A LADYIN THE CAsE.-Strange stories
are told in eastern papers, in relation to
the origin Of the late difficulty with the
diplomatic agent Of the French Govern
ment at Washington. These rumors diff
ter somewhat in detail, but there is enough
IN them to show that nj. PoUSsIs is not
just the man 10 be entertained in an off,
cial relation at Washington, whatever
may De thought Of his domestic relations
by the court Of Paris or in Europe. The
assiduity with which he seems TO have
courted a controversy with Mr. CLAYTON
officially, we mean--seems to be refer
red to two things : the early objection, on
the part Of Mr. CLAYTON, 10 the reception
Of The lady OF Mr. P. at Court, and the use
which has been made OF the French Min
lister by the Locofocos, in consequence Of
this seeming neglect, and when he was
disposed to do all the injury he could to
the Administration.
The story is, that soon after the inaugu-
ration grand entertainment was given to
the foreign ministers resident at Wash
ington. Etiquette has, it seems, a good
deal TO do with these things at Washington,
and proper self-respect, on the part Of
the President and the Cabinet, led to the
difficulty. All the ministers, with their
Secretaries, and their ladies, it was de-
termined, should be invited, with the ex-
ception Of the ladies' OF the French Minis
ter and his Secretary. In the case Of Mr.
Poussin, he and his lady had previously
called upon the President, and the latter
had been introduced to him but for rea-
sons which were deemed satisfactory, il
was settled in Cabinet Council that the La
dy of Mr. Poussin and of M. Marie, his
Secretary, should not, and could not, be
invited. The position OF these ladies' in
reference 10 their reputed husbands, in
Paris, is said to have been Of doubtful
character, and this gave rise to their ex-
clusion from invitations to the Diplomatic
banquet. II founded in truth, the deci-
sion will hardly meet with much rcproba-
tion from the people Of the United States,
however much it may have mortified the
French Minister and his Secretary
Questions of this kind have before arisen,
and created considerable embarrassment
to the Administration, but in this case, at
this day, public opinion will very soon
settle the matter.-.Ho. Rep6.

THE reserve and taciturnity Of Wash
ington were proverbial; but as the one
was the result, Of diffidence and not Of aus
teri,y or pride, SO the other proceeded
from his habitual prudence rather than
GOODNESS or want Of the sensibili,y that in
spires sloquence. In proof of this, it is
related Of him that when the famous meet
ing of officers was held at Newburgh to
to consult upon measures to be taken in
consequence of the disarmament ofthe ar
nv by Congress, without securing the re-
ward due 10 its services, Washington who
was known to disapprove Of the proceed
inss, though he sympa,hized with the feel
ings which gave rise 10 it resolved, new
ertheless, TO be present. Unwilling to
trust to his powers Of ertempore speaking,
he reduced what he meant to say to writ
ing, and commenced reading it, without
his spectacles, which, at that period, he
used only occasionally. He found how
ever, that he could not proceed without
them. He stopped and took them out,
and, as he prepared TO place them, he ex-
claimed, IL have grown blind as well as
graz in the service Of my country" This
sudden burst Of natural eloqusnce. it may
be supposed, he'd more effect shan anything

FAcr. AND FleuREs.-The following,
from the New York Tribune, speaks for
itself, General Tasiu and the Wings:
Gen. Taylor received 23,!22 votes in
Vermont last November: Coolidge, Wing
Governor, 22,l25 in September. This
year Gov. Coolidge has over 20 500 votes
over 5000 increase on General Tay-
Ior's vote. Is this one Of the proofs Of
the unporularity Of the CaIlne, !-or OF
the peoples disgust at Cen. Taylor 5 lio-
la,ions Of his pledges, Of which we hear
50 much ? 1esg
While The Wing vote in Vermont has
thus increased, the combined Opposition
vote has fallen of. II was %, 5S7 agains:
Coolidge last year; 26,7o9 against him
now so that the majority Of all others
over him, which was 6,462 last year, is
now about 600! How Wig rule does
disgust the voters! asaz@- gaa

The Prophet Child.

Within the Temple slept the child,
The after-prop Of Israeps fame,
When DER his SAUNDERS, calm and mild,
The summons of Jehovah came.
The call was heard, the child awoke;
With beating heart and bending knee

Oh, when we hear Jehovah's voice
Breaking the slumber Of the soul,
So may we rise, and so rejoice,

