IL
AQUEER LErrER-The following letter
(says the Buffalo RepnJlic,) was handed
TO US by the agent for lost baggage, con
Dected with one Of our western railroads
1t will be observed that the writer is very
communicative, aud occasionally religious:
"PEoR1A, ILL, July 10. ls56.-DEAR Sir:
Do you remember A person speaking to
you on the Sd July concerning 2 trunks and
A box that had gone out Of the way or l
suppose they went right and went wrong
they might have stopt at Rochester, any
how IhaVe not heard any thing about them
and l write to you hopeing you will be A
friend to- me this time for l am poor and
very much in need Of THERE contents we ar
rived safe in this city on the I but we are
with out any thing to change in now if you
will be A friend to me and try TO find them
you will do me A very great favor aud If l
ever can pay you for your trouble ! will l
know what l can do can pray for your
soul salvation which if saved will be worth
more than ten thousand worlds like this
my fears about them is that those rough fsl-
lows that heard me give you the directions
of the trunks could and would go and Came
them the man that drove me in the cab to
the boat took to me to be Of A very mean
Caracter and think if they came as far as
Buffalo or suspension bridge that some Of
those loafers that were standing around and
heard what l said they could get them now
l hope sir you will have search made for
THERE recovery and l will pray god that he
will bless you as be has blessed me for when
l was SHINING he loved me aud called me
ont frem the world to serve him l think
and believe that the Lord will not let them
go unpunishsd that will wrong me out Of
those things there is A large family Bible
in one of them that has our birthe aud death
besides other memerandums but god d-m
the sun of b-h that steals my goods
Dear Sire lost A dear Child about 4 years
ago aged 9 years aud her physicians did not
understand her therefore it was deemed
necessary to have her opened accordingly
it was done and her Physicians rote out A
description of her complantes and it is in
that bible now l have another little girl
aged years that is falling rapidly with
same disease and IL l had that peace ol
paper that is in that bible it would be worth
a great deal to me it would give A Doctor
an idea how to treat her case.

Always Finding Fault.

There are certain people who cannot live
without finding fault. No matter what
subject, or person, comes up in the course Of
conversation, they start some frivolous OBJ
lection or make some censorious remark
Instead of trying to be in charity with their
neighbors, they take malicious pleasure in
speaking evil about them They obstinate.
ly shut their eyes to good qualities, while
they employ microscopes to discover and
magnify evil ones; and afterwards they tor.
ture language to exaggerate what they
have seen, so as to depreciate as much as
possible They do not, however, always
speak out boldly But they deal in inuen-
does, in hints, and in ominous shakes of the
head. Instead of frankly assailing in
front, they assassinate behind the back
Practically, they persuade others that all
men are so evil, that there is not even q
chance of reform. Even in acts incontest.
IDLY good, they pretend to find latent self.
ishness. They spend their lives in dcfiling
human nature, like the foul Yahoos whom
the satrest has deprecated. To believe
them, there are mono virtuous but them
selves; and the rest Of mankind being
knaves, brutes or devils.
The proverbial fault finder little thinks
that, in censuring so maliciously and indis-
criminntely, he is only painting his own
portrait. 1t is secret consciousness of
his demerits, a gnawing rage at the snpe-
riority of others, which is the real cause of
his want of charity, the principal induce
ment to his abuse His own heart is the
mirror from which he describes mankind.
The best men have been those invariably
who spoke the most kindly of their race.
The great type of all manhood, whose per-
feet humanity is the admiration even of
Pagans and Atheists, ever spoke in benig.
nant terms having charity even for "publi-
cans and sinners" 1t is 10 his precept
that we owe the great doctrine of human
brotherhood. In the idea of the fallen
Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, the in
carnation Of malice, hate, SANDER, ill-wiIl
and evil speaking. As the one is said to
have come to bring peace and will to
men," SO the other first defled the fair Gre
alton with strife and sowed "war among
the hosts of heaven" We never hear
professed fanlt-fnder, but our thoughts re-
cur to bis type. We never listen to the
benefccnt language of one who is in char
ity with his race, without feeling that he
is advantageous and more to the perfect
man."

Card FROM JOSEPH G. McKIBBIN.-We
have already published an account of the
shooting Of a man named Isaac Craig by
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Joseph G. McKib-
bin, in consequence Of an outrage commit.
ted by Craig on McKibbiu's sister, a deaf
mute. A card is published in the Philadel-
Phia Press by McKibbin, in which he says:
Il feel no necessity for Justification
Had l killed him under any circumstances,
Or in any way, it would be no atonement
for the past. l dc not think myself justi-
liable in risking my life as did in order to
take his. II every son Of my father had
combined to destroy him, there is not an
honest heart that would not say the prov
OcatiOn was more than sufficient. Ny self
respect-that is more to me than any pub
lie Opinion-fully, entirely acquits me in all
that | have done"
Mr.. McKibbin has lived in California
several years, and is now member Of Con
gress elect from that State.

