The author of a very clever book, “Salad for the Social,” has tolleeted to gether some interesting items touching “Book Craft,” and the ‘Black Art” as printing has been irreverently termed He speaks in fighting terms of Franklin, the printer, author and statesman, who was technically described by one of the fraternity, “tiie * of hi3 profession, the type of honesty, ihe ! of all, aud although the of death has put a . to his exis tence, every § of his life is without a ||,” which translated for the benefit of the un initiated means, “the star of his profes sion, the type of honesty, the admiration of all, and though the hand of death has put a period to his existence, every sec tion of his life is without a paralell.”— Types have been likened to “ A thousand lamps at one lone altar lighted. Turning the night of error Into day.” Flag of our Union. Size of the West. — Illinois would make forty such States as Rhode Island, and Minnesota sixty ; Missouri is larger than all New England, Ohio exceeds ei ther Ireland or Scotland, or Portugal, and equals Belgium, Scotland and Swit zerland together. Missouri is more than half as large as Italy, and larger than Denmark, Holland, Belgium and Switzer land. Missouri and Illinois are larger than England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. CUTHBERT REPORTER. ittisrcUancous. Romantic Story. Here is quite a romantic—and strange if true—story : A beautiful young heiress had become so disgusted with a flattering set of soft pitted, pomatum lmired, moustache-lipped strongly perfumed suitors for her hand, that she shut herself from the fashionable world, turned all her property into mon ey, and deposited it all in banks, donned a cheap wardrobe, and went pedestrian like, throuh the city in which she had With, erto moved with so much dispalay and magnificence. She asked alms of those for her hand. They knew her not and casting a look of scorn upon her veiled face and co aif e wardrobe, bade her‘‘be gone!” She entered the country—here she met with deri-ion and scorn A few kind hearted people, it is true, bestowed aid ; but these wete the poorer class who had hard work to procure their own dai ly bread ; but they could not turn a fel low* creature hungry from their door, and therefore gave a small pittance from their scanty store. One summer’s day, a large company met on Beach They were mostly from the city The disguised heiress, from some cause or other had wandered there. She asked alms of one or two, termed ‘ upper tens.” They spoke taun tingly, but gave nothing. What they said had been heard by quite a number of their company. Most of them-laughed, or looked"as if they thought “served her right.” The beggar woman turned about and was w alking sadly away, when a good looking gentleman stepped forward, and catching hold of her arm, thus spoke: “Stay, my good woman—tell me what yon want.” She replied in a low trembling tone, “I want a sixpence—only a sixpence ” “You shall have ten times that sum— Here,” lie added, drawing from his pocket an eagle, and placing it in the hand of the won an, “take this, and if it is not enough 1 will give you another.” The heiress returned the eagle, cxclaim ti g, “I want a sixpence, sir—only a six pence ! Seeing that she could no! be made to take the coin, tlie gentleman drew’ forth a sixpence, and gave it’o the strange be ing beside him, who, after thanking the generous donor, walked slowly away.— After being laughed at for so doing by Ins comrades, he set out in pursuit of the beggar woman, saying: ‘Perhapsshe is an licit ess—or an angel iu disguise. I mean to ascertain. ’’ Not that he thought this. He wished lo show’ his indifference to what his com panion said, besides sa’isfying himself about the strange female whom he had aided. He soon overtook her, and ad dressed her tnn-: “Pardon me, madam, for pursuing you. I would know more about you ” As the speaker ceased, the mask drop ped from the female, and the beautiful heiress was portrayed before the astonish til gentleman. That they were afterwards married, the reader has already imagined, for the heir es* used this means of procuring a worthy husband, and the generous gentleman had long beeu looking for art “angel in disguise ” The happy husband is often heard to say that he got an “heiress for a six pence.” Learned Fleas. —The Albany Jour nal says there is an exhibition iu the new Hank Building, Broadway, in that city, well w’orth seeing. Signor Bertolotte has about 100 Italian (leas which dance the Polka, play on musical instruments, draw’ carriages, w’ork at California dig gings, fight a duel sword in hand, draw water from a well, tell fortunes, and do ing a variety of feats too numerous to be described; all dressed, harnessed and instructed according to their tasks. The