If papers are sent to a post of fice, store, tavern, or other place, and are not taken by the person to whom they are sent, the postmaster, store or tavern keeper, &e., is responsible for the payment unless he ;iniuediately gives notice to the publisher that they are not taken from the office or plane where they are sent. Extract from the Post Office Regulatio..s, page 50, section 115: "In evory instamte in which papers that come to your office are not taken out by the person to whom they are sent, you will give immediate notice of it to the publisher,adding the reasons,if known, why the tapers are not taken out."

The old man, oppressed with the belief that his grand child had blown out his brains in a fit of pbrenzy, proceeded to the door with a vascillating step, and opening it with a tremulous hand, said, 'Whet in the world ,-bas produced this terrible explosion?'

APPOINTICENT.—We understand that the office of Military Storekeeper, at the Ar aenal, near Frankford, Pa. which was abol, 'shed shortly after General Harrison came into office, has been recently revived, and Mr. Th.,mvi A. Cooper, of Bristol, appoint ed. The former occupant of the situation, was Colonel Romfort. Numerous Whigs applied for the situation, some of whom won of excellent character, but as the of fice was to be abolished, and a saving to be made to the country, no complaint was made —U. S. Gas. Mr. Cooper, appointed to this office, i■ the celebrated tragedian, and father of the young lady who married .Ir. Bohan Tyler, the ['resident's son. He took a benefit at the Bowery Theatre. some six or seven years since, as a superannuated actor, and unfitted for any further . active duties of any sort. Ile is as he always has been a rather rabid loco fbco, though past the phy sical possibility of being n very 'active' one. It is quite true that the office waq abolished by Genera!

The work of arrangement must bo one of great difficulty, and it is quite probable that few if any copies will br ready till late in the approaching session of Congress. Still, from various sources we have been able to give much valuable information.

Scene time about the year 170, he was in this country, acting as agent for some of our truneatlantic posses: skins. The troubles bad already begun there. One day, he went before the privy council, as agent, with a petition from the assembly of Massachusetts; or, more care fully speaking one day,when a petition from the provincial assembly of Massachusetts Bay, already presented by him, was taken up, he was treated with, great indignity, in sulted, grossly abused by the solicitor gen eral Wedeiburne. He bore it without any sign of emotion. All eyes were upon him. No change or shadow of change went over his face. His friends were amazed at his forbearance. They wondered at his equan imity; they were almost ready to reproach him fur it. Such untimely self command could only proceed from indifference to the great cause, or, so they thought, from a strange moral insensibility. Or, his way from the place of humiliation, they gather. ed about him. He stopped, he stood still; hie manner, look, voice, were those of a man, who has quietly concentrated every thought and every hope under heaven, all his energies, upon a mingle point. , "His master shall pay for itl" said he, and pass ed on.

Finding however, that this country garb, thus chosen, thus worn, had been of no avail, as a refuge or shelter to him; that on the contrary, it had only made for him a better mark, and exasperating his adversary; that worse than all, his con siderate loyalty had been misunderstood, for a piece of dirty adulation, or worse yet, for a piece of wretched foppery;he went, on leaving the council, straight way home; threw the dress aside, and, from that hour, never wore it a Azain, till the day on which he went with full power into the court of the Bourbons, to sign Me treaty between France and America—the United States of America I W hat, must have been his feel ings I That paper gave the death blow to British dominion over the western world.

'Lovis.—The New Era estimates the number of bricks mmde in St. Louis during the year 1841, at 30 millions, all of which were used in building in thnt city. In the Slave holding States, viz: Mary land, Virginia, North Carolina, South Car olina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou isiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, issouri, Ar kansas, Florida Territory, and District of Columbia, there is an excess of 126,685 males. The total in these States 7,255, 559, viz. 3,691,122 males and 3,564,437 females. In Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Dietrict of Columbia, howev er, the females are in excess. It seems that the District of Columbia, furnishes the largest proportion of females, viz: 114,98 to 100 males, and Wisconsin Territory the smallest; viz: 64,05 to 100. In the States of New Nampehire, Mas sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and District of Columbia there Is an excess of 39, 804 females. The exams of males in the United Slates is 301,716. The new er States have, generally, the smallest pro portion of females, and the New England States the largest, caused, probably, by emigration. The whole colored population amounts to 2,873,459; or melee 1,432,875. females 1,440,593; or in the proportion of 100 males to 100,53 females; being considera bly above the average of the white popula tion, which, a• we have shown, is 100 to 96,52. The excess of females is 7,709. The District of Columbia furnishes the largest proportion, viz: 136,89 females to 100 males. Rhode Island gives 129,31, and New Hampshire 110,03. Michigan has the amallest proportion, viz: 97,49. But enough for to day We may com• pile one or two articles upon the same sub je•ct when we obtain the census complete from Washington.

