The London Times of July ., says at the
close of slengthy editorial:


We may predict, without much arrogance,
that this visit will be u historical event.
What can be stronger and more worthy the
curiousity of those to come than the reception
by Republican President of Royal Prince
whose ancestor was deposed and resisted
during years of war by the nation which now
shows hospitality to his descendant We
might make the obvious reflections which
occur to every one ON this great revulsion of
feeling. 1t is, however, sufficient to say that
the demonstration indicates two things-frst
that the Americans are convinced that the
British State nourishes no insiduous designs
against them or their institutions, and that
they will not be misunderstood if they give
vent to their good feeling with something OF
their usual vehemence; and secondly, that
the character and personal demeanor of En-
glish royalty at the present day is such as TO
insure the respect even of those who have
discontinued it as political form.


In the United States the Prince will be re-
ceived with that cordiality which no people
can show better than Americans, and he will
no doubt respond by a bearing equally cour-
teous and honorable. Were the Prince older
in years, and were his stay longer, he might
bring back many new idea to be of service
to his country and its dependencies Such an
examination of the New World is hardly to
be hoped for. But there is one thing which
his Royal Highness, and all of us, may learn
from his visit, and that is, that neither civil
war, nor revolution, nor commercial rivalry,
nor political chickering's, nor acrimonious
social criticisms, can totally sunder nations
which, having common origin and language,
develope themselves by the practice of the
same free institutions.

BLoNDINs FOURTH PERFORMANCE AT NJ
afternoon, says the Nj
agara Falls IN. W Gazette, NJ. Blondin gave
his fourth public exhibition on his rope over
the Niagara. There were more people in
town than ON any previous occasion. Blondin
walked first from the Canada side, going
through his usual performances until he came
to the CENTER where he fastened his bal
ancing-pole to the cable and descended a
slack rope, the two ends of which are tas-
tened some fifty feet apart to his main cable,
the slack hanging some twenty to thirty
feet below. Upon this string he ran down
as though perfectly at home. He suspended
himself from this with straps hanging two
or three feet below. He also stood up, to
every appearance really dangerous act.
But when he whirled himself like Wheel


heels over head, and very fast, people held
their breath for fear and in utter amazement


Some turned their backs upon him, not
wishing to look upon such fearful perform
ance. After returning TO his highway he
completed the trip to the American side.

the lamp post on the corner by the Stone

from the buggy, which was broken to pieces.

Sheriff Snyder brings the following an.
ecdote from Alton: A few days since
one of the convicts in the peritentiary got


into cart in which another convict was
hauling shayings out Of the yard, to
throw into the river. After he had taken
his position, the other covered him very
snugly with shavings, and promised to
dump the load at some convenient place
where he might remain concealed in the
shavings until the proper time to make
his escape. But unfortunately for the


concealed convict. another driver was
directed to take charge Of the cart, who
was ignorant Of the attempted ruse, as
The concealed convict was of the change
of drivers. And ere the poor fellow
discovered that he had fallen into the
hands OF one who knew not Joseph, the
cart was driven 10 the buff, and the load
of shavings was dumped over preci-
pice of fifteen or twenty feet high, into
Mississippi. Zounds! but it was cold
comfort. He emerged from his cold
bath, astonishing the driver as much as
lie was astonished himself; and without
attempting to travel further into the cold
charity of the world, took bee line for
the penitentiary, where he will Iemain,
probably, until warm weather before he
attempts repetition Of his ruse.-Paris

Almost every family has dinner, as
often as once a week. of what is popularity
called "boiled dish," and which, prop
erly cooked, is one Of the best dishes in
the world; but all cooks do not know the
best way to boil corned beef. The com
mon method, in order to makeit tender
being to put it in cold water, and let the
beef and water come gradually to boil.
This certainly makes beef tender, but il
also extracts the strength and juice. A
better is to wait till the water boils, before
putting in the beef it will then be equally
tender, and will retain all its Strengthening
and juicy properties. Many housekeepers
suppose that putting meat in hot water
inevitably renders it hard and tough, ,and
SO it will, if the water is only hot: but il
it boils, the effect will be the reverse
just as.putting a discolored tablecloth in
hot water will set the stains, but put it
in boiling water and it will take them
clean out. The same rule applies to all
boiled meats. Hams, after boiling four
or FIVE hours, according to size, should
be taken out. the skin taken of, and
cracker or bread crumbs grated over
them. and then baked in brisk oven for
one hour. A leg Of mutton can be trea.
ted successfully in the same way, only
it does not require to be boiled SO long,
or course, the boiling process should be
gentle.

If gentleman wants wife he wears
a ring on the first finger Of the left hand;
if he be engaged, he wears it on the sec-
ond finger; if married, on the third; and
on the fourth if ho never intends to be
married. When lady is not engaged
she wears hoop or diamond on her first
finger; if engaged, on her second; and on
the fourth il she intends to die maid.
When gentleman presents fan, a
flower, or trinket to lady with his left
hand it is on his part an overture OF re-.
gard. Should she receive it with the
left hand, it is considered as an accept
ance of his esteem; but il with the right

We, the junior editor, arrived in this city

deal OF anxiety and apprehension existing

tions from the regular National Democratic
Convention. Several Of the dispatches that

trely wanting in truth The Alabama.

withdrew IN toto. Louisiana, Arkansas
south Carolina and Delaware, each left dele
gates behind, who were not disposed to give
sanction to such an imprudent and unwise
course of action. When " e left the city of
| Charleston, We were assured bv three of The
Georgia delegation that there would be a se-
cession on the part of some of their party.
but that this would be confined principally
to those who are known to be the especial

is at the head of this move, and is now labor
ing with undiminished activity and energy
to complete and carry out his designs, as
were plainly laid down in his letter to Mr.
Slaughter, of Georgia. He has "in6amed
the Southern mind and fired the Southern
heart" and has now only to "precipitate the
cotton States into a revolution" God forbid
that we should ever see this But we will
tell the people of this State and the people
of this great country, that unless the mad
schemes of this designing, reckless and over
bearing politician are crushed such will be
our fate. The action of these boilers seemed
neither to disturb the orderly proceedings Of
