The SANDWICH IsLAEps.-ln the ma
ture of things the Sandwich Islands must
undergrad political change within brief
space of time. The New York Tribune
has adyices, the substance Of which is
given, as follows:
"By private advices from the Sand
witch Islands, we learn that the question
of commencing negotiations for the U.
States, upon such conditions as will Sc
cure to the inhabitants all their civil
rights and their property, is being dis
cussed by the foreign residents in the is
land. 1t is the opinion of our correspon-
dent that the general desire for such a
cession will operate upon the minds of
the kings and chiefs. The representa-
tives of Great Britain and France are
very much disturbed at this state Of facts.
Accordingly, on August 80, they asked
an audience with the king and pri-
Wy council, "for the purpose of express
sing their sentiments respecting some
occurrences which they conceive deep
ly involve the sovereignty of the king
and the independence of the islands. -
This has been granted, to take place af-
ter the date of our dispatches. If these
representatives speak highly of Ameri-
can sympathy and SO forth, it is suppos-
ed there will result state of feeling
which will drive the king to an imme-
date application to President Pierce. We
ry possibly the question of annexing the
islands may be brought before the next
congress.

For THE LApIEs.-Theodora Parker
in recent sermon, uttered the fol! ow-
ing, touching Women:
There arc three classes Of WON en-
First domestic drudges, who are who'll
ly taken up in the material details o!
their housekeeping, husband keeping and
childkeeping. Their housekeeping is a
trade and no more; and after they have
done that there is nothing mere which
they can do. In New England it is a
small class, getting less every year.
Next, there are domestic dolls, wholly
taken up with the vain show which
delights this eye and the ear. They are
ornaments of the estate. Similar toys,
| suppose, will one day be more cheaply
manufactured at Paris, Nuremberg, al
Frankfort en-the- Maine, and other toy
shops of Europe, out of way and papiar-
mache, and sold in Boston at the haber
dashers, by the dozen. These ask moth
ing beyond their function as dolls and
hate all attempts to elevate woman
kind.
But there are domestic women, who
order house and are not mere dolls
but women. Some Of these--a great
many of them-conjoin the useful of the
drudge and the beautiful of the
doll into one wemanhood, and have
great deal left besides. They are MOI
wholly taken up with their function al
housekeepsr, wife and mother"

ENGLAND AND AMERIcA.-Thacksry
has returned to England, we'll pleased
with his visit to the United States
His friends say that he speaks Of The A
mericans in the highest terms-of tLeir
hospitality, their chivalry, and their in
telligence. The English people, SO far
as have been able to Judge from inter
course with several classes, cherish the
most friendly feelings towards America.
Their jealousy is sometimes excited,
when we come in competition with them ;
their self-estesm is at times wounded,
when we refuse to acknowledge their
assumption Of superiority; but they re-
ally taks pride in our rapid growth, and
rejoice in our pros perity. Such men as
Richard Golden, for instance, fully un-
derstand our Institutions and the charac-
Ter of our people, and value them at
their real worth; and such men repre-
sent very large and influential portion
Of the English people.
AS 1t respects our laws, our instit,i-
tons, our forms of judicial procedure,
our language and our literature, our re-
Iligion and fundamental character, we
must recognize full fraternity with the
English, although SO many ingredients
enter into the character of our popula-
ton. New England was settled by En-
glishnen, chiefly Of ths Puritan stamp.
Scarcsly half century elapsed ere i'm
migration stopped. The population, Of
course, was homogeneous from the start,
and SO continued. The Southern Allan
tic States were almost exclusively cole
| nized by Englishmen, and there has since
been but slight admixture of any other
material. But from these two sections
have gone cut the populations, and SEN
Itiments, and usages, and Institutions,
that have built up, ard moulded the
States of the great West. The Dutch,
German and Swedish elements which
prevailed SO largely in New York, Penn
sylyania, and New Jersey, SO far from
conflicting with Anglo-S axonism, as it is
callsd-or, in other words, with the En-
glish element-harmonized with it, and
became tributary to it. Thus English
/ civilizatlon became the fundamental civ
iii1aslon Oh all the Ctates, and so contln~
ues; for the Celtic element, which, du-
ring the last twenty-five years has been
SO largely infused into our population,
has not changed it essentially, though il
has undoubtedly, modified it in its ester-
nal aspects. In earnestness, in religious
feeling, IN energy, in enterprise, in So
briefly of judgement, in practical views,
in self-esteen, in intense individualism.
in proud scorn of desposism, in the ca
pacity of selfgovernment, we give evil
dence Of our English origin; but we re-
semL;e the French more than the En-
lglish as il regards yiyaciiy. i'm rsslsi~~sl
ness, boldness of speculation, amiability,
lpoliteness, tastes, &c. We take our
fashions from France, and every Ameri-
can who visits Paris will be struck by
the fact that wa Look like the French,
and more like them than the English
In size, we are English; in face, French !;
in form, ourselves. 1t is very curious
to see the Celtic element thus coming
out in what may be called the surface or
exterior of our people. = Dr.. Bailey in
the National Era.

BY COVER & GOLDSMITH. !

