SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 180!. J. 8. li O ll I) V K 1. L, Hi it r. 'I'HS St. Mary's Gazette, after a alight &ttilt!k of " suspended nnitnation " comes to no with the in. me o( L. J.

Mr. Blakelv'S abilities us n writer, wo have nodouU, will be fully ap preciated by tho people of Elk. Mr. Wade, tho English charge d'Afluirs who succeeds M. Alcock in China, is rcpor. ted to have said recently that J. Ross Urownc was in error in stating tht.t the Chiuesc had made no progress. They had recently established a Foreign Office mid provided for the education of tho youth abroad, and tl is with the appointment til Mr. Uurlinghanie's mission, indicated progress Mr. Wade thinks all Mr. Bur lingamo's treaties will be ratified. Sleei'I.xu Togetiiek. The Lain of Life says : "More quarrels occur betwecu bisters, between brothers, between hired k'irls, between clerks in stores, between ap prentices in mechanirs shops, between hired men, between husbands and wives, owing to electrical changes through which their nervous systems go by lodging togeth er nights under the same bed clothes, thnn ly almost any disturbing cause. There is nothing that will so derange tho nervous fjsteui of a person who is diminutive in nervous force as to lie ell night in bed with uuother person who is absorbent in nervous force. Tho absorber will go to sleep and rest all night, while the eliminator will be tumbling and tossing, restless and nervous and wake up in the morning fretful, peev ish, faultfinding, and discouraged. No two pcrsous, no Walter who they are, should habitually sleep together. One will thrive uud the other will lose. This is the law, and in married life it is defied most uni versally New U. S. Senator. Gov. Chamber lain, of Maine, has filled the vaceucy iu the United Slates Senate occasioned by the death of Mr. Fessendcn by the appointment of Hon. Lot M. Morrill. Mr. M. is a gen tleman of Cue education and large legisla tive experience. By profession a lawyer, Having been admitted to the bar in 1!5'J. In ISol he was a member of the Maine House of Representatives; in 1850 a mem ber of the Senate j in 1858 Governor of the State, to which office he was twice rc-eleo tnJ I,.. iL. T ti- "y me ivepuoucan Parry, lie was chosen Tinted States Seuator in 186i for the unexpired term of Hannibal Ilamliu who had been elested Vice President of the United Stales, and in the same year he was a member of the Peace Congress. Iu 163 he was reelected to the United States Senate, and was a candidate again for the same office last year, l.'ut was beaten by Hannibal Hamlin. He will probably be elected for Mr. Fcssenden's unexpired term by the Legislature, which meets in January next, although ho will have formidable op ponenU in the persons of Speaker Blane, General Shcply, and it is said, Governor Chamberlain. A Temporary Dissolution. politi cal cotemporary says that "the Richmond Whi'j docs not speak to the' Northern Dew ocrats in au overencouragcing way. It thinks that one effect of Ohio and Penn sylvania elections will be the temporary dis solution of "the Democratic party." How many Buch "temporary dissolutions" the party will be, able to stand with the least hope of subsequent reconstruction, we d3 not undertake to determine. It was "dis solute" enough before, the Lord knows. If a man were sick unto death it would be real cold comfort if a freind should approach his bedside and kindly whisper : 'The soon er you die the better lor you. Don't be frightened it's only temporary." . It's 'discouraging,' certainly, but the sooner you go through with it the better. You have no idea how fresh add lively you will feel after it. So just go ahead with your dying, my good fellow, you will be sound man to.morrow." Whether the Wh'j will see in the November elections any reason to reconstruct its rather mournful diagnosis of the condition of the Democratic party and give it a temporary respite from "tempora. ry disolution," we know not yet. As, how ever, the Democratic roostets were not suf ficiently exhilerated by tho news, from New York and Maryland to come forth and flop their wings as of yore, it is rather doubtful whether the Whig will find much comfort iuit.

The Public Ledger has a regular daily edition of over seventy thousand copies, which is believed to be the largest circula tion of auy dally newspaper in the world, with but one exception1. During October $2,000,000 in treasure was exported from San Francisco. The emigrant travel over the Pacific railroad is rapidly increasing. A few bights since, as the bight express on tho New York Central road was near Amsterdam, a baby, who was looking out of an "pen window, gave a spring, and iu an instant fell from its mothers arms to the ground. The affrighted mother, without a thought of danger, rushed to the door and leaped from the train. As soon as possible the cars were stopped and backed to. the spot, where every one expected to learn of the fatal injury of both mother and child. Hut, strange to say, neither was hurt, ex. eept that the baby had a slight bruse on the head. The mother stated that as she saw the child go out of the window, her only thought was that she "wanted the baby." "What can a womau do ?"

