THK SHIP OF STATE,
BY JOSIAII F. PASSMORE
The Ship of State still proudly sails
With flagß and banners to the galo ;
She proudlv Bails o’er sectional strife,
Well loaded with the staff of life.
Our glorious ship—long may she glide,
With Freedom’s Sons, the helm to guide,
Without a rent in any sail —
Long, long and-proudly may she sail!
Keep all fanatics off our ship,
Let no vile traitors get a grip—
Upon the staunch and firm built ship,
That’s sailed from good old Sovonty-Six !
Lot no vile traitors at th&oars,
To run our ship against the shores ;
But keep true freemen at the oars
Who’ll keop our ship from Monarch shores!
Fanatics long havo tried in vain,
To strand our ship in every gale ;
But futile will all efforts bo,
While Freedom's Sons are at the helm
So let us all as Freedom’s Sous,
Keop our. good Ship of State afloat,
Nor let the wild fanatics have
A plaoo to quarter on our boat.
New Providence, 1857.
THE SHOW EXPRESS.
A STORY OF THE WHITE AND RED MEN.
Many years ago, while a subaltern, I
was stationed at Blockhouse Point, at the
mouth of the Green Snake River, on the
north side of Lake Huron. This now di
lapidated stronghold was originally erected
on a,sandy point stretching out into the
lake, in the days of the Indian wars, and 1
could fancy its slender garrison of sharp
shooters watching from their loopholes the
clustering forms of their Indian foes as
they stole along the borders of the forest.
The bullet holes that riddled its massive
walls, and its charred and blackened sur
faoe, suggested grim conjectures respecting
its brave defenders who filled the gravds
around its foot. .
But now there were no Indians to employ
the leisure of the unfortunate company of
regular troops, that grumbled away their
days within the humble fortification that
now surrounded the old blockhouse. Our
only enemies were bears and foxes which
skulked about the woods, and the only
Indians who sought admission to the post
were those from a little village about seven
miles up the Green Snake River, where a
peaceable party of Ojibbeways had taken
up their abode.
In this dot in the wilderness 1 and two
brother officers lived the lives of anchorites;
only less contented, and by no means for
getting world, by which we seemed very
nearly forgotten. Not but what letters
reached us—sometimes.—during the sum
mer, by an occasional schooner coming up
along the lakes. It was during the othef
half of the year, when the lakes were
bound by the universal fetter of ice, that
we lived in unblissful ignorance. Twioe,
however, during each long, long winter,
great excitement prevailed at Blockhouse
Point. It was when Indians, travelling
over the snow on snow shoes, were expect
ed to arrive with the “express.” Day
after day wa used to walk for miles, hop
ing to meet the bronzed Mercuries ; and
when at length they came in sight, witjj
what trembling hearts we returned to the
post to await the opening of their sealed
wallets by the proper authority, in ignor
ance of what tidings “the mail” might
contain for us !
On one occasion the news I got was sad
enough. My dearest yfriend was to be
tried by court-martial on a serious charge.
He had not written to me himself, but a
mutual friend informed me that, before
another month was past, Lowther’s fate
would be sealed ; and this month’s delay
had only occurred in oonsequence of an
important witness being required from the
lower province. I saw at once that it was
in my power to disprove the gravest part
of the charge, although Lowther did not
know it. Yet, before the spring should
come and the lakes be open to enable: us
to reach the head-quarters, the trial would
be over, and my friend, in all probability,
condemned.
The dreadful thought that he might be
sacrificed for the want of my testimony
haunted me. I could not sleep that night.
Many plans disturbed my mind. Could I
not write my statement, and send it by an
Indian express 1 Undoubtedly I could.
But when I came to count, I found; it
it would not arrive in time unless spme
one was ever at hand to hurry the messen
gers on. Why should not Ibe of the [ex
press party 1 I was young, strong, active,
and accustomed to exertion. Surely what
Indians could do I could do. There was
not an hour to be lost. At daylight 1 Ob
tained leave from my commanding officer— ,
a mere matter of form —for both he and :
my junior heartily rejoiced at the prospect
of Lowther’s acquittal. Two Indians were
quickly obtained, and everything was made
ready for departure in a few hours.
