ANoTHER JOHN DEAN AFFAiR.-The
pleasant society of the pleasant City Of
Beloit, WIS.,, was put out of its propriety
on Thursday last, by the intelligence that
a daughter of Mr.. Pierson, one of the pro-
prietors of the Bushnell House-a very
pretty Cir, aged only l4-had eloped with
a porter and coachman of the house, named
Henry Lantz, better known in BeloIt as
g Dutch Henry" They left on the train
for Evansville at the silent hour of 80 a.
m. Mr.. Pierson followed them to James
vile in buggy, but they had already left
on the Milwaukee train. He Immediately
autographed to the police of Milwaukee to
stop them at all hazards, and like. dis
patch was forwarded to this city. Lsmtz
had $50 in money with him, and Miss Pier
son was entirely destitute. Lantz had been
discharged the day previous for his atten-
tons to her. This deplorable affair has
of course created general Indignation in
Beloit.- Chicago Press.

AN UNM1rIGATED OUrRAGE.-Some
loafers in Beoit, treated Lantz, the Ger
man who eloped with Elder Persons
daughter, with coat of tar and feathers.
It was an neutrality-suspicious. disgrace
to Beloit and its citizens. Mr.. Lantz had
as much right to elope With wealthy
mans daughter as wealthy mems sons have
to seduce poor girls !; yet those very men who
thus treated poor Lantz, would applaud

The Statesman's Delusion and Death

A fatal delusion has seemed to cafne over
ever, incumbent of, and aspirant for the
Presidency. Tyler was elected a whig,
sou ght to propitiate Southern De'hocfa.
Icy. and is now a by-word. Fillmore was
elected as whig, abandotied the Moth
for the South for the sake of re-nomina-
ton, and was totally ignored by those
whom he had served. Wsbster tarhshed
the fame of the nation by his OF en- subser-
viency to the South, which he had crawl
ed in the dust TO propitiate, abandoned
him in scorn Pierce was elected on fair
promises, because of the slave power, and
was kicked out CT the nominating conz
vention by that very power. With all
these experiences before him, Buchanan is
travelling the same well beaten road
His betrayal of the North 10 the South
has lost hun all his Northern strong holds.
Ard dow tile South is beginning to com
out for Douglas. Several papers in LOUIS
lana and Georgia are out for him. A
Democratic Member of Congress from
Ge6Fgia, has written letter to his con stit-
uents endorsing Senat>r Douglas and ex-
pressing the opinion that the President
and his Secretary might be better employ
ed than in endeavoring to break down the
author Of the Kansas and Nebraska Poll.

The HgRMITAGE.-A gentleman who
has just visited the Hermitage, the resi-
dsuce of Gen. Jackson, thus writes Of what
he saw there:
"Prominent among curiosities was a
wooden pitcher. 1t was made Of wood
from the elm tree under which William
Penn made the celebrated slndian treaty.
The pitcher was made and presented by
the coopers Of Philadelphia, and although
it is not larger than common cream-jug,
contains $50 slaves. The hoops, lip and
handle are silver; the bottom is a magni-
flying glass, by looking through which one
is enabled to see the joints, which are mol
visible to the naked eye. We will next no.
tice odd Hickory This is double cup
that is, two cups with one bottom, so
that when one is turned up the other is
turned down. 1t is, as its name implies,
of hickory, and what is moro singular about
it. has natural handle. 1t is simply a
block about one foot in length, with both
ends following, and was cut on Long Is
land from a hickory sprout, the parent
stem of which was severed by cannon ball
in the war of the Revolution.
The next things we will mention are a
calumet of stone presented by some Indian
chief; bayopet, with large root growth
around it, found near the battle ground be-
low New Orleans; the cup and saucer ont
of which Gen. Washington drank bis last
tea, and small piece of candle found in
| the tent of Lord CORVALLIS when he sur
rendered to Gen. Washington, and closed
the Revolutionary struggle. The last
named article was given to Gen. Jackson
with the request that he would light it on
each Fourth of July. Mrs. Jackson remark
ed that they had failed to do this for sew
eral years, owing to its shortness."

sWoMEN ARE NATURAL ORArcRs.--An
enthusiastic tribute to the eloquence of wo-
man occurs In a work recently published
on the art Of public speaking:
Women naturally speak better than
men. They express themselves more easily,
more vividily;& with more arch simplicity,
because they feel rapidly, more delicate
ly. Hence the loquacity for which they
are reproached, and which is an effect of
their constitution and temperament. =
Hence there are SO many women who write
in an admirable and remarkable manner,
although they have studied neither rhetor-
ic nor logic, and even without knowing
grammar or orthography. They write as
they speak, and they speak pretty much as
the birds sing, and their language has the
same charm Add to this the sweetness
of their organs. the iexibility Of their voice,
and the variety Of their intonations, accor
ding to the feeling which animates them
the nobility of the physiognomy, which
greatly increases the effect Of words, the
picturesquenes of their gestures, and il
short, the gracefulness of their whole ex-
terror, thus, although not destined for ora
tors by their sex or social position, they
have all the power of the orator, and al
his success in their sphere, and in the cir
Gle Of their activity; for none know better
how to touch, persuade, and influence
which, I think, is the end and PIE. fectior
! of eloanence.

WETHERELE's PATENT HORSE Hoe
Last week we had an opportunity of see
ing Wetherell's Patent Horse Hoe opera
ting, and were much gratifed by the man
fer in which it performed Its work. The
pril pie upon which it acts is quite differ
ent frolu' that of any other agricultural
implement with which we are acquainted,
and it thoroughly destroys all weeds with
which it comes in contact 'fhe soil is
left loose, and sufficiently hoed up around
the plants. Several of our most intelli-
gent Farmers saw it operate, in different
soils and all were h ghly pleased. L:
does something more than merely change
the location of Jumps, state of things
that often occurs with cultivators and .plo@s
of every sort when the soil is baked as at
present. 1t breaks these Jumps in pieces
leaving the land in fine pulverizea con
di.ion. In hoeing with this machine, it
is only necessary to pass once between
swo rows, and as it hoes one side Of two
rows at the same time, the farmer is ena-
bled 70 give thorough hoeing to as ma
ny acres as the horse can pass over in q
day thus reducing from three-ffths tc
nine tenths the expense of cultivation as
carried out by the old method.
The machine is but little heavier th an
