Ky, at the meeting of the Presbyterian Gene

thus describes an interview he had with Mr..
Fillmore at Buffalo:
On Monday morning, before leaving the city,

and lis estimable and honored occupant. whom

the bay of Naples. AS | entered his library, |

totle in an ancient Atlas. | find that much of
his time is taken up in literary researches-for
which his late extended tour has given him an
increasing zest. | was exceedingly interested
in many things he stated which ordinary tour
lists do not see, some Of which might advert to
without breach of the laws of social proprie-
ty.
Mr.. F., being lawyer, directed his attention
to the modes of administering justice in the
courts of the continent. In Paris he obtained

tors are not allowed there in the court room, Is
in our country. The counsel has nothing TO do
with the examination of witnesses; this Is done
by the Judge; they may barely suggest inqui-
rles, but cannot ask single question. Little
children testify without being sworn. Though
they now have the trial by the jury, they know
nothing OF the " habeas corpus" so advantage
ousy and fully enjoyed in England and America
Mr.. f. remarked that he never so appreciated
Its value as he has since his visit to this cont.

pOtism still bear their original and cruel fea.

Mr.. +. tne opportunity OF seeing large

For he who sleeps on thy solemn sands
Vas worthy kingy grave!
Not en- the battle plain
The noble Hero died,
Whete The war-cOud sweeps, in its crimson :ain.
And Stern baitaliOns ride.
Not on the velvet turf
'rhey made his henored grave,
But he sank meath the moan oGthc cold white surf,
And the rush of the midniPht wave
His ocean tomb is bright
With the glow of burning sands,
Where the trembling wave casts emerald light
On the gold of distant lands!
A cry for the lost at sea
Goes up from hearth and hall.
But he who died a; his fearful post
Was the noblest Of them ALL

PELEeRAM.-This word, now used by the
principal English papers, is attracting atten-
ton. The Albany Evening Journal claims to
have employed it first, about five years ogo-
but being an American suggestion, it met with
no favor. AS the London Times, however, has
seen ht to endorse il, we shall all probably fol-
low suit. 1t is certainly convenience to
write telegram, instead Of photographic dis
patch," although the word has rather an odd
look to the eye and an odd sound to the ear
AS to the composition Of the word, it is the
same as that of "telegraph," but the meaning
of the1atter is settled as referring to the in
strument, and MOTTO the product. sl.tc

Tuesday Seward bet Gibbs five dollars that he
did not dare to start bare headed and in his

the block IN eight minutes. Gibbs took up the
bet and propelled. Seward followed after, and
by starting cry Of stop thief undertook to get
Gibbs dragged to the station house, and thus
win the bet by stratagem. 1t was no 90,

What Young Hen Want.

The keen satirlst Of society's little sins, vani-
ties, Stiffness The hearty humorls, whose mIrIh
sets us laughing n the midst OF depression,
and whose unaffecting pathos moves us to tears
when we are least in the melting moud-the
big-hearied man, who can wiring his successful
political adyersary's hand, wishing him good
luck and plenty of frieDds-to wit: William
Makepeace Thackeray-never put his pen on
paper to better purpose than when he wrote
these wise words:
alt Is better for you 10 pass an evening once
or twice week in u lady's drawing room even
though the conversation is rather slow, and you
know the girls songs by heart, than in a club,
tavern, or in the pit of a theatre. All amuse-
ments Of youth, to which woman are not admit
ted, are deleterlOus IN their nature. All men
who avoid female society have dull percep-
tions, and are studied or have stupid or gross
tastes, and revolt against what is pure. Your
club swaggerers, WHO are sucking the butts OF
billiard cues all night, call female society in
slpld. Beauty has no charms for a blind man ;
music does not please poor beast, who does
not know one tune from another; and as a true
epicure is hardly ever tired of water-anchovy
and brown bread and butter, protest, can sit
Knight talking to we'll regulated, kindly
woman, about her girl coming out, or her boy
ut Eaton, and like the evenings enterta inmenl.
One Of the great benefits man derives from wo-
mans society is, that he is bound to be respect
ful to them. The habit is Of very great good
to your moral men. Depend upon it, Our
education makes US the most eminently selfish
men in the world We fight for ourselves, we
yawn for ourselves, we light our pipes and say
we will not go out, and prefer ourselves and
our ease {; and the greatest good that comes tc
man from woman's society is that he has tc
think OF somebody besides himself, to whom he
is bound to be constantly attentive and respect
full. ) ri tl'i ~:

A FUNSY INcrDESr.- Owing to the embar.

the running of the trains is sometimes attended

to the managers for keeping them moving
North Wrentham is q wood and watering sta

same process, But heengine must have wood,
aud when it arrived from Blackstone this morn
ing, load was waiting, and was hastily thrown
on to the tender without being cut. To have
stopped TO have it sawed would have been to
place it at tue tender mercies of creditors. So
woodsawyer was taken on board of the en-
gine, and he piled his saw vigorously all the
lwry to Boston. The sight was comical one.
The monster which the, woodsawyer had un.

WHENCE STRYcHININE Is PRODUCED.-The
source from whence the poison, which has
gained so world wide celebrity recently, is
thus noticed in Dickens Household Words:
| In Ceylon and several districts of India grows
a moderate sized tree, with thick shining leaves
and short, crooked stem. In the fruit season
it is readily recognized by its rich orange col
ored berries. about as large as golden pppins.
The rind is hard and smooth, and covers a
white, soft pulp, the favorile food ofmany kinds
of BIRDS within which are the fiat, round seeds,
not an inch in diameter, ash gray in color; aud
covered with very sllkey hairs. The Germans
fancy they can discover a resemblance in them
to gray eyes and call them crows eyes, but the
likeness is purely imaginary.
The tree is the strychnne nuC UOmiCd, and
the nut is the deadly poison nut. The latter
was early used as a medicine by the lIlndoOS,
and its nature and properties understood by
Oriental doctors long before it was known to
foreign nations. "Dog killer" and fish scale"
are two of its Arabic names. 1t is stated that
at present the natives of IIndostan often take
1T for many months continuously, in much the
same manner as opium eaters cat opium
They commence with taking the eight OF u nut
day, and gradually increase their allowance
to an entire nut, which would be about twenty
grains. If they eat directly before or after
food, no unpleasant effects are produced; but
ifthey neglect this precaution, spasms result.
MATERIALS FOR A SHORT RoMANCE.-A let
ter from friend informs us of the marriage al
Baltimore of two Of the rescued from the " Cen
trail America" Both parties became mutually
attached to one another on board the steamer
and on the very evening preceding the disas-
ter sealed their affection with the usual " VOW"
When the gale came and the panic was at its
height the young lady threw herself in his
aims, and with a gallantry quite becoming the
romantic occasion, the gentleman impressed
her brow with one Of Tennyson's patent" soul
sCnt' kisses, and slid her ever INTO the first
boat that was lowered. He sa we'd himself on
plank. Upon arriving at Norork the LAYERS
met. But the young man appeared strange u
lie had lost his valise and all his money. The
young lady assured him that money was moth

looked sad, as much as to say-"naw maybe
yOu think so." But, said his devoted one, |
