Give us any kind of female, black r brown, maimed or deformed, b.-furo a flirt. Such a one has neither purity nor principle iu her soul.

Flirtation It th first step to dishonor. The first ogle of the tuined maiden may be compared to the first glas of the tippler.

TT T"1 . more aim unto itunroim at jitirpcr n rerrj, and beyond the summit, built by Latrobej and the Mnrrocca riatluet, and the -New York aud Kirio Railroad, built by Julius Adams, are equal in magnificence and eiw ccllcnce of workmanship to anything Iirnncl ever did in England or Moran in France. The suspension bridge over the Niagara River at Lewiston, built by Mai. iserrell, is 1,042 feet 10 inches in one span, and is 43 feet greater than any other single spaa in the world, being nearly twice as great and quite as strong as Tellord s celebrated bridge over the Mcnai Straits in England. The United States dry-dock at ISrooklyn is the largest dry-docks in the world by many feet. The workmanship, done" under the direction of Mr. McAlpiuc and Gen. Stuart, is equal, if not superior, to anything of tho kind anywhere. The plates of iron used in the gates of this dock are the largest that had ever been made, up to the time they wcro rolled. Iho flight of com bined locks on tho Erie Canal at Lock port, built by the Stato engineers, are equaled only in one other place in Christendom (Sweden.) 1 he Railroad suspension bridge built by Rocbling over tho Niagara is within a few feet of twice the span of Stephenson's great tubular bridge in England, the largest struc ture of the kind. It is S00 feel in one span, and is two stories high, the railroad being above the public highway. " Nothing like this exists anywhere else. Tho lighthouse on Minot's Ledge, being built by Cupt., Al exander, is iu a more exposed situation, and ns far as proceeded with, is more securely bolted together than the fumotis Eddystonc lighthouse in England. Tho bridgo at Wheeling, built by Charles Ellct, is exceed ed nly in span by the Lewiston bridge, and is heavier than it; it is the second larg est span m the world, and is much more beautiful than the Fribourg bridge, its Eu ropean rival. ' Jn carpentry we are unexcelled in the world. Such structures in timber as the dry-docks at San Franciscq and Philadel phia, McCnllain's and Col. Seymour's bridg es on the Erie Railroad and "branches, 'the timber viaducts on the Catawissa hy Sta!- cleff, Col. Long's bridges on the. various New England railroads, and How's trusses at Ilarrisbnrg, have not their equals across the Atlantic. ' , ' ' " ' ' Then, asain, in Europe many structures are bnilt thnt might have been avoided; 4 few Imndrcd feet of dctonr would have sav ed the great Box Tunnel. Now y.-e main tain that the location of Sidell's division, for example, on tho Erie, evinced more skill in avoiding the necessity orirreat struc tures than could be shown in building thcra. The stones on either corner of ihe Exchange, in Boston, built hy Rogers, are larger than any sincile stone in Cleopatra's Needle, and those now being put in the United States Treasury at Wnshmjrtoii are much heavier than any stone of Pompey'a Pillar or the Pyramids of Egypt. As to the difficulties of location, there is no conntry where more science and skill have been brought to benr than in onrs, and it is a remarkable fact that, in point of time last year our average traveling was fastpr by two and a half miles per hour than in England, compnring our principal lines with theirs, while the charg- CS on me American nnra erc uui uiueuvci half the English rates. ' . The reason why these things are not generally known is, that here we build a great work, and announce its completion in the same advertisement that heralds the opening of the road, and no more is said alwut it, except, perhaps, what may appear in one or two scientific periodicals, where dry feet and inches, stress and strain and tortion are discussed, and are never read except by the professional engineer. While, on the contrary, in England and France, aa soon as a great work is built, and while it is being erected, pictures by thousands are published, medals are struck and circulated, glass models are made, and illustrated pi pers show it hi every progress and from ev ery point of view; the engineer is knighted, if he is not already of the nobility, and the fame of the strnctnre is sent from land to land; while with us, as we have shown, may be found some ot the most gigantic works ever undertaken that are passed by and over without bardly any notice. Is is re markable that the best popular descriptions of our own public works of great magnitude are to be found in the journals of France and Germany. t&- Men with gray eyes are generally keen, energetic, and at first cold; bat you may depend npon their sympathy with real sorrow, feearen tne ranss ot oor wneTo- lent men, and yon will agree with me. la w, it daata t p a enm hB.

