tinue their subscription.
If subscribers order the discontinuance of

JLectnrc of E ola Montex lift Aid
of a Church.
It lias already been stated that the offer
of the famous Lola Mon'tez to deliver a
Jwiture in New York in aid of the church
of. the Good Shepherd, of which Rev.
Ralph Hoyt was the rector, and which was
blown down during a gale of wind in last
March, had met with some disapprobation
on the part of the bishop of the diocese
and several other clergymen of that city,_
and (hat the Rev. Mr. Hoyt had been taken
to task by them for^acoepting the offer.
Lola, however, despite all opposition, did
lecture according to promise at HopeCbapel
on Wednesday evening, before a large
audience, and took occasion to give the
clergv 44 a piece of her mind
The advertisements, she said, have in-
formed you that the proceeds of this lee
ture are to be given to the Rev. Ralph
Hoyt to build his free church for the poor.
The papers have also apprised you that
some of the clergy *have cast reflections
upon the worthy rector for his willingness
to receive the sum which your patronage
of this lecture yields. [Applause.] This
is ser tara I y a piece of bigotry, intolerance
and cruelty to the poor, and of meddle
some impertinence, which I have never
before wimessed, even in the most illiberal
'Catholic countries in the world. [Great

continued the lecturer, humble as I am, to
read these bl?ad bigots a lesson—[applause]
—and to tell them they are not Christians,
butPharisces. • Applause.] They belong,
I think, to the same class of hypocrits who
«condemned the Savior because he eat and
tlrank with publicans and sinners; and
they,appear to be just as full of the devil

When life is so transient,
And rapid Time's tread

For a gentle wife sigh ?
Who'd he a bachelor ?

Lonely old bachelor,
Wretched indeed ;
No one to comfort you,
One thing you need.
Would you go happily, .
Smiling through life ?
Take to go with you

the prayers of this congregation m behalf
of all such benighted aaa miserable sin-
ters. [Applause and laughter.]
At the close of her lecture, Madame
"Lola Mor.tez was greeted with the most
enthusiastic applause, which she was twice
Obliged to acknowledge.
Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God
«ends them*nd the evils bear patiently
and sweetly. For this day only is on/a;
we are to yesterday, and we ate not

Not to know what has been' transacted
in former times, is to continue always a
child. If no use is made of the labors of
jpast ages, the world would always remain
in the infancy of knowledge.—Cicero.

Everything has its use. Were it not
for the flies, people in the summer time
would sleep two hours longer than they
do, and thus lose the best part of the day
—the portion devoted to sunrise and
meado larks.
By letter from a friend the other day,
we learn that a " fast^ marriage came off
in «tpeliad. The Rev. (shameful!) Mr.
M'Gianahan and Mrs. Shives, Principals
in the Institute in that place were discov-
ered to have had unlawful intimacies be-
tween them, resulting in the iady becomings
enciente. Upon the diseovery of which

The «¡an, probably not ftilly prepared for
the latter, closed with the first proposition.
A. J.. P. was called on to seal the bargain
in double quick time. The next conse-
quence was the ejection of both from the
schools; a further one will be met in the
shape of a church trial—by then they may
learn that they have " paid too dear tor

