TuE FIasr GuN FOR THE GREAT EASTERN - The Portland Advertiser says:
 The residents in the eastern part of our city were disturbed early on Monday morning last by signal gun off the en- trance of our harbor Those having faith in the early appearance of the Great Eastern, arose, dressed, and ran to their house-tops and atiics, thinking the long expected steamer had come; others were iaithless, waiting snugly in bed for the second, which did not come. The gum proved to be a signal gun from the New York steamer, which left New York Sat- urday P. M., and arrived here about A. M., Monday. To those patient walters having charge of the Great Eastern sa- lute, we can only repeat Cromwell's ad- vice, "To trust in Providence, but keep theiE p0ander- aral

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE sIcKELs
CASE.

3 We published yesterday March 15) very
strange and very sad story from Washington.
With the recollection of Sir Creswell Cres-
wells clients before our eyes we are not about
to fly into paroxysms of virtuous indignation
because in the United States, as elsewhere wo-
man is sometimes frail, and man generally vim
dictive. Such things are of all ages and of
countries, and this Washington story about Mr..
and Mrs. Sickles and Mr.. Key might at any
given season find its counterpart in the scan
dalous chronicles of any of the European cap
itals-London included. It is true, indeed,
that the husbands vengeance was swift and
severe. Such is not the way in which such in
juries are resented in England; but, according
to the civilization of country, so is the fash
ion of its revenge. One nation uses stiletto,
another revolver, another an old flint gun, a
fourth barrister. We employ the fourth
weapon; in the United States the second comes
more famliarly to the hand of an outraged
husband. The remarkable part of this occur
renee, then, as far we are concerned, is the
form which the husbands vengeance assumed
Had such story as this happened in Eng
land, and had the husband in due course put
his case into the hands of the family solicitor,
and that useful parsonage, still in due course,
feed counsel and brought it before the Judge
Ordinary we should scarcely given the report
a second glance. Deny it who may, the truth
is that habit renders all persons but the imme-
diate family, friends and acquaintance of the
parties to such suits, profoundly Indifferent to
the matter. We can haidly say if equal apa-
thy exists on the other side of the Atlantic,
when injuries of this class are avenged in the
terrible fashion of this Washington tragedy.
At the first sight, the fact that an injured
husband at once rushes to the conclusion that
nothing but the blood of the adulterer can be
accepted as an expiation for his wrong, would
seem to argue higher conception of the mar
riage bond than the one which obtains among
ourselves We can not, however, at the same
time, forget that American hands are quick 20
shed blood for the injuries of far inferior
class to those of which we are speaking.

NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR PArReps.

The Boston Bee has some very sensible and
truthful remarks in describing what some peo-
pie expect of newspapers. A great portion of
community. it says, suppose that newspapers
can publish everything that occurs, far and
near, and this whether it refers to public or
private matters. Indeed, it has now come to
pas, that, in matters of a purely private and
personal nature, where a single Individual is to
be alone benefited, the custom prevails to trot
off to some one or all of the newspapers, to OBJ
tain "nolice." IF an individual has notion
in his head if he has made discovery or an
invention; if he has constructed machine, or
received a package of soots if he has become
possessed of some novel toy, bought calf with
two heads or five legs; he expects every news
paper is to open it's columns at any length and
enlighten the public on the same, simply be-
cause he s'is subscriber" or "buys the paper
every day" We agree entirely with the Bee
in saying that those things have arriv d at a
state when it is high time they were stopped.
If people want their private business or pleas
ure advertised, then let them pull out their
cash and pay for it; pay what and all it is
worth. 1t costs publishers money, and good
deal of it ; they pay cash down for everything
they have and use-for labor, paper, &c. and
it is only from those whom they Invariably ben
eft that they can obtain the means to meet
their outlay. q

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

The New Orleans Crescent in describing the
striking attitunes presented by the powers of
Europe, in the present warlike crisis of affairs
on that continent, thus sums up: "Sardinia is
wiry, spunky, fierce little fellow, 'raring and
charging to pitch into Austria, and only re-
strained by his big friend and hacker, France,
who is holding him off and coolly watching for
the best chance to turn the game little fellow
loose, with the admonition Go in, chicken !!
an I'll back you 7 Austria, bully big fellow;
but with not much stomach for the fairy, is
stripped for the fight, and standing on guard
ready to Withstand the onslaught of his fierce
little antagonist, whose powerful friend causes
him to feel little dubious, and to be shaky
about the pins. Prussia is in the unwilling at
titude of the hacker of Austria, willing to sneak
away out of the difficulty, but obliged to stand
by and see his friend through. England stands
rather on the French-Saadinian side, with
deprecatory -please-den' 't-do-it' attribute
and look, but really afraid to formally and en-
ergetically interfere. Italy is charging round,
obiectine strenuously to the ring being pitched
on his plantation, and wishing them to transfer
the million match to some other location. The
lesser mowers are down ON their knees, peeping
through the fence at the menhcing combatants,
in the nervous anticipation of the opening of
the ball Russia is lolling his Yitan form up
against the North pole, with a cigar in his
mouth and his fists in his breeches pockets,
like some retired Tom Hyer of the ring, look
ing on at the sport with the eye of profess
ional, and not caring red which whips so that
they make sharp and lively play. He has got
nothing staked on the result, and is only in
terested beoana it Is sort of fun that suits his
tastes"

THE DYING BEGGAR CHILD.


