THE EXPERIENCE OF A KNOW NorH1NG-A citizen
of Morgan county, Indiana, who had been seduced
into know nothing council, gives the result of his
experience to the public, through the Martnsve
Monitor, in the following pregnant paragraph:
Reader, you may think you hate know moth
ingsm but until you are initiated into its secrets,
and witness something of the height and depth of
its nquity, the solemn mockery of it's rituals and
the completeness of its tyranny, its fendke indif-
ference, and its utter disregard of moral honesty
you will not know what to detest. Then if you are
true to yourself, your country, and your God, you
will have so great detestaton for the order that
you will avoid bona tide member as a political
demagogue, and shun lodge as a U pas tree"
The ORIGIN YELLOW FEvER-The Commercial
Bulletin OF New Orleans says
How yellow fever originates in New Orleans is
a question which for years has employed the minds
of every member of the medical profession, to
greater or less degree AS far as we can learn from
conversation with large number of the faculty.
and reading the resort of the sanitary committee on
the subject, we infer that the profession in New
Orleans stand in the proportion of eight to two
against the theory of importation. If the question,
then, is to be determined by the weight of numbers
it is no longer mooted point. Yellow fever is en-
demic in New Orleans; Ito the manor born > an old
inhabitant who is apt to continue his residence
among us in spite of boards of health and quaran-
tine regulations"

PROBABLE ORANGES IN The BRrrIsu CABINET.
1t is said that the post Of Secretary at War
in the British Cabinet will shortly be offered
to the Earl Daibousie, who is at present acting
as Governor General Of India. Dalhousie Is
chiefly recommended by his energy and vigor
of intellect; he acts more rapidly than other
men think, and seldom notices obstacles till he
has turmouuted them. Such man is much
needed at present in England. Another change,
which break up Of the present ministry is
likely to bring about, is the promotion Of Lord
Elgin late Governor Of Canada who is pretty
sure Of succeeding Lord Dalbousie, or Of enter
ing the Cabinet as Colonial Secretary. lie Is
q man of undoubted ability, and is well known
on this side the Atlantic.
