The third then rose from his seat, and with an assured voice which seemed' to announce a certain triumph, said:. “ I require your decision on a delicate ques tion, but the. rules of the pastime' warrant it, and also a candid answer.

The young, republican glanced around the circle, ■ it .was brilliant with flashing ,eyes, and the sweet smiles that wreathed , many a lovely Up might have won a less .determined patriot from his allegiance. He did not hesi tate, though be bowed low to the ladies as ha answered: ; “ The standard of female beauty is, I believe, allowed to be the power ‘of eXcitng admiration and begetting lore in our sex, and consequently those ladies who are most admired, and beloved and respected by the gentlemen, must be the fairest. Now I assert confidently, that there is not a nation on earth where wonntn is so truly so tenderly cherished, so remarkably treated, as in the Republic of the United States, therefore'the American ladies are tha fairest. But,’! he again bowed low, ‘‘if the ladies be fore whom, I now have the honor of expressing my opinion, were in my country, we should think them Americans.” The Philadelphia Press of a kite date, had an editorial notice of .Dri Dyott,:the well known dealer in patent medicines in that , city, who recent); died at an advaouadaga. The article gave the fullowing strange facte connected with bis remarkable career: “ When he to cqmethis country he had hot a few shillings.' Observing that very little atten tion was paid to boot blacking in Philadelphia. —few boats being polished, and no blacking made—he'rented a cellar and a email room above it, in Second or Third street, above Chestnut, and commenced to tnanufnrlare black ingi It took the greater part of his money to buy the materials, simple and cheap as they were, of which his blacking was made. He made the blacking at night, with his own hands, 1 and sold it by day in his little shop above, , Brushing the buyer's boots to ehow them how to use it.' He soon found sate for till he could make, and wanting suitable bottles to put it in, (for it was liquid.) he walked up to the glass works, then itr Kensington, to have them made, and not knowing the distance, or exactly bow to get there, he preferred walking to get ting a horse, for fear the turnpike toll would take top much ul his money ; for at that timo h- kuppCsed it Was as to ride near Philadelphia, as it was near London. By this pursuit he made money rapidly, and soon ob tained enough to establish a' drug store, of Which business he had obtained some knowl edge as'a druggist’s- apprentice in England, Where he learned the art of manufacturing boot blocking. *• Ho toon rose, by the system of. newspaper puffing, to be the,largest manufacturer of patent medicines and drugs in the' United;'States, and did an immense business. At one-time —about, the year 1819-20—he kept the dost elegant I riding establishment in this-city Nor county,! driving four horses to his elegant English coach, j with three or four outriders in livery. A. few j vears after this he became embarrassed, broke ; up his costly style of living, and worked i through his difficulties by making his creditors j take drugs and medicines. After this he en-1 larged bis business, bought j the pUaB-Works where his blacking bottles were made, and wa-, ! no doubt!, at this time a rich man. But his bu siness km carried' oh in a Wild manner, And had gone heymid his knowledge or control, when, in! 1835 Ar 1836, he added to.it that.of banking lie never had an act of incorpora tion. He had purely a private bank of issue; He published a statement that be had deeded a large amount nf real estate, for the redemption of his notes, to some (If the prominent Aitiiens of Philadelphia. In the general-derangement of-the business of the country in 1837, the Doctor and his bank broke down, and his,deed ■of trust for his bank found to be worthless.— He was then indicted for fraud, and. sentenced to the penitentiary. Others were .-dm tried for conspiracy with him, but 'acquitted.

