CONDITION OF THE TREAsURY.-The figures at
the Treasury Department tend to show that the
Treasury is slowly recovering from its paralysis
Secretary Cobb, in his estimates of revenue fo.
the current fiscal year, sent in to Congress las :
winter, put the total revenue from customs at
SIS 600, ,OO0 The indications at present are that
they will amount to S62,5OO,O0O. He has ac-
eordingly determined that no Treasury notes
falling due after June 30th next, will need TO be
renewed. The Secretarys tables for 1860, as
revised up to the present time, it is estimated
will leave surplus on hand on the 18th of June
next of Sl3, 750 900, ont of which, however, the
large debts accruing for postal and other SER
vice, which Congress failed to appropriate for
last year. mnst be paid.

He's coming, the blushing rose
Whispers it low to me,
And the starlight hastens with It,
Over the twilight sea.
All trembling the zephyrs tell me,
On light winds hurrying past,
And my own heart quickly beating,
Coming, coming at last.
The soft-lipped waves of the ocan,
Gathering at my feet,
Breeze-born from the coral islands,
Murmer the secret sweet.
There's not dew-steeped blossom
Or glistening orange tree,
But furnish its leaves glee-laden,
To breathe this joy to me.
List that is the sound of rowing
Stealing along the air,
l must gather round my temples
This weight of braided hair;
And trust to glowing darkness,
And evening shadows dim,
To hide with their wings the traces
OF tears I've shed for him.

How TECUMsEH WAS kILLED.-The Western
Christian AdUocate contains an obituary notice
by Rev. A Wright, of the Indiana Methodist
Episcopal Church, of Isaac Hamblin Sr., who
died at his residence near Bloomfield, Ia, few
months since, aged about eighty-six years.
Hamblin of deep piety and unques-
tionable veracity. He was in the battle of the
Thames, and the writer gives the following as
his statement in regard to the manner in which
Tecumseh was killed
He says he was standing but few feet from
Colonel johnson when he fell, and in full view,
and saw the whole of that part of the battle
He was well acquainted with Tecumseh, having
seen him before the war, and having been a
prisoner seventeen days, and receiving many a
cursing from him. He thinks that Tecumseh
thought Johnson was Harrison, as he often heard
the chief swear that he would have Harrison's
scalp, and seemed to have a special hatred to-
wards him. Johnson's horse fell under him, he
himself being also deeply wounded; in the fall
he lost his sword, his large pistols were empty,
and he was entangled with his horse on the
ground. Tecumseh had fired his rifle at him,
and when he saw him fall he threw down his
gun and bounded forward like a tiger sure of his
prey. Johnson had only pistol ready for use.
He aimed at the chief over the head ofhis horse,
and shot near the center of his forehead. When
the ball struck it seemed to him that the Indian
jumped with his head full fifteen feet into the
air. As soon as he struck the ground little
Frenchmau ran his bayonet into him and pinned
him fast to the ground.

ANOTHER New FLYING MAcHINE.-They have
another flying machine out West, invented by D.
NJ Cook, of Mansfield, Ohio. He publishes his
card to the public, in which he promises here
after to perform some astounding feats. He says
I am now engaged in the construction of a
house to carry and complete my great design
the air ship-and hope, by the spring of 1860,
to have my favorite model 1rial car, Queen Of
ne Air, perfected. BY this invention | expect
to navigate the air at will with an inconceivable
velocity The car will be twelve feet long and
four and half feet in its equatorial diameter,
and of a true pointed ellipse; and will be eleva-
ted, propelled, and directed solely by the force
of the electric engine, without hydrogen gas,
steam, fans, or rudders. | confidently expect to
finish my experiment during the coming winter;
and next summer, if successful will make a
voyage to San Francisco, breakfasting here,
dining there, and returning the same day for
supper, making the entire trip in about twelve
hours Such is the kind of motor agency which
has occupied my attention As to its feasibility,

SHASTA COURI Err.
Can w. H. seward be Elected President.

A Republican correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune thinks not. He gives the reasons for
the belief that is in him, thus:
Suppose Mr. Seward nominated, how is he
going to be eleeted2 What assurance have we
that the 81 ,444 Americans in Illinois, who voted
for Fillmore in 1856, will support the man whom,
of all the Republicans, they hate the most p
What guarantee is there that the 81, 202 Fill
more votes in Pennsylvania will be cast for
Seward-eyery one of which would be needed
to carry the Keystone State Who believes that
the %, 1888 Fillmore Wings of Indiana, or the
24,lf5 friends of Fillmore in New Jersey, will
conquer their prejudices and march up to the
polls en- mGSse and deposit their votes tor w ID.
Seward? Now, without the votes of these men,
Seward could no more carry either OF these TOUR
States than he can escape death. And how are
the Republicans to elect President unless they
receive their electoral votes? Are the Roman
Catholics going to make good the loss OF Pro-
testant support VIII they feel so grateful to
Seward for his past efforts to divide the common
school fund with them as to vote for him in
body. Not bit of it. 1t is idle TO believe it.
Too ULTRA.-The Republican Convention in
the State of New York, took exceedingly ultra
grounds upon the slavery question. The con-
sequence lSi say IL correspondent VI tne N0ttoH-
al InteIHgencer, that "it is now certain that
thousands and tens of thousands of conservative
men, though opposed to the Democracy, will
not identify themselves with party taking such
extreme grounds as the Convention has taken"
A JAPANESE ELoPEMENT.-A correspondent of
The London Post tell of japanese girl who, in
spite of the laws prohibiting emigration, left by
stealth for Shanghae, under the persuasion of Il
Frenchman. The owners of the steamer sent
her back to Japan. On arriving, the vessel was
boarded at once by couple of officials, who af-
fected to ignore her presence until the formali-
ties were completed, and then took her into
custody. The poor thing struggled against her
fate in vain. She was landed, and condemned
to death, together with all her relatives, and
some officer officers who ought to have pre-
vented her escape.
The said owners of the steamer" are deserv-
ing of immortal infamy. The Frenchman de-
serves chopping into very small pieces with q
very dull knife, if he does not hire some Thug to
slay them-in the dark, while they are asleep,
by stabbing in the back, any way so that they
are given no more chance than they gave the
poor love-stricken japanese maiden.

their words are the constant subject Of con-
versation. During It o fight at Palestro, a
certain detached body of Zouaves, which
had to pass through several deep and mud
dy canals in their impstuous charge on the
enemy's artillery. found their heetnss more
impeded by the weight Of their immense
trousers soaked with water aud mud, than
by the balls Of the enemy's guns. 8
To disembarrass themselves of this was
but the work Of moment, aud thus the
Zouaves appeared on the field with Alag

BY the Austrians as demand for quarters,

Fashion kills more women than toll and

They are only doll forms in the hands Of

instruct nobody; they bless nobody. They
write no books; they set no rich examples
