Texas was formerly the "Botany Boy," of the United States, and consequently her early set tlers were of the daredevil, coarse, and illiterate class. The following obituary speech is said to have been delivered in the Texus Legislature a lew years since : "li seems there was a member belonging to it by the name of Dill, who seceded from that body while it was in session, the inducing cause of this secession being typhoid lever and a lack of wind. On the day which followed his decease Mr. Gherketi, n member, arose to atiiiouce the melancholy fact to the House. Another niem ber of that body, named Sinker, was the chronic opponent of Gherkin in till matters of legisla tion, from a cambric needio to a sheet anchor, and never neglected a cliauco to give him a shot. Lr. (iberkeu, alter a fo'emn pause, says : 'Mister speaker! 1 have rlz in my seat for be purpose of informing this yer house that Sol omon I)ill, a member of this yer body, whose nont is now unfortunately vacant, has foil a grim and destr ying tyrant, who yesterday put an end to his eareor. and I lint b- is now dead at the house of this wilow Jon.-s, on the hi:!, whero he and many n embers of this yer house boards, wlio gave him intention throughout a leuthy and 4ioneipieiilly protracted ty pliers fever, and who fiirnhed board and lodging to the members of this yer legivlature of uniform price of four dol li'iif a week, washing not included ! It ain't with feelings of no ordinary regret, that I make this er communication to this yer august body, Mr. Speaker, for I knowed the deceased and I knowed him from A to izird ! He, like nil other men. bad his faults, and who ain't got em ? It he was not strictly virtuous- among females, who is? I put it lo you and this yer august body to an swer! lie may have been slighJy addicted to whisky; but who in Texas ani't ? and so let that man shy the first rock. "He may" have been quick to use his tools ! but who in Texas ain't ? But he never drawer's a weapon if he was'nt mad ! People say hs didn't pay hi debts! Who does in 'lexas, Mr. Speaker Among his virtues, he was fond of encouraging the breed of that noble animal, the boss, in the exlensivest manner, and, Mr. Speak er, conscientiously attended every race within twenty miles tc this yer place, and in a gentle inanjy manlier back'd his opinion onto certain events in the future to the extent of his ability, lie was a good citizen, an honest man, and a per feet gentleman, and in his melancholly disease society has lost a bright ornament and this yer house, but more especially over tho domestic .circle of Mrs. Jones, where, as I said before, board and lodging is furn shed to the members of this yer house at a uniform price of four n'uf a week, washing nflt included, Mr. Speaker.' "Mr. Sluker here started up, saying that he 'arose to a pint of order.' "Speaker requested tho honorable number to 'state his pint.' Mr. Sinker said : " Is it in order for a member of this house in bis speech onto a dead man, to ring in a boarding Jiouse kep' by his aunt and furnished by Jimisclf f The Speaker decided the 'pint' to be not well -taken, an J, after a withering glance at Slaker, JMr. Giicrken proceeded : "This is too solemn a lime, Mr. Speaker, to notice personalities and side mark. I'll see that bis motion is cooked hereafter, and not on a mel jiiiehollr subject. To reuine the deceased : Whatever can be said of him, no man can de dare that he was't a patriot ! look back on his record, and see what's th.ir ! for Dr. Watts eloquent remarks; 'By their record shall ye know me.' Mr. Speaker, what is that record V "'Virtue is its own reward, Mr. Speaker, and no great action was ever done but w hat the man who does it was barked after by somebody. But the deceased, intrenched in the glorious ar tnor of patriotism, with hand upon this yer ree ord,could defy chain lightning in any shape, and when prostrated and niaciated he died on his prostrate bed at the house of Mrs. Jones, where, as I had occasion before to remark, no matter whose corns is trod on, the members of' this yer house was furnished with board and j lodging (t a uniform pti'o of fur n'.if a week, washing not included the thought of tlmt l.ill nml that record, and that patriotism catno Id his wounded sensibilities and his sinking torm like a heavenly angel, and death couldn't set Li n even a half turn hack, "I close, Mr. Sneaker, this melancholy and ufilii'ting duty, that a committee be appointed to draw resolutions on thii deceased, and report; at the same time remarking that the gorgeous and smiling heavens has opened to receive his mortal spirit, and that his earthly remains will he buried to-morrow at 3 o'clock, from the house of Mrs. Jones, where, it is eminently proper