THr FACE OF A Man UPON THE TOP
OF HIS HEAD.-In the city Of New
York, where rents are SO ruinously
high, and competition is so ceaseIessIy
active and energetic, almost every
method that it is impossible for human
ingenuity to invent, is rcsorted to, for
the purpose of obtaining customers,
extending trade or making ssmore mo-
ney." Of all these methods, one of
the most extraordinary and at the same
time simple, not effective in its way.
is that by which the daguerreotype
process is made to play anoveland con.

of the enterprising hatters in that me-
tropolis, has daguerrean gallery con.

tory, expressly fitted up and devoted
for the accommodation and benefit OF
his own customers. On purchasing a
covering for your caput in this store,

THREE O'CLOCK ON SATURpay.-
We have often been puzzled TO know. :.
why it is, that people in other ma
tions can earn their subsistence with
half their minds, whilst we seem
obliged to throw our whole soule IN.
to the business. We should also
like to understand, why, in these
days, when steam does most Of the
hardest work, We should have to toll
as a. many hours every day as our
toretathers did, whose acquaintance
With steam was derived chiefly from,
a slumberous observation Of the tea
kettle. For century, engenious
men have been contriving labor saw.
ing machines; but whose labor has
been saved thereby? It used 70
take the farmer half the Winter to
thresh out his grain; he does It now
In one day: but he is as busy as ever.
What is the use of having the pa-
tent office packed with models, and
of having labor.saving machinee in
every shop, and house. barn, and
shed, if after all, most of us is obliged
to work as hard and as long as peo-.
pie did in the good old stupid davs'
before the revolution. None, that
we can see. But it seems the good
time is boming at last. On a large
number OF wholesale stores, down

llHitcracy i'm England.

The following statement of the ex-
traordinary degree Of ignorance pre-
.vailingin England is made in Dickens s
Household Words" 1t is observed
that it might we'll challenge belief
were it not founded on official and au-
thentic sources:
it is calculated that there are in
I$ss $sstngland and Wales 100000 per-
sons who can neither read nor write
that is to say, about one-third of the
population including of course infants;
but of all the children between five and
fourteen, more than one half attend no
place of public instruction. These
statements-compilcd by Mr.. Kay
from official and other authentic
sources for his work on .he social con-
dition and education Of the poor in
England and Europe-would be hard
to believe if we had not to encounter in
our everyday life degrees of iIIiteracy
which would be startling if we were
not thoroughly used to it. Wherever
we turn, ignorance, not always allied
TO poverty, starcs US in the face. If
ne look at the Gazette ut the list of
partnerships dissolved, not 4 month
passes but some unhappy man, rolling
perhaps in wealth, but wallowing in
ignorance, is put to the experimentum

We have printed already specimens of
the partial ignorance which passes un-
der the pen of the post office authnri-
ties, and may venture to assert that
such specimens OF pcnmanship and or

B5~ An affray of terrible ma
ture took place at hotel at Mt.
Washington, KY, on the 24th;nst.
between S. G. Beard, formerly a
school teacher, and Mr.. McMeekiD
and MIR. Moore, of Mt. Washington,
during which some ten or twelve
shots were exchanged Mr.. Me-
Meekin received four pistol wounds
from the shots of Beard, and was,
twice stabbed by him with q sword
cane in the hand. The shots took:
effect in the arm, side, back and
throat of McMeekin, who at the last
accounts, was considered in a very.
precarious situation, Beard, during
the aftray, escaped unhurt, though
repeatedly fired at.

From the Charleston Courier.
TO the Earl of Carlisle.

My Lord: Heretofore it has been
deemed a suffered explanation of the
interest England takes in American
slavery, to utter the words "commcr-
c'al jea!ously." 1t was easy to under
stand that the Northern manufacturers,
through the agency of an almost pro-
hibitory tariff, had touched TIE peck
ct, nerve OF our former step-mothcr;
but that she should be willing to en-
danger the production of a crop, upon
which tho welfare OF her manufacturers
and OF nearly two millions of her peo-
pie depended, seemed incomprchensi-
bic. Philanthropy was first thought to
afford the solution-thcn, that an
enlightened perception of her own
interests had led to the conclusion that
slaves consumed less than frcemen.
But the experience of the West In.
dla Emancipation satisfied lis, that we
were yet on the right track. Like

A novel funeral occurred in New
York few days ago, according to the
Tribune. The deceased was Calvin
Il. Brown, who was the husband of
Mrs. Fish, so extremely famous as the
inventor of the Rochester knocl:ings.'
The services were commenced bv
prayer and reading the scriptures, and
the Rev. s. Z. Britain, who is known
rs writer on Spiritual Manifesto
TONS, followed with an address. We
quote the Trbune's account of the re-
naming eXcrcises:-"At various points
in his address, there were rappings,
sometimes apparently on the bottom of
the coffin and ut others on the floor.
as if in response to the sentiments ut.
tcreu. The rappings were loud enough
TO be distinctly heard in every part of
the room, but they elicted no remark
from rom any one. Prot. Britain read "a

come from the deceased since Ills en-. en-
trance into the spirit world, through
q medium who was not present, and
apparently intended for those assem-.
bled. While it was being read, the
rappings were very distinctly heard.
AT the close Of the address, several
friends sung the piece "Come We dis.
consoiate," after which Rev. Mr.. Den.

the rappinSs were heard more distinct.

CnERR1Es.-Cherrics without stones
have been produced in France, by the
following method:-In the Spring, be.
fore the circulation Of the sap, a yornp
Seeding cherry tree is split from
the upper extremity down to the
fork OF its roots; then, hy means of
q piece of wood in form Of spatrla,
the pith is carefully removed from
the tree, in such manner as to
avoid any excoria,ion, or other
injury; q knife is used only f.r
commencing the split. Afterwards, the
two sections are brought together,
ak. tied with woolcn, care being TAX.
en- to close Theoretically with.clay, the
whole length of the cleft. The
sap soon reunites the separated por.
tons of the tree, and, two years af:
terwards, cherries are produced OF
the usual appearance, but instead
OF stones, there will only be small
soft pellicks.
