• Tho stage in whioh I was a passenger had
.'stopped to change horses, and “feed” the pas
sengers, at a small town in Vermont, and, tlin
merover.wo wore awaiting the arrival of a stage
‘upon, an intersecting route, to proceed upon our
journey. : Cigars had been lighted, and, by way
r«f our time, we had oommencod a crit

t“Napoleon of Showmen, ” and tho' Woolly

were not forgotten in the discussion which fol
. lowed. ■ ■
. Suddenly a long, slab-aided individual, with
an owl-like : expression of wisdom:and digni

with an evident desiro to tako a hand, broke

you all the items. ■ They aan’t humbug mb very
often, and when they do, I cal’latc to advertise
for ’em till I get square.” -
In a few minutes we were under headway,
and onr verdant friend commenced unbosoming,
himself. ’
“Ter see, Barnum was a going to show his
caravan down to Springfield, Fourth of July,
and I thought tltcro’d be a good chance to sec
the elephant and celebrate the day, bothatonc’t.
What I wanted to see more than all the rest
was the Car of Jugglonot, drawn by a string of
elephants ?’’
” “Did it meet your expectations ?”
- “I never seen ono side of it. Before I got in
town, they’d got all through paradin’, the ele
phants was unharnessed, and the. Car of Jug
glenot t was into a woodshed. I made up my
mind fight off, then, that the hull eonsam was a
humbug.”
“Was Barnum aware,” I asked, “that you
were to bo in town ?”
“Not as I know,” was the answer.
“If he had known it,” added the Major, “lie
Would doubtless have waited. But yon visited
the exhibition, I suppose ?”
“Of course ; I was bound to do that, if it bust
me. That was a bigger humbug than oil tho
rest.
“How so?”
“ Why, in the first place, I expected to seo Jen
ny Lina.”
“ Was she announced in the bills ?”
“I don’t know; I didn’t read cm, but I axed
the man that stuck up the picters if she’d bo
there, and he said yes, and that she’d sing tho
bird song standin’on top of a cage of cocatoos
. and parrots, Sho won’t there, and I never seen
one-side of her and then Iknow’d thewholecon

“ Well then, I went round and took a look at
the elephants—bad bard work to get round, tn;
there was morin a hundred thousand people in
the tent. Finally I got where they was, and
folks were all feedin’ 'em with apples and cakes.
and things. I had some dooghnnts in my hat,
so I held it oat to one of the darned things, to
soe if he’d take one.”
“ Did he take one ?”
‘. “He took 'em all, and the hat tu, Btnck’cmin

hollered to tho keeper, .and fold him it was a
bran new hat. . He said never mind, he'd get it

“ Did be get it?”

