UPS AND DOWNS.

The soourners of our city hotels are familiar
with the modest tone in which the words +" New
York Herald" "Tribune," "Times," "Bati-
more Sum-" Inteligencer," Union," &C., fall
upon their ears from respectable eldery gentle
man in the newspaper line. AT break OF day
you may find him at the railroad depot, with
his bundle of these snaps of busy life;" at
breakfast time he is at the hotel ready to ex-
change his commodities for the ready cash. and
again as midnight draws near, you will still
find him pursuing the even tenor of his way,
pressing his sales. We have observed him for
manv years going regularly through this routine.
MANY wonder if he ever sleeps. If" eternalv Wig.
lance is the price of liberty" he is entitled to
the largest that may be had. curiosity is oft
en- manifested to know his history. Some say
that he has by dint of untiring industry and per-
severance laid up something handsome for a
"rainy day."
One morning last week, as the Hon. Lewis d.
Campbell OF Ohio, was passing from the break
fast room at the National with his morning
mail, this veteran news vender met him at the
foot of flight Of steps near the office. His eye
caught the title "Cncinnati Gazette" to paper
in Mr.. C.'s hand, and with peculiar expression
he remarked:
"Ah the old Cincinnati Gazette!"
Mr.. c. halted, observing, "You have it not in
your package?''
"No; but took it once"
Mr.. c. "When?"
ain 1928, when Charles Hammond was edit
or, and | was in the firm of Darlington &
Wells, wholesale merchants, Main street, Cincin-
natin
Mr.. c." recollect the firm, for / was then
printers devil in the Gazette office, and faith
fully through wintry storms carried the paper to
you. Wear living monuments of the ups and
downs of life !"
Here strange expression passed over the
countenance of Wells, and Mr.. c., fearing that
he might awaken unpleasant "reminiscences in
connexion with his change of fortune, left, with
a"God give you success; your energy deserves
it,"
How illustrative of the changes of tickle for
tune! The carrier boy of the news of that day
to the wholesale merchant is now member of
the American Congress, and the wholesale mer-
chant now carries the newspapers to him.

A FEMALE FINANCIER.-The financial specu
lations of Queen Christina, mother of the pres
ent ruling monarch of Spain, are of the most
stupendous character beating all the big and
little financiers in any other quarter of the
globe. She is debtor to the State twenty-four
millions, which she received unlawfully as Rel
ma Gobernardora, from 1884 to lS4O-having
married second time shortly after the death of
her first husband-twelve millions were paid to
her on her return from France for the three
years which she passed out of the country, and
thirty-fve millions, the difference between the
money of Spain and America, for the ten years
that she has drawn her pension on the treasury
of Cuba, making total of seventy-one millions
of reals. With this money the Queen dabbled
in every thing, coal mines, canals, railroads, joint
stock manufacturing companies, and every 9TH
er project which promised large profits. She
established for herself the character of very
enterprising woman. which would have been to
her credit, had she not obtained the means for
carrying on her great enterprises by exactions
and extortions from the people, against all law,
and by the most corrupt means The people of
Spain will not suffer her to leave the country
until she dsgorges.

happened by accident "to be in the
Exchange to take a drink, or to meet
Brown, to talk about the next days
business but under 1t and over it all
It was very plain to be seen that some
thing involving The peace and dignity
the present aud future prosperity OF
the great aSugar bowl Of the Union,''
was TO be done.
Ay, more than this. it might have
been discovered by the aniable smiles
Of the multitude, then and there gath
cred, that something even of mole inn
portance than the destiny Of the un-
ion itself was involved. The distribu-
ton Of fees, perquisits, extra compen-
sation, and The pap, always allowed to
the party in place, for rewards and re-
prisals to the faitEfll plough horses Of
the party.
In the very agreeable party at the
Exchange on Sunday night we missed
the smiles of some of our worthy city
friends. who generally visit us, if not
to stay for the Session, to show the
new members how TO open the House.
We recollect that this information cost
the last Senate $500. We didn't
meet those familiar faces, nor have we
had the pleasure SO far, Of meeting
that regular visitor at this season, who
talked Of bringing an action against
the last house, for drinking his inn
ported Saserac, under false pretences.
However, their non-appearance is fully
compensated, by the presence Of a host
of others, equally as patriotic, as true,
as honorable, as honest. and as deeply
In the "exchequer' as they
have been.
There is no dramatic performance
on the stage of life more agreeable to
witness, than a promiseuous multitude
Of hard visaged fellows, doing the
agreeable to one another. There is
the forced air of familiarity by fellows
who never before studied the part
the affected smile, degenerating into
A hypocritical grin--the forced laugh
at pointless jokes, all this to the man
in the corner, is fully appreciated
"Allow me sir, to present you with my
card" we have heard it so often that
it rings now--like the melting tones
Of a melodious hand organ.
From the very bottom of our soul
(premising that it has q bottom) we
pity the poor legislator--the man who
leaves his business to pine, and comes
here to be bored, through and through
for sixty days; deserve the unqualified
appreciation ofmankind at large.
We have taken birds eye view Of
the heads and faces of the lower House,
and come to the conclusion that they
will do, ''on an average" We hope
for their own credit, if not the credit
the State, they will 10 vigorously to
work, and do whatever is to be done
Or undone, and get though when they
come to an end AS to ourselves, we
are not interested very much, in
than the appropriation bill
The General Fund, is deemed snflici-
entity large to cover expenses, and
therefore we have no apprehensions
hat all will not be well /: however.

asks for half a million more; we have
member pledged to offer an amend
ment, giving the Pompeii and Port
road, about the same amount
