Female Understandings" that "the charms
which Nature, and her cunning handmade
Art, lavish upon the well-turned understand
ing of lovely woman viii not be lost to adj
hiring eyes. so long as muddy streets gener-
ously offer an apology for the charming
spect Gle" Hence, there is no danger that
the Gazdte's thirty-doli O-no-we-never-men-
tiou-'ems will be doomed to an unmerited OBJ
security. And now. if any lady is indignant
at the above remark, let her vent her indig-
nation upon my Lord BACON. who. confGen-
tally, was great rascal. We say to her as

The local Ne,cs is apprehensive that the
supply of ale will give out which, TO bin. be-
leving as he does, with the old English poet,

would be a calamity to dwarf into nothing
ness war, food, fire or famine. Under this
unutterable apprehension, he comes out with
the full strength of his genius aud calls upon
the country to fall into the cultivation OF
barley. But really. we don't know that the
local herein above mentioned ever touched a
glass of ale to his lips since he was AN infant,
(Which is quite long enough for him to have
forgotten the taste of the bevcrage;) yet
when an individual turns from the innumer-
able fit subjects for fine writing with which
the very atmosphere around ms is dense, and
branches off on such an obscure subject as
the cultivation of barley, we can't help think
ing that il looks suspicious. Such. too, we
are authorized to say, is the opinion of this
community at large. The local Netcs an
nounced that last night was Mr.. ANDERsoN's
benefit when he would appear in two pieces"
Whether Mr.. A did thus appear. and whether
the two pieces were put together again so as
not to mar his personal appearance, we have
not been able to find out. But it is very
likely. Since BLoNDIN walked the rope at
Niagara, the Kentucky Snowman stuck his
flesh full of pins without iinching, and the
Michigan father of pair of twins seized him
self by the coat-collar and held himself out
at arm's-length in the exuberance OF his de-
light are inclined to believe that, with
plenty of perseverance, man can do any
thing with himself he pleases.
The Union has a leader summing up "The
Signs of the Times.' Whether the article
has reference to the projecting signs which
the city authorities recently compelled the
business men of Nashville to take down and
convert into kindling wood or nail fiat
fhs. In ut bcr M
signs of these progressive times, the Cry
Press. not having read it, can merely COMIC
ture. The Uaion says that at a late Adolf
ton meeting in fremont Temple, Boston,
held for the purpose of expressing sympathy
for old JOIN BRowN, the rostrum was
adorned with the standard and coat of arms
of Virginia, draped in black. The Old
Dominion seems 10 be in rather bad odor
among the negro aud colored white pnpula-
ton of the Mod I'm Athens since old Ossa-
wottomie diSiill her TO n j'lly with the
effects of fear, AMI got hung up for his pains.
The City of Notions and Ninkumpoops
ought Mt to blame Virginia. BHowN went
to Harper's Ferry 10 kick up a dust, and no
body can deny that Virginia sun red him to
go the full length of h- rope What more
could he have asked? But different people
take different views of things. The halos
which the North saw around the brow of old
JOHN Brown on the I'd inst, were merely a
gallows in the eyes of the people of the
South. But Virginia made q fool of herself
with the very efficient aid Of her aoise aud
active Governor, when she permitted herself
TO faint in lit of fright at the appearance
OF Old BRowN and his eighteen or twenty
ragged followers. The sheeted phautoms OF
GLosrER's guilty mind on the night before
the battle of Bosworih Field, did not brighten
the fsted tyrsnt more than did that handful
of madmen the Old Dominion.

The Cry Pass was once proud TO own
himself alineal descendent of the only second
family the Mother OF Presidents has ever yet
produced, or is likely to produce hereafter;
but untila generation whose conflicts of fear
and foolery are less irrepressible shall spring
up there, he shall own TO no place OF nativity

The Banner has an article three quarters

article that its subject is not the advantage

short, that is synonymous with no-advant-

pose. The Banner has also AN article on

(and the remark, like the weather about
Bolivar, is "plaasible,') ''if that amt the
