Bs9S" We have new verson of the Dickens
scandal, furnished by the London correspondent
of the New York Tribune, who processes to give
the facts in the case," as follows
" Mrs. Dickens did not feel comfortable in the
society of Mr.. Dickens literary friends, nor did
Mr. Dickens much like the visiting acquant-
ances of his wife; but as long as their children
were receiving their education they remained
united in spite of the difference of their tastes
and tempers. Toward the end of the last year,
however, they peaceably separated, without any
quarrel, by mutual consent,th the daughters remain
ing with the father, under the superintendent
of their aunt Mrs. Dickens sister, while the son
went with the mother. They visited one another
and remained on good terms, aud nobody found
fault with the arrangement. But society, so
called, began to fill the town in spring; people
unacquainted with the domestic affairs of the
novelist thought it strange that Dickens left his
cards at some friends, with those of his daugh-
ters and of his sister-n-law, without the card of
his wife; society, without inquiring, got into
fit of virtue and decency, the most absurd and
most infamous stories were circulated for three
or four days, until Dickens came out in his pa
per and silenced them.

AwKwARDNEss OF FIRST ExPERIENcr-Mr
McCreery, of Kentucky, said numberess good
things in his recent speech before the West
Point Cadets-among others, the following:
al stand to-day upon a strange theatre /
occupy new position-and there is nothing
more embarrassing to man or woman than a
new position. The boldest mariner that ever
struck 4 furrow across the bosom of the dee p
felt his spirits sink within him when the angry
music of the ocean first broke upon his ear
The truest knight that ever drew the sword or
shivered lance was not an Indifferent specta-
tor to the first conflict of arms. The most
heartless coquette that ever poured the consum-
ing venom of her falsehood and treachery
around the vitals of confding lover, stood
herself appalled, when she met the first eager
glance of admiring sutor. The girl who is
just blooming into womanhood, and whose
mind is filled with strange fancies of love and
marriage, prepares herself with the most assid-
uous care for her first descent into the parlor-
In her efforts to be easy, she becomes very un-
easy her exertions to be graceful render her
decidedly awkward her virgin modesty magni-
fcs her innocent mistakes, and she retres over
whelmed with modification at her failure in her
new position. A new position, whatever it may
be, clouds and bewilders the understanding"

A Spread Eagle Toast.

At Prentiss Centre, Mo-, on the 5th, the fol-
lowing was the second regular sentiment:
"OUR NATIoN.-Begotten amidst the storms
of the sixteenth century, its infante move
ments were dim and indistincty seen on board
the May Flower, on the rock of Plymouth, at
jamestown, on the plains of Monongahela, and
on the heights of Abraham; the capricious
squalls of its infancy heard in the tea par
ty of Boston, in Faneuil Hail. on the plains of
Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill; in his boy
hood he ran bare footed and bare-headed over
the fields of Saratoga, Trenton, Princeton, Mon
mouth and Yorktown, whipped his mother and
turned her out of DOORS in his youth he strobe
over the prairies of the boundless West, and
called them his own, paid tribute to the despots
of Barbary in powder and ball, spit in his fa-
Tiers face from behind cotton bales at New Or
leans, whipped the mistress of the ocean, revell-
ed in the halls of Montezuma, straddled the
Rocky Mountain, and with one foot upon golden
sand, and the other upon Goldfish and lumber
defied the world in his manhood, clothed in
purple and fine linen, he strides over a continent
in cushioned cars rides over the ocean in palace
steamers, sends his thoughts on wings of light
ming to the world around thunders at the door
of the Celestial Empire, and at the portals of
distant Japan, slaps his poor old decrepid father
in his face, and tells him to be careful how he
pecks into any of his pickaroons, and threatens
to make sheep pasture of all the land that
joins him. What he will do in old age, God
only knows. May he live ten thousand years,
and his shadow never be less.'n

