a YANKEE AT THE CRYSTAL Palace
As We were standing in the picture gallery
of the Crystal Palace taking memoranda Of
its contents tail ill dressed Vermonter. at-
tracted probably by the benignity of our Wis
age, addressed u.s.
stranger, what mought they charge to let
Teller i'll this ere show!"
why doyou ask; YOU paid at the entrance,

a-a-s didn't pay nothin'; eff yew see

How did you gain admittance, then3"
"Wa-a-a, yew see traded with boy out
there for Herald, and gin him an extra cent
to holer fire" and when the man with the
brass thing on his coat looked around. | kin
der edged in behind him"
OF course we exprcssed our indignation, and
were about to leave him when he seized our
button hole, saying quickly,
Say, Mister; don't be riled, guess they'll
never miss it. Yew talk so all fired honest,
guess yew must be a newspaper feller; been
takin' notes amt you? I've hearn bout this
short hand"
We assented; and he resumed:
Mought yewr name be Greeley, Mister?
because | seed niger wench looked Jest like
few gitice Niger; and, eff she is, its bully
chance for you to spread-wont cost nothin,'
nuther."
We denied that imputation, when lie con-
tnued IL alters like newspaper chaps cause
they're so cle.er. Been III the fine arts my
self; taught school three winters-eichteen
dollars month, and boarded reound."
We next stopped to view the fine specimens
Of perfumery, among which were busts made
Of solid soap. "Hulo" said Yankee, nosing
the goods, q guess these is made of grave stun,
amt they"
No, they are made Of soap"
Before We couldprevent him he had pinch
ed it to satisfy himself. "Wa-a-al guess it is,
it feels sopoiiterous, any way; smells raIeapo-
cryphaltew, don'tit! jest like old Mr.. SIoculn's

Al few steps brought lis to the statuary, where
number of persons were silently gazing at
Powers statue of the Greek Slave.
"Mister," said he, after a moments inspec-
ton, pointing to the chains upon her wrists,
"aohats that creeter hoppled tor"
The bystander reared, and we endeavored
to explain to him the nature of the subject
and to prevent him from handling it as he
was bent upon doing, pointed to the pacard
requesting visitors NOT TO TOUCH THE ARrI-

The Mormons and Polvgamv.

A new question is likely to arise in politics.
"Shall the Mormons, with their polygamy,
be admi ted into the Union?" We wish to
commit ourselves in advance, and say yes,
certainly to be sure, why not? We have
thirteen States now, in which polygamy is
practiced and provided for by the law. We
have an administration whose chief business
it is to defend ,.spread, and perpetuate the in
stitution. Now, we like variety, and as these
thirteen States have all one kind of polygamy,
and the Mormons another, we want the Salt
Lake folks, to make up collection. We have
long been i'll national communion with set
Of men who keep concubines and sell their
children. We should like aspecimen Of those
who educate and support all their offspring
To our mind a plurality of wives is decent
and proper compared to purchasing mistress
es like sheep, as do our brethren of the South
or yet to licensing brothels and gaming and
drinking houses, as do the "tathers" of our
Eastern cities.
While men are sole Legislators, they will
always provide for their own vices, and we
think the Mormons have taken by far the
most decent course. The present members
of tbs confederacy have not been and are not
so very circumspect in their own morals that
they need be very prudish about their com
Iany. -Satuday Visitor

new palace, which the Builder thus de
scrbcS -
The palace is of stone and marble; the
workmanship is very common; the frontage
extends along the Bosphorus, from Dolma
Baktche to Bcshik Trsh and must have a
facade Of upwards of one thousand feet; the
situation is exquisite. The palace is like
Il town in extent. The chimney pieces are
ofcrimson-coloured crysta! and painted china !;
the floor is Of china; and the basin of the
fountain enamled slate, exqui>itely painted
with flowers. The principal floor comprises
vast halls and apartments, fitted up in most
costly manner in gliding aud painting, execu-
ted by Italians and natives. The baths are
flied up with Egyptian alabaster. The roof
is covered with lead all the Sultan's palaces,
and only these, are covered with that metal.
The great staircase is lighted by large sky
light Of crimson-eoloured glass. The ceilings
ale generally low. The harcm Of the palace
contains apartments for three or four hundred

BRUTAL MURDER AT NIAGARA FALLs.-Bv
the Lockport Courier, We learn that most
horrible murder was committed near the Sus-
pension Bridge on Sunday evening last. 1t
seems thaa a man named Thomas Costello
was charged with stealing some money from
a woman, and a man living near the Bridge,
whose name we have not learned, took the
pant of the woman. This cnraged Costello,
and just at eve, Sunday, he decoyed this man
from his house to the bank Of the river, where
he pitched him erthe precipice, killing him
instantly. The murderer fed over the bridge
into Canada, and at last accounts had not
been taken.

