Holders have "crcated dust in the

NApoLEoN's HEART.-When Bona

known that his heart was extracted,

Restoration Of Frozen Mh.-We
find communication Of some interest
on this subject in an eastern paper
Black ink when frozen and thawed is
we'll known to be separated into two
portions, coagulatcd black mass, and
a pale watery fluid. Oflhese two por-
tons 1t is found that the liquid con-
tans free sallie acid, protosulphate of
iron, li,tle gallatc Of iron, and all the
gum. The coagulate portion is simply
tannate Of iron. These being the
whole constituents Of the ink before
freezing, it is evident there is no de-
composition, but the coaglation is pro-
duced by the cohesion OF the PARTICLES
of tannate Of iron by the intense cold.
If therefore, frozen ink be boiled few
minutes, it returns again TO lis original
state as Iimpid and black as ever. The
reason that blue, red and carmine ink
arc not coagulated by cold, is because
these INKS are perfect solutions: bat
the tannatc of,ron exists in black ink
in very minute particles Of solid matter
which arc held il suspension by the
gum.

Emigration 10 Oregon.-!t is sta
ted that several women and childrun
belonging TO the large party Of oregon
emigrants which left the States for that
distant country, last spring, have died
in consequence OF hardship and suffer
ing endured before reaching the Rocky
Mountains. Il would seem, however,
that this is not sufficient to deter others
from undertaking the journey. a
company Of about 5000 persons are
preparing 10 set out from Missouri
next spring--[Aenia, (O.0 Torch
Light.
There arc only two incorrect asscr-
tons in the above. Not one women,
or child oftbc "Oregon Emigranis Of
last SPRING" is knoaon to have died of
"hardship and suflcring;" and instead
of"ooO0 persons (kno,cn TO be- pre-
pairing 10 set ont from Missouri mex,

be nearly correct.

clear illustration, IN defence of Wing principles
aud Wing candidates. We have marked several
passages for the Express in reference 10 Texas
and The Tariff. both OF which questions are tho
roughly understood and well handled by the hon.
orable member. The following anecdote told to
the Alexandrians, happily illustrates the Loco
foco robbery Of Mr.. Tyler's Texas thunder:
"Their condnct towards Mr.. Tyler, ungrateful
and fraudulent as it ia, reminds me OF cIrcum-
stance that happened in your sister city, Wash.
ington, some years ago, and which, it strikes me,

gentleman walking along the avenue, on his
way to The Capitol, was attracted by the cries Of
a little girl, whose companion, an older and stout
er girl, was beating her with great energy and
cruelty. He hastened Immediately to the scene
of action, and, disengaging the combaiants, in
qnired of the assailant, in an angry manner, why
she thus whipped the child, for which, he said,
she ought to be heartily ashamed. "Wfy," said
she, the tears starting TO her eyes, and running
down her cheeks, "she has stolen my begging
story, and shant be able to get any more mo-
ney.'' Even so it is with Mr.. Tyler and his Lo-
cofuco allies The sagacious Locofocos, finding
that their old stories are worn out by long usage,
and will not bear telling any longer, have stolen
his begging story. Yes, my friends, must do

robbed Of his entire capital and stock in trade, and
that the inscriptions Locofoco leaders are try
