ton to homesrun poem BY the editor:
II Is related that box of seidlitz powders
was once taken by the khan Of Tartary, from
an English traveller, who was obliged to give
directions for the use of his plundered pro-
pertY, which, unfortunately, was obeyed 20
the letter. One day his Tartaric majesty
thought he would test the refreshing qualities
Of this novel beverage, for his taste had wearied
Of his native sherhets, cooled with snow from
the glacier-capred mountain peaks OF Gen.
trail Asia. Accordingly, by special firman, he
sighiied his imperial desire for strange drink
of the Giaour, and the box Of seidltz powders
was brought from the treasury, and the pre-
paration of the draught confded to the grand
mixer Of the royal sherbets. This functionary
Of most skillful Accomplishment l., the COM
pound Of simples or Of chemicals, dissolved
the contents of the twelve blue papers in one
goblet of jeweled gold, and those of the twelve
white papers in another, and, after proclaim
ing to the courtiers 10 veil their faces, for the
Son OF the Prophet was about to drink, upon
his knees, with averted face, the grand mixer
presented the two doses to his monarch, who
drank first the one and Immediately the other.
An efervescence at once ensued in the imper-
ial stomach, which disseminated his anointed
person throughout the realm in fragments more
infnitesimal than the PARTICLES of sweet ordor
from the musk-pouch of the small deer Of
Thibet. This tragic event is Supposed to be
commemorated in the gorgeous versifcation of
an oriental cotemporarv Of HAITI, the Persian
king of song, in poem where fact, nomen-
elature, photography, topography and ehrono-
logy yield readily to the exigencies of verse.
Unfortunately, We have no room for the en-
tire sspoem," but our readers will see in the
following stan7as, which describe the grand
catastrophe ample evidence Of the power of
the poet and the prescription:
twas in that hour the strange Glaour,
And his powders recollected,
And he had them Mixed and properly fixed
And drank them as directed
The alkali with many sigh,
Adown his throat he poured;
And the acid next his taste perplexed,
Until he almost roared;
He roared in fact, when, In contact,
The powders came within;
And GHEysIs KHAN at once began
To see he'd been stock In -
Amoment more, and the powders tore
From out their narrow bound
And the KHAN exploded like khannon loaded,
But with more dreadful soundi
His head few high, towards the sky,
His limbs were scattered round!
And his body sent like a rocket went
Where Il never could be found
30 died the KHAN OF Ispahan--
Death strangely came to his release.
And his epitaph, too long by half
HE died Ia pieces'--not In peace!

The election of Simon Cameron as U.

pill for Buchananism. The Harrisburg
Telegraph publishes the following letter
of Mr.. Buchanan, which was sent to the
Capitol to weigh in favor of Mr. Forney:
''As my position on the subject of
electing Uni led States Senator may b.
misunderstood. [ beg you to say to my
friends that Col. John w. Forney, in my
opinion, will best serve my administration
of all those named, and will feel compli-
mented and obliged for the votes of my
friends in his favor for that office. Mr..
Robbins. Mr.. Black and SO on, are very
fair men, but Col. Forney's claims are
far superior to those of all others.

COLUMBUS, Jan. Is, 1857.


COLUMBUS. Jan. Is, 1857.
Mr.. Griswold, from the Judiciary Com
mittee in the Senate, reported an amend
ment to the bill regulating salaries. pro
viding that Judges of the Supreme Court
shall receive So. 900, aud the Judges OF
Common Pleas $1,000. In districts in
which there may be city of the first
class. the County Commissioners may al
low the Common Pleas Judges an addi-
lional sum, not to exceed $1,000 per an
num, the sum to be added to the levy
of county taxes. The amendment was
agreed TO. Mr.. Brown moved to amend
so as to make the salaries of Supreme
Judges s., 900, and Judges of Common
Pleas S 900. pending which the bill was
laid on the taLle.
The Senate adopted the resolution to
inquire into the expediency of selling th e
interest owned by the State in all Canals.
Railroads, Turnpikes. &C., the Standing
Committee on Public Works to report by
bill or otherwise.
On motion of Mr.. Matthews, it was re-
solved to instruct the Committee on Cur.
rency to inquire into the expediency of a
repeal of all existing statutes prohibiting
the issuing and circulation of unauthori-
zed bank paper.
The Senate adopted joint resolution
to print 1000 extra copies of the Report
of the Investigating Committee on the
Public Works, and 1900 of the Report
on State Buildings and Institutions, by a
vote of 25 to 6, the nays all Democrats,
except Mr.. Taylor, of Mahoning.
During the afternoon session. the bill
fixing the salaries Of Judges pissed the
Senate, yeas 20, nays l3, as follows

MILFORD.
NAYs-Messrs. Beatty, Brown, Buck
land, Burnett, Gardner. Hardy, Hyer
Lawder, Lewis, Lunt, Musgrave. Taylor,
of Geauga, and Warfel-all Republicans
1t is notable fact that all the Dem
ocrats in the Senate voted to increase the
salaries of Judges.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Brown
was defeated, and the bill passed as
amended by the Judiciary Committee,
given above. It's fate in the House is
problematical--the chances however are
against its passage in its present shape
A bill to increase the salaries Of Supreme
Judges alone would be more likely to find
favor in the House. The legal profess
sion has comparatively few representa-
tives in the popular branch, and SO long
as the office of Common Pleas Judge COM
mands the respectable, and in most coun-
Ties the best talent of the bar of both par
ties, the peoples representatives, elect

Among the petitions presented in the
House was one by Mr.. Mygatt, from S.
Starkwe ather, r. Wood and SO others,
for an amendment to the laws for the col
lection of taxes. The amendment de-
sired is the restoration of the former law
