! Ane Yankees sometimes have n dish that
they call hash, made up Of the odds and
ends of every thing they have left for days
before-a bit of pork, a bit nf beef and NUT
ton, potatoes and gravy, Sc. &C. We are
generally reminded of this on reading the
speech of DR.. Niles, the Senator from Con-
nectlcut, who has haShed up all the Loco Fo-
co newspapers in this country, and all the Es-
says and Reviews in England on the subject
OF hnance, all of which has been previously
printed in the Globe, which hash the Hartford

unns, calling it speech. Samson Ricardo,

bits IN the hash. Now we will wager one
goose quill that Senator Niles never read Ri.

The federal loco foco collector of the town
OF Fayette, in this county, absconded few
days since, having gambled away about
$l5OO OF the public money. This same Col
lector, we are Informed, presented himself to
a Wing meeting of the town as a candidate
for office, and from his known bad character
was rejected. He transferred himself to the
loco-foco party, repented of his sins and be-
came Ioco.toco, and received for his wages
the nomination Of Collector. He was elect.

DANIEL Webster.-The following is the lam
guage used by Daniel Webster, on the floor
Of the Senate, in the year of 1884," Under
pretence of a design to return to currency
which shall be all specie, we are likely to
have currency in which there will be no
specie at all. We are in danger of being O.
overwhelmed with irredeemable paper-mere
paper, representing nothing but broken
promises, bad faith, bankrupt corporations,
cheated creditors, and ruined people ~
Every man feels that the prediction has
been fearfully fulfilled TO the very letter.
Fatal Fracas at Fe,oport, R.I.-On Friday
evening last, while two men named Jewell
and Deblois, were in dispute in grocery
store at Newport, Jewell threw handful Of
flour into the face of Deblois, when the latter
seized butchers knife and plunged it up to
the hilt into Tewell's abdomen, causing his
death on the succeeding day. Intemperance
is stated as the cause. Deblois is now in
prison.

Henry Clay.-We cannot doubt, drawing
our differences from the Developments of
public opinion making in various parts of
the Union, that the distinguished individual
whose name is ut the head of this article, is
the one upon whom that opinion will finally
concentrate as the Wing candidate for the
next Presidency, to the exclusion of all 9TH

Education of Femazes.-There is a season
when the youthful must cease to be young
and the beautiful to excite admiration. To
learn how to grow old gracefully is perhaps
one of the rarest and most valuable arts that
can be taught to woman ; and it must be a
most severe trialior those women TO lay down
beauty who have nothing else to take up. II
is for this sober season of life that education
should lay up its rich resources. However
disregarded they may have been, they will
be wanted now When admirers fall away
and fiatterers become mute, the mind will be
driven to retire into itself, and if il find no
entertainments Mt home it will be driven back
again upon the world with increased force.
Yet forgetting this, do we not seem to educate
our daughters exclusively for the transient
period ofyouth? Do we not educate them for
the world, and not for themselves for show,
and not for use for time and not for etcrni-