Itookalook at Tom Thumb, and tho Ceylond

never .want to drink again. He said he wished

: “ Take it olUnalt, though, I ws^mad; I didn’t

THE WHIG ASPIRANTS.
Not having any difficulties to scttlo in our own
political household, feeling very confident that
our very large family aro living harmoniously
together, we have a little time left before the
result of tho Baltimore. Convention is known, to
endeavor to calm the broils that aro daily occur
ring among our neighbors. They are acting bad,
very bad. With a singular infatuation they aTe
proclaiming that they will divide the house, and
wo know from high authority that “a house di
vided against itself” cannot stand.. The Journal
of Commerce, a paper that has a strong Whig
bias, gives tho following information:
"Tho Scott men arc well organized, and expect
to bo able to defeat any proposition iq tho Na
tional Whig Convention in support of tho com
promise measures, and especially of the fugitive
slave law. They do not hesitate to dcclaro that
they will not adopt any- resolutions in support of
the Compromise, and they will nominate Gen.
Scott as an unpledged -candidate. Gen. Scott
will not avow his opinions on that subject, cither
before his nomination or before his election.
“There is still some hope that this scheme
will be prostrated by the Convention itself. It
will be, nniess those who havo been chosen del
egates as Fillmore men Bhould go for Scott, nnd
against the compromise resolutions, In caso of
the defeat of those resolutions, a largo body of
the delegates, including two.thirds of those from
the South, will withdraw. Another convention
will be held, and will nominate Mr. Webster or
Mr. Fillmore, or some other out-and-out compro
mise man. Tho result will be the utter defeat
of Gen. Scott, and perhaps the defeat of the
election before the people.
.This confirms the truth of what we published
a few days sinco,—that tho Whig convention
weald not act in harmony and that the friends
of some one of the candidates would withdraw
and make a seperate nomination.
The. insolent tone of tho abolitionists, who ral
ly around Scott, has provoked ao opposition that
will prove his ruin. If bis wbig friends had a
tithe of the sense of ordinary men, they wonld
never have permitted him to foil into the hands
of these Philistines, or suffered them to deprive
him of tho right of speech on great national
questions.
We have no doubt but there aro many Soott
men who do not affiliate with Seward and tho
other abolitionists, and who are sincerely in fa
vor of protecting tho rights of all the States and
enforcing the laws as they exist. But they havo
been lamentably careless in protecting their fa
vorite from the snares that were sot for him by
a few crazy fanatics, into which ho has entan
gled himself without a hope of escaping. He
eannotsccede now. Onto day is paßtwhcn ho
might tako an equally favorable position on the
great question that agitates tho country with the
other candidates, and now he must stand his
ohauoo With whatever aid the abolitionists con
bring.
- - He may get a nomination, but it will bo an
empty honor, and tho only support ho can ex
pect to receivo'Will oome from tho “joggling
fiends” who persuaded him to conceal itis opin
ions from the people.
There is one thing in which we feel conifident
the writer of tho above paragraph iB greatly mis
taken; that is, tho defeat of the election before
the people. Wo have not tho slightest fear that
such will bo the result of tho next presidential
election. As certain as the dny.of. election comes
round, the people sum eießt a Preoitient, and ho
will be the democratic candidate. We care not
who the whigsmay or Fillmore;
wo care not whether they fight like “cats and
dogs,” or act harmoniously together, the demo
cratic candidate is bound to bo elected in spite of
all opposition. The minds of tho people aro al-‘
ready fixed, and they have resolved that a dem-'
ocrat shall take possession of the White Honso;
on the 4th of March next. > ,
The silly, time-serving policy of Scott when ho
was first spoken of as a candidate, his subse
quent non-committalism, and his present collu
sion with the abolitionists; have disgusted all
right-thinking men, and, even if tho Convention
should be so packed as to give him a nomination,
ho will fall at the election without the'hope of
redemption.
Fillmore is no better off than his competitor.
The corruption that has been tolerated under his
administration—tho wholesale robbing of the
pooplo thut has been practiced with impunity,
has alarmed the nation, and the resolution has
gone forth; that he is unworthy of the confidence
of tho people.
The country, as heretofore, whoaover it was
wronged and embarrassed by the misrule of
whiggery, now looks to the domooraoy to retrieve
it from tho evils it has had to induio for tho last
four years. This will bo done, and next Novem
ber a brighter sun will 'appear-in tho political
horizon.
Misebabee Kaos.— The Zanesville Courier is
down upon tho Board of Control.and the Ports
mouth Bfanoh Bank for putting into circulation
a miserably executed batch of $lO bills. The
Courier says the bills are pronounced genuine,
but they “exhibit the dirtiest fate and tho mean
esfappearancJ’ of auyissuo of bank bills we have
ever yet seen.
The veriest bungler, can easily counterfeit
them. The only difficulty he; conld have would
be in making the counterfeits look as bad as the
genuine. ,

