Home Again.

After an absence Of a few weeks on a
trip east, we are again at our post, pleas
ed with the prospect Of settled weather,
which will increase our business and set
IN operation the Improvements of our
town. No sooner had the weather pre-
sented the appearance of settling than the
work of improvement began. This sum-
mer we have reason to expect greater pro-
gress, building and otherwise improving
oursown thanin any previous seasons.
The railroad will give us new start in
all business matters. We now have two
tNains of cars running in here every day,
which will enable us to carry to market
all our produce--to travel with rapidity,
and will bring many new business men to
assist us in our progress.
This time next spring Upper Sandusky
will present quite different appearance
from what it does at the present time, for
already we have heard of many new
buildings going up the present season,
and then our streets and sidewalks will be
greatly improved. Our people will not
stand still, but are bound to rival our
nsighboring county towns. Well this is
right, and we hope the work may go on
with unbounded speed

@-The following parallel of the Greek
and Mahomedan Churches, drawn by an
Englishman, is placing the Mosque in
new and credible light, and serves to teach
US that charity for the Moslem we have
never yet known:
We doubt whether there is any British
traveller or residentwho is not conscious of
the superiority, architectural, moral and
spiritual, of the Mosque over the Greek
Church-no obstrusive priesthood is there
no noise-no obvious superstition. The
structure is beautiful the courts spacious.
cool, simple, and silent. There is the
reservoir in the midst, for ablution; and
within there may be some yenerated copy
of the Koran, some valuable lambs, and
traces Of decoration on the walls, but in
the utmost possible remoteness from i'm
age worship the houseless poor may sleep
on the mating of the Mosque; the aged
may retire there for quiet, and even chill
dren may play in the marble courts. It
is the home of the spirit, where every one
may come to steep himself in spiritual in
fuences, without hindrance, or interven-
ton, and where sweeter incense of char
ity is for ever floating round than ever

the Greek worship act

NOBLE BLooD.-Dickens, in his Child's
History of England, gives the following
slap in the face at some of the greatest
Of the nobility of England in Charles the
Seconds time; be says: The whole Court
was great Haunting crowd of debauched
men and shameless women, and Catha-
rine's merry husband insulted and out
ragged her in every possible way, until she
consented to receive these worthless crea-
lures as her very good friends, and to de-
grade herself by their companionship. A
Mrs. Palmer, whom the King made Lady
Castlemaine, and afterwards Duchess oil
Cleveland, was one of the most powerful
of the bad women about the Court, and
had great influence with the King nearly
al! through his reign. Another merry la
dy, named Moll Davis, a dancer at tie
theatre, was afterwards her rival So owas
Nell Gwynn; first an orange girl and then
an actress, who really had some good in
her, and of whom one of the worst things
I know, is, that she actually does seem to
have been fond Of the King. The first
Duke Of St. Albans was this orange girls
child. In like manner, the son of merry
waiting lady, whom the King created
Duchess of Portsmouth, became the Duke
Richmond. Upon the whole, it is not SO
bad thing to be commoner.

III tas . .
PUBLIC LANDs.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger
says:
There are about two hundred bills be-
fore the Committee on Public Lands ;but
neither, the House nor majority of the
committee are much in favor Of granting
lands Unfortunately for every enterprise
that may be pressed on the consideration
of Congress. Anumber of these bills will
be (and have already been adversely re-
ported to the House, and many more will
travel the same direction. The Chair
man of the committee, the Hon. David I.
Disney, has no idea Of voting away the
public domain, and flooding the stock
market with all manner Of worthless
securities, just because the country choos-
es to have fit of railroad mania at this
juncture. Those projected roads, especi-
ally, which lap into each other, or are in
their character altogether local, will not
find much favor with him or the committee.
Indeed, if the committee were TO practice
on discrimination in that respect, it would
not do its duty, and be of little service
either to the House or to the country. The
wholeresponsibility for these bills is thrown
upon the House, and by the House on the
Committee on Public Lands since it does
not appear that the Senate will condescend
to inquire into the merits of any one of
them, voting for them just as they are, to
getrid Of them. 1t may therefore, be
stated, without fear of contradiction, that
every railroad bill which passes the House
is sure to pass the Senate; but the converse
is very far from being true; for not one
out of three bills of the kind which pass
the Senate will stand the least chance in
the House.

CHILDREN AND THEATREs.-A bill en-

bic institution, by the principal or mana
ger there; or by brother or sister over
twentyone years. For every violation
of this section fine of $95, shall be i'm
posed, which shall go to the aid of the
Juvenile Asylum. 1t made the duty of

An Ohio Greenhorn swindled in New

OEks
We find in the New York Sun an ac-
count of the manner in which greenhorn
from this State was diddled out of 5000 by
some sharpers in thatcity His name was
Smith. and he was on his way to California,
but as the steamer did not leave for day
or two, he thought he would spend his
time In seeing Gotham sights. He OF
courge fell in with friend, who promis-
ed to take him around town. The first
place which his escort proposed to visit
was the Ericsson, which he informed him
was lying in this city. Smith accordingly
accompanied his friend over the ferry,
and, on arriving here, they were met by
d third person, who was very anxious to
have them examine patent safe, which he
had Just invented. After Smith and his
companion had examined the .curious
ball." the inventor offered to bet them
$500 that they could not remeve piece
of paper which he would place in it. The
new made friend was certain he could, and
offered to take the bet, but suddenly re.
collected that he had but $500 with him,
and asked Smith if he could not accommo-
date him with the balance, 5000, until they
returned to the city, where the remainder
Of his funds were locked up in his trunk.
Smith having just the amount with him,
readily gave his assent, and handed it
over
The stakes were accordingly put up the
bet lost, and the money pocketed by the
man, who Immediately made off. The
loser was about starting after him, when
an idea suddenly entered Smith head that
he had been feeced by his friend, and ac-
cordingly collared and handed him over to
officer Devalin, who escorted him to the
cells, where he was locked up.

