of hair, a finer and more dainty tissue than the common hair cloth, called by the French cilice. Un sommier de crin; a hair mattress. Se prendre aux crin; to seize another by the hair—often a feminine accomplishment. A tous crins ; with flowing mane and tail. We think this explanation ought to be satisfactory, and must certainly be apropos. = Dr. Livingston, the African traveler, is said to be almost black from constant exposure to a hot sun. So it ! seems climate does affect color. Ee Monsarrat, who was caught in Foreign Pavurers—If any doubt the room of the sister of King Kamehahas been entertained asto the transpormeha, under very suspicious circumstances, was banished the Hawaiian kingdom by the following decree : Decree of Banishment. We, Kamenamena Fourtu, by the Grace of God King of the Hawaiian Islands, to all whom these presents shall come; GREETING: Whereas, Marcus ©. Monsarrat, a naturalized subject of this Kingdom, is guilty of having perpetrated a grievous injury to Ourselves and to Our Royal Family : And Whereas, Such injury is of such a character as, in Our judgment, to authorize and require the expulsion of the said M. C. Monsarrat from Our Dominions, in order to the due vindication and preservation of Our honor and dignity, Now. Therefore, Kuow ye, that We, in the exercise of the power vested in Us by virtue of Onr office as Sovereign of this Kingdom, and in accordance with the provisions of the Forty-fifth Article of the Constitution, do hereby order that the said Marcus C. Monsarrat be forthwith expelled from this Kingdom; and he is hereby strictly prohibited, forever, from returning to any part of Our Dominions, under the penalty of Death. Given under Our hand and the Great [u.s.] Seal of the Kingdom, at Our Palace of Honolulu, this twentieth day of May, A. D. 1857. KAMEHAMEHA. KAAHUMANU. {S The Volcano, on Hawaii, appears to be restless again. <A correspondent at Lahaina, writes. June 22: “Last night it was very light in the direction of Bawaii, from 8 o’clock during the night. At 10 o’clock, it was very plamly to be seen, and although cloudy at one time it was nearly as light as when the moon is half full.” Orances —The crop at Kona, Hawaii, a correspondent informs us, will not equal last years. Several trees have been examined, all of which bore pretty full last season. ‘Two of them yielded 5200 oranges, but this year will not turn out 1000, and the same falling off in the yield is noted in North aud South Kona. . On Kauai the orange crop will bea good yield. Lumsper.—The lumber trade is steadily increasing, and is showing itself in the improved character of the native houses erected all over this island. We understand that more than half of the jobbing at the lumber yards, in town, is to natives, who generally pay cash in their purchases. So long as the price of lumber is low, they will build their houses, at least the body of the house, . of wood in preference to grass.—Com. Adv., Honolulu. Cnoare AND Dana.—Two great master minds now coutend for supremacy at the New England Bar— Rufus Choate, who has long held that position without a rival, and Richard H. Dana, Jr., who is rising proudly and steadily to an eminence which will place him . among the mightiest orators of the New World. Both were engaged on the Dalton divorce case, which terminated on Saturday night in a disagreement of the jury—Dana for the husband and Choate for the wife. There was some indications of “muttered thunder” during the reception of the evidence which had prepared the good people of Boston for a masterly passage at arms between those two intellectual giants. And it came in the summing up. ‘The antagonists had measured their weapons, and each knew his relative advantages over the other. Both showed their very best points, brought out their strongest logic, and used their most beautiful rhetortc. It was the days of the Forum revived. The two arguments occupied three days in their delivery. They are reported in full in the Boston Bee, and we have never read anything exhibiting masterly and fervid eloquence in a more striking degree. It would be hard to pronounce upon the claims of either to the merit of distinction. Both show that they are men of intellect, classic culture, great legal acquirements, and large experience, both in human nature and the law.— Choate is the most impassioned; Dana the most polished; Choate the most striking ; Dana the most subtle ; Choate the boldest; Dana the most cautious— but both take front rank in the use of beautiful figures of speech, and in the striking arrangement of the different branches of their subject. Choate has found his equal, and henceforth can lay no claim to the title which he has so long and undisputedly borne, as ‘the head of the New England Bar.” A brilliant future is no doubt in store for the rising lawyer.—N. Y. Paper. AnecpoTe or NapoLteon.