We were a strange looking party. Our
object being speed, each carried his own
* traps and as few of them as possible; I
was clad in a beaver coat and fur cap. My
kit consisted of a blanket, a bearskin, and
a wallet to hold provisions. The two In
dians, who were brothers, wore similarly
equipped. With rifles ready loaded : for
any game that might present itself, land
snow-shoes on our feet, we set out.
In case we succeeded in getting to head
quarters at the time appointed, a gratuity
had been promised to the Indians, (which
I resolved to give whether or nut,) and
they unmurmuringly pressed on, nearly
the'* whole day, on their cumbrous snow
• .shoes, scarcely giving themselves time to
cook the game we killed ; then, shoulder
ing their packs and starting off again.—
They endeavored to beguile the weariness
of the way by lively sallies, at which they
laughed till the silent woods rang with
their merriment. Chingoos, (the ermine,)
the youngest brother, was the most joyous
as well as most active of us all; and, how
ever wearied he might be when we stopped
for the night, he laughed and jested as he
cut with his tomahawk the evergreens
whioh were to form our not uncomfortable
shelter, and be strewn beneath the bear
skins on which-we slept. Shegashie, (the
cray fish,) was our cook and fire maker ;
and the rapid way in which he heaped on
scores of dry branches, and raised a tjlaz
zing pile above the snow, always excited
my admiration. jl
When we had accomplished nearly jbalf
our journey, we had not overstepped ji the
time we allowed ourselves ; but the con
tinuous exertion was beginning to affect
our limbs, and the perpetual glare of 5 the
sun on the snow inflamed our eyes. This
we found by far the greatest hardship of
the two. I shall never forget the joy we
felt, one morning, when the sun remaiued
hidden beneath heavy cloud-bauks inj the
! east. Almost forgetting our swollen limbs
■ in the gladness of being delivered from his
dazzling rays, we traveled inerriljj; on
1 through leafless forests of gigantic trees ;.
through tracts of smaller . trees, thickly
studded with the larch, the spruce, )and
the fir, whose dark foliage gloomed alpiost
I back against the stainless snow ; through
| woods tangled with wild vines, andjfra
| grant with juniper bushes, until at length
[ we reached the shores of a small frozen
| lake. :
Once more we rejoiced that the dayt was
dim ; for, in crossing lakes and we
always suffered most, being deprived of
the network of branches, which yielded us
a shade ; sometimes almost impenetrable.
But our exultation was short-lived, j| An
exclamation of disappointment burst jfrom
the Indians, and, looking up, I saw d few
large snow-flakes floating through the air.
“ Let us put off our snow-shoes,” j said
Shegashie must halt here ”
£t Why ?■”
“Because the snow will blind ourjeyes
to the path.”
