The St. Louis Republican says that
"since the first OF April, three hundred
and nine wagons have crossed the Terra

an average, five persons to wagon, on

LADIES IN BnEEcHEs. The New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia In
quircr, who crossed the Jersey City fer
ry, on Monday, in company with a la
dy wearing the newly adopted costume
says:
The costume was of a dark grey
worsted goods; the dress reaching Just
below the knees, and the Turkish trou-
sers of the same goods fastened around
the ankles. She wore kind Of sack
overcoat, and on her head was placed a
handsome straw hat, with broad brim.
She had very pretty looking feet, which

giving them quite neat appearance.
do not, however, like it altogether, so
well as the old fashion. 1t does very
we'll when the ladies are determined to
wear the brooches at home, but it does
not look very etfeminate to wear them
in the street. A handsome dress Of the
prevailing style, and those which sweep
the streets after all, is the most beau
titul in which the female form can be
attired.

TIE CONTEST IN MlsslsslPrl.-We
see in the last Jackson (AliSs.) Flag of
the Union, that the Hon. II. S. Foote,
Gen. John D. Freeman, and Gen. ]. N.
Davis, the Union candidates for Gov
ernor, and for Congress for the State at
large, and for the Third District, in Mis-
sissippi, have published lists of appoint
ments to address their fellow citizens of
all parties, which appointments ran up
to the middle of July. This certainly
betokens very warm canvass.

LATER FROM MExlco.-By the arrival
of the schooner Bonita, al New Orleans,
from Vera Cruz, dates have been receiv-
ed from the city Of Mexico to the Goth
ult. The news Is not important. The
Congress was engaged in attempts to
make some arrangement with the public
creditors. There is some probability
that an attempt will be made TO procure
loan from the United States.
The State of Mexico has passed Sc
we're law against certain kinds of gamb-
ling which have hitherto been tolera-
ted.
The Indians continue their deprada-
tons in Durango and other States in the
North. Near Cahutillo, few weeks
since, they made descent upon large
stock-rasing hacienda, and alter killing
all the persons having charge of the place,
drove of larg" herd of cattle and other
stock.
In Tampico the arrival of the United
States, under the temporary license grnt-
ed by the Mexican Government, was a
matter of public congratulation, the No
ticioso saying that il affords the people
better bread than they have been accus-
toned to of late.

Mr.. Madison, in writing to Alexan-
der Hamilton in July, 1883, when the
question Of conditional notification of
the U. S. Constitution was before the
New York Convention, said "The Con-
stitution requires an adoption an toto
and forever" and as such it was adopt
ed by the several States. Ample pro-
vision was made that new States might
come into the Union; but no provision
whatever that old States might 60 out.

LOUIS XVIrH's soN.-The identity of
princess, as well as their paternity, gives
the French tribunals great deal of trou-
bic. 1t is not yet certain what became
Of Louis XF's eldest son. The Vim
conte de kichamont has suit now pend
ing, in which heis to prove himself the
rightiul heir to France. A trial is to
come oTto-morrow between the heirs of
Louis XVI. NJ. Jules Favre is attorney
on behalf Of persons who claim that the
boy Louis the Seventeenth, was deliv-
cred by the convention, on certain con-
dtons, to Charlotte, the Nendean chief.
What became Of him afterwards we may
learn from the trial, which mean to at.

SAD DEER HvNT.-Two brothers, n:

SAD DEER HyNT.-Two brothers, ma
med Rodgers, living in White county,
Ia, recently went out to hunt deer
Seeing one at distance, they separa-
ted, one taking one direction and the
other another. When they arrived in
the immediate vicinity Of where they
saw the deer, one of the brothers discov-
ergd something crawling in the grass
and willows, and suppoaing it to be a
deer, he fired--a scream followed-he
ran to the spot and found his brother a
corpse. The ball had pierced him
through the heart.

Singular Sentence.-A man named
VIM. Fulton, who had already und er-
gone the penalties Of his sentence
in two cases for passing counterfeit
notes on the bank Of the Delaware city,
has just been again convicted in New
Castle county, Of that State, on two
more indictments. The court sentenced
him pay fine Of $500; be placed in the
pillory for the space of one hour; under
go an Imprisonment for the space of
three calendar months, and to wear a
Roman I, of a scarlet color, six inches
long and two inches broad, on the out
side of his coat between the shoulders
for two years from the expiration of his
Imprisonment.
Coop FOR PRENr1cE.-The wag of the
Louisville Journal thus wittily accounts
for Jenny Lind leaving that city, with.
out dispensing her charitable gifts:
She went about Louisville, and See
ing every body fat and we'll fed and hap
pv, she put her purse in her pocket.
She saw no wretchedness and no indica-
tons OF it here. We have no doubt that
the contrast between the two (Clncin-
nati) cities struck her forcibly. We be-
lieve that Louisville is the only city that
the "divine Jenny ever visited in which
she did not find some objects that ap-
pealed to her charity. She is right
in believing that Louisville stands in
no need Of charity, as our people are the
the most comfortable people in the
world, eating more good food, wearing
more good clothes, and living in far bet
ter houses than any other people.

LONGEST RAILRoAD.-The Erie is the
longest in the world-467miles. That
between Moscow and st. Petersburg, in
Russia, is next in length, being 400
miles. The Russian government IS
about beginning road from Warsaw to
St. Petersburg, distance of more than
100 miles, of which Major I, s. Brown,
late ofthe Erie road, will be Chief En-
gineer. 1t is note worthy that the
American great enterprise is by pri-
vate company; the Russian is built by
Government.

1.-THE prisoners of the Boston City
Jail, in recently petitioning the clergy
to come and preach to them, remarked
and the observation strikes us forcibly-
that they will not only be spiritually
benefited, but orderly--more so than
is customary in some places of worship
for, they will not get up and go out
before the preacher is through!

REVOLUTIONARY FEELING IN CuBA-

REVOLUTIONARY FEELING IN CUBA-
Spanish OpanionS.-The Savannah Re-
publican has some translations Of ex-
tracts from Spanish letters from Havana,
received by the Isabel. They come by
private hands. After vouching for the
entire truth of its assertions, one dated
the Sth inst, says:
Hourly, nay minutely, have we been
anxiously waiting to hear the joyful It'd
ings of your being landed on the isle, or
at least on your way. Don't believe you'll
get no aid on the island. Many Spanish
officers and soldiers, independent of the
Creoles, will join the Patriots as soon
as they land; and could |, without en-
dangerngth the lives ofmany ofmy friends
here, would give the names of some in
huential and wealthy planters on the isle,
who have pledged their lives, fortunes;
and sacred honor in the contest-such
names as would make the throne of her
Royal Mojesty tremJle. The day will
come, and that too ere long, when cuba

suspicion is thrown out, they will suffer,
and that terribly.
