Conjujfftl Manner of Neapolitan Boy My
Tim Puria newspaper, called la ralrie, gives
us thet-e rticulars of the Neapolitan Royal fa
mily willi which lliat of France is about to be
nilicd by tlit nmrringe of the Due d'Aumulr,
fourth ton of Louis Plullippe to the Princes of
Sjlcrno.
One evening, when tlie Quern, Maria
Christiana, of virtuous memory, was about to
nit down at the card table, hvt husband King
Ferdinand, by way of joke, drew back her chair,
lit the moment ahe was sitting down, and she
fell to the floor in position en indelicate, a to
bring Witslies to the checks of all in attendance.
On rising, the Queen, outraged in her modes
ty, said to her royal husband, with justifiable in
dignation, "l thought t had married a Kin?,
but 1 pereieve I have only given my hand t. a
lazzoroni." The wordt were hardly uttered be
tore a violent box on the ear from her royal con
sort followed. The Quern, then advanced in
pregnancy, left the apartment in tears, and
from broiling over this brutality and from the
effects (if the full, "die had scarcely given birth
to a child before her strength gave way and
she died.
Another Prince of this home of which
kindness towards wivea is by no means a char
ecteristic, the Prince of Salerno, future father-in-law
of the Due iTAumalr, and one of
the most enlightened Princes of Ituly, ill-treated
his young w ife so shamefully, soon after the
marriage, thntthc Emperor Francis of Austria
sent to demand "How it was that a little pic
caninny Prince of Xiples could presume to lay
his hands upon an Archduchess of Austria 1"
These facts are notorious throughout Italy, and
sufficiently explain the joy which the young
Princess Caroline, of Salerno, manifested on
hearing that her hand had been asked in mar
riage by a French Prince. The French have
the reputation throughout Europe of being very
unliable towards women and the sons of Iuiis
Philiippe especially are acknowledged to be of
excellent character."
Break Your Honrs to Work Without
minder.
We have always thought the "blinders" or
"eye winkers" on our harnesses which we work
our horses in, were not only a useless append
oge but oftentimes injurious. We consider
Ihem useless, because we cannot think or see
any good they do. We never heard but i nu
reuson for using them, and that was given by u
stage driver, and was the following : "That
ofT thrill horse, you see, is a lazy dog, and needs
the string pretty o!ten. His male is hut fe
now if he could sec me when I go to strike
his mate, ho would spring and take the whole
load, and the off one would shrink out just the
same." There is some reason in that, to be sure.
We can't always have horses matched equally
in teams, either as it regards temper or strength,
and of course, once in a wiiile, it may work will
to hide a tree horse's eyes from the evil that is
descending in the form of an angry driver's
lash ; but an offset to this, the lazy horse will
also see the blow coming, and probably w ill
spring out of the way too, as well as the other,
do thiil the power will be us equally applied by
them both. We think that many horses are
disposed to "shy" more, as it is called, when
their eyes are partially covered w ith blinders
than when not. Horses may bo trained to wi.rk
without them, and colls should, by all means-,
be taught to doit. We think horses appear
much better without than with them, especially
if they have a good eye naturally. Maine

