from Mexico Not the ladies certainly, for he
Mexican cactus has supplied to them the prettiest
yet thought of employing. This material is the fibre
of the plant-fne as silk, lustrous as silver, and
strong as any thing need be. The bonnet. when
made up, is called the Cican why the word
"Mexican" was not adopted we do not know. The
lady editor of the Boston Transcript gives it her
unqualified appreciation and it has. moreover, the
superatse merit Of being easily cleaned, with only
soap and water, and coming out from the process as
beautiful and durable ever Higgins of N. York

young man named Charles H. Smith, aged
smothered and worried to death, at Hickman, KY,
on the 20th inst, for the murder of Abraham o.
Tyler. small cotton rope was placed around his
neck, which broke when the drop fell. The victim
lay stretched his back for some minutes upon the
ground in great agony and apparently dying. But
he recovered sufficiently to again ascend the plat
form. This time the sheriff went TO the other ex-
reme, using rope cable so large and rough that
the moose would not tighten In ten minutes after
be was swung off, the tortured man was still kick
ing, apparently in great agony. Horrible This

MARK TIME"

Our Executive chief madly bent upon fame,
And anxious to get himself great name,
That might ring through the land and the nations
afar,
Plunged us heels over head in the Mexican war.
Bat the laurel wreahd circle fell not upon Polk
His visions Of greatness all ended in smokes
For the evergreen chaples Of glory, wot,
Proudly rest on the brows Of brave Taylor and
Scott.
Now, freemen come forth be resolved and stand
steady
To fill the Estate chair with odd brave Rough and
Ready
Then while your proud flag glitters bright with his
star,
Let the eagle. eyed Scott head tho Bureau Of war.

Taylor, for his merciful capitulation at Monterey.
This insult intended to depreciate his fitness

The effect of it, however, was very different from
what was intended. The vote designed to disg race

Some of the federal whig papers, indulge in
the habit Of applying the term " tory" to the
democrats. This application comes with a
peculiarly good grace from the organs of a
party which has enrolled among its members

revolutionary, and the blue light federalists Of
the late war !-.Noristoacn Register.
