COL lid EN- AGE.
WASHINGTON, Jau. 21st.

SENATE.-The Homestead Bill was
reported back from the committee on
Public Lands, and passage recommend.
On the 21st, Mr.. Mason, of Virginia,
from the committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, presented report on Central
American affairs, in which he expressed
his appreciation of the present neutrality
laws but recommends the passage of a
bill containing further provisions for
bringing offenders to justice. The re-
port embraces resolutions to the effect
that the law arms lhe President
with sufficient power to act upon the
high seas, and that the case of William
Walker, although technically illegal,
calls for no further censure, than such
as may prevent it being drawn into pre-
cedent
Mr.. Douglas, of Illinois, dissented
from the report, and Mr.. Foote, of Vir-
ginia, so much of it as imputed blame
to Com. Paulding, The subject was
made the special order for Feb. 9th.
Mr.. Davis, of Mississippi, pressed the
consideration of his bill providing for
the increase of the Army, but after some
discussion between him and Mr.. Fessen-
den, of Names, the matter was post
poned.
Mr.. Harlan, of Iowa, made a speech
on Kansas affairs, skirmishing with re-
spect to charges of fraud in Kansas,
following between Messrs. Polk, of Mis-
souri,, Stuart, of Maine, Wilson, Of Mas
sachuse IT'S, and Davis, of Mississippi :;
after which, on motion of Mr.. Brown, of
Mississippi, the subject was postponed,
In the House, the speaker appointed
the following select committee on so
much of the President Message as re-
lated to, and recommends the construc-
tion of a railroad from the Atlantic
States to those bordering on the Pacific:
Messrs. John S. Phelps, Mo-, Israel

On question 50 important and so deli

Of the Territory, as well as the whole
Union, that it should have been submit

cision of the qualified electors. And mot

those echo, an q correct sense, are CITE

number of those who participated in
that movement are still cihacns of other
Skates Of tile Union. They left their
families in the States, at their perma
nent homes, and went to California for
temporary purpose and 1t IS not jnSt for

1t is contrary to the well-established

DR. KANE IN BoYHooD.-When he
was ten years old, four or five neighbor
boys, all bigger than himself, who had
climbed upon the roof of back build
ing in his fathers yard, were amusing
themselves by shooting putty-wads from
blow-Suns at the girls below Elisha at
tracted to the spot by the outcry of the
injured party, promptly undertook the
defense, and in the firm tone of a Young
gentleman offended, required them to
desist and leave the premises; which of
course was answered by a broadside lev
elled at himself. Fired at the outrage,
he clutched the rain-spout, climbed like
young tiger to the roof and was among
them before they could realize the prac-
ticability of the feat; and then he had
them on terms even enough for hand
some settlement of the case.
The roof was steep and dangerous to
his cowed antagonists, but safe to his
better balance and higher courage, and
they were at his mercy for no one could
help another, and he was more than a
match for the best of them, in position
where peril of terrible tumble was
among the risks of resistance. Forth
with he went at them seriatim, till, sew
erallp and singly, he had cuffed them to
the fnll measure of their respective de-
servings. But not satisfied with inhict-
ing punishment, he exacted penitence
also, and he proceeded to drag them in
turn to the edge of the roof, and holding
him there demanded an explicit apol-
ogy.
Before he had finished putting the whole
party through this last form of purga-
ton, little Tom, who had witnessed the
performance from the pavement below,
greatly terrified by the imminent risk of
a fall, which would have broken neck
or two mayhap, called out,-"Come
down, Elisha Oh, Elisha, come down."
Elisha answered the appeal in the
spirit of the engagement.

ing yet."-Dr. Elders BiograpAy Of
KaRe, the Arctic Explorer.

