A Yankee Fctller.
Wb were travelling in the far West, when we
taw, for the first time, a regular-built Yaukee
pedler equipage. We had, indeed, previously
Been some specimens of tliose iravtiauy
containing: combs, cigars,. whips, mousetraps,
etc., which" perambulate the regions of down
cast; but of the regular, scientific, itinerant
Yankee pedler, recently from the land of blue
laws, this jjus the first to meet our astonished
md admiring eyes. The vehicle itself might
pass for quite a respectable 6tagc-coach, and
was, together with the horses, an article of
traffic. It id a principle with your genuine
Yankee to sell every thing, with the single ex
ception of soul and body ; and there are not
wanting those who doubt even the validity of
this exception. Our pedler gentleman had con
tracted to sell his coach at Pittsburg for three
hundred dollars, after the termination of hia
adventure. His horses he had sold at great
profits, to be delivered also when he had com
pleted bis voyage. We were sitting in a small
tavern when our hero made his appearance, and
asked the landlady if she wished to buy any
knick-knacks, to which question he received an
immediate and decided so. An ordinary man
would have been discomfittcd by such a recep
tion, but it fell on the Yankee as ineffectually
'As lightning on an iceberg, when
On the impassive ice the lightnings play."
With perfect coolness, und a deliberate step,
he marched to his locomotive shop, and rc-ap-pcared
with a tin box about fourteen inches
square, and as many deep, which he placed on
the bar counter; the laudlady all the while
protesting that she wanted none of his kick
shaws. Without noticing in the slightest degree these
vehement exclamations, our Connecticut philo
sopher, who seemed mcutally to reside at an
elevation absolutely inaccessible to the gusts ,
'and blasts of petty emotions, proceeded to un
pack his box, and spread its contents in orderly
array ver the counter. We there sawim illus
tration of the maxim that "act is stranger than
fiction," "If we were in the habit of betting,"
we would wager any reasonable sum that no
mortal man, seeing that innumerable variety of
articles, would believe that they all came out of
the tin box, or could all be replaced in it. But
to it was. There were little cells for thimbles,
pins, bodkins, needles, jewelry, combs, tapes,
eilks, threads, laces, bobbins, and an endless
variety of ct ccteras which have passed from
our recollection. That Connecticut gentleman
must have had a great memory. He knew the
place for everything, and when he got hold of
an article to repack it, it went by instinct to its
appropriate receptacle ; and when they were all
repacked, and one could no longer doubt the
capability of the box, the spectators all felt as
the people of old did in regard to Goldsmith's
echoolmaster, who wondered
"That one small head could carry all he knew."
To resume our narrative. The glittering ar
ticles were all arrayed on the corner of the bar.
The females of the household were speedily
congregated, and, charitable as we constitution
ally are, we must admit that they violated that
portion of the decalogue which forbids us to
covet anything that is our neighbor's." The
landlady herself, strong as she felt herself to
be before being tempted, soon evinced her le
gitimate descent from mother Eve ; and, hostess
though she was, she found that she had "count
ed without her host."
'A change came o'er her economic mind,"
and she was soon among the busiest in negotia
ting the terms of a bargain. In a word, she
fell before the combined charms of a regular
assortment of Yankee notions.
To cap the climax, a staid old bachelor, who
esteemed himself vanity-proof, and oft ex
claimed, from the bottom of his heart,
"Vain pomp and glory of the world, I hate ye,"
melted away before the meridian sun of temp
tation. He purchased a cassimere vest of fine
quality for the tin box contained buti 6mall
part of tho stock in trade, and the coach itself
was a complete shop, containing articles adapt
ed as well to masculine as to feminine occasions.
We may as well Bay, in this place, that we there
first saw Webster's quarto dictionary in two
volumes.
What a queer event, to encounter the erudite,
the recondite, the venerable, and nevcr-cnough-to-be-recommended
Noah, at a shanty in the
woods-of tho West.
