A NIGHTINGALE I'm the city.

Jenny Lind-she must still be Jenny Lind
to us, and not Madame Goldschmidt-has
been to the Mansion House to recive mar
BILE bust Of the Queen, from Lord Mayor
Wire. When we say that the marble was
by the enthusiastic Mr.. Dunham, we declare
that it was worthy of Jenny Limbs accept
ance.
This bust-giving is noticed by us, not
simply as q graceful recognition Of Jenny's
charity to London hospital, but also as sf-
fording us an opportunity of calling public
attention back to the time when the Swedish
nightingale sang, almost weekly, for some
noble English charity. She has returned
from abroad to live in England; and it ID
we'll that we should remind her that her Law.
ish generosity has not been forgotten by u.s.
We might note down the names of many Gel.
ebrated singers who have shaken fortunes
out of the pocket Of John Bull-yet have
steadfastly declined to MARBLE Q phrase
gratis. There are old favorites among vi
who would not, for the most pressing chart.
ty, whistle two notes. And it is in their
presence, by contrast with their wretched
avarice, that we would measure the charity
Of Jenny4.ied. She received large sums
but she gave with liberality proportional
to her gains. And we lift our hats to her
and hope that Mr.. Dunham's marble may b,
daily lesson to her children. 1t is votiv.

There were taken through this place yes
terday two calves that were destitute of fore
legs. They are from the farm Of Mr.. Math-
ers near Round Grove, Marion Co., Iowa.
They have q common sire but different
mothers. They are now one month old and
seem to be quite hearty. From birth they
have been entirely destitute of fore legs.-
The fore shoulders and the fore part Of their
bodies generally, have smaller development
than is usual at their age, while the hinder
parts have larger development than usual.
Their method of walking is quite singular.
They travel backwards on their hind legs,
while the head and fore shoulders are ele-
waited from foot to foot and half from
the ground. Their keeper informs US that
they will walk and run with considerable
speed. On the whole they are rather rare
specimens of the cattle species. They are
now beng taken East, and will probably fall
in with some travelling show Oskaloosa

Turn AbOut and Jump } Inn CrOWs
Within six weeks have the Administration
changed its position three times upon the
question Of protection to adopted citizens.
On the 18th Of May Gen. Cass wrote Mr..
LIE Clerc, ssThat naturalization will not ex-
empt you from the claim of military service,
should you repair thither (France.")
A gentleman Of the American party, resi-
ding at Richmond, Va, by the name of Bolts,
deposited few eggs IN the Administration
NAV, which had tho effect to draw out Of
Gen. Cass another letter, explaining the
former one. So, on the l4th Of June, sec-
ond letter was addressed to Mr.. Hofsr, Of
Cincinnati, as new dodge, in which it says,
"native-born Prussians naturalized in the
United States, and returning to the country
OF their birth, are not liable to any duties or
penalties except such as were existing at the
period of their emigration" During this
time the Republicans everywhere, as well as
the Americans, took issue with the Admins
tration upon the position it had taken upon
this subject, and in many localities the Dem
ocrats also took ground against the views Of
the Administration. The result has been,
the Administration has ssthree times turned
about and jumped Jim Crow" for on the 9th
of July Gen. Cass instructs our Minister at
Berlin to look after the case wherein en- adopt
ed citizen Of this country, had been COM
PEELED to do military service in the Hanoveri-
an army. This is complete back down in
the case. How Notifying it must now be
to the editors OF the papers--the Constitution
and the States-who defended the position
Of the Administration so ardently upon its
former positions upon this subjeot.-(O hari-

The Philadelphia Press thus notices one Of
the papers in the last Atlantic Monthly:
s'The Professor is great at the Breakfast
Table, in this number. He describes charm
ing young girl, in a very delightful manner !;
and he fuses up Phrenology in less than two
pages, better than ii was ever used up before
Yet DIR. Holmes, master Of Anglo-Saxon az
he is, should have known better than to use
such an outlandish, New England, ungramm-
atical phrase as Feels Of thorax and arm. -
Again, DIR. Holmes says, AT last comes along
case which is apparently settler, for there
is little brain with vast and varied powers,
case like that Of Byron, for instance -
Here he errs, and upon what he ought to
have Ano~n. Moore, in MS life upon Byron,
notices the unusual smallness OF his head
but in bis Own Diary, Little 4 Browns

after Byron's funeral, that sthe braine
weighed third or fourth more than usual. .

1t is understood that Gov. Grimes is short
ly to take the stump, and it is also under
stood that MIR. Henry Clay Dean will meet

his friends together son the sly,' Democrats

We advised the Democracy to honor and
reward Rev. II. G. Dean with nomination
for Governor, but it seems they preferred to
hold him in reserve as their candidate fol-
United States Senator, and the first step il
the programme 10 announced above. This
may be very acceptable to d. as an ndica-
tlon Of the "kind intentions" OF the Democ.
racy, but he will probably have time te
"chapge his coat" half-doxen times more
before the programme is played out, and be
elected Senator. In the meantime be may
hare leisure to learn something of the fore,

fTIt is now quite certain that the crops
this year will be abundant beyond oil prece-
cedent. This being settled, the next ques-
tion il, "What prices will the various pro-
ducts fetch 20 Wheat and -four have already
receded from the high speculative war pri-
ces, and are still tending downwards. And
it is generally admitted that wheat, corn,
hay, potatoes, and almost every thing that
the farmer raises, will 60 down to SO low q
figure that it will not pay to transport them
over twenty or thirty miles to market, or to
railroad. We shall not be surprised at this
result. 1t is the natural and legitimate ef-
feet Of that national policy which prefers
foreign labor TO our own, and discriminates
in favor of foreign products against home
products. This system has at last broken
down, to very great extent, home manufac-
lures, and thrown thousands of people out Of
employment in that line. Hence they have
been compelled to divert their attention to
the culture of the earth and the production
of raw materials, and thus this branch Of in
dustry is overdone, and an immense surplus,
with very low prices, is the consequence.
And, in the absence of some disturbing
cause, like the discovery of another CaIifor-
MIA, We shall have to endure. low wages, low
prices, and dull trade We shall have to see
crops rotting on the ground; we shall have
to witness the melancholy spectacle Of able
bodied men with willing hands going q beg
ging for work that they may earn the pit
tance wherewith to keep soul and body to-
gesher, while capital is being boarded up in
ever-increasing, but useless, piles in the
hands Of distrustful men, until our Govern
ment shall be wise enough to change our rev.
enue system and make it discriminate in ia
vor Of home industry.
Let the people ponder this truth, and re-
member, also, that the policy which has
brought us to this condition has been forced
upon the country by the Slave Power--not,
perhaps, in the hope that it would benefit the
South directly, but with the view Of Grip
ping and paralyzing the industry OF the
North.
