| Who IS THE GENTLEMAN 1.-The
Philadelphia Ledger has asked thi;
question, and answered it. The an.
swer is not satisfactory. It's ill-suited
to the times, having too much Of the
Chesterfield and Count Dorsey about
it. The Times says: 1.-THE true gen.
tleman always respects the feelings Of
others, and only violates this rule
when superior considerations compel
him, as, Tor instance, when he has to
expose q knaxe."
The very reverse Of this, is the
modern gentleman, he respects him
self, and his own feelings first and if
possessed of any surplus revenue in
this way, gives it to others as condo
scension. When he departs from
this rule, be unmasks the knave by
exposing himself: The Times says
again, in answer to his own questions,
THE true gentleman never "cuts"
an acquaintance" We know not
what the Times means about "cuts."
The True gentleman, makes it his
business to ascertain the vaIue of ev-
cry man and woman in the communi-
,y, and regulates his attention accord
ingly. He gives condescending
wave of the hand to "a Thousand"
accompanies the same with pleasant
smile at five thousand--bows low to
ten thousapd-lower to twenty, and
takes his hat off to fifty.
Speaking Of gentleman-some years
ago-when the wharf boat Princess
was new-and alas, the embers Of the
wreck hav ejust gone out-When tie
Princess was new and had comfot-
able beds, breakfasts, and bar fixtures,
a certain Doctor Of eccentric motion
took lodging thereon. He boarded
until the beds wore out, the breakfast
things we're broken, and the bar went
dry. Then be left for more comfort
able quarters, ard as "remembran-
Ger he bequeathed to the proprietor
of the wharf, an unreceip.el bin, as
long as the boats keel. About two
years after, the proprietor of the wharf
met Doct-- in Lafayette street
stopped him--spoke--asked him where
and hoao he bad BEEN To all of
which the Doctor said nothing for
moment, but scanned the stranger
with distru-rful eye at length he
was free to say Sir THINK | have
seen you before-you have the al
vamtage of me- He did not deny his
old friend and creditor, when the ideu-
tity was established but taking him
by the hand in the most grateful and
gentlenomly manner, took him in
for as much more as bis former indcbt-
edness.
This, Mr.. Philadelphia Transcript
is good sample-and true of mod
ern Gentleman-a gentleman without
any mawkish sentimentailty or stale
maxims o!morality-a gentleman par
excellence.

respondent of the N. Y. Courier and

says;
The report OF NIr. Manyrenny,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, is an
elaborate document. He advises ad-
di1ional appropriations for the cxtin-
gnishment of the Indian title to Neb-
raska territory, and for their removal
farther west. This report contains
some interesting statements concern
ing that region. 1t proves that all
the reports OF white settlements in,
and emigration iotbe territory are I'M
founded. The Indians have a title
to all the lands worth possessing, but
they live under the worst influences,
and viii be speedily removed. Near
~ all the votes, amounting to above
five hundred, given for Territorial
Delegate to Congress were deposited

THE NORTH CAROLINA TWINS, We
find in the Ste,hoscope, a valuable Medical
Journal published II Richmond, Va, an &C
count by the Editor, DR. Gooch, of this re-
markabe freak Of nature. These two child
rem were born in July. 1851 The mother is
a stout negress, aged 81, very fat, and of
large frame. They are remarkably sprightly
and healthy children, of natural size, one
somewhat larger than the other, and are per-
fectly formed, but they are united at the
sacra-the lower termination of the back.
Ihe bond OF union seems to be chiefly car
tilaglnouS, but the sacra are so closely ap.
proxlmaled, that some suppose there is os.
seous union ofthose bones. The anatomical
confirmation has some strange PECULIAR
ties interesting to professional men which
we omit.
Their usual position is on their sides
1.-THE light side of the smaller, and the left
OF the other) with their neck bent so as ia
put the face upwards. Having now grown
tor year in the recumbeni posture thus
bent, their faces and hands have become
somewhat distorted literally. The mother
nurses them by lying first on one side, then
on the other. She handles them awkwardIy
and seems 10 have little idea of managing
them. From their spnghtIy and intelligent
countenances, there is reason to hope tina,
they will soon acquire an education in the
arts OF sitting and locomotion. They mus
SIT back on one common seat, and take i,
by turns which IS to walk forwards while the
other must lock step backwards la mill.
tairc. They are far more wonderful than
the famous Slamese Twins. They are
owned by Mr.. Pnrvis.

Minnesota is destined to be great ag-
ricuItural region and its prairies are espe
cialy well calculated for the raising of
stock. There is also such an extent of wa

there is every reason to believe that mann.

those scientific men who have explored the
country justify us in the suppostlon that
our Territory is rich in iron and copper
ores, and more particularly in galena or
lead. There is good ground for the be-
lief that coal also will be found, but that
problem Is not yet satisfactorily solved
Should it be discovered in any consldera,

advantage to Minnesota than mines OF sill.
