THE SULTAN AND HIS FINANCIAL DIPLOMA

THE SULTAN AND HIS FINANCIAL. DIPLOMA cY-ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WoMEN-It has been generally supposed that the treasury of the Sultan had been cleaned out by the Rus sian war; and that the late loan to Turkey, passed by the British Parliament, was for the purpose of relieving his immediate necessities But upon reading the following among the news items of the last steamer, we are led to different conclusion
 "A letter from Constantinaple of July 19, says: The Sultan has ordered magnificent necklaces in brilliants to be made, as presents for Queen Victoria and the Empress Eugenie; and saddles all embroidered in brilliants, to be made for the Emperor, the King of Sardinia, and Prince Albert. The value of these pres ents will be about 100000 francs.'"
 Four hundred thousand dollars or so in pres ents from bankrupt is rather cool operation; but 1t is doubtless intended as bait for another impending loan of ten or twenty millions; and it will fetch it, or jewelry will have lost it's charm among the fair sex. The Sultan ought to know.

THE STATE TRIUMPHANT-ALAsP PooR CITY! - Seizure of tue Black Maria and tue Furniture and Ornaments of the Council Clay, Cal.oun,
 Webster, and OM Rough and Ready taken by the Constable.-Ye Yesterday was sad day for New Orleans. Her glory departed from her forever. Constable Beecher made second onslaught up- on the household goods of our loved munich pality, and this time with more success than his attack the previous day upon the work khouse was attended The Constable with his possee proceeded yesterday and first levied on the Black Maria, prisoners, horses and all, upon the corporation cart and horses, next upon the fur niture in the council chambers, and then, we blush to relate, upon the portraits of Washing ton, Jackson, Clay, Calhoun, Webster, and even upon Old Zack Taylor, whom the Mexicans could not take, but the Presidency killed, was taken by Deputy Constable Beecher, with the seal of the State, and small piece of red tape! The city authorities who had resisted the Con- stable the previous day were submissive enough yesterday. They didn't dare to open their mouths, for well they knew and understood that the State, in the person of its Cons table, would overwhelm them. We feared at one time the Governor would have to call out the Washington Artillery and Continental Guards, to see that the laws were dnly respected; but there was no necessity. The city authorities ought to be ashamed of themselves to allow turin" power to step in and take possession of their property without saying one word for themselves or making the least resistance.- New Orleans Delta, August 25h.

To Cook New Potatoes.

No matter how small new potatoes are, they may be cooked so as to be most delicious and healthy summer vegetable. After boiling, you should let them get thoroughly cold. They should then be sliced into wooden bowl, and chopped with chopping knife, but not very fine. Put them into frying pan and let them warm over slow fire, adding lump of but ter and milk sufficient to moisten we'll. Sea- son while warming with salt to suit the taste

THE SUNSHINE SONG.
BY FLORENCE PERCY,


 A little child of three bright years, Undimmed by care, unstained by tears.- From whose pure soul was not yet riven, The music of its native heaven,- Implored and pleaded, oft and long, "Oh, mother, sing the sunshine song 70 The mother sung full many an air, The gay, the sad, the sweet, the rare, But none could please the listening child, Who shook her head, and sadly smiled, As one who chides a grievous wrong "Oh, mother, sing the sunshine song ]" "Alas." the mothers voice replies, While tears dropped softly from her eyes, II know 1t not,-I never heard The Sunshine Song my singing bird!" Yet still she pleaded, oft and long, "Oh, mother, sing the sunshine song!" Spring came; and ere its reign was past, The childs sweet life was ebbing fast; And through her long, delirious hours Her dreamings were of bees and flowers Mingled and saddened, all night long, With pleadings for the sunshine song. Hours passed; and on her mothers knee The child lay dying; suddenly She clasped her little hands, "Oh, mother, ,hear-those shining bands The tune I've waited for So long, Mother, they sing the sunshine song." The lifted hands fell feebly down; Deaths white hand rested like crown Upon her brow; in holy grace Her face was as an angels face, And she had joined the seraph-throng Who sing, ill heaven, the sunshine song.

Telegraph and newspaper reports are so
unreliable, that We improve every opp6rtu-
nifty to ledrn6f Kansas affairs from those
who have been upon the ground, and can
speak from personal observation. DR.. Coz.
LfNs represents the excitement there, as
most intense. Nearly every man, Of what
ever party, goes armed in order to protect
himself il need be, from personal violence.
There can be no doubt about the ultimate
freedom Of Kansas. This conviction seems
to be firm in The minds Of all. The pro-
slavery party is itself becoming alarmed at
Its own enormities. Atchison and String
fellow have oyef-feached themselves. There
may be excitement, disorder and bloodshed,
but in the end, free institutions will be es-
tablished. ss rs.
Gen. EGGLEsToN, of Aurora, has also re-
turned from recent tour through Missouri t.
the adjoining country. He agrees with DR..
COLLINS in the opinion, that Kansas will be
free State. The Missourians are many of
them Of like belief. In one instance, the
Gen. says, fellow of the Atchison and
Stringfellow party, who had returned from
trip to Kansas, declared, that all the men
who went over with him to fight for slavery,
had become residents there, and Joined the
free Stale party. He complained Of the de-
sertion,a and in sort Of speech to a bar
room audience, gave them to understand
that Kansas was no place for shareholders.
Such instances as these give evidence Of
q public sentiment in Kansas, in favor Of
freedom. Let the people alone-let the
Eastern Emigration aid societies, and the
Southern bulles keep away--let that coun-
try be settled, by the honest and industri-
GUS, who desire to make for themselves
homes; and no fears need be entertained by
the people as to the future Of that Territory.
