ANEcDoTE OF MAJOR BEN RussELI.--Whv
it is that mankind and more particularly
womankind-desiret to conceal their ages. is
problem which has never yet been solved
Speaking of this few days since, a gentle-
man related, in course of conversation, the fol-
lowing anecdotes:
Major Ben Russell and Benjamin Bussey.
Esq. met in BARRIERS shop, towards the close
of their lives.
All, how do you do, old Ben Russelli
said Mr.. Bussey.
Come, now replied Major Ben, 4 like
that-especally from you, who are about nv
age was a truth.
upon my word, replied Mr.. Bussey.
you're my senior by ten years.
'Oh, no. replied Russell, who, after a mo-
ment's thought, asif seeking for a test, ask
ed What is the first thing that you can re-

The first thing can recollect, replied Mr..
Bussey, was hearing people talk about old

CHEAP FooD FOR PIGs.-The past season
Of extraordinary drought has suggested some
valuable experiments, one of which, although
atpresent little out of date for most farmers
may still be Of use to some, and il is
that they may generally adopt i ~
advantage another year. :. ~ Y
In consequence Of thegfv .rsS Scarcity Of
both grain and green ypasture, corn-sfalks
which had been sown for fodder, were used
to great advantage in the following wav !:
They were first cut up as finely as praetica.

A RussIAE CUSTOM. 1t was once custom
to refuse burial until the deceased debts were
paid. This morning we passed the Revel-
The sight of that place, which has long been
Russian territory, recalled to our memories
the proud name of Charles XIII, and the bat
tie of Narva. In this battle Frenchman
was killed, the Prince de Croi, who fought
under the King of Sweden. His body was
carried to Revel, where he could not he bur-
led, because during the campaign he had con-
tracted debts in the province, and had nothing
left to pay them. According to the ancient
custom Of the land his body was placed in the
church of Revel until his heiis should satls-
fy his creditors. The corpse is still in the
same church where it was laid more than 100
years ago. The amount of the original debt
has become so greatly augmented BY the in
terest, and by the daily charge made Tor the
keeping OF the corpse, that there are few for
tunes that would suffice to acquit it. In
passing through Revel some twenty wears
since, the Emperor Alexander visited the
church. and was SO shocked with the hideous
spectacle presented by the corpse that he or
dered its immediate interment. On the NOR.
row the Emperor departed, and the Prince de
Croi was duly carried to the cemetary. The
day after it was brought back to the church.
and placed in its former position. If there Is
not justice in Russia, there are, it would ap
pear, customs made even more powerful than
the sovereign will.

BARNUM's ADyIcE.-Barnum's rules for
success in business include advertising as
matter of primary importance. He says -
Advertise your business. Do not hide youp
light under bushel. Whatever your ocea-
patton or calling may be, if it needs support
from the public, adpeTtise it thoroughly and
efficiently, freely confess that what success
have had in my life may fairly be attributed
more to the public press than to nearly all
other causes combined. There may possibly
be occupations that do II OF require advertising,
but l cannot well conceive what they are
Men in business will sometimes tell you that
they have tried advertising, and that it did not
pay. Ibis is only when advertising is done
sparingly and grudgingly. Homeopathic do
ses of advertising will not pay perhaps-it is
like half potion Of physic, making the pa
tent sick, but effeeting nothing. Administer
literally, and the cure will be sure and per.
manent. Some say 'sthey cannot afford to adj
yertise;' they mistake-they cannot afford
not to advertise. IL this country, where eve
rybody reads the newspapers, the man must
have thick skull, who does not see that
these are the cheapest and best mediums thro'
which he can speak TO the public, where he is
to find his customers. Put on the appearances
OF business, and generally the reality will fol-
low. The farmer plants his seed, and while
ne is sleeping, his corn and potatoes are grow
ing. So with advertising. While you are
sleeping, or eating, or conyersing with one set
OF customers, your advertisement is being
read by hundreds and thousands of persons
who never saw you or heard of your business,
and never would, had it not been for your
advertisement appearing in the newspapers.

RUINS OF THE ALExANDRIAN LIBRARY.-It
is stated in the London Ne,cs, that Captain
N9wnham, an Admiralty agent on the South
ampton station, who has last returned from
Alexandria. visited, while there, the ruins of
the Alexandrian Library. A large mound in
Alexandria has been believed Tor ages to mark
the spot where once stood the famous library
which was burned by the Caliph Omar. This
mound is now in process of removal, and
splendid houses are to be built on its site.
v hhe Capt. Newnham was there, an inn

The brick work is of immense strength and
thickness a; the brick being not so thick as
English ones, but longer and broader. An
immense number of Arab boys and girls were
engaged in carrying away the rubbish in
baskets. Capt. NEWMAN picked up many
curiosities there, such as pieces of conglomer-
ated BRICK mortar and met work, bearing
evident marks of having been fused together
BY intense heat. The captain learnt in Egypt
that the French sGrant who discovered the
buried city of Soearah, beyond Grand Cairo,
was picking up an immense number of treas
ures for transportation to France.

THE ORGANS CHOP LoGIC-MR.
ELIOT,s MOTION.

few days ago we published from the re
cord the names Of those members Of the House
of Representatives who voted for and against
the motion Of Dir. Eliot 10 suspend the rules in
order to enable him to introduce bill TO repeal
the fugitive slave law. We said that "nearly,
if not all who voted for Mr.. Eliot's notion
were Whigs'-Northern Wings. We went on
to show that those Northern Wings have since
become Know-nothings. We expressly ex
cepted, exempted, and excluded the Southern
Wings, who we distinctly said we're true consti-
tutional men, so far as slavery is concerned.
We then proceeded to say that while the South
ern Wings quit the Northern Wings on account
Of their Abolition sympathies, they have since
united themselves with an organization at the
North which is infinitely more unsound and
capricous than ,oere the Northern Wings.

that distinguish its disingenuous party and pre-
sents us to its readers as it has no manner Of

DEATH OF ANOTHER Ex-UNITED
STATES SENATOR.

1T again becomes our melancholy duty to an
nounce the death Of another distinguished
American statesman. The Hon. William s..
Archer, Of Virginia, is no more. The announce.
ment of his demise and the following tribute
to his worth, appear in the Richmond Wing
of Thursday morning every syllable of which
has our cordial endorsement:
DEATH OF WlLLIM S. ARcHER-We received
the painful intelligence, last evening, Of the
death of the Hon. William S. Archer. He died
suddenly at his residence in Amelia County,
yesterday morning, about o'clock-having
retired the previous evening in his usual health.
This melancholy announcement will be received
throughout the State and country with emo.
tons OF deep regret and sorrow. For no purer
no loltier, no Drawer man ever lived than William
S. Archer. He has filled many high and re.
sponsible public positions and uniformly ac-
Quilted himself in all with honor to himself and
benefit to his country. He has served in the
Legislature of his own State, has been Repre-
sentative in Congress, and Senator Of the
United States. He was man of fine talents
and high character-amiable, frank, chivarous,
and true. In short, he was gentleman in the
true sense of the word-a true Virginia gentle
man, which is nober title at last than mon.
arch ever enjoyed. Only within the last twelve
months have we had the pleasure of his per-
sonal acquaintance; but there are few men
whose noble qualities and manly bearing ever
impressed us so favoraby. We sincerely lament
the death of such man. In the hearts of his
friends and his State-a State he loved with all
the affection of the father for his child-his
memory will long, long be cherished.
