liere, to the circumstance of Mr. Jenkin’s
and a universed titter burst from ail lips.
Poor F stood confounded, perceived the
~ ~ — 7 I
direction of their looks, and turned his own
eyes to his left arm also. Close beneath it,
appeared, instead of a neat black chapeau
bras, a thin, flat, round piece of oak, with
a small black knob rising from the centre of
one side. In horror, consciousness, and con
fusion, he suddenly lifted his arm. Down
dropped the obnoxious* implement, lighted
on its edge, rolled forward into the midst of
the circle, whirled round and round, as if
paying its complements to every body, and
settled itself with a flounder at the bride’s
feet. A roar, which might have shook St.
Andrews, burst from the crowd.
The bride married him notwithstanding,
and practiced through life the same forbear
ance—the first of matrimonial virtues—
which she Showed on the present occasion.
Poor F , notwithstanding the sober
ing effects of matrimony, continued always
the most absent man in the world; and one
instance occurred, some fifteen or sixteen
years after his marriage, which his wife us
ed to tell with preat glee. She was a very no
ble woman, and good housekeeper. Orig
inally a Presbyterian, she had conformed to
the views of her husband, and regularly fre
quented the Episcopal church. One Sun
day, just before the carriage came to take
her husband to the morning service, she
went down to the kitchen, as was her cus
tom, in mercantile parlance, to take stock,
and give her orders. She happened to be
somewhat longer than usual; the carriage
was announced and poor F , probably
proscription, but for the link it forms, in the
train of events that will be developed. The
bringing of him forward afterwards, by your
suggestion, as a candidate for the U. States
Senate, hid your hypocracy from the eyes
of the uninitiated, while you appeared in
the light of a disinterested person. You
very well knew, however, that under the
circumstances, Mr. Jenkins’ honorable na
ture would unhesitatingly cause him to re
ject the proffered trust, and that then the
field would be left open to you, without any
prominent competitor. And you were ele
vated to the position ; whether deservingly
or not, is to be seen ;—but the event closed
the first act in this political drama.
It is said that the eagle and the snake
are sometimes seen in the same elevated
positions—'but the manner they attained
them, is ih singular contrast. The eagle
soars proudly, with a lofty and a noble mein
in the full view of admiring men—the
snake winds his tortuous way through
brake and bramble, and his path is tracked
only by the slime he leaves. Mark the
simile ! Berrien soared like an eagle—you
crawled like a snake !—but upon your tracks

AN ECCENTRIC SCOTCHMAN.
The following amusing anecdote we copy
from Harper’s New Monthly Magazine:
Some fifty years ago, in the good city of
Edinburgh, many of the conveniences, and
even necessaries of household comfort were
arranged in a very primitive manner. It
was about this time, or a little before it, that
a gentlemen, whom I afterward knew very
well, Mr. J F , wooed and won a
very beautiful girl of the best society in the
city. His doing so was, indeed, a marvel
to all; though young, witty, and well-look
ing, he was perhaps the most absent man
upon the face of the earth; and the wonder
was that he could even recollect himself suf
ficiently to make love to one woman for two
days consecutively. However, so it was; and
a vast number of mistakes and blunders
having been got over, the wedding day was
appointed and came. The ceremony wa5 to
be performed in the house of the bride’s
father; and a large and fashionable compa
ny was assembled at the hour appointed.
The bridegroom was known to have been in
the house^ome time; but he did not appear;
and minister parents, bride, bridesmaids,
and bridesmen, all full dressed, the ladies
in court lappets, and the gentlemen with
chapeau bras under their arms, began to
look very grave.
- The bride’s brother, however, knew his
friend’s infirmity, and was also aware that
he had an exceedingly bad habit of reading
classical authors in places the. least fitted for
such purposes. He stole out of the room,
then, hurried to the. place where he expec
ted his future brother-in-law might be found;
and a minute after, in Spite of doors and
stair-cases his voice was heard exclaiming,
“Jimmy, Jimmy: you forget you are going
to be a married, man. Every one is wait
ing for you.”
“I will come directly—I will come direct
ly,” cried another voice—“I quite forget—
go and keep them amused.”
The young gentleman returned, with a
smile upon his face; but announced that the
bridegroom would be - there in an instant;
and the whole party ajranged themselves in
a formidable semi-circle. This was just
complete, when the door opened, and the
bricfegroom appeared. All eves fixed upon
him—all eyes turned toward his left arm,
wker&bis chapeau bras should have been;
concentrate his thoughts, and that was the
law, in the profession of which he obtained
considerable success, although, occasionally
an awful blunder was committed; but,
strange to say, never in the strictly legal
part of his doings. He would forget his
own name, and write that of some triend of
whom he was thinking instead He would
confound plaintiff with defendant, and wit
nesses with counsel; but he never made a
mistake in an abstract legal argument.
