A MODEST EDIToR.-A lady in Milwaukee,
discussing the greater question, writes:-
"You oril take notice that just above the knee
there is no hollow or depression in which
garter could be retained, no projection on which
it could make hold" To which the Buffalo
Republic modestly replies
"IfiU Ioe take notice? Couldn't think of it.
Don't want to. May be worn about the waist
for all we know. Take notice, indeed !"

Foreign News per Steamer Persia at New
York.

NEW YORK, August u.
The steamer Persia arrived up at i O'clock
1t is denied that the gun-boat Tuscarora left
Kingston by government orders. 1t is rumor-
ed that she received a telegram from Liver
pool that the steamer POO was in the channel,
hence her departure. She was expected back
at Kingston.
The Times continues to give a gloomy pic
ture of American affairs and says there is no
likelihood of termination of the war by the
ordinary course, the only chance of peace be-
ing sudden and unexpected interference of
common sense. The Morning Post regards
drafting as an issue in which failure would be
ruin, certain and, definite. The Daily News
attacks Russelfs response to Seward, as in
consistent with dignity and seli-respect. 1t
argues that after Roebucks unparalleled in
suit to the Northerncrs, before the prime min
lister at Sheffield, the less said about hostile
demonstrations the better. The Army and
Navy Gazette regards the military prospects
of the South less hopeful. and thinks that they
should be making offensive demonstrations
before new Northern levies are raised.
The New York correspondent Of the Times
charges the North with loss of enthusiasm. and
says if some signal humiliation bclel General
Mcclellan or Pope, the independence of the
South would be secured.
Napoeon's fete passed off without political

Statements relative to the Garbaldi move

The YOUNG RECRUITs.-Yesterday after
noon Capt. Shaw's company Of young recruits,
about seventy-five present, paraded on Ex-
change street, in front of Fox Block, and tho
they had neither arms, uniform, or other insig-
mia Of camp life to exhibit, they did exhibit
some fine specimens Of young manhood
They attracted a good deal of attention.
These young men are gathered from the flow
er of our city, and in laying them upon our
country's altar Portland is truly giving up her
jewels. God grant that, at the conclusion of
an honorable peace, they may NIL be returned
to the homes from which they are taken, and
of which they are the cherished ornaments
Formed four abreast they marched up En-
change street, led by Poppenberg's Band,
keeping step with the precision of veterans.-
1t is a noble corps, made up from the pure ar
terial blood of the city.
REcRuIrING.-We are gratifed TO learn
that Capt. Andrew Dooley, who has had eight
years experience in the United States service,
is meeting with excellent success at his tent,
corner of Fore and Exchange streets, in re-
cruiting company of our adopted Irish citi-
zens. Yesterday, he had obtained the names OF
seventeen, with more promised, all first-rate
men. No class of men have proved them
selvesl more brave or patriotic during the
present struggle, than our true-hearted Irish
men. With the inspiration of such names as
those of Cass, Meagher, and Corcoran, added
10 their natural love of liberty, and innate ha-
tired OF despotism how could it be otherwise ?
We trust that Capt Dooley may be able tc
lead full company of these noble fellows to
the field OF conflict They will never disgrace
the country of their choice, or desert its nag
in the hour of peril.

of the New Orleans Delta, issued before the
city and its currency became Butierized.

mills make one cent; ten cents one dime, ten
dimes ono, dollar is played cut. a dime, 81
a dollar in hard speltet, is sight good for
diseased optics, and FIVE minutes survey Of
ten dollars in specie would cure the most
hopeless case Of Asiahc cholera. But we
have new table of currency, and it is pub
lished here free of charge, for the benefit Of
those who choose to cut it out and post it up
for reference:
Ten omnibus tickets make half dollar.
Five Schelke's beer tickets make q man
drunk, invested in lager.
Ten Krost's beer tickets make one city
shin-plaster.
One handful of shin -plasters with the pic
ture worn Off makes man cuss
Ten half dollars make fool Of poor
man.
Twenty beer tickets (Schelke's OF
Krost's) make half cling.
Forty beer tickets, ten omnibus tickets, one
handful of shin-plasters, and nary half dollar,
make man steal. If they don't we Should
like to know what will"

Arab POIiteness.

