C. &■ A. M. HOWLAND. Fauntleroy, the English Banker and Forger. BY CU.4RJ.EJ DICKENS. The bottles wont round—claret for the de generate youngsters; port for the sterling, steady le aded. middle-aged gentlemen. Mr. Trow bridge sipped his wine—meditated i» little— sipp. 1 again—and started with the promised anecdote in these terms: What I am going to tell yon. gentlemen, hap pen'd when I was h very young num. and wlc-n I was just setting up in bitsineiwon my own uc <■ lint. My father had been well acquainted for many years with Mr. Fauntleroy, of the fa mous London banking-firm of March, Straeev, Fauntleroy, and Graham. Thinking it might be of some future service to me to make my po sition known to a great man in the commercial world, iny father mentioned to his highly-res pected friend that 1 was alx’iit to start in busi ness for myself, in a very small way. aud with very little money. Mr. Fauntleroy received the intimation with a kind appearance of inter est: and said that he would have his eve on me. I expected from this that he would wait to see if I could keep on iny legs at starting; and that, if he found 1 succeeded pretty well lie would then help me forward if it lay in his power. As events turned out. he proved to be a far better friend than that: and he aoonshow ed me that I had very much underrated the hearty and generous interest which he had felt in my welfare from the first. While I was still fighting from the first diffi culties of setting up my office, and recommend ing myself to my connection, and so forth, I got a message from Mr. Fauntleroy, telling me to call on him, at the banking-house, the first time I was passing that way. As you may easily imagine. I contrived to bo passing that way on a particular early occasion ; and, on presenting myself at the bank, I was shown at once into Mr. Fauntleroy’s private room. He was as pleasant.a man to speak to as ever 1 met with—bright and gr.y and companiona ble in his manner—with a sort of easy, hearty, jovial bluntness about him that attracted eve rybody. The clerks all liked him—and that is s 'motning to say of a partner in a banking htnse, I can tell you! ‘Well, young Trowbridge,”says he. giving hi papers on the table a brisk push aw ay from him, “ so you are going to set up in business for yourself, are you? I have a great regard for your father, and a grant wish to see you succeed. Have von started yet?—No? Just on the point <I be tinning—eh? Very good. You will nave ymr difficulties, my friend—and 1 mean to smooth one of them away for you on the onset A word of advice for your private ear—Bank with us.” •' You are very kind, sir,” I answered, “and | I should, ask nothing better than to profit by I your suggestion—if I could. But my expenses . are heavy at starting, and when they are all | paid. 1 am afraid 1 shall have, very little left to pm by for the first your. 1 doubt if I shall be able to muster much more than three hundred pounds of surplus cash in the world, after pay ing what 1 must pay, before setting up my of fice. And 1 should be ashmed to trouble your h use, sir, to open an account for such a trifle as that.” “.Stuff and nonsense!” say Mr. Fauntleroy. “Are you a banker? What business have you to offer in opinion on that matter? l>o as I tell you—leave it to me—bank with us—and draw for what you like. Stop! I hav’nt done vet. When you open the account, speak to the head cashier. Perhaps you mav find that he has got something to tell yon. There! there! g ■ aw tiv—don’t interrupt me—good-bye—God bless y’u!” That was his way—Ah, poor fellow! that was his way! 1 wont to the head cashier the next morning, when 1 opened my little modicum of an account. 11c had received orders to pay my drafts with out reference to my balance. My cheques, when I had overdrawn, wore tn be privately shown to Mr. Fauutluroy. Do many young men who start in busiuc-s find their prosperous su periors reaily to help them in that way? Well, I got on—got on very fairly and steadi ly; being careful not to venture out of my depth, and not to forget that small beginnings may lead in time to greqt pnijs. A prospect of unc of those great ends—great I mean, to such R mall trader ns I was at that period—showed it df to me, when I had been sonic little time in business. In plain terms, 1 had a chance of joining in a first-rate transaction, which would give me profit aud position and everything 1 wanted, provided I could quality myself for en gaging in it by getting gissl security before hand tor a very large amount. In this emergency, 1 thought of my kind friend, Mr. Fauntleroy, and went to the bank, and saw him once more in his private room. There he was nt the same table, with the same heaps of pajs'rs about him, and the same hearty, easy way of speaking his mind to you nt once, in the fewest possible words. 