EDITOR OF THE MOUNTAIN SENTINEL:

Europe is dull-so say the papers brought
by the last steamer from England. \ friend
writes me from Paris, that the rejection, by the
Assembly, of the scheme for the revision Of the
Constitution, is not the only blow which has be-
fallen the ambitious President of France His
financial arrangements have never been Of the
most satisfactory nature. Recently, a crisis in
the money market threatens to disturb the Sc
renity of his family circle; the young English
Lady, who has for so many months been UiSiting
at the Elysee having embarked in extensive
speculatons at the Stock Exchange. One fine
morning, she found the market falling, herself
loser, to the tune of $50, 900, without cent
wherewith to pay it. CONSERVATION filed the
Presidential domicile, and the departure of the
fair defaulter for the land of her birth was only
prevented by his excellency, Napoleon the Little,
submitting to an 'excruciating shave"
a few days after, the Paris paper, La Steele,
was seized for publishing the following para
graph, in an article entitled La Seance: ''The
President is much embarrassed in his pecuniary
affairs, having to pay, at the Bourse, debts
achich are not has oaOn."
La Steele is charged with the offence of eek

Mr. B. NJ. Kerr, of Pittsburg, closed his wri-
ting school on Thursday evening last At an
election held by his scholars, q committee was
selected to examine their specimens of penman-
ship, and determine to whom the premium
should be awarded for the greatest Improvement
in writing under his tuition The committee
made the following report
''That they have carefully examined all the
specimens of writing presented for their in
spection, Numbering twenty-ive) and are
pleased to notice marked improvement in the
handwriting of each and every scholar since
they have been under his charge, thereby fully
demonstrating the capacity of Mr. Kerr as a
competent teacher of penmanship, and exhibit
ing the laudable exertions made by,his pupils to
emulate him and become proficient in the art
of arts
''That the writer of specimen No. 90 is en-
titled to the premium, IAN American Eagle,
beautifully and skilfully drawn, on heavy pa
per, by their instructor, and in awarding the
same, the committee has been actuated bv the
mere desire to do justice, and would respectfully
say to those who have been unfortunately dis
appointed at not receiving the prize, that their
worthy efforts to secure it deserve the highest
praise

CYRUS L. PERsHING, Vice Pres't
-4'edTe00 j. Rhey, Secretary.
The specimens were presented to the oom-
mittee, numbered, with the names of the writer's
thereon, so that there could be no favoritism
shown. Mr.. Kerr announced Mr. Timothy
Brophy, as the lucky gentleman. Mr. 3. kindly
expressed his acknowledgements for the honor
conferred upon him, and moved vote of thanks
to AIr. Kerr for the kindness and attention
shown to his scholars, to which there was not
a dissenting voice. In return Mr. Kerr briefly
stated the pride he felt in being associated with
such a clever and gentlemanly school-that he
had had delightful visit to their mountain
homes-that the remembrance Of their Kindness
should always occupy place within his s.heart
of hearts"-and hoped that a long life of hap
piness and usefulness might be theirs After a.
number of humorous songs by Messrs Kerr,
Carmon and Riley, the scholars and visitors de-
parted for home well pleased with the whole
affair.

Gov. Johnston still NegIectIng EEis
Duties.

The travelling Governor" says the Carlisle
Volunteer, is still neglecting the duties of his
Office, which he was sworn to perform, and foT
which he is paid So day out of the peoples
Treasury. He is travelling from county to
county, and harangueing his :. .fellow-citizcns
from the stump. For the first time in the his
tory of Pennsylvania we now behold the Execu-
tive officer acting the.part of political declai-
mer, and, by cunning and misrepresentation,
attempting to deceive the people into his sup
port. Gov. Johnston, if he has no respect for
himself, should at least respect the high office
he holds, and return to his duties, for perform
ing which he is paid from the taxes of the peo-
pie. But, his anxiety for Office will prevent him
doing this. He will find his mistake, however,
and when he attempts to convince the people
that he is faithful public officer, they will be-
gin to inquire how it is that he can be faithful
to his trust, and yet be absent from his office
for three consecutive months at a time?
Ii is strange that Gov. Johnston should even
for moment suppose that he can be reelected.
He is, in our opinion, spending a great deal of
time, great deal of the peoples money, and
subjecting himself to considerable Inconvenience
and all for nothing. He might as well attempt
to force the Susquehanna to run up stream, as to
try to turn the people from Col. Bigler to him
self. He is not acquainted with the sentiments
Of the masses, or he would soon see how hope
less his chance of success is. The people of
Pennsylvania arc for the Constitution and the
Union, and will never, by their votes, elevate an
avowed abolitionist to the first Office within
their gift. Nor viii it be forgotten that Gov.
Johnston, no longer ago than last winter, favored
the passage of a MAMMOTH LOAN BILL, introduced
into the Senate, and supported by the FEEDER
alists, by which ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS
was to be added to our State debt, by borrowing
from the banks that amount in the shape of ir-
redeemable shinplasters, which would have de-
voured the substance of the people for an in
definite period! Thanks to Democratic House
of Representatives, this attempt to increase the
State debt, was promptly voted down.
That Col. Bigler viii be elected Governor, and
that too by a sweeping majority, we regard as
entirely certain. No stratagems, no efforts to
blind the people, can prevent it. His majority
will be increased from the fact of Gov Johnston
neglecting his duties to attend to electoneering
This is the way the people have Of rebuking a
faitlless public servant. Col. BIS majority can
not be less than - or Is, 900, and may reach
10000 To doubt this at this time would be Q
reflection upon the sterling sense and true pa
triotism of the people of Pennsylvania

