PBoreseioNAL Loafeks. Tbe large num. ber of professional loafers in our town is a subject of frequent remutk. Daily they can be Keen loafing about the principle corners, seated upon boxes and door stoops, or in drinking saloons, waiting for somebody who bus money to "stand treat. There are score of loafers iu our town whose only 'aim is to get all they can without working or paying for it. But the mod detested of thi class is the grog shop loafers, who not only ask you to treat bim to a "nip, but 111 the most pleasing manner imaginable, ask joo if you would be kind enongh to lend him a quarter. Sucb pests are a dingrace and a nuisance to society. There should be a work bouse where they might be kept from tormenting society. fP The Gui.o Fever.

The weather, for the last few days, wa all that could ba desired, even for May, when May was lent fickel than of late year. This sudden advent of summer bad taken many by inrpris who were Dot altogether pre. pared for the change. But to day there is another change, clondy, cold and windy, in volving all outward things in a wintry gloom, And such is life in this sahlanary sphere. In the political world there it nothing new The candidate for the Presidency ate all making preparations, it their own way, and tbe contest will soon become warm aad in teresting. It has become fashionable of late years lor Presidential candidate to go abroad. Guv. Howard, following the exam pies of hi predecessors, sailed from ibis port on Saturday. A large nuaiber of hi friends, In several steamers, accompanied him out as far a the narrows, or as the Governor re marked, in his farewell speech, to tbe "gate of the ocean." Tbis demonstration, even if tbe speeches on the occusiou bad been less pointed, indicated a determination cn tbe part of bis friends to bring bim out at once as a Candidate, ou tbo Republican platfoiiu. Governor Seward in, unquestionably, one of the ablest men iu the country, but his ex treme views ou the question of slavery, reu der bim exceedingly nupopular wilu many moderate men of his ow n party. It was predicted during the lust Presiden tial canvacs that the next election for Presi dent would turn 'entirely upon the question of slavery, and that ul) other iosues would be set aside and absorbed iu that excitiug and important subject. That such will be the ease is, already, plainly evident. Within few years past the Southern V lug Mates viz: Kentucky, Tennessee, Nertb Carolina aud Deluwure, have become Democratic while on the other hand the Northern and Western Democratic States of Maine, New Hampshire and Iowa, have become strongly Republican. This has been the tendency of iho various conflicting interests for several years past and the deplorable and suicidal Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanan, has only hastened the crisis. Some of the Lecompton Democrats are exulting over tbe farce enacted by the Illinois Slate Central Comniitte, in attempt Ing to read JuJue Dnnglns out of the party This eamn party attempted to defeat tho Judge last fall. But when Jud:o Douglas went before the people they were over whelmed with defeat. Tbry ttiould shake bauds with the Tyler State Central Commit tee of Pennsylvania, which indorsed the Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanan, when the, knew that" not a dozen intelligent, honest aud independent men in the State approved of it. The appointment, by the President, Chevalier Wykoff, as be is called, .as a kind of tender to the mission in China, has caused ! a good deal of mirth as well as surprise. Tbe Chevalier is notorious for his persecution of Miss Lauible, a wealthy American heiress traveling in Europe, whom he insisted ou marrying, and was tent to prison for his impertinence. lie afterwards wrote a history of hi courtships, adding to bis notoriety if not to bis character. Such appointments may be right in these degenerate days, but if tbe test of Mr. JeOuisou wus aMopteil, "Is be houest, is be capable t" M r. W koll wonld never have been beurd of, except as en un principled adventurer. Tbe coal agency which the President pave to hi friend Gluncy Jones, to be divided among three of his (Jones) supporters, hus been abolished. That affair wus so glaringly foul that it be came necessary to wipo it out iu this way. A few days siuce I called in. while passing to tuko a look at tha New York Ledger oQice. Mr. Bonner, the proprietor, is cer tainly an astonishing man in his enterprise, and bus done more -to convince the skeplicul iu regard to the importance of advertising, than any other man. Ia order to print his immeuse edition of over three hundred thou suud he employ eleven large cylinder presses, worfced by steam This requires, of course, a form for every press. But the type are set up but once, and are only used lor stereoiy piug.every form being a solid stereotype plate copper fuced. Those except one to print back numbers are all broken op and melted over agaiu. Mr. Pettetigill, eo