UrUTH OF A 3IOIIA31UI.DAX AI.T. a- letters from Tunis to Naples report that tlio .sudden death of the greatest saini in that city, Sheik el Mocnsen, has oiusetl univeisal regret, from the Rev down to.the most humble of thn faithful. Sheik el Mochsen belongetl to a family facml to Mussulmans, :md wns a tlireet descendant of the prophet. During his lifetime he scarcely ever left the quarter ill which ho lived. He piept on thn rcKfpfJiishouM'nnir dtaT(fftawcnnstantlyseirtthiiii' by the neighboring Arabu, contenting himself with the simplest fare. He wore nothing but a woolen shirt, and always went bareheaded. He Fpoke ra'ely. His mania was to demolish houses. Everv now ami then he bp'kf into some liouse in his quarter, using a piece of iron, and tliehoUM' lie touched was iiinneiliiitelv nbauiloueil hv its in habitntits, auil became his proiertj, i'ii IJey iiideuiiiifying the proprietor When he visited the Bey the latter went to meet him and kissed biiu on the face a favor the Bey neier be slimed eien on hi oviu relations. This singular saint inspired every one with respect, awe anil eien terror, anil lii- tlf aih inatle a profound impression 011 the Court and the population. Directly he was dead, the Arabs sent his woolen shirt to tho Sovereign, who, however, tlitl not kee1 it for himself, but divided it, and sent part to the First Minister, retaining a portion for himself, and dividing tho remain der among persons emit led to receive the precious relic A hiinilnr uivision uas made of all the objects belonging to the ruint that were found. Most of the Mussulmans have ghen sums of money in order to place a handsome monument over the grave of the saint after the completion of the funeral ceremonies. During forty days pray ers iill be recited, nml those who are unable to he present n ill send ample provisions to those vvhd prav. Thn .ne,r tIi.c IieI,mM.lf Heard the chanting of tho prayers, aud also heard some Arabs saying that Sheik el Mochsen had died iu order not to see Tunis become French, and deploring his death as the fore-runner of grave eveuts. The saint died on the eve of Muled, or birthday of Mcliaimuct?, tip. I chinning of a period of religious solemnities, during which it is believed that important events generally occur. Exchange. Yankees in Mexico. The New Orleans Picayune says: Mexico is filled with "Yankee.," as all people from the United States are called. These "Yankees" embrace engineers, c ipiialistfs, tourist, speculators, "drum mers" and adventurers. Thn last named, however, are a disgrace to our nation, as they comprise gamblers-, tr.nnjis and other high personage-, of I ntli sexes who travel incognito. This country abounds iu last natural 11 sourcfs, but is almost entirely unde-i-lojitil. The gold and silver mines are worked on the same plan as one hundred years ago. Sugar is ground, wheat gathered ami threshed, cotton . spun, paper manufactured, liquors dis tilled, and cloth ami textures of all kinds woven in the most primitive stile. In fact, nil lnlxir saiing ma chines and the latest inventions auti improvements, of manufacture and tig ri'-ulture are just Jieing introduced, hence the profuse aliuui'.Aiico of the Yankee, who, with his usuil foresight antl ente'rprise, wrs an immenao trade lo be developed wi'h his own country. , . The Presidents Mother, The happiest perron in the country on the 4th of March, l8Sl, undoubtedly was the venerable mother of James A. t.'nrfield; and she Had the highest right to be. Left a widow with her small children, who with herself, werp quite dependent upon her own exertions for support, she kept her little flock together, and demonstrated, as have many other n omen also, "what a woman can do." Anil now her boy is President of the United States of America. All honor to the good moth er! Remarkable men almost never have remarkable son, but a boy that amounts to something "uncommon" almost invariably has been blessed with a superior mother. So far as the human rac goe's, thn mother is the prime factor in rxeellence. Rural New Yorker. Flour at ?22.50 per thousand at the New York Store. TIIK m:w tnulo-i.

