The Buckwheat straw PrInciple.


Perhaps our urmothera aud marriageablc daughter
readers do not know what kind of principle
the buckwhsat straw principle is. We proceed
to tell them. Mrs. Payne, pioneers wife,
living years ago, near Rising Sun, Indiana,
married all her daughters, as she said,
on that principle. She thus explained her
success 10 getting her daughters married to
the first men of the country; "You may let your
buckwheat straw lie in the open field, where
your cattle run without fence, as long as you
please, and they will never eat a straw of it;
but just put light, rickety fence around it,,
let the cattle break over, and dog them out a
few times; still mend up the fence, and they
will break down your fence again, and eat up
the straw clean; SO with the young men and
the girls. My daughters were well raised,
good.looking, smart and finely dressed they
attended public gatherings, and were much
admired. kept my eyes on them, and when
ever one Of them was accompanied home by
young man just such as would like, I
would privately tell some of his associates that
he must never be seen about my house again,
or it would not be good for him. The princi-
pie never failed to operate; a clandestine mar
riage soon followed, the new son-in-law was
forgiven, and all things moved on smoothly,
until another daughter was manageable"

HAN Columbia-The Union Forever.

Hail Columbia The Union Forever.
Emergencies bring forth gems and brilliants.
HaI Columbia, which now has such hold in
the hearts Of the people, was produced almost
impromptu, for a special occasion. A young
man named Fox, attached to The Philadelphia
Theater, chiefly as singer, was about to
have benefit. At that time (l79S) there was
prospect Of war between the United States
and France. Fox, anxious to produce some
novelty for his benefit, conceived the idea Of
having an original song that should arouse the
national spirit. The theatrical poets tried to
write such an one but failed. g f
The benefit was to take place on Monday.
And on the previous Saturday afternoon,
Fox called on his old school-mate, Judge Jo-
seph Hopkinson, son Of one of the signers Of
the Declaration of Independence, and asked
him to write a song for him, adapted to the
popular air of the Presidents March. Hop
kinson consented, and, With the object Of
awakening a truly American spirit, without
offense to either of the violent political parties
Of the day, he wrote "Hail Columbia" It be-
came national anthem.
We need at this time new national song To
awaken all sections of the country to regard
with Q common and generous love-our
blessed Union.

TIE SILVER MINES OF cAlrroRsrA.-T

The SILVER MINES OF CALIF0RNIA.--The sill
yer mines in California promise to be of far
more Importance than the discovery of gold in
1S48, inasmuch as the product of the lighter
metal will be now more abundant, and its
comparative appreciation in value, growing
out Of its relative scarcity, will cease, thus re-
moving the approximations of troublesome
change which has given so much upeasine9s )
to political economists. The sample of silver
bearing quartz fully justify the reports last
published. The ore is worth, in its richer
development, about $35, 900 per tun, and the
field of discovery appears to be solid mine

The PRINTERS BALL AND FESTIVAL. - Ex
pectation is on tip.toe with those who propose
attending the printers festival, this evening,
at the Burnet House, and Fancy, peering into
the Future, paints the scene in the most glow

dreaming dance, while the imagination
whirls in giddy voluptuousness through the
maze of q soul-born waltz, or gracefully glides
through a mystic quadrille. Every appear

confidently expected that
"Moonlight, and music, and kisses. and wine,
And beauty that must be for rhymes sake divine"
will be combined to give the dancing hours a
Joy they never knew before.
