represented upon the Spanish dollar. Another

Gil Bias or Don Quxote, will recpllect the
phrase "piece Of eight" which issffequently
used BY the authors Of those works. The term
then means nothing more than dollar or eight
reals. When, therefore, the dollar became
generally used, the figure 8 was prefixed to ex-

Manufacturing.

Those who read Bob Walkers plan for
the encouragement Of manufacturers will
agree with us that it is good one. II is
simply that capitalists furnish the buildings
and motive power and rent both to skillful
workmen at a rate that shall pay a reasonable
interest on the investment. This plan has
been adopted 10 many places at the east.
and is found to work admirably. If there
were suitable buildings In this place to-day,
we doubt not that BY tomorrow accompany
would be ready TO occupy them. We tell
our people that now is the time to encour-
age manufacturers; and that such an induce
ment 10 skillful workmen would be sure
plan to do so. We know not how much
idle capital there is in this place at present.
Not much, probably, but If there be dis
position on the part ofholders to invest it,
we know of no better opening than the
erection Of manufacturing Establishments
II would be safe for capitalists, profitable for
good mechanics and would increase the trade
and population of Portsmouth.

Fire in clrcleville.

building, together with large number Of
Mills, partly finished, all their tools, &C.,

Firemen,s Rail.

The members Of Independent Fire Com
pony No. 2, we learn, are to offer our citi-
gems feast of good things and flow of toes,
at the New City Hall, on the evening Of the
l4th. The Company desire 10 furnish their
Hall with library; to procure books, Maga.
zines and newspapers and make it q pleasant
resort for members and Others who may wish
TO employ their leisure evenings in improv-
ing their minds. We hope they may sue
ceed in this laudable enterprise. Some such
resort is needed in our city, and we doubt not,
were such an one established it would not
only prevent mischief many time. but be
productive Of positive good. The proper ar
rangements are now being perfected for the
supper and, also, for amusing those who may
not indulge in dancing. This part of The
business is entrusted to those who. we be-
lieve, are entirely competent to make the af-
fair pleasant, in every respect.

NEEDLE TAKEN FROM THE BoDY OF LADY.
Yesterday afternoon, a young and favorsbly
known physician of this city extracted a
button needle" from the abdomen of a
young lady in Charleston. For several
months the lady had been afflicted with poor
health, intewpersed with alarming spasmodic
turns The cause OF her sickness baffled the
searchings Of her physicians, until yesterday,
when he made an elaborate examination,
when the needle aforementioned was percep.
tibe short distance beneath the skin, upon
the left side of the abdomen. 1t was short.
ly extracted, with dexterity. Its color was
black, while its original surface was more Of
less Dissolved, evidently by the action Of
trio JUICE. The presumption is that the pa
tient swallowed the needle many months
ago. and that it had thus worked its way
through her system, fortunately performing
its journey before il had sent its victim TO
the grave. The case is a remarkable one -

.sCircumstances alter Cases.s
We clip the following from The R,nublic

We clip the following from the Republican:
The ider Of legislators legisIetipg for the
benefit OF particular partisans is a thing that
should not be tolerated by the sovereigns in
this great Commonwealth of Ohio. One of
the present members of the Ohio Legislature
acknowledged to US that the object in having
the laws published in the various papers in
the State was TO assist in supporting the
party press. Is this right? Should public
treasure thus be expended to feed few in
diyiduals at the expense of those who are
"hewers Of wood and drawers OF water?"-
Why should the rapacious nav of a few in
dividuals be filled TO overfowing, when the
means are drawn from the purses of those
who do not ask such useless and unwise ex-
penditure Of public money?
We should like to knop that very inteli.
gent member of The present Legislature, who
informed the Republican that "the object in
publishing the laws is 10 support the party
papers," We would give at least twenty.
five cents for sigh oil him.
Our neighbor seems to be opposed 10 the
useless expenditure" of publishing the
laws. II has been buta short time since he
talked in quite different manner. Howev-
er, circumstances alter cases. For our
own part, we cannot see "the object" in
passing laws which hree-fourths of our cili-
zens never see, or hear Of If the laws are
to be -obeyed the people should know what
they are, and we can conceive Of no better
plan for informing them than the one which
has already been adopted-that of publishing
the laws in the county papers.

A Westphalian paper contains highly
original communication from Paris, 10 the
effect that the choice of the title "Napoieon
lie Trois" was purely the result Of accident
and mistake; that on the occasion of the
Prince Presidents passing through small
village, the populace had shouted, "Viye
rEmPereur, Viva Napoleon lie Trois!" which
on being inquired into, was found 10 have
arisen from The 'Muires having ordered the
printing Of instructions TO shout "Viye
