BEFORE AND AFTER ELECTIoN.-The Man

inconsistency between Mr.. Pierce's appoint

was a candidate. We commend these home
thrusts to Southern prints that were so loud
in denouncing Freesoilism during the can
vass:
It was in the year 1850. while Gen.
Pierce was President of the Constitutional
Convention, that the great Union Meeting
was held in this city. Gen. Pierce in com
pany with several members of that august
body came from Concord, and they all gath
cred upon tho platform Of the city hall with
great anxiety OF mind intent upon saving
the Union. During the evening General
Pierce arose and spoke and was saluted with
many cheers and some Kisses. He was in.
terrupted in the progress of his remarks By
one Of the fercest Freesoilers in the city, q
man whose opinions no Wing ever endorsed,
but who never so far as we have ever heard,
gave utterance to sentiments, hostile to the
Union Of the States. Some Of our readers
may remember how Gen Pierce burst upon

Pierce from his friends in Portland, came to be

THE FIsHERIEs The Halifax IN. 81 Morn
ing Chronicle, of the l4th ult., says on the sub
ject Of the fisheries:
aThe vexed question Of our fisheries is every
day assuming more interesting aspect. The
fact of British Colonial vessel haviag been
drivenoff part Of the coast by French cruis-
er, deepens the Importance of the subject. It
is now pretty well understood that the French
have claims which, however long they may
have been in allegiance, are nevertheless tangi-
BILE. The laundering treaties made from time
to time by the British Government are matters
Of history. It remains to be seen whether the
Americans cannot yet trump up as good claim
to the whale of our fisheries as the French
have to part Of them. The claim recently.
set up by France has had the effect of unfold
ing the treaties that have been entered into be-
tween England, France and the United States
on the fisheries
Il would thus appear that therecent interfer-
ence Of the French has had the effect to induce
more moderate tone.

Gipsy DeluSi0ns.

A gang of gipsies recently visited
Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and
while in the vicinity of Bristol Post-Of-
fee, Capt Robert Perry, gentleman of
considerable means, was swindled by one
of them out of 81, 900. The gipsies then
left the neighborhood, and removed to
Washington, and the Republic, of that
city, tells the following singular story of
the mode in which Capt. Perry was swim
died:
"One of the gipsies, an old woman,
told him that a treasure of enormous
value was secreted on his farm, but re-
fused to disclose its location unless he
gave her 81 900. This sum was procured,
placed in a trunk, and locked, the key
being given to Capt. Perry. In three
days, the gypsy returned, and she and
Perry had an interview alone. The
trunk was opened, and the bundle was
found exactly as it had been placed. He
was then required to 60 upon his knees,
in order that her incantations performed
over the trunk and money might have
their full effect. While so engaged her
cloak fell vpon the trunk, but she quickly
replaced it upon her shoulders. The
mysterious proceedings being over, Per-
ry was called to examine the trunk, and
found it all right; he relocked, and pock-
keted the key. He was now told that
the work was done, and that on the ninth
day she would return, and if the money,
&C., in the trunk were all right, she
would be at liberty to point out to him
the exact locality of the treasure on his
farm. The ninth day came, but the gip-
sy did not appear, and after waiting a
day or two longer the trunk was opened,
but the bundle in which the 81 900 was
placed, was found to contain onl y some
two hundred coppers and few leaves of
tobacco. The gypsy had substituted this
bundle for the one containing his money.
Capt. Perry followed the gipsies to Wash
ington, and had several of them arrested,
but was unable to identify the woman by
whom he was deceived. The house they
occupy was searched, and, tied up in
hankerchiefs, rags, and in kettles, boxes,
&C., the officers found large quantities of
gold and silver coin, amounting to $780,
600. Capt. Perry could identify none of
his money-the greater portion of it hav-
ing been in bills of Baltimore banks"
| The Republic says that the victim to
to this superstitious folly is a man of re-
spectacle standing, and adds:
"We still further have to regret to say
that Captain Perry, on Saturday, not
content with the serious lesson he had re-
ceived, actually visited professional for
tune-tellcr in Washington, to be informed
where it was likely he could find his lost
money"

A Man of no Weight.

Europeans state that there is now ex-
hibiting in Paris man named Jules Lee
baire, who is the wonder of the age. Le-
baire has, by some scientific process, the
secret of which is not disclosed succeeded
in depriving his body of its tendency to
gravitate, retaining the power of recalling
it at will. He is, consequently, enabled
to perform the most marvellous feats.-
He walks, or rather glides, with naked
feet, along the edge of a gigantic razor
without ever raising the skin. He can
balance himself on his head on the point
of the sharpest sword, and will stand on
a delicate needle, placed point upwards,
without even bending it. His last feat
was jumping from the top of the Arc de
Triomphe, and remaining suspended in
the air for half an hour. All the scien-
tifc men in Paris are in a state of the
highest excitement, and it is said that
immense sums have been offered to him
to disclose his secret This is certainly
wonderful if true.

Symptoms Of Old-Maidism.

When woman begins drinking her
tea without sugar-that'S SYMPTOM
When a woman begins reading stories in
bed-tbat's symptom. When she sighs
on hearing of a wedding-that's symp-
tom. When she begins to tell how many
offers she has refused-that's symptom.
When she begins to call men deceitful
creatures and says she wouldn't have one
for the world-that's decided symptom.
When she changes her shoes every time
she comes in from a walk-that's a symp-
tom. When she must have little dog
trotting after her, and when she says a
servant-girl has no business to have a
sweet-heart-that's symptom.
When she begins to rub her fingers o.
yer chairs and tables to see if they are
dusty-that's symptom. When she
goes to bed with her stockings and fan
mel night-cap on-that's symptom
When she puts her fingers before her
mouth when talking lest you might dis
cover her false teeth-that's a symptom.
When she begins to talk about rheumatic
pains in her elbows and knees-that's a
an unfailing symptom. When she refu-
ses to tell her age-that's self-evident
symptom. When she begins to talk about
the dangers of damp feet, and the neces-
sity of excluding the cold air-that's a
symptom.
In short, when she becomes a lean
grabbed, snappish, ricketty concern, dis
playing cheeks pursed up with wrinkles,
and form as spare as hamper, instead
of the rosy plumpness of youth, or the
mellow rotundity of matronly expansion
she may be set down as sure speci-
men of old -maidism.-Brookly Eagle.

families in that city, abounds with poison,
The examination was induced by pre-

report that out of twentyseight samples
purchased at the houses of various re-
tailers, in different parts of the city, and
the productions of almost every maker,
only four were free from sulphuric acid
or oil of vitriol. Twenty-four were adul-
terated with that powerful and corrosive
mineral acid In Philadelphia, also, this
poisonous liquid is made, and sold in
large quantities, and doubtless in all other
cities.

CURE FOR CHAPpED HANDs.-Most Of
our juveniles during the winter season,
are troubled with chapped hands. For
the benefit of the mothers, who are obGg-
ed to listen to their endless complaints,
we publish the following receipt for chap
ped hands:
Take three drachms of gum camphor
three do, white beeswax, three do, sper-
maceti and two ounces olive oil-put
them together in a cup upon the stove,
where they will melt slowly and form
white ointment in few minutes. If the
hands be affected anoint them on going
to bed, and put on pair of gloves. A day
or two will suffice to heal them.

bread in preference to wheat -four, and
says" 1t is very nutritious and will

much better health and condition for

sons who use but little exercise also, rye

sible in its effects.

place, and bind it there, on the principle
of engrafting." This plan, it is said, has
proved successful.
