Riot at .Neo Orlenns-A serious riot occurred at
New Orleans on the 20h ult. in consequence of the
depreciation of the Municipality notes. of which large
amounts in the hands of the poorer class of peo
pie. An assault made on four or five Brokers'
establishments, and one firm lost $4,000. The po-
lice nterfered vigorously and about dozen of the
ringleaders were arrested. 1t was rumored that an
attempt would be made to liberate the rioters from
Jail and the Governor had ordered out the military for
its protection. All was quiet when the mail closed.
Specie payments have been resumed at New Or
leans by all the banks. The resumption leaves the
public encountered with mass of deprecated I'M
notes issued by the three Municipalities in the
time of the suspension, to for currency in lieu
of specie change. These notes are at discount of
II to 25 per cent. No means provided for their
redemption except that they receivable for taxes

of the 9th May says:-
"From all we can learn through the agents of the
Texan government here, venture to predict
that in less than forty days shall receive news of
the most important character in reference to Texas
and Mexico. Our readers may note this. We are
no prophets but still think from all we have seen
and heard that Gen. Houston knows what he is about,
and ere long we shall hear Of great achievements
beyond the Rio, made by the Texas army"

Hon. r, F. MARSHALL, Of Kentucky.

Perhaps no recent occurrence Of private ma
ture has excited more surpriseand regret than the
late unjustifable and unlawful act of Mr. Mar
shall 1t is our business to notice it because we
ourselves have alluded to him, in our columns in
connexon with the progress of temperance; and,
also because the conductors of the Temperance
press generally have hailed him,-with good
reason, as it seemed at the time,-asa Distinguish
cd and eloquent advocate of their cause 1.-THE
advocates ofthe bottle should be disposed to select
this as an instance to be used to the disparage-
ment of Temperance, we wish for no better an
ever than the one given in the last No. of the
Journal of the Amer Temp Union; the sub
stance ofwhich IS, that cold qcgtsr Us VIGOROUSLY

that in which Nj NJ was, tinhappily Engaged ;
but that alcohol although we nave no knowledge
that it was so in the present instance,) not unfre
quently is. 1t might be added that so true is the
fact on which this answer is based that, probably
a large number ofthe drinking part of commun-
ty are anticipating triumph in this gentleman's
return to his former habits and a large number
Of the opposite part are somewhat painfully pre-
pared TO learn that in this matter, the former are
TO be gratifieds Let us hope that the triumph Of
the one and the forebodings of the other may be
met and disappointed by heartfelt remuneration,

What were Mr. MarshalPs motives in taking
the prominent position in respect to temperance,
that he did 2-is question we have heard put
For ourselves, we wish TO attribute the best mo-
tives the case admits Of We presume that hav-
ing felt himselfdelivered from an enhralling vice,
he really desired to commend his freedom to 9th
crs, for their benefit and imitation but that his
personal bravery, so valued by Kentuckian al
though it enabled him TO faccthe sneers of wrong
headed men, in respect to the one topic of TEN
perance, had not become sufficiently invgorated
to endure the scorn of the unprincipled which
would ensue upon his breaking away from false
code ofhonor. A lamentable inconsistency; but
one not unparalleled in the history of human i'm
bccility.
But whatever may have been the motives ofthi,

pericnce is TO be- no inconsistency, past or to come
can abatc the lustre of those principles of which

