The Presidents Habits.

The examples of men high in official sta.
lion are of great power. Indeed, in some
civilized countries, as in England, lie high
very power Of example. Our Republican
Rulers should always be the exaclOrs OF
righteousness. They should be exceeding
careful OF the examples which they set. 1t
gives Us great pleasure 10 learn that our new
President, General Pierce, on entering upon
his responsible duties as Chief Magistrate of
the Nation at Washington, has adopted those
examples in moral habits which are honOra-
Bile to him as an American and New Eng
lander. He is a total abstinent temperance
man, eschewing even the use Of wine IN pub
lie or in private. Il gives us great pleasure
10 copy the fOllOwing.-BGnner.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Courier says of General Pierce
that he drinks no wine, and those that en-
Joy an intimate personal acquaintance with
him, say that the bereavements and affiic-
tIons Of his latter years and the pressure of
onerous public duties since his election, have
impressed him with deep sense of religious
responsibility, and given image Of gravity
to his character which forms an observable
contrast with the ardor and vivacity Of his
temperament at earlier periods of his life.
Those papers which charged him before
the election, with habits Of ntemperance
committed cruel ac!-a crime which was
as wicked as il was false and Malicious
And what is worse, they have Dot 10 this day
had the nlanliness TO retract their base accu>
sations.

Choking Cattle.

We recolect well, when upon farm, some
years ago, in the fall. that fine COW got
checked, as cattle often do upon apples or
potatoes, and would very SOON have died it
the obstacle had rot been at once removed
from the passage 10 the stomach, where il
was lodged. Various old remedies were
rried to no purpose. Presently one recol-
lecIed remedy proposed 10 the agricultural
paper a few weeks before. ii is, TO put a
stout cod line round the neck just below the
substance, which can be felt with the hand
OIL The outside, and draw it close. This pre-
vents the piece Of apple or potato, or what.
ever it is, from falling back when the animal
makes an effort 10 throw it out, which they
will almost always do directly, when assisted
in this way. The remedy was at once sue
cessful. The offending morseI proved lobe
the half OF hard green apple. So this little
scrap of newspaper knowledge worth fine
COW Of thirty or forty dollars value. How
can we know beforehand what kind Of knowl-
edge is going TO be most useful TO us? We
cannot. And there is hardly any inlorma.

Things in Australia.

A letter from Melbourne, published in the
New York Tribune. puts rather damper
upon, the prospects Of emigrants to the new
land Of promise. We copy the following
paragraph
"At some of the diggings-the Govern
menl regulations with regard to license fees,
have given rise to serious opposition. The
fee, at present imposed, is thirty shiIlings
sterling per month, to be paid 10 advance,
and at the beginning OF each month. This
fee 10 charged upon plot or claim Of eight
feet square, which is the most allowed to any
one digger. Where there is a party Of iour
found, the claim allowed is eight feet by
sixteen. A license granted in the middle Of
any one mOnth-say the 20th December
only holds good to the beginning Of The ensu-
ing momh-sny the FIRST, or at fathest the
9Th Of January. The number of licenses
granted in the month Of November last, was
50, 900, and il IS computed that there is at
present close upon 200, 900 persons employed
at the diggings. Mechanics, particularly
carpenters and blaCksmilhs, obtain employ
ment readily at wages varying from eighteen
shillings 10 one pound per day. LabOrers up
on the government works receiving some es.,
and more 10, per day. For clerks, &c., there
is no demand. To parties who intend COM
ing to this colony, would say ''be prepared

part Of the authorities, or on that OF the in

The Reindeer and the Seal.

Probably no animal can be found upon our
the existence of race of men, than is the Lap
land reindeer, or the Greenland seal. In the
reindeer the Laplander finds nearly all his
wants supplied. They furnish him with food
and clothing, their skins cover his tents and
form his bed of their milk he makes cheese,
and the whey which remains he considers a
refreshing beverage; from their sinews he
manufactures bow strings, bird snares, and
thread for sewing. Their horns he sells TO be
converted into glue their skins, also, and
tongues, which are esteemed great delicacy,
are sent to Europe and exchanged for cod 6prts
and luxuries; and then the reindeer yoked to
sledge and guided by light cord attached TO
his horns or by the voice Of his driver, con-
veys his master through the longest and most
difficult journeys, and when hard driven, will
run fifty or sixty miles without stopping. The
only food which this faithful domestic requires
is moss; and the Laplander receives more
pleasure fromthe contemplation of a single field
clothed with this essential article, than he
would experience from Witnessing the richest
and most beautiful landscape Of Southern
zone.
But not less important than the reindeer 10
Lapland is the seal to the Greenlanders. Its
fat furnishes oil for lamp light and kitchen fire.
and is used as sauce in their culinary affairs !;
the oil is also highly valuable as an article Of
traffic. and is bartered for all kinds of necessa-
ries. With the fbres of its sinews the Green
landers can accomplish the finest sewing. A
portion of the entrais are used for windows
and doors resembling ground glass in utility
as well as in appearance) as well as for shirts,
and the bladders they attach to their harpoons.
Even the seals blood, when boiled with other
ingredients, is used as soup. For want of iron
the bones were formally manufactured into all
sorts of domestic implements and working tools,
and their skins are used for covering their
tents, making their boats, clothing and many
other article.

