Colma n, in his European Life and Man.
ners," gives the following description of the
Dutch women:
81 think some of them are the fsirest and
hsnGsomest creatures ever looked upon. 81
made of unmixed porcelain clay. Before l
lef; England though, the English woniea
the tarest had ever seen-I now consider
them as belonging to the colored races
The Dutch women much excel them. Take
the iariest ruse that was ever plucked, with
the gittering dew drops hanging among its
petals; take the fsrest peach that ever hung
upon the tree, with its charming blended tints
OF red and white, and ;hey are eclipsed by
the transparency and beauty Of complexion
of the fairest Dutch women, as saw them
Brock and Saardam. II :heir minds are
as fair, Sand their manners as winning, as
their faces, then can easily understand -the
history of Adams fall. 1t was impossible,
poor fellow, that he should resist. Then
their costume is so pretty and elegant--a sort
ct thin gold hemlet fitting close to the head,
leaving enough of the hair to part gracefully
over the brows; thin Sut wi le band of high
ly wrought and Furnished gold extending a.
cross the forehead; at the end of this some
rich and elegantly wrought filagree orna-
ments Of gold, with spended eardrops or Of
diamonds set in gold, with beautiful cape of
the finest BRUSSELS lace.'

A string of thirteen propositions is going
the rounds Of the Democratic papers as an
f." admirable enunciation and condensation Of
the Democratic creed" 1t is piece Of
good fortune in the party to be able to find
out its characteristics. The question has
often been asked, "What is Democracy"
And the most sensible solution we ever heard
was that given by a blunt couniryman who
never sweryed from his fidelity 70. the path

MISCELLANEOUS.
From the Chicoga Times.
SCENE IN REALL1FE.

We do not often indulge in the sentiment
tai, but occasionally in our walks our atten-
ton is called to events happening before us,
which leave an impression upon our mirds,
and lead us to thoughts and reflections which
it is well we, as all other men should indulge
In at times. -'
We had been on the north side to see an
acquaintance at his hotel, and returning by
Clark street, found, as is generally the case
with man in hurry one OF those little bu-
sy invention steam tug, had passed up tine
river with small feet OF vessels in tow, one
of which had been cast off, and had huled in
just west of the bridge. Seeing no hopes Of
getting to our Office for sometime, and know
ing tina. our compositors could not be in any
worse temper an hour later than then, we re-
solved to bear it meeky aud find mental oc
cupation by observing what going
on about US. We little expected what did
occur.
The vessel we have mentioned had been
moored or made fast outside of several caIal
boats, and as we stood looking at the men
upon her, one OF them approached female,
who had been crouched upon the deck, and
addressing her; pointed to the shore, then to
the bridge, and then down toward the throng-
ed busy streets Of living, moving, headlong
Chicago. She rose, picked upa small bundle,
from which she drew lorth coin, which she
rendered to the hardy sailor. He refused it
what ever it was, and lending her hand,
helped her from the vessel to the dock, and
from the dock up to the bridge. BY this time
large crowd Of persons thronged the north
end Of where the bridge would be, if it was
always a bridge, and in contemplating the
new faces, and the representatives of the
various classes there assembled, we had al
most forgotten the incident we had related
Our attention was called from vain endeay-
or to discover some hopes Of a cessation oil
tugs going up and down, and schooners snd
brigs pulling in and out, by hearing most
audible sob from Some one near us. It was
not the sob of a childhood, caused by some
sudden charge from gaiety to grief, il was the
sob from some msiurer breast, filed with .
sense Of loneliness and despair. Il reached
other ears than ours. A lady, dressed in I.
manrer which bespoke wealth that coul.
crafty taste and allegiance, and who, like our
selves. vas detained at that pllce, stood near
accompanied by three children, whose desir
to get at the extreme edge Of the platform
was with great difficulty rePrssssd. CO..

Election in California-The Know
Nothings Triumphant. .

