Was s"specteci Of being favorable to the
cesson of these islands to the United
States. Not succeeding with the King
and his Government according to his ex.
pectations, this functionary subsequently
united with the French Consul. and pro-
tested against the cession Of the islands to
this Government. 1t seems to US tl,a, tbis
gentleman has quite overstepped the boun-
dary OF his duties, and really outraged the
hings Government by Lis proceedings.
From what we cau learn i, appears that
the feeling Of the Hawaiian Government
leans strong gly toward annexation. Ii j,
known that while Mr.. Judi was only sas.
pectrol OF being in favor of it, tha. Mr..
Allen, whom the British Consul has most
uhw'ttlngiy managed TO intrigue into his
shoes, is strongly and openly committed
thereto, and has SO avowed himself Oh all
OCCASIONS prior to his appointment Bat
we do not understand that any proposition
looking toward aunexation has been made,
or Is held III immediate contemplation by
the existing Government. At a meeting,
however, of the Kings Privy Council,
held just previous to the date Of our last
advices, au attempt was made to commit
the Council strongly uyonst cession Of
the islands to the United States. But i,
failed entirely. There was but one vote
in its favor, and this was given by the
mover, who is an Engiishman, aud the
Minister Of Foreign Relations.
But, GU the whole, the indications that
the Islands are to be annexed to the Uni
ted States, at no distant day, appear to b
unuistakeable.- L. Titune.

the air breathed by countless numbers,
both walking or sleeping.
This is the air-no, this is even salabri-
Gus compared with the air-that is breath
ed by hundreds aud thousands in almost all
our crowded lecture-rooms, concert rooms,
public halls, aud private assemblies,ail over
the country. They are nearly all heated
BY stoves or furnac >, with their imperfect
ventilation, or 10 ventilation at all.
Is it too much to call it the national
poison, this Continual atmosphere Of cicse
stoves, which, whether travelling or 1T
home, we Americans are content to
breathe, as if it were the air of Paradise !!
We very well know that We have a
great many readers who abominate stoves.
and whose houses are warmed aud vcntii.,-
ted in an excellent manner. But they
constitute no appreciable fraction of the
vast portions Of our countrynien who love
stoyes-Gll their houses with them-arc
ignorant of their evils, and think yentila-
ton aud fresh air physiological chimeras,
which may be left to the specula,ions OF
doctors and learned men.
And SO every other face that one meets
in America has ghostly paleness about
it, that would make European stare.
What is to be done? "Americans will
have stoves" They suit the country,
especially the new eountryl they are cheap,
labor saving, clean. If the more enilght
ened and better Informed throw them aside,
the great bulk Of the people will not.
Stoves are, we are told, in short, essentially
democratic and national.
We answer, let US ventilate our rooms,
aud learn to live more in the open air. If
our countrymen will take poison in, with
every breath which they include in their
houses, aud all their public gatherings,
let them dilute it largely, and they may
escape from part at least of the evils of
taking it in such strong doses.
We have not space here, to show in de-
tail, the best modes of ventila'ins now i'll
use. But they may be found described i'll
several works, especially devoted to the
subject, published lately. In our volume
on Country Houses, We hate briefly shown
not only the principles of warming rooms,
but the most simple and complete modes Of
yentilation-ffom Aruott's chimney valve
which may for a small cost be easily plac-
ed in the chimney fue of any room to
Emerson's more complete apparatus, ty
which the largest apartments, Of every
room in the largest house may be warmed
and ventilated at the same time, In the
most complete aud satisfactory manner.
We assure our readers, that We are the
more in earnest upon this subject, because
they are 81 apathetic. As they would
shake man about falling into that state
of delightful numbness preccdes freezing
to death, all the more vigorously in orc
portion to his own Indifference and uncon-
sciousness to his SAD state, So we are the
more emphatic III what We have said, BE-
cause We see the national poison begins to
work, aud the nation is insensible.
Pale countrymcn and eountrywonien,
rouse yourselves Consider that God hos
given US an atmosphere of pure, salubrious,
health giving air, forty-five miles high,
and-r,ntiiote yo"r houses.

The Lobby Members.

