THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY

As much interest is felt by the nation in regard to
every thing connected with the President and his
family, we deem not imprope. to remark that, the
household of the Chief Magistrate present. consists
of himself and his two sons, Mrs Tyler the daughter
in law Of the President and her sister, Miss Cooper
The people ofthe United States have been more
ably represented in social life by any Chief Magis-
trate and his family than by the present inmates Of
the White House.
The ease and unaffected kindness and simplicity OF
manner, with which the President receives all who
visit him, Inark him true Republican gentleman
while all who meet with his intelligent and gentleman
y sons, and the accomplished ladies of the family
welcomed with equal Kindness and civity. We have
in common with every one who has called upon him
been particularly pleased by the peculiar tact and kind
Of heart which the President has evinced in pa-
cling ALL and every one of the numerous individuals
who visit him every morning during the hour apart
for receiving the visits of the public perfectly at
ease, and at the same time giving respectful and patti
ent attention to the wants and wishes Of all classes

GEN, HARRISoN'S AIDS.

A few days ago in noticing the presence at
Gen. Harrisons death bed Of Col. Chambers
and Col. Todd, we spoke ofthem as the ''chosen
aids of the Commander in-chief at the battle Of
the Thames friend at distance thinks
the mode of expression calculated TO authorize
an inference that Col O'Fallon, and Col John
Speed Smith were not considered "chosenaids.' y
To authorize such an inference was far from our
intention. We were well aware that Col.
O'Fallon and Col. Smith both shared the conf
dence Of Gen Harrison as well as the dangers
to which he was exposed during the compaign
Of 1912.
AT the battle of the Thames COL Todd and
Col. O'Fallon were the regular aids, and Col
Smith, and COL Chambers the volunteer aids Of
the Commander-in-chief. COL O'Fallon and
Col. Smith are both living, the former in Mis-
sour, the latter in Kentucky, and are esteemed
for their talents, integrity and patriotism. No
men have felt more poignant grief than they at
the unexpected departure Of their beloved Gen
eral.

IMPROVEMENTS IN FIRE ARMS,

We observe, in a late English paper, notice Of a
improvement in fire arms, which has for its object
to increase the rapidny Of discharges. The descrip
ton is not perfectly ineligible TO us but it is suiii
GENTLY to induce the belief that it cannot be
pared with the beautiful invention Of our citizen, Colt,
for the same purpose
We have often examined the improvements made
by Mr. Colt since the first introduction of his weapon
some five years ago, and have been well satisfied both
from our own observation and the opinions of military
and naval gentlemen that it is the perfect and
deadly weapon Of the kind in existence.
We happened accidentally to be present some weeks
ago, in company with Col. Chambers, when several
bullets thrown from of the small pistols by
the explosion Of the cap, ,rihiout particle Of
poirder, with such force to sink them more than
one-thiId their diameter in the door of the ROOM
some twelve feet distance. The rapidity with which
these pistols rifles and carbines are discharged is
Notwithstanding almost continuous stream of
balls with tremendous force.

The British have taken possession OF the Islands OF
New Zealand, and established Colonial Government
there
Their mode of proceeding has been thus: few
emigrants were first sent out, who established them
selves on the Coast. Soon little plantation form
ed-next Consul was sent out and after awhile, un-
der the pretext of the barbarity Of the inhabitants
The total want Of law and Of protection to the Emf
grants, the Islands formally taken possession Of
a Governor Hobson Jobson sent out, and the Brit
ish Flag hoisted to astonsh the natives. We have
just newspaper published at the Town of Koro
Rarka, named after the distinguished chieftan men
toned in the coupet above, we suppose, and called
the New Zealand Advertiser" We subjoin an ar

1t gracious indeed for the Globe TO vapour about
national honor and about sustaining the respect of the
nations of Europe when its for years past has
been endeavor to bring contempt upon all insti
tutions and upon every Of character connected
with this Government and particularly upon late
venerable and beloved President How precisely the
following gentiemaniy and decent language of Mr..
OConnel from the English papers, accords with the
slang Of the Globe and its tribe Of fellow bandu:
"Mr. O'Connell continued He said he had read the
message Of President Harrison, and he conceived,
that trashy nonsensca production was never
prnncd. The old cider-drnking General spoke OF
the danger of democracal agitation, after having been
raised TO his present dignity by fierce dcmocraii-
cal struggle ever took place. but II was often the
case that man kicked down the ladder that helped
him to the sought-tor eminence. In the event Eng
land being engaged in war; she would call upon the
Irish for assistance and that they would do bound
by law"
Nobody cares a fig for the silly raving Of o Council
or of the Globe, upon any subject, but we think we
know some hundreds of generous, patriotic, and
warmheartcd lishmcn, in this country, who would
not permit MIR. OConnell any other person, to
use such language in their hearing in regard to aman
whom every one, who knew him, loved and re-
spected
Choice companions, thcse--thc editor the Globe
and O'Connell-.fratres ambo. We only hope that
they will keep clear Of ncghbors hen roos,s when
they commence prowng in company

We take great pleasure in calling the attention OF
the citizens and others, at present in Washington, to
Editorial brother and personal acquaintance, Mr..
Backus editor and publisher ofthc "Canajohare Rad'
who is present in this city business and will be
happy to receive the subscriptions Of citizens to
his interesting paper.
Mr.. Backus is a deaf and dumb gentleman is well
educated and very intelligent and agreeable More
over he, months since, suffered the loss Of
all his printing Office by fire. By the benevolence Of
the citizens of the North and East nearly the amount
of his loss has been made up him. and he wishes
to add few more names to his list. He has wife
and child, both deaf mutes dependant upon him for
support.
Mr. B. called day two since to pay his respects
to the President and to receive his to his list
We were much amused and gratifed by the warm
and expressions Of satisfaction and pleasure of
the young when he had taken leave of the Presi-
dent We are sure that no words will be necessary
from TO induce those who meet with this mertorious
and unfortunate gentleman to aid him in his laudabe
undertaking.
The paper is neutral in politics, but Mr.. B. tells us
that he is " first rate Wing, and always votes cor
rectly"
We shall be happy to receive any subscriptions for
him that it may be deemed proper to leave at this
office.

MAIL CoNTaAcrs-We learn from Washington,
that the Postmaster General has made his contracts for
transporting the mail twenty per cent less,
age, than they have been made at any time within the
last ~ ycars.-N. Y Herald
We have to doubt this, judging from tho
rate at which contracts have recently been made to
carry the mail from Portsmouth to Bangor which we
understood to be at less than ha!f what has been
paid for many years past.-kennebee Journal.
Nearly all the contracts for carrying the mail that
have yet been closed have been at much cheaper rate
than heretofore.