The path, however, was au Indian figure
of speech. We were travelling through
an untrodden wilderness, guided from ipoint
to point by some rock, or bank, or quaintly
formed tree. But these objects dwcjt vi
vidly in the Indians’ recollections. They
had travelled this road twice before and,
whatever an ludian once sees, remains
imprinted in his memory forever. ;•
At Shegashie’s announcement, 1 looked
over tho lake lougiugly. 1 could note bear
to lose an hour, far less a day; and I said
that perhaps we might get across bjefore
the violence of the snow-storm came on. —
My guides shook their heads. However,
after a time, they agreed to make the
attempt. 3
Accordingly, off we started acrosij the
lake, the snow-flakes floating and playing
lazily around us, and, more than ouo.e> we
congratulated ourselves that their appear
ance had not deterred us. But, when we
had got about half-way across, the itnow
storui came dashing down in our faces with
a fierce gust that almost threw us off our
Staggered aud breathless;, we
stopped. Near as the brothers were, I
could see no more than the outlines of their
dark forms through the thick curtain of
snow which fell between us ; while nothing
was visible beyond but dazzling |pnow
flakes tumbling, and rushing down to
overwhelm us. ij
« We must,” cried Shegashie “ keep the
j wind in our faces, or we shall neverjjreach
1 the shore.” j
He at onoe led the way, his brother and
I following, and with difficulty distinguish
ing him as ho shuffled on heavily jjjefore
us. Already the weight of snow-shoes
impeded us greatly, and it increased each
moment, until we could scarcely drag them
along. The snow blew in our faces;; sharp
as icicles, whirliug past us in wild eddies,
almost beating us down. As the:storm
increased, the wind, which had hitherto
blown steadily in our faces, began Jto wa
ver, and to dash the snow down upoh us in
every direction. It was impossible! to go
on. ;
The last faint lingering shadow of a
hope passed away, and we felt there was
nothing left but to die. Once or twice 1
wondered I’did not feel the torpor,? which
is a precursor of death among tho : ? snow,
steal over my senses ; but we determined
not to die inactive, and the violence of my
exertions heated tpe to such a degree that
more than once I found myself wiping the
moisture from my brow, as I fought the
hopeless battle against the whirlwind.
That I am alive to write this, is s! proof
of the unslumbering Providence waltching
over all for their was no earthly hqpe for
us, when an unseen hand guided ;us to
safety. How we reached the shore none
of us knew ; but, at length, still Rattling
against the blinding snow, Shegashie’s
snow-shoes struck against a tree. » Close
beside it was a thioket of dwarf firs, and
we shrank into its shelter—saved for the
! time. ;;
For hours the snow continued toifall, as
if inexhaustible ; at length, however, it
ceased, and the setting sun shone;!out in
the western sky, red and angrily.;. The
Indians said that another snow-storm was
at hand; so we set about making the best
preparations we could for the nightj Our
friendly ihicket was no bad shelter, and
Chingoos and I set to work with our tom
ahawks to cut away the branched, until
the place somewhat resembled a bower.;
then, shaking-the cut branches free from
snow, we laid them up iu soft piles to sleep
upon, in the meantime Shegushiejjbusied
himself in making a fire and collecting
fuel. We were short of food ; for,| during
the last day or two game had been'junusu
ally scarce. But we had sufficient' for the
night, and hoped to obtain more ion the
morrow, Shegashie having set ‘several
snares around the camp for the small Arc
tic hares which abound in those forests.
Soon after dark the snow recommenced,
and although we wore unusually shel
tered, I never felt cold so intensely as I
did that night. I have rarely felt more
rejoiced than I did when 1 saw the early
dawn steal over the landscape, and was
able to rise from my freezing coiTch and
awaken my companions, who rose (looking
as comfortless as myself—especially Chin
goos, who trembled as if he had an ague
fit. But a little hot coffee revived) him.
Shegashie went to inspect his jj snares,
and, to his great disappointment, he found
' that they had not been disturbed, jiso that
there was nothing for us but to start afresh
without breakfast. Just as we had tied on
our snow-shoes, a few flakes of show like
tiny birds, came floating Between jjus and
i the clear blue sky. They were trpe har
| bingers, and within a few minuses the
] clouds began to gather and the ipngw to
| darken the atmosphere. Warned'j-by the
past day’s experience, wo romainea in our
| damp. Hour after hour the snow poured
down in driving masses ; but we were
sheltered from its fury. We had fire, and
the snow settling on the roof and s ides of
our bower made it warm ; so we felt that
we had more cause to bo thankful khan to
«that country is the most prosperous where labor commands the greatest reward”.
j LANCASTER OTTY, PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 24. 1857,
complain, though we were compelled to
Before long, Chingoos’ indisposition of
the morning returned, and as the day wore
on he continued to grow worse ; until, by
evening, it was quite evident that he was
in the first stage of a fever. We. did the
best we oould for him, by giving him hot
coffee and such other trifling comforts as
our slender stock afforded.