ACsxcblation or k Fixlmoer Whig.—A Fill
more Whig, in the New York Express, differs
considerable, in his calculation, from one re
cently published by n friend of Scott. He* is'
confident of the nomination of Mr. Fillmore by
• the Whig Contention, on the-2d or 80Jballot,and
claims the whole South,, except Delaware, siz:
dlfl-rto which he adds 2 for Hamp
shire 2, Conneoticut S,■ Vermont'l, Hhbdo leland
1, New York -7, New Jersey 2, Indiana 2, Illinois
8, lowa 2, Wisconsin 1, Michigan 1, and Califor
nia 2—in all 147, being within 2of a majority ;
which he thinks will easily be obtained from the
18 pledged Webster delegates already elected,and
the 5 Webster delegates yet to bo elected from
Massachusetts.
The calculation looks plausible, but still he
might be mistaken. “There is many a slip” &c.
Occasionally (says the - Springfield-Re
publican) tho Devil will show his hoofs in tvmant
ner that one would imagine would shamohis best
friends. Edward Quincy, of -Dedham, has writ
ten odotter to tho Anti-Slavery Standard, in which
ho alludes to the late accident to Mr. Webster in
a.vein of scoundrelism that wehave rarely seen
equalled. Wequoto: ■
“On the Marshfield farmer’s way from the
nearest station to his houBC, ho was thrown from
his carrioge; .but, such being the Whig fate, ho
did.not break his neck I No ! The ancientpro
phocy was fulfilled, and the serpent only bruised
his head. Possibly, however, as ho fell on his
fnoe, he may have agreeably varied his diet by
eating some Northern dirt. Had the news only
arrived that he was out: of tlie way, the onion
market might have arisen, newspapers would
have been edged with black, a portentous funer
al would have blackened the Btreets; Mr, Choate
would have lied over him liko a bulletin or an
epitaph, or what is the same thing, an eulogy;
but what a relief it would havo been! ”
B@»Tho editor of tho Erie Advertiser, a Scott
paper, talks liko a prudent man ■ in defining his
position on the presidential question. . He soys:
Should Con. Scott reoeive the nomination at
that Convention, we will join with a full and
glad heart in the shout that will greet its an
nouncement. Should Fillmore or Webster bo
fairly nominated, wo will feel -as a good and:
steadfast Whig to yield him as hearty a support
as wc would expect to see yielded to the candi
date of our choice, if nominated by thoso who
call themselves Compromise.
This is tho safe and honest way for a political
editor to talk, and wo would advise our neighbor
of tho Qazotto to commit it to memory nnd ro»:
fleet upon it before ho writes another growing
article against Fillmore because the Adminis
tration don’t give him pap. It will do his polit
ical stomach good.
Fatal Sickness os the Riveb.—On the stea
mer falcon that arrived yesterdayfrom-Now Or
leans there was considerable sickness among the
deck passengers, and four died during the trip.
Four others were taken to the Hospital quite
sjek. The disease was not cholera, but' a spe
cies of ship fever, as was stated by thephysioiaus
at the hospital who examined the sick men.—
There was a good many dock passengers on the
boat, which was rather poorly vontillatcd, and
where the boat reached-Mill’e.Point abargowas
taken in tow, onto which tho deck passengers
were transferred, and an immediato abatement
of the disease was observed. —toumilU Courier.
This fearful disease, ship fever, appears to bo
very prevalent on tho boats below, and is gradu
ally approaching to our city. Its advance ehonld
admonish the Board of Health' to -tako prompt
tneasares to prevent its entering among ns.
Sickness ox the Plains.—Wc lcaru from St.
Louis that - oonsidcroblo sickness is prevailing
among tho California emigrants on tbo plains.—
It is reported that eight or nino- persons had
died in one train, and it was also asserted that
tho cholera had made its uppcaranco among the
members of another company shortly after they
left Fort Leavenworth, and nine or ten deaths
had taken place, and a large number wero down
with-tho opidemic. The reports excited great
alarm among the emigrants that hod not yet
started from St. Joseph and Weston, and some
of them had turned baok rather than encounter
tho terrible scourge.
ru&imxn PnoPEUTiEs or Cofflt..—The Eng
lish Medical Gazette asserts that roosted coffee
has a peouliar power to overcomc.offcnsivo odors.
Charcoal has been known to have great absorb
ing power, and this may be the. secret of tho
matter. It is stated that a room in which meat
in an advanced degree of decomposition had been
kept was instantly deprived of all smell on an
open coffee roaster being carried through it, con
taining a pound of coffee newly roasted. In an
other room, filled with offensive effluvium. tho
Btench was completely removed within half a min
ute on the employment of three ounces of fresh
roosted coffee.
The Cnurs.—Wo aro gratified to learn from
many of oar country friends, that tho present
appearance of wheat, rye, and grass, give prom
ise of a very abundant harvest. Some think that
it is too iuxurient, and that before tho time for
gathering it arrives, it will “lodgo.” The oats
thus far is getting on lino, and from all appear
ances we think our farmers will recoive a rich
reward for their industry. Many supposed that
on account of tho backwardness of tho Bpring
season, the harvest would bo late; but we nrc
told by farmers that tho crops will ho ready for
cutting about tho usual time.

bo included the Hydro-path, the Allo-path, and
the Homoea-poth ? This is a question for medi
cal students.
The apple crops throughout West Jersey, it is
said, have never been more promising. From
present indications, if not injured by frost; the
trees will be literally loaded with fruit.
A Frcnoh proverb saysHeavon sent us wo

Thousands of acres of bottom land, and
even wheat and grazing land have been submer
ged by a rise of two or three feet in the water of
Lake Winnebago, caused by the raising of -dams
at Nocnah and Menasha, preventing tho usual
amount of water from escaping through the low