well known to tbe Press of the whole country, as an efficient aud reliable advertising agent, kwho accompanied me, 6tated that Mr. Banner's advertising, due for the present year, with bim, amounted to thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars, and that he received from bim lust fall, a check for seventeen thousand dollars, to close the balance of that years account. Mr. Bonner success only serves to show that there is scarcely any limit to human enterprise. In the musical or theatrical world, there is always something worthy of notice in this great metropolis with its numerous theatres, opera houses, aud other places of amusement. Picolomiui, the uprightly youthful and beau tiful Italian songstress, is bear again, but will leave for England in June. Several of the Roman Catholic churches, in New York are noted for their fine music. Indeed their is quite a rivalry between tbe Jesuit's Church iu Sixteenth Street near the Fi'lb Avenue, and the Church on Twenty eighth Street iu their operatic performances. I visited tbe former church last Sunday af ternoon. It is un unostentatious buildiug, plain ar,d gloomy in tbe interior, lacking the air of cleanliness and comfort, peculiar to the modern Protestant Churches, to say uothing of the luxoiiuus splendor of the more wealthy. Tbe congregation seemed to be in keeping with the church, though made up of many of the most wealthy citizen, prany of them foreigners, and of Spanish origin. St'aodiug at the door ways, aud in tbe aisles, I observ ed a Dumber of handsomely dressed and in telligent looking young ladies evidently out ide heretics I ke myself attracted thither by tbe charm i f superior music Iu which Catho lic, Churches mostly excel. The organ i at the end elevated above the galleries. The or gaoist cam a few yean ago from Europe, and isseij to be one of th best performer living. Tha service consist mostly of music- and much ol it appear to be made op from elec tions of th most popular opera. Soma ol tha passage war beautifully executed, and it required co great stretch of tha imagiua tion for on to imagine himself in tha Acade my of music, lisWuiDg to, the master pic of Verdi or Rossini by tha best performer. Tbe lata news from Europe dicpeli almost every hop of peace. The alliance of Louia Napoleon witb the Emperor of Rn;nia, La greatly alarmed England and Dot without cause. Tbe whole history of the French Emperor, show that he I determined to Imitate bis great uncle, and fight hi way to fame and distinction or die la tbe attempt. fri"" Hint koh Una Ube. A cotempora. ry has furnished in what follow some most useful bints for home application t We have nothing to object to that honorable and self reliant spirit which place a man above the trick and artifice of trade. ' By being too officious and importunate, a merchant may unquestionably injure his p'osition with tbe careful and prudent buyer. "Yet there are certain modes of obtaining proper notoriety- and keeping one's self before the public which no sensible man should neglect, if be would keep his old friend and obtain new ones. J be newspaper has become a daily directory.' Tbe first columns over which the business man casts his eye, as be opens tb sheet, are those which display the character of tho merchandize iu the market, tbe place where various articles may be found, and the term on which they may be purchased. Whoever 1 not here represented, is at a disadvantage in comparison with bis more alert and cntorprising neighbors. He suffer other to cut him of!' from public view; an J though he may retain the chief part of bis old customers, there are some even of those whose attentiou will be diverted from bim while new men ure very spt to be drawn to such establishments as keep themselves be fore the public eye.

And by making tbis fact patent through the columns of a commercial newspaper, they se cure iu the read. est and most rojier way, tbe uttenliou of their immediate fellow-citizens as well as visiAirs to the city. A Sharp Tran."aItion. A shoe dea ler named Henry Moars, has beeu swindling his creditors at Toledo, Ohio, ufter the fol. lowing eharp fusliiou. lie gave out that Li brother was dead, closed bis store and lied crape on the door. The Blade, issued a few days since, soys : To-day- however, strange to relate, the crane wus Mill waivii.u Ik In tho shoemaker's dour, and no signs ol life were visable about the estaOlislnnuiit. Suspicion was perhaps started by the noticeable fact that a very small portion of crape was allowed for his brotherly mourning demonstration, coupled witb the report thut certain friends of his were "severely bound" by certain iustrumonts of writing, much to their pecuniary disadvan tage in case of any "accident," and an exam ination of the premises wan resolved 011. "'Twus said 'twusdone, and lo 1" a beggar ly account of empty boxes, and a stock of boots uud shoes nun est, proved to be the only remains for which the crape did duty.
