John Smith again.— John Smilh —the nbiqutious, versatile John Smith was among the prisoners yes terday who were brought tip before Recorder Baldwin. John is a very Proteus in appearance. Sometimes he assumes the air ami hearing of a Broadway swell, carries his ebony cane, walks in high, tapered heel, morocco hoots, wears stocking-sha ped trowsers, magnetises his eye glass so as to make it stick over hi eye, and looks through it at the la dies, wears his lint to kill , and dis plays his watch guard, linger rings and broach to the host possible ad vantage. Again lie appears as it man of sober thoughts and subdued passions; ihe back part of the leaf of his hat is turned up by the collar of Ins coat; he carries an orange colored cane with stiver mounting and an ivory top; Bo invariably wears a double breasted vest, and in winter sports a Boston wrapper; he is always foreman of the Srnith vi!!e jury, and when his opinion is i....i., c.jjpc t outs the end of bis cane to his mouth, lets his eye-lids full, ami delivers his opinion on the most trivia] subject with as much gravity as the judges of ihe Supreme fourt of the Uni ted States w ould deride on a consti tutional question. There is only one era in his life, and that is the period of his marriage; from this he pre-dates and anti-dates all pub lic events and private records. If it he asked, Mr. Smith, do you re member the victory of McDonough on Lake Brief Do 1 remember it? asks Mr. .Smith. To bo sur \ do; it occurred exactly three year- and three days after mv marriage with Mrs. Smith; and my son John, that is now a lawyer in the Out West, and who ran for member of Con gress on the Democratic ticket and got licked, he was precisely one year, eleven months and six days old when the news reached YVasb ington. Why, hi* ss you, I remem ber it as yesterday. John Smith frequently musks himself as a stage driver; wears a leather hat and a coat with many capes lo it. lie, iu this profession, cracks his whip at his horses, and cracks hi.s jokes at the servant maids in the different taverns on his ‘drive.’ When John assumes the politician and takes the stamp, he in nine cases out of ten smells strongly of brandy cocktails; i.is coat is generally torn under the arm from the violent manner in which he saws and cross-cuts the ti ir with that appendage of liis body. 11 is whole dress bespeaks negli gence, for how could a man who lives only for his country pay any attention to his toilette? Tavern keeping too is a favorite employ ment with John Smith. He suc ceeds best in small western villages, and adopts the credit or cash sys tem to suit exigencies. lie gets on well for a time; the prospect is most flattering. His customers are not more pleased wit It his liquor t han with his lingo; he is a talking ga zette, and though the mail fil to furnish news John tvnith never does. A newspaper is at length es tablished in the village, and the shoemaker takes out a iicens* fm selling grog. It is now all up with j John; his custom continues to tie- j elino, his news and his hard cider] grow stale, and, like the -tar oi em pire, sti!! farther westward betakes his way. Having said so much about John! Smith in genera!, we will now turn ; to John Smith in particular John Smith the prisoner. He is neither a dandy, a man in the vale of years, a politician, or a ‘publican.’ He is a deck hand of a Wississippi steamboat, and is of com seal! ‘above board.’ When on hoard lie fires up, and when ashore he fires down; in both cases he generally goes it too strong, ami the result is the same— a collapse, a blow up, or a break down. John, on Thursil ly night, went it witii ft rush; he burst his boiler, and was found ‘done bursted’ in Girod street. “John Smith,” said the Recor der. “I’m lhar ,” said John. “V\ h re?” asked the Recorder. “Here,” said John. ‘O on have been up here before,” said the Recorder. “I reckon not, “squire,” said John. “Mr. Lafonta,” said the Recor der, “refer to the book and see if you don’t find the name of John Smith on it.” “Mr. Lafonta did refer to the book; be opened the alphabet at the letter S, and till he saw but con firmed the opinion of the Recorder. “Ves sir,” said Mr. Uatoiua io tho Recorder, “it is here.” “Here is John Smith, arrested on the 2Gth December last us a dangerous and suspicious character; then here again on the 30th Janua ry is John Smith arrested for utter ing a counterfeit bill, then here is John