But, as we perceive we are spinning a long
yarn, we conclude by informing our readers
that it is fact and not "fiction," that the pro
prietor Of the tin box did not repack until ho
had received fifteen good dollars for goods
"eold and delivered."
8o much for perseverance, and not being dis
couraged at a cool reception. We thought then,
and think now, that our pedler acted like a man
cf talent, end one who knew the world, espe
cially the fairest and lest part of it. Boston

Anproacliiii? Change in Ladles'
Dress.
The Syracuse Standard says : "Several ladies
appeared in our streets, yesterday, with dresses
of a very laconic pattern, and pantaloons a In
Turk. The new style looks decidedly tidy and
neat, and imparts to the wearer quite a spright-
Upon this, the Boston I'ost, which, as every
one knows, is one of those ultra conservative
papers that have no regard for "woman's
rights," or any other kind of progress, says:
"If a gentleman should meet a lady, dressed
as above, would it be an act of politeness to
offer her a cigar ? We think it would. Query
If this new fashion prevails, what arc to become
of the side-saddles?"
The Oswego Journal, of Saturday, says quite
an excitement was produced at the steamboat
landing, day before yesterday, at the appearance
of a couple of ladies with the short Turkish
dress. They were travelling in company with
gentlemen, and were evidently people of culti
vation. A revolution in female costume is un
doubtedly in preparation. There can be nothing
more ungraceful than the long, draining dresses
which sweep the streets and steps wherever la
dies move. As a matter of personal comfort,
the Turkish drcs3 must be most agreeable, in
addition to its beauty. The change would be
great. At first, rather trying to ladies, to be
sure, but it cannot be worse, nay, half as bad
as the transition from "balloon sleeves" to the
close dress of the present day, or many other
changes which fashion brings about every few
years. In point of beauty, no costume is equal
to that of the Turkish. Its convenience is su
perior to all others.
The Springfield Republican says that a lady in
a short dress and with loose trousers, gathered
at the ankles, passed through town a day or two
since, and produced quite a sensation among
those who chanced to be in and around the
depot. Her dress was very rich, and we have
the authority of a lady witness for saying that
it was lK-autifully becoming. AYe learn that it
oegins to be noticed that those who arc most
disposed to adopt the new style liiuesiur.il feet,
and those opposed, large ones. The success or
failure of the fashion will depend, therefore, on
" the understanding."
A lady correspondent of the Syracuse Journal
thus writes in reference to the Turkish style of
female apparel, now coming into fashion in some
places :
"Having this morning accidentally observed
a lady dressed after the new style, and percci
ving no change in her garments except skirts
shorter than are usually worn, and heavy pant
alets, I felt a desire for some information upon
the subject. Will any of the ladies a la Turque,
please enlighten the ignorance of us who dress
a la Amerique as to the advantage they derive
from the new mode ? Docs it free the chest,
and give room for the healthy action of the
heart and lungs ? Docs it relieve the hips and
abdomen of their ruinous burden ? If it con
sists in a mere shortening of skirts, for the
weight of which is substituted hot and cumber
some pantalets, how is our dress improved? I
can see that for walking in the wet and snow,
for going up and down stairs, ftnd perhaps for
some other purposes, the new dress would be
convenient. It will afford inadequate protection
for the feet and J ankles in col I weather, espe
cially while riding, and in warm weather it will
be less cool than the present arrangement.
Short ladies will object to it, and with good
reason, as it will lessen their apparent stature
by three or four inches, and no one likes to ap
pear diminutive. A change in our dress is de
sirable, and if it be made comfortable, conve
nient and tasteful, it will be readily adopted.
If any lady will instruct us about these matters,
we shall be much obliged."

"Vance, Just Xoiv.
