Wo cotifotsit that we have Kmjr been iiinonjTAt
lho.se who inclined to the bcliil that " thero wo*

and wo actually weep over tin- talesof Al'rirail
stlHeriiif;, but we cannot a I ford a passing
thought for the millions of white slave*, who eonmituto
the masses of our laboring population.
What are these in reality but mere animated machined??employed
only because it has not been
]iossihlc iib yet to discover oilier* to tui|>or*odc
them. As their employment h:us been the result
of necessity, nuil not of eboice, theifreut object of
the employer has been to tax the physical oiidurunee
of the employed to its lit most limits, and re

Unfortunately, the fierce competition of
trade, anil t he unusually overcrowded state of the
labor-market, combined to render this state of
things apparently inevitable.
Strikes we lui vo l?ad in abundance?combination*
of workmen against master*, and muster*
against workmen?tin- results generally being ruincKis
to the mass, mid far from profitable to the
few while a spirit of hi-stility was displayed on
both sides injurious alike to all. Fortunately,
serious strikes have recently been of riuvr occurrence
than formerly ; and when they have occurcd,
the same bitterness of feeling has not been
exhibited on either side, as was formerly the case.
Many masters have discovered that in order to
secure the willing services of their operatives, it
became their own interest to extend many indulgencies
which had forinetly been denied them:
nud all experience has shown the results to have
been not only agreeable hut profitable.
'I'll.. 1 till 1:1 III!iri im?.t iiim-silr/mi* I.... 1~.
iug lilt? hard fate of the sons of lalior, has ever
admitted ihsit nature never de.stim.-il tliettt to an
eternity of lull?that they were entitled to partake
of at least some of the bounties of creation ;
to inhale occasionally tho free sind refreshing
breezes of Heaven, t<> cool their heated brow ;
to tread the green sward; to listen to tho sengsters
of the grove, or enjoy their evening stroll
by the banks of some purling brook, or oilierwise
to taste some of the many charms of nature
hitherto denied iheni ; but then there ''was 110
time tu spare for such purposes." The struggle
for life demanded that every hour of their existence
should be spent in the vitiated atmosphere
of the factory or workshop, or in partaking of
that rest necessary to enable them to perform
their daily round of toil; and bonce, although the
hardship of their file was deplored, and its injustice
admitted, it was pronounced to be their
fate, and beyond the reach of a rational remedy.
It appears that the ivhito slave's destiny was the
result of an absolute decree of Providence?an
evil beyond the reach of human amelioration.?
We have already said thai, to a certain extent,
wo inherited this belief. A ray of hope lists,
however, broken in upon us. We It.ive juat risen
from si perusal of the proceedings of the Liverpool
Recreative Company, sit their meeting held on
Monday night sit the Concert Jlsill. A Recreative
Company : What is the meaning of that ?
we think we hear lunst of our readers exclaim.
Who ever heard of sueli a thing > say the Tom