The overplus of twenty five or thirty
millions i'll the United States Treasury i,
looked upon as splended prize by all the
political gamblers about the country, and
desperate attempt Will be made at the
next session Of Congress to get hold of the
money IN some specious form or other,
miscailed improvement or public good.
A correspondent of the Herald, writing
from Washington says:
Thc.e Is every appearance Of a prodi-
gious accession to the class Of lobby m.m.
bers dnriug the next session OF Congress.
ihe host OF ex-members OF Congress, and
OF d'sapp ,inted Office seekers of all parts
"i the country, are coui!ng to Washington
to look after the jobs a,l Contracts aud
other matters, besides var.ols pieces of le-
gls.aiiou to be introduced iuto both houses.
The ma st alners,the Pacific Raj r,ad,
and various other Measures, involving the
outlay Of vast su,us ct money, will be up
before Congress, and viii be pressed out
side, in lobby, by various members Of that
respectable body.
House rent increases very much, in con-
sequence Of the pressure of the lobby mem.
bers. Indeed, these same members are
most splendid, in Their entertainments of any
set. For several Years past, one of these
gentleman has actually kept two splendid
houses here, entertained in the most ele.
CANT style--onc for society of the frs;
rank and the other for ont siders. How
these men live and spend so much money,
has been mystery to great many Peo-
pie no, in the secret of lobby membering
at Washington. The truth is, the thirty
millions surplus, to be expended in soms
mode by contracts and government grants
will bling together during tf.- next and
following session Of Conyies>, all the po-
lite, the fashionable, the scnt!emanly, the
carj-playing, and the elegant men
throug hout the country, who have any
political tact or diplomacy in humbugging
both houses Of Congress into measures and
projects calculated to take money out Of
the Treasury. We expect half of Wall
street, with plans aud circulars for this
purpose, to reach Washington.
The public should keep their attention
directed to the operations Of these gentry.
The Pacific Railroad Is the grand srheme
connected by them as most l!ae,y to au-
swer their ends.

County Postmasters should bear in
mind, (says the Frcdonia Adpertise",) for
their advantage as we'll as that Of the local
press, that for every county paper deliv-
cred by them to subscribers, they are en-
titled to retain of the Post Office funds,
ten and one-half cents per year. 1t is fer
their interest as we'll as that Of out publ
shers, that the county papers be preferred,
since there is no trouble of making collec-
tions or keeping accounts thereof, as on
foreign papers, the comission on which
will not average more than from SIX to
eight cents per year.

A SKETCH or THE SrLTAN.--Last Friday
three days since--I saw the man who 10 the
nominal head of,hat i'll -compacted and scarce
y cohering empire. once held In rigorous obs
dience by fierce and mighty monarchs. whose
names were the drcad oil christendom. From =
wooden palace imm edatcy on the Bosphorus
Ia finer 10 building for him, of marble, and Of
norid Palladian archtccture--rode forth, on .
handsome black horse, a pale. slender man,
dressed in blue frock and pantaloons, wear
ing tho tarboosh or red cap. which here, with
the French, has taken the place both Of the
hat and the turban. Before him rode his Pas
has. high officers OF State and !. or, tho men
who dispose Of the money that comes into his
treasury, stout men. for the most part. with
tolerably norid complexions. They were dress
ed in the same garb with himself Tho enor-
nous turbans and barbaric robes which on
GERS of this class wore twenty five or thirty
years ago, are now only 10 le found in tha
Museum OF Ancient Costumes established by
this Sultan's farther in The A,medan or Hip
podrome. As Sultan AbJool Medjib rode
lcisurely along. women who were standing in
groups beside the way reached forth petitions
wrapped in green silk which were taken by some,
person belonging to tho Sultan's train, and
handed to an officer on horseback. carrying n
box, in which they were deposited. Il is sail
that the Sultan is always careful to read them.
He is represented us a man Of mild, amiablo
disposition, who would be glad TO govern his
empire better than hc does, II he only knew
how, or ifthose who surround him would on
| ly let him. W. G. Bryant

THE BELGIAN LAW OF DIvoRcE.-Some
few years since, young Belgian lady, fresh
from her convent education, appeared IN society,
capt. waited a young fellow couniryman with
well oiled hair and paten' leather boots, and
after an acquaintance of few weeks married
him. The happy pair sojourned, as is often
the custom abroad with the father and mother
ofthe lady. The young wife was gay lady,
and her husband was quite as gay lord. AT
every ball and party in the capital they were
present; and, as married ladies are especially
selected by continental gentleinen for what they
call "adoration," the young wife, although she
got no more of it than she liked, was honored
with considerably more than pleased her hus
band. The latter remonsrated--the lady re.
belled-and "my wife's mother" ut solent ma
hOne, supported her daughter. The husband
settled the matter by putting on his hat and re-
firing to his own paternal mansion. The mari
tai feud was now intense.and the conjugal cou'
pie were only of the same mind touching one
single subject-application to the tribunals for
n divorce. This was done; but the Belgian
law will allow no such annulIing ofa marriage
contract until the angry parties have renewed
their demand for divorce once every year for
three years. Our young couple nourished their
wrath during this triennial period OF pIoba.
tion-thrice made the demand-and were duly
summoned last year to hear consent given that
they who had been one should thenceforth and
forever remain two. From different sides of
the Court the married pair witnessed the un
tying Of the knot; and, when they we're free,
they passed out the common portal into the
public street. Approximation fred friendship.
and the gentleman offered his hand to the lady
in token that there was no malice between
them. Friendship had no sooner lit his torch
than he illumined the cinders on the chilled al
tar Of love; and the young couple walked to
gether to their first married home. whence the
husband has never since permanently with.
drawn.--C Church and State Gazette.