—The following anec tote of the conqueror of Europe was handed us by a member of the Alumni of the House of Correction, and, we are assured, has never been in print . (nor anywhere else) before : When the great man was at sehool, at the Pyrotechnic Institute at Paris. at the age of twelve years, his writing master advised him to study the first part of his copy book more attentively. “Wherefore?” asked the future hero of Marengo and St. Helena. “It is well,” said the teacher, “to be familiar with pot-hooks and trammels, before the formation of letters is attempted.” “But I,” said Napoleon, his eye flashing forth a pale green light. “2 know no Trammels !” A faet sufficiently proven by his subsequent eareer. k= It is one of the loveliest customs of the ancients to bury the young at morning twilight; for, as they strove to give the softest interpretation to death, so they imagined that Aurora, who loved the young, had stolen them to her embrace. tation of paupers by the German Governments to America, they will be digsipated by the following order lately issued by the government of Wurtemberg : “Whereas, it has been repeated represented to us that German jnnlegeast in America, and among them enigcamp from Wurtemberg, who either on a count of sickness or ineapability to lab desire to return to their native land, ar forwarded by the German Emigratio Society in New York; and whereas, it is undesirable that those who have e igrated, and particularly those who hay been sent to America at the expense the State or communes, in case they should not meet with success in Amer ca, whether it be owing to their ow fault or not, should return to their native country to become a burden upon the State or the communes, which in such case would have entirely thrown away the cost of transporting them ; and whereas, especially the American aus thorities can searcely feel authorized to send-back persons who have once been permitted to land, for no other canse than mere lack of success, and still less ean the German Emigration Society have the right to demand the return of such persons, therefore all proper steps are to be taken to prevent the sending back of such individuals.” This is abusing hospitality a little too much. New York is to be made a Botany Bay for German paupers, and then is not to be allowed to send them back at their own expense. This will hardly do.—New York Tribune. . SALAMANDER.—The Salamander is an animal believed by ancients to have the property of existing unhurt in fire ; and anong the miners of Cornwall, England, a superstition prevails that if a fire be kept in for a century, continuously, a salamander will arise from the flames, as Venus rose from the sea, or Minerva from the brain of Jupiter. Hence they invariably cause their engine fires, which otherwise are kept contiuually burning, to be put out every few years. A French Consul in the Island of Rhodes in 1789, gravely relates that while sitting in his chamber, there, he heard a loud ery in the kitchen, whither he ran, and found his cook in a horrible fright, who informed him that she had seen the devil in the fire. M. Ponthonier (the Cousul) then states that he looked into a bright fire and there saw a little animal with open mouth and palpitating throat. He took the tongs and endeavored to remove it. At his first attempt, the anfimal, which he says had been motionless up to that time (two or three minutes) ran into a corner of the chimney, having lost the tip of his tail in eseaping, and buried itself in a heap of asheg. In his second attempt the Consul was successful and drew the animal out, which he describes as a sort of small lizard, plunged it into spirit and gave it to Buffon, the naturalist. Pliny, the naturalist, says: ‘Of all venomous beasts, there are not any so hurtful and dangerous as are the salamanders. As for other serpents, they can hurt but one at once, neither kill they many together; to say nothing how when they have stung or bitten a man, they die for verie grief and sorrow that they have done such mischief, as if they had some pricke and remorse of conscience afterwards, and never enter they againe into earthe, es unworthy to be received there.” A Far West Eprroriat Sanctum.—The Kansas correspondent of the Richmond Hxgwirer ina recent letter to that paper, thus describes the sanctum of the editor of the Weekly Herald, printed in Leavenworth (Kansas) City, at the time he made a visit : It will not be amiss here’to give you a sketch of the office as presented to the eye of a stranger from Louisiana: “h visit to the printing office afforded a rich treat. On entering the first room on the right hand three law ‘shingles’ were on the door; on one side was a rich bed—French blankets, sheets, table cloths, shirts cloaks and rugs, all together; on the wall hung hams, maps, venison and rich engravings, onions, portraits and boots; on the floor were a side of bacon, carved to the bone, corn and potatoes, stationery and books; on a nice dressing case stood a wooden tray half full of dough, while crockery occuied the professional desk. In the room on the left—the sanctum—the housewife, cook aud editor lived in glorious unity—one person. He was seated on a stool, with a paper before him ona piece of plank, writing a vigorous knock down to an article in the Kickapoo Pionecr, apaper of arival city. The cooking stove was at his left, and tin kettles all round; the corn cake was ‘a doing,’ and instead of scratchirg his head for an idea, as editors often do, he turned the cake and went ahead.” Se Days of Grace, on notes and bills —the New York Evening Post advises the sweeping away of. It is ancld custom, behind this commercial age, reasons the editor. This custom varies widely in different countries. In England and America three days are allowed; in Hamburg, twelve; in Frankfort-on-the-Main, four; in Lisbon and Oporto, fifteen on inland, and eight on foreign bills; in Spain, fourteen on inland, and eight on forei: bills. In France there were former ten days allowed; but the Code Napoleon, among many other sensible things, overthrew the custom entirely; and where the code now prevails, as in France, Genoa, Antwerp, Leghorn, Falermo and Rotterdam, there are no dalys of grace at all. = The receipts of the railroads in OLE NUMBER 375. How To PREVENT Mosauvirogs Bitinc.