V Woxdekitl Mirror. There has lately been
shown in Paris a huge concave mirror, an instru
ment of a startling species of optical magic. On
standing close to it it presents nothing but a mon
strous dissection of your physiognomy. On retir
ing a couple of feet it gives your own face and tig
tire in true proport ion, but reversed, the head down
ward. Bui retire still further, standing at the dis
tance of live or six feet from the mirror, and be
hold, you see yourself not a reflection —it does not
strike you as a reflection—but your veritable self,
standing i n the middle part between you and the
mirror The effect is almost appalling, says some
body, from the idea it suggests of something su
pernatural; so startling, indeed, is the exhibition,
that men possessed of the strongest nerve will
shrink involuntarily at the first view.

Senator Douglas in Washington.
The I’li ■•■ ii of Saturday morning last, says : “It.
is with great satisfaction that we announce this ;
morning that Hon. 8. A. Douglas, who has been
so long detained on his way to the Beat of govern
ment by a violent and protracted inflammation of
the throat, arrived in this city yesterday morning.
He is in much better healtli and spirits than his
numerous friend■> here expected or hoped for;
and we sincerely trust that it will not be many
days before he will be able to return to the scene
of his distinguished labors and distinguished tri
umphs in all his wonted vigor of mind and body.”
Mr. ( ulloni, the Clerk of the House.
Why did the Southern National Know Nothings
vote for Mr. Cullom for Clerk, and refuse to vote
for Mr. Banks for Speaker ? They are both anti-
Nebraska men—they are both members of the
“American party.” The Black Republicans vo
ted for both, and the Southern Know Nothings for
one of them. The New York Tribune’s corres
pondent, of 4th inst., says :
"The compliment was well deserved; for no
man in the last Congress had been more earnest
in resisting the Nebraska bill of iniquities, and
none bad suffered more severely from the conse
quences of that vote. Gen. Cullom was entitled
to this mark of respect.”
A Southern constituency refused to send Mr.
Cullom back to Congress, after his opposition to
the Nebraska bill, but the Black Republicans of
the Free .States in Congtess, aided bv Southern
Know Nothings, were determined that u notorious
enemy of the Nebraska bill should not be pros
trated at the South. Mr. Cullom, by the joint
support of those parties, succeeded to the respon
sible and lucrative position of Clerk of the House
of Represent! res of Congress.
Messrs. Foster and Trici-r voted /i/r Mr. Cullom,
and Mr. Cullom voted against the Nebraska bill.
What principle was sustained or announced in
thus voting for Nil . Cullom, will he matter of in
teresting enquiry for the people of Georgia and
the South. What party nominated Cullom, and
who supported him, and for what, the people will
diligently enquire about. Will some of the Know-
Nothing papers explain this matter?
“ An American in a Political Sense.”
The Washington Know Nothing Organ says, in
relation to Mr. Basks :
“ He is an ‘American’ in the political sense of
this term. This we know, and knowing it, we shall
tie slow to believe that he will violate that cardinal
principle of the ‘ American party,’ which requires
its members to maintain ana f/erpetuatc the Federal
Union."
Judging from the above, we infer that Mr.
Banks is a regularly initiated third degree member
if the Know Nothing Order—“an ‘American’ in
he political sense of this term.” There are differ
nces, perhaps, between a national American, n
i alive American, nud n political American.
Practical Absorption.
