JUST LIKE HER.-The following in rela-
ton to Fanny KenlbIey is copied from New
York paper:
A committee of ladies from the Mount
Vernon Association waited upon the lady at
her apartments in the St. Dennis Hotel, to
solicit the proceeds of one of her Shakspear-
ian readings, in aid of the Monument Fund
The case was very deliberately stated BY the
chairman of the committee, and "the last of
the Kembles," after hearing all that was
to be heard, drew herself up to the entire
longitude of her magnificent proportions, and
said, with frowu,
"Ladies, respect your motives, but have
no liberation for the means you are resortng
to to perpetuate the memory of George
Washington. If your country is too poor,
or too mean, or too uugrateful to take upon
itself, through the National Legislature, so
obvious duty, better that Mount Vernon
be sold for cattle market than that it
should be purchased by the proceeds of
charity balls, fash newspapers and quack
doctors. My humble abilities are at your
service, but with the proviso that, whatever
amount of money they may yield, it shall be
presented to Congress as the first donation
to enable them to discharge duty, which
ought to be discharged by them or not at
lall."

ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION
Hayes, the companion of Dr. Kane in
his Arctic Explorations, hopes to be able
to start another expedition to the open
polar sea by 1860 Heis confident Of
an abundance of whales in the polar
sea, and that they will be accessible to
the whalemen as soon as the route is
properly explored.
In this opinion he is confirmed by
Prof. Agassiz, who remarks that the or
ganization of these huge inhabitants of
the ocean furnishes direct proof that
there is an open sea in the Arctics. The
whales are warm-blooded air-breathing
must come to the surface to
breathe. They cannot do without it.
Now it is we'll known that during the
winter they are not found outside-that
is, to the south Of the ice belt of the
Arctic seas. They retreat northward
during the cold season, and if the whole
expanse of the Arctic sea was covered
with ice, they would necessarily perish
during the winter.

FREEMAsoNs IN BUENos AYREs.-
The quarrel of the Catholic Church
against the Freemasons in Buenos Ayres
originated in the order of the Catholic
Bishop closing a church against Ma
sonic funeral. The result has been an
open rupture between the Masons, who
are generally Catholics, and who include
most of the intelligent and influential
classes, and the hierarchy, and the pros
pect is that it will end in the entire sep
aration of the church and state, and the
placing Of the Catholic church on a foot
ing with other denominations. So the
interference of the Bishop is likely to
accomplish good work, as such things
always do in time.

WASHINGTON TEMpER.-''IIe had
great power of wrath. Inheriting the
high, quick temper of his mother, in
youth he was "sudden and quick in
quarrel" in middle life his wrath was
tremendous, sometimes getting vent in
words, sometimes in blows. He never
1overcame this. Jefferson tells us of an
occasion when the President was much
infamed, and got into one Of those fits
of passion, and called certain man

called him )-and said, 'By = [ had
rather be in my grave than in my pres

SHIPPED him in public, and led him behind
the scenes, complains that in the latter
years of the revolutionary war, his tenn
per greatly offended the officers. There
are some men who find great fault with
Washington for this. | do not love a
man for losing his temper; but [ have
lived too long, and seen too many men,
to suppose that when men fire can
non, they dip their pope's head in holy
water to swab them out, and utter bene-
dietions before touching off their piece !!
It is with great passions that men fight
great wars and when | find a great man,
