We cannot refrain from again express
ing our gratitude at the great increase of
the Star in our sister city. 1t is to us a
matter of surprise as well as pleasure, for
we are aware that our paper is not by
any means all that we intend to make it,
nor all it will be in short time. When
our new press is fully in operation, and
our sheet improved, when the advertising
patronage shall have reached the point
we aim at, we shall make the Star in all
respects still more worthy the generous
patronage which our neighbors of George
town have bestowed upon us.

Extension Of tho CAPITOL.

Extension Of the Capitol
The amount of money now being ex-
pended here in the enlargement of the
Capitol buildings will produce many be-
nefcial effects on the general business of
our community. But there is one point
to which we wish to direct the particular
attention of our fellov-citizenS. We al
lude to the erection of a considerable
number of small frame tenements, occu-
pied principally by the mechanics and
workmen engagedin Government employ.
Why not give us god and comfortable
brick buildings, something that will
stand time, and not be so subject to the
torch of the incendiay :? Houses renting
from 500 to $l75 PER annum would find
plenty of good terants. It should be
borne in mind by our property-owners
and taxpayers thtt when the work on
Capitol Hill shall be finished, many
large houses will be unoccupied and UNI
called for.
We feel it our duty to call attention
thus early to this natter, for the purpose
of putting our readers on their guard.
We feel that we owe an obligation to our
patrons that rises superior to the mere
work of supplying them with cents
worth of pleasing reading matter every
evening. 1t is and shall be our aim to
be useful to them all and in what way
of the kind can we be more usefully en-
ployed than in cautioning our friends
against being carried away with any
mania of land speculation.
The extension Of the United States
Capitol is by no means the only thing on
which this city has to depend for its
prosperity. When this great national
work is done there are several more that
need doing just as much. Among these
we would name here
The erection of new State Depart
ment.
The extension of the Treasury Build
ing.
A new Department for the Navy.
A new Department for the War.
Placing another story on the Executive
Mansion.
Entire compilation of the Patent Office
Building more convenient Post Office
for this city.
These reforms are all needed at this
rnor"ent: and the energy displayed in the
enlargement CT the Capitol IS an earnest
of what can be done in securing them if
the people but demand it.

The ARIsTocRAcY OF MONEY, AND THE No.
BrLITY OF LEARNING.-The following just re-
Elections occur in an address recently delivered
by Hiram Ketchum. Esq, on the occasion Of
the death Of Chief Justice Jones.
"Sir, there are now living in Europe, two very
distinguished men, Barons, both very eminent
in their line, both known to the whole civilized
world one is Baron Rothschild, and the other
is Baron Humboldt; one distinguished for the
accumulation Of wealth, the other for the accu-
mutation of knowledge. What are tho pos
sessions of the philosopher? Why, sir, heard
gentleman whom have seen here this after
noon, distinguished member Of this commu-
nifty, say that on a recent visit to Europe, he
paid his respects to that distinguished philoso-
pher, and was admitted to All audience. He
found him at the age of eighty-four years, fresh
and vigorous, in a small room, nicely sanded,
with a large deal table uncovered in the midst
of that room, containing his books and writing
apparatus. Adjoining this was small bedroom
in which he slept. Here this eminent philoso-
pher received visitor from the United States.
He conversed with him; he spoke Of his works.
" My works." said he, "you will find in an nd-
joining library, but am too poor to owns copy
of them. have not the means to buy full
copy of my own works"
Now, sir, which of these Barons, do you think,
even in this age of gold, receives the greatest
amount Of the homage Of the human race? +? /
speak not Of the homage of intelligent men,
but of the honor paid by the masses. Let them
both come here and pass through our streets,
and see to which of them the hat of the multi
tude will be doffed with the most cheerfuness
and alacrity.

BoMBAsT.-The Buffalo Rough Notes, whig
seven by nine print, works itself up into a sort
of Bombastes Furioso, and gets off the follow
ing:
"Tho axe has fallen, the official head of Col
lcctor Bronson lies at the foot of the Presiden-
tia Guillotine. But he fell like Caesar at the
foot of Pompey's statue, greater in death than
the proudest of his assassins. Mr.. Bronson
stands, to-day, head and shoulders above Mr..
Pierce and his whole Cabinet. He presents to
the American people the noble spectacle of a
man, who preferred honesty to office, who was
not to be driven by the frowns Of official supe-
riors, nor seduced by the charms of station, in
to an abandonment of principle"
Collector Bronson refused to follow the d-
rections of the President in certain matters per-
tanning to the discharge of the duties of his Of
fee, and in consequence thereof was very prop
erly dismissed. That is the long and short of
that matter. The whig game of attempting to
make hero of him is well understood. That
cock won't fight. Det. Free Press.

HoTTENToT INDoLENcE.-Thc Hottentot fe-
males are not at once the LATEST and most ILL
used of women The priest when he, marres
them, blesses them, saying, "May yorlive hap
py and rear year dear son who may live to
be good hunter and warrior" 1t is needless
to say that this wish is not always gratiied.
So long as her husband exists, the Hottentot
woman is the slave and drudge of the hut, and
on her devolves the task of providing for the
sustenance of the family; the husband eats,
drinks, smokes and sleeps.
When the Hottentot woman becomes wild
ow she must continue so for life unless sho
chooses to purchase husband at price which,
according 10 our notions is something more than
the delight Of wife in Hottentot matrimony
would warrant.
The Hottentot son on coming of age is pre-
sented with a cudgel, with which he is command
ed to beat his mother-and this request is very
dutifully complied with by the son, in order to
manifest his strength and ability, just as some
youths are prone to evince their manhood by
smoking cigars and swearing profanely. 1t is
strange that the mother though often fainting
under the cruel beating of the son whom she
has nursed at her bosom, does not reproach him
but admires his manliness and dexterity in pro-
portion to the chastisement.

EMPEROR OF JAPAN.-The present Emperor
of japan is only 81 years of age; his title is
Thin Kew, which means Heaven beneath. His
palace is in the city of Jeddo ; it is surrounded
by strong wall, and outside of the wall is a
deep canal full of water, his arsenal is close to
his palace. built on mound, where he retreats
in case of war which he is always afraid of.
He keeps strong life guard around him, and
when he rides out, which is very seldom, he has
ten or twelve of his ministers dressed in the
same uniform as himself, so no person shall
know him, he is so much afraid of his own sub
jects.

Gently DER the ncart-strings Stealing.

Gently DER the Hcart-strings Stealing
Gently DER the heart-strings stealing,
Come the scenes of other years
In Mem'ry's mirror oft revealing
joys bright smiles on Sorrows tears.
Softly as sweet music flying
Der Star-lit plains or oceans swell,
Comes the voice of one now lying
Where the cypress shades the dell.
Sweetly as the dew-gemmcd flower
Breathes its fragrance on the even,
Mem'ry with syren's power
Whispers of the loved in heaven.
Thus fond mem'ry often bringing
Fair forms from the shadOwy past,
And the heart is ever stealing
TO those hours too bright to last.
Gone are all those lovely visions,
Quickly as the meteor's gleam;
Mem'ry slumbers in oblivion,
And I'm alone on lfe's dark stream.