For the Burlington Hawk Eye

LIBERTAD:-CANTo2 Z.
Down that dread pass the fatal lightning few,
Cleavingits way thro' freedoms hapless band;
Who up that steep tho they its tcrrors knew,
With venturous foot had pressed to Fate's command;
Now scatl,'d by Ruin bleed on either hand;
Rending with groans the dismal frowning skies,
And shrieks more piercing wall along the land;
For on the field the brave Montgomery lies,
And heroes pale with grief, stand round with tear
full eyes.
Montgomery bfeath'd his last just as the day,
Mantled with gloom o'cr the gray world ook'd forth
And brush'd with sickly rays nights pail away,
From the dark corners of the West and North;
A thousand hearts with joyance hai'd its birth,
But Freedom mourn'd above her hero's bier,
With eyes in pity fixed upon the earth,
TO fallen greatness shed Affections tear;
Wild gushing tears which plainly mark'd her grie
sincere.
Now round the field the heralds ran with speed,
To all the troops announce their Chieftain's fate
Each leader stands, and hears with awful heed
The heralds their disastrous tale relate;
While ev'ry soldier weeps his hapless mate;
And Fl ON the siege the troops would now retire,
Yet Arnold's rage o'erwrought by love and hate,
Bears down where Quebec's fierce contending ire,
Pour'd thro' her crimson streets dread streams o.
lead and fire.
Still onward TO their post that vet'ran prest,
And urg'd his troops hard by that rampart's side,
While angry flames enwrap its II embling crest;
Below death-dealing shots; out-bursting wide,
Roll the fell-carnage on its crimson tide;
And mid the havoc Arnold bravely falls,
To some wing'd-fate which fortune faild to guide,
Deep in the snow; at which stern Morgan calls,
And bears to camp the wounded hero from the
walls.
Now to the camp each band its Judgments sought;
Which they in hope had left some hours before;
Impelrd by this DER dreary fields they fought,
A well arm'd troop and brav'd the lannon's roar;
Bcheld their comrades fall and steep the field with
gore;
And tho repuls'd they still would not retreat,
Until they learn'd the brave Montgomery was NO
moreI
And Their they yield unsullied by defeat,
TO mourn their GENEROUS chief or valiant deeds re-
peati
In quarters now the warlike trains arrive
Worn down by the rough ills of war,
Chrd by the furious blast which onward drive,
In mut'rlng cadence from their caves afar;
In haste they stack their arms, then join and rear
The woody heap upon the tented field;
Some from the store house draw their homely fare
Some in the wood their ponderous ayes WELD,
And others into heaps the telling timbers build.

VALuEorAs ORcHAnD.-Every farm
er or mechanic who owns an acre of land
should supply it with fruit trees. The fruit
would always bring a good price in the
market; and, wher perfectly ripe, is very
wholesome for children. In 1885, a farm
er had an acre of pasture and worth about
bl5 or $40. He removed the large rocks
with which it was covered, and set out
tlir,y->ix appIe'rees, which ilourished cx-
ceediucly well, and have since paid him
for his trouble. The land is now worth

jews IN EURopE.-The wars Of Prov
idence are to be observed in the influence
which the Jews are now exer,ing in Eu-
rope. For long time they exerted vast
influence on European commerce, and
Jews have been the bankers Of Kings; and
now they have become as potent in poll
tics and revolutions. Ofthe radical re-
publicans that have Matched revolutions in
every kingdom, large portion are Jews,
and out OF the mouth Of Jew came the
the means Of preventing the proclamation
of the young Duke of Orleans in the street
of Paris Immediately on the abdication OF
his grandfather. He connselled that this
should take place with the consent and
through the medium oithe chambers. He
then Hurried off through the by-ways, and
communicated the intelligence that the
throne was empty, before the Duchess and
her son appeared. The impression which.
in all probability, would have been pro-
duced on the deputies by their sudden APP
pearance among them to receive their al
iegiance, was destroyed. And when they
did arrive, ii was the Jew who pronoun-
ced the fatal words late!" which
decided the cause Of monarchy in France,
and perhaps on the whole continent OF Eu-
rope. Perhaps it is the design Of Provi-
dence to use the Jews as the instruments
of retribution on despotic governments,
for what Jews have suffered from them.

AGRICULTURAL EDucAr1oN.-A great
deal has been said and written, yet but lit.
tie done, in regard TO schools or seminaries
Of learning for fitting boys and young men,
by education and practical knowledge, for
the business of farming. Every intelligent
cultivator acknowledges the great aid
which science gives to agriculture, and
the variety and extent of the sciences that
are made subservant to this profession: yet
he is aware that the best practical knowl-
edge is equally important.
Now, the important question is, How
shall the young man learn the science and
art of farming, or how shall the parent ed
ucate his boy properly for his calling?-
Schools have been established for these
purposes on various plans, and under fa-
vorable and unlavorable auspices. Some
have fouri>hed, others have failed. :
This subject has been agitated in sever
agricultural education; but as it is novel
subject, it has been difficult TO agree on
any plan, so that but very little has been
done by legislative aid. And as it is of
the highest importance, and subject in
which the whole community lave deep
interest, it is hoped that it will be investi-
gated by our legislative assemblies, and by
the correspondents of agricultural pursuits,
as we'll as other professionally. +. Far

