OP CLARK COUNTY.
\V a had the pleasure yesterday evening of
waking a short visit to tlio Cocoonery of Mr.
Hutchinson, at the Hampton Course, at the
l ower end of this oily, and cannot withhold the
expression of our admiration of the evidences
which met our eyes, not only of the practica
bility of raising silk here, hut of doing it pro
fitably. He has now near 100,1)00 worms either
in the act of spinning or almost ready to do so,
and they are. the largest we have seen.
We witnessed also the machinery of Mr. fisy,
for reeling the silk from the cocoons, and inarm
factoring it into sowing silk If is an ingenious
invention, yet simple and efficacious. Should
the culture of silk he carried into successful op
eration, this invention or something similar will
be as necessary to the silk business, ns the gin is
to cotton. It will he exhibited again this even
ing, and is well worthy Ihe at lent ion ofall who fe 1
an iTitcrcsl in the silk culture, or in ingenious in
ventions in machinery.
Sometime since a report was in circulation in
this city, sud ns we understood, iii several other
parts of this Nlntc, in the highest degree injurious
and ruinous to the character of Dr. Marks' Fe

C, How it originated we never could learn, and
as nothing has been heard of it for some weeks,
pi.bite opinion, wholly incredulous from the firs t

W c now .take pleasure in saving that the most
ineontestible evidence of the utter and entire false
hood anti groundlessness of the report tins been
placed in our possession, and can he seen at our
office. It is from such men ns \V. (', Preston,

a sheer fabrication without even the slightest cir

Important Decision. — We learn from the
Philadelphia Ledger, that in u ease which cai.'.c
before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, at the
late session, it was decided that the goods of u
boarding house are nut liable for the tenant's rent.
The plaint!lT occupied two rooms of a boarding
house and furnished his apartments with furni
ture of his own, paying a slated sum per week
The landlord distrained the furniture for rent due
him hy the tenant. Tne Chief Justice, in deliv
ering the opinion of the court, declared, that this
case fell within a principle already established,
that for the benefit of trade, a thing put upon ren
ted premises hy a customer in the way of a tenant’s
business, is privileged from distress; and after
proving, in opposition to the statements of some
text-writers, that the ground of this exemption
was in all cases public convenience and policy,
he showed that there was no difference in this res
pect between the present case and any of those in
which the exemption was admitted, nor more es
pecially between the case of an Inn, where con
fessedly the goods of ugliest arc not subject to dis
tr*ss for the tenant's rent.

Whan the Great Western left, nearly all the

I it was supposed that she would have a lull freight

i extract from a letter from a gentleman in Glasgow :
I “ I yesterday went down to see the British
Queen. They are completing the ladies' cahin,
and next week put in old cloths, carpels, heda.
and begin to paint her from stem to stern, outside
and in. You will, as will every body else, be sur

engine room there is a wide walk (on a level with
the saloon door) protected by a hra-s railing, so
that visiters and passengers may have a fine view
of the machinery without interfering witli the

An Outrage.
The Loco Faces of New York appear deter
mined to carry matters with a high hand in that
city. They have hit upon a novel hut outrage
ous expedient, In order to secure the election of a
chief engineer of the fire department, of their own
s bool of politics. The Commercial says,
By u recent law a change lias been presc ihcd
in tire mode of electing the chief engineer of
I lie (ire department, by which that oiiiecr, in
stead ol lienig elected l>y the people, is to lie ap
pointed by l lie foremen and assistant foremen of
the fire engine and hose companies. Now, inas
much us the lire department is made up of a
class of highly respectable elKeient and energetic
men, it so happens that a very decided majority
of them are Whigs. The election of a chief en
gineer takes place by law tonight; and in the
ordinary course of events, Mr. Anderson, the pre
sent excellent engineer, who is deservedly popu
lar with the department, would have been re
el cled.
But the Agrarians could not endue that a
single Whig should by any means he retained in
any oflice whatsoever. They have, therefore,
proceeded privately, in getting up and organizing,
by the selections of tools of their own, a hutch ol'
twenly-lour new fire companies, not wanted for
the public scrvi e of the city, for the sole and
only purpose of creating forty-eight foremen and
assistants, to vote to-niglit against Mr. Anderson!
The expense of organising these companies will |
he one hundred thousand dollars.
One of the most glaring and objectionable spe
cimens of "J'lxecutivo interference with the free

