THE NEW ARISTOCRACY.

THE NEW ARISTOCRACY.
A title once could only show
The signs of noble birth,
And men Of rank were years ago
The great ones Of the earth.
They deemed Il Just the crowd should shrink,
Before the cap and gown;
They thought itwrong the poor should think,
And right to keep them down.
Those were the days when books were things
"The People" could not touch;
Made for the use of lords and kings,
And only meant for such.
To work the loom, to till the SOIL,
To cut the costly gem
To tread the round Of daily toll,
Was quite enough for them.
Timo was when Just to read and write
Were thought a wOnderous deal, -,
For those who wake with the morning light,
To earn their daily meal.
The man more submissive slave,
The less his head-peace knew;
And so the mass from habit gave
Their birth-right to THE TEw.
Now look abroad, the light of Truth
Is spreading far and wide,
And that which fills the English youth,
Must shame our ancient pride.
yTIs mind alone can WELD the sword,
In spite of wealth and rank;
The artizan may face lord
With thousands in the bank.
We scorn not those Of high degree,
For so 'twere wrong to do;
But poorer men as rich can be,
And quite as noble too.
The prince may act gayer part,
But he who works for bread
May have, perchance, warmer heart,
And p'Taps a clearer head.
Then grieve not for "the good old times"
Behold brighter day
The causes Of our fathers crimes
Are wearing fast away.
Before the Pen, the Press; the Rail,
Must old opinions fall;
The mighty project cannot fall
Then aid it one and all!

Curious Bequest.-A correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, writing from Norfolk, Va, says
that the lawyers in that place have been quite
stirred up in the last few days, since the news
of the death of Mr.. Broderick at Bermuda, he
being a fussy Englishman, who has left $780,
900 to be divided among widows and orphans
who keep boarding houses in the United States.
There are sixteen of them who are to receive Il
legacy of FL 900 each. New York, and all the
way south to New Orleans comes il for a share,
but in consequence of the death of the English
Consul, the funds are not comeatable at pres
emit, which will afford pretty pickings for some
of our land sharks who have got hold of the
matter, and will make advances, and out of
commissions, and offer of services, &c, when,
in reality, there is nothing to do. They will
thus make a pretty penny out of the fair reci-
pients.

A Bonaparte in the u. s. Army.-Among
the cadets recently graduated at West Point
who have received their brevet appointments in
the army, is Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, a
young gentleman of Baltimore, and the jour
malls are remarking upon it as singular, that a
Bonaparte should be in the American army as
a citizen. But bis birth and connections are
all American, although his grandfather, King
Jerome, is now President of the French Senate,
and uncle to the French President. His grand
mother was the daughter of the well-known
Baltimore merchant, William Patterson. Her
marriage with Prince Jerome was ~annulled by
inc First Consul, after the birth of her son, who
mas ever since lived with his mothers connec-
tons, and married a lady of large fortune in
Baltimore. He has no foreign associations or
FEELINGS, and is as much an American although
ne had not a King for a father and sundry Prin-
ces and Presidents and Emperors in posse for
his cousins. The son is a native Marylander,
by descent from both parents, and we do not
doubt feels more pride in deriving his origin
from the Baltimore merchant on one side, than
from the French ex-King, whose follies gained
MN, from his brother, the Emperor, the scape-
grace of his family.

Hw to disperse MISUNDERSTANDING the
newest books of the season published by Nun.
RAY, of London, is Fortunes Journey to the
Tea Countries of China" from which Up. 179)
an exchange takes the following useful extract:
"Seeing the swarms of mosquitoes, our
Chinese BOAT men asked my servant why he did
not 60 and buy ZONE mosquito tobacco. In a
few minutes he did SO, returning with four long
sticks in his hands, costing only W cents each.
Two were now lighted aud suspended from the
roof Of the boat. In FIVE minutes every musqui-
to in the boat had sought other quarters! and
we enjoyed a sound and refreshing sleep. The
substance composing these sticks was made
with the savings of ~resinous woods, ~(mostly
from juniper trees,) and mixed with some COM
bustible matter to make it burn. A piece of
split bamboo, three or four feet long, is then
covered with this substance, as thick as a small
cane. This is hooked on to the wall or the
roof of a boat. Sometimes the sawdust itself
is burnt on the floor. Norwood is employ
ed for the same purpose" Are our Indian
friends aware of this dodge