By nature perhaps, like George' Wash. inglon, whose character, by the war, is greatly misunderstood, he was a man of strong passions, which, after many years, by continual guardianship, trial, and severe discipline, ho had brought entirely under his contro I. This, we say positively, was the character of Washington: this, we be lieve to have been the character of Frank lin. DtMOVALIZING EFFECTS Or LOCOFOCO . tsar.—During the years that Locofoeoism ran riot among the political and financial institutions oft his country., the increase of crime was truly fi ight.-01. Nor, although the Nati:mal Administration has been changed, is the baneful influenco of Lo eefocoism yet at end. Defalcations and peculationa are &fly being developed which wire commenced in the palmy days of Locofocoism, when every offic - er of the Government, as well as those moneyed in stitutions which were under the control of Locofocos, thrust their arms, elbow-deep, into the treaqure of the nation, or of indi qiduals, as the case might have been.— Robberiss, to use plain language, unparal holed in number and amount and which will justly entitle the reign of Locolocoism in this country to be designated in after years as the 'age of theft.' So_clarustve has been the spread of this demoralizing influence, that there is hard. ly a city or a town in the Union that cannot point to several instances to which we re• for, committed by our own citizens. It seems indeed, as it the genius of peculation had stalked through the wholo length and breadth of the land, and made proselytes at every step. In the Post Offices alone, there were found by the present Administration to be more than three thousand Locofeco Postmasters defaulters, and the number nf defaulters in other branches of the public service as proportionably largrt In the In dian department and Land Offices particu larly so—to say nothing of the great poc uletions of those who took the lead in this robbery of the people, by marching off with Iwo or three hundred thousand dollars a piece. It was the deep impression made by the corruption and dishonesty attics late Ad ministration of public affairs, that, more than other causes, produced on the minds of the People the con% iction that a change of rulers was necessary; and they according ly rose in their might and effected such a. change. But to enable the People at large, and the national affairs, to derive any per. maneut advantages from this change of ru• lere, it must be perpetrated through a con• siderable period. The evils which the Le cofocoe were twelve years in effecting, can not be remedied in a day. Time is neces sary to restore the country to its former respectability . and prosperity. Hence the necessity, therefore, that exists, and that will continue to exist for years to come, of active and energetic measures—of perfect and efficient organization on the part of the friends of the Constitution, for the great purpose of preserving the country from a gain falling' into the hands of its spoilers. To effect this important object should be considered by every true Whig as the most sacred duty, and paramount to every other earthly consideration.-- Cone. Courant. 1,367.672 1,724,033 84,203 81,135 WHIT enouLn TIIGY Da --As the Lo cofoco party has a majority of about 30 in the State Legislature, it is to be hoped that some of the good which that party ev er promises, may he done for the people at the next session. As for the white it is to be hoped that they will not thrust them selves forward. Let them rememberthat the destinies of the State have been placed, for a season, in the hands of their political opponents, who have gained power by pled ging themselves to do certain things. As the people, or a majority of them who vo ted have given them power, the only way in which the truth of their promises can be tested, is by their acts. Let them act then. Let their measures of reform come fairly before the people. Their past man agement has added greatly to the atate debt, and state expenditures. Now they have a chance to redeem themselves in some mea sure, by bconomy,and an honest administra tion of public affairs. Governor Porter having no re•election to secure, his actions will not be subjected to that pernicious In fluence. Let the Banking institutions come fairly up to the bar for a locofoco sen tence—let public credit and State faith be also submitted to the same tribunal, in order that the people pan have a fair and impar tial understanding of those principles, which , Barn burning and conservative' Locofocon have all declared to be purely 'democratic.' Let the motley majority rule, and at the same time take the responsibility.—Becks co. LONE AT TlllB!—The following state• went comes from an article in the Boston Atlas, by n Lynn shoemaker. It level• apes facts which few knew of or suspected before• Does it not appeal most forcibly to our worthy American mechanics, to take immediate end proper measures for the' protection of their interests? Will they be nny longer led by the nose by the dem. agogues who oppose a tariff' of protection, and let England, France and Germany rob them of their means of subsistence. Look at the great increase of the importation of boots and shoes from foreign countries,con. serpent upon the reduction of duties, and then consider whether we wruld not be lab'ring under the greatest delusion in per- mitting a continuance of such a state - of things: The quantity of boots fairly entered from France, last year, was 16,849. pairs, besides those from other countries, which is an increase of sixteen hundred per cent. to eight years; and the custom is daily be coming more common, for gentlemen to send out their measure, ai.d order directly from the manufacturer. Owing to this, Forr's boots aro now as well known in New York and Boston as in Pari9. Of ladies' shops the quantity imported last year was 72,435 pairs, which is an in• crease of more than four hundred per cent in eight years. In this, we make no calcu• lation for those brought into the country in other ways than through the custom house, which, as they are not bulky is no doubt very large.

