Deaf Smith, the Celebrated Texan Spy.

About two years after the Texan revolu-
ton, a difficulty occurred between the new
Government and q portion of the people,
which threatened the most serious conse-
qucnces-even the bloodshed and horrors Of
civil war Briefly the case was this:
The constitution had fixed the city Of
Austin the permanent capital where the pub
lie archives were to be kept, with n reserva-
ton, however, of power in the President to
order their temporary removal in case of dan
ger from the inroads of foreign enemy, or
the force of Sudden insurrection.
Conceiying that the exceptional emergency
had arrived, as the Camanches frequently
committed ravages within sight of the capital
itself Houston, who then resided at Wash
ington, on the Brazos, despatched an order
commanding his subordinate functionaries to
send the State records to the latter place,
which he declared to be pro tempOre, the seat
of government -
1t is impossible to describe the stormy cx-
citement which the PRONUNCIATION of this fat
raised in Austin. The keepers of hotels,
boarding houses, groceries, and faro-banks,
were thunder-struck, maddened to frenzy; for
the measures would be a death-blow to their
business; and, accordingly they determned
at once to take the step to avert the danger
by opposing the execution of Houston's
mandate. They called mass meeting of the
citizens and farmers Of the circumjacent
county, who were all more or less interested
in the question:; and after many fiery speeches
against the asserted tyranny, Of the admins
tration, it was unanimously resolved to pre-
vent the removal of the archives by open and
armed resistance. To that end they organ
lied company of four hundred men. one
moety of whom, relieving the other at regu-
lar periods of duty, should keep constant
guard around the State-house until the peril
passed. The commander Of this force was
one Colonel Morton, who had achieved CON
siderable renown in the war of independence,
and had still more recently displayed desper-
ate bravery in two desperate dues, in both of
which he had cut his antagonist nearly to
pieces with a bowie knife. Indeed, from the
notoriety of his character for revenge as we'll
as courage, it was thought that President
Houston would renounce his purpose touching
the archives, as soon as he should learn who
was the leader of the opposition.
Morton, on his part, whose vanity equaled
his personal proves, encouraged and justified
the prevailing opinion, by his boastful threats.

LovELISEss.-It is not your neat dress,
your expensive shawl, or golden ringed
fingers that attract the attention of sense
They look beyond these. 1t is your character
they study. If you are triaing and loose
in your conversation--no matter if you are
as beautiful as an angel-you have no attrac-
ton for them. 1t is the true loneliness of
your natures that wins and continues to re-
tain the affections of the heart. Young
ladies sadly miss it who do not improve their
minds. Fools may be won by gew-gaws and
fashionable snowy dresses but the wise and
substantial are never caught by such traps
Use pleasant and agreeable language and
though you may not be courted by the fop
and the sop the good and truly great will
love to linger in your steps.

SETTING Type by SrEAM--It may not be
known beyond very narrow circle that Eve
full-sized and expensive machines are in full
tide Of operation in setting type in the estab-
ishment Of Mr. Trow, in this city. There is
believed to be one in use TO some extent in
Paris but with this exception these are the
only machines actually working for this pur-
pose within our knowledge. These five give
employment to ten large and an equal number
of small girls, with foreman to oversee and
one additional female to supply the machines
with type. Two compositors alternately re-
lieve each other, first setting and next justi-
flying a quantity of matter, while the smaller
attendants busTthemselves in distributing and
arranging the type for the machines. Three
thousand ems Of long primer have been set
per hour, or twenty-six thousand in day of
ten hours, by one girl but much depends, of
course on the skill Of the operator The ex-
treme capacity of the machine is ten thousand
per hour, equal to about column and half
of the Tribune, but this limit will probably
never be reached. The machine is driven by
a band on pulley, and the labor of setting
consists M lingering a set Of keys like pi-
ano. Each kind is carried forward on q sep
arate band, and deposited continuously on
single tape running diagonally across the line
of the first. From this second tape they are
dropped into a wheel, which in turn, leaves
them standing single file on long galley, from
which they are taken and made into lines Of
proper length. The enterprise has not until
quite lately been made to assume form in
which it appears pecuniarily profitable, and
even yet must be reckoned as hopeful ex-
pertinent rather than a triumphant success

THE ASS AND THE FLUTE.

You must know that this ditty,
This little romance,
BE it dull, be il witty,
Arose from mere chance.
Near . certain enclosure,
Not far from my manse,
An ass, with composure,
Was passing by chance.
As he went along prying,
With sober advance,
A sheapard's flute lying.
lie found there by chance.
Our amateur started
And eyed II askance.
Drew nearer, and snorted
Upon 1t by chance.
The breath of the brute, sir,
Drew music for once;
II entered the flute, sir.
And blew il by chance.
All" cried he, in wonder.
How comes this to pass.
Who now will dare slander
The skill Of an assn
And asses in plenty
see at a glance.
Who, one time in twenty,
Succeed by mere chance.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
By ISAAC MCCLELLAN.

BY ISAAC MCCLELLAN.
The meteor flag of England,
The tri-color of France,
Stream bravely to the tempest,
Der oceans gray expanse
And mid the battles thunder,
And DER the smoke of fight,
Have kept their country's honor
Nailed to the top-mast height;
But the bold, brave flag of freedom
As peerless floats as they,
Nor wells to them its stars and strips,
In the bloody battle-day.
IL waves DER many fortrcsss
Along the Atlantic shore;
Where breaks the surf DER rocks Of Maine
Where Mexic pillows roar
1t floats from many a rampant,
Far up Missouris tide
Der many n block-house fort that guards
Arkansas turbid tide;
And many grim Usage that hunts
Across the far frontier,
Hath learned that banner to respect
That noble flag to fear.
And far DER Mchgan's wild shore,
And Huron's yellow strand,
Where spreads the trackless wilderness,
Deep forests wildly grand
O'er many white stockadc il floats,
Ger many guarded wall,
Holding the savage 0ttoways
And Chippewas in thrall:
And far in utmost Oregon,
BY broad Columbia's stream.
With beat of drum at morn and eve
Those starry emblems CLEAN.
Long may it floated unsullied,
Long fan our fathers grave,
The war-worn Continentals,
The oravest of the brave.
At Yorktown was II stepped In gore,
AT Monmouth's deadly fight
And scorched with fame and torn with steel
On Bunker's smoky height.
And while freeman's arm may strike,
Or freeman's heart may beat,
Ne'er will that valiant banner
Be humbled in defeat.

DESTRUCTION OF La PAz. - From the
Trait d Union, of Mexico, we extract tho
following:
" A tremendous hurricane completely des-
troyed the town of La Paz, Lower Califor-
mia, not leaving single house standing."-
In explanation of this, we hasten to add, that
few days ago gentlemen just then arrived
from La Paz. and who was present during the
hurricane of which the IraaG Union speaks
assures us that only fourteen houses were des-
troyed.
