but consider it in every respect propor that
we should say a word upon a matter of such
local interest as our SennturiLl representa

and it becomes nur people to put forth men
who, by their talents and character shall
serve us ably, and give us in our Legislative
halls that standing which, as the first coon
, tv in the state, we should properly assume.
We personally know none of the citizens so
' lieiting the nomination for the above office,
excepting Bartram A. Shaeffer, lin t ., of
Lancaster, whose intimate business connec
tion with our place inaltcs him almost. a Co

us that any laudatory remarks from us
' would be entirely supeliluous. Asa person
'al friend, howen.er, of Mr. Shaeffer, we de
sire to do all in our power towards securing
the nomination of a gentlem,in of whose
character urine ran speak ill, and against
the integrity and ability of whose previous
Legislative eareer there has Lever been a
whisper. While we should be actuated first
by the honmable eouuty pride which would

Jon S. Mc3l.l.Etos . , of this place.
In recording the death of this well known
and most highly esteemed Cokm:Wan, we
cannot but exceed the brief formality of a
mere announcement of the melancholy
event, and indulge our grief An a respectful
tribute to the many virtues ef the lamented
deceased. Of his life previous to his ap
pearance in our town we can say nothing,
but from the moment of his entrance into
society (the first society) here, a few years
since, he took his place as a public favorite.
his gentle disposition endeared him to his
female acquaintances, while his unflagging
willingness to go any length fur a friend.
made him equally popular with the many
gentlemen with whom he was brought into
intimate companionship. He was intro
duced into our borough by Mr. Fetterly, but
! later became connected in business with
) James S. McMahon, Esq., whose name he
bore. During the prevalence of that terrific
scourge, the cholera, in our midst, the sub
ject.
of this brief memoir would, doubtless,
have been among the mo3t acme in minis
tering to the wants of the afflicted, but that
he had not at that time become a resident
, of Columbia.
For several weeks previous to his melan
choly demise he had been luxuriating and
recruiting at the pleasant watering place,
Ephrata; whence he had only returned on
Saturday evening, looking in excellent
health and condition. Oa Sunday morning
he went, in company with several eminently
respectable colored friend., to attend a large
religious assembly at "Centre," vulgarly
known as "l'inch." Ile was apparently in
robust health, and the highest spirits, start
ing off with more than his usual alacrity.
Ills namesake, James . S., gazed after him
with fund pride as Le disappeared up 'Wal
nut street. Alas! he never looked upon
him alive again.
At a late hour on Sunday evening, Nlar:in,
the e‘er watchful guardian of the "Flora
Temple," was aroused by a cry of distress
from the street. and, on letting out an in
quiring head into the night, beheld a majes
tic sable figure, seated on a roan mare, from
which, (figure, not mare,) at solemn inter
‘als, proceeded. tire appaling words:
"Fore God, dat Grey floss is sick."
.Althougit nothing could be extracted from
the messenger of woe further than a wailing
reiteration of the melancholy sentence, and
the explanatory foot note, ••Jlaun's Tavern,"
the family and friends of the defunct were
advised of his precarious situation, and, by
a singular presentiment, were at once im
pressed with a despairing feeling that the
illness would prove fatal. Several near and
dear• friends proceeded with all the haste of
a two mule team to Mauu's, where they ar
rived about 1 o'clock A. M., just in time to
catch a glimpse of the colored friend, with
whom Job bad left Columbia in the morning,
mal_•ing excellent time towards town, afoot,
and to hear his tremulous voice, from a safe
distance in the woods proclaim:
"De Loss is done gone, Mr. MeMann, but
deed sir I didn't druv him hard."
The sorrowful tidings were but too true;
poor Job was taking his long rest. Stretched
on a pile of straw, his countenance composed
into a happy expression of confidence in fu
ture oats, he lay calmly sleeping the Icing
sleep which knows no waking to whip, spur
or Illy gentle spirit lied winged its
way, where? Into a future man? or simply
to horse heaven? If there be an equine
futurec we confidently assert that our la
mented friend has a front scat.