The next morning broke bright and
beautiful; but it was at once evident that
poor Chingoos could not travel that day.
The fever increased, and the ague so shook
him that it was with the greatest difficulty
he could take the coffee from our hands. —
The snares were still empty, and this day
also passed without food.
On the third morning ChingOos was still
worse. No game had been snared or shot,
and hunger pangs were becoming very
fierce. We were so weak we could scarcely
creap. About mid-day a hare came leap
ing by through the snow. I shot it, and
we dressed it immediately. To this day I
think that was the sweetest meal I ever
tasted. We made part of the hare into
soup for our poor patient; but he was un
able to take it—to our surprise, for it
seemed to us delicious beyond expression.
From that day we never wanted food,
and were able to give all our thoughts and
anxieties to Chingoos, whose last hour was
evidently drawing near. He held out his
hand to his brother, aud Shegashie, for
getting the stoical demeanor of his race,
which he had tried hard to maintain, burst
into tears as be folded tt to his bosom.; —
Wheu he released it, it feli cold and stif
fened upon the snow.
Shegashie did not speak for hours, but
wept incessantly. The earth was frozen
too hard to admit of digging a grave. We
were therefore compelled to lay the liteless
Indian deep in the snow in a shady place,
until his brother could return in the spring
to bury him.
On the following morning we resumed
our journey, but it had noiv become a mel
ancholy pilgrimage. The day seemed long
and dreary without the joyous youth, whose
lively jests and ringing laughter had ech
oed among the old trees. Towards eve
ning, for the lirst time in all our travels,
we came on the signs of a human being.—
Tbe broad trail of a pair of snow-shoes
preceded us along the course we had to
follow.
My guide, judging by the tracks, an
nounced the wearer to be an Indian, and
not one of the white hunters who are some
times to be met m these forests. He was
right. The wearer of the gayly trimmed
hunting shirt whom we overtook about two
hours after, with his dirty blanket, rifle,
tomahawk, and knife, his arms covered
with bracelets, and bunches of ear-rings
weighing down the lobes of bis ears, fully
attested the accuracy of Shegashie’s fore
knowledge.
The Indians greeted each other with
grave courtesy, aud the same polite recep-
tion was extended to me ; but iu spite of
all their gravity, I fancied I perceived a
gleam of joy in the wild eyes of the
stranger. No wonder, poor fellow ! 1
thought. Perhaps he has passed the whole
winter without looking on the human face.
He belonged to a. party of Indians living
far to the north ofTrreen Snake River, and
his dialect was a great trial to niy Indian
erudition.
As his path for a day or two would be
the same as ours, the stranger proposed to
join us. Though 1 must confess that the
sight of his blanket, caked with filth, made
me feel a repugnance to his company, yet
I was too prudent to object, and afterwards
when we stopped for the night, and I found
that, leaving the fire-making to Shegashie,
he was content to bustle about to collect
fuel, and to assist me in forming our night’s
shelter, I felt more charity towards him,
and was more resigned to his raising his
pile of branches near my own.
As we sat, that evening, round our
camp fire, I had a bettor opportunity of
observing our new acquaintance. He was
a tall, finely formed Indian, and more
masculine than I had ever seen any of his
race. Moreover, there was an unusual
fierceness in his demeanor, and a strange
fire gleamed from his eye. He took the
tobacco we gave him with great pleasure,
but he was disappointed that our fire-water
was all expended. However, he did not
let that damp his spirits, but talked on
with more than Indian volubility. She-
gashie’s stock of news, for whioh he asked,
was soon exhausted. Poor fellow !he had
little to talk of anything except his beloved
brother, to whose story the stranger lis
tened with contracted brow, but with few
indications of sympathy. In his turn he
treated Shegashie to a number of amazing
and horrible stories which were current in
the woods. I lost the gist of many of
these by not being able to comprehend his
language. But there was one I under
stood somewhat better than the rest, it was
concerning a very fierce Indian called
Mainiskogahjhe, (the Great Red-nailed
Bear,) who came from far beyond the
Great Lake, (Superior,) and who, on his
return home from a hunting expedition,
had found his squaw and children the prey
of cannibal ludians. Enraged at the
sight, this hero fell upon them single
handed, and took the scalps of all except
one. This one had fled ; and, ever since,
Mamiskogahjhe has prowled through the
woods, gnashing his teeth and seeking him
everywhere. The missing Indian had
shrouded himself in every disguise ; “ But
all to no purpose,” said the stranger,
savagely, “ for Mamiskogahjhe slays every
Indian he meets, so that that villiau must
fall beneath his knife at last.”
