ELEcTroNEERINe PrcTUREs.-Wecli clip the
following from the "Advocate,' published
at New Philadelphia. 1t is applicable 70
the Vanites in every State of the Union, and
is perfect "picture" of the way they rea-
son with the rank and file men Of the "par-
ty." They reason with pictures because
they cannot put good countenance upon
rprinciples and practices by using sound
arguments.-Belmont tO.) Chron.
Did you ever see an electioneering pic
ture," said leading Vanite to Whig.-
"No, didn't" "Look here them" at the
same time showing HIM Cadiz Vanocrutic
sheet, with large picture of an eagle, on
which was placed "Bank Reform" "fnish
the work." and other catch words. 'Pshaw,
said the Whig--"the people will take that
as nonsense"-" you're mistaken" says the
Vanocrat-" that's the way we reason with
our folks" "They will be more tickled with
that picture than with the best of arguments,
Big pictures are before sound principles in
electioneering." "Well," says the Wing,
if that be the case, your pictures and youl
principles are about one and the same--all a
sham." The leader of the faithful grinned
and poked his paper into his pocket.

WINTER IN RUSSIA. lin Russia the wea.
ther is very cold during the winter. Al
Petersburg, persons in tho open airfrequent-
ly perish by the severity of the climate
1t is not uncommon to hear two people con.
versng in the following manner, on meet
ing in the street: al beg leave to acquarnt
you that your nose is freezing" to which
the other probably answers, "I was just 60
ing to observe to you that yours is already
frozen."
On such occasions, both the sufferers
stop, and rub each others nose, either with
piece of fl mel or with handful of snow,
in order to restore the circulation of the
blood. After this service mutually render
ed, the parties separate with the usual CO.
remonial bows and salutations.
One day, an Italian arriving at Peters
burg for the first time in the month of De-
cember. He not walked short distance
from the house before his nose became COM
pletely frozen. A good natured peasant
soeing his mishap, took upa handful Of
snow, and without even saying "by your
leave" instantly commenced rubbing the
strangers nose IN the most liberal manner.
The Italian, far from being grateful Tor
the peasants application, mistook his hu-
name but somewhat blunt procedure for an
insult and began to beat him severely. A
crowd soon collected round them, and at
last the Italian was made to understand the
motive of the PEASANTS operations.
The Italian now lamented his hasty seve-
rlty, and giving the poor nose rubber some
money, they were soon good friends. The
Italian was rejoiced at the preservation of
his hoso, the loss which would have sub
jected him to some inconvenience. He re-
treated homewards, holding that organ fast
with his hand, and resolved never TO expose
it to similar danger. The peasant well
repaid for his timely application as well as
for the beating which he received in cohse-
quence.

The editors of Ohio held convention

with view of creating a more fraternal teel-
ing and polite and gentlemanly bearing
among the corps; however they never ran
really a-mack of one another till now. One
of them calls another the "Senior editor of
the Stubanvile mud machine" The afore-
said editor retorted by saying that the other
need not fret himself, as he does not intend
operating on him, as he's so filthy that mud
wouldn't faze him; on the contrary, he
thinks little soft soap, if applied soon,
would materially benefit him and the cause
which he advocates. Again one of them
accuses the other of borrowing dollar to
pay for his " chicken fixen's," at time when
he was shook for change. The other retorts
by saying that the dollar, instead of being
of the hard currency was bank rag, and
like the owner, somewhat tore. That iG
what we call hard biting on both sldes.--

DEpARruRE OF TIE CoNyIcTs.-Yestel

DEPARTURE OF THE CoNvIcrs.- Yester-
day morning early, IL male and female con-
yicts, who received their sentences the pre-
sent week and before, left the city prison
under charge of Capt. Knapp and Mr.. De-
putty Keeper Stewart, for their state prison
home at Sing Sing, there to drag out MI
serable existence. Among the number who
thus went, was Smith Davis, convicted of
forgery, in putting into circulation an i'm
mense quantity of counterfeit money, which
business he has practiced with great success
for the last ls or Is years. Davis was
man ofgenteel appearance and address, and
pleasing and prepossessing manners, and
had an amahle wife and fine family of six
interesting children who had been well ta-
ken care of and educated, as far as their
tender minds were susceptible ofliterary in
struction. This care and attention he had
been enabled to bestow, out of the large
profits accruing from his nefarious trade.
On Tuesday afternoon the wife and child
rem Of Davis were admitted into his cell, to
take final, perhaps, an eternal farewell of
their husband and father. The scene was
one of the most painful and affecting that
can well be imagined. The wife and child
rem of the convict hung upon his neck, and
poured out their sighs and tears, and groans
in his bosom, which mingled, perhaps for
the last time, with the burning drops of a
father and husband, which he shed. For a
while the whole group were incapable ofut-
terance-grief and overwhelming emotion
checked the power ofspeech. After time,
when affection had fed itself with conjugsl
and paternal endearments, and grief had
emptied its fountains Of tears, the wife and
children, with screams and convusive sobs,
departed, and left the convict to his fate.
Yesterday morning early, one Of the pri-
soner's children, impelled by affection for
its father, pressed its way into prison again,
and took another painful and affectionate
adieu of its father. He wept until his face
and bosom were wet with tears, and finally
took the parting hand Of the child, and with
his irons on followed his conductors to the
boat which was to convey him and his COM
panions in crime to living death. Such is
the unhappy fate of the criminal. He sun
ders all the sweetest and dearest ties of life
for the glittering bauble gain, and consigns
himself to an ignominous prison, secluded
from wife, children and friends a wretched
outcast from the world. Let this serve to
teach others,who are now running career
of crime, to pause in their cruel course be-
fore it is too late.-.N. Y. San.

ANTIQUITY OF SMoKINe.-Small tobacco
pipes Of an uncientform are frequently found
IN Ireland, on digging or ploughing up tho
ground, particularly in the vicinity of those
circular entrenchments called Danish forts,
which were most probably the villages or
settlements Of the native Irish. In the first
volume of the Anthologia Hibsrnica,' there
is print of one which was found at Bann-
ockstown, county Kildare, sticking between
he teeth of human skull; and it is accom-
panied by paper, which on the authority
ofHerodotus, Strabo, Pomponius, Mela and
SoIinus, goes to prove that the northern ma
tons Of Europe were acquaintedwitht tobac-
co, or an herb Of similar properties, and that
they smoked it through small tubes--of
course long before the existence of Amer
lea was known.
The arguments in favor of the antiquity
OF smoking receive additional support from
the discovery Of several snail clay pipes in
the hull of ship found some years since
when excayatlng new sluCe-way, at tho
upper end of the Fairwuter, at Dantzig.-
The ship was discovered buried in the
ground, at the depth of about 90 feet. A
box of tobacco pipes was found all whole,
with heads about the size of thimble, and
tubes from 4 to inches In length. 1t is
supposed the vessel mad been lost in somo
convulsion of nature previous to the founda-
ton of the city, which haG been built over
the spot, at least, five hundred years since,
