.THE 'ANTI SLAVERY COLLEGE
The Rev. Professor Goodrich, of Yale
C jllege, declares that the members of the
Faculty of that Institution are a unit in
opposition to slavery. He takes occasion,
too, to inform the South that Yale cares
nothing for its patronage. It is evident,
from the tone empjoyed by this fanatic,
that any Southern man who sends his son
to Yale College, will be subjecting him to
influences that must infallibly render him
a Southern man with Northern principles.
Yale is now a hot bed of abolitionism, a
nursery of fanaticism. The Professors are
all attoiuton propagandists, and employ the
power which their positions confer in ma
king their pupils as throughly anti-slavery
as thenielves. - In view of this fact, will
Souieern men hereafter send their children
to Yale ? In tbevlanguage .-of -Professor
Goodrich, we say to the South, 'the sooner
you withdraw your patronage from Yale,
the better.' Richmond ( Va)' Penny Post.

MISCELLANY.
ARAB ODDITIES.
An Arab, entering a house, removes his
shoes but not his hat. He mounts his
horse upon the right side, while his wifp
milks their cows upon the left side. With
him, the point of a pin is its head, whilst
its head is made its heel. His head must
be wrapped up warm, even in summer,
while his feet may well enough go naked
in winder. Every. Article of merchandize
which is liquid he weighs, but measures
wheat, barley, find a few other-articles
He reads and writes from right to left, but
figures are read from left to right. He
cat almost nothing for breakfast; about as
much for dinner, but after the work of the
day is done, sits down to n hot meal swim
ming in oil, or, better yet, boiled butter.
His sons eat with him, but the females of
the house wait till his lordship is done.
He rides his donkey when travelling, his
wife walking behind. He laughs at the
idea of walking in the street with his wife,
or of ever vacating his seat for a woman.
He knows no rise for chairs, tables, knives,
or even spoons, unless they are woodfn
or es. Bedsteads, bureaus, and fire places
may be put in the same category. If he
be an artizan, he does his work sitting, per
haps using his toes to hold what his hands
are engaged upon. Drinks cold water
like a sponge, but never bathes in it, unless
his home be on the sea shore. Is rarely
seen drunk too seldom speaks the truth
is deficient in affection for his kindred
has little curiosity nrxT no imitation no
wish to improve his mind no desire to
surround himself with the comforts of lifr.
FIRST SPEECH
A young lawyer from the Green Moun
tain State,' writes a friend from the 'far
west' -somewhat verdant himself, very tall,
rery light hair, very light eyes, somewhat
pompous, looking exceedingly dignified, as
other aninmls-do between large etirs, came
it. to our little village with the full intent of
astonishing the natives', with his learning,
his eloqunce,. and the law ! He sjon
formed a eo-partnersbip with an old law
yer, orie Jones,-and came into court at once
with' case in hand. The first case in
which he nnd Jones were engaged, he wtis
opposed by an 'old line' Illinois lawyer, in
himself a genuine charcoal sketch ! Jones
opened the case before the Jury, and our
Vermont friend followed in a long speech
well announced, and delivered with great
accuracy and as he supposed, with aston
ishing effect It was rhetorical, lofty, in
short magniloquent: when he closed hewi
ped his brow with a fine, lavendered pocket
handkerchief, and looked about him with
the air of an orator upon whose efforts the
welfare of the world depended; and by
whose efforts he felt conscious the world
had beed saved. It was his maiden speech
in our court and everybody listened with
attention. The opposing counsel now ti
ros, very gravely, he never smiltsj and
in a tone and manner which no words can
convey, sail: 'I've knowed him a great
many years, I can foller him, but thU here
Jones" feller I aint a-goin' to try to foller.
Why, -gentlemen of the jury, there aim no
U3e in trying to' foller him. He's soared
alolt, he's burst the clouds, he's gone clear
beyond the dog-star ; clean into the third
heavens, gentlemen, nnd I put il now to
j'ou, if he has touched the blessed airth
one single time since he's been a jpeakin'
tiis pifce.' The' house came down, of
course, and the Jones feller vanished from
the room, while the counsel went on in the
same grave and almost unconscious veni
of atire,:andthen to follerin' Jones.'
.THE FOREIGN POPULATION.
By ihe census of 1850 it appears that of
the white population of the United States,
then amounting to 19,553,058, there were
born in foreign countries 2,210,535 persons,
viz: males. 1,239,434 j'female, 1,001,101.
Those ascertained to have been born" in the
United States amounted to 17,279,375, and
32,658 were reported unknow as to their
nativity It thus appears that the propor
tion of natives to? foreigners in 1850 was
nearljr.eight to one in the whole United
States. - Jt should be observed "that since
the census of '1850 was taken the foreign
population has largely increased by immi
gratkjo, amounting; to over one million in
all;, so that the number ot persons of for
eign birth'tiow'la the United - States may
be stated at about three and a half mtllions.
The proportion of Germans among the re
cent jrarnigpin W- faa beeii Very great ' t
A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
The unfortunate Allison and his wife,
who were recently killed by an infernal
machine at Cincinnati, stated in their dy
ing moments tht they suspected William
P. Connelly, of Philadelphia, to have been
their murderer. Il was soon afterwards
discovered, however, that the guilty person
is a student, known as Dr. Arrison, who
effected his escape from Cincinnati, and
has not yet been arrested. The following
paragraph, copied from Cincinnati
Gazette, disclosed the reason why the Al
lisons suspected Connelly;
'Mayor Snellbaker received a letter from
Win. P. Connelly, of Philadlphia, ex
plaining his intimacy with the Allisons,
and deeply lamenting that they should
have suspected him of sending to them the
box containing the bomb-shell. Mr. C.
confesses t::at in former years he had been
g jilt- of certain burglaries, ol which Alli
son and wife and others wre cognizant;
that when in the city a few weeks since
Allison requesied Co 'nelly to make him i
present of a watch, a-s he needed one in the
hospital. When Connelly returned to New
York he sent the watch to Allison. The
latter then addressed a letter to Connelly
requesting him to semi a present to Mrs.
Allison, which Council v neglected doing.
Connelly is of the opinion that when the
Allisons received trft bo they supposed
it to contain the prcsen'. from him to Mrs.
A., and the explosion led them to believe
I hat Connellj sent it fearing they might
inform on him, and that he took this meth
od to get clear of them."
A lady one night at a party, was much
annoyed by the impertinent remarks of a
coxcomb who sat near her. at length be
coming tired and vexed, she said. 'Be
pleased, sir, to cease your impertinence.'
The fellow was astonished at so sudden a
rebuke, and could only reply, 'Pray, Miss,
do no: eat me.' 'Be in no fear,' she repli
ed, 'I'm a Jewess.'
AS IT SHOULD BE.
Mr. Silas Horton and wife, residing near
Owego, who recently exerted themselves
so nobly in warning the train on the New
York and Erie road of the dunger before it
which was, that a large tree had fallen
directly across the track and thereby
.voi'led the horrors of a collision, have been
handsomely rewarded by the Uailroad Com
pany. The President has forwarded them
each a life ppss over the road, a med.il
from the company, and a silk dress for
Mrs. Horton, accompanying the presents
with a letter t-xpressing the gratitude of
the company for th"ir noble and humane
cond uct.

MISCELLANY.
THE SAFE SWINDLE AGAIN.
New York, July 10.
A young- man from the rural districts,
was accosted in New York on SHlurihty
by another young man, who professed to
hail from 'ihe couniry' also, they repaired
together to French's Hotel to take a drink
with the avowed intention of returning to
the Museum, and visiting it. But -the
drink' re-arrunged their programme, and
they sttrted off to visit the lirooklyn Navy
Yard. '1 heycrossed over the Williams
iurg Ferry, and when they reached the
vacant lots in East Brooklyn ihey met the
;ife man. The usual bet took place, with
i lie usual result the " younr gejillem4
was minus a gold watch, woitb V'OO-ftnd
s2j in cash. He told his tale of grief to
the pclice. but they have not succeeded in
laying violent hands upon the sharpers

SUICIDE.
Last night about 10 1-2 o'clock, as the
Fulton ferry-bout Fulton was on her way
from this City to Brooklyn, when about
ihe middle nf the river, a man came out of
the ladies cabin and rushing towards the
stern of the boat bounded over the guard
chain, head downwards into the river.
'I ho boat was immediately stopped, nnd
the hfe-boat launched, but all efforts to save
the individual proved fruitless, notwith
standing ihe night was calm and moon
light. The fetry boat and life-boats went
dewn ns far as Governor's Island the tide
going oiii at the time. They saw no signs
of the body, but it. coat, winch without
doubt, belonged to the deceased, was pick
ed up. It may be seen at the Fulton Fer
ry Office, Brooklyn. A letter was found
in one of the pockets of the coat. It was
addressed to a lady in Galway, Ireland.
He was described as a lame and well dres
sed man. Some are of the opinion llfa'
the coat recovered was an overcoat which
he carried on his arm when he jumped
overboard. The Captain of the Fulton,
however, thinks ihat he had this coat on
and must have taken it off after he got in
the water. lb

