C. The last discovery which NJ.
Kossuth hasl made, and for which the
papers are giving him credit every
where, is that the French and English
in the Crimea, are not on very good
terms. Indeed he-Mr. kossuth says
the French and English, are on no
better terms than the English and the
Mahomedans. Upon this discovery,
n prophesy might be made to establish
a rcputationl for man as a seer in
1860.

A WRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF
HORSES.

A few days ago we met q gentleman
from Alabama, who gave US a piece of
information in regard to ascertaining the
age of a horse, after he or she has passed
the ninth gear, which was new to US, and
will be we are sure 10 most of our readers.
1t is this: after the horse is nine years old,
wrinkle comes on the eyelid at the upper
corner of the lower lid, and every year
thereafter he has one wel-defned wrinkle
for each year over nine. If, for instance,
a horse has three wrinkles, he is twelve;
if four, he Is thirteen.
Add the number of wrinkles to nine, and
you will always get ii. SO says the gen
tIeman: and he is confident it will never
fail. As good many people have horses
over nine it is easily tried. If true, the
horse dentist must give up his trade

Mr.. Buchanan is destined TO encounter more
than the ordinary amount Of Presidential trouble
in disposng Of the public patronage. Not only
will he be beset by an increased number oil ap'
plicants from without but the incumbent, them
selves lof all valuable nfficesl being democrats,
with as good right 10 share in the SPOTS of Vic
tory as others Of the party will put in olemorous
demands for retention or promotion. \ CORES
pendent of Philadelphia Journal writing from
Washington says: The office holders here are
pretty well determined to put Mr.. Buchanan 10
the test Of direct removal or retention. They
are resolved to illustrate the truth of Jefcrsnns
axiom. by not resigning. Claiming to be in tho
main Democrats. and TO have advocated Mr..
Buohanans election, they see 30 reason why the
principle should be established in their persons,
of surrendering places for the convenience ef
competitors, who have no higher merits. Tho
policy of rotation is not recognized Mt all, because
neither the party creed, by former practice nor
the Cincinnati platform, makes my such feqnisi-
ton. This course is sanctioned by most OF the
incumbents of the large cities, who maintain they
are con,ending for principle in the exampe,nnd
not for any mere tenure of office. No one will
of course venture 10 dispute the holiness of their
devotion Neither does the alternative which
has been suggested as likely 10 be adopted by
the President elect, of terminating the tenure Of
Office with the expiration of present commissions.

difficult to please. Some of them would prefer Ia
be turned out at once, to being subjected 10 this
process of slow torture. At least, 50 they say

must be adopted TO suit the emergency of this
large party interest.
