BEAUTIFUL RnAsoMrMa.

Because Mr.. Donelson, while editor
of the Washington UNION, opposed
Mr.. Fillmore's administration, and per-
haps said some harsh things of it, our
cx-Lieutonant Governor Leakc was
moved to declare, in q public speech
before the late Democratic Convention,
that Mr.. Fillmore's administration
must either have been avery bad one,
or else Mr.. Donelson is the greatest
liar in the United States. We use
substantially, indeed, almost literally,
the ex-Lieutcnant's own language
Well, let us make a different applica-
tlon Of this very beautiful and conclu-
slve reasoning. 1t will be recollccted,
we suppose, that Mr.. Wise once-for
many long years together--denounced
the whole Democratic party as a pack
OF thieves and plunderers. Now, ac-
cording to our x-Licutenant's logic,
the Democratic party must either have
been what Mr.. Wise 50 vehemently
charged it with being, or else Mr.. Wise
himself was tho greatest liar" the
world ever saw.
We leave it to our logical ex-Lieu.
tenant to decide this question for him
self. If he is honest, and is not afraid
OF his shadow, he will at once speak out,
and let his party and the country know
how this matter is--whether his party
is the corruptest and meanest thing on
earth, or whether Wise is the greatest
liar on earth. One or the other horn
OF tho dilemma you are obliged to take;
there is no other alternative.

Ludicrous Mistake.

Guy, Sr. the National Hotel, Wash

like It's hard to tell tother from which.
Last week, gentleman coming down
stairs cried out.
"Gay can't stand this: being put in
the third story; have to tramp threo pair
of stairs every time go to my room /"
The reply was
"Sir it is not Guy, but Gen. Cass
you address, o,s.
Stranger (confused) - Beg your par.
den General Cass. thought it v as my old
friend Gay. Beg thousand pardons,
sir All mistake l assure you sir.
The Gen. passed out Of the building
but soon returned, and as luck would
have it, the stranger met him at full face
again, but in anolh or position. This
time he was sure he had mine host, for
the Senator from Michigan he knep had
just gone out. So the stranger stepped
boldly up, slapped the General heartily
and familiarly on the shoulder exclaim-
ed. by heavens Guy I've go, rich

just now, thought it was you and began
cursing him about my room" a

MrILARD FILLMoRE, in q speech

The above extract from Mr.. Fillmore
was quoted by Mr.. Faulkner in q
speech made in the House of Repre-
scntatives, August I'd, 1852. In that
spcech Mr.. Faulkner asserted that the
whig party had sacrificed its nationali-

Dog putting out a Fre.--One of the
most astonishing instances of the sagac-
ity of the Dog, transpired this morn
ing which ever came to our knowledge.
The Messrs Staude, Tobacconists, No
30 Congress street, closed their store
last evening, leaving their favorile New
foundland inside. This morning on o.
peDing the store the floor in the back
room was found TO be OH fire, and the
dog was laboring with his fore feet and
mouth trying To- subdue it. A pail of
water which stood in the room had been
poured down the hole. Tho faithful
animal had so successfully combatted
The fire as to prevent its spreading be-
yond spot two or three feet square. -
Flow long the noble fellow had stood
sentinel and fought down the advancin g
flames can only be conjectured--it must
have been several hours. His feet legs
and mouth, were badly burned, and it
is feared that he is seriously injured
internally by inhalng the hot air; ne
refuses food and is apparently in much
pain. We trust the sagacious and faith.
ful creature is not dangerously injured.
This is the same dog which discovered
the man Lally on the ice few weeks
since. He is worth his weight in gold
and may safely be pronounced the no.
blest OF his race.-1foy Daly Times

STUCK UP FOLKS.


Il don't like those people, they are
so dreadfully stuck up,' was the re-
mark we overheard the other day.
What are stuck up people thought we
and we have been looking about to see
if we could find any.
Doyou sec that young man over yon-
der, leaning against the post Of that ho-
tel piazza, twirling a shadow wa liking
stick; now aud then coaxing the hair on
his upper lip. and watching every lady
that passes, not that he cares TO see
them, but anxious to know whether
they observe him; he belongs to the
stuck up folks What is the occ casion
Well he happens to have rich father.
and foolish vain mother, who have
taught him that he isn't common folks
at all and that poverty is almost tho
same as vulgarity and meannoss, and so
he has become stuck up, he doesn't
take pains to learn anything, for lie
doesn't feel need Of knowing any more;
he does not work for he was never re.
quired to and he is so extensively stuck
up that he hasn't the least idea that he
will ever come down--hc doesn't know
however.
There goes young woman-lady
she calls hersolf--with the most conde-
scending air to nobody in particular,
and an all pervading consciousness that
all creation and the rest Of mankind
are looking at and admiring her; she
never earned the salt she eats, knows a
a little, of a good many things, and
nothing thoroughly of anything;is most
anxious lest sho should be troubled to
make selection out of fifty young men
all of whom are dying for her, she sup
poses; she is one of the Stuck up folks
and that is about all she is. .-
That oddish gentleman over the way
baracaded with one yard of shirt collar
guarded with gold headed cane, with
pompous patroniziug air--do you see
him? Well he is one of the stuck vi
too. He has been SO about ten years,
since he got off his leather apron, and
began 10 speculate successfully in real
estate. There are other fools of this
class, some stuck up by having at some
time been constable, justice of tho
peace, an alderman, and in various other
ways, they get stuck up nolions.-
They arc not proud people, for they do
not rise to the dignity Of pride; they are
not distinguished folks for they have
not ability or character enough to make
them so-they are just what they ap-
pear to be stuck up let them stick

IL the botanical name Of The Chinese
potato which Mr.. w. II. Prince Of
Flushing is endeavorins to introduce in
this county.
This plant was first introduced TO Eu.
rope in 1850, having been seut to Fruucu
by NJ. deMontigny, Frcnch Consul al
Shanghae, in Norhern China. Many
intelligent hotanists are Of tho opinion
that il will entirely supersede orr ord-
nary potato, which is so liable to ror.
One great superiority possessed by i,
is that tho roots may remain in tho
ground two or three years, always enlar.
gng IN size aud equally nutritious aud
excellent in favor. The roots OF this
plant can be kept out Of tho ground Il
year, and will remain firm and perfect,
free from sprouts. This property rem
deis them invaluable for use in long
sea voyages. French agricultural pub.
llcations have calculated from expert
ments there ~ gde, that an acre will pro-
duce in six months Sc, 900 pounds, and
in twelve months l20, 600 pounds. Tho
manner of cultivation suited to the com.
mon potato will apply to this. The
root is described as from fifteen to
twenty-five inches long and TWO inches
in diameter, tapering to the head; tho
outward appearance similar to the white
variety of the swee. potato skin thin,
readily pealing off when cooked; flesh
snow white, delicately farinaceous with
