ENGLAND AND THE UNITED SrATEs.-A
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, says:
The British Government, as we learn from
late proceedings in the New Foundland Leg
islature, are solemnly pledged to enforce their
extreme construction of the Convention of
1918, in regard to the fisheries, and we know
also that they will not abandon their occu-
paney of the Bay Islands. War is therefore
inevitable within u year; and, perhaps, state
of things may arise that will demand an extra
session of Congress during the summer

PREDICTIONS FOR 1883.

According to the Almanac published in the
United States, the present year Of our Lord
1853, is to be an eventful one. We extract
from the same Almanac the following saga
cious predictions:
Through the whole course of the year
whenever the moon wanes, the nights will be
dark.
On several occasions during the year, the
sun will be up before certain people discover
it, and set before they have near finished theil
days work. ...-,
If men work for nothing and board them
selves, they will find plenty of employment
If bustles and hoops 90 out of fashion, O
church pew will hold more than three ladies'
If dandies wear their boards, there will be
less work for the barbar; and he that wears
moustaches, will have something to sneeze at
If the incumbent of a fat office should die
there will be at least one dozen pair of feet
ready TO step into one pair of shoes.
Many people will drink more strong liquor,
than will be necessary to keep them sober;
and take more medicine than will be requisite
to the enjoyment of good health.
Dinners and entertainment will be given to
those who have enough at home; and the
poor will receive much advice gratis, legal
and medical excepted.
There will be a tremendous noise all over
the country when it thunders, and a tremen-
dous dust kicked up occasionally by coaches
and horses.
Many young ladies, who hope for it, but
little expect it, will be married, and many who
anticipate that glorious consummation, will
be compelled to wait another year.

THE POST.
Athens, Friday. March rs, 1858.

COMPLIMENT TO Mr.. EvERETT.--The
Charleston Evening News pays the follow
ing just compliment to the Hon. Edward
Everett, late Secretary of State:
"Mr Everett's letter on the Fisheries will
add to his diplomatic reputation. Consider
ing the great number and complexity of the
questions which remained unadjusted, in the
State department, at the demise of MIR. Web
ster, and the little time Mr.. Everett has had
for preparation, his public letters exhibit a
fulness of research and power of analysis
which present him as one of the most accom-
plished of our statesmen. His career, MS
Secretary of State, although short, has been
one of most unexamped brilliancy."

rY- The artesian well, which is being
sunk at st. Louis by the Belcher brothers,

the 10th says:
We hear of no new appointments except
those to fill vacancies which were made by
designations The administration will be
embarrassed by premature resignation OF
all the whig Office holders.
/ learn that the President does not intend
to be burthened with applications for minor
Offices He will refer applicants and their
papers to the secretaries es-who are, of course
to be trusted with the selection of the agents
through whom their own responsibilities are
to be discharged.
This course will relieve the President
from much trouble. 1t has, in fact, been the
practice of the Presidents, for the last twelve
years, to leave to the heads of departments
the selections of their subordinates.
The names of the prominent Candidates
for the missions to England, France and
Spain have already been mentioned.
The mission to Mexico is also of great i'm
portance, and it is now said it will be given
to Californian,

to indicate safety. Applied to trains in mo-

DISTANCE TO THE Sun. Imagine railway
from here to the sun. How many miles is
the sun from us! Why, if we were to send
a baby in an express train, going necessarily
Il hundred miles an hour, without making any
stoppages, the baby would grow to be a boy
the boy wouldgrow to be a man--the man
would grow old and die without seeing the
sun; for it is distant more than hundred
years from us, But what is this compared
to Neptune's distancel Had Adam and Eve
started by our rail way, to 90 from Neptune
to the Sun, at the rate Of fifty miles an hour,
they would not have got there yet: for Nep-
tune is more than six thousand years from
the centre Of our system. - Household Words.

RESISTANCE TO RIDICULE. from
the earliest days to inure your principles
against the peril of ridicule; you can no more
exercise your reason if you live in the con-
stant dread of laughter, than you can enjoy
your life If you are in the constant terror of
death. If you think it right to differ from
the times, and to make APPOINT of morals, do
it, however rustic, however antiquated, how
ever pedantic it may appear; do it not for
insolence, but seriously, and grandly as a
man who wore a soul his own in his bosom,
and did not wait till it was breathed into him
by the breath of fashion. Sydney Smith.

THE Presidents HoUsE.-COngress has
been liberal in giving President Pierce an
outfit. The appropriations were as fol
lows:
For repairing the Presidents Mansion, in
cluding cleaning, painting, whitwashng, ex-
tending the east wing of offices for carriage
house, &c, $1,000; and for heating, ventila-
ting, painting the walls and ceiling Of the
rooms on the first floor, and the purchase of
books for the Presidents library, $29,500.
For refurnishing the Presidents House, to
be expended under the direction Of the
President, in addition to the proceeds Of the
sale of such of the furniture and equipage of
the said house as may be out Of repair and
unfit for use, $4,000.

THE TRUTH IN NUTsHELL.-There seems
to be actually very little more of true spirit
of religious toleration now pervading the
world than there was five hundred years ago.
There is less legal persecution for conscience
sake: but the bitter rancor, the whole-souled
hate of the professors of different creeds for
each other, seem still to grow rank in tho
heart of humanity. 1t is wrong to lay the
whole burden of the guilt of past persecution
for conscience sake upon Emperors, Popes,
and Cardinals, and lnquisitions. The most
grievious of all religious prosecutions, Pagan,
Roman Catholic, and Protestant have been
the daily prosecutions of social life, or the
fruits of the extermnating hatred which they
had fostered - Conr. d. Enc.