Altogether it was a fearful light, nd excited the pity of the most hard. i o niiMniuuLc to ouuu a number or brave and suffering inch. Yet every house wag thrown open, end every bund was ready to aid in alleviating their pains. For the most part, they asked but for wine or wa ter, for the loss of blood creates thirst, and the. futigitei of tho day must have been great from tho length of the battle and the extent of ground to fight over. Many of tho soldiers were naked to the waist, their coats having been torn to pieces in the bay onet' and hand-to-hand fights, and their shirts torn up to staunch their blood.. All were covered with dust, and had their clothes more or less toru, both officers and men, and presei!"l, even in the absence of bloou-ataincd clothes, the most pitiable np pearance. ' Rut all who were not suffering had stumped upon their countenances that quiet, determined look which soldiers ac quire in buttle, and which is called iu the i rcnclt army tho ' professional air. " The air of resignation, end the quiet, respectful manner of these brave fellows rendered tho sccno more touching, more sympathetic. A noisy, bravado air would have seriously detracted from the sympathy and the horror of tho scene. Jf tit all tins, as tho wounded men said, was nothing to the field of battle; only on the field of bat tle they thought . neither or their own wounds, nor of tho mass of their dead com rades over whoso bodies they were obliged to march." That T'EitainLE Swoku-Bayo.net. One of the causes, 6ays European correspondence, which tins demoralized tho Austrian soldier is the new weapon, the sword-bayonet, with which he is attacked by the French soldier, and against which neither his pwn old bay onet nor his superior physical strength arc of any avail. Not only can the sword-bay onet give thrust fur thrust with the older weapon, but while it thrusts, or withdraw after delivering it, it severs the tendons of the urm or leg of the opponent, thus com pletely disabling him prior to the last death' blow.. .Moreover, the irenclt soldier is taught to wield his weapon by poising it like a quarter-staff, horizontally, as high as the head of his adversary, and by a slight movement in the segment of a circle, .the sharp blade is swept across the neck, chest, or face of three, mcu opposed to him in line. This novel mode of attack cannot be met by the old musket and bayonet, hence the Austrian roldier has in despair resorted to the butt of is musket in endeavoring to crush, his enemy, who. ogilcj skillful of fence, and rendered .confident by the superiority of his new arm, can deliver three wounds with bis sword-bayonet while his antagonist is swinging his club. , . ; . GAWnALM. Tho Paris correspondent of the Independance Btlgt writes, rejiorting the conversation of a lady:' ' - "Then the conversation turned upon Gnribnhlt, tlie hero of the Roman Revolu tion, and his great timidity and reserve among women. 'He was once at Nice, when I was there,' she said; ' it was during the winter of 1855, if I remember right; at all events it was after bis return from Pe rn. Of course I was anxious to have him introduced, and would yon believe It? I had the greatest difficulty in making him talk, lie ran away. , To bring him back I liad to make the conquest of his little daughter, a charming little child, daughter of the heroic Creole who shared the adven tures of her husband in America and Italy, and died in the siege of Rome. ' Through Miss Garibaldi I reached Mr. Garibaldi, lie has all the powers of pleasing, especially an enchanting voice. " It has such sweetness, snch penetration! " But he cared so little to profit by these gifts that with one consent we named him these ladies and I La Signora.' " , , , " Doc Fennel." Many of onr readers have doubtless wondered, like -us, for what purpose this hateful weed, which grows so luxuriantly in lanes and along highways, was created. We leant from the Marengo (Iowa county) Visitor that the people of that place are cutting and coring it for tan ning leather. ' The Amana Society (an in dustrious German colony in Iowa county) are carrying on tanning extensively, and pay $15 per ton for this weed, t Postage on Election Retibns. The refusal of certain Virginia postmasters to send returns of elections to the Secretary of State, without prepayment of postage, has led to a correspondence with the Post Of fice Department, and the offending post- masters are directed to forward the pack charging the proper amount of fnmjjt j This is a precedent for