We take the foloTing d.tails of the late
election in Califo. MIA from the New York
Tribune of Monday:
The grest object Of interest during the last
fortnight has been the result of the election
for State and county officers, held on the 5!h
ult The whole Know.Nothing State ticket
is elected, though r. NJ. Anderson, candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, and Hugh e:
Murry. candidate for Supreme Justice, have
succeeded by only small msjorites. The
other candidates have from three thousand to
Eve moiority. The State officers elect are:
GOVERNOR. Nicely Johnson.
Lieutenant Governor-R. NJ. Anderson.
Justices Supreme Cour,-Long term, II. c.
Murry; short term, David S. Terry
Comptroller-Geo.W w. Whitman.
Treasurer-Henry Bates.
Attorney-W. C. Wallace.
Surveyor--John A. Brewster.
State Printer--Iamer Allen.
TIE Know-Nothings have majority fons
or three in the Senate and about twenty in
the Assembly.
The new administration goes into office on
New Years day. Nearly all the mining
Counties, particularly those in the north, went
for Johnson. San Francisco and the south
ern coast counties OF Santa Ba bara, Los
Angeles, San Diego, and San Bernardo,
(Mormondom0 went for Biger.
The total number OF votes cast in San Fran
cisco was twelve thousand seven hundred and
twenty-iour.
A vote upon the Prohibitoty liquor law was
taken at the election, but the returns are not
inyel The vote was light, and was nearly
equally divided So lar as heard from, the
majority is aga nst the Jaw. The election
passed off as peaeeaby as days generally DO
in California. There were but four or five
arrests, Tor unimportant offences during the
day. The city gave msiorities in almost eve
ry ward foS the Democratic party.

THE OLD FARMERS ELEGY.
On a green mossy knoll, by tho bank of the
brook
That SO long and so often has watered his flock
The old farmer rests in his long and last sleep,
While the waters low, lisping lullaby keep;
He has plowed his last furrow, has reaped his
last grain,
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
The blue bird sings sweet on the gay maple
bough,
Its warbling oft cheered him while holding the
plough;
And the robbins above him hop light on the
mould ..... ... s
For he fed them with crumbs when the seuson
was cold; .... .......
He has plowed his last furrow, &c.
Yon tree that with fragrance is filling the air.
So rich with its blossoms, so thrifty and fair.
By his own hand was planted, and well did he
say,
1t would live when itr planter had mouldered
away;
He has rowed his last furrow, &c.
There's the well he dug; with its waters SO cold
With its wet dripping bucket, so mossy and DID,
No more from its depth by the patriarch drawn
For the pitcher is broken'-the old man is gone;
He has plowcd his furrow, &c.
And the seat where he sat by his own cottage
door,
In the still summer eve, when his labor was DER
With his eyes on the moon, and his pipe in Ills
hand,
Dispensing his truths like sage of the land:
He has plowsd his last furrow, SC.
Twas gloom giving day when the old farmer
died.
The stout. hearted mourned,t the affectionate cri.
ed; . ... ... ....,, ......
And the prayers of the just for the rest did as
cend, ..... ..-.s4s
For they all lest brother, man, and a friend
lie has plowed his last furrow, &c, ...,. tn
For upright and honest the old farmer was;
His God he revered, he respected the laws;
Though fameless he lived, he has gone where
his worth,
llout shine, like pure gold all the dross o
the earth;
He has plowed his last furrow, &e.

To TAKE OUT SrAIEs.-Coffee stains,
mud splashes, &c. will mostly give way to
the use cf soap and water. Curd soap should
be appeu :or this purpose. Obstinate stains,
which W i'll not yield to these treatments
must be submitted to the bleaching powers
Of the fumes OF burning sulphur. This is
conveniently applied by lighting some sulphur
under cone or funnel made of card-board.--
The stains must be wet, and then held over
the top of the chimney until they disappear.

Yes!
