TOM MARSHALL.

Since the death of Sargent s. Prentiss, we
doubt whether there is more brilliant man in
this country than atom Marshall" of Kentucky.
His misfortune is that he is as eccentric and
wayward as he is brilliant. We find the follow
ing Characteristic anecdote told of him by Ken
lucky paper;
We learn that the Hon. II. F. Marshall, who is
elected to the House of Representatives of Kentucky
from Woodtord county, made speech the night
of his election, in which he gave notice that he dis
solved all conneXon with the Democratic party and
from thenceiorth resumed his old position as Wing.
The circumstances of the avowal, as they have been
related to u.s. are characteristic and amusing. Mr. Mar
shall has been acting for some years with the Demo-
Gratis. Ia this race, however, he independent
doubtless he owes his election mainly TO Democratic
votes. Alter the result was known Monday night
Mr.. Barnes, his competitor made short speech, in
which he SAID that he considered il no disgrace to be
defeated by man of Mr.. Marshalls splendid abilities
Alter Mr. b. concluded, MIR. Marshal spoke and paid
some beautiful and eloquent compliments to Mr. Barnes
He then said he wished to make out an account
current with the Democratic party. He acknowledged
that he owed his election TO them, and set himself
down as debtor tor that. Bat he had supported Mir
Polk and otherwise done the party some service Tor
that he claimed credit and called upon the democrats

FoKEIGN TRIBUTE TO THE GENIUS OF A VIRGIN
1AN.--rhe London correspondent Of the Phadel-
phia North American says:
4 trial of few agricultural implements hitch

made Yesterday at Mr. Mechi's model farm, at
Tiptreeheath. Col Johnson, of New York, was
present on the part of the United States. The
American reaping machines attracted much at

only one machine worked 10 advantage This
was MeCormcks. The Times sent reporter

this machine, when tried under more favorable
circumstances, there cannot be doubt; and as TO
its advantages, they were sufficiently Indicated
yesterday by the loud cheers which burst from
the large body of farmers assembled.

THE LATE FOREIGN NEWS,
THE BLoOMER CosTUMEIN ENGLAND.
[rER STEAMSHIP AFRIoA.1

Wilmer \ Smiths European Times says;
Whatever excites attention the other side OF the
Atlantic must necessarily attract interest here, and, in
the absence OF more striking facts, discussion is
provoked at home about the "B conner costume OF
the ladies, ana the Acknowledgement of womeh." The
subject is highly transatlantic, and involves questions
OF The deepest political and social gravity. 1t seems
to have been taken up in certain parts OF the United
States without any apparent mixture OF that serious
comcaly which forms SO peculiar a trait in the
American character, and which, in this country,
comes under the designation of bathos
With regard to the "Boomer costume !" we occa-
sionay hear OF its breaking out as used to be said of
the Cholera in certain parts of our own country At
Harrowgate tor instance, several ladies' are said to have
adopted the short jacket unc and the garb for the
extremities recognized as the female costume in Tur-
key.
In picturesque effect, we readily conceive that
fine woman, arrayed, will be seen 10 yery great adj
vantage, from the full development of her personal
charms. Butfgure an essential element in costume,
and, nature is not equally bountiml in this respect
to all her children modern taste has contriyed app
hide, by the art the tailor and the martna-
maker, the of physical development under which
many persons labor Little doubt exist that sadly
too little attention is paid by parents to the physical edu.
cation OF their offspring, and, if the new female cos
tune be the means OF concentrating attention more
closely upon this important subject, the invasion of
which we hear so much will bring in its train some
unmstakabe advantages

We have seen one of the new coupon bonds
of the james River and Kanawha Company,
guaranteed by the State of Virginia. 1t is a
beautiful specimen of engraving, and is orna-
mented with vignettes of GEORGE WASHINGTON,
JOHN MARSHALL, JOSEPH e. CABELL, and JOHN
Y. MASON. The likeness of Judge MARSHALL,
whose name, as we'll as that of WASHINGTON,
is indelibly impressed upon the history of the
improvement, seems to be a good copy of one
of the best portraits, and the ikenesses of Mr.
CABELL and Judge MASON, the former and present

These bonds being guaranteed by the State,
possess, of course, all the security of the State
bonds, and the same advant age in having cou-
pons attached Guaranteed bonds have, however,
generally been rated, lutte lower than the

The Southern Press maintains that more crimes
are committed in England than in France or any

count upon British cooperation more confidently
than upon the sympathy of the Southern States
