FEMALE Know NorHINGs.-Mrs Americas writes
to ascertain if there is society of female Know
Nothings. We are not aware that there is in this
good old colony state, but would sugges' that one
be instantly formed in every respectable family.
1t is want that has often been felt by all classes
of the community, and society will never be quite
perfect until such orders exist.
We have several times contemplated suggesting
the matter to our lady readers, but have neglect
ed it, we fear, too long. And now to make
amends for our GOODNESS in the cause, We will
draw up plan of such society as we think will
do good in more ways than political one. For
instance, l would have the members meet every
evening after supper, and the following should
constitute the rules of the society. ls'l -sfi'
First. The society shall consist of Know
Nothing director-the mother, as Punch says,
ssher female daughters" Tsb si1,i =
Second. The members are to be initiated into
all the mysteries of needle work, relative to well
made garments and knitting stockings.
Third. They are to know nothing Of the affairs

Fourth. They are to know nothing about the
art Of gossipping, nothing about that Sarah Ann
who has two beaux at time, nothing about wild
ow L., who takes in slop work for q living. r.
Fifth. They are to know nothing about the price
of costly gewgaws, SO that at church they may

YODNa AGAIN.

An old man sits in high backed chair,
Before an open door,
While the sun OF summer afternoon
Falls hot across the floor,
And the drowsy tick of the ancient clock
Has notched the hour OF four.
A breeze blows in, and a breeze blows out,
From the scented summer air;
Aud II iutters now on his wrinkled brow,
And now It lifts his hair,
And the leaden lid of his eye droops down,
And he sleeps Ina his high backed chair.
The old man sleeps, and the Old man dreams,
His head droops on his breast,
His hands relax their ctele hold
And fall To his lap In rest
The old man sleeps, and In sleep he dreams
And in dreams again is best.

And DRIFT across his brain

And he boy is a white haired man again,

The devips quite plain to be seen,

And, though never discovered the devil In them,
They haze raised the devu Nth me.

SAILING or TH8 WALKKR KxPHpr1IoN.
As announced in the Herald Of Yesterday.
the Vesta, having on board Col. Walker, and
his men, cleared on Thursday about IL o'clock.
for Realejo, which is the only port on the Pacific
side which isin the hands Of the Castillon party.
The expedition was to have sailed about two
weeks ago, but the vessel was ibeled by the
parties by whom it had been provisioned. A
settlement was however made few days ago,
and the U. S. Marshal released the vessel The
libel was for SIG, 600, and the parties who con-
tracted to furnish the vessel with supplies for the
voyage, first agreed to accept Nicarauga stock
in payment for their goods, but afterwards
changed their minds, and legal proceedings
were therefore commenced. The vessel was
afterwards attached by the Sheriff for some 9TH
er liability, and Deputy Sheriff placed on
board. On Thursday night, the Sheriff 8 Dep
uty was pacing the deck, when Col. Walker
came up and requested HIM to come down to his
cabin, in order that he might show him some
papers that he had in his possession. The
Deputy Sheriff, in the innocence of his heart,
went below, when Col. Walker produced large
bundle of papers and commenced to examine
their contents While so engaged, the Deputy
Sheriff thought he perceived a motion quite I'M
usual in ships at anchor, and started to 60 on
| deck, but his impetuosity was checked in the
kindest and blandest manner by four or five of
the expeditionists, who, armed to the teeth, sud.
| denly made their appearance. They informed
| the astonished Deputy Sheriff that the ship was
| under weigh-that under the circumstances
there was no use in taking the matter to heart,
and concluded by bringing forth basket of
champagne from the locker, advising the Depu-
ty Sheriff to drown care in flowing bumper.
After the Vesta had got outside the Heads, the
Deputy Sheriff was placed on board the steam
tug, and the ship put out to sea.
The expeditionists, numbering fifty-six, all
| told, were armed 10 the teeth, each man having
been provided with two six-shooters, bowie
knife and Mississippi rifle, which, are consider
ed to be the best tools for the development Of
the agricultural resources of the Republic of
Nicaragua. The Walker expedition will, it is
supposed, be joined by aportion of the Kinney
expedition who are to sail from New Orleans,
and ola the San Juan River, effect junction
with their brothers-in-arms from the Pacific
side. If the expedition from the Atlantic side
be as well equipped as that which sailed from
this port on Thursday night, the Chamorro
party in Nicaragua will have rather hard time
of it in maintaining their ascendency. Excit-
ing news may hereafter be expected from Cen

The Tribune says:
1.-The length Of the wires from Ireland to
Newfoundland will be some 1850 miles; they
will lie on the sandy plain, which the soundings
of our Government have shown to stretch from
land to land for the whole distance, with the ex-
ception Of about two hundred miles, next to the
Irish coast, where the bottom becomes irregu-
lar and the waiter deeper. The actual distance
is some 1000 miles only, but it will be neces-
sary to make detour with the wires in order
to carry them around the banks where the ice
bergs often ground, and where the cable might
be broken by their weight and friction.
