repeated, with marked emphasis—“Col. Hum

Hicks lived to be a very old man, his health
being very feeble during his latter years. To
the day of his death lie retained his friendship
ting on her bonnet, and bidding adieu to her
entertainers, started for home, to the great re
lief of the guilty couple, who had feared some
trouble in getting rid of her. Immediately on
arriving at home, the wife proceeded to pack a
carpet hag with a pile of shirts, and other ne
cessaries, and startedon foot for the house where
her husband still remained. She hid herself
in the shadow of the trees and waited, but not
long. Soon her husband and the widow ex
changed good night with their hostess, the lat

’certainly tell his wife.” They seated tliem-

“Oh, my child! my child!” he cried, no Ion-1 selves comfortable in thc vehicle, when thc wife,

the side of the carriage and said, quietly, at thc
same time holding up the carpet big:
“D., don’t go without your shirts, for mercy
knows when vou will get any more.”
The blank'astonishment of the two may he
imagined. The simple wools, however, pro
duced the most complete re-action in the feelings
of the faithless husband. He looked into the
pale face of his wife, and met her clear gaze,
and saw that she knew all. He said: -
“M., we must take Mrs. home, and
then I will tell you how it happened.’
They did take Mrs. home, and lcltbcr
there. The husband and wife seem aftection-
atc and devoted as ever : but thc widow is dis-
satisfied with society at the IVcst, and thinks
of going East this Fall.
Our Itclations with Mexico.
We liavc the best of reasons for believing
that the embryo treaty between the two coun
tries will be. definitely concluded before Con
gress convenes.
Thc chief ohtaclc to its immediate conclusion
is contained in the proposed stipulation on the
pa Tl of this government in relation to thc con
trol which it shall exercise over thoright of the
different transit ways which Mexico agrees
to convey to us through her territory.
It is natural enough that she should wish to
exercise supreme control over her affairs within
her limits. It is quite as natural that wc should
wish to protect our interests there in thc event
that she may have thc incapacity or the indis
position to do so herself.
The most expeditious routes from the Atlan
tic to the 1‘acific, when opened, must ever be
those which are located in SIcxico. There can
lie but little doubt that thc first continuous rail
road connecting the two oceans will terminate
cither at Guayamas or Mnzatlan.
Ten years will not probably elapse before a
continuous line of locomotive communication
will be completed from Portland to the latter
port, if ample security can be given to tlio Uni
ted States that traffic shall not be subjected to
interruption by Mexican outlawry.
Mexico will he benefitted by such line to an
amount which would surpass the most extrav
agant computation of a rational investigation of
the subject.
As in the North, through our agency, so in
the South, she will derive large advantages
from thc completion of tlie Tehuantepec enter
prise.
But before her resources can be successfully
developed, she must give an ample guaranty
that capitalists shall be efficiently protected in
their investments. This she can do in no other
manner than by conferring power upon this
government, to use, if necessary, physical force
for the purpose.
With such terrible outlawry acts as ■ have
been committed during thc last two or three
years in Mexico, no sensible American would
engage in any enterprise in that republic un
less lie had substantial assurances that he would
be shielded against all adverse eventualities by
his own government.
We very well know that the present govern
ment of Mexico is entirely well-intentioned, as
relates to its intercourse with our citizens, but
it may occur that it will find itself incompetent
to execute its wishes. In thatcase it wouldlike-
iy desire our assistant, when it would find an
opposing party arrayed against the measure.—
To guard against such a contingency, it would
to tUo |mrl of wisdom for her to arrange' tlie
matter definitively by a treaty stipulation.
We regret to learn that Mexico is not pre
pared to dispose of Lower California at present.
A few months later, perhaps, she will be dispos-
ed to do so for a just consideration. Ilcr lead
ing men perceive distinctly that it is compara
tively of no value to her, but thc sentiment is
so strong, with a vast majority of the people,
against the sale of any more territory, that a
short time will be required to obtain their tacit
assent to its transfer.
To the United States its acquisition is of pri
mary importance. It is indispensable to the
successful development of the country border
ing upon the Pacific, and to the rapid extension
of our commerce and navigation in that ocean.
We trust that before the adjournment of Con
gress we shall sec it within our embraces.
The period seems to be so propitious for ac
complishing all that immediately concerns our
interests in Mexico, that we confidently expect
to sec the treaty, which is in embryo, perfected
by thc respective negotiators, by tlie end of No
vember. Mr. Mata will probably l>e full} - em
powered, if he is not already, to do so before
that time.
The Miramon concern has not so much as
the shadow of a chance to sustain its puny ex
istence through the approaching winter. It is
us good as hermetically sealed, aa relates to ex
ternal intercourse. Not so much as one port,
or one mile of sea-board, is in its possession. Its
effort to exercise authority is thc mcarest mock
ery ol public administration that ever was at
tempted by desperadoes.
With thc control ofall the custom-houses, the
Libcralists are receiving, from week to week, a
at thc Moor's house, but not an attempt was
| made to intercept the progress of the party,
thc Algerines being content with scowls and
1 denunciations. Ten minutes later the rescuers
were at the cutter, twenty minutes more and
tlie entire party was safely back to the Constel
lation, not having lost a man. The young
Lieutenant received the hearty thanks or the
superior, to say nothing of the gratitude of Mr.
j Collins and his daughter, whose family proved
to be of consequence in New York; and we are

