CASHMERE GOATS IN FRANCE.

NJ. Thaer has lately published an article
in German Journal, relative to the Cash
mere goats, so called, which have been nat
uralzed in France. He asserts, that, not
wthstanding all the pompous articles that
have filled the pages of the French Journals,
these goats are very different from those OF
Tibet, which produce the down of the cell
ebrated Cashmere shawls; and he believes
the public has been imposed upon by spec
ulators. He gives the following history OF
the introduction of these animals into France
A few wears since M. Jaubert set out for
Tibet for the purpose of obtaining certain
number of goats, but having arrived at
Constantinople, he was convinced that he
should expose himself to many dangers in
attempting to reach Tibet, and he learnt
that he could easily purchase goats among
the Klrghis and Tartars From the nforma-
ton he o,5tained, he was induced to believe
that the goats of the Kmghis and Tartars
were of the same species as those ot Flbet,
not considering there is distance OF 600
leagues between these two countries. IL
purchased great number of these klrghis
and Tartar goats, put them on board OF
vessels, anil they arrived i'll France, under
the name Of Cashmere S }Ats. NJ. ilabrlc-
der, a gentleman who resided some years
| at Astrachan on the Caspian Sea, wrote to
M. Ihaer that he was astonshei TO see NJ
Jaubert sending to France the miserable
! kirehis goats, which cost IN the country less
than IS cents per head. he kirghis and
! Tartars comb their goats, and get some very
fine down which they make into cloth. but
ait is probable" says Nj. rhaer, "that our
goats would offer the same advantages. =
| It is said that the English East India Com
pany have several nmes attempted 10 in.
troduce the goats of Tibet into their pos
sessions, adjoining that country, but have
never been able to obtain them from the
grand Lama

HARD TIMES.

Such is, and such always has been, the
cry OF our farmers; and the present times,
as must be confessed, are hard, if we COM
pare them exclusively with much better
times, so far as relates to the prices of ag
ricultural produce. But before we feel JUS
titled in complaining of hard times and gen
eral distress, ought we not to look to worse
times as we'll as better? and to other coun-
tiles as well as our own? 1t is true that
wheat will not fetch 81 per bushel, neither
will tobacco bring 500 per hogshead. But
does the happiness and comfort OF life de
pend, indispensably on those prices' Has
not the farmer an abundance, and more than
he can dcvour of meat and breade Does he
not manage scandalously whose garden docs
not furnish him with plenty of good ycget-
ables' and whose dairy does not yield milk
and butter to consume and to spare! Can
not every farmer raise wool and cotton and
flax to cothe his family and his people?
He who has not enough of all these, owes
the deficiency to his own want OF industry
and plain obvious management; and with all
abundance of meat, bread vegetables milk,
1 and clothing, beer, and cider, is he not under
Providence, ungrateful to be forever repin-
| ing aud mopng, and complaining about hard
times hard tmesl Where is the nation,
we speak Of the mass OF the people, on the
habtable globe, that would not, if they
could, change "times" and conditions with
us, and felicItate themselves and sing halle
luahs to that kind Providence which had
supplied the means of gratifying every want
that is essential to wholesome and comfort
able living? The bane of our happiness con-
sists in confounding Injuries with necessa-
ries; and in keeping our imaginations for ev-
err fixed on those who have, fer faa auth he,
nefas. accumulated the means of pampering
their morbid and vicious appetites with ev.
cry dainty. and their vanity with all kind
of empty shows, rather than on the millions
in other countries who are literally naked
and perishing FOR want of bread
If we would look oftener at these, we A
-mericans would cease to outrage Providenc
with the false cry of-hard times! To
!beneyolsnt mind it must be painful to tlray

TO HIS PATRONS,
On the commencement Of the Ne7v Year

-1 HCfffc g.

