Tie Dog Noble, and the Empty Hole.
»r hewbt w>bd bskoheb.
The first summer which we spent in Lenox,
we had along a very intelligent dog named
iYoWe. He was learned in many things, and
by. his dog-lore excited the undying admira
tion of all the children. But there were some
things which NobU could npver learn, Hav
ing oa one occasion seen a red squirrel run
lltlaa hole in a stone wall he could not bo
puisuaded that he was not there for evermore.
Several red squirrels lived close to the
house and had become familiar, but not tame.
They kepi up a regular romp with Noble,
They would come down from the maple trees
wjih provoking coolness; they would run
along the fence almost within reach, they
would cock their tails and sail across the road
to (he barn'; and yet there was such a well
timed calculation under all this apparent
rashness, that Noble invariably arrived at
(be critical spot just as the squirrel left it.
On one occasion Noble was so close upon
bra red backed (Vieiid that, unable lo gel up
the maple nee, he dodged into a hole in the
wall, ran through ihe chinks, emerged at a
(idle distance, and sprung into the iree. The
intense enthusiasm of the dog at (hat hole can
hardly be described. He filled it full of bark
ing, He pawed and scratched as if under
mining a bastion. Standing off at a little
distance he would pierce the hole with gaze
Of intense and fixed as if he were trying mag
netism on it. Then with tail extended, and
every hair thereon electrified, he would rush
at the empty.hole with a prodigious onslaught.
This Imaginary squirrel haunted Noble
night and day. The very squirrel himself
would run up before his face into the tree,
and crouched ta a crotch, would sit silently
watching the whole process of bombarding
(he empty hole, wkh great Sobriety and relish.
But Noble would allow of no doubts. His
conviction .that that hole had i squirrel in
continued unshaken for six weens, winn
|ll other occupaiions failed this hole remained
to him. When there wereno more chickens
(•harry, no pig* to tala, no cattle to chase,
M children (o. romp with, dp expeditions to
make with the grown folks, oik l ho had
■lept all that his dog-skin would hold, he
would walk out in the yard, yawn and stretch
himself, and then looking wistfully at the hole,
mif thinking lo himself. “ Well if there is
nothing else to do I may as well try that hole
again.”
We had almost lorgotten this little trait,
until the conduct of the New York Exprett,
m respect to Col. Fremont’s religion brought
it ludicrously to mind again. Col. PremOnl
ia, and always has been, as sound a Protest
ant aa John Knox ever was. He waa bred in
the Protestant faith and has never been
changed. He is unacquainted with the tjoc
(fines and ceremonies of the. Catholic Church,
Md ha* never attended that Church withtwo
fit three exceptions, when curiosity, or some
extrinsic reason, led him as a witness. We
(In nolslote this upon vague belief. We know
what we soy. We say it upon our.own per
sonal honor and proper knowledge. Col.
Fremont never was, and ia not now, « Roman
Catholic. Ha baa never been wont to attend
that Church. Nor has he in any .way, di
rectly or indirectly, given occasion for (bis
report.
it is • gratuitous falsehood, utter, barren,
absolute, and unqualified. The story has
been got up (or political effect. It instill cir
culated for that reason, sod like other political
lies, it u« sheer, unscrupulous falsehood,
6om,top (o bottom, from the core to theski a,
and frbinjhe skin back to the core again.- In
all its parts, to pulp, tegument, rind, cell and
ated, it is a thorough and total untruth, and
they who spread u bear falsa witness. And
as fo all the stories of the Fulmer, etd„ as |o.
supposed conversations with Fremont, in
which be defended the mass, and what npi,
they are pure fictions. They never happened.
The atahotaof them are slanderers, the.men

apnad them become endorsers of wilful and
corrupt libellers

Oerrit Smith and Fremont
Gerrit Smith stoppedin this city 1 yesterday
on his way to the great Kansas meeting at
Buffalo. While here the following colloquy
occurred, between him and another gentle
man ;
“ Are you acquainted with Mr. Fremont,
Mr. Smith V>
“Very, well—he dinod with roe several
times at Washington, and he is a great fa
vourite in my family.”
“ What kind of a man is he I”
“He is the mast modest mao that I ever
knew—he rarely speaks unless .spoken to, a
man of talents, generous impulses, and an
accomplished scholar.”
“ Is he firm, has he decision of character,
is he reliable, in cose he is elected President-!”
“ Perfectly—if Mr. Fremont is. President,
he will carry out his convictions., promptly
and with unfaltering firmness.”
" Is he a slaveholder.!”
" No never—until lately he has been very
poor, and in no condition to be a slaveholder,
besides he ia anti-slavery.”
“ Well what do you think of Jessie I”
“ She is beautiful, highly educated, and
accomplished. Her mother is the daughter
of Gov. McDowel, of Virginia, (an
ist,) Mrs. Fremont told me her mother (qught
her to hate slavery and she did hale it. She
said she would never own a slave, or permit q
slave lo do her work. She did her own work
rather—it is a shrewd choice, the selection of
Fremont,"
'■ It is of great importance that he be elected
—the question is not now a constitutional
question—but a question of blows, a war ques
tion—and if the first battle is to be in Kansas,
wo should cast aside parly and fight the
battle.” 5
“ I agree precisely. The ballot box de
bauches the people—it would be a-great bless
ing if there could be no elections until this
conflict was passed, me people »w.u 0 ;-,
freedom to Kansas with the ride at once, if
politicians will not divert them with their
for office. Whether Mr. Fremont has
looked into lha conalUUttpntptvj r _f -Umww.o*
not, I cannot say. He is as reliable aa png
map in tbe mat;.er of fegifffas flfyery exten
sion—an honest, brava eqterpr.isingi nfflhlp

who had left Charleston at the commence

Gibbs, who was requested, by Frogg l|o stand
godfather to one of his children, which was
agreed to by Gibbs, provided he should have
the naming of, the. child, A 8 they were go
ing tp the church, the father asked Gibbs if