The FATHER OF WATERs.-The vast
ness of the great Mississippi river is thus
given by newspaper correspondent,
who writes from Maiden Rock, Wiscon-
sin:
While l look out upon the river,
three miles wide at this point, my mind
seems to take in at one grasp the mag
nitude of the stream. From the frozen
regions of the North to the sunny South,
it extends some 3,100 miles, and with
the Missouri, is 1900 miles in length.
1t would reach from New York across
the Atlantic, and extend from France to
Turkey, and to the Caspian Sea. Its
average depth from its source, in Lake
ltasca, Minnesota, to its delta, in the
Gulf of Mexico, is fifty feet, and its
width half mile. The trapper, on the
Upper Mississippi, can take the furs of
the animals from its sources and exchange
them for the tropical fruits that are gath
cred on the banks below. Slaves toll
at one end of this great thoroughfare,
while the free red men of the forest roam
at the other end. The floods are more
than a month travelling from its source
to its delta. The total value of steam
ers ahoat on this river and its tributaries
is more than S6,000,00O, and numbers
more than 1,500-more than twice the
entire steamboat tonnage of England,
and equal to that of all other parts of
the world. 1t drains an area of 1,20O,-
900 square miles, which is Justly styled
the garden OF the world. 1t receives a
score of tributaries, the least of which
are longer than the vaunted streams of
mighty empires. 1t might furnish natu-
raj boundaries for all Europe, and yet
leave for every country IL river larger
than the Seine. 1t engulfs more every
year than the revenue of many petty
kingdoms, and rolls volume in whose
depth the cathedral of St. Paul could be
sunk out of sight. 1t discharges in one
year more water than has issued from
the Tiber in five centuries; it swallows
up fifty rivers, which have no names,
each of which are longer than the
Thames. The addition of the waters
of the Danube would not swell it half
fathom in one single reservoir (Pepin)
$500 miles from the sea, the navies
might safeI Y ride at anchor. 1t washes
the shores of twelve powerful States,
and between its arms lies space for twen-
ty more.

Very decided and wholesome opposi-

Messrs Toombs, Hunter, Fessenden,
Hale and Seward uniting in condemna-
tion of the large and permanent increase
proposed.
Mr.. jeff Davis bill cannot be passed
without serious modification.
In the Senate, Jan. 2Sth, an amend

Mr.. Hale vindicated the figures in his
speech on the Army Bill, against the
charges of the Washington Union.
The Pacific Railroad Bill was the
special order, but Mr.. Douglas pressed
the Senate to take up the bill providing
for the admission of Minnesota into the
Union, and was seconded by Messrs
Crittenden, Sew ard, Hale and Wilson

Brown, Fitzpatrick and Mason. The
last of whom said that it might be found
necessary for the southern States, in
order to determine where they stand in
this Union, to take up the Minnesota
and Kansas questions together. Mr..
Crittenden made an eloquent reply to
Mr.. Mason, which elected applause from
the gallery.
Without taking up the question the
Senate adjourned.
Mr.. Parrott presented joint resolution

GREEN IN 1850 AND GREEN IN 1857.
The national democracy is remark
able as party for their Inconsistencies
upon great political issues. 1t is but
few days since we had occasion to show
up Mr.. Buchanan and Senator Bialer
1t is now Mr.. Green's opportunity to APP
pear in the same character before the
people. 1t will be recollected that Mr..
Green delivered a speech in December
against Douglas and sustaining the ad
ministration in its endorsement Of the
Lecomp5on constitution. The idea of
Mr. Gsren was, first. that an enabling
act, as proposed by Judge Douglas, was
necessary; and, secondly, that the con-
stitution framed by the representatives,
of the minority was binding upon the
majority, and shat Congress was bound
to admit Kansas under it. 1t is curious
to refer to the speeches delivered by
Mr.. Green, while Il member Of the House
of Representative from Missouri. in the
thirty-first Congress, on the application
of California for admission into the I'm
ion. and to study the contrast.
We copy from his speech Of the 4th
of April, 1850, the following remark
able passage. Every word of it was
spoken in ease where the people had
already declared in favor of their eonsti-
tuition, had already elected their sena-
tors and their representatives under it
and were only awaiting The formalty Of
vote to be enrolled in the FIRMLY Of
States. Observe how careful Mr. Green
was in that case, aciM tie popnlar rote
before him, and mark how signally and
singularly his argument applies to the
extraordinary state of affairs now exist
ing in Kansas.-No. Democrat.