The increasing tendency towards monarchical
principles, and the fading hopes of the Republic,
arc thus sketched by a correspondent of the
JVcio York Tribune:
"Every idea of genuine liberty, of equality,
of popular rights, and of alliance between dif
ferent nations, is repudiated and forgotten by
the French save by a few who are persecuted
by the Government and ridiculed by the people
the class called the Finance bless the moment
in which Louis Napoleon entered France, be
cause his rc-cstablishmcnt of all the old preju
dices and routine has secured the wealth in
their hands. Those who are fed by the State,
who live upon annuities, sinecures, or the fonds
secrets, arc now satisfied that none of those
montrositics, which were the cardinal sins of
the old monarchy, arc in danger of being re
pressed by the powerful and revengeful action
of the popular wrath. The army lovc3 the
name of Napoleon, because, under Napoleon,
the army was France and it hopes to sec, onco
more, the timo when the fields were deserted for
the field, and a uniform was superior to tho badge
of any more peaceful profession.
"Most astonishing of all, however, is the re
volution in popular feeling toward the man who
has nothing remarkable but his name, and that
name hardly legitimately his own. The popu
lar classes, who have nothing to hope or to z lin
from monarchical corruption, who arc warm
andsinccrc in their love of liberty and the gen
eral welfare, who arc true to their fellows of all
nations, are now gathered under the banner of
Louis Napoleon. How was this-strangc revul

sons, yet the fact is undeniably clear. The
sagacity of his friends, and the imprudence of
his enemies, have worked together to this result,
and now universal suffrage has lost its fangs,
and the President no longer fears it. The As
sembly is opposed to him ; but what can an
Assembly do when the people that elected it
desert it, and the power against which it fights
persecutes it ?'

How to lrcscrve Hie Union.
Fxtract from the Fa reicell Address of Geri. Juekson.
Bit the constitution cannot be maintained,
nor the Union preserved, in opposition to public
feeling, by the mere exertion of the coercive
powers confided to the general government. The
foundations must be laid in the affections of the
people ; in the security it gives to life, liberty,
character, and property, in every quarter of
the country, and the fraternal attachments
which the citizens of the several States bear to
one another as members of one political family,
mutually contributing to promote the happiness
of each other. Hence the citizens of every
State should studiously avoid every thing cal
culated to wound the sensibility or offend the
just pride of the people of the other States;
and they should frown upon any proceedings
within their own borders likely to disturb the
tranquility of their political brethren in other
portions of the Union. In a country so exten
sive as the United States, and with pursuits so
varied, the internal regulations of the several
States must frequently differ from one another
in important particulars ; and this difference is
unavoidably increased by the various principles
upon which the American colonics were origi
nally planted principles whichjiad taken deep
root in the social relations before the revolution,
and therefore of necessity influencing their
policy since they became free and independent
States. P.ut each State has the unquestionable
right to regulate its own internal concerns ac
cording to its own pleasure ; ami while it does
not interfere with the rights of the Union, every
State must be the sole judge of the measures
proper to secure the safety of its citizens, and
promote their happiness ; and all efforts on the
part of the people of other States to cast odium
upon their institutions, and all measures calcu
lated to disturb their rights of property, or to
put in jeopardy their peace and internal tran
quility, arc in direct opposition to the spirit in
which the Union was formed, and must endanger
its safety. Motives of philanthropy may be
assigned for this unwarrantable interference ;
and weak men may persuade themselves for a
moment that they arc laboring in the cause of
humanity, and asserting the rights of the human
race ; but every one, upon sober reflection, will
sec that nothing but mischief can come from
these improper assaults upon the feelings and
rights of others. Rest assured that the men
found busy in this work of discord, arc not
worthy of your confidence, and deserve your
strongest reprobation.
tCT" "Fellow citizens," said a Western dem
agogue who was defending himself from the
atttacks "of hia opponents, "my enemies not
content with endeavoring to ruin my political
prospects, have assassin-like attempted to blast
my good name by their insiduous reports."