“Yes.’ , said,Gibbs, “wbafdo ypp think of
our Lieutenant Gov. BuU J" .
-“Very good,said-lie father, “I approve
of it rvery much.”
"The child was'accordingly named Bull.—
Frogg did not immediately think of the drol
lery of the-name, but when he did, he could
have killed Gibbs for ibis imposition on his
reliance and friendship.
He thought to have recourse to the Board
of police la get permission to re-baptize the
child; but When he saw Lieutenant Gov.
Bull preside there, he thought it would be an
affront to relate the story, therefore he post,
poned the matter, and the child retains the

By the way, 1 overheard a funny conver

a lady who were promenading,behind me,
from which I learned the definition of a ‘fast

tractions of a young fady, who receives a
good deal of attention heft from the beaux—
(such as we have) —when the gentleman re
marked that he had not yet been able to dis
cover the charms of tha fair one in question.
‘O,’ said the, lady, ‘she is foist, and that’s
what makes all the gentlemen like' her.’—

There have been a great many arrivals

I am expecting to see all that is belle in New.
port. Tickets for the entire season, admit
ting a gentleman and ladies, are ten dollars ;
and 1 believe there are to be two a week un
til the first of September. The single tick
ets are one dollar and a half each, and I heat
a good many have been sold to-day. But
really, the great amusement of the place.is
driving. Last evening there were over one
hundred fine carriages on the Beach at once,
and some fifteen or twenty ladies on horse
back. The tide was low; the sky clear;
the breeze delicious, and the scene gay and
exciting. Scores of bright-eyes and lovely
(aces went flashing by us; but before I had
time to ask who they belonged to they were
gone. The most remarkable ‘sight’ I saw
was the “ History of the United Stales” in
while linen, on horseback. Surely the
early part of Mr. Bancroft’s equestraio
eduemion must hove been sadly neglected,
(Pr.nfts.-.i'ids. B ..as-if-he .were running a race
little ahead.
Sight No. 2, was a lady bathing in red flan,
nel, who swam like a swan. She threw her
self upon the water as though it were her na
tive element; and with her long black hair
-9*nsimr uoon the waves, and her little while
feet flashing sur faoe, looked as
graceful as a Naiad. (If t rc„. m he r r ; g hr,
the Naiads used lo go in swimming in Greece,
and the Dryads used to bring them towels.)
I don’t know who the lady was; fop I can
assure you it is no easy matter to idenlifyan
unhooped woman in the wetter, however well
acquainted one may bo with her in full draw-
Trig room rig. Fringes and flowers! What
a contrast between that feminine “biped
without feathers” that I saw dancing a hop
waltz jh the water yesterday morning, and
the magnificent creature in full blown muslin
and millinery that sailed into the dining sa
loon.a .few hours after! Did you ever see
a ship “scudding under bare poles, ’’ then
suddenly clouded with canvass and gracefully
gliding Ovfefthe ocean with an easy, billowy
motion 7 Did you ever seb a magnificent
bajlooh before and after inflation! Well, 1
These figures are suggestive ; and; perhaps
of nothing, more "pertinently, than of your
“‘own correspondent” ns she nowsits scrib-.
.tying \en dishabille, and as'she ’means to ■
t?.loom. out tn the fall-room of the " Atlantic”
this evening. If there is any fun going on,
the Mirrof shall reflect it.'

Gov. Wise and Mb, Buchanan. —Gov.
Wise, of Virgjnaia, recently made a speech
at the Democratic ratification meeting at
Richmond, in the course of which he claimed
.that Mr. Buchanan, was nominated through
hiaagqncy. He Tjipn held this language;—
ft He ima been 'especially faithful on the
subject of slavery.. -1 undertake to spy that
not only no man North but no map South,
can- show a bolter record than that of James
Buchanan'on that vexed and dangerous ques
tion. He has been arraigned for the imputed
offense when he was a mero boy—a vary
■youth—of having presided at or attended a
meeting in Pennsylvania' which denounced
■slavery; and resoivfed iirfcvdr of rheMissou.
'ri Compromise. This charge- had been ac
tively cirthilated dgtiinsf him in 1852, andil
So hhppfened thnt'theiV Mr.. Buchanan Had,
’ with his own hand; (urnisiietl him, (Mr. Wise)
with. ihe irrefragnble evidence to shdw not
only that the imputation was 1 false,'But 'that
ft was nexV to impossible Tor'll to be (rue.
He ditTnot" support the Missdiiri Compro
mise.” ’ ' !"!• . ,
Isn’t it‘Strange," Asked ft friend the other
day, “that Newton should have indulged in
clownish freaks 1”
“Why, when he was- dividing Ihe rays of
light to he sure—for wasn’t that culling up
