~ It cost the State $4,000 to elect by its legis
latle, Senator; while the people could have done
it without any cost to the public treasury; and
would have made better and more patriotic selec-

agency of rrories, which they jointly and per-
sonally transact for their selves otherwise, they
will suffer injury and wrong deception and fraud,
by political demagogues and joclies in pursuit of

UNCLE TONS CABN-A short distan ce below
Fort Pickering there lives an old negro man in a
log cabin, by the name Of Uncle Tom. Whether
it be the same parsonage on whom Mrs Stowe has
BESTOWED such worldwide reputation or not we
cannot say. At all events Uncle Tom lives there
in his cabin by himself as faithful and industrious
negro as ever lived earning his daily bread by haul
ing wood to town, and has accumulated some
money the past few years, with which he bought
his own freedom. Since he has been free man,
Tom has worked hard to lay up money enough to
buy his wife, a slave in Middle Tennessee. On
Sunday or Sunday night, some person, supposed to
be a negro, got into Toms cabin and stole there
from some $50 or $50 in money, which he had hid
in his bed for safe-keeping. Tom was sorely dis
tressed about his loss, and yesterday requested
lady to write to his old woman about his distress
We suggest that Tom writes on to Mrs Stowe,
telling her of his past history and present Distress
and perhaps that good old lady will open her heart
and send him a few hundred.-Nemrhjs Wig.

THRILLING ADVENTURES OLA YOUNG LADY

In one Of the most sober towns of Hampshire
county, where the Maine Law is strictly observed,
the keeper Of one of the hotels has for several
months past, kept bottle or two Of liquors in the
bed where he sleeps, taking care to remove them
every night when he went to bed, and replace
them when he got up in the morning. A few days
since, after replenishng his bottles and not having
good opportunity to carry them to their old quar-
ters he slipped them under the holsters of one OF
the beds reserved for travellers, and being called
out oftown to spend the following night forgot to
remove them. 1t unfortunately happened that
young lady traveller stopped at the hotel for the
night and was conducted by an unsuspecting SER
want girl to the room where the liquors had been
deposited.
As the evening grew late the young lady went
to bed and was soon fast asleep little dreaming of
the mischevous spirits which were l0orking under
her pillow. About midnight when all had become
still, the secreted iquorowing to the heat of the
weather. the warmth impaired to it by the Sleep
er-expanded to such degree as to defy longer
confinement Pop! pop went the corks of both
bottles almost simultaneously, making noise al
most as loud as the report of as many pistols, and
awaking the fair sleeper, who sprang from the bed
utterng such wild terrific screams that every person
in the house was Immediately aroused. The moon
shone bright enough for the lady to discover the
red liquor upon her night dress, and with the con-
vicon that she had been shot she tainted and fell
to the floor.
A dozen servants Immediately burst into the
ladys room and were Mortified at finding her lying
upon the floor weltering in blood All believed that
some horrible tragedy had been enacted that she had
either committed suicide or had been cruelty murder
ed. A light however, convinced them that she still
breathed. No time was lost in sending for a sur
geon, whilst the half dressed inmates Of the house
commenced search for the assassin or the instru-
ment which had been employed to perpetrate the
horrid deed. On examining the bed it was found
to be drenched with what was supposed. to be the
blood of the young lady, but the strong smell of
brandy caused one to investigate little further
when the two bottles-one partially filed with the
red wine and the other with brandy--were dscov-
cred under the pillow! How tie doctor came
how the lady recovered, and how the landlord
tried to hush up the affair." the next day. be bet
ter imagined than we can describe.

ANNEXATION OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS-POL-
ICY OF THE PRESIDENT.

The intelligent correspondent of the New York
Courier and Enquirer writes from Washington I'M
der date of November Sth as follows:
The news from the Sandwich Islands by the last
mail is interesting. DR.. Judd, the American Mis-
sonary, who has virtually governed the Island for
the last twelve fifteen years. as the prime minis
ter of King Kamehamcha, has been superseded by
Hon. Elisha W. Allen, late Commissioner Of the
United States. The King and his Government ap-
pear to have acceded to the project for tie aunexa
ton of the Islands to the United States. The for
egn diplomatists have protested, and the govern
ment in unison with the American commissioners
have replied in defence of their conduct As early
as May of last year wrote you that the acquisition
of this important group was prominent feature IN
the foreign policy of the administration and have
no doubt that the whole business has been conduc-
ted in strict conformity with instructions from the
State Department. The arrangements will be con-
Guided as soon as Congress shall confer upon the
Executive the necessary authority for signing pa
pers The Islands have about sufficient territory
and population to make medium sized State ct the
Union.
The latitude of the Sandwich Islands is about tie
same as that of Cuba-21 degrees north. The chief
production is the same-sugar. The native race is
diving out and will soon be extinct. The Islands
have been Christianized and civilized by New Eng
land Missionaries, but the aborignas cannot endure
sontact with the superior race They wither as our
Indians do at the touch of the European, ike stub
bic before the fire. The influences under which tie
group will come into the Union, will cause tenn
porary oblivion of the slavery agitation, and the
nexaon of this insular State viii be accepted as a
set off to that of Cuba. They will probably come
in together, as Maine and Missouri, Texas and
Iowa Michigan and Arkansas, did. But as the
nature of the products and the latitude seem best
adapted to the labor of the hardy African race it is
probable that the Sandwich Islands will hereafter
be the theatre, or the cause of the same exciting
which has already violently agitated
the confederacy

YELLOW FEVER IN PmLADELPHIA--It appears

vember that there was good deal more of yellow
fever in Philadelphia, this past summer, than was

knowledge. According TO the authority in ques-
ton, the first case appeared on the 10Th July, and
the last on the 9TH of October. During this period
of eighty days there were one hundred and seventy
cases, and one hundred and twenty-eight deaths,
equal to 70 per cent or one death in every 40
hundredths. This statement shows either that the
disease was Of extraordinary malignty; that the
cases were improperly treated; or, what is more
probable, that only those which were expected to
terminate fatally were reported as yellow fever
