The Police of Puis., The Police of Paris-are said to. be the most efficient in the world. It is Argus* eyed and almost nmbiquUous, A rogue to succeed in the Frenip capital must U adroit indeed. . Nevertheless, ate hundreds there, bold, daring, resolute and reckless, who, if thej Vqold,; apply the same energies to any. 'hd.uwt purpose, would not only acquire fame bnt fortune.' - A Paris correspondent of the.Jfew York . Express gives the following illustration of the vigilenco of tho Police: "A few doys ago. one hundred and seventy thousand francs were missedlty the Bank of France, A search was made by the Bank, with no satisfactory result— Information of the loss was given; to the police, Satpicion attached itself to one of the clerks in the bank. He was|’placed nnder secret tvnelHante. For days he was watched, unknown to himself] . Still no proof of his criminality conhl Jbo obtained. He was from.-.the province of Picardy, and, on - New Year’s djiy, left Paris to spend that holliday at fapme.— Ho was. followed by tho policoj- The next morning he went into tho woods for tho ostensible pofposoof hunting. No report of fire arias was heard, |In the evening of the same day ho returned to i Paris. After his'departure the j woodswere searched, fresh looki ug spots were dug np. but Nothing; was discovered.— lire agent of the police, who bad the matter id charge, returned (6 tho city, and presented himself before the suspected in.divnal, and told him all ho had donp fot tho pievions fortnight— even bis coycrsations with his relatives were repealed.— . The visit to tho woods was meptioned with the rest. The roan was aationded, and, completely thrown off 1 this guard, at last confessed that he : bad stolen the notes, and gained the spot, .in the 'woods in question where he had hurried them. Tho money has been recovered, and tho thief is now in prison awaiting bis trial.”

In 1844, when Mr. Galboun was Secretary ol State, and our relations with Texas, then an independent Republic, were of a most delicate and important character it became necessary to send to that country a special Charge d*Affairs, charged with the most responsible duties. The selection of a proper man devolved, upon the President and Cabinet,, but mainly upon Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Calhoun, who, in his day, enjoyed some reputation as a statesmanlike and discriminating man, selected Andrew Jackson Donnelsan, and conveyed to him the fact of his appointment in the following letter: 1

Isaac Newton— Respected Friend: It would give mo great pleasure to accept your kind invitation to visit Philadelphia, if it were possible to make ; my visit pri* vale, and limit it to a few personal friends whom I should be most happy to see; but I.know this would be out of my power, and 1 am, therefore, reluctantly compelled to decline your invitation, as I have.done others to New York and Boston for the same reason.

| We hoard an interesting'’anecdote, the other day, of General Hanrison, which we have never seen in print.' i £ paring the political campaign which terminated in the election of Gen. Hamiron, a certain well kbbW Democratic editor visited———— to address f.political meeting there. Upon Ins arrival he was surrounded by the friends of the faith, and soon found himself warmly discussing the ; principles of the old Democracy.. After convincing his friends of the ruin in which the Whigs were attempting to involve the country, and the aU-taring power of the Democracy, ha commenced a tirade upon the private character of Gen. Harrison; he had not proceeded far in this strain, however, before be was confronted by a Ull, raw-bon-ed, pioneer, with,—■ ■ “Look here; stranger, if you mean to say that Geo. Harrison is anything less than a gentleman, you’re a villain and a liar!”

