Thus he it alway addreM:d as Mr. Prev

confined to sole tun occasions. Should a

presume to forget the preference to which
the prcsideot is entitled, he would be te
reminded of it. Taus when dinner is
announced the guest will offer his arm to

Grant checks him with a polite bow
toward her husband, and the rerrark,

AVo commend to our readoii the

speech of Hon. S. S. Cox, on the Vir
ginia uonvenuon 01 lua. Xliat Mr.
Cox treats the Bubject in the right
spirit, wiu not admit of scnoua arcru
ment. The idea that in a government
or ttie people, all future ages and gen
erations are to be bound by tbe acta
of their predecessors is simply ridicu
lous, and the fact that the Congress
oi tne uniteii states should not only
sanction such a provision, but make it
a condition of the admission of her
representatives to a scat in the coun
sels of the nation is mortifying:
In the light of progressive political
philosophy, where is the man to rise
up and say that "all goodness and
greatness, all policies of right, and
all genius of statesmanship," belong
ed to that miserable mock ry of a Mo
saic convention which wintered in
Richmond in 18G7-8? Who will say
that a convention made up of the Un
derwoods, the Wei .sea, and Chandlers
(the successors of Jefferson, George
Mason, and Madison !) who incubated
that system of iron-clad tests which
even the military Schofield derided.
and the peoplo rejected, were fit leg
islators of all the ages? Oh, res.
they knew it all, and for nil time !

vention where ignorance was represent

vailed ai.d not charitr : and even the
mulatto barbers and field hands, who
had sharpened their minds on the ra
zor straps and cudgeled their brains
with their ox-goaus, (laughter), and
had learned some lessons of kindness
towards their old musters, were con
strained to belie their loving natures
by white bravado and cunning such
a convention work better than Provi
dence? His heavens are to tro rolled
up like a scroll, but we make the work
of these men eternal. The seasons

when from ocean to ocean, and from

treble, "You shall never, never!

What kind of society?
Good, bad, indifferent, and mixed.
Any aristocracy ?
Nary one. ,
What do your people do for a liv

Jenny)Lifid pave a toneort in Wa.hing
ton during the session of Congress, and,
as a mark of her respect, and with a view
to the eclat, sent polite invitations to the
President. Mr. Fillmore the members
of the Cabinet, Mr. Clay and many other
distinguished member of both Houses
of congress. It happened that on that
day several members of the Cabinet and
Senate were diming with Mr. Bodisco,
the Russian Minister. His good dinner
and choice wine had kept the party so
lato that the concert wa nearly over
when Wcbsler, C!ay, Crittenden and
many other came in ; whether from the
heat of the room, their faces were a little
flushed, and they all looked some what
flurried.
After the applause with wlijh these
gentlemen had been received had subsid
ed, and silence once more restored the
second part of the concert was opened
by Jenny Lind, wi h "Hail Columbia,
This took placa durirg the higl.t ol
the debate and excitement of tbe slavery
question aod the comprosmi'e resolution
of Mr. Cliy ; and this patriotic air, as a
part of the programme, was considered
peculiarly appropriate at a concert where
tbe In ad of the Goverument and a large
number of both tranches of the legisla
tive department were present. At the
close of the first vert-c, Webster's patri
otism boiled over ; he could stand it no
longer; aod rising like Olympian Jove,
he added bis deep, sonorous bas voice to
tbe chorus; and 1 venture to say, that
never in the whole course t-f her career
did she ever hear or receive oue hxlfof
tbe M lauie as that with which her song
and Webster's chorus was greeted.
Mrs. We'jster, who sat immediately be
hiod h'm, kept tugging at his coat-tail to
make him sit down or atop singing, bat it
was of no earthly use ; and at the close of
each verse Webster joined in, and it
was hard to say whether Jenny Lind,
Wcbs er, cr tho audience were the most
delighted. I ha 0 eo I'ubim Lall.iuche
and the two Grisi on the stage at
one time, but such a happy conjunction
in tbe national air of "Hail Columbia"
as Jeony Liod's tenor, aod Daniel Web
ster's baas, we shall never hear or see
again.
At the close of the air, Mr. Webster
rose with his hat in his band, and made
her such a bow as Chesterfield would have
deemed a fortaie for his son, 1 n 1 eclipsed
DcOrcay's best. Jenny Lind blu&hed at
the diatinuishel honor, courtcsied to the
floor ; the cud coce applauded to the
very echo ; Weba'er, determined not to
I 0 outdone in politeness, bowed sgaia ;
Miss Liud re-courtcsicd ; the boue re
applauded, and this wa repeated nine
timet, or "I'm a villain els;."
1 have seen Niagara andTaglioni, Mars
and Malibrau ; I have walked through
tho ruins at I lacs turn and the Coloseum
by moonlight; crossed the Mcnai Bridge
and the Thames Tunnel, but never while