Smith, arrested on thelTrh of March for being drunk and abusive lo the watchmen; aud here is John Smith on tno 12tii of May, for fight ing on the Levee; in fad, sir, I find there is not a month foi the last twelve that he has not been up be fore vou.” “Why, by jingo,” said John, “I never was in the city before in my life—never; there must be a mis take—there’s a screw loose some where.” The ‘picture book’ was then re ferred to, to prove John’s identity. ‘This is a book tvhere the most skil ful physiognomist among the police officers takes an ‘etching’of every prisoner’s appearance-centering his name, his country, his age, the color of his hair and of his eyes, the form of his nose, and the cut of his whis kers. Fortunately for John not one of those whose names were read out by Mr. Lafonta, corresponded in ap pearance v'irh hitn, and the infer ence therefore was, that some scamps had assumed John’s good name. As there was a doubt at till j” case, the Recorder gave him the benefit oi timi uouot, and merely remanded him lo be vouched for. From the Health Journal. DEATH FROM TIGHT LACING. I bare seen and am much pleased with vour paper, and doubt not it S will do much good, i hope for it an i extensive circulation. In one of the late nutubers you call for facts, whether communicated inelegant language or not. i have recently ! learned one to which I gave all pos sible publicity, and have tol<l it in j almost every circle of the young in which J have since found myself. Two weeks since, while on a visit to the house of a respectable, long experieiuced physician in one of the Southern boundary towns in j\ew Hampshire, he gave me in substance the following account, as near as I can recollect: He was caller!, a week or two pre vious, to visit a young female, 1 think, over twenty years of age, who was distressingly ill of a com plaint of the lungs, laboring under great difficulty of breathing, which his discrimination led him at once to impute to a long continued prac tice of fight lac h/g- —a practice which is slaying it thousands ami tens of thousands in our enlightened land. There was, in his opinion, and ad hesion of the lungs to the chest, and a consequent inflammation which had proceeded to such a height that death was inevitable. Little or no thing could he (lone. The poor girl, after a few days of acute suffering, fell a victim to —(what shall I say! I am unwilling to wound the feel ings of her friends) her own folly and vanity. It could not he suicide , be cause no such result was contem plated, though the deed was done by her own hand. We Can cal! it hy no softer name then soU slgau fi ter, for such even an external ex amination of the body proved it to have been. The shoulder blades wore found to be literally lapped one over the other: the falscrih.- h and been so com pressed that tlie space of only about; an inch and a half remained be tween them: and so great was the l urvatuie of the spine which had J I been girded in bv t lie cords of death, I that after the corpse was laid out; I for interment, two pillows were put j I under the arch thereby formed, j while the shoulders listed mi the j j board. > lie was a large, healthy i ; person, and was ignorantly ied by j I the desire to | lease, to sacrifice her j I life at the shrine of fashion, and the 1 prevailing false ideas of beauty o! form. She was said to be of amiable ; disposition and correct moral habits, otherwise. i Mv own mind was so impressed ■ with the recital of this story, that I • could hardly forbear weeping over the folly, and weakness, and ignor ance, and wickedness of inv sex. I inwardly wished for the ability to ring this case of suffering and death in the ears of every female in our land, until their valuntarih’-assurn ed “straight-jackets,” that indicate | nothing belter than mental aberra tion in the wearers, should he vol untarily thrown aside. The Horrors of War. —A Paris correspondent ot‘ the New York Commercial, adverting to tho pro gress of events in Algiers, furnishes this frightful picture: “A strong column of 5,000 men marched to re victual the garrison of Miliaria,and when they arrived they found that out of 1,250 men who had been left there in June, 800 were dead, about 400 were sick and GT Ulllv Vt LI L L(i|ialitL KjC uv.pj.ol.f the fatigues of tiic march hack to Algiers. Os the 400 sick, the half were too ill to he removed, and the otliers were conveyed to tho hospi tal of