The Age says there are tive very dis
tinct classes in society in England; the no
bility and ability.
Advantages of Poverty in Early Life
An English Judge being asked what con-
tributed most to success at the bar replied,
-"5ome succeed by great talents some
by high connections, some by miracle,
but majority by commencing with shil-
ling.
JOY of heart, from whatever occasion il
may arise, is the best of all nervous medi-
cines.
Wonderful if true.-A Lonlon paper
says that an ivory turner in that city has
just made his fortune in very singular
manner. In saving in the tooth of an ell
ephant, he found in the centre oft large
diamond, for which no has already been
offered fl3,000 lover $50, 000)
Breach of Promise "A fine spirited girl
10 Ohio, named Washburn, recovered $l,-
l45 against one Master Wells, for breach
of promise. The verdict satisfied, her.
She, however, scorned to take any of his
money, and only required him to pay the
costs of Court.
Rather Soft. Epigram on young la
ly who said she read Waverly, "skipping
the Scotch"
Oh soft is the sleep of zephyr on roses,
And soft is the blue bell that hangs on the wall,
And soft is the down that ether rposes,

A man without money and heart full
ofphlanthropy whose coat is title thread
bare is Stunned like thief d man with
a pocket full of money, and heart full of
vilany, is courted for his virtues |! There
is magic in wealth. Daily Reg.
PENSACOLA MONEY io quoted at 90 per
cent. discount in New Orleans. In Mobile
they advertise to take it at par. Fine
times for money changers here. What a
splendid humbug this world is! Whoever
works for living is fool. Half his ear
nings are stolen from him by legerdemain,
and sometimes the other half, too. Odds
bodkins! but we have mind to turn
scoundrel. Banks and brokers are the
things. Plundering the public is the or
der of the day.-N. o. San.
AN Heroic AMERTcAN.-Major John M.
Allen, lately chosen Mayor of Galveston,
Texas, was formerly midshpman ofthe
U. s. Navy-went early to Greece, and
was with Lord Byron at Missilonghi and
in the battle of Navarino, with Admiral
Codrington. Afterwards he raised COM
pany at New Orleans, and fought under
Gen. Houston, at San Jacntoj then fitted
schooner with forty men and cruised sue
cessfully against the Mexicans: His me-
moirs would be worth readihgs-Nep York

"PrepdriRg to resume but not reSUming."
The Grand Gulf Rail Road and Bank
ing Company has rescinded the resolution
passed last summer, authorizing the re-
demption of all the notes of that bank,
taken in at the post office at Grand Gulf,
in species alleging as a reason for this
course, that all the other banks in the
the State have resumed, and that the peo-
pie can now easily obtain the requisite a.
mount of specie for postages.-- VicksbQrg

SIR HENRY GRATfAN.-We ledrii from
the Picayune that Colborn, the publisher,
has given one thousand guineas for the
correspondence of the distinguished Irish
orator, statesman and patriot.-ib.
MONETARY AFFArRs.---We. find by
the papers that our city is not the only
one that has suffered from the unpar-
donable speculation of Bank Direct
ors. The Chicago branch of the lii
nois Bank has entered into pork specu-
lations to such an extent as to monopo-
lie the market at its own price, and at
the same time it is withholding all ac-
commodation from the mel chants. The
Wisconsin Bank has pursued like
course in regard to lead, and created
considerable excitement throughout
the Territory. On that account, the
sooner such course is, put down the
better for the community at large; and
the only way to do so is by the express
sion Of public opinion.----Cincinnati

Effects Of the Fifteen Gallon LaW.--It is
