Tha pubIicatiSgi which Mr. Calhoun mas l made of his seutimehls on the subject oI the l Tariff and the Federal Judiciary, has reacm- | cd us tn the Pendiston Messenger ot tne Stn instant. A nasty glance has eOnvinee4 us that Nr. Calhoun has herein re1Ouneeds % effsct, tlne views which he enteTtained, and 60 well expressed, in 1916 that he has allied himself to the party marching under the Dan- ner of mallifc0ti0ns to discOFd. feud and d,su- niou and that he has severed the last tle | which held to him the reasonable and proper affection of those States which have consist entIy maintained the doctrine which he has now repudiated. viz : that American Industry ought 10 be encouraged by the protective sys- tenn. The effect of this exposition must be to diminish his popularity in PennsyIvania, and fhe great NortherD and Western States. The principles against which he raises his ai En ] and his pen must be maintained, at the peril
 of the man. He who, fifteen years ago. de-
 clared that a Tariff was c0nstitutiOnal and ex- peGient, even 10 an extent which would place American Manufactures :" beyond the reach
 of cOntingency,H may have a perfect right to
 revise and modify his opinions -but he must
 do SO to the injury of his own repntaii0n for
 wisdom. consistency, and firm mind. We Ethink that Mir. Calhoun, in yielding np the orl- I ;ginal convictions of his own judgment 10 the
 whisperings of those who surround him, has abandoned great portion of the claim which he held in the public esteem, and has eyinced
 diminished sagacity. and either q declining capacity to understand, ordispostion to Pur- l sue, the true interests of his country. No-

 to act like man of spirit to c0whide MT. F..
 whenever he should meet him. After search

 arrival of the mail) without success, he went l early in the morning to his lodgings and re-
 quested to be shown to his room. MT. Bid- I die found him asleep, called to him in loud him in his shirt. MT. Pettis exclaimed, What, attack a man in his bed! MT.

 Orang Outang. had the honor of an 1; interview with a young lady of this family a } few days since. in Boston. ; When we were shown into her apartments, she was lying down upon neat little tuck -up bed, her head resting upon her hand. Shc had just arrived from long sea-y0yage had been con- q siderably indisposed duling the passage and had not quite recovered her usual strength of
 body and elasticity of spirits. On being ask
 ed if she was well enough to get up, she said yes as we'll as she knew how, extended her
 hands. and was raised much as kind mother
 would raise a sick daughter. She was already
 dressed for morning calls, but had taken of | uSE CdfU uo uoWUs II HIS Su6 TepLdCeU, ana ] adjusted it very neatly. shawl being hand ed to her she put it on, and folded it about her
 arm as gracefully as one of the fashionable | Broadway bellies could have done sit. The
 doctor approached with scalpel and asked her if she would be bled--to which she readily
 assented, and held out her arm. But after
 feeling of her pulse, the lrech told her that
 her fever had abated, and there was no fur ther need of phlebotomy. Miss de Boreno | thereupOn folded her handkerchief, and plac-
 ing it behind her head. leaned in repose upon
 the back of the chair. The age of this dam
 sel is less than asyear-bnt she looked as old
 as Ellspeth in the AntiQuary. Her height is | about two and a half feet, and her hands and
 feet very closely resemble those of the human
 family. Indeed to speak s0berly. as the fore-s | going is really true relation, the resemblance. of the animal to our own species--humiliat- ing as the admission may seem, was painful ly striking. The greatest deficiency is the
 want of a more prominent nose.--N. Y. Spec. H0ii StOrm.--On Tuesday afternoon last,
 this city was visited by violent storm of wind, rain and hail. many of llle stones of at
 least an ounce weight. We cannot learn that any old inhabitant remembers eyer witness ing such n storm in this city. Its effects
 were chiefly felt in the city, the fallof hail not
 having been experienced far to the north-
