SCENES INILLINOlS.

This State has n sort of heterogeneous

self complacent JohnBull,the canny Scot t
the Israelte, the mercurial Frenchman,
the frolicsome I:ishman, and the ever
present, active Yankee, together with
the Buckeye from Ohio, the Hoosier from
Indiana, and the generous Southerner-
all are herein about equal proportions,
and give about their equal quota 10 the
character ofthe State, and supply choice
variety Of their peculiar expressions 10
its language, The Hooser "allows," the
Southerner "suspicions," the Buckeye
"recons," while the Yankee "calculates,' -
and the Missourlan "opinious.'' The
State has no settled. character; lis diff.

to harmonize and settle together. So

The Yankee here is the same as the

VALUABLE AND EAsy.--A cure that
costs neither money nor trouble, is yalua-
bic. Chambers Journal says Of "corns." "
"There is, no doubt, some quackery
in The corn doctors trade, but there is
more ignorance. For the benefit Of both
him and his patients, we will now disclose
a secret which will relieve humanity from
a load OF misery, not the less difficult TO
bear, that il is unpitied or ridiculous.--
The cause Of corns, and likewise Of the
torture they occasion, is simple friction;'
and, to lessen friction, you have only to,
use your toe as you do in like circum-,
stances coach wheel-lubricate it with
some substance. The best and clesnl-
est thing to use is little sweet oil, rub
bed upon the affected part (afier the corn
is carefully pared) with the finger, which
should be done on getting up in the
morning, and just before stepping into
bed atnight. In few days the pain
will diminish, and in a few days more it,
will cease, when the nightly applications
may be discontinued. The writer of this
paragraph suffered from these horrible
excrescences for years, He tried all sorts
ofiEfallble things, and submitted TO the
manipula,ions Of the conductor, but all
in vain; the more he tried 10 Danish them,
the more they wouldn't 60; or if they did
go, (which happened once or twice under
the strong prevailment Of caustic,) they
we're always sure to return with ien.fold
venom. Since he tried the oil, somo
months ago, he has had no pain, and is
able to take as much exercise as lie
chooses. Through the influence Of this
mild persuasive, one ol the most iniqui-
tous Of his corns has already taken itself
off entirely; the others he still pares at
rare intervals; but, suffering no incouve-
nience whatever from them, he has not
thought it necessary TO have recourse TO
caustic-which sometimes If not care
fully used, and vinegar and water applied
at once to The toe, causes almost as
much smart as the actual cautery. ft

The following remarkable effusior from
the late William Motherwell, il understand
ingly read, is enough to melt the heart OF

compass Of human anguage.-Freeman.

The TRoUsER RAeE.-Almost every
newspaper we open contains some para.
graph on this invasion of our costume
by the ladies. The report Of the pro.
ceedihgs Of a convention says:
"Mrs. Burleigh and the two Misses
Burleigb, the wife and daughters of the
poet BuTleigh entered the meeting. They
were dressed in the new costume that is
now being adopted by the ladies'. The
upper garment was close fitting, and
reached TO the knees. Underneath were
loose trousers, reaching to the ancle; the
feet enclosed in buskns, and gipsy straw
hats crowned all. The eyes Of the meet
ing were Immediately turned towards the
ladies. They walked up leisurely through
the aisle, took their seats upon the plat
form, and entered into conversation with
Abby Kelly, George Thompson, and
William Lloyd Garrison. s'

Why Nor?-The present British Min

in the House Of Commons. According
TO all the precedents they ought to resign,
but still they hold Office, M
Under these circumstances il is not
the Ministers who Govern the Empire,
but the Hocse Of Commons. The former
no longer introduce and carry through
their own measures, but simply execute
the measures of the latter. They are
thus bat substantially in the position
occupied by the Ministry in the United
States. Ii is an executive, an adminis-
tra,ivo, but not governing position. H
This,is change fiom the old English
system, but as parties are now divided,
it is inevitable, and possibly may be per-
manent, from The same cause. Its result
is 10 render the Government essentially
more democratic in its nature. But we
are by no means sure that il would be a
worse Government, for that. All things
in this world suffer change, and why NOT

sabbath School CelebratiOns.

We forgot, last week, to notice two Sab
bath School Celebrations that we attended
on the 4th inst The first one was held at
Tippecanoe, in this county. About 500
Scholars and Teachers were in the process
sion. The reading and speaking was good,
and the refreshments were excellent. Every
thing passed offin fine style
The second one was held in the afternoon
ofthe same day at Westchester, Tuscarawas
county. A large procession of Sabbath
School Scholars and Teachers were formed,
about $50. The speaking was
excellent, and the refreshments were just
such as the ladies of Westchester are capa-
bic of preparing.
The Sabbath School Celebration in Cadil
passed off very fine. There was a respecta-
Bile turn out of the different Schools. Tho
speaking and singing was well calculated tt
inspire animation into the parents, teacher.
and children of Cadiz.