Equiv.—Reasons why the people of the United Status, especially the farmers, should engage in the business °full!: grow ing. Ist. Because silks form the heaviest item in the eatalogut: of our exportations. 2d. Because we possess the meats of do ing it to better advantage than any other nation. 3d. Because the nece:•sary skill is easily acquired, and no nation ever posstssed bet ter talents to acquire it. 4th. Because the nation is under heavy embarrassments on account of excessive importations, and no other moans nre an sure of success in providing the necessary relief. sth. Because it can be clrectudlly r ngn ged in by nll quests ut people, requiring little or no capital. 6th. Because we have more spare land than any other nation, and much well suit. od to the growth of mulberry, which IS worn out for other purposes. 7th. Because we are already stocked with the mu:berry trees, which will be lost to the notion if not used for that purpose. Bth. Because a stock of silk worms may he obtained the first year, equal to what could be reared of any other live stock in a great portion of a life limo. 9th.• Because raw silk or cocoons are al ways surer of sale than almost any other commodity. 10th. Because it is n very certain crop. 11th. Because a pound audit worth six dollars can be grown in loss time than a pound of wool worth fifty cents. 12th. Because it will cost no more to transport n pound of silk to market worth six dollars than a pound of breadstuff or pork worth six or eight cents. 13th. Because the labor of growing a crop of silk requires only six or seven weeks, while that of almost any farming crop requires more than as many months. 14th. Bileause mast of the labor will be performed by women, children or invalids —who are unable to perform other profita ble labor. 16th. Because there are hundreds, if not thousands of skilful silk manufacturers in the country who are unable to find regular employment for want of raw silk. IRth. Because the growing and manu facture of silk bee never failed to be a source of wealth to any nation which em• barked in it. 17th. Because the Legislature of our State, having observed and duly weighed all the foregoing reasons have wisely of. fered a liberal bounty for its encourage. ment. 18th. Because the American Institute with a liberality which speaks yolumes to its everlasting credit, has offered, for the encouragement of: literature as we II as this most eminent branch of industry, a premi um of fifty dollars and a gold medal for the best silk reel. The person who would not bo stimulated to exertion by such reasons and liberal of fen of reward must be sordid indeed.

The barberous law must be repealed—it is a crying disgrace to the State. Ws are glad, however, to have it in our power to say, that this shocking cruelty will not be inflicted in this Instance, as we understand the Governor has interposed his clemency, and pardoned horns to the corporal punish ment. With this view the court interceded in her favor, all the members of the bar, the officers of the court, the prosecuting witnesses, and hundreds of others petitioned in her behalf, and his excellency readily se ceded to their wishes. So she will go un punished." THE NATIONAL MOT OF ENGLAND.- The Madisoninn contains an elaborate arti cle upon this subject, derived from the best bources. From it we learn thut the first American war increased the National Debt of Great Britain about £120,000,000. At the commencement of the' French war, 1793, the debt of England wag £239 350,- 148.