A natura) curiosity is on exhibition in
Boston, which is intended as a present to
Queen Victoria. It is a Mock of New
Hampshire granite, bearing on its sjiface
the exact resemblance of the top part ot a
tree or shrub, all the. lines of the foliage
being clearly and perfectly visible. It is
supposed the sprig or branch of a tree ac-
cidentally fell into a crevice in the rock,
which afterwards by the jy.tion of the frost
closed up, and in course of time tlie fresh
green bough became petrified into solid
rock.
We notice that the cancela imported
from the Canary Islands were being dis-
charged yesterday from the two vessels that
brought them. Some apprehended that
their strange appearance won id canse a
stampede among the horses, but though
their singular and huge forms attracted
some attention, yet they are so docile and i
gentle that no alarm was manifested by mir -
domestic animals. These camels, 82 in
all, are imported on private account, and
the owners are ready to sell them either to
the Government or to private partieR. They
•re almost the only domestic? animal in the
Canary Islands for service, and they are
used, not only for transporting all burthens,
but also for ploughing and nearly all other
purpose# on farms. No carts, wagons or
carriages are there used, but the camel
supplies their place. It is believed by
some that this animaT will be found profit-
able for similar uses in Texas, and the
experiment already made by the Govern-
ment proves entirely successful. But one
of those imported two or threo years a^o
has died, while there has been quite an
increase by births. The climate and food
seem to suit them admirably.—Galveston
yetes, 2«th.
Nuts to Crack.—A matter-of-fact co
temporary, one of those precise persons, who
as Jean Paul says, would determine the
course of a zephyr by a sea-compass, and
the heart of a girl by conic section?, wants
an answer to the following question:
"When sorrow has lost its traces, what
has become of the rest of the harness!''
A Poetical Darke v.—A negro ¿river
of a coach in Texas, stopping to get some
water for the young ladies in the carriage,
being asked what he stopped for, replied
4 Vs watering my flowers.' A pr jttier com-
pliment could not be invented.
TO THE VOTERS OF THE FIRSTJÍUDICIAL DIS
TRICT.—FELLOW-CITIZENS :
In consequence of the unfair and unmanly
attacks that have just boon made upon; me ou
the eve of the election, I am constrained to ad-
dress to you a short circular. I entered upon the
canvass for the Judgeship with the determination
of running upon my own merits as a man and
as a lawyer. Soon after becoming a candidate,
I was approached by personal friénds of the
Know-Nothing party, who had been loud mouth-
ed in their huzzas for " N politics in the court-
house," and told that I could not receive their
support because of my Democracy, and because
I did not support Judge Bell in the last election.
I made 110 complaint of their inconsistency, and
still made, no effort to arouse party feeling. , j
When Í visíud the German ae'.llomente, they
very náturally wanted to know my politics; and
in answer to their inquiries I stated that I was a
Democrat, and that my opponent, Mr. Smith,
claimed to be a Whig.
After discovering, as I verv soon did, that in
Fayette county; where the K. N. vote is strong,
Mr. Smith's friends were active in urging his
claims upon the Knovv-Nothings upon the ground
that he was at heart a Know-Nothing, and had
always acted with them, then, in self-dsfense,
I notified my Democratic friends of their move-
ments, and stated to them fairly and squarely
where I stood.
Now I am charged in the last number of the
Columbus Citizen[ With having abandoned the
position of running as an independent candidate
upon my awn merits, and that I am soliciting
suffrage upon the strength of my merits with
one individual, and upon my convention Democ-
racy with an other, and with my support of Judge
Buckley with a third. I pronounce the charge
unqualifiedly false, so far as double-dealing is
concerned.
My political opponents commenced the effort
to array parly feeling against me,ai>d whenever
I urged Democrats to stand true to their colors,
it was because the opposition were assailing me
upon purely party grounds. To show you th<i
sort of tactic\that have been resorted to, I will
state ono instance:
My quondam friend, Bill Webb, who is the
" bell wether'* of the K. N. party in Fayette,
wrote a confidential letter to Alex. Irwin at Fay-
etville, telling him " to remember that Harcourt
was the President of the Democratic Association
•f Fayette county—that they had beaten Col.
Dancy, and if they could beat Harcourt, the
¿Democratic party in Fayette wuuid be dead—
that Smith was a Know-Nothing at heart to his
certain knowledge; that he had always acted
with them.'''>
Having shown you how the game was played"
to unite the Know-Nothing vote against me, 1
will briefly notice the next K. N. trick to fright-
en off the German voters from my support. It
is an article published in the " Colorado
and misrepresenting conversations, and my {fbst
political bourse, they undertake to- give an ex-
tract of a letter from me to John 1. Ho! man,
dated in July, 1855. This letter I unhesitatingly
pronounce to be it batat forgery. 1 never wrote
tfücli a letftsr. There was such a lettei written
by Ffc'd Táte, Esq., and the gentlemen who have
published this as my letter knew that Mr. Tate
was the author of it. because Mr. J. T. Ilolman
published it as Mr. Tate's letter in a publication
he made against Mr. Tate when he was a candi-
date for the Senate. The letter was in Mr.
Tate's hand writing, and written in the first per-
son, as his Sidiviidual letter My name, with
perhaps two or three others, was solicited and
signed to it as persuasive to Mr. Ilolman not to
run against Mr. Gay.
Fellow-citizens, I beg your pardon for having
stooped to notice the dirty efforts made to defeat
me ; but when I saw the whole pack had opened
on my trail at a tim? when they supposed I was
down on the coast, and would not be in rcach to
replv, and fearing that it might have its desired
effect with those unacquainted with me, I have
thought it due myself to respond in the manner
I have.
I have been engaged in the practice of law
twelve years, and with all the venom of my as-
sailants no one has dared to attack my moral
integrity- If you should elect mc as the Judge
Of this District, I can doly promise you my sin-
cere thanks and pledge lnyselif to an honest and
impartial discharge of the cutíes of the office.
I am very respectfully your friend and obedient
servant, JOHN T. HARCOURT.

