END OF WOMAN

The celebrated Lady Hamilton was
distinguished almost above every other
of her age for personal beauty. Her
accomplishments were scarcely inferior
to her beauty. She was skillful in u
sic and painting, she had exquisite taste,
Eand her features would express every
emotion by turns. The only occasion
on which Bedford, of Fonthill Abbey,
threw open his splendid mansion to
company was when Lady Hamilton
along with Lord Nelson visited it. All
that the wealth Of the wealthy owner
could furnish was provided to give SPLEEN
dor to the scene. The grounds were
illuminated by lamps and torches, and
the interior Of the apartments was a
blaze of jewelry, gold and silver. Spic-
ed wine and confectionery in golden
baskets were handed round to the com
pany. y numerous party was assem-
bled, and Lady Hamilton shone the en-
w Of them ali. Attired in a rich cos
tune, she entered with a golden urn in
her hands, and rccited some verses,
which the company was far too polite
not TO applaud, spoken as they were by
one who had such influence over the
hero of the hour. No mrn was there to
tell her that all this was deception, that
sin surely carried its own punishment
with it, and that the pleasure she WAS
enjoying was but 4 shadow!
Thirteen years after the banquet at
Fonthill had taken place, a lady buying
soma meat for her dog at a butchers
stall in Calais, was thus accosted by the
butchers wife-"Ah, madam, you seem
a benevolent lady, and up stairs there is
a poor English woman who would be
glad for the smallest piece of meat which
you are buying for your dog" Who
was the grateful recipient of such hum
BILE aims? Alas it was the beautiful
Lady Hamilton After the death of
Lord Nelson, deserted by those who had
fawned upon her in prosperity, she grad
ually became impoverished, and died in
a wretched lodge at Calais. Her prop
erty consisted only of a few pawn-bro-
ker's duplicates. Her body was put in
to a common deadlock, without any in
scription; and over the praised of states
man, warriors, poets, and artists, the fu.
neral service was read by an officer OF
half-pay. She was the end of the beau
tifuI Lady Hamilton.

Fs. PAYNE.

The Democratic State Convention of
Ohio have made a most excellent NOM
nation for Governor in the person Of
this gentleman. The selection is fully
ana entirely in accordance with the pop
u!ar sentiment Of the Democracy of
Ohio, as manifested in meetings held
previous to the Convention.
Mr.. Payne is a resident of Cleveland,
and for many years has enjoyed a high
position among the able and popular
men of the State. His political fidelity
is unquestionable, and his private char
acter pure and spotless. He is emphat-
icallya new man, in the political sense,
having never before been Il candidate
for a State Office, or known as a seeker
after patronage or place. He has been
Mayor of Cleveland, and has had other
high and local honors bestowed upon
him by his neighbors, although 4 ma
jority are opposed to him in politics.
He is a fine and eloquent speaker, is
in the prime of life, and is Just the man,
in every respect, to bear the Democrat
ic standard in triumph through the
State at the next election. He will re-
ccive an immense vote on the Western
Reserve, and will beat Salmon p. Chase
badly in the contest, if the Democracy
will only come up to the work with that
spirit and vigor which are in in accord
ance with the present Indications.

nG@ Nothing better illustrates the
~proclivities of the Republican party of
Ohio on questions Of banking, than he
constitutional amendments relating %
corporations, which the Republican leg
~islature Of last winter caused to be sub
mitted to the people at the next State
election. This amendment is spccious
i'll its tendency, and to the casual read
or, may appear harmless. But it is in
fact designed to do away with all the
safeguards of the new constitution on
this subject. Corporations for banking
can be now formed only under general
laws.
The amendment allows special legis-
lat;on at the discretion of the lcgisla-
turc. If adopted the exception Will be-
come,thc rule, and we shall be cursed
with even a worse system of banking
than That which is now saddled upon ~.
1t will be well for the people at a time
when our State is suffering so deeply
from its connection with the banks to
look into this matter, and defeat the
nicely laid scheme of the Kelly bank
ers, who appear to have more complete
control over the Republican politicians
than they had 9 over The old Wing
party Of Ohio.-IJtedo CJH1.

Extract from the last AnnuaI Message OF
Coz. Medtll, Jan. So
GA practice is said to have grown up
in many of the large towns, of Banks
and Brokers paying interest on depos-
its. The State surely has no objections
to this when confined to the transactions
of private individuals. But it is also
charged that these establishments some
times become the repositories of public
officers, and that large sums are realized
by spccutattng upon the money Of the peo-
pie. These representations may have
their origin in MERE SUSPICION, but
they have called forth a feeling of dis
satisfaction and alarm, that can only be
aflayed by the adoption of such meas
ures as will prevent the possibility OF
SO dangerous a practice. The present
statues are defective in this particular:
and require revision. The public mo.
ney should be guarded with the utmost
care, and all application of it, crccpt 70,
the purposes for a0hic4 1t cas- raised.
should be strictly prohibited by law.
