roaming about the theatre. One was seen

Nothing daunted, Mr. Crockett entered

Speech of Mr.. Etheridge of Tennessee.
Mr. ETHERIDGE, of Tennessee, said that
if jury Of twelve honest men colud be
sworn to try the issue joined between the
two contepdipg factions, and belonging to
no political party, with no motive but TO
subserve the country, he could submit the
case to them without argument and have
an unanimous verdict. But, unfortunate
ly, disinterested jury cannot be procured,
and the people are silly enough to appeal
to this tribunal for peace. There are two hun
dred and thirty-six members of this House,
but an equal number of as wise men can
be found in any Congressional district in
the country, and yet we are told that be-
cause this Congress, elected without refer
ence to the present issues, will not instant
ly stay the tide of revolution, therefore
there is no hope for free people What
right have gentlemen here to assume that
they cannot settle the question? While he

a Man Killed by a Lion at Ashley.
Theatre

esteTday morning an alarming circum
stance occurred at Astley's Royal Amphi-
theatre, owing to the escape of the whole
Of the lions, the property of Mr., Crockett,
from their den, which occupied place We
ry near the stage. At about q quarter be-
fore eight the men who usually attend to
cart away the manure were startled by the
loud roaring of the lions, but as they had
on former occasions heard somewhat simi-
lar sounds, they proceeded with their work
as usual. The noise, however, did not sub
side, but on the contrary, increased, and in
a few minutes the men were horror-struck
at beholding one of the lions struggling
with man named Jaryey, a yard helper in
the establishment. Mr.. Crockett's animal
keeper was Immediately sent for, and arri-
we'd in very few minutes, but he not hav
ing the power over the infurated beasts
that Mr.. Crockett had, Immediately sent
for that gentleman. On the arrival Of Mr..
Crockett he rushed on to the stage, where
the lion was running about with the unfor
tunate man Jarvey in his mouth, to all ap-
pearance quite dead
Mr.. Crockett instantly seized stable
fork, and dealt the lion a heavy blow on
the side CT the head, which caused it to let
the man go; but instead of running away,
he turned round and seemed inclined to
spring upon his master. Another power

imal turn and run away. Medical aid was

MISCELLANEOUS,
The Emperor of France on American
Affairs.

AudlIS.
\ correspondent OF the Baltimore Amer
lean, writing from Paris under date ofJan-
uary 18th, gives the following incident as
transPlrlng at the Emperor's leyce on New
years day:
When the collective reception of the Di-
plomatlc body was over, the Emperor pas
sed slowly along the line of ambassadors
and Ministers, speaking few words to
each in person. After q moments conyer-
satlon with the Persian ambassador, who
stood at the right of the Minister of the
United States, the Emperor approached
Mr.. Faulkner, and cordially shook his
hand. The usual words of greeting were
then exchanged, after which the Emperor
asked in English
What is the latest intelligence you have
received from the United States? Not so
alarming, | trust as the papers represent
it?
Like most nations, SIRE replied Mr..
Faulkner, 'we have our troubles, which
have lost none of their coloring as dcscrib-
ed in the European press
The Emperor hope 1t as not t,.ue
hGt any cfhe States hare separated from
the General Confederation
Mr.. Faulkner The States still form
one common Government, as heretofore
There Is excitement in portions of the Con
tederacy, and there are indications of ex-
treme measures being adopted By one OF
two of the States. But we are familiar
with the eXcitements, as we are with the
vigor, which belong to the institutions Of
a free people. We have already more than
once passed through connections which
would have shattered into fragments any
other government on earth, and this fact
justities the inference that the Union will
now be found equal to the strain upon it.
The Emperor / SincerelY hope ii man
be so; AND THAT you MAY LONG CON
TINUE AN UNITED AND PROSPEROUS pEO-
PIE
Mr. Faulkner then asked permission of
the Emperor to present to him Mr.. j. G.
Clarke, acting Secretary of Legation, and
Mr.. i. Boyd Faulkner, acting Assistant
Secretary, to whom his majesty made few
kind remarks, and then passed on to the
Minister Of Denmark.
The account given Of this important
conversation between Napoleon III. and
the Minister of the United States NAV be
relied upon fully. | have it from gen
tIeman who was present and who heard ev-
cry word pronounced on both sides. In
deed, the circumstances are now very gen
orally known among the Americans in
Paris, who comment upon the affair aceor-
ding to their individual political senti,
ments, but all, | believe, concurring in the
opinion that the interrogatories and obser-
vatlons of the Emperor were inspired by
sincere regret at our internecine DIVISIONS,
threatening disaster which will not be
attributed in Europe to its real sources,
and which could not fail to infict a terri
bic blow upon the struggling populations
of Europe, looking to our country as
model Of political liberty, and to our unex-
ampled material prosperity as the most sig
nal evidence of the success and stability
of republican institutions.

