gg~ An incident was related to US the
other day, which occurred in a place not
o thousand miles distant from this city,
that will bear putting in type. The Uni
versalists had arranged for q series of
meetings in a Hall situated somewhat
like Bacon's Hall, in this city. Cold
weather came on suddenly. A man had
engaged to leave some wood to warm the
room, but failed to do so. One OF the
members who was to see about starting
the fires Sunday morning, was unaware
of this circumstance, and accordingly,
when the time arrived, proceeded to a
pile of wood belonging to An occupant OF
a room in the lower part of the building,
and commenced taking thceefrom under
the impression Of course, that it belonged
to the church. The owner OF the wood
about this time happened along.
"Hallo, there said he, ado you know
whose wood that is?"
Il supposed that it belonged to the
church"
"Well, you are mistaken, it is mine.,'
IL am very sorry. We had arranged
to have some wood brought here for oul
uso, and I supposed this pile belonged
to u.s."
every well, you can take wood enough
for your use to day, and be welcome to
it,; but, permit me to add, that nothing
short Of universal salvation will save tht
man who would knowingly, steal WOOD
in the present state Of the roads. Had

Crown Jewels of the GEAR.

BAYARD TAYLOR, in his last letter from
st. Petersburg, thus happily alludes to
the coronation gifts of Nicholas end his
son Alexander, and to the magnihceice
Ct the diamonds, emeralds, rubies and
sapphires belonging to tho Russian crown.
In matters of public state whatever
Russia does, we must admit that her
magnifcence corresponds to the grandeur
of q mighty nation.
Cne Of the most interesting halls is
that devoted to the coronation gif feceiv-
ed by Alexander, Nicholas and the pres
ent Emperor. The sncient custom is
still preserved, of each province through
ont the Empire sending bread and salt
as token of welcome. But the loaf is
carried upon q massive salyer of gold and
silver, of the rarest workmanship, and
the salt in q box or cup Of the same ma
terial, studded with jewels. The salvers
presented to the two former Emperors
rise in dazzling pyramids from the floor
nearly to the ceiling, but they are far out
shone by those Of Alexander H., who
received just as much as his father and
uncle together. If the wealth lavished
upon these offerings is an index to the
popular feeling, it is q happy omen for
his rcign. The richness aud variety of
the ornaments bestowed upon the mighty
golden salvers exceeds anything of the
kind T ever saw. Their value can only
be estimated by millions. 1t is significant
perhaps, that the largest and most superb,
which occupies the place Of honor in the
centre Of the glorious pile, is the offering,
of the serfs of the Imperial domains.
We were admitted into the room con-
tanning the crewn jewels, which are ar
ranged in glass eases, according to their
character and value In the center is
the crew1 of Alexander, a hemisphere of
the pnrest diamonds; beside is the scep-
tire, containing the famous brilliant pur-
chased by Catharinc II. from Greek
slave, and for atime supposed to be the
largest ia the world. 1t turns out to be
smaller than the Koh-i-nor though Ito my
eyes at least, Of a purer water. There
is not a quarter<so many jewels here, as IL
the Treasury Of Moscow, yet their yalue
far exceeds that of the letter. The stones
are of the largest and rarest kind, and the
splendor OF thor tints is h delicious intoxi-
cation to the eve. The soul of all tbs
| fiery roses Of Persia lives In these rubies
| the freshness of all velvet sward, whether
ii Alpine valley or English lawn, in
these eneralds; the bloom Of southern
seas in these sapphires, aud the essence
| Of thousand harvest moons in these
necklaces of pearl.

The Cost of the Capitol.

