MusK.-The Empress Josephine
was very fond perfumes, and, above
all, of musk. Her dressing room at
Malmaison was filed with it, in spite
Of Napoleon's frequent remonstrances.
Forty years have elapsed since her
death, and the present owner of NAL
maison has had the walls Of that dres-
sing room repeatedly washed and
painted; but neither scrubbing, aqua
fortis nor paint, has been able to re-
move the smell Of the good Empress's
musk, which continues as strong as if
the bottle which contained it had
been but yesterday removed.

One Of the Fish girls, of the famous
Fox family, having married a "man
Of the name Of Brown" in new York,
has taken an elegant house in a desi-

five evenings in the week. She char

REMARKABLE CHARACTER.

New York possesses many remarka-
Bile characters, remarkable for very
diverse reasons, but generally for
their eccentricity. We have one in
mind, a Madame Dell, who is now
probably sixty years old, and lives APP
parently in extreme destitution, in the
garnet of the house she owns. She
pays taxes on $4,000 Of real estate,
and $1,100 personal property, and
owns banking and railroad stock to
the amount Of something like $50, 900.
In the street. her appearance is we'll
calculated to excite commisseration.
Indeed, some kind-hearted individual,
a few days ago, benevolently offered
her one cent, as a gratuity. The In
suit, however, was resented, as become
her insulted honor. Diminutive in
stature and decreped, her head is COW
cred with a hood, slouched and almost
perennial. The cloak is we'll matched,
and appears to have done good SER
vice, as the folds in tie cloth are most
" worn to the warp. Her daily food
consists Of a. shilling loaf of bread,
which is left at her door regularly, and
there is added to this a small portion
of meat, or such other food as she
sees fit to obtain at the market. Even
these small comforts are shared in
solitude, in her quiet retreat. The
Human face divine has no charms for
her. Her property naturally descends
to nephew living in Cincinnati, and
the old lady's greatest fear is, that he
may get it.-Jourmal Of Commerce.

EAllow us to state that we feel
it unnecessary to appeal to the public
in favor Of 'Bcal.' Beal speaks for
himself, his appeals are full of elo-
quencc. He has everything that man
and beast desires, and in the true
spirit Of philanthropy, let's people
know it.
Look at his fresh arrivals to-day
Sec how he winds up his notice in the
true spirit Of charity and benevolence.
"All of which can be had for fair liv-
ing profits" Could any body ask
more. The man is unreasonable to
do so.

PENALTY FoT Nor ASSISTING THE
PoL1cE.-Four men were fined in
Cincinnati lately, two Of them 500 and
the other two $40 each, for not aid
ing, when requested, police officer
who was endeavoring to arrest cou-
pie of disorderly persons, and was
beaten severely in the struggle.

10. It is an old saying that "chari-
ty begins at home," but this is no
reason that it should not go abroad.
A man should live with the world; he
may have a preference for the par
ticular quarter, or square, or even al
ley, in which he lives, but he should
have general feeling for the welcome
Of the whole.

