THREE dollars day is now the price of
board at most of our leading New York no.
tells, and provisions are dearer than they ever
were before in time of peace. Mr.. Howard,
who made fortune as landlord CT the Irving
House, has written letter, recommending
the general introduction of the European sys-
TEN OF hotel keeping, as the tairest, most con-
venient, and oconomical. He says-"The
necessary waste growing out of our table a.
hote system benefits no one. Propriet0rs Of
these establishments can only expect indem-
nifty to themselves for the prodigal extrava-
gance Of some, by the simpler tastes and hab.
Its OF others of their guests-a principle of
compensation which, however satisfactory in
the way of pecuniary result, is indefensible
on any other ground. 1t is unreasonable and
unjust that the guest of public hotel, whose
preference from any motive may conHne him
to a simple breakfast of roll and coffee, to
charge. with the guest who for mere within or
caprice. may exhaust every expensive delica-
cy upon the carte. And yet, as our system
operates practically, it is only from the simple
tastes or abstemious habits of the one that
the hosts can look for indemnity for the pro-
fusion of the other. This observation has full
application and force throughout this entire
department of our hotels, and is a most posi-
tive injustice, which the European system
corrects or regulates, and which we, too, in
time must correct.
The proposed change bids fair to become
universally. Y. Life Illustrated.

1HE MISSOURI ASSOCIATION OF RUFFlANs.
Our readers are aware that there is in Plat
tie County, Mo-, an organized band of ruff
fans, called the 'tSelf-D offensive Association"
ore of the leading spirits of which is MIR.
Atchison, United States Senator, who have
charged themselves with the duty of lynching
persons who are suspected of being preiudiced
against Slavery. Some of the recent doings
Of this San Fedesti are thus reported by the
Cincinnati Democrat -
Thomas 4, Minard, formerly Sheriff in
the State of Iowa, was the first man arraigned
before the tribunal, consisting of members of
this association, on July 10th, 1854. He was
tried upon his own evidence. He was a man
of influence and character, and had many
strong friends among that portion OF the pop
ulation not ultra upon slavery. He was seiz.
ed and bound and carried before the tribunal,
and there, upon being questioned, stated that
he had said repeatedly that he hoped to see
Kanzas free territory and a free State, that
he believed that it would be for the best inter-
ests of the country that it should be so.
He was solemnly pronounced an abolition
list, and was sentenced to receive forty. eight
lashes, unless at the end of forty. eight hours
he was found missing from the State of Mis-
soari. He chose to take the other course
rallied his friends, armed himself, and openly
deted them. He lives among them yet, and
the sentence has not as yet been carried out.
Mr.. Osborne was tried, and convicted upon
the testimony of a slave-testimony not adj.
Missile in any Southern Court-of the Of
Tense of offering to write a pass or permit for
slave, showing that the slave was about his
regular business in travelling from place to
place. He was imprisoned three days and his
head shaved.
This association has had up before them
men of the most quiet and respectable char
acters, who have been constantly assailed by
abuse, utilization, obscenity and imsolence-
have been roughly treated, and dismissed
with boots and jeers, after every effort has
failed to implicate them. even in the ready
judgment of this slave tribunal.

Col Luckie of Pine Bluff, arose to respond, and in a speech of some two hours and half, dissipated, as with the wand of a magician, the impressions that the General had created upon the audience He applied the scalpel of truth to every position that Gen. Yell assumed, and in the clearest light laid bare their deform- ties and corruptions. Col Luckie used the Generals political history, with ungloved hands. There was nothing mealy -mouthed obout the exposition, but bold. fearless, and reentlcss exhibition of the causes that prompt ed Yell to abandon the democratic party, and pin his fortunes to know nottingham During the whole of Col Luckes speech, Yell writhed like martyr on the stake, and many persons present. noticed how deeply his passions were stirred. After Col. Luckie had finished his masterly discourse, Gen. Yell made an appoint ment to reply at night The reply was, i possible, greater failure than his speech in the afternoon. All present saw and felt that he was completely foored and whipped. Col Luckie has him in his power, and if he vii but hold him there, of which I have the ut most confidence, Gen.

 Now you say the know nothings are "pure- ly American" eh!

 Purely American, eh! The Camelion changes not his color more frequently than Borland and Danley change their principles!
 You say, "truth and justice are as eternal as the God in whom its members (the know nothings) believe, and on whose mercy and pro- tection they depend" How quick your con- version Borland, from "blackguard,' ;" bully,'' etc., to the pathetic piety of this sentence.- Truth is an article in regard to which you are, in fact, a know nothing.

 When you penned that sentence about "trutl and justice" and your bezief in God, you must have remembered that pass age ill Shakespeare where celebrated police captain, Dogberrv, anc two rogues, are introduced.

Were a young man aspiring to politi cal honors or military fame, would select an antagonist worthy of my steel. Believing, as do, in the truth of the proverb "He whc lies with dogs will rise with heas,' you may blow, boil, blackguard and bully as long as you please, you will receive no further notice at lny hands.

PERsoNALITIEs.-Dr. Borland, adopting the islanders of his associate, Maj. Anthony's old bar-keeper, desires to know if we were ever absolved from our oath to Father Matthew Father Matthew never administered an oath to us, but simple pledge which we told him we would observe a few years. We kept our pledge, and we feel guiltless of having outrag- ed any one, or even our own conscience, in this matter.
 We ask Dr. Borland, in all seriousness, if he has never broken VOW? We ask him if he was not once member of the Baptist church, and if he is not backslderf-an apostatef If he is not now faithless to the vows he made to God at Gods altar?
 When Dr. Borland answers these questions, we shall put few more to him. If persona 'ities are his forte, he shall have fair opportu- ,;., .o 'ipIaV his talents.