coming elections. Fifty Pemochats Ixiuctku The Leav enworth jail is filled to overflowing with " good, tried, staunch, and vnlliaut Demo crats," who have been arrested and Indicted for fraudulent voting at tho recent election, Moro than fifty of tho b'y arc In the Jug for obeying the pnrty injunctions, viz.: "voting early and often, and keeping on voting un til the polls were closed." The legal inves tigation now going on is disclosing an old fashioned Klckapoo or Oxford swindle. These fifty elegant Dimocrats ore but a preface of what is to cornel The Republi cans ore confident that the apparent Demo cratic majority will be more than sponged out ere the frauds committed in Leaven worth are probed to the bottom. ' The last Kansas Legislature passed a registry law, nnd the very day after the late election the officers commenced registring tho legal voters of Leavenworth county. It is probably completed by this time, and it was confidently expected that fully fitt hundred bogus names would be found on the poll books in that one county. Similar frauds wcro committed iu every county in the Territory, iu which the Democrats had any hope of success. , It is now generally believed that the Re publicans polled a considerable majority of the legal votes cast in Leavenworth county, and if this be substantiated the ten scuts in tho Convention claimed by the ballot-box stuffers will be given to the Republicans In Douiphun and Johnson counties it is al so ascertained that scores of fraudulent votes wcro cast by the Democrats, and to this cause alone their success is attributed. Tho new registry law will put a stop to these nefarious Democratic practices in the future, and will havo the effect of reducing the Democratic vote in all the river counties. If each Democratic voter is confined to casting . one Democratic vote on election day, there is not a county in Kansas which this party can carry. T As it has been generally stated, through reports from Washington, that salaries of postmasters throughout the coun try, aud their c)erks, with other expenses, would bo defrayed in accruing postages af ter 30th June, alt., it is proper to sny that no such view is countenanced at the Depart ment,. On tho contrary, it is held that not a dollar can be legally expended until Con gress meets and makes appropriation on postoflico account. .What is received by postmasters after the 30th Juno is held to be iu tho treasury, and cannot be paid out for any purpose. They are in effect treas ury ofiiccrs, and the amount that will accu mulate in their hands before January next will be at least $5,000,000 in specie. ' Neutralizing Poison. A general read er sends us the following prescription: : 1 " A poison Of any conceivable description and degreo of potency, which has been in tenlioually or accidentally, swallowed, may be rendered almost instantly harmless by simply swallowing two gills of sweet oil. An Individual with a very strong constitu tion should take nearly twice the quantity. This oil will most positively neutralize every form of vegetable animal, or mineral poison with which physicians and chemists arc ac quainted." . ,f The Northernmost Paper. A news paper is about to be started, under Canadi an auspices, at the Selkirk settlement, on the Red River of the North. Tlio press nnd type nre now on their way thither. Mr. Laurie, late of the Owen Sound (C. W.) Times, is to be the editor. Selkirk is some 450 miles north of St. Paul, and has about 10,000 inhabitants.' . l jQr One of the best photographers in Europe took a bank note for 5,000 francs on the Bank of France, and photographed oue so much like it that the Rank's Judges, the photographer himself, and In fact all who have seen the two, are unable to dis tinguish which from t'other. The Bank considers such success rather dangerous. jiaT How truthful the remark of a con temporary, that Edward Everett is not a newspaper writer, and never can be a pop ular one. ITe is classic and elegant in his style, but he never can write a newspaper article. With alPhis immense talent he could not make a daily newspaper be sus tained by means outside of its legitimate income. ' The same remark will apply to Washington Irving, Longfellow, and all other well known literary gentlemen in this country. The least readable daily paper in the country is one published at Burlington I by Saxe, the wittiest poet in America, j Saxe is a wit, scholar, and a man of genius, aud yet be could no more make a readable newspaper than he could overturn the Pyr amids.