There, where no collateral, and, as he im
agined immaterial circumstances were con
cerned—such as, who was the man to be
hanged, and who was not—the reasoning
was clear, and cornected; and for all little
infirmities of mind, judges and jurors, who
generally knew him well, made due allow
ance.
Other people had to make allowance also;
and especially when, between terms, he
would go out to pay a morning visit to a
friend, Mrs. F never counted, with any
certainty, upon his return for a month. He
would go into the house where his call was
to be made, talk for a few minutes, take up
a book, and read till dinner time—dine—-
and lucky if he did not fancy himself in
his own house, and take the head of the ta
ble. Towards night he might find out his
delusion, and the next morning proceed
upon his way borrowing a clean shirt, and
leaving his dirty one behind him. Thus it
happened, that at the end of a twelvemonth
his warbrobe comprised a vast collection of
shirts, of various sorts and patterns, with his
own name on very few of them.
The stories of poor Jimmy F- ’s ec
centricities in Edinburgh were innumerable.
On one occasion, seeing a lady, on his re
turn home coming away from his own door
he handed her politely into her carriage,
expressing his regret that she had not found
Mrs. F- at home.
“I am not surprised, my dear,” said the
lady, who was in reality his own wife t “that
you forget me, when yoji so often forget
“God bless me,” cried Jimmy, with the
most innocent air in the world. “I was quite
sure I bad seen you somewhere before;
but could not tell where it was.”
Kossuth’s Secret Address to tlte
Germans..
The New York Herald contains what
purports to be a translation of a secret cir
cular letter, addressed by Kossuth to the
German citizens of this country. The fol
lowing is a copy of it:
New York, June 28, 1852.
Sir :—I hope you have read already my
German farewell speech, delivered June
23d, in the Tabernacle, at New York, and
also the resolutions of the meeting, which
were passed consequently.
' I hope further, that the impression which
this matter has made upon both political
parties, has not escaped your attention.
Indeed, it is not easy to be mistaken that
the German citizens of America will have
the casting vote in the coining election, if
they are united in a joint direction upon the
platform of the principles set forth in the
speech aforementioned.
They may decide the exterior policy of
the next administration of the United States
and with that upon the triumph or the fall
of liberty in Europe.
Never yet were the German citizens of
America in this decided position.
The leaders of the political parties have
arrived at the acknowledgment of this pow
er, and they are alarmed, for they know
that in the most unfavorable case, the Ger
mans are able to make unsafe, at least, any
combination or calculation of the parties.
Will the German citizens conceive this
important position, which will not come
back in a century ?
I hope God, the almighty protector of
liberty, may prevent it. They are neglec
ting the moment. Will they esteem prin
ciples higher than names and denomina
tions of parties 1
I hope they will. The position of Am
ericans a power—the liberty of Europe, of
Germany, of Hungary, of Italy—depends
upon them.
For God’s sake do your best, that your
German fellow-citizens occupy this position
and ratify the principles ?put up in said
speech, by meetings and resolutions, and
declaring the intimated direction as theirs.
Act quickly. Keep the power of the po
sition uncompromised in your hand until
the one or the other parties offers substan
tial guaranties. This is now of the utmost
importance. If I should be so happy as to
induce the German citizens in different
parts of the United States publicly to ap
prove of my principles and of the intimated
direction, thereby furnishing the argument
that they would support this policy, this
would put me in a position to carry on effi
cient negotiations with the parties, and
would enable me to offer such guaranties to
them as will answer the principles and sym
pathies of German hearts.
God sees mymiost secret thoughts. He
knows it is not mere vanity which agitates
my heart. No, the consciousness of Euro
pean liberty depends upon the unanimous
support of the German citizens of America,
stimulates me in making this communica
tion.
My requests are as follows :
1. Cause a German meeting to be called
without delay. The object of it should be
to consult which way the German citizens
of America should take in the pending Pres
idential qaestion.
