Marshal canrobert and crinoline.

at the ball at the Tuileries, the progress
of crinoline was impeded By eyerJ possible
means. Doors were blocked up now Snd
then by large party of malicious gazers;;
who suddenly broke away with great hustle
and fracds whenever lady attempted Co
pass, leaving the passage totally frees as
if 10 hint that the whole space was not too
much for her crinoline-to the utter confu-
sion of the lady, who, in more cases than
one, beat retreat, unable to bear the atten-
ton thus drawn upon her. Canrobert's
bon mot upon this subject is recorded with
great gusto. One of the numerous assail-
ants of his heart, the Marquis de T.
had been watching, with evident anxiety,
his approach across the ballroom, towards
where she was seated. Her emotion became
visible as he drew near, and she spread out
even to a greater extent the already exorbi-
tant skirt of her dress, which, with the aid
of bouffaus, flowers, crinolne, and founees,
filed the whole of the benehs burying be-
meath its ample folds two or three of her less
reselute neighhofs on either side. After a
few of those little minauderies for which
the Marquise is remarkable, and one or two
killing glances into the Generals face, see
ing that his attention was attracted TO her
toilet, she exclaimed with an affected lisp:
s'Well, Marshal, what do you think of my
dress, tonight
Madame returned Canrobert, with a
a smile of gallantry, as he surveyed, with
an approving nod, its vast expanse. 81 can
not but admire it, for it recalls to nv mind
the dearest soaUenir of my soul.''
ssIndeedl'' exclaimed the Marquise, her
countenance Frightening, and her eyes ex-
pressing at the same time all the varied emo
tions of hope, delight and surprise to which
the remark had given rise: "and how SOP"
why, it reminded me, the moment l en-
tered the room, both In extent and shape, of
my tent in the Crimear' returned the Mar
shal with the most impertubable sang .troid,
while the lady, vexed and ashamed, drew

and the Marshal, with polite bow, with

ENlPORIA, KANZAs, SEPTEMBER 26, 1851.

.tThere Is little doubt in my mind that any
person who has small piece of land may
manufacture his own molasses, and perhaps
sugar.
s,If cultivated on so small scale as not
to warrant the expense of erecting the roll
ers for expressing the juice from the cane,
they may be cut up in a straw cutter, and
ground In one of Hickock's portable cider
mills, with such facility that two men could
obtain FIVE or six barrels of the juice per
day by hand, and proportionally more if
horse. or other power is used.
''The juice could be cheaply boiled in one
of the evaporators with which you are ae-
quainted, without burning the syrup or
wasting any fuel.
.sBesides the molasses obtained from the
stalks the leaves viii make good forage, the
seed will nearly equal that of crop of corn
or oats, and the tops viii make brooms.'
In compiling the foregoing information We
have included all that we think necessary for
small experiments in extracting the molasses
from the cane. If the article proves a sue
cess, mills and machinery for the manufac-
ture of sugar viii of course be erected in
the vicinity of its growth, and ingenuity
will soon provide convenience for the farm
er adapted to the amount of his produce.

A Literal Runaway Match.

A capital story is told by Texas paper
of runaway match that came off in that
State. 1t seems that couple had resolved
to get married, Notwithstanding the opposi-
ton of parents and relatives of every degrees
and securing the cooperation of a friendly
clergyman, they all three mounted their
horses and set out for friends mansion
several miles distant, where the rites could
be solemnized without interference. They
had not gone far, however, before their
flight was discovered, and then there was
as much mounting, and racing, and chas-
ing as occurred on the occasion of Young
Lochinvar's" celebrated elopement with the
Netherby maiden. The lovers and their
faithful pastor soon heard the noise of ap-
preaching pursuers and gave their horses
the spur But alas their enemies were
better mounted and gained fast upon them.
1t was evident they would soon be captured,
when a felicitous inspiration of the
maiden came to their aid. Cant you
marry us as we run ?'' she shouted to the
clergyman. The idea "took, and the pastor
at once commenced the ritual. All parties
covered themselves with glory" and just.
as the brides father clutched her bridle-rein,
the clergyman pronounced the lovers man
and wife. When the old gentleman first
learnt what had been done, he was inclined
to be furious; but being gallant old fellow,
and admiring dashing action, he soon
concluded to forgive the runaways, in con-
sideration of the handsome and novel man
ner in which they triumphed over him.

A Good Joke.

William Wells Brown, the colored orator,
who is not so black as some white men,
told a very good story at the Abingdon eel
ebration on Saturday. On steamboat on
Cayuga Lake, the other day, he went to
the breakfast table with the other passen-
GERS. Just as he took his seat, dark col
ored white man called waiter. and asked if
colored persons were admitted to the t:lble
with white folks. The waiter did not know
exactly what to say, so he called the Cap
tain, who, on entering the cabin inquired
who called for him. '..T, sir" said Mr..
Brown, pointing to the dark stranger, II
desire TO know if It is your custom to allow
colored people at the regular table 20 The
Captain replied that no objection had ever
been made before, and seeing the dark white
man evidently annoyed in spirit, appealed
to the generosity of the colored orator, to
allow him to remain. Dir. Brown finally
consented, and at this turn of affairs the
white man, who was so black as to Be pass
ed for negro. left the table IN utter disgust
and unable TO speak his thoughts.-Bostoa

Ladies' ON Horseback.

