Ah Excess of Jewellery.
The following remarks lrom the Philadelphia Bui- 1
letinjwe publish without endorsement. We agree j
with the writer in his preference of simplicity over os- j
tentation, but we cannot fully subscribe to his views,
which we think are rather ultra; at least in expres- j
sion. We feel a delicacy too, in Intruding our re
marks upon the gentler sex, who as a general rule,
are not tar wrong in their notions of what is, and is j
not bosoming. Wo have always thought however, ■
that beauty must be of a high order, to bear the radi. j
ance of many brilliants, and painful contrast is too ,
often the only object upon which their light shines.
We publish it, as much as any thing else, because
we know the ladies will rend it; if they don’t agree*
let them have their “ own sweet will’’say we,
“ A correspondent of the New York Tribune wri
ting lrom Newport. It. I. very properly censures the *
practice in which he says the ladies there indulge, of i
wearing enormous diamond ring# at morningcalis or j
on the otjcasiou of evening parties. Newport, we
fear, is not the only place where this fashion is car
ried to exce**. Os lute years the wearing of jewel :ery
in season and out of season, both by matrons and
unmarried females, has increased vastly in the United
States. It is an indication that the growing wealth of
the people is not accompanied by a corresponding
refinement; but that the love of vulgar show, the
low pride of ostentation takes the place of a pure
and elevated taste. If a gentleman of the old school
were to come to life, and visit the opera on a bene
fit night, or be present at a fashionable party, he
would think he had strayed among pawnbroker’s ,
wives and daughters, until lie was informed of the
truth. The emulation with fashionable dames now
a days, so tar from being, as wore the Spartan wo
men. to excel each other in houses hold virtues, is
to wear the largest diamonds. And in this ambition
they forget fitness, beauty, taste, everything but the
mere vulgar desire to shine. To be graceiully and
elegantly attired, in short, is secondary to the de
sire to be a sort of jewellers walking show-card.
Wo do not oppose the use of diamonds and pearls
altogether, as some persons might imagine from
the remarks. A few diamonds, judiciously worn,
look well, on proper occasions, on married women.
But young girls rarely, oriMcr improve their ap
pearance by the use of tho||Mitzziiug jewels ; and,
as a general rule, the simpjffrliie costume of a wo
man in her teens the better.—American females
are usually pretty, up to the aye ol twenty, when
they mostly begin to fade. Consequently* at this
period of life, there whom elaborate nt
ure does not jnjure; a .simple white dress, or a rose
bud in the huh, is frequently all that is required;
and more only spoils that combination ol youtfiful
ue9B, grace and modesty, which it should be the
highest ambition of the girl to attain, because, if she
did but know it, it as her highest charm. Instead of
this, however, we see gay females, scarcely freed
lrom the nursey, wearing enormous jewelled ear
drops, or sporting on the finger a diamond ring as
large as a quarter of a dollar. Sometimes, too, la
dies pretending to be well-bred *deseend to receive
inoruimi visitors ol their own sex, glittering, like a
jeweller’s case, with all sorts of costily gems. In
all this, we repeat, there is neither refinement, nor
elegance, but simply vulgar ostentation. Female
dress has ceased to Do a means of beautifying the
person, or displaying the wearer's taste, and has be
come instead a mere brag of the husband’s or father's
wealth. We are tick of the low bred fashion.
.Sir William Joliiimoii.
The following spirited sketch of one ol the most
celebrated European characters that figure in the
Indian history ot New York, is from a recent “ His
tory of the Conspiracy of Potinac,” by Francis
I* ark man, Jr.— Albany Knickerbocker.
About the year 1734, in consequence, it is said, of
the unhappy issue of a love afiair, William John
son, a young Irishman, came over to America at the
age ol nineteen, where he assumed the charge of an
extensive tract A wild land, in the province of New
York, belong to his uncle, Admiral Sir Peter War
ren. Settling in the valley of the Mokawk, he car
ried on a prosperous trallic with the Indians; and
while he rapidly rose to wealth, lie gained at the
same time an extraordinary intluence over the
neighboring Iroquois. As his resource increased,
he built two mansions in the valley, known respect
ively by the names of Johnson Castle and Johnson
llall, the latter of which a well constructed build
ing of wood and stone, is still stnnding in the village
of Johnstown. Johnson Castle was situated at some
distance up the river. Both were fortified against
attack, and the latter was surrounded with cab
ins built tor the reception of Indians,who often came
in crowd* tovistthe pi oprietor invading his dwelling
at all unseasonable hours, loitering in the doorways
spreading their blankets in the passages, and infect
ing the air with the fume ot stale tobacco.
Johnson supplied the placed’ his former love by
a young Dutch damsel who bore him several chil
dren ; and in justice to the latter, he married her on
her death bed. Soon after he found another favor
ite in the person of Molly Brant, sister of the cele
brated Mohawk war chief, whose black eyes and
laughing face caught iiis fancy, ns Buttering with
ribbons siie galloped past him at a muster ol the Ty
ron County militia.
Johnson's importance became so conspicuous.that
when the French war broke out in 17.3.3, he was
made a major general ; and soon after, the colonial
troops under his command gained the battle ot
Lake George against the French forces ot Baron
Dieskau. lor this success, for which, however, the
commander was entitled to little credit, he was ra s
ed to the rank of baronet and rewarded with the
gift of five thousand pounds from the king. About
this time he was appointed superintendent of Indian
afl'airs for the northern tribes, a station in which he
did signal service to the country. In 1759, when
General Piideaux was killed by ttie bursting of a
cannon in the trench belore Niagara, Johnson suc
ceeded to his command, routed the French in
another pitched battle, and soon raised the red cross
ol England on the conquered rampart of the fort.
Atter the peace ol 17ti3. he lived for many years at
Johnsons Hall constantly enriched t>y tne increasing
value of his estate, and surrounded by a hardy High
land tenantry,devoted to his imterests; but when the
tempest which had long been drawing near seemed
about to breakpuid signs of a speedy rupture with the
mother country thickened with every day, lie stood
wavering in an agony ot indecision divided between
his loyalty to the sovereign who was the source of
ail his honors, reluctant to become an agent of a
murderous Indian warfare against his countrymen
and friends. His final resolution wus never taken.—
lu the summer f 17G4, he was attacked with a sud
den illness, and died within a few hours, in the six
tieth year of his age, hurried to the graveby mental
distress, or, as many belie ed, by the act of his own
hand.
Nature had well fitted him lor tin position in which
his prcpitious stars hud cast his lot. His person was
tall, eit-ct and strong; his features grave and manly,
Hisdireet and upright dealings,hiscourage,eloquence
and address, were sUre p iss-ports to lavor in Indian
eyes. He hada s'ngulur facility of adaptation. In
the cainp or at the council board, in spite of his de
fective \ (iuciitiuii, he bore liimsuitdis became his po
sition; but at home he was seen drinking flip aud
aceo with tin- Dutch boors,nis neighbors,
talking ot improv. meats or the price of beuver skins
and in the linlian villages be would least on dog’s
flesh, talk with the warriors, ana hamngue ins at
tentive >iuditors with ail the dignity of an Iroquois
sachem. Distemper was genial; he encouraged rus
tic port, and was respected and belved alike by
whites ftud.iudians! His good qualities, however,
wi re al. wnli serious defects. liis mind was
a coarse as it was vigorous. He was vain of his
milk and influence ami being quite free from any