fleas are all secured to their respective positions, and perform at the bidding of the Signor. At night they are released; they are fed from the Signor’s blood, by allow ing them to “perch” upon his hand and suck their fill. They are then placed in their different apartments, all number ed like a well regulated hotel. ss* r l he Scientific American says to the sporting men “wash your gun bar rels in spirits of turpentine, by dipping a rag or sponge fastened on your gun rod into the liquid and swabbing them out two or three times, when they will be j cleansed from all impurities and can be used almost instantly, as the turpentine will evaporate and leave the barrel dry ; even if they are a little moist, it wdll not prevent their going off, like water. After being washed thus, there is no danger of rust, as when water is used- lam au old and experienced guuner, and have practiced this for years. $3- The following question is being considered in an out west debating club : “ Which has ruined most men—giving credit or getting trusted.” At the last accounts the disputauts were ‘nip iu tuck.’ CUTIIKEKT, a., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1556. I Never Gossip. Oh no, I never gossip! I have enough to do to take care of my ow’tt business, without talking about the affairs of oth ers, Mrs.'Smith. Why there’s Mrs. Crocker, she deals in scandal by the wholesale ; it does seem to me as though that woman’s tongue must be almost worn out ; but no, there’s no danger of that. If everybody was like mo, there wouldn’t be much trouble in the world. Oh no, I never gossip. But, did you know that Miss Elliot had got anew silk dress, Mrs. Smith ? Y"ou didn't! w’ell she has; it’s a real brocade ; I saw it myself. I do say it's shameful for her to be so ex travagant ; I mean to give her a piece of my mincj, Mrs. Smith You believe her uncle gave it to her? Well, I don’t care if he did ; why, its only two months since her father failed, and now, to see her dash ont in this style, its a burning shame. I suppose she thinks she’s going to catch young lawyer Stanhope, but I guess she'll find herself mistaken ; lie’s got more sense than to be caught by her, if she has a brocade silk dress. And there’s the upstart dress maker, Kate Manly, setting her cap for the Doc tor s son ; tlie impertinence of some peo ple is perfectly astonishing. 1 don’t think she’s any better than she ought to be, for my own part ; I never did like her, with her mild, soft look, when any one’s around; my word for it, 6he can look cross enough when there ain’t ; then she says she’s on ly seventeen ! Goodness knows she’s as old as my Arabella Lucretia, and she’s well, I won’t say how old, but she’s more’n seventeen, und l ain’t ashamed to say so, either ; but 1 guess l)r. May’s son will have more discretion than to think of marrying her. Some folks call her handsome. Well, 1 don’t. She ain’t, half as good looking as my daugh ter Jane. Then the way she does up Iter hair in such fly away curls; and, if you believe it, Mrs. Smith, she actually had the impudence to tell me that she couldn’t make her hair straight as my Maria Jane’s. Impertinence! if she'd let curl ing papers and curling irons alone, I’d risk but what her iiair would be as straight as anybody’s. But wlm t do you think of the minister’s wife, Mrs. Smith ? You like her ! Well, all 1 can say is, you’ve got a very pecu liar taste. Why, she’s proud as Lucifer; been married a whole week, and hasn’t been to see me yet You presume she hasn’t had time? I don’t see what the minister wanted to go out of town to get a wife for, any way ; and then, above all tilings, to get that little girlish looking thing. Why didn’t ho take one of his parishioners? There’s my Arabella Lu cretia would have made him a better wife than he’s got now. Then she’s jnst about the right ago for him. She’s two years older than Hie minister! I should think it was a pity if I didn’t know my own daughter’s age, Mrs Smith. If some folks would mind their own business as I do, I’d thank ’em ! — Waverly Maga zine. Surprise Parties. — Os late a very no vel and questionable sort of amusement has come into fashion. Several friends ; and acquaintances inform each other that, they intend to drop in and take tea with Mrs, B , The family are surprised and astonished to find 15 or 20 friends and acquaintances in the house who have called to take tea. The tea chest is jnst exhausted—not a bit of cake in the pan try—not a loaf of bread in the grocery, and not enough of cups and saucers to go round. What a peck of trouble the poor woman is in ! She would give her wedding gown if she had only known of their coming. There is a mighty deal of fun in these surprise parties, and a great deal of annoyance and hard feelings. The other day a very