Tolerably Ricb.
In the Canadian House of Assembly, not
long since, they had quite a spirited debate
on thc h>H to prohibit tlie use of hoops and
crinoline, introduced by Aiken. We publish
a few of the most brilliant passages :

Newly Discovered Gold Mines in
’ GEORGIA.
Col X. J. Scott of Auburn, Alabama, on his
return from New York, favored our sanctum
with a visit a day or two since, and left with us
a circular, from which we gather thc following
facts : Messrs. Mohonc Sc King have purchased
thc “Glade mines near Altoona in Cass County,
Ga. Thc value*of these mines is incalculable.
Col. Scott informed us that he was offered while
at thc North, three hundred thousand dollars,
for three eight’s interest in these mines, by res
ponsiblc parties and refused it. Professor John
Darby, a man of long experience and practical
knowledge in natural science, lias examined
these mines personally, and gives his testimony
in favor of tneir vast richness. He says:
The great Altoona branch, in Cass county,
Georgia, rises in this property, "from which mil
lions of dollars have been taken out from 1832
to tlie present time; and this branch and other
branches rising in this property would now
yield profitable results, in getting what gold
was left from the rude and imperfect working
of former years.
There arc three principal gold veins running
through this property, all of which have been
tested and gave tlie most gratifying results.
I have been over the gold-bearing region of
Georgia as well as of other States, and have
studied their geology, and I have no hesitation
in saying; that I have seen nothing to equal the
indications of the Mahonc and King Mines. I
entered the opening made on one of the veins,
with a workman, and took out more than fifty
dollars of gold with less than thirty minute’s
labor.
There arc three hundred and twenty acres of
land in this property, and thc length of thc
three veins cannot be less than two miles, and
the amount of deposit gold is in large quantity.
I have given the above from memory, at thc re
quest of jiartics interested, and it is not above,
what a strict examination will bear out. The
specimens that it has yielded in nuggets ol gold
taken from thc quartz rock weighing as high as
eighteen or nineteen dwtg., are seldom equalled
by the most productive regions of the' globe,
and 'hat too, under circumstances tlie least fa
vorable to Its proper development. Those de
sirous of engaging in mining operations for gold,
need not go to California, or New South Wales,
but in thc State of Georgia may find as safe in
vestment of capital as the world affords ; na
ture has planted it there, it cannot deceive.”

