A ROYAL NosE.-At a table where the En-
peror of Austria, then the only heir to the throne,
was a guest, a question arose as to which was
the strongest part Of the human frame. One
said the legs, because they carried the whole
body; another spoke up for the arms, because
Of the labor they were capable of performing;
another said it was the head, because it direct
ed the whole. When the prince was appeal
ed to, he said that, for his part he gave h~isvoice
in favor Of the nose. When a laugh at the
odd idea of the prince had ceased, his high
ness wss asked for an explanation: when he
pithily said: "Why, the Prince Of Metternich
has had my father by the nose for the last TWEEN.
ty years, and it is as good a nose as ever, and
not q bit the worse for the exercise"

TEMPLE of Honor.

Brother A. NJ. Baker, P. G. w. P. of Michi-
gan, in a communication to the North Western
Dollar Weekly, in reference to the Temple of
Honor, says:
sThis is a Temperance Organization, which
was originally connected with the Sons of Tenn
perance, in that it required a man to belong to
a Division, in order that his name could be pro-
posed to become a member of the Temple
By the action, however, of the National Tenn
pie, and of the National Division, at their recent
session at Cincinnati, the connection heretofore
existing was dissolved. 1t is no longer neces-
sarv that a person should be 4 Son to become
q Templar.
"The obligation of a Templar is not only as
to personal abstinence from all that can in
~toxicate. but it embraces the influence, and
places that on the side of Total Abstinence
1t is a pledge for life.the Temple does not, re-
c%oenize any such thing as ~resigning out OF
the Order. ATemplar can only become dis
connected with the Order by death Or eTpuI-
sion.
1.-THE Temple has. signs of recognition and
three degrees. (besides the Initiatory) Of Love,
Purity and Fidelity. These are intended to
bind still stronger the temperance band, and
make stronger impressions upon the mind and
heart for good; by means of imposing symbolic
ceremonies, and by highly poetic poems and
admonitions of an elevated tone OF moral
sentiment.
sSince the d%isunion, the Rituals have been,
and are being revised so as to adapt the new
state of things.
'The Constitutions We're also revised by the
National Temple, for the same purpose, and it
is now upon a permanent basis and placed upon
a foundation which it is thought will make it
powerful for good. 1t is intended that the
Templars of Temperance, shall not be disimi-
lar to the Knight TEN liars of the middle ages
in Europe; in that they will never turn back to
a foe, and will never know defeat. Wherever
that band of Brothers go, silently but in their
might, with hearts beating in unison, and sup
porting each other. they will be sure to con-
qnez;; Alcohol must fall. They are enlisted for
life; they know no neutral ground; the are pick
ed men for warfare; they have been taught 10
knew themselves and to know each other, and
having been Illustrated and devoted to the cause,
they are as the spillars of the Earth for firm
ness and as the arch of Heaven for beauty
Well may the forces of Alcohol tremhle in
view Of such a band.

1.-THE cultivation of the Tea Plant, which
was undertaken by Mr.. James Smith, near
Greenfield, 8. C..in 1s48, has so far proved
highly successful. In the fall of lS4s, about
800 plants were received froih China, via Lon
don, and in December they were planted in his
garden. A considerable quantity Of ten seed
was planted at the same time. Notwithstanding
the severe winter and spring, the plants which
were left to take care Of themselves, were un-
harmed, and are now in a %aourishing condition.
Several specimens of green and black plant
are in bud. The tea plant buds one year, but
does not fruit till the next. Next year Mr..
Smith expects to pick tea, although his great
object for some time to come will be to increase
the quantity of his plants.

THE Union wants to know if the present

eat all hazards" Suffice it to say, observes
the Republic, that the 'srights, interests, and
honor" of the country are in the hands of those
who will not "neglect and compromise Them" as
the Union unwittingly admits the last Admins
tration did. "At all hazards has got to be a
~favorite expression of the sole organ. The
greatest hazard the Polk administration encoun-
tered was that of "su4atting." In the matter
of Oregon, it ran this hazard and @squatted"
upon "forty-nine." In the matter of Nicara-
qua. and the Monroe doctrine, it "squatted'
upon nothing. AS this "squatting" is not a
possible thing with the present Administration
there is one of the sshazards" of the last cabi-
net which must not be counted in enumerating
the risks which will be taken by the present
one in defending the rights of the country.