The Indiana State Journal copies'the above from the Aurora Stqndiml, and commends it as worthy the partiealar attention of the Amcn'canedilors aj jRiVny Sun and . Vcvay. Doubtless it fe meant to be commended os well to all the Fill* more papers in the State. ■ , , - It may be that we do not clearly understand the idea intended to be conveyed in the above extract Butto one who did not know the fads to be otherwise, the natural impression would' bo this—that ■Mr. Cumdack withdrew from the American party, as a National organization, on account of the adoption of the Twelfth Section by the Philadelphia Convention, of which he was a member, and that subsequent to this be was elected to Congress os an Anti-Xebraska American, ns contradistinguished from Twelfth Section Americans. Is this the idea intended to be conveyed? If so let us see how far it accords with the truth.. , Mr. CtniBACK was elected to Congress in October 1854, the Philadelphia! Convention referred to was held in June, 1855. At the time of Mr, Ctsiback.s election to Congrpss there was no such party known ns ; Anli-Xebratka ' American. Ho was elected as a National American, and subscribed to the same kind ot Americanism, that obtained the country over, as well in Tennessee as in Indiana. Afterwards, on account of the high position they held, Mr. CuiiBACK and Mr. Colfax were sent as delegates from.the Indiana American Slate Council to;.the National American Council -at Philadelphia, Then it was that the attempt was first made to denationalize the Ordct,. by incorporating upon‘the Platform a thorough Anti-Nebnw : ka plank. This ‘movement was favored by the Indiana delegates; but it failed, and thecelebrated Twelfth Section was adopted‘in its stead. This was the beginning 1 of all the troubles that have since distrac* tedfand divided'the American'party, and qurlndiana delegates are not without their full share; of tbe responsibility.; The true policy was.to adopt-tho proposition; of Mrj Rayxoh which; kept the question of Slavery out of the Platform of the Order entirely, leaving the organization North and South.to adopt their own' courfeo upon th ; $ question. -But did riot our wise leaders in Indiana, , Not jeontent with being permitted to acvopy an AntiNebraska posit ion. themselves,itlieyiungt force the South intp the'same position, or emasculate the Order. Hence, tjio proposition of Rayxqii was’ voted -dawn, and we pyo now reaping tho bitter fruit. And theiend is not yet. . . • ; •Neilher is it true, as above intimated, that Mr. Cumback and the other Northern members with whom he acted,, withdrew from the - Order on account of the proceedings at Philadelphia,. He and others simply entered their protest, but did ool withdraw.

State Departmest, ? September 16tb, 1844. 5 Mr Dear Sid: —The state of thing* in Texas is such as to require that the place (Oblige d'Affaires) should be filled without delay; and to select him, who under all circumstances may be thought best calculated to bring to a successful decision the great question of annexation, now pending before tho two countries. After full deliberation, you have been selected as that individual, and'I. do trust, my dear sir, that yoli will not decline the appointment, however great,may be the personal sacrifice of accepting. The great question must be decided iu the next three or four months, and whether it shall bo favorably or not, may depend upon .him who shall fill the mission now tendered to you, I need not tell yon how much depends bn its decision for.weal or woe to onr country, and perhsps tbe whole continent. It is sufficient to say, that viewed in all its consequences, it is one of the very first magnitude, and that it gives an importance to the mission, at this time that raises it to a level witb.tlie highest gift of the Government

Beauty changes with; the times— Once she chase her shelter In the shaded solitudes. Lest the son might melt her, Stronger-breathed, she dashes on, Now from lowiy In city; In b locomotive $nape, Nothing hall so pretly.

While, I am an active-ob-server of public events, I am by no.mcans, an indifferent .one, and may say to yon in tbo frankness of private friendship, that I have for, a long time looked with dread and apprehension at the corrupting influence which the contest for foreign'votes is exertiffg upon -our elections., This seems to result from its being handed together, and subject to the control of a few interested and selfish lenders. Hence, it has been a subjcctiof bargain and sale, and each of the great political parties of the conntry'hdvo been bidding to obtain it, and as usnal in all Buch contests, the party which is most corrupt is most sue ccssfnl. Tito consequences is,, that it is fast demoralizing the whole country, corrupting the very fountains of political power, and converting the ballot-box-— that great palladium of our liberty—-into an unmeaning mockery, where the rights of native-born citizens are voted-away-by those who blindly fullouj their mercenary and selfish leaders, f : The evidences of this is found, not merely tu the shameless chaffering for the foreign vote, at every .election, hut in the largo disproportion of offices which ore now held by forcigueri-V at homo and abrond, as compated; with our native citizens. Where is the trne-heni ted ; American, whose check does hot tingle with shame and mortification to sec our highest and most coveted foreign missions filled by men of foreign birth to the exclusion of native boro? . Such appointments arc a hiiuiiliatihg confession to the crowned heads of Europe that a llepuhli : can soil docs not produce sufficient talent to represent a Republican nation at a monatchial C6urt.| I confess that it seems.to me—with all due respcyt tp others, that, ns a genera! rule, our. country should bo. governed by American horn citizens. Let ns give to the oppressed of every country ah asylum and a'homq'in our happy j ami—give to .all the benefits of equal laws, and equal protect ion—but let us at the same time cherish as the.apple of our eye, r the, great principles of eou-, ititntional libcriy,’ which, few, who, have not had the good fortune, to he reared in n free country know how to appreciate, arid still Jess howto preserve. .■ in. tbrtt inestimable legacy which lie has left to his cotmtry—hU farewell address,; has wisely, warned ns to beware of foreignv inllncnce, as. thb,-most baneful foe of a republican government. Ho saw it to be sure in; a different‘dight from that iu which it now presents itself; hut he knew that it would approach us in all forma, and. hence he cautioned us against the insidious idlesxf Us iti/huncs. Therefore, as well for our own sakes, to whom this invaluable inheritance of felfgovernment has been left by o«r; forefathers, as for Uic sako of the unborn millions who.are left to inherit tins land —foreign and native-r-let na take warning of the Father of his Country, and do’what we can justly to’preserve our institutions from corruption,- mid oqr country from dishonor, hot let this tie done by the people themselves in their sovereign capacity kywakiog a proper discrimination in’the selection of officers, and nob by depriving any foreign porn—of Bnycoristitational or legal right to . which be is now entitled. ■ -

