THE CREDIT SYSTEM AMONG NEwspA.
PERs.--The Springfield Republican ex-
pounds the law on this subject in the fol-
lowing terms :-"Any important or valu-
able information, any elaborate report OF
article, that has cost especial labor or ex-
pense, we claim should be credited to the
newspaper which produces it, if copied OF
used by others but for mere news items
telegraph summaries and the like, espec-
tally when re-condensed by rewriting, We
neither desire credit for ourselves, nor
think it necessary to give it to others. y
The Republican is excellent authority in
the premises, for its labors are more ex-
tensively appropriated than those of al
most any other paper with which we ex-
change. But its rule and practice are
sensible and just in themselves. 1t is RI
diculous, says the Republican, to elongate
the fact that Widow Maguire's barn was
burnt, or that neighbor Jones broke his
leg, or that the village squire has killed a
big calf, weighing so many hundred pounds,
by adding to each that the knowledge
thereof first came to the public in the col
ums of the Buncomville Gazette and Jour
nal. 1t is enough that such things be,
and that they are stated in the fewest
words possible, for the time of the reader
and space of the printer are limited, and
must be turned to the best account.

Louis NapoIeon's Dentist.

The New York Times, Of the 2Sth Feb.
says:
A puff of dentist, formerly of this
city, is going the rounds, to the effect that
on occasion of late presentation of
Americans at the Tuilerics, the Emperor
of France recognized said dentist as the
man who pulled tooth for him in New
York, nearly twenty years ago. A cor
respondent, who processes to know the
dental history of Louis Napoleon in this
country, writes us that the only teeth ex-
tractcd from the head of the illustrious
exile during his sojourn in this country,
were drawn from him By virtur of ~ in
strument commonly known as I.a!;~~, at
that time in the hands of an abandoned
female, whose character and history are
familiar to the police authorities of New
York. How our correspondent knows,
he does not say.

kepOrt Of the Committee on Claims,

Mr.. SPEAKEE The Committee on Claims
having gwen due consideration to the petition
OF the city of San Jose for relief, have, In
( cordance with the expressed Gesire of the I, :,
gate from that city instructed me 70 ttc. 8
mend that this claim take the track of ITS
Industrious predecessor" provided The said
delegate gives his solemn assurance that tho
committee shall be secure from the terrors OF
4 San Jose mandamus
/ The committee have also examined the claim
| of VIM McNees, and submit the following
facts IN relation thereto: The petitioner left
| Sacramento in July, 1850, with forty-six pack
ANIMALS loaded with various 1ds of provisions
to meet the emigration on ths other side OF
the Sierra Nevada. While in Carson Valley.
ne met with so much destitution and suffering
that he resolved to turn his adventure from
one OF profit to one of philanthropy, and ac-
cordlngy dispeased nearly all his provisions in
charity, selling enough however to cover first
cost and something more. Had he remained
IN Sacramento, such was the destitution in
that city, he might have had fair chance of
not even saving first cost. This expedition
was designed for gain, to realize large profits,
but circumstances thwarted him in the reali-
zatlon OF his hopes, as has been the case with
many other adyenturers in California. As it
was, 1t appears to the committee that the pe-
tltloner lost nothing, but his time for two or
three months which hundreds have done in
less landab!e employments, and the loss of O
little mule flesh. The claim seem. to be laid
Nor the imaginary sum he might have made
had he remained at home
10 allow this claim on such grounds, would
produce glow Of hope in the breasts of the
Gold Lake and Cold Bluff expeditonists, as
well as the recent straggers from Kern River
This claim against the State was under con-
Slderation by the Senate committee on claims
of last session, and its rejection recommended.
We see no reasons for dissenting from that
recommendation,
The petition of DR.. Ormsby, for remunera'
ton for similar expenditures on the other side
OF the mountains, for similar purposes, is
recommended to follow its comrades and share
the same fate
The committe have also considered Senate
bill No. lis, entitled an Act for the relief Of
b. Wing and w. II. Williamson, who served
as Sergent-at-Arms for the recent State Prison
and Hospital committees The COMMITTEES are
OF the opinion that to save the passage of too
many bills it would be good policy to wait
until the accounts of the clerks, pages and
porters OF those committees, are presented and
embody the whole in one bill, but being desir-
Gus of clearing their docket, they recommend
the bill to the tender mercies of the House.
BY order, WAITE, Chairman.