CULTIVATION OF SUGAR ABANDONED IN THE
BRrr1su EAST ISp1Es.-The regular Paris
correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce thus adyests to the Illustration of the
experiment for the culture of Sugar in the Bri-
fish colonial dependencies in Southern India
aYou will notice that the Messrs. Arbuthnot
& Co have abandonedtheir great experiment of
| cultivating the sugar under European superin-
| tendence. The MADRAS Athenaum explains
the cause of the mise arriages OF their expensive
efforts. 1t says OF the firm;
"For many years they have been the most
extensive manufacturers of sugar in Southern
India, converting to the extent OF thousands of
tons annually, the coarse jaggery made by the
ryots into the fine product which finds its way
into the market; but the first attempt to raise
the cane was made about two or three years
since, and it is needless to say that no cost or
skill was spared to render it successful. Plan
tiers, were brought from the West Indies at
liberal salaries to direct the cultivation, and
machinery of the most complete and extensive
character was imported from England to irrigate
the soil and manufacture. the sugar on the spot.
No project could possibly be set on foot under
circumstances more favorable, but the upshot
is that the land taken in ~Rajahmundry and
Dawlaishwarum has been relinquished, and the
cattle turned into the fields Of standing cane"
sThe question Of competition to be maintained
on the existing system with the West Indies
and the country in which slave labor prevails,
must rest for future consideration. Atpresent
we have arrived at the important conclusion,
that, under the most favorable circumstances,
we cannot hope to alter the present mode Of
cultiyating the sugar cane in Southern India"

D=We can but barely notice the glorious
result that has attended the Wings. There is
great cause for high exuitation. We have not,
it is true, carried the Parish by a vote equal to
that of last year; but all are wings that are
elected, and where is the Parish in Louisiana
that will record a similar triumph? True, it is
the first time that the whole wing ticket has
succeeded here; and for that reason alone, We
say, hurrah for Tberville!

The Next SpeakershIp,

We yesterday says the Picayune, gave the
speculations of sIon" on the probable course
Of the Wings in Congress relative to the
Speakership. The same writer has the fol-
owing concerning the Democrats:
The principal candidates. named by the DEM
ocratic members for the Speakership of the
next House are Mr.. Howell Cobb: of Georgia,
Mr.. Baily, of Virginia, aed Mr.. Boyd, of Ken
lucky. Gen. Mcdowell, of Virginia, though
decidedly more acceptable to the Northern and
Western Democrats than any other Southern
man, among them, will not, it is said, consent
to take the position Of Speaker, on account of
his precarious health.
Mr.. Cobb, Of Georgia, is sunquestionably the
leading candidate ON the part of the Democrats,
as Mr.. Winthrop is on the part of the Wings.
The Democrats will certainly gain one men,
Der in Mississippi-that is conceded by the
Wings, but the Wings will hold their own in
Louisiana, and even fatter themselves with the
prospect of the gain of one member in that
State.
Accident will decide the relative strength of
the two parties when Congress meets. It is
hardly probable that Mr.. Thomas Butler King,
of Georgia, will be here. Even should he re-
cover, it IS almost impossible that he should be
here on the first Monday OF December. Some
members may be detained by sickness or other
cause. The New Jersey election case, and the
organization of the House at that time, was de-
termined in consequence Of the non-attendance
of two Wings, one of whom was detained by
~indisppsition, and another by the death of bis
wife.
Mr.. Cobb has written a letter, it is reported,
stating that he has, in compliance with the
views Of his friends, determined to be a candi-
date for the Speakership, and he says that he
will certainly be elected; for the democratic Free
Sellers will support him, on account of his hos
tiity to Mr.. Calhoun; but he adds that what
he most fears is the loss of the votes Of the
South Carolina Taylor Democrats.

The SAFETY OF SIR JOHN FRANKLN.-On
our first page will be found an account of the
manner in which this long lost navigator was
discovered. We give it for what it is Worth-for
anything that relates to him is of great interest
to those who are acquainted with the history
of his expedition, and have sympathised with
his devoted lady in her grief and anxiety to learn
something respecting him-but the story seems
very improbable to us. 1t appears that his loca-
ton in Prince Regents Inlet was made known
through signs by Indians to the captains of two
w%halemen, one bound to England and one to
this country. As far as the location is concerned
the account appears very reasonable-but when
it is asserted that the Indians likewise informed
the captains, IN The same manner, that the ex-
plorer and his men were still alive, we begin to
doubt the whole; for the question naturally ari-
ses in our mind that the Indians must have seen
them, and if so, why did not Sir John Frank
lin and men leave the ships in the ice bound pri-
son where they had been four years, (known as
it is that they had not provisions sufficient to
exist longer than this fall,) and follow or ac-
company those that reported concerning theme
It seems to US that no enthusiasm, or madness,
could be sufficiently strong to induce him, I'M
der the circumstances, to act otherwise than to
leave his perilous situation by the same way as
those who carle and found him-and therefore,
we doubt the whale story.
