ton made by Mr.. Janney, that he wished
'to throw married ladies overheard" as
follows: E.a... a..
81 shall not cease to cherish the belief
that my wife and child ren are citizens of
this Commonwealth, although not permits
ted, as they ought not to be permitted, to
mingle in the scenes to which | have allud-
ed. Yet they are citizens, and they ale
not unrepresented. They are represented
through the medium Of those they are cons
nected with; the incapable and immature
child, through the father; the wife through
the husband. They are not ''thrown over=
board" For the satisfaction of rny friend
from Loudoun, (Mr JanneyC whose SEN
sbilities seem to be disturbed, | would in
form him, that so far from ''throwing her
oyerboarl," sase throao her auhere she
ought to be-im the arms Of her has

to handle and sheaths. is fashioned into the
shape of silver serpent. When sheathed
it forms complete circle; but when drawn,
the exquisite temper Of the steel causes ii
to straigahten at once. Some pnirs Of pis.
tolls in wrought iron, domascend over gold
ground, are worked into magnificent de-
signs, and are equal to the art of Cellini
Splendid specimens Of Spanish embroidery
are shown; on seeing which. it is said thai

may throw away their needles and hooks
