A Companionable woman is al
ways pretty. Beauty catches fools
even if it has no sense with it; but
good sense without beauty, and with
a sweet spirit, always wins respect,
admiration, and love. "She looks
well until she speaks" is often whis-
pered among men in the very atmos-
phere Of beauty.

IRON CAsTINGs.-It is surprising
how little attention has been paid 70
the use of cast-iron for fine castings
of every description, not even excep-
ting statues, and such like works of
art. 1t is the cheapest of metals, and
will stand exposure to the weather for
ages with a coating of oil. Why then
is it not more employed for such pur-
poses9 Why should it not take the
place, at least, in a measure, ofbronze,
which is so %expensivel Is it owing to
anything in its nature whereby it can
not receive a clear impression from
the mould in which it is cast No.
There is no metal superior to it for
receiving a good impression from the
mould. Cast iron expands in becom.
ing solid, and therefore takes the i'm.
preston of the mould with exactness.
Its point of fusion is 3479 deg. Fab.
"a very high temperature-and this
is one great objection to its use for
casting statues and such works. With
care and attention and proper molds,
however, we are of opinion that iron
castings may be vastly improved, and
very fine works of art executed. We
are but on the threshold of iron cast
ings as an art. Our iron mOlders
have a boundless field before them for
the exercise oftaste, skill and genius.

KANSAS.

The following is an extract from the Herald Of
Freedom the leading organ of the free State party
of Kansas, which is published at Lawrence in that
Territory. The article from which this extract is
taken, appears in its issue of the Esd of May and
is throughout yielding of the point that Kansas
will be o slave State.
We are fully satisfied that the "powers that be-
have resolved to form a State Constitution which
shall be silent the question of slavery. They ex-
pect 10 organize under that Constitution and send up
two Senators and one Representative; and they ex-
pect to secure seats in the next Congress. National
Democrats of course, they CW secure seats, and the
question will be settled for all time. proslayery
legislature viii legalze the institution of slavery
and make the holding of slaves as it now does in
some of the southern States, the qualification of
voter The institution is fixed, the people are dis
franchsed and the question is permanently settled.
The Republican party may triumph in 1860, but the
question is beyond the reach Of politicians True,
a new set of men, may get into Office but the one
hundred and thirty thousand square miles of Kansas
is doomed to the bondman's LASH and the last hope
of freedom has expired

Political fanaticism (says the Warrington Union, J
has two leading efeots-teWit; 1t paralyses the ae-
tivity and energy of the people, and poisons and
diminishes their happiness. The crusade of fanat-
ical know nothingism has seriously retarted the
growth and business Of many places where their in
stincts have had full sway Louisville is striking
illustration of this The know nothing demonstra-
ton drove from the city its thousands of the indus
trious producing classes, many of them carrying
with them very respectable capitals 1t lost large
portion of business, and everything paralyzed.
Wherever know nothingsm has secured foothold a
paralytic effect has been produced and the baromo-
ter of human happiness has sunk in a corresponding
degree. The same consequences have followed tn 9
footsteps of republicanism." Not one foot of
America has been made happier by its fanaticism,
while millions of our citizens have been made I'M
happy by its paralyzing and dreaded effects. Kansas
has been its greatest victim. Her people were ar
rayed by it in hostile deathbloWs extending to We
men and children. Her fields were neglected and
starvation stared them in the face. In many parts
of the country industry gave place 10 fanatical
sades sowing the seeds Of bitterness and strife where
kindness and friendship had long dwelt. In hun
dreds of places the formal worship of God was made
the vehicle of propagating political fanatioism.-
Those who had no taste for such dissertation were
compelled to listen or leave churches where they had
hoped to serve God in peace and quiet during their
lives. The continued denunciatioR Of the Union,
and assaults upon the characters of the people in
nearly half of the States of the oonfederacy. The
blighting effects were everywhere apparent last year.
and especially in this city, where everything depends
upon its continuation and prosperity. The defeat
and prostration of these two modern fanatcism has
revived the hopes of our citizens everywhere, and
industry has assumed its woned activity and happy
effects. The i'll and uncharitable feeling which they
called into existence will soon subside, and give
place to others dictated by the preceps of holy
religion and practiced by those who practically IL
lusrate them by blameless Christian lives. We
shall rejoice TO see things fully restored to the
full and happy condition which existed before fanat
icism opened its gates and flooded the land with
necessary evils. We think returning sense of the
relations of to his fellowman will soon relieve
us from the evils which their non-observanoe has
lately visited upon viii any lover of his
try and fellow-man hereafter assist or countenanoe
fanaticism in any Of its forms?

his arguments, while his eloquence attracts and his

has failed to convince.