1 c,v --j l:;ined the business I came upon, with some lit tle hesitation and nervousness: fori was afraid he might think that I was taking an unfair ad ' autage of his former kindness tome. When 1 had done he just nodded his head, snatched up a blank sheet of paper, scribbled a lew lines on it. in his rapid way. handed the wriiting to me, and pushed me out of the room by the two s!i.adders before I could say a single word. 1 looked at the paper in the outer office. It was my security from that great banking-house for the whole amount, and for more, if more was wanted. I <xmid not axprcss my gratitude then; and 1 don’t know that 1 can ,!•..-■• rilw it now, 1 can ■ ;ily say that it has outlived the crime, the dis grace, and tlie awful death on the scaffold. I mi grieved to H|Hsik of timt death nt all. Hut 1 have no other alternative. The course of my story must now lead mo straight on to the later time, and to the terrible discovery which expos ed my Ix'ucfm t' r and my friend to all England as the forger Fauntleroy. 1 must ask you to suppose a lapse of some time after the occurrence of the events that I . just bc. ; n relating. During this interval, inanks to the kind assistance I had received at the outset, mv position as a man of business had greatly unproved. Imagine me now, if a please, on the high road to prosperity, with "'d large offices and a respectable staff of clerks; and picture me to yourselves sitting alone in my private room. betv. eitn four and five I -'k, on a certain Saturday afternoon. All my letters hud been written, all the peo pie who had nrqiointmeiits with me had been received—l was looking carelessly over the newspapers, mid thinking alsmt going home, "hen one of my clerks came in and said that ti -n.uigor wished to see me immediately on very important business. ” hid he mention his name?” I enquired. “ No, sir.” ■ Di 1 y,,u not ask him for it J’’ ' Yes. sir.

He was not a gentleman, evi dently: but a» to fixing liis whereabouts in the p infinite downward gradations of a vagalsmd ex istence in London, that was a mystery which I w as totally incompetent to jm>lvc. “ Is your name Trowbridge ?” he began. “ Yes,” I answered drily enough. “Doyon bank with Marsh, Stracey, Fauntle- ■ roy, and Graham ?’’ “ Why do you ask?” “ Answer my question, and you wil know !” I “ \ cry well. Ido bank with Marsh. Stracey, I I Fauntleroy, and Graham—and what then?”' “ Draw out every farthing of balance you have got, before the hank closes at five to-dav.’’ 1 1 stated at him in speechless amazement’.— The words for the instant, absolutely petrified 1 me. “ Stare as much as you lilre,” he proceeded • coolly, “ 1 mean what 1 say. Look at your t clock there. In twenty minutes it will strike ■ five, and the bank will shut. Draw out every I farthing, I tell you again; and look sharp alumt it.” “Draw out my money!’’ I exclaimed, pur -1 tially recovering myself. “ Are you in your I right senses? Do you know that the firm I bank with represents one of the first houses in the worlil? What do you moan—you. who are a total stranger to me—by taking this extraor dinary interest in my affairs? If you want me to act on your advice, why don’t you explain yourself?” “ I have explained myself. Act on mv ad vice, or not, just you like. It don’t matter to me. 1 have done what 1 promised ; and there’s an end of it.” lie turned to the door. The minute hand of the clock was getting on from the twenty min utes to the quarter. “ Done what you promised ?” I repeated getting up to stop him. “ Yes,” he said, with his on the lock. “ I have given my message. Whatever happens, remember that. Good afternoon.” lie was gone before I could speak again. I tried to call after him, but my lips had sudden ly got dry, and the words seemed to stick on them. I could not imagine why, but there was somethink in the man’s last word’s which had more than half frightened me. 1 looked at the clock. The minute hand was on the quarter. My office was just for enough from the bank to make it necessary for me to decide on the instant. If I had had time to think, I am perfectly certain that I should