RAILROAD FNhScrEErSG.-The dispute be-
tween Mr.. Litchfcld, one Of the lfDancicrs of
the Michigan Southern Railroad, and Mr.. Jcrvis,
another operator in the same line, exhibits
some of the beauties of railroad inanciering.
One of the facts which have leaked out from
this quarrel il the system by which seven mil
lions are added to the debt Of a railroad, aud
only three millions accounted for. The balance

we have every reason to suppose that some

houses, and perfectly satisfactory to the al.
ministration.
Whatever may be the upshot Of this proceed

Congress may do, or may fail TO Dc, the destiny
Of Kansas and her domestic institutions are
fixed and cannot he changed. The overwhelm-

mind Of the country North and South, is thus
satisfied that the question is substantially set

been conceded by all parties, so that while the

EXPENSIVE MISUNDERSTANDING the campaign
Of 1856 there was great disturbance among
the brethren Of the American Tract Society,
chiefly on the slavery question Tho colpor-
teurs of the society, it seems, work chiefly in the
South, and IL was demanded by the Garrisonian
abolitionsts that some tracts should be pub
lished to show to the shareholders the error of
their ways. After a fierce debate, and any
quantity of resolutions and committees, IL was
finally decided that the slavery question should
be avoided altogether and thus the threatened
separation Of the society into Northern and

BONNETS.

OF all the charms dear woman wears,
Of all her many traps and snares,
For real effect there's naught compares
With truly pretty bonnet;
For when or wherever you chance to meet
One that is perfectly modest and neat,
You may depend It's proof complete
That the head has more an than on IL.
No matter whether she's pretty or not,
How much or how little money she's got,
Whether she lives in mansion or cot,
IT'S fact, depend upon it,
The woman to make man happy thro' life,
To make model mother and wife,
Is one who, scorning this milliner strife,
Wears plain and tasteful bonnet
Now bonnet of genuine beauty and grace,
When on the head in its proper place,
Shadowing family the wearer's face,
ais a thing for a song or sonnet"
But one of these gay and gaudy things,
Made up of rainbows and butterfly wings,
A mixture of flowers, ribbons, and strings,
Is dreadful, depend upon it.
No matter where you may chance to be,
No matter how many women you see,
A promiscuous crowd or a certain she,
You may fully depend upon it
That a gem Of the very rarest kind,
A thing most difficult to find,
A pet for which we long have pinned,
Is perfect Glove Of bonnet"

THE New PARIS BoNNETs.-Neary all the
new Paris bonnets are mixture of tue and velvet.
very pretty style is that of spotted white tulle,
with bias pieces of lilac velvet. A piece of lace
comes forward in point the 'front.' four ends
of the lace droop the curtain. lilac feather,
of two shades, decorates the lefhand SIDE and the
two ends of the lace the front under the chin.
Nearly all bonnets have point in the middle Of
the front, and it is generally of lace of ribbon;
for instance, bonnet of tulle blonde, instead of
being decorated all round, is only trimmed at the
sidos the center is formed of broad ribbon, or of
fashion of lace silk, which hangs down in broad
rounds or ends

"THE WRoNG MAID, SIR. "A few days ago a
couple residing in the neighborhood of Bird ge-
stowe, Devon, went to the parish church to be
married The bridegroom instead of taking his
intended bride at the church door and accompany
ing her to the alter, walked thither with the
brides sister, who one Of the bridesmaids
The bride appeared to have thought that her in
tended husband had changed his mind at the last
moment, and she retired into pew in a very de-
jected state of mind. The ceremony proceeded,
and it was not until the clergyman to the i'm
portant question, wilt thou have this woman to
be thy welded wife," that the bridegroom was
conscious of his mistake. He then looked round
the church with astonisment and exclaimed, 'This
is the wrong maid, sir % The right maid was soon
found; the ceremonies was again commenced, and
the right maid was married to the right man, much
to the satisfaction of all parties.
