AN AMERICAN FOLLY.

We have seen it frequently stated in para
graphs and in books that the Americans in Eu-
rope are noted for extravaganza in dress, under
pretenslOns of love of show. If this be true
1t indicates a most ridiculous vanity, to say
nothing of very bad taste The Paris cores
pendent of the National IntelIigencer in re-
cent letter says, that at late presentation of
some Americans at the French Court, one of
them reminded his Majesty that he was an
acquaintance, and the King remarked with a
sly expression of his face,-"Why, yes, did
not know you at first, dressed up so; but
shall always be glad tosee you in any costume"
Mr.. WALSH goes on to say that he has held oil
late conversations with a very intelligent
American traveller, who has survey ed, within
inc three years past nearly all the communi-
ties of Germany, and who testifeS that, in
general, there is considerably less of luxury
and show, pretention and style, than our
United States, Atlantic and Western alike.
There is unquestionably great room for I'M
provement, at home, in these particulars. To
say that our habits of living and dressing are
extravagantly expensive would be nothing to
the purpose with many-because it is for that
very reason that they indulge in them, or seek
to do So 1t seems TO be regarded as the high
est point of social rank to be able to spend
money profusely. OF course it will be done
by those who can afford it. Can good taste,
true refinement, fitness and propriety, do no.
thing in the way of establishing a better STAN
dard? Simplicity, the most charming of gra-
| ceS, in her union with elegance requires no
lavish adornmentS, no gaudy decorations. 1t
| is a vulgar ambition that aims at splendor
which indicates nothing but an unmeaning
glare, or mere show to strike the eye.

Something Of a Miracle.-On Wednesday
the 9th ult. says the Covington, (Ky.) Regis
ter, as little boy of Patrick CAROLS about
six years of age, was leaning over the well
curb on Scott street, below the Bank, deaf
and dumb lad, of a Mr.. Swords, caught him
by the feet and sent him head foremost down
the well, at the same time girl was in the act
of drawing water, and had got the bucket
more than half way up: the little boy in his
decent must have struck the bucket with his
head, which turned him over SO that he went
down from thence feet foremost. The well is
seventy-five feet deep, with about nine feet
water In IT. What is somewhat remarkable
the little fellow was not even stunned by COM
ing in contact with the bucket although his
head is badly cut. AS he rose to the top of
the water, he chung TO the stone wall, but be-
ing slippery, he says he fell in again, and as
he come up second time, got a better hold
and hung on. The alarm being given to the
father he FASTENED to the spot, was immedi-
ately let down in the bucket, and grasping his
little boy in his arms, both were drawn up in
safety, and the child placed in the hands OF a
| physician, who, after dressing his wounds,
pronounced him not dangerously hurt. On
Thursday afternoon, we called in to see the
little patient, found him about the room, cheer
full. and playing marbles.-Ndtchez Courier.

Our New Orleans exchanges, and indeed
the whole of our southern list, having failed
to reach us in due time for this weeks paper,
we are deprived of presenting any thing worth
note from this quarter of the Globe. Our
readers, we have little doubt, have been look
ing with great intensity of interest to this sub
ject, and we feel disappointed, as we'll as
themselves, in being thus deprived of the
privilege of laying such as has transpired be-
fore them. We however, anticipate, and
seem inclined to think ourselves correct, that
the two belligerent armies, the Mexicans and
Texans, have met and had a general engage
ment, and that the latter have been successful
in such struggle. They are contending for
their liberties-the freedom of their soil; and
never will they yield foot of that fertile re-
gion, so long as one of their brave and chival-
rous sons are left to battle against their ene-
mics, the blackhearted and treacherous Mex
cans. Brave, bellipotent, and sanguine of tri.
umphs, the day is not far distant, when the
banner of this little Republic, with its clone
star and stripe," shall be waited by the breeze
that sweeps over the topmast pinnacle of the
Capitol of the Mexican Government. Stran.
ger prophecies than that made by Houston
have, in the course of events, been fulfilled
and who can doubt the determined zeal of the
Hero of San Jacinto, and that he was made
to "revel in the halls of the Montezumas." .
With "heartS resolved, and hands to try" we
need not be surprised to witness the truth o.
this prediction.

MR.. SIMMONS AND MR.. CALHOUN.

We copy the annexed amusing description
from the Washington correspondence of the
New York Express. The writer after speak
ing of the speech of Mr. Simmons, OF Rhode
Island, upon Mr.. CIay's tariff resolution, says:
"Mr Calhoun was made TO vince many
times, during this short speech; and once the
Senator from South Carolina shot his granny
so effectuaIly, that did not expect he would
have opened his month again for twelve
month.
He was arraigned upon the subject of the
compromise act, and told by the Senator from
Rhode Island not only that he voted for the
bill, which every body knew, but for the most
important provision of the bill.
Never 'neUer,' NEVER said Mr.. Calhoun.
The Senator from South Carolina certainly
did, responded Mr.. Simmons, Il have seen the
recordp
Never 'neUer,' returned Mr.. Calhoun. d
believed the provision unconstitutional
'WeI' said Mr.. Simmons, j will not mis-
represent the Senator. Let us see the record
Mr.. Calhoun-'B Bring it, Mr.. Secretary
Mr.. Secretary vanished from the chamber
like locomotive over a railroad track, and
Mr.. Calhoun in close pursuit at his heels.
Mr.. Simmons continued: while the gen.
tleman is hunting up authority, will continue
my Speech Mr.. S. went on for ten minutes,
when in popped Mr.. Calhoun at the entry
door, and fresh from the Secretary's office,
with bell, book, and candle, as he thought; at
any rate with book open and the page turned.
Mr.. Simmons was interrupted in u hurry to
make the explanation, and Mr.. Calhoun
was up in hurry. He commenced reading
when, 10 and behold, Mr.. Simmons was right
and Mr.. Calhoun wrong He had forgotten
his own unconstitutional vote, and read the
evidence of his own shame to the Senate.

Slarery in Emgland.-I well know the
dreadful meaning of the words, but would
sooner see the children of my love, borne to
the heritage of southern slavery, than to see
them subjected to the hlighted bondage of the
poor English operatives life. England is a
proud and mighty nation. In her Unsuitable
love of gain and boundless ambition for con-
quest; in her unjust treatment of her colonies
and foreign nations; and, above all in her op-
preston of her own poor but generous people,
she is without parallel in ancient or modern
times. England has laid up for herself sure
store of vengeance; and God will visit her for
her pride and wrong doing.-Glory and
Shame Of England.

An amorous youth named Henry Fisher,
who it appears, had unsuccessfuy paid his ad-
dress to young lady named Ann Kerwig,
who figures as musician at Palmo's, took his
station beside the young lady on Tuesday eve
ning and vowed most vehemently that if she
any longer rejected his address, he was deter
mined to soften her hard heart by driving a
bullet through ii; aud, in order to show that he
was in earnest, he took out pistol and poin-
ted the muzzIe of it to her bosom. Miss Kerr
wig, however, being very 10th to be wooed
and won after SO strange fashion, screamed
out most vigorously, and officer Walsh, who
was within hearing, rushed to the spot and
seized hold of him, and disarmed him, and
brought him to the police office. In vain did
poor Mr., Fisher allege that the cruelty of his
mistress had driven him to desperation, and
that he had only intended to frighten her into
loving HIM; that such mode of making love
was clearly contrary to the statute, and that
ne must find good bail not to perforate the
heart either of Miss Kerwig or any other
person tor twelve months to come, or in de.
fault thereof be shut up in prison.-Ledger.