Tho editor stopped short — looked around in surprise—perhaps he expected to see the hold insnlter annihilated. The pioneer continued: *Tm . a Democrat; hot I don’t Jllow any demagogue to speak disparagingly of Gen. Harrison in my presence.” - "Oh, you’re excited; niy friend,” pc* marked the editor coolly. "I’m not excited; hat I owe my home to Gen. Harrison, and when any man abuses him in my’presence ho’sgptlo fight. If .you wont to, know why. I’ll just tell yon. VVhed I camp ont West I fqnalted on. an eighty acre hit of land'—I had no money—and whenever 1 could get a job of work which would bring me’a little cash, I pitched in, procured my ,hard earned money and;laid it. up. Tima I worked fpr a long; while, saving all the silver I enmo across—I believe I’d sooner have starved than spent any of the'hard* —till at length I succeeded- in amassing eripngh to pay for my eighty acres.— earned the last cent, I started early.one'morning,-with a knapsack of food on ; my: hack,; and my- cash in my: pocket, and taking the Indian trail, made for Cincinnati, where the land office was 'then situated.- When I got there and counted out niy moi.ey the.land agent told that one of dollars was spurious. This troubled me. T did’nt know what to do. A dollar was a mighty big sum with me, and I hadn't another cent in the world—only thoeven’money—besides I’d come'a mighty long way on foot and it seemed Imxd to hove to go home without my laud; While I stood there talkingto tho agent in came the General, who, upon finding out what the trouble was, gave me the extra dollar, and invited me to stop at North Bend, that night, ns I re-; turned home. I took him at hia word and stopped, telling Mrs. Harrison that the General had invited me to take up my lodgings there that night, ond I had not been there long before the General himself came in; he welcomed me, and I slept there that night. When 1 was about to start next morning, the General, show tng me a marc, told me that he had’nt a bridle or halter to give me, hut if I'd get the mare home I might have her., — Ho no sooner said this than I cut to the woods, stript some young paw-paw. bark, made a baiter of. it, returned and caught my mare, and went home feeling richer than a King. Prior to this I hatl no stock on my farm. Now, gentlemen, havn’t I a right to defend Gen. Harrison?” Then turning to the editor,. "And yon puppy yon, if you repeat-anything derogatory' to the character of iny-benefactor, I’ll smash every bonedn yonr body.”

Facts About Milk.

Cream cannot rise through a great depth of milk. If, therefore, milk is desired to retain its cream fora-timc, it should be put into a deep narrow dish, and if it bo desired to free it roost completely of cream it should be poured into a broad, flat dish, not much exceeding one inchin depth.— The evolution of cream is facilitated by a rise, and retarded by a depression of temperature. At the-usual temperature . of the dairy—50 degrees of Fahrenheit—all .the cream will probably rise in thirtysir hours; bat at 80 degrees it will per-haps-rise in half .lhat time; and when fhcT milk is kept near tbo freezing point, the cream will rise very slowly, because it become# solidified. In wet and cold weather, the milk is less rich than in dry and warm, and on this account more cheese is obtained in cold than in warm, though not in thundery weather. ; Tho season has its effects. The milk, in spring is supposed to be the best for drinking; hence it would be the best for calves. In summer, it is best sailed for cheese; and in autumn the batter keeping is better than that of summer; the cows less frequently milked give richer milk, and ■consequently more butter.™ Tha roormDg’s milk is richer that the last drawn milk of each at all time# and seasons, is richer than' the first drawn, which is the poorest. , ,, . • >