] “A Stitch in Time.”— Those rustic cast-iron
I tees at the Park, are not ” the thing” we fear. We
saw uuo yestoaday completely dislocated and torn
j limb from limb. We do not know how severe the
treatment was which produced this effect, but we
think it must have been rude indeed. Several settees
are cracked here and there, but the one to which we
refer is completely dismantled, the screws having
failed to do thtirdnty. Query—when those settees
get rusty, would it improve a line silk to set there
on —how also would it be with coat tails We shall
E3TJ“ our notice of the street-crossings onThurs ;
day, we omitted anew and prominent feature which
had nut then presented itself; the novelty may be
9ecn near the intersection of Burnard and South
Broad-streets, (where Barnard conies in lrom the
South) in the uptown crossing. It is anew species
of stieet-obstecle, nor do we know iu what genus to
place it—it is to pedestrians, what an upturned rail
is to a car, a sort of “ snake-head”; and while it
remains in its presentcondition, it may be considered
a good friend to cobblers, and the disciples of Crispin-
One end of the plank to which we a lude has dis
dained the ground and aspires to tiie height of some
four or fivo inches. Any grm’h “nan desiring a sore
toe, or any lady who is not exactly pleased with her
last new bootees, and is in want of a plea for anew
pair, may’ obtain the object of their wishes at short
notice. They have but to stroll carelessly over the
crossing in question and the thing is done. In our
evening-walk yesterday we saw an urchin make a
sudden pause just after passing the ana ke-head,clap
his hand to his foot, in evident haste, and we conjec
tured from thenoise that followed these operations
that he had lost a nail, a toe, or something of that
sort, though we cannot affirm it. This thing should
b a put down.
£jgpThe following bitter commentary upon the
Newspaper credit system, is taken from the Nation
al Intelligencer of the lOih inst. It is notin this
regard however, that we call attention to it It reads
as follows :
“ It may be interesting to our readers in the South
to know that the ‘ Southern Press,’ hitherto pub
lished daily in this city, has ceased to exist. It
breathed its last yesterday in a plaintive valedictory,
from which we learn that its untimely end is to be
attributed to the failure of its friends to contribute
to its support as promised, or even to pay up the
sums due upon their subscriptions.”
Hud such a thing as this come lrom many papers
we could name, we should not have noticed it—but
it is beneath the dignity of the National Intelligencer.
It manifests a cowardly spirit, a dastardly revenge,
and a despicable meanness. The laws of honor for
bid the striking of a fallen foe, and common humani
ty would check the desecrating hand at the grave of
the fiercest enemy. You may talk about the corrup
tions of wealth, and the ruinous work of the bottle,
and the blighting influences of bud associates, but if
you wish to degrade a man from his high estate, and
sink him into the brute, give him party-spirit with
license. We remember the time when the Intelli
gencer would sooner have stooped to highway rob
bery than to such craven conduct as this. We never
read the Southern Press ; we only know it wns an
ultra Southern paper—we believe it has done some
harm and some good, but in this matter it claims
more of our sympathy and respect than the Intelli
gencer ever can. Ol lempora l O l mores'.
igs* The American Association, for the advance,
ment ot education was to meet at Newai k, N. J., on
the 10th. Bishop Potter is President, and among its
members are to be found the names of the first men
in the country. The history of the association is as
follows from the Public Ledger, Philadelphia.
“ This association held its first meeting in Philadel
phiain 1849. It was composed of gentlemen from,
different parts of the United States, and from the
British Provinces. A resolution was then adopted
that a permanent Association for the advancement
of Education should bejorgani/.ed and that meetings
should be held annually in different part of North
America. The Convention assembled a second time
in Philadelphia, on the 26th of August. 1850, and was
adopted, o and officers Were duly appointed. The
tli ii and session of the Convention began in Cleveland.
Ohio, on the 19th day ot August, 18ol,,and continued
four days.
The present meeting promises to be highly usefu
and interesting; success to it, end all kindred associ
ations.