unpleasant incident oc curred at or.e of these parties. A mer chant, who has heretofore held a respect able position in society, was selected by some friends to call on. It was indeed a surprise party to all concerned. ‘1 hey found the husband insensible from the effects of liquor, laying on the hall stairs, and his wife with a bruised face and black eye, bathing his temples with ice water. How many such scenes occur unknown to the world — Albany Knickerbocker. An old “cove” was once applied to for aid in replenishing the treasury of the church, “ Can you not contribute something to the treasury of the Lord,” inquired tiio clerical solicitor. Without taking his pipe f?om his lips, the old man replied : “do we not read in the Bible that the cattle upon a thousand hills are the Lord’s ?” “ Yes,” responded Domine, sanctimoni ously. “ Well, why the, and 1 don’t he sell off the stock?” was the clincher of the cove. The Domine was carried off on a shin gle. I don’t like to patronize this line, said a culprit to a hangman. Oh, never mind tliis ouce, it will soon suspend its opera tions. NO FROSCRIFTION FOR OPINIONS’ SAKE. Mixed Cotton. . We find the following allusion to the false packing of cotton, in the Memphis Price Current, 6th of Sept. The frequent complaints which we hear induce us to call the attention of planters to the existence of an evil which we have often before adverted to, and which loajd ly calls for a remedy. Wo allude to the culpable negligence of many whose duty it is to attend to the packing of cotton, as shown by tho frequent discovery of mixed bales—viz: bales found to contain two, three or more qualities and colors. This negligence often leads to vexatious reclamations, and sometimes to expensive lawsuits, as it frequently happens that the discovery is not made until the cotton reaches the hands of tlie manufacturer, at a distant market. But it also frequently happens that the discovery is made here, by drawing samples from different parts of a bale. In such cases tlio cotton is throvjn bank up tlie factor’s bands as un merchantable, and when resold as mixed cotton, the factor can seldom obtain more than the market value of the lowest qual ity found iu tho bale. Besides all this, when the irregular packing is once dis covered, as it necessarily must be some where and some time, it throws discredit upon the planter’s crop generally, anil thus operatesto his disadvantage. It al so introduces confusion into a most im portant branch of trade, and one that can only be conducted with facility and economy upon the basis of good faith in the honesty and integrity of the planter Theso virtues being accorded to him, he owes it to himself, to his factor and to his purchaser to exercise mo e care and vigilance over those who have his inter ests in charge.. We have adverted to tliis matter, on frequent occasions, for years past, but thus far, it would seem without effect; for the evil has increased instead of diminishing, and probably in no former year has so largo a proportion of the crop been liable to tlie objection re ferred 10. At the special request of both (actors and purchasers, we earnestly call attention to the matter again, aud tiust that this appeal will awaken some atten j tion, for in reality and truth the evil is a serious one. Friiiiklin. When quite a young man, Franklin went to London, entered a printing office, and euqnired it tie could get employment as a printer ? ‘Where are you from ?’ inquired the foreman. ‘America,’ was the reply. ‘Ah,’ said the foreman, ‘from America! a lad from America seeking employment as a printer! Well, do you really under stand the art of printing? Can you set type ? Franklin stepped to one of ihe cases and in a very brief space, set up the fol lowing passage from the first chapter of the Gospel by St. .lolm : ‘Nathaniel saith unto him, can any good thing come out of Nazareth ? l’hil ip saith unto him come and see.’ It was done so quick, so acurately and contained a reproof, so appropriate and powerful, that it at once gave him stand ing and character with all in the office. A Majority on the wrong Side. Several years ago a celebrated Metho dist minister and revivalist well known for his eloquence and zeal in converting souls, was preaching in Louisville. The feeling had got pretty well up, and one night, after a powerful sermon, he came* down from the pulpit, for the purpose of receiviug the mourners, while the good old hymn of ‘‘Canaan, oh! Canaan, I’m bound fur the land of Canaan !”’ was struck up, and chimed in by hun* dreds of voices. The hymn was conclud ed, but there were no penitents at tho al tar In vain he exhorted —his words and appeals fell upon the cars of his con gregation without exciting an emotion. At length he concluded to make a bold strike, and follow it up with a test ; and resuming the pulpit, after a few words of exhortation, he solemnly pronounced that he would put a question, upon which he expected all to vote in view of tho esti mation they plnced upon their souls With finger raised most significantly, and in a most solemn manner, he announced “ All those in favor of Christ will please rise to their feet.” Only some eight or ten responded to the announcement; and while the minis ter was watching intently for others to signify their position by rising, a worthy member, who was on his feet, interfered, and suggested that “ the reason might be that the true disciples were too modest to vote.’’ At this juncture, a loud voice was heard iu the gallery : “I say, brother , it’s no use a talking or trying to force this vote —this congregation is for old Nick by at least twenty-five hundred majority.’’ A man cannot leave a better legacy in this world than a haudsome daughter and a largo plantation. The U. S. of America foretold in the Jliblc. This was the subject of a lec'ure, de livered by Mr, Pitts, in Ihe Tabernacle, on Monday evening. The lecturer dem onstrated that ihe rise oi a great nation ality was promised in an age of intelli gence, energy and locomotion, and argu ed that this was not literally the leslora tion of the Jews, but tlie prophecy was lealizedin the political and religious or ganization of the United States. That this country arose when and where it was prom sed, at the end of J ,290 prophetic days from the destruction of Jerusalem, which period terminated oil the 4th of July, 1776. He said that the land pic tured in the prophecy ol Darnel, was to be a newly discovered’ land, that had al ways been waste, and that it was a land of rivers and streams j and that it was to be inhabited by a people gathered out of all nations ; that it was to be located between two seas—the eastern and the western ; that its cities and villages should have neither walls nor gates, nor bars, and that it was to be first visited by the vessels of Spain : that emigration should come lor the freedom of worshiping God, and that it was to be a Republic, and that this Republic should begin in the organization of thirteen distinct States ; that its rise should be an epoch in the his tory of humanity, to learning, agriculture commerce and tiade ; hat the United States was the stone kingdom promised by Daniel—the mau child, born of the Virgin Woman of the Wilderness —the land shadowing with wings- In fact that this great country and government was a child of Providence, and was nurtued and raised up as the model government of the world, to which the empires of the earth would finally conform. But before Re pub'icanism became world-wide the great battle of civil and religious liberty ou the one side and eclesiastical despotism on the other, would come off ia the Field Armageddon. True or false, the speak er evidently placed his arguments clearly and logically before an appreciating au dience.

JG®"'“ Thanks,” said an old bachelor, “no more women in heaven—they can't get in. Their hoops are so broad, they will have to go the broad road ! None of these fashionables can ever crowd through the narrow gate.’’ Hot. —A Cincinnati paper gives the fol lowing instance of tlie effects of heat in the Pork City : “A steamboat was at the wharf discharging lead. A nigger would start with a bar on his shoulder, but before he could get to the dray, the lead would melt and run over the freesoil er making it necessary to cut him out with a cold chisel!” Whew 1 Charter Oak Items. —On the night of the fall of the brave old oak at Hartlord, Mr. Stuart, the proprietor, was engaged till midnight in writing his last chapter of its history. A coypyrighted engraving ol the tree as it appeared after its fall is being made ; and a sound limb is being made into an elbow to anew ship, to be called “The Charter Oak.” A swarm of bees came out of a hole in the fallen trunk, on Saturday morning, and lodged upon another tree, but soon returned to their old quarters, from which they were securely and safely hived. They will he tenderly cared for, from the associations connected with them. Their presence in the tree was not known until its fall.— liar lford Times. Coolness in a Moment of Trial The Rochester American tells a story of a lady in that city, whose dies* was step ped upon by a paitner in a dance. The skirt was torn, and ft whalebone thrust out into the circle in a very unseemly manner. The lady coolly took hold of the article, drew it from her, walked to the door and threw it out, and took her place in the cotillion just in time lo “for ward and back.’’ Although her dress “collapsed,” she did not. That lady would walk up to the cannon’s mouth or the altar, without lear of trembling.

