The Hermit.

The following account of singular man
is taken from the Cecil (Md.) Democrat :
l have thought that some account OF
Andrew Job, the Hermit, so well known
in this part of the world, might not be
unacceptable to your readers.
He resides not far from the division
line between Maryland and Pennsylvania,
and in the latter State. He is stout
hearty man, about so years of age, far
mer but carries on his farming operations
rather different from his neighbors. He
digs his ground with mattock, and then
marks out with a wheelbarrow, picking
off all the loose stones, as he goes along.
He raises nothing but corn plants it, and
never works it afterwards, so you may
Judge that he does not raise very abun-
dant crop. He sows no grass seeds,
but mows his mcadowlands, and drags
his hay home on two poles,
He wears no clothing in summcr--but
daubs himself all over with mud, to guard
against the annoyance of flies. His habit
of going naked in the summer, has caus-
ed the hair to grow upon his body, and
like Esau, of old, may be said to be a
hairy man.. He never shaves his beard
which is about foot in length, and hangs
down from his chin in matted strings
He is said to be one of the strongest
of men, and his strength is attributed by
some to the fact of his not shaving. He
keeps one COW, and milks her himself
He gets no meal nor flower, but pounds
his corn instead of grinding it into meal
cooks all his own victuals, and lives, al
though secluded, yet apparently hap
| Ply life.

TO pay for army expenses alone and in
the semi-warlike state in which these
countries constantly are, it would cost at
least $1oo, 900, 900 each besides. The
army of England would cost $500, ooo. 900
that of Russia $500, ooo, 900 or perhaps
81 ,0oo, 900, 900 ; and even the small state
of Piedmont $5o,ooo,Ooo. That there
must be corruption or wretched misman-
agement is evident. But even supposing
the expenses of the United States army
could be reduced one third, still the hea-
Wv expenditure to the country caused by
a standing army, however small, and even
in profound state of peace, may be ga
thered from these figures.

KossUTH AT MoB1LE.-The Mobile Dali
ly Register does not seem to share the
nervousness of many of its Southern
brethren concerning Kossuth. Not hav-
ing the fear of Austria or of war before its
eyes, that paper thus speaks of his speech
at Mobile
"This speech will command the atten-
ton of every Southern reader. 1t is a
frank exposition of the doctrines of the
speaker-an irrefmta6le vindicdtion Of him
self and his cause from the studied and rsck-
less misrepresentation and aspersions Of his
opponents, a lofty, logical and unanswera-
bic plea for the great principles of Inter
national Law and Justice-and mastery
defence of State Rights in their broadcast
sense, and in their local adaptation to this
country, and particularly to our section
of the union.

THE STARRY BANNER ON THE N1LE.-In
the last lettar of Bayard Taylor, written
on the Nile, under date of January 4, he
relates the following incident. so fattering
to our national pride, showing that even
among semi barbarians the American Flag
is respected. "This afternoon" he
writes, after my baggage was taken on
board, and 1 had hoisted my flag on the
America, Jas have named my boat, the
Bey happened to ride down to the bank.
Seeing the flag, the first American ensign
on the Ethiopian Nile, he ordered fifty of
his Arnaouts down to the river, and salu-
ted it with repeated volleys of musketry.
AS sailed away returned the salute
with my pistols, and the soldiers returned
parting volley after me for good luck on
the voyage, but so rccklessly that 1 heard
the sharp whistle of the bullets quite close
to the vessel. felt more grateful to him
for this courtesy than for his kindness to
myself"

GT Abbott Lawrence, Minister to En-
gland, pays 81, 588 taxes yearly on prop
erty assessed at 81 ITO, 900, not one-third
of its value. All this was accumulated
by high tariffs, and having labor and a
home market at his own prices. Few la
borers or farmers ever got of him remu-
nerating prices. He lives at London in
the style of British noblemen, and would
assume title if he dared buy one ! A
fawning sycophant to the rich when poor,
he is now rich and dictatorial master to
all within his reach. American diploma
lists of both parties complain of his con-
duct towards them, and all who do bust
ness with him from this side of the Allan
tic. But he can fawn around the queen
and her toadios. Such was not Benjamin
Franklin when at the same court. Such
is not the conduct Of a true American or
patriot.
