The Crimea.

We have nothing peculiarly interesting to
inform our readers from this section-every.
thing seems at a stand. The great assault has
not yet been made. Reeort says that Louis
Napoleon is really about to proceed to the
Crimea. From the following, however, it
would seem that little hope is entertained for
the Allies
A Paris correspondent of the Baltimore Anne.
rican says that "among Americans who have
been in Europe long enough to understand the
matter from the results of their own personal
observations Of men and things, there is a per-
feet unity of opinion in favor of the success
Of Russia in her quarrel with the Allies. Ame-
rican diplomalists, travellers, and residents in
Europe, share the sam views on the subject"

Harper,s Story Books.

We are under obligations to HARPER fo1
several volumes of Story Books, each com
plete in itself, and intended for the young
they are certainly an invaluable acquisition to
the family circle. Each volume will contain
l6O pages, fine paper, beautifully embellished
and published the first of each month, at So
per annum in advance. Harper's Magazine and
his Story Books will be supplied for FIVE dollars
a year in advance. No family should be with.

the Story Books to any who may call at our

all, who take any delight in literature.

Mushroom Arfst0cracy.

The Newburyport Herald, abiding to the
growing evil of extravaganza in the United
States, says:
There is not a country in the world where
the people are becoming so e%xtravagant in their
mode of dress and living as in the United State.
1t is one Of the worst signs of the times. The
habits Of this mushroom aristocracy are really
disgusting. How it looks to see boys sporting
diamonds by the thousand dollars worth at a
time, whose fathers were accustomed to wheel.
barrows, and whose children are pretty certain
to be in the work house. And girls, silly, sim
pering things, weighed down with jewels and
bracelets, whose mothers broke their backs at
the washing tub, securing floors, and picking
oakum. The real substantial aristocracy never
indulge in such fopperies and fooleries.

UGEoRGE LAW, of New.York, has replied
to the letter of the Know-Nothing members of
the Pennsylvania Legislature, inviting him to
become a candidate for the Presidency. He
defines his position very frankly. He opposes
sectional agitation; considers the American
movement second only to the Declaration of
Independence; censures demagogues for hav-
ing endeavored to band together citizens of
foreign birth, according to their national or
religious creeds, and advocates Il tariff that will
yield only sufficient to defray government ex-
penses. He considers a tariff which yields a

ruin to the currency and every branch of bust

give him any great popularity in Pennsylvania

Immediately after a person is supposed to
be dead, coins are generally placed on the
eyelids, the nostrils are closed, and the lower
Jaw is tied up. 1t is almost criminal to proceed
to anything of the kind too soon, for if practic.
Cd when the person'is in letbargy, for instance,
1t would ensure ultimate death--the tying of
the jaw especially. A case of this kind is re-
ported in the London Lancet. Had it not
