a work descriptive of Australia. has
the following neat-bit, touching rank:
"Apropos TO this subject, at late

the ocular acquaintance Of a lady in
a neighboring colony. who, on some
question OF female precedence, did
undoubtedly assert that she was the
rankest lady PRESENT.

with him, that colds are often taken

are often taken from cold air abroad,

a person heated with exercise going

have his pores suddenly contracted,
his perspiration stopped, and that

satisfactory answer, and ! have heard

violent cold which finally choked
him, by sitting for some hours at
window, with the cool air blowing

JENNY LIND.-We find the follow
ing bit Of gossip in the New York
Herald:
Jenny Lind is in very interesting
situation. II is stated that she was
staying with Benedict in London,
and would not appear in any public
capacity for some time to come
Jenny has been furious against some
ol the English journals, for copying
the observations upon her career in
the United States from the New
York papers; aud she talks generally
Of the United States newspapers
with great bitterness, always except
ing the anti.slavery, abolition clique.
She hates America and the Ameri-
cans, Notwithstanding all the money
she has received in this country
This is TO be accounted for by her
violent temper, which is not always
OF the sweetest kind.

TaIking Of business, the Boston

Talking Of business, the Boston
Bee sensibly, says
The way to do business, keep up
with the times and be somebody, is
to advertise. And, as a matter Of
course, the way to run behind hand,
sink into obsoleiism. and be nobody,
is not to advertise. The logic OF
both propositions is straight and
legitimate.
The man in these days who sup
pose ne can get along without put
ting his sign in the newspapers, will
wake up one Of these fine mornings
and ind himself the victim Of a very
big mistake. The matter OF adver-
Using is no longer an experiment,
but a tried fact; Just as much so as
the plainest thing in mathematics.
He who supposes that the world will
hunt him up when buried in shad-
ows. while others are dashing out in
the broad sun light, has yet to learn
the rudiments Of success, penetrate
the wind Of victory.
The more publicity business has,
the more it is put into peoples eyes
and ears, the better it will be for the
man doing it. Hence in the lest
regulated and largest fortune making
establishments there is set apart a
certain amount for advertising, Just as
much so as for paying bills and meet
ing notes. 1t is rightly considered
one Of the necessities OF a successful
trade. To try to Go without would
be almost equivalent to having no
stock.
Advertise If you want business,
and don't advertise if you wish to
avoid it. The receipt is a never
failing one.

AsrRoNoMIoAL.-The unus I
spectacle is now presented Of all the
visible planets being above the hori>
zon early in the night; and they are
so distributed as TO mark the line of
the ecliptic, or the plane OF their own
and the earth's orbit, with distinct
ness. With Venus in the West,
said to be more brilliant at present
than at any time within the last ten
years, and Jupiter, with his usual
splendor in the East, with The "lesser
lights" Mars and Saturn, between
them, the arrangement Of the planet
airy orbs affords an interesting view
to all who take pleasure in such con-
temptations. Mars now appears
much reduced in size and brilliancy,
on account of the relative position of
himself and earth in their respective
orbits, but still retains his ruddy
glow. The pale white line OF Saturn
makes him appear like a star Of the
second magnitude. These, with the
fine consultations Of the Scorpion,
Lyra, and the Greater Bear, all visi-
BILE at present, make the contempla-
ton OF the "starry heavens" interest
ing and instruclive.-N. Y. Tribune.

ORIGIN oF THE WORD "WHIG."-
In the sixteenth century, there arose
in England a party opposed TO the
king, and in favor OF a republican
form OF government, in which the
people would have a voice. The
party adopted as their motto, "We
hope in God" The initials or first
letter OF each word combined, read,
"Whig," and were to name OF desig-
nate the party. Thus the word
"Whig," originally meant, opposi-
lion 10. kings and monarchies, and
friendship Tor the very form Of gov
ernment under which we exist. It
originated in England a century and
a half before our revolution.

HoBBs' LocK.-A correspondent
of the Philadelphia North American,
under date Of London, June 25ih,
says:
Some months ago q reward Of
two hundred guineas was offered by
Mr.. Hobbs to any locksmilh who
succeeded in picking the Celebrated
American Bank Lock, which is now
generally known in England as
"Hobbs' Lock" The money was
deposited in the Bank of England BY
Mr.. Hobbs. and several Intellectual
attempts have been made by Eng
lish locksmiths TO pick the American
lock. Abont ten days ago, person
applied TO Mr.. Hobbs FOR one Of his
locks, for the avowed purpose OF
picking it. He was skilful English
mechanic.And he appeared to have a
great confidence in his ability to
accomplish his selfimposed task. A
room was freely granted him at Mr..
Hobbs establishment in Cheapside,
and day after day he labored inces.
sanity. After he had worked one
,ceek he abandoned his task, and
when he returned the lock he re-
marked, "Mr. Hobbs. your American
lock cannot be picked" Il may
now be said that America can beat
England in this important article o.
