of eight members Of the State SEN

II Miss. Lind's private apartments at
the Clifton open upon the balcony, facing
the river, by French windows, reaching
to the floor. To prevent unseemingly
intrusions, against which experience has
taught her to guard, she had suspended a
sheet against the window, which extcm-
pore curtain, not being sufficiently long,
barely reached to within foot of the
ground, leaving that space open TO sight
seerS.
An exceedingly fashionable party, from
some of the cities, was staying at the Cliff
ton, who had, by their exclusiveness and
pretentions, excited great remark. A
mong them was young man and two
very pretty ladies'. Late on Sunday eve
ming, when the balconies were apparently
deserted by all but them, these three ex-
clusives strutted toward the window Of
Jenny's room, and, seeing no one near,
paid their homage to the cynosurc by
dropping on their hands and knees and
peeping under the curtain! While in
this caves dropping position, gentleman
well known in this city, passed with his
wife upon his arm, and, his good sense
being shocked at the paltry exhibition, he
remarked as if to his companion, but loud
ly enough for the spying fashionablcs to
hear
Good Heavens, my dear! those young
ladies must be very anxious to see the
gentlemen in that room prepare for bed!
The tinney scream and rapid evasion
which succeeded upon this well put re-
buke, cannot be written, but VIC arc as
surcd that they occasioned considerable
mirth at the time .''-Bud alo Cour.

ROW OLD BEN HARDIN GOT
HIS WIFE.

Romance is sometimes embodied in a
fact six inches long. Old Ben Hardin, of
Kentucky, got his wife by rich and
funny stratagem.
In the days of his young manhood, he
was work hand on farm of a wealthy
landholdcr i'll that State, and there sprang
up between the young laborer and the
old mans daughter. what is often called a
secret attachment. BY the by, attach
ments are generally secret. Ben and
Dulcinea, made up Matters in proper
time, without the knowledge or consent
of his intended fa,hcr-in-law. Indeed the
old man had never suspicioned that the
aspirations of the youth were tending to-
wards an alliance with his family-and if
it ever had occurred to him, he would
have spurncd the thought. Ben was
aware of his aristocratic notion, and of the
existence of almost insurmountable obiec-
tions to the match. So, one day, consult
ing the ingenuity Of his nature, he devils
cd the ways and means to bring it about.
Going to the old man, he told him, that
unfortunately, he had conceived a liking
for the daughter of wealthy farmer, in
the neighborhood- it was impossible
to gain the consent of the girls father
that he loved her, and she loved him-and
asked what course he would advise him
to pursue.
Won't she run away with you?' said
the cd man.
'She might, if could make the arrange
ments. Do you think it would be honor
able for me to take advantage that way p
Certainly replied the originator of
this plot. There would be nothing i'm
proper
Ben kept at him, and SO enlisted the
old gentlemen that he made him tender
of his horse and buggy, and a few dimes
to carry out the clopement. The place of
meeting was arranged. and-reader, you
know what followed. Ben run off with
the old mans daughter, fact which the
old fellow snuffed in the next mornings
breeze, and one which chagrlned him not
little. Winding up as novels DOZEN
and his wife were forgiven.

THE WEsr, WHAT IT WAS AND 1s.-
A telegraphic dispatch was received at
St. Louis on the 26th ult., from Kansas.
which is near the western boundary of
Missouri, adjoining the Indian territory.
ST. Loui, and Independence are also in
telcgraphic communication. A continu-
Gus line of telegraphic wire now extends
from the verge Of civilization Oh the West
crn frontier, (east of the Rocky Noun
tains, to the northeastern extremity of
the United States. Abiding to this fact,
the St. Louis Intelligencer says:
We have not passed the meridian of
life; and yet within our recollection all
the territory west of the Ohio was COM
paratively wilderness, inhabited by a
few squatters with now and then a small
village, consisting of tavern, black
smith shop, "grocery,' and perhaps a
retail store or two. Louisville and Gin
c;nnati were small Insignificant towns.
while st. Louis was only thrifty village.
driving a profitable trade in Buffalo robes
and Beaver skins. At that day, to the
people of the East, Ohio and Kentucky
were ''the West;" while in those States
'the Vest was understood to be the
comparatively unexplored region west of
the Ohio. But since then Indiana has
grown to be great State, with its sur
face checkered all over with railroads
Illinois has now $4,000 souls within its
territory, and is marching with giant
strides on the road to wealth and great
ness. Missouri has also 100000 inhabi-
tants, and within few years, will have
double that number. Iowa, too, which
was the abode of savages, has since enter
ed the family of States, and will soon bt
one of the most powerful among them.-
The same may be said of Wisconsin and
Michigan; and even now we have new
! states in embryo, still farther west and
north. Minnesota and Nebraska will
soon be adding new stars TO our national
flag, whilst Utah and New Mexico will
not linger on the way.

TURTLES IN BArH-ruD.--An unmar-
ricd gent, of Steubcnville, who was in the
habit of bathing in a barrel back of one Of
the principal hotels, the Herald says, made
narrow escape of losing one Of his mem
bers, toe, or something else, on Friday
night. 1t appears that the landlord du-
ring the day had, inconsidcrately, placed
in the vessel, some half score Of water
turtles, and our hero, not being -apprised
Of the fact, plunged into the barrel, but
had scarcely touched the bottom, and come
in contact with his unwelcome comrades,
when the inmates of the house were at
tracted to the spot, by cries Of "a hoo. a
hoo! ha-o-o-oo!" A negro servant hard
by came TO his rescue-aided him out of
the barrel, pale and frightened but was
relieved from high state Of feverish ex-
citement by the assurances that all was
safe, when he admonished the landlord,
that although he might as a mattc:. Of ac-
commodation, accept Of bed fellow, to
save him in the future from the company
Of water turtles in his bath tub!

CUBA The Pensacola Gazette learns
by the steamer Vixen, that the Captain
General Of Cuba has given orders to the
Spanish squadron, not to molcst any Of the
invading forces at sea, as he does not
wish rupture with the United States.-
1t has also been announced, that Vice
Admiral Sir George Seymour, Comman-
der-in-Chief on the North American sta
ton, is soon to sail with strong force
for Jamaica. These two items have more
connection than might at first secm.-
Spain avoids all war with the United
States; but, we should be surprised, if
that nation were not assailed, if necessary
to retain the government Of Cuba, with
the whole disposable military force of
Great Britain. England. it should be re-
membered, is an old ally of Spain. The
United States could not say word against
such assistance, especially, if the island
is invaded by our own citizens, in viola
ton of national faith. We look upon the
ultimate success Of the Lopez party as
impossible.
