WASHINGTON AFrArgs.-The friends Of
Mr.. Buchanan still say that he has declined;
but democrats Of HIGH standing think the
difficulty will be settled at Philadelphia, where
Mr.. Buchanan and the President will meet.
Some rounily assert that Marcy aims to
drive Buchanan into the Opposition ranks, in
order to work his political destruction.
Maj. J. Il. Burnett, of No., anti Bcntonite,
has been appointed Consul to Bahia
Peter &. Washington has b:en appointed
Acting Secretary Of the Treasury, during the
absence of Secretary Guthrie.
The Republics home gossipping cores
pendent furnishes the following:
Mr.. Buchanan is getting "no better very
fast. Indeed his ''indi.position" towards the
Administration is apparently assuming Il
chronic type. The r,lmor on cverybody's
tongue is, that the PENNSYLVANIA bachelor will
throw up the Fngsh. mission
The Hon. Thor as H. iiayly, Of Virginia,
is in town. Rumor say, that there isa, pro-
liability that the mission TO France will be
rendered him, and that the Hon. Henry a.

Trying SITUATION FOR MoTHER.-A few
days since, n daughter of Mr. Isaiah Sawtcle,
of Belgrade, Me-, about two years old, fell
into well, eighteen feet deep. The mother
was informed of the accident, but when she
arrived, the little one had sunk in four feet
Of water. She ran to neighbours, twenty
rods or more, for assistance, Int found none.
Returning, she lowered the wcll-pole to the
bottom, and brought the child to the surface,
the little thing clingingt to the pole with its
hands. The mother raised it 4 few feet, when
its hold relaxed, and it again sank. Again
she lowered the pole, which coming in con-
tact with the little hands, it was taken with
death grasp, and the child thus drawn up
twenty feet to its mothers arms. Notwith-
standing it was apparently dead ut the time,
by proper excrtions it was restored to life.

BALTIMORE AND BUFFALO ARE
t\'rIpnDES

These words, says the New York Mirror,
President Pierce is reported to have recently
uttered with peculiar emphasis. The story
is, that, while engaged in conversation at the
White House with Il party Of politicians, he
suddenly raised his voice and finger, and
with Il flashing eye, said: 81 ~W mark ercry

GENERAL CAss.-During oar visit to De-
troit, in company with u number of friends,
we called on the venerable statesman and
patriot, Lewis Cass. We found him at his
old mansion in excellent health, ENJOYING a
good old age, with all the comforts of life
blooming around him. With nations re-
spect and esteem, he feels that it is hotter to
be right than to be President. He lives no.
exactly in II log cabin, bat in the same sub
stantial old brown frame house erected Oh
his farm, soon after the war of 1912. In
looking on this mansion there was, however,
one melancholy reelection. She who for the
last forty years has been the life and light Of
that mansion-thc hope, the comfort and tho
joy Of lis lords no more. The old states
man is left to tread the paths of life, with the
evening shades gathering around him, unsus-
taincd by that strong hand which was his

whose establishment his father perilsd his
life, the benefits Of his counsel and advice -

TIE VERY AMIABLE MAN-Wc would al
most rs soon hear man called pretty as
amiab!e-and, Of all things We hate in this
world, it is one Of those barber's-bust men,
which silly girls declare SO pretty.
The 'amabc man" is one of those non.
committal milk-and water, characterless be-
ings, who is never out of temper. lie smiles
at anything, and bears the greatest troubles
with an unrulfled brow.
We think it may be set down as fixed
rule, that the man who is never out of temper,
but always wearing smile upon his face, is
either knavc or fool The woman who
never shows the lovely sentiment of blush,
is not one to be trusted over much; and the
man who cannot be reused to IN honest in
dignation, never need be tried as friend, for
he will smile, and smile, and be villain.

certain the work will now be pushed ahead

the interest Of the contractors TO have the
job finished rs soon rs possible, rs every
delay that occurs, no matter from what cause,
must result in losses to them. In fact, the
only way in which money can be made at
such business, is TO drirc the work ,irh.
through! That's what Mr. Gcttys intends to
do with his contract We are assured, and we
are confident that if there has been any
cause for complaint heretofore at the pro-
grcss Of the work, there will DO none here
after. While on the subject, it sometimes
happens that complaints are INDUCED in
without just cause and BY persons who will
not take the trouble to inform themselves Of
the facts Such course does little harm ut
home, where all the parties are known, and
the motives, if there be any, arc understood;
but it is calculated to result injuriously
abroad by impairing public confidence in the
completion Of the work. Give them u fair

their power to complete the work at the
earliest possible hour, we shall not attempt
