They know where official luxuries are tu be had, and where they are not to be had, aud they are seldom found in the wrong pastry shop. The vote of a rascal is just as potent as the vote of a saiit, and one counts just as mach oe the other, in swelling the grand total of a ‘party’s efficiency. However righteous o ‘party mny be, its leaders never show any especial horror when a sinner proffers it the compliment of his suffrage. It is all gtist that comes to a politician's mill, no matter who brings it. These easy-con' geienced voters, whose patriotism is meas__mred ‘by their individual interests, have @xeeedingly crude conceptions of consistency, integrity, gratitude, and other such old-fashioned words; for, as they practise such virtues very sparingly, they have but little occasion to trouble their heads about their definitions. With them, consistency in a Consistent struggle to find the strong and ‘safe side of a vexed “question, and, when . strong and safe. Integrity they regard as nothing more than remaining true to their party colors, as long as their party is better able than any other to keep them well fed and well clothed. Gratitude—but this is a word not in their vocabulary!

EMPRESS Eveene RusTicaTING.—The Empress Engebie, of France, lias been spending the summer at Les Eaux Bonnes, a watering place at the base of the Pyrenees, romping up and down the mountwins and enjoying herself like a sensible woman. An American girl, _ the same place, writes home : Papa has juat come in from his journey up the mountain, with his handkerchief full of snow bel's. He says he met the Empress going still higher then he ventured. with her skirts oe: up, with five or-six attendants, ond a donkey carrying provisions for a lunch.

I bad a good look at her this morning, ns Lpnets very near by, through three masses, in the little church. he chureh is quite wmull, there are no pews, and the people seemed almost piled on each other. The Empress is of medium height, rather prominent nose, Shes eyes, complexion quite mens. . Ft. not handsome. She usually wears a lnck silk dress, with » grey saeque, a seek up all around to keep it out of the Teame near running over her, or she over me,yeater day. I was comin from the spring, picking wy way carefully down the mountain, looking where I was putting my feet, for fear of tumbling, aa it was very muddy and slippery. The Empress was toiling up with the same care, a re we were almost on each other without knowing it. Her dress was covered with mud, as she was. just from ber “ surveying expedition.” anne en ee een ‘ Tre Last Hours or WALKER IN TRUx{LLO—AN ALLEGED DyinG SpEecH.—Very few particulars, says a late N.

His men were locked up in prison while he was being executed, and of course, had no chance to see how he diéd or hear what he said. The deficient details, however, have come to hand, through Spanish sources, and although different m some respects, from what we expected to hear, there 1s no witness Bt te oe to contradict the information. @ Spanish correspondent ofa Havana paper supplies a former omission. The substance of ce thus received is, that after Walker's captu and retusn to Truxillo, he was taken ae pe son and heavily ironed. On being asked wanted anything, he ealled only for water. He then sent for the Captain of the port, and protesting his faith as a Roman Cathelie,he was seen thereafter almost constantly kneel. ing at the feet ofthe priest in front of a small altar,on which, by thedim light of the tapers, the image of Jesus was distinguished. Among other things, he once said to the Captain, “1 = papers my political career is conog "the 1Ith inst. at 7 o'clock P.

A Dark Kxicur.—Edward Jordan, of Kingston, Jamaica, a colored man, whose 5 eels ah oil wells of Pennsylvania are better than gold mines. New discoveries are made almost every day of springs yielding, from ten barrels a day to a barrel a minute, including many wells that discharge themseives. The oil can be pumped up, barrelled and delivered in New York at 12} cents a gallon, snd sells readily at 40 cents. The profit, at these prices, on a ten in all this rich region is held at fabulous prices, and can hardly be purchased at any money. Phe cost: a welt and getting it into operation is inside of $2,000, and yet owners of the poorest, refuse $20,000 for their locations. " {P The Hibernian Savings and Loan in-}stitution, established about eighteen months ago, proves to bea success. Mooney's Express saya that from the first half dozen deposits, made io April, 1859, down to July, 1860, there had beeti received fiom 317 depositors $184,000, all of which is loaned upon solid security ; and fam its profits a ,@ yearly dividend of fifteen per cent. is regen itly made to alk depositors, besides the payment of «ll expenses. The smallest deposit received is $2 50. The deposits are loaned upon real estate mortgage security in San Franciseo, and borrowers have to pay back the principal of their loans iv stated installments. A Swinmixne Feat.—Some time’ last week, a sailor belonging to to an English manof-war lying at Mare Island, deserted from the vessel, and swam the straits to the Contra Costa side in the ‘night. The width of the straits where this feat'was performed is not less than two miles. The sailor applied to one of our citizens for employment, and, on being questioned, he told the story of his desertion, and expressed a determination to die rather than be captured and taken back to the ship. A ScounpDREL.—-The Hamilton (Iowa) Freeman learns that a yoting man at Iowa Falls, boarding in the family of a respectabie citizen, seduced the two daughters of: his host. The youngest, aged but fifteen years, he poisoned, and married the eldest about an hour before she gave birth to a child. The horrid affuir 1s now eolereving legal iuvestigation. E.Lopement.—On Tuesday,October 16th, says the San Andreas Independent, a pair of lovers, with matrimonial intent, eloped from the residence of a substantial farmer living in the vicinity of Jenny Lind, and were united in wedlock.

As we know of no better definition than that of Webster, we here subjoin it, for the benefit of the curious: “ Barbecue—In the Weat Indies, a hog roasted whole. It is, with us, used for an ox; or, perhaps, any large animal dressed in like manner. Herice the term has been extended to denote a large social entertainment, in the open air, at which animals are roasted whole, and other provisions of all kinds are consumed. Barbecue—o.

The Sonora Age, of Oct. 20th, says that another heavy showers of rain continued to fall point to the probability of a severe and very wet winter. We are led to enticipate this, from the striking similarity between this season, so far, and those of 1849-and 1852. te” Lieut.

As we know of no better definition than that of Webster, we here subjoin it, for the benefit of the curious: “ Barbecue—In the Weat Indies, a hog roasted whole. It is, with us, used for an ox; or, perhaps, any large animal dressed in like manner. Herice the term has been extended to denote a large social entertainment, in the open air, at which animals are roasted whole, and other provisions of all kinds are consumed. Barbecue—o. To dress and roasta hog whole, which is done by splittic = hog to the eps eres #0 ae ; to roast an animal whole.” Wer Wearuer. —Proguostications " are made on all sides, that the evsuing winter is likely to be as wet as that of 1849-50. The Sonora Age, of Oct. 20th, says that another heavy showers of rain continued to fall point to the probability of a severe and very wet winter. We are led to enticipate this, from the striking similarity between this season, so far, and those of 1849-and 1852. te” Lieut.
