From tn York Correspondent of the Boston Journal
Gen. Scoii.-IIis Appearance.

NEW YORK, May II.
In passing down twelfth street to dry, | met
for the tir>t time in miny months, General Scott.
He resides in splendid mansion in that street,
which he has purchased since the title of Lieu
tcnant-General was given to him, with the SAL
airy adled from the time of the war with Mex
leo. He grows Cd quite rapidly, and the change
in his appear ince since the result OF the campaign
that elected General Pierce is very APPARENT
His lofty form is bowed down--his elastic step
has passed AWAY look of sadness and weari-
ness has settled upon those once express i've and
decided textures. H. leads a very retired life
sees but little company-rar>ly appe IRIS in public,
and usually walks alone. 1t is not possible to
see General Scott and not to be struck with the
truthfulncss of Shakespeare's assertion ''that
there is 4 tide in the affairs Of men.''

The leading wholesale fancy goods houses of
Boston have made arrangements TO close their
places Of business on Saturday afternoon, during
the coming summer.
cY' That is tirst-rate id .a-we like it. The
fact is, too much attention is given to business in
this country, and too little to recreation. The
Boston Merchants have set example, which
should be followed by the merchants Of every
city in the Union.

ERIAL voYAGE.-The New Orleans papers have
an account Of the most successful aerial voyage
ever performed by balloon, with FIVE persons in
it, including some members of the press. The
balloon started on the evening of the Both ult.,
ana went three hundred and ten miles in about
SIX hours; landed its passengers at Port Gibson,
and then took fresh start on another voyage
This would seem to realize the hopes of aerial
navigation, except that balloon, with its great
bulk and no power of motion. except in one d.
rection from its levty, can have no more force to
navigate the air, than a cork can navigate upon
the water. 1t merely floats in the direction the
atmospheric current carries it..

their religion with an carnestness which would dc

Enlistment of Government solely un.cr the

of Music'l Critic for your paper. Our fame op-
presses us, and we wish to retire from the admir-
ing gaze Of the public, to enjoy in the quiet seclu
sion of Rauch's, the Genealogical laarcls thus

diant symmetry OF its strut. There is n swell, as
Of an organ peal, Tor orange pe,l,) about our
sentences, which, if YOU cut them short in the mid

effect as to choke off prima donna in the summit

The SUPPLY OF FLouR.--The New York Tri-
bunc contends that the general impression that
the supply of -four in the country is Short is based
on erroneous data, for speculative purposes, and
proceeds to show that ,here are now on Lake
Erie, and in Canada, about Asst, 200 barrels. 1t
then adds
Suprose 456 GOO barrels to lie absorbed by the
destitute points in the I'M erior, and we shall then
receive lidewate of one million borrels-enouch
ut the rate of winter consumption, 5000 bbls per
day, to last oae hundred and twenty-five DAYS. or
until the middle of next September. Such is the
estimate OF oar correspondent, and we have no
dOabt it is nearer the truth than the one of only
IO0,OOO barrels, and therefore, with favorable
p Opcct of good crop all over the country,
there is rot shadow Of reason for any alarm

Another large raft passed down in the afternoon,
but these logs come from the booms above and not

MINIATURE WAR DA>cEs.- Since the great War
Dance OF the winnebagoes at the Capitol, about
one week since, we have been favored with any
number Of dances and yells from the juveniles.
Passing down ST. Anthony street yesterday, we
observed two boys yelling and twisting their bodies
into all sorts of shapes. Surprising that they hid
been hurt AMI were in great agony, we hurried to
them to render them aid. 'Are YOU hurt mueh?''
We inquired. "fIurt," exclaimed the little rogues,
''Oh we are Indians, and were only dancng.''-
We drew our hat over our eyes, AMI leaned to-

SAD CAsrALrTY.-THREE GIRLS DRowNED.--A
deplorable accident occurred, two weeks ago
near Fort Smith, in Arkansas, on the Cherokee
side of the Arkansas river. Five Young girls had
gone into the river to blthe and amusa them
selves; the river is very shallow, and can be for
dcd almost anywhere,b but in some l'cas there are
''holes'' where the water is very deep. The girls
were bathing and playing along the edge of a
large sand bar where the water more than
knee deep, when one of them suddenly got into
one of these deep places, two others went to her
assistance, and all three were drowned; while,
frightened by their cries and struggles, the two
remaining girls ran rs fast they could to the
shore. The very seclusion and privacy of the
spot that tempted the girls into the water, rcndcr
ed it impossible to get assistance in time to save
them. Two Of the drowned girls were sisters,
daughters of Mr.. Jackson King, the other Miss
Collins their ages are from thirteen to fifteen

sTHE CAT OUT OF THE BAG!''- Our contemporary
of the North Western Democrat has let the goat
out of the Bag" and here tits, just as perfect as
pussey herself. There seems to be little ain.
Guilty between the Minnesotian and the Democrat,
but we really hope it will not end in any thing
rious, for we pity the editor who has lost nearly
if not all his friends-we are not particular which
of our contemporaries takes this. Whoever the
coat fits will be apt to wear it. But hear what
our saucy neighbor up the river says:
"To show the extreme selfshness Of the Mime
sotan the reader is asked to call to mind the fact
that when certain shallow heads were summoned
to appear as the champions of a new party, the
Minnesotian Informed the public that it could not
fraterniZe with any movement in which It was not
the leading spirit; in other words it declared that
if the new party wanted its services it must dis
card one other wing paper. Now when principle
is the object it seems to US that men of common
sense and good morals should be willing to bury
the personal Ratchet and contend for the right
but such is not the spirit of the false skinned gen
lleman of the Minnesotian, who shows the prOm-
nence OF the projections the side Of his head, if
not the cloven foot, by his prevailing passion for
tempests of his own creation, the power Of which
is almost as great as that required to burst the
bubbles as they appear on the waters surface"
Why, amt you afraid of the wrath and indig-
nation Of the Minnesotian? You ought to be-
You dare to confront the "Senor Of the Press!''
You,-well, we never impotence so high on
the ladder before, but like Capt Scott's coon,
you are bound to come down. Stand from under.
But what do you mean by insulting us as well as
the Minnesotian? Have you any personal rcHec-
tions when you say that ''cartain shallow heals
were summoned to appear as the champions of a
new party?" We see whit you want You want
a 'sceaning out"--and if the Mmnesotian don t
annihlate you, We will. L .4 .T III
The Democrat can't mean the TINES. when it
aludes to the proposition of the Mnnesotian s:that
If the new party wanted its service it must d scard
one other Whig paper!" 1t can't be possible, be-
cause according to the Mnnesotian, we aIe a