propr. a persona, ns the writer of an electioneer- .
mg paper intended for the Tennessee market, i
written and sent to a citizen of that State, to lie I
used in the political contest now going on there, \
and published now for the benefit of the party c
generally. This article is an elaborate vindicu- v
lion of the conduct of Mr, Van Buren duringtbe

j Mr. Grundy’s ollice, for the performance ofvvhich j
he receives a handsome salary, are so light as to
enable him toilevole much ol his .fine to “inter
ference with the elections” in the tSiulcs, the
compensation ought to he decreased. At any
rale, we hud thought that Mr. Grundy, now dial •
fio is escoueod in n comfortable berth, would have (
borne in mind his own famous speeih, in which
he said that he “never saw an office-holder busy j
with elections, that lie did not think that he (the j

A remnrkable feature in the character of the
Cnbeans is their fidelity and unfaltering alle
giance to tbc Spanish crown, ft may he called
i remarkable, because it is the only colony of Spain
i in the two America* that has proved true to the
mother countiy. One a ter another, the posses
sions ol on this continent has been wrest

i inenta have been made upon her domain, till a
territory that oner contained half a world has
i dwindled down to the compass ol a single island,
i Rebellion has spread through all the other pro
| vineos. The colonial yoke has been thrown otf
i l>y every slate from Mexico to Chili, but amid
i the disaffection Cuba remains firm in her attach
j ment to the throne. During the three hundred
I ears that have elapsed since the first habitation
! f the Island by the Spaniards, no mention is
1 nnde ul any insurrection, or serious attempt to 1
i eitablish an independent government. Revolt!- j
lion after revolution fibs fhroken out on the con
t tinent, but the contagion of the example lias
never rc.idird the insular province of (ail'a.
’l'hin may be accounted for partly from the pro- i
cautions of •'Spain, and partly from the position of j
the Island. The government have always bud j
a powerful force established at Havana, strong
enough to keep in subjection the population oi
mo whole eily ami country adjacent. Ibe for
tifications at that port arc esteemed impregnable.
As long as the garrison proved true to their sov
ereign, its eaptuie was ( n ndered impossible. Ret
it had command of the Island. Hence all that
wits necessary to overawe the spirit ol sedition
and revolution, was to strengthen this point by
garrisoning it with an army of tried and un
doubted fidelity. This Spain has always taken
care to do.
The number of troops stationed at Havana is
seldom leas than twenty thousand. The officers j
selected for the station are always men whose al
legiance is unquestioned. As a lurlber security
against secret plots or conspiracies, every few
years changes are made in the appoint
ments, and the old regiments ore removed to
distant parts to make room for a fresh garrison.
I In this wav 100 great an intimacy between the
populace and the garrison is avoided, thereby
avoiding any sympathy or concert of action be- i
tween them. For if the army weie. once gained
over to the popular side, an end would soon be
put to the Spanish domination; hence the fre
quent changes that take place. The jealousy of I
the Government would not suffer even Gen. Ta
con to remain long at the head of affairs, not
withstanding bis great usefulness and efficiency.
Heie no little sagacity is evinced, and to precau
tions of ibis kind, ami the insular position of the
province which separates it from the other Span
ish American stales, is Spain indebted for the
preservation of that bright jewel of her crown —
the Island of (Julia. Rut Ibis security cannot
last much longer. Already signs of disaffection
show themselves, and if we may believe current
reports, the spirit of revolution is at work. A
gentleman just arrived from the Island, on whose
veracity every reliance eon he placid, has inform
ed the editors of the Louisianian, “that great dis
content prevailed among the natives. They arc
much dissatisfied with the European Spaniards,
who have seized upon all employments, civil and
military. There ware some apprehensions of a

