A Adiscussion lately arouse at dinner up.
on the basis of the right ofsufrage, when the
following colloquy took place:
"I do not think" said one of the party
that all men should indiscrimnatly be permit

NIT women to the polls.'
"Women!'' quickly responded a spirited
lady on the opposite side of the table. 'and
why should women not vote? Do you mean

The Sacramento Transcript gives the follow
ing illustration of the operation of Lynch Law
in the New State:
at seems that man by the name of De-
vine, residing at Georgetown, had taken to
gambling, and as he was in the habit of losing
his money, his wife hid all that came in her
possession. On Sunday, he got broke he de-
manded the money which she had hid. She
refused to deliver it if he intended to use it
in gambling, whereupon Devine threatened to
kill her As he seized his gun, she blew out
the candle and fled into another room; he how
ever discharged it at her The contents pass
ed through the door and killed her. An en-
ragged crowd, several hundred strong, assem-
bled forthwith, set Devine on horse and rode
him off to a tree. Here they made him kneel
upon the horses back, put the rope around
his neck, and drove the horse Off leaving him
hanging from the branch Of the tree"

David t. Disney and Henry Clay.

Hon. D. T. Disney, Democratic member Of
Congress from Hamilton county, inreply to an
Union barbecue at Lexington, KY, speaks in
the highest terms of Mr.. Clay's efforts. We
present our readers with the following extract
from his letter:
I shall never agree with Mr.. Clay in many
of his political views; but can do justice to
his services and power. In none of the dark
hours in the history of our country did the po-
litical horizon look more black and threatning,
then it was in the period over which we have
just passed. Pride, passion, deep-rooted pref
udice and interest, combined to threaten the
very existence of the Republic; but fortunate
lp the occasion found men equal to it-men
whose sagacity reached into the future, and
men whose patriotism preferred the welfare Of
the country to the welfare of any party-and
prominently among them stood the distinguish
ed statesman of Kentucky.
He deserves, gentlemen, the honor which
you propose to confer upon him, and if circum-
stances permitted it, no one would join in the
barbecue with more cordially than myself
Copying his own example in the Senate cham
Der, should feel proud in rendering to patri.
otism that which to the leader of a party ]
ever have denied.
l remain, gentlemen, your o'bt serv't,
d. r. DISNEY.

Tnfusorin on Teeth.

DR.. II. I Bowditch, Of Boston in paper
in Silliman's Magazine, has given the result
of microscopic examination of the ac-
cumulations on the teeth of forty-nine indivi-
duals many of whom were very particular in
their care of teeth. Animalculas and vege-
table products were found in every instance
except two. In those cases the brush was
used three times day, and thread was
passed between the teeth daily. Windsor
soap was also used by one of these two per-
sons with the brush. Dr.. B. had tried various
substances for destroying the animalcules,
and especially tobacco, which seemed to be
without effect Soap suds and chlorine tooth
wash, however, were potent destroyers,

The Railroad.


WIN. H. NEWTON, President Engineer of
the Wellington, Norwalk, and Toledo Rail
Road, advertises for proposals for building the
road from this place to Toledo, distance of
20 miles. Those wishing to take contracts,
will govern themselves accordingly.
The Toledo bonds were delivered over to
the Treasurer of the company the forepart of
the present week, and will be disposed of in
due time, 20 meet the engagements of the
company.
The $4,000 subscribed in this place, will
be paid as fast as called for, the subscribers
being all responsible men.
The way matters now stand, there is no
obstacles in the way to an early completion of
the road between Fremont and Toledo. And
the prospects of the road from this place east
are also exceedingly favorable; indeed, we
think from the energy exhibited by the friends
of that part of the road, it will be ready to put
under contract by the first of April at the far
thest and probably sooner.

woman going OutaIOne.

The, fashionable public in New York, has
been thrown into state of the greatest excite
ment by the following affair, the particulars
of which are furnished by the Home Journal:
"a wealthy foreigner aman of rank, who
is on visit to this country, staying at one
of our hotels, feeling disinclined to go to
the play. his lady. who wished to go did what
she might have done in Europe-took her
dressing maid and went without him. Her
coachman purchased the tickets at the box
office, but on the presentation of these by the
Countess and her maid, the door-keeper re-
fused admittance. He had instructions to pass
no un-endorsed angels not made respectable
by the company of gentleman at the entrance
ofthe house, This amusing refusal to admit
the only title auditor of the evening, on scrup-
les ofrespectability, set the uptown philosophy
to speculate upon first principles

Bg- We learn from the Sandusky City
Mirror, that that part of the Lake Shore road
between that place and Cleveland has already
been put under contract, and that large and
enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of that
City was held at the Court House on Satur-
day evening last, to take into consideration the
propriety of extending the road West to To-
ledo. A resolution was unanimously adopted
in favor of the city taking 100000 to aid in
the construction of the road, and committee
of six, three in each ward, was appointed to
circulate petitions to that effect,to be forwar-
ded to the Legislature: and that the citizens
had nearly unanimously signed them. 1t was
also stated that $4,000 had been subscribed
in Ottawa county, and that as much more
would undoubtedly be taken, which, with the
Sandusky subscription, will be sufficient to
prepare the road for the iron.
A corps of Engineers commenced a survey
ofthe route between Sandusky and Toledo,
to be completed as soon as possible.
This looks like our neighbor was in earnest
about building the road, and we hope the
bright anticipations inudulged in by the friends
of that route may be fully realized.

Testimony Of a Rich Man.

The late Mr.. McDonough, the millinaire; in
his will, says:
Let the poorer classes of the world be con-
soled, assured that the labor-lovng, frugal in
dustriOus and virtuous among them possess
joys and happiness in this life which the rich
know not of and cannot appreciate So well
convinced am I, after long life and inter
course with my felIow-men of all classes, of
the truth "that the happiness of this life is al
together on the side of the virtuous and indus
trious poor" that, had / children (which l
have noD and fortune to leave behind me at
death, would bequeath, after virtuous edu-
cation, to effect which nothing should be spar
ed, very small amount to each, merely suffi-
cient to excite them to habits of industry and
frugality, and no more"

RumOred Derth of wellington.

The London Morning Herald, of Friday, the
18th ult, created quite a sensation in London,
by the following paragraph:
ave have received the following, dated
Stamford Mercury but in giving insertion to
it, we may remark we have no confidence in
the report, for we believe the venerable Duke
to be at this moment at Walmer Castle:
Intelligence has just arrived at Granthum
which no doubt is too true, that his Grace, the
Duke of Wellington, whilst hunting with the
Belvoir hounds, fell at Lincolnshire ha-ha and
dislocated his collar bone. The surgeon of
the hunt, attempting to reduce the dislocation,
met with most determined opposition, and
his, grace expired in the arms of his brother
fox-hunters.
The Duke of Rutland, Lord CRANKY, For
roster, and others bore the Hero home to Bel
voir Castle, with great grief"

Long Beards.

Wilson,in speaking of the human hair,says
Sit has been calculated by curious investi-
gator, (Withof.) that the hair of the beard
grows at the rate ofone line and halfin the
week. This viii give length of six inches
and a half year, and for man of eighty
years of age, twenty-seven feet, which have
fallen before the edge of the razor. Such an
amount of grouth appear in nowise remarkable
when we learn from Elbe, that, in the princes
court at Eidam, there is a full length painting
of carpenter, whose beard was nine feetlong
so that when engaged at work he was OBJ
liged to carry it in bag; and that the bur-
germeister, Hans Stomingen, having, upon one
occasion, forgotten to fold up his beard, trod
upon il as he assembled the stair case leading
to the council chamber of Brunn, and was
thereby thrown down and killed."

ing the rout for this important work, They
report that they have discovered line for the
proposed Canal only t,0elue miles long, from
Lake Nicaragua to the Pacific Ocean, and
having no where more than sirty feet eleva-

been hoped for, and will largely reduce the
cost of the work.
The Orns was still in the river, with only
one rapid between her and the lake; waiting
for a rise of water. The river was rising
slowly.
A great number of passengers now take
this rout in preference to crossing the Isthmus,
even with the present want of facilities.

who acted as interpreter;
Mr. CHAIRMAN: am deeply grateful for
the flattering mention which have Just heard

The Lexington, KY, Observer and Report
er contains letter from Robt A. Athey ESQ,
one of the representatives in the Kentucky
the great speech of Mr.. Clay before that body
lately. We make the following extract:
He pronounced glowing and well deserv-
ed eulogium upon the character of President
Fillmore, and expressed the opinion that the
Executive would enforce the fugitive slave
law, calling, if necessary, any portion of the
militia of the Union into service for that pur-
pose The compliment to Fillmore brought
down the most enthusiastic applause from
whig and democrat.
He alluded to the formation of new party,
which he denominated the Union party and
when he had mentioned it, with tone and
action never can forget-elevating his proud
old head-erecting his fine form, now some
what bent, as the snow bends the pine-his
eye beaming almost celestial fire, he rushed
towards the Speakers chair, excaming, L
am member of the Union partyl' Words,
to paint that scene. Only those who enjoyed
the pleasure of seeing it can have any idea of
his character.
l thought the most pathetic part of his ef
fort was when disclaiming any desire for of
fee, he wrapped his garments about him and
stepping proudly about, he said, 4 want no
office; no place-ah, yes he exclaimed, 4 do
want place, place in your hearts 1t was
said sd movingly-so sweetly-so pathetical-
ly-that his Interest opponents, seated imme-
diately about, strong and cold men, unused
to the melting mood wept like children.

All actions and attitudes of children are
graceful, because they are the luxuriant and
immediate offspring of the moment divested
of affectation and free from pretence.
A witty word spoken by rich relative is
a very witty affair-even when the wit is not
very apparent; but nobody laughs at the wit
of man in disgrace, whose coat is out at the
elbows
A brilliant talker is not always liked by