not have profited by the extraordinary warning that had just been addressed to me. The sus picious appearance and manners es the stran ger; the outrageous improbability of the infer ence against the credit of the bank towards which his words pointed ; the chance that some underhand attempt was being made, by some enemy of mine, to frighten me into embroiling . myself with one of my friends, through show ' ingun ignorant distrust of the firm with which ■he was associated as partner,—all these consid erations would unquestionably have occurred to me if I could have found time for reflection ; I and, as a necessary consequence, not one far thing of my balance would have been taken from the keeping of the bunk on that memora ble day. Asit was, I hud just time enough to net, and not a spare moment forthinking. Some heavy payments made at the beginning of the week had so far decreased mv balance, that the stun to my credit in the banking book barely reach ed fifteen hundred pounds. I snatched up my checque-book, wrote a draft for tho whole amount and ordered one of my clerks to run to the bank and get it cashed before the doors closed. What imqulse urged mo on, except ! tho blind impulse of hurry and bewilderment, I | van’t say. t acted mechanically, under the in fluence of the vague, inexplicable fear which the man's extraordinary parting ■words had a roused in me. without sDqiping to analyse my own sensations, —almost without knowingwhat I was about. In three minute from the time when the stranger had closed my door, the clerk had started for the bank ; and 1 was alone again in my room, with my hands as cold as ice and my head all in a whirl. T did not recover my control over myself, un til the clerk came back with the notes in his hand. He had just got to the. bank in the nick of time. As the cash for my draft was handed to him over the counter, tho clock struck five and he hoard the order given to close the doors. When I had counted the bank notes and had locked them up in the safe, my hotter sense seemed to come back to me on a sudden. Nev er have 1 reproached my self before or since, as I reproached myself that moment. What sort of return had I made for Mr. Fauntleroy’s fath erly kindness tome? I had insulted him by the meanest, the grossest distrust in the honor and the credit of his house —and that on the word of an absolute stranger, of a vagabond, if ever there was one yet! It was madness, down right madness in any man, to have acted as I had done. I could not account for my own in conceivably thoughtless proceeding; 1 could hardly believe in it inysvlt, 1 opvupd tho safe, and looked at the bank-notes again, 1 locked it once more, aud flung tho key down on the table in a fury of vexation against myself.— There tho money was, upbraiding me with my own iuevineeivable folly ; tolling me in the plain est terms that 1 had risked depriving myself us my best and kindest friends henceforth and for- i ever. i It was necessary to do somethink nt once to i wards making all the atonement that lay in my power. 1 set that, as soon as 1 began to cool > down alittle. Therewns Imtonc plain, straight- • forward way loft now out of the scrape, in which ( I had been mad enough to involve myself. 1 U«>k my hat. and, without stopping an instant 1 to hesitate, hurried off to the hank to make it 1 clean breast of it to Mr. Fauntleroy. When I knocked at the private door, and I asked for him. 1 wa« told that he had not boon t' at the bank for the last two days. One of the r other qartners was there, however, aud was r working at that moment in his own room. 1 - -ent in mv name, at once, and asked to see him. 1 He and 1 were little better than strangers to each other : and the interview wqs lit Ay U> bv. 0 mi that r’.ccoqnt, unspeakably embarrassing and 1 humiliating on my side. .Still, I could not go , home- I could not endure the inaction of the t next dav, the Sunday, without having donemv s beaten the spot, to repair the error into which f mv own follv had led me. I ncomfortuble as I li felt at the puospiwt <u the approaching inter f I lew, I should have been far more uneasy in my 2 mind if the partner had refused to see me. e To mv relief, tho bank-porter returned with a me.-siree requesting me to walk in. \\ hut H particular form any explanations aud apologies n to.,k when I tried to offer them is more than 1 c can tell now. 1 was so confused and distressi'd that 1 hardlv knew what 1 was talking alsmt ant the time.