—As the hot weather has set in, and mosqnitoes are about becoming troublesome, we, with our usual kindness towards our subscribers, give this valuable recipe for the prevention of mosquitoe bites. Take a house near the banks of some river or stream—the size of the house will of course depend upon your means —divest yourself of your clothing, and then walk up to your neck iu the water; when you sce a mosquitoe coming, bob down, and it will pass harmlessly over you. Care must be taken, however, that you don’t keep your head too long under water. By paying attention to the above, mosquitoes will never worry you. WELLER AND Hersert.—The following from the Bulletin is quite noticeable: Mr. Editor :—I heard yesterday that Mr. Weller, if elected Governor, would appoint Phil. Herbert as his Private Secretary. My object in writing to you is to be enlightened on this point, as I am a mechanic, born in Ireland, but A Citizen By AvopTion. [We are sorry we cannot enlighten “A Citizen by Adoption,” but hardly think that Mr. Weller would be guilty of such an outrage, although we have heard rumors of the same kind. We advise the writer to ask Mr. Weller him selfi—Ed: Bullctin.] THe CABLE FoR THE ADRIATIC.—The strongest cable ever manufactured for a merchant vessel is now lying at one of the railway stations in this town. The makers of the cable are Messrs. Hing. ley & Sons, of Kradley and Netherton It is intended for mooring the United States Mail Steamship Adriatic in the Sloyne when she arrives, and is considered capable of holding her, large as she is, in the heaviest gale. The leneth of the cable is forty yards, and “its weight per link fifty pounds. In the process of proving, one of the weakest links gave way at 97 tons pressure, with a force that shook the building. Anew link was substituted, and the cable withstood a strain of 105 tons. Messrs Hingley & Sons are making the eables for the Great Eustere each link of which will weigh 70 pounds.—Liverpoo! Telegraph. Atcoran.—The book which contains the revelation and eredenda of Mahomet: It is confessedly the standard of the Arabic tongue, and as the Mahometans believe, inimitable by any haman pen ; hence they assume its divine origin. It is the common opinion of writers that Mahomet was assisted by Batiras, a Jacobin, Sergius, a Nestorian monk, and by a learned Jew, in composing this book, most of whose principles are the same as those of Arius, Nestorius, Sabellius, and other heresiarchs. The “Mahometans say that God sent it to their prophet by the Angel Gabriel: it was written aboot a. D. G10. {> Asa specimen of the wit of the red race, we give the retort of a Shaw nee Indian, who, having had a drink of fire-water of a Yankee tavern keeper, was asked three coppers for it.”’ “How dat?” said Shawnee, “last year you asked but two coppers. Why now, pale face, three?” “Oh,” said the landlord, “it costs me a good deal to keep rum all the winter It’s as expensive to keep a hogshead of rum as a horse.” “I can’t see that,” said the Indian “Hogsheads no eat hay. May be drink as much water, though.” Presentation of a Sword to Gen. Wool —The sword voted to Gen. Wool by Congress in 1854, was recently present ed to him by the Government, through Capt. Shields, formerly of the General’s staff, in a private way. It cost $1600 and is a beautiful piece of workmanship Name oF THE Last Born.—Queen Victoria is great upon nomenclature, es pecially when applied to royal offshoots The ninth baby is called by the “Quee: Mother,” Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore! Let the fashionable henceforth bear it in perpetual memory that it takes four names at a christening to keep within the regal vogue. The Atlantic Telegraph Cable—Advices from London state that the British Government has offered another vessel, equal in all respects to the Agamemnon, to take the place of the steanfer Niazara in laying down the ocean telegraph cable. er A gentleman has recently dis covered in the bush of Australia, a very beautiful insect which is not spoken of in any work of natural history. It is somewhat less than a butterfly and re sembles a bird. In fact, it seems to be a turkey in miniature, and he kas named it the “turkey-fly.” KE” Two ladies who inhabit the region of Van Zandt (Albany: street, were having some words together on the road side, when the daughter of one of them popped her head out of the door, and cried out: “Hurry, mother, and call her thief be fore she calls you one.” Daring a dark night, ablind man was walkingin the streets with a lighted cande in his hand, anda pitcher upon his shoulders. “Friend,” said a person who met him, “of what use to you is that light ? Are not day and night the same to you ?” “It isnot for myself that I carry the tent replied the blind man, “but for blockheads like you to prevent them from running against me and breaking my pitcher.’ Why is an unwelcome visitor like a the United States last year are put shady tree ? Because we are glad when down at $110,000,000, . he leaves. FB Ata