We draw a decent veil over the frantic
grief (f the bereaved ones, who after a lung
and heart-reading "wirrahl wirrahl" over
the rensains, assauged their sorrow in sun
dry of "Mann's" most superior "epic." A
slight gleans of comfbrt was derived from
the fact of the deceased having enjoyed (?)
during his lode!' but painful illness, every
strawy comfort that the tenderest care could
supply.
A profane country oiler to slits him for
his hide was met with such an imlignant
and emphatic outburst of virtuous indigna
tion, that we feel assured that not even a
crow will venture to disturb his hallowed
resting place.
Over his remains it is proposed to erect a
suitable testimonial, with the appropriate
inscription.

morning at early candle light, and we arc

In the southern States, whose elections
have just been held, the return shows twen
ty-five Democratic =ambers of Congress,
and i Americans, being a Democratic gain
of seven.
Returns from Iow?. leave no doubt that
the new cuunstitution of that State has been
adopted. It was made a party question by
the Democratg, who made a general rally
against it. In 30 counties heard from,
there is a majority of 4555 for it. The Re
publicans had the control of the convention
which framed it and they consider the rati
fication of their work a substantial victory.
It appears from the Louisville papers, of
both parties, that the Democrats have only
carried one branch of the Kentucky Legis
lature. la the Senate there are 20 Ameri
cans and 13 Democrats, leaving an Ameri
can majority of two. In the other House
there is a Democratic majority of from
twelve to twenty. As a United States Sen
ator is to Le chosen, this is important.
Returns from ninety counties in Missouri
on the vote for Governor, give Rollins,
American, 2,000 majority. He is probably
elected be 1300 majority.
The C,ngregsional election in Nebraska
Territory ha resulted in a poll of 1470 for
Ferguson, Independent Dent.; 1300 for
Thayer, Et:publican; 1114 fur Chapman, the
regular Democratic nominee, and 1001 for
Banker. Chapman was the memLer in the

is 4051, aid/ one county to hear from.
Advieci from Kansas state that Governor
Walker hod returned to Lawrence with the
Cnited 'rates troops, the apprehensions of
an attack on Fort Riley by the Cheyennes
having proved groundless. The squatter
municipal government of Lawrence tact on
the 7th, and was engaged in perfecting or
dinances. The election returns from nll
parts of the territory indicate a large vote
and nearly unanimous for the Topeka Con
stitution.
At the e!ection in Kansas, under the To
peka regime, ten thousand votes are said to
have been p9lled, and the Topeka Constitu
tion was adupted again, almost unanimously.
No one was allowed to vote except a six
months' resident of the territory.
The contest fur Congress in the Sixth Dis
trict of Alabama is quite close, so that it
will require the official returns to decide
whether Houston or Hubbard is elected.—
So the Washington Star learns from private
adrices. The probabilities seem to be that
Houston is defeated and Hubbard chosen.
President Buchanan has left Bedford

ME GOODWOOD Cep ItAcr..—Halifiz.r, Au
;AO 12.—The following meagre particulars
of the great race for the Goodwood cup, we
gather from the Liverpool papers; none of
the accounts at hand give the time of any of
the horzeg.
The French horse, INlOnarque, won the
race. The English horse, Risher, is placed
second; and Fisherman third.
"Gunboat" slipped and fell, and Kestrel
and (lemma di Vergy also fell heavily.—
Monarque won by a head, and Riseber beat
Fisherman by about three lengths.
"Anton" was placed fourth, and was three
lengths . behind Fisherman. The American
hones, Prior and Prioress, were placed
fifth and sixth. All the others pulled up.—
The finish is :aid to have been the most ex
citing ever witnessed.
The English papers remark, but without
assigning tiny reason, that the American
horses would have figured more prominently
had they not been ridden by English jockeys.
El-Wei copy the following from an en
tertaining article in Irouseltold Words, enti
tled "Duelling in France."
