FoLLOwING FASHION, said a judi
cious fathcr-"Do not imagine, my
daughter, that you are agreeable or at
tractivc, when your person is exposed or
when you aid nature by artificial means.
Two classes of persons may gaze on you,
to be sure the immoral and licentious
with a familiarity, the rejecting and
serious with sadness. Will you consent
to such scrutiny? Follow the fashion
no farther than fashion follows propri-
ty. Never let your mantuarmaker die

The Lalc DcfaIcatiOn where
Did the Money 60 TO!

The Louisville Courier, in an interest
ing article upon the late defalcation,
says:
The people of Ohio are wondering
what has become Of their money. They
have appointed committees Of ihvestiga-
ton, who have looked with Argus eyes
over the books and in the vaults of the
Treasury, but have found no money
They nave talked a great deal, and writ
ten more, but still the money don't turn
up. 1t is possible that only two of the
sons of the much-injured State can tell
where the money has gone. These arc
John G. Brcslin and his brothcr-in-law
William III. Gibson. We have no doubt
that these two gentlemen can tell all
about the matter of the deficiency in the
Treasury, il they wish. But if they
won't tell, there is but one way, in our
opinion, to find out. 1t is this:
y committee must be appointed to
make Investigations outside of the books
and vaults Of the Treasury. 1t would
be we'll to examine the books of all the
faro banks in the vicinity of Columbus,
and learn how much money has been
left there on deposit. The card-tables
must also be examined to find out how
much the game of draw-poker has drawn
from the Treasury. They must not fail
to inquire CT Gregory & Co. how many
prizes have been drawn from the Trea-
sury by the different lottery oficcs.-
They must go to the Land Offices of the
far West and determine how much I'm
Gle Sam himself has taken from the
Treasury of Ohio, to pay for the public
lands he has sold. And they must not
fail to examine the Stock Exchanges,
and determine how much has been in
vested in the commodities of trade there
dealt in.
But while the committee are on the
subject Of stocks, they must not fail tc
look into the stocks of the Underground
Railroad. One of the Treasurcrs of the
State belongs to the Black Republican
party, and is a great friend Of the Tn.
deground Railroad enterprise.

s3g- The Legislature OF South Carolina, at

the circulation of printed or engraved paper
resembling bank notes. While merchants
cards ARE very handsomely aud attractively

fact that ignorant persons are often imposed

,JH" Minnesota is about to take the inita-
tory steps for admission into the Union rs a
State, through its delegate, Mr.. Rice. 1t is
estimated that a census to determine the
number Of representatives, to which she would
be entitled, If now taken, would show a
population of nearly or quite two hundred
thousand, and that, by the time it shall be
taken it will amount to number sufficient TO
give this Aourshng territory a right to at
least three representatives. In 1860 ii is
estimated that the population will have be-
come half a million, and that, even with the
highest probable ratio of representation, she
will be entitled to four representatives.