I went homo, feeling a little easier in I my mind, now that 1 bnd paved the way for making the best practical atonement in my ]siwer, by bringing my balance back the first thing on Monday morning. Still, I passed a - weary day <>n Sunday, reflecting, sadly enough that 1 had not yet made my pence with Mr. Fauntleroy. My anxiety to set myself right with my generous friend was so intense, that I . risked intruding myself on his privacy by call ing nt hi« (own residence on Sunday, lie was i not there: and his servant could tell me noth ing ot bis w hereabouts. Therewns no help for it now but to wait till his week-day duties brought him back to the bank. I went to business on Monday morning, half an-hour earlier than usual, dogreat’was my im patience to restore the amount of that unlucky draft to my’aceount, as soon as possible after the bank opened. On entering my office, I stop ped with a startled feeling, just inside the door. Something serious had happened. The clerks, instead of being at their desks as usual, wtjre all huddled together in a group, talking to each other with blank faces. When they saw me, they fell back behind my managing man, who stepped forward with a circular in his hand. “Have you heard the news, sir?”he said. “ No. What is it?” He handed me the circular. My heart gave one violent throb the instant I looked at it. 1 felt myself turn pale ; I felt my knees trembling under me. ' ) Marsh, Straocy, Fauntleroy and Graham had ( stopped payment. ( •' The circular has not been issued more than , half nn hour,” continued my managing clerk, j “I have just come from the bank, sir. The ( doors are shut—there is no doubt about it.— j Marsh and Company have stopped this morn- | ing.” 1 hardly heard him ; I hardly know who was talking to me. My .strange visitor of the Sat- ( urday had taken instant possession of all my f thoughts; and the words of warning seemed to j be sounding once more in my ears. This man had known the true condition of the bank, when f not another soul outside the doors was aware of it! The last draft paid across the counter of ( that ruined house when tho doors closed on Sat- ( urday, was the draft that I had so bitterly re proached myself for drawing ; the one balance | saved from the wreck was my balance. Where had the stranger got the information that had , saved me; and why had he brought it to my ears ? 1 was still groping, like a man in the dark, for an answer to those two questions—l was still bewildered by the unfathomable mystery of doubt into which they had plunged me. when the discovery of tho stopping of the bank was . followed almost immediately by a second shock, far more dreadful, far heavier to bear, so far as , I was concerned than the first. While I and . my clerks were still discussing the failure of the firm, two mercantile men, who were friends s of mine, ran into the office, and overwhelmed us " with the nows that one of the partners had been arrested for forgery. Nover shall I for- 1 get the terrible Monday morning when the tid- !* ings reached me, and when 1 knew that the , partner was Mr. Fauntleroy. I was true to him—l can honestly say I was c true to my belief in my generous friend—when that fearful news reached me. My fellow-mer chants had got all the particulars of the arrest. They told me that two of Mr. Fauntleroy’s fel low trustees had come up to London to make ar rangements about selling out some stock. On inquiring for Mr. Fauntleroy at the banking i house they had been informed that ho was not | there ; and, after leaving a message for him, < they had gone into tho city to make an appoint ment with their stock broker for a future day, when their fellow trustee might bo able to at- f tend; The stockbroker volunteered to make t certain business inquiries on the spot, with a f view to saving as much time as possible; and ( i left them at his office to await his return. He c came foick, looking very much amazed, with the information that the stock had been sold out, s down to the last five hundred pounds. The ftf. h fair was instantly investigated; th» document authorizing thp soiling was produced ; and the s two trustees saw on it, side by side with Mr. Fauntleroy’s sinature, tlie forged signature of ] their own names. This happened on the Fri day ; and the trustees, without losing a moment r sent the officers ofjustice in pursuit of Mr. Faun tleroy. He wus arrested, brought up before c the magistrate, and remanded, on the Satur day. On Monday I heard from my friends the t particulars which 1 have just narrated. But tho event of that one morning were not destiued, to end, even yet. I had discovered g the failure of the bank, and the arrest of Mr. , Fauntleroy. 1 was next to be enlightened, in the strangest and saddest manner, on the diffi- , cult question of his innocence or hfo guilt. He- t fore my friends hud left my office: before I had k exhausted the arguments which my gratitude rather than reason suggested to me, in favor of t tho unhappy prisoner, u note, marked immedi ate, wus placed in my liund, which silenced me ( the instant I looked ut it. It was written from „ the prison bv Mr. Fauntleroy, and it contained two lines only, entreating me to apply for the f necessary order, and to go and see him imme diately. I shall not attempt to describe the flutter A expectation, the strange misture of dread and n hope that agitated me, when I recognized his ; handwriting, ;\r,d discovered what it was that he desired me to do. I obtained the order, and ’ went to the prison. The authorities, knowing the dreadful situation in which ho atraxl, wore i afraid of his uttemptiiig to destroy himself, and j had set two men to wath him. One came out as they opened the cell door. The other, who 1 was bound not to leave him, very delicately and I considerately affected to be looking out of the i window the moment 1 was shown in. : , He was sitting on the side of his lied, with i his head dropping and his hands hanging list- ' lessly over his knees when I first ctlllglit sight j of him. At the sound of my ap.proreh, tie start- ' ed to his feet, gnd, without speaking a word, | isith liis anus round mv neck. My heart swelled up. “Tell me it’s not true , sir ! For God’s sake, tell me it’s not true !” was all I eould say to him. He never answered—-Oh, mo! he never an- I swered, und hjs turned away bis face. ■ Timre ",;s uno drctidful mmueut of silence, lie still held his arms around my neck: andon ' a sudden he put his lips el .so to my ear. “ Did j you got your money out!" He whisjiered.— I I “ M ere you in time , n Saturday afternoon?” i i I broke free from him, in the astonishment of ) l | hearing those words. •! “What!” 1 cried out loud, forgetting the I I : third person at the window. “That man who i I I brought the message—?” t | “Hush!” ho said, putting his hand on mv ! lips. “ There was no better tiwu to bt> found.