Abner then stated what the rumor was, and
continued:"! rejoice fellow citizens, to have
it in my power to fasten the lie upon this mali
cious and attrocious slanderer. 1 sec among
you one of the most estimable citizens of this
county, whose character for truth and integrity
is above all 'question. Squairc Schooler, to.
whom I allude, is acquainted with all the facts,
and I call upon him here to state whether this
rumor is true or false. I pause for a reply."
Whereupon Squairc Schooler slowly arose, and
in his strong, slow and sonorous voice, said :
" I rather think you did it, Abner !' " You old
scoundrel!" exclaimed Abner, "why did you
interrupt mc, while I was discussing great con
stitutional questions, with your low personali
ties?" And he accompanied this objurgatory
exclamation with such a "surge" of gcsticula
lation, and he stepped back beyond the platform,
fell backward on a big dog, amid the howls of
which, and the deafening roars of the "sover
eigns," the meeting was effectually broken up.

I'rclly Thoughts.
What is crime? A" wretched vagabond, trav
elling from place to place in fruitless eiutcavor
to escape from justice, who is constantly enga
ged in hot pursuit; a foe to virtue and happi
ness, though at times the companion of poor
?roocev, which is too often made to suffer for
The guilty.
What is thought? A fountain from which
flows all good and evil intentions a mental
fluid, electrical in force and rapidity of move
ments, silently flowing unseen within its own
secret avenue; yet it is the controlling power of
all animated matter, and the chief main spring
of all our actions.
What is happiness? A butterfly that roves
from flower to flower in the vast garden of ex
istence, and which is eagerly pursued by the
multitude in the vain hope of obtaining the
prize; yet it continually eludes their grasp.
What is fashion? A beautiful envelope for
mortality, presenting a glittering and polished
exterior, the appearance of which gives no cer
tain indication of the real value of what is con
tained therein.
What is wit? A sparkling beverage that is
highly exhilcruting and agreeable when parta
ken at the expense of others; but when used at
our own cost it becomes bitter and unpleasant.
What is knowledge? A key that unravels
all mysteries, which unlocks the entrance, and
discoveries new unseen, and untroden paths in
the hitherto unexplored field of science and lit
erature. What is fear? A frightful substance to the
really guilty, . but a vain harmless shadow to
the conscientious, honest, and upright.
What is joy? The honey of existence, really
beneficial and agreeable when partaken of in
moderation, but highly injurious when used to
excess.
California Scnoritns.
The native women of Mexico must not be
judged by the strict rules that wo arc accustom
ed to apply in forming our estimate of the char
acter f Mir twn fair countrywomen. The
dark-eyed native girl is almost always unedu
cated, and her actions are regulated more by
impulse than by any fixed principle. She is
always warm hearted and generous: her ears
ever open to the talc of misery, and her hand
ever ready to assist.
Throughout the Mexican war, the American
soldiers found friends and favor among the na
tive women; and many wero the instances in
vhich our sick and wounded, who would have
lecn ruthlessly murdered by the men, were
concealed and kindly and carefully nursed by
tie women. Often, too, the designs of the enc
ny were communicated by some pitying Seno
lita, and our soldiers put upon their guard
against the midnight assassin or the intended
surprise.
With us, she is rarely of pure Spanish de
scent; her dark complexion, sparkling black
eyes and raven hair, bespeak her Indian blood.
She is scrupulously neat, fond of dress and or
naments, and devoted to the dance. Her move
ments arc naturally graceful rarely is there
seen any affectation about her. She moves
through the mazes of her native dances with
the most unstudied grace, and never tires of
the amusement. Her style of dress is peculiar.
In former times pure white used to be a favor
ite color; but since the irruption of the Ameri
cans, rich and many hued silks set off her usu
ally fine figure to great advantage. Bonnets
the utterly repudiates, but gracefully throws
the long rcbozo over her head and shoulders,
leaving her face uncovered.
. Until recently, the Spanish women have been
almost the only ones in our midst. Their beau
tiful language sounded still more melodious
when uttered in their soft and musical tones.
