- Horatio Seymour II under affection
for the sshonor'' Of the State of New York.
He thinks that il the State fAils 70 pay IN
terest on it bonds in gold, IT. "honors.' Is
lost! What nice sensibilities the fellow
must have! He wasn't troubled a bit
about the 'honor" of the State when bis
''friends' ran riot with blood and murders
and arsons, and other atrocities in the City
Of New York. He had nothing TO say about
"honor" amid all that pollution and crime.
The murderers were his friends Their
huzzas for Jeff. Davis, Little Mac and him
SELF made music for his ears. But now, he
is anxious that the merchants, business
men and capitalists should contribute mon
ey to pay interest on the public debt, to al
foreign holders, in order that State "hOnor"
may not be lost. What an idea of honor he
has We presume his exhOrtions will not
avail much. Foreign holders are entitled
to just what those ct home are entitled to.
A to any special consideration they are
entitled to we can't see it. Most likely .
large portion Of them are of the class which
has done its best to aid the rebels. # they
are not satisfied with such intsrest as home
creditors receive, let them help themselves
- best they can. When people pirate about
'shonor," after the manner Of Horatio, hon.
est people had better look we'll TO their
pockets. They always mean villiany by
that term.
A curious work on cosmetics, recently
published, strongly condemns rouge and
pearl-powder, but informs the ladies how
they may give color to their cheeks with.

bright crimson silk, dip it in strong spirits
of wine and rub it over the cheeks until ,
moderate tint appears. This de6es dotec-

Yes, but We will tell you Of another plan
by which you can give ''color to the cheek, :"

around and clean up the house generally,
and then assist in getting dinner, and when
that il over, try Jour hand at supper, and
when the evening work il done, rig your

- The Nashville (Tenn.) Times has :
long article showing that under the hrst
Constitution Of that State, free negroes
were votere aad members of the State mi
litia, and were constantly called upon TO
perform both duties. On one occasion
John Boil was actually elected t. the House
Of Representatives by the free negro votss.
Cave johnson was once seen going to the
polls with negro on each arm. Andrew
Jackson, Felix Grundy, and other promi.
nent Democrats Of that day, we're great
fav0rites with this class Of voters, and one
occasion il mentioned when sixty Of them
marched. in procession to the polls and
voted for Gen. Carroll. That was all un-
der the first Constitution Of the Stats.-
Freedom then gave right to vote. A free
negro was man. The Constitution was
changed with the new growth Of pro-
slavery. This modification itself shows
whata wonderful change has been wrought
Ia the public sentiment on this point. It
has made chattels Of men.
a- John Van Buren, has "done gone !"
and sold Underwood. the we'll known resi-
dence Of his father, Martin Van Buren,. for
thirty -six thousand dollars. John must
b ''hard up" Or else be is greatly want
in that sentiment which inclines most men
TO cling to the possession OF the paternal
acres. It IL almost ~ bad thing - anv
we have heard attributed to him. It il a
sort Of family treason to sell what has &C.
quired Z sort Of historic character and val
ue. But men who will sell soul and coun.
~, may be expected to sell anything Of
minor importance.