Beauty ami style are not the surest passports to lespectability soiii of tlo loh!est fpecimeus of womanhood tt h world 1ms eier seen have preienletl the plainest nml most unprepossessing appearance. A woman's worth is to be estimated by her real goodness of her heart, am the purity and sweet ness of her character, and such a wo man, with a kindly disposition nml a well-balanced mind and temper, is lovely ami atti active. Po her face ver so plain antl her form eier so houielv, she makes the best of wives and the truest of mothers. She has a higher purpose in life than the beauti ful, yet vain and supercilious woman, who has no higher ambition than to flaunt her finery iu the .street), or to gratify her inordinate vanity by attracting flattery and praise from a society whose compliments are as hollow as they are insincere. The bird moulting season is coming on. When vour canaries are moult ing and cease to sing, do this: Put a little oxide of iron (iron rust from the drug store) or put a couple of lath nails in the water they drink, and take away their liah cup so they can't gpt any drink but their medicine. In an other cup immerse a little saffron. The latter gives color to their incoming fea'liers. The iron braces their sys tem while moulting. 11 a lilt e while they will sing loud enough to cause the headache. tin ELTV AD CIUZITIOX. Tho mutilations of prisoners exhib itetl on Assyrian sculptures, ate not surpassed in cruelty by any we find among the most bloodthirsty of wild races; and Rnmeses II., who delighted iu having himself sculptured on temple walls throughout Egypt as holding a dozen captives by the hair and striking off their heads at a blow, slaughtered during his conquests more human be ings than a thousand chiefs of savage tribes put together. The tortures in flicted on captured enemies by red In dians are not greater than those inflict ed of old on felnos bv crucifixion, or on suspected rebels by sewing them up in the hides of slaughtered animals, or on heretics by jnienring them over with combustibles and setting fire to them. The Dauinras, described as so. utterly heartless that they luugh on seeing one of their number killed by a wild beast are not worse than ihe Romans, who made such elaborate, provisions for giatifiing themselies by Hatching wholesale slaughters in the arenas. If the number destroyed by the hordes of Attilaiere not, equaled by the num bers width the Roman armies destroy ed lit the conquest of Seiucia, and by the nunibcts of the Jews massacred - . - under Hadrian, it was simply, because the occasion did not permit. The cru elties of Nero, Gallienus, and the rest may compare those of Zingus and Timour; and when we read of Caracalla, that after he had murdered twenty thousand friends of his murdered broth er, his soldiers forced the Senate to placo him among the gods, we are shown that in the Roman people there was a ferocity not less than that which deifies the most sanguur.y chiefs among the worst of savages. Nor did Christianity greatly change matters. Tluoughout mediaeval Europe political offenses and religious dissent brought on men carefully devised agonies, equal ing, if not excreding, anv inflicted. by the most brutal of barbarians. Her-- bert Spencer, in Fortnightly Review. X Worthy t'bartlr. There reside on a small farm in tho foothills near Saratoga, in this county the widow and daughter of one of the most noted men of modern history John Brown the martyr champion of human freedom, who lost his life in the Fall of 1859, through his sturdy and pious zeal in behalf of the slaves whom he sought to liberate. The widow is about seventy years of age, the bur den of whose support falls upon the daughter, a worthy and cultured lody, who is illy fitted for the rough farm work which sho is obliged to perforin, but she performs her nlloted task un complai -iiigly, and both mother and daughter would be reasonably happy ami conl en ted, as well as independent, but for the .shadow- of debt that hangs over their little home, and the extra efforts they are compelled to put forth to meet their monthly interest. Th'eir home ik mortgaged for one thousand dollars, which debt, it would seem to us, there ought to be noble patriot hearts enough in this State to assume and pay oil' and thereby leave these worthy women free from the embar rassments which now weigh them down, It should be done for his sake, the grand old man of Kansas fame tho hero-martvr for freedom who died that this Union, purified of v the foul stain of human slavery, might Jive.
