u We observe that the business men of
Janesvile and other cities have formally agreed
not to take the issues of George Smith Atlanta
Bank. This is well Let an indignant people
frown down the impostue' As to bringing
shame repentance to such a brazen-faced,
hardened sinner, that, we know, would be a
fruitless undertaking. But he can be touched
elsewise. His vilainous attempt to perpetrate
a fraud, gross outrage, on communities, E,ay
be made to bring its bitter fruits back to his own
door. Let it be understood, thoroughly and
constantly understood, that every man who re-
ceives the issues Of the Atlanta Bank, wrongs,
not himself only, but society. 1t is time for the
people to repudate these rag mills, generally !;
and we may at least hope, and hope with trust,
that no citizen of Iowa will soil his hands with
the touch Of George Smiths Atlanta Bank

II Advices from Washington say that Pre-
sident Pierce's health is not good. The White
House at this season Of the year is represented
to be unhealthy and Gen. Pierce, it is said, will
remove soon to pleasant cottage on the borders
Of the City. We are inclined to think that there
is little credit due the report of the President
indisposi,ion, from the fact that Washington pa
pers do not allude to it. The report probably
arose out Of the general reputation Of the White
House for unheal,hiness at this season. Some
ingenious letter writer supposed that the presi
dent ought TO be sick, whether he was or not
and so, risked the "item.'

Of the ". 7. Express, account Of royal
smiling match which took place sometime
since between her majesty, Empress of the
French, and Mrs. Howard, ex.nistress of Louis
Napoleon. Both came to the scratch on the
first round, beautifully, displaying equal pluck
and eagerness. Mrs. Napoleon threw out
finely, attacking her opponent with skill and
vgor. Mrs. Howard countered well, pressing
the Spaniard On 10 the ropes and fbbing her
severely. The 2nd, 3rd and fourth rounds ere
fought with about equal fortune In the fifth
round the Empress led down gallantly, achiev
ing some heavy body blows and furnishing Mrs
Howard severely in the wind. Round Oh
Mrs. Howard came up piping, the Spaniard
fresh and anxious, though bearing the marks Of
considerable punishment. Mrs. Howard threw
out feebly with her right, which was stopped by
the Empress, who replied with her left, hitting
her opponent a terrible blow between the eyes,
which sent her down like log Round 9TH

II The JanesoiUe Gazette is beseeching the
whig party of Wisconsin TO hang together, and
not to "give it up SD, Mr.. Brown yet awhile.
We admire the pluck Of our contemporary, which
enables him to bear up under such untoward cir
cumstances; and his prescience, which enables
him to stretch ahead and see the time when the
services of the whig party "will be called into
requsiton:' this faculty of "second sight" "
whereof our brother claims the possession, we
can account for on the principle that,
''The suns set of life gives us mystical lore.'
The Gazette repudiates 'peoples tickets" Zone
of which threatens TO absorb the masses Of the
whig party in that Statc) and sticks to the
organization and party lines. This is prudent; !;
for, release the wings fom party tramm Is, and
at least one half of them would be democrats
instinctively. We do not see why--if we are
allowed to advise in these matters-the scat cred
fragments of the whig party in Wisconsin, can
not unite under the fteesoil banner There is
no material difference between them, SO far as
we know, on the point which gives distinctive
ness and form to the freesoiI party. We don't
doubt that the democracy would be able TO
trounce such a combination with ease ; and it
would be matter Of satisfaction to "whip them

A Singular Race.

