Interesting from Washington.
"Washington, June 13, 1857. General
.Walker had an interview with the President
last evening. He announced LiinsWf a citi
zen of Nicaragua, and complained of the
illegal and hostile interference of Capt. Da
vis against him. An investigation into the
facts will be ordered. The conversation. was
general and informal. Gen. "Walker has con
cluded to remain here till to-morrow after
noon, and will reach New York on Monday
morning.
Capt. Fayssoux, one of General Walker's
staff, who was a midshipman in the Texrs
navy, applied at the Navy Department today
for his allowance of Uncle Sam's cash : but
the draft was not honored ; as he was never
commissioned, and the law includes only
" officers holding regular commissions."
The llussian government has signified its
readinoss to act in concert with the British
'government in China in all matters except its
quarrel at Canton. The offer has been ac
cepted. 'The Minnesota has been ordered to set sail
on the 25th inst., as Mr. Touccy now con
fers it importaut to make an early demon
stration before Canton.' The Water Witch
arrived to-day, with the crew and guns for
the Plymouth.
The statement that the Chincha Islands are
to be pi iced under the protectorate of Eng
land and France is untrue, as England has
disavowed the treaty made in its name.
The War, Department learns that there are
but ono hundred and fifty Seminole warriors
under Hilly Bowlegs in Florida, opposed to
whom we have a regiment of men.
The Navv Department decides that Gen.
Houston had no power to dismiss Com.
Moore from the Texas navy, and allows him
Lis pay under the act of Congress.
President Buchanan appeared on the pub
lic grounds this afternoou , and was soon Fur
rounded by the ladies, one of whom openly
expressed to him her regrets at being mar
ried. A Painful Scene. Blkninq of a Moth
er and her Child. A sad affair occurred
in the town of Alloppo, near Stcubcnville,
Ohio, not long since. Mr. Peter Lyons, who
. resided in a somewhat secluded locality, went
out on his daily business in the morning, lea
ving his wife and young child at home. On
returning, several hours after, when he came
in sight of his place he Eaw a column of light
f?moko wreathing up into the sunlight from
the grove where his home was situated, and
hurrying forward, perceived nothing but a pile
of smoking rafters where his house had been
In the road, near the ruins, lay his wife, wri
thing in agony, with her clothes in cinders,
and her fiesh burned to a crisp in many pla
ces Her chjld was not to be seen; but af
terwards, in raking over the ashes of the de
stroyed habitation, a few white bones were
discovered all that was left of the little crea
ture. Mrs. Lyons was removed to a neigh-
bor's house, where, at last accounts, she was
etill lingering in great distress, and not cr-
mitai1 t,t ciirrivft From what could be erath-
cred from the unfortunate woman, it appears
that the fire originated in the upper part of
the building, and that, on discovering it, she
threw her child on a bed and hastily ran out
for some water. The progress of the flames
was almost unparalleled in rapidity; and on
her return, seeing all hope of extinguishing
the fire at an end, she also found, to her hor
ror, that she could not reach the room where
ahe had left the child. She made several des
perate attempts, but the flames at last caught
her dress, and the instinct of self-preservation
then caused her to escape from the dwelling,
and to rush along the road, calling for help,
ill the torture of her blazing garments over
powered her, and she fell where her husband
found her.
Genteel Professions. Now-a-davs. ta-
lents entertain a silly notion that their chil
dren must be instructed in a genteel profes
sion; they repudiate the " vulgar" notion of
bringing a boy up as a carpenter, cabinet
maker, shipwright, or in fact any occupation
that involves labor. lie must be educated
for the church, the bar, the law, or for the
post of civil engineer hence those profes
sions are overrun, and hundreds, nay, thous
ands of young men are burthen upon thoir
families, being unable to find anything to do.
Copyists, as a class, are badly paid for their
1 ervices ; but as theirs is a mechanical occu
pation, requiring little exercise of the mind,
"it cannot reasonably be expected that they
should receive the wages of a carpenter or
"any other skilful mechanic. Genteel profes
sion, in a few years, will not be sought after
by fathers and mothers for their sons, as a
good investment for the capital expended up
on their education.

ArPtACDixa Preachers. Tn the fourth cen
tury the preachers were appladued during
the delivery of their discourses, after the
manner of popular lectures and political as
semblies in modern times. Indeed, the fre
quent cries of " Orthordox," and the clapping
of the hands and stamping of the feet in the
churches were as common at this period as
similar proceedings now are at the opera It
is related that Chrysoston. the celebrated
preacher, was applauded in the great church
at Constantinople by the people waving their
plurncs, their handkerchiefs, and their gar
ments, and by others laying their hands on
their hearts and exclaiming, " Thou art wor
thy of the Priesthood."
S3T The military of New York city have
volunteered their services to protect its mu
nicipal rights, which were invaded by the late
legislature. A letter-writer from their says :
The citizen volunteers, a body of men who
can within an hour's notice, bring three
thousand bayonets into the field, have for
mally tendered their service to the Mayor in
case cf an emmergency, though it is to be
hoped that the contest will be adjudicated
without an appeal to arms Things never
theless, are now in a very ticklish position,
and it does not requier much provication to
produce disastrous results.
Senator Gazzam has taken a very active
part in opposition to the late bill which passed
the house for the Sale of the Main Line and
has acted in this matter, as we believe, with
an inteligent eye to the best interests of
Allegheny county not only in his place in the
Senate but here among his fellow-citizens.
In this connection we migit mention that
by request of counsel the Supreme Court had
agreed to postpone the meeting for listening
to tie application for an injunction against
the Sale of the Main Line to Tuesday next,
at ten o'clock, in Phikda'phia Pitts.