When I had got over the novelty of the
stranger’s excited manner and gleaming
eye, I became somewhat weary of his
Indian hyperbole ; but Shegashie listened
to every word with breathless attention.—
I was lounging by the fire, more asleep
than awake, when I was aroused by the
stranger abruptly demanding of my guide
if he had ever seen this redoubtable brave,
the great red-nailed bear; to which the
young Indian replied in the negative.
“Liar!” thundered the savage spring
ing to his feet. “I am Mamiskogahjhe !”
and in a moment he stabbed my companion
in the chest.
I sprang upon him in an instant, and
seized his right arm, which by a violent
effort he succeeded in disengaging. He
aimed a deadly blow at me with his knife,
but I evaded it, and drew my own. With
a yell at his disappointment, he began to
draw his tomahawk from his belt with the
view of hurling it at my head; but I
darted upon him, pinioning his arms. His
feet gave way, and we both rolled together
on the snow. A struggle for life succeeded.
The Indian kept making little digk at me
with his knite, but he could not get pur
chase enough!-to do more than pdnetrate
my clo bes and inflict slight wounds upon
me. He rolled over with me, hoping to
get me underneath, but I always rolled
further than he wished, and got on the
upper side again. At length I lost pa
tience ; and still holding his right arm
down tightly, I loosened the hand which
held my knife. But, quick as thought,
Mamiskogahjhe changed his knife into his
left hand also. Then commenced another
rolling and tearing struggle, more like that
of tigers than men, for my foe assailed me
fieroely with his teeth. We stabbed at
each other wildly, and many a wound I
gave and received. At length the Indian
relaxed his hold, and I arose victor.
My first thought now, after a fervent
prayer for my deliveruuce, was for the poor
guide. I found that though desperately
wounded, and bleeding profusely, he was
not dead. I bound up his wounds as I best
could, and placed him on his bed. My
wounds though numerous, were marvelously
slight, more cuts than stabs, and even those
my thick clothing had prevented from
doing much damage; I dressed them, and
heaping more wood on the fire, sank down
beside it to watch my poor Shegashie.
The next morning Shegashie was so
weak from loss of blood that each moment
I expected to see him pass away, and leave
me alone in the woods to die in my turn.
I now bitterly regreted that I had evef
entered on this disastrous enterprise.—
However there I was, and had nothing for
it but to make the best of it j so I set to
work, buried my dead enemy in'a snow
bank, collected wood, shot a hare, dressed
it, and returned to my sad task of watching
my wounded guide.
At the end of ten days, despite every
adverse circumstance, Shegashie was a
great deal better; yet it was evident to
both of us that it would be a long time be
fore he could travel The poor fellow
earnestly entreated me not to stay with
him, but to leave him to his fate ; and he
directed me in the right way to pursue my
journey. I would not have deserted an
enemy thus, much less one with whom I
had faced sorrow, danger, and death. Yet
powder and shot were rapidly failing.
After much cogitation 1 took all the spare
snow-shoes, and by the aid of a bearskin,
succeeded in making a sleigh capable of
holding Shegashie very comfortably, as
well as all our belonging. I rose proudly
the next morning, and, placing my com
panion in the sleigh, re-commenced my
journey.