Oh clasp closer mother dear, still closer to your
Oh once more throw your arms, mother, around your
dying child;
The cruel. biting winter winds are whistling loud
And fear. and cold, and darkness are around me
every where.
When you told me was dying, you made me thank
For that a bright angel was waiting now for me,
To bear his golden wings up to my Savior s
Where. seated on his starry throne, he beckons me
to come.
But though you say the angel waits do not him
Though even while speak, methinks his silvery
voice hear, f--r 7-rz -
And in strains so low and musical, tells how happy
saints above
With Jesus wait to welcome me into their world of
love t-
But, mother, perhaps he's waiting out in the cold
night air, -r
And though it's but q moment more, he must not
wait out there; - s-f an, ,-..>
So open wide the door mother and haste to call him
And bring him close beside me, for my eyes are
very dim.
Heaven must be strangely happy, mother, for you
say that want and care,
And sorrow, cold and weariness can never enter
there, t-t4ifs1
That the agony we've often felt, the maddening
hunger pain,
That bowed down in helplessness, we ne'er shall
know again.
As soon e'er pass the gate and get to Jesus
throne,
Ill tell him how in this bleak world I've left yoa all
- alone -ft = ,--s g. s~
And how, when almost dying, you're forced to beg
for bread
The wealthy and the gay pass by with cold and
haughtier tread. t
And then, before his throne I'll knell and lifting up
my eyes,
III ask him please angel send to bring you to the
skies: .r
And hesso kind and good, mother. he'll send this
And there with him and happy ssints We both shall
live alway.
But, mother bark! tiie angels song is echoing loud
and clear.
And the music of ten thousand harps is breaking
my ear,
And, mother gee. their forms of light lowering
round my bed.
Aud one with wings outstretchcd bends low and
loEero er my head!
HGsinfat's form the mother seized, with will, de-
spairing cry.
While evenr then the angels bore its spirit TO the
sky; -
A mamont more, then back again upon the wings of
love
The angel few then bore Tire mothers sou. to join
her child above N. y. Observer.

posed that he has been connected with the
Portage county gang of counterfeiters for two
years. His assumed piety and position entire
iy eloaked his rescalities for while. 1t Is

AN EXTRAORDINARY Casa correspond
ent of the Stockton Republican, writing from
Loving Ferry, San Joaquin River, California,
relates the following extraordinary affair:
Mr.. Maloy, native of Kentucky, aged
about twenty-six years, who resides in this vi
cinity, and who served il Walkers first fill
clustering expedition, has been afflicted for
about twelve months with tumor in his left
breast, extending from the fourth rib to the col
lar bone 1t had the pulsation and all the
ether SYM ms of aneurism. For the last two
months his breathing had hecome so laborious
that life was burden to him. Last week DIR.
Riddle, of Bear Valley, made deep incision
in the lower part of the tumor, and after a pint
of thick, yellow matter was discharged, he sue
ceeded in extracting from the ineision musket
ball. 1t had entered from the back, little
below the shoulder blade. The most curious
circumstance in the case is, that the patient
has no idea in what battle he received the shot
He can only remember that at one time, in
Nicaragua, Inexperienced smarting, burning
sensation in his left shoulder; but, as he slept
on the saad in the open air, and had no change
of clothes for long time, he did not discover
the cause. The patient is rapidly recovering.

declaration, with more or less intensity of bit

of Fremont and Free Kansas, during that cam
paign; and although these and similar infa-
mously and >designedly false declarations were
believed hy very many well meaning, though

their purpose, and Mr.. buchanan was elected.

RSrSir, have said that Ohio is peculiarly
an agricultural State. With two millions and
a half of people, she has twenty-five millions of
acres twenty millions occupied by or attached
to farms; eleven millions actually cultivated !;
four hundred thousand land owners greater
number of farms and more tillable surface, pro-
portionally, than any State in the Union. The
cost value of her laud is 5000, 0,000, 900; her ag-
ricultural products worth S132 100000, equal
to the whole cotton crop of the South aud her
entire taxable property is S900,000,000. She
is the first wheat, the first wool, and the first
corn-growing State; the first wine-producing,
also; and, as my Cincinnati colleague will at
test, the foremost in the production Of swine.
Her animal PRO lucts, alone, equal 10000
900, and the value of her butter, poultry, and
eggs, would, OF itself, support half the State
governments of New England.
And yet, Ohio is part, and small part on
ly, of the great Mississippi valley, that most
wonderful of all the portions of the globe,
the very Garden of Eden, in the new creation

Cloyne, s'time's noblest empire 1.-THE seat, too,