The New York Tribune classifies the vote for
Speaker, and adds : “ The only Know Nothing, ac
'tnowledged as such, who voted for Banks, was
Ur. Eoie, of Pennsylvania.” it lias heretofore
••e*n understood, says the Washington Union, that
f the one hundred and three votes for Mr. Banks,
tbouf eighty tvere elected as Know Nothings as
.veil as Republicans. When the elections took
place which sent them to Congress, their triumphs
were claimed, and in many instances exulted over
by southern Know Nothings, as triumphs of their
irder. The question now comes up : What has
become of the strong Know Nothing phalanx sent
from the free States to Congress? The philosophy
>f Speaker Banks furnishes the answer. The
stronger / are has absorbed the weak,-,- Abolition has
swallowed up Know Nothingism, leaving a soli
tary monument of its existence. The New York
Herald, which has acted us a watchful nurse of
Know Nothingism, gives pretty strong intimation
.hat the half-dozen northern national Know Noth
ings are in a fairway to disappear by the same
irocess of absorption. The following extracts
from that journal are significant:
“The Northern National Know Nothings on
,-itr. Speakership. -A most Lamentable Collapse.
—For nine weeks we had labored under the idea
hat the Fuller party of Congress, northern and
southern members, were national men--all of them
sound national men ; hut this was a mistate. We
iad supposed, from the first week in December to
he first week in February, that these Fuller men
were so rigidly opposed to Mr. Banks, upon prin
iple, that they would accept any reasonable com
promise from the Democrats, in order to defeat
he election of the candidate of Seward, Giddings,
Weed, and Greeley ; but this was a delusion. The
latinnality of these Fuller men was limited to
uller and to the North. They lacked the moral
courage to cross, at a venture, over Mason and
Dixon’s line, and as far down as South Carolina,
villi their boasted nationality. Theirs is the re
sponsibility for keeping the House disorganized
lor nine ivecks, and for the election of Mr. Banks
at last with the alternative of his defeat in their
hands.”
“ And what is the result of the American party?
It is a definite congressional division of it into
two hostile sectional factious. Not a solitary
northern Know Nothing voted for Aiken—not one.
Thus the vote which elected the Speaker discloses
to the ‘South Americans,’ so called, the lamenta
ble truth that, in Congress at. least, their nationali
ty as a party is limited to the south side of Mason
k Dixon’s line and the Ohio river; that their north
ern brethren, even of a national type, incline to
fraternize rather with Giddings, of Ohio, than
with the Marshalls ot' Kentucky.
“ The question which next occurs is, How is this
condition of things to be mended at the Philadel
phia national councils of the Ifti. and 22d of Feb
ruary ? The work there to he done is the practical
reorganization of the American party throughout
the Union, or its formal dissolution among the
sectional and local factions and loose materials of
the country. The result of the late struggle at
Washington admonishes us to prepare for the lat
•r alternative. They may, perhaps, do better.
They cannot do worse. We shall see.”
“They Steal our War Thunder.”
The eagerness with which Messrs. Sew win and
Foote have come forward, in the Senate, to proclaim
their readiness to sustain the administration in its
umtroversv with the British cabinet, ns to the
Central American question, has been the subject of
a good deal of surprise. The earnestness, almost
approaching to vehemence, with which they have
repelled the pretentious construction of the Ciav
ton-Buhver treaty by Great Britain, has made the
impression that they are determined not to be be
hind in taking the side of their country in the
event of war. Gen. Cass, who had been accused
of exhibiting a bellicose spirit towards England,
•ook occasion on Tuesday, upon rising immediate
ly after Mr. Foote spoke, to present a petition, to
make the following humorous remarks bv wav of
hitting off the war-like spirit alluded to.-
“Mr. C'ass—Mr. President, 1 thank vou for giv
ing me the floor. 1 had not expected it. The fact
i-. sir, these young Americas are terrible fellows.
: They are no believers in the Decalogue. They
\ covet their neighbor’s goods. They get before us
; old fogies, and steal away our war thunder; and
' when they get it, they thuuder a great deal louder
. than ever we undertook to do. And tbev get bc
i f.>re us, also, in smaller matters. They spring up
1 a ith such elasticity of muscle and strength of lung,
; that they take the floor from us, and preyent us'
[ from doing the initiatory business to which the
1 morning hour is devoted.' Now, sir, Ido not in
tend to ask any immediate action on the subject to
remedy this state of things. I intend my remarks
rather as hints, which I hope will be received with
some practical advantage. I hold in mv hand a
considerable tile of petitions and memorials, and
other papers, which, till now, 1 have not had an
opportunity to present, and 1 ask the Senate to re
ceive them.
