PICTURE OF ENGLAND.
RY A FRENCH ARTIST.

The pictures Of ENGLAND and EyGLIsn
MEN era Wn by FRENoHMEN are frequent.
Iy spirited and striking. John Bull is
getting we'll punished for bis manifold sa
tires and carlcatutes of other countries.
In LG France L;ttcrGire OF last month we
fiud extracted from the Reuue des Deu9
Mondes capital satirlcaI description OF
several Of the leading men ofofthe House
Of Commons. The writer tells a curious
anecdote of Bulwer and an American,
which we shall give presently. In a few
words he describes the course OF business
in the House of Commons;
cat 3 o'clock the speaker enters the
House. Having taken his seat, he pro-
ceeds 10 count the members. If forty are
present the session IS opened. Ordinarl-
ly the first hours are spent In business OF
little importance. Bills of local bearing
and private interest are discussed. BE
tween eight and nine in the evening the
benches begin to fill, The House is sci
dom crowded before midnight. From
midnight to two in the moring the great
questions are generally discussed. Eng
lishmen have an unreasonable dislrust of
the lgh,ness Of their heads, They would
deem it dangerous to engage in lmpor
tant business before their dinners had fur
nished them with sufficient ballast, They
require to have time 10 mediate on and
mature their opinions and their elOquence
whilst drinking their wine and their
grog,"
We have the following hit at the great
Ex. Chancellor: "When he was only Mr.,
Brougham, Lord Brougham never came
10 the louise Of Commons without having
emptied two or three bottles of port 1t
was from the bottom of his glass that he
drew calmness, wisdom and discretion.--
But since ho is in the House of Lords,
which finishes its business before din
ner, he is reduced to the necessity Of spea
king fasting. This is the reason why he
is now--always intoxicated. The sobri
ETY. Of his stomach causes the intemper
ance of his tongue and his head"
Our readers must not think harshly oil
Lord Brougham, because he qualities his
solids with such an enormous qnanlity OF
vinous fluid. Port has always been o ai

GREAT FLOODS.

In the year 1900, at Madon, the
rains descended in so great quantities
for several days that the lower strata
were moistened aud the mountain in
the vicinity for considerable depth
glided down in the plain below. A
similar occurrence from similar cause
was the famous descent of Mount Col
daw in the Venihan territOriesi this
took place in the night, and so grad
ual was it that the inhabitants were
not awakened by the motion. Anoth-
er instance of the kind is recorded in
the annals of antiquity, where Mount
Tsygetus, upon which were performs
ed The orgies OF Bacchus descended
upon Laedaemon, and buried one forth
of that city in ruins. But perhaps
the most interesting among these dis
ssters is the fall Of the Rossberg, in
Switzerland, in 1906. Heavy rains
had fallen for abOuta fortnight before
it took place; and penetrating the
cracks in the mountain among some
unCtious matter, converted it into 3
puddle, so that the foundation be-
ing loosened, half the mountain gIided
into The valley below with such fall
that ii scattered 10 the distance Of four
or FIVE miles. No less than 451 per.
sons lost their lives in consequence,
besides 500 head OF cattle; and 400
other persons were reduced from a
state of comparative ease to a state Of
testitution. A catastrophe Of a some
what similar nature took place from a
different cause in The valley of GieIrOz
Switzerland, 1918, in which valley
was inundated and laid waste for TWEEN
ty five miles by the bursting ofa gla-
! cier.