EDWARD EVERETT ON PoLITIcs.-On the 9Th of
July Mr. Everett spoke to the Democracy of the
Revere House, Boston. He INDUCED in bit of
personal reminiscence:
"As long as | was in public life, I was
member, as you know, sir, of that old Whig par
ty to which you have referred-the national
Wing party political association, sir, am
sure you will grant, of which no one need be
ashamed. The prostration of my health COM
PEELED me, four years ago, to resign the honora-
BILE post which then filled in the public service
Since that period new parties have been organ
lied !; old ones have either retired for while, at
least from the field, or have been forced in some
degree on new issues; and if | felt the slightest
inclination, (Which l do not) with the partial
restoration of my health to return to public life,
| should be deferred from it by the fact that be-
tween the extremes ofopinon which distract and
threaten to convulse the country, find no mid
die path to practical usefulness which friend
of moderate counsels is permitted to pursue
Statesmdnship, as ii trds understood in my younger
days-that is, the study of the foreign relations
of the country. its defences, naval and military,
its currency and finances, its internal improve
ments, its great industrial interests, and the re-
lations of the government to the Indian tribes,
has almost become obsolete idea and our politi-
cal life has assumed almost exclusively the form
of sectional agitation. Into that dreary and
proftless agitation have not the heart to en-
ter

ExPoRTATIoN OF DANCE GIRLs-Abouta dozen
of the Pacific street dancing girls were shipped
on the steamer John L. Stephens for Europe
These girls usually hired in Holland and
Germany, commonly for term of three years,
on contract, to attend the dance houses that
long, and, at the expiration of the term, they
receive an agreed sum ofmoney, generally about
six hundred dollars. Their employers agree to
pay their passage hither and back. The con-
tracts are usually made with the parents of the
girls by an agent in Europe, and they appear to
be faithfully kept. 1t is natural to suppose that
the morals of these girls are entirely corrupted
in the low company which they compelled
to keep in the dance houses. This is the result
in some cases; but, generally, the girls so
clannish and watchful of each other that they
return home as pure as when they left. As they
are kept strictly watched here, and hardly ever
appear in the streets except going TO and return
ing from the dance houses, they will carry home
an impression that California is only place of
scum, filth, oaths, bad whisky, and rascally to-
bacco. They will report nothing of our rich
soil, calling for the husbandman; of our luxu-
RANT fields and forests; or of our blue skies and
glorious climate.-Bulietin.

AN INCIDENT AT FUNERAL.-The funeral of
the late Mayor Wayne, of Savannah Ga, was
attended, in that city, by an immense concourse
of persons. The Ners, after stating that the
services of the Episcopal Church and those of
the Masons and Odd Fellows were performed at
the grave, followed by vollcy fired by the mil
itary, says
We must not neglect to mention most in
terestng incident of the day, which was alike
creditable to those engaged in it, and feeling
testimonial of regard and esteem for the de-
ceased 1t is well known that the late Mavor
wayne had endeared himself to all by his uni
form kindness of heart and courteousness of
manner toward all with whom he came in con-
tact, professionally or otherwise. But none will
miss MN more than the colored people, to whom
ne was always kind friend, and they testified
tneir love ior him yesterday, in most beautiful
ana impressive manner. In the procession. i'm
mediately following the hearse, they marched
10 the number of about three hundred. After
entering the cemetery they ranged themselves
on one side of the route chosen for the proces-
sion, and sang ore of the most beautiful and
appropriate hymns, to one of the sweetest tunes
we have ever had the pleasure of listening to-
1t was grateful tribute to their departed friend
offered in a most graceful and touching man
ner."

DR.. w L b B E X S
Invigorating Cordial Sanguifer.

FTO MANY THIS MAY SEEM EXTRAVA-
i CANT praise of this concoction, but if they
could see, as ! have, the many whom this has
restored to health, they would not be surprised
at any language in its praise. To offer moro
certificates is useless; at least eighty have al
ready been published, and only the thick headed,
self-wise sceptic and unbeliever can doubt that
it is the most blessed health-restorer and
strength-giver ever invented by man. 1t ltrestores
and permanently invigorates the broken-down
system. Nay, more; it replaces natural weak
ness with strength. The despondng it reviyes,
the feeble it endows with vigor, and the cheer
funess and strength which it restores or cre-
ates it preserves

ment of the System; Weakness from Udrious causes,

The GREAT COLUMBIA NUGGET.-The discove-
ry of this immense boulder of gold and quartz
near Columbia, by Mr.. Strain, proves, says the
Courier, that the day of great things is not yet
over. The boulder, now on exhibition at the
office of Wells, Fargo & Co., in this place. is
about l22 inches in length, 10 in width, and
from to inches thick 1t weighs &C pounds
avordupois weight, and is variousiy estimated in
value at from seven to nine thousand dollars
One side of the boulder is solid gold, from which
surface it graduates to quartz and gold Its
discovery was accidental and though Strain OBJ
jects to giving publicity to the locality of its
discovery, it is pretty well known to be near the
head of Santiago Gulch. Several valuable
boulders and cheespas have already been found
in this locality, but none before equaling the
present There must be an undiscovered gold
lode not far from this gulch.