'• I renew my thanks to you, sir, for giving me a
chance to lay them before the Senate. Ido not
care so much about the thunder as I do about this
rare act of justice. ; Laughter], I will say, how-;
ever, that whoever thunders, 1 glory in the condi
tion of our country when 1 hear such sentiments
as have fallen this day, and fallen with such elo
quence and ability, from the honorable senator
from Vermont, Mr. Foote '. lie said not a word
that did not meet mv hearty concurrence.”
Leap Yeah.—lt must be recollected that any ;
w« man during the present year can marry any man |
she pleases - provided he he willing. One of the j
authorities, writing in Pino, lays the law down as i
follows :
“ Albeit it is nowe become a part of the common
iawy, iu regard to social relations of life, that as
often as every bissextile year dothe return, the
ladyes have the sole privilege, during the time it
conunueth, of making love unto the men. which
thy\ do either by wurdes or lookes, as to them it
seemeth proper ; and moreover, no man will be !
entitled to the benefit of the clergt who dothe re
fuse the offers of a ladye, or who dothe in any wise I
treat her proposals withe alight or contumely." i
Mr. Buchanan and the Presidency.
In a letter addressed to a friend, and which has
appeared in the Penns;/lcania ;>, Mr. Buchanan
says:
“ ou reler to the connection of mv name with
the Presidency. * This I neither
desired nor expected. The movement in my favor
lia<, therefore, originated without my previous
knowledge or consent, and f should be quite satis
fied should another be selected.
“ The next will be the most important and re
sponsible Presidential term since the last war with
England, or, perhaps, since the origin of the gov
ernment. Both our foreign and our domestic af
fairs will require the guidance of an able, firm and
skilful pilot to steer tiie vessel of State clear of the
breakers. 1 pray Heaven that the best, man may
be selected for the crisis, and to meet it, is a mat
ter of indifference whether he comes from the
North or the South, the East or the West."
The “ Veto Governor” ol'Alabama.
The number of hills which Governor Wirston.
of Alabama has regarded it his duty to veto, has
obtained for him the name of the “Veto Gover
nor.” He has recently vetoed two bills that pur
port to incorporate villages, but which contain
“not a sentence to be found going to incorporate
either of them.” The only point in the acts is
the regulation of the sale of liquor. The Gover
nor says:
“ They propose to take the retail trade entirely
away from the common citizen, and give it to the
licensed physician—to constitute the latter drug
gist and professor of alcoholic drinks, to bo dealt
out in small quantities, “exclusively to such pur
chasers,” of which the professional skill of the
physician selling is to enable him to be the Judge.
If this principle of retailing he correct, we shall
be compelled to have a new chair inaugurated in
our Medical Colleges that of beverages in gener
al, and alcoholic, in particular, f apprehend, how
ever, if it be true, as is said, that nature is the
great doctor and best teacher, that we have many
sturdy citizens who are as capable of prescribing
iu their own cases, where liquor is concerned, as
any young man from the colleges with an M. D.
after his name —no matter through what alcoholic
teachings he may have passed—and who are as ca
pable ot selling the intoxicating fluid as the M 1).
himself, in proper quantities or drachms to suit
purchasers and their immediate afflictions.
j‘3?f”Thc New York Tribune, a decided anti
slavery paper, in some editorial remarks upon the
death of Henry Golbcrn, once a very prominent
English official, says: “ Henry Golbcrn com
menced life with large property, as a West India
proprietor-—which he took care to sell before the,
deterioration of barbadoes estates by slave emanci
pation.’’
The editor has been employed, for many years,
iu trying to effect emancipation in the South, for
the purpose of deteriorating Southern estates. The
policy, however, which has injured the plantations
of Barbadoes, the editor thinks will benefit the
South. When the people here desire the benefit of
his sage counsels, it will be time enough for him
to extend them.