The Accident to the Great Eastern.
On the afternoon of the Oth, when the Great
Eastern was off Hastings, a feed-pipe casing the
forward tunnel, which bad been introduced on
the ground of economy in heat, and to keep the
heat of thc funnels from thc cabin, exploded
with terrific force, blow ing thc funnel into Hie
air, and tearing to pieces the grand saloon fid
lower deck cabins, through which thc fun
nel passed, and otherwise doing great damage
to tlie internal fittings. Great consternation
prevailed on board, but efforts prompt were
made to get at thc unfortunate uicn at thc en
gineering department, who were either buried
in the rubbish or prostrated by the steam.—
Three firemen were found in a dying state and
soon expired, while eight others were injured,
two of whom subsequently died. One fireman
was lost overboard, having cither fallen into thc
water or jumped into it to escape scalding.—
The injured met: were generally progressing
favorably, although two or- three of them were
in a precarious condition. The numerous guests
on board had only quited thc grand saloon,
through which the funnel passed, and in which
they had been dining, a few minutes before thc
explosion took place. But for this, thc conse
quences would have been most serious. The
explosion is skated to have probably been one
of the most terrific yvhich a vessel lias ever sur
vived, and which none in the world could
have withstood, save a structure of such mar
velous strength as the Great Eastern. She not
only resisted it, her frame sustaining no injury
whatever; but it made so little difference in
the movements of the vessel that the engines
were never once stopped till she reached Port
land. It is asserted that great objections had
bcen made to the casting around thc funnels,
but the directors persistedjn adopting tho plan,
notwithstanding it had been tried and aban
doned Ijy the Collins and other steamers. *
Prior to theaccident thc performance of the
Tessel was most satisfactory, and she was al
most without motion, while large vessels in her
vicinity were pitching and tossing in a stormy
sea. A survey of the vessel had been held, and
estimates sent in to forthwith repair thc dam
age at a cost of qot more than io,000, the in
jury being far less considerable than was at
first supposed.. Little if any delay would take
place in the departure of the ship on licr first
voyage, but a ruruor prevailed that she would
Tlie Aurora Rorcalis.
Accounts from all quarters indicate iiiat thc
late displays of thc Aurora extended over a
very large portion of thc earth’s surface, from
beyond thc Cnnadns to the Gulf of Mexico nnd
the West India islands—probably over thc lar
ger part of thc North American continent—and
Eastward as far, at. least, as the Western coast
of Europe.
It was seen in England on the morning of
the 2Gth of August, a time corresponding with
our midnight display of the 28th, and showing
what has been frequently observed, that these
phenomena occur simultaneously in places wide
ly separated.
Beechvu Gets the Worst of it.—A good
joke is told of Beecher and Park Benjamin.
On one of their lecturing expeditions they were
riding in tlie same railway car. Getting into
conversation about preaching, Beecher was so
courteous as to ask Benjamin to come over to
Brooklyn some Sabbath morning, and bear him.
“I do not know where vour meeting bouse
is,” siid Benjamin, “how shall I find it ?”
“Oh,” replied Beecher, “all you have to do
is to come over one of thc ferries, and follow
thc crowd.”
“I would come,” continued Benjamin, “hut
for one reason.”
“Ah! what is that?” asked Beecher.
“Because,” said Benjamin with a merry look
out of his eyes, “I make it an invariable rule
never to go to any place of amusement on Sun
days.”
Cool Ihhi’dexce.—“Will you oblige me with
a light, sirf”
“Certainly, with the greatest of pleasure,”
says tho stranger, knocking off his ashes with
his little finger, and presenting the red of his
cigar with a graceful bow.
Smith commences fumbling in his coat poc
ket, takes out his handkerchief, shakes it, feels
in his vest pocket with a mast deperate energy,
looks blank.
“Well, I do declare, haven’t got one, as true
true as thc world. Have you another you
could spare
“Certainly,” says the stranger, with a smile,
“and I beg you will accept ik”
There is a puff, puffing till the fresh cigar
ignites, when they separate with a suave bow
and wave of the hand. Smith chucks his friend,
who was near splitting with laughter, under
the ribs, with:
“There! didn’t I tell you 1 would get itT
That’s tlio way to get along in this world.
Nothing like cool, polite impudence.”
IVasn’l Acquainted.—Two drunken fellows
were walking along in tlm rain. The drunkest
one then asked:
“Dick (hie) does-er rain (hie)!’’
“In course it rains,” said Dick.
The answer was apparently satisfactory, and
they proceeded several rods farther, when thc
question was again propounded by tlie anxious
searcher after truth under difficulties:
“Dick, I say D (hie) tell me, doer-cr rain ?’’
••Johnny,” said Dick solemnly, “I’m afraid
ver drunk"; in course it’s raining.”
In a few minutes Johnny was again troubled
with doubts, and sought to solve them.
“Dick, scems-cr me (hie) scr-goin iliic) cr-
rain (hie)!”
Dick exasperated—“Johnny, yer a fool.
Don’t yer see it is a rainin’. Can’t yer feel it
rainin', Johnny?”
Johnny—“’Sense me, I) (hie). I aint much
acquainted in this town (hie)!"

Small Feet in Peru.—L’Union Metlicale
states that the ladies of Lima arc noted for their
extremely small feet, the secret being that thc
infants of the female sex undergo, as a rule,
amputation of the little toe of each foot _So
genera' is the custom, that many women think
that five toes on each foot, is a* state of things
peculiar to tho male sex. It is said that a Pe
ruvian surgeon is going to London and Paris,
-where he expects to make a fine harvest He
warrants tlie ladies thc tiniest and most grace
ful foot> by means ol tho above named ampu
tation, and confinement to tho house ol only
one week. Tlie writer adds, that a custom of
this kind prevailed pretty generally in Pans,
some years ago, kept up by a very reprehensi
ble complaisance of a surgeon, who had ac
quired some celebrity touching the silly muti
lation.
A physician in Louisvillo has discovered that
by living principally on buttermilk, a human
being may prolong existence to tho period of

IRON HOOPS AND TIES,
FOr. COTTON BALES.
Price (5 cents per pound, 25 per cent1 less than
Rope.
Any one considering the advantages of Iron over
Rope as a material fur binding cotton bales, will be
surprised that it has not been adopted long since.—
In is security against fire, there is an overwhelming
reason for Us adoption.
The presses in the seaport cities have been the
main causo of Us not being generally adopted; but
now that objection is removed generally, and the
Orleans Press, the largest in New Orleans, gives it
ths* preference over rope. TheFassman Iron Hoop
and Tie is the improvement of ono oftbe proprietors,
and ia adopted from the fact, that it is round, after
long experiment, to combine tbe greatest merits in
simplicity and facility of application of any one yet
made. It is so prepared as to require no change for
re-compressing. Tims obviating the only remain
ing difficulty at the seaboard cities.
The hoops arn sent of any length, from eight ot
ten feet, and a full guarantee given that neither tbe
Ties nor Hoops shall breaks Aud further, that all
cotton bound in them shall be received on the same
terms, at the Orleans Press, as rope bound cotton.—
The weight per bale is about the same as rope, not
ono pound more or less.
To abow the opinion shipmasters have of it, we
give the following, among nnmerons commenda
tions we have:
Tbe undersigned masters of vessels, having had
eotton compressed with Fasaman’a new Iron Hoops