There are now in London two very singu-
lar human beings of n race which has hither-
to been very little known to the civilized
world. They came frocl South Africa, where
they are called Eaihnen. They are totally
distinct from all other known African races
--as much so as IL they had dropped upon
this earth from another planet. They nre
diminuitive in size mere pigmies-aDd I'M
acquainted even with the art of building huts.
they shelter themselves in caves aud crevices
of the earth when these are wanting they
make artificial scoopings on the surface,
which they line with leaves and cover with
branches.
The Holtentots and Bushmen are the
avowed enemies of the EarihIncn, and when
they meet them will shoot them down like
vcrmin. The poor little deienceiess Earth
men have no refuge but in holes, trees or
thickets, and the tribe is fast vergng to ex-
tinction. They are a poor weak people
one of Natures ireaks--nnd destined not TO
perpetuate their race. Few colonists have
seen them; and although il is known
that few still linger in the mountains, these
are rapidly dying away, and will soon be-
come tradition OF an elyish nirite ruce of
, old.
| The two individuals above mentioned,
were carried to England from the Cape of
Good Hope two or three years ngo, and have
become d0nesticated in nn English family.
The Morning Chronicle, from which we take
these particulars, describes these little Earth
men as boy aud girl, the former fourteen
and the latter sixteen years of age, and
! "complete like fares" in appearance. The
boy is three feet md three and halt inches
in height, the girl trihe taller. Their skin
is of the brightest aud most transparent
bronze, and as smooth and as polished rs
marble. In form the little creatures are per-
fect-their delicate limbs standing out in the
most graceful symmetry, and every motion
| instinct with the untaught ease OF nature.
The faces althocssls decidedly African in
feature, are full OF sweetness and good hu-
NOR, with un expression Of archness and
intelligence. ...

Defeating the Keitle.n

This ancient and honored custom was duly
observed by our enterprising fellow.citizebs,
Messrs. BorD g. STREETER, cream sonp
manufacturers in this city, yesterday. The
ceremony consists, in the first place in floor
ing the Kettle, (which in the present instance
was some fifteen feet in diomeier,) about five
feet below the rim; then placing upon the
flooring, IN the centre, round table, around
which are arranged circular seats in such a
manner that the inner surface or wall OF the
cauldron serves ns support for the back OF
the occupant, thus placing the guests IN
circle, each face TO face with every other
guest in the kettle.
Some thirty gentlemen were thus assem-
bIed like the wise men IN Gotham in their
how'll around the festive board within the big
round kettle. The table grouned with the
weight of the feast, while IN the centre rose
u pyramid of beautifully varegoted soaps OF
every description, the whole surrnounted by
nm alabaster urn filled with flowers fashioned
by natures def and cunning fingers.
In response to the following sentiment:
"Educated mind gives dignity to labor;
success, then, to our hosts. May their name
and fame ever stand rs clear and unsullied MS
the purest products Ct their art and skill"-
Mr.. Sueetcr made neat, gentlemnnly
speech to the company, setting forth the ma
ture aud design OF the ceremony in which
they had been invited to aid, giving express
sion to his thanks on behalf Of himself aud
of his business partner, for the kindness aud
encouragement they had experienced from
the citizens of their adopted home.
The conclusion of Mr.. SIS remarks was
the signal for the indulgence of unbounded
hiIarity nmong the guests. Such ieast in
such f" kettle was never known in old Nor
wch before. The old town clock had fairly
struch six before the guests could persuade
themselves il was time 10 dispcrse, which
they did however, Mt last, with heurty wishes
of prosperity to their entertainers, aud that
they might Mt no distant day have occasion
again to summon in thex friends to aid in
dedicoting another and even larger "kettle."

Washing,

The "women folk" will he glad to learn
that there is II hope Of getting rid of their
heavy washing burden. TIE Tribune Local
visited the famous Hotel, St. Nichols, OF New
York, where one man and three women dis
pose of from 5000 10 5000 pieces n day,
aud describes its process which we copy:
"a strong wooden cylinder, four feet in
diameter, aud four aud u half feet long, is
mounted on frame, 20 ms to he driven by q
hand on one end OF the shnil. This shnll is
hollow, with pipes so connected with il that
hot or cold water, or steam, can be intro
duced at the option Of the porson in charge.
The cylinder being half lnll of water, a door
ut one end is opened, and 300 TO 500 pieces
of clothing are thrown in, with a suitable
quantity OF soap, aud an alkaline 1ud which
assists in dissolving tho dirt aud bleaching
the fabric, so that clothes after being washed
in this manner increase in whteuess without
having the texture injured.
"When the cylinder is changed il IL put
in motion by small steam engine, aud made
20 reyolye slowly, first one wny few rcyo-
lutions and then the other, 10y which the
clothes are thrown from side TO side, in aud
