U We regret to learn that the
efforts ofsome ofthe young gentlemen
in this place to inaugurato dancing
school have proved a failure. Cause,
first, no suitable room secondly,
scarcity of teminines. We advise
gents to adopt Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon'S
plan and have dance all by them
selves. Nothing like Terpsichorear
exercise with or without crinoline, and
when the "gals won't Dance" let tue
"tellers" dance so much the more to
make up the deficiency in the aggre-
gate shaking Of feet.

SENATOR DAVIS SPEECH - In his late speech at
Jackson Senator Davis attempts to convict Senator
Douglas " on the squater sovereignty charge" In
this he has utterly failed. While he complains OF
his unairness in using detached passage oithe Port
land speech, he is himself still more unfair in con.
strung the isolated declarations of Judge Douglas
made in answer to the questions Of Lincoln without
allowing due weight to his adhesion to the Democrat
ic platform and to his emphatic endorsement Of the
Dred Scott decision above quoted. In law, docu.
mens required TO be construed with reference tc
all their parts what is alone fair and just in law can
not be ignored in politics by any one who aims to
give another his due The tarhest Judge Douglas
has gone in any authentic speech in the direction
censured by the Mississippi Senator has been to sa,
that the citizens Of organized territory may rcus,
to pass territorial regulations for the protection Of
slave property, at the same time expressing the be
lief that such refusal would practically exclude
slavery. This is matter Of opinion, merely, as to
the effects of failure the part Of territorial le

Ns~ The Detroit Advertiser gives a new methot
'of computing interest on any number ofdollars at
per cent, which appears simple. Separate the righ
ihand figure by point, and the figures on the lef
hand of this separating point will be the interest in
cents for six days-the figures on the right of the point
dscimals of a cent. Multiply the whole amount by
yfpe to find the interest for thirty days, and this sum
by two for sixty days. three for ninety days &c. For
any number less than six, take the fractional part of
the interest for six Care must be taken to separate
the right hapd figure of the dollars whether there be
cents and mills in the given or sum not
