The Mount Vkenon Sale. The Washington
eorresnondent of the Phikidelnhia Inuuirer savs:
1 4 ,
Mr John A. Washington has got the butt-end
j of the bargain with the ladies purchasing Mount
j Vernon. In the first place, he gets a thousand
j dollars per acre for land not intrinsically worth
twenty. One hundred dollars per acre would be
an extravagant price. All the buildings and
improvements together are not worth five thousand
dollars.
He then retains possession and occupancy of the '
i nromisroi nnti the
until tne nisi uouar oi iuc uurcuase
: money is paid, and receives interest on the amount
! unpaid all the while; so that he is to live rent free
I at the mansion; and, besides the outrageous price
of two hundred thousand dollars, gets fifty thousand
dollars more in the shape of interest. If this is not
i trafficing in the sacred dust of his ancestor, I know
not what else to cad it.
The Home, 6a., Courier says that there is at this
time a great demand for mechanics m that city. A
large number of buildings, which were destroyed
bv the late conflagration, are being rebuilt.
BANKRUPT LAW. The Washington correspon- ;
dent of the Richmond South says: "The prospect ;
is now quite certain that the proposition of a general i
Committee on the Judiciary have already prepared a ;

i i i i . . i i i -- .-.- --- - ( '
when brought under the discussion of Congress,
will be mixed with some very ingenious questions
of constitutional construction, as it is known that
some of the best legal minds in the country maintain
that the provision fora bankrupt law in the Constitu
tion contemplates traders only, and does not include
banking corporations
Interesting From Utah. A letter from
Fort Leavenworth to the New York Times gives
the statements of a gentleman of education and
ability, Mr F. Loba who has just, made his escape
from Salt Lake City, and who furnishes very dif
ferent accounts of the condition of the '-Saints"
from those which have hitherto been current.
He does not believe they will fight the United
States troops if the latter go in force sufficient to be
at all formidable. He says they have no powder,
... . i j . ..i xi
no cannon, no military stores ot any kiiiu. auu hum
all the stories of their having a large force perfectly
drilled and ready for service are all nonsense. The
whole number of their men capable of being
rjood soldiers docs not exceed i,500. He thinks
that Young will have a "special revelation," and
run away as soon as he finds that the United States
is in earnest.
Arrival of Mormons. A company of 90
Mormons most of them fro" Denmark, Sweden
and Norway arrived in N- w i oi k city on Sunday
last, in the ship John Bright. Their emigration
was projected before the news of the difficulties in
Utah had reached them, and it was their intention
at first to proceed direct to Salt Lake. When it
was ascertained that they could not readily do so,
it was decided that they should sojourn fora time
in Canada; but they have since decided not to go
thither, but to settle somewhere in the North west
until an opportunity of joining Brigham is afforded
them. They speak hopefully of the progress of
Monnoaism in the Scandinavian countries.
Xor. It has been feared that in eonsefuence of
the mildness of the past w inter, the ice crop uf the
North would fall far short of what is usual ; but
the Boston Herald estimates that double the quan
tity of ice has been cut this year, in that vicinity,
over any other former period.
Small Bonnets and Neuralgia. The new
prin" bonnets, says a lounger on Broadway,
continue to be worn of the oyst?r-sbeil pattern,
smal? and rounded at the cheeks. Eminent medical
men attribute the great increase among women, of
neuralgia, tic-dolourcux, loss of sight, and great

THE GLORY OF THE ONE IS THE COMMON PROPERTY OF THE OTHER.
GENEROUS CHILDREN.
"Lacy, did you give your little brother the
peach which I gave you for him?" said a father
to his little daughter.
"No, father, I did not," said Lucy.
"And why did you not, any child .' saiu ner
father. "I save you two peaches, a large one and
- - 7 W m -
a small one. The large one was for yourself, and
the smaller one for your brother. Were you not
satisfied ? Yours was much larger than the one I
told you to give him. I hope you have not eaten i

; brother, and 1 am pleased when I see him happy,
I did not intend to disobey you, dear father, and ,
I I hope you will not be displeased with what 1
have done." . ,

wish you had kept the larger one yourself."
Oh, no : dear father, it gave me more pleasure
to see my dear Utile brother enjoying his peach,
than if I were eating it myself."
That is true generosity," said her father. "We
are not generous when we give to others what we
don't want ourselves. To be generous is to give to
others what we do want ourselves, and can enjoy.'
'And now, my dear," said her father, as he
kissed her, "I wish you to remember how happy

