. , THE WORLD'S PRO GUESS. *
It is"eu$tous-and deeply interesting to ob-
aerve how much of*, the advance which msB-
1vind has tnacie in some of the most essential
ich.es,of Material, improvement, ^^beep
ted within the last quarter of tf^entury;
and.OB'the ether hand, in how many depart-
ments human intelligence reached its culmin-
atiptpoint .ages ago. It is-not likely that the
world will ever see a more perfect-poet than
IIortKtr, a grander' statesman than Perj^es; a
sublimer orcHiore -comprehensive philosopher
than Plat^\ a sculptor equal to Phidias, a
painter superior, tq Raphael. .^Certain it is.
that the lapse.pf twenty or five and twenty
centfiiies'has given birth fo none that have
surpassed tlicm. * and so few who have ap-
proached them. In the fine arts, and in. the
-peculafivo thought, our- remotest ancestors
are still oarrmasters. In science and its ap-
plications the orj^r of precedence isxeversed,
and onr own age is more prolifia and amaz-,
ing than the aggregate of all the ages which
have gbne Jx-fore us. Take two points only,
the' most* ohvious and the most signal—locor
motion and the transmission of intelligence."
At the earliest period of authentic history
men travelli-'d as fast as in the year 1830.—
NiUirftd got over the ground at the rate of ten
or tweivejniies an hour: Napoleon could go
no faster. Between 1830 and 1840, we rais-
ed the maxim of speeTfrom ten miles to„ser-
cnty. * ''
The firs^six thousand, years did nothing
or next to nothing—the ne^six years did
everything; reachtd the limiwr of possible .ac-
hievement in thh; direction; for no one imag-
ines that any greater speed is attainable or
would he bearable. Again: it is probable
that Abraham sent messages to Lot just as
rapidly as Frederick the Great or George Itl.
transmitted orders to their Generals snd Ad-
mirals. In 1794, the old wooden telegraph
was invented, and made a certain though a
partial and a Slight advance. But. with-this
exception, the rate at which intelligence could
he oonveyed had remained stationary at that
of ofdinary locomotion on^horsebst^t vfp to
1&40— In 1840 we communicated at the- ve-
locity of twelve miles an hour. In 1850; we
communicated ov^r immeasurable distances
in iJiapprecfably icrfibitesiinal subdivisions of
time. T&e experhnc'nt was made, and a mes-
sagfe^was transmitted from Belgrade to Liver-
pcyof.inslaritanecrusly: A spark giver, at Dun-
dee CouIS "fire the cannon of' the Invalides at
Parssi" * Here, too, it - a single lekp We luive
reached the ne plvs ultra of earthly possibili^.
ty. In fcn years—nay,- in five—we* have
cleared the vast spaca between the speed of a
horSe and -the ^speed, of lightning.—North
British Review.
Anecdote op Napoleon.—One day the
Fih>t Consul, on dismounting frqm his horse,
and traversing the gallery adjoining the'een-
tr'e .saloon.at Malmeison, stopped to -examine
a portfolio of gngravings which had been
placed nf>on a table at "the park end of the
gallery. Isahev is- said to have' entered at
the end "next the court. The First Consul
was'then "filim, and^ wore the uniform of the
giiide* or hotse, chasseurs of tlie Guard—that
beleved uniform, the very sight of which
makeg the heart beat. Eugene Beauharnais,
as I have observed before, was Colonel of that
fine regiment Isabey, who had not heard
the First Consul return from his ride, seeing
a small slender figure in ihe "uniform of the
chasseurs,' and observing iHe two epaulettes,
supposed it to be Eugene,'with whom he Was
extremely intimate, and determined to take
him by surprise. Dexterous, light, active*
and supple as a cat in his movements, he ad-
vanced softly without the slightest -- sound
-upon the First Consul, and alighted in astrad-
dle on his neck. Napoleon imagined the
house was falling or that the old gentleman
wag come to strangle him. .Rising up, he dis-
engaged himself by main force from his new-
fashioned collar, and threw poor Isabey in his
turn upon the ground, and, presenting to h:s
dismayed view a countenance for which" he
was certainly little prepared, demanded in a
severe tone: "What .is Ihe meaning of this
buffoonery?"
"I thought it was Eugene'," Stammered out
the luckless ybuth.
:And suppose it was Eugene," replied the
First Consul, "must you needs' break his
shoulderder-bones?:'. and he walked out of
the gallery.
This story, though carefully concealed, was
soon bruited about. The First Consul had
too much tact uot to perceive that .his was the
ridiculous share of the adventure, Jsabey un-
derstood it too. full as well, and both would
willingly have kept the seeret. But, whether
the one in the first boiftent of his terror, re-
lated the whole to Edgene himself, or the
other in his fesentment could not with-
hold it from Madame Bonaparte, the affair
got wind. I know thac a short time aft#-
wsfrd the truth was denied,. Afeall events^if
it caused the departure of Isabey and his loss
to our compgny,, jt-WUS.t call & injustice, and
an act of useless injustice, fo^ fruly one'must

