Kingston and in Toronto (the chief
cities of new country revived with
a most insulting vehemehce.
Why this difference? The reason
is clear. In Canada the effort has
been made to preserve the Institutions
Of an old country in new, and this
excessive, and awkwark, and i'll adapt
ed conservatism has been the secret of
all the troubles that have affected orr
neighbors to the north of us for the
last thirty years. Conservatism is q
good thing, but the true article pre-
serves only the good, and lets the
worthless die out. In Canada they
have been so afraid Of letting the in
stitution of royalty of the old country
die out, that they have preserved all
the most ancient and rotten adjuncts
of antiquated partisanship. They are
a century behind the times. 1t is the
attempt to put new wine into old bot
tles-to force the ancient forms of
government, adapted well enough for
an island rended and torn by civil con
ficts, to a young and widespread
land, with new ideas and placed in
new circumstances. The free spirit of
young life is i'll adapted to run in the
Anticipated and worn out channels of
Orangeism and Ribbonism, and the
Princes counsellors did wisely in put
ting it down. But the bottles may
burst, and that will put him down.
The fact is, that this sort of spirit
is so interviewer with their veneration
for the House of Hanover and for roy
atty, that it would seem impossible to
tear away the one without eradicating
the other In this country, we have
thrown off the Anticipated forms Of
royalty not suited to the genius. of our
expanding people. But the last few
weeks have shown that we know how
to treat with an enlightened distinc-
ton and regard those who are the en-
trusted Repositories of sovereign pow
er in other States, and to evince this
spontaneously, without either the syc-
ophancy of courts or the i'll bred and
violent conduct of Toronto rabble.

Lessons of the Princes Visit.

There is no doubt that the recent
visit of the Prince of Wales has taught
US all something. We do not here al
lude to the lessons in dress or dancing
afforded to certain of our fashionable
young gentlemen, who do, and of
course will, initiate all that they can
possibly remember to have seen or
heard of the Prince. But to have
travelled through two thousand miles
of the United States, seen most Of our
principal cities, our mountains, and
our prairies, and our rivers, without
single accident, and without giving Of
fence or taking it in single instance,
but leaving a pleasant impression on
people SO free and SO free-spoken as
our own, this may be fairly considered
an achievement worth accomplishing.
1t may show, too, that, guided by the
same spirit, he may walk through life
in England with equal popularity, and
perform the Office of head of the State.
as his mother has before him so far,
with an unimpeachable popularity.
All this shows, at least, the value of
good manners.
Why the Prince could not have
been as successful in Canada is equal
ly clear. With all our freedom of
speech, we have learned to respect the
freedom of others, even of Princes, (al-
ways excepting those from Japan, as
our neighbors have not. The idea Of
dragging the carriage of Prince or
of President under triumphal arch,
raised in party or sectarian bigotry,
to make it do a compelled homage to
principles and practices repugnant, if
not illegal, never entered into the
heads of our people. A more proper
~ and gentlemanly reception, one that
better showed off the best points of
our own people and their superiority
over others, it wonld have been hard
to conceive. In Canada, on the 9th
err hand, he could not land, in this
place or in that, and when he did, he
was deceived by the Mayor and his
companions openly insulted by the
popalace. All the worst excuses of
old country party feeling and spirit,
exploded there and obsolete, were in