to remark, and I do emphatic, that board and lodg ing can be had at the moderate price of four dollars n'af a week washing not included, where the deceased boarded and occupied an elegant room now unfortunately vacant. Peace to his ashes. Charles S. Stiutto.v, the veritable) General Tien Thumb, says the Bridgeport, Cor.necticut Standard, is residing hero in his native town, lie has travelled nearly the world over, and has umassed a fortune (or himself, as well as made his mother, two sisters and a younger brother, independent. The little general is now in his twenty-sixth year. His habits are unexception able, and his intellect and general business abili ty are such that he personally attends to his own finances, and transacts all the business appcr- Itaining to the leasing of his house, loaning his money on bond and mortgage, and looking after" his estate in general. The pclie general owns a fine yacht bearing his own name, which he sails himself with as much natural skill as an' "old salt," who sails out of Bridgeport harbor, lie also keeps a fine pair of Shetland ponies and a splendid fast horse for his own driving, as well as a pair of highly trained hunting dogs. His rifle and fishing tackle were, of course made to suit his diminutive size, and ho is a very suc cessful sportsman. I Its killed several deer w hile traveling west last year. A few months since, the little general was made a Free Mason. He has already taken three degrees, and expresses a determination to ascend the mystio ladder until he has reached tho top round. Although Gener al Tom Thumb has always led a lk'e of excite ment, and twice after retiring to private life, has felt compelled to exhibit himself again to keep off the ennui, he remarked to tho writer of this article last week while quietly twirling his ele gant lit'le mustache, of which he seems quite proud, that he hoped one of these days to got married, in "which event," he added with a roguish look, "I guess that the cares of my fam ily, added to my ordinary duties, will give me enough to occupy my attention, and prevent the necessity of again seeking the excitement of a traveling exhibition !" The general is something of a politician, be contributes liberally to chari table objects, and is highly respected by his fellow citizens. He has been offered the candida cy tor several public offices, but ho says lie leaves such honors for smaller men. (Glimpse at the Mormons. Dan do Qui'le, well known as one of tho most popular w riters of this coast, writes to the Ter ritorial Enterprise of what ho sees at Salt Lake City. Afier the city he speaks of Mormon La dies. Meddling with their women is a business of such extreme peril, that few dare undertake it ; then, it is said, that tho women themselves lay snares for the venturesome. Outsiders dread a something, they scarce know what, and so keep the straight and narrow path.. Not a night passes here but there is a ball in some ward, mid often there are dances in several wards on the same evenii g , . , 1 he trice ot admission to all otl these ward balls is the same viz : a poun d Of caudle-, a bushel of wheat, or sixty cents in money. This, mind yon, is no invention of mine. Wheat, apples, rags, soap and all. kinds of "truck," are taken for admission tickets at the theatre. Specie is extremely scarce here. There is doubtless, much hoaided, but very little in circulation. Brigham, no doubt, has a big pile of rusty twenties stored away, for a rainy day. Every ball and every dance is here presided over by a bishop, and is opened and closed with prayer. The closing prayer invariably com nun ces "Oh Lord we thank thee that wo have again been permitted to go forth into tho dance before thee." etc. No one dare shuftlo a boo; i r i i , i i . ' before the opening prayer, and woo to him or her i . 1 r 1 who shall venture to trip the light fantastic, or to tho slightest degree "go forth," after tho closing prayer had been made.

Sho stood at the wash tub when her twenty-fifth birth day hi rived. Tho hair, the lips, the eyes, were not calculated to excite the heart. Five cross young ones were about the house crying some breaking things, and one urging the necessity of an immediate supply of the lacteal secretion. She stopped in despair and sat down, and tears trickled down her once plump and ruddy che. k. Alas! Niri' v, early marriages are not the dodge. Better inj y youth at home, and hold lovers at a proper distance until you Lave the muscle, limb and heart enough to f ice a frowning world and fami ly. If a chap really cares f r you, he can wait fr two or three years, make presents, take you to concerts and so on, until the time comes. Ear ly marriages and early cabbages are tender pro ductions.

