REMARKABLE INSTANCES OF HERoIsiM.--
The Rev. Mr. Scudder, ef India, in letter
to the Christian Intellige.cer. gives the fol-
lowing Instances of heIoiim called forth by
the Indian mutinies;
"Let Americans never b ashamed that
Englishmen are their forehthers. England
is a noble country. Her sots are heroes and
her daughters are heroines. This rebellion
has brought out deeds that deserve TO be
associated with those valorou, actions which
we, with throbbing pulses, reaa in history
In one place lady and her husband fled in
their carriage. He stood upright. She took
the reins She lashed the horses through
band Of mrtineers, while he, with cool aim,
shot dead one who seized the horses heads
and another who climbed upon the carriage
behind to cut him down. On they iied till
again they found themselves among foes,
and rope stretched across the road made
further progress appear impossible. True to
herself she dashed the horses at full speed
against the rope, and as they. hearing
down stumbled, she by rein and whip, raised
them, while her husbands weapons again
freed ihem from those who succeeded IN
leaping on them. He was wounded out
both escaped with their lives. In another
place young lady, the daughter ofan officer,
shot seven mutineers before they killed her.
A captain pressed by the Sepoys with his
good sword slew twenty-six of them before
he fell"

The WAY TO GET ON IN THE WORLp.-To
get on in this world, you must be content to
be always stopping where you are; to nd
vance you mus. keep down; following rich
es is like following wild geese, and you
must crawl after both on your belly; the min
ute you pop your head up, off they 60 whist
ling before the wind, and you see no more
of them. lfyou haven't the art of sticking by
nature, you must acquire It by art; put n
couple of pounds of brimlne upon your
office stool, and sit down on it; get chain
round your leg, and tie yourself to your
counter like pair Of shop scissors; nail your.
self up against the wall of your place of busi-
ness like weasel on barn door, or the
sign Of the spread eagle; or, what will do
best of all, marry poor honest girl with
out penny, and my life for yours If you
don't do business. Never mind what your
relatives say about genius, talent, learning,
pushing, enterprise, and such stuff; when
they come advising you for your good, stick
up to them for the loan Of an eagle and you
will never see them on your side of The
street again. To do any good we :ell you
over and over again you must be a sticker.
You may get fat upoa rock IL you never
quit your hold Of IL.

BURIED TREASURE COMING TO LIeHT.-
The Peninsular (Del) News says" The
people of the lower part of Sussex continue
to pick up silver coins along the coast. A
friend informs us that, according to the best
information he can collect, there have been
from eight to nine thousand dollars collected
altogether. The coin dates as far down as
l7ls, and is in circulation all over Baltimore
Hundred. The prevailing opinion is that il
is the money which was buried by Gibbs and
Walmsley, the two notorious pirates, who,
after conviction, confessed that they buried
money in the sand in that neighborhood."

MEETING OF CoTToS PLAsTERs.-The
Holly Springs (Nfississippi) Herald gives no.
tice of meeting of the cotton planters of
Marshall county to stake such steps as may
seem best in regard to the monetary derange-
ments throughout the country, and the con.
sequent reduction OF the price Of cotton, re-
sulting alone from such financial derange-
ment." The Herald remarks that "there is
no cause for such a state Of things; and II
the planters, will store their cotton-bags I'm.
der their own cotton-sheds, and withhold it
from market for few weeks, the gold and
silver will be shpp' d by tens of millions Of
dollars from every important port in Europe"

HEALTH IN YouTH.-I.ate hours, rregu-
lar habits, and want of attention to diet are
common errors with most young men, and
those gradually, and at first imperceptibly,
undermine the health, and lay the foundation
for various forms of disease in after life
1t is a very difficult thing to make young
people believe this. Indeed nearly all the
shattered constitutions with which too many
are cursed are the result Of disregard to
the plainest precepts Of health in early
life.

VALUE OF RAIL ROADS.

