Thurlow Weeds View of the President

Thurlow Weeds View of the President.
In late number of the Albany EUening
Journal, Thurlow Weed tells what won
derful President we have in Mr.. Buchanan,
in the following words:
s'He entered the White House with a prom
ise of freedom to Kansas on his lips, and a
scheme for enslaving it ii his pocket He
declared war against circulating notes, and
in six weeks was issuing them himself
Before the ink was dry with which be pledg-
ed Economy" he had drained the treasu-
ry of its last dollar. Before the printers
were done stereotyping his infexible deter
mination never to borrow, he was in Wall
street soliciting loan.
He congratulated the country upon the
final end of the slavery agitation, and he
has been agitating it ever since. He order
ed Paulding to stop the flibusters, and then
recalled him for doing it. Walker of Nj
caragua he pronounced an outlaw, and ten
dered him the hospitalities of the White
House. Walker of Kansas he furnished
with written instructions, and turned him
out for obeying them.
He withdrew the troops from Utah, where
he proclaimed there was war, In. order to
keep them in Kansas, where he insisted all
was peace. He sells forts at the West for a
1.-THE of their cost, in order to buy sites at
the East ten times their value-his subor-
dinates in both cases pocketing the differ
ence. He is continually asking for new
steam frigates; but will not use those he has
either on the coast of Africa or in the Gull
of Mexico. He sends out steamer osten-
sibly to catch the Styx, but with private or
ders in the captains desk to do nothing OF
the sort. Claiming to be the most frugal
of Presidents, he has spent more than any
of his predecessors Assuming to be above
party prejudices, he makes partizanship the
basis of his invitations to dinner.'

From London To-nav.

1t is easy to say in cold words that We
received yesterday, or to-day, it may be, a
news message only twelve hours old from
London; but the fact is very hesitatingly
realized. We do not readily seize the full
value OF the fact that we are absolutely in
daily communication with the press, and
the exchange and the business market, and
social life of London. London learns ev-
cry morning what the world has been doing
each day, and In few hours communicates
the intelligence to as. ANY important event
occurring this morning on the European
continent, within reach of the telegraph
lines, we shall be informed of before night.
This is not fact to be looked at, compre-
hended, and set aside in moment. It's
wonder Increases with its continued con-
temptation. What marvellous triumph of
human genius is thist Who shall give ut
terance to the overwhelming emotions that
crowd upon the soul at the almost incon-
ceivable fact that we hold in our hand to-
day message that left the city of Paris
this morning, conveying interesting and
comprehensive intelligence; news from the
center of Europe, and the account OF yes
terday's transactions in the Capitals of
France and England. It takes more than
bare knowledge Of the fact to appreciate this
astonishing achIeyement--Csss. Times.

How a Princes Fall Made Black
smith Rise.

Among other historical obscurities with
which Paris is filed, at this moment may
be quoted Herr Baron C., who, enrich
ed and ennobled by the King of Prussia.
rose from the humblest origin to position
of high consideration in the world. While
the present Prince of Prussia, then an in
fant of some three years of age, was stay
ing at the Palace of Babelsberg, by some
negligence of his nurse he was left alone
for few minutes in an apartment on the
third floor. With the marvellous instinct
of mischief peculiar to children of that
age, the little Prince took immediate adyan-
tage of the absence of the nurse to accom-
plish feat of which he had, doubtless,
been for long time ambitious, and which
consisted in an agreeable walk outside the
window, upon the narrow ledge of the CO.
plng-stone whence be could conveniently
climb up the back of the lion rampant
which supports the entablature of the from
dspiece which adorns the building. A
poor blacksmith s workman, who had been
sent to execute some repairs IN the Palace,
was Just coming up to the garden, and be-
held with horror the situation of the child.
With true presence of mind, he hastened
gently to the spot beneath the window, fol-
lowing every movement of the urchin with
the keenest anxiety, and extending wide
his leather apron as he gazed upward to
watch the first symptom of giddiness which
should occur to the bold little adYenturer.
As the child grew near to the lion the ledge
no longer afforded such firm footing, and
presently, with loud cry, he pitched over,
from that terrific hight, right into-the leath-
er apron of the blacksmith, which sustain
ed the shock without failing. and in another
moment the little Prince was restored, safe
and weli. to his royal parents, who. in to-
ken OF their gratitude, took immediate
charge OF the fortunes of the brave young
workman. and bestowed upon him hand
some pension, with the title of Baron, to both
of which he has done honor during we'll
spent hfe.-Court Journal.