This is a pecul iar an, and thus skilfully analyzed in the Exam iner ; "lis principles must bo somew hat careful ly studied by those who would succeed in it. Tho disregard of theso principles is tho cause of the prosiness w hich characterizes so much of our newspaper literature. The newspaper is not a thing to be studied scarcely one to be read. It is to bo glanced over. The articles, then, aro to be so written as to attract and hold attention. Processes of thought and reasoning aro to be shut out; results only are to appear. Argument is to be suggested, rather than stated. Usually one point is enough for an article. Some single nail should be struck fair upon tho head, and then left at once. Introductions are a nuisance. Inferences are alwas skipped. Tho sentences should be short. Every word should leap with life. Condensation should be extreme. Subor dinate thoughts should bo thrown nway. Tho object is, not to treat a subject in full, but to produce a certain effect. AH that is not neces sary to the effect should bo discarded. Ho w ho has the nerve to do this, with a soul that fires with a great thought, and the manliness to litter it freely, may wield a power with llio pen which no cepter can rival. Tho tendencies in profes sional life are to dctcrrioratiou of style. The constant diductism of tho pulpit often degenerates into diffasetiess. Tho reiteration of points at the bar, and tho precision of legal style, tend to pro duce dryness and repetition. In no way can the professional man, more ellectively make his w ords instinct with life and pow er, than by week ly practice in tho columns of a newspaper. Parties going to Boise, should go well armed. Tho Indians on the Payette river, aro known to be hostile, and unarmed parties are sure to bo attacked. Lata letters speak of trains being stopped and robbed by theso graceless seamps( and there is every reason to apprehend that th ey will add murder to their other crimes. Soveral months must elapse before the' military expedi tion reaches that quarter, and in tho meantime the miners must rely upon their own strong arms for protection. To this end, all who visit tho mines should go well armed and prepared for any emergency. Mountaineer. I his is a conclusive argument in favor of the immediate filling up of the Oregon Cavalry negimcnt. The troops are needed, and if Oregon fails to furnish them, her interest will suffer. Government does not ask assistance from this State, but offers to muster into service, equip and pay men enough in Oregon to protect her interests. It is a true saying that, they who will not help themselves, are unworthy of assistance. Oregon can furnish the volunteers by offering sufficient inducements, and if sho does not do it the men will not be raised ; for a draft will not be resorted to. Foit Peach Democrats. Tho following from Prentice is good advice for a growling set of dotnogogues in tins country, eager for the spoils, who have so much to say about tho action of Government : Those persons who aro constantly on tho look out for occasions or psetexts to create dissatis faction in regard to all tho means adopted for carrying on the war, are better partisians than patriots, and belter fictionists than partisans. As exchange says that Ingraliani's blockade raising at Charleston is something like tho fel low's bear hunt.

A True Bill. Tho Wheeling Litelligenccr having had a pretty thorough experience of se cession intrigues and sympathizers, says : Tho cry of "Abolition" won't answer but one purpose, and that is to toll rebels by.

Observer, "are given to such a literal reading of the Scriptures, that they fake every thing just as it stands, ai d construe every proph ecy as they would an article of tho Constitution. It is said that w hen one of this sort was pressing his views hard upon tho celebrated Dr. B , that able commentator asked him how tho pre diction is to be literally fulfilled, which says that 'kings shall bo nursing fathers to the church?' " But tho following conversation which actually occurred in tho family of another correspondent of the Observer, is a very amusing specimen of the same system : " Susan," said the man of tho house to his maid-servant, " why do your church people have such noisy exhortations in your meetings? It seems to me not very becoming in a Christian asssmbly." "Why, Sir, the Biblo bids us to." "The Bible !" " Yes, Sir." "Where?" " Why, tho prophet says Cry aloud and spare not; lift up thy voice like a trumpet,' which means that wc should holler in meeting, if 1 understand tho Bible." " H-e-in ! Yes, Susan that passago has not happened to occur to my mind in that light. Thank you for tho idea. But to chango tho sub ject, Susan 1 want you, the next time you go to meeting, to take n doso of epicac." " Mo take a doso of epicac !" " Yes, that's w hat 1 say." " Epicac ! Sir, I'm not sick," " Perhaps not; but you ought to take it." "But why bo Sir?" ' Because the Biblo snys that you should, S'lsan." " The Bible say I should take epicac ?" " Why, not exactly, Susan. But it says that you ought to take un emetic of some kind ; I merely mentioned epicac, because it is the mild est and safest." " What do you mean ?" " Why, I'll tell you, Susan. That same prophet whom you have just quoted as enjoining upon God's children tho duty of shouting in meeting, says nlso, ' Cast yo up ! Cast ye up!" " So he does, Sir." " And that means ' take an emetic.' doesn't it ?' "Oh! Sir, how can you talk so?" "I can't Susan. But why shouldn't I, when you say tho command you just now quotod makes hallooing and screaming and shouting in religious meetings, a duty?" " Dear mo, Sir, there's the baby cryirg. I muni go this very minute." Cltid and Uoast Turkey-. According a recent traveler in Hungary, tho roasted turkey has anything but a Thanksgiving significance in that country. If a suitor there commences calling at a house where there is a maiden, he quickly leariKi his fate from the aspect of the paternal dinner-table. Upon seeing a roast turkey served up, ho knows himself to bo a "lucky dog," and at once offers his hand and heart to tho fair one. If a roast pig is served instead, ho understands that ho is dismissed, and looks elsewhere, for n wife. When young ladies eat turkey, let them think of this custom, and devour with all rever ence a bird which is thus shown to have such a significance in tho Court of Cupid. Why the Hungarians should select tho turkey cspeci illy for the purpose, our tourist does not explain ; but we presume I lie reason is, that a goose might seem too personal ! - - A Shasta Doctor said to a Chicoite in tho Oroville stage tho other day, "Major Bidwcll is a traitor lo the Democratic party and ought to be in h I," whereupon the Chicoite said to tho Shasta Doctor : "You ought to be in the gutter," and suiting (ho action to tho word, tossed him out of tho stage and lit upon him like a duck upon a June bug, ami pummcled him satisfacto rily.

