1t is not at all strange that such wing papers
as the Mercury cannot conceive how mans
zeal in any cause can be affected by principle.
Pecunary reward is always associated in their

not strange that party without principle

The CRoP.-Accounts from almost every
portion Of New York State give the strongest
indication Of most bounteous crop. The
fruit crop in particular bids fair to be most
abundant.
The growing wheat crops throughout the
Union are represented TO be unusually promis-
ing. Everywhere in the north and west there
is an increased breadth of land under wheat
say twenty per cent.-and the prospect is, that
the yield in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois,
and other western States, will be twenty to
twenty five per cent. greater than that of last
year, in spite Of the fly, the rust, and the hard
winter.

TREATY WITH JAPAN-A letter from Hong
Kong, speaking of the treaty with Japan, says
it is beyond doubt that free intercourse is fully
opened, and that two ports for United States
steamers to supply Goals would be conceded
to the Americans also by the treaty; kind
treatment and an abundant supply Of water
and provisions are secured TO all Americans
who may visit the Japanese coast. On the
9th ult., after the treaty had been signed,
Com. Perry was to give an entertainment to
the four Imperial Commissioners. The Rail-

BROTHER JoNATHAN.-The following
striking portrait of Brother Jonathan WAS
given by Rev. A. L. Stone, in his Grafton
at Boston On the 4th inst. "Some have
called him the young Giant Of the West.
He has many grades 10 be sure he does
not wear patent leather and ape the ex-
quisite. but gets up early and dresses in
haste: be does not spend much time be-
fore the glass, and often is satisfied with
passing his hand through his hair to keep
it from his eyes; his shoes are loose, bus
be stands firm, and when he Swings them
the momentum is considerable his hands
are large, but they have hard gripe !,
his shirt collar is stiff, but keeps MIN
looking straight ahead /; his beaver rim is
narrow, but it does not prevent him from
taking an upward view /: his coat is short
wasted and the covering of his neither
limbs is scant, but he is growing fast, and
bears about him so many elements Of
success that it does not encourage his
opponent to try fall. They may make
game of him, and that is Just what they
find him-game."

A NOVEL LIBEL SUIT.-Before tho
Monroe County Court now in session a,
Rochester, somewhat novel case is on
trial. The Advertiser reports the cir.
cumstances to be the following AT the
town election in Scottsville, in March, a
ticket was procured to be printed and to
some extent voted, on which were the
names designated for various town offices.
1t was assumed or implied that the ladies
with whom this liberty was taken, favor.
ed the woman's rights movement. The
ballot was styled the Shanghai Ticket, -
and bore for head device a cut of mag
nificent bird of Chinese origin. The
friends of the ladies not relishing this
'sfun" have prosecuted for libel those
whom they believe to be the authors OF
the ticket. 1t Is said the affar causes no
little excitement. y oEa.a

/ The HINDoo HELL.-The Hindoo idea
of hell is, to say the least, sufficiently
terrific to arrest the attention of sinners
most incorrigible. Some say they are
made to tread on burning sands, or sharp
edged stones; others are rolled among
thorns and spikes and purified flesh;
others are dragged along the roughest
places by cords passed through the ten
der parts of the body; some are attacked
by jackals, tigers, and elephants: others
are pierced to death by arrows, beaten
with clubs, pricked with needles, scared
with hot irons, and tormented by flies
and wasps; some are plunged into pans
of liquid fire or boiling oil.

STRANGE SU1oDE.-A few days ago,