2. A committee of influential men—if
possible of both parties—should prepare
resolutions, among which the following :
a.—That the German citizens of who

fourche Interior.
are entitled to vote, approve of the princi
ples laid down in my New York speech, of
June 23, and sustain the means and policy
which were recommended there, because
they acknoweldge them as such that are
only and solely fit to promote the true in
terests of the United States, and of freedom
in Europe. On that reason they should
govern the conduct of all German citizens.
b.—That they request me publicly not to
leave the United States without having
communicated before to the Geiman citizens
of- , which party has given the most ac
ceptable assurance, or rather guaranties
of being resolved to act on this basis in the
Presidential question. 1
e.—That they consider, especially the re
peal, or at least an interpretation of the neu
trality laws of 1818, conformable to the
principles of individual rights, guarantied
by the Constitution to the citizens of the
United States, as a specially desirable is
sue.
d.—That they request their fellow-citi
zens of other races, to unite with them on
that high basis of universal liberty, and of
the honor and welfare of the United States.
These proceedings would be of immense
importance. Open actions and secret in
trigue are at work to annihilate its suc
cess.
But the Germans have become a power.
Woe to them, if they should neglect this
hint of Providence.' The movement must
be crystalized, that it may not waste its
strength.. The more it is manifest that t
and my policy may rely upon the support
of the German citizens, the more I can do
for the matter, which is so dear also to
your hearts.
In the name of the veneration I enter
tain, for America, in the name of the sup
pressed nations of Europe. I conjure you
to lend us your aid in the direction intima
ted. ..
Let us soon hear of an activity so ar
dently longed for.
With high esteem, fraternal respects,
and shaking of hands, your most obedient.

Cure for Deafness.
What will not a person who is so unfor
tunate as to be “hard of hearing” try, by
way of remedy, for his deafness ? It is a
terrible affliction, and we have a friend who
has experimented with one half of the doc
tors and quacks in this neighborhood, in
his attempts to obtain relief from his try
ing misfortune. A Mr. S. W. Jewett has
lately sent the following to an exchange,
and vouches for its efficacy. We publish
it for the benefit of the afflicted, and it is so
simple, that a trial of this experiment, in
similar cases, can certainly do no great harm
to the patient.
At about three years of age, a danghter
of Hon. Daniel Baldwin, of Montpelier, be
came very deaf of both ears. In conversa
tion it was difficult to make her hear, and
she continued in this wretched state until
about eighteen years of age, when an In
dian doctor chanced to see her, who told
her mother, Mrs. B., that the oil of onion
and tobacco would cure her if prepared as
follows:
“Divide an onion, and from the centre
take out a piece the size of a common wal
nut; fill this cavity with a fresh quid of to
bacco, and bind the onion together in its
usual shape; roast it, then trim off the out
er part until you come to that portion
slightly colored or penetrated by the tobac
co ; put it into a vial. Three drops of this
oil Mrs. B. informed me, she dropped into
her ear after her daughter had retired to
bed, which immediately gave her consider
able pain which lasted some time. Before
morning, however, her hearing was so ex
tremely delicate and sensitive, that she suf
fered by the sound of common conversa
tion ! This she overcame, and for more
than three years past her hearing has been
entirely restored, to the great joy of her
parents and friends! Having been ac
quainted with the family for many years,
the case is so miraculous and gratifying,
that I cannot, in justice to the afflicted, re
frain from making this simple and effectual
remedy for deafness known.—New Eng
land Cultivator.
A Broken Heart.
Tlie World’s Fair at New York.
. The N. Y. Evening Post says the fol
lowing is a memorandum of objects lately
received from Europe, as promised, for the
exhibition in the Crystal Palace :
About eighty packages, which arrived
by the Hendrick, Hudson, Ocean Queen,
and Sir Robert Peel, from London, are
warehoused in the United States govern
ment bonded store. They contain sundry
goods that were in the London exhibition,
including statuary, procelain, paintings on
porcelain, candelabra, musical instruments,
casts, &c. From the Danish department,
statuary, porcelain, porcelain paintings,
casts, &c. The celebrated colossal statute
of the “Amazon,” by Professor Kiss, of
Berlin, has arrived in this city. The Turk
ish Ambassador has written to the Agent
Mr. C. Buschek, of London, that the Sultan
views this enterprise with much approba
tion, and will send a government steamer,
with the contributions of Ottoman indus
try, direct to this port. The colossal statue
of Washington, by Baron Marochetti, (who
took a council medal for his “Richard Cieur
de Lion’”) is completed, and represented
to be a most magnificent work of art. The
French Government have promised to ex
hibit a collection of Gobelin Tapestry and
Sevres Porcelain, even more complete than
that shown in London. The Town Coun
cil of Liverpool have promised to send the
model of that town, as exhibited at Lon
don. Monti will send one of his celebrated
veiled figures. The London Ait Union
promise an interesting collection of statutes
&c. The Demidoff family have promised
to send samples of their manufactures in
malachute, which are said to be unequalled
in their way.
