PooR DoSELsoS. The Washington Union,
with malicious kind Of POPULARITY, is re-
printing from its old files 9 series Of articles
written by Mr.. Donelson on Mr.. Fillmore. to
prove his unf,ness for the Presidency, his
want Of statemanship, patriotism, & above all
other essential qualities, his lack of proper
respect and appreciation for the south These
articles published under tho title Of Char

which they originally appeared as edi.orisl

The procsedinqs of the Know Moth
ing Convention, rs recorded in Tues
days Inquirer, present some remarka-
bic statements. The nominee for the
Vics Presidency, under first impulses,
said that he left the Democratic party;
but at the suggestion of an old Wing,
who did not wish the candidate to adopt
the language of his prompter, chat the
Democratic party had left him" He
WAS then asked by Andrew Stewart
ever an opponent and reyi'er Of "Old
Hickory" y"-whcre would Gsn. jackson
be, if alive, in tha present cOntest''-
The reply Of Donelson, of course, was
"With the American Know Nothing !
party!!!" A base SANDER But the as
ssrtion Of General Mccall, that Major
Donclson had bsen the adviser of Gen.
jackson during his administration, calls
for explanation. If he means thereby,
that any of the measure, which distin-
tinguished the administration of an old
patriot, hero and statesman, were pro-
posed by Donslson, we must be allowed
10 deny the statement; because the only
case publicly ksown, in which he dared
to interfer. with the Generals judgmen
and action, i, recorded BY J, {. Rivss,
Esq, as follows:
The message Of President Jackson,
which referred to the French Indemnity
was softened by Donn'lson and others,
who wanted the nerve and Judgment of
the President. Mir. Rives brought it
back in print, and it wa, read to the
General. "Stop, DonelsOn, said Jack
son. that is not as put it: howl is tlis;"
''Why, General, )" replied Donnelson, ia
great confusion, "the Cabinat had a
meeting, and they thought tia language
WAS little too sirong, and thsy conclu-
d.d to ,oftsa it "a little" 81 don'tc re
for the Cabinet rejoined the Presi-
dent "ihis is my mess,ge-not theirs"
and turning to Mr. Rivts, observed
"Pleass restore the origiE~l langu ge ="
This was done, and ths event justified
the sagacity Of the old s'atesmsn
France paid the money. The war that
was to b., ended in smoke.
THIS incident shows what rsiiance
Gen. Jackson paced upon Donnslsen',
advice. and how far he was accustomed
to follow ii. As to tie General being in
the Know Nothing ranks, if alive, there
is not true friend Of his in the United
States that believes the foul slander

EARLY EDITION OF HAhLKT.-A literary
treasure has turned up-says the London
Atheneum,-no less than second copy of the
second edition of Hamlet, the quarto Of 1908 .
An Irish bookseller has been mystefiousiy
hawking about London this precious work,
which has hitherto possessed the rarity Of
a manuscript. The only known copy belonged
to the Duke of Devonshire, and was reprinted
a few years ago. As most readers know, the
Devonshire Hamlet is imperfect, wanting the
last leaf The second copy also wants leaf
happily not the last, but the hrst-the title
page. We have now, therefore, q complete
copy Of the original text of Hamlet; and che
newly recovered leaf contains, we are told, a
new and important reading. Of course many
hearts are sore at missing such a treasure.
1t found its way, however, into the hands Of
Mr.. Boone, the bookseller, in Bond street, at
the cost We believe Of f70, and subsequently
into the hands of a well known and indefati-
gable Shakesperisn collector, for the moder-
ate price Of tl20.

SOBRIETr OF THE GREEKs.-The food of an
English laborer would be enough in Greece
for a family Of six persons The rich are we'll
satisfied with dish Of vegetables for their
meal; the poor with a handful of olives or a
piece of salt fish. The entire population eats
meat at Easter for the whole year. L do not
believe a Greek ever died Of indigestion.
Drunkenness, so common in cold countries, is
rare vice with the Greeks; they are great
drinkers-but wator drinkers. They would
have scruples about passing by a fountain
without drinking at it, but If they enter q
tavern it is to chatter. The coffee houses of
Athens are full Of people, and at all hours;
but the customers do not take strong liquors
they ask for a cup Of coffee at a penny, q
glass of water, light for their cigarettes, q
newspaper, and a game Of dominoes; they
then have enough to keep themselves occupied
for the day. In two years have not met
with man dead drunk in the streets, and /
believe il would be easy to count all the drunk
ards in the kingdom. Il may be said that
the Greek people have no inclination for any
kind Of excess, and that they take all their
pleasures with equal sobriety.
This sobriety naturally explains Che fact
that insanity is rare in Greece. Madness also
is malady exceedingly rare in the kingdom.
A hospital for the blind has Just been con-
structed in Athens il will never be necessary
TO build one for madmen.

SIGNALS FOR VESSELS. - The Scientific
American is Of the opinion that if all vessels
were compelled to carry and use visual and
auricular signals, at night and in fogs, colIi-
sions at sea might be completely prevented;
and urges the adoption of light signals by all
vessels navigating the ocean; also, the use Of
steam whistles when practicable. On sailing
vessels an air whistle, operated by hand, like
a pump, could be used, and il could be CON-
structed to send forth its screams TO a distance

SAVING BACON The English never smoke
their bacon. They say:
ooh the trouble folks have taken,
To smoke and spoil their bacon -


To smoke and spoil their bacon /"
The Canadian Agriculturist, taking the
same view, says that curing bacon is like the
the lrishman's mode of making punch. m.
said Put in the sugar, then fli 1t up with
whisky, and every drop of water you put in
after that spoils the punch" Just so with
curing bacon after being properly saIted
and peppered at the heck end, every drop
of smoke you put it about spoils the bacon.
Another mode Of saving bacon has been
given by correspondent Of the N. 4. Far
mer. He says he was entertained at the
house of a friend, and at dinner he had rea-
son to compliment him on the excellent quail.
ty of his bacon, and nquired to know its
method of preparing and preserving. To orr
surprise, says he, We we're informed tbst the
portion of our meal was cooked eigb. months
before. He stated that il was his practice 20
slice and fry his bacon Immediately on its be.
ing cured, and then pack il down in its Own
fat When occasion came for using il, the
slices slightly refried, and had all the fresh
ness and flavor of new bacon Just prepared.
In this way our friend had always succeeded
in "saving his bacon" fresh and sweet through
the hottest weather.