JOSH blLLISGS PAPERS. rUDDIN AND Mlt.K. Love is sed to be blind, but I know lots of phellows in love who kan see twice as much in their galls as I kan. The miser in a riddle, What he poses sea he haint got, and what he leaves behind him ho never had. Good phisick is like a fiddle it furnish es the t'ino while nature cuts the pigeon wing and cures the patient. Caution, though very often wasted, is a good risk to take. Pity is about the meanest wash that one can offer another. I had. rather have a ten dollar greenback tjiat had boen torn in two twice and pasted together, than to have all the pity there iz on the upper side of the earth pity is nothing more than a quiet satisfaction that I am a great deal better oph thao you nm, and that I inteud to keep so. Fortune iz like a coquette, if you don't run after her she will run after you. Did you ever hear a very rich man sing ? If I was going to paint a pie-ktur of Faith, Affection and Honesty, I would paint mi dog lookiug up iu mi face and wag. gen his lail. The devil is a mean kuss; he never keeps his own promises, but always makes us keep ours. Truth h az artless az a child and az pur swasive. There iz nothing iu this life that men pay so hi u pi ice for az they do tor rpuiit ance. Laws ore made, customs grow laws hev to be executed, customs execute them selfs laws begin where customs end. Mcu who have a good deal to say use the fewest words The road tew wealth iz a highway, but the road to knowledge iz a bye way. Shame iz tho dicing embers of virtue. I doQ't know of a better kurc for sorrow than to pity somebody else. Experience is a grinstun. and it iz lucky for us if we kan get brightened by it, not ground. We shouldn't forget one thing, that the:re is not a single fee simple ou this fut stoo! j even the best tooth in our head may fall to akiu before sun set and have to be jerked out. Ignoranee is the wet nuss of prejudice. Anticipation is constantly nibbling ex pekted pleasure until it consumes it; jiss so the skoolboy who visited his basket du ring the forenojn too often has already dis kouotcd his dinner. I never knu a man taoublcd with mclau kolly who had plcuty to dew, and did it. Good breeding, az I understand if, iz giving evciy man his dew wi;hout robbing yourself. Natur iz jist as honest as a cow. Talk little, but listen out bud, young man, is tho way to make the compauy sus pekt you of knowing a grate deal more than you aktually do. If you should reduce the wants of the people ov Nu York city down tew aktual ucceesitys, and plain comforts, yu. wood have to double the perlice force tew keep them from committing sulciJo. People, when they find fault with their. sells, are generally moro auxious to bo consoled than forgiven, and, therefore, when a man begins to confess hiz sins to me, und sez, "rtiere uiu't uo hope for him," I tell him he ought to know awl about it, and I guess he is more than half right. What the world wants iz good examples, not so much Advice may be wrong, but ex amples prove themsells. Pride iz bogus. Adam at one time had a rsght tew be proud, bnt he let siu beat him out of hiz birthright. A crowing hen and a cackling ruestcr are very mcsfortunate poultry iu a family. Az a ginral thing, a man who marrys a a woman ov more uppcrcrust than himself will find the woman more anxious tew pre serve the distance between them than tew bring him up tew her grade or go dowu to his level. Titles are valuable ; they make us sc. quainted with menny persons who othter- ise vould be lost among the rubbish. Peace iz the soft and holy shadier that virtew casts. Habbits are like the wrinkles on a man's brow, if you will smootbe out the - one, i will smoothe out the other. It is a darned 6ight easier tew find six men who kan tell exactly how a thing ought to be did than tew find one who w ill do it Marrying for money is a meaner way tew t it than counterfitting. Dispatch is takiug time bi the ears. Hurry iz taking it bi the end ov tho tail. The miser who heaps up grains tew gloat over iz like a hog in a pen fatted for a show. "How did you manage to get along in Paris without knowing the French' lan guage?" inquired a gentleman pt Mrs. Shoddy.

One of the few really successful enter prises ot the day is UbO. PLUMMKK &, CO 8 One Dollar Sale. Their svstera offers a greater opportunity for tho purchase of me inousona ana one utelul articles, at a price that' comes within the reaoh of all classes, than any other. It is a well understood fact that certain classes of goods pay the dealer a very large percentage ui prone. J his appears almost necessary, especially in Fancy Goods, Jew elry. Silver-plated Ware. Ac, of which a dealer does not sell sufficient of any one article to make it an object of trade, and is obliged to purchase in small qusntites; and when the goods are sold bv three nr four different classes of merchants, and each charge a very large profit, the price becomes double the original cost of manufacture before reaehing the hands of the pcopl. It is in such goods Jen. A. Plummer & Co., 40 Hanover Street. Boston deal most extensively. Their sales are so immense they make each article a specialty, often buying all a manufacturer can produce. Their sys tem gives universal satisfactron. Read their advertisement. The Secretary of the Commonwealth hav ing been pestered with an extensive corres pondence originating with justices of the peace and aldermen throughout the State, requests the perempory statement that no commissions will bo sent to, or made out, tor the newly elected aldermen or justices of the pnaee prior to the time at which com missions were formerly issued. The registry law only changed the time of election5, not the terms of the officers formerly chosen at tne spring election. Their commissions will not be forthcoming for some six months. Gov. Hoffman struck his finst attitude as a 'residential aspirant, in a speech at Al bany. on Saturday last. He promises many wnnueimi tilings; tne most strange thiog beius; that he is uoing to make the New York Legislature porfectly honest in the hands of a Dinncra'.ie majority in both branches, tie, however, made no promise to reform the immense rascalities practiced by his party friends in New York city, where, per haps, therp is more room for reform than in any ether locality in Christendom.