Docrons.--If we examine the life of
the practicing physician, we find it gild-
ed and shining on the surface but be-
meath the spangles, how much pain and
hardship The rracticing physician is
one of the martyrs Of modern socicety !:
he drinks the cup of bitterness, and emp
ties it to the dregs. He is under the
weight of an immense responsibility, and
his reward is but too often injustice and
'lngratitude. His trials begin at t,l- We
ry gates of his career. He spend his
youthful years in the exhausting i.yes-
tlgation of anatomy he brsathes the air
OF putretaction, and is daily exposed to
all the erils of contagion. View him
in the practice of his difficult art, which
he has acquired at the risk of his life |!
lie saves or cures his patient; it is the
result OF chance, or else it is alleged that
1t is nature, and nature alone, that cures
disease, and that the physician is only
useful for form sake. Then, consider
the notifications he has to undergo.
when ne sees unblushing ignorance win
the success which is denied TO his learn
ing and talents, and you will acknowl-
edge that the trials Of the physician are
not surpassed i'll any other business of
life. There is another evil the honora-
bic physician has to contend with--a hid
eous and devouring evil, commenced by
the world, sustained by the world, and
seemingly forevermors destined to be an
infiction upon humanity. This evil is
Quackery, which takes advantage Of that
deplorable instinct which actually seeks
falsehood, and prefers it to truth. How
often do we see the shameless and igno-
rant Spectator arrest the public atten-
ton, and attain fortune, while neglect, OBJ
security, and poverty are the portion of
the modest practitioner, who has embra-
ced the profession of medicine with con-
scientiousness, and cultivates it with dig
nifty and honor.-[ Professor Carnocan.

JURrEs OF WoMEN.-The great num-
her of aggravated assaults committed by
men on their wives in England has led
one of the London journals to recon-
mend a new punishment for such oiien-
res as well as a novel method of award
ing it. The proposition is to try all such
assaults by a jury Of women, partly .
obtain fairer verdict partly TO cover
the criminal with ri3icule.

crop Of corn, potatoes, melons, squa.hes

crop of corn, potatoes, melons, squashes
or pumpkins, or something that requires
to be plowed and hoed: but we should
always bear in mind, that in taking of
other crops we are taking from the land
all the elements of fertility, and depri-
ing it Of vegetable mould, which is al
ways essential to growth and produc-
tiveness.
But as this article may be read by
some who prefer to rear fruit-trees from
seeds, which is the natural way it may
be proper fer me TO make few sugges-
tons about the best manner of raising
seedlings. 1t is we'll established fact
with scientific Pomelogists, that seed :
lings are longer lived than grated trees
although they dc not always produce
choice fruit from seeds in the shortest
time. / would recommend that the seeds
be pla nted just where the trees are te
stand in the orchard. The proper .ime
for this is in the fall, as soon as the
seeds are taken out Of the 4fr.sis, lest
they become dry and refuse tSyegetsse
It would be best 10 plant quite a num-
Der in each place a. they will not all
grew, and some that de may be unthrif-
ty. When they come up in the spring
let those only remain which make the
rapidest growth and have the thickest
stems and the fewsst thorns. There
should not any grass or weeds of any
kind be suffered to grow near them un-
til after the latter end Of July; let them
alone until about the first of November
when it will be proper to throw mound
of earth around them, to prevent the
rabbits from gnawing them, and keep
them from being winter-kiIled. About
the middle Of April uncover them BY
bringing the earth to level. IF the
land is well cultivated the first seas on
and it is not too dry, apple trees will
reach the height Of 20, or "a inches,
which is as high as they should grew
before they begin to form their heads
Experience has fulley demonstrated that
trees with low tops will grow more ra.
lpidly and produce fruit earlier thaa
those that are run away up above a
mans head before they are allowed t
form any limbs. BY this treatment the
trees will not be SO much inclined to
lean nsrthward or eastward. It shoult
be remembered that the growth of al
trees, whether Apple, Pear or Cherry
will be greatly accelerated by frequen
washings with weak I've or soap suds
during the growing seasons and it is
certain that high, dry location Is better
than low wet one. And it is begin.
ming to be understood tina. money anc
labor judiciously expended in raising ar
orchard is the safest investment farne,
can make. Two crops of fruit after o
tree has come into full bearing at pres
ent prices would amply repay all labor
and expenses in its production.
There are great many more things
that | might say on the subject; but as
this article is already extended to con-
siderable length, will bring it to a
close by remarking that we have the
greatest inducements to cultivate fruits,
as our soil and climate ara admirably
calculated to bring forth delicious fruits
such as the apple, pear, plum and cher

RARE GAME.-On Thursday last two
persons in Litchfeld, Conn, shot a
strange animal, which scientific men have
decided to be sloth, of the same kind
as are found in South America. He
measured from head to tail 2S inches
and had hair longer than that on those
found in warmer climates, probably to

through old Mexico, which would re-
quire an outlay Of at least enty-five
millions, to begin with to by the right

On the other hand, Messrs Campbell,
McClelland and Marcy are in favor of
the Central, or Bsntou's route, along
which through the Rocky Mountains,

Marcy are in favor of plenty of grass.
Mr.. Dobbin stands alone He is in
favor of the route. by Cape Horn, as af-
fofding the best maket for North Caro-.

to go the same figure, to some except
See their speeches en- route from Wash
ington TO the Crystal Palace, in June

Messrs, Campbell, McClelland, Marcy
and Dobbin limit their constitutional ideas
TO grants of land and the right of way,
leaving the building of the road to pri-
vate enterprise. In this way they ex-
pect the work can be accom- plised, sin

of the next century.
The President will fight shy on this
question in his message, because Benton
intends making this Pacific road, and the
high grass of the Central route, the par

the coming Congress; and if the admin

them down. His plan is 10 build the

this plan he proposes -:
