“Not exackly,” ses I, “but you
can pay without going in.”
“Dew you knovrwho we air?’’ sed
one .of the wimen—a tall & ferosbus
lookin critter, with a blew kotton
umbreller under her arm—“dew you
know who we air, Sur ?” , ,
“My impresshun is,” sed
a kursery vow, that you air fetnadj^k" ,
“We air, Sur,” sed the l^l^hus
woman—“we belong to a Soskity
which bleeves wimin has riles—which

whitch bleeves she is trampild on k.

Durin her discourse, the exsentric
female grabd me by the coat-kollar
& was swingin her umbreller wildly
over my hed.
“I hope, marm,” sez I, startin
back, “that your intenshunsis honer-
able? Ime a lone man, hear in a
strange place. Becides, Ive a wife

“Yes,” cride the female, “& sites

throwin off the yoke of tyrinny &
thinkin & speakin & votin for herself?
Doth she ever think of these here

“Not bein a natral horn fool,” set!
I, by this time a little riled, “I kin
safely say that she dothunt."
“O, whot—whot!’’ sCrfettned the
female, swiiigip her umbreller in the
air, “0, whot is the price that woman
pays for her xpecricnse!
“1 don’t know, marm,’? sez I; “the
price to my Show is 15 cents pur

“& can’t our Sosiety go in free ?”
asked the female.
“Not if I know .it*’ sed I.
“Crooil man I” she cride, & busl
into tears.
“Won’t you let my darter in ?” set!
anutlier of the exsentric wimin,*takin
me afeckshunitly by the hand. “O,
please let my darter in—shees a sweet
gushin child of natur.’’
“Let her gush!” roared I, as mad
as I cood stick at their tavnal non-
cents; “let her gush !” "Whereupon
they all sprung back with the simul-
tanious obsarvushum that I was a

“My female friends” sed I, “bc4

Idiocrasy of the Hog.
The editor of tho Yazoo, Mis3., De
mocrat, being Very much annoyed by
some ChsawatOtaie porkers that in
vaded his truck patch, and played the
devil with the good looks of his gar
den, sat himself down in a philoso
pliical mood to study the idiocrasy of
his tormentors. Hero is the result
of his reflections:
The common hog (Porcus Quadra
peda) is, in some respects a wonderful
animal, and in every respect a con
founded rascal. (We don’t think this
opinion has ever been advanced be
fore, and therefore claim it a9 origi
nal.) He is wonderful in respect to
his muzzle—vulgarly called snout—
which comprises most of his stock in
trade. It is undoubtedly a marvelous
piece of mechanism, and nsoneevinc-
ing design, is hardly .surpassed by
the human hand.
Hie rascality is palpable in his acts,
and he seems entirely incapable of
cultivating an honest motive. More
over, he is the contrariest animal that
ever breathed, notwithstanding this
quality has been claimed for one with
longer ears. Turn him into a corn
field to fatten and he’ll break out.—
Try to stop him out of a cornfield, and
he’ll break in in spite of the devil.—
He always goes contrary to your
wishes. If you wanted to keep him
in your yard, you couldn’t; if you
wanted him to stay out, he wouldn’t
to save your life. Whenever he sets
his mind on an* object, nothing can
turn him from it. He’ll work for day’s
together at a paling, and notwithstand
ing you may dog him, brickbat him,
and the like, he returns to his work
with renewed energy. Perhaps,
when you are not expecting it, the
first thing you know he’s inside. —
l ~ Sometimes through it, and sometimes
under it. One way or another, how
ever, if he take a notion, he’s hound
to go, und you might just a9 well let
him in. The only way to get rid of
him under such circumstances, is ei
ther to kill him or shut him up inside;
in the latter case he’ll soon break ont.
London Times of Dec. 28th r
Wo were not wrong in supposing
thatthe enthusiasm for John Brown’s
memory would speedily die out r and
that the vagaries of the abolitionists
would cause a revulsion of feeling in
favor of the South. By the present
mail we learn that the country is most
indignant at the Bostonians," and
they; themselves seem not a little
ashamed of their proceedings. The
capital of Massachusetts was on De
cember 8th, the scene of a demon
stration in favor of tho Union, and
the more seusible portion of the citi-
zens had an opportunity of protesting
against the doings of their abolition
brethren. The tone of this meeting
was as patriotic and becoming as the
speeches at Treihont temple were
the reverse. Mr. Everett, a man re
spected throughout the Union, deliv
ered a speech which will, no doubt,
produce a great effect in all parts oj
the republic. He showed the wick
edness of Brown’s attempt, reminded
his hearers that the old man had long
meditated raising revolt, that lie was
aided by abolitionist money, and sup
plied with abolitionist guns and pikes;
that his plan was well considere d, in-
the disruption of a nation which has^ ; roof of his mouth; and crooking out
existed injnrosperity foreighlyyeafti ] Ms. elbow; stammers out the words,
yet that the necessity of self-ptescrca-
tlon\dictates this course.
It is for-the whole body of holiest
and reflecting men throughout the
United States to unite in claiming
these natural fears. The Union of
the American people is of importance
not only to themselves, but to tho
world at large. To Englishmen the
spread of our language, ofour religion,'
and, to a certain extent, of our laws
and planners, can never cease to be
an object of interest; nor can we
desire success to the fanatics, who, in
their wild dream of raising an in
ferior race, would imperil all that
lms been accomplished in the New
World daring two centuries of industry
and genius. That the harshness of
masters in the Southern States may
be lessened, that the slaves may re
ceive education and moral instruc
tion, and that ultimately slavery-may
be changed into a system by which
the colored race shall enjoy personal
liberty and the legal rights which are
necessary for the preservation of life
and property, wo most heartily de
sire ; hut anything further we cannot
join in seeking. Well might Mr.
Everett ask: “Has any one whose

