Court House this afternoon was perfectly
ismmed with people to hear the address o'
Gen. Coombs, The attention oil the auu'-
ence was enchained for two hours by the
speaker, and their raPturous applause ex-
bibited at frequent intervals, gave evidence
of the powcr over mems minds possessed by
the eloquent Kentuckian Il was a g'o'i-
Gus speech and gloriously was 1t listen
ed to It's effect was visible in the co"h-
tcnauce Of every autitor. "
In a mastery manner, he discnssed 'i'e
measures OF public policy which divide '''e
two parties of the country and showed up
conciusivcly the weakness of the evidence
by which Modern democracy claims Ihomos
Jefferson as its parent or even Gen. JACK
son as its godfather. His contrast between
Gen. Scott and Pierce, was severe but Just
and had good effect upon the audience
All in all, il was magnificent effort
worthy of the Cause and of the Man, and IN
its effects calculated to do good, intended af
/ it was, to strengthen the faith OF the salhV'
and to call sinners to repentance.
Gen. Coombs left at o'clock for Circle

FROM EURoPE.--The late intelligence
from Europe docs not possess any marked
features. The most interesting item comes
from France where the effort to establish
the Empire still continues. 1t is difficult,
however, to form any opinion of future re-
suits, The Nephew Of his Uncle has exhb-
tied more irmncss and caution than were
awarded to him. From India, we have ac-
counts of further British victories over the
Natives and we suppose the War will end
as others hive done, by an increase of the
Empire. From Australia, the gold news
continues favorable. The death of the Duke
of Wellington occupies the attention olthe
English people. His funeral has not yet
taken place. The expenses are to be paid
by the Government.

pA grand project has been proposed at
Paris by the Able Moigno, scientific writer
of some note, and author of work on tele-
graphing. 1t is to establish in the Paris de
Boulogne, at the gates Of the capital, model,
in relief, of Europe, with all its towns, cities,
rivers, lakes, railways, mountains and forests.
Each country and each town would occupy
space exactly proportoned to their real extent;
every mountain would resemble, in geological
construction and form, that which it would
represent; and every river and railway would
be of real water and real iron, and in length SO
many yards to the mile. This singular model
would occupy several acres. The expense of
forming it, would, it is admitted, be enormous;
but that the Able contends, would be ar un-
important consideration, compared to the in
structon it would afford, not only to youth,
but to people of all ages and professions, and
the striking addition it would prove to the curl
osities of the grand vile.

Outrageous Attack Upon a South
GTnGr.

A correspondent Of the Boston Post, writing
from Newport, r. l., on the 9th inst. gives the
following account ofan outrageous attack upor
Southern gentleman by the walters at the
Ocean House:
| On Sunday, at dinner, Mr.. Yerger was help.

attempted to take it from his hands. lie very
! promptly and properly raised his case-knife
! which he held, and struck the walters face
! HE waiter was taken from the room. and din
ner went on as usual. The next morning Mr.
lerger went to breakfast, and being seated dis

having aimed himself in anticipation of attack
he prepared for self-defence. He held pistol
| III each hand, and as the mob advanced be to ID
them that he would xiii the first man who came
within five feet of him. BY this threat | be-
Iieve his life was saved, for none of them da-
red to oyerstep the mark. The cry of"South.
erners' was Immediately made, Whereupon Col.
ChrIsty, Of Kentucky; Lieut.. Nelson, of the Ma
w; Mr.. Pollard, of Alabama, and many other
friends of Mr.. Ierger, came to the rescue. The
mob was kept at bay by Mr.. Yerger's pistols
until he was surrounded by his friends; he was
thus deprived of the use of his arms, and the
mob closed upon him. A pistol was wrench
ed from his right hand, the guard tearing his
finger severely. The waiter who got possess
ion OF the pistol made several attempts to fire
upon Mr.. Ierger, but was prevented from fear
OF killing some one Of his accomplces Mr..
Ierger was taken from the room by his friends
u ct armiS, and the walters were soon expelled
by the remaining Southerners. They gathered
however, in another part of the house, and be-
ing in number about hundred, created great
CONSERVATION among the ladies. Mr. Yerger
was compelled to leave the place by the advice
of his friends, about fifty of whom accompa-
MED him. Many Southerners are still prepar-
ing to leave. Mr.. Weaver did all he could to
arrest the movement, but being man of not
much decision, he Of course failed. must say
that if guests are TO be thus treated whilst Wis

would be wise for them to remain at home |
understand the mob have threatened the lives
of Col. Chrsty and Lieut. Nelson, who were
warm personal friends of Mr. Yerger, and stood
by him in the midst of the difficulty. Several
walters were knocked down whilst attempting
to follow Mr.. Yerger to his room Altogether
we have had an exciting tme-truly disgrace
full and outrageous upon the feelings of the Wis
itors.

Prince John no Compromiser.-John Van
Buren,, when at Cleveland in l54s, used this
very explicit language in the way of person
al pledge to his own course:
II am, however, the unmitigated enemy Of
slavery, and would have it abolished without
delay. say, therefore, for myself-and wish
to be understood as speaking for myself alone
that, let what will come, | shall, under no
necessity whatever, support man who does
not believe slavery to be an unmixed curse,
and who will not, by virtue of his office, use
all constitutional power to abolish it.
We presume that our readers are aware that
John Van Buren is NOW warm supporter of
Pierce!