Now, however, our own charming ladies arc
fast increasing, and the California Scnorita
sutlers so much in the contrast, that ere long
she will be remembered only in connection with
pioneer life in California. San Francisco Herald.
Coal in Oregon.
The Oregonian of the 8th March, publkhc3
the following:
Edward D. Warbess, Esq., from Cowlitz, sent
to our office on Tuesday last, a lump of coal
weighing fourteen pounds, with the following
memorandum:
"A vein of coal has been discovered by Geo.
Roberts and Capt. Geo. Drew, on a bench of the
Cowlitz river, 18 miles from its junction with
tho Columbia, and about one mile from the
main Cowlitz. The vein is two feet thick, and
about half a mile in width, 15 feet above high
water mark, and about 40 feet below the surface
of the bluff mountain."
We have tried the coal in our stove, and can
testify that it burns well, although, there docs
not appear to be as much bituminous matter or
gas as in the coal now used by our steamers.
Several colliers have examined the specimen
sent us, and pronounced it to be of good quality.
They say that if this is the surface coal, upon
opening the bed it will doubtless prove to be of
he first quality.
Wc regard this discovery as move import .tut
ihun anv of the rM mine; wi!in cr boidci
If it proves as extensive as has been represen
ted, and the coal turns out to be of afrgood
quality as appearances seem to warrant, it will
be a source of wealth to Oregon, and of infinite
importance to the commercial interests of the
whole Pacific coast. Gov. Ogden, of the Hud
um's Eaj Coiipi;ity,-ut Tunoouver, we" -unler-ctand,
has eent a boat and crew to bring a
quantity away, that it may be fairly tested.
Of one tiling we arc quite sure, that it is coal,
and makes a good hot fire. A short time will
dcvclopc all.
Fl'BTIIER PAETICI LABS OF TUK COAL MlKES.
We saw, last night, quite a large piece of the
bituminous coal taken out of a deposit recently
discovered nc.tr Bcnicia. It was found about
10 miles ftom Beuicia, and U miles from Suisun
Bay, in the property of Mr. Thorne, formerly
Gen. Vallcjo's. The mine is in a bluff, which
fronts upon a little trout stream. The vein has
already been opened to the depth of two feet,
and the workmen have not yet gotten through
it. It has been traced for a mile and a half.
It has been tested by steamboat captains and
others, and it is declared to be of splendid
quality, free from sulphur and other minerals,
which adds much to its value. On top of the
coal was also discovered a vein of the very best
slate, suitable for roofing, and existing in im
mense quantities, sufficient to supply the wants
of all California. These discoveries will prove
of inestimable value to the State. Preparations
are being made to work these mines extensive
ly. Specimens of the coal may be seen at our
office. S'tn Francisco Herald.
American Meant y in rails.
Our country women are famous for their
beauty, in Europe, and we find the following
tribute paid to them by the French correspon
dent of the Herald. But what shall we say of
the other fact a prevalence of a certain com
plexion which it indecently mentions?
"M. Berger, the Prefect of Paris, gave on
the same evening, his last grand ball of the
ecasoru 4 which wero present about five thou
sand persons.
The Americans were in great number, and
their ladies and daughters were not I assure
you, among the less pretty of the assembly. It
is generally remarked here, that the American
blood is finer than the French blood. Our la
dies have certainly an irreproachable figure:
they arc principally remarkable for their taste
and refinement; but the American ladies have
much finer heads, and are more beautiful. A
remark, very curious to make, is, that the wo
men of fair complexion and light hair have to
tally disappeared from Paris, and we have now
more brunettes than brunes. This observation
was made to mc at the ball of M. Berger, where
an English lady, who had the finest auburn hair
ever seen, was pointed at as a wonder. She
was the grand-daughter of George IV. of Eng
land, and was certainly one of the finest-looking
women present at the party."
Facts for Farmers.