Republican Tim ■ ii»n in Michigan. 0. M. Hyde,
Republican, has been elected Mayor of Detroit by
about two hundred majority over A. W. Bukll,

i COM M UNICATSID. J
Mr. lull tor : A case has recently come under
notice, in which the existence of the law by which
a witness may he required to give boud for his ap
pearance in Court, or he imprisoned if he cannot
give the required security, has proved to ho a great
hardship. An individual who happened to he
present, at an altercation which resulted iu the
dehth of one of the parties, but who avers that he
saw no blow inflicted, was required to give bond
for his appearance as a witness. Being friendless,
ho was unable to d.> so, and was consequently
thrown into jail as a common malefactor, aud
kept there during the late severities of weather,
with no other bedding than a few blankets and the
cold floor. Under this exposure he soon contract
ed disease, which, at the end of about a mouth,
has become so serious as to render his removal to
the Hospital indispensable, although probably too
iate to avert a fatal termination.
| This circumstance is laid before the public, not
| with view of ensuring any one, but for the sole
! object of directing the attention of our Legislators
to the subject, while still in session, and with the
hope that some provision may he made for the pro
tection of personal liberty in such cases.

OBITUARY.
Providence deals mysteriously with us. IVc have
tlieclu" by which, to some extent, we solve the
mystery of an infant’s death; that of an aged father
or mother in Israel, crowned with the golden fruits
of a well-spent life is self-explained. But when one
falls adorned with all the graces of Christian char
acter, scarce having attained meridian life, and in
the zenith of usefulness, nil is mystery ; faith only,
can wreath the Providence with Hope; reason is
lost in wonder.
Such was tlie death of Mar > He lexer Hill, on the
11th of January. She had not attained the age of
thirty, yet she had tilled all the offices well, in which
woman eminently excels those of the heart, ller
friendship was cordial, constant, lasting; as a
daughter, she was affectionate, dutiful, obedient.;
as a mother, none was more attached, tender, svnt
pathing; to her husband, she was ardently devo
ted, and was ever before him, as the how of prom
ise amid the clouds of life.
She embraced the faith of Christ in girlhood ;
her religion grew with her growth, and strength
ened with her strength. It was fortified by the
force of early education and habit; cherished In
frequent prayer; nurtured by the grace of God";
exemplified in integrity of character ami holiness
of life ; and finally crowned with a perfect triumph
over death.
During her last illness, she repeatedly desired to
j praise God aloud, from which she was dissuaded
; by her physician and husband; spoke as compc
! sedly of her approaching dissolution, ns if about to
sink into quiet sleep; made several dying requests;
finally sr.nk into apparent death. Worn which she
recovered, and then turning to her husband, she
remarked, ‘‘l have been with Jesus, Jesus is with
i me, and lie will he with you too.” Death was
i swallowed up in victory, perfect love did eminent
; ly east out all fear.
Her career was short, yet complete -being pre
maturely ripe in Christian virtues, she was the ear
lier gathered to the heavenly garner ; possessed of
a mind far above mediocrity, she was equal to any
in the graces of the heart; her native modesty
threw a veil over the former while it adorned the
latter. She has gone ! yet not alone; two lovely
babes preceded her to the land of promise. Three
other children of tender years have followed in
swift succession. A pleasing offering—herself and
them -to make to Jesus! A home on earth is laid
in desolation, a cheerful fireside is made a solitude,
a thousand hopes of earthly bliss to a husband's :
and a father’s heart, are buried in those graves.
Yet he mourns not as those who have no hope.
That home is not destroyed, but transferred to
Heaven ; tlio.se dear ones do not cease, they have
just commenced to live; his hopes have dropped
the earthly and put on the heavenly. A lovely
group! they bid him welcome to their endearing i
home.