\‘'e will close this subject of madness and
wickedness with a retributive story of a
duel between an Englishman and a French
man. A certain English gentleman who
was a regular frequenter of the green room
of Drury Lane Theatre in the days of Lord
Byron's Committee, and who always stood
quietly on the hearthrug there, with his
back to the fire, was in his usual place one
night, when a narrative was related by an
other gentleman newly returned from the
continent, of a barrier duel that had taken
place in Paris. A young Englishman—a
mere boy—had been despoiled in a gaming
hou-ie in the Palais Royal, had charged a
certain gaming Count with cheating him,
had gone out with the Count, had wasted
his tire, and had been slain by the Count,
under the frightful circumstances of the
Cuunt's walking up to him, laying his hand
un his heart, saying: 'you are a brave young
felluw—have you a mother!' and on his re
plying in the affirmative, remarking coolly,
•I am sorry for her,' and blowing his vie
titu's braius out. The gentleman on the
hearth-rug paused in taking a pinch of snuff'
to hear this sturv, ob , erved with great
Pla'iditv. 'I am afraidmust kill that ras
cal.' few nights elapsed, during which
flo green room hearth-rug teas without him,
and then he re-appeared precisely as before,
and only incidentally mentioned in the
course of the e% ening. 'Gentlemen I killed
that rascal:' Ife had gone over to Paris on
p...rp . ose, had tracked the Count to the same
mania;;huuse, had thrown a glass of wino
in his the presence of all the com
pany a.semided there, had told !tint he had
come to aveng.: his young compatriot—and
had dune it by puttin" the Cuuut out of this
world, and emninz back to the hearth-rug
as if nothing had happened.
The Philosophy of Noses
A first division of noses includes all that
are, in proportion to the face, too small, i. e.,
all that are decidedly less than one-third of
the length of the face, or less than the fore
head is deep. The varieties of these are nu
merous in the snub, flat, retrousse, and up
turned, or celestial noses. The natural
types to which they are generally referable
are either the little noses of children or the
flat broad noses of negroes; and it is consis
tent with this that in men of civilized races
all such noses indicate defective intellectual
power; and do so with a certainty of symbol
ism which nothing but excellence in the
form of the head, as in the case of Socrates,
can neutralize. They tell of an unfinished
intellectual development; and the lower and
flatter, and more snub they arc, the more
certainly do they indicate feebleness and
meanness of intellect, and of a mind iu
which bad temper more than good judgement
will have sway.
It is not quite so with woman. In them
the whole organization, in its gradual de
velopment, diverges less thou that of men
does, from the almost similar form which
they both have in early childhood. The re
tention, therefore, of the little child-like nose
implies no such grave defect in the woman's
mind. If her head be well formed, such a
nose may express naivete, or, perhaps smart
ness of wit and dexterous intelligence.—
but even in woman such noses need to be as
sociated with g.ual features. if they are
not they *dd much to the expression of in
significance or even coarseness. The thicker
and larger forms of snub nose in either sex
commonly indicate the predominance of the
material sensuous character, and a turnup
nose with wide obvious nostrils is an open
declaration (so far as a nose can make one,)
of an empty and inflated mind; of a mind in
which there is but the spurious imitation of
that strength and loftier pride tt hich the
wide nostrils in a well formed nose might
indicate.
Large 110909, in men, are generally good
signs; especially, they add emphasis to the
good indication of a well formed head; but
they must not be too fleshy or too lean. If I
they are long (yet short of being snout-like.)
they mark as prolongations of the forehead,
the intelli4ent, ob , ervant and productive
nature of the refined mind. If Ruma»,
arched high and strong, they are generally
associated with a less developed forehead
and a larger hind head; and they disclose
strength of will and energy, rather than in
tellectual power; they show also the want
of that refinement which is indicated by the
straight nose. The Jewish or hawk nose
commonly signifies shrewdness in worldly
matters; it odds force to the meaning of the
narrow concentrative forehead symbolical of
singleness of object; and its usually narrow
nostrils wear the unfailing sign of caution
and timidity. The Greek straight nose
"indicates refinement of character," love for
the fine arts, and belles letters, astuteness,
craft, and preference fur indirect rather than
direct action. 'Perpendicular noses—that
is such as approach this form, * *
suppose a mind capable of acting and suffer
ing with calmness and energy."
A nose slightly hefted at its end, extends
and corroborates the indication of the ana
lytic forehead. Such noses, large and broad
pointed, arc frequent in men with acute
practical knowledge of the world. The same
boiled end is often seen in the cogitative or
wide-nostriled nose, wide at the cad, thick
and broad, indicating- a mind that has
strong powers of thought, and is given to
close and serious meditation. With these
symbols, Lavater's dicta fall in: "A no , -e
whose ridge is broad, no matter whether
! straight or curved, always announces supe
rior faculties. But this form is very rare."
