The PANAMA RAnRoAD.-A late lumber
of the New York Commercial remarks as fol-
lows upon the business concerns Of this road:
1t is said that Of the passengers that went
out in Philadelphia, and those that will leave
in the Star of the West, the Panama Rail
road Company have booked nearly twelve
hundred for transit over their road. The
receipts for August show an increase Of $24,
000 over the same month last year, notwith-
stundng a heavy business was done in that
month. The traffic of the road during the
the whole of the present year has been tie
largest of any former period-the freight
business especially being immense and taxing
the full resources of the company.

weekly publication of the kind now issued in this
country, and it has very extensive circulation
in all the States of the Union. 1t is not as some

on technical science: on the contrary it so deals
with the great events going on in the scientific,
mechanical and industrial worlds, as to please and
instruct every one. If the Mechanic or Artizan
wishes to know the best machine to use, or how
to make any substance employed in his business
if the Housewife wishes to get recipe for making
good color, &c.-if the Inventor wishes to know
what is going on in the way of improvcmepts-if
the Manufacturer wishes to keep posted with the
times, and to employ the best facilities in his bust
ness-if tie Man of Leisure and Study wishes to
keep himself familiar with the progress made in
the chemical laboratory, or in the construction of
telegraphs. steamships, railroads. reapers mowers,
and thousand other machines and appliances,

LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

Many persons are under wrong impress
sions in regard to the law concerning
newspapers. For their special benefit we
publish the following:
l. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered as
wishing to continue their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their newspapers from the post office to
which they are directed, they are held
responsible until they have settled the bills
and ordered them discontinued.
8. If subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publishers, and the
newspapers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible. ..---....
4. The Courts have decided that refusing g
to take newspapers from the office, or
removing and leaving them uncalled for,
prima tacie evidence of intentional fraud.
7. The United States Courts have also
repeatedly decided that Postmaster who
neglects to perform his duty Of giving
reasonable notice, as required by the Post
Office Department of the neglect ola person
to take from the office, he wspapers addressed
to him, renders the Postmaster liable to the
publisher for the subscription price.

JEFFERSON AND ADAMS.

Mr.. jefferson had the rare good fortune
not only to steer clear of those painful mis-
understandings which occurred between
Adams and Franklin, but to steer clear of
the jealousy of either party. This was easy
enough, if not q matter of course, as far rs
Franklin was concerned. But to remain on
terms Of confidential intercourse and warm
friendship with him, and at the same time
with the impetuous and always (when irri-
tated) morbidIy jealous Mr.. Adams. was
an achievement requiring tact and good
sense. Itwas readily undertaken, however,
by Jefferson, for the COLOSSUS of Indepen-
dence,'' always, i'm spite of foibles and fol-
lies, held high place in his respect, and
warm place in his affections. This wise
and proper effort completely succeeded.
Adams's early attachment for jefferson
ripened and deepened. More scrupulous
regard to the rights. more geutlemanly con-
sderution for tn. feelings of a colleague
and associate. were never exhibited, than
Mr.. Adams uniformly exhibited towards
Jefferson during their common stay in
France. and throughout ali their subse-
quent intercourse as co-embassadors. In
deed, toward jefferson. Adaras always
with few unfortunate exception or twol
seems to US to have laid aside the imperi-
BUSINESS. the pugnacity. the dogmatism, and
the jealousy of his nature and to have ex
hibited the same beautiful traits that he uni
formly did in his domestic circle. No finer
passage occurs in his personal history. than
his habitual treatment of Jefferson, and it
serves to show how this lion, gener-
ally rampant, could be the lamb, she was
CONSIDERABLY dealt with, and some little,
grains of allowance made for his foibles.
Adams treated jefferson like a younger
brother-the next younger and near his
own age. Jefferson, as much from reAl
feeling as from tact, took the younger
brothers place. He always asked Mrs
Adams opinion first. always urged him to
take the post of honor. He felt that this
was due to Mr.. Adams's seniority in years
and public services. This unusual modesty
melted the stormy New England chief.

COMMODORE PAULDING.

The New York Journal of Commerce
justifes Commodore Paulding in his seizure
Of Walker thus:
at is certain that, had Commodore
Paulding refused or hesitatcd to act as he
did, the commander of the British squadron
at GreytooOn acould haze taken the militia
tire, and used forcible means, if necessary,
to compel Walker to surrender and quit
the territory of Nicaragua. In this emer-
gency, we think that the Commodore exer-
cisod wise discretion in taking the steps
he did, even at the risk of technically in
vading the sovereignty of Nicaragua. 1t
is far better that he should have made the
fillibusters prisoners, than that British of
ever steps were TO be taken on this Cont
nent to preserve peace and order, and pre-
vent outrage, should be taken by american
o6fcers, under the American flag"
Another exchange says:
Com. Paulding comes honestly by his
skill in arresting unlawful expeditions.-
His father was that celebrated John Paul
ding, the Peekskill farmer, who was one of
the captors of Major Andre. Hiram was
born in Washington county, n. Y, and
in early life entered the Navy, where he
has gradually worked his way up through
the grades of Midshipman, Lieutenant,
Commander and Captain. He has ever been
one of the most efficient and valued officers
in the service; and government short time
since showed its appreciation of the fact by
appointing BIN to the command of the
Home Squadron, which he now holds"

DOES ONES STYLE OF WALKING
INDICATE HIS CHARACTER +?

Fowler says that those whose motions
are awkward, yet easy, possess much eff
cheney and positiveness of character, yet
lack polish; and just in proportion as they
become refined in mind, will their mode of
carriage correspondingly improve. A
short and quick step indicates brisk and
active, but rather contracted mind. where
as those who take long steps, generally have
long heads; yet if their steps be slow, they
will make comparatively little progress.
while those whose steps are long and quick,
will accomplish proportionately much, and
pass most of their competitors on the high
way of life. Their heads and plans. too,
will partakc of the same far reaching char
who sluf or draw their heels, drag and
drawl in everything; while those who walk
with springing, bounding step. alb ound
in mental snap and spriug. Those whose
walk is mincing, affected and artificial,
rarely. if ever, accomplish much; whereas
those who walk carelesSly, that is, natural
ly, are just what they appear to be, and put
on nothing for outside show. Those who
in walking, roll from side to side, lack direct
ness of character. aud side every way, ac-
cording to circumstances; whereas those
who take a bee Ine-that is, whose body
moves neither to the right nor left, but
straight forward-have a corresponding di-
rectness of purpose. and oneness of charac-
ter; those also who tOtter up and down
when they walk, rising all inch sr two eve
ry step, will have many corresponding ups
and downs in life, because of their irregu-
Iarity of character and feeling. Those,
too, who make great ado in walking, will
make much needless parade in every thing
else, and hence spend great amount of
useless steam in all they undertake, yet ae-
complish little; whereas these who walk
easily. or cxpend little strength walking.
will accomplish great results with little
strength. both mentally and phy ysicaliy.-
In short every individual has his own Pc
culiar mcde Of moving, which exactly &C
cords with his mental character; SO that,
so far as you can see such modes, you can
decipher such outline of character.
