as4- IN the recent war at the Cape Of
Good Icre, tho Dutch settlers used SINH
lar means for the determination of the
nafirs, that tie French in Algeria did the
natives there; only that the French built
fires and roasted the Algerinos, and the
Dutch saved their fuel and starred the
Kaffirs. After the Dutch had persued
the barbarians to great cavern, they wall
ed Up the narrow opening to prevent
escape. In three days, hunger and thirst
forced some of them to come forth, when
the men were shot down as fast as they
appeared, and the woman and children
allowed to escape. At the close of three
weeks there were no signs of life, when ii
was found that nine hundred had been shot
at the opening of the cavern, and larger
number had perished by slow starvation

THERE is MONEY ENoUGH-Eight
thousand five hundred square miles of this
earth's surface are devoted to the culture
of tobacco. The quantity annually pro-
duced has been recently estimated to be
four and half pounds for each inha bitant.
Tue first cost of one years growth of to
bacco, at four cents pound, is one hun
dred and eighty millions of dollars out
the sum annually expended for tobacco by
the whole human family is thought to be
at least FIVE hundred millions of dollars.
This would keep an army of FIVE hurdred
teachers at work at salary OF one thou
sand dollars each. Itwould put railroad
round the world. 1t would pay fot three
railroads, double-track, from New York to
San Francisco. 1t would support in
comfort all the honest poor on the globe.
If it were within the compass of human
power-which it is MOTTO expend so
vast sum judiciously in improving the
human race by knowledge, discipline and
art, it would, in two or three generations,
Danish from the world ignorance, want,

gS% 4 Massachusetts, paper says

Notwithstanding the severe opposition
of the old parties and their presses to the
Know Nothings i'll this State, it is repor-
ted on good authority, that the order was
never more prosperous or strong than
now. Without the means Of certain
knowledge in the matter, we feel sure
that such is the case, and that in the last
four months they have nearly absorbed
the opposition that manifested itself in our
Municipal election, so that it can never
be rallied again. Persons who look for
the dissolution of that party before the
next presidential election, will wake up
the morning after that evert to find what
blunder they have made. Shrewed cal
culators will not leave Sam" out cf the
account in that way.

Oh BUT GooD.-A fellow who ,,aill
on the railroad 20 Boston, some time ago.
being ? stranger, strolled about tol some
time On the 'outcqulrts' o. the town, IT
search of barber. He finally discovered
one, AMI requested the operator 20 take
of u shilling's worth Of hair Thu bar
Der trimmed his locks very neatly, soaped
up the remainder very handsomely, and
then combNd and brushed him up till his
head looked as lfit belonged to some othe,
man.
Are you done;' asked the stranger as
the barber, removed the napkin from his
neck
yes sir, said the barber, with a polite
bow.
Are you certain that you took off a
shilling worth;'
Yes sir, there's the glass, you can look
for YOURSELF
'Well,' said the stranger, if you think
you have got shilling's worth off, don't
know as I've got any use for it, and l
haven't got no change, so you may just take
the hair for your trouble
On hearing this, the barber made jump
for the man, whereupon he made Jump
for the door, which not being bolted, he
bofted himself The barber vowing If
that man ever came along again, he'd have
him nlbed to death by ducks.

ng- The following rich scene is repor-
ted to have taken place at San Francisco
during the financial panic in February
last:
The day of the panic it was very
puzzling thing to know what to do with
the money that had been drawn. y poor
Dutchman who had couple of hundred
dollars in Page, Bacon & Co.'s, drew it
out, and after carrying it about an hour
or two, thinking Adams & Co. must be
perfectly safe, deposited there Hap
pening to hear some doubts expressed
about them an hour later, he became
alarmed and drew it out again; he then
took it to Wright's, and opened an ac-
count with him; he had not got ten yards
from the door, before he saw man rush
ing in his Office, looking very wild. Poor
Sourkrout thought the devil must be to
pay there, too, and forthwith drew check
for his two hundred. He continued to
deposit and draw out again at nearly eve
ry banking house in town, when, getting
tired out, and thoroughly in despair, he
sat down on curb-stone, wiped the per-
spiration from his face and soliloquized
thus:
"Mine Cot, mine Cot, we're shall 1 put
mine tollars Me put Lin in ten tifer-
ent Pank; so soon l put him dere, he
pekin to preak-I gets him out, and he
no preak. l tink every man vos proke
l take him home, and sows him up in ter
petticoat of mine vrow-and spose she
prake, preakes her head"
And struck with this idea, he rushed
home, and probably has rejoiced over his
plan.

Gov Reeder Of Kansas, appears to be
man Of pluck and spirit His refusal to grant
certificates TO the Missolricns claiming to be
elected to the legislative council drew a crowd
of the desperadoes about his dwelling, who
sent him word that they would allow him ff.
teen minutes to sign the certificates, resign his
office, or be hung. He replied, in one m;nute
that he would prefer TO hang TO either Of tho
other propositions bat when they saw that
he would be defended, they did not choose to

NK One very frequently hears the r,

ek| One very frequently hears the re-
mark made, that such and such man,
lean be a gentleman when he pleases. -
Now when our reader next hears this ex-
preston made use of, let him call to mind
the following:
''He who 'can be gentleman when he
pleases, never pleases to be any thing else
Circumstances may, and do, every day
in life, throw men Of cultivated minds and
refined habits into the society of their in
feriors E; but while, with the tact and read
mess that is their especial prcrogative,
they make themselves welcome among
those with whom they have few if any
sympathies in common, yet never by any
accident do they derogate from that high
standard which makes them gentlemen
So, on the other
hand, the man of vulgar tastes and coarse
propensities may simulate, if he be able,
the outward habitudes of society, speaking
with practiced intonation, and bowing
with-studied grace; yet he is nc more a
gentleman in his thought and feeling than
is the tinselled actor who struts the mon
arch his custome would bespeak him
This being the gentleman when he likes,
is but the mere performance of character
1t has all the smell of the stage and foot
lights about it, and never can for mo-
mert, be mistaken by one who knows the
world. A cloak too large cannot be worn
by small man.
