of the feast was an attempt TO initiate the
cookery Of Europe. This conjecture was.

the matter by saying, that as the popuia.

to eat our way with what appetite we
might, through the almost boundless extent
of Tartary which, if we had deemed It
necessary to take very copious'y from eve
ry dish, would have proved, fear. for
some of US, to be not very remote from
Tartarus. Be that as it may, the enemy
was before us, and We were compelled TO
face him. After the pig had been taken
from the table to be carved, and brought
back again, the Governor commenced inc
dispensations ofthe Tartar course, by seiz-
ing in his fingers nicely crisped morsel Of

not appear TO be expected that we should

II Il WHIgr.


LADIES RIDING SIDEWAYS. The honor
Of the introduction Of riding sideways BY
women in England is attributed to Anna Of
Bohemia. consort Of Richard II. She il
was according to Stow that originally
showed the women of this country how
gracefully and conveniently they might ride
on horseback sideways. Another old his
torian, endmerating the new fashions Of
Richard Seconds reign. observes: Like
wise noble ladies then used high heads and
corsets, and robes with long trains, and
seats on side saddles on their horses, bp the
example Of the respectable Queen Anna,
daughter of the King Of Bavaria. who FIRST
introduced the custom into this kingdom;
for before women of every rank rode as
men. In the beautiful Illustrative picture
of Chaucer's Canterbury Pilgrims. Stothard
appears to have committed an anachronism
in placing the mostconspicuous female char
acte of his fine compositions sideways on
her steed. That the lady should have been
depicted riding in the female fashion might,
it strikes us, have been inferred, without
any historical research on the subject, from
the poets describing her as having on her
feet ga pair Of spurres-sharpe."

Col. Benton OH Notification and
Office Appointments.

Office Appointments.
Col Benton is out in several letters to the
citizens of Springfield. No., who invited
him to visit their town during his election
ering tour. The Colonel advocates warmly
the American Road to india" and says
the opposition TO it in measure comes from
traitorous publication. He says
"That detestable doctrine which, If car
ricd to the covert act" as General Jackson
showed in his patriotic proclamation, has
long been bane and curse in our State.
It took root among US in 1888, but only
showed itself then in opposition to the pro-
clamation. Il broke out again in 1914. at
the time of the rejection Of the Tyler Texas
annexation treaty; and the first Nashville
Convention was then plotted to dissolve the
the Union; and again in 1848, 40, when
California was acquired, and since then it
has given rise to constant "Arnoldising" in
our State In 1880 it manifested itself in
opposition to the admission of California
that California which is 10 us what the land
of Ophir was to the children of Israel.
and the trade of which has already in
inyigorated every branch of our industry.
and doubled the price of cattle among us.
and which notification would not only have
kept out Of the Union, but pushed back
wards off the rock, like the Jewish scape-
goat. hat its back might be broken. At
tho last sion this same reasonable doc
trine manifested itself in clandestine OPP
position to Nebraska, because it was free
soil, and its creation into the territory would
facilitate the opening of the great road from
the Missouri frontier; and in the like clam
destine support Of a southern sectional route,
because it would be on slave soil, and ac-
commodate Southern States in preference to
our own. All this was ungrateful and
treacherous to the State.
He says he is candidate for United
States Senator, to save the State from multi
ication, and to rebuke traitors who sold the
Office TO a BOBBY. He also desires to &C
complish some iurther good. He speaks in
the strongest terms of condemnation Of some
of President Pierce's appointments. The
President. he says. was deceived By false
representations. to give Offices to scamps,
s.whose legs were never seen crossed under
gentleman's table-Who we're the scum.
and dregs Of all parties--who we're fpgi-
lives from routed fields, or deserters from.

Female influence and Energy.

+ +. p
have noticed, says Washington Irving.
that married man falling into misfortune
is more apt to retrieve his situation il the
world than single one. chiefly because his
spirits are softened and relieved by domes-
tic endearments, and self-respect are kept
alive by findint that although all abroad be
darkness and humiliation, yet there IS still
little world Of love at home. Of which he
is monarch; whereas single man is apt
to run to waste and self.neglect: TO fall TO
ruin like deserted mansion for want Of in
habitants. I have often had occasion to
mark the fortitude with which woman sus-
tains the most overwhelming reYerses of
fortune. Those disasters which break down
the spirit Of man and PROSTATE him in the
dust seem to call forth all the energies Of
the softer sex, and give much intrepiditY
and elevation to their character, that at
times it approaches to sublimity. Nothing
can be more touching than to behold soft
and tender female who had been all weak
ness and dependence. and alive to every
trivial roughnees, while treading file pros
porous path of life, suddenly rising into
mental force, to be the comforter and sup
porter Of the husband under misfortunes,
abiding with unshrinking frmness the Bit
terest blast of adversely. As the vine which