recommenced in the city of Havana. It was

Huron Rothschild.
A late German journal {die 12.'senbalm, the
Rail Road) relates the following incident:
A merchant named Joseph Rothschild resided
at Pesth, in Hungary. His business was small,
a-d became quite unprospcrcus. Ui« wife j
auk. and every thing seemed to be. going barfly
in his establishment. Notwithstanding ins in
telligence and his industry, he was not able to
supply the w ants of his family, and he resolved
to go to Vienna, and try to obtain from some of
his fellow countrymen some articles of trade, upon
credit. Two days after his departure, his wife
gave frith to a son. The child was flourishing,
but the mother, alone and destitute, wrote to her
husband to beg him to return to her, and not
knowing where he lodged in the great city, she
addressed her letter merely to Joseph Rothschild,
Vienna, dinner, which has overlhown many
well laid plots, and sometimes causes miserable
ones to succeed, was this lime favorable to the
unfortunate.
Flic letter was carried to the Ranker, Raron
Solomon Rolhehild, who having accidentally
opened and read it, moved by the complaints of
the poor woman, sent her immediately a hill at
sight lor a hundred florins, and afterwards caused
search to he made in Vienna for Joseph Roths
child, of Pesth. The latter was ngm found, and
desired to go to the house of hia n; frsakc. The
poor merchant was not a little jprised to he
summoned to visit a man whom he did not know,
and with whom he had never had any intercourse.
He went, however, and was received hv the
hanker in the most friendly manner, and liaron
Rothschild congratulated him on the birth of his
sin. The merchant was much astonished.and
ha dly knew what to say. Mr. Rothschild then
gave him the letter from Pesth, and said to him,
laughing, ‘you will now want a godfather; take
me. if yon please, and have no anxiety fur the
future support of the little citizen of this world,
who has just seen the light—l will lake charge of
it myself. A considerable present crowned the
good work.
From Chambers' Kdinhurgh Journal.
I.ove at «>ne Glimpse.
Some years ago, there used to be painted out,
upon the streets of Glasgow, a man whose intel
lect had been unsettled upon a very strange ac
count. When a youth he had happened to pass
a lady on a crowded thoroughfare—> lad-; who, e
extreme beamy, though dimmed by the inter
vention of a veil, and seen but nme nt, made
e.n indelible impression on bis mind. This
lovely vision shot rapidly past him, and was in
an instant lost amidst the common place crowd
through which it moved. He was so confound
ed by the tumult of his feelings, that he could
not pursue or even attempt to sec it again. Yet
he never afterwards forgot it.
With a m-tul full of distracted thoughts, and
J a heart alternately filled with gushes of pleasure
l and paiu.fhe man slowly left the spot where he
j had remained for some minutes as it vveic thun
| derstruek. He soon after, without being aware
| of what he wished, or what lie was doing, found
himself a an at the plare. He came to the
very spot where lie had stood when the lady
passed, mused lor some lime about it. went a lit
| tie distance, and then came up as when he met
| the exqu site subject of his reverie—uneonseinus
| ly deluding himself with the idea that this might
j r-call her to the spot. t»he came not. he felt
| disappointed, he l ied again, still she d.d not
pass. lie continued to traverse the place till
evening when the streets became descried. Ry
and hv he was loft altogether alone. He then
siw that all his fund ctluris were vain, and he
; left the silent, lonely street at midnight, with a
soul as desolate as that gloomy terrace.
For weeks afterwards he was never out of the
street. He wandered thither and hither, often
visiting the place where he had fiisl seen the ob
ject nt his abstracted thoughts, ns if he consi
dered that In- had a better chance of see-ng I cr
there than any where else. He frequrr.te 1 every
pi tee of public amuseihent to which lie could
pu c.ii’bs the admission, and he made the tour of
I all chinches. All was in vain He never again
pliiocii ins ojes on that nngc'tc countenance. j
She was ever present to his mental optics, but ;
she never appeared again in a tangible form. ,
Without her essential presence, ail the world |
besides was to him a blank a wilderness. j
Madness invariably takes possession of the i
, mind that broods over much or over upon j