I leave it to greater intellects than mine to re concile the anomaly of his reckless falsehood towards others, and his steadfast truth towards me. It is as certain as that wo sit here, that one of Fauntleroy’s last efforts in this world, was the effort he made to preserve me from lining a loser by the trust that I had placed in him.— There is tho secret of my strange tenderness for the memory of a felon—that is why the word villian does somehow still grate on my heart, when I henr it associated with the name—the disgraced name, I grant you—of the forger Fauntleroy. Pass the Isittles, young gentle men, and pardon a man of the old sch<s>l for having so long interrupted your conversation with a story of the old time. One or. the Si'krciiks.—On th® 7th inst, in the Missouri House of Representatives, on a motion to lay on the table a resolution offered by Mr. Bitt that “the Speaker” be authorized to cause to be printed and posted one hundred bills, announcing that the Bth of January 1859, will be celebrated by tho Legislature, Mr. Pitt made the ollowing speech : Mr. Speaker—This house passed resolutions sir, the otlierjday, to celebrate in nn appropri ate manner the Bth of Jarnnry. This is a res olution simply asking thrt notice be given to the public that we will celebrate that day.— We have declared our intention, and now, when lie come to publish it, some gentlemen is suddenly taken with “the retrenchment gripes,” and squirms around like a long red fishing worm on a pin hook. [Laughter.] Gentlemen keep continually talking about economy. I myself do not believe in tying the public purse with cobweb strings, but when retrenchment comes in contact with patriotism it assumes the form of “smallness." Such economy is like that of the old skinflint who had a pair of boots made for his little boy without soles, that they might last the longer. [Laughter.] I reverence “the day we celebrate.” It£is .rauglit with reminis cences the most soul-stirring; it brings to mind one of the grandest events ever recorded, in letters ofliving fire on the temple of fame, by the strong right arm of the god of war! On such occasions we should rise above party lines and political distinctions. I never fought un der the banner of Old Hickory, but, "by the eternal,” I wish I had. [Laughter and ap plause.] If the old war horse was here now, lie would not know his own children from the side of Joseph’s coat of many colors—Whigs, Know Nothings, Democrats, hard soft-boiled, scrambled and fried ; Lircolnites, Douglasites, and blatherskites! 1 belong to no party. lam free, unbridled and unsaddled, in the political pasture. Like a bobtailed b. -, l in fly time, I charge nround in the high gresand fight my own flies. [Great laughter.] Gentlemen, let us show our liber ality on patriotic occasions. Why, some men have no more patriotism than you could stuff into the eye of a knitting-needle. Let us not squeeze a five cent piece until the eagle on it 1 squeals like a locomotive or an old maid.— Let us print the bills, and inform the country that we are as full of patriotism ns an Illinois swamp is of tadpoles. [Lauhter.] I don’t be lieve in doing things by halves. Permit me, Mr. Speaker, to make a prcticnl quotation from one of o.ir noblest authors: “I love to see the green grass among, tho red May roses; “1 love to see an old gray hoss, for when he goes, he | Penis of Laugh ter. J The resolution was not tabled. Eye Sight.—Milton’s blindness was the re sult of over-work and dyspepsia. One of the most eminent American divines having, for sore time, been compelled to fore go the please :e of reading, has spent thousands of dollars in vain, and lost years of time, in consequence of getting up several hours before day, mid studying by artificial light. His eyes never got well. Never begin to read, or writs, or sew, for several minutes after coming from darkness to a fright light. Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or of a very cloudy day. Never read or sew directly in front of the light, or window, or door. It Is best to have the light foil from above obliquely over the left shoulder. Never sleep so that, on first waking, tho eyes shall open on the light of a window. Do not use the eye-sight by light so scant that it requires an effort to discriminate. Too much light creates a glare, and paina and confuses the sight. The moment you are sensible ot an effort to disliuguish, that mo ment cease, a«d take a walk or ride. A" the sky is blue and the earth green, it would seem that the ceiling should be u bluish tinge, and the carpet green, and the walls of some mellow tint.

