United STATES SENATOR

The Hon. David II. Atcbisop of Platte county
we understand, has been appointed by the Governor
to fiji the vacancy in the United States Senate caused
by the death of the lamenicd Linn. 1t is good APP
pontment, aud we have doubt will be unanimous
ly sanctioned by the next Legislature. The Judge
unlike Col Benton, in favor dstricling the State
for the election of members Of Congress; is true
and liberal Democrat; and with all is of good
attachments and fine talents We have heard ipti-
mated that he was recommended to the Governor by
Colonel Benton, as suitable man to be his colleagues
IL so, the Colonel is deceived for the Judge is a
johnson man. goes for the district system, and against
the prescription of any portion of the Democratic
party, which IS more than we say of Col. Benton
at the present writing.

SIX REASONS
FOR PLANTING AN ORCHARD.
BY EDISON HARENLss

/. Would you leave inheritance 10 your chill
dren Plant orchard No other investment of
money and labor will, in the long rum pay well.
2 Would you make home pleasant--tbe abode of
the social virtuesI Plant orchard. Nothing bet
ter promotes among neigbbors feeling of kindness
and good will, than treat of good fruit often re-
peated
3. Would you remove from your children the
strongest temptation TO s,eal Plant an orchard If
children cannot obtain fruit at home, they are very
apt to steal it and when they have learned to steal
fruit they in fair way TO learn steal horses
a. Would you cultivate constant feeling Of thank
funess towards the great giver Of all goodi Plant
orchard BY having constantly before you one of
ibe greatest blessings given to man. you must be
hardened indeed If you not Influenced by spirit
of humility and thspkfulness.
5. Would your have your children love their
homes, respect their parents while living, and vene
rate their memory when dead--in all their wander
ings look hack upon the home of their youth as sa-
cred spot--an oasis IN the great wilderness of the
world i-then plant orchard
6. In short, if you wish to avail yourself of the
blessings of bountiu Providence, which are with
IN your reach, you must plant orchard And
when you do it, see that you plant good fruit Don't
plant crsb-appe trees, nor wild piums, Indian
peaches. The best the cheapest.

it would not go for Mr. Clay , and expresses
the hope that MI. Tyler win no longer hesitate
after these vindictve attacks, and says,
"If he knows what is due to himaelf, he will unite
with Tie Republican Party, n oppositon to Mr..
Clay"
The People Of Virginia have been always
distinguished for kheir nOslenes4 Of character;
and we leave Mr.. Tyler 10 their hands. He
encounters in the present opposition Of the press
of Virginia no more than be has done during
his whole life. Yetthat People have borne him
in triumph over the heads Of the Editors and
politicians more than on one occasion, And
now, when his character for moral honesty is
assailed in the most vindicaive manner, they
will not be restrained from doing him justice
by the direct attacks of the Globe, or more in
furious, because more insidious ass aults of the
Enquirer.

consideration. He lost his voice entirely to be
unable to utter loud word, He was treated con-
siderable time for bronchitis but it found that the
disease was cphonia, produced by paralysis of the
muscles of articulation. He was induced to apply
croton oil externally to his throat--three or four
drops were strongly rubbed on several times day.
These produced pustules and finally sharp pains were
iel in the seat of the disease, and in few days his
voice returned clear, loud, and permanent He says

promulgated the doctrine of protection. The

POLISH GIRLs.-The next day we breakfasted at
Sa-dova-V ishnia, and dined Mt Moshiska AT dinner
we were waited upon by blooming young Polish
girl, of mean origin, but fair and graceful as Prin-
cess. Many writers have contended that the far
famed beauty of the Polish women was confined to
the upper classes. l think they are mistaken The
lower classes appear less beautiful only because toll
care, and want too often imprint their marks upon
the features, and because they entirely without
those advantages of dress enjoyed by the favored
children of fortune Wherever Polish women are
seen in comfortable situations, clean and neat, well
fed and clothed the natural beauty Of high and low

sparkling dark eyes, the tasteful arrangement of their
abundant rDglets, and their lively, sportve charm

men certain pretty sPortivc waving motion Of
the head and neck, which common alike to

was refused, on the ground that it would
be attended with great inconvenience and
danger 10 the regular trains, and that it
was against the rules of the road. In re-

DANIEL O'CoNNELL AND JAMES Cor
DON BENNETT.-At Repeal meeting in
Dublin on the 18th of August, gentleman,
who had for some time been sitting beside
Mr.. OConnell, addressed Mr.. Steele, and
handing him his card, requested an intro
duction to Mr.. O'Connell. Mr.. Steele ac-
cordingly presented the card, and intimat-
ed that Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, of New
York was present
Mr.. O'Connell replied-he is a person
with whom | can have nothing to do-he
is the editor of the NeW York Herald one
OF the most infamous gazettes ever printed,
and | shall have nothing to say to him.
This was reception that Mr.. Bennett
did not count upon; and he forthwith pro-
ceeded to take his departure. The room
being very full his movement was much
retarded; but by the aid of the chairman
he struggled out amid the groans of the
meeting.