Diplomatic Difficulties,

The following letter, which we find in
the Baltimore Sun, possesses considera-
BILE interest, though we do not know how
far lis statements should be relied on:
WAsHlsGros, Sept. 20, lS49.
Administration is in serious difficulties.
The imperious tone assumed by England
in regard TO the Mosquito countryside
diplomatic nare-up between Mr. Clayton
and nj. Poussin--and the bfusgue rebuke
administered by the Secretary of State TO
Caravallo, the Gillian Minister, for OBJ
tanning information from the State Depart
ment. through clerk, relative to the
claim Of 100000 against citizen OF
Boston-have all been crowded upon Old
lack in the first six months OF his admin
istra,ion.
That Mrs Champion has been instruct
ed by the English Government to main
tain the right of way through Nicaragua,
and the further right Of the Mosquito King
to his possessions, there seems to be no
question. Mr. Clayton has positively but
courteously protested, in the name Of Gov
eminent, against any claim which the Eng
lish preten>ions set up by virtue OF the
treaty with his sable majesty, and reaf-
firms the ground taken by Monroe and
Polk, viz: that England will not be allow
ed to colonize OH one foot more OF the
North American hemisphere.
So much for the Presidents heroism in
this matter, for it is he that directs Mr.
Clayton to assume this heightened nation
al position.
In regard to the rupture with the Chill
ian ambassador, the report goes that
clerk in the State Department gave MI
] Caustin. the father-in-law Of Caravallo, a
paper which threw important light upon
the case being prosecuted by the Ch,llar
Government, and that Mr. Clayton, find
ing that such information could only have
been obtained from his Department, inter
roca,es Mr. Caravallo as to the source o.
the possession Of the paper, who refer'
him to Mr. Caus,in, and he in turn to the
clerk, who was promptly dismissed from
office for this violation OF official comb
dence.
Although nothing very serious may
grow ont of the fact that Mr. Clayton ant
Caravallo have eliminated and recrimina
,ed--one accusing that it was undiplomat
ic TO make use of information surreptltlous
" obtained from the archives Of govern
ment--the other that it was unministeria
|, TO rebuke foreign func,ionary for prose
cutting legi,ima,ely just clalm--yet
does show that there is something wrong
or that England, France, and Chill hav
colluded for the purpose Of throwing Oh
.tacles in the way Of the Administrative
Of General Taylor and the general prog
: ress of the American republic. Z.

the part Of some persons an indisposition
to support--in purely domestic sense
home industry. This is wrong. 1t IS the
best economy to patronze our own me-

for an article they can manufacture. The
advantage Of this is seen at once: ltgives

LAZY BEAvERs.-It is a curious fact,
says a trapper, that among the beavers
there are some that are lazy and will not
work At all, either to assist in building
lodges or dams, or to cut down wood for
their winter stock. The industrious ones
beat these idle fellows, and drive them
away sometimes cutting off part Of their
tail, and otherwise injurins them. The
sParesseux' are more easily caught in
traps than the others, and the trapper
rarely misses one Of them. They only
dig hole from the water running ob-
lioucly towards the surface Of the ground
twenty-five or thirty feet, from which they
emerge when hungry, to obtain food, re.
turning 10 the same hole with the wool
they procure to eat the bark. They new
er form dams, and are sometimes to the
number Of five or seven together; all are
males. 1t is not at all improbable that
these unfortunate fellows have, as is the
case with the males Of many species OF
animal, been engaged in fighting with 9TH
ers Of their sex, and, after having been
conquered and driven away from the lodge
have become oilers from kind Of neces-
si,y. The working beavers, on the con-

ACuR1ous Woak OF NAruxE.-One
of the most remarkable curiosities in the
vicinity OF Mobile, is what is called the
"Thundering SPRING" about twelve miles
from the city. The country is consider
able elevated above the level of the river,
and is mainly Of sandy formation. The
spring, or rather its embouchure, is APP
paren,iy about three or four feet in dame
ter, and the fluid has an uncertain motion,
like the ebulitions on the surface Of boil
ing water-throwing up with it pure
white sand. The remarkable character
istic, Of it are a low, rumbling, irregular
noise, exactly like distant thunder, and a
tremulous or nervous motion Of the earth,
which is also irregular. The ground for
many yards in the vicinity Of the spring is
constantly shaking in this way, leaving an
impression Of Insecurity and extensive

presents the appearance for some distance,
of having sunk several feet below the
original surface. The volume Of water
that issues from IL is not so great as one
would suppose, without examining the
stream as it runs off. This deception
originates in The paroxysms Of the spring,
which casts up huge bubbles mixed with
sand, that fall back into the basin, without
being carried off.-.Mobile fila. Herald.
