has been blown off in it, and you observe HIM
staring with look as innocent as lamb, land
as cool and unmoved as the peak of Tenerifie.

a taunt or reply to some of his assailants,

| need not tell you who that man is; there
is but one John Quincy Adams in the world,
and no human being would be mistaken for
him, or he for any other man. He is indeed
a wonderful man-the first in his seat, the last
to leave it; no call of the House ever finds him
gone home to get his dinner" With such
steady and constant attendance at the house,
and taking so large a share in its attendance
at the House, and taking so large a share IN
its business, one is at a loss TO know when he
finds time to perform the immense labor he
does with his pen, and Il palsied hand. But
that he does perform it we know, for the evil
dences of it are daily before us. Certainly he
can never sleep, and never weary, and he who
expects to encounter him in a conflict, must
rise as early, and be as wide awake as he, or
he will be sure to come off ''second best" as
every man who has ever had the temerity to
gapple with him has had good reason to

JOHN WHITE,

A lady arrived in Exeter last Monday week
bringing female servant with her. On the
day after her arrival, the latter broke looking
glass. She became drcadfu,iy alarmed at the
trihing circumstance, covered over the glass
with a pocket handkerchief, and turned 1t TO
the wall, that she might not see it. She ex-
pressed her conviction that it BODIED life of
misfortune, and could not dismiss the subject
from her mind She said she should never
prosper in the world again. Haunted oy this
idea, she became sad and detected, and went
10 bed on Wednesday, two days after the ac-
cident, poorly ard miserable, retiring earlier
than usual on account of her illness. Ths
next day she was worse, and her mistress de-
sired her not to get up. On Friday one of the
medical gentlemen of the place was called
in. He found her free from bodily pain, but
suffering under perfect prostration of streugth
and spirits. She continued 10 sink till twelve
O'Clock the next day, when she expired, a vic.

RECIPRoCIrY IN TRADE.-The investIga-
lions of the Committee on Manufactures IN the
House of Representatives, show the important
fact that if there was any thing like reciproci-
ty in our trade with sixteen countries of Eu-
rope, they would consume annually 100000
hoosheads of American tobacco, worth before
shipment about S30,O00.000. But so enor-
nous are the duties imposed on this product OF
American industry, that less than 10000 hogs
heads are taken and upon this amount which
costs in the United States less than S7,OOO,-
900. n revenue is charged and exactcd in Eu-
rope of over thirty fUe millions OF dollars
This is the kind of free trade which the
wisdom of Loco Focoism has conferred upon
the productive industry Of the United States
and il is to recjprocdte such lavors that theen-
emies of American laboring men oppose
Protective tariff. We call the opponents of
the policy which secures preference for the
labor of American citizens over that of foreign
ers. the enemies of American laboring men,
and the friends of their competitors in Europe
Ara thew not sucLl Most certainly they
arc.
We could forgive this deadly hostility 10 the

or labor in American workshops. if the sin
we're not committed against both hight and
knowledge. Ii would be easy to Gil our entire
sheet with evidences, ell going TO prove that
the offence cannot be paliltcd on the score OF
ignorance. Our foreign ministers have for
wears been admonishing our rulers after the
following fashion.
In despatch of General Cass 10 our gov
ernmen,, Feb. ID, 1910, ii is said:
.We have no reason 10 expect any favorable
change in. the system Of tobacco admlniStra-
ton in France, by which our tobacco can be
admitted upon any thing like principle OF
reciprocity, unless we are prepared to change
our mode of applications: and to enforce, by
our own laws. that equality of which We arc
derived have eideavored to give gencr-
al view of the commercial relations existing
between Franco End the United States, and to
point on, the Inequality which exists--an ine-
quality resulting from the laws of France, and
which is so great, that our expectations to
that country do not exceed one holt OF our I'M
por,ations, and the balance must be RENTED
in specie
Again: sTho history Of modern trade scarce
" exhibits an instance Of greater Inequality
than the commercial intercourse which now
exists between the United States and France
