ARKANSAS. The Legislature of Arkan-
sas assembled at Little Rock on the 9Th
ult. On the 18th Governor Pope transmit
ted his Message, which is long and inter-
estlng document Among other things, he
says =" With regard to our frontier on
Texas, it may not be amiss to remark, that
hope is INDUCED that it will be purchased
by our Government. From a superficial
view of the subject, it seems to me that the
Mexican Government can have no strong
objection to sell, and that it would be wise
and prudent to become the owners. We
have every reason to expect that the pres
ent Chief Magistrate of the nation will not
only avail himself of every opportunity 10
advance the great interest of the nation,
but that nothing will be wanting on his
part to add to the strength, security, and
prosperity of the western country. The
acquisition of this province will insure to us
peace and safety on our southwestern and
western borders"

A PROFITABLE WIFE. A clergyman in
one Of our large cities, having married a
couple who were strangers, found, on open

closed in the certificate, one bright cent.
few months after, while walking in the
street, stranger accosted him with the
question, " do you know me, sir 2" al do
not" was the reply. "Do not! why. sir,
you married me-" GQuite probable" re-
piled the clergyman, but / so frequently
marry strangers, that it is difficult, after
wards, always to recognize them" "One
circumstance" said the stranger. (which /

CoNNExIoN OF THE ATLANTIC WITH
THE PACIFIC. A Bogota paper says, "The
Typographical Commission appointed to ex-
anime the obstacles which oppose the open
ing of communication between the Allan.
tic and the Pacific through the Isthmus of
Panama, have informed the government that
in their opinion, one considerable difficulty
has vanished, in the discovery that the ttSo
seas hare the same leyel but notwithstand-
ing this, they consider the enterprise as not
very easy to be accomplished. The pres
ent mode of communication would perhaps
be preferable. The navigation cf the river
Chagres being improved by the means Of
steam boats, and a-road constructed from
Cruces to Panama, which is scarcely seven
leagues, and can be made passable for car
riages, the course to the Pacific would be
very short"

WALKING FISH. A fish called the has
sar, in the West Indies, possesses the sin
gular property oftrayelling over land, which
it invariably does, when the pools it inhab-
its becomes dry. 1t is said that these fish
will travel a whole night in search of their
object at the rate of three miles an hour.
and they effect their march by the use of
their elastic tail, with which they throw
themselves forward on their arms, or front
fins. The Indians say that these fish carry
supply Of water within them for their
journey, for their bodies are always wet
and if wiped dry they speedily become
moist. The hassar makes a regular nest in
which it lays its eggs, and guards it very
carefully until the spawn is Matched.
