Liabnl.le. and r. e.ouree. OF N,,.raru.

Mr.. Soule stated in his speech last night that
the liabilities Of the Nicaraguan government
we're less than $4,000,000, which consisted most
largely oSits pro rata Of the old debt Of the Gen.
tral American Confederation, and that its as.
sets would command $35, 10000 He said that
S250,000 in the present emergency would ena-
bic the Walker-Rives government to establish
itself firmly, and that the funds thus advanced
would be paid back with large interest. Upon
the first successful blow struck by Walker, Hon
duras. and st. Salvador would be ready to JOIN
him, and Costa Rica would do the same, and
these once united, Guatamala would come into
the alliance, and the Central American Repub-
lie would reappear upon the map in renewed
lustre--but not as component part of the
American Union; that was dream. But, we
may add, such dreams have become history ere
now, and will, it is possible, become history in
future.-LouiSid1d Courier.

Mr.. EDITOR :--Be it remembered that
while William Cullen Bryant was writing
those immortal works which shed honor
on his age and nation, he was, as editor
of the New, York Evening Post doing
good service in the Democratic ranks.
To the extreme regret of his friends and
admirers he has gone over to Fremont
ard hoisted new partizan flag. The
great mystery is, how he can mix with his
present associates, Horace Greeley for in
stance and the New York Tribune. When
the aforesaid Horace was hard pressed, in
times gone-by, with the hard arguments
and massive logic of Bryant, his editorial
reply was, You lie villain, wilfully, wick
edly, basely lie." This language to Will

ed and Bryant himself is changed and got
into company with the anthor Of the strong
logic above quoted. "Oh what fall was
there my countrymen." A READER.

Labelling a Nose.

The following incident we had from q
friend who knew the party: Deacon Com
stock, of Hartford, Conn, is well known
as being provided with an enormous han
die to his countenance, in the shape of a
huge nose, in fact it is remarkable for its
great length. On q late occasion, when
taking up collection in church to which
the Deacon belongs, as he passed through
the congregation every person TO whom he
presented the bag seemed to be possessed
by sudden and uncomfortable desire to
laugh. The Deacon did not know what
to make OF it. He had often passed
round before, but no such effects as these
had he ever witnessed. The secret, how
ever, leaked out. Q He had been afflicted
for day or two with. a sore on his nasal
|appendage, and had placed q small piece
Of sticking plaster over it. During the
morning Of the day in question. the plas-
ter had dropped of, and the Deacon see
ling it, ds he supposeds son the floor, picked
itsnp and stuck it on again. But alas for
men who sometimes make great mistakes,
lie picked up, instead, one Of those pieces
|of paper which the manufacturers Of spool
cotton place on the end Of every spool,
and which read--''W Warranted to hold out
two hundred yards. !" Such . sign nsnch

Locations to which the Borderers thought