The Madison Journal has an article on
the subject of the cost Of the proposed
capitol extension, which it shows instead
of amounting to 100000, as has been
reported, viii be but $2l5,o0o. The
eastern addition now being completed,
instead of costing 500, 900, as estimated,
will cost the State only $4,000, the
$4,000 of Madison city bonds, making
up the balance of its cost. The other
parts arc estimated respectively, the west
wing at $4,000; the north and south
wings $4,000; the rotunda, dome, &C.,
$50, ooo-total $685. 600. The Journal
adds:
The completed edifce will not only be
noble structure, in its architectural APP
pearance worthy Of the superb beauty of
its site, an ornament to the State, and 8
proper source of State pride, but will fur
nish ample fre-proof Offices for all depart
ments of the State government, vaults
for the safe keeping of records, doeu-
ments, DC, and abundant room for the
storage of wood, and for the United States
standard weights and measures, now kept
in q separate building, thus enabling the
park to be entirely cleared of all the I'M
slightly structures which now cluster about
the old Capitol. The plan is remarkably
well adapted FOR the gradual erection Of
an entirely new Capitol without in the
least interrupting the business Of any of
the Departments Of the Government. 1t
is commodious and tasteful; the expendi-
ture is a small one IL comparison with
the magnitude and resources Of the State;
while the edifice i'll extent, style, and du-
rability of material, is calculated pelma-
nently to serve the purposes for which it
is designed, for centuries.
The River Falls journal. (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1857-1861, 1858-12-01


WE commend the following article
from the n. Y. Tribune, to the careful
attention of our readers. 1t expresses
our own opinion, and, we doubt not, the
opinion of majority of the People,
Why should not the People freely
choose their next President? All who
understand the matter know that the real
choice is now made by the rival bands of
politicians, virtually self-choscn to the
rival gatherings termed National Conven
tons, and that the People are allowed
Hobson's choice and one more-that is,
they may vote for the nominee of this
Convention or of that. If they presume
to have another choice than this-to vote
for any person not the nominee Of these
two Conyentions-they simply throw
their votes away. Yet these Conventions
are not merely extra-constitutional and
utterly unknown to the laws-they are
practicallysin the main eabals of selt-seek-
.ers, who are maneuvering and counter
plotting for embassies, colleetorships, con-
.sulships, land-offiees, auditorships, DC.
Sharply, by great effort, and at much
cost of money and wear and tear of con-
science, gets himself elected tc the Ma
tional Convention of his party, with an
eve single to the pushing of. his political
fortunes. To this end, it is essential that
he should not merely help nominate q
candidate, but help invent one. He must
make the President, if he is to establish a
claim on the gratitude of that functionary
merely to declare that A. or B. is the
choice of the party, would amount to lit
tie. The nominators of Jackson, Clay,
Webster or Calhoun, cannot expect to be
very gratefully remembered by their
nominee, for they have simply done what
they were sent to do-what every one
expected them to do; but they who fish
up Polk or Pierce from the depths of
mediocritv and obscurity and open to him
the doors of the White House, may rea-
sonably calculate on a reciprocation of
the favor. They have set him up as chief
distributor of offices and spoils; and he
must be more or less than man if he does
not prove 10 tnem tHaI tHeF DouutY WIS
wisely bestowed. The delegate who be-
trays his constituents and goes over at the
critical moment tothe aspirant whom the
Knowing ones have backed to win, there
by entities himself to double portion of
the swag. Hence the frequent nomina-
ton of candidates for the highest stations
who are alike unfit and undeserving.
But again: A Convention is necessarily
shy of boa, decided. positive men. 1t
must take up candidates who are all
things to all men-who are little of this
and little of that who are neither hot
nor cold-who have never offended nor
alienated any, because they never said nor
did anything OF consequence-andw whose
opinions and utterances, are fair COM
promise between something and nothing.
The politicians strike sort of general
average between those members of their
party who mean something aud those
who mean little or nothing, and the mar
who comes nearest 70 this golden mean
!. apt Go be their fsyorits.

A yoI1no Iadv who lives near n reiIrnod

A young lady who lives near a railroad
crossing appears to have no occupation
except perpetually poking her head out
of the window. A wag, the other
morning, hailed her from the streets.
Halloo, miss p" WI hat do you want!"
said she, after the first fash ofindignation
at being thus accosted. ssThe bell amt
rung yet, was the answer. .What do
you mean? asked miss. 'Why," was
the reply, that sign says you're to look
out when the bell rings; but you are look
ing out al the time. The young lady
head disappeared with a jerk, and the
window went down with slam.