Tbo Profita of Good Farming.
The New York State Agricultural Sooiety are
in the habit of awarding, at their annnnl meeting,
premiums for the most successful management
of farms.- In 1810, the second of theeo pre
miums, a silver cup, valued at thirty dollars,
was. taken by Daniel D. T. Moore, Esq., of Wa
torvloit, Albany county. The written state
ment of his operations, mado under oath,
is very full and interesting; and we wish we had
room to present it to our readers withont abridge
ment. His success is enough to make the old
fashioned formers fairly to open their eyes with
astonishment, and shows what skill and energy,
and perseverence may accomplish. . ne is grow
ing rich on tho earne land whero others have be
come poor.
His farm consists of ono hundred and eighty
five acres, situated upon the light sandy 6oil
near Albany. For fifty years before it came
into his possession, it had been under a
lease, and for a portion of that time, in the
market. The tenants hold it only from
year to year, and consequently had no in
centives to make improvements:. Each one
worked it upon the principle of realizing, the
greatest profit at the least expense. Under the
system of exhaustion, it became so reduced,
that the last tenant considered it no longer
worth the rent of a hundred dollars, for tho
whole yearly sales of produce. were only about
four times that amount, the buildings and fen
ces were in a ruinous condition; the few fruit trees
were old and diseased ! and a; good part of the
premises were allowed to ran to wasto.
Mr. Mooro purchased in opposition to the nd
vico of his fnends, and in November, 1845, he
took possession. He was unprepared to pay
down the whole of the purchase money, so that
he has been obliged to pay as interest, more than
tho former occupant had paid as rent. The
dwelling-house ho sold for $5O, but the barn was
worth so little, that ho tore it down. Ho then
erected comfortable and substantial bnildings,
and commenced enclosing tbo tract with a post
and board fence. In five years time ho has suc
ceeded in rendering the soil ns fertile and pro
ductive os the very best in his vicinity, and as
wo have seen above, has taken a premium from
the State Bocicty for his good management.
The total receipts in 1850 amounted to over
four thousand eight hundred dollars ; and the
profits, after deducting the farm and family ex
poses, exceeded twenty-six hundred dollars!
Such an instance of success should bo known
over the whole country. Farming is too often
loohed upon as a poor business, not adapted to
porsonsof intelligence and enterprise. Yonng
men flock to the city in crowds, in tho hope of
bettering their condition; while those who re
main under tbo paternal roof, nover take an in
terest in thoir occupation, and nrc content with
a mere subsistence. Those who fail in farming
would probably fail in other and “ more respect
able ” pursuits, but many that make capital far
mers, would prove poor merchants. Commerce
is n gigantic lottery ; where at least ninety-five
out of a hundred, draw blanks; the prizes are
magnificent, bnt they arc fow in number. The
soil is a faithful servant, whioh will restore the
five talents, with other five which they have
gained. Its rewards are slow, but Bure; itgives
a living to ail, and to skill, forethought, and
iron-hearted industry, and unflinching persover
ance, it offers a competence—moderate, yet suf
ficient. Let the farmer possoss tho ecorot of sne
0083—good management—and ho need never
complain of ill lack, or grumble at caprices of
fortune.
From jho Ohio Farmer,
" The Orchard.
Plant among your trees; plant among yonr
Inti; then after you have token off your cern
anil other crops, you can look bach upon your
shorn field and sco that in addition to the pro
duce secured, you have the growth on your three
or four acres of trees. In a few years you will
begin to take more from tho trees than you do
from the land. They will grow fast and boar
generously, if-, the land is all‘kept mellow for:
the roots and sufficient nutriment is spread
broadcast for tho roots to feed upon.
' Now to take tho level place, where you hare:
yonr young orchard, and go carefully to work
with o steady team—don't hitch on the steers for
this joh—plow the land deep and well, manure
it, broadcast liberally, work the manure down
into the soil with a small plow or large Cultiva
tor, plant, hoe, till, and your trees will grow
like the com itself. Yon will caution the boys
in dropping tho com not to plant a kernel within
six or eight feet of tho trees. They need sun
and air, and grow better when nothing else
grows very near to them.
Just read what the late Mr. Cole say s'in tho
“American Fruit Book:"
“Mr. Moses Jones, of Brookline, in this vicin
ity, n most skillful cultivator, set 112 apple
trees, two rods apart, and peach trees between,
both ways. The eighth year he had 228 barrels
of apples, and lb a few years from Setting the
trees, $4OO worth of peaches in one year; and
the best of the store is, that largo Crops of veg
etables were raised on the same land, nearly
paying for the manure and labor. The tenth
year from setting, many of the apple trees pro
duced four or five barrels of apple's esob, the
land still yielding-good crops of vegetables,”
F. S. Cle aver'a ‘Prize Cleiln.l Honey Soap.’
IC T Thislnvaluable arlicle, whichobiaincd the Prize
Medal at the late World’s Fair, in London, has taken
the place of all similar compositions ; and the demand
is so great (or its immediate use, that it is with difficulty
supplied by the Inventor. Its fragrant, refreshing and
softening qualities, and the smooth and while appear
ance which it irapartn to the hands and face, are slri
kingly obvious to all who use it. A single trial of this
article will amply prove its superiority over all others'
of ii similar character. .
