I
casionally we hear of the proceedings
OF distinguished travellers from abroad
and now and then some super-sapient
citizens Of adjoining States, takes up
his note book, and does the world the
service to travel about, to obtain
knowledge for the people, which is
generally done up in a neat paste
board volume with gilt letters, and
shows to great advantage in the stalls
of the bookseller.
Some of our countrymen seem to
be so fully impressed with the fact
that they have been called by Heaven,
as flights to shine" that they even bur-
den the world with their own private
sayings and doings, and gives us not
only letters "sent" but letters received
during long and tedious life, very
wastefully and unproftably spent, in
writing letters and miscellanies. A
Notwithstanding author, is not to
be endured, and a lady who so far
gives upher good common sense
and the tspectability of her sex, as to
travel am play the peddler of her own
book of Prose Poems," is something
that sours us against all authors--do-
nestle and foreign--itinerant and res

of travelling tricksters, against whom
we should like to bear, the whole
weight of indignation. The question
is, how do they get in the cabin? In
nine cases out often, it is by represent

EX There is a law in Russia where
by every man or woman found drunk
in the streets, is compelled to spend
a few hours in sweeping the streets,
under the surveillance of the Police.
They are thus exposed to the public
gaze. It is pronounced a "great pre-
tentative" of intemperance.
STATUES OF THE UNITED STATES
Mr.. SUMNER recently submitted the
following important resolution to the
Senate, which was considered by I'M
animous consent, and agreed to:
Resolued, That the Commute on
the Judiciary be instructed to consider
the expediency of providing by law
for the appointment of commission
to revise the public statues Of the Z.
States, to simplify their language, to
correct their incongruities, to supply
their deficiencies, to arrange them in
order and to report them thus impro-
we'd, to Congress, for their final action,
to the end that the public statues,
which all are presumed to know, may
be in such a form as to be more with
in the comprehension Of all.

TThe following jus. flow Of merit
ed Indignation, is taken from the 10
ca! columns of the True Delta. We
heartily endorse every word Of it, and
as corrective, suggest that the mas
culine brutes, receive. their punishment
from the hands Of the opposite sex,
in lashes well laid on, in the very Halls
of Justice itself.
Not day passes without our city =
fair fame is not polluted by the foul
deeds of unhung vagibonds, who are
mentally and morally, calculated to
bring disgrace to the gallows upon
which-if they get their due they
will eventually swing. Dark, debasing
and barbarous inhumanities inflicted
by husbands on wives, and by men on
women with whom they live without
the sanction of the law, are contin-
ually brought to the notice of the Re-
corders of the several Districts. The
women--forgiying creatures--after
causing the arrest Of the offending
masculines, generally yield to the sug-
gestion ofthe angel that is within them,
and either Withdraw the complaint, or
fail to prosecute. This should not be
so. On every woman.beater's brow
the brand of infamy should be burned
deeply il, and they should be made
to work on the streets in the degrada-
ton of the chain gang, so that all true
men might know them and shum them.
We have become tined of noticing
the cases Of the offenders individually.
