The Mayor Of Pitlsburg, who, il
will be remembered was an ilinerani
street preacher, and went about the
streets uttering ioul.mouthed accuse.
tions against Catholicity, has recently
imprisoned Row. Mr.. O'Connor. Cath
Ollie Bishop, and the Mother Superior
Of Sisterhood, for alleged tolerance
of nuisance on premises belonging
to them. This man Barker was IN
Jail at the time of his election to the
mayoralty--and it is a pity he didn't
stay there. The people Of Pittsburg

GOLD Co1NAsE.--A correspondent
states that the gold pieces Of GEN.
Jackson's time were worth considera'
bly, more than those Of the present
day, inasmuch as the latter contain
more alloy. He suggests that if the
Government of the United States
would increase the quantity Of gold
and lessen the alloy. the gold would
then be fully equal in value to the
British and Spanish coin. and gold
could be sent over to Europe instead
Of silver, thus leaving the silver in thi'
country for part'sf the currency

lngton letter. walters have for some
days been RECALLING the Northern press
with most ridiculous and absurd
story OF the discovery of a plot to dis.
solve the Union, form a Southern
confederacy. and make the city oil
Mexico the Capital. The disunionists
Of the South are already quite con.
spicuous, and will soon become in.
iamously so in the estimation Of every
patriot in the land, but to charge them
with such a conspiracy as that, is
indeed too bad. We must come to
their rescue and defend the traitors
an act of such consummate folly. No
man out Of a lunatic savlum would
ever even conceive such a scheme as
that, much less attempt to carry it
into execution, as pretended by those
pensioned retailers of false and un.
founded rumors. Charge them with
reasonable designs against the gov.
eminent, but for Heavens sake never
impute to them such foil y as that.

fidelity with which they and dis

pressed the feelings of gratitude and
affection with which his kindness had

OF the manner in which Mr.. Clay
ton administered the affairs of the
Department of State while General
Taylor was President. we may have
occasion hereafter to speak. The
history of that administration remains
to be written, and when written, it
will show that scarcely was one ever
surrounded with more difficulties, or

more successful overcame them.

The dog days continue from the
18th July to the 10th September
Many persons suppose that during
this time cogs are predisposed to by.
drophobia; but the true reason for the
name is an astronomical one. The
SUMS path, as it is called. but more
properly the earth's orbit, is divided
into two parts, which are noted by
certain fixed stars. or clusters of stars.
That from July 3Olh to September
10th, the suns path lies under the
star Sirius, which is in the cons,ella
ton CAMS Major or Great Dog. This
constellation consists Of thirty.one
stars, of which Sirius is the brightest,
and often takes the name Of the Dog
Star. This is what gives the name
to Dog Days, and those who fear the
dogs will run mad particularly at this
time, may dismiss their apprehensions.

WOMEN IN MALE ATTIRE.-Among

n Women IN MALE ATTIRE.-Amona
the schemes advocated by the female
reformers of the present day, there is
none more startling than that which
aims the overthrow of distinction in
costume of the sexes. As general
thing the reformers either deny the
existance of this project, or forbear 10
advocate it publicly: but the appear.
ance of pamphlet from the Brussels
press, written by Miss H. NJ. Weber,
in which the male attire is boldly and
ingeniously recommended as tbe"most
appropriate vestu!e for single females, "
removes all doubt upon the subject,anL
shows conclusively that the scheme
is seriousl y entertained. Miss Web.
Der is a graceful and vigorous writer,
and treats the subject with apparent
firmness. She adduces authorities to
prove that. in early ages men and
women dressed precisely alike; and
that the distinction in dress which
now exists, was arbitrarily drawn by
the male sex, in the tyrannlcal exer.
else Of power which they derived
solely from their greater physical
superiority.
Her plan is to restrict girls to their
frocks until the completion of their
education. Upon their entrance in
society they are to dress precisely
like males of similar condition, and
continue to wear male attire until the
day OF their marriage. Widows at
the end o. the mourning season are to
resume mems apparel, unless they
have determined never to marry
again. In effect this is a scheme to
distinguish marriagebc females from
married women and confirmed wild
Ows. Regarded thus, it has at least
one merit, and may on that account
claim the friendly countenance of the
bachelor fraternity. 1t would save
them vast deal of trouble in ascer.
tanning the domestic rank of a new
lady acquaintance. and prevent them
from committing the now common
error Of falling in love with married
women.-Holden's Magazine.
