Our National Administration.

The Cincinnati Commercial of the 4th in
slant, thus sums up Mr.. Buchanans achieve
ments for himself, his party, and his country,
during the half of his administrations
This day is the halfway point, in time, of
the present Administration. Mr.. Buchanan
has been in power two years, and has two
years to serve The character of the Admin
istration is fixed, and its;power is gone. The
Congress, a majority of which was elected on
the same platform with the, President, is no
more In the election of the next Congress,
the nation has already pronounced against the
Chief Magistrate, while so thorough is the de-
moralization of the party, the triumph of which
was consummated two years since, that it's
official head rejoices to be rid of the legislative
bodies, majoritics in which were expected to
serve him in the name of the party, and de-
clares that he would prefer the tender mercies
of his political enemies to the cold charities of
his friends. The general characteristics and
great facts of Mr.. Buchanan's Administration
thus far, have been an immensity of preten-
sion and littleness of performance in all fair
and honest business, an amazing pains-taking
and eminent success in self elf-stultificaton-a
war for the benefit of the army contractors,
and combined with comprehensive system of
extravaganza which has bankrupted the Trea-
sury, and added largely to the national debt;
and last and not least, resolute consisten-
cy in pursuing the policy Of neglecting friends
and buying enemies, which taken in connec-
ton with the formation of partisan tests for
the North, and neglect to coerce the South,
under party discipline, even when the provo
cation has been very great, has destroyed all
the substance and shadow Of principle in the
Democratic party, and finally SO sectionalized
it, that it's case is held to be hopeless In half
of his term, Mr. Buchanan has exhausted his
patronage, lost the respect of the people, and
slaughtered his party. 1t is to be hoped that
in the equal space of time remaining, he will
not be able to divide his country as he has his
party, or to impair the influence and respect
ability of the Union among the nations of the
earth as he has the character of his high of.
fee in the estimation of his fellow citizens.

st. Clair Flats.

The President, it is said, has withheld his
signature from the bill passed by Congress
appropriating $4,000 for deepening the chan
mel OF the St Clair Flats. Did any person
ever know such a President, or dream of such
agovernment as this has been metamorphosed
into? If by any accident or fortunate COM
bination of circumstances bill possessing
some little merit gets through Congress, the
President can be relied on to stop it without
fail. The very spirit of perverse wckedness
seems to have taken possession of the govern
ment, and under its influence it is only neces-
sary that bill should possess some positive
advantage and good to the people, to insure
its prompt veto. Of course, no plea of pov-
erty can be set up as an excuse for vetoing
this bill, for the administration has been urg-
ing with all its strength bill appropriating
$50, 900, 900 to negotiate for Cuba. Millions
for slavery, but not one cent for anything else,
is the motto of modern Democracy. Nothing
is constitutional but slavery. Miloaukee

Begging for the Dead Mans Shoes.

No sooner does an Office holder die, either
to Office alone Or; to the world as well, than a
host of hungry applicants rush forward and
fight over the dead mans official shoes with
the vigor and ferocity of a pack of hounds over
piece of stolen beef The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia North Anaeri-
can says: .-.... .-.
Startled as this community has been by a
tragic event which has carried sorrow to many
hearts and homes, still the keen pursuit of Of
flee was by no means checked, in the midst of
the gloom which yet seems to hang like cur
tain over the bright face of Spring. The Pres
ident was beset by applications for the vacant
District Attorneyship here early yesterday
morning, and has been pursued ever since by
the friends of various aspirants. When this
office was conferred upon Mr.. Key as a spe-
cial concession to Judge Taney, Mr.. Ould, of
Georgetown, was much pressed by Mr.. Bright
"a connection-Mr. Slidell and Mr.. Benja-
min. The President then intimated that, but
for the peculiar circumstances attending Mr..
Key, he would have appointed the competitor
so urged. This is now considered an alterna-
tive promise, and hence Mr.. Ould is most
prominent, though other candidates are back
ed with much zeal and interest. Mr.. Buchan-
an takes his time about such matters, and acts
rather upon calculation than impulse. In fact,
he is not disturbed by many impulses, and
never has been accused of mistaken gener-
osity. o.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
says that Ould has obtained the appointment.

The Reciprocity Treaty.

At the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce, on Thursday morning, some resolu-
tons were passed which were not furnished
this paper, as they were to the other dailies.
We give them, nevertheless, as we find them
in cotemdorary's columns:
Resolped, That the Chamber regret to no
tice that the geographical and commercial af
fnities between Minnesota and the navigable
rivers of Central British America are repre-
sented in some quarters especially in late
number of the Edinburg Reviews an OBJ
lection to the organization Of the Province of
the Saskatchewan.
Resolued, That the intercourse between
Canada and the United States, illustrates the
important fact, that just in the degree that
barriers to commercial intercourse have been
removed, the spirit of aggression from the
American States has subsided and the loyalty
of the Canadian people to the Home Govern
ment has increased.
Resolced, That the Reciprocity Treaty
should be Immediately extended to the Paci-
fic .flnd that the people of Minnesota are
opposed to any proposition. to annul or impair
its terms:
-Resolued, That the Chamber urge the en-
actment of special law of Congress Gin alb
sence of general revision of the navigation
acts) admitting all British and Canadian trad.
ing vessels, navigating the Red River of the
North and Lake Winnipeg, to the rights Of
| American vessels.
Rssozoed, That the President of the Cham
Der be requested to communicate these reso
lutions, through the Board of Trade of tn,
city of Toronto, to the Canadian and Enelisl
public and to- invite their cooperation il
measures for the reciprocal navigation anc
commerce of the vast and fertile district
which constitute the Winnipeg basin of Nortl

The Broken Household.