And again, "a small nostril is the certain
sign of a timid spirit." In a woman a large
nose is of more uncertain augury; fur it is
apt to extend into caricature. If it be well
formed and finely modeled, a rather large
nose, and especially one which is nearly
straight, or slightly arched, is, in a woman,
often characteristic of excellent mental
power. But any of the more peculiarly
male forms of nose, if large and coarsely
formed in women, denote a too masculine
character; and those that arc of ill omen in
men, are much worse in women; since the
evil of being inappropriate is added to that
of malformation.— Quarterly Review.
is the pleasantest member of the
whole family of pronouns. Of the flower
that cannot sin and the child that has not
sinned, of the June that is always welcome
and the morning that comes from heaven, we
say 'it,' In that pleasant prelude in an in
fant's life when the stranger is waiting to
be named and becomes the 'it' of the whole
household, ambition is often nearer to the
crown for which it pants than ever in after
life.
Only as an 'it' can we hallow the girl into
the glad young mother and hasten the
comely matron into a grand-mother in a
twinkling. Only then do we turn ur
chins into uncles, and little sparkling
planets in pantalettes into aunts. The
arc the true rulers of the world; and all
poor pronouns must do them reverence.
Twice we are 'its,' yesterd...y, when from
a loving bosom we looked up helpless and
trustful into the near heaven of a mother's
eyes; to-morrow, when we lie ashes upon the
broader bosom of the mother of us all.
As 'it' christens the child, so it designates
the dust.— Chicago Journal.
PROWCWIS ALL FOCI:S.-At one of the
meetings held by the Boston savons a few
weeks since, the room was darkeur.d fur the
trial of certain experiments. One of the
Professors thought to himself, 'it would be
just like these people to have some one creep
in at the door, and get under the table, and
perform all the tippings and rappings:' so
down goes this learned man upon his hands
and knees and creeps softly towards the
door, and sure enough he runs presently
upon a man moving quietly along upon all
fours, just its he expected. Seizing eagerly
upon the culprit, our wary Professor ex
claims:
'Now, sirrali, Pre caught you; I've caught
you now l' But the culprit meantime has
grappled with him and is shouting thesamc
thing in response. It was another Profes
sor hunting for the same kind of game.
'Each thought fur a minute that he had
revealed the whole trickery of spiritualisn.;
but the matter was soon cleared up, and
after a hearty laugh, these faithful disciples
of Boston, confessing that the experiment
was a failure, were again applying the in
ductive method in more successful ways.
Douglas Jerrold
We copy the following graceful tribute
to the late Douglas Jerrold from the edi
torial department of Patitam's -Vonthty, en
titled "Our Window:"
We see few sadder sights from Our Win
dow this mouth, than the fresh grave of
Douglass Jerrold. Wit, novelist, maga
zinist, satirist, dramatist, and honest man,
by a curious infelicity of fortune he has
hardly enjoyed the literary consideration to
which his merits entitled him. The "Book
of Snobs," in Punch, did not strike as
strongly as the "Caudle Lectures," and
"St. Giles' and St. James' " is a novel in the
strain and with the power of the best of con
temporary novelists. Jerrold may be said
to have brewed "Punch;" at least he gave
it that pleasant sting iu the mouth which is
its delightfully characteristic flavor. "The
Rent Day" holds the stage still with a pop
ular success not likely to be soon outgrown,
and the thousand seeds of sarcasm and sa
tire which he sowed liberally all through
the periodical literature of the last twenty
years in England, will be constantly crop
ping out for the entertainment of unborn
great grandchildren.
Douglas Jerrold was an English literalcur,
He worked hard with his pen, in a myriad
ways, but never quite touched that point of
popularity which elevates an author into the
highest rank. His name is probably more
familiarly known than his works; and of
late years we have heard of him mainly by
his boit-m0t.1., for he died confessedly the
wittiest man in England.
