SpirituaIism m France.

Aspirit rapper named Hume is causing sen- aton in Paris, by the introduction into the palaces thereof table-tripping antics, and other phenomena of the kind, with which the Ame- rcan transcendentalists are familiar. Some time since he performed at the Tuileries, be- lore the Emperor and Empress, and scientific gentleman, who has conversed with the Empe- Tor upon the subject says;
 His Majesty speaks of the whole as some- thng grave and important; and adds that if there be some phenomena in all this for which he can conceive a cause, there are others for which he cannot by any possibility account The Emperor told this gentleman before twen-
 y people at the Tuileries, that Mr. Hume had caused a hand-bell to cross table, rise up se- yeml inches from the table, and ring in the air. He added that he had, standing alone with Mir. Hume beside large, heavy table, seen the table rise from the floor The Emperor (aEd Empress also) added to these many facts of the same order, all equally strange; and, above all, they seem to speak with some re- Puguance of hand which they both admit to have touched, and which was that of corpsen'

The New Governor of Kansas.

The Following, from the pen of a Washing ton correspondent of the New York Times. is the most fattering portrait of the Hon. Robert J. Walker, the new Governor of Kansas. that we have seen:
 Robert J. Walker the son of Judge Walker one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United StateS-was born in Pennsvlvania and, believe, not far from the home of Mr. Buchanan. He studied law under his own fath CT, and practiced his profession at Pittsburgh. where he married daughter of Franklin Bache. of Philadelphia, and grand slaughter of Ben jamin Franklin. The first nomination of An drew Jackson for the Presidency was made by young Walker, shortly after he was admitted to the bar, at convention of the Penusvlvania democracy. After his emigration to Missis- slpp, he became identified with Texan inde- pendence, but took no leading part in national matters until the declaration of South Carolina ln favor of notification had excited his zeal in behalf of the Union. Then succeeded the famous struggle between himself and Poindex- ter-the right hand of Calhoun in Mississippi. through whom he hoped to gain over that State to the cause of secession, or an unconstitutional States rights extreme. No Mississippan will ever forget that famous canvass, nor ought it to go out of memory of partiots in the north. Whatever may have been the real causes of complaint against Mr. Walker since, he did his duty then manfuly, trumphantly, and in a way winch caused him to take his seat as an equal among the giants who composed the se- natorlal body of that period.
 Walker was first requested by Mr. Polk to enter hls Cabinet as Attorney General that post being deemed most in accordance with his tastes; but subsequent events transferred hlm to the treasury department. He then naugu- rated the Reveuue," as distinguished from the Protection" tariff svstem and drew up and re- ported the tariff of lS46 It was bold mea- sure, reducing duties more than one-half on an average, and that at a time when the country was involved in a war; and in opposition to the views of the commercial moneyed and manu- facturlng classes. On the passage of the bill, Mir. Evans, Senator from Maine, and consider ed the financial leader of the higs, declared, III his place. that the revenue of the next year would not be $l2,0OOOO0 Daniel Webster left memorandum with the clerk of the Se nate, that it would not produce Sl400OCOO- Abbott Lawrence and the banking interests of this city and New England considered the po- Hey as destructive. Walkers recorded esti- mate was that it would give in the first year, S3O0O0,OOO. It gave S29,OOO,OOO and some HuHuiCpo Ol tupuSdHuS, anu Has gone on ln- creasing until it has reached its present prodi- glOus amount.
 Walker is the only cabinet officer who has had his reports reprinted abroad. Sir Robert Peel had them printed for the benefit of the House of Commons, and his is the honor of being the only financial minister eohom tue acoyid has produced who has advanced government stocks, and maintained them above par, during foreign war, and the while it was borrowing money daily.

Fi tIlS uC D' From Greene County.

DEAR kIMBELL-Alow me to give your readers short chapter on the times and sea- sons up here in the north east corner of our State. It is a notorious fact, that we had throughout the State, very severe winter up to February; with us in Greene, February was (mostly) fine, pleasant weather, vegetation sprang up and every thing wore the appear ance of lovely spring; but when March came, We had Gas it werc) winter again, March was unusually cold and dry throughout April came, and with it spring appeared to set in beautifully; yesterday the 4th, we had a cop ous rain, early this morning things changed for the worse, and it was very soon cold enough to snow, 1t has hailed, sleeted and showed, during the entire day, so the fifth of April, 1857, in Northeastern Arkansas, has every appearance Of day in mid winter
 Notwithstanding the unfavorabe appearances Of the spring, our farmers are pushing ahead with business, and are preparing their lands and planting corn, potatoes, and such crops as will bear early planting.
 There Is a spirit manifest in our citizens to commence earlier and push forward more in- dustriously than heretofore, and we most hum ply hope that this wntry day may pass away and be succeeded by one more in accordance with what we look for at this season of the year, and that we shall very soon have spring, with all its loveliness and advantages