tlx; tiling is tlu-re, ami it. will, in the hands
which have iLs direction, ultimately pi'ovc a
great fact, otherwise wc arc mistaken.
The speakers on the occasion were, ."Messrs. J.
11. JellVry, Chairman; W. Kathhone, Kcv. S.
A- Steinlhall, Mr. Samiiclsou, Kev. II. S. Urown,
I\Ir. Thomas, .Mr. 1'. II. Kuilibonc, tVc., ?fcc.?
Tlie speeches were all good, bat Mr. Jellery's
wns, indeed, a 111:1: ter piece. It was alike eloquent,
argumentative and conclusive. With such
advocates the working classes Iiavo 110 need to
fear. Mr. J cilery's .sentiments do honor alike to
the head and heart of the man who yuvc utter*
mice to them, and they will liud a rcsuoiiso in I
the miixl ol' every well-wisher of llio working
num. Mr. Jed'ery's speech lias not only dune iniiuite
cre'lil to himself, as a philanthropist and a
moral philosopher, but it li.u; conferred a dignity
oil the order to which ho belongs. Here we have
no clap-trap oratory?no appeals to the passions,
prejudices or fanaticism of class?110 electioneering
perorations uhont the "proud boast of Knglihlmien"?"the
llag that braved a thousand
years,'' &c., or ' liritous never shall ho slaves"?
phrases resorted to Ijy our popularity-hunters,
to secure " one cheer more," or another round of
the Kentish fire from their ignorant and deluded
dupes. Mr. J<-lfery tells the working men that
they arc in reality slaves, and he points out. a rational
mode of obtaining national liberty, if they
will only prove true to themselves.
Our own experience?and it has been considerable?confirms
us in hid statement, that the
moie leisure in reason you ailbrd the working
classes, the more will you wean them from habits
of inteniporuuec. But it is a libel ou the character
of a large majority of the British workmen to
nay that they are drunkards. Of late years the
amelioration in their condition has been considerable,
and their habits have improved amaziuclv.
in many large establishments n drunk art] in even
shunned by liis fellow workmen, when formerly I
a tce-tollcr would liavc been pointed at with the
finger of scorn. Wc do not Attribute this vast iinj>rovement
merely to the agency of temperance
principled. It is more the result of that steady
progress wliieh the working man has recently
been making in his material position. Take tho
majority of men iu harragau whom you may
cliancc to meet, even over their pint of beer, and
you will find that drunkenness is tho exception
uot the rule. Listen to their conversation, and
you will find that tliev read, and nrc capable of

to develop their good qualities to the fullest extern
is, more leisure and rationul recreation. The
Liverpool llecrcativo Company promise to provide
tliesu, nml in their cll'orts to do bo we with
them "Godspeed!" The jwrusal of their proceedings
has led us to tho conclusion that, after
all, there is some hope for mankind.
A Visit to Arlington.?A correspondent of
the Journal of Commcrcc has described a visit to
Arlington, the residence of the venerable Geo.
Washington I*arke Custis, the survivor of the immediate
household of Washington:
"I found him alone in his studio, where I ntn
told, lie spends most of his time. On the easel
lay ^picture of the battle of Trenton?one of his
own representations of a scene witnessed by his
own eye. Tho gleaming of arms, and tho nrray
of war seemed a lit subject for tho contemplation
of dint age whoso childhood was nurtured in the
shadow of the greatest warrior of any nation?

Nover, "since time whereof lite memory of

for lite Corn on bottom lands, but we find a

suffered none thus far from too much rain, not

A Xomlcscript.?A female, It is said, of very
peculiar characteristics, is now attracting a great
ileal of attention in London, aud it is ochevcd 1
that she ban no equal within tho whole range of
humanity. She is twenty-three years of ago, |
four feet six inches'high, nnd weighs 112 pounds. >
I!cr general aspect is startling, for iu addition to >
an extreme ugliness of feature, she is ctovered,
as to lior face and forohead, with long black hair,
und upon her cheeks, upper lip, and chin, she has
on me citurncicrisiics ol the opposite sex. The <
forehead is low, retreating, aud llcsliy, aud from
her hcud flows an abundance of straight jel black
and moderately cows? hair. The ears aro thick ,
and elohjnfted, nnd, like her face aud neck, also,
liuiry. The noee is depressed and spongy, and (
the lips thiok and projecting, like those of anc- '
gro, but the skin is of a dirty yellow. In regard
to the mouth, therp, is a distinct malformation,
the teeth being arrangod within a large overlap |
ing gum, which in front docs the work'dfilhe (
teeth. The molar teeth seem to be perfect.? .
From the chin depends a black beard of eomo
four or five inches in length, and her-jicck and f
breast, bo far as they arc exposed, are clothed ,
with' black short hair. Her eyes ore tho only
redeeming fenture; they are black, but mild and .
pleasing. The exhibitor gives positive assuraRCO ,
as to the sex, but inasmuch as the individual p$f?
takes more of a inalo than a fertile in general
expression of foature, some doubt ifl cutertaiued

