Celling through the World. All men are possessed of a capacity to make a living in some way or other,..either as professional men, mechanics, laborers, or by the thousand and one different avocation* to which men cau and do denote themselves Though many make an awful mistake in the choice of occupation^ they manage to keep body and soul together, creating a wonder bow it is done, but eliminating nothing sufficiently lucid to solve thfe mystery. Bread for the inward mon and garments fur the outward are necessary to prevent a return to primitive days thus obliging every individual who was not "born under a lucky star," to work his way through the world as best he can. Going upon the principle that the world owes every one a living, enables a good many to thrive more or less—especially the less with the larger number—without paying particular attention to any particular ostensible business. The ingen®f!y of the human mind is truly wonderful in lite varying circumstances which may surround it. A man "hard up" undergoes a mental labor surprising to himself an.l to everybody eUo, by its intenscncrfs and success. Contrivance, invention, originality, stimulated by a depressed stato of affairs, clear away the clouds of despond, open new avenues for operations, brighten the path uf progress,cheer the heart of the unfortunate, and perhaps, by a well conducted arrangement bring to the surfaco the hitherto inhabitant of dark and gloomy channels underneath. The character of the operations attempted is as various as the flowers that bloom, embracing •II the intermediates from the most humble and d»#pisable, to the night-blooming Ceres or Victoria Regia of renown or exalted station. Whatever pursuit is available in yieldlng"the one thing needful," has it* pursuers. The all-absorbing product is the cause of action, and when secured sends a thrill as potent to the heart of the needy as to the gra*p

of insatiable avarice. Cultivation and experience assist natural capacity, but sometimes the keenest and sharpest, who enjoy with self-satisfaction the comfortable reflection that they arc weli posted in the ways of the world, are caught by practical sharpers always on the look-out and ready whenever opportunity offers to take advantage and tnnko victims to their unscrupuiouaness. Taking Shokspearo for their bible, because ho says "put money in thy puNe," these sharpers compromise their chances of getting into Heaven by going any length to obey their orach*. Barring the declaration of Holy Writ thaf'the love of money is the root of all evil," as unworthy of belief— an idea propagated probably by the wellknown inconvenience of an empty pocket— they persist by all manner of means, legitimate or foul, in depositing iho dimes in their port monnnies. Very many auxiliaries, coarse, vulgar, and genteel, contribute towards this great desideratum. Razor* made to seWboth themselves and purchasers, burnished watches, "gettin' up" horses, and such like cause frequent donations from the unsophisticated to the "pile" of the operator.— The latest invention for this purpose we have hoard of, ie one that has been practiced in this place, as sundry gentlemen of benevolent dispositions from the country can testify. In addition to a sorrowful tale of misfortune#, mother being sick, and iho want of money to get to too her and relieve her necessities, copious «ttann were shed, of such irresistible influence as to loosen the pur«e strings of theaa aforesaid gentlemen for an Investment in spurious jewelry and old clothes for no*, not because the articles were sacrificed "cheap," but from the laudable motive of assisting a "poor fellow mortal In distress." When they recover from their martyrdom, we hope they and all others who may be-approached by these prowling impostors, will bear in mind that there are more ways than oue of through the

LAWRENCEBURGH ROUTE. Examine the advertisement in the proper column, for the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad via Lawrenceburgh. This must become <the great route to Cincinnati>. We cannot give a more accurate description of the road, than the following from the Morning Journal of Indianapolis, of Wednesday:

Items of a late Trip.

The Indianapolis and Cincinnati route via Lawrenceburgh, besides being rapid and cheap one, is very agreeable. The Railroad is easy to travel upon, the scenery interesting, the steamers furnish good accommodations, and the hours for arrival and departure are very convenient.

The names of pointi sod distances on this foute are as follows Prom Indianapolis to Oaliaudet 9 miles Parmersville 12 Iy .T?n 15 Fairland 20 Shelby vi lie 2fi MiUJietown 33 St. Omar 35 Clifty 40 Greensbtirgh 46 Crackaway &5 Batesviile 61 3pade*s 61 Van Wedden'a7l Barman's 75 Guilford 80 Law renceburgh d8,» Cincinnati 108.

Lawrenceburgh, which has been in a languishing condition for several years, from the effects of flood, fire, and other "backsets," has taken a new start lately and now wears a lively appearance. Several valuable improvements have been made.

The Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad, at present terminating there, and the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, pass through the place on trestle work, which will be embanked with earth. This spoils some of the best streets, unless a general system of filling up shall be carried out. The Indianapolis and Cincinnati Rail Road runs along the western and southern borders of the city, and terminates at the steamboat landing.