R9rAn idiot at Salisbury, Germany, be-

The BareEooted Printer Boy.

The Pittsburg Morning ArieI, under this
caption, gives story of a distinguished citi-
zen of Pennsylvania as follows:
Some thirty years ago bareSooted boy
fOated down the Susquehanna on an humble
raft and arrived at Harrisburg. He came
from the North, and belonged to large
family; all of his worldly goods were tied in
a little pocket handkerchief, He sought and
obtained employment In printing office as
an apprentice. Froman apprentice TO Jour
neyman, from journeyman to a reporter
then to an editor, the barefooted printer boy
worked away against obstacles which the
suffering only know. The persevering fol-
lower in Franklin's steps began to realize
the fruit of toll and privaLion, The young
aspirant became printer to the State, and
by frugal management was soon enabled to
accomplish the object nearest his heart-the
establishment of his mother in home above
want-in possession of every. comfort she
could desire. His brothers were his next
care and, like Napoleon, he had strong
arm with which to aid then-and indomit-
able perseverance that nothing could long
successfully obstruct. In few years they,
too, with his sisters, were Independent in
the world the once bare footed printer boy
was in possession OF influence, surrounded by
young and affectionate family. He was
the friend of the friendess, patron of merit,
and an encourager in industry. He rose in
honor and Office, until the bare-footed printer
boy who entered printing office in Harris
burg, hungry aud weary, laid down his bun.

become printers apprentice, was elected

To Unmarried Ladies.

The following items of advice to ladies
remaining in state of single blessedness
are extracted from the manuscript of an
old dowager;
If you have blue eyes, languish.
If black eyes, affect spirit.
If you have pretty feet, wear short petit
coats.
If you are the least doubtful as to that
point, wear them long.
If you have good teeth, don't forget to
laugh now and then.
If you have bad ones, you must only sim
per.
While you are young, sit with your face
to the light.
When you are little advanced, sit with
your back to the window.
If you have bad voice. always speak in
low tone.
If it is acknowledged that you have
fine voice, never speak in high one.
If you dance we'll, dance seldom.
If you dance ill, never dance at all.
If you sing well, make no puerile ex-
cuses.
If you sing indifferentiy, hesitate not o
moment when you are asked, for a few
persons are competent judges of singing,
but every one is sensible of the desire to
please.
If in conversation you think person
wrong, rather hint difference of opinion
than offer contradiction.
1t is always in your power to make a
friend by smiles; what folly to make enc
mics by frowns.
When you have an opportunity to praise,
do it with all your heart.
When you are forced to blame, do it with
reluctance.
If you are envious of another woman,
never show it but by allowing her every
good quality and perfection except those
which she really possesses.
If you wish to let the world know you
are in love with particular man, treat
him with formality, and every one else
with ease and freedom.
If you are disposed to be pettish or inso-
lent it is better TO exercise your i'll humor
on your dog or your cat or your servant,
than on your friend.

An Earnest Appeal to Mothers.

A distinguished physician, who died some
time since in Paris, declared;
~ believe that during the twenty-six
years have practiced in this city, twenty
thousand children have been carried to the
cemeteries, sacrifice to the absurd custom
Of exposing their necks and arms"
1t would not be wide of the truth to say
that fifty thousand children are every year
inundated upon the altar Of capricious
fashion, in civilized society. However
much intelligence they may be possessed of
it is an undeniable fact that our women
especially mothers-are the slaves Of sense
less and outrageous fashion. Health, COM
fort and happiness are each in turn sacri-
feed to the all potent query, "What will
Mrs. Grundy say? Children must be
models of style whether they live or die.
Short dresses, low necks and bare arms
make our daughters look more angelic than
their grandmothers did in their homespun
wrappers, but not half so cozy and loveable.
A sweet face peeping out of an ample hood
and limbs covered up from the shifting
blasts of our northern climate, are alto
gether more beWitching than the shriVeled
and blOOdless forms with their goose-skin
pimples. A correct taste is seldom over
demonstrative. A living President of one
Of our oldest medical schools always gave
this parting advice to his classes on their
graduation day; "YOung gentlemen, take
good care of the old LadisS-there never will
be any more" This sensible advice was
predicated on the destructive nature Of
prevalent fashions. Let our women break
away from the enohantment Of custom this
winter, and dress up their darlings to the
ears in warm apparel and their increased
health and yigof, together with the dimi.
mutton Of doctors bills, will more than com
pensate for the frowns of the whole school
over which dame Grundy presides-Fal