Ilolbrook, Esq., has ItiriiUicd us with the San Francikco Duily National of Aug. 20, brought by tho steamer Forward, Iu which we find the following European uews which cnine by the overland inuil: The peace news Is fully confirmed, but no further particulars have transpired, beyoud tho .fact thut the iiriticts of Tuscany and Modena return to their Stutvs. Letters from Paris nolo much discontent there concerning the term of peace, al though peace itself gave satisfaction. Tho Paris Sieelc objects to Austrian In fluence still being sufft retl to remain in Ita ly, and culls fur the expulsion of tho petty Italian princes, who ore but confederates of Austria. Napoleon, on his arrival In France, would proceed direct to St. Cloud, deferring his ollicial entreo into Paris till he mukes it at the head ol the army. The Emperor and King of Sardinia en tered Turin on tho 13tb, amid the enthusi astic acclamation of the people. . The Austrian correspondence ofliciallv announces tho conditions of the treaty of peace tints: Austria ami France will sup port the formatiou of un Italian Confedera tion. Lombardy, ns fur as the lino of the Mincio, is to be given tin. Muntua, Pes- clieira, and tho whole of Vcnetia remain Iu ustrtan possession. 1 he Princes of lu cany aud Modena return to their States a universal amnesty Is granted. Ihe v lennn correspondent of the London Times snys three applications were made direct by' Napoleon to Austria before she would consent. Overtures were made di rect by " Napoleon for tho purpose of pre venting mediation by the neutrals. The same correspondent says that the Popo was burnt iu effipy at Milan, and un friendly feelings existed between Nupoleou and Victor Emanuel. The hitter had issu ed a proclamation to the people of Lombar dy, announcing their annexation to Sardi nia according to their own desire many times expressed, nnd hia determination lo ameliorate their political condition. 1 Euiuiiuel entered Milan on the 13th, amidst enthusiastic plaudits of citizens. It is rumored thnt the Emperor and Empress of the French would visit Vienna. ; It is reported thut the French army has commenced its countermarch.' . , - It is thought probable that the dismissal of Cardinal AutoncIIi would follow this state of affairs, It was rumored that Garibaldi was about to issue n proclamation, and it was consid ered doubtful whether ho would lay down his arms up to tho 11th. The formation of the Hungarian legion had proceeded prosperously, 5,000 having joined. ' A leltt-r from Rome, dated tho 8th, says that the Pope had sent an autograph letter to Napoleou, announcing bis determination to demand armed intervention from the Catholic powers. Latest. It was reported at Paris, on Friday, that great agitation prevailed nt Milan, that troubles hud arisen in Vcnetia, that Florence was disturbed, and that the Parisian populace was indignant nt the Em peror for failing to fulfill bis promises. Switzerland hnsordered the disbandmcnt of her troops called out during the war. Prussia has ordered her troops on tho march to halt. ; The papers were mainly engaged In spec ulating npon the sudden conclusion of peace and its results. The interview betweon the Emperors at Villa Franca is said to havo lasted nearly three whole days. Tho Emperor of Anstriit hns ordered an immediate cessation of the recruiting just commenced.:, It is remarked that Sardinia, by accept ing Lombardy without tho fortresses necs snry to defend it, hns mndo herself the vas sal of France, and that Italy has gained nothing, while the Emperor returns to Par is, nominally a conqueror, but in reality a baffled and dishonored man. Esni.ANn. Iu the House of Commons, Lord Russell, in answer to an inquiry, said that nothing was known or could be known as to the details of the treaty, until Niqio leon returned to, Paris, which would be about tho 18th. Sir Junv'S Graham called attention to the formidable French fleets at Cherbourg and Brest, together with the gun boats for landing troops. Russell suid France had made no extraordinary preparations, thnre foro England had demanded no explana tions. The Duko of Newcastle states the Gov ernment did not intend renewing the licen ces by which the Hudson's Ray Company hold their North American Territories. The Mediterranean Company had ordered a cable to connect Malta and Sicily, and it is expected to be laid in November. IGT Queen Victoria, at the opera, not long since, is described as quite plainly dressed, in modestly low neck nnd short sleeves, with a couple of pink roses iu her hair; and she took her seat more quietly than most ladies of fashion, who enter the opera bouse in a blaze of jewelry or jim crackery. When the Prince chatted and laoghed with the honorable, but by no means dangerous "maid" who sat beside him, kit wife invariably leaned towe.n them to catch the joke and join In the lau"h Victoria is, beyond all question, a model wife and mother, as well as a most rirtnous and gracious queen.
