A JTZoutufnl of Pickled Doff. A long-limbed, wiry-made countryman of the teal Alleghanian breed, determined -the other day to have a full view of Niagara, before emi grating from Western New York to Wisconsin, wlnther " his folk" were all bound. Haying partly satisfied his curiosity on Goal Island, he ctoised to the Canada side, and 60on after pre entcd himself at the hotel near the Falls, ask ing "if they couldn't give a feller something lo eat." " Where do you come from, my friend !" 'aid an Englishman who sat smoking' a cigar upon the piazza, and who thought he saw in our '"Hid a fit subject for a qtrir. M Where do I come from, mister ? why from 1 good way long off, if you only jjnow,ed it: lhat is clean from the Forks Xf 'he Alle ghany, nejr down along side the ,Senec na ,10n( in York State, is my place .when -l am 10 tame."

Alleghaniau ; but I tell ye, mister, I come fro in jist among the spurs of the mountains, the real prouts of the old bark-bone ; and if Aljeha- ntan means the raal prickly grit of Amciiky, I am ji.st,some of that same I am. A Irue Al leghanian boulder by. Heaven ; and I only want to see the man thai has a word to say ain it I do." 'I dtd not mean to annoy you, my friend." said the Englishman soothingly ; " 1 only wish ed to a.-k you abouthat dog of yours. He looks to me like an Indian dog; and hearing you ak for some refreshments, .suggested the inquiry whether or not that was the kind ofdo they eat in the Seneca nation, near which it seems ynu have resided ?" " Eat Hauk ! eat my dog Ilauk ! I'd like to see man or hound, mister, lhat would dare to put a tooth in him." " Why, my good fellow,' replied John Bull, whose sporting sensibilities were so aroused by this remark that he instantly forgot his wag- gery, "why I have a bull-terrier here, in the yard, that would eat him up at a mouthful. I said he locked like an Indian dog; bin in truth, when 1 come to examine him, he i nothing but what we wOuId call in England ' i a misci able cur." I tell ye, mister, if Hauk be a cur, ho is ne vertheless a raal Alleghauia cur, as you call it, and sich a cur will lick five limes his weight in English bull-dogs." Wfiyj he has no scars about hi'th, to show that he is a fighter," said the Englishman, cu riously examining the dog's head and ears. "Shall I tell ye why, mister?" "Why?" " Because Alleghanian dogs is a kind of crit ter, thai gives scars instead of taking them." "Aha! that's it is is T'said the Englishman drily. " Well, my Alleghanian friend, I will bet you this golden sovereign against a silver dollar, that my bull-terrier will bakc lhat A He ghanian cur of yours to pieces in less than th ej r i . . : i -. . !ii i. I mmu.es, oy my iva.cn-in snort, win mane a single mouthful of him V " Wal, wal that's all fair," replied the Al leghanian, scratching his head. " But ye see, mister, Hauk ain't had his vitiles to-day, n more than his ma.-ter, and it isn't -in lie ill and blnod todo its best at fighting on an empty stomach." "I will order your dog to be fed, then. You can, meanwhile be eating your own dinner, and we'll have the fight afterwards." " That's all fair that's all fair, tpo ; but, mis ter, as to planking down my silver shiner on that yellow piece. I don't know that I altogeth er like that, somehow. We don't sec much gold nur way, and that sovereign, as you call it, looks to me, for all the world-, only like a brass Indian medal." " You won't bei on your cur, then," said John Bull, contemptuously. " Y.ou repudiate, per haps all you have said in his praise : in a word. you back qui !" "Back out,:mister? Iothin'ort ainh is fur ther from my natur,. I tell'd j-oti I wore a boulder a raal Alleghanian boulder and 1 am. But I want to fix things in a Christian-like man ner, and not rob folks of their money on the highway, as it were " " How, ihen, shall we make up the match, my good fellow 2" taid the Englishman, not un kindly. " Well, now," replied the Alleghanian, with great simplicity, "if you and your bull-ierrier want so much to get a fight out of Hauk and me, why can't you go in and tell the gentleman who keeps the tavern whom you know and 1 don't know why can't you tell the gentleman to give me and Kauk a raal good dinner, with something good for a feller to drink, and then let the dogs fight after ward, to decide which of Jus is to pay the shot why can't yon do lhat, I !ssy, if yqu are so tearing mad lo have a fight a to.xtftk you, gold upon it I" The Englishman could not Jmlp laughing heartily at ilje .Alieghaniarnt notions of. what conlUited,a fairbei ; for the proposed arrange. inen Iff' .John Bull nothing to win, whatever mighrbe the result of the fight, except the. pos sible satisfaction of seeing the countryman's poor cur receive a druhbing from his bull-ter- lier.. JjJlvertea, nowever, wnu sucu an .ungi- ti8l, he instantly ordered the lavern-kcper to give the Alleghanian whatever ho mighl want for himself and his dog, adding; that he wouid be responsible for the bill. ' " Wal, I guess I'm all ready," said oiir, Alle ghanian friend, about half an hour afienvaTds, as he stepped out on the piazza, smacking his lips, and wiping bis mouth with his coal sleeve; " I guess I'm ready, mister, and you may bring along that bull-pup of yonr'n as quick as you please, for I have to be going." " Here he is' said John Bull, and in the same moment a stout, tan-colored, compactly built, and vigorous looking dog. with tusks like those of a wild boar protruding from his black muz zle, roused hininclf from under the bench on which his master was sitting, lie gave a low, mullled growl as he rose, while poor Ilauk, who was just thrusting bin nose out of the door way, shrank back in terror behind the heels of the Alleghanian. " Why, your dog has no fight in him, my good sir!" quoth the Englishman, pettishly. "Don't be too sure of that," answered the Other "the fight always lies deep down in our Alleghanian dogs; but when you onst get at it, 'tis the raal thing, and no mistake. As for Hauk, here, he, jiasn't had his drink yet; and (besides that, I always talk to him all alone by himself, afore ho goes into a fight I ahvays do." "Well, there's water in the horse-trough, and there's the bar-room for your talk," said John Bull, utterly confounded by what he now cursed, inwardly, as the cool impudence of the United Stateser, who had swindled him out of a dinner in the name of a dog that would not stand up even to receive a flogging. " Dunk from a horse-trough !" cried the Al leghanian, disdainfully. " Hauk isn't that kind of a critter mister." " What does he drink, then I" " Drink ? why ho never drinks any thing hut ' .

The Englishman, all im patient, meanwhile stepped into ihe bar-room, followed by the bull-terrier, when suddenly the inner .door was flung open, and there stood the Alleghanian, gesticulating wildly with one handj while he held Hauk with the other. " Bring on your dog!" he shouted " bring on your British bull-ierrier thai is going to eat us up! bring him on, I say, and let's see if an Alleghanian cur iau'i more than a mouthful for him." " Sczt---sezi teize him i1' hissed John Bull between his teeth, at the same time clapping his hands and striding rapidly toward the inner door, while his bull terrier, with a fierce growl, sprang past him full at the throat of poor Hauk. The Alleghanian had released his own hold upon his dog, and it seemed lis if all must be over with him if those voracious jaws only fair ly fastened upon his neck. The yelp of Ilauk proved, indeed, that the bull-terrier did give one seiere bite, but the next moment saw the latter rebounding against his master's legs4 and work ing his slavering jaws, as if trying to disengage a swarm of hornets that had lodged upon his palate. " You confounded rascal!" roared, the Eng lishman, " what poison hate you put upon ihe hair of your vile cur!" , Wal, mister," quoth ilia Alleghanian, cool ly, " I rayther guess lhat Hauk was in such. an all fired passion for a fight, the pepper-sarce he drank jt.-t now must have sw eated through. At uy ra'e your bu!I-pup seems to have had enough of pickled dog at one monihful." " You scoundtel, you!" thundered the indig nant Britain, " I have a good mind to take you in hand myself, and punish you well for the villainous trick." "Now don't use sich ugly words, mister; I'm a boulder; I'm one of 'em,. I tell ye, and no mis take; a raal Alleghanian boulder. Btit if you want, right in airnesJ, to get a fight out of me, all you have to do, is to order a supper and a bed for me, and to-morrow, arter breakfast, you and I will try a friendly knock down or two, so decide who shall pay for ihcm." The crowd, which had meantime collected around the door of the tavern, shouted wish laughter at this proposition, while John Bull hastily retired from the scene, having probably already had enough of a raal Alleghanian boul der. CHARLES F. HOFFMAN. A Wisconsin IVan in Washington. A Washington letter writer relates the fol lowing anecdote : There was a gentleman ar rived here last w.eek from Wisconsin, who proved himself a most unreasonably impatient office seeker. As one Of the many interesting scenes at the departments, we will give you this, lo. which our Wisconsin friend fijjured. He called at the Treasury Department to see Mr. Walker. A large company here already wailed in the ante-chamber for the same pur pose. He remained perhaps half an hour, very uneasy, when he peremptorily demanded " Look here, door-keeper; aim you gwine lb let me in to my friend, Bob Walker, without any more fuss ?" " Can't do it, sir, until your turn comes." "Turn!" (walking up and down the hall.)

