Excessively Literary-.IIow Young |

Excessively Literary--EIow young
lady en,leavored to adapt her style Of
conversation to the character Of her
guests, is narrated in an Ohio paper.
Tom Corwin and Tom Ewing, be-
ing on political tour through the
State, slapped at the house Of a promi-
nent politician at night, but found no
one at home but young neice, who
presided at The supper table. She had
never seen great men, and supposed
they were elephantine altogether. and
all talked in great language.
MIR. Ewing. will you take condi.
ments in your tea. sir" inquired the
lady.
Yes. Miss, il you please" replied
the quondam salt boiler.
CWwin's ewes twinkled. Here was
fun for him. Gratified at the apparent
success Of her first trial at talking to
big men, the young lady addressed Mr..
Corwin in the same manner:
!" Will you take condiments in your
tea, sirf"
Pepper and salt, but no mustard"
was the prompt reply Of the facetious
Tom.
OF course nature must out, and Ew-
ms and the entertainer reared in spite
,f themselves. Corwinessayed tlmend
the matter, and was yofuble in anec-
lote. and wit, and compliment; but the
wound was immedicable. The young
ady.to this day declares that Tom Cor.
win is a coarse, vulgar, lisagreeable
nan.

justment. The principles Of adjust.
ment are agreed upon here. OF course,
the British Government is vet to be con.
suited on the subject Of the project.
The interests Of both governments re-
quire a speedy adjustment of the sub.

include an i,lrmnity for the destruction
OF property Of British subjects al Grey

shown at the store Of Messrs. Nelson & Paul,
few days since, some specimens of the Cloth
manufactured at the Alpha Wooden Mil in this
county. The texture was good, and the cloth
equal to any of Northern Manufacture Of the
same fneness. The pieces shown us were Of
different colors, viz: black, grcy-mixcd, brown,
greenish-tingc, white, &C., and the colors APP
peared to be well set. A specimen Of the Kerr
sey manufactured at this mill, we think, will
compare favorahly with any that we have sem
elsewhere; and we are assured BY merchant
that it is much better article than can be
bought at the North for the same price.
This Mill lie now in the possession of Mcssrs.
John 9. Shields and William Nelson, and they
are determined to give the business of manufac-
turing wooden cloth in this county fair trial.
Their enterprise deserves, and we hope will re-
cciye, liberal encouragement

WHO 10 BEATEN -Efru The most
ineredulous &C me Democratic papers
admit that there has been a Democratic
defeat in Maine. bat they insist with
great pertinaeity that il IS not a Wing
victory. Very well; suppose this were
granted. as a modicum Of relief in their
present tribnlafion. But will they tell
rs whence came the hosts who have over
thrown both Wings and Demoerstsf
The latter have had Tor years a large
maturity in Maine. Ever since their
memorable rout in 1870 they have
been regsining the ground then lost.
The Wings, therefore. could not have
furnished materials enough TO produce
such Waterloo defeat. There must
have been. as one of our worthy con-
temporaries says. ga stampede among
the Bufaloes." The" sound National
Democracy Of the NORTH" upon whom
our Southern friends always rely in
the hour Of need. have certainly fall
tered in their faith. and have suffered
themselves to be fused in the Abolition
crucible. This is alb the consolation
we can Offer them at present. Per-
haps. when the smoke passes Of. all
parties may see something upon which
TO "hang a hope" We "neyer de-
spair Of the Republic" but feel conf
dent that whenever our institutions are
seriously threatened there will always
be found in both parties enough Of con-
seryatism to save the country. The
late overthrow Of the Democracy is but
an evidence Of the popular soye.
reignty." Surely the friends Of SO

which the claims of Mr.. Fisher are strongly
urged as an Internal Improvement candidate.
Considering the state Of parties in the Legsla-

that district is made with sole reference to State
improvement; in which event, Mr.. Fisher may
be elected without opposition.