It was a weary work to drag that clum
scy sleigh, the wasted Indian looking out
now and then to direct me on our way. I
was often obliged to make long detours to
avoid thickets and places where the trees
grew too close to admit my sleigh between
them. Wheu day was done, I had the fuel
to collect, the fire to make, shelter to pre
pare, Shegashie to move, his wounds to
dress, and then the game too cook which 1
had killed during the day. Many a time
I thought 1 should be obliged to give up
the struggle. When I lay down to rest 1
was sometimes so tired that I could not
have resisted another Mamiskogahjhe, had
he come to end the work the first one had
begun, and wheu morning rc-appeared, I
re-commenced my tugging and dragging
with arms so weary, that I did not care if
another snow-storm came and sent us to
sleep till the great day of awakening.
Neither Indian nor snow-storm came,
and I was compelled to go on from day to
day enacting by turns the parts of horsfc,
forager, fire-maker, cook, builder and
nurse. At length I became so exhausted
that one morning, though it was scarcely
mid-day, 1 began to look about me for a
suitable place to encamp for the remainder
of the day and night, hoping, after such a
rest, to start fresher on the following morn
ing. Suddenly, a thin column of smoke,
ascending from the trees at a short dis
tance caught my eye, and turning off from
our route, I made the best of my way to
wards it. It rose from the hut of a newly
arrived settler. The man gave us a hearty
welcome, and we slept beneath a roof, for
the first time for considerably more than, a
month. The next day we put his horse to
the wood train, and two days more brought
us to head-quarters—less, I believe, &r
the reward I promised, than from pity for
our wo»n and miserable condition.
The time appointed for the trial was now
nearly three weeks past, and I did not
doubt that it was over. But the severe
illness of the accused had again deferred
it. The proceedings were only now com
ing to a close, to far, they left on the
minds of those who witnessed them but one
impression—that my poor friend’s military
career was ended. Suddenly I entered
the court, attired in worn-out rags, my face
haggard, my eyes inflamed, my swollen
feet hobbling awkwardly on the floor.
Order restored, my testimony was re
ceived with the greatest attention, and
Lowther was acquitted with honor
Poor Shegashie ! When the spring came,
he left me, and returned by a schooner
to Green Snake River, whence, accompa
nied by his relatives, he travelled down to
the socne of his only brother’s death.—
They dug a deep grave for Chingoos, and
laid him in jt on the spot where his life had
departed. But Shegashie never more re
turned to his native village. Parting from
his relatives at the grave, he returned to
me, and remained with me —a gentle -un
obtrusive, faithful friend —until consump
tion, the bane of his race, took him from
nic a few years ago.
Tnn Shadows of an Awful Winter.
—The followiog eloquent extract is.taken
from a discourse lately delivered by Rev.
E. H. Chapin to his congregation in N. Y :
“ It is not the ruined merchant, merely
—it is not the spectacle of depreciated
property and lost credit, and the manifold
discomforts of usual bankruptcy that most
make us shudder and grow sad. Around
the gloomy shadow there is still a darker
rim. Away down the platform of financial
transactions there looms a sea of facts—
these faces of workingmen and working
women, looking up among the stopped
machinery of the factories, and the silence
of ship-yards, and all the desolations of
suspended labor ; looking up to the shad
ows of an awful Wiuier overcasting them.
Men and brethren, what shall we do for
those whose hard earned dollars are not
merely honor and credit, but bread and
blood, and life itself’ What shall we do
for the poorest of babes, that must soon
hang on the wilted breast of famine, and
for the women for whom we must say some
thing more than “God help them!” Ah, yes,
financial crisis is a matter of tears and shud
dering, as well as arithmetic and rumor.”
