Too PRoUD TO BEG.-I 1t is said there are
thousands of worthy citizens, men and wo.
men, in New York, who are too proud to beg
or let their circumstances be known, and are,
therefore, silently pining in secret destitu-
ton. The Mirror says the pawn-shops only
tell their sad story, and adds:
First go the luxures-the snperhuous fur
niturc-the silver spoons-the spare clothing
the je"elry, even TO The bridal ring, and
then the bedding, the tables, the chairs, and
so on through the whole inventory of arti-
ces that can be dispensed with, while life is
retained. To accommodate this Unborn and
nalienable American pride, the pawn-shops
are provided with stalls, so that the melan-
choIy bartering may be done without ex.
posing the poor victim of that "pecuIar insti
tuition" to public shame. The amount of bu-
siness at these establishments within the last
three months exceeds all precedent. Watch.
es, gold pencils, and silver Spoons have been
pledged by the bushel, and every nameable
and unnamcable article Of furniture and
clothing. A friend of ours saw poor wo-
man at Simpsons one day last week, pawn
ing her under-ciOthing to raise a shilling to
90 to market with. Another had cut up her
bed and made it into pillows, which she had
pawned for similar purpose.

The FoUR NEw REGIMENrs-A letter
from Washington says: 1t is now deemed
quite impossible to pass the bills for four new
regiments aud three thousand volunteers to
chastise the Indians of the plains; but Il new
proposition is now maturing, with the ap-
proval OF the Executive, which it is believed,
will find more favor. 1t is proposed to add
to the military establishment tico new regi-
ments of infantry, and one battalion or regi-
ment of 500 or 1000 mounted rangers. The
rangers, if 1000 are raised, will be divided,
one.half Of them going to the frontiers of
Texas aud to New Mexico, and the remainder
going to the plains, where they will establish
line of posts along the emigrant route to
California, and be occupied the while in open
ing and makinga good military road.

MoBBING A Know NOTHING LopGE.-The
Enston (P'.) Argus, Demorratic publishes IN
exciting account Of mob, which collected ut
Mooreshnrg, in that county, and broke up n
meeting of II Know Nothing Lodge. The
members Of the secret organization assembled
quietly in an upper story of public hous',
aud transacting their business, the mob of
opposing politicians gathered around the ex.
terror of the house, armed with fitty-six
pound cannon, which they fired of until they
broke all the window glass in the house-
Every man in the mob, not engaged in load
ing and firing the cannon, was armed with
some noisy musical instrument, such as n
horn, bugle, trumpet, bass drum, with which
they all kept up such a deaIcning noise that
the lodge WAS obliged to dispcrse.

LONG SPEECHES.

Among all the species of bOres which are
inflicted on meek and suffering humanity, we
know of none that will compare for moment
in tediousness, with long political speeches
A long sermon, however dull and prosy, has
always some redeeming qualities, from the
dignity and importance of the subject; but
nine tcnths of the long, declamatorv speeches
made by our Congressional and Legislative
spouters, are so insullerably wearisomp, that
we had rather be galley slave or work in
the mines, than be doomed month after month
to sit and hear them. The class of persons
who are most notorious for practising these
denominations in our public assemblies, are
usually new members, or orators lately
fedged, who, being inexperienced, and anx-
ious to astonish by their volubility, waste
hours in saying what might be condensed
into dozen sentences, and consequently
soon contrive to make themselves nickname
and loughing-stock among their colleagues.
The first and last request of one of the cele-
brated Prime Ministers of England, was that
no friend of the administration should ever
be guilty Of long speech or a long report.
"From mensuration, it is certain that Demos
themes never spoke longer than about three
quarters of an hour. Cicero's Orations, any
one of them, can be delivered in even less
time. Mirabeau condensed his thunders into
a space of fifteen or twenty minutes. The
great men of the Long Parliament and the
Commonwealth, Lord Somers even Lord
Bolingbroke, the most diffuse of British ora
tors, prior to the trial of Warren Hastings,
Walpole, the elder Pitt, and the elder Fox,
were brief and powerfully condensed--in
other words, they were satisfied to present
powerful thoughts, in few simple (and the
words, instead of pouring out words,
as peas are poured out of a boot-ror et
preterea nihH Theirs was the eloquence of
reason, of profound sense, high knowledge,
and lofty thought-not ragged and disjointed
defamation"

says:
An aloe planted near the whitening
bread -fruit-tree causes it to revive, and be-
come rs good rs new. A similar fact shows
itself among the "calico family" Plant q
good-lookng wife by the side of wthered
old bachelor, and in less than month he'll
become so rejuvenated, that his best friend
will not know him. 1t infuses not only new
life into him, but new desires. He forsakes
his attic bedroom, and finds no pleasure like
sitting before the parlor crate, reading the
last new novel, to "his dear Maria" Great
invention that woman. If you doubt it try
it on.
The Russian meeting in the city of New
Orleans proved to be very amusing, that
prince of humbugs, George Washington Dix

poses to the Emperor to bring out "on or be-
fore the first of April"-al fools day-a
revolving cannon of such power that one dis
charge will annihiate frigAte. The ball is
made on new principles. When it strikes,
one part sinks the vessel, and the other pulls
down the flag. Great man that Dixon.
The Common Council of Buffalo, has pass
ed a law forbidding Explosions" of any
kind, within the limits of the city. Whether
this appys to red headed women, whose hus-
hands come home with female night caps in
their hats, is not mentioned. We suppose it
does.
Vegetables are so scarce at Sebastopol that

CLAPTRAP'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
The following init at Barnum,] is giver
as the table of contents of this work:
PART FIRST.


PART FIRST.
First appearance on any stage-infantile
opensities-humbug his mother out of
more than his share of milk-wheedles his
father from the erade--swaps his bib for n
jacknife-makes his toy horse wolly by rub
! bing it the wrong way, and sells il for donble
cost-gets into n puddle and tries TO make
| his mother think he is Il mermaid-rolls him.
self in the mud and then exhibits himself as
an African to his schooltelows at cent
head-hs desperate attempt to cut off his
nose in order to be "The Celebrated No.nose."
Horror of his mother-"my son, my son ~
Repentance and pardon.
PART SECOND.
Becoming bigger, he attempts to pass Off
as a ant-faiIure-renewed attempts to
main himself in some peculiar way in order
to become distinguished-goes about with
his head shaved-inours the ridicule of his
playmates-removal from his native town
at sixteen years of age humbugs an old sta.
ger-humbugs all villagers by shammng
"honesty"-invents wooden nntmegs-rapid
advance in wealth-the chase-excitement-
Go it, boots
PART THIRD.
Notwithstanding his brother, humbugs him
out of fifty dollars "by mistake"-"sma con-
tributions thankfully eceived"-humbugs n
little girl out of ninepence-his reformation
resolves in future to humbug only in an
honorable way-becomes member of the
church and superintendent of Sunday
School-his rapid advance in piety and wealth
history of his more extensive transactions
becomes president of torty-two temperance
societies and one bank-universal esteem
with which he is regarded by his countrymen
affection felt for him by temperance men-
bright example for all American youth.
sUPPLEMENT-DIsSERTATI ON HUMRUGs
Its nature-singuar delusions which pre-
vail among mankind in regard to honor
"honesty the best pocy!"-cause of these
misunderstanding ofhavng any such ideas