A sTbanoe dAAlsSft. ,; TUB BAHKJBR; OP ASTWEfIP. : ; „ . .' In 1814 there lived M-faxtwerp a banker;who. had a pagspinfor speculation, butwhu iprajia bly was unsuccessful. This ill luck, became proverbial; hie affairs fell into confusion, and alt Antwerp looked to see him become bank rupt and retire ‘from- the precincts of the ex change, when, suddenly, his luck, be gained in. every operation he undertook as invariably as be bad formerly lost, No mptter how suddenly or How violently the.funds went up or dpwriiih Paris, L mdon, Vienna, nr else where,' t Be: Antwerp ba’riker was always the ■gaiiieis’by every the money, market, ‘no matter how , dripricious. In-the coarse, of two years ;b9, realized a, large fortune, quilted Antwerp with his wife and family, and estab lished himself for the-rest of his life in a charm ing country seat, where’he abandoned himself to the delights of rural existenoeand cultivation of flowers, which latter branch of horticulture he pursued with an abiding enthusiasm worthy of a Dutchman. The electric telegraph was Unknown at the period iri question, and the clumsy sign ala by wbiohi statesmen contrived to communicate with qne aouther were only.worked by the heeds of the state, and. fur their own behoof; and. Ant werp, puzzled its brains for some time in vain efforts to i’iscertain by what mysterious art the’ ex banterltad managed to’ t’uhn the tide, and to win over. to his interests the favors of the : blind gofldees who had hilhertv been so deci dedly against him. In these speculations upon the changed fate of the speculator, Antwerp simply lust its trouble; nor was it until several years afterword that, the seeming mystery was. explained. lit had been noticed in Antwerp as a singular fact that two drivers of stage-coaches belong ing to that city ,bad made, during the lucky pe riod of the banker’s career, fortunes, which in proportion with their means, were as considera ble as that amassed by the speculator, Butnn one thought of attributing the improved posi tion of the two .coauhmen to the operations,of the fortunate speculator. Vet all three owed thei’f good luck ,to the same simple expedient; !if any of the towns-people had bethought them of watching the doings of the banker, they would have seen that every,evening about nine o’clock the latter betook faiotself to a lone ly cottage of his, standing in the midst of a garden, a few miles from the town. ’ There, in silence' and secresy, the banker received- the visit of one or the other of the two coschthen, to whom, after the exchange of a few words, he handed a basket .carefully covered over with a piece of tarpaulin, and at which was at once deposited by the coachman at the bottom <if a great hamper of poultry; collected by him at the neighboring farms,’and to be-sold by him at the towns through which be drove bis coach. As soon as the coachman had taken his leave, the banker locked the cottage door and went up-stairs to a room fitted up.as a pigeon house, of whose existence no one else was aware, .in which a number of pigeons soon began to make the.ir appearance with hanging wings, impatient to drop into their nests. The li inKer having rr -iced and petted the weary'birds anil gave them some corn,'gently lifted their wings and detached the little billet conveyed to him' by each linminsoious These birds brought to the speculator news or the exchange on all the pr ncipal markets of Europe.* Sent uifd'ily from Dmdon, Paris, Vienna, Brussels, &c.. about four in the afternoon, the home-lov ing little Mercuries never failed to reach tbajr rie-ts about midnight. After receiving the in telligence thus sent to him by trusty confeder al- it in each capital.-the hanker locked'the door of the cottage and returned to his own dwelling ready to operate the next day on the Antwerp Exchange with certain success. I'ne carrier-pigeon is now* superseded by electricity; but the Belgians hare tint, renounced their old partiality for this bird, and " pigeon races” still give rise among them to, numerous Lgatlierings and heavy bets. On these occasions pigeons are carried in baskets to a certain distance, arid are then waited for by their own ers, the bird 1 which arrives firsfewinmng the pfiie, exactly as in the case of'ltorso races.— R -cently, at one of these pigeon races, held at Mi|ines, a feathered courser, let Ib.ise at six A.

September 23, at the age of 78. lie had tired fur rears in the hollow of an American poplar, in the opening of which he had fitted a rude dbop. In the contra of this hollow he would Build his fire in winter for cooking his plain |meal*. . This hollow serv ed as hie sleeping apartment, and it is said that he slept in a sitting posture, reclining against the wall at, his housp. Adjoining or hear to this rude tree be had it rude shed which be used as a workshop, wherfe he manufactured chairs, boxes, older mills, to. A short time since a lady visited the old jllermit in company with her husband.and some gentleman friends, and from her account the! following is taken: “ Beipig of the sfez to which all hermits are said to be particularly inimical, I made up roy mind tm suffer some such inhospitality as that which St. Kevin is jreported to have inflicted upon poor Kathleen. But my_ eyes of blue teemed to exert a contrary-effect upon the re cluse, so that insteadjof becoming exasperated upon my 'introduction, he gave me a cordial shake of the hand, obd hustled about for one of his new chairs, all the politeness if not grace of a Chesterfield. On the whole. Sir Charles Grandson himself could not have done the agreeable with more credit to himself, or more satisfaction to me. Instead of having my. head, snapped off in a twinkling by au ogre, I found the hermit a simple, genial, conversable old man. Poorly clad, and, if I must say it, not scrupulously clean, yet there was a dignity about him Which i bannot express'otherwise | than hy ! saying that it seemed to me the digni ty it truth, for the old man appeared, somehow, as though be npver even dreamed of falsehood or redemption, though I doubt nut that in bis life he suffered from both. ’ “ Finding that my watch had stopped, I en- J quiird tihe hour. Immediately one of the-geh tlemen turned and proposed the same question ! to 1 Uncle Daniel.’ He brought forth from hie c ipaciods pocket a piece of sheet lead in the form of ja quadrant marked with degrees, and with a line and pluniot attached; setting this in a peculiar position! in regard to the sun, he told us the hour, -correctly, too, in a mo ment. |H* e queer little chronometer was of his own construction.' I jhad, by this time climbed into the|enclosure to observe his manner of ta king tinie, and then hje showed me his cooking apparatus, bis cider presses, &c. I purchased one.of his unique chairs for my little boy, and stepping up cautiously took a sly peep into the kr.ee; Cjli 1 jt looked like a Jen. Well, if Dio genes lijed In a tub, ‘Uncle Daniel’ has evinced mupK better taste, in choosing the * green wood tree'.’ Yon would be astonished by tilts man ; he is sojsimple, yet so shrewd; so child like, yet so critical ; crazed, one would think, and yet exhibiting more good sense than ope in - thousands of those who! make more pretensions. His manner is quiet, his conversation Candid, his l.mgb.Vge good.and at times even- choice,- and hi« voice singularly soft And winning. In religion ho is an independent thinker, in "poli tics he |ias ever beep a supporter of the old hero' of the Hermitage?, under, whose general ship he has so often'fought. His favorite oath md as far as I heard the only one—Was at* original<me to say thej least: ‘By blood 1’ he would often exclaim, yet never, if I remem her rightly. Except it might bs when talking of bis ! old campaigns. | i “ We learned something of his former histo ry.