Col. Bigler before the People.
FITZROY.

Cur esteemed candidate for Governor, says
the PnnsylUanian, has begun new era in Demo
cratic politics in this State. His reception in
all quarters is most gratifying. Indeed in all
our numerous letters from our friends, there is
but one sentiment. His appearance, his man.
ncrs, his style of oratory, and his calm and con-
vincing arguments, all go to show his capacity.
his adaptation to popular speaking, his know
ledge Of the people, and his deservings as can
6idate for favor. He spoke twice in Columbia
county, ON the 11th; in Wilkesbarre, Luzerne
county, the 18th; at Carbondale, same coun-
ty, on the 18th; at Tunkhannock, Wyoming
county, on the 18th; at Towanda, Bradford
county, on the 10th; and will speak at Montrose,
Susquehanna county, on the 18th; arriving
here in time for our Great Meeting of the 2Ist
In all his meetings he has been well and nobly
sustained by the first talent in the Democratic
party. The eloquent Bonham spoke with him
at Bloomfield, Perry county; the able and radi-
cal Shriner and the energetic Hickok in Union
county; Senator Buckalew followed up his
speech in Columbia county, with characteristic
ability; while at Luzerne, Hon. George W.
Woodward, presided, and made most states
Wright, who powerfully supported Col Bigler
in his positions. Judge Woodward is out for
the campaign, and will speak in Union county
on the 10th of September. The fire is up; the
old Democratic feeling is aroused, and glorious
victory awaits us. What is better than all,
moreover, is to know and to feel that Col. Big
Ter has changing platform. He talks the
same doctrine in all quarters, and with the same
boldness and frankness. One extract from the
mass of letters we have received, to show how
Col. Bigler 'stakes'' with the people, viii be
interesting. 1t is from friend in Columbia
county:
BLooMsBURG, Aug. u, 1851.
have delayed answering you a day or two
in order to write after the visit of Col. Biglel
among us. We had meetidgs on yesterday af
ternoon and evening, at the Court House, a
which he spoke with most salutary effect upor
the public mind. His visits at various points il
the State will repel none from his support ant
will attract thousands. He carries with him al
air of manliness and honesty which awaken con
fidence, and his speeches are characterized by
their solidity and earnestness. The introduc
ton by Johnston, in 184S, of the system o
stumping the State, will react upon him power
fully in 1851, in the enhanced labor of the cam
paign and the additional bitterness of his defeat
Col Bigler will undoubtedly receive a vote be
yond our party strength in this county, and il
others adjoining US.

The Esioomer Dress Abroad.

Several ladies at Harrowgate, England, have
adopted the Bloomer Costume, and there is so
much truth in the following article, taken from
the Liverpool Times while alluding to the sub
Ject, that its perusal may benefit many of the
subscribers Of the '.Sentinel." The Times
says:
In dress and in manners, mankind arc so
much the slaves of habit, that we are too often
induced to vote as absurd and ridiculous what
might appear, on a'closer investigation, to be
both rational and necessary. The modesty, so
much and SO deservedly priced in the female
character, causes many absurd anomalies in the
habits of the sexes which press heavily ON the
disposition and even on the health of women

outdoor exercises, inures the system to hardi-

tary within doors, and they suffer corresponding
~ In everything that is not positively vicious,
no good reason can be assigned why the outdoor
amuscmcnts of the sexes, whether in bicb or in
humble life, should not be pretty uniform; but
they viii never even distantly approximate until
the world ceases to dislike what is called, by
way OF approbium, masculine woman. Such a
designation would alone sour the affections of
the most sentimental lover. We arc too prone
to associate beauty with delicate form and a
languid expression
