recognized heal of our county pres, with
regret. His character as an editor and a

to honor and respect, and in him the edito

of a 1, , cal sot jean n,r profound dis.2ussion.
fhir kfron:-11, usually teeming with excite
and furnishing items at every street
corner, has gone to sleep after the election,
ind exhibits no sign of awakening before
put flication day. We have consulted all the I
most likely gossips, frequented tlic haunts
of public spirited citizens, CN . C.I suborned
not unwilling juveniles to incite to a canine
difficulty, with nothing for the result. In
any ordinary- community the noble example
of the New York pugilistic chivalry would
have excited a spirit, of emulation, and so
favorable a locality for the exercises of the
prize ring as our shore affords, would not
have been carelessly neglected ; we might
have had the happiness of devoting our col
times to the thrilling incidents of wie or
more scientific "mills," telling how the
"Chicken" and the " Pet" dealt thundering
blows on "nobs," "smellers," " mugs,"
" peepers" and other organs pertaining, we
believe, exclusively to the " fancy t" or how
that intense American, Patrick O'Gallows
bird stood up for the honor of " Our glori
ous Country," against that other distinguish
ed Native, Phelim MeSlitweasand,land how
the whole country hung breathless upon the
result. How the substantial inhabitants of
our g reat cities flocked to witness the en
nobling struggle for the championship or
America, and how they staked their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor on the
result. How the enterprising journals,
earnestly deprecating the mobid curiosity of
the public, and crying " brutality," " im
morality," " law," "spolice," carefully dis
dispatched each its " own special reporter,"
and issued each its own extra edition, with
all the entertaining and imposing portico
!ars. How everything was conducted with
admirable fairness and quietness—how no
Iratan carried deadly weapons—how the crowd
returned peaceably to theirrespective homes,
disturbing no one—how they disported
themselves on tho way, playing innocent
jokes un conductors, passengers and hotel
keepers, and how through the length and
breadth of the land the charming details
were eagerly sought after and read. Ah,
why arc we so behind the age that we can
' not hate a price fight!
But as we have said; our town is unnatu

The steamship Persia arrived at N. York
on Tuesday, bringing news from Europe as
late as the 16th. France had accepted the
mediation of a friendly power in her dispute
with Portugal. During the last month, the
Bank of France had lost seventeen hundred
thousand pounds'sterling in bullion, and its
discounts had largely increased. The Bank
of England had also lust bullion heavily. A
panic had occurred on the Vienna Stock
Exchange. The free importation of bread•
stuffs into Portugal is to be permitted. At

CARRY yore HOTEL wpm You.—They are
making at present, at Paris a portable !mita
percha hotel for the use of travelers, On the
occasion of the late :_grand regatta, at the
meeting of the sovereigns at Cherbourg, a
well known FrCIICII viscount and an English
gentleman, dreading the inconvenience of
over-crowded hotels, took one of these new in
ventions, and went a la tortoise—carrying,
their house with them. Though not so heavy
as to be at all expensive as railroad bag
gage, the hotel a la tortoise' contains three
rooms—parlor, bed-room and kitchen. The
utensils for cooking, &c., arc separately
boxed. It is warranted weather-proof, and
arrangeable in ten minutes.
Oa arriving, the two travelers selected a
commanding situation fur viewing the ships
of war, yachts, and steamers, pitched their
tent and went forthwith to "housekeeping."
Of course they Lad brought their potted
meats, wines, Cc., and the viscount was at
tended by his cook, who was also architect
and valet de ehambre. For the two days of
the fete they lived most commodiously, and
entertained a friend or two at diuner—re.
turning to Paris, hotel and all, nt much less
expense than they would have dune if simi