A Hunt ik the Dark.—“Le Sport” is re sponsible for the following account of a hunt in the dark in a Commune of tho department of the Seine Infericnre:— Towards the end of a dinner nt the Chateau de G , the hospitable owner of which had assembled a party of ‘[Jolly good fellows,” an enormous pie was put on the table with great pontp and ceremony. “Gentlemen,” ex claimed the Atnphy trion, addressing his guests, “we will, if you please, drink a stirrnp enp, and then to the horse !;” saying which he flour ishod his glass full to the brim with cham pagne. “Mount nt this time of night ?” ex claimed ninny of the gnests in surprise. “Yes,” continued the host, “we will have a fox hunt; everything is ready, the horses are saddled, and the hounds are becoming impatient.” These words increased the astonishment of the company. At the same moment the liniits men blew their horns, and the doors of the dining hails were thrown open. The crust of ! the pie was raised with the point of a knife, . and outjmnped a fox. Reynard paused for a ) moment, then dashed through a window, croes ’ed the park, aud gained the open fields. Be hind him trailed a line of light, drawn by a piece of phosphorus artfully attached to the I animal's tail. The guests, excited by the sud ; den and strange appearance of the fox, moun ted their horses and galloped in pursuit. Key nurd gave them a smart chase for alsmt twen ty -minutes, when ho was run into near the . village of Stc. Marguerite-cur Mer, c< nqielled to stop from fatigue and fright.

Mr. and Mrs. Florence. These distinguished artistes are at present ■ stopping at the Lanier House. They were en gaged by Mr. Fleming to appear on Monday, evening; an Orchestra was also engaged at . Charleston in order to give the proper effect to Mrs. Florence’s beautiful songs and dances, but failed to keep their engagement, in consequence of which our citizens have thus far been de prived of the pleasure of seeing for the first time in Macon, Florence the “Broth, of a Boy,’ and the charming Mrs. Florence in her bril liant and versatile characters. Wo clip the following from the Savannah Republican of the sth, to show the high esti mation in which these artistes were hold by our sister city. “ Anthen.eum.—The benefit of Mrs. Flo rence, last night, came fully up to the import of the term. Every seat was filled, and the passage ways crowded by those were unable to obtain them. The pieces went off in fine spir it, and the audience were kept in the liest hu mor imaginable from thebeginning of the per formance to the close. At the close of the second piece an interest ing little episode occurred before the curtain that is worthy ot note. Mr. Fleming, as an ad ditional testimony of the partiality of the friends of Mrs. Florence, presented her with a beautiful gold watch, chain and brooch, ac companied with an appropriate address. It was handsomely received by the fair beneficia ry, and Mr. Florence added his word of thanks.” Since writtingthe above we understand that at the solicitation of a number of our citizens, Mr. Florence has himself gone to Savannah to engage an Orchestra in order not to deprive us of the rich treat we have in store. How is it that every city and town in the United States have a Band of Musicians except Macon ? We are sure it is not a lack of mnsical taste. Anti-Slavery. The State Anti-Slavery Convention assem bled in Albany, N. Y., on the Ist inst., and adopted the following resolutions: lUsvlred, That in advocating a dissolution of the Union, the abolitionists arc justified by every pre cept of the gospel, every principle of morality and every claim of humanity. Htndeed, That the Union is a covenant with death, and ought to bo annulled—an agroemotit with hell which ajust God cannot jwrmit to stand—and that t is the paramount duty of all io buck, its imme diate overthrow. The resolutions go still further, and quote the language of Senator Win. 11. Seward, pre dicting an irrepressible conflict between the Free and Slave States, declaring also, that no party is worthy of confidence whatever its pro fessions may be, if it refuses to attack the insti tution of slavery itself. This is a specimen of Northern sentiment, and yet the “Fire Eaters” are denounced for resenting these insulting attacks of the Aboli tionists. South-Western Rail Road Co.