From an able and extended article on Rail
roads we extract the following from the Pa
Enquirer" r."
A thousand points might be stated, caleu
lated to prove their advantages; but on the
present occasion, We will contine ourselves
TO a few.
They carry the mails of the United States
with certainty and celebrity never anticipa-
ted in oIden times. Nor do they allow mail
robbers to stop the cars and bear away the
letters.
They transport the soldiers Of the Republic
with all the munitions Of war, at all times
cheaply and expediiiousy. During the war
of 1912, a barrel of -four at Buffalo cost $40
in consequence of the almost !mpassable
roads thther, and the snail-ike travel OF the
horse and wagon line.
They have enhanced the value OF lands
greatly in the middle and eastern sections o:
the Union, and in the almost boundless West,
the value of the territory is nearly II not quite
quadrupled by them.
They have enlarged our commerce between
the several States immensely. In fact they
NAV be said 20 have taken up whole cities
Win Inelf hlu1Osb COuueOos 'hh"o's"hs't W.
etly, as if by magic, and have set them down
in close proximity to other flou'ishing ci-
ties.
They protect our seaboard from the assault
of a foreign enemy, as they can upon the fash
of the telegraph notify the whole West If any
foe should threaten to land upon our soil,
and thus hurry down TO the point Of attack
innumerable men aud arms to drive back the
assailants.
They may be said to stand instead Of forts.
For no nation would think of venturing to
land, with such swift and prompt lines of rail-
roads to pour down our forces upon them
almost instdntaneousiy.
It is now conceded by all rejecting men,
that il a railroad had been in existence be-
tween Philadelphia and Washington the Brit
ish would never have made an assault upon
the capital of our country.
Our railroads are therefore wall of de-
fence, and may be pronounced the Preserpers
of The Peace of our Republic. .,..
Our vast country can only be trdpersed 6y
railroads. They have become an institution
and cannot be abandoned. Let US, therefore,
support them with liberal if not generous,
hand.

A Short Lie.-The last session of the
last Congress passed a new Tariff, which
went into operation on the lst day OF July
fastLnot four months ago. 1t is par ereel-
lence democratic free trade tariff. Yet the
Wilmington Journal is already anticipating
and calling for its revision and amendment
at the ensuing session. "Some OF its parts
are erroneous in principle, others are faulty
in detail" says the Journal. We agree 70
this, but doubt whether revision and amend
meut will reach the root of eyil.---Raleigh
Register. h
Lending journals throughout the country
we mean those that support the Old Wing
party and some others are now urging The
necessity of a protective tariff and National
Bank. The recent financial, crisis, as remarks
the Baltimore Patriot, seems to have clearly
indicated the importance Of these great mea-
sures. Democracy with its free trade and
sub.treasury has been in power for twenty
years, and the long experiment has resulted
in general bankruptcy, deprecated curren-
cy, hard times, no employment for industrial
classes, interruption to commercial pursuits
and misery throughout the whole county
Such are the consequences. Will the peo-
pie of the country submit! We think the
next three years hence will answer this ques-
ton at the ballo. box, in language not to be
misunderstood. Already as in ls4l, we hear
the cry of Change" from all quarters.

WORTH KSowING.-The following simple
mode of examining well, to ascertain
whether it contains any offensive substance,
has been recommended as efficient: "Place
common mirror over the well in such apo
sition as to throw the rays Of the sun to the
bottom ofthe well, which will be immedia-
tely illuminated in such manner that the
smallest pebbles, etc, at the bottom, may be
easily seen, as fin the hand. The sun is
in the best situation to be reflected in the
morning or afternoon of the day."

or externally, or both.

AS WE EXPECTED.
- A. pf.A.a xxrA -

Now that the banks have all suspended
in consequence of the misrule with which tn
country has been so long cursed, we agail
hear the cry of specie currency, just as w
did twenty years ago, when the same system
had produced the same results. Foremos
among those who raise this yell, is the Presi
dents Philadelphia organ, the Press, editeC
BY John w. Forney, from which we infs
that we are to expect neither comfort no
relief from the White House, and that tn,
President will insist upon pursuing his policy
"in spite of lamentations here or elsewhere,
| as his ''iIlustrious predecessor"-Mr. Var
Buren-did before him.
The organ has broken ground upon this
subject, and in ore week all the others may
be expected TO join their voices. In a few
weeks we shall have the message of the
President, and he will re echo what the or.
gan has already uttered.
The opening article of the Press is singu-
larly cool in its assumptions. II differs, il
tells US, from its contemporaries, with regard
10 the origin of the present troubles. They
attribute it to tan obsolete theory" the want

PHILosoPHY.-A man loses his wife; this
is great fact, he brings philosophy to his
aid; he drops few tears, is reconciled to
the "heavy dispepsation Of Providence" and
takes another rib, much younger and pret-
tier than the lady whom he has lost. A
young gentleman loses his respectable father,
whose industry, probity and thrift rendered
him a marked man on change. The son
rears handsome gravestone to the memory
of his lamented sire, then calls philosophy
to his aid, dries his tears, and touches flOO,-
900, which has decended to him from his
worthy parent. Great is philosophy.

ANOTHER DUEL.-The N. Orleans Crescent
learns that a duel was fought one day early
in last week, about ten miles from Algiers,

grazed the leg of the other, at the first fire;
after which followed an amicable adjustment
of the difficulty. The difficulty is said 70
have been trivial in its character--one only
marrying the wife of the other during his alb
sence ia distant lands--a mistake owing al
together to the supposed death of the alb