sovereignty, our virtues, our talents,
are the daily themes of euology, they
assure US that we are The best and wi.
sest of the human race; that !heiF
highest glory is to be the instruments
of our pleasure, and that they will
never act, nor think, nor speak, but
as we direct them. If we name them
10 executive stations, they promise to
execute only what we Geslre, if we
send them to deIlberative bodies, they
engage never 10 deliberate, but be gui
ded solely by the light Of our intui.
tive wisdom. Startled at first by Lao
guage which, when addressed to 9th.
er sovereigns, we are accustomed TO
ridicule for its abject sycophancy, con
slant repetition makes it less incred-
ibIe. By degrees, although we may
not believe all the praise, we cannot
doubt the praiser, till at last we be.
come SO spoiled by adulation tha! truth
is unweIcome. If it comes from q
stranger, il must be prejudice; if from
a native, scarce less than treason; and
when some unhappy traveller ventures
TO smile at follies which we will not
see or dare not acknowledge, instead
of disregsrdiog it, or being amused by
it, or prof ting by il, we resent it as an
indignity to our sovereign perfeclions.
This childish sensitiveness would be
only ludicrous, if it did not expose US
10 the seduction Of lh)se who Aatter
US only till they are able to betray US
-as men praise what they mean to
sell-Ireating US like pagan idols, ca
ressed till we have granted away our
power, and then scourged for our i'm.
potence. Their pursuit of place has
allenated them from the walks Of hon
est industry; their anxiety for the pub
lie fortunes has dssipated their own,
With nothing left, either in their
minds or means, to retreat upon; hav-
ing no self.esteem, and loosing that
of others, when they cease TO possess
authority, they acquire servile love
OF sunshine-a dread Of being what is
called unpopular, that makes them the
ready instruments of any chief who
promises to be the strongest. They
degenerate at last into mere dema-
gogues, wandering about the political
common without principle or dol
lar, and anxious to dispose 10 the high
est bidder of their onIy remaining
possession, their popularity. If sue.
cesSful, they grow giddy with the FIRE
quent turns by which they rose, and
wither into obscuriy, If they mis-
calculate-if they fall into that fatal
error-a minoriy iy-relirement, which
is synonymous with disgrace, awaits
them, while their more fortunate ri.
walls, after hourishing for season in a
gaudy and feverish notoriety, are e.
cIipsed by some fresher demagogues,
some more popular man of the peo,
pie. Such is The melancholy history
of many persons, victims of an abor.
tive ambition, whom more cultivation
might have rendered useful aud hon.
orabe citizens.

Sill Company of Queen Anne County.
We are gratI6ed to learn that a Dum'
ber ofgeuIlemen in Queen Anne county,
on the eastern shore of this state. have
organized themselves into company
with capital Of s., 1000, to be increased
as the interests OF the association may re-
.quire it, for the purpose Of carrying on
the silk culture. The company IS now
in treaty for the purchase Of suitable
farm, and are taking tho necessary steps
10 procure Mulberry trees of sufficient
age and SIZE to enabl,them to feed worms
the ensuing spring. 10 say that we are
gratifed at this movement is but to con-
Vey faint and imperfect idea OF those
feelings with which we are impressed
We view 1t as The beginning ola new era
in the af1irs of Maryland -as The dawn.
ing oflhe day star other regeneration
as the corner stone of the foundation on
which is to be erected beautiful super
structure Of individual prosperity and
wealth--asthe beacon light that Is to con
duct our loved state TO an important posi-
ton in the arch Of the cOnfederacy, Such
being the light 10 which we estimate this
patriotic effort Of the gentlemen OF Queen
Anne, we would be INDUCED in hope,
that their laudabIe example may excite
the emulation Of the citizens Of every 9th
er country, not only on that shore, and
in our stale, but ofthose Of every country.
Possessing as Maryland does, in a pre-
eminent degree, all the physical caPacI'
ties iOi conducting the silk culture upon
en- enlarged and profitable footing, Moth
ing has been wanting 10 give to the pro-
ductIons ofour soil value beyond all or
dinary calculation, but proper direction
20 be gwen to the industry, enterprise d
skill. OF her peoPle,-and that, we sin.
cereIy hope aud believe has been reserv
ed furths citizens Of Queen Anne, whose
gallant lead in the promotion Of this lu.
cralige branch Of agricultural industry,
will enliile them to the gratitude and re-
spect Of their countrymen,
We honestly believe that without mate
rally interfering with the present pur-
suits Of farmers IN this state, there IS not
a county IN it that could not increase the
amount IN value Of its productions, by
entering spiritedly into the raising of
muIberries, at least half a million Of dol
lars per annum; and there are some of
them that might greatly exceed that sum.
We will not be thought sanguine upon
this point, when 1t is stated upon the au.
thority OF the Hor. Judge Spencer, that
Wmdham County in Connecticut, has
produced five tons Of silk year, worth at
the rate of 81 per pound, S500,00O: and
if in tha! bleak region Of rocks and cold;
such brilliant results have occurred, cer'
tainly IN our happy and congeniOl land
of sun and soil, much better ones may be
realized. When we speak of suitable
soil, we wish tito be borne 10 mind, that,
when the trees have once got start,
puor, sandy, or graveIly dry land, makes
the best silk, imparting to its texture a
glossiness, and TO its thread an elasticity,
which the foliage Of rich, moist, loamy
land, has no, the power Of cOnferring.-

