70 There is no doubt, but what
our fears, if not our troubles are in.
creased as we advance in civilization
and refinement. AS the sphere of our
pleasures are widened, SO our liabili-
ties to pain are increased. The Es-
quimeaux, who we know to be farther
advanced in the moral sciences, than
some Of the Christian nations; have a
fear to die, when the wind blows
Because they say that, that immaterial
essense the "soul," may take the
wings Of the morning and elbow away
There are very respectable class of
our fellow-citizens, in this country,
who, for the very best Of reasons have
no such fears.

PRrNcELY MuN1rIcENcE.--Mrs.
Dudley, Of Albany. N. Y, who had
previously contributed $4,000 to-
wards the erection of an observatory
in that city, Lhas just given an addi-
tional sum of $4,000 for the purchase
Of a Hellometer, for the use Of that in
stitution.
Mr.. Comet AS you know every.
thing and leetle more "aunt Phe.
be-" wants to know, what kind of new
meter this Hell-o-meter is. She says
she went to singing school when she
was a gal, to the best singing masters,
where she feared long meter-short
meter, common meter, and particular
meter; but this new meter beats her
time, and must be some of old Nick's
work. If you don't know please ask
professor Morse about it. SIMON.

REMARKABBE P1LLs.-A lady in
this city who suffered much or thought
she did-from headache, applied to a
homeopathic doctor for a remedy. The
doctor made up box of pills for her,
charging her that she must not take
more than four at a time. The pills
hadIa wonderful efiect..not only curing
tue lady herself but seversl female
friends, and they all thought that they
must be very powerful. as they were
not much bigger than the head of a
pin. But the very best part of the
story remains to be told. A little boy
Of FIVE years got hold of the box con-
tanning the pills, and to the great con-
sternation of the ladies', swallowed at
least fifty of them without producing
the slightest effect on him Times.

A letter, ofthe Oath. from Westport
Mo-. to the St. Louis Republican, ha.
the following paragraphs:
The Santa Fe and Salt Lake mails,
have arrived. The news from New
Mexico is of very little interest. The
election for Congressman and men,
bers Of the Legislature was to be held
on the 10th inst. There were two
parties in the field-the Democratic
progressive and the Gallego parties.
Nearly all the candidates, I learn from
q Santa Fe merchant, are Mexican
Spanish. There was not much ex-
element.
The mail train came through in
twenty-one days. From Salt Lake
there is no news, as The train that went
out on the first Of the month got no
farther than Fort Kearney-I suppose
en- account Of the fighting, of which
you were sent an account. Gen. Har.
ney is much applauded here by some
and much abused by others. It turrs
out that there were but four avhites
killed and that some Indian women
and children were shot. The Sioux
fought the foot soldiers b:avely, but
the horse they couldn't stand. It
said that when Little Thunder, the
Chief, saw the force and superiority
Of the whites, be sent in flag of truce
but Gen. Harvey returned him word
that he had come to fight, and that he
would give them then only thirty
minutes to prepare for battle. The1
result you have.

damp after the rain Of yesterday and day

There were great rejoicinss in London,

Paris was illuminated. But in England
there was far more cause to be joyful, for
her hope was in taking that strong hold !;
by taking il, her honor has been most gra-
ciously preserved, and her peoples thanks
are heartfelt. The "newsboys" celebra.

justice has been done to Captain Nicho-
las Of the United States ship Michigan

TRuE.-The editor Of thu Wash.
ington Union thinks there is too much
agitation in this country. He advises
the pouring Of oil on the water. But.
while giving this advice, he pours all
his own oil on the fire.
What is true of the Union is true
Of many other journals, some Of which
are not located ten thousand miles dis
tant from the Crescent City. Depre-
eating frauds upon the ballot-box, they
use the strongest and most jesuitical
arguments to justify illegal voting
They are gerry honest-as honest as
lago ever pretended to be-but are
against Investigations necessary to a
proper calculation of the truth They
have a holy horror of disturbances
and rioting, yet persist in a policy
most likely to bring on both!
Like the Washington Union, they
preach water at the fire, while both
hands are zealously occupied in en-
tying jars of oil on the fire Crescent.

Hard mp for WlthtlrawaIs.

We notice in Thursday Evenings I'D.
vocate, a list of Withdrawals from the Am.
erican Party, copied from the Opeloxsa.
Courier, purporting to be, of course genuine.
Many Of the Withdrawals from the Ameri-
can Party which are now going the rounds
in the Anti-papers as genuine, are like those
Of the Messrs. BERcERoNs.
For the benefit of the Anti-papers, and
in justice to those who have been misrepre-
sented, BY the publishing of the said list
we clip the following statement, from the
Opelousas Patriot of the 9Th inst:
Tho Opelousas Courier Corrected.
The Opelousas Courier announced the
withdrawal from the Native American or
der, Of J. B. BERGERoN, pere and J. BER-
eERoN, fills.
We are requested by the parties them
selves, through friend of theirs, to say
that the former of these gentlemen, is a
resident of st. Martin and never belonged
to the order.
The latter u. B. Bereeron, fls) is also a
resident of the Parish of st. Martin, is a
thorough-going member OF the American
Party, and has never withdrawn from the
order, being more attached to its principles
now than ever.
Will the Editors of the Courier be so
good as to make the correction? If they
have any doubt of our statement, we can
furnish them satisfactory evidence.
As our neighbor of the .Advocate has been
misled, by the ''opelousas Courier" by
republishing the list, we think he should
make amends honorable, if the list of with
drawals, is to remain in that excellent pa
per, as standing advel tisement.
1t becomes the more important that this
should be done, since the Advocate is-ac-
cording to their own candid admission, one
OF the INDEPENDENT Press."