A NATURAL CURIOSITY IN New
YoRK.-Arrival of Hippopotamus:
Among the notable arrivals from Eu-
rope was live hippopotamus which
was brought to this port on Saturday,
by the steamer City of Manchester
The beast endured the voyage with be-
coming fortitude, asd landed on our
shores as well, if not better, than he
was when be left England He was
cordially received by the throngs of
knowing ones who anticipated his
coming, and was Immediately trans
ferred on board the steamer De Soto,
which sailed yesterday afternoon for
New Orleans. The reason for leaving
so soon was the fear that the ap-
preaching winter might prove toomuch
for him, as it is said he is extremely
sensitive to the changes Of tempature.
His looks betoken that at glance
But on this creature hangs little
tale. More than two years ago he
fell in with an English exploring party,
as he was stalking. along about the
scources of the Nile, and by dint of
persuasion on their part he was in
duced to visit the Royal Geological
garden, at London. AT this time he
was in early youth, and in size no lar
ger than full grown Newfoundland
dog His acquaintance christened
him Bucheet, or Fortunate" in al
fusion to the fact that bis mother did
not know he was out, and so left him
to the disposal Of any passer-by. To
his special attendant, an Arab named
Salaama, be is very docile and obedi-
ant. He has never left his new resi-
dence until now.
Tn appearance this beast is decided
ly unique. His head displays pleas
ant similarity to that of a bull dog,
which is connected with an exceeding
ly uncouth looking body, by means of
a very large neck. His legs are some
thingafter the style of an elephant,
but shorter and thicker; they have
not, however, the same grace of move
ment, nor do the feet seem to possess
the same exquisite sense of touch
The fabulous tale of the roughness
and thickness of the hide of hippo
potamuS are fnlly varifed by an in
spection of the specimen which is now
on his way to the Crescent City,
Tough as an OK hide, of the color of
vulcanized gutta percha, his skin flaps
about his body in loose folds, and is
apparently very thick. His voice
if the strange noises he makes may
claim SO dignifed a name-sounds
harshly enough it is sort of a mix
ture of growl and a grunt, each ele-
ment predominating at times.-N. Y

Number I(D4.

The present number of our paper
brings us to the close of our second
volume. Owing to the infexibly in
dependent aud unalterably determined
course we have pursued, we have
reached point in the circulating of
our paper which completely exceeds
even our most sanguine expectations.
We have fonnd the people Of Hunter
don an intelligent community, ready
and willing to assist in a work bring
ing TO them knowledge and amuse-
ment, and not the illiterate, pinch
penny people we would suppose from
accounts of jealousy inclined indiyid-
uals. Our object has been to cater in
literary sense to the appetites Of q
sensible people, and we have the pleas
IRE now of taking up the bread VIC
cast upon the waters during the past
twelve months. Our circulation is
now greater than that Of any other
paper in the county, and considerably
greater than any other paper has ever
had. A year brings about many
changes, and at the close Of this sec
ond year Of our newspaper existence
we find ourselves in an expanded con-
dition, needing more elbow room,
which, thanks to the enterprising
spirit of one of our citizens we shall
possess in a short time. Our next pa
per will be issued two weeks from this
(our subscriber will not lose anything
as we go altogether by numbers) from
the new "Press Buildings" on the cor
ner of Union and Coryell Sts., whittier
we intend to move during the coming
week.
We have given to the Press a dis
tinct and definite expression, following
our own bent and using home mate
rails, and with the experience of two
years we trust we can make our next
volume more interesting and worthy
of support. We have found out that
as an eminent writer says if we manage
our saliva and not talk through our
nose we can show what we are with
out hindrance or barrier, and be APP
preeiated for what we are worth. We
purpose making few changes during
the next volume of our paper which
we hope may meet the appreciation Of
our patrons. With the last of this
years connection with our numerous
friends and patrons we extend our
kind wishes, hoping they may prove
of good, and trusting zee are of any
good to receive an acknowledgment
of the same.

ORIGIN OF BLACK CoATs IN THE
CLERGY lin the year 1544 Luther
laid aside the monks costume, and
henceforth dressed according to Che
fashion of the world. He chose black
clothes, and consequently the color
has became the fashion of the clergy
His reason for choosing this color
was: The elector of Saxony took an
interest in him, and now and then sent
him q peice of black cloth, being at
that time the court fashion, and be-
cause Luther preferred it; so his
scholars thought it became them to
wear the same color as their master.
From that time black has been the
color most worn by the clergy.