A Nasarite Methodist Camp-Meeting

The Lockport IN. " Courier of recent
date says that acamp meeting of Msthodists
known as Nazarites, was In session at Or
angeport, Niagara county. The Coarisr
says:
These Methodists differ from their breth-
rem in the manner and not in the substance
of religion. They believe in getting excit-
ed, in shouting, and assuming an abnormal
condition of the body, called 1.-The Power"
The attendance of the regular participants
of the camp has been large from the first,
numbering about sixty tents, and averaging
from eight to ten in tent. The visitors
have been numerous each day, and on Sun
day it is estimated that ten thousand visit
ed the ground. Acres and acres surround
ing the camp were covered with teams,
and the grove was filed with the throng of
people-some of whom came out of curl
osity, and many to enjoy the religious ex-
ercises. This crowd added. if possible, to
the fervor of the camp-it was one of the
essential elements to its highest excellence.

The Warrior Queen Killed in India


An Indian letter in the London Times an
nounces the death of the Rance (Queen) of
Jhansi, at the hands of the Brush, before
Gwalior. Though but twenty-three years
of age, she is said to have resembled the
great Russian Catharine in her administra-
tive powers, and upon the death of the late
ruler of Jhansi, was called to the throne
The writer adds:
Not lacking either spirit or ambition, she
accepted the offer, and for a time ruled well.
But the spark had touched the train-Ben-
gal was in fame, and now or never was
her time to regain that independence from
the British yoke her ancestors had lost
We know what her first steps were-the
blood of our creatures bear witness
to them; and though well-meaning men
have endeavored to show, and sincerely
hope with truth, that the atrocities attribu-
ted to her were greatly overrated, they still
admit, reluctantly, that these poor creatures
were only cut to pieces. Henceforth, of
course, it was war to the knife. She be-
came the very soul of the movements in
those parts. Her forts were strengthened,
her men gathered together in masses, stores
laid in, and every preparation made for seige
or fight.
For herself she dressed in male attire, for
greater convenience in the saddle or the fight;
was armed to the teeth; formed small but
devoted body guard of picked horsemen, at
the head of which she appeared to be al
most ubiquitous. Was there tagging Of
the necessary fervor?-she was on the spot
to rally and TO rouse. Was there the voice
of disaffection hear?-she by her presence
turned it to a shout of JOY! Was there
danger on the rampant wall. and men hung
back in fear? there, sword IN hand, she led
the way, and brayed the fury of frey
storm. Jhansi overwhelmed, she found her
way with her body guard to Calpee. Here
the same determined will was seen. here the
same spirit shown. Beaten, but not con-
quered, she rapidly followed the clever move
of Tantia Tapee on the Gwalior, previous
to which, from the attack on Jhansi to the
fall of Calpee, she had fought no less than
six actions against our forces, commanded
by Sir Hugh Ross in person. As before at
Jhansi, she was always first at GWalior, and
even at the last, fell sword in hand, when
struck by shell from Smiths battery.

rowed by twenty light men, in which was a
deck house or cabin of jealousies, so that the
bride was entirely screened from the gaze of
the thousands who thronged the shores of
the Bosphorus TO see the procession of boats.
She was the sole occupant of the inside, and
except the rowers, her only shipments were
two ugly black attendants. a large num-
Der of gaily attired Turkish ladies followed
in elegant caiques, and two thousand of them
remained ali night at the residence of the
bridegroom, according to the custom on
such occasions. The public was admitted
during the week preceding the nuptials to
view the trousseau, which consisted of all
sorts of costly robes and household effects.
There were several sets of complete attire;
the most magnificent being reserved for the
wedding day; the material was of deep rose
colored silk, covered with embroidery in
gold, pearls and diamonds. There were lac
ed boots to match, and every suit of toilette
was accompanied by silk gloves of the same
color as the robe, and the wedding attire had
an extra pelisse lined with sable. There were
coverlets of elder down encased in silk, and
other bed coverings, part of which were of
Broussa gauze, bordered with needlework
in gold thread. The charcoal pans and ves-
sells for washing are of silver, and those for
rose water are of silver, set with brilliants;
and spoons of ivory, and of tortoise shell,
and of mother-o' pearl, and of ebony, some
of which have clHmsy gold handles, set with
precious stones. There were also rude ra-
zors of the country, and a comb for the hus-
bands beard, like a horse name comb, stud
ded with diamonds. The prettiest of all the
articles exhibited was rug for prayer, in ia
pestry of gold and colored silk, representing
an Egyptian scene, with pyramids in the dis

the fruit of which is of pearls.

after part of it, little cabin, all gold and

with gold and silver and silk embroidery.