The Pierce Depelopments.-The Florence
{Ala.) GazeAe-an old. line Democrat-reviews
the case against General Pierce, and says:
"General Pierce no doubt used the express
ion attributed to him-that he hated and de-
plored slavery"
The Memphis (Tenn) Eagle remarks on the
same subject:
"'The evidence that General Pierce entertains
and has expressed the sentiments attributed to
him above, and the kindred ones in reference
to the Fugitive Slave law, which he proclaimed
at New Boston, New Hampshire, in January
last, is irrefragable; and it is time for the Demo-
cratic partisan presses and spokesman to cease
their self.stultifying denials, if they wish to
retain a particle of reputation for fairness and
caudor.

Barnum's. Tom is about sixteen years of age
now, though passing for more, and it is his mo-
ney which built forh father the largest house
in Bridgeport. Tom has made all his family
rich, aud when at home is of course the ele-
plant of the town, Barnum being then but a
simple lion. Tom has his byOu Of a room in
his great house, with a rosewood bedstead,

&c, have been among his ~favorite play things,
but he is amiable, intelligent, and very much
esteemed. Barnum took him as an experiment
about ten years 70. His pay at the start was
s3 a week, soon it was raised to 1915, then to
he sum of 1877. At this price Barnum took
aim to England, where his great success

tilities unless the men claimed by France were
given up, which the Pacha refused to do; and
rumor says that the French were in occupation
of Tripo!i. This, however, lacks confirmation.
Local disturbances had broken out iu Guada-

The movement of getting up petitions pray
ing the establishment of the hereditary Empire
had been revived. The elections for the De-

1t was reported that the official announce

Hou it Works in 7snmessee.-We find the
following in the last number of the Nashville
Banner:
We hear Of one neighborhood 10 Marshall
county, in which eighteen or twenty Democrats
are understood to be for Winfield Scott for
President. We understand a Democratic Sc
nator, Mr.. P. Davis, lately visited the neigh
borhood, and made them a speech, apd was
met by another Democrat, Mr.. Buck Hill, who,
though unaccustomed to stump speaking soon
placed the Senator horS de combat. There are
plenty of similar indications in other counties.

UThere is SO remarkable a similarity of
opinions between the Pierce and the British
press in regard to Gen. Scott and free trade, as
to leave US in doubt which is most really Brit
ish Mt heart.-Both hate Scott intensely. Both
deny that Scott won the battle of Lundy's
Lane. Both contend on the other hand that he
and the American army were defeated. Both
are decidedly in favor of the Polk free trade
policy of 1876. Both think that England should
do our manufacturing for us. Both think that
Gen. Pierce ought to be elected President in
preference to Gen. Scott. Are not these re-
markable c~oincidents a. Cleue. Her. -

Tobacco.-Medical authorities state that to.
bacco acts on the system as an intoxicant, in
whatever form consumed. II is only becausei it
does not produce that excess of intoxication
known as drunkenness that it is considered less
pernicious. 1t produces disorders in the mu-
cous membrane of the larynx and palate. seri-
ously deranges the stomach, and affects the ac-
ton of the heart and lungs. 1t demoralises the
feelings, creates thirst, and the habit at best is
dirty and idle, and should in no case be used
unless recommended by a medical man. Such
are direct physical effects of INDUCING in the
bove habits.

incident occurred at the New York prison not
long since. Late in the evening the warden
was aroused by somebody knocking at his door.
Inquiring who was there. he was astonished to
hear in reply, ats me, Sehermerhorn." One
of the %conyicts had been overlooked, and the
prison had been locked up with him on the
outside. The poor fellow had been locked up
twenty-five years in the prison, and didn't know
where to go, and SO he knocked until he awoke
the warden and obtained admission to his old
quarters.
