OYERDoING TIE THING.

The Mobile Mercury gives an amusing
account Of negro baptismal scene in
Mississippi, wherein negro known as
Big viii figured conspicuously Despite
Wills irreverence, we publish the story
"The bottom of the creek was of slip
perry soapstone, which, just beyond the
point where sufficient depth was obtained
for a proper administration ofthe ordinance,
broke suddenly into deep hole. Big
Will attempted to do as directed, but like
his race in matters of religion generally,
overdid the thing his feet slipped from
under him, and down he went into the
deep hole, dragging the minister along
with him. The astonished crowd was
Mortified as they both disappeared beneath
the surface. For a few seconds bubbles
rose TO the surface 10 mark the spot where
they went down, then Big viii appear.
ed snorting and spoutng like porpoise
As VIII regained the shelving rock and
made towards dry land the minister was
discovered clineing to his leg with bull
dog tenacity. They were both happily
saved AS soon as Wills speech returned
TO him, he was heard to exelaim:
"Gosh, Cor Almighty, white folks
some on you gwine to lose a nigger wiz
mis- foolishness +"

DANDIEs IN DEMAND-The following

Telegraphi
WANTED.-One hundred and seventy
five young men, of all shapes and sizes,
from the tall, graceful dandy, with hair
enough on his upperworks to stuff bar
bers cushion, down to the little up-start.
The object is to form Gaping Corps, to
be in attendance at the church doors on
each Sabbath, before the commencement
of divine service, to stare at the females
as they enter, and make delicate and gem
tIemanly remarks on their persons and
dress. All who wish to enlist in the above
Corps, will please appear at the various
church doors nextSabbath morning, where
they will be duly inspected, and their
names, personal appearance and quantity
of brains registered in book kept for
that purpose, and published in the news
papers, To prevent general rush it will
be well to state that none will be enlisted
who possess intellectual capacities above
that of an ordinary well-bred donkey.

MIR, BUCHANAN'S SYSTEM OF
SECRET SERVICE--HIS SPIES.
WAsHINaToN. Sent. p. 1SI

When you and / knew Mr. Buchanan
in the good old time. while hewas dispens-
ing refined hospitalites at his residence
in Lancaster. and whilst a member Of the
Senate and Cabinet, in this city, the idea
never entered his head to shackle these
hospitalities by party rules. And al
though it is asserted that no single member
of the opposition party was invited to dine
at the White House since the Kansas
somersault. am still in hopes of seeing
satisfactory explanation of that Affair."
But what do you think Of the course Of
the Star newspaper here, edited by Wal.
lach attacking certain Democrats in New
York, on account Of an entertainment of
which you were with them participant9 ?
Reading the article of Wallsch the other
day, was tempted TO ask WHAT'S to be
the next step in tlfis mad career Of un-
bounded despotism (? Is it possible that
spies are to hide. in the shadows of ont
houses, cluster at our tables. in horrible
shape IKE the skeleton at the Egyptian
feasts-spies upon our steps like Pouches
minions-is it possible that in human de-
pravity there are those fallen so low in the
social scale as 10 even pattern the spy at
the hearthstone, whom Bulwer has i'm
mortalEed as an object of ineffable con-
tempt, and the very creature of deepest
hell? Is it really possible that no man
holding office or expecting Office shall be
tolerated who looks an Independents Demo
crat in the face. visits his family, or returns
the ordinary civilities of lifeY The
Spanish officials of Cuba are compelled to
this sort of espionage so are those of all
despotisms that, like Nero, intoxicated
with his own power, would whelm whole
people in utter destruction, and laugh at
it az joke. These are the characteristics
of desrotisms, but are they the charac-
teristics of a free government Informers
thrive by this infamy, as did those of Ire
land within the memory of even our young
men. Them degraded wretches, charac-
terless knaves-men who are expelled from
decent society, and are tolerated by parties
simply because they cannot be got rid Of
--see, in the encouragement which has
been extended to this tyranny over the
social circle, the convenient passport TO
official favor. Now surely Mr. Buchanan
cannot approve the disgraceful attempt to
intimidate and injure every independent
man who refuses to allow the friendships
of years TO be severed by political differ
ences. And yet precisely such a state of
things must resi- from the course pursued
by the accepted organs of the Admir- istra-
ton. Defamation of high-toned citizens
like Reverdy johnson, Stephen A. Douglas,
Henry A. Wise and Robert j. Walker,
draws a line which cannot be overstepped,
and makes every man personal enemy of
power, whether he will or no And the
parties to this scandalous practice are the
men who charge you with revealing private
conversations, when in self defence you
came forward to vindicate your position
before the country, against as merciess
crusade as the annuals Of politics can
show.

How TO SMOKE SAFELY.--It Is we'll
known that in Turkey, and in other coun-
tries, most elaborately contrived pipes are
resorted to, to rid tobacco Of its nauseoua
and injurions oil, while retaining the
soothing influence of the weed itself--as
weed 10y the way, that is abused and used
in about equal proportions. Allowing
the smoke to pass through a small plobee
of water has been found the most effective
means of its publication. But the pipe
with that appendage is both costly and
cumbersome. Aningenious American has
conlrived an equally effcacious smoking
pipes apparatus, adarted to ei. afs and 10
the ingenuity Of which is sequaled only by
its economy and convenience. The ppfi.
fer is piece Of spunge, which is moi1t.
ened with water or with cologne OF rose
water. 1t is contained in cup and can
be cleansed or renewed at any time. We
believe theinventor has christened its Tho
American Smoker" In the senco Of be.
ing unitarian it is essentially American.
and if smoking can be converted into lux,
ury, this invention converts II into one.
We do not often refer to such instrumen
tialities with commendation, bnt the very
simplicity and prlection Of this invention
are so remarkable rs to deserve commen-
datory mention.-N y Gmmetcidf Ad-
eertiser.

A GOOD ONE.

An anecdote in Harper, says the Vicks-
burgh Wing, reminds us Of story we
once heard of a revolutionary soldier who
was running for Congress. 1t appears
that our hero was opposed by younger
man, who had never been to the wars,
and it was the wont of the revolutionary
to tell the people of the hardships he en-
dured. Says he, fellow citizens, have
fought and bled for my country--I helped
whip the British and Indians. l have
slept upon the field of battle with no
covering but the canopy of Heaven. l
have walked over frozen ground till every
footstep was marked with blood" just