this county. His disease was severe and did It's sad work ln two and half days. He leaves wife and several children to mourn after him.
 Col. Jones was gentleman in the broadest acceptatlon of the term, and his death will b. deeply deplored by all who had the pleasure or hls acquaintance; he was plain and unpre- tending Tn his habits, and better heart never warmed the bosom of any one. His memory Will long be cherished by both friends and re- iaHVes' and his many generous deeds will con- tnue to shine as bright and living monuments to his memory. Heaven bless and protect his bereaved widow and fatherless children: they have lost their best earthly friend, one who suffered all the hardships that attend the settler lh new country to make them comfortable. and when he had successfully surmounted all dlf1lcultles and dangers, secured comfortable home for himself and those dear ones around ms hearthstone, death came and cut him off from all those tender ties, which had bound him here so long.
 How uncertain are human calculations. to- day we may be in the prime of manhood, pos- sessed of every necessary to make life pleasant and tomorrow we may be laid low in death.
 Peace and honor to the memory of our dear departed friend W.DM

Lovers in a Fix-Singular Scene at a
 Wedding.

The Dandridge (Tenn.,) Statesman announ- ces the marriage of Mr. Ben. Husky, to Miss Susanna Parker, both of Sevier county We learn from the Statesman that tlCo expectant bridegrooms were in attendance, at the "aus- p.cous hour," each elate with the prospects of duplicating their existence. It seems that the fair decelver had so wound herself into the affections of the two, that when "popprg' time came round, she was unable to resist, so urgent were they in their glorious cause. Ac- cording to time set, both gentlemen were at the appointed place, both anticipating the brilliant "good time coming" with apparent coolness- The squire announced his readiness to tie the desired knot by Head your partner out on the hoor," and to the aStonShment of the assem- bled lookers-on, two grooms advanced with eagerness to grasp the fair hand of the cruel hearted and bewitching creature After a some- what animated discussion, the two frustrated and almost prostrated aspirants to matrimonial honors concluded to let the lady make choice, if one she should effect, between the two which she soon accomplished, and was married to the one she most admired Verify, the course of true love will never run smooth
 "Phancy the pheelngs" of the dsconsolate, outraged lover, who turned his steps home ward, with his license in his pocket-and his adored in the arms of his rival. Happy Ben Husky.

For the True Democrat. WE HAD BEEN FRIENDS.

Ne had been friends long years ago,
 Uber sunshine danced upon my way,
 And pleasure, with her golden glow,
 Frightened all objects iu her ray.
 Within the festive halls of mirth
 We stood together, side by side,
 0r by homc's sacred social hearth,
 Where hearts to hearts their joys confde. Trusting with confidence this love. Ius Which bloomed when summernowers were rom, dreamed not winters storm could move The warm and friendly tie that bound us. But now, since sorrows blight has dimmed The luster of those by-gone days, And grief her bitter cup has brimmed With blighted hopes and gloomy lays No longer comes the friend of vore.

She died as blossoms die"
= ] A FRIEND

= A FRIEND
 At the residence of her husband, near Dar- danelle, on the 24th of March, 1857, Mrs. MARTHA s. RAYBURN, aged about 38 years leaving kind and provident husband and eight atfectonate and weeping children to mourn their irreparable loss.
 It is with feelings of deep sorrow, that the au- thor of this humble tribute to the memory of the deceased, is called upon to communicate the sad intelligence of the death of member of this community, so amiable, so kind and affectionate as to be universally esteemed and beloved by all who knew her. In her death society has lost one of its brightest ornaments, and the gloom which this melancholy event has cast over our community is an unmistaka- ble evidence of the high appreciation in which she was held.
 The deceased was native of Steward coun- ty, Tennessee, where those early lessons of piety, and all that was necessary or calculated to adorn her in the future walks of life were taught her in childhood; and which she so cul- tivated as to render them the distinguishing traits of her noble and generous character.- Her death has caused vacuum in our commu- nity which will not be easily filled. But she is gone. She has paid the last great debt of nature, and is now resting in the cold but quiet repose of death. Her mortal remains are de- posted beneath the verdure of land, far dis tant from, but not alien to that where rest the remains of her fathers, but among apeople who will long love to cherish her memory, and who cannot refrain from minging their tears of sor- row with those of her kindred, in the loss of her whom they so highly esteemed-but whilst we mourn, and feel stricken with sorrow over her early death, we have cause to hope that she is reaping the rich rewards of bissful im- mortality.
