Judge P. ceased, but in a few mo

“Who is she, Judge f* a*ked Mr. Q.,
as he lounged in one corner of the car,
with his nether extremities carted up

“Well, the feet is, I don’t exactly

recognize her; but she is dressed in grey
silk, and stands yonder, under a big
maple tree, near my friend John B.’s

By-and-by the locomotive gave a snort,
and the train began to move. Judge
Pollock again flirted his cambric to the
lady in a final salute, and this time Jim
Quiggle thought be would have a peep

A Venerable Hat.—The Eastern
Argus tells about one of its subscribers
calling at the office wearing a bat which
he had worn for the lastfo>ty years. Of
course be dtd not wear it every day, hut
kept it for Sunday use, and wore it oc
casionally on holidays. It was still a
good hat, and looked as though it would
last forty years more. The owner said
that the changes of style made it a fash
ionable bat every five or six years.

him up in a state of- virulent paroxysm
of laughter, and laid him out upon the
seat After sacrificing all the buttons on
his vest and waistbands, he explained to
the Judge the occasion of the cnchin-
natory spasm. The Judge had been
exchanging salutes for twenty minutes
with an iron-grey mare, whose long
white tail, as it flapped away the flies,
had been taken by him for a white hand
kerchief, waved by a lady in a grey silk
dress! The Judge didn\ swear, but lie
changed the subject to saw-mills, th
only portion of which was intelligible
being the frequent repetition of the
word “dam "
The Blce Ridge Raileoad.—The
Board of Directors have determind to
put an end t j the contract with Bangs
& Co., (the original patties having al
together left the concern,) and to take
the work under their immediate man
agement. They have elected to the
dp<* of Grief Engineer, Ool. Walter
Gwyon, a gentleman who has had,
probably, a larger experience in such
works, and shows a more perfect know
ledge of their coat and management,
than any man in the United States. We
cannot but congratulate the Board on
their choice, as we are sure it was the
very best they could make.
The tribqle of the Board to the fideli-
ty, integrity, and zeal of ffir. Lythgoe,
their late Chief Engineer, Is sincere and
well-deserved, and will be seconded by
all who know that laborious, honest and
true-hearted man.
We may state that the affairs of tiie
Blue Ridge Railroad are now in a very
promising condition—better than ever
before, and that its steady and rapid ad
vancement is confidently counted on.
The tunnel at the Stump House Moun
tain has been cut to the distr nee of 170
feet on this side and 69 feet on the
other; while the four shafts from above
have been sunk toabont half their depth.
The rock is everywhere found of a
quality not difficult to work, but com
pact, and needing no maronry io support
the excavations. So far. the cost of the
work has been within the estimates—a
confirmation, if any were needed, of Mr.
Ly tbgoe’s sagacity and integrity.
The Chief Engineer at once enters
on the duties of his new position, and,
accompanied by President Frost, left
the city last evening for Andersou.—
Char. Mercury.
Mr. Fillmore.—A Washington let
ter to the New York Courier says that
the latest advices received from Mr. Fill
more in’this country,were dated at Rome,
in the month of February. He was then
alnut to depart for Naples, and from
that port would depart for Alexandria,
in Egypt. The Ex-Presidant would
probably proceed from that place to
Cairo and the Pyramids, and might
tbeuce continue his excurtion to Jerus
alem. If he set out on his tour by the
middle of February, it is expected that
be would reach Trieste upon his return,
from the middle of April to the first of
Maj. It is not unlikely, therefore that
the first information of his nomination
will reach M. Fillmore on his return to
Europe, and of consequence, that he will
bring his response to it in person.—Balt

nominations of the Philadelphia Con
vention reached us, we have taken pains
to ascertain the sentiments of the Ameri
can party in the county and State so
saj that no nominations have ever been
made which were received with such
universal cordiality as those of Fillmore
and Donelson. In Phillips county, we
have not heard of a single member of
the party who disapproved the action of
the convention, but on the contrary, are
delighted with it—and many gentlemen
who have never joined lire American
order have expressed a determination to
vote the ticket. Mr. Fillmore has hun
dreds of devoted admirers in Phillips
county—hundreds of American freemen
who prefer him for the Presidency to
any other man on earth, and in Novem

over any candidate the Cincinnati Con

candidate be Franklin Pierce.