TIPPING LADIEs.-The New York
Express is responsible for the following
A ludicrous, but somewhat painful affair
took place few evenings since, we under.
stand, in select Female Academy up
town, compromising somewhat the Mis-
tress of the Establishment. Several of the
pupils mothers had dropped in, and re-
malned to take dish of tea, and being
short of milk, an Irish girl was sent to a
elgboring grocery to get some. The tea
was handed round, and some surprise was
telt that the milk did not color it, but
no one liked to speak at length the old
lady ventured a hint, and the exclamation
became general. The Mistress of the
Academy colored very deeply, but of
course could not account for it, and sum-
moned the girl
"Bridget," said the lady, "what was
that you obtained at the grocery"
'Shure it was milk, ma 'am,' the girl re-
piled.
Milk p exclaimed the lady, "why smell
it," handling her the jug at the same time
It's gin, it is, or my nose dasaves me,
said the girl, 'but shure it's milk I asked
for, and don't | go there every day for
the same kind of milk for you mann -
1t is needless to say that the indignant
parents quilted the house, after formal
leave-taking, and that several young la
dies were hastily summoned home.

HEAVY BUTTER-We learn that some
butter makers in the country sold 10. of
butter in rolls. at one of our groceries in
the city, a few days since, and, after hav-
ing weighed it, received the market price
per pound. On cutting open on. of Il c
rolls it was found to contain stono OF
considerable size. On examining the lot
every roll was found to contain simila,
amount Of ballast, neatly moulded into
this costly delicacy of the present season.
The dealer not detecting the fraud till af
ter the countryman left, and not being
acquainted with him, came to the unplcas.
ant conclusion that the rogue had both
sold his butter and sold him.-Alton Cou

Farewell.

Farewell! ! cannot brook the thought
That thou and | must parted be
That we no intercourse must know
Save that which springs from memory:
Yet we must part-my eyes with thine
On earth must never meet again;
For though they long and fondly look
Alas! they may but look in vain.
Farewell when in life's morn we met
never dreamed how long a spell
The flight of few years could form
Yet it must break: farewell farewell
The past feel is brighter now
Than the dim future e'er can be:
One only hope it now ontains-
lingering hope of meeting thee.
Farewell. until this parting hour,
never knew how dear thou art
But OF! lite's brightest dream has past,
With that sad word with which we part.
Yet thou shall ever shrined lie
Within this fond heart nn,ost cell,
Until we meet in that bright land
w here we TO more shall say, Farewell

R~ Commodore Perry's success in
Japan, as the pioneer in one of the great
est e enterprises of the age, has awakened
the attentlon OF other nations. We have
seen that England followed his example,
with only partial success, and NOW the
Dutch Government cannot go too far in
honoring the efforts of their seamen. What
we owe to Commodore Perry for his exer-
tions we may gather from the example Of
other nations. A letter from correspon-
dent says:
81 wrote you by my last letter the Dutch
expedition had returned from Japan, after
having been promised the same advantages
granted to the United States.
The Dutch are trying to make the mos

ry OF the Decenia and now he will send

the pleasure of meeting the officers of his
staff, and an English lady, the Hon. Miss
Derryman, who had come to the Crimca
to visit her brother, a young officer woun-
ded at lnkermann. His lordship asked
me many questions about America, and
was much interested, as they all were, to
know the feeling of Americans in refer
ence to the war.
ellis lordship lives in large house
appropriated to the purpose, about two
miles from the front camp, and maintained
grand style with his suit of apartments,

THE "ARIsToCRATIC DRY RoT. 1.-The
late attacks of the press upon the aristo-
cratic element of the British Government
as the cause of the present defects in the
military system is seconded by Douglass
Jerrold, who calls it the ''aristocratic dry
rot" and says the whole fabric is struc-
ture of a century and more of the most
shameful injustice, the vilest jobbing, and
the most selfish ignorance. He congratu-
lates the country on its fall with the min
istry, and says:
"Henceforth, we must have generals
and officers from the great mass of the
people, and not from few coteries.-
Genius and wounds and service must hence
forth purchase military rank, and not cash.
Scars may buy promotions but not bank
checks. And the time is fast coming
present events hurry it onward-when the
people of England will no longer be the
property of two or three houses-coronet-
ed Noodles and Doodles; imbecilities that
'came in with the Conqucror,' and will 90
out with the coming of the conquering
mass-but will supply their own statesmen
