Something Likb a Newspaper. The

nanor in England, was commenced by a
joint stock company. On its first appear
ance it was a small dingy looxing sneei ; uui
as it possessed talents which forced it into
notice, it soon attracted puouc auenuun, unu
gradually increased in size, power, and in
flutncn. The DroDertv is. at the present
time, divided into twenty-four shares, of
which sixteen belong to Mr. jonn waiter.

two-thirds of the entire property, nis voice

value of the Times, in a purely commercial
point or view, is 3iu,uou eacn snare ue

the Times is about 45,000, of which Mr.
Walter receives, as his portion, x.au,uow.

A Modehn Newton. A debating so

for HUcnoaion the subiect. " does the world
go round, or do's it not?" The chairman
remarked that he did not propose u Because
there was any doubt upon the subject, but to
ftrh nut" the orators. After the first
speaker had occupied about ten minutes in
the discussion, he sat aown ana was suc
ceeded by one of the " lights" of the town,
who delivered himself thus
" If the world was round, it would'nt be
reg'lar and even as it is. After you'd tra
velled a little ways, you'd begin to slide, and
slide, and bimc-by you'd tumble ofT at the
edge, if you did'nt ketch a hold on something
to bold on by. And then they talk of sailing
round the world f Why, if the world was
round, and went round as they say it did, the
eaptaing'd have nothing to do, but tie his
hip to a tree, and it'd go round of itself. My
opponent has ask'd, 'if the world does not go
round, how does the sun git round to the
right place agin V I answer, for a very plain
reason, ii'i $o dark you can't tee it."

taking the hint from the rooting habits of

It rMiUblas a hog's snout attached to the

Without Hopi. Can we imagine such
a being as a man without hop one who,
under the intolerable night of a darkened
and paralyzed mind, listieesly, cheerlessly,
gropes his way towards no ohjtct; life a
weariness, and the world a dungeon ! We
read of such instances, though not often,
thank heaven ; and, pondering with pity and
surprise on the wretched and perverted vic
timseeing how tho glory and the boautv of
the myriad means of happiness, which hea
ven has vouchsafed humanity, is turned from
and contemned, in tho blind prcfcrcnco for
selfish gloom and heart-chilling dospair
seeing how entirely life losos its high purpo.
sea, and the brain of man its grandeur, under
this pestilent vapor of the intellect wo have
but to carry the hopeless one one step further
beyond the grave to shrink from fnat
last unutterable darkness ! If hope is health
ful, bright, and ever urging onward in man's
life, what is it in tho preparation for his soul's
eternity? Religiouu hope ! there is nought
so lovely, nought so ennobling, nought so
manly for without it the peculiarly distin
guishing attribute of man is wanting ; in its
pure light, alone, is he refining his spirit for
that glorious company, tho call of which ho
hears thrilling within him. An intelligent
mind to guide, a religious hope to inspire,
and lo! life closes in smiles, to reopen in
glory. 80 bo it with us all. Saint Louis

A Strtmno Fact. A valuable statis.

the number who have lived upon the earth,

seven quadrillions. This sum, he says,

square miles of land, gives 1,314,522,070 to

WORTHY OF NOTICE IN A HIGH
QUARTER.
The King of the French lately presented
to the King of Sweden, a work on Oregon,
by Mr. DeMofras, decidedly hostile to the
American olaim. The donor sent with this
offering an autograph letter, strongly recom
mending the work. The King of Sweden,
having mentioned this fact to Mr. Lay, our
Charge d'Affairs at Stockholm, received from
him a copy .of ureenoughf h book on Oregon.
This littlt incident is worthy of notice by
our Federal Executive, indicating the feel
ings of tho King of Franco towards our
country ; and in connection with French in
trigues in Texas and Mexico, and .French
outrages in South America, it is worthy of
notice by our American people. It indicates,
in our estimation, the strongth of the intentr.
cordiale, good understanding and good will,
between tho French and British govern
menu. But what concern have the IJrilinh govorn
mem in the aflair ? Wo will explain. The
French King's first care is the security of his
dynasty ; and in consideration of British
help for this, ho is willing to join Britain in
assailing the United States. " How can I
help you ?" says his stock-jobbing Majesty
to tho British Ambassador at Puris. " By
slandering our rivala with tho governments
of Europe," replies the Ambassador. " And
for this purpose you can hire a Frenchman
to visit Oregon, and write a history of our
own and the American claim to it. We will
instruct our agtnts of the Hudson's Bay
Company to furnish him, whorovor they can
find him, with all noccssary materials for
the purpose ; r.nd seeing every tiling in and
out of Oregon through their spectacles, and
being well paid by u through than, ho can
make a capital story. Your Majesty will
then be able to communicate to every Euro
pean sovereign, with your Majesty s royal
autograph letter, an authentic history of
Oregon, by a Frenchman, who, being a sub
ject of neither of the contending claimants,

will do it," says His Majesty, "ami can ivxm
find a man for tho purKse." Accordingly,
Mr. DeMofras is sdrit on his mission, with full
pockets, and plenary instructions.
Is his stock-jobbing Majesty capable of

WalUtrcet of Paris, without any aid from his
political history, would show that ho was ca-
pable of much moro. And thit is probably
oue of the honeti and tmoarn'ocrowncd heads,
to whoso arbitration Mr. Winthrop and other
American functionaries would submit tho
Oregon question. We incline to tho opinion
that the best arbitrators would be the passage
of Mr. Douglass's bill, the fortification of our
sea. ports, add preparations for raising an
nrmy of two hundred thousand men. The
British will quarrel with us defenceless, but
will not quarrel with us armed.
But our executive must do something in
the premises, after the fashion of the "citizen
King." He should send to every sovereign
in Europe, with an autograph letter, a copy
of Greenough's book, and of the last letter of
Mr. Calhoun, and tho two last of Mr. Bu
chanan, and the replies of Mr. Pakenham,
and his inaugural address, and his late mes
sage. They will then sec what they proba
bly have not seen, the American side of the
question. And he should send all these docu
ments to every American minister in Eu
rope, with instructions to send a cony to
each journal, of whatever politics, published
at the capital of the country at which he
represents his own ; this last step to be taken
with the concurrence of the sovereign in
such country. As the British government
are hiring European kinga and subieota to
slander us, our government should take care
to have the truth told. And they should do
this especially in France, where the people
sometimes call kinga to account ; and ia
Prussia, where the king forbids the circula
tion of American newspapers. Philadelphia