THE Enquirer relates funny piece of bust
ness in which the principal participant was a
Clevelander. 1t says:
"a few weeks since Benedict, whose sill
very hair proclaimed him OH the wrong side
of fifty, came to Cincinnati Being a man of
taste as well as of means, he made the-House
his residence. The morning after his arrival
he visited the magnificent saloon of our friend
A-F-who observingthat his customers hair
and whiskers wore very wintry appearance,
suggested the propriety Of his getting them
dyed. Now, our nero, not being addicted to
vanity, at first objected, but A swore that
it was a shame such slken locks with a nat
ural wayy curl, should be allowed to retain Its
frosty character, and the gentleman finally re-
signed his Uranium to the hands of A,
who very speedily-by the he p Of "C--a's

er anti4uated specimen OF gentleman in the

Adonis, oftwenty-cight. The transformation
was most gratifying TO our hero, who being
rather a good looking fellow, felt proud Of
himself, and accordingly displayed his hand
some figure for several days in the principal
promenades of the city. His business con

where he arrived at night, and going straight
way to his house. was admitted, IN the dark,
by his anxious spouse. Going to his apart
ment, he undressed himself, and without the
tormality of striking light, got into bed, and
in a short time was closely folded in the arms
Of his atfectionate wife ard of Morpheus. The
morning beams Were dancing in diamond
splendor upon the floor of the b,d-chamJer,
when he was awakened by terrific s.ream,
and starting up he discovered his better half
rushing terrified from the room. Quick as
thought he sprang from his bed and followed
her. visions of madness floating through his
imagination. At length shereachcd the par

outright BY dint Of sal volatile and other
restoratives she was shortly revived, when ga
ling upon her husband who was mournfuly
bending over her she exclaimed that she was
ruined, dishonored and undone
ABE calm dearest said he, so3thinglv.
At the sound of the voice she started and
gave one piercing look, and as she recocniz-
cd the we'll known features, burst into tears,
and sprung into his arms. 1t appears that
upon waking, instead of the familiar "frosty
pow of her liege lord she discovered redun-
dant quantity of dark brown hair and wills
kers. This caused her alarm, and fight from
the marital couch The la ", who is many
years the junior, is perfectly charmed with the
alteration, and feels quite proud Of her otd

AuTUMN.-Henry Ward Boecher moral
lies in the following manner upon Autumn:
but there is as much life IN autumn as
death, and us much growth and creation as is
passing away. Every flower has left its house
full Of seeds; no leaf has dropped till bud
was born to it. Already another year is hid
den among the declining flowers. Along
the banks, the green heart-shaped leaves Of
violet tell me that it is all well at the /, OF,
and on turning the soil find these spring
beauties that died to be only sleeping. Heart,
take courage! What the heart once had it
shall never Iose.-There is resurrection-hope,
not alone in the sepulchre of christ, but, as
that sepulchre was in the garden, SO every
tree, and every root are annual prophets sent
to affirm the future and cheerthe way. Thus,
as birds, to teach their little ones to fly, do
first fly themselves, and show the way and
us guides'that would bring the timid to VEN
ture into the dark facade ford, do first 90
back and forth through it, so the year and all
its mighty mutitudes Of growths walk in and
out before us to encourage our faith of life by
death; Of decayiug for the sake Of better
growth. Every seel and every bud will
pers to us toseture, while the leaf is vet green,
that germ which shall live when frost have
DESTROYED leaf and flower"

Fears are entertained in Arkansas lest the
Indian country lying west of that State shodld
become alienated from the interests Of slave
rv. 1t seems that the Indians now own ne
groes, but the high prices which prevail for
that sort of property, renderit likely that spec
ulators will go among them and buy up all
they have This being done, the Indians
will no longer be the sure supporters of slave
holding, and the abolition cause may per
haps get foothold among them. Then
there will he no means of recapturing runa-
ways, who escape to their territory, and the
planters Of Arkansas will suffer accordingly.
The remedy proposed is to prohibit the intro
duction of slaves into the State from Indian
country; by this means the Indians will he
compelled to rerpetuate the institution and
all danger Of future free States being formed
out of their territory will be obviated.

Stare Catcher Whipped.-We learn that
a slave owner, who arrived in this city a few
days since, from Kentucky. in pursuit Of some
of mis- goods and chattles,' went over to Can

On finding them he began to urge the sub
ject Of their voluntary return, holding out to
them the certainty of being we'll treated and
well provided for in their old age, and CON
trastiug their prospects If they returned, with
the cold climate of the Canadas, and the life
of toll and privaton they woul1 be obliged
to lead in the enjoyment Of their liberty.
While talking they were walking towards
the old untenanted barracks, and on reaching
the barack yard he runaways seized the hun
ter, and tying hs wrists together, they sus-
pended him from the limb of tree, when
they proceeded to give him good hundred
lashes, well laid on with stout rawhlde wiel-

years of ilI-treatment Although decidedly op-
posed to everything approaching lynch-law,
