They ARE TO HAVE AN 0RGAS.-lt will be
seen from our Lancaster correspondence that the
democracy are really to have an organ In this
metropolis, and that Hon. Robert J. Walker il to
be m0etro Of the trouye. This new organ, under
bis control is TO start upon capital of 100000
more or less. We presume that the chief aids Of
Mr.. Walker will be Mr.. George Sanders. Mr..
Daniel L. Sickles, and the sachems Of Tammany
Hail. Occasionally we shall also look for a con-
tributon from Undertook and from the Ki. chen
Cabinet at Washington, with regulsr official in
siructions from Col. Forney. Mr.. Walker, since
leaving the Treasury Department has occupied
himself in various extensive land and railroad
speculatons, and, If we are not mistaken, has
failed in all We fear that In this newspaper
enterprise he and bis assistants will more sig
naly fail than in lands or railroads. and that they
will soon swallow up the hundred thousand upon
which they are to startr-that is to say, If they
get II. But we shall sec Undoubtedly, Forney
Is frightened; unquestionably, the democracy
here are sadly in want Of an efficient and circula-
ting organ; but We await the solution of the ex-
pertinent Of Mr. Walker & Co TO supply this
hiatus. Pacific Railroad stock will hardly do for
paper makers, compositors, pressmen, 6c.-therc
must he some money in the outset. To this end
we have no doubt that contributions. large and
small. will be thankfully received by Col Forney
To give democratic organ in this city. at this
day, large circulation il must be largely circu-
lated without money and without price"

This liberal policy cannot be too much COM

But one thing is certain. Unless the secular
power Of the church is entirely broken up in
Mexico, it can never hope for stability. We hope

The sales Of cotton yesterday were limited to
Sew hundred bales without change Of importance
In prices. Flour was firm, with fair transactions

tame, and the advance was scarcely maintained.

Mohanmedanism is now proiessed
by one hundred and fifty millions

who are quite familiar with it, that
it is by no means in that state OF de-

believe. The dominions Of the reli-
gion ofthe prophet embrace, besides
Turkey in Europe, which is but a
drop in the great sea, large portions
of the continents Of Asia and Africa.

In Moslem law, prophets, martyrs
and saints are not supposed to be
dead; their property, therefore, re-
mains their own. the Ulema have
COMPOUNDED themselves in the con-
siderations of the prophetic state af-
ter death. Many declare that proph-
cts live and pray for forty days in
the tomb; at the expiration of which
time they are taken to the presence
of their Maker, where they remain
till the last blast Of lsrael's trumpets.
The common belief, however, leaves
the bodies in the graves, but no one
would dare to assert that the holy
ones are suffered to undergo corrup-
ton; on the contrary, their faces are
blooming, their eyes bright, and blood
would issue from their body ifwound.

He gave me knife one day at school,
Four-bladed, the handle Of pearl!
And great black words on the wrapper said,
"For the darfingest little GIRL"
I was .lad! Dyes, yet the crimson blood
Te my young cheek came and went.
And my heart thump'd wondrously pit-a-pat-
5 But didn't know what it meant.
One night he said I must jump on his sled,
For the snow was falling fast;
was half afraid, but he coaxed and coaxed,
And he got me on at last.
Laughing and chatting in merry glee,
To my home his course he bent,
And my sisters looked at each other and smiled
But didn't know what it meant.
The years passed on, and they touched bis eye
With shade of deeper blue;
They gave to his form manlier grace
To his cheek swarthier hue.
We stood by the dreamily-rippling brook,
When the day was almost spent
Bis whispers were soft as the lullaby
And-ro,o I kneu acAat Il meant!

Mr.. Banks a Know Nothing.

George R. Pelton, a know nothing
member from the 3rd district in
New York, in the Tribune of the
22nd ult., defends his vote for Banks
for Speaker. This he does, not SO
much on the ground that Banks is q
Black Republican, as that be (Banks)
| is a sworn member of the Order OF
Know Nothings, Of which Pelton
himself is protesting and persecu-
ting Leader. Mr.. Pelton says: "lt
was finally discovered that men Of all
parties, who were opposed to the
breaking up Of the Missouri Com
promise line and opposed to the Ad-
ministration, must unite upon some
one who would represent the anti
Nebraska and American (Know
Nothing) sentiment Of the House.
at became evident that the only
man whom we (the know nothings)
could elect was N. P. Banks" @Mr.
Banks, if his position and principles
we're we'll known, certainly cannot be
Objectionable to any American * M
North of the slavery limits" The
{K NJ Councils should not forget
that it was Banks who so gallantly
led the American {iK N)forces in the
last Congress, and that during the
last canvass in Massachusetts, he
proclaimed and defended himself as
an anti NEBRASKA American * NJ
He is now member fthe Order, in
good standing at home" So Mr..
Banks-is as much of a K N as he is
an abolitionist, and bis election is a
triumph Of both know nothings and
abolitionists.

:, the principal physician

DR., the prlnclpal physlclal
| of the Insane Hospital and she de
sired her attendant to accompany be-
to that place, when she would pay
him at once. Who could resist sucl
a request from a beautiful woman--s
request spoken as much with the
eyes as the voice? Not the clerk
certainly. q
! The two got into the carriage to.
lgether and back it whiried to the
Hospital. The lady jumped from
the carriage, and was warmly greeted
by the doctor who was at tae en-
trance.
aDoctor, this is my husband" said
she with an air at once sweet and sor-
rowful.
The poor attendant started. He
was aghast. He could not fathom her
meaning.
AWhat did you say?''
1Doctor, this is my husband; please
take him in charge
"The devil, madam, I'm not your
husband! what do you mean
Bursting into tears she sobbed
aloud, ''He has another spasm-he has
another attack. Oh! Doctor, if you
have pity in your soul, secure him,
and save yourself and me from vio-
lence."
In vain the poor fellow attempted
to explain. He was hurried along
the corridor and into a room, and
confined securely-the woman all the
while following close behind, weeping
as though her heart would break
The doctor and the lady returned to
the reception room, and the latter
after giving the other an outline OF
the peculiarities of her alleged
husbands attacks, together with
some directions in reference to the
care she desired to have bestowed
upon him, left, promising to re-
turn again in few days. And away
whirled the carriage, the silver ware
and the lady; neither Of which has
been heard of since.
The poor attendant was confined
for three days before any one about
the establishment could be induced
to convey letter to his employers;
who all the time were suspecting his
honesty, and preparing to advertise
him in the newspapers. Upon the
reception Of the letter ii did not take
them long to discover that they had
been sold most brilliantly; and upon
their appearance at the hospital it did
not take the Doctor long to discover
that be had been sold decidedly; the
poor attendant was satisfied upon his
arrival at the hospital, that he had
been sold most sorrowfully indeed. -
And here we think, we will end the
story, which has been talked over in
fashionable circles for the past three
or four days with many hearty
laugh.