If there is on earth more fascinating
and bewitching sight than a lovely woman IN
the parlor or boudoir, it is that same lovely
woman-or, in fact any other lovely woman
-on horseback; taking it for granted, of
course, that she knows how to ride, and sits
upon the noble animal, proud of his glorious
burden, like a muse taking an airy stroll
through ether. upon the back of Pegasus,
and not shivering and shrinking at every
step. like wooden doll, fearful of falling TO
pieces. Female equestTianism is one of the
most exquisite luxuries of high ciyiliza-
ton; an exercise IN which every source OF
healthfal and pleasurable emotion Is brought
into play, not only for moment, but m all
the movements and occupations of the body,
and which presents the beWiIdering outline
and undulatine beauty of the female form
in all its raYishing and intoxicating perfec-

Hail Two or Three Feet Deep.

The Waynesburg (Pa-) Messenger says
that a very severe hail storm visited Green
county, near Freeport, last Saturday. The
hail came down in a perfect torrent the
stones varied from the size of partridge to
that of hens egg, and came with such
force, and in such quantities, as to do great
damage to nearly everything in the track of
the storm. Shingle roofs were split to pie
ces, the growing corn was perfectly stripped
of its blades and shoots, the apple trees were
left naked of leaves and barren of fruit, the
buckwheat was entirely destroyed, the forest
trees were left almost as naked as IN mid
winter, and the fruit trees of all kinds were
almost entirely stripped of their foliage and
fruit The fowls which were without shell
ter were killed by the weight and force of
the hail stones. Mr. Dunn exhibited TO us
his hands, which were much bruised and
swollen from the pelting received while en-
gagged in holding his horses. He assured US
that after the storm he had driven through
banks of hail stones from two to three feet

The Assault at st. Paul.

The MinnesOtian of the 26th ult., gives
the following account of Ex-Gov. German S
assault on Mr. Wilson, of Winona:
Yesterday afternoon, while Mr.. Wilson,
of Winona, and Judge Sherburne, of St.
Paul, were quietly discussing proposition
which had been brought before the Com
mittee during the morning session, Mr..
Wilson made the remark, in substance, that
there were gentlemen of the Democratic
side on the Committee with whom he could
interchange opinion freely, and in whose
judgement and opinions he had confidence;
that, however, there were other men in
whose judgement he had little confidence,
or remarks to this effect. 1t was free con-
versation between Judge Sherburne and MIR.
Wilson, but German overheard it, lying on
sofa In reach of where Wilson was sitting,
and Immediately demanded whether he Cor
man) was included in the latter category.
Wilson'S reply was ''most certainly" Cor
man sprang to his feet and struck Wilson in
his sitting position, violent blow over the
head with his heavy gold-headed ebony cane,
shiyering the cane into splinters by the blow
and as Wilson fell from his seat, his assail-
ant attempted to jump upon him to smash
his face and head, but was prevented BY
Col. Aldrich, who seized him by the shoul-
ders. Wilson gathered strength, and get
ting hold of his own cane, was about pay
ing back the cowardly assault, when Cor
man cried out, ''For Gods sake don't lie
him strike me with that cane ~ whereupor
! the culprit was released from Col. Aldrich' S
grasp, and forthwith fed the room.

ssThe Son of an Irish Mechanic"

Tno SOn OF an 1f1Sn mSCnaG1cs
The following notice of the late Senator
Rusk appears in the Troy New York
Budget:
''The nation is now bewailing the loss of
Thomas j. Rusk, a gallant soldier in the
cause of liberty, and statesman of COM
manding influence. He was among the first
of the Texan volunteers to avenge the atroc
ities of the Mexicans upon American citi
zens, and served faithfully through the war
for the independence of the ''Lone Star"
To his wise foresight the victory of San ia
cinto is mainly attributable, and when Hous-
ton was wounded, he it was who counter
manded the order to halt, and cried .'Push
on, boys, push on!'' and they did push on,
with the terrible war cry of retribution,
Remember TIE Alamoi'' AS President of
Texas and its chief Justice, in his advoca-
cy of annexation, and as United States Sen
ator since that event, he occupied COM
manding position, and in every situation
showed himself q true Americda. And yet
his father was a stone mason, and an emf
grant from Ireland, who settled In Pendle-
ton district, South Carolina, upon land be-
longing to John G. Calhoun, where Thomas
]. RIsk was born. Sucha man would have
been prohibited from holding Office were the
know-nothing party in the ascendancy; the
blood of his father would have worked an
attaiHder against MIN, and the country must
have been deprived of his eminent services
This one practical illustration of the folly
and injustice of distinctive Americanism
carries with it stronger argument than any
that ever emanated from the secret lodges,
under the delusiye cry that Americans
must rule America Where in the annals
of our history can we point to a man more
deeply imbued with the spirit of true Amer
icanism than Thomas ]. Rusk, the son of an
Irish mechanic?''