Slave Decision in Texas.—A case has
been decided in the District Court for the
county of Bexar, in Texas, which, if con
firmed in the Supreme Court, will operate
it is said, to declare several thousands of
blacks free, who have been held heretofore
as slaves. A slave woman was carried
from the United States to Austin’s Colony,
in Texas, in 1826. Slavery was not re
cognized by the laws of Mexico at the time.
The constitution of Conhuila and Texas
was proclaimed early in 1827, and the wo
man, the subject of suit, daughter of the ori
ginal slave, was born on the Brazos about
the middle 1827. When the constitution
of 1.836 was adopted by the Republic of
Texas, slavery was established, and the
mother slave was of the class enumerated
in that constitution as slaves. The daugh
ter, having been born in the country, was
not included by the provisions of the con
stitution.
In a suit, involving the question of the
freedom of this girl, it has been decided that
the condition of blacks in the country du
ring the existence of the Mexican law was
that of freedom, and that the act of sover
eign power in remanding them to the ori-
o-inal condition of slaves, of which they held
when imported from the United States,
did not effect their offspring born in the
country, before the adoption of the consti
tution of the Republic, who are consequent
ly free.
jgggr Nothing was so much dreaded in
our school-boy days as to be punished by
sitting between two girls. Ah! the force
of education. In after years we learned to
submit to such things without shedding atear
The interesting case of a literally broken
heart we subjoin, was related by Dr. J. K.
Mitchell, of the Jefferson College, Philadel
phia, to his class! st winter while lecturing
upon the diseases of the heart. It will be
seen, on perusiug it, that the expression
“broken hearted,” is not merely figurative.
In the early part *of his medical career,
Dr. M. accompanied as surgeon a packet
that sailed between Liverpool and one of
our southern ports. On the return voyage
soon after leaving Liverpool, while the
doctor and the captain of the vessel, a
weather-beaten son of Neptune, but posses
sed of uncommon feelings and strong im
pulses, were conversing in the latter’s state-’
room, the captain op&ued a large chest, and
carefully took out a number of articles of
various descriptions, which he arranged up
on a table. Dr. M., surprised at the dis
play of costly jewels, ornaments, dresses,
and all the varied paraphrenalia of which
ladies are naturally fond, inquired of the
captain his object in having made so many
valuable purchases.' The sailor; in reply
said that for seven or eight years he had
been devotedly attached to a lady, to whom
he had several times made proposals of
marriage, but was as often rejected ; that
her refusal to wed him, however, had only
stimulated his love to greater exertion; and
that finally, upon renewing his offer, declar
ing in the ardency of his passion tfiat
without her society life was not worth
living, she consented to become his bride
upon his return from his next voyage. He
was so overjoyed at the prospect of a mar
riage, from which, in the warmth of his
feelings, he probably anticipated more hap
piness than is generally allotted to mor
tals, that he spent all his ready money while
in London for bridal gifts. After gazing at
them fondly for some time, and remarking
on them in turn, “I think this will please
Annie,” and “I am sure she will like that,”
he replaced them with the utmost care.
This ceremony be repeated every day du
ring the voyage ; and the doctor often ob
served a tear glistening in his eye, as he
spoke of the pleasure he would have in
presenting them to his affianced bride.
On reaching his destination, the captain
arrayed himself with more than usual pre
cision, and disembarked as soon as possible
to hasten to his love. Ashe was about to
step into the carriage awaiting him, he was
called aside by two gentlemen who desired
to make a communication, the purport of
which was that the lady bad proved un
faithful to the trust reposed in her, and had
married another, with whom she bad de
camped shortly before. Instantly the cap
tain was observed to clap bis hand to his
breasts, and fall heavily to the ground.
He was taken up and conveyed to his room
on the vessel. Dr. M., was immediately
summoned; but before be reached the poor
captain, he was dead. A post mortem ex
amination revedled the cause of his unfortu
nate decease. His heart was found liter
ally torn in twain ! The tremendous pro
pulsion of the blood, consequent upon such
a violent nervous shock, forced the powerful
muscular tissues assunder, and life was at
an end. The heart was broken.—“To
day.”
