The Universal Agricultural Exhibi-
ton, which was to have taken place in France
next June, has been indefinitely postponed.
The original .Wampum-belt presented
by the Indian chiefs to William Penn, has
been presented to the Pennsylvania Histori-
cal Society by Mr. Glanville J. Penn.
DIR. Bernhisel, the Delegate from Utah,
denies the truth of the discreditable state
ments concerning that Territory, and says
they emanate from enemies who have ever
been striving to foment difficulties between
the Mormons and the General Government.
"A sweet country home-with roses
and honey-suckles trained to climb over it;
with good taste, intelligence and beauty with
in; toll enough to court acquaintance with
books and flowers, and the loveliness of ma
ture; with peace, plenty, and love-oh Oh!
oh boys, catch me;-don't you see I'm
fainting?
In Philadelphia there are no less than
nine medical schools, FIVE of them being ir-
regular. Fifteen hundred studentsare claim
ed by the nine collectively as being the at
tendance this winter. Of these the Jeffer-
son College is said to have 500; the old
University School 400; Pennsylvania COL
lege $50; and the Philadelphia 100.
Il writer in Harper's Magazine says
the Holy City is now less than thirty days
from New York. Such is the power Of
steam. The route is thus: New York to
Liverpool, eleven days; Liverpool to Mar
seilles, four days; Marseilles to Alexandra,
eight; one day of rest, two days more to
Jaffa, and two days on horseback to the
gates of Jerusalem.
Boy with ragged trowsers and rimless

"A man who gave his name as D. D.
Thompson, of Philadelphia, arrived at Char
lotte, N. c., last week, and commenced tam.
pering with the slaves. The citizens beco-
ming convinced that he was an abolitionist,
aroused him from his slumbers at an early
hour the morning after his arrival, by that
appropriate old tune, s'three little pigs and
a short legged SOW" sometimes known as
the rogue's march, and escorted him to the
North Carolina Railroad Depot, where he
was put on board the cars, and requested not
to show his ugly phiz in Charlotte again.
- Two remarkable facts are to be noted
in respect to the advancement of the whites.
The first is, that the quail, unknown to the
Indian, makes its first approximation
whence no man knows-when the white
man plows and plants fields, afording an a
bundance of delicious food to the pioneers.
The second fact is, the honey bee is not
found in the country while in possession of
the Indians. 1t keeps just in advance OF the
advancing wave of civilization. When the
Indians see swarms of these new visitors
their wise men sadly acknowledge that it is
time for them to abandon their pleasant hunt
ing grounds and the graves Of their fathers
and seek new homes.
- The editors of the New York Courier |
and Enquirer have been shown sample of
Sea Island cotton, taken from bale sold in
Charleston, South Carolina, at l35 cents per
pound, probably the highest price paid in
twenty years. The factors who sold this bale
are confident that it is the finest bale of cotton
that has ever crossed the Atlantic. The
planter (of Edisto, South Carolina took
the medal in the London Exhibition of 1851,
and the prize bale, though it spun yarn up
to No. 900, is believed to be inferior to this.
This bale was picked out by the lady of the
planter with her own hands, and it is mar
vel the perfection to which sh. has brought
the staple. 1t is to 60 to Havre.
South Carolina is the most Democrat
ic State in the Union The Democratic ma
jority is so overwhelming that there has not
been a contest in the State for Governor,
member of Congress, or any other prominent
position for many years, on party grounds.
One would naturally suppose, therefore, that
of all people in the world the South Caro-
linians would be the most ravenous for the
spells of ofice-if there were any truth in
the charges of Know Nothipgism against
the Democracy. Such, however, is not the
case. 1t is stated that there were but four
ofice-seekers in Washington city from South
Carolina, among the thousands who had gone
thither on pilgrimage 4th March, Instant
This fact is honorable to the State of South |
Carolina and to the Democracy ofthe South.
