DON'T GRuMBLE.-He is a fool that grum-
bles at every little mischance. Put the best
foot forward is an old aud good MAXIM
Don't run about and tell acquaintances that
you have been unfortunate /; people do not
like to have unfortunate men for acqualntan-

like a philosopher, and get rid Of them as
soon as you can. Poverty is like panther,

KossUTH.-The shores Of the Mediterra-
mean will re-echo tie shouts oiFreedom, when
it is announced that Kossu,h, the Hungarian
hero, will in all probability be carried from
his asylum in Turkey to the United States,
there TO take rank among people who have
enrolled his name among their londest recol>
lections, and who hold up TO their children the
example furnished in his mode! character and
sublime patriotism. 1t is not yet certain
whether The Sultan will agree 10 the offer of
the United States. A former offer made when
Gen. Taylor was President, was declined,
owing, so Mr.. Brown, cur late Consul to Con-
stantnoplc, believes, TO the opposition Of the
Austrian minister, resident in that city. 1t
is to be hoped, however, that the Sultan will
have no objection 10 the present proposal ; es-
pecially now that the time for the confinement
Of Kossuth and his companions, as limited by
HIMSELF will expire in May. If he should do
so, the world will be impressed by the simple
grandeur Of these patriotic hospitalities.
Favoring gales and reslstless steam will
carry on the brave vessel that bears this pre-
cious freight and when the heroic Magyar
warrior reaches our shores, THE PEOPLE will
receive him with open arms as their guest
and their brother. In this brave land he will
soon find field for his ambition, and a thea>
ire for that genus which shook the Senate of
Vienna with the thunders of its courage and
its tseloquence.-Te7e7aSylUani0a.

HAsTY LEGIsLATIoN.-The hasty and
precipitate manner in which business is often
dispatched in legislative assemblies, towards
the closing periods Of session, renders it
matter of wonder that absurdities, such as
the annexed paragraph relates to, do not
more frequently occur. 1t is reported Of a
king who was in the habit Of signing papers
carelessy and without reading them, that he
once signed a document decreeing his own
deposition. 1t would be well that Legislators
who enact laws without knowing what they
are voting for, should by such foolish natten-
ton to duty consign themselves to private
life:
NEGROES IN IOwA-A Cool JOhe.-An
incorrisibIe wag has succeeded admirably in
perpetrating capital joke upon the iowa Le-
gislature. In passing upon the bill prohibiting
negroes from entering that State, and affixlng
heavy penalties upon then when they do en-
ter it, ]. Z. Morton, Of Henry, who is both a
whig and a wag, moved an additional section,
/" that the bill should be in force from and ai-
ter its publication in the IOlca Free Demo.
crat," The Abolition paper at Mount Pleasant
The bill went back to the House so amended.
The amendment was accepted by the House,
and the bill passed. After while the idea be-
gan TO exc through the hair Of member that
the abolition organ might decline publishing
the law, and thereby kill it stone dead, and he
moved re- consideration, but failed. and the
bill was left to be sent to the Governor in
that crafty shape.

o. Some people are always behind hand
in this world: they cannot get along cam
not make both ends meet. They are mode
rately successful in business and they make
enough to supply the ordinary wants OF life,
and yet year after year they fall into increas-
ing embarrassments until they are ruInously
involved in debt The reason Of this is very
simple, and we might elaborate if at large 10
the edification of our numerous readers; but
as Mr.. Micaber has felicitously demonstrated
it, we will give his language as nearly as we
can recollect it.
''Annual income twenty pounds; annual
expenditure nineteen pounds, nineteen shil-
lings and sxpence-result, happiness.
"Annual income, twenty pounds; annual
expenditure, twenty pounds and sixpence-
result, misery"
We think it quite unnecessary to add a
word to this short, but lucid explanation.

phical notices were written Of her, but not the
events of her whole life. She was a more

become an inmate in the family Of General
Putnam, who commanded at West Point, and
in her drawings and groupings OF flowers gave
her father, who was at the head o the engi-
neer department, the plans and state of the
forts and delences. Col. Burr, who was aid
to Putnam, discovered the stratagem. She
fell a victim, it is said to his arts, and aller>

the peace in England, poor and neglected.
Her father died in New York, In 1871.

FRoM FL PAso Anp SANTA FE.-On the steamer
Louisiana, from IndianoIas came passenger Mr.. J.
p. Sanford, bearer Of despatches from Mr.. John r.
Bartlett, OF tho United States and Mexican Bound
ary Commissi0n.
Mr.. Sanford left 81 Paso ON the 30th Of Decem-
Der, and reports the expedition at San Lazovio,
beyond FL Paso, and all the members Of the party
in good health. The Sfl0st perfect and harmonious
understanding existed between the Mexican and
American Commissioners and their parties The
weather had been very cold, and the expedition
suffered much from that cause The Rio Grande
at times obstructed by ice. The Indians on the
Chihuahua route have been very troublesome.
Mr.. Sanford left yesterday evening for Washing
ton city, by the mail route
In addition to the above. the Austin (Texas)
papers give some particulars relative to FL Paso
MIR. Thomas ID. Russell, Santa Fe merchant,
arrived at Austin. on the 10Th ultimo, direct from
New Mexico, by way Of FL Paso, making the trip
from the latter place to San Antonio in eighteen
days.
The 4ih and 9th of December were the coldest
days felt at Santa Fe in the recollection of the
Oldest inhabitants. Five teamsters in the employ
of Waldo, Hall & Co. perished from the effects Of
cold within six miles Of the town. All cattle hogs
and poultry exposed to the weather were frozen to
death. Snow lay ON the ground two feet deep.
On his way from El Pas0 Mr.. Russell met the
Government train at the Painted Lamp, all pro-
gressng well. Captain MP Wakeman, wagon
master to the train, was killed by Captain Dobbns
at the Limpia. He lived six days after being shot.

Among the variety of suggestions that have been
offered with view to relieve the demand for small
change, there are two which merit immediate at
teation. The first is that our mints should coin
the largest possible number of gold dollars consist
ent with the second proposition, which is that all
the silver that is coined, until the pressure is re-
moved, should be in quarter-dolar and these
slighuy alloyed. if such course should be judged
necessary to keep them in the country. The ef-
feet Of these two measures, If carried Immediately
into effect, must be of tie most salutary nature;
since, the gold dollar and the silver quarter are
not generally current at their par value abroad,
they are not likely to be exported, and hence an
increased coinage Of them will relieve US from the
impending evil of an irresponsible shinplaster cur
rency. The half or three-quarter per cent. dete-
rioration in the quarters would be no bar to their
circulation at home, for IL is well known that the
Spanish quarters. which are now at small pre-
MUM. are much more dcteriorated. J.
