We heard of a little boy, on Saturday last, who
had gone into one of our most extensive dry goods
stores in the morning with dime, which he
expended in the purchase of palm leaf fans. The
little fellow had not been long gone before ne
came back and got another supply, with the pro-
ceeds of his first purchase Again he returned,
and with accumulated capital took away larger
stock and SO he continued throughout the day,
until the close of business hours in which time
this industrious and persevering little boy had in
his possession clear gain of taoo dollars. He had
commenced business in the morning with capi-
tai of ten cents and had exerted his talents
assiduously until he had accumulated twenty
times his original investment!

Cravats,

Professor Hamitons remarks at the Buff alo
Medical College on asphyxia, and particularly
that form caused by wearing tight cravats, may
be of interest to the general reader:
"Cravats were first worn by the Croats in the
sixteenth century, as part Of their military
dress
"Public speakers, members of Congress, and
clergymen, have literally hung themselves by
wearing cravats and stocks, high and tight,
thereby impeding the return Of blood from the
head. This can be explained on philosophical
principles. The brain, in speaking, is excited to
increased action, larger quantity of blood is
sent to the substance, and, unless it can find q
ready return, produces congestion and aplo-
plexy.
"Students are not altogether free from the
effects of this legation of the neck. 1t is surpri
sing how little pressure is necessary to prevent
the ready flow of blood from the head; those
who bend their heads forward, as in writing OF
studying, are apt to feel dizziness and heavi-
ness in the head, which loosening their cravats
or collars altogether relieves, and the mind re-
turns to its original clearness. In clergymen,
who are particularly prone to bundle their necks
with large cravats, bronchitis is induced and the
vocal chords become relaxed as the consequence.
Men who speak extemporaneously can speak
longer and with greater ease than those who read,
as their voice is not confined as much to one key,
and can be modulated with greater freedom"

Great Discoveries.

When the lamented Henry Clay was candidate
for the Presidency, the vilest slanders were pub.
hshed against his reputation. He was charged,
among other things, with having made corrupt
bargain with Mr.. Adams for the appointment of
Secretary of State; and this gross libel on his
character was circulated from high sources, and
reiterated by menals in every direction, until il
was believed by thousands. Mr.. Clay is now
dead, and the same individuals who assisted to
yillify him whilst living are now shedding tears
over his grave, and extolling him as among the
purest statesmen that our country ever produced
"a truth which is now universally admitted.
This conduct shows, that what is said in the
heat Of political warfare against candidates
should be received with caution by the people.
Men who have heretofore sustained fair reputa-
tions cannot be converted into devils by the
mere act of being nominated by their fellow
citizens for public Office
General Scott has, in like manner, been con-
sidered by the American people and by the world
as one of the most skilful and successful generals
of the age, possessing undoubted courage and
unsuspecting patriotism. Nominated by the
Wing party as their candidate for President, il is
now discovered that he is a coward, Freesoiler,
Abolitionist, &C., and we presume that, before
the day of election, he will be portrayed as
monster of inhumanity and iuiquity. None but
the most ignorant will believe these charges, and
those who utter them, were General Scott TO die
tomorrow, would unite in paying the highest
honors to his memory.

At a meeting Of the clerks of the Adjutant
Generals Office, James S. Addison was called to
the chair and Richard M. Hanson was appointed
secretary.
The following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas it has pleased an inscrutable Provi-
dence suddenly to summon from the scene of his
usefulness in life, and the bosom of devoted
family and many friends, Major General ROGER
JONES, Adjutant General of the United States
army, we, the clerks of the Adjutant Generals IS
Bureau, being desirous of recording our sense of
his virtue, and our sincere regard for his mem
ory, do resolye
That we deeply deplore this affecting dspen-
sation, by which the public, and more especially
the bureau over which General Jones for many
years presided faithfully, ably, and impartially,
have been visited
That, having long known and appreciated his
character, the ties which bound us to him Off
cially have not been severed without deep and
unaffected sorrow; and that we cherish with
chastened pleasure the remembrance Of his
kindness and courtesy, and his numerous virtues,
public and private.
That to his afflicted family our abiding and
cordial sympathies are respectfully rendered
That, in testimony of our affectionate regard
for General Jones, we will wear the usual badge
of mourning for thirty days.
That copy of these resolutions be transmitted
to the family of the deceased, and also to the
papers of Washington, Georgetown, and Alex
andria, for publication.

OMISoUs.-General Taylor, old "Rough and
Ready" as the people loved to call him, broke
the power of the Mexicans and destroyed the
flower of their army. Then the gallant and ac-
complished Scott went forth, by order of his gov
ernment, and by his wisdom, skill, and science,
scattered the Mexican power to the four winds,
and consolidated the work so gloriously begun by
old Rough and Ready"
The people then took up Taylor as their leader
against the combined forces of lofocoism, and,
under his lead, routed them, "horse foot, and
dragoon." The people now call for Scott, the
warrior and statesman, to lead them on to the
final overthrow of locofocoism, that the true in
terests of America may be established
The campaign under Scott has commenced
who can doubt its successful issue?

This flag was erected on Saturday night on the
cross on the church, as before stated, by some
locofoco gentlemen of our town, for the purpose Of
rdiculing Gen. Scott, and casting odium upon
the Roman Catholic religion. Although the de-
sign was such as could only emanate from black
and malignant heart, it will yet fail of effecting
its purpose: it can neither injure Gen. Scott nor
disgrace the Roman Catholic Church in the slight