The increase, we are pleased to see still goes on. We have already remarked that the four days ending the 29th January, the receipts were over $400,000 at New York alone. Wo observe that on the two days of 31st January and Ist Febuary, they were $485,000, the latter day $265,095. For the last four weeks the receipts have av eraged about $1,000,000 per week. The sur plus in the Treasury at New York on the Ist instant was $7,587,998. The advocates for a high and a protective tariff had better “hurry up the cakes,” other wise the present tariff may have to be reduced to prevent plethory in the Treasury. Jfontg omrrg Confederacy I From Africa. A writer on board the U. S. flag ship Cum berland, in a letter from Porto Pray a to the Boston Courier, gives an interesting descrip tion of Benguela and the country adjacent.— Benguela is the capital of the Portuguese pro vince of the same name, and contains about 2,- 00 inhabitant, of whom about 100 are whites, or mixed blood, and the rest pure blacks. The country abounds in game, and the river swarms with crocodiles and hippopotomi, while twenty miles in the interior, lions, tigers ami elephants are to be found. During the stay of the Cumberland at Benguela, a party of natives from the interior at rived, laden with elephants’ tusks and gum copal. They are described as being tall and erect, and some of them good looking of graceful carriage; but they were all miserably dirty and emaciated, and nearly —some of them quite —without clothing.— They exchange their* ivory and gum with the Portuguese lor coarse cutton cloth, some old condemned government muskets, powder, and a few bottles of rum—the Portuguese getting the best of the bargain; and they were again fleeced by the women of nearly all they ob tained, save the .rum, which they took good care to drink at once. The writer describes a native village wliielibe tiuited wheretliwre was , such dancing, jumping and shontingaiaaajthe i natives, in honor of the America B«, that they seemed to be so many happy mat. iocs.

Feb. 5. Mr. Toombs moved to reconsider the vote by which the Senate passed the Missouri two per cent, land bill. Adopted. The discussion on the bill was deferred. Mr. .Seward presented the memorial of the Legislature of New York, instructing the Sena tors from that State to oppose au increase of the rate of postage. Also, a memor-al from citizens of New York in favor of the Homestead Law. Mr. Clay, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a substitute for the Secretary of the Treasury's recommendations of economy. The substitute proposes to economize by reducing the expenditures some $600,000. It was or dered to Iks printed, and will be called up at the earliest opportunity. HOUSE.

MOKE GOLD DISCOVERIES St. Louis, Feb. 9.—Maj. Culberton reports the discovery of very prolific grid mines, near Stevens’ Pass, in the vicinity of the head wa ters of the Columbia and Missouri rivers. Murder and Bank Robbery.—A horrible murder was committed at Jackson, Tennessee, on Tuesday night of last week. The room of Geo. E. Miller, a clerk in the bank, who kept the keys of the bank vaults under his pillow, was entered, and after murdering him by means of a hammer, the bank was robbed of $25,405. No cine has been discovered as to who the par ties to this horrible tragedy are.— Aug. Dis. Gen. 'Walker Received into the Catholic Church. —On the Ist instant, says the Mobile .Mercury, a large concourse of citizens, and many strangers visiting our city, were attract ed to the Catholic Cathedral by a rumor that General William Walker would at that time be initiated into the bosom of the Catholic Church. All the surroundingsrendered the oc casion one of solemn interest. The season of the year mid the hour gave to the Cathedral that “dim, religious light” so favorable to se rious impressions. The venerable Vicar-Gen eral, in his gorgeous robes, and attendent priests, in their sacred vestments, the deep re sponse, the solemn chant, the burning tapers, and vessels of the sanctuary, inspired in the beholders wonder mid reverence. But the most striking feature of the scene was General Walker himself—the hero of many fields, the statesman and lawgiver—kneeling there, with the humility ofa child, and listening to the in structions of those to whom, it is claimed, God has committed the authority of his Cliuroli mid the dispensation oi his Gospel. We cannot give the'details of what oecured, but suffice it to say that General W alker is now a member of the Catholic Church, to whose fold he has been led, wo have no doubt, by over-whelming conviction, as be was reared after the straightest sect a Presbyterian, and, we have heard, prepared himself for the ser vices of the pulpit in that denomination.