WAX FIGURES VS. Sit.txr.st.Emtr.—A show
man, named Ward; recently addressed the
Cleveland Plaindealer quite an original and
forcible essay on the superiority of an ex
hibition of wax figures over the performance
of Shakespeare's plays. Here it is:
I'm tiayellin with a tent which is better
nor hirin balls. My show consists of a se
rious of wax works, a pane,tamy called a
Grand Movin Diarea of the War in the
Crymear, comic songs and the Cangaroo,
which last little cuss continuso to conduct
himself in tho most outrageous style. I
started out Ewith the idea of making my
show a grate Mural Entertainment, but Via
compelled to ware so much at that air in
fernal Cangeroo that I'm afraid this desine
will be flustrated to some extent. And while
speaking of morality remines me that sum
folks turn up their noses at shows like mine
sayin they is low and not fit to be patronized
by people of high dogree. Sure i maintain
that this is unfernal nonsense. I maintain
that wax figures is more elevation than all
the plays ever wroten. Take Shakespeer
for instance. People think he'sgrate things,
but I contend he is quite the reverse to the
contrary. What sort of sense is there to
King Leer who goes round cussin his dar
ters, chawin hay and throwing straw at folk,
and 'milli like a silly old Loot and makin
ass of himself &orally? There's Mrs.
Macbeth, she is a nice kind of woman to
have, ain't she a puttin old Mac, her bus
bead, up to slaying Duncan with a cheese
knife, while he is payin a friendly visit to
their house. 9 it's highly morality i spoze ,
when she larfs wildly and sez "gin mo the
daggers—i'le let his bowels out," or words
to that effeck—i say this is all strictly proper, i
spoze? That Jack Fawlstaff is likewise a
immoral old cuss take him how ye may ;
and llhnlit is as crazy as:a loon. There's
Richard Thurd—people think he is grate
things, but i look upon him in the lito of a
monster. Ile kills every body be takes a
noshuu to, in cold blood, and then goes to
sleep in his tent; Bimeby he wakes up and
yells fora hose, so he can go orf and kill
sum more people. If he is not a fit speci•
men fur the gallies then i should like to
know ware yu find urn? There's .Tergo who
is more ornery nor pizum. See how shame..
ful he treated that highly respecterble injun
gentlemun Mr. Otheller, makin him for to
bealevc his wife was to thick with Casheo.
Observe how lergo got Casheo drunk as a
bilcd owl on corn whiskey in order to carry
out his sneakin desines. See how he works
Mister Otheller's feelings up so that he goze
and makes poor Desdemonyswaller a piller
which causes her deth. But i must stop.
At sum future time I shall continue my re
marks on the drammer, in which i show the
vast superiority of wax fliggers, snaix and
other fixins in a interleetual pint of view.

