Wars VIcTIM-The Memorial Bordelais"
states that not far from St. Sever, there is living
an old military man, who has false leg and a
false arm, both useable by means of springs,
glass eye, complete set of false teeth, nose Of
silver, covered with substance perfectly resem-
bling flesh, and silver plate replacing part of
the skull. He walks about with martial air,
bearing on his breast the Cross of The Legion of
Honor, won, together with his mutilations, by
deeds OF arms, in campaigns of Egypt, Italy, and
Russia at Friedland, Jena, Austerlitz, Wagram,
and Waterloo and which was conferred upon
him by the hands of Napoleon on the I'd of May,
1913, on the field at the battle of Lutzen.

:" PUBLIC OPINION"-HOW MANUFAC.
TURED.

We have been informed that the numerous
frothy letters purportipg to be addressed to the
Editor of the Madisonian from various parts of
the country, speaking in such encouraging and
extravagant terms Of the increasing popularity Of
Mr.. Tyler, and the great favor which annexation,
or "Tyler and Texas" finds with the people, re-
manufactured to order in this city by an office
holder lately rejected by the Senate, Solicitor Of
the Land Ofice,) but who still retains the Office
by the favor Of the Senate, and will retain it I'M
til the gentleman who has been nominated as his
successor (Mr. Cabel) shall be confirmed, or the
Office abolished. We are not acquainted with
Mr.. Cabell, but understand he is quite competent
to perform the duties of the office to which he
has been nominated. AS to the .publc opinion"
of the country, as displayed in the Madisonian,
we can have no objection to it: if it has any po-
litcal effect whatever it is to distract and disor-
ganize the party to which we are opposed, and
whose downfall we would consider the most for
tunate circumstance that can possibly happen to
the country. Mr. Tyler having runaway from the
Wings, and committed harlotry with the De-
mocratic" party, his attempting to force those

gust, is matter entirely their own, and to be
settled by those concerned in their own way.
The quarrel between the shigh contracting par
ties" does not surprise in the least it is not
the first time concubine has attempted to "rule
or ruin" her paramount by the most INSCRIPTIONS
and diabolical means. If, however, those who in
the heat of passion allowed themselves to be
overcome by the Establishments and expressions of
love, SO far as to submit to the meritrcious en-
brace, will but show themselves men, and that
they have the courage Of honest men, they will
be looked upon by the world rather as having
committed fault, an indscretion, than as being
permanently debauched, corrupted, and coaoed by
the connection They hare the po,oe I'VE shall
see whether they are men or base cravens. Hon.
est men dare do all that may become man y
"cowards die many Deaths" and deserve them
all, and all the infamy they suffer to hang upon
them.

THE VICE PREsDENcY.-It is matter of great
satisfaction, to reflect that the Wings have ex-
cellent and rich materials from which to make
their selection for this office--andst is not less
SO, we learn from good authority, tfht the Sc
lection will fall on one of the purest and a5lest
Wings of the Union, We mean John M. Clay
ton, of Delaware. In every essential requisite
he is as completely qualified to administer the
Government as Mr.. Clay himself; if not bet
ter he is an older laborer in the Wing ranks
than any other of the distinguished names now be-
fore the public. He is more universally esteem
ed wherever he is known, and will insure greater
unanimity than any other of the eminent men
spoken of.-Sarannah Republican.

ADVANTAGE OF WING SoNGs.-Brother Brown
low, of the Jonesborough Wing, in defending
Wing songs from the attack made upon them by
the Locos, says g In the Second Book of Samu-
ell, and 10Th chapter, our Locofoco song haters
will learn that Saul, King of Israel. when he lay
stretched upon his couch, with devil in him as
large as modern Democrat" called for :" a man
who was cunning player on harp" to play him
out, and David went with his harp, an ass loaded
with bread, and bottle of wine, and kid, and as
soon as the" carousal' began, the devil departed
Now, if the soft melody Of David's harp could
chase the devil from his couch Of Saul, and lulI
his spirit into sweet repose, as we are taught it
did, why may not the music of Wing songs drive
the devil out Of the Locofocos -

STRAW BoNNETs.--In few years. says the
New York Sun, the towns and villages in this
State will supply the country with straw bonnets
without sending their orders to the city. At Ro-
chester they are manufactured of an excellent
quality, principally from rye straw. The Flo
renee straw is sent to England and France, there
braided, and exported to this country also, the
German fiat, Rutland, and Peddle the Amazone,
made from Russia hemp, and the Naopolitan, the
braid of which is taken from the wild horses Of
Siberia.

EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF.-From a table in
Hunts Merchants Magazine, furnished from the
Treasury Department, it appears that the amount
OF specie imported into the United States in the
year 1S43, was $23,742,634. OF this amount,
$l7,254,470 were in gold, and $685., O75 in spe-
Gle. This is greater, by about $6,0OO,OOO, than
the imports of any year since 1921. The amount
exported in 1S43 was $3,11S,399. The table
shows a gratifying increase Of the precious metals
in the country, which will tend still further to
give stability to our currency.

Amos kendall in the Expositor Of the 18th in
stant inquiries, what would the Wings think of
him if he should unfurl the banner of the Cross
as party sign! The editor may rest satisfied
that the Wings would think none the worse of
him. lie has already earned and received the
crown OF blasphemy by the publication of his
"Providential Dispensalons," and as if the star
of his fortunes had determined that nothing should
DO wanting to complete his infamy, this honor
has been awarded him by his own party. Mr. K
has long enjoyed the reputation of being among
the most corrupt, vindicve, INSCRIPTIONS party
hacks which the annals of toryism or toadyism
can furnish; and if there be any higher or lower
inches in the Temple of Infamy to which he has
not attained, any deeper or blacker guilt from
which he has withheld his hand, we may safely
conclude that his ambition of such honors has
only been restrained by the Unborn poltroonery of
his nature, which would never sustain him in
such attempts
We have placed Mr.. Kendall among the most
corrupt and wicked and prostuted of party hacks,
and have not set him before all others from scru-
pulous sense of justice to his friend, Mr.. Blair, OF
the Globe, whose depravity being total and COM
plete, of course can have no superior-whose
well-earned shame could receive no blacker
shades under the frowning gbbet. Without
presuming to give the palm of vlany to either,
therefore, we venture to assert that the two
make pair" as the author Of Gil Bias wvuld
say, of which the most corrupt and profigate fac
ton of any'country would not be ashamed.

sprang upon the counter before the mirror and after

very tolerable English, as follows:
Beaver.-My home was on mountain stream
Towards the setting sun,
So far away, did not dream
The trapper there would come:
But ah as Went out to fell

But now O. Fish on lis you live.

Which skirts northern lake, :

And in thicket placed a snaie

Who said, You'll make splendid nap"
Which gave me pain.

Beauer--Oh! my mountain stream never shall see;

All sleeping soundy the shelves;