We noticed that most of the grading of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad has been done between Cincinnati and Lawrence burgh and some of the iron laid. There appears to be no doubt that the road will be in operation to Lawrenceburgh and Aurora by New Year's Day. ~~~~~~~~

PORK PROSPECTS.

We clip the following from the Cincinnati Gazette. It is pregnant with meaning.— Up to the 22d November, 15,651 more hogs hrd arrived in Cincinnati than to the same date last year and this too in the face of low prices, and unfavorable weather. Seeing such an increase under circumstances so unfavorable, what may not be expected from favorable weather and better prices!

There has been much surmise andspecu lation on the number of hogs that may be packed this season. But here is a fact. As such we give it without further comment.— The Gazelle of the 22d says "We commence this week tho publication of our usuul statement of the arrivals of hogs at this place. The receipts,&c., since the 1st instant, havo been as follows

By River 29,715 By Railroads and Canals 5,737 Through Toll-gate 2,923 From Kentucky 28,500 Slaughtered at Plainville 1,039 Slaughtered in Covington 1,500

Total 69,414 To same date last year 63,763 There is a large number of hogs in the vicinity that are held back, owing to the warm weather, and tho crowded condition of the pens. The number that crossed tho

B*smm in every thing these tiroes

We suppose parties will come IO* some kind of terms or understanding after little, when there will be a rush of business, and the packing soason delayed much beyond tho usual time.—The hogs are in the country, and sooner or later must be brought to market and slaughtered.

The Administration and New York Election. We extract the following from a recent letter of the Mainmort Patrial $ Washington^ correspondent, "POTOMAC": "Evidently the members of the Administration, and their leading friends in New York, are in great trouble about the result of the New York elections. The strong vote of the Hards, or National Democrats, and the weakness of the Softs, or Freesoilers, with the National government and all its patronage and power to back them, have produced a crushing effect upon the nerves of the Cabinet, as well as the nerves of the faithful (in & horn) in New York. Messrs.

is bv the general consent reputed to be, fct least, at times, that Messrs. Marcy and Guthrie will have to retire, before long, from the Cabinet. The other members may retire also, as was the case with General Jackson's first Cabinet, and as was the case, with all but one, of General Harrison's Cabinet. The New York'Herald, I perceive, recommends that General Lushing should retire, and be sent as Envoy to Japan, to negotiate a treaty with tha Emperor of that vastly rich Empire of the Ea*t as happy iri its effects as his treaty with the Emperor of China,some years ago, proved to be.

By the way, the President and General Cushing were out together on a walk jesteaday. Anybody cun imagine the theme of their conversation. General Cushing looked flushed and spirited, but President Pierce looked pale and ill at ease. I he President undoubtedly has a good heart, and ardently wishes to please, first, the great majority of the Democratic party, and second, to pleaee the whole country, if he-possibly can. He must, by this "time, have found that, in listening and consentins to the advice of Gov. Marcy, in the matter of interfering in the local politics and elections of New'Vork, and the removal of Judge Bronson from office because he would not appoint more Free-Soilers to cuStom house office nor support the Free-Soil State ticket, he has neither pleased the great body of the Democratic party, nor*the country generally but oil the contrary, has greatly displeased both. And having found out this great fact, there is good reason to believe that the President will, for the future, all in good time, so act officially in the matter as will cause him soon to &t.aud before the world, rectus in curia."

adelphia Ledger says that the present cheap postage system has not come up to the expectations of its advocates, and that, there is a probability that some amendments will be proposed at the coming session of Congress, increasing the rate. We think this prediction will not be sustained by the action of Congress. We can think of nothing more unlikely, or which would meet a more general and just condemnation at the hands of the people, than a proposition to return to the high postage system. Cheap postage will here, as every where else, vindicate itself. With our national treasury over-burdened with money, we can surely spare a

few millions, if it be necessary, for the establishment of so necessary and judicious a reform. The idea of going backward in the matter, will, we are satisfied, nowhere meet with favor.—<Balt. American>. ~~~~~~~~

LEGAL TACTICS.

The'paper and ink consumed in lauding that invaluable blessing, trial by jury, are incalculable in amount, and yet much which relates to the management of these "twelve men" has never been written. Outsiders —that is, those not constant visitors to the court room—have but an imperfect idea of the machinery pot in motion to bear upon the minds of a jury.

The conclusion of the Martha Washington trial has afforded a striking case in illustration, and the coup devrace having been dealt by the giani. hand of jsoch distinguish: ed counsel as Messrs. Ewing and Swayne must be considered a master stroke of legal tactics.