A poor Arab was travelling in the desert,
when he met with a spIing Of clear, sweet,
sparkling water. Accustomed as he was to
brackish wells to his simple mind it appear
ed that such water as this was worthy Of q
monarch: and filling his leathern bottle
from the spring, he determined to 90 and
present it to the caliph himself.
The poor man travelled a considerable
distance before he reached the presence of
his sovereign, and laid his humble offering
at his feet. The calph did not despiss the
little gift brought to him with so much
trouble. He ordered some of the water to
be poured into cup, drank it, and thanking
the Arab with smile, ordered him to be
presented with reward.
The courtiers around pressed forward, els
ger to taste Of the wonderful water, but 70
the surprise of all, the caliph forbade them
to touch single drop
After the poor Arab had Quilted the royal
pfesence with a light and Joyful heart, the ca.
liph tutbed to his ccurtisrs, and thus explain
ed the motives Of bis conduct
(! "Uutihg the travels Of the Afab," said he,
the water in this leathern bottle had become
impure and distasteful. But it was an offer.
ing of love, and as such / have received it
with pleasure. But well knew that had /
suffered another to partake off, he would not
have concealed his disgust; and therefore l
forbade you to touch the draught, lest the
heart of the poor man should have been
wounded"
All that sinhefs Can present to their King
is like the water brought by the Arab, though,
like him we may fancy it worthy the accept
ance Of our Lord. But he will not reject;
he wiz not despiss The little offering of love
and faith; for he hath promised that even q
cup Of cold water given in the name Of a dis.
citfe shall in no wise lose its reward.

The following, from the Richmond Wing,
shows that Southern pride and haughtiness
is still the same, and that this false concep-
ton Of their own superiority has had much
to do in bringing on the great rebellion. Per-
haps they may yet learn that those whom
they have hitherto so heartily despised are
at least their equals in more than one sense:
"The whole experience of the war is an
attestation of the truth, long since discovered
by impartial observers, that the master-race
of this continent is found in the Southern
States. OF better stock, originally, and
habituated to manlier pursuits and exercise,
they have ruled in affairs of State by force of
the stronger will and larger wisdom that per-
tain to and distinguish superior races Of men,
while en- the field Of battle they have in ev-
cry contest held priority of place, conceded
to them by their present adVersaries.
This natural dominancy Of the Southern
people has had much to do in bringing ON
| the war. The inferior race; grown strong in
numbers and ambitious from prosperity, have
revolted against and now seek to overthrow
and destroy those whose superiority was q
constant source of envy and self-feproach
There is no fercer malevolence than that a
caste, and it is this which has so long stirred
the Yankee bile. Always, in the presence
of the Southern gentleman; he has felt Q
strong and painfully-repressed impulse &c
take off his hat This conscious inferiority
has CALLED the jealous and malignant cfea
ture, until be has broken out in servile Insult
rection. He has vainly concluded that hi
number rs can ovefwhelm and exte.minate tn.
subjects Of his envy, and that he, succeeding
to the broad acres and liberal habitudes O
the Southern gentry, will come to be looked
upon as gentleman, too "

Head or Tail.

4 son Of Erin having hired his services to
cut some ice, was asked if he could use the
cross-cut saw. He replied that he "could
surely" He was sent accordingly, in COM
pany with his co-laborers, to cut some ice;
and on reaching the centre Of the pond the
saw was produced with both handles still in
their place. The verdant son. looking at the
saw very coolly, put his hand in bis pocket,
and drawing from it penny, said Now,
Jamie, fair play; head OF tail, who goes

John Bull Ir.. Unhappy:

The Toronto Leader has been thrown into
spasms again at the discovery that recruiting
for the National army is in progress in Cans
da. In Tuesdays issue it says:
For some time past the walls Of tie city
have been placardeu with bills Cas- .0T q
large number Of labOfers to work on railroad
IN Pennsylvania which may or may not havs
an existence for all we know. We believe
these bills had the effect Of Inducing some
two hundred laboring men to leave the city
to engage in work on this railroad. 1t has
been questioned, however, whether the men
were really required as laborers; and there
were good reasons to believe that the kind
Of work for which they were wanted, was Of
a different nature. We have additional rea-
sons for regarding the notification as a mere
kidnapping scheme from the fact that sim
liar trick has besn tried in Che city Of New
York itself.

for the price of a glass eye that she had

could not be certain Of the time, but said that
he sometimes made memorandum of dates

TRUE FELICrrx.-H men did but know
what felicity dwells in the cottage of a
virtuous poor man-how sound he sleeps,
how quiet his breast, how composed his
mind, how free from care, how easy his pro-
vision, how healthy his morning, how sober
his night, how moist his mouth, how joyful
his heart-they would never admire the