indicted at New Orleans for violation
of the Neutrality laws.
We have, by way of St. Louis, tele-
graphic dispatches to the goth ult.
They state that Calhoun has rejected
such returns of the recent election as
were transmitted to Gov. Denver, and
thereupon declared the whole pro-slave-
ry ticket elected, with a pro-slavery
majority in both branches of the Legis-
lature.
A report was prevalent in Washington
on Monday, that Mr.. Buchanan contem-
plates the withdrawal of the troops from
Utah.
Mr.. Bernhisel, the delegate from Utah
is said to have made overtures to the
President, signifying the willingness of
the Mormons to leave Utah and take up
their future residence on some islands
outside of the U. S., provided our Gov
ernment will give a fair price for their
improvements in Salt Lake City. Mr..
Buchanan requests that commissioners
be appointed to arran ge the details.
An atrocious attempt to take the life
of Louis Napoleon was made by several
Italian conspiraters as he was entering
the Opera House in Paris by the explo-
sion of prGjectiles. one of which pierced
his hat
The explosion was so terrific that five
persons were killed, and sixty wounded,
eleven of whom are in dangerous con-
dition. The Emperor and Empress
drove out in an open carriage on the fol-
lowing day, and were enthusiastically
cheered by the people. Many arrests
have been made, including two Italian
Counts, Orsini and Pierre. The Police
Of Paris had been forewarned of the at
tempt on the life of the Emperor.

dying man about to appear in the pres
ence of his Maker. He hoped it would
do them good, and warn them of the fol-
lies of the world. He desired his spirit
ual adviser to make few remarks,
which he did A number of his friends
one by one then ascended the scaffold,
to each of which he extended his hand,
gave them words of earnest advice and
bid them last farewell Embracing
his counsel he told him he had been a
true friend, and he loved him as a broth
er. Then turning again to the crowd
he addressed to them words of earnest
advice. He asked his jailor to bear
witness when he was gone of his good
behavior while in confinement, which
was promised.
He then signifed his readiness, and
pulled off his shoes with his own hands,
saying he was glad he could help him
self. He placed himself upon the trap
with frmness and heroism never ex-
celled. Not muscle moved, nor was
the least sign of emotion discoverable on
his countenance, which remained as for
Some days past with slight trace of
sadness. or perhaps, intense earnestness
it should be called, After the cap had
been drawn over his face, he requested
to be buried as he was with the letter
of friend in Oregon in his pocket. AS
the rope was being adjusted around his
neck, he charged them to fix it proper
ly to do its work, and then desired Sher-
if Irwin to give his love to the lady at
Downieville, who treated him so kindly
while he was in prison there.
Rev. Mr.. Dryden then made a short
and earnest prayer. On pronouncing
the word "Amen" the rope was severed
that held the drop, and the soul of u. C.
Bolin was launched into eternity. The
unfortunate man died without a strug-
gle.
Signs of pulse were observable for
IA minutes when it entirely ceased.
The body was allowed to hang 2S min
utes when it was cut down and removed
to Riley's brick, corner of Broad and
Pine streets, where it was visited bv
many during the afternoon.
The funeral takes place to-day at 2
o'clock p. NJ.
The utmost order and decorum were
observed at the execution and through
the day. No rows or disturbances of
any kind disgraced the day.

may we never again be called upon to

A PEOPLE WITHOUT TEETH DR..
Livingston's travels in Africa, recently
rc-pubished from the English edition
by the Harpers, is one Of the most val
liable books of modern times. Among
many curious and amusing things in ii,
we find an account of strange deform-
ity existing among tribe of negroes in
the sun-toasted Country he has been ex-
ploring. Every man, woman and child
connected with the tribe are without
front teeth Inquiring into the cause of
this unnatural appearance, it was given
him thus Once upon time, the chief
of the tribe, like many better man in
civilized countries, was possessed of a
refractory wife. He endured her impu-
dence and annoyanccs tor many years,
but one day, becoming suddenly aruus-
ed, he gave her what is called in civil
zedparlarce, plug" in the mouth with
his fist. The blow must have been not
only severe, but well aimed, for it reliev-
ed the mouth of the proud woman of all
its front teeth. Thus despoiled of her
most priced beauty, the sable matron
hid herself III shame, and afterwards be-
came tractable and obedient wife,
The warriors of the tribe in council as
sembled, observed the good results of
that one blow of the chief, and being
troubled generally with disobedient
wives, resolved at once to follow his pu-
giiistic example. Each repaired to his
home, and rested not contented until
their wives were forcibly relieved of their
front teeth The result of this general
intiictlon, however, was far from being
satisfactory. The toothless women be-
came enraged at the loss of their pearly
jewels, and combined against their lords
and masters, in a general mutiny, which
the warriors could not resist. After a
period of serious trouble, peace was re-
stored and compromise effected upon
the following terms: the husbands were
to Immediately y extract their front teeth,
and thus deform themselves as thev had
deformed their wives, and from that day
on, all their children were to suffer the
same infliction at the earliest possible
age. The covenant has been faithfully
and the tribe, from custom, now consid-
er teeth an enormity.