Married Men’s Repost upon
Women’s Rights.—A petition for Wo
man's Rights, addressed to the New
York legislature, was referred in that
body to the Judiciary Committee, which
has lately made a report. According
to the New York Daily News, the Com
mittee say that they are enabled to -state
that ladies always have the best piece and
choicest tit-bit at table. They have
the best seat in the cars, carriages and
sleighs;the warmest place in winter,
and the coolest place in summer. They
have tbeir choice on which side of the
bed they will lie, front or back. A lady’s
dress costs three times as much as that
cf a gentleman, and at the present time,
with the prevailing fashion, one lady oc
cupies three times as much space iu the
world as a gentleman.
‘-It has (has appeared to the married
gentleman of your Committee, being a
majority, (the bachelors being silent for
the Reason mentioned, and also, proba
bly, for the further reason that (hey arj
still suitors lor the favors of (he gentler
sex,) that if there is any inequality or
oppression in the case the gentlemen are
the sufferers. They, however, have
presented no petitions for redress, having
doubtless made up their minds to an in
evitable destiny.
“On the whole, the Committee have
NHicluded to recommend no measures
except that, as they have observt d,sever
al instances in which husband and wife
have both signed the same petition. In
such case they would recommend the
|»art'es to apply for a law auhorizing
them to change dresses so that the hus
band may wear the petticoats and lb
wife the breeches, and thus indicate to
their neighbors and the public the true
relation in which they stand with each
other.”
Famine Among the Indians.—The
St. Paul Democrat says, that there is
mu;h suffering among the Indians of
Minnesota, especially among the Yank-
tons of the Missouri. Owing to their
proximity to the belligerent Sioux of the
Missouri, the Government saw proper
to interdict the trade in guns or ammu
nition with them last fall; as a conse
quence they were thrown back upon the
primitive means of securing game, by
the bew and arrow. Buffalo being scarce
doth, who has more money than brains,
and very little of either. On the other
band, the husband plays off his tricks in
torn, and flirts with the reigning belles
until the smell of fresh paint and the ex
hibitions of maudlin and puerile nonsense
sicken him off the track. 2^ l
In some respects this is quite bum-
less and beneath notice. In others, it
heroines highly importanUnhd demands
radical and immediate reform. Social
life has much to do with our national
character and movements. As arc the
people so wilt-be the nation, as a matter
of coarse; and if there is rottenness in
so-called “high society,” it will taint the
whole mass.
This is a growing evil. It lutz increased
to that extent, that half the heroes and
heroines in t-ur popular novels are re
presentations of this class. <5.ie of the
characters in Fanny. Fern’s late book
is an offender of this sort, and we have
no doobt she has many prototypes in
society.
It is a self evident truth that married
people have no business to ** flirt.” This
disposition, once indulged, the green-
eyed monster takes advantage of open
doors, and finds an easy access. The
husband and the wife htive, by the most
solemn vows, devoted their lives and
their all to each other’s happiness, and
those who array themselves for the pop
ular eye more than for those who are
theirs, and lheirs only, by the marriage
relation, are traitors.
Another thing, flirtation carried on by
married people, not only destroys the
sanctity of wedded life to a great degree,
but is vastly destructive of common vir
tue. What man that beholds such ex
hibitions can have the least faith in that
love which is fabled 10 exist aroond (be
family hearth-stone.
This is no trivial matter. It is one of
the radical evils of society. It is a fester
at the fonndation of the social system,
which unless destroyed in its iocipiency,
will rot down the whole system. The
dUtinguishing difference between heath
endom ami civilization is the marriage
1 elation. Let people beware bow that
relation is affected by false morality and
a false system of living

Columbus, Ohio, March 21.—The

RICHEST OF THE SEASON.
One of the rarest and richest feats
which sham and sublimated democracy
has lately tickled the amazed public
with, is to show up Mr. Donelson, the
American candidate, as an obscure and
insignificant personage. Well, let us
sec. In 1829 Gen. Jackson made him
his private Secretary—a very responsi
ble and confidential position. In 1S45
Mr. Donelson was appointed Minister to
1 be Republic of Texas, and aided in its
annexation to the United States. The
same year he was appointed by Mr.
Polk, minister to Prussia. In 1849 he
was appointed minister to Germany,and
heW that office under Gen. Taylor until
it was abolished.
The patriotic and conspicuous part he
played in the Nashville Convention, is
fresh in the mcmerj of oar readers.
When the venerable Ritchie—the
Talleyrand of the Democratic party—
retired from the Washington Union, Mr.
Donelson was selected as bis successor.
Disgusted with the spoils policy of Pierce
and his adminttration, he qoit the “dry-
rot” concern, and embarked in the good
cause of political reform—of American
izing America.