From which we conclude that Mr. Calhoun, who was &o orthodox Democrat in those days, entertained a very good opinion of the talents and statesmanship of Mr, Donnob-on.. When Mr. Polk, who was also a reasonably good Democrat in bis time, came into the Presidency, he expressed to Mr. Donnelso, officially, his thanks for the able and satisfactory manner in . which he had discharged the high functions committed to Mm by Mr. Calhoun, and gave him credit for the possession of the highest qualities of a statesman and a diplomatist.. But the Democracy of the present day give .but little weight to the opinions and principles of such men as Calhoun and Polk—less, at any rate than would be given, were those eminent men still living...

One sees more drunken women, especially at night, in London, than yon see elsewhere in all the earth.

What ja meant by the pro-slavery plat* form erected Tory Mr. : PiLraoRE, wo con'* fessf to ah htter inability to understand, and wa doubt very - much ‘whether the drawer himself or the endorser can folly explain it. j , We profess, to be—nay more, t« are, one'of the thousands alluded to, who in 1854voted Anti-Nebraska, and wn expect to vote so again in 1856. Bnt we'were not then an Anli-Keb\aska Know Nothing, nor did we act as such. Let us briefly explain. At the People’s Convention of the 13th. of July 1854, we were present and took an active part —being a member of the nominating committee oh that occasion. Although not then a member of the American Order, we were very well satisfied, at the time, that a majority of the committee with whom wo acted were members of this-secret organization then called Know. Nothings. : We had good reason to know that the 'State Council of the Order had been in session the day previous, and had agreed upon the | line of policy they would pnrsuo in the Poople’e Convention of the 13th. So far as we could.know who was who, we determined to watch this new movement and to follow it, so far as we could consistently with onr previously expressed opposition to the Nebraska swindle, and oureqnatly decided position in favor of a prohibitory liquor law. Wo gave the committee to understand, that if they would hive ns candidates who were all right op do these two issues, wo certainly should make no objections on account of their opposition to foreign influence and papacy. The consequence t was, that candidates were nominated oh the -State ticket, who were all .right on the Nebraska question, all right on the liquor question, and, as we afterwards ascertained, alt right on the American question. -And what is better they were all Triumphantly elected. We voted then in 1854, not as an Anti-No-* braska Know Nothing, ! bnt as a AntiNebraska -man and aifnow Nothing, having become a member ! before the election. And. we expect to vote in 1856 in the satso double capacity, without sacrificing a solitary principle or sentiment entertain-

Selection of Teachers.

The editor was not inclined to doubt the sincerity of the pioneer, and very prudently took good care to leave off bis tirade against the personal character of Gen Harrison,’

In the selection of teachers for our coniToon Schools, tho greatest care should be •observed that those most competent to till >the station should be secured,- without regard to cost, at least within the, ability of ■ihe district to pay. Five dollars' differ* <nce between the wages of competent.and an incompetent teacher, Js of very little •account.

What is such a sum /compared with the intellectual well-being •of our children? , . ; i friends to reward and ho enemies to punish," should bo the role'of condnct in school Committees,'in’the selection of teachers; and last of-all should they act uvith a view of saddling ah incompetent uelativo qpon the back of an unwilling -district. A- feeling often crisis in the Common School Board of cities, to give places to their own scolare. in preference tio outsiders. Other things being Vcpial, Hhst discrlmihaiion is not objectionable; hut it certainly is, where a more competent person is Rejected solely upon these grounds. A cosmopolitan spirit is the 4rne one m this respect; the field of competition for places should bo thrown open ■to the widest limit, and all invited to enter for the award. All desiring places os teachers cannot obtain those equal to their -abilities to fill; while at the same time, by unjust discrimination and favoritism, in--compctent persona are too often hoisted' into place, to the irremediable injury of ithe comm unity.

A locust can be heard at the distance of .one-sixteenth of * a mile. - The golden wren is said to weigh but half an ounce* so.that a. middling sized man would weigh down, not short of four thousand of;them; and ii;pujft be strange if a goldon wren would hot outweigh four of our locusts.: Supposing therefore; that a common man weighed as much as sixteen thousand of oar locusts and that the note of the loenst can he heard the sixteenth of a mile, a man of common dimensions, pretty sound in wind and limbs, ought to bo able to make himself bo heard At a distance of one thousand miles.