Yet he lived in a great age, and had great
cotemporaries; and he, with them, fully- and
ably illustrated its spirit. Ire hated hum
bug, and, living in the midst of an obsequi
ous society, he held his head erect, and bow
ing only to his superiors, made his bow a
homage. Ire was caustic in his social criti
cisms, and a nobleman in his description
was not always a noble man.
Douglas Jerrold did good service in the
battle \\ 'deli English literature is now fight
ing, and his grave is the grave of a hero.
He was a social, genial companion, and
there are rumors of excesses which we hope
were not habitual, but which it is idle to
blink out of mention, if they were correct.
The universal expression of sorrow fur
Douglas Jerrold dead, shows hoe• deep was
the regard fur Douglas Jerrold living; a
regard unsuspected by many who were not
used often to hear his name. Thackcray in
his lecture upon charity and humor, called
him "an acute thinker and distinguished
wit," and mentioned Jerrold and Dickens
alone of the living humorists, together with
a "Vanity Fair party." Let us remember
how nearly allied are charity and humor.
Loaking at this green grave, let us reflect
in how many ways it is given to a man to
work and to do good, and that whoever with
his pen touches the hard heart, and makes
it flow with sympathy, does not die without
a sign, and that sympathy keeps his memory
green forever.
A LA:vn SPECTLATION.----Babre Suggs
opened his saddlebags to pay the Indian wo
man fur the land, General Lawson, who
wanted a slice, came to Suggs and said.—
'Mr. Suggs, I'd like to have an interest in
your contract and I'm willing to pay for it;
I'll find the money to pay the Indian, and
give you an interest of one-third." Not
'thou t I was willing, would ye?' asked Suggs
jeeringly. do better than that,' said
Taylor, wiping the blood from his nuse;—
I'll the money and give you half

'Very proberly,' remarked Simon, 'but un
less some on ye counts me out five hundred,
I shall have to unlock these here,' patting
the saddle bags, 'and buy it myself.' I'll
do it!' said Colonel Bryan, who had been
making a calculation on the inside of the
crown of his hat—Pll do it!' Ah,' said
Suggs, 'Mars what made the chicken squall.
rinere the man I'm huntin'! Draw your
weepius!' The land was forthwith certified
to Suggs, who immediately transferred it to
Bryan. 'Now, gentlemen,' said the captain,
'every body's satisfied—aint they?' If they
aint they ought to be,' replied Colonel Bryan,
who was delighted with his bargain.
think so, too,' remarked Suggs, 'and bein'
as that's the case,' he continued, opening
his saddle bags, 'as I had to act before you
all as if my saddle bags were full of gold
and silver, or else lose my chance of profit
here, I'll now throw out these here rocks
and old iron, fur it's mighty tiresome to an
old horse!' and the captain did throw out
the rocks and old iron fur be had not a dol
lar in tho world! The speculators vanished.
'This here's a mighty hard world,' mur
mured the captain to himself, musingly,
'to get along in. Ef a feller don't make
every aidge cut, he's in the back.ground di
rectly. It's tile and strive and tussle every
way to make an honest liven'. Well!' he
,continued in a strain of unusual piety, as
he threw up and caught a roleau of dollars;
'well, there is a providence that purvides;
and of a man will only stand squar' up to
what's right it will prosper his endeavors to
make somethin' to feed his children on!—
yes, there is a Providence! I should like to
see the man vm ho says there ain't no Provi
deuce, you way be sure there is something
wrong here,' striking in the region of his
breast pocket—'and that man will swindle
you, of he can—cerfoial'—Simon Suggs.
MATERNAL SoticiTEßt.—A cotemporary
was amused and annoyed, pleased and half
disposed to be angry, with an instance of
maternal solicitude, of which he was made
the innocent 'victim, a few days since. He
had spent the evening from his boarding
house, and on the following morning was
subjected to a catechising after this manner:
'You were out last night?'
'Yes, madam.'
'Was it at your office?'
'No, madam.'
'Were you far away?'
'Not very.'
'Spending the evening with some lady
friend, perhaps?'
'Yes, madam.'
'Ali! very pleasant to do that?'
'Very.'
'Who was she, Mr. J.?'
'Lord, madam,' we began to be a little im
patient, 'if you and your amiable daughter
must know, I called on the wash-woman to
get my other shirt!'
It is needless to say that the lady sud-
denly left.
