President Buchanan and Queen Veto
ria's Congratulations-As the publ,
have been anxiously awaiting the arriva
of the messages of congratulation be
tween Queen Victoria and President Buc
hanan, our attentive correspondent ii
Europe has telegraphed us that Queer
Victorias message to Buchanan, was il
the following felicitous language
Dear Jeems.-Shall name the mex,
Prince after you. VIC"
To which our gallant chief magistrate
responded as follows:
Dear Vic.-Thankee mam-sorry
can't return the compliment.
JEEMS BUCHANAN.
On receipt of these important MESA
ges of national amity and friendship, all
the towns in England were illuminated,
and all the maids of waiting on the Queen,
had begun to prepare for the reception of
Prince Jeems. All the reporters Of the
Northern press were so thunderstruck by
the beauty and pathos of the messages,
that they have filled the columns of their
papers with items of rejoicing.
Hon. to Preserve Beauty.-Lola Mon
tes, in one of her lectures, gives the
following recipe:
The habit continues with many ladies
of drying the perspiration from their
faces by "powdering," which is said to
be most " destructive" to the complexion,
as well as cooling off, when heated by
exposure to the sun or dancing, by wash
my in cold water; humor by this
means sometimes extends over the face
which destroys its beauty forever. The
following wash is applied as remedy for
roughness from exposure, and for rigidity
of muscles in the face:
" Mix two parts of white brandy with
one of rosewater, and wash the face with
it night and morning. vssg-ssspssv.sss
The celebrated Madame Vestris pre-,
served the splendor of her complexion to
a very late period of life, by binding up
her face every night in kind of paste, for
which the following is the recipe:
"The whites of four eggs boiled in
half an ounce of alum, half
an ounce of oil of sweet almonds; beat
the whole together until it assumes the
consistence Of paste.
Negro Philanthropy and IT'S Tctim.-
1t is stated, and is doubtless true, that
Tony Burns, the fugitive slave, who
few years ago was obtained in Boston only
at the point of the bayonet, and who was
afterwards purchased and set free, is now
in the Penitentiary of Massachusetts, for
the crime of robbery.
1t should not be forgotten that when
Burns returned to Boston after his liberia
lion, not one among all the negro loving
white saints of the modern Athens would
give the poor fellow employment enough
10 earn his daily bread. And this state of
hings was probably the cause Of his com.
hitting the crime for which he now suffers.
Thus, says the New York News, aboli-
ionists of the North have, in fact, dragged
heir colored "brother" and "eouap'
rom happy Southern home to enioy
MS equality and inalienable rights in a
Northern prison. Amazing humanity to
he negro.
Paraguay Erpedition.-We under
stand, says the Washington States, that
he Dolphin, cambridge, and Perry will |,
,e ordered to join the expedition now fit-
ing out for Paraguay. The Dolphin is
low cruising off the coast of Cuba, the
is on the African station, and
he Perry is with the Brazil SQUADRON
The expedition will thus be DELAYED for
ONE time, in order to await the arrival
# the cambridge and Perry.
1t is thought that the cambridge
Ferry, Dolphin, Fulton, and Harriet
lane, will form large enough squadron
Q enforce our demands upon Paraguay,
hould such course become necessary.
We hear that detachment of only 90
larines will be sent, which, however, is
ardly credible. /
The cambridge, our readers will re-
