commander that ever lifted the sword, who
by'his tactics oulgeHeraled all Europe, had
strict regard to pieces which were played
by the soldiers on particular occasions
Certain tunes we're prohibited, others used
only under peculiar circumstances, and 9TH
ers used only for the final charge, retained,
perhaps, only to let loose with o reserved
corps; and, it is stated, on making the IA
Gus passage of the Alps, under circumstan-
ces the most appalling and dreadful, if the
soldiers at any time hesitated in their
march, he ordered the buglers to sound
their livelest notes; and if the obstacle
was SO great as to bring the army to a
dead halt, the whole band were ordered to
peal forth the charges to battle, which nev.

HOOPS.


Hoops on barrels, kegs and pals,
Hoops on boxes, tabs and bales,
Are articles Indispensable
But hoops as they puf out woman's dress,
Making the roman seem so much less,
Y Are things most indefensibc.
Qioop; when their stRrdy clasp confines,
In brown old casks the richest wines,
Are Objects Of ulmiration-
But hoops as part of womau's baggage,
Are like the whoops Of q painted savage,
vile abomination.
Hoops make useful pretty toys,
For active little girls and boys,
But hoops on woman gentle,
Are things to sneer at and to scoff,
And like the whoops Of whoopingcough,
Neither useful nor ornamental.
For while dear woman bones her skirts,
And with a SHELTON taunts and flirts,
She has so much to carry,
Man finds its hard with her to talk,
And harder still to sit or walk,
But-hardcst Of all to marry.
Tor when smittcn wretch has seen,
Among the lost In crinoline,
The one his heart holds dearer,
Oh what a chill to ardent passion,
To feel that thro' this hollow fashion,
He never can be nearer!

The Work OF THE SPINNING JENNA
century ago, the value Of all cotton goods
manufactured iu England was estimated at
920O, 900; aud when the spinning jenny
was invented in 1867, by Hargreaves, a
carpenter, the yearly exports of fabrics did
not exceed that sum. In 1858 the total
value Of the cotton manufactures exported,
including twist and yarn, amounted to 43
millions Of pounds sterling. A century
back the total valno of the textile fabrics
exported from the United Kingdom did not
amount 10 i've millions, while the value Of
such fabrics exported in 1858 exceed 60
millions. AT the beginning Of the present
century the quantity Of raw cotton i'm
ported into England was fifty millions
pounds weight. Tae quantity imported
had increased in 1850 to 663 millions, and
1858 to thousand millions of pounds
weight, of which the value exceeded 80
millions of pounds sterling.

THE OBJECT OF THE EMBASSY.

The object of this Embassy from Japan
to the United States, the first Embassy
ever sent from that country, is merely one
of amity between the two nations, and was
provided for by the articles of tue late
treaty. They do not appear to have any
powers Of Importance, aud it may be said
generally that their only object is to see
how the Americans will treat them. The
Ambassadors in this view are merely feel
ers of American hospitality, - several, il
not all of them, will make 1t Special point
to report to their government everything
that they see, all that is said, and all that
is done in their presence. The United
States pays all the expenses of the Embas
sy; but it is presumed that the outlay will
be more than compensated by the favora-
bic impression which will be produced upon
the minds of the Ambassadors, and the
glowing account which will be transmitted
TO Japan, OF the great people on the other
side of the globe. 1t is well known that
for centuries the exclusive trade of Japan

