Ruchnnan Among the Ladies.

An article is going the rounds Of the pa
pers about rebuff administered to Mr.
Buchanan by a lady at Bedford Springs
which, though founded on fact, is spoiled
in the telling. The correct version, as told
us by a Bedford Gentleman, is this: One
evening when large company were as
sembled in the drawing room at the hotel,
desire was expressed to hear Mrs. -
sing, and she was asked, but without sue
cess. The President who in his dotage
has acquired the idea that he is irresistible
with tho ladies, then volunteered bis pow.
ers of persuation. He went to the piazza
and asked tho lady to favor the company
and himself. She replied, GAN the singing
she should do that evening would be to put
her children to sleep" Mr.. Buchanan ur
gently insisted again that she should com,
ply with his request, adding that the com
pany would be very much disappointed il
she persisted in her refusal. The lady care
lessly and unthinkingly replied thatit would
not be the first time that greatexpectation
had been disappointed. The random sho
was so palpablo a hit that the Presideu
took it to heart. This, with the loss of
likely coIored girl by charming Soutberl
widow who went in his train, was so afflic
tive dispcnsation that the excellent mai
shortened his visit and shook off the dust o
his feet against the Bcdforditcs.--O. S

SIGNIFICANT CHANGE OF NAME,-The
history Of the Democratic party can be read
in the names Of its chief organ, At first
it was the Globe, and concerned itself with
the welfare of universal humanity. Then it
became the Union, and devoted itself only
to the United States. Now il is the Con
stitHtion, which is so interpreted as to leave
more than half the country out of the con
sideration of the government It's next
name will probably be the Adminislration
when it will have 10 make but one more
change to become extinct, like its namesake
-Bosfon Tran.

ANEcDoTE OF Hon. WIN. DEEEIsoE--
The Portsmouth Republican tells pleasing
snecdote of our present candidate for Gov
ernor. He was addressing large crowd up
north, in which was fair proportion of la
dies. He had spoken beyond the limits
assigned by himself, and turning to clock
in the further end of the hall, remarked that
the time had passed by so feetly that he
was afraid of taxing the patience of his audi
ence. $50 Oh, go on" was heard from ey-
cry part of tho house, until the speaker pro-
ceeded. At this moment, when everything
was still, pretty lady arose in the audience,
took off a thick veil, and quietly walked to
tho clock and covered up the dial plate.

EARTHQUAKE AT FAYAL-A correspon-
dent of the Salem Gosette gives the follow
ing account Of earthquake shocks in Fayal /:
"0n the 25th of May, about IL o'clock P.
NJ, we had three shocks of an earthquake.
The first was sufficient TO shake the house
slightly; about three minutes after another
shock Jared everything in the house, and
in moment the third shook the house so
that we thought it would go over. They
lasted very short time-sufficiently long,
howevor,to frighteu us half out of our senses.
Some of the people got out of their beds,
and went into the gardens in their night
clothes, and put up tents to sleep in, which
they occupied several nights, thinking that
if they got out of the way of the houses
they wera safe. Our houses are all built of
stone and are very strong; if they were con-
structed as they are in the United States,
they would all have been destroyed. Since
this earthquake we have had very cool
weather--about as cool as we lin Fayal)
have it in January"

DESTRUCTION OF Cry BY AN EARTH
oUAKE.--The English papers received
by the -EtRa announce the entire do
struction Of the ancient city Erzroom, in
Turkey, by repeated shocks Of earthquake
within the last three months. The first
earthquake occurred Jupe 1st, and letter
from one of the missoparies Of tho Ameri-
can Board gives description Of the first
great shock. He says:
"The first shock, which was not very Sc
we're, was felt about eight o'clock A. NJ,
June l, and at ten o'clock A. M. tho follow
ing day, came the fearful earthquake, which
laid in ruins two thousand houses, nearly
destroying fifteen hundred more, aud injur-
ing twelve hundred Others; leaving accord
ing TO the account of Turkish officials, over
800 houses unharmed; but / do not be-
lieve that there are one hundred houses in
Erzroom as sound as they were before the
earthquake. The shock was not only felt
throughout the city, but tho villages on tho
plain, and even at Hassan- Kallah, twenty
miles to the east.
According TO official returns, three hun
dred and eighty dead bodies have been TAX
en- out Of the ruins, about two hundred
arc wounded, and sixty are missing. The
heavy shock which did the mischief, is said
to have continued about eight seconds, and
it was followed by three Others, on the same
day, less severe. Shocks, more or less Sc
we're, were also felt at intervals, during eight
consecutive days, since when there has been
perfect quiet, and the work Of building and
repairing is now going on as rapidly as pos
sibIe.
at is a singular fact that the destruction
was almost entirely confined TO tho Moslem
quarter of the city, and only twelve Christ
tians lost their lives. None Of our Protes-
tant friends are injured, though several bare
ly escaped with life. One woman, sister OF
our native preacher, B. Hohannes, feeling
the waving to and fro Of the house, seized
her two little children, and escaped in time
to see the roof and wall come down with q
crash where she had been sitting. Part Of
another house adjoining ours, was crushed
but no one was harmed. The two mission.
houses were injured, but not very seriously"