I some engrossing idea. So did it prove with this
| singular lover. He grew innocent, as the people
of ibis country tendcily phrase it. His insanity,
however, was little more than mere abstraction.
The course of his mind was stopped at a parti
cular point. After this he made no further pro- j
gross in any intellectual attainment. He ac- t
quirt'd no new ideas. His whole soul stood still. .
He was like a clock stopped at a particular hour,
with some things too. about him, which, like the
motionless indices of that machine, pointed out
the date of the interruption ; ns for instance, he '
1 ever after wore a peculiarly long-backed, and j
| high-necked eoal, as well as neck-cloth with a
| particular spot, being the fashion of the year
when he saw the lady.
Indeed, he was a sort of living memorial of
the dress, gait, and manners of a former Hay.—
1 It was evident that he clung with a degree of
| fondness to every thing which bore relation to
the great incident of his life. IVor could he cn
[ dure any tiling that tended to cover up or screen
| from his recollection that glorious yet melancholy
I circumstance. He had the same feeling of ve
neration for that day, the circumstances, and for
| himself as lie then existed, which caused the
] chivalrous lover of former times to preserve upon
bis lips, as long as he could, the imaginary de
j light which they bad drawn from the touch of
I his mistress’s hand.
When I last saw this unfortunate person, he
| was getting old, and seemed more deranged than
formerly. Every female whom he met on the
I street, especially if at all good looking, he gazed
I at with an enquiring, anxious expression; and
j when she had passed, he usually stood still a few
} moments and mused, with his eyes east upon the
I ground. It was remarkable that be gazed most
j anxiously upon women whose age and figures
I most nearly resembled those of bis unknown
mistress at the time he had seen her, and that he
( did not appear to make allowance for the years
[ that had passed siace his met that vision. This
was part of his madness. Strange power of
j love ! Incomprehensible mechanism of the hu
' man heart!
April Pools.— A French paper gives the
following ludicrous account of a trick played by
a wag upon the custom-house officers at C'bcr
bitrg :
He was seen driving a horse up one of thesis,
with a suspicious looking sack on its bark, and
I from time to time he tinned himself rm rid as if
to see whether he was pursued or not. The cu
| nosity of the custom house officers was soon ex
cited, and at length they judged that he must he
j a smuggler of the most formidable description.
Some of them commanded him to stop, but he on
ly drove Ills horse the faster, and on their coining
after him. he whipped the sack oil’ the anhmti’s
back, threw it on his own shoulders, and took to
h's heels.—This was too llagfhnt; so away went
a posse of offi. ers after him, and after dogging
him through several streets, for the fellow had a
stiff pair of heels, finally caught him in a store
keeper’s shop.—Here he refused to open bis sack,
being in a private house wi bout the presence of
a commissary—so the commissary was sent for.
the officers stood round in greedy antiripation, of
their capture, and the sack w T as opened—it was
full of hay.

EVANS’ FAMILY VEGETABLE APERIENT
ANTI-BILIUUS PILLS.
K oing composed of ingredients which exert a
specific action upon the heart, give an impulse or
strength to the arteral system ; the blood is quick
ened and equalized in its circulation through all
the vessels, whether of the skin, the parts situated
internally, or the extremities; and as all the se
cretions of the body arc drawn from the b ood
there is a consequent increase of every secretion,
and a quickened action of the absorbent and cxlia
lant or discharging vesse s; any morbid action
which may have taken place is removed, all ob
structions are overcome, the blood is purified, and
the body resumes a healthful state. TUe. circula
tion, that important function, was not known to
the great Cclsus, Galen, or Hippocrates ; therefore,
their deficiency of knowledge led them to extract
the vital fluid as a cmvative means; but upon the
principles of the circSlation of the blood, the prac
tice of bleeding is proved to be fallacious..

THESE MEDICINES

in a pure and healthy state, and cjnsequ-nlly
maintaining the I ody in the due perlormauces ol
its functions, cause it to last many years longer

that the great similarity between the noise occa