STRANGE SUICIDE.
A few daj-s ago some boatmen took out
of the Seine, at Paris, the body of tin elegantly-dressed
ami very handsome j-oung
female. There was found fastened round
her neck with a ribbon, and carefully
wrapped up in a piece of oiled cloth, the
following writing: t:I belong to a highly
respectable famil3'. I was rive years of age
when I lost my mo her, and 1 am now
twentjv Not being able to live alone, and
wishing besides, to have some one to take
care of me, my father married again, and
I had a sister. From that time my moth-er-tn
law, whom I had always found affec
tionate and kind, became by degrees a per
fect demon towards me. Vishing that her
own child should monopolize all the affec
tion of my father, she constantly represen
ted me to him as a child full of faults and
even vices. Study -became my only conso
lation. Jealous at the progress I made,
and doubtless presuming that I should one
thy eciipse her child in som talent, my
mother-in-law redoubled her persecutions :
my father, won over hy her misrepresenta
tions, withdrew his affection from me. J
pardon him as well as the woman from
whom I have suffered so much. I am
about to die. God will accept the sacri
fice I have made. It is useless to make in
quiry as to whom lam, for I reside lar frmn
Pans. I wish hy these few lines to make
known the causes of my death, in o'-der
that they may serve as a warning to fath
ers who, by a second m irriage, give a mother-in-law
to their children Snch suffer
ings as mine are not, u:, fortunately, of rare
occurrence in families.

EFFECT OF POLYfi MV UPO.V POPULATION.
' The effect upon population is decided
ly deleterious. 'I he prophet Joseph had
over forty wives at Nauvoo, and the rest
of 1 1 1 e priesthood hail various numbers,
corresponding to iheir standing anil inch
nations : and nearly all the children of
'Lose polygamous marriages died at thai
place; indeed, it is alleged by Mormons
that not one was taken to L'tali Br:g
ham Young has thirty children, of whom
eight are by his first and second lawful
wives ; the remaining twenty iwo are by
his spirituals He has about fifty wives,
some of whom were widows of Joseph
smith, and aie probably past the time of
having children ; but, supposing him to
have thirty who are capable of having is
sue which is below the true number--'.he
twenty-two children would be less than
one child to a concubine. If each of these
degraded females could have been the
honored wife of one husband, the aggre
gate number of children, according to the
usual average of four in a family, would
be one hundred and twenty, shoving a loss
in population of ninety-eight.
"The children are subject to a frightful
degree of sickness and mortality- This is
the combined result of the gross sensuali
ty of ihe parents, and want of care toward
their offspring. As a general rule, these
saintly pretenders take as little care of their
wives as of their children; and of both,
less than a careful farmer in the States
would of his cattle ; and ne wbrre out of
' Five Points" in New York city can a
more filihy, miserable, neglected-looking,
and disorderly rabble of children be found
than in the streets of Great Salt Lake City.
The Governor, again, whose attention to
his multifarious family we are bound to
suppose greater than the -average, affords
a fair illustration. He was twice lawfully
married, rand has eight legitimate children,
who are all living. He has had a large
number of children by his concubines no
one knows how many it i only known
that there are twenty-two surviving. Those
females do not reside in the " Governor's
housed so called, but in different establish
ments from one up to a dozen in a place."

Marriageable girls are quick in the Min

the Boston Daily Advertiser:
" Several leading and wealthy citizens of
Saint Paul have married Indian squaws
aboriginal ladies, perhaps 1 ought IQ say.
These matches are caused ley by romance
than by the necessity of having a wife and
the scarcity of white women. When there"

DEATH AMONG THE HOGS
About 225 hogs, being half of a drove
of 4-j0 head, died from the excessive heat
on Monday 'last, while on ihe Eastern
llrunch of the Illinois Central Railroad, be

being transported from Vermillion county
to New York, but being so closely slowed
in the cars, they suffocated from ihe heat.
The train went on to Detroit from the Junc