BYRD & WHITE, Publishers*. J)r. I 1 rauhlfu. A century since, Benjamin Franklin, the Postmaster General of tlie Colonies, set out in his old trig to make an official inspection of different routes, It is sup posed that he accomplished the object of his journey ; but if lie was to undertake to travel in his gig and over the routes at present existing, lie woulJ arrive at the end of his journey wnen he was about au hundred years old. About eighty years since. Congress appointed Dr. Franklin Postmaster General to the then indepen dent Colonies, he still went in his old gig and a Small folio containing about three quires of paper las'ed as his account book lor two years. Now the railroad train goes sixty miles nil hour, and tlie post office accounts consume every two years three thousand of the largest sized led ger*, keeping no less than one hundred clerks constantly employed in recording transactions with thirty thousand contract tors and other persons. There are now’ paid annual/, for mail locks, keys, and stamps, nearly thirty-two thousand dollars a smn equal to the entire outlav of the whole department in the year 1790. The -tamped envelopes and postage stamps Cost over fourteen thousand dollars ; Ihe mail bags, fifty thousand dollars; the blanks seventy-nine thousand; the wrapping paper forty-thousand. Franklin would be slightly astonished did he rise from his grave, travel to Wash ington ih his old gig, see tlie three thous and ledgers, the one hundred cletks, and hear the rail train thunder pass him at the rate of sixty miles per hour. And yet what would be his emotions when he reflected that this was but one evidence of the rapid advance of the republic of which he was one of tlie founders? A Batchelor’s Reflections. Bless me ! / am thirty-nine to-day ; six feet in my stockings, black eyes, cur ly flair, tail and straight as a cedar of Lebanon and still a batchelor ! Well, it'a an independent life, at least; it isn't eith er! Here are these new gloves of mine full of little rips, siting off ons of nr.y best faultless dickeys, nice silk hand kerchief in my drawer wants hemming, buttons off my shirt; what's to be done ! How provoking it is to see those married people looking so sell satisfied and con sequential at the head of their families, as if they had done the Slate a great ser vice. As to children, they are as plenty as flies in August, and about as troublesome; every alley, and court, and garret, are swarming with them—they’re no rarity ; and any poor, miserable wretch can get a wife—enough of them, too, such as they are! It is enough to scare a man to death ta think how much it cost to keep one. Silks and satins, ribbons and velvets, feathers apd flowers, cuff pins and bracelets, gim cracks and fol-derols ; and you must look at the in all its bearings—little’ jackets and r >cks, and wooden horses, and dolls, and pop-guns and gingerbread ; don’t belit ve I can do it, by Jupiter 1 But then here I sit, with the toe of my best boot kicking the graie for the want of something lo do; it’s coming awful cold dreary weather, long evenings ; can’t go to concerts forever, and when I do my room looks so much tlie gloomier when 1 come back, and if would be cosy to have a nice little wile lo chat and laugti with. I’ve tried to think of something, else, blit I can’t ; if 1 look in the fire, I am sure to see a pair of bright eyes ; e veil the shadows on the wall take fairy shapes ; I’am on the biink of ruin—-I feel it; I shall read my doom in the marriage list before long— l kxow I skull. A Cure for Cancer —-Mr. David Cu’ pepper, of Russell county, Ala., requests us to publish to the world, for the benefit of the afflicted, that he has been cured of Cancer by the use of the following recipe and that he believes it is an infallible rem edy for this dreadful disease : Rcceipe. — Take equal quanily of the roots of wliito ashe, black sumac, and fat liglitwood or pine, and boil them in water until a strong tea is made, and use it lor a constant diink in place of water, tea, coffee, milk and all other beverages, and eat nothing salt or greasy. Take new lar and simmer it over a slow fire until it forms a tough wax and apply it in ihe shape of a plaster to the cancer, over which first sprinkle corrosive sublimate; the plaster & corrosive sublimate to be re newed eveiy other day as most conveni ent ; the cancer to be kept dry. If this remedy is followed, without regard to pairs or swelling, which will both be great, and all stimulants are lelrained from, Mr. Cul pepper guarante.es a perfect and speedy ’ cure. We gi7e the recipe for what it is worth, without knowing any thing of its value.— Columbus (Ga) Times. It is not what we earn, but what we save, that makes us rich.