It will not do to hoc a great field for little
crops, nor to mow twenty acres for five loads of
hay. Enrich the land, and it will pay you for
it. Better farm twenty acres well than fifty
acres by halves.
In dry pastures dig for water on the brow of
a hill; springs arc more frequent near the sur
face of a height than in a vale.
The foot of the owner is the best manure for
land.
It is best to cut grain before it is fully or
dead ripe. When the straw immediately below
the grain is so dry that on twisting it no juice
is extracted, is should be cut. For then there
is no circulation of juice to the car. Every
hour it stand uncut after this stage is attended
with loss.
Obtain good seed, prepare your ground well,
sow early and pay no attention to the moon.
Accounts should be kept detailing the expense
and product of each field.
When an implement is no longer wanted for
the season, lay it carefully aside, but first let it
be well cleaned.
Cultivate your heart aright, as well as your
farm; and remember "whatsoever a man soweth
that shall he also reap."
Do not begin farming by building an exten
sive house nor a spacious barn, till you have
something to store in it.
Keep notes of all remarkable events on your
farm. Recording even your errors, will be of
benefit.
Good fences make good neighbors.
Experiments arc commendable, but do not
become an habitual experimenter.
Sheep put into fresh stubbles are apt to be
killed by eating too much grain
One animal well fed is of more value than
two poorly kept.
Sow clover deep; it secures it against tho
drought.
Ground once well ploughed is better than
thrice poorly.
Bountiful crops aic more profitable than poor
ones. Make the soil rich, pulverize, it well, and
keep it clean; aud it gcneiiilly will t-t productive
Cows well fed in winter, give more milk in
summer.
When you see the fence down, put it up; for
if it remains until to-morrow it may rain.
A strong horse will work all day without food,
but keep him at it and he will not last leng. "

Opening or the Great Exhibition. On
Thursday, the 1st of May, the great Exhibition
of the Industry of all Nations in the Crystal
Palace in Hyde Park, was opened with much
ceremony, by the Queen in State. Thirty thous
and persons were present, and notwithstanding
the immense multitude, the ceremonies went off
without accident or mishap. Up to the previous
evening the Crystal Palace was a scene of busy
life, but the immense mass of contributions was
finally arranged, the rubbish wholly cleared
away, and the building presented a most mag
nificent appearance.
On Thursday morning the doors were opened
at an early hour, a very strong police force be
ing on the ground to prevent disorder or confu
sion. The multitude of exhibitors an 1 ticket
holders began to pour in, and quietly and with
out confusion, took the places assigned to them.
By half-past eleven o'clock the multitude wai
admitted, and then the doors were closed to
visitors until after the visit of the Queen.
The Royal Commissioners assembled then in
front of the platform in the transept, which had
been erected for the Queen. At 12 o'clock a
flourish of trumpets announced the approach of
Her Majesty, who. entered by the North entrance,
attended by the Royal family, the Frincc of
Prussia and other guests from foreign courts.
As she entered, an immense choir occupying the
north gallery of hc transept, sang "God save
the Queen," in which many of the spectators
joined. Sir George Smart superintended this
part of the musical services.
The formal ceremonies and delivery of speech
es, took place as announced, and a prayer was
then pronounced by the Archbishop of Canter
bury. The Hallelujah chorus of Handel's Mes
siah was then performed, under the direction tf
Sir Henry Bishop.
The Royal procession then moyl round thn
building, Mr. Paxton, the architect, taking the
lead. As the Queen passed, the multitude rose
and received her with cheers. The eight great
organs in the building 'successively struck up
with fine music as Her Majesty passed them,
who, after returning to-thc platform, announced
the Exhibition opened, which Was communicated
to the public by a flourish of trumpets aud a
national salute from guns at such a distance as
not to endanger the glass house. The Queen
and suite then departed, and the door w.is again
opened.
Outside of the Crystal Talacc the crowd war
immense, and the lines of carriages unprece

police.
