gig- It turns out that the story of the
appointment of Mr. D. Richard Ryan, of
Indianapolis, Indiana, to be. United States
Minister to Bogota, was a honx upon that
individual, perpetrated by stags bent on
getting a sapper party out of him. Mr. R.
is an individual who left the Democratic
party not long since to “shriek for free
dom," and received hid reward in being
elected by the Republican party Clerk of
the late Indiana Legislature. He is famous
as a windy, wordy speake6 without point.

as voluble. Hence the deep-set saw run

cumstance of a German widow in the Third
district 'hurrying her fifth husband.
month or two afterwards we published that
the ladY was again made a widow by the
death of the fifth by yellow fever. We
have now to record that she is again a wife,
having taken her sixth lawful husband in
due form a few days ago. We forbear re
peating the jokes to which this wedding.
has given rise. The people around look
upon the sixth husband as a dead man,
~ure, before the summer is over, and say
that the wedding should have been pre
vented by the pot' . Some of the lady's
German friends say she had buried two
husbands before leaving the old country.
If this be true, the present husband is her
eighth.—New Orleans Crescent.
There resides in this city aman who
has reached nearly fourscore years, who
came from abroad and settled here several
years ago. He brought with him a large
sum of money, a portion of which he invest
ed in real estate, the balance in loans.—
His innate hankering for gold prevailed
over everything else, and he lived in the
most abject poverty, denying himself and
wife almost the actual necessities of life.—
Time rolled on ; his real estate and addi
tional lend obtained had raised his fortune
close on to a half a million. Still he lives
in the same penurious way, sleeping, cook
ing and eating in the same small room of
the second story of iremall tenement. He

of a like nature.—Chicago Harald.

intelligence received from out Pompeii
expedition gives the country the gratfying
essurance that our diffiOulties in that part
of the world are at an end—that the dispute
lletwee" ii the government. of the United
States and that of Para has be e n ami
cably adjusted on the . most satisfactory
basis. Commissioner BO'WLIIII EXHlPPeSidetit
Loris are both well sntiafied with the
itrrangement, and especially should the
fismer be, for all the claims Prmented by
Dim were fully conceded. Thig result will
be received with very general, satisfaction
in the United States, although it ma) not
make so great an impreision upon the pub
lic mind as it otherwiae'woull for the rea
son that it was genervly expected. The
specific Lerma of the adjustment have not
yet been made public, but their , general
purport is known. The Paraguayan govern
ment agree to pay mi .incieranity. to the
family of the personi Who was killed on
board the Water li*/i at the time that
steamer was fired into fromone of her forts,
which indemnity is reported to be ten
thousand dollars; acid it is still further
agreed to pay art intlempity to the commer
cial company which suffered the losses in
Paraguay a few years i rince, and whose un
adjusted claim ermstikood one of the chief
causes of complaint on the part of our
govern moils. This indemnity is reported
to be twenty-five thousand dollars; but
these amounts are juntas likely tote wrong
as right, 4 lite the information respecting
them t'S not derived front any official source.
This gratifying termination of our South
American difficulties ,haw been brought
about mainly through the friendly offices
of PresitientbUiteutza, of the Argentine
Confederation, and it is through his com
nninication tb his government that the in
-1 formation of the establishment of peaceful
relations has been obtaisted,and not through
any dispatches to bur own government.—
It seems that President LOPEZ, notwith
standing all'the bragging and swaggering
in which be had indulged and the warlike
preparations he had ordered, after be dis
covered the determination of Mr. Bowtor
to havb justice, and the strong force of
Commodore Sii CBE CC at his baolf to enforce
it, made haste to call upon the governments
of Brazil,- Montevideo, the Argentine Con
federation, and aim upon the French
Minister, to interpose their mediation.—
Mr. Bosnia, however, declined all. these
offers, and, indeed, hiti instructions would
not ellow him to do otherwise: but he
signified to President Uaeriza that he
would accept the personal intervention of
his offices in deference to the spirit of con
cifiatfon that was manifeeted by LOPEZ, and
from especial consideration to himself.—
But on account of thecelerity tithe move
ments of the commissioner, and the vigor
with which he prose+uted his teAk, Uaticiza
was unable for some tin to bring about a
conference between hint and LOPEZ, who
was waiting elision:Ay an the Argentine
territory for a meeting} The conference
was :finally htil4l on thei 16th of January,
andlresulted in the most satisfactory man
ner as indicated above. The United States
have obtained all they ;asked, and, if we
ma) credit the account of the Argentine
Prefitient, ',ores was on' too glad to grant
j
it. IWhile all due cred t is to be given to
Comtnissioner Bo - Li ; and President
Utterizs for the hottorahle part they have
taken in conducting them successful nego
tiations, yet there can be little doubt that
the real pacificatars -were the guns which
Commodore :- acsatcz had to enforce the
arguments of the Commissioner. These
gave ail the potency to them which Lopez
ao suddenly discovered, and which he had
never been able to discover before,
and which he never would have been able
to discover anima they had been ready And
waiting for the service for which they were
designed. Hight and justice will often go
a long way of themselves, bet with such
diplomatists as Lorca they will go a lOng
way further when they have such 4ble
barkers as they had on this ()et-flair - l.iia

