jHE DAYS WE WOKE NO CHIN OEINiE. Air ‘‘The days when 'we treat Gipseying." Oh! the days we wore no crinoline. „A iong time ago; When wo along the streets would walk ■ln comfort with each beau. Ere hoops and springs, and such like things, On ladies’ forms were seen; Ere fathers raved and husbands stormed About the crinoline. Ere wicked wags, with cruel jokes, Could cause us care and woo; In the days we wore no crinoline, A long time ago. Our hearts were light, we felt no firight, Through crowds to weird our way; But now we’re jammedjand knocked about Where e’er we chance to stray. With friends we then could sail in beats. On streamlets bright and fair, But now our dresses are so large, There is no room to spair; And then we hear tile rascals say; “It was not always so, In the days they wore no crinoline, A long time ago.” We then could pass each country lass Without a single sneer; But now by fashion we’re compelled Those horrid hoops to wear. Thea lovers came with joyous hearts ■Our cavaliers tc be; To lead us up and down the town, The things and sights to see.' But Low they laugh mid run away; It was not always do— In the days we wore no crinoline, A long tint • ago. If ever common sense should reign' O’er fashion’s changing scene, We then may dress as cnce we did, And imitate a queen. The men, also, they must adopt A mce becoming mien; And if they will not lead the way., Farewell to crinoline. * Then we shall weop and say It was not always so, In the days we wore no crinoline, A long time ago.

XHiscdhniunis. [Correspondence of the New York Tribune, TI£C President’s Protest. It is considered somewhat remarkable that the President never protested against the scope cf the investigation by the'House until he read the testimony given before Messrs. Haskin’s and Qovode’s Committees. All the evidence thus far which, in any way, ■implicates him with a privity to the use of money in elections, and the distribution cf patronage with that object, was reluctantly extorted from his own political friends, and from persons who enjoyed his confidence and intimacy. Some of them have openly boasted of not telling ..half they knew, and others testified with mental reservations. The charges made by the Administration organs, that Mr. Cuvude’s Committee were investigating without specific aim, are false. Thus far they have addressed themselves exclusively to the allegations contained in the I'resident’s Pittsburg letter, and find them fully sustained by the corruptions ol his own Administration. Anonymous letters have been addressed to Mr. Covode., threatening him'and. Mr." Sherman with assassination, ■unless they desist from these inquiries. The Republicans have shown, their appreciation of the President’s Message by -e-i-re-ttl.iting a large edition in Connecticut and Rhode Island. -

The Indiana Marshalship.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes: “Tbe appointment of English as Marshal •of Indiana has produced a great flare up in the Administration household. A Mr. Voorhees called on the President and earnestly protested against it in the name of the Administration Democrats in Indiana. After he concluded his remarks, Mr. Buchanan replied: “Mr, yjoorhees, the President, I believe, sir, is vested'With the appointing power, and he has exercised it. 1 have no other answer for you, sir.” Mr. Voorhees, I learn, avows his determination to support Douglas, as the heaviest blow he can give back, and Senator Fitch declares his purpose not again to enter tbe White House.”

Something Wurth Knowing.—One day last week while purchasing a lot of dried fruit we discovered small pieces of sassafras bark mixed among it,_upon inquiry, were informed thTt it was a preventative against the worm. It is said that dried fruit put jiway with a little bark (say a large handful to the bushel,) will save four years, unmolested by those troublesome little insects, which so often, destroy of bushels in a single season. The remedy is cheap and simple, and we venture to say, a good one.— -Lexington (.S'. C.) Flag.

Astor meeting Mr. Whitney one day, said to him: “Mr. Whitney, I hear you have retired from business.” This was niter his retirement in 1837. “Yes,” replied Mr. Whitney, I have re‘ tired. ~ “And how much are you worth!” inquired Mr. Astor. “About $5,000,000.” replied Mr. Whitney. Aller standing and thinking in silence for a moment,” Well,” said Mr. Astor, “I don’t know but it is just as well to retire on that uurn.as it is to be rich.” fffr -There is a lawyer in one of the interior towns of this State named James Thief.

0O”A special dispatch to tbephiladelphia Press says: “Most cf the Southern mrn denounce the President’s protest. The South Americans intend making it an important issue in their canvass before their constituents.” And the Press says.editorially, of the same document: “The Democratic party must utterly and openly repudiate this protest and the protester, or they will hear from the people j;oon upon the subject of Presidential prerogatives.” : Seymour Times thinks a marriage recently reported to have been solemnized in Washington ■county, was a bad arrangement. The parties were Mr. A. J. Crum land Miss Isadora Hornaday. The Times says:: I “We think it rather a poor allowance or : botli.sides. She gets merely, a Crum, while i he has but one Horn-a-day.” o^7*A man named George Worcester hung himself in Elkhart county last week. He tied the rope %o the limb of a tree, climbed I up to the limb and jumped off, giving him- ’ l sell as heavy a fall as if he had been on the I I,drop of a scaffold. Domestic difficulties ; I were supposed to have been the cause ©f it. • i - <»< (fr How IT WAS Found Out.—Mr. What-you-call-him, of our place, says his wife told him that she had been informed that Mr. Stick-in-the-mud’s wife’s cousin had heard how that Mrs, Tattle guessed she saw Somebody go into Mr. Doubtem’s house, whec j nobody could have been there but Mrs. ' Doubtem! We hardly credit the report, but j feel it our duty to circulate it.— Horicon Ar- j ffUS.

She saw the fire bursting out of the house,"and ran home as fast as she- could, ■ but too late to save her children. The house 1 was destroyed., CO“A young man named John Farrell poisoned himself, last Friday, near Lafayette by eating wild parsnips. He died in great agony. But a few weeks ago we were called upon to record a similar occurrence at Fort Wayne, which caused the death of a ! boy.. by the recruiting officer, “Whenyou get into battle, Paddy, will you fight or run!” “Ah, faith,” replied Pat, with a comical twist of his countenance, “I’ll be after doin,’ yer honor, as the majority of yedo.ee.” < o . oO”The Lafayette Courier says that on . Friday night last an attempt was made to i burn the town of Atica. It was fired in three places at the same time, and in the confusion and alarm .produced by the fires several private houses were entered and robbed.