from 1790 to 1340. Also the manner of conduct
ing the elections of President, which is not so gen
erally undei stood by the people.
Dr. IIa9eltine will deliver another lecture
on Phrenology and Animal Magnetism, this even
ing. The Democrats of Lewibbnrg had a splen
did torch light procession on Thursday night
last, in commemoration of the triumphant elec
tion of James K. Polk. A large delegation from
Northumberland, with their torch lights, attend
ed, and were escorted into town. A number of
houses w ere illuminated, and an excellent supper
was served up for the occasion. Lewisburg is
the strong citadel of democracy in Antimasoiiic
Union.
C7 SrkAKKR of thk Hoisk. Several per
sons have been named as candidates for the
Speaker's Chair, in the next Legislature. We
have observed among them the name of F.dward
Y. SuiGiiT, F.s(., the member from this county,
who is recommended for that olfice. Mr. Bright
was a useful and industrious member at the last
session, and would, no doubt, make a good olficer.
C7"Ci.f.iik of the Hoise. San-.uel S. Ear
ton, of Huntingdon county, has been recommend
ed for the office by some of the papers. Mr.
Barton is spoken of, by those who know him, in
high terms, as a gentleman well worthy of the
office and capable of discharging itsduties.
C7" Who Nominated Folk ? We bave seen
it remarked in several papers that Col. Reah
Frazer, of Lancaster, was entitled to the credit
of having first nominated Jas. K. Polk for Presi
dent, at the Baltimore Convention. Col. Fra
zer is an active and talented democrat, and, no
doubt, aided materially, with some others, in
bringing about the result. It would, however,
be unjust to pass over the name of the lion.
Heudrick B. Wright, of Luzerne, the President
of the Baltimore Convention, to whose instru
mentality, probably as much as to any man, Jas.
K Polk ows his nomination, and consequently
his election.
Thk Electoral Votk for President
will, we presume, stand 170 for Polk and 105 for
Clay. Polk's majority C5. Had New York cast
her 30 votes for Clay, he would have been elect
ed by a majority ot 7. The 20 votes of Penn
sylvania would not Lave been sufficient to have
turned the scale, but still, we insist that Mr.
Polk owes his election to Pennsylvania. Had
the ''Old Keystone," which was the first large
State to lead ofT in his favor, gone against him.
the state of New York would, undoubtedly, have
followed suit, and the majority against him
would have been 53, almost as much as h.j no v
has over Clay. Mr. Polk then, we repeat, owes
his election to Pennsylvania, and therefore can
not, and as an honorable man, we are confident,
will not abandon her interests.
The Pai-SintNT's Cabinet. Many specu
lations are already afloat in regard to th compo
sition of President Polk's Cabinet. Of course,
these are all speculations, as nothing positive or
certain can be known. Many of our whig friends
have all along insisted that Mr. Calhoun would
remain in the Cabinet, and would be the presid
ing spirit in controlling its councils. Mr. Talk
will assume the duties of his olfice as free and as
untrammelled as any President we have had for
many years past. His good sense and honesty of
purpose will induce him to select a Cabinet that
will give credit and character to his administra
tion. As President of ufl the States he w ill feel
himself bound to consult the interests of all,
without regard to the peculiar institutions of the
Noithor the Sou'.h, disregarding all sectional
feelings or local jealousies. Our opinion is that
Mr. Calhoun will not form one of the new Cabi
net. Mr. Stevenson, of Virginia, has hem men
tioned as his successor, Gov. Cass, it is thought,
will take the State Department. Gov. Marcey,
of X. Y., it is said, will be invited to the Trea
sury Department. Mr. Saunders, of North Caro
lina, is spoken of as Postmaster General, and will,
it is said, adopt a more liberal policy than has
been pursued heretofore. Senator Walker will
have, it is thoucht, a place in the Cabinet, or a
seat on the Bench of the Supreme Court.
Gen. Cass, it is rumored, will be elected to the
U. S. Senate, if he should not be called into the
Cabinet.
K7" The rUiffiiloe Advertiser slanders the De
mocrats of Dei ks county mot shamefully, be
cause they gave Polk a majority of 4, CCD. He
says that Berks was settled principally with
Hessians, who were bought by George the III
from the Prince of Hesse at jft a head, to crush
American Independence. Now, it is well known
that Berks was one of the most patriotic coun
ties in the State, and during the last war furnish
ed just twice as many volunteers as Lancaster
county, which is the most populous of the two.

The Popnlnr Vote cf Ihe Prrsldtntinl Election.
Th1! following is probably a fair estimate
what the actual majorities will be. In some
States we have the official vote, in others, from
which the returns are not complete, we give an
estimate, which will bear correction as the cor
rect retmns come in. These estimates, leaving
out Arkansas and Mississippi, fiom which returns
enough have not been received to make an esti
mate, make Tolk's aggregate majority 101, 03:2 ;
Clay's, CS.1C0, Tolk's majority on popular vote,
42 S72. Birney's vote, as far as reported, is
47,725, and only two States to hear from, in
which he will have any vote, Vermont and Maine.
At present, Polk's minority, compared with Clay
and Birney, is 4,sr3. Arkansas will probably
give Polk 2,000 ; Mississippi, 4.000. It depends
upon the Liberty vote in Vermont and Maine
whether Polk will be in a minority in the aggre
gate vote.

Clay by a very close vote. The democratic pa

of the 14th inst has corrected its table of returns,
and makes Mr. Clay's majority in the State 400,
adopting the old vote in Fentress, the onlv coun

GVLossis-The Madisonian says: "There
is a rumor that a d.st,nSu..hed member of the
diplomatic roips, resident in
Washington, has
sustained a pretty heavy loss by the election of
Colonel Polk. He bet on Mr Clay, and it is said he
holds up his hands in surprise, and says he ' can't
understand how it is possible for Mr. Clay to be
defeated.

solvent for Cauoti l.ouc or India-rubber, was not
mistaken when he also applied it for the purpose

upon the subject of "Good humor in Politics,"
from which, it appears to us that a few extracts
will not be amiss at profitable reading for men
of every shade of opinion :
"Good humor at elections is a manifentation of
both good sense and sound principle. We are a

may be down to morrow. Majorities fade into
minorities, new parties, sects and divisions. In