Little Willie is dead |! Step lightly as you
cross the threshold, for sorrow has found en-
trance there, and nought but gentleness
should greet her. There are stricken hearts
there, and as they look back a few short
months, they remember how they were glad
dened by the merry voice and sparkling eye
of the little prattler; and how often they
dreamed of bright future for him but it is
all over with now, and from that broken
household comes the wall of anguish as they
look for the last time on the little form lying
so still IN the cold embrace of death.
There will come hours of loneliness, when
they will miss even more keenly than now,
the presence of one who came like a ray Of
sunshine to their hearth, and then vanished.
Oh ye who have never lost loved one,-ye
who can gather them all round you ard say,
not one link is gone which. binds together
the home circle" We can not measure the
depth of wo which wrings those loving
hearts till the destroyer comes in your midst.
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in
thy sight" The man Of God sought to bring
consolation to those bereaved ones, but it was
hard in that hour to learn the lesson of sub
mission Can you not say thus 2'' he ask
ed, as he mingled his tears with theirs: 'Lit
tie Willie is free from earth's trials, is it moi
sweet to feel that one Of your household is ir
heaven ?''
! All! the darkest cloud may have a silve,
lining, and their hearts are thrilled with JOY
as they remember that they shall meet agail
| in a land where all tears shall be wiped away
In heaven the household band may be reu
nited, and the chain never more be broken

The Flood at Louisville.

The high water has done great deal of
damage to private and public property. In
some of the houses the floors have been raised
and even torn up, and the walls injured. The
footwalks on Third Street bridge will have to
be repaired. The water is too high to ascer-
tain whether the new sewer at the mouth of
Beargrass has received any damage.
The cellars are yet full of water, and per-
SONS cahnost be too careful in walking along
Water Street, especially after night The
doors over some of them are not very secure.
The cellars in the vacant lots on Fifth and
Water Streets are full of water, and there is
no barrier around them.
The covering Of the pump at the foot Of the
alley between Third and Fourth Streets is torn
of, and it is full of water.7-s.aG n rc-aE
The high wind which has prevailed will dry
the sediment left by the river in the streets
and alleys very quickly, and the Street In
spectors should set large force at once to
remove it. The gas lights on Strader's wharf
should be Immediately replaced, as the bridges
are in bad condition, and large number of
boats make their landing at that wharf.-Lou-
isville Journal.

Ella Burns.

Is the name of an infant phenomenon"
astonishing the New York public at the pre-
sentitime. She is but four years, old and has
been taken to the Metropolis by her mother,
a Cincinnati widow lady in Strengthened cir
cumstances, with the hope that her extraor-
binary talent may be turned to accountin pro-
viding means for her education. The Post
says:
She recites poetry not only with great pro
priety of emphasis but great feeling, passing
from the spirited to the plaintive and pathetic
with as perfect judgment as if she were
twenty years older. Her enunciation is re-
markably perfect and distinct, and she makes
herself heard at great distance, and in
crowded room. We heard her in dialogue
| from Shakespeare's Romeo and eJuliet-she
taking the part of Juliet and her mother
reading the part of Romeo-in which she
gave the tenderness and innocent coquetry of
the maid of Verona with an effect which
seemed perIously preternatural. In another
scene from comedy, representing the quar-
rel between wife and a husband, she recited
the part of the wife, pleased and satisfied at
first, and afterwards captious and angry, with
| equal spirit. ..-- ,...
This little wonder is said to have learned to
| read without having ever learned to spell. 1t
was found that she had taught herself during
her walks in the streets of Cincinnati, by
asking what were the words on the signs
which she saw; and having once learned to
call them rightly there she afterwards read
them accurately from books. In reading from
a book which she never before saw before, the
justness of her emphasis is surprising, as well
as the aexibility Of her intonations, adapting
them to the feeling expressed. She prefers
poetry to prose, probably because poetr5
makes less use of abstruse terms. When not
engaged in reading or reciting, her behavior is
childlike and playful, like that Of other child.
rem of her age. .--l----.----

A Horse AnecdOtc.

A Canadian friend of ours was telling us
the other day how he managed to break a IA
vorite horse of his of one trick, that of break
ing his halter whenever he was fastened in the
stable. Our friend placed the animal in ques-
ton in stable that stood exactly on the edge
of high bluff some thirty feet above the ST.
Lawrence. AS usual, so soon as he was left
alone, our pony broke halter, backed out of
the stable door, and, as necessary conse-
quence, tumbled heels over head into the river.
disappeared below the surface with the impe.
tus and gravitation of his fall. He was next
seen swimming for dear life, and heading in
shore. He landed in a dripping condition, and
was easily secured. Doubtless he pondered
gravely over the lesson, for ever afterwards
he never made the slightest attempt to break
his halter. The philosophy of dealing with
horses, and perhaps with nobler animals, is to
fight them with their own weapons, to let
them be punished by their own vices IF
If your pony has trick of backing, back
him quarter of a mile; if he stops tie him
fast to the place from twelve to twenty-four
hours, without food or water, and he will be
glad to obey you when you next call onShiln.