Sronv or A DlAMOND.—Charles the Bold
having, when in the Netherlands, pawned a
fine diamond, then celebrated as being the
largest in Europe, and finding himself,
sometime afterwards, in a position to redeem
it, dispatched for that purpose a trusty page,
furnished with the requisite sum of money.
The messenger arrived safely at his destina
tion, performed his commission, and reached
without accident. on his return, the confines
of Burgundy; when the melancholy news
was brought to the duke, then at Arles,
that his ill-fated page was found murdered
just at the entrance of a wood on the Bur
gundian frontier. On receipt of this dis
mal intelligence, Charles sent off a message
to the authorities, ordering that the body
should not be removed, and that a guard
should be placed over it to prevent any per
sons approaching the spot until ho should
himself come thither in person. On his ar
rival he caused the dead body to be opened,
and in the stomach was found the missing
diamond, which], it would appear, the faith
ful page, at the first intimation of an attack
and probably by a preconcerated arrange-
Ment with his master, made in anticipation
of such an emergency, hal swallowed to
prevent its falling into the hands of his as
sailants. It was supposed that he had been
followed all the way from Brussels by per
sons who had obtained information (in all
likelihood from the Flemish money-lenders
themselves) of his having redeemed the
jewel; but that no favorable opportunity of
plundering him of his precious charge, with
out chance of detection, had offered until
his arrival at this secluded spot on the for
est-clad .confines of Burgundy. Whatever
degree of credence may be attached to this
narration, certain it is that a diamond ans
wering this description was in the posses
sion of Charles in 1476, when, after his cel
ebrated defeat at Crimson, it fell, with the
rest of the valuable contents found in his
camp, consisting of massive gold plate
pearls, aad jewels of priceless worth—in
short, the most enormous wealth that ever
accompanied the march of an army—into
the hands of the victorious Swiss, who, to
show their contempt of these vanities, parted
with the diamond for a trifle, and sold the
sumptuous plate as pewter. This diamond,
then the largest in ,Europe, subsequently
found its way into the crown of France,
where it figures to this day; such at least.
is the received opinion. After this, the
episodical incident of the "Terrific Duke"
ordering the page's body to be opened in
search of the missing jewel, is a feat incom
parably more innocent in its nature than is
that recorded of Mahomed 11. Emperor of
the Turks, who, we aro credibly informed,
was a great amateur of fruit-gardening, and
once commanded the bodies of twelve of
his pages to be opened while living, in order
to discover which of them had eaten a fa
vorite melon which had been purloined
from his conservatories at Constantinople.
per Postal arrangements in Rome are
slightly out of joint. A comedian recently
applied fur a letter at the post office, and
was told there was forty cents to pay for
it. " I can't pay that," said he, " for I
know what's in it." " Well, how much
will you give?" asked the post master.
" Four sous is all it is worth to me," said
the comedian. V'ell, take it then," re
plied the postmaster; " for I've read it, and
it's only a love letter."
IM.A good Minister prayed fervently for
those of his congregation who were too
proud to kneel and too lazy to stand.
THE MYSTERY OP SMALL FELT EXPLAINED.
--In the fifth girl I saw the commencement
of the second operation—a torture under
which sickly children frequently die. The
sole of the foot was now curved into the
shape of a bow; the great toe and heel be
ing brought together as near as possible.—
Thke a jujube and double it till two points
of the lozenge nearly meet, and you will
see what. I mean. This is done very grade-,
ally. The bandage is never slackened—
month by month it is drawn tighter—the
foot inflames and swells, but the tender
mamma perseveres—as the bones and tend
ons accommodate themselves to the posi
tion constrained by the bandage; so it is
drawn tighter. At last the ball of the natu
ral foot Ste into the hollow of the sole, the
root of the great toe is brought into contact
with the heel. The foot is a shapeless
lump. The instep is where the ankle was,
and all that is left to go into the slipper and
to tread the ground is the ball of the great
toe and heel. This is the small foot of the
Chinese women—a bit of too and a bit of
heel, with a mark, like a cicatrice left
af
ter a huge cut, running up between them.—
Two of the girls were yet suffering great
pain, and their feet were hot and inflamed,
but in the eldest the operation was complete.
She had attained to the position of a small
footed woman, and her feet were quite cowl,
had no corns and were not tender to the
touch. One of the mammas, influenced
perhaps by a little liberality in the article
of rico money, intrusted me with Chinese
mystiere de toilette. Sometimes, it seems,
when a woman is expected to have to do
herd work, her toe and heel are not drawn
so tightly together as to produce the true
"small foot." To disguise this imperfection
upon her marriage day she has recourse to
art. A piece of cork, shaped like an inver
ted sugar-loaf is strapped on to her foot,
and the small part goes into her slipper
and passes for her foot. Thus are we poor
men deceived? While we are gossiping
about small feet the old lady's burial pro
cession comes to an end. It would be hissed
nt Astley's, and would be regarded with
blank astonishment at the Princess', but it
is very successful at Shanghai. The opium
broker has done his duty as a good sun.—
If he keeps his two years of mourning
properly, and if none of his wives commit
the indiscretion of having a child within
two years, commencing from nine months
after this time, (for the present Emperor is
supposed to owe all his misfortunes to an
unfortunate accident of this sort,) be will
bo esteemed a very respectable man fur
evermore.

to a most as 14 well attested by the ef
fects on its strong iron frame, which, from its flaked
and real y appearance, looks us though tt had been
heated far a long, time in n furnace. The Safe. with
heaps of monen glass and kegs of ands. fused into a
mass, fell IMO the cellar, surrounded by burning ma
terial., and there was:sufrered to remain, (It, the Coll.
leans had been removed before die fire reached us,)
until the 2d of August. 14 days afterward..
The diftienhy in cutting it open with the best tools
that could be procured, convmced us of its power to
resist the attempts of burglars, and when it was
opened. we found the Interior, to the astonishment of
all, entirely uninjured by fire.
'Phis ten has so fully convinced us of the enpahili
tie, of your Safe-, that we would not part with the
one WO have in use for a large sum, were we debarred
