The Cincinnati Times remarks that tne s'a't'e
against using profane language has been revived
at Memphis, Tennessee, and applies to all parues
of every sect and color, and will DO about as
much good as the same law does IN ONO; ana that
IL YOU want to know how much that is, tell fish
butcher that his bass are getting offensive.
We have no doubt that such law can do but
little in the way of preventing profanity in a
Christian land; but can it do anything? If so,
enact it, There are but few boys on our streets
but few gentlemen in public places, but few SER
wants in hall or kitchen, and no rufians, who do
not every hour oftheir lives, swear and plaspheme
most UNANIMOUSLY, absurdly vulgarly, ridiculously,
,ontemptbly, and disgustingly. Truly religious
ner, of course, are exceptions; but it is wonder
ful that any man has not religion enough to keep
him from SO foul, degrading, and vile practice.
Every State should have on its statute-books
Law against this offence and every minister of
the law should be interested in its execution.

Ratsing the WindI

A newspaper before us states that the number
of manufacturers of fans in Paris in 1847 was
one hundred and twenty-five, whose aggregate
transactions amounted to about $4,000 dollars.
Many of these manufacturers, however, confne
themselves to particular parts of the business.
For instance: there are forty-one who are mere
ly painters and coorists; twenty-one who sim
ply mount the fans; eight who make only what
is called the leaf of the fan five whose spe-
ciality is polish and varnish six who make
borders only, sc. The number of those whose
business comprises the complete manufacture
of the fan is only twenty-seyen. These employ
two hundred and sixty-nine hands, and their
aggregate transactions amount to $4,000 dollars
annually. Of the one hundred and twenty-five
manufacturers above mentioned, fourteen employ
more than ten hands; forty-six employ from
two to ten; twenty-five but one; and forty work
alone.

CHESAPEAKE

A VALUABLE BRIcK.-A journeyman mason,
named Brefond was employed to repair Chin
ney in the apartment Of gentleman residing in
the Rue des France Bourgeois While about his
work, the mason broke a brick which he found in
the chimney, and to his surprise discovered that
it was hollow, and contained bank note for 500f.
The workman was all alone, and might readily
have appropriated this sum to himself, but he
preferred to communicate the fact to his en-
poyer who called to mind that about two months
before he had written to his uncle, ut Amsterdam,
for supply Of money, and had in return received
carefully-sealed package, which, on being
opened, proved to be nothing but the brick in
question, which the indignant recipient threw
into the chimney, and wrote his uncle an angry
letter on the subject, to which no answer had
been sent The gentleman was not aware that
in Holland these hollow bricks are made on pur-
pose to send small sums of money, as making q
more secure package than any other The ma
son was literally rewarded for his honesty and
letter of thanks and apology was despatched
to the uncle
Who would refuse to carry few such bricks
in his hat?

The Drama.

On Monday next the actor whose fame is
broader than that of any American that ever trod
the stage, and whom very many now regard rs
the first tragedian in the world, will commence
an engagement at the National ; and there is no
doubt but his first appearance will attract large
audience. 1t would seem, indeed, that, in antici-
patton of Mr.. Forests arrival, as well as from
other circumstances, many have remained away
from the Theatre for the past two weeks and the
houses were not such as could have been desired
during Miss Logan's engagement. Yet her per-
sonation of "Ion," Beatrice" g Elvra," &C..
will be remembered by her auditors among
the most chaste specimens of acting.
Mr.. Fleming, as usual, acquitted himself very
creditably in the characters he took throughout
her engagement but, in general, the parts were
not represented in such a manner as was neces-
sary to give the best effect to her efforts. In
saying this, we disclaim censuring any of the
company for there may be circumstances which,
if known, would go far to palliate their apparent
defects and, taking this view of the matter, the
local critic of the Republic" might have been
less severely giHy upon Mr.. Ovens 'tPizarro :"
or was that scintillation merely Introductory to
his caretally-quaIifed praise of "Eluia" followed
by the censorious fling at Miss Celia's " Cora ~
A previous notice, however, in the local column
of that paper, is so palpably unjust to Miss E,
Logan, that the public can well excuse all the
good or harm that can emanate from that source.
But we commenced this to bespeak generous
turnout tonight to Miss Celia Logan's benefit.
She appears in two characters, one of which, in
her former performance of it, was enthusiast
cally cheered; and "Lucretia Borgia' is a char
acter well calculated to call forth her sisters
powers. Let them depart from the metropolis
with favorable opinion of its play-goers.

who is to be the Democratic Nominee
We are not in the habit of meddling with the
affairs Of our friends on the other side; but as
we frequently hear the question asked, "Will
the friends Of General Cass, who are in the ma
jority, submit to his being ruled off by the two
thirds rule ?" we propose offering reply, which
we quote from the Lynchburg Republican, an
able Democratic paper of Virginia. 1t says:
Gen. Cass was nominated in 1848 under the
two-thirds rule and no excuse could be offered
by the friends of that gentleman for desiring
much less attempting change of a rule so just
in itself, and of such vital Importance to the sue
cess of the party. If Gen Cass could accept
nomination under it in 1848, it would be the
extreme of bad faith in him now to refuse to SUBJ
NIT to different fate from its application. That
he or his friends will be guilty of such inconsst
ency we entertain not the slightest fears"

Mr.. Forrest will open his engagement at the
National Theatre, on Monday evening, as Damon
the same character in which he appeared at the
beginning of his late series of triumphs in New
York. 1t is grand and striking picture, and
well displays the talents of the great actor. Mr.
Forrest will be sustained in this play by Mr.
Conway, of the Broadway Theatre, and by that
rare actress, Madame Ponisi, from the sam
establishment. Both these performers sustained
him throughout his recent engagement in that
city; and both are at the top of their profession.