How Advertising Pats. There have
been many eminent men who huV3 made
their hundreds of thousands of doilirs by
advertising. Here is the opinion of
few well known names culled at random
from tcoics of others which we might
cite:
"Without advertisments I should be a
poor man to-day.'" H. T. Helmbold.
"My success is owing to my liberality
in advertising." Bonner.
"Advertising has furnished mo with a
competence. Amos Lawrence.
"I advertised my products and made
money." N. Longworth.
"Constant and persistent advertising
is a sure prelude to wealth." Stephen
Girard-
"He who invests one dollar in business
should invest one dollar in advertising
that business." A; T. Stewart.
"The man who pays more for shop-
reut than for advertising, don t under
stand his business." Greeley.
A merchant being unable to live as oom
fortably as he desired, and at the same
time pay his debts, failed several times in
business, and made assignments of his
property. - Finally he died. Among
those who had cause to remember bini
was Mr. B-
"wh meeting one of
his neighbors, was informed that Uncle
C was dead-erhad paid lbs debt of
nature. "U that so? replied Ji ;
why didn't be; mak.e an assignment?''

Let as, following in brief abstract the
account of Mr. Ortoo, touch u poo some
prominent characteristics of this great
o ean river. It rises ia 'the little Peru
vian Lake of Lauricocha, just below the ,
limit of perpetual suow. For 500 miles
it flows swiftly through a deep valley.
Then, turning sharply eastward, it runs
&,i)V miles aero the equatorial plain.
Two thousand miles above its month its
width is a mile and a half, to more than

From Santarcm, the principal town above
Para, one may paddle a thousand miles
parallel to the river without once entering
he stream. For twenty-fire degrees of
atitude every river that flows down lhe

or Kusria. 1 he volume of its waters is
greater even than the breadth of the riv
er would indie itc. At Mauta, 2,200
miles from its mouth, the depth is forty
feet, increasing rapidly as it approaches
t'le eccao. A steamer cou'd doubtless steam
,000 miles up the Amazon. .The vege
tation of ihejvallcy is'exhubcrant. There
is a bewildering dier-ity of grand and
beautiful trees, a will, uuconquered race
of vegetable giauts, draped and festooned
by creeping plants. The moment you
land upon thi shore you are confronted
by a solid wa'l of vegetation, through
which, if you wish to proceed, yon must
mow your way with an axe or maeheta.
Palms, of which thirty varieties are no

there are "cow-trees," a hundred and

tree, though of a different species from
tha of the Ea t Indies, produces a gum
which constitutes most of the rubber of

or eighty feet high, in the same class
with ih-3 "milk-weed" of our American
pas ores. Of ornamental woods there is
no end. Foremost among these is Moria
I'inimo. or "tortoise shell wood," the
most beautiful in grain and color of any

every year to veneer alt the dwellings of
the civilized world. For many years to

An ignorant but conceited fellow got
aboard a steamer on Lake Huron. After
standing on deck a while among tbe
crowd, and seeing the captain approach,
he inquired: ''What is the name of this
lake?" "The Lake Huron." "Yes, Sir,"
replied the man. But the captain going
no further, the stranger said: "Well,
what is the name of the lake?" "The
Lake llurai," again answered the cap
tain, "I want to know what lake I'm
on what's its name?" "Well, Sir,''
said the captain, "tbe name of the lake
you're on is the Lake Huron. Does
that satisfy you?" The crowd were mw
smiling quite audibly, and the man walked
on, muttering low to himself: "The lake
I'm on is the lake I'm on. That's a

A Chinaman was being tried for exhib
iting deadly weapons in a threatening
manner at another moon-eyed Asiatic.
During the progress of the trial.; the
attorney for the defense, not being exactly
satisfied with the contradictory evidence
being elicited, which was bearing rather
against his client, asked the Celestial, who
was acting . as interpreter, if Chinaman
under oaths administered before our.
Judicial tribunals, would tell the truth,
Oh, no, responded John; 'Chinaman lie
