resigning his Office, states that the cost to his
company Of getting the Iowa land grant
through Congress during the session of 1854,

original "pccuninry compliments" were be-

panied by the Sutana and her suite, returned

ranks decimated by the cholera. or the eigh.
ty Thousand persons who composed the cara.
van, sixteen thousand were carried off by the
epidemic. The Sultana and her entire suite
with the exception OF young Georgian slave
and an old eunuch, are among the Victims
The malignant character of the epidemic is
ascribed to The prevalence Of the Sirocco.

PoKIHG FUS.-It will be seen by the fol-

senger, which we find reported for the Fed

disposed to make fun of their intensely anti
Bank Governor:
"During the reading of the bills second
time, Mr.. Whitaker, of Fulton, moved to re.
fer the bill Incorporating the Rail Road City
Bank to the Judiciary Committee. Mr.. W
A. Harris, of Worth, suggested its reference
to Governor Brown, which brought the house
down.

fulness. We don't care how ruddy her

she wears a scowl, even her friend will con-
slider her iI-ooking; while the yonng lady
who iluminates her countenance with smiles,
will be regarded as handsome, though her
complexion is conrse enough to CRATE nut

good nature to the lovely. Girls, think of
this.

DISCRETION is no talent SO useful
towards rising in the world, or which puts
men more out of the power of fortune, than
the quality generally possessed by the dullest
sort of men, and in common speech called
"discretion," a species of lower prudence, by
the assistance of which people of the mean
est intellect pass through tho world in great
tranquility, neither giving nor taking oiense
For want of reasonable infusion of this al
dermanly quality everything fails.

shortly before the close of the late session of
Congress. We believe we violate no conf.
dence, says an exchange, in disclosing the
fac, that Hon. James A. Pierce, of Maryland,
is the Senatorial backleg referred to.

The UsIvERsAL FLAG.-A California pa.
per relates that the Americans at Victoria, in
the Frazer river region, asked permission to
rear pole, on which they would put the
star-spnngled banner. The request was in
stnnty denied. SWELL" snid the crowd, "lrt
us raise pole and stick the flag of all ma
lions to it." And so they did what they said
they would do, and petticoat waved from
the Liberty pole.

NEWSPAPER LUNATIcs.-A good joke is
perambuating "the world" at Judge Clark's
expense. Some time ago that learned func-
tionary said in speech that he looked upon
the editors of the Tribune as nothing better
than lunatics. The other day Mr.. Ripley, of
that establishment, was summoned rs n juror.
1t being very nconvenient to serve, he wrote
on the oack of the subj Iena the words, "Mr.
Ripley requests TO be excused on the ground
of unacy; in support of his plea, he will
merely mention the fact that he is one of the
editors Of the New York Tribune" Judge
Clarke, who was on the bench, took the docu.
ment, and after reading the endorsement,
said, "'rhe plea is recognized by the Court
The juror is excused" The unfortunate in.
dividuaI then, unattended by his keepers,
made is way home.

ABoLITIoHIsM ON THE WANE.--Gerrit
Smith, who was 81 humilintngly defeated
for Governor of New York, has issued nm
Address t" the People of that State, explain
ing the causes of his deporabe discontinue.
Gerrit says that Senator Soward's Rochrs
ter speech drew away large number OF his
followers, because it avowed the old AboIi-
tion doctrine, that all the States must be-
come Slave or Free. But the chief cause of
the small vote he received is the dreadful de-
cline of abolitionism. The Aholitonis,s
Gerrit grieves to say, never had darker pros
poets than now. He believes, however, that
they will have triumphant resurrection be-.
fore MANY years. Wo don'l.-S Louis

BEAurIFuL-We find the following as a

When the summer of youth is slowly vast
ing away into the nightfall of age, and the
shadows OF past years grow deeper and deep.

to look back through the vista of time upon
the sorrows aud felicities of earlier years. II
we have home to shelter and hearts to re
joice with us, and friends have been gather.
ed by our fireside, then the rough places Of
our wayfarng will have been worn and
smoothed away in the twilight Of life while
the sunny spots we have passed through will
grow brighter and more beautiful. Happy
indeed are those whose intercourse with the
world has not changed the holier feeling or
broken the musical chords Of the heart, whose
vibrations are SO melodious, so touching in
the evening of age.

DOUGLAS. AND SEwARD.-The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Courier g. Enqui-
rer thus writes:
1t is stated upon credible authority, that
Mr.. Douglas has written to one of his friends
in this city, expressing his desire for the
union Of all Democrats upon the basis of the
Cincinnati Platform, the Compromise of
1850, and the Dred Scott decision. The let
ter WAS considered on Monday last, in n 10
lect council composed of personal friends of
Judge Douglas, and the special adherents of
the Administration. What decision, If any,
was arrived at, has not been promulgated,
but no doubt exists that the prestige of sue
cess and the ascendrncy of character which
belong to Mr.. Douglas will effect the union
which is anxiously sought BY his friends
alr. Douglas is now the acknowledged head
of all the Northern Dem ocracy, and is the
favorite of the larger half Of that of the
South. The issues appear to be made up,
and the standard bearers are appointed