Since the pence, the debt hes been dimin lobed £04,009,000 by a fall of interest; as the government offered to pay the holders of stock, if they refused to receive a re duced payment. Thia national debt of England now amounts to (64,009,000,000) FOUR THOUSAND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!! At three per cent, interest this sum requires for interest about ono hundred and - twenty millions of dollars an • ninny. The interest on this debt may con tinue long .to be paid; the capital never can be. A BALL DnEss.—Tho Boston Post, in describing some of the dresses at the Prince do Juinville Ball, says that the Countess A merican Vespuccia was, per- s haps, as fine looking a woman as any in the hall• Her dress Was of rich claret colored velvet, trimmed with gold, and on her head she wore a Grecian cop, also of gold.

DAGEWREOTYPING CAIUMALS. — When a discovery has been made in science there is no telling at the time to what useful pur. poses it may afterwards be applied. The beautiful process invented by Daguerre, of painting wit:i sunbeams, has been recently applied to aid the police in suppressing crime. When any suspicious person or criminal is arrested in Franco, the officers have him immediately daguerreotyped and he likewise is placed in the criminal cabin• et for future reference. The rogues, to defeat this object, resort to contortions of the visage and horrible grimaces. IMPEACIIMENT OF A JUDGE.-A I the meeting of the Legislature of South Caro. line, on the 24th instant, Mr. Dudls , , mem ber from Marlborough, introduced a resolu tion imoreaching Judge It. S. Gantt, of incompetence to discharge the high duties of his cfrice. After much discussion, the matter we. laid over to the following day. Intemperance is said to he the' cause of the Judge's incompetency. ...or* • ...a... AN AI=3IE:NT FOR BACHELORS.-A Mr. Morsell,-who WEB in the habit ofaleep_ ing in his store, at Dayton, Ohto, left it one night to get married. In his absence it was robbed of a large amount of jewelry. This is a pretty good argument for bache- lors, who seize hold of anything of the kind that will apparently justify their conduct. AN ELDER ARRESTED•—NO little com motion was raised in one of the churches in Providence last weak, by an Incident in which Elder Knapp, a preacher of some cdebrity, and the Sheriff of the county were the principal actors. Mr. Knapp, appears, in the course of some of hie tier• mons took occasion to make 'sr :no severe remarks against the Univerealists; and in reply to a question which he made, a lady , rose and answered I At subsequent meat. ings he made some remarks derogatory to tho character of the lady and her whole • family, the particulars of which are not eta ted, but the consequence was an action for slander, the damages being laid at $lO 000. The Sheriff was ordered peremptorily to serve the writ, and oa. Tuesday night be went to the church where Mr. Knapp was holding forth, and took a seat, with the in tention of serving it after the close of the services. The fact, however, becoming generally known, great confusion ensued, in the course of which the Sheriff was call ed forward and addressed the crowd, in• forming thorn that he should prosecute any who were guilty of creating a disturbance. This restored quiet, and in the meantime Mr. Knapp left the church and repaired to his hording house, whore the writ was of te r wet de served,t wo of his frieude becoming bail. Tun CIIALLENOII ACM/TEM.—The fol• lowing te published in the New .

FRAUDULENT VUTINO.-A Mr. Troxell was tried and convicted last weak in the Court of Washington county, Md. of hav ing voted twice at the Presidential election, at Hancock polls, in 11140. This being the first vise of the kind over tried in this Court, the Judge was rather lenient with the offender, imposing upon him a fine of only fifteen dollars, and imprisonment in the county jail for a period of five days. FATAL DUELS AT NEW ORLEANS.—We regret, says the New Orleans Bee, of the 19th, to record two more victims at the shrine of the insatiable Moloch of duelling. Yesterday, encounters took place between four gentlemen of this city—all of them highly respectable and honorable., In both instances the result was fatal. The wea pons used were, we understand, small swards. Two of the combatants were well known members of the mercantile commu nity. Can neither reason nor law arrest these miscalled "affairs of honor?" .ARREST FOR MunnEß.—The Bedford (Pa) Enquirer says:—Two persons, named Goodin and Fessler, were committell•to our prison last evening on charge of having murdered a man in Well's Valley, about two years since. Goodin, we understand, confesses his guilt and implicates Fessler. It takes a Yankee to do a cute thing. says the Boston Transcript. The duties on collie, by the new British tnriff for the pro vince,a, are on green coffee 2d per lb. ground coffee 4d.