ENGLISH WEALrH.-Some of our New
York Fifth Avenue swelIs make very re-
spectacle attempts to do the "palatial" in
their houses and style of living, and put
forth ambitious efforts to initiate the Eng
lsh country seats, in the possession of what
the English would call Snug box" on the
Hudson river, and ten, twenty, or hun
dred acres. An account before us, Of the
luxurious style Of living among the English
aristocracy, throws our parvenu pretenders
considerably into the shade.
About sixty miles from London is the es.
tate of the Earl of Spencer, which com
prses ten thousand acres, divided into
parks, meadows, pastures, woods and gar.
dens. His library contains fifty thousand
volumes, and is said to be the finest private
library in the world
The Duke Of Richmond's home farm con.
Sists Of twenty-three thousand acres, OF
over thirty.fve square miles, and this in
crowded England, which has in all an area
of only $4,000 square miles, or just thirty
two millions Of acres, giving, were the land
divided, but two acres to each inhabitant
The residence of the Duke is fitted up with
oriental magnifcence. Twenty-Five race
horses stand in his stables, each under the
care Of special groom. The dishes and
plate upon the table are all Of porcelain,
silver aud gold. His aviary is supplied
with almost every variety of rare and ele-
giant birds, and large herds Of cattle, sheep
and deer, are spread over the immense
lawns.
The same authority from which we gath,
er these facts, says that the Duke Of Dew
onshire's palace, at Chatswortb excels ia
magnifcence any other of the kingdom
He spends the whole of his enormous in.
come In the grounds about the house are
kept four hundred head of cattle and four
teen hundred deer. The kitchen garden
contains twelve acres, and is filed with al
most every species of fruit and vegetables
A vast db0retHm connected with this estab
lishment is designed to contain sample oi
every tree that grows. There is also O
glass conservatory, 381 feet in length, IlZ
feet in breadth, 81 in height, covered by
10000 square feet of glass, and warmed
by seven miles Of pipe, conveying hot wa
ter. One plant was obtained by a speca
messenger, and is valued at $4,000. One
of the fountains, near the house, plays 27C
feet high, said to be the highest Jet in the
world. Chatsworth contains $500 acres
but the Duke owns ninety-six THOUSAND
acres in the county Of Derbyshire. Within
the entire is one vast scene of paintings

GEN. JAcKsoN's TouEr-The general
temper of President Buchanan, his easy,
pleasant manners and racy conversation,
have always rendered him a great favorite
in society abroad as well as at home, and
few of our public men have laid up such a
stock of amusing and valuable reminiscent
ces. There is one anecdote which he tells
of Gen jackson, which is so characteristic
of the old hero that it is worth preserving
The president relates that one day during
the administration of Old Hickory, he went
to the White House to ask permission to
present TO him the celebrated Miss Betsy
Cation. General Jackson readily assented,
and named the next day for the interview
At the appointed hour Mr.. Buchanan re-
paired with bis fair charge to the PrcSiden-
tail mansion, and leaving the lady in one Of
the drawing rooms he mounted to the pr-
vate cabinet of the President. To his
great surprise and disappointment, he found
the General buried in his books and papers
and attircd in Rfain morning dress, his
chin unshaved and his favorite pipe in his
mouth. The Senator from Pennsylvania
was grievously embarrassed. He was ap-
prehensive that if he announced Miss Ca
tons presence the gallant veteran would
descend all in negHge as he was Mr. Buch-
anan did not like to expose the renowned
belle to such shock as that, and, on the
other hand, he equally dreaded offering a
suggestion on the subject to tho fiery old
War-horse. There was no alternative, how.
ever, and he had to state that Miss Cation
was waiting the Generals presence in the
green drawing room. Up jumped Old
Hickory at the first word and laid down
his pipe. There was not moment 10 be
lost, so Mr.. Buchanan, in timid and apol
ogetic manner, ventured to observe that
"the lady could very well wait till the Pres
ident had shaved himself" The General
saw what he was driving at, and shook his
frizzly head at him like the name of an en-
ragged lion. Buchanan" thundered out
the impeiuous old man, "did you ever hear
of the man in Kentucky who got rich by
mindiug his own businessp Without stop
ping to say whetheFhe was acquainted with
the remarkable individual in question or
not, the experienced Senator fed from the
storm aud took refuge with his lovely com
panion down stairs. In few minutes af-
forwards the hero of New Orleans entered
the room with that dignity Of manner which
no man knew better how to assume; and
great was Mr.. Buchanan's relief to find
that not only was his face quite virginia. in
its Smoothness, but that he was got up in
his best black suit, with boots of faultless
radiance.
