A Portraik.-A yong man wishing to be
noticed in the gay circles Of the world buys an
old watch for five dollars. At the end Of four
months, finding it does not keep time as well
as a new one, he pays three dollars to have it
thoroughly repaired. At the end Of four
months. finding it is not exactly q new watch,
he pays two dollars for further repairs. At the
end Of the year, growing sick Of it, he swaps it
for an old musket. He then tries to get rich
by hunting; but not finding game very plenty
and receiving a summons from the merchant,
to pay his powder and shot, which has amount.
ed to eight dollars, he says to himself, "rll get
rid of the rotten musket somehow )" so he
swaps it for on old horse, and pays five dollars
to boot. He hires his horse kept at the tavern,
at which place he boards at the end Of the
year his bill for horse excepting has amounted to
forty dollars, and his own to scventy-f i We. He
says to himself, sThis is not getting along
very fast" so he sells his horse for a barrel Of
brandy, which finishes his earthly career.

New YORK, July 24-The Collins steam
ship Pacific has arrived, bringing three days
later advices.
The Austrian force have not yet entered the
principalities.
The Arabia had arrived at Liverpool.
The English news is not interesting.
The Turks had crossed the Danube with q
considerable force. There appears to have been
an action on the 5th, at Giugegero, in which
were l6O Russians killed and 800 wounded.
1t was rumored that the combined fleets attack
ed Cronstadt on the Both and a further &C.
count says that the feet was at anchor in Haro
Sound, and that no engagement had taken
place. It was reported that Russia was con-
centra,ing 100000 men against Austria.
The Danish feet has put to sea.
An engagement has taken place between
the Russians and the Turks, in Asia, the latter
losing 5000 men.
Thirty thousand Russians had advanced from
Odessa towards the Pruth. The accounts OF
the evacuation by Russia of the Principalties
are very contradictory. 1t is said that an in
| terview had taken place between Go.tchakof1
and the Emperor Of Austria: that Russia was
occupying the Persian forts in the Caspian Sea;
and that Prussia had declared against an az
gressive policy.
A Russian armed yacht was captured of
Cronstadt, by an English frigate.
From Spain.
Spain is quiet. In Madrid and in the pro-
vinces the troops faithfully :dhering to the
Queen.
1t is reported that Spain has sent a special
envoy to the United States, with power to
negotiate the sale Of Cuba.

TFalse River is justly celebrated for its
fine fsh. At the present moment, however, it
10 almost impossible to take any, with seine or
line, in consequence of the great growth of
sub.aqueous grass, which extends from the
bank, almost to the depth of five or six feet.
This growth is yearly extending in width, and
until i withers in the fall it is almost impossi-
bic to use the seine with effect-U.

THere is q beautiful sentiment from the
pen of Coleridge. Nothing could be more
eloquent:
"Call not that man wretched who, whatever
else he suffers, as to pain inflicted or pleasure
denied, has a child on whom he doats. Poverty
may grind him to the dust; obscurity may cast
its dark mantle over him; he may be unheeded
by those among whom he dwells. and his face
may be unknown by his neighbors; even pain
may rack his joints, and sleep flee from bis
pillow; but he has a gem with which he would
not part for wealth, defying computation for
fame filling a worlds ear. for the sweetest sleep
that ever fell on mortal's eye."

The Martha Washington Case Prisoners.

=
We learn from the Louisville Courier that
these individuals were landed from the Tel
egraph No. 3, about 10 o'clock Thursday
night, when an omnibus was in waiting
which took them direct to New Albany.
where they were transferred to the New
Orleans packet, Belle Sheridan, after mid
night, and that boat got under way imme-
diately. Lyman Cole was taken aboard at
Madison. The Courier gives the following
particulars:
Officer Bruen had six aids with him, and
great praise is due to. the officers who plan
ned and carried the arrest into execution.
for their promptnass, and the great adroit-
ness, and ability with which the whole
affair was conducted. Every detail was
arranged and carried into successful execu-
ton most admirably, and there is no doubt
that the whole posse will be surely delivered
to the authorities of the State of Arkansas,
20 stand their trial for murder and arson.
Every effort was made by parties in Gin
clnnati to stay the arrest, and writs of
habeas corpus, and bail writs were issued
from all quarters, but to no effect. The ce-
lerity Of the movements Of Burton and Bruen
frustrated all efforts to clog justice of its
dues. The police of this. city were tela-
graphed Thursday evening to arrest William
Kissane at all hazards, and the officers were
flying around in all directions to make the
arrest. They knew Of his connection in the
Martha Washington disaster, and without
well-knowing on what order the arrest was
to be made, they were all anxious to catch
him, but he was in good hands, and in safe
keeping far away.
Mr.. Shurrager and others of Cincinnati
who are bail for Kissane and Others, arrived
here yesterday morning in search of the
parties, and in the hope of rescuing kissane
from the clutches of the officers. They were
too late, but proceeded to New Albany, and
we believe, got out writ of habeas corpus
upon learning that the parties were on tbs

They did not give up the cause, but got OF

PUBLIC WonKs.--The Dayton Empire
thus speaks on the proposed sale of the
States interest in the Public Works:
In our Judgment, nothing short of sale
Of the Public Works will remedy the evil
complained of. There is too much ma
chinery about them ever to be properly reg
ulated by State authority, They will, in the
hands of the State, continue to be an IN
creasing source of expense and plerplexity,
while under the control Of individuals or a
company, they will be a source of revenue
to the State and at the same time relieve it
from all responsibility in regard to their
arrangement. We know there is diversl-
ty Of opinion among the people Of the State
on the subject, yet we are firmly Of the
opinion that the day is not far distant when,
by vote of large majority of the electors
of Ohio, the question will be decided in favor
of a sale.