Modes of SaIutation.

Greenlanders have none, and laugh at the
idea of one person being inferior to another.
Islanders near the Philippines take per-
sons hand or foot and rub il over his face.
Lapanders apply their noses strongly

In New Guinea they place leaves upon

In the straits Of the Sound they raise the
left foot of the person saluted, pass il gently
over the right leg, and thence over the face.
The inhabitants Of the PHILIPPINES bend
very low, placing their hands on their cheeks,
and raise one foot in the air with the knee
bent.
An Ethiopian takes the robe Of another

tongue.
lie that will not learn 10 spell the language

spelling is, therefore, an unavoidable ndica-
ton. Il indicates bIundering mana man
that cannot see with his eyes open. Ac-
cordingIy, we have known the application of
more than one young man, made with great
display Of penmanship, and parade Of refer

The Fancy Young Man.

This animal is the smallest of all the race Of
human puppies which infest society, 10 the
qualification of young ladies made after the
same dlmlnutive pattern, and 10 the disgust Of
all the male sex who honor manhood and good
sense. The fancy young man is a thing Of the
tailors and the hair-dresser's, his lofiest ambi-
ton being confined entirely TO those arts which
serve to adorn his Insignificant person. Ideas,
like men, are gregarious, and if one should, by
chance, enter that lonely CELL it would with
er and die from the sad effects of solitary coz
fnement If the fancy young man should be
struck with an idea, we have no doubt that it
would prove fatal. No ass should be loaded
with more than he can carry. The fancy
young man is great attender at balls, theatres,
and operas, and generally occupies the most
conspicuous place he can select. At the thea
tire he always contrives to come in about the
middle of the first act, and generally at an
interesting part, for by this means he succeeds
in attracting an attention TO his well-dressed
head, fashionable coat, and kid gloves would
not otherwise receive His entrance into the
box is always with sort Of easy swagger-a
hard imitation Of Indifference, as though he did
not care, although close observer can see
that he is uneasy under the attention he has
invited. 1.-two of these gentry are together,
they will talk 10 loud tone, much to the an
noyance Of those who wish to listen to Shak-
sPeare, rather than TO the driveling nothngs Of
youths gniltless Of a thought. The fancy
young man is not complete without quizzing-
glass to his eye. When we read of the cour-
tiers or Alexander the Great carrying their
heads aside because their monarch was congen-
italy affected with wry-neck, we laugh at
their servility and wonder at their weakness.
A defect in the visual organs has become fash
ionable in high life and now you can find few
persons, male or female, with any pretensions
to upper-tendom, who are not short-sighted. -
That physical defect should be assumed as a
distinction, is quite as absurd as the wry-neck
fashion of Alexander's court
The end of the fancy young man is general
by miserable old age. He had laid up no stores
Of knowledge to relieve him when the dark
hour of life comes, and his mind dwindles and
withers from pure inanition.

Mrs. SoULE.-In conclusion, let me tell
good joke, which Mrs. Senator SOule tells as
happening 10 herself. At one of the crow
ded parties in Washington a gentleman was
introduced 10 her who did not catch her
name in the introduction. In npassing through
the rooms they met Mr.. Soule, Senator from
Louisiana. Mrs. SouIe said she believed il
was. The gentleman than inquired i she
knew Mrs. SouIe, TO which inquiry she nm
swered in the affirmative. He further asked
what sort of looking lady, she was. He said
she could not be handsome or Soule would
bring her with him 10 Washington.
Without waiting for description OF Mrs.
Soule, the gentleman commenced telling that
Mr.. Soule was great lavorite with the ladies'
in Washington; that the other day he no.
iced n shower of boquefs thrown on him
from the galleries oi the Senate by the ladies,
after concluding his grear speech on Cuban
affairs. This rather excited Mrs. Soule's
jealousy, and she replied that in New Or
leans ladies' received boqueIs but never
gave them. About this stage Of CONVERSE
lion, some one came up and SAID, How do
your. do, Mrs. Sonle, l am very happy 10
meet you this evening" The gentleman dis
covered his mistake, and laughed himself out
of il. Let me add that Mrs. Soule is very
charming and sweet lady, and has beauty
enough TO accompany her husband any
where in this wide world, and be loved ny

THE OLDEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD
The Charleston Standard thinks that Mrs.
Singleton now living in the Williamsburg
district, in that State, is the oldest woman in
the world. She is now in the one hundred
and thirty. first year of her age. Her mental
faculties are still unimpaired, and she retains
all her senses except that of sight, of which
she was deprived at the advanced age OF
ninety-nine years, by an attack Of measles.
Her bodily energy exhibits no diminution
for many years, she being sul able TO walk
briskly about the room. She has outlived
all her children, her oldest descendant living,
being granddaughter, over sixty years old.
The first granddaughter Of the grand-daugh>
ter, if now living, would be over sixteen
years of age.
