AFRAID OF THE Know. NoTHINGs.-An un-
fortunate man named Maloney, says the New
Orleans Delta, who was last summer cured of
the yellow fever by that misunderstanding
drug, quinine, and who has recently become
wholly insane, was yesterday sent to the in
sane asylum at the instance of his wife,
During the time that Maloney, was confined
in the Guard house he was continually talk
ing about the Know.Nothings. "There," he
would say, there don't you see them, the
bloody Know-Nothings! In the day time
they are as big as giants, and try to kill me
with their clubs and knives. In the night
they get small and turn to dogs. They
crawled up to my body last night and ate my
heart out, but God Almighty put another in
me, and through his mercy am yet alive
He dashed water around his room to put out
imaginary fires, and kept springng from of
his narrow cell to avoid furious Know
Nothing, who persued him in a serpent form.
Poor fellow, his dose of qunine was to him
as it has been to hundreds of Others, terrible
indeed!

CARRYING BUNDLEs.-NIany people have q
contemplate fear of being seen. to carry a
bundle, however small having the absurd idea
that there is social degradation in the net.
TIE most trifing as well AZ weighty packages
must be sent to them, no matter how much
TO the Inconvenience of others. This arises
from q low kind of pride. There is pride
that is higher; that arises from consciousness
of there being something in the individual not
to be effected by such accdents-worth and
weight of character. This latter pride was
exhibited by the American son of Jerome
Napoleon Bonaparte. While he was in Col
lege at Cambridge, he was carrying home n
broom which he had just purchased, when he
met a friend, who noticing it, with surprise
exclaimed ..
"Why did you not have it sent home7"
81 am not ashamed to carry anything which
belongs to me-" was the very sensible reply
of young Bonaparte.
Very different pride was this from that of
young lady whom we knew, who always
gave her mother all tie bundles to carry
when they went out together, because she
thought it vulgar to be seen with one herself

MURDER, Foul MURr ER.-Yes, reader,
murder is committed every day in your midst.
The assassin plies his trade, and grows fat
upon the blood money of his occupation
You see his victims lured into the place Of
assassination-decoycd under the garb Of
friendship and good fellowship-he is drug
ged-he dies-another victim to tho arch
murderer Alcohol.
The daily press notes the violent departure
of human soul under the uninvting title Of
"an inquest was held upon the body Of a man
unknown found dead in some obscure corner"
or "brutal MURDER" where violence brand
ishes his red hand under the impulse Of
drunkenness, and lets out the life blood of a
human heart. Arrest the foul murderer
Drive him from his castles in this city. Down
with his reign of terror and blood.

icy After eleven ballots, the New Hamp.
shire Legislature abandoned the attempt to
elect United States Senator to fill the short
term. Mr.. John s. Wells, the Administra-
ton candidate, at no time received more than
l49 votes, and thus fell short of a majority;
1855 votes being necessary to choice. The
next highest vote was l03 for the Hon. G. w.
Morrison, n Democratic member of the pres.
ent Congress, who voted against the Nebras-
ka bill The remainder Of the vote was scat
tered among several persons. A motion to
indefinitely postpone was made on Friday, by
Mr.. Nesmith, of franklin, Wing, which was
adopted by l5s to lat. A motion TO recon.
slider the vote was negatived, l57 to l44. So
the Senatorial question is settled for this
session.

THOSE PEoPLE.-The Tribune, in replying
to correspondent who asks afterthe "Know

"All we know Of those people Is, that they
often make themselves felt at elections, and
generally go in forthe side that wins. Wheth-
er their goins in is what makes it win, he
can Judge as well as we."
To which, the New York Mirror, responds
as follows

"it will last while anyhow" Or he farms
his land as his father farned it, or rs most
Of his neighbors continue to farm it, regard

enable him to cultivate it far better. A me-

in four cases out of five, he hurries over car

pass, but having no ambition that 1t should
be the best he can do. We might extend
our illustrations through every walk of life.
Few men say to themselves, "Il do 1t we'll"
Haste is preferred to thoroughness, the rep

WAsHINGTo July II.

within ten years. The Government to be al
lowed to transmit, free of cost, eight thou
sand words monthly, stations to be kept up