6 Can She Spin 7o

This question was a1ed by King James l. when
a young girl was presented to him, and the per-
son who introduced her, boosted of her proficiency
in the ancient languages.
81 can assure your majesty" said he, that she
can both speak and write Latin, Greek, and He
brew"
=" "These are rare attainments for damsel" said
James, "but pray tell me, can she spin ?"
Many Of the Young ladies of the present day
can boast of their skill in the fine arts polite ac-
complishments in music, painting, dancing, but
can they spin? or what is perhaps more appropri-
ate to the times, and the modern improvements in
labor-saving machinery, it may be asked, can they
perform the domestic duties of a wife, Do they
understand the management ofhousehold affairs2
Are they capable Experimenting, in judicous
prudent, and economical manner, the concerns of
family2
A young lady may be learned in the ancient
and modern languages, may have made exraor-
binary proficiency in every branch of literature
this is all very WE'LL and very credible; and to a
certain class ofthe community, who are not obi
ged, as was St Paul, {" to labor with their own
hands, is all that is absolutely requisite but to a
much larger portion Of the community it is of far
greater consequence TO know whether they can
spin
1t is OF more importance TO young mechanic,
or merchant, or one of any other class of people
who depend upon their own industry and exertions,
if he marries wife, to have one who knows how
to spin perform other domestic duties, than one
whose knowledge docs not extend beyond great
proficiency in literature and the fine arts.
1t has been often said that the times are strange
ly altered and certain it is that the people are.
1t was once thought honorable to be constantly
employed in some useful avocation; but nova
days it is thought more honorable to be idle. Peo-
pie complain of the high prices ofall the
ries of life and with much truth But if the
amount ofidleness could be calculated accurately
throughout community, allowing the drones half
price for the services which they might perform,
and which others are paid for, it might be safe
calculation to estimate it equal TO all that is ex-
pended for provision and marketing in the United
States So it is not little inconsistent TO hear
parents complain about the price of provisions,
while they bring up their daughters to walk the
streets and expend money
Let the fair daughters of our country initiate
the industrious matrons of the past. The COM
panions Ofthose who foughtin the revolution were

The Central Committee of the State Society
have felt strongly as the public are aware, the
indispensable value of the press TO the Temper.
ance cause. The subject has, more than once,
occupied their deliberations; and we PROPOSE in
consequence, to notice briefly each Temperance
paper ofthe State, with view TO lend to each ev-
cry encouragement which comes within our pro-
vince and is at our command. First, we notice
the " Reformed Drunkard" This is published
semimonthly at Montpelier, by Mr.. F. A. Nc
Dowcll, it is conducted with talent, and, as its
name implies, with reference to the interests and
feelings ofthat numerous body which has so sud-
denly assumed and an elevated rank in society," the
reformed nebrates. 1t boldly, and we think, just
w. advocates the maintenance of their peculiar ac-
ton, as distant body, and by their own distinc-
tive organizations 1t abounds with sprightly ar
ticlCs and communications with amusing and aG
fective narratives and with valuable information
and statistics Although the publication has pro-
fessedy peculiar adaptation to specific class, it
may be perused with not the less advantage and
interest by the friends of Temperance in general.
The Committee do not profess to have examined,
thoroughly, every number of this publication, nor
10 endorse every article, but its general tenor and
spirit entitle it. in their opinion, to be considered
valuable auxiliary and co-worker in the grand
cause They cheerfully recommend it to the sup
port of all with whom their recommendation may
have influence.

Samson, the Headsman.

ecutoner, who certainly had some claim to be re-
garded as a hero is translated from the Cash

lures of life
Have you read the French papers2 Do you
know who is dead Let me enlghten you

man ofthe department of the Seine Methinks
see you turn up your nose and wonder of what
consequence whether there is one executoner
more or less in the world But this Henri San
son, my Indifferent reader, was no ordinary de-
spatcher of low assassins, incendaries and such
rabble; He was the Headsman par excellence,
the Nemesis of the French nation, the last act of
the bloodysdrama of the year 1889. In him has
a portion of Frances blood-inscribed story sunk
to the grave; for he was, during the first revolu-
ton, the Executor des hautes Guvres,' through
whose hands passed the heads of nearly all those
who, at that period, persisted by the guillotine in
the Place of Concord. Henri Samson was atthat
time an active young man of twenty years, at
tached 10 no party, and he struck off today the
head of an ardent royalist with the same compo-
sure as he would the next day that of suspected
republican. History can tell of no second execu-
toner who has separated from their shoulders so

This word admits of very peculiar
signifcaiions under peculiar circumstances,
as was insIanced in debate upon the re char
ter OF Bucks County Bank last Friday in the
House of Representatives. One clause
restricted its discount TO sthe amount of
specie in lis vaults or an equivdlen!' Mr..
Stevens did not understand the term, and
said he would like to know what specific
construction was Intended. IN the Tow
anda and Serks County Banks continued
Mr.. s. the notes OF the Director were
considered an equivalent--in some sections
of the State pork is considered an equiya
lent, and in others hoop poles and shin gles;
and 1t would be satisfactory to the people 10
know the real specie basis of the Banks
capital-for if it ware either, the director
notes, psrk, hoop poles or shingles, he
should vote agains;lhe bill. Notwithstanding
the lTughter which followed, the truth of the
remark proved some what effective. The
action to ranscrbe for !hird reading was
voted down.--ifashing gtoaiaa.
