 Mdthias ths KmpostoT, now n prison waiting histri- al, is daily attended by young artist, who is basily engaged taking his portrait which s to be engraved for publication. We were yesterday informed of a circumstance in relation his business, which serves exempy ihe extreme vanity of this khayish Itna- tic. When the painter first began his task, he only intended ske,chihg portrait of the face, but this Ma thias would permit, and insisted that the artist should draw his figure in full ehgth ro5ed in his pom ,ifcas, which was accordingly done The figure re- presents him in his fine embroidered coat, studded with stars, and large silver the Jeff breast; the sword of Gideon by his side, the long rule for measuring Paradise in his right hand, and large cooked hat covered with variety of strange devices, on his head. Our informan, further stated, that Ma ,hias placed himself in variety of positions, before no could determine on one which would show his person to most advantage. Alas, poor hunlah nature!

 The Races.-The contest yesterday over the Unon Course, between Riack Maria, Alice Grey, and Men ,uouth was the best and most interesting which has recently taken place. We were not present., but

Iime-lst heat, 7m. 53s.; 2d keat 7m 55s. 3d heat, 8m 7s.-making the 12 miles in g minutes 55 seconds, which is only t,oo seconds more tAaa the time between Eclipse and Henry This ,ime would have beaten IiDee, had she been presenL--C Courier q Enquirer.
 Painting Houses-A writer Eot the New England Farmer says. '" believe is is general practice for people to do their painting time during the three summer months but repeated experiments have beew made within few years, which prove that house painted late in autumn, in the winter, will hold tile pain, more ,hap twice long painted in warm weather. The reason is obvious-for when paints applied in cold weather, the oil with other ingredients form hard cement the surface of the cIapboaVds, which cannot easily he erased; wbereaS a building painted (as usua) in the heat of sumner. wilt soon need new coat; for the hea. the oI to pene- | the wood, anu teaVeS tue OtPer COWpOhcuS parts dry, which will soon crumble of"
 4 Lunatic cured.-A wandering vaga- bond committed various depredations about the country under the prelence of derange- ment, aud thus often escaped his just de- serts. He one day entered the house of a cooper who was out cutting poles. Finding the woman of the house alone, he took her up and attempted to put her on the fire.- She screamed and called her husband. He came with pole in his hand, upon which the visitor fed, but was hotly pursued and overtaken by the enraged husband. who began beating him with his pole. The iei- low beloved, Il am crazy So am ! said the man, while his blows were laid on faster and heavier. 1t need not be added that complete cure was wrought upon the pretended lunatic.
 These are my riches. ."-We know a father in Richmond county, who has twelve
 sons, all healthy and active, and their pa
 rents, we believe. young enough to have twelve more. It would be more to our pride to exhibit such parcel of boys. than gold and silver; and our country. looking on them as her best wealth, should provide in such cases, for their proper education and support. Every family in the State with twelve children, should have draft on the public treasurer for at least @5O0O When we are. elected to the legislature ihis shall bo the subject of our maiden speech. The first point we should insist on, would be it's tendency to encourage ear ly marriages, the source of more virtue. in- duslry, and public prosperity. than legisla- ltors have yet imagined Georgia Csar.
