A CoMPRoMrsE.--Ihe proper def
milton Of the word compromise has
never yet been given in any Of the
dictionaries. The following matter of
actual occurance, not only defines the
meaning, but furnishes an apt illustra-
ton. Stubs bought mule Of Dubbs,
for which he agreed to pay him thir-
ty dollars. Stubs has the mule and
Dubbs has Stubs word for the money.
Possession in nine points in all the
laws that ever wore written. It is
therefore clear, that Stubss has the law
on his side. When Dubbs comes to
Stubs at the time proposed, Stubs
has not the money in full, but he gives
him half the amount and tells him he
will have to take his note and wait for
the other half "until he. Stubs can
get it," If Dubbs murmurs, Stubs

New Orleans is visited by a greater
evil than fires. Its benevolent associ-
ations have appealed to the people of
the north for pecuniary aid, to allevi-
ate the distress Of the dying, and we
blush to record that men who have
made independent fortunes by thier
business relations with the distressed
city, have published their meannes by
paltry subscriptions Of SO. $25 !. and
some rare instances of $50. Other
merchants have said, if these men, in
terested in New Orleans matters, only
give 10 small a sum, we cannot be ex-
pected to subscribe more. Thus, the
example, Of whom much was justly
exrece ed, has exerted great influence
in making the donation from Boston
utterly unworthy Of its liberal charac-
ter Let there be a united effort to
redeem this reproach from the reputa.

The present Sultan is the first Turk

his brother. This dangerous relative
lives, and is regarded as the head Of
the old Turkish party. The Sultan
abbors war and detests capital punish-

music, but, after learning ii all his
life, he has only been able to play one
tune on the piano; it is march, which
the Sultan obligingly plays for every
body on all occasions. He is also very
fond Of Champagne, which he drinks,
under the pretencc that the Koran
only forbids fermented drinks.

EUROPEAN AND. AMERICAN Sum
MERs.-It is a fact known to science,
that when we have warm season in
this country. the reverse is experien-
ced in Europe. While it has been SO
hot and sultry here, for the last few
weeks in Europe it has been cold and
inclement. The circumstance is ac-
counted for in this way that the
zone Of innumerable asteroids in their
revolution are now in such a position
between the earth and sun, as to shut
off the solar rays from the Eastern
Hemisphere, aud to leave them to
strike without obstruction upon the
Western. To these same asteroids
are ascribed those phenomena of dark

RODS, have astonished the people Of
earth.
