AYoung man may have been noticed .bY our
citizens lately, cutting about town with a
splendid team This young man Vas noticea-
Bile for his superabundance Of }iSht. sunset
hair, his long and angular formation, and his
elegant store c1othe5." He said that be came
from Boston, from New York, and from Phiia-
delphia- He said anything, in fact, that he
thought people would be Likely to believe, and
meanwhile went on hiring teams, displaying
rolls Of money eastern money! and making
numerous friends by reason Of sundry treats,
and smokes and oyster suppers. His name
vas printed neatly and tastlly on ivory cards,
William Ransome, but he eoniidential]Y stated
to q transient bosom friend at the academy one
night, that his proper name Was Smith. Well,
this Hyperion Won the affections OF seYeal L..
dies. It is not for us to say here who these
ladies: are, They are young ladies-one pf
them tends 3 store, and another don't, But
w. Ransome Smith seems to have assumed the
aspect Of a young millionaire to their ~suscep-:
tlble eyes, stray lump Of fortune futtering
like butterfly il their grasp. 80 they Yield
ed.up their hearts, and Wifliam promised to
marry them, and even made them presents Of
fifty cent gold rings Us ca1ats line, which
theyin their innocence supposed to be worth
w Ransome Smith became a Jolly good fel-
Low, and bid fair to reach the acme Of social
distinction, when he mysteriously and unac-
countably disappeared.
Upon SO small q foundation IS mysterious
disappearance were immediate ISLANDERS con
structed. It WIS said that he owed q Yery
large bill ct very small hotel That-ge1-
t1emau and good fellow that he was-he had
st.tck several Of his friends to the tune OF q,
So, 5s, and in one case to the tune Of "saW-
buck" ~7
We have nothing to ray OF our friend. Had
he kept on for month longer he might have
made q good thing out Of it. As it is, the
young ladies declare that he was called away
On business, aud will surely return and clear i

respecting his Majesty Of Dahomey, in his tra-
vels in Western Africa:
The Kings formerly went mixed from the
waist upwards, except On particular or solemn
occasions, when they ,threN: q rich clothe or
large cape over their shoulders. They are now
however, much more completely clothed; their
necks, arms and hair are ornamented with lew
elry Of rude manufacture, and Rith strings of
very fine coral; they wear loose, rich SIX fou,
sers, made something after the Turkish style,
supeshne cloth. ion the head they wear a
white silk OF Te1Tet cap, embroidered In gold,
and on the feet Eandalss secured By small gold
chains Thus attired, they sit in state, OF "a
fher recline on cushions covered with rich silk
cloth, and surrounded By the ladies' Of the Ia
rem, all Of whom are under the superinten-
dence and control Of the "Dada," or fayorite
Su1tana, who exercises supreme authority, and
In the eetag1io possesses the prerogatire Of
life or death over the other women. Those fe.
males have allotted to them various .offices
around the person Of the sovereign. One has
charge Of his golden pipe; smother has charge
Of the golden spittoon; one lights the fire in .
small chatting dish which supplies the live
Goals for his pipe; another is seen with a small

Vice President Ramlfn on the Present
EfdAixs
just before leaving Bangor {Me) for Wash.
ington, on Monday morning last, Mr. Hamlln,
In response to farewell address Of many Of
his friends who met him at the depot, spoke as
fo11ows:
Igo to the discharge fthe official duties
which have been conferred upon me bY a gen
erous people, and, relying upon Divine Pfoyi.
dence, trust that confidence shan never be-
betrayed. know full well that dark clouds
are lowering around the political horizon, and
that madness rules the hour; but am hope
ful still that our people are not only loyal to-
the Goyernmen, but that they are haternalto
all It's citizens, and Then in practice It shall
be demonstrated that the constitutional rights
o. al the M statGs I'll he respected and main
1a n1ashinstAn, JeIasson and Madison, may we
not reasonably hope and expect that i4uless III,

We can now begin to understand what we
escaped last November when the fusion failed
to accomplish its object Of separating enough
States from the Republican column tozdefsat
the election. In that case Nj: Lincoln would
still have been the leading candidate, aud the
South would still hare had the same desperate
game to play, to terrify the House out of com
pletlng his election. Il the whol6 struggle
had TINS been centered In Congress, What
would have been the state Of affairs in that,
body to-day? The fiery excitement Of The
struggle would hardly have failed to .ciead to
Violence IN Congress itselt, Will. outside Of
the halls Of Legislation the danger would have
been at least equally great. and the altered
course Of events might possibly have been the
means Of keeping the Government at the
mercy Of Messra. Cobb and Floyd, and their
confederates, until the fourth OF, March,
And in case Mr. Lincoln had failed to be
elected BY the House, the Government would
have fallen into the hands Of Joseph Lane,
man Who now openly exhibits his sympathy
with the secess{onists. Our friends who went
into the fusion movement have cause daily to
thank the Republicans for saving them from
being the Instruments Of such disgrace.-
