a Box UusBANp.-Ten months ago
a Don Juan OF but seventeen autumns
came to st. Louis from Muscatine,
Iowa, and became enamored OF nice
young lady, the cherished daughter of
highly respected parents, living on Eff
tccnth street, between Wash and Carr
streets. Briefly, he won her, aud they
were married. The months flew swift
ly and happily until a few days since,
when the fond stripllng's pa, arrived
from Muscatinc. The kind parent
tenderly assured his son that he had
probably many years yet to live, and
ought wisely to prepare for a long and
prosperous life. To this end he con
ceived that the period for preparation
for the lifelong battle for competency
and independence should not be vast
ed in domestic cndearments, and he
therefore he felt it his duty to use his
parental authority in insisting that bis
son should return to his native town,
leaving for a few years his chosen, to
learn a trade !! The youth rcmonstrat-
ed but the sire, was memorable. lie
has, therefore, gone home to become a
man, a process which, if VIC mistake
not, will be completed in an unprece
IDENTIFY short period Of time.-.St LouaI

A NOVEL AND VALUABLE INVENTION
Velocity of Electricity Equalled-An ex-
traordinary experiment was exhibited a
few days since with Gomez 4 Miller's new
patented safety fuse. The experiment con
sisted of a length of five hundred yards of
fuse. with cannon attached to either end
one Of them was then fired, and ibe other.
although at such distance, exploded with
out any apparent difference in time The
Inventors state that the great velocity Of
ignition either when passing through air or
water, renders it cheap substitute for the
galvanic battery for many purposes. The
latter is applied to such as exploding mines
rocks, dc. They further state that it pos
sesses two great advantages first it leaves
10 fire behind, and cannot communicate IL
milton to any substance of less combnstible
quality than gunpowder; second, the fuse
is not decorating. consequently cannot be
exploded by blow, which was proved by
striking it with hammer ON ali anvil

How THE PRESIDENT OF THE BANK
OF PENNSYLVANIA KEPT ITS Accounts.
The New Yory Tribune has an in
teres,ing letter from a Philadelphia
correspondent, showing the way in
which Thomas Allibone, the President
of the Bank of Pennsylvania. maua-
ged to hide.his rascality and the banks
insolvency from the Directors. He
saws
Immediately after his departure the
Directors succeeded in ascertaining
the cause OF the ruin. They were
thnnderstruck at the deliberate, SYSTEM
attic, skillful and long continued falsih-
cation of the books and accounts. -
Any Board Of Directors in the world
would have been deceived by the skill
full figuring of this man, even in the
absence 6 that entire confidence
which they placed in his integrity. A
private loan book, kept in the private
desk Of the President, and now first
brought to the Board, reveals astound-
ing facts. Men who never borrowed a
dollar are here charged, as being large
debtors to the bank, Others who had

payment demanded, produce evidence

Why will the Gazette attempt to
mislead ito rcadrsf La yesterdays Is
sue, it endeavors to convey the I'M
preston that slavery will be established
in Kansas, be the vote on the slavery
clause of the proposed Constitution
what it may. Now, it knows or ought
TO know better-that it is expressly
provided ia the schedule that IF Il ma
jortty of the potes cast at tie etcctton be
an )apor Of "the Constitution with no
.Stavery," :then he article froridtng for
siapery shall be str,ken from the Ton
stitut.oa, and NO SLAVERY SHALL EXIST
IN TUE STATE or KANSAS, except that
the right of property in slaves now
this territory shall be in no manner in
terfered with, That is, as far as Con
vention could go, for surely it had no
power to deprive the owners OF slaves
now in the territory of their property.
There are not more than one hundred
slaves in the Territory, and to claim
that that hundred will fasten slavery on
kansas-cven if the people determine
at the election, THAT no SLAVERY SHALL
EXIST" is to utter nonsense, Of which
even the Gazette should be ashamed.
At the meeting of the frat legislature
under the Constitution, a bill for COM
pensated emonci patton may be intro
duccd to which there will be no OBJ
lection.
With regard 10 the statement that
the constitution cannot be changed
until 1864, we have only to say that
snch is not the case. Notwithstand-
ing the provision in the schedule, the
people will be justified both by prinei-
pie and precedent for changing the
constitution whenever they see fit
What good motive, then, could the
Gazette have IN attempting to harrass
its readers with the apprehension that
Kansas will inevitably be u slave

Is the largest farmer IN the United
land (ncarlv 400 square miles, III this

plantation contains about 5000 acres,
nearly all valuable bottom lands along

he had over 600 acres III cultivation,
on which he raises annually about 800
bales of cotton worth at the plantation
from SD to 800 per bale, and 2o,-
600 bushels of corn worth about 81, 30

ApyrRTIsErNG.-T has never
been period within our remembrance
when the benefits Of ADVERTISING and
the folly of rctrcnching in this depart
mcnt OF business expenses in dull times
were quite so palpabIe as atpresent.
The most careless observer cannot fail
10 note the difference between the non
advertising and the ADVERTISING stores
AS he passes along Broadway. In the
former there is solitude and silence
i'll the latter, life, activity, and the hum
of bargan-sceking crowds. If there
be merchant wlro doubts the utility
Of challenging public attention through
the newspaper press, let him air his
sccpticism in his establishments which
are in constant communication with
the world Of consumers through this
medium.
81 don't believe in advertiseing," is
the ipse dirt of a mind afflicted with
something approaching to judicial
blindness. Sulky merchants, who mis-
take obstinacy for dignity, and re-
fuse to descend to the courtesy Of tel
ling the public what goods you have to
sell, and what prices You will take for
them, we ask, What are you do
ing' We say, you are sitting IN your
salesrooms, wrapped up in the solitude
Of your own originality, IA free from
profitable intrusion as II each OF you
were mercantile Marius crouching
amid the ruins OF commercial Garth
age. Deny the fact if you can! 1t Is
notorious as the sun. Long headed
firms who keep en- rapport with the
public through the business columns OF
the press, what are yoa doing! 1t IS
unnecessary to "pause for Il reply.
Work.weary salesman and over tasked
cashiers will testify that the pressure
OF cash retail business, created an,
stimulated by wholesale ADVERTISING
beats all the other pres,urcs OF the
day.-N. \. Sunday Times.

Tho Plan Of Operations against the
Mormons.

Tho Plan Of Operations against the
Mormons.
1t il said that the administration
has determined to prosecute the war
against the Mormons with Nigor, and
that California will be the base of iu-
ture military operations against them.
We are inclined TO believe that such
is the fact. Utah is rccessible at all
seasons from California, and by a
route far more pleasant, easy and Sc
cure than the tolsome track across the
plains. Moreover, the administration
desires to prevent Brigham Young
from establishing "thc saints in Son
ora, which he has had in contempla-
ton since the British Government
refused him footing in the British
possessions.