¡a summer—glorious summer—
beyond the smoky town,
with a long day's ramblo
mgh the fern and blooming bramble,
feeding rest, I sat me down. %
¡ng crags hung high above me,
Br looking grandly rtide ;
there was some trace of mildness
lis scene so weird—its wildness
ight be sought for solitude.
1 and flowers, songs and beauty,
emed this rugged realm to fill;
vhich was my feoul's entrancing
imqsic and the glancing
a rock-born plashing rill.
|ering there I was delighted,
fusing on the day gone by,
Patching its bright spray-pearls sprinkledj
Every silvery tone that tinkled
Touched some cord of memory.
>Twas as if sweet spirit'voices
! Threw a spell around me there ;
Now in lightest notes of gladness,
flow in deeper Jones of sadncssj
Waiting whispers to my ear.
Memory, hope, imagination,
J emed to have usurped my w ill;
my thoughts kept on a dreaming
Till the bright stars were a gleaming
To the music of the rill.
What a worldjof strange reflections
Came upon me then unsought!
Stiünge that sounds should find responsés—
Where e'en mystery ensconces—
In the corridors of thought!
Tbtett emotions were awakened,
Making my heart wildly thrill,
As I lingered there and listened.
Whilst the deW around me glistened *
To the music of the rill!

Am Editor Tight.—We believe that it
rare fhnt editors indulge in a drop, but
wiu-n th* y do, their readers are sure to find
thctn out. A Syiacu^j cotemporary was
called upon to record a ." melancholy
event" a at time wheu his head was rather
heavy, and did it up after the following
manner:
Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, p.m.,
a man with :i heel in the hole of his stock-
ing, committed arsenic bv swallowing a
dose of suicide. The inquest of the ver-
dict returned a jnrj* that the deceased came
to hts facts in accordance with the death.
He leaves a child, aná bíx small wives to
lament the end of his untimely loss. In
death we are in the midst of lite!
Aoger is the most impotent passion that
accompanies the mind of man; it effects
nothing it goes about; and hurts the man
who is possessed by it, more than any
other against whom it is directed.
A person reading the funeral services at
agrave, forgot the sex of the deceased and
asked one of the mourners, an Emeralder,
u is this a brother 01 a sister ?" " If either;
only a cousin," was the reply.
" I don't see as anything is the matter
with this plum pudding," said a fellow ata
thanksgiving dinner. " Well, who said
there was ?" growled out hi* neighbor.
" Why, I concluded there was; you all
seem to be running it down," éoolly said
the other.
The Tomato.—Its Properties.—Dr. J. J.

it is almost a sovereign remedy for dyspep-

Cotton Picking Extraordinary*
The following is from a correspondent of
the Tawnboro Express, and was handed tifc
by a friend for publication: There w not
much noise made about it, but theré aire a
few " cullud pussons" in our county rather
hard to beat in the way of cotton picking,
but we think 1,096 is a " few" more pounds
than any of our Colorado hands can pidk.
But here is the account of it, dated
Tawnboro, N. C., Sept. 2V, 1858.
Dear Express:
Being a subscriber to your paper, and a
constant reader, and never having seem
any communication published from my
county, I have concluded to send you a
short account of an extraordinary " cotton
picking" had at the "Strabace'' plantation
of our townsman, R, B. Bridgers, Esq., on
the 25th inst.
Thirty-two band*, picked sixteen thou-
sand and ninety-six pounds (16,096,) being
an average of 502 pounds. The highest
(man named Herbert) picked one thousand
and sixty-seven pounds; the four highest
averaged seven hundred and seventy-nine
and one-fourth pounds; the fourteen high-
est averaged six hundred and nine and one1
half pounds.
The hands commenced at 5 o'clock, 4.
M., and ¡stopped, at 7 o'clock, P. M., ex-
cept the man Herbert, who wor'kéd forty-
five minutes longer, it being thja timé
required for the wagons to make a load
from the field to the gin house ápd return
for a second load. At the tinpe wben lhe
other hands stopped, Herbert had about
one thousand and twentviSve ponnds.
During the afternoon, Herbert picked 77
pounds in 55 minutes,.and it. was not
known to him that the cpWon,,pj<jkecb,iu,
the time would be weighed separately.
This was picked and weighed in 'the-
presence of Messrs. Jesie Mercet^EliSSa
Cromwell, R. H. Pender, J. L. Bridgers,
R. R. Bridgers and H. O. Dixon. The
hands picked in sacks, one end attached to
the body by a strap óvét the-left Shpuldtfr,'
and ¿he other end resting on the ground;
Each one emptied the cotton out into, bas-
kets which coptaiued, when, filled, from
seventy-five to one huudred ami fifty pounds
of cotton. Siei'srs. Mcr^r aifiL R, R.

and saw the cotton weighed' by Mr. Dixon.
Mess rs. Cromwell and Pender were present
the greater part of the day, and saw the
greater part of the picking and weighing
—the quantity picked in their presence
corresponding with ;thát Tepórled in their
absence. .
During the day, Messrs. Wqi. Norfleét
and H. S. Eloyd visited the pladtátion and
saw a large quantity Of the cottOn picked
that day, and they, with the others already
mentioned, say that the cotton was in
''good merchantable*' condition.
The statement will no doubt fceem .in-
credible to most of yoür readers, but it Is'
nevertheless true. Can any one béat Hi

purpose of carrying provisions aad wino-to