The Profession Of Panic-Making

Everything is spread through tn
newspaper press, and it is not unfre
quent that it is laid on to an unneces
sary depth, and in a bungling manner
The Gazette complains Of the Louis
vile Courier, for giving currency t
the report that Cholera prevails il
Baton Rouge the question is wher'
did the report originate, and who il
to be credited" with writing thai
item Of local news? The West Bator
Rouge Vis-a-Vis started the report
and had the opinion Of two or three
"Esculapcans," to justify him. The
fact that our respected fellow citizen
the late Col Nolan Stuart, died with
some incurable disease, gave rise to
the report. -Four or five Of the slaves
on the plantation, previous to that
event, had died with a similar disease.
We will suppose that Cholera was the
disease; it is not one of the acclima-
ted and naturalized citizens of the
world? 1t is not cosmopolite !?
Does it not come and 60 whithersoever
it listeth !? Is there any spot on the
habitable globe, free from sporadic
cases Of this disease? Will the learn
ed answer us.
Is there anything to justify the
physician, and the editor, for catching
at a single case of some epidemical
disease, and spreading the contagion
in words more fatal than actual con-
tact? Is it sufficient excuse for an
editor of a paper-for the mere sake
of giving an item, that will be copied
by shis contemporaries all over the
Union, to take the opinion of a single
physician, and spin out a hor1oy1yiug
account to throw people at home into
fits and brighten others abroad out of
their wits? We think not. The evil
however-.he foul breath that con-
teammates the atmosphere does not
stop here, some quack medicine maker
in the North or East, sees the notice,
and forthwith the advertising columns
Of the local press, fame with all sorts
Of Prepare for Cholera advertise
ments,and people fall to work, devour- !,
ing all kinds Of nostrums, to prevent
a disease, contained lin many instan-
ees,) in the very bottles Of stuff, they
use to keep it off. Is it not criminal
in these three several "conservators of
The peace" to proclaim war on the peo-
pie after this fashion? The result
could not possibly be more disastrous
IN its consequences, if they we're to
change their batteries with gun pow

IL LID our ancient nelghDOr IN
Lafayette street, observe the tail end
Of an article in the Advocate the other
day where, the editor-speaking at
length about "our professor" says
$50 much for "our Professor, and
his canine afinities ?" Ifhe did not
observe it, we did, and take it in our
comprehension Of the "King's Eng
lish" to be very heavy blow at the
Professors afinities. What is the
meaning Of the phrase "Cani,ae afini-
ties" in the Democrats language ?
Does it not mean DOG friends. :"
We really hope-from the bottom of
our soul, that our ancient, honorable,
influential, and respectable neighbor
will not let the slur pass unnoticed.
A New BAND OF MUs1c-Our
friends Messrs. Jolly and Walters are
now at work organizing a band of
music, expressly for the benefit Of this
city. We really hope it will be
permanent organization. Nothing is
more important on all occasion. It
is refreshing at early morn, good at
MONDAY, and at night its sweet har-
stealing over the bed of vio-
lets, is like the voice Of angles from
the spirit land. Music is the lovely
goddess, that stands on the right hand
of religion, where the burning words
of truthful eloquence leaves us, music
comes and with its melody transports
us to the relms of blissful happiness,
where the soul revels in heavenly de-
light-Digby's Sublime Flights. !

DETACHMENT OF CAPTAIN HoLLINs.-
Boston, Sept. 5.-An official order Fl ON the
Secretary of the Navy has been received
here, detaching Captain Hollins from the
command of the U. steamer Cyane, which
has been hauled up for repairs. Many Of
The subordinate officers are of on leave oI
absence for stated periods. Capt Hollins
is ordered to the command of the rendez-
yous at New York, in the place of Com
mander Nicholson, who is to be The new
fleet captain of the Pacific squadron.
The Secretary expresses regret at the re-
cent arres. of Capt Hoilins, and asserts tina
he retains not only The unimpaired bu
strengthened confidence of the department
for patriotism, true courage and all the ele,
ments Of fitness to command national
vessel; also, that the government will stand
between him and any difficulties he may be
subjected TO in consequence Of The lombard
ment of Greytown.
On taking leave Of the crew Of the Cyane
Capt. HolIins addressed them in an appro'
plate speech, which was responded TO with
loud cheers and great enthusiasm.

The store Of Messrs. Dav s. Padgett.

The store of Messrs. Day s. Padget, in
this village, was entered by thief on Tues
day night last, by forcing open one of The
front window shutters. To obtain money
seems to have been the only object of the
thief, as he took nothing buta small amount
of change which had been lef! in the draw
er. Mr.. Franklin's store was also entered
during his absence last week, no doub, with
a similar intention. We are gald TO learn
that in both instances the thief was but
poorly paid for his trouble. The frequency
and boldness with which burglaries have
been committed Of late in our village should
serve 10 place our merchants and others
upon their guard.