PHYSICAL BENEFIT OF THE SABBArH.---
The Sabbath is Gods special present TO tho
working man, and one Of its chief objects
is to prolong his life, and preserve efficient
bis working tone. In the vital system IL
acts like a compensation pond; It replen-
ishes the spirits, the elasticity and vigor
which the last six have drained away, and
supplies the force which is to fill the six
days succeeding; and, in the economy of
existence, it answers the same purpose as,
the economy of income is answered bya
savings bank. Tho frugal man puts away
a pound to-day, and another pound next
month, and who in quiet way, is putting
by his stated pound from time to time,
when he grows old and frail, gets not only
the same pound back again, but good
many pounds besides. And for the con-
scientious man, who husbands one day of
his existence every week-who, instead Of
allowing the Sabbath to be trampled and
torn in the hurry and scramble of life, treas
ures it dcvoutly up-the Lord Of the Sab
bath keeps it, and, in the length of days,
the hale old age gives it back with usury.
The savings bank of human existence is the
weekly Sabbath.-Nortk British Revieg0.

CorwIn and popular Sovereignty.


Tom. Corwin has recently been making
a powerful speech at Irontou, Ohio. Ii
contains frequent specimens Of his humol
and of his oratoric fire. We quote two.-
After discussing squatter sovereignty, be
thus refers to its champion:
"Douglas is a respectable gentleman, and
a man of considerable talent; so am
(laughter;) but l differ with him on thai
point, and l have the advantage ofstandine
by the side of Washington, who put hi:
hand upon my head and said, "My son you
are right" and laid his hand upon Steph
ems bead and said, you must 90 TO school.
That is what Washington, Jefferson, Madi
son, Monroe, jackson and Calhoun would
say, too. While / am in company like that
/ am content to remain"
He thus disposes of the Democratic pre-
text for filibustering to get Cuba;
"You say that you extend the area o
freedom. That is like this to make mai
free, you put pistol to his head and blow
out his brains, You call the previous ques
tion, and take the vote with saltpetre anC
lead. That is what you mean to do will
Cuba, and God Almighty will smite you a
he did tho whited wall" rt

How little rocks II where men lie,
When once the moment past,
In Which the dim and glazing eyo
Has looked on earth it's last
Whether beneath the sculptured urn,
The cofhn form shall rest,
Or, in its nakedness return
Back to Its mothers breast.
Death Is common friend orfoe,
As different men may hold;
And at its summons each must GO

But when the spirit free and warm,
Deserts II, as II must;
What matter whore the ifeless form
Dissoves itself TO dustl
The soldier FALLS mid corpscs piled,
Upon the battle plain
Where restless war steeds gallop Wild,
Above the mangled slain;
But though his corpse be dim soc,
How tTampled on the sod,
What wrecks it. when the spirit free
Has SCARED aloftto God
The coward's dying eyes may close
Upon his dowuy bed,
And softest hands his limbs compose,
Or garments DER them spread.

Where fall the mnntled brave,

And see him--in his grave
'Twere sweet, indeed, to close eyes

DEATH FROM SKIENIEG A RATTLEsSkKE.
Some weeks since, Mr.. Stalter, of Sloats-
burgh, Rockland county, killed large rat
tlosnake, which he carefully skinned. Some
time afterwards, he accidentally cut his
thumb with the knife he had used for the
purpose, when his hand and arm began to
swell. The family sent for physician,
who, not being informed of the facts of the
case, prescribed for the swelling and left.
Ms. Stalter daily became worse, when tho
physician was again sent for, but found the
unfortunate man past medical aid. Before
he died his body was covered with liyid
spots, resembling those of the snake he had
killed.

CHLoRoFoRM.-It is officially reported to
the Emperor of tho French that choroform
was used in 10000 surgical operations in the
Crimea by skilled assistant-surgeons, with
out single death a similar success has fol-
lowed its administration at Solferino and
Magenta; but in English hospitals there
have been about 100 deaths in one-third Of
this number of operations in the Crimea.
The London deaths from ehloroform begin
to be so common that coroner's inquests are
rarely called for. Everything depends on
the mode Of administration.

No where in the whole United States is
the cause Of freedom more prosperous than
in the slave-holding state Of Missouri
Massachusetts, could take anti-slayery les
sons from Missouri; for the former does not
favor interfering with slavery where il now
exists, while the latter openly advocates di-
rect emancipation. A correspondent Of the
st. Louis Democrat writes from Gentry
county, Missouri, that the county can furnish
moro emancipationists than any other north
Of the Missouri, and that in the course Of
five years they can elect their candidates
with ease. Three years ago no one dared
utter word in opposition to slavery; now
it is boldly denounced as the greatest Of
curses. There are not more than two or
three hundred slaves in the whole county,
which is almost as large as the state Of
Rhode Island.

FEMALE SLAVERY IN EEsLAED.-A fe-
male domestic in England lately gave no
tice to her ma ster that she was about to
leave him to be married. Her master re-
fused to accept her notice, but in spite of
his refusal she went of and got married.
The master then obtained the services Of an
officer who arrested the delinquent and car
ried her before magistrate. The official
sentenced her to pay fine Of 81 and to
return to the service Of her master, and the
sentence was put into immediate execution.