this (ashion,jwithout laughing.—AVmeJunot,
Corras's IjjGEN'cW-y.—The followingan-
ecdote is told of this celebrated lawyer: "A
farmer attending a fair, with a hundred pounds
in his pocket, took the precaution of deposit-
ing it ift the hands of the landlord at the pub-
lic house at which he stopped. Having occa-
sion for it shortly afterwards, he reported to
'mine host, for payment; hat the landlord,too
deep for the countryman, wondered what
hundred he meant, and was "quite sure no.
such sum had ever been lodged in his hands

appeals to the recollection, and finally to the
honor of Bardolph, the former Applied to
Ctirran for advice. Have patiencc my friend,'
said the counsel; 'speak to the landlord civil-
ly, tell him you might have left your money
with some other person. Take a fri nd with
you, and lodge with him another hundred'in
the presence of your friend, and come to me !'
He did so, and returned to his legal friend.
'And now I don't' see how! am going to be
better off for this, if I get my second hundred
again; but how is that to be done V 'Go and.
ask him for it when he is alone!' said the
counsel. 'Ay. sir, but asking won't do, I'm

At a meeting of delegates from the counties
of-Karnes, and Goliad for the purpose ef nom-
inating a' candidate to represent this district
in the ne^tlegislature the following proceed-
ings weie had { „ , v
, ft. S. Lipscomb was called to the Chair, and
H. M. Beverly appointed Secretary.
'The proceedings Of the meeting in Goliad

ALCOHOL AND MtTRDER,
The virtuous atidindignant editors of Amer-
ica may tower. into their indignations and
wear out their .pens in announcing the atroci-
ties that horrify us every day of our lives—
ihe fights, beatings, manslaughters, homicides,
murders, assassinations that meet us on every
morning page—and their eloquence will be
little better than balderdash—till they please
to see and stop the devil that does all or most
of the mischief^—till they"come out and call
upon the magistrate^ to check the. vending of
rum—and the other murder-drinks that poi-
son the community. We scarcely read a bru-
tal .murder case in the papers, that it cannot
be traced to the irritations of drink. Contem-
plate the case of Dr. Graham of the Nicholas
Hotel—of Mr. Tucker, whd murdered his
child and tried to murder his whole family.—
But why instance these cases to chronicle
their daily rum-homicides? And yet to see
certain classes of men standing up to argue
for the rights of free action, and denouncing
restraints which at their heaviest are bless-
ings compared with the horrid liberty of bru-
tality and bloodshed, is a bitter satire against
pur pretension -as a reasoning; moral people.
Nobody - gets up to argue • for the liberty of
public brothels, or the liberty to sell stinking
meat at our shambles; and yet these have as
good and valid arguments to use in their jus-
tification as we are in the habit of hearing
from the free traders in rum and whiskey.
In all this we are only sayir.g what has
been said ten thousand times. But we must'
still repeat it, in belief that temperancc will
triumph at last We must bid society look
on the murder and bloodshed that increase all
round us, and denounce the careless or cow-
ardly connivance that allows them to go 6ii.
No wonder we shouJd"t>ave a'drunken and
degraded foreign population, when we brew
and distil drink for them and sell it to them
at all hours at the corner of every street.—
No wonder we should have murder when we
feed the fierce heart and nerve the frantic
hand of Ihe manslayer.—Philadelphia Sat-
Mail. * .
former returned with his hundred, glad to find
that in his possession.
'Now, sir, I must be content*—but I Hon't
see that I'm much better off! Well, then, said
the counsel, now take your friend with you,
and aak the landlord for the hundred pounds
your friend saw you leave with him.' We
need not add that the wily landlord hid been
taken Off his guard, while our honest friend
returned to thank his counsel exultingly,
with both hundreds in his pocket."
Tender Solicitude.—(Being an extract
from a fashionable young laity's farwell ag-
nizing letter.)—' Oh! Charles, dear, they
tell me jou are ordered to the theatre of war.
I beg of you, therefore, dear, as you love me,
to bearin mind one thing—and that is above
all, not to forgot to take your opera glass
with you, for I know myself, how extremely
inconvenient if is to go to the theatre without
•ne."—Punch.
Is a Nutshell. — Brownlow, of tke
Knox villa Whig, gives what he calls an
^bridged gospel" of Know Nolhingisai. It
is as follows: Vv- f
Foreigners and Roman Catholics may all
nde in the chariot Of American freedom. Bat
America must drive.
The Pope don't like the Know Noth-
ings.—Pope Pius IX. in his allucotion, de-
livered in his Secret Consistory at Rome, on
the 9th of December last, thus.speaks:
We have still to lament the existence of an
.impious race, who would exterminate all re-
ligious worship if it were possible for them;
and we must count amongst thqpi, before all
the members of secret societies, who, bound
together by a criminal compact, neglect no
means of overthrowing the Church and State
by the violation of every law. It is against
them, assuredly that the words of the Divine
Redeemer are directed: '*You are the chil-
dren of the devil,- and do the work^of your
father." .

it for an hour in cltan water, and wipe it dry;
next spread it all over with thin batter, and
then put it into a deep dish with slicks under
