The STOCKHOLM AFFAIR-The WASH
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American reiJerates his statement
that MIR. Ellsworth, charge affairs at
Stockholm, has been recalled. He says
the denial of this announcement is with
out the "pretence of authority or color of
truth that the evidence upon which
the President acted is accessible to all

The ToPoGRAPHER.-Mr. J. nj. Steed,
of Parkersburg Va, says the scientific
American" has invented an instrument
named topographer, for measuring
heights and distances in manner very
different from the odometer or any other
instrument. The whole apparatus ex-
cept two levers are enclosed in box and
buckled to the front of the body. Tile
two levers extended from tie ankles TO the
waist, and act upon two sets of wheels,
one set to ascertain horizontal distances,
and the other to ascertain ascents and
descents by registering particular marks
by pencil on a strip of paper, wound
round a small roller.
The weight of the whole apparatus, in
cluding the case, will be about 3 or 4
pounds, and person having one on, by
walking over the route of any proposed
road, CANAL &c., the amount of eXcavat-
ing, and filling up to obtain any required
grade is shown by profile. and dial on
the end of the registering roller. 1t in-
dicates at any point the distance from the
surface to a level with the starting point
upon the ground passed over. 1t is de-
signed to enable engineers to dispense
with the use of chains, &C., and thus
avoid considerable expense, and the in
venter and many others, believe that
single person by it will be able to ac-
complish as much surveying, locating and
grading of Roads, &C., in one day, as
can be done by corps of engineers, and
what is more important the operator does
not require much skill or practice; he
has but little to do but note the magnetic
course Of the lines-the residue being
registered by the instrument
SINGULAR HoNEsTY.-The n Y. Tri-
bune Of Saturday says: ave were yes
terday shown an order ON Bell McLaugh-
lin & Co., Agents of the Bank of British
North America in this city, for f3 in fa-
vor of Mrs. Arnett, widow of George
Arnett, who died here about % years ago.
The money was forwarded by Mrs o.
County Meath, Ireland, who died about
Is years ago. The money had been lent
to O'Neil by Arnett, 30 years since, when
both of them were single men. Arnett
came to this country, married and died
here. O'Neil died in Ireland four years
afterward, leaving his widow in very
narrow circumstances and with many
debts to discharge. Since that time she
has continually lahored to repay every
thing he owed, and finally, after the lapse
of 80 years, returning this loan of Is,
which her husband borrowed from a
friend before their marriage. The letter
enclosing the order was written by the
curate of the parish in Ireland to MIR.
John Fitzpatrick of this city, at whose
house Mrs. Arnett is residing,

FRANKN Ess.-Be frank with the world.
Frankness is the child of honesty and
courage. Say just what you mean to do
on every occasion and take for granted
you mean to do what is right. Ifa friend
asks favor, you should grant it, if it is
reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why
you cannot You will wrong him and
yourself by equivocation of any kind
Never do wrong thing to make a friend
or to keep one; the man who requires
you to d., so, is dearly purchased at a
sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with
all men; you will find it the policy which
wears best. Above all, do not appear to
others what you are not. If you have
any fault to find with any one, tell him,
not others, of what you complain. There
is no more dangerous experiment than
that of undertaking to be one to man S
face, and another behind his back. We
should live, act and speak ont of doors,
as the phrase is, and say and do what we
are willing should be known and read by
man. 1t is not only best as matter of
principle; but as matter of policy.

since in a vessel from Virginia to this
city. The vessel lay near the foot of Ca

became known that slaves were on board,
a number of the abolitionists proffered to
aid them in gaining then liberty. The
slaves were grateful for the interest take1.
in them, but refused to accept their offers.

reason of the resignation by this gentleman of the
Chief Clerkship of the Treasury Department, an
Office which he had held for upwards of fifteen
years. are thus stated by him in his letter to Mr..
Meredith: THE act creating the Department of
the Interior, provides for the appointment of an
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, prescribes his
duties, and specifies such as were heretofore per-
formed by me as chief clerk, thus virtually making
the office of the latter subordinate clerkship.
Having been repeatedly appointed as the acting
head of the department, sefrespect forbids my &C.
cupying any position inferier to my recent one /;
hence the tender of my resignation. would fain
believe, from the confidence you have already re-
posed in me, that you also would have made no
change if my inclinations had prompted me to
remain

LAFAYETTE PUBLIC ScHooLs.-We were pres.
en yes'erday, at the examination of the first male
department of the Lafayette public schools, atthe
school-house on the corner of Laurel and St Philip
streets. The principal of this school = Mr. Gay,
and if we may be permitted to judge of his merits
from the proficiency evincsd yesterday by his pupils,
he has well and faithfully discharged his trust.
During visit, the classes in grammar, compost
ton, and historic were examined In all these
studies the Slpls showed that they had been taught
BY master intimate with those branches of knowl-
edge and Possessed of the rare talent of mparting
bus information to others. We are aware that at
many public examinations the scholars are made to
repeat lessons and answer questions prepared with
expressfeference to the OCCASION but such seemed
not to have been the case in this instance The
boys evidently understood what they were saying
and therefore said it well, undsmayed by the ordeal
OF public recitation. The schools of Lafayette
are credit and honor to the city. We sincerely
hope they will never be suffered to languish for
want of adequate announcement

MRS GREEN'S BENEFIr.-It is useless to tell
the New Orleans public who Mrs. Greene is; and
1t is only necessary, in order to ensure full house

at that popular establishment tonight The piece
selected is Macbeth" in which Mrs. Greene will
sustain the character of Lady Macbeth. To those
who have seen the lady in this part it would be
superfuous for US to say any thing concerning Mrs.
Greene's performance of it. If any should not
have seen her, we recommend them not to let this
opportunity slip.

mile heats, will, in ITSELF be sufficient to attract an
immense concourse of people to witness it, and
when coupled with the fact that two of the best
four-milers of the South, upon which large sums
have been staked, are to be the contending nags,
nothing more need be said.