you had eaten the larger peach yourself, it might

SOUND LEGAL ADVICE.
An old and respected lawyer of New York tells
the following incident in his personal experience :
Foon after I was admitted to the bar, 1 acci
dently happened in the court room during the trial
of some criminals. After being there a short
t;.i,n m.in was arraineeJ. charsred with the com
mission of the crime of horse-stealing. He plead
ed not guilty ; and the court, finding that he had
no counsel, and that he was too poor to fee one.
directed me to defend him. A jury was about to
be empannelled, when I stated to the court that I
knew nothing of the case, and desired an enterview
with my client. This was not only granted me,
but the court permitted me to withdraw from the
room with my client, and directed me to give him
the best legal advice 1 could. We retired, and
aftcr the lapse of some minutes, T returned to tho
court room and took my seat in tho bar. The
court asked me if 1 was ready. I replied that I
was. But where is your client ? said the judge.
1 replied : Your Honor advised rue to give him
the best legal advice I could, and on ascertaining
from him that he was guilty, and that the proof
was conclusive, 1 advised him to run and give the
court a wide berth ; and if he has faithfully follow
ed my advice, he is now out of your jurisdiction.
The scene that followed must have been a laugha
ble one, and such our venerable friend asserts that
it was. ' The Bench was almost paralysed with fear
and scarcely knew how to proceed, or what to do ;
while on the Countenance of every member of the
P.-.r nnrl every snoctator nresent, there was a smile
of glee. Such
but the above b
things
rarely occur
now-a-days,
a literally true story.
How to Tell a Lady's Aoe. The following
table will do it. dust hand the table to the lady
and ask her to tell you in which of its columns her
age is contained. Then add together the figures
at the top of the columns designated, and you have
the great secret. Suppose an age to be seventeen.
I You will find the number seventeen only in two
columns, viz : the first and fifth ; and the first
ot- tho head of these columns make seven-

SECRETARY COBB.
A correspondent of The New York News, says :
In a brief editorial paragraph contained in The
New York Daily Times of Friday last, entitled
'Suspected oi' being Suspicious," an unwarranta
ble allusion is made to the distinguished gentle
man above-named, after something of this fashion:
Our readers will remember that Senator Ivcrson
charged that Southern nun aud Statasmen had advinei
Calfaoan to cive the certificate of election toth?fre
State men. and it is now distiotly alleged in Southern
papers, that Secretary Cobb, Messrs Toombs, Stephens,
and Secretary Thompson were the statesmen impli
cated. This paragraph, published in a journal which

Times, find any such implication with regard to
' Gov Cobb? It has been the province ot certain
newspapers, North and South, for years to decry
j the eminent merits and abilities of this gentleman, .
j who has nobly and powerfully defended the (
"Union, one and inseparable, now and forever, as :

Whitfield did. J;r Franklin states that, on one
occasion he went to hear him, having in hifl pocket
a handful of copper, four or live silver dollars,
and four or five pistoVs la gold. At the com
mcnciineiit ul his discourse, Whitheld iuti
mated his intention of taking up a collection at
the close. The doctor, in his own mind, detcr
mind not to contribute anything; but as the orator
proceeded in his discourse, he concluded to give
the copper. Another stroke of his eloduencf de
cided him fo give the silver, and he finished up so
admirably that, when the box came around, he
turned gold, silver, and all into it.

LOSING ALL A FAMILY SCENE.
There is something exceedingly tender, os well as
instructive, in the lollowing, which wo take from
the ( ihilds y-af er :
A few days, ago, a merchant failed in businnsfl.
He went home one evening, in great agitation.-
"What is the matter?'' asked his wife. "Jam
ruined; I am beggared. 1 have lost my all!" ho
exciainied, pressing his hand upon his forehead as
if his brain were in a whirl.
'All !" said his wife; "1 am left," ' All, papa!"
said his eldest boy; "here am 1." "And 1, too,
papa,'' said his little girl, running up and putting
hes arms around his neck, "i's not lost, papa,"
repeated little Eddie "And you have your health
left;" said hie wife. "And you have your two
hands to work with, p::ia," said the eldest, "and I
can help 3'ou ab ut." "And your two feet, pupa,
to carry vou about." "And your two eyes to see
with, papa," said little Eddie.
"And you have God's, promises, said grand'
in other.
"And a good Cod." said hM wife. "And heaven
to go to" said his Kttle girl. "And Jesus who
miIia to fetch Us there." ?aid the eldest.
j "Cod forgive lac, Paid the poor merchant,
1 bursting into tears." "I hav im,L lost my all.
I What arc the few thousands which I have called
i ray all. to these more pn eioa things which ihyd
has left me V ar;d he e!apd Wii ftthily to his
bo90Ul, and he kissed his wife- end children with
a thankful heart.
Ah n , there arc many things more precious
, than poll and hank stocks, valuable as they may
be in "their place. When the Central America
, was fuunderincr at Sea, tags and purses of gold
were strewn ai,out the deok as worthless as the