GOOD MD MAP.—WO have before us SI map of Pennsylvania, engraved in 1770, done by Mr. Scull, and humbly , dedicated to the Honorable Thomas Penn and Rich and Penn, true and absolute Proprietors and Governors, dtc. The map is not en remarkable for its age, as for the excellen cy of the engraving, and then too what a difference in the face ?if things. In those days, Northampton county included all the northeastern section of the State, east of Berks and Bucks counties. Burks extend ed northwest from Philadelphia county to the New York line. Chester then included Delaware. Lanceater extended from Berke to York, and Cumberland included all west of Lancaster. Things have changed since that time. Men have increased, multiplied, and replenished the land. We notice that coal is marked upon the map in the neigh borhood of what is now Pottsville, end In dian paths run where rail roads have since been made.—/r. S.

DON'T Lint Cortmntitgar.—Last week a prisoner by the name of Brant attempted to escape from the Westmoreland county (Pa.) jail by setting it on fire. The jailer arose in the night by accident, and discov ered the fire, or else the whole might have been consumed.- This is the third time that this desperadefhas been on the . eve of escaping. A RECONCILIATION.—The good people of Townsend, Mass., who elected a colored man as their representative, and intended to elect him again in consequence of there being some informality in the proceedings. have thought better of the matter and con cluded not to elect him at all. ANOTHER iNVENTION.—Some New Jer sey genius, has been manufacturing indigo, out of plaster of Paris and rye flour colored with Prussian blue. It is said to be far superior to the wooden nutmeg invention, though the contriver seems to be modest in his pretensions and has not yet applied for a patent. Macon Arum in Jan.—This notori one person is aaain in jail, not for boasting of having Con ted a murder, but for not et paryittg his de s. He was formerly depu ty shetiff. His bondsmen have been oblig ed to pay large sums on account of his official defalCations.. On hie return to Ni agara, he was arrested on civil processomd for want of bail is now cor.fined in a Diutish prison. ARE WU rW CONNRCTICET7—The rail road train run off the track, near Norwich, the other day. A gentleman, accompani ed by a female friend, jumped fronr the . care, asking—" Are we in Connecticutl" Some of the passengers inramed them that they were, when they hastened off to a Justice of the Peace, and. were Jnited in the holy bonds of wedlock. They soon re turned, took their seats in the cars, and pursued their journey, apparently not much displeaerd• that the care had run off the track. A YANKEE WHIG GOVFAMOTI.-A late number of the London Courier contains the following extract of a letter from an English gentleman travelling in America: PI am traveling in Vermont for pleasure and tufo/matron. .1 have journeyed 500 miles in my own carriage, and have not seen a person in my progress to whom 1 should have dared to cflin- alms!

DEBTS OF CITIES. — The States are not alone in their indebtednes, as appears from the folloWing table which we have taken the trouble to collect. The population of Philadelphia is only the population of the city proper.

