Taylor's Letter Sheet.

Under the above title, the Muscaiina En-
quircr publishes what purports to be the
statistics of the City Of Muscatine prepa-
red by Tom ]. Taylor, Jr. Nov Goth, 1855,
in which we find the following:
.sMuscatine is the terminus of the follow
ing Railroads, viz:
Mississippi and Missouri Railroad;
Cedar Rapids and Museatne Railroad;
Muscatine and Oskaloosa Roilroad;
Keokuk, Mt. Pleasant and Muscatine
Railroad.
Lasalle and Muscatine Railroad.
Muscatine is situated at The point of the
great bend of the Mississippi, and is there
fore 80 miles nearer the interior counties
of Cedar, Washington, Johnson, Linn. and
the counties lying west and northwest Of
them, than any other point on the river. And
being the terminus of the great railroad
thoroughfare from Chicago, is now the near
est cheapest and most direct route for all
who intend to locate in sentra Iowa Kan
sas or Nebraska.
Its natural advantages, and being the
terminus of SO many Railroads, makes it
the great business city of Iowa. 1t is des-
tined to be the "city of Io,ca."
1t may be very well for Tom j. Taylor to
publish Oh letter sheet such egregious lies
as the above contains, but for public
journal to reiterate them, is quite another
thing. The editor Of the Enquirer knows
that Musca,ine is the terminus of branch
Of the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad,
extending from Wilton to Muscatne, eisuen
miles, and that this branch road is the only
! one that terminates there. All the other
Railroads spoken of, SO far as relates 10
their termini at Muscatine, exist only in
the visionary speculation Of Tom J. Tay-
lor's Imagination. We trust that the other
facts published by him and republished in
the Enquirer, contain more truth in proper
ton than is to be found in the above ex.
tract.
But what has broke loose with Muscatne
that such an array Of glaring falsehoods is
required to be published to the world
Can there not be enough said in relation to
her present trade, business, prospects, &c,
without going beyond the bounds OF the
TRUTH
II stranger at the east should be induced
to visit Muscatine, on the representations
contained in the Enquirer, that that town
was the terminus of fire Railroads, he would
feel considerably disappointed TO learn that
it wac the terminus of but one, and short
branch at that.

.,Yc. Am AMERICAN MANNERS.

The following extract from the Paris cor
despondent of the Boston Atlas, while It
compliments in a manner doubtless merited
the character OF deceased lawyer, very
forcibly shows the contrast IN the manners
of the French and the Americans. ltwould
be rather extraordinary sight for the lat
ter to kiss one another in public, and to EN-.
brace with weepings and lamentations.
But they manage such things differently
in France. The French are certainly vast
" more demonstrative in the exhibition of
their feelings, though We think it by no
means necessarily follows that they have
any greater depth or sincerity Such ardent
expressions may be truthful for the moment,
but their very eSaggeration is an indication
Of their ephemeral nature. Still waters
are deep. but the noisy brook demonstrates
its ow shallowness. At alleyenis If our man.
ners may seem colder, we prefer til cir de-
seriousness, to that style which seeks TO
give the eelat Of prepared spectacle to the
most opposite transactions OF human life,
and which throws an air of theatrical dis
play alike around the frivolous festivities
Of fashion, and the solemn ceremonies Of
the grave
The bar OF Paris has lost its brightest
ornament. NJ. Pallet, the Sir William
Grant Of the profession here, fell with apo
plexy while arguing cause before the First
Chamber, and, despite all the efforts of the
| physicians, expired few hours afterwards,
/ without uttering word. He was model
for a lawyer-mre and blameless, noble
! hearted, learned, talented and eloquent he
/ attained the higher height of professional
| excellence. The Courts closed--the only
| time such an honor has been paid to law
yer-and bench and bar in full costume, at
/ tended his remains to their grave, headed
| By the old bafoaniers of the Order weeping
bitterly. NJ Marie delivered the accustom-
ed speech at the grave. The deceased's
two sons, lawyers, followed him to the
cemetery, and, after the grave was closed,
sve-y person present shook them by
| the hand, and many weeping threw them.
| selves into their arms and kissed both
cheeks. TWAS a touching sight, regret
to say that Nine. Dupin, the wife OF NJ Du-
! pin, ST., is dead; she had been married to
her eminent husband above 40 years, and
many OF your readers recollect the elegance
with which she did the honors OF the Palace
of the President OF the Chamber OF Depu-
ties and National Assembly"