Justice has been done to the bravery of
the RUSSIAN officers. who courageously did
their duty, but were badly seconded by the
soldiers, whom it was often necessary to
prick with the point of the bayonet in or
der to prevent them from running away.
Some of the Wallachian militia were in
corporated among the Russian troops; but
the former force were in very bad order
with the Russian officers, and were con-
tinually subjected to their jeers. A Wal
lachian captain refused to march against
the Turks, and he consummated his re-
fnsal by blowing out his brains. These
facts may be relied on.
The Wallachian soldiers are continually
deserting to the Turks, whose position is
decidedly becoming advantageous. It
belived that they will shortly undertake a
new expedition. Besides this, although
do not state the fact as certain, it is said
that Omer: Pacha is about to proceed to
Wlddln. AT all events, the Turks win be
received in Wallachia as liberators. The
Turkish soldier enjoys a reputation for
honesty and good conduct which is well
founded
All the provisions which are necessary
are paid for in ready money, and no bur
den is thrown on the inhabitants. So
much cannot be said for the Russians. who
are, charged with ali sorts Of odious acts.
About two or three weeks ago, some Cos
sacks, at a village near Plewan, cut off the
heads of three Wallachians, and violated
ftteen woman. Thus, the Russians are
strange protectors. When the Turks
ached the village with the view of ofassisting
the unfortunate inhabitants the cutprits
had escaped. ...

LOUIS NAPOLEON. = The Legitimist

government with the mantle of wit

the acclanations which saluted the new
star, friend of the Viscount Segur ask.

piled the Viscount, "do not deceive your
self; this is a man whom no one loves,
but whom all prefer" II was impossible,

general opinion with more precision or
more truth NJ Gailiardet adds that
this may be, by that Louis Bonaparte has
already attained lofty position in the
councils of The world, and God alone can

Nebraska Question.

This question has been exciting the pub
lie in almost ever section of the country
and in our. opinion. much of the excite
ment is without cause, as all the fact.
connected with the settlement of that ter
ritory are certainly in opposition to sla
very. Nebraska will bepopulated by the
Northern and Western people, and there
fore can never be made slave state; and
the excitement now going on in relation
to the establishment of Slavery in tha
country is unnecessary At the presen
time it might be well enough for the bill
presented by Mr.. Douglas. in the United
States Senate, to rest, but then, we GER
tainly apprehend no danger from it, any
farther than it may revive question thai
always has created cause for complaint
among a certain class; and free territory
will most certainly be suitable to two
thirds Of those who settle that country
AS we before stated, in our opinion, so far
as slavery in that territory is concerned, il
will matter but little what bill may be pass
ed by Congress, for the country is not and
never will be susceptible of slavery
Slavery cannot exist in country where
free labor is more profitable than that Of
slave labor.
Another great reason why Nebraska
mill never make slave state is, because
all free States and territories are progress
sing much more rapidly than those en-
numbered by Slavery. Look at Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, yet in their infancy
compared with many other States, and
are far in advance in population and
wealth. This fact will have considerable
bearing upon all the territory that may
infuture be broughtinto the United States
and settled by our people. We are pro,
gressiye, and; therefore, Will seek the most
certain remedies to advancement. ~ roF
10 1t will be remembered what an excite
ment was in vogue in relation to the set
tlsment of California. Well when the
people of that State voted upon the Sla-
very question the matter was soon settled
without blood-shed or much difficulty
The slavery question when the war with
Mexico was going on, caused some fsnat-
les to oppose our army even while in the
bsttle field. Why should the North al
ways abhore the settling of territory so
much? Does the south declare that sla-
very shall exist in Nebraska? We have
heard of no such proclamation on their
part; end should the matter be left to a
vote of the actual settlers of the territory
we apprehend that it,would be as free as
the State of California. But we are will
ing that the question Of Slavery shall rest
where it is, as it is SO great cause of ex-
citement and difficulty with many of our
citizens. Whenever the least territory is
to be settled in the United States, some
fanatic on one side or other becomes very
much alarmed. Some thing wrong going.
onin the land. Oh! it is going to be
slave territory. Another cries out, sit is
going to be free, and we can't stand it any
longer" This is the way things have been
operating for q long time, ever since the
war with Mexico. Honestly, we expect
no great danger from the settlement of
any territory, provided we can keep down
tie hot-headed fanatics.

A CATHOLIC VIEW OF AMERIcA-A
Catholic writer in Farnce furnishes in the
Universe the following explanation of the
prevalence of spirit rapping in the United
Statess:
Eminent theologians explain why the
devil has more liberty in the United States
than in Europe, where the holy sacrifices
of the mass are celebrated at vast distances
apart and where so many millions of men,
descendants of Protestants have no relig-
ion whatever, and are not even baptized.
This sway over men,. he dares to come
nearer the earth, not being driven after by
the frequent immolation ofthe divine vic
tim, and he enters into communication with
the human race by the mysterious means
which God leaves open to him.
