Jefferson ana Tom Moore.

There is an amusing episode in Jefferson's
pubic career, which is related by MIR. Ran.
| dali 10 q quiet vein Of subducd humor.
Thos. Moore visited tho United States In
1903, at the age Of "a, Just after he had 40
CURED dubious notoristy by tho publication
| 81 Little's Poems. He vas presented TO Mr.
Jefferson by Merry, the British Minister.
| Il seems that that Mr.. Jefferson, not aware
of the identy OF the poetical young gentle.
unexpectedly not having heard Of, and
certainly not having read his amorous lucu-
bration simply spoke to the lilliputian
stranger, looking down coldly on him, ms sis
feet two will look down on Eve feet three,
and passed on.
This WAS in 1905, and Moore, much of
Tended, ssfell TO lampooning the President
| and every thing American, except few at.
tentive Federal ladies and gentlemen."--
These he published on his return to England
and that what he wrote in verse was his full
conviction, is evident from his private letters
to his mother from America, which Lord
Russell with his usual want Of judgment,
has published with Moore's Diaries.
| When some OF Jeffo, sons intimate friends
saw the verses in which Moore had not only
abused America, but lampooned hcr Chief
Magistrate, they determined to place the
the subject before the person chiefly concern
ed. Jefferson's daughter Miss Randolph, J
and his ex-Secretary, MIR. Burwell), talked
themselves into . towering indignation, and
waited upon Mr.. Jefferson, who was sitting
reading in the library Of Monticello, serene
~ unconscious Of calamity.
Barwell pointed out the obnoxious pass
ages. The victim glanced through them,
looking at one angry interlocutor, aud then
the other. 1t WAS amazing enough to see
Burwell 80 sxaperated but the calm, gentle
Martha's passion gust was irresistible. Mr..
Jefferson broke into clear, hearty laugh
There was more than argument, there was
conviction in that laugh. The indignant pair
retreated little crest-fallen, but as soon as
the library door closed, joined heartily in the
merriment.
Many years later, Moore's Irish Melodies
appeared IN this country. The book was
placed in Jefferson's hands by his grand
daughter, who hs q curiosity to see how it
would be received.
"Why," said he, ssthis 10 the little man
who satirixed me sol
Tie had always sympathized keenly with
the Irish patriots. The delightful rhythm fell
like music on susceptible car. He presently
exclaimed:
"Why, he is a poet, after ALL"
Henceforth, adds Mr.. Randall, the bard of
Erin shared with Burns the honor OF being
familiarly read by the retired statesm
when Byron, Wadsworth, Southey, Coleridge,
Campbell, &C., never could Tor at least never
did) break through the barrier Of his early
halits and tastes The last page which Mr..
Jefferson's hand traced, his farewell to his
daughter, contains quotation Of several
lines from Moore's song, commencing

fT"Polk, Dallas and the tariff Of AZ"
was the rallying cry Of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania in the Presidential contest Of
1854. Polk and Dallas were elected but
the tariff Of '42 was repealed. In 1856
Pennsylvania was rallied into line under the
battle cry of Buchanan, Breckenridge and
free Kansas" And in year after the cleo
tion Buchanan announces in bis message and
in . tone Of qualification and triumph,
"Kansas is as much slave State to-day az
South Carolina or Georgia"
We see already indications that the Dem
ocracy, distressing another such bold at
tempt TO humbug Pennsylvania, are prepar
ing to buy her, and will attempt to do 30 b,
a"high protective tariff on iron.
Let our readers bear this in mind and not
the progress Of events.

Buchanan's Administration has spent more
money than any previous one during the same
length Of time. And, worse than that, il
spends double the income Of the Government
from all sources and runs the country in debt
at the rate Of $40 100000 year. But moro
and worse still, instead Of proposing meas
ures Of retrepohment, in view Of these facts,
the Administration is on the contrary propo-
posing measures Of an opposite character
and increasing the annual appropriations.

1t is said that when coal was Hrst used 10
England the prejudice against it was 30 strong
that the Commons petitioned the Crown to
prohibit the "noxiou," fuel. A Royal proc
lanialion having failed to abate the nuisance,
commission was issued to ascertain who
burned coal within the city Of London and
its peighborhood, and to punish them, by
fine, for the first offense, and by demoiltion
OF their furnaces, If they persisted in trans
crossing. A law was finally passed, making
it a capital offence to burn coal in the city,
and only permitting it to be used in the for
ges OF the city. 1t is stated that among til
records in the Tower of London, document
was once found, importing that, in the time
of edward l., man had been tried, convict
ed, and executed for the crime of burning
coal in London! II took three centuries to
entirely efface this prejudice.
The history Of tho coal trade in Pennsyl-
vania Is equally remarkable. At first the
idea of using coal for fuel was ridiculed as an
absardity, and the early pioneers in the great
trade encountered many difficulties. But
they perseyered, and with results truly won.

California Indeed the chances are that
when the latter is exhausted, the former will

The Comet.

According to the calculations of an East
ern astronomer, tMr. Watson, Of Ann Har-
bor,) the comet passes its perihelion point
nearest the Gun Yesterday morning, at the
rate Of III 900 miles per hour, or more than
IS miles per second. He says:
Ii will approach nearest our earth on the
l0sh Of October, at which time It's apparent
magnitude srt h-ili'accy viii 30 res-ly
double what they are now. Ii will soon move
rapidly toward the South, but viii continue
visible till the latter part Of October; Ut
which time, il viewed near the end u twilight,
every evening, II will be found gradually to
sink in the southwest, and finally disappear
on its long journey into space, not to return
till our times are OF more antiquity than
those Of Moses, or even Adam are now.

No female should, by any means, neglect
to study dress MS an art by which VIC mean
that 0xercise OF taste and judgement which
teaches what style and color Of dress ID most
becoming to the figure, face, age, etc., and
also what fashions and customs best blend
| and harmonic with each other. Tho fol.
lowing rules illustrating the subject may be
confidently relied upon and advnntageously
aplied:
Smear females should not wear fiounces 10
their Dresses, because the undue breadth it
gives to the lower part OF the person tenda
to diminish it's height. For the same reason
they should not wear large cheok patterns or
stripes running round the dress.
TALL females, as matter of course, may
wear their dresses on principles diametrically
opposed to above.
Srour females should wear dark colored
dresses and simple patterns, as they diminish
the apparent size Of the figure; the skirts,
also, should have few or no nounces, ex-
cept when their figure is above the ordinary
height.
IHls females should wear light-colored
dresses, and patterns displaying breadth Of
design, such 40 large checks, broad stripes,
cot; may also be freely adopted as they
serve tt diminish the angles Of the figure,
and also 10 imparta certain degree OF ro-
tundity.
Yousu females have wide latitude al
lowed them for dress; gayer colors and
more fanciful styles may be INDUCED in, so
long they do not amount to over dressing
or unsuitablcness.
ELDERLY females should attire themselves
in neat, quiet manner the materials Of
their dress should be substantial, the colors
dark, aud the designs small. Above all
things they should avoid juvenility OF style,
since, instead Of making old people look
Younger, 1t has an Immediately opposite ef
fact, and only serves to bring out more prom
inently, and to contrast more painfully,
the youth Of the dress with the age Of the
wsarcr.
DARK females look best in light colors,
which supply pleasing contrast to the com
plexion, or in yellow, which sheds subdued
violet hue, favorable to brnnettes.
FAIR females appear to the best advantage
in black, on account OF the contrast which
is derived from it or in light green, or sky
blue, both which colors possess the power Of
imparting to pale or fair complexions what is
called complimentary tints.-IDictionary Of
