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 with a wakeful eye, and a steady nerve, is PATHFINDER. knowing that if he gave himself a moment pause, he should forget himself, and his fife, and the church, and all other holy and bnerable things, went down after her, with 4e usual, “My dear, the carriage is waiting; e shall be very late.” I Mrs. F went through her orders fith customary precision, took up her pray" J-book, entered the carriag [reported FOR THE COLUMBUS ENQUIRER.] Supreme Court Decisions.

The lady seated her- ilf, and laid her prayer-book on the velvet ishion before her. Mr. F put hi hnd into his pocket, in search of his own fayer book, and pulled out a long parallel- >gram, which was not a prayer-book, but 'hick he laid on the cushion likewise. “I don’t wonder there was a smell of ba- on in the carriage, my dear,” whispered irs. p —; and, to his horror, .he per- eived lying before him, in the eyes of a iiousand persons, a very fine piece of red lupreme ouua was cor- : nd white streaky bacon which he had ta is not of itself sufficient <^n up in the kitchen, thiuking it was his prayer-book. ^ On only one subject could Mr. F 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 The cholera ha3 disappeared from La 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. (Signed) L. KOSSUTH. N. B.

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 importance from yeajr to year as the sources of this garden spot of the Union are developed by the immense population whiph it is destined to sustain. Poison Antidotes.—For oil of viti'ol, e aquafortis, give large doses of magnsia anc . water, or equal parts of soft soap and wa ter. For oxalic acid, give an emetic of tard and water, afterwards mucilages and small doses of laudanum. For opium or laudanum* give an emetic of mustard, and use constant motion, and if possible the stomach pump.