Mr. Burrit though he has regularly worked at his trade, of blacksmithing since he was a boy, has acquired a knowledge of fortyetght differ ent languages! Tim [Amts.—The Detroit Advertiser says: "There is no little alarm felt along the Lakes because of the great fall of we ter which has been for a yenr or two and still is in progress. Since 1830 the water in our river, has fallen more then three feet, and it is still two feet higher than it was in 1820. In that year it was a frac tion over six feet lower than it had previ ously been. Should it now go down to the low mark which it reached in 1820, tt will be impossible for any of the large boats to pass over the St. Clair flats heavily laden. Indeed, it was sometimes impossible for them to do so, the present season. It is not strange, therefore, that considerable anxie ty is felt upon this subject. Nor will Buffalo be any better ofT.— Should the water reach the lowest mark, the bed of the canal at that point would be above the level of the Lakes! Already navigation had been interrupted, from the fact that the low state of the water does not fill the channel of the canal. That evil, however, can be remedied by digging; but it would take a long time and a great deal of money, to dig a ebannel through the St. Clair flats." A NUT FOR THE SUPERSTITIOUS iS giv en in the New Orleans Crescent, upon the sacred honor of one of the most respected citizens of that city, in a story of which the following is the substance. On the morn ing of the 23d of September last, about two o'clock in the morning, Monsieur de C-- a merchant of Bourbon street,New Orleans, but at that time in Paris, was awakened from an uneasy slumber by the rustling of the curtains or Lis couch. He felt a cold hand press upon his own, and fancied that he heard a voice which ho recognised as his son's, say, "Father! lam dying!" So decided an impression had this presenti ment' upon his mind, that he immediately got up and noted down the circumstance, and the precise time it took place. Two weeks atter this occurrence he was on his voyage to New Orleans, and a few days aco he arrived there. His first inquiry was—"%V here, and how is my sonrt "He is dead and in his grave," was the answer. After the poignancy of his grief had subided, he detailed to a friend in whose arms his son had died, an account of his strange presentiment, when, to his great astonishment, his friend told him, that his son died on the 23d of September lost, at two o'clock in the morning and that the Inst words ko uttered were, "Father! I am dying!" The trial of Mrs. Collins, mnther•io•law of Breddee, the mail robber, indicted for being concerned in the depredations upon the mail, was had last week, in the United States Court at Pittsburgh. The jury stood six to six, declaring their inebil ity to render a verdict. Mrs. C. was bound over in the sum of $2OOO for anoth er trial at the next term. A DOPERATZ RUFFIAN, named Yon kum, the head of a gang in Texas named theNonhum gang, has been recently pun ished with death according to the fashion of some portions of that country and of the United States, that is the lynch process.— Onyle very eve of committing a horrible deed, he was discovered by a party of citi zens and shot together with two of his comrades. This wan was a rich planter in Texas, owned more than a hundred ye gross, and large tracts of land, and had a large revenue coming in from various sour ces. He was in fact the richest man in all Texas. Yet he could not forego the pleas ure to him ef rap;ne and murder. One of his gang who was caught alive, detailed to his captor a most horrid catalogue of crimes. A Durm—A duel with rifles took place on Saturday last at Bladensburg, between Mr. Anthony Hamilton and :Hr. Robert Green, of New York, which the Baltimore Sun says grew out of the supposed infidelity or Mrs. H. Hamilton, who it .appeats had been absent in Europe for some length of time, had some reason to suspect Green of the seduction of his wife, and charged him with it. They, met, as ag reed , on Satur day, and either because th e rifles were not loaded, or the marksmen ware no shots, no blood was spilt. But one shot was agreed upon, and Green's rifle having missed fire, the parties were withdrawn by their sec onds. The Sun says the seconds had a greed to hoax the parties. and have a jaunt at their expense. When they reached Baltimore the matter leaked out, and the seconds bed to flee for fear of the wrath of Hamilton, who swore like a Flemish Major. .lERIAL FLICIIT.—The greatest exploit of travel ever made on this side of the at. lantic—or the other either, for aught we know—was performed by Mr. Clayton, the celebrated aeronaut. He started from Cm. cinnatt in a balloon, and travelled thence to the Allegheny Mountains a diatauce of three hundred and fifty miles, in nine and a half hours! TOLL FOR STAGES CARRYING. TILE UN'.

The defence eet up was that the mail bking the property of the United States, the vehicle transporting .

Thcy generally brive time to attend pub lic burbecues, • • • * sales, and singing schools, but they have no time to read. They frequently spend whole days in gossipping, tipling, and saving horses, but they have 'no time read.' They sometimes loose a day asking ad vice of their neighbors; sometimes a day in picking up the new 4, the price current, and the exchange, but these men never have 'time to read.' They have time to hunt, to fish, to fiddle, to drink, to—do 'nothing,' but 'no time to read.' Such men generally have uneducated children, unimproved farms, and unhappy fire•sides. They have no energy, no spir it of improvement , no love of knowledge; they live 'unknowing and unknown,' and often die unwept and uoregretted. CLOSING SCENES op LIFE.--The last words of Mr. Jefrerenn, who died just India century after the the passage of his immor tal Declaration et Independence, were 6 1 resign my soul to God, and my daughter to my country." The dying words of John Adams, on the same day, were still more characteristic of the man. A few minutes before he died, being roused by the firing of a cannon, and told that his neighbors were rejoicing for the 4th of July, he ex claimed, "it se a great and glorious day!" and expired with the words, "Independence forever!" on his lips. President Monroe also died on the morning of our National Independence. When the firing began at midnight, ho opened hie eyes inquiringly, and when the cause was communica ted to him, a cheerful intelligent smile in dicated that he understood what the occa sion was, although speechless.