A ma in Norridgewick, Me., has a goose sixty eight years old. Though attaining this green old nge, she nevertheless is not a green goose. The secret of her longevity consists in the fact that she hid away for several seasons, at Christ mas time until she became so tough that they couldn't kill her, and let her live on. P. T. Barktm, a man who, with all Lis humbug, has cast his influence on the side of so briety, is reported to have once said in a tern peraucc meeting that, as a great showman, he would give more for a drunkard who had been prosperous in business, than for any other curiosity. Tit bill dividing Washinton Territory fast ol the Mountains, has passed the II sentatives by a very Urge vote. lloiiso of Kepre- NO. Q. IlaukrupU or Knaves. Tho greenback question still vexes tho right eous souls of thos w i.o have debts to pay or re ceive, but tho truth of tho mnttci, alter all tho noisey words are spoken, is in a nutshell. If a man, on this coast whero gold is tho basis of currency, uses legal tender paper to pay a debt which both patties inter ded should bu paid in coin, or its value, he is a cheat, and ought to be so regarded ; unless his poverty or necessities make the payment as agreed impossible, and in this case he is insolvent a bankrupt and the payment in paper, at its face, may justly be considered as tho dividend of an in ;ol net estate. Such can not help themselves, and Ihey deserve our sympathies tho legal tender law operating in their behalf like ft National Bankrupt Act, of which they are compelled to tako advantage. But in regard to those who aro able to pay in valuo what they agreed to, before tho law passed, or even since, there can "bo no question, in tho judgment of all honest men, that when these liquidate their debts in a depreciated cur rency, bought at a discount for that purpose, they are moral swindlers and knaves. The fact that law allows snoli action is no excuse, sofarns fair dealing and common morality is concerned. No law requires a muii to bo neighborly, goner ous, honorable or patriot i", tr forbids meanness or the petty tricks wliic'a sometimes degrade humanity, and are not punishable savo by an eiiligtened public sentiment ; yet ho who offends In theso respects, is very sure, in duo time, to get his just reward. So it always has been so it always will be, and thoso who nrc disposed to weaken and destroy publio morality, and ptihlio confidence, by speculating upon faith heretofore rcpesed in them, or by justifying such practices, will speedily discover that they have secured to themselves a harvest of shame and disgrace which will cliug to them os long as they live lo curse tho community which is so unfortunate as to number them among its members. Supposo the bankers of this city, or of S in Franoisco, with whom coin hus been deposited, should pay tho checks of their customers in legal tender, would there not be a great outburst of wrath and indignation at such rascality ? But Would that bo any more deserving of condemnation than tho conduct of those who last year, -or at any time before the passage of the legal 'tender law, received coin for which they gave their notes, and which they now propose to pav by buying government paper ul discount ? We ask all men, debtors and creditors, to consider this question fairly and then givo voioo and effect to heir judgment, in such n manner that specula ting lascals in any community may be compelled to act fairly and honorably. Qrejonian. Tkiuuih.e. Tho Puritans of Now England, many years ago. hung th'vo Quakers said to have been nccuscd of no crimes save their relig ion. It was an act full i f hateful intolerance and wrong. Modern Demoi-tjcy is particularly sen sitive upon this historic; item, and, although there is no country in tho world where greater latitude, is given lo freedom of opinion and discussion than there, yot Dcoineraoy proposes n reconstruc tion with New England lelt out, because she hung thrco CJinikers. Yet these pure Patriots aro perfectly oblivious of tho ftets, (hat their Democratic brethren in sv boldoni have had many an hours pastime in whipping and scourg ing, and, in many cases, hanging Northern men for no other crime than a disbelief it) (he divin ity and justice of human slavery. This they quietly acquiesced in at tho time tbis they are perfectly oblivious of now. They can flip pantly talk about tho Puritans of New England hanging Quakers over n century ago ; but so treacherous i.ro their memories, or so great their love for Irsilors, that they are as voiceless as tho gravo over tho damning atrocities of their Southern brethren."

Like the audience in a theatro witnessing some great tragedy, so it is with tho great majority of the Democracy. They imagine themselves gixwl critics, and that the President and the soldiers are paid to per form the war according to their notion. These Peace Democrats give a Utile encouragement to both sides, in order to render tho affair mora ef fective. The celebrated Kulstaff would b a prince among them, in order that rebels should not bo hurt.