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin as it is,” is the * tie of a

and if it is a ‘spec,” we shall not increase the sale of
it knowingly. In the outset wc regretted t o see its
announcement—silent contempt is a poor subterfuge
we know in some cases —dull wits often get behind
it when they have nothing more to say, but in the
present matter we would consider it the very best
answer that could be made to Miss Stowe. Her book
has fulfilled its manifest destiny, (filling fi ll her
pockets) and we had hoped it would be left to the
ravages of time, and inevitable deeay to get its an

to erect posts in that city to sustain a tube of gutta

different cities of the Union. We have long thought
this a feasible mode of telegraphing, and a day or
two siuce intended to invite the discussion of the
subject in our columns. The human voice can be,
heard at a great distance when conveyed by a good
conductor. Whispering galleries are proofs of this
and the ease with which persons converse across
a rfver is another. In the open air. unprovided with
anunusual conductor it maybe heard at some distance,
though illimitable space soon exhausts its vibrations
Now, 1 suppose the immense volume of a*r through
which these vibrations are felt anil are distinguisha
able, could be drawn out into a tube of half an inch
in diameter, would not that tube be long enough for
all practical purposes? We believe that it would.—
The only opportunity we have ever had of testing T
was through a J inch metal tube, 115 feet long. I*
was coiled up; and the faintest scratch of a pin could
he heard by applying the car to the opposite end o 1
the tube, though it was not heard by the bystanders
at the end whence the sound proceeded. It really
seemed to us that the sound was increased the far
ther it travelled. The only satisfactory test (if this
question is actual experiment. We hope it will soon
be solved, but in the meantime we should be happy
to hear from cither side of the question in a com mu .

Dis ci, iti ‘ ms, at tlu? r- si'enceof Mrs. Sarah H.
Harris, on t.t: lid in.-t., Sarah 11., eldest daughter of
James M. and J>ne V. Smythe of Augusm, Ga.
Thus lias been cut off, in the full bloom of her
youth and hrnuty. mi object of ilus fond stlo*e and
devotion of her t .rcnmi parents and relatives, and
‘■d''the warmfiienudhip and esteem of numerous ac
quaintances.
Language cannot tell how, as a child and sister, in
the sweet circle of home, she tenderly touched trio
strings ot love by htr gentle manners, her kind at
tentions, her rich and warm affections. She seemed
to be a guidin<Mtar of happiness in that domestic
circle now so de-.ply afflicted by her irreparable loss .
Ah ! none can row she will be* missed in that
home ol which no Was so dear a member. Gener
ous and noble-hearted, gitted andgn ctfulshe adorn
ed lilt* by her bright and useful example. But alas !
this lovely flower has faded from our sight and now
sleeps in the silence and riantness of toe grave. But
it is n glorious consolation to her relatives and
iriends to know that she was not afraid to die, and
to believe, from her declarations of love for, an doom
fideuce and trust in her , God and Saviour, that she
is now a sweet angei in Heaven, Thus she resigned
her life and spirit alter along and painful illness of
six months, which she bore without a murmur.
A short time before she became too wtak to leave
her bud, she seated h. rsolfattlio piano and played
the aii of “Then you 11 remember no ‘ Never will
those present forget the ca’*n, lovely expression v.f.
her pale face, and the soft and gentle touch of the in
strument with her beautiful and attenuated fingers.
She had a meaning in the selection ol that song.
And now, dear Angel Spirit, in saying farewell tfll
we shall join thee, as we hope, never more to sepa
rate. in the morning and in the evening hour, while
memory lasts, those for whom you meant it, fondly
respond :—We 11 remember thee—-we’ll remember
thee.” ***.