MrssRs. EDITORS: As requested, / will en-
dsavor to keep your readers advised of what
lie going on ut the Hawkeye Capital.
Last night the Republican members met in
caucus and agreed 80 elect Reuben Noble OF
Clayton, and MIR. Edgerton OF Lucas, State
Bank Directors or Commissioners, and to
supper. for the third man any person select
cd by the Democrats. Benson, Of Dubuque,
was chosen. The Democrats will also have
one representative Of the Free Banks
There il no disposition to connect banks and
politics together. The election takes place
next Tuesday.
The Code, the subject Of so much specu-
lation for two years, and lately Of favorable
and unfavorable comment, 10 now before the
Judiciary Committee. They meet every day
at three O'Clock, and sit until FIVE O'Clock.
Each Of the members takes chapter, exam
ines 1t critically, and presents any amend
menss that may seem proper.
There is a disposition to overhaul it and
deprive it of every Objectionable feature
The chief objections are, LIST, to the verbos-
isy,-too many words being employed to ex-
press the meaning. I'd, to the burdens i'm
posed on lawyers, copies of oil pleadings
being required to be furnished to the eppo-
site party. Sd. The employment of huge,
ponderous words, and new and unusual
phrases, instead Of the plainest, simplest,
best understood English. There are many
objections to the details, but they can readi-
ly be removed. Altogether, the Code 10 an
improvement on the old one, and it is but
fair to infer that it will become the law of
the land within the next sixty days.
A great effort has been made to abolish the
office OF County Judge, and it is proper to
say that members Of the Legislature, es-
pecially from the north, are but rejecting
the wishes of their constituents. The abo-
lition OF the once, just now, would work
great evils. The Office and the duties were
inaugurated With the Code system, and have
been legislated upon ever since, until at
least two hundred changes would have to be
made in statutes were the office abolished
To make the office what it should be, the
odious powers OF the judge will be largely
curtailed, and the more dang erous will be
imposed on board consisting Of the judge
and other persons. 1t is proposed to make
an auditing, contracting and settling Board
out Of the judge and two commissioners, or
the judge and the clerks of the various town
ships. Either project will divest the Office
Of its dangerous powers and measurably ac-
commodate Legislators in favor of the COM
missioner or supervisor system.
Tomorrow the various petitions in favor
Of the sureties of Eads will be presented in
the Senate. 1t is presumed that commits
sioners will be appointed, authorized 10 make
final sediment. This mode OF settlement
meets with favor. The Gate City's com
ments on the subject readily commend them
selves to oil generous men whose principle
of life is not "ruin.'

Modern o0n-~TerrEbIe Con.
fiiCt with N snake.

1t vas only week or two since that we
announced the arrival at Salem, from Afri-
On, OF a monster boa constructor, in size one
OF the largest ever brought to this country.
Its length, in its quiet state, was full 80 feet,
with capability of extension, when in mo-
ton, to nearly 40 feet. In it's largest part
il was some 20 inches in circumference.
This snake was purchased by Mr.. Good
win, broker, of this city, and placed on ex-
hibition at horticultural Hall, School street,
where 1t proved quite attractive. Last week
however, biz snakeship exhibited symptoms
of illness in the form of indigestion, and
npon ono occasion Mr.. Bishop, the keeper,
removed number Of feathers Of an animal
which the reptile had swallowed from it's
throat.
On Sunday the s-ake was treated to
warm bath, and Mr.. Bishop Was again at
tempting to remove some distractions from
it's throat, when the snake suddenly exhibit
ed signs OF hostility, erected it's head, seized
MIR. Bishop by the hand, and commenced to
coil its enormous length about the body of
the keeper, In order to crush him to death.
The other attendants, in the first moments OF
alarm, retreated, but recalled by the cries
for help Of the imprisoned keeper, they armed
themselves with CLUBS, and commenced to
belabor the snake in order TO induce him to
release his hold.
No impression was made, however, and
one>coil WAS already around the body OF the
unfortunate man, when brother OF Mr..
Goodwin came to the rescue with large
hammer. With this he struck the snake two
violent blows upon tho head, which, togeth-
er with violent choking about the throat,
induced the reptile to unloose its coil, when
! ~. Bishop sas al ono. ses free from his
horrible Imprisonment. The snake soon be-
gan to sink under the treatment which il had
received, and in two hours was dead. It's
remains were purchased by Mr.. Vickery Of
Lynn, who will kave the skin stuffed for
preservation. Il Boston Traveller, Feb. |.

FuNsY CONSOLATION. The Democracy are
busy trying to console themselves over the
election Of Pennington. They need it, poor
fellowst Our show els OF compassion" year,
for them. The Washington Contribution,
however, seeks comfort about as inconsider-
atels as any body. Exceedingly wroth, and
mortified almost to the extreme Of becoming
modesty of department, it nevertheless draws
this consolation from the circumstance -
Although Mr.. pennington's election 10 hardly
cndurable, it is still measurably alleviated
by the fact that "while Governor Of New
Jersey be repeatedly expressed his resolution
to enforce the fugitive slave law" To
which We are sorry TO add, Mr.. pennington's
term of Office as Governor terminated several
years before the passage of the fugitive slave
law!
