CALL NATIVE AMERIGANs.''-The Madison
Argus uses some very large type in making
the important announcement that every one of
Gov. BashGord's appointments to Office, in and
about the capital, thus far, are "Native Amer
icansin This is truly awful Will the Ar
gus tell us whether these native Americans
arc not as competent to do the duties assigned
them, as foreigners? Are they not just as
much entitled to confidence as foreigners? If
they are, then why this bowling? The fact
is, under the late administration none but for
eigners were appointed to Office about the capt.
tai, and now if there has been change, it is
but fair turn round
Under the lead of such unprincipled dema-
gogues as those who control the columns Of
the Argus, the foreigners have almost become
to believe that call the Offices about the capital
belonged to them" 1t is we'll that they
should now learn their mistake.

0IWe presume very few Of our readers are
aware that the Hon. James Buchanan tried
his fortunes in kentucky and failed. We find
the following paragraph in the Glasgow pa
per.
We are indebted to the reading Of one of the
speeches of the late Ben. Hardin, made in the
convention to revise the constitution of Ken
lucky, for a part of the history of Mr. Buch-
anan. Hardin says Buchanan commenced the
practice of the law in Elizabethtown in Har-
din CO, in this State. He soon became dis
satisfied and returned to Pennsylvania. Ten
or fifteen years afterwards, Hardin met him in
Congress, and Buchanan said the reason he
left Kentucky was this-that when he went
to Kentucky, he expected to be great man
there, but every lawyer he met was his equal,
and moro than half of them his superior, and
he gave it up. Mr.. Hardin says, at the time
Mr.. Buchanan resided in Kentucky, he dis
covered him to be man of fine education and
respectable talents.

A DUCK OF HUsBAND.-A married man in
Paris had inherited during the past year from
his uncle $4,000. He began to speculate on
the Bourse, where he was surprisingly fortu-
nate. He did not say word about his good
luck to his wife. New Years Day came, and
he said to hear: "My dear, here is a ticket for
the opera, which give you as your New
Years Gift.'' His modest spouse accepted it
with gratitude. OFF they went to the opera.
When the performance was over, and they de-
scended to the vestibule, "A livery servant appear
ed, and threw over the lady's shoulders splen-
did opera cloak lined crimson. The lady,
amazed, looked first at the cloak and then at
the servant, who, bowling respectfully, told her
that her carriage was at the door. In state
of stupefaction she entered mechanically a
very handsome new carriage, hearing. as she
did SO, the lootman tell the coachman to drive
home; but this home was not the one she had
left few hours before. An elegant little suite
of apartments, richly and tastefully furnished,
now met her bewildered gaze; and her hus-
band offering her the key, said, "My dear,
have now presented you with the New Years
gift really intended for you" Atsupper the
mystery was cleared up, by full confession
from him of the source of this good fortune
Letter from Paris.

A Visitor from the Skies.

A beautiful little bird, of some species en-
tirely unknown to us, fitted into our sanctum
thesother morning, like CLEAN of sunshine,
and for an hour lowered about US as if an
angel spirit. A pleasant thought mid world
ly cares, gentle breeze stirring summers
heated stagnation, flower in desert star
in clouded sky-as any Of these or as all of
them was the bird visit. A gentle presence
was withdrawn when he left The brush Of
angel wings had passed. A pure spirit had
touched humanity with its pinion, and for Il
moment frightened the dross Of earth. Spirit
or bird, we wish thee well.

my LIFE rs IN THE CAUSE We happen-
ed at Williamsport, Ind, upon the day that
the trial of the Ladies who demolished the
whisky of that place, lately, was to come of.
While conversing with some of them we ask
ed if they did not fear the result Of their &C.
ton. "No,'' replied one of the ladies, whose
care worn look too plainly told that intenipe-
rance had caused her sorrow-trouble un-
speakable-"a l ask is to be out of prison
whenever whisky is again sold to destroy the
peace and happiness of families as it has mine.

STRING FASHIONS IN THE SPIRIT WORLD
Betsey L. g., whose letters from the spirit
world are published in the New England
Spiritualst, thus describes the spring style of
dress in her "diggings:"
"The males generally wear loose white gar
ments with girdle made of different kinds Of
material, generally of silver and gold cord
Some wear jewels, but this is not common.
They wore their hair and boards long, and
sandals of various hues. The females are
more elaborate in dress-they have more taste
that way-and are allowed to indulge it,
for the motives of dress here are not as of
earth. 1t is not for vanity, or any such mo-
tive; but from love of the pure and beautiful,
and desire to do anything pleasant in the
sight of God. | generally dress in light
blue dress, made loose flowing, or bound with
silver or white silk; silver cord around the
waist, or jewels girdle. l wear my long
hair braided and some times flowing or bound
with silver band. have also white dresses,
of so fine fabric they look like air; this kind
am very fond of wearing With such dress
wear an emerald girdle, made in the shape
of leaves and forming a wreath; this is clasped
by one large pearl. l bind my hair with a
string of pearls when | wear such a dress. l
I wear white slippers always.

yesterday ARE owing to the well watered condi-

for thus diluting milk.

fine counter voice. He was sent for at court;
but evadng to go by feigning some slight ex-
cuse, was commanded to attend At the pal
ace, he was placed in chair in the middle of
spacious hall, and suddenly drawn up to a
great height, when the king and his atten-
dants appeared in a gallery opposite to him.
At the same time number of a0iM bears were
turned into the hall. The king bid him choose
whether he would sing or be let down among
the ferocious beasts. Abel chose the former,

well on any occasion before. From this Cir