NUAIBER 18. 1 and J.—There arc no two letters in the manuscript alphabet of the English language which occasions so much trouble, or cause so much misconstruction as the two letters I and J, as many persons, either ignorantly or inad vertently write them. u The rule for writting them properly, and which should be universally understood and adopted, is to extend the J below the line, while the I should bo written even with the line and n not varied below it. This is not so trivial a matter in it might secin nt a first glance, for many persons arc very sensitive alsmt the prop ■ or rendering of their names—getting into a rage with the printer or proof-reader, if a mistake is made, when the fact is the blame should at tach to their own carelessness aud improper eliirography. It is, however, very natural for the best tempered men he feel annoyed when he reads his name in connection with some dis r reputable affair with which he had nothing to do; or sees ifec glorious commendations of some highly meritorious action, or a complimentary notice intended for him, entirely spoiled anil . subverted by the unfortunate insertion of some other individual’s name, which appens to be . very like his own, Mr. AV in.

Prepare for 1886.—AVe would not be alarm ists under any circumstances, hut would merely recommend all to prepare for the great hereaf ter. if there be any truth in the following old French prophecy, which wc find in a rare old French work. The prophecy started in the mountains of Cevennes. in France, and is receiv ed with much credit. It is to the effect that when Easter Sunday fulls on St. Mark's day, which necessarily causes Good Friday 11 fall on St. George’s day, and Corpus Christi on St. John’s day. the end of the world is at hand.— The following is the old proverb in quaint French:— Quand Georges Dieu crueifiera, Que Marc le resuseitera, Et quo Saint Jean le Portera, La tin du monde arrivcni. As these rather remarkable coincidences take place in A. D. 1886, seme of growing up gene ration of young men will have a means of seeing whether the prophet of Cevennes spoke truth fully or not. llow to go to Bed.—Half » Journal of Health, in speaking of this subject, says: “In freezing winter time do it in a hurry, if there is no fire in the room, and there ought not to be unless you arc quite an invalid. But if a person is not in good health, it is best to undress by a good fire, warm and dry the feet well, draw on the stockings again, run into a room u ith out a fire, jump into bed, bundle up. with head and ears under cover for a minute or more, until you feel a little warmth; then un cover your head, next draw oil' j our stockings, straighten out. turn over on your right side, j and go to sleep.

General Scott, produced a document, wassworn [ to several years since, as n j>art of evidence on , a pension claim. This was the evidence of a 1 soldier at Lundy’s Lane, who stated in his as- ’ firmation that Gen. Scott, after he was wound- I ed, rode to the line where the soldiers were sta tioned, “ his neek, breast :md arms in » gore of blood, which ran down his leg and trickled from his foot upon the ground, and said to the com mander of his line—'l am wounded and very weak. 1 want one of your young men to get up behind me on my horse. A young man threw down his musket, and at one spring leap ed upon the horse, and they slowly galloped away to the main body of the army.” The ex citement produced by reading this document was thrilling in the extreme. The hundreds present rose to their feet and gave most vehe ment cheers, so that it was some minutes before the speaker could proceed. gejy* On the 21st inst. a recontre occurred at the door of the House of Representatives be tween Hon.

Unparalleled Meanness.—An individual iu this city, held an execution against another, which was placed in the hands of the slieritf for the purpose of collecting the claim, buttbat officer finding no property, it was returned unsatisfied. A short time since, the creditor discovered a small monument nt one of the marble yards in the eity, which had been or dered by the debtor to’be placed over the grave of a little child he had recently buried. Forth with this worthy exemplar of Bhylock waited iqion the Sheriff and instructed him to levy upon the stone. The officer very properly remonstrated against an act so barbarous and unchristian, but without avail.—He wasthtcat etied with prosecution nnless he performed this unpleasant dnty, and the stone was according ly seized and in due time sold.