ticuhit-s of tin? violent totnmlo wliU'li iium?mI oVi r
Tuwkubwy, Muss., ami neighborhood on Friday
nftarimoii:?
At nboul lmif-pn?t 5 o'rlock 1'. M., aoiuo of the
inhabitant* noticed over Hound Pond u singular
nppunrnnvo. Il I'cftainhlcd in tho opinion ofkotnc
a wilier spout; wn* at lir^t about llio nizc of n
cull wlici-i, and appeared to In; in a wliirl. As it
gathered foroo u noiso was heard like lluit of a
heavy truin of c(lrn under full headway ; it had
n variable motion, III onn limo taking a soutliwest,
anil at other* mi easterly eoiu'se. 11m path
was through the valley, with n width of about
:I3 roils, anil it a?ion assumed all tho charactoftstics
of a violent tornado, levelling and swctMjimr
uii williin Up sphere.
It. first struck itmoiig the orchard:) of Mr. Jacques
ami Mr.1. Kittredge, doing considerable
damage. Willi increased force it then struok
upon the farm of Mr. Moicy, totally destroying a
field of ryo and uprooting all his apple trees.?
At this place a iislieruiati, resident of Lynn, yho
was on his return from Imjwell, supposing tlmt a
shower was approaching, drove under a tree for
shelter. The tornado struck the team, taking
both horse and wagon into the air, landing the
liol'bo in a ditch by the Hide of the road, throwing
the man across the road and breaking the
wagon into fragment*. tSomo portions of tlie
wagon were afterwards found nearly a mile from
tiie spot, sticking up in the ground. Tho oeitpant
of the wagon was thrown across the road,
the tree under which ho sheltered being blown
down upon him, by which he wus seriously but
not fatally bruised. It next swept through the
orchard of Oliver Carter, doing great damage,
and then crossing the hill made a clean path
inrougii nn oak grove. Olio of those oaks was
afterwards found in a duck pond a quarter of a
mile distant. The larger portion of the orchard
of Mr. Caleb Livingston was demolished.
It then crossed the farm of Mr. Samuel
Thompson, tearing down his feiiees and destroying
his corn-Iield, orchard, ctc. It next, struck
the house and barn of Mr. Jno. Clarlc. The
bam was completely demolished, and the roof
and the back part of the house carried away.?
There were nine persons in the bouse at the time,
but. they were fortunately in the lower looms,
and all thus escaped injury. The houseless family
wore afterwards cared for by the inhabitants.
The toriiadu then crossed the river and louk oil'
the comer of the bain of Mr. Ilcjamiit 13urt, destroying
the sheds between the house and barn.-.
At this place the force of tin: wind was such thrtt
an ox-team was taken from tho ground and
broken into pices. Of olio wheel not a spoke
was left. Coniinn ing in it* course it crossed the
track of the Jlo.ston and Maine Hailroad, uprooting
trees, and was last heard from upon tho
farm of Mr. Union, of Wilniiiirrinii i.l....... :i
Hindu a path in tin: woods, hut gradually diminished
in violence, which Was noticeable from tlio
fuel that instead of )>iilliaii^ ?i|? a tre? l?y IhcTooU',
only the tops were fakeii oil! As it passed the
railroad track a spiked plank at a crossing was
torn up and carried a considerable distance*. Of
course, the inhabitants were in a slalo of great
alarm at this unusual visitation.
It is entirely owing to the fact that its path
was through the valley that there was not more
more serious injury, nearly all the houses being
l-'Cuted upon the elevated ground. Some state
tli.it the liivt they noticed of the matter was the
branches and oveii whole trees wheeling in the
air. Others imagined it to Ik- a Ore in the air-?
One family, under this supposition! threw u )>ail ,
of water upon the lire in the cooking bIovo and
tied to the cellar for safety. One trco of considerable
size was seen in the air at an estimated
height of eighty feet, and the trunk of a largo
tree which was uprooted has not yelWen found.
Some of the fragments of the house of Mr.'Clark
were earrii'it IV.r n I.-is-* * 1

A Mun ii for a Woman?Antc-Jforlcm
Ji'xniiihiufioH?>Sunm time ago, it will lie remembered,
a singular c:is<: came uj> in tho Richmond,
Ya-i Courts, in which a youngtaau named Lipscomb
sneil another young man named Tlios. Linton