year in a manner to reflect the hie est

alp" The " Democracy" of Erie County
are in considerable of a steer" at the

down on him like " a thousand of brick,"
and regard him not only as a bogus Demo

Gazette.
The Gazette is perfectly aware thei there
is not a word of truth in the abcrre, in the
sense in which it desires its readers to un
derstand it. The men who are •' down
on" us " like a thousand of brick" are our
personal enemies—men who have been
hanging upon the outskirts of the party
for years—gurrillas who, having failed to
bend the Obaerver to their wishes, have
taken to abusing of its Editor. If we were
half the " sorry specimen of humanity '
that some of the men the Gazette chases to
echoes are, we ought to be in the Penitentia
ry, where some who denounce us should and
wotkki have been long ago if justice had not
been cheated of her dues.
lir It is singular how far political ran
cor and narrow prejudice will lead men.
For example—Roam Trutt, Esq., of Phil
adelphia, is the Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, and in that capa
city has issued an address to the Democracy
of the State. This address does not meet
the approbation of the Republicans, nor
their bolting allies, under the lead of Knox,
Forney & Co., but as they cannot contro
vert the positions assumed in it, they resort
to the pitiful expedient of attempting to
create prejudice against it by asserting that
" Mr. Tyler is a Virginian by birth and edu
cation, with no feelings in common with
the citizens of our State." This great
crime in the eyes of all sectional politicians of
being born south of the Potomac, is first made
public through the columns of the Press,
and echoed here by the Gazelle. In due
time it will find its way into the Express.
Do these narrow minded bigots recollect
that Washington was a " Virginian by
birth and education "?—that Madison, and
Jefferson, and Mcinroe, and Clay, and thou
sands of other brave and patriotic men
first saw the lighten the same soil? Why,
"Old Virginia" is the "Mother of Presi
dents," the very cradle of patriotism, and
ought to be to every American what Rome
is to every Catholic—the very centre of pat
riotic devotion. But in the case of Mr. T.
we are happy to inform the Gta:ette, that he
has been a resident of the "Old Keystone"
for fifteen years ; that be married one of
her daughters, an 4 is raising a family of
sound Pennsylvania Democrats. Now, we
doult whether rt were possible for a man
to marry and live fifteen years among a
people and yet have no feeling in common
with that people ; and hence when we look
about us, and see the Englishman, the Ger
man, the Irish and theSootch, assuming and
maintaining positions in social and politi
cal life, we are ready to accord to them all
the privileges which of right belong to
those "to the manner born." While Mr.
Tyler has not forgotten the glorious old
Commonwealth which gave hiin birth, we
doubt not he lass just pride in the growth,
social, moral, political and commercial, of
the people of the State of his adoption, arbl
of which his fairdlywriinatirea.

Who limit usefulness to the narrowest. range as
what are called practical teen. They limit util

had had the construction of the world they
would have left the flowers off its surface and
the jewels out. of its mines, because they could
see no use in such decorations. But lie, whose
wisdom excels man's, thought differently. They
would build any public edifice, a Court House
or church, with its four walls and roof, perhaps
its floor, because these were necessary, but
would leave off that benibcent contribution to
public enjoyment which arises from tasteful
architecture. Music and painting are not
practical according to such men, yet theability
to produec music and to deliniate in colors has
been given eo a few, the faculty to enjoy has
been widely diffused. But theme soirees of en

poetry" into form for the public eye.—
The enjoyment is before all, the rich man and

an element of A beinty to their homes, and by
elevating the taste, diminish the tendency to

illiterate, who are below the sensation of pleas

appeals by its beauty of structure to the sense
of refined enjoyment may preach sermons in
the stillness of a midnight moonlight s as elo

This ir.,rk bids fair to hare as great a run
as •• Dr Livingstone's South Africa. " Th e
English edition of Dr. Barth's Travels fills fire
octavo volumes, and the cost is between twenty
fire and thirty dollars The material portions
of this large work have been carefully condensed
and pt....emitted in • the present cheap form by
the American publisher. It contains a full
account of the countrtes Dr. Barth saw, what
new discoveries he made, what perils he en
countered, and what was mainly accomplished.
by the expedition Dr Livingteone's travels
were chiefly among pagan nations across South
Central Africa. but Dr. Barth's researches were
confined mainly to North Central Africa, and
his intercourse was chiefly with Mohammedans
in populous cities possessed of some learning
and civilization. Hence, the points of inter
est iu the works of these celebrated travellers
are widely different. Dr. Barth's travels ex
tended over a tract of country of twenty-four
degrees from north to eonth, and twenty de
grees from east to west He explored vast
deserts presenting the most frightful desolation,
and fertile lands watered by large rivers and
exten,ire lakes. He discovered the river Be
auwe. the eastern branch of the Niger. which
affords an uninterrupted eusuutunication by
water for more ihan six huirlred miles into
the interior. His account of the manners and
customs of the various nat ions and tribes which
occupy the vast region is highly interesting.—
He met with many thrilling adventures and .
hair-breadth escapes, the narration of which
gives stare relish to his work. To those who
desire to acquire a knowledge of the various
countries and the inhabitants of the wildest
portion of Africa this book is invaluable. The
low price brings it within the reach of all, and
there are few books of travel that can be read
with more pleasure or profit.
