AN AMERICAN IN LoNDoN.-The North
American Review tells the following good
story:
A countryman of ours, of somewhat rude
appearance, walking in the Strand early in
May, saw his favorite dish of strawberries
and cream blushing al him from the counter
offs restaurant. Entering, he carelessly call
ed for bowl, to the marked surprise of sew
eral persons present, who knew the extrava.
gauce of the luxury, and rightly presumed
the American was ignorant at what cost he
was putting himself. ...
He had not finished his repast, before the
curious looks of the company suggested his
mistake, and aroused all his latent pride.
"Whst is to pay?" he inquired, as he
laid down, his dish, not without lowering
look at the wise-acres, who waited for his
chap-fallen aspect when the victualler's re-
ply should fall upon his waiting ear.

A FAR WEsr EDITORIAL SANCTUM.-

A FAR WEST EDITORIAL SANcTUM.-
The Kansas correspondent of the Richmond
Enquirer, in recent letter to that paper,
thus describes the sanctum of the editor OF
the Weekly Herald, printed in LeaVenworth
city, at the time he made visit:
1t will not be amiss here to give you a
sketch of the Office as presented to the eye
of stranger from Louisiana: GA visit to
the printing Office afforded rich treat. On
entering the first room, on the right hand
three law "shingles" were on the door; on
one side was rich bed-French blankets,
sheets, table cloths, shirts, cloaks and rugs,
all together; on the wall hung hams, maps,
venison and rich engravings, onions, por-
traits and boots; on the floor were a side of
bacon, carved to the bone, corn and potatoes,
stationary and books; on nice dressing
case stood a wooden tray, half full of dough,
while crockery occupied the professional desk.
In the room on the left-the sapctum-the
house wife, cook and editor lived in glorious
unity-one person. He was seated on q
stool, with paper before him on piece Of
plank, writing a vigorous knock-down to an
article in the Kiokapoo Pioneer, a paper OF
q rival city. The cooking stove was at his

OFFICE HUNTING.-AnA American citizen
would certainly deem it "a foul dishonor to
have it said of him that he was fed and
clothed by the munifcence of the State
that he was burthen crowded upon public
living; that being too lazy and thriftless to
earn his bread otherwise, he has been gra.
ciously permitted to do chores in the public
Offices Of the Government, for which he was
to receive not more than the average of what
men earn at the common trades of the country.
The highminded American freeman ought
to feel indignant at such imputations; yet
such is the precise position in which the ma
jority Of Office beggars place themselves, in
their rage for place. Shame upon their
noble heritage! They are the most pitiful
paupers in the land.-Spirit of ihe Age.

Little Rock and Napoleon's road; Cairo and
Fulton road; 'Memphis and Little Rock
road; Iron Mountain road, &c., the impor-
tance of all, which, to the sections through
which they pass is incalculable. Enterpri-
sing men also, are now at their head, whose
character, if any evidence but their impera-
tive necessity were needed, would be sufi-
cient guarantee of their speedy completion.
The growth of Arkansas, for long time
after it became State, even, was very slow
it is now, however, making ample amends for
the dilateriousness of days happily gone by.
The last two years the wealth and population
of many counties have nearly doubled. AT
one land Office alone, that of Batesville, no
less than 256,000 acres have been entered
the last twelve months, and, for the most
part, by industrious, euterprising and per-
manent citizens. Other portions of the State
also, are settling up with equal rapidity. A
few years, and Arkansas will be one of the
wealthiest and most populous States Of the
Federal Union.

vey better idea of what is contemplated than
any description or explanation your Committee
could give.
Your Committee have done all in their power
toward ths66stahlishment Of this organ, and it
now remains 10 be seen whether the Temperance
men of the State will do their duty in sustaining

selves and the State, of on indispensable auxiliary
to the permanent establishment Of our principles.

TRUE GREATNEss.-Chief Justice Mar
shall was in the habit of going to market
himself and carrying home his purchases
Frequently he would be seen returning at
sunrise, with poultry in one hand and vege-
tables in the other. On one occasion fash
ionable young man from the North, who had
recently removed to Richmond, was swear
ing violently because he could get no one to
carry home his turkey.
Marshall stepped up, and, asking him
where he lived, said:
"That is on my way-I will take it for
you"
When they came to the house, the young
man said:
"What shall I pay you9"
O! nothing" said the Chief Justice, cit
was on my way, and no trouble"
"Who is that polite old gentleman who
brought home my turkey for me ?'' inquired
the young man of bystander.
"That," replied he, "is John Marshall,
Chief Justice of the United States" .
"Why did he bring home my turkey%
"To give you severe reprimand, and to
teach you to attend to your own business"
was the reply.
True greatness never feels itself above do
ing anything that is useful but especially
the truly great man will never feel above
helping himself.