One of our Kentucky exchanges has
the following :
We were shown yesterday by Mr. James
R. Baird, of this city, a rare curiosity in do
mestic manufacture, executed by his daugh
ter Margaret Jane, who is row sojourning
with relatives in Nelson county, Ky. With
one set of kmttinjr-needles she has made at
one and the same time four distinct stock
ings, which, although made at once, are en
tirelv disconnected, lue leat must be en
tirely original with the young lady, and how
it was accomplished is a mystery to the old

53,, Republicanism is most assuredly dy
ing out. The New York Times, one of the
ablest and most influential of the organs of
Republicanism during the last Presidential
campaign, has abandoned the cause and come
out as an independent." It is said that by
instinct " rats leave a sinking ship." The
Times has foreseen the downfall of Republi
canism and is preparing to "stand from un

Patronizing the Drama. The citizens
of Montgomery, we infer, are a theatre-going
people. At the close of a late engagement in
that city, a benefit was given to the manager,
who being called before the curtain, addressod
his audiance as follows :
Ladies and Geutleman ; It affords me
much pleasure to return you my thanks. I
am delighted to sec you all ichat few have
honored vs with your presence, since we came.
Ladies and gentlemen it would afford me
pleasure to stay longer, but I did not Irinj
along money enough.
Hard Travelixo. A man traveling by
stage in Michigan was unfortunate enough to
be ou a poor road where ho was obliged to go
on foot and carry a rail to help pry the stage
out of the mud holes, and becoming exhausted
and impatient ho addressed the driver :
Look a'here, old fellow, I've no objection
to paying ten cents a mile for my fare, and
no objection in going a foot, but I'll be d d
if I carry this rail another rod."
A Lawyer charged a poor man three dollars
for advice.
There's the money" said his client, "its
all the money I have in the world, and my
family Cave been a long time without pork."
' Thank God," replied tho lawyer, "my
wife has never known the want of pork since
we were married."
" Nor ever will," rejoined the countryman,
"so long a3 she has so great a hog as you."
SSy The editor of a French paper assigns
as a reason for its discontinuance :
Our journal had but one solitary subscriber,
a dealer in groceries who paid in articles out
of the store. For two weeks the two editors
of the paper lived exclusively on salt fish and
champagne.
3T A young aian stepped into a book
seller's shop and asked for a " Young Man's
Companion."
" Well, sir," said the bookseller, " here is

traveler of a gentlemanly bar-room loafer, a
few days since. " No, sir ; the bar keeps
me here !"

OBITUARY.
At the residence of his father, in this
place, Mr. JOHN COLLINS, aged 20 years.
The volume of life has rarely opened with
more promise than in the case of him, whose
early and sudden death we are called upon to
mourn. He had closed hia collegiate career
with honor, and returned to the parental roof.
full of hifrh hopes and manly ambition. Al
ready had he made himself master of the
most abstruse volumes of Law, and, tho' he
had not yet attained his majority, was fast
prepairing to enter the ranks of his profes
sion. His intimate friends, unobtrusive as
he was could not fail to sec in his practical
good sense, his sound and logical manner of
treating questions, an indication of the com-
pletest success in after life.
But genious when mingled with the clod?
of the valley, however it may fall upon the
ear of the world, affords no consolation to
mourning friends ! Turn we, then, to ex
amine the life and character of our departed
friend. He teas pious I lie had the Bimpli
city and truthfulness of a child ; while his
frank and manly bearing secured to him all
the respect and confidence due to those of
riper years. During a short but intimate
acquaintance, the writer never beard him ut
ter a word which might not be inscribed on
his headstone and do honor to his memory.
No profane or obscene word ever polluted his
lips, nor ever so much as an unkind cxpres
sion. He had no enemies for he deserved
none. What wonder then that all who gazed
on his remains after " deaths effacing fingers,
had swept the lines of his manly features
felt a grisf that would not be controlled
May Heaven impart to his friends resigna
tion ; and to us who remain to buffet with
the world as pure a "walk and conversation
as his ! J.

There is a clock in our place
That regulates the town.
With tiny hands and pretty face,
Though it looks old and brown.

It beats all clocks, I know,
It went and stood in Noah's ark
Four thousand years ago.
There is a clock in our place
At THOMPSON'S store 'tis found;

And rarest clock in town.

Bought twenty years ago.

The clock is in his store,
And has been running, without feet,
Four thousand years and more.
