EXECUTION OF a FRAUDULENT BAyKRvrr.-A
late number of the London Dispatch gives the
following account Of IN occurrence which took
place in Hamburg. ASimiIar ceremony perform
ed once in 4 while here, might have u bencf-
cial effect OH the community.
At noon, just as the Exchange, crowded with
merchants, presented its busiest aspect, two
drummers in the civic uniform came up, rolled
their drums for the space Of ten minutes, causing
great commolion both within and without the
Boursc. While this was going on workmcn
were seen over the principal gateway of tho
building elevatiag black board, on which was
painted in white letters the name Of merchant
of city who had lately suspended payment and
abScondcd with all his assets. When the namo
had been fairly set a bell called the "shandg-
locke or the shame bell. only rung on such oc-
casions, was sounded for two hours from tower
Of the Bourse. This penalty of disgrace, called
the execution Of q fraudulent bankrupt" was
ordained by a law which can be traced TO the
fourteenth century, when the Hanseaiic league
was at the height of its greatness. At that PC
rod however, the baukrupt's patent Of citizen
ship and his certificate as merchant were also
burnt BY the hangman.

DUTIES OF MAsoys-Many persons appear 10
bc very curious to know the duties ard obliga-
tions of Masons, rs an organized brotherhood.
For the partial qualification Of such We make the
following short extract from an address of the G.
NJ. of the Grand Lodge Of Arkansaw:
ought not, perhaps, 10 permit this opportu-
uy to pass without some general remarks rs to
the dnties resting upon Us all rs masons No
one who has listened to the moral instructions
given in our lodges, and the lectures and charges
so earnestly impressed upon the candidate, can
doubt that Masonry requires aud cnjoins high
standard Of morality not inferior TO tic purcss
ethics of our most approved writer's. 1t becomes
then. the special duty Of us all, in our daily walk
and conversation, to illustrate the yirues it
enjoins, and attain 10 that purify Of life and
character which it requires. We are strictly
charged to the pcrforyiancc of our duty to God,
to our neighbor, and to ourselves. Think you
that the first is not violated. if his name be pro-
famed at almost every breath if it be constantly
invoked in lcyity and fun, in thoughtlessness or
in taschood, in anger. in passion, in imprccation!
Dare we hope that the AII.sccing Eye is closed
that he will not see such dark spots, If wc per-
nit them to soil our Masonic badge, when we
seek to gain admission into the Celestial Lodge
above, where the Supreme Architect of the Uni
verse resides?" Or, can We doubt that He be
holds the inmost reccsscs Of the heart, and will
reward us according to our works?

ed 10 the progress of the present times for all
these blessings, without money and without
price.
In our judgment, it is time the press Of South
Carolina should learn some practical lessons,
which We fear nothing but bitter experience
will ever teach.
We hope the proposed meeting at Newbcrry
for consulting upon this subject WAS held, and
that good may result from it, For one, we
have long since determined, and have followed
up the rule rs well as we could that unless in
our advertising contracts, We make some ap-
Proclamation to our terms. We decline the honor
merely for the name of the thing. Upon the
subject of advertising. we design. before very
long, to make some observations. when We shall

AETrsLAvERY.-Anti.Sla Slavery is again bccom-
ing rabd Its press is furious that Congress
does not make it openly The corner stone of
Legislation. 1t threatens Southern men with
oslracism, social and poi,ital. 1t avows its pur-
pose to subiugate the South and destroy its in
sliiuions, or kick them on: of the Union. The
cry of dsunion has passed from the South to
the North with us, it arose from outrage and
oppression, with them, that the" are not allow
cd TO pcrpetrate them to their ncarts' content.
The disntcgra,ing elements arc at work" the
work goes bravely on. Slavery is 4 rock on
which the waves of abolition rage and political
madness will vainIy break. But time and cir
cumslance may resolve this Confederacy into
such divisions as fate may require If so, lc:
them come-we will welcome them. We will
part in peace, and gladly But for any attempt
TO subvert our foundations, to produce ruin
among ourselves at the South, to destroy our
rights, possessions and securities handed down
to us, We have the bayonct, hearts Of fire and
breasts Of s!ccl.-Evenimg News.