Bouffai ick. This destructive work was effected within four months. They were even in want of every necessary. The flour was spoiled and full of worms. They had neither wine, brandy nor salt. The water of the wells had been rendered putrid hy 1 ho bodies of the Jews whom tiie Arabs had thrown into them for that purpose on evac uating the city. There remained but eleven oxen, and the men had been on quarter rations for month past. They would in fact inevita bly have been starved if their num bers had not been thinned hy nu merous deaths. They had employ ed the first month in making forti heat ions, but a raging hot wind arose and carried off great numbers. The stock ot febrifuge medicines, which had lieen laid in upon a calculation for one hundred patients, was entire ly exhausted. The town had been constantly blockaded by the Arabs until the arrival of the troops. The latter were barrassed on t heir march by continual attacks, but they al-l ways repulsed the enemy, and final- j ly reached their destination with a loss of only 300 killed and wound ed, while that of the Arabs was pre sumed to amount to 1,200.” Tor lure in Athens. — We find in a London paper the following state ment: \ Greek (though a ‘Turkish sub ject) happened to be in a house where o robbery for about 400 dollurs was committed. He was accused, taken up by the captain of geisdarmuric, and most horribly tortured at differ ent times to obtain a confession; at last, after suffering unheard of cru elties, such as being hung up by the legs, an iron hoop screwed round bis forehead, wounds inflicted in his thigh and legs, he managed to send a message to the Turkish Mi nister, who claimed him. and who has addressed a strong official note to the Greek government. The person who superintended all this torture, and who ordered it, is na med Zoro, and he is the only person admitted daily to an audience ofthe King. Whereas, his great minis ters are obliged to apply for a whole week together before they can get an audience, howsoever urgent may he thair business ! SCRAPS. It is common now-n-days for men to carry their arguments m their fists. Why are politicians, on the day of election, like beans? Because they hang about the po/k. Marrying a lady for her beauty, is like eating a bird for its singing. Why is a tear shed in secret like a vessel of war? Because it is a yri -9 de tear. “Reality soon decays,” as the la dy said when somebody applied a wet sponge to her red checks. “You are determined to get ine in a broil,” as the chicken said to the gridiron. “By jahers!” said an Irish ’squire, fresh from Connaught, after a long examination of a locomotive, “i should not lie astonished to find my self some fine morning out hunting on m) takenle!” Among the latest English inven tions is an Aquatic Life Hat, war ranted to prevent downing, provided S the wearer can swim long enough for a boat to pick him up. Gold'j/iith's fir it rr-ridence in London. — “I called on Gold n h's lodgings n. March, 1759, and found him writing hi: ‘lu a yy in a miserable, uuly-Lcktng room, in wjsu'at here vat onexlia*r; mu when, from .Jvii'tv, he resigned it to me, he himself was obliged sit in ‘.he window.

But this not satisfy ? ing - the querist, the voice again repeated tfie demand, to which he answered louder than > be;ore; and now the door was opened by an old woman with cautious reluctance. When we got in, he welcomed tne to his house with great ceremony; and turning to the old wo man, ashed where was her lady. ‘Good troth,’ replied she, in a peculiar dialect, ‘ she’s washing your twa shirts at the next doer, be cause they have taken an oath against lendm.- the tub any longer.’ ‘My two shirts’’ cii and he, in a tone that faltered with confusion ; ,‘what does the idiot mean V ‘I ken what 1 mean well enough,’ replied the other; 6 she's washing yer twa shirts at the next door, be cause— ’ ‘ Fire and fury ! ho more of this stupid exclamation,’ cried he; ‘go and inform her we have company. Were that Scotch hag to be forever in my family, she never would learn politeness, nor forget that absurd, poisonous accent of here, or testify the small est specimen of breeding or high life ; and yet it, is, very surrrisiii.tr, too, as I had her from a Parliament man, a. inedtf oi mine irolu ,'J ’ lighlands, one ot the politest men in thtf world; but that’s a secret.’ ” — lrving's Life of Goldsmith . i Travelling in the seventeenth Century in England. — Biackwood notices a book publish ed by Dr. Edward Chamberlayue in the 17tii century, entitled “ Anglia Rolaiia” printed m Ragland, and also at Amsterdam, “in order to extinguish in some measure the thirst which foreigners generally had to know the state of this considerable monarchy.” The Doc’ speaks oi the astonishing speed and cornu; ... diousness of travelling which did then prcv.il m the said “considerable monarchy,” and vamr.ed ihereot—thus:—“There is of ]r> s e such an admirable commodiousness noth h r men and women, of letter rank,to travel from Ijondon to almost any great town of Englaiu , tnat the like hath not been known in the world, and that is by stage coaches, v he” j. one may be transported to any place, skein.- ed from foul weal her and foul ways, free endangering on eh health or body by ging or over violent motion, and ..bus not at a low price, as about a .shilling for , live miles, but with such velocity and sr as that the posts in gome foreign count, make not more miles in a day; for the stag; coaches, called dying coaches, make forty rr fifty miles in a day, as from London to Oxford or Cambridge, and that in the space of twelve hours, not counting the time for dining; set ting forth not too early, nor coming in too late.” Those “flying coaches” were certainly re markable vehicles. To make “ forty of fifty miles in a day, and that in twelve hours, not counting the time for dining,” must have re quired uncommon exertions—so much so that neither driver nor horses could have Indulged in a nap on the road for any great length of time. The passengers, it is true, might. It is well tor Dr. Chamterlayne’s peace of mind that he is not. living in the present year, A. D. 1840. Will the time ever come when jtrrrqr.t’ or rt iQtUic ***** MJUIk uain upvxn. the records cf the period mid Bmile at the boast that travelling now goes on at the rate of twenty miles an hour. There is one of the Doctor’s phrases which illustrates an important fact, viz.: that in the’ seventeenth century, females of the ‘better rank’were called ‘women.’ This is one of the obsolete expressions of ancient times, which, like the modes of travelling then pre vailing, are now mostly gone out of use. It is becoming a matter of some doubt whether there are any women now in this country. There are ladies in great abundance, and, it must be confessed, some very beautiful and accomplished ones. The physical changes which have taken place within the last half century, accelerate motion and impart rapidity to all operations— are they accompanied by corresponding chan ges in the progress of intellectual things? The proper answer seems to be in the affirma tive. Doctrines, principles, -systems, whether political, moral, or philosophical, are now dif fused with a quickness never before equalled; and let them be good, bad or indifferent, the results are soon arrived at; their tendencies are developed; there is but a step between conception and ultimate application. Derivation of the names of some of the Slat . Rivers, <fc. —In Plymouth County, there war great disputes as to the name of the Province afterwards called Massachusetts Day. Chi - es the old Puritans asked an old negro, “Well, Caisar, what name shall we give our country here?—Cuffy’s reply was, “ Massa , choose, it.” In 1801, a family of emigrants were de fcendiiig what is now the Ahbirna River. One of the ladies suggested that they should name the stieam; “T’aint a stream, its a!I a bar, Ma ,” cried a little urchin, now a distin guished member cf Congress. The river has since gene by that name. At the first settlement of Jamestown, there were two rival stores. The keeper of one was an old Scotchman, who kept excellent liquors, and gin being in great demand for julaps, hung out a sign, “/or gin here ,” with a finger pointing in at the door. He was soon called 11 Old For gin here,” which has been corrupted into Old Virginia. The original name of the Ohio River was the appropriate one of La Belle Riviere. When the settlers bogau to cultivate its banks, the people of Western Pennsylvania and Virginia soon became interested in the age of water in the river, and would en quire of every traveller from that direction, “ ow’a the water?” The reply was “Oh high.” And if there was a fresh, “Oh, high, oh.” This was adopted sw the name and” is now written Ohio. Curious li atch. —We find mention made in the papers of a transparent watch.