The defence had subpoen®d some three htindred Witnesses and made grand and? imposing display of administering the o#tH to this array.- Of dourse the prosecution supposed ali these witnesses were to be called upon the stand, when lo and behold, after perllap? a third had testified, they were s^ldenly astounded by the announcement of counsel that the defence had closed its testimony. Tho stroke was bold and successful. iu*rr 1

The prosecution Intended to introduce rebutting evidence, but the witnesses were not present, the Court could not delay to remedy the oversight of counsel, and the case must go to the jury. There was no alternative, the District Attorney, Mr. Morton was forced—without a moment's time to prepare his notes, and arrange and digest the evideace—to proceed with the opening argument. He did so, acquitting himself ably, yet unsatisfactory to himself, nl I 3s

Mr. Stansbury, that intellectual and legal

the prosecution being entitled to the last speech when another announcement more startling than the first informed the Court that the defence declined to answer Mr. Morton and were willing to submit the case. This was a finishing stroke, for it«cut off any further argument in the cause.

In the present instance the effect was threefold it shut outre'out-ing testimony, It forced the District Attorney to deliver without preparation his opening argument, and it saved the defendants from the fearful inflnence the last argument from such a man as Mr. Stansbury might have.— Cleveland Herald.

Annexation of the Sandwich Islands The usually reliable Washington corres.pondent of the Philadelphia American has the following information on this'subject "Do not be surprised if you should learn, within a few weeks, that a treaty of annexation to the United States has already been negotiated between the Hon. Luther Severance, U. S. Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands, and the "authorities of the Hawaiin Governmant. Indeed, it is not improbable such a treaty is now on its way to Washington. Mr. Severance has authority to negotiate such a treaty, and the recent change in the Hawaiin Cabinet is understood to have been brought about to accom

result. Dr. Judd, who retired in favor of Mr. Allen, was a friend of annexation, but desired its accomplishment with certain restrictions likely to embarrass both governments in their negotiations on the subject or, perhaps, it is more accurate to say that he was in favor of annexation on certain

THE ERICSSON ENGINE. The New York Journal of Commerce gives us the annexed information of'what is doing by the friends of this new motor: "It will be recollected that the caloric ship Ericsson returned from her trip to Washington about seven months ago, and that immediately thereafter, essential modifications and improvements in the plan of the engine were determined upon. These have since been in progress, at Williamsburgh, near where the ship was built, and where she has since lain. The public will be gratified to learn that these alterations are now nearly completed, and that, so far from the enterprise having been abandoned, as has been the general belief, the fullest confidence is entertained on the part of those immediately interested, of its complete success, on the second trip of the ship. Mr. Ericsson is devoting his whole time and undivided energies to the realization of this end.

It is expected that within two weeks, one of the engines will be completed, and the other will be finished soon after. The several parts are already, and now on board.— We understand that the power of these engines will far exceed what was attained under the low pressure system employed on the first trip—as they are now to be worked under condensed pressure." ~~~~~~~~

ISWA* CLAIM

NOBTRERS VERMONT.--

There is now in attendance upon the Legislature of Vermont, in session in Montpelier, a deputation of Iroquois Indians, to press a claim to a considerable portion of the State. The Springfield Republican says the claim is no new affair. It waa presented first in 1786, and has been renewed at frequent intervals since. It embraces all that portion of the State north of Otter Creek, and between Lake Champfain and where the water begins to flow into the Connecticut. This territory hanged originally to the tribe now laying ri u» lo it, and they insist that they have never ceded it way.— They ask that their claim should be fairly investigated at any rate.

Ex-Governor Colby, ot New Hampshire, made a good hit in his speech at the dinner given at the great Horse Exhibition at Springfield, Mass., the other day. In referring to his native State, he sajd "It was well known that Hew Hampshire never eeieeted her noblest sons for the highest honor*." He no sooner utt*red it than it was loodly af wW. We suspect tte* aaust have been some of the New York Adamantines scattered through the crowd.

and French potest is received with^ much

favor here. The careful reader cannot fail to see that it indicates, on-»he part of its author, a full consciousness of his political ability as well as his diplomatic, power to negotiate for annexation. There is no use in being surprised at anything now-a-daye, and we might just as well make up our minds to receive the "gentlemen from Hawaii" in the U. S. Senate ere long—perhaps before the public wakes up to a realization of the fact that the annexation is possible. Mr. Allen will be likely to be one of the Senators, nnd the Rev. Dr. Judd may be the other. Is nol this "fact" oountry "Mr. Elishn H. Allen, who succeeds Mr. Judd in the Hawaiian ministry, came to Washington two years ago, during the timet of the French aggression on the Islands,! with a direct proposition for annexation.—— Mr. Webster would not entertain the proposition, and Mr. Allen rffturrfed, and now promotes the same scheme as a member of the Hawaiian government. Mr. Gregg, the new Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands, is fully informed that the sentiment of the Administration warmly favors annexation. That and the Cuba question arc expected to be the great topics of interest during tho next Congress.