VALUABLE REcIpE-The celebrated Raspail,
well know as one of the best French chemists,
has given IN important recipe for destroying vcr-
min on animals, and also on plants and trees
important, at least, if true The process he re-
commends is to make solution OF aloes-(one
grammc Of that gum 10 liro of water, French
measure)-and, by means of y large brush, to
wash over the trunks and branches Of trees with
The sclulion.-Ths simple process, says Raspail,
will speedily destroy all the vermin OH the trees,
and will ctlrctualy prevent others from approach
ing. In order 10 clear sheep and animals with
long hair, they must be bathcd with this solution
or be well washed with it. Raspail mentions
several trials he has made with his mixture, all
of Which have been attended with the most COM
pctc success, and he very strongly recommends
it TO general Use. A French liIre is little less
than three of our pints--a gramme IS the ilve-
hundrelh part of u French pound. little aloes,
if useful 1T all, will thus go great way.

Benton and Calhoun,

The Richmond Examiner in not very COM
plimentary notice of Benton's book uses the
following language:
One thing we must, however, say in favor Of
Benton. While he unscrupuously borrows and
adorns his own conceed vain head, with the
laurcls and honors which were the Legitimate
property of his cotcmporaries, he treats the
living and the dead statesmen, who were his
associates, with remarkable and unexpected
kindness. lie lavishes sugar rlums upon the
living, and scatters garlands Of flowers over the
graves Of the dead in many instances were those
familiar with his malignancy and cnvious nature,
thought that he would have voided nothing but
loaiIsomc abuse and viriolic bilIinsgatc. But
whilst this poor, fallen Lucfer of the Demo-
cratic party aimiablc showers encomiums and
culogies, where nothing but the odor of brm-
stone was expected, he cannot refrain from occa-
sionalIy, ghos-like sneakinsly, quietly yet ma
lignant, desecrating the grave and assang the
memory of that pure and noble statesman, un-
der whose keen intellectual cimc;ar and heavy
crushing batlle-axe, he fell so often brushed,
maimed, and blinded with impotcnt rage. We
of course, mean Calhoun. The hoary apostaie
does not Int rerJis nlter against that great mans
memory single word of open abuse-but Lv
frequent inuendos malicious hints, and OCCASION
al sght Misrepresentation, lie attempts syy
to backcn his course.
He does more than justice to Clay and Web
ster, but to the memory of the purcst aud NO.
biest of the three great American statesmen he
does anything but justice. Yet Calhoun alone,
of all of Bcnton's contemporaries, never dealt
in abuse and personalities when replying to hi,
assaults. He invariably punished his insoIcnco
as calmly and dispaSsionatclJ as gentleman
would chastise a blackguard. Hence Benion's
hatred burns and glows rs intensely as it did
ten years ago. The contrast between Calhoun
and himself, in the memory of the former being
honorcd and worshpped with idolatrous veno-
ration and affection, by the South, whilst the
latter is loathed, exccratcd and branded as =
traitor, by his party and section. Hence, al
though he sheds crocodile tears plcnteorsly
upon the graves Of many OF his old political
and personal enemies, he tears off the mask Of
decent hypocricy, when speaking Of Mr.. Calhoun
and goes TO work like hyena

Il goose, which by some accident, was left solia-

Now it happened, rs is commnn that the mil

hen, which in due course were incubacd, and Of
course, the durkng4, rs suon as they came forth,
ran with natural instinct to the waller, aud the
hen WAS in sad puckcr. her maternity urging
her to follow the brood, and her srlisIincss dis
posing her to stop on dry land IN the meanw lille

cqualc excursion, she consigned them TO the care
of the hen The next morning down came the
ducknGs to the pond, and there stood the hen
in her great illustration. On this occasion we
are not III all sure that the goose invited tho hen,
observing her maternal trouble, but it is 4 fact
she being near the Shore the hen jumped on her
back. and there sat, the ducklugs swimming,
and the goose and hen after them, up and down