And the young giant from Wiscohsih left in a rage, screaming like a trooper. We give the story as we receive it; but can readily imagine from what has occurred under our observation, such a scene as the foregoing to be a stiict maiter of fact. An old maid aged 80 was once asked at what acre a woman ceases to think of marriage. She replied, at about the same age that a man's van ity, in affairs regarding the sex, becomes ex tinct. Bolh periods would seem to bo equally dubious. Windows Cleansed by Steam. A very simple bin excellent method of cleans ing windows is now coming into genrral use, possessing many advantages over ihe old sys tem of using v luting, &c. Thn window is first dusted v?iih a bunch of feathers, or dusting brush, aptl when all the dust is thoroughly re moved, place a bowl of. boiling hoi water at the base of the window; the steam immediate? ly covem the glass, which is removed by a wash leather, and finished off with another quite clean and dry The method saves lime, and produces a more brilliant and durable polish than any other.

Louis paper announces the discovery 'f quantities of Chalk in Morgan ennntj, Missou ri, at the mouth of the Gravins river. Tin ru mor excited our surprise, because while ounge ology has discovered its region of interest to nearly as wide, diversified and interesting, a.-j that of Europe, it had not been able to claim the possession of any basin or large doposite of chalk. This circumstance has been a stumb ling block in ihe way of our naturalists. Mr McClurei an eminent geologist of thii counlrVt recently deceased, undertook by personal ex amination to settle the character and position of the principal American rocks, and construct: ed a geological map of tho Union which wa much esteemed. He gave il as his opinion there was no chalk to be found in America. -This opinion was taken up by Professor Eatotii who, 111 his treatise on peculiar formations, ob served : We should delight td find a chaili basin in our secondary district, with all the in teresting contents of the Paris basin described by Cuvier and Brogniard. But toe have no chalk in North America" This impression has; therefore, taken pes session of the public mind. Yet we find thai Flint, the accomplished author of the Geogra phy and history of the Mississippi Valleyj a work which made its appearance 111 1824, as serts the existence of while and red chalk in the. Slate of Missouri. Dr. Morton, of Philadelphia, about the saifca time, made some valuable contributions to the science of American Geology, and, indeed, di vided the cretaceous strata of the. United States into three divisions. The upper, traceable Vox South Carolina, Florida and Southern Alabain a, the medial recognized at Burlington, New Jer sey, and in North Carolina; the lower, stretch ing from New Jersey in the form of a crescent and through the Southern Stales into Arkansas-, and Missouri. The fossil remains have been, identified in Europe as being similar to those found in the thalk formations of France and: England. At the fourth annual session of American ge ologists and naturalists, held in the city of Al bany in 1813, a very valuable paper wa read by Mr. Nicolle.t on the sretacous formatioa of" the Missouri river. At that meeting a creta ceous fossil in a fine state of preservation: was exhibited, which had been found in an excava tion on Brooklyn Heights sixty-five fee; below the surface. None of these persons Beem to have contemplated the existence of chalk in such quantities as to become an article of com merce or of domestic economy. Dr. Mantel, in his beautiful and interesting treatise on the wonders of geology, considers the chalk forma tion as existing all over Ihe world. He speaks of having specimens from the United Slates, and of tho fact that the organic remains are alL similar in their character. We are therefore prepared to believe that the discovery alluded to has been made. Missouri is certainly des tined to become the greatest of the Valley States. Her mineral treasures alone are enough) to make her densely populous and Unraer.sely wealthy. Besides the famous lead mines, sho. possesses iron and coal in boundless ex'.ent manganese, zinc, antimony, cobal t,z;j, (hoiIi er suspicious circumstance affecting tho chalk question,) ochres of variouj colors, salt, nitre, marl, plumbago-, porphyry, jasper, chalcedon baryte?., cinnabar, porcelain clay and copper oret are found in quantities equal to auy future de rmand. So much for the facts in a geological point of view. But there are practical considerations we must not pass by with reference to this sub ject Cnalk ts composed of abotil forty-four parts of carbonic acid and fifty-six of lime, and. this makes il useful in a great many ways. Jn the arts it is a valuable auxiliary. It is used in polishing metals and glass, constructing moulds to cast in, by starch makers and chemists on which to dry their precipitates, by soda water manufactures, by painters and glaziers, and ta deed many other artizana. In agriculture it ha long been well known and used to improve indifferent soils. We need not enlarge on ibis topic, as there are practical directions for its use iu all ihe leading treatise on agriculture. True Sun.