General Scott Before the Nomination*
The following extract from a letter publish
ed in the New York Herald, is no doubt to
be received, with some grains of allowance,
but it certainly has some varisemblance a-
bout it:
“General Scott freely expresses bis indig
nation at the presumption and impudence
of Mr. Fillmore in continuing to stand in
his way, when the wishes of the whig par
ty have been so unmistakably expressed, in
the appointment of delegates to the Balti
more whig Convention. It- is said that at
a late dinner party, General Scott made no
secret of his opinions on this point. A
friend of the administration present, dispos
ed to conciliation, or at least a temporary
armistice, took occasion to say that Mr.
Fillmore had no particular desire for the
Presidency, and no unkind feeling towards
General Scott whatever. “Oh, no!” replied
the General, “Mr. Fillmore, of coarse does
not care for the Presidency—we all know
that. Blit why, in the name of God, sir,
does he continue to stand in my way, when
he knows, as well as you know, that I am
the choice of nineteen twentieths of the
whig party ?” “Why, General his South
ern friends insist on it. They do not like
the friendly terras on which you stand to
wards Governor Seward.” “God d—n Sew
ard ! (the General will swear on a pinch.)
What have I to do with Seward—a mere
subaltern of the whig party, a mere baga
boo ? But does any man think I am going
to be fool enough to throw away the whig
free soil voters for nothing ? No, sir! And
if Mr. Fillmore wishes to show his good
will towards me and the whig party, let him
resign. He stands now in a bad position,
and the faction at his back are doing all
they can to crush me, and he knows it.”
On beinginformedof the democratic n omi-
natioh of Pierce, General Scott is reported
to have said—“Well, I am sorry, for it; I
have lost a vote, for I fully expected Pierce
to support me in this election.”
Two widowers were once condoling to
gether on the recent bereavement of their
wives, one of them,exclaimed, with a sigh ;
‘Well may I bewail my loss, for I had so
few differences with the dear deceased, that
the last day of mv marriage was as happy
as the first.*’ ‘There ! surpassed, you,’ said
his * friend, ‘for the last day of mine
was the happiest.’
Cora Crops In Cherokee#
A correspondent of the Savannah Morn
ing News of the 30th ult., waiting from the
Look-out Mountain gives a flattering ac
count of the Corn crops in upper Georgia,
says
“My attention has been attracted nett, on
ly by the flourishing condStion of the earn
crops throughout the entire portion of the
Cherokee country traversed by the State
Road; but also by the immense extent of
the growing crops. Judging from my own
observation, as well as from what I hear
from the planters in this section, I have not
a doubt that the present will be the largest
corn crop ever made in Georgia. The scar
city and high prices of the past two seasons
have induced the planting of double the
usual quautity, and the present favorable
season insures an immense crop this faS, T
learn from gentlemen from various portions
of Tennessee and Alabama that the same
state of.things.exist in these States. It is
believed by some that millions of bushels
of corn may be purchased at Chattanooga
and other interior markets this fall at 20
cents per bushel. I have heard, of offers
having already been made to supply any-
amount of corn at 26 cents. The sqpply
will be vastly more than sufficient for home
consumption, and unless an outlet can be
found for it, corn must soon be a drug in
our markets.
But for the State Road the corn now
maturing in the Cherokee country would
not be worth the trouble of harvesting. In
deed there is no computing the immense
Benefits which must and have already resul
ted to this section of the country from the
construction of our great State vjork. What
we have seen and now are experiencing is
but the beginning of the end; the true val
ue of our State Road will never be fujly re
alized until the system of Roads beyond, iu
Tennesse and Kentucky, and which will ail
be more or less tributary to our own Road,
are completed and in operation. No one
can pass over the roads from Savannah to
Chattanooga without being forcibly im
pressed with the magnitude of the groat
system of internal improvements which a
few years has called into existence in Ge«
gia, and which is now extending through
out the South Western States. *
Connected with this is another snbjedt
which should not be overlooked by buj
commercial men of Savannah at this time.
The time is at hand when an outlet mast be .
provided for the immsense products of the
rich sections of country opened by onr
roads. The corn and bacon of Cherokee
Georgia and Tennesse must find a foreign
market. No other section of the Unron, as
accessible to the seaboard, can com pete
with this in the production of these articles
The corn market of Baltimore from which
the West India Islands and portions of Sc
rope are supplied, must be transferred to
Savannah or Charleston. Whichever oi
these cities first opens an export trade by
which the corn and bacon of Georgia and
Tennessee willffind, an oputlet, will becom<
the market for the produce of this seetkra
of country. The feeling among the petqfie
of Cherokee Georgia is, I am happy to be
lieve, in favor of the seaport of their ew;
State, and all that remains to be done is
for Savannah to take the necessary steps to
tenable her to accommodate and promote
the trade which is destinsd to increase in