W OULD rasjwclfulty inform Mr friend*
and the public generally, that he i.
full of arms and occupying a good
E osition ; and that his enterprise on-
jt failed because the slaves were not
ripe for insurrection, as they were re
presented to be. Mr. Everett then
read extracts from the narrative of
the revolt in St. Domingo, to show
the horrors which necessarily follow
from such an outbreak as Brown
sought to cause, and he might cer
tainly liave directed attention to the
present stale of the island as a proof
of how little the world is likely to
gain by the establishment of a negro
commonwealth. Using the argu
ments which suggest themselves to
every reflecting man, he called upon
the people of the North to discontinue
the system of provocation which they
used towards the Southern people,
and to use all means to strengthen
the Union, which abolition madness
had endangered. The reception of
Mr. Everett was most enthusiastic,
and liiseloqpent appeal will no donbt
produce the best effect both on his
own neighbors and on the irritated
Southerners.
In many other places meetings have
been held to express sympathy with
Virginia, and abhorrence , of such
schemes as that of Brown and his as
sociates. In New York a manifesto
to the same effect.has been circulated
and numerously signed, and there is
Call hat Ins too mock Land.
The farmers generally attempt to
cultivate too much land. The dis
advstngeaarising from this cause, are
many anti obvious. It is no exaggera
tion to say, that the lands cultivated
in the country arc capable under
high state of cultivation, of producing
twice as much as they now produce.
When will our farmers in the coun
try fully appreciate this truth ?
There is no one thing that contributes
so much to retard our agriculture, as
the folly of cultivating too much land.
In the first place, no farmer should
think of managing 80 or 100 acres
of land with one or two men. It is
bad economy to do so: nothing can
be expected from it hut poverty
of both" land and purse. How much
better it would he to cultivate half
the number of acres, or less, and do
it well. It costs just as much to plow
an acre that will yield ten bushel;
out the .details of a plan for effecting
abolition at once by any legislative
measure that could be adopted?”
The abolitionists would have the popu
lation of thg Southern States turned
into a mixed race, whites, blacks and
innlatoes being on terms of equality,
and constantly intermarrying; but if
ona thing more than another has
tended to give to the Anglo-Saxon
race in the New World the victory
over the Spanish, ir is that it has
kept itself apart from the red and ne
gro races, and lodged power constant
ly in the hands of meu of European
origin. It has been fully proved; not
only on the American continent, but
in our own colonies, that the enforced
equality of European and African
tends, not to the elevation of the black,
but to the degradation of ihe white
man. We cannot find-any sympathy
for those who would try in the Unit
ed States the plan of a half caste
republic, and we trust that the fedeial
government and the right thinking
part of the community will protect
the South from the repetition of such
outrages as that at Harper’s Ferry.
A Word to YLoyjpf. ■ n'
Some one has said: “Boys, did
you ever think that this great world,
ith all its wealth and woe, with all
no donbt that the feeling in the coun- *ts mines and mountains, its oceans,
try will be such as to strengthen-the f* as an< J views, with all its shipping.
Federal Government and tho several
Southern States against such male
factors for the future. In this result
we most sincerly rejoice. Mr. Eve
rett, in his speech, expressed appre
hensions for the future of the Union,
in which we should not Have been
inclined to share. But, as his ex
perience and observation on this sub
ject have been very great, we must
conclude that of late the party war
has been carried on with a virulence
which leads even people accustomed
to American exaggeration to feel
that there is danger; and, indeed,
the attempt at Harper’s Ferry must
necessarily have brought new con
side'ifatHMis into the controversy. For
merly, th« North Contented itself
with attacking the planters in news
papers or speeches, and decoying
away or giving shelter to their ne
groes; but now the Abolitionists have

“Retained for the Snake,”
The San Andreas Independc.nttells
the following anecdote of Col.. J.
(Col. James, we suspect) a San Fran
cisco lawyer, who, during the late
campaign, put up for the night at a
hotel in one of the Northern counties.
The Colonel “went in” to a little
game of poker, (ouw we’re certain)
and “went through,’’ and soon crept
.off to bed. Soon after, a brawny
specimen of Pike, dressed in “jeans’
and wolf-skin cap, arrived in searcii
of legal advice. He. was taken im
mediately to the Colonel’s room,
where, after wolf-skin had shaken
the legal gentleman into conscious-,
ncse, tlie following conversation oc
curred : ; . • - • „
“ Are you Squir^ J——.?” '
“ Y"es, what do you want, old boy.?”
“Wall, Squire, reckon I shall hev
ter git a.feller o’ your sort fur tui
plead a lawsuiu”
“ What’s U about, my-good maa?”
“’Bout a boss.” .. .. .
Here the Colonel was all attention