This affair of the public land had orig

was made from quarter urfriendy to

lee on Manufactures, of which he was a
member, and to which motion he was op
posed, as not properly belonging to that
Committee. But the unnatural alliance
was ordered by vote of the majority of
the Senate. lie felt that personal EN-
barrassment was intended lor him. He
felt as fla many edged instrument had
been put into his hands, the handling Of
which would necessarily wound him.
Scarcely was the report which accompa
MED the bill read, till motion was made
to refer it to the Committee on Public
Lands, to produce countervaIling re-
port. But in despite ofall exertions, the
bill passed, He now felt anxious for the
passage of the bill. No bill was fraught
with more unmixed good or enduring ben
eft to The nation than it was, If he could
be instrumental in etacting its passage,
he should 90 into retiremeot, into which
he shortly expected to go, with highly
gratiied feelings, which he described in
emphatic language.
Mr G. in conclusion, took a retrospect
of bis past lIe. He adverted to the cir
cumstances Of his being left an orphan,

spring, aud embarrassed circumstances
unaded himsefby adyentitlous circum
stances, he felt as if he ought to be CRATE
ful to his countrymen for the high hon
ors their partiaIity had conferred upon
him, for which ia return he had aimed at
an honest, faithful, and Jealous discharge
Of his dutes.
The bill was then read twice, and re-
ferred 10 the Committee on Public
Lands.

be(ore the Anericun dissolution
ofNaSSau Hall, September Soth,
1855.
10 our country too many young
men rush into the arena of putlic life
without adequate preparation. They
fill their minds with the vu gar excite
ment Of what they call politics, for the
want of more genial stimulanls within.
Unable to sustain the rivalry of more
disciplined intelIects, they soenretlre
10 disgust and NORTH cation, or, what
is far worse, perseVere after dis
tincIons which they can now obtain
only by arGfce. They accordingly
take refuge in leagues and factions
they rejoiee in stralasems--they glo
ry in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES all these
by which medlocri'y revenges itself
on uncalcuIaIing manlness of genius
and mines its way to power. Their
knowledge Of themselves inspires a
low estimate of others. They diSrus
the jagdment and The intelligence Of
the community, on whose passions "a
lone they rely for advancement; and
their only study is to watch the shift
ing currents of popular prejudice, and
be ready, at a moments warning, TO
follow them. For this purpose, their
theory is, to have no principles, and
TO give no opinions, never 10 do any
thing so marked as to be Inconsistent
with doing the direct reverse, and nev
er TO say any thing not capable of con
Trajectory explanations. They are
thus dsincNMbered for thu race, and,
as me ancient mathematician could
have moved the world if he had a
place TO stand on, they are sure of
success If they had only room 10 turn.
Accordingly, they worship cunning,
which is only the counterfeit Of wis.
dom; and deem themselves sagacious
only because they are selfish. They
believe that generous sentiments of
love of country, for which they feel
no sympathy in. their own breast, are
hollow pretences in others; that pub
lie life is a game in which success de
| pends on dexterity; and that all gov.
erument is a mere struggle for place.
They thus disarm ambition of its on.
I ly fascination, The desire of authority,
in order 10 benefit the country, since
they do not seek places to obtain pow
er, but power to obtain places. Such
persons may rise to great official sta
tions, for high Offices are like The tops
of the pyramids, which reptiles can
reach as wei! as eagles. But though
they may gain places, they never Gao
gain honors--they may be politicians
they can never become statesmen.
The mystery of their success lies
in their adroit management of our
own weakness, just as the credullIy
of his audience makes half the jug
gler's skill. Personally aud singly