’ BUCHANAN,
English Knowledge of America. |
A correspondent of the Utica (N. Y.) i
Herald, writing fcd£ England, furnishes
some amusing instances of tbe ideas many
Englishmen from regarding American
affairs. We extract the following from his
letter:
A very respectable gentleman was re- j
cently mneh astonished to learn that the j
American Government had aided an expe- j
dition in search of Sir John Franklin, and i
innocently asked who was its commander ? ;
Another gentleman remarked that he was |
very sorry to learn that the American wo- '
men habitually indulged in the use of the \
most horrid oaths, and asked me if there
were no exceptions to this unseemly prac- i
tice !
Another gentleman confidentially asked
me it'l had ever been blown up in an Ameri
can steamer, for he understood it was a
common practice for captains to blow np
their boats on purpose as soon as they had
collected fare! Another person wanted to
know if all Americans held slaves ? On
my telling him that some millions of
“ Amerioans” were themselves slaves, he
gave me a look of comic incredulity worthy
of Dan Rice. Another person remarked that
he supposed the different States in Ameri
ca corresponded to the different parishes in
England. A man asked me one day what
progress we were making with the machine
now building in America for flying ; while
another wanted to know if the United
States were hot still under the dominion ' tames black. Attorney nt L«v-Of

(he remarked.) a great country, sir—in
dhed, I might say, a very surprising coun
try, sir; but you have some very queer
ways!” “In what respect V’ I asked. —
“Why, in the first plaae, everybody chews
tobacco, and spits right and left upon rail
road cars and steamboats, so that it is not
safe to wear fine clothing in traveling ; and
then, instead of addressing each other as
‘sir,’ you say ‘old boss,’ and instead of
saying ‘I declare,’ you say ‘I swow,’ and
instead of saying ‘I don’t know,’ you say ‘I
don’t gather.’ ‘Now, do you call that
polite, or even gentlemanly talk ?” “De
cidedly not,” I replied. “And yon believe
that this practice you have been citing,
and this jargon you have' been repeating,
are common in the best American circles V’
“Yes.” “My friend,” I replied, “your
notions of American manners have been
evidently derived from Mrs. Trollope and
the brood of defamers who succeeded her
—a brood which flourished in England at
a time when it was fashionable to sneer at
and lampoon America.” “But,” doggedly
persisted my companion, “I have read the
expressions here quoted in an American
book—a book written by Judge Halburton,
of Philadelphia.” “Why, my dear sir,” I
rejoined, “you have mistaken Sam Slick
for an American classic—for a model of
American style 1” “Ah, now,” added my
interlocutor, reluctant to yield the argu
ment, “I won’t deny now that you do call
baggage plunder!” I gave up in despair.
Aud talking of Sam Slick, do you know
that that humorous delineator of Down
East peculiarities is more read among the
English masses than almost any other
American author ? Another very popular
“American writer” on this side is Dow
Junior, the droll author of the “Patent
Sermons.” Said an Engishman to me one
day, “You Americans are a very smart
people, but somehow you don’t produce
any great writers.” “But we have a few
writers whose names are as familiar as
household words, even to England,” I re
marked. “Very true,” replied my critical
fellow-traveler, “but beyond Mrs. Stowe,
Sam Slick and Dow Junior, what others

this is out of the question, and hence, up

correspondent of one of our papers, who
dates from New York, says :
“ This is a fast age. We not only live
fast, travel fast and die fast, but we are
fast buyers. In the way of extravagance
no former dge ever excelled us. This not
only proves that the country is running
largely to wealth, but also ginger bread
and tinsel. There are dwelling houses in
this city which cost $200,000. To keep
such a house in servants, butchers, balls,
parties and bassoons, runs away with
$30,000 more. livery body seems to he
bent upon making the utmost “splurge”
and rushing to “highfalutin” and gold

paid $4OO for a handkerchief. A shawl
worth $l5OO is quite a “common occur
rence” in this metropolis. Portmonnaies,
set with pearls and diamonds, and costing
from $75 to $3OO, have just been intro
duced by a Paris importer. Fans worth
$6O may be found at Stewart’s by the
dozen. If this fact don’t prove that we
live in a fast age—that we are doing bus