greet ye, PATRoNs, with NEw-YEAR's birth
Onward it comes with swiftand steady pace,
Laden with stores for this our neither earth, /
And gifts to please or pain our varied race.
Shall Winter bring his gay and social hours,
His genial blaze and comfortable che err
Or shall the bowling storm with frozen showers,
Make lfe's swift moments desoate and drearl
Shall Spring, arrayd in fresh and gaudy dress,
With life and sprightliness come tripping on,-l
Or shall it be the herald of Distress
Of fortunes broken, and of hearts undone!
Shall Summer, vestur'd in its sunny blaze,
Bring its rich treasures with lavish hand'--
And .9utumn, gilded with its mder rays,
With luscious gifts abundant bless the land
Kind Patrons tits your News-I3oy's ardent pray'r,
That Heavens best gift to you may freely flow
That nations, individuals, be his care,
And own his goodness with grateful glow.
In the fleet year which just is past and gone,
A half century has swiftly run
Since first Columba's sons, with heart and hand,
Declared themselves an independent band,
And risk'd their honor, fortunes, lives, their all,
" ith her to triumph, or with her to fall
Two mighty men, whose talents strong and bold,
Form'd to create, to strengthen and uphold
Freedoms high plans, magnificent and great.
Have pass'd from this probationary state
ADAMS and JEFFERSON have run the br ipb
career,
And flown triumphant to higher sphere
Their free-born souls in raptures upward fee,
While millions celebrate the Jubilee!
Since last hail'd you with the newborn year
I've served you weekly with various fa4e;-
Thro' Summers noontide sun, dissolvng warm.
Thro' dreary Winters chilling, bowling storm,
I've brought you cheerfuly rich display
Ofthe transactions of the passing day.
A fit variety has mark'd our papers page,

Spending my time and labor not in vain
Il humbiy hope) approving smiles to gain.
I'ye culPd, with careful hand, the sweetest
fow'rs,
That flourish in the muses. vocal bow'rs
In foreign lands exotics have sought,
And not wither'd leaf to you I've brought,
But just as fresh, as sweet as when they grew
In their own native soil, I've gave to you.
But parta. to the Bards of our own land,
I've pluck'd their labors with industrious hand
Shown that Columba's Genius, bold and free,
Can vie with older climes in minstrelsy.
The Moralist's calm. solid, useful themes,
Shed o'er my page instructive healing beams,
E1horts, Dictates persuades in pious lore,
To practice virtue and our God adore
The simple tale rehearsal in simple words.
Amusement, pastme, interest affords;
Teaching the various incidents of life
That mark the progress of the husband wife,
Sister and brother, father, lover, friend,
From their first breathing till their oeing's end
They're charts that show the shoals of deep di:

And guide to port, of truest happiness.

Secretary of State, and from the obligations
the General was under to Pennsylvania that
he would 90 far to crafty her wishes, and that
therefore he believed the General, if elected,
would appoint Mr.. Clay. 1 have thus given
the conversation substantially it took place,
as the one Mr.. b. has reference to in his letter
to the public of the 9Th of August last. 1t
was conversation of rather a general and
promiscuous character in which we both par
tlcIpated. IL IS upwards of two years since
that conversation took place, and considering
1t OF a private and confidential character /
made no minute of it, nor did ever expect it
would have been given to the public II is
somewhat remarkable, that two years and more
should have elapsed, Mr.. Buchanan and myself
boarding together at the same house during the
TWO last sessions of Congress, during which
period we had many conversations on the sub
Iect OF the Presidential election, as well as on
pubic and private matters, yet not once, in all
that time did my friend Mr.. Buchanan ever
advert to the conversation with which he has
recently thought himself called upon to give
as having taken place between us
cannot avoid thinking it somewhat singular
that Mr. B. should have been so reserved to-
wards me, particularly as Duff Green had been
furnished With statement in October, 1896
oil what had passed between General jackson
and himself and that statement had also been
furnished to him by Major Eaton in August
1870 as to the purport of the conversation be-
tween himself and Mr. Buchanan That these
movements should have taken place, and that
there should have been no concert improperly
to drag me into this business, and yet that I'M
der all these circumstances, Mr. b. should
have been silent towards me, and that he
should think proper to introduce to the public
detailed conversation in which he makes me
say ALL and himself little or nothing CONVEX
sation totally unnecessary for the purpose of
sustaining an individual acting, as he protests
he always acted, on his own authority-does
to me, and probably will to the public, seem

tions of friendship for acts of kindness, and in
whose friendship reposed the most unlimited