The Hair OF the Presidents.

| In the Patent Office at Washington, there are
many objects of interest connected with the
| Government and those who administered its af
| fairs in times gone by. While examining some
of these objects of curiosity when in Washingto
in December last, there was nothing that struck
us SO forcibly as the samples of small locks of
hair taken from the heads of the different Chief
Magistrates from President Washington down to
President Pierce, secured in q frame covered
with glass. Here is, in fact part and parcel
of what constituted the living bodies of those
illustrous individuals, whose names are as IA
miliar as household words, but who now live
only in history and the remembrance of the
past.
The hair of Washington is nearly pure
white, tne and smooth in its appearance.
That of John Adams is nearly the same in
color, though perhaps little coarser.
The hair of Jefferson is of different charac-
ter, being a mixture of white and auburn, or a
sandy brown, and rather coarse. In his youth,
Mr.. Jeifersons hair was remarkable for its bright
color
The hair Of Madison is coarse, and of a mixed
white and dark
The hair of Monroe is a handsome, dark au-
burn, smooth and free from any admixture what
ever He is the only President, excepting Pierce,
whose hair has undergone no change of color.
The hair of John Quincy Adams is peculiar.
being coarse and yellowish grey in color.
The hair of Gen. Jackson is almost perfect
white, but coarse in its character, as might be
supposed by those who have examined the por-
traits of the old hero.
The hair of Van Buren is white and smooth in
appearance.
The hair of Gen. Harrison is fine white with
a slight admixture of black.
The hair of John Tyler is a mixture of white
and brown.
The hair of James K Polk is almost a pure
white.
The hair of Gen. Taylor is white, with
slight admixture of brown.
The hair of Millard Fillmore is, on the other
hand, brown with slight admixture of white.
The hair of Franklin Pierce is dark brown,
of which he has plentiful crop.

GREAT EXCITEMENT ABOUT BEEF.-We learn
from the Savannah (Ga.) papers, that there is
quite panic in that city on the subject of beef
A large majority of the people are wholly es-
schewing its use, and the present stock of the
butchers is likely to stand in the field. The ex-
citement originated in mysterious cattle dis
ease which is rapidly spreading through all
Georgia. 1t is alleged that to eat the slightest
portion Of the flesh thus diseased is certain
death. A correspondent of the Savannah Re
publican says:
4" think can furnish you with satisfactory
solution, as to what becomes of the buzzards in
the section of the country where the so-called
COW disease RACES. They all die, as everything
else will that partakes of the diseased flesh.
will give you proof positive, which took place on
my premises last Friday. On that morning, af-
ter washing out the mouths of those of my cat
tie that have the disease, the mop used for the
purpose was thrown on the ground by the boy
having it in charge. A favorite terrier dog,
given me BY one of your citizens, picked it up,
and was playing with it by tossing it up and
catching it in his mouth and shaking it. During
the day, the dog was taken sick, moping around
all day; on Saturday he was missing; this morn
ing he was found dead, his body and head
swelled five times their natural size.
"The disease is spreading, and will continue
to spread until 1t has nothing to work on"

From the New York Printer,
Response to n Poet.

Most readers are familiar with Moores popu
melody. sung so many thousands OF times, c
,ich the following is the first stanza
"This world is all feeting show,
For mans illusion given;
The smiles ofjoy, the tears of woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow:
There's nothing true but heaven
An American writer improves the sentimen
5f Moore in the following
Antithesis.
This worlds not " all fieeting show,
For mans illusion given
He that hath sooth d widows woe,
Or wiped an orphans tear, doth know
There's something here of Heaven.
And be that walks life's thorny way
With feelings calm and even,
Whose path is lit from day to day
By virtues bright and steady ray,
Hath something felt of Heaven.
He that the Christian course hath ran,
And all his foes forgiven,
And measured out lIfe's little span
In love to God and love to man,
On earth hath tasted Heaven