What O'Clock is M--When was a young
lad, my father one day called me to him, that
he might teach me to know what o'clock il
was.
He told me the use of the minute finger and
the hour hand, and described to me the figures
on the dial plate, until was pretty perfect in
my part.
No sooner was quite master of this addi-
tonal knowledge, than set off scampering to
join my companions in game of marbles; but
my father called me back again. "Stop, Will
liam, said he, Il have something more to tell
you"
Back again | went, wondering what else I
had got to learn, for thought knew all about
the clock as well as my father did.
"Wiliam,' said he, II have taught you
the time of day. | must teach you how to find
out the time of your life."
All this was strange to me; so | waited i'm
patiently 10 hear how my father would explain
it, for wanted sadly to go to my marbles.
"The Bible" said he, describes the years of
man to be threescore and ten or fourscore
years. Now, life is very uncertain and YOU
may not live single day longer, but if we d.
vide the fourscore years of an old mans life
into twelve parts, like the dial of clock, it
will allow almost seven years for every figure.
When a boy is seven years old, then it is one
o'clock Of his life; and this is the case with you.
When you arrive at IA years old, it will be two
o'clock with you, and when 81 it will be three
o'clock, and at % it will be four o'clock: at 35
it will be o'clock; at AZ it will be six o'clock;
at 49 it will be seven o'clock. should it please
God to spare your life. In this manner YOU
may always know the time of your life, and
looking at the clock may remind you of it.
My great grandfather, according to this calcu-
laton, died at IL o'clock, my grandfather at II ,
and my father at 10. At what hour you or
shall die, William, is only known to Him to
whom all things are known"
Never since then have heard the inquiry.
"What o'clock is it!'--nor do | think have
even seen the face of clock--without being
reminded Of the words of my father.

To Prerem Pitting by the Small Por.-Mr
Scion Robinson, in communication in the
Plough, Loom and Anril recommends the fol
lowing to prevent pitting by the small pox:
"Get from the apothecary little vial of stuff
called liquid cuticle, and as soon as the pos
tules are fully formed apply little of the Ii
quid with little brush or feather to each one.
AS fast as they get ripe, remove the scab and
wipe away the matter clean, and apply the IL
quid again. If any of them fill second time,
you must remove the covering and repeat the
process. 1t will smart like fun for moment,
but, my word for it, when you recover you
shall not find mark upon that pretty face Of
yours to prove you ever had the disease. ] am
told the article is made of gun-cotton, dissolved
in chloroform. 1t forms an artificial skin over
a wound just as good as the real one"

From the Ne,e York Erpress

The managers of the unparalleled Democra,

nal method OF electioneering. A typographi.

and from that up to shiIIing--nay, rather than
not lose the patronage of the verdants, they

derstanding is that the hucksters are salared
by the Tammany Committees, with instructions
to circulate the documents for money, if posi-

ton.

A tolerably good thing "turned up" here in
the common course of events, the other day,
growing out of the astonishment of an impor-
tatlon from the "Sucker Stae,' in wandering
up Market street, at the dashing exterior of Dr..
Braggs Mustang Linement Depot. The Doc
tor has just had the walls decorated eaborately,
illustrative OF the virtues of the linement, its
| origin, and so on. The figures and scenes pic
| tnresque beng far too numerous to mention,
suffice it that there were to be seen buffaloes
| and bears, and animals chasing about in gay
foreign scenery, in wild confusion, and our
countryman very sagely and instantaneously
concluded that the interior was vast menag-
erie, Of which the pictorial exterior was true
and faithful copy. So, after having carefully
studied the animals outside, he crossed over to
take look at the originals within.
"Heow much dye charge to 60 in!" he said
to the bland doctor, as he stood at the desk.
"To 60 in." echoed the DOCTOR "go in where?"
eta go in and look at them 'ere warmints
as you've got inside. Why, you feller, don't
you know what you've got tn show? You seem
skeered almost. What's tu pay?"
'To pay-show--got nside?" stammered the
doctor, thinking probably that the man was
mad
"Wal, you do fog, you do. Perhaps you
""o"' hho" ao HeoW you We gov diillldlS SLuck
up on your outside, and menagerie in thar
DO you know that, say!"
"Oh, ah! to be sure. Pictures-menagerie
Yes: of course. | never thought of that
What's to pay? Why, we can fix you off from
twenty-five cents to dollar cash."
"splt the difference; say fifty cents and I'll
take a front seat"
"Hand over the change" said the doctor,
chuckling al the joke.
"Thar you hev it, then"
The doctor grasped the coin, and at the same
moment handed over bottle of lnment.''
"What's this fur!" asked Illinois.
"Thats the elephant of this menagerie"
The countryman, "smellinga mice," slowly
tore off the wrapper and carefully read the title
and directions for use; then he walked out, and
crossed the street, read the big sign, walked
back into the store, where the doctor was en-
joying the sell, and said
"Wal, you are one of them we read abeout
in story books, amt yous" Grinning, and pock-
citing the bottle, he added--'I reckon this ere
bottles the menagerie, isn't it?"
"'That's it''
"You're satisfied amt you!'
Perfectly, and hope you are. Take some
cards and circulate them among your friends"
"Thank you-they'll du for the people tu
hum tn read. Iwish you good mornin'."
And off the countryman started. On the
doctor dropping the half into the till, it sonnd.
ed queer, and on inspection, found it to be rank
bogus.-N. Y. Spirit Of the Times.

Tiff anything in the world will make Il

GIf anything in the world will make the
right kind of man feel bad, it is unquestiona-
bly, quarrel No man ever fails to think less
of himself after than he did before---it de-
grades him in the eyes of others; and what is

bors. In nine cases out Of ten, the wisest
course is, if man cheats you, to quit dealing
with him; if he be abusive, quit his company;
if he slander you, take care so to live that no.
body will believe him. No matter who he is,
or how he misuses you, the wisest way is just
to let him alone; for there is nothing better
than this cool, calm and quiet way of dealing
with the wrongs we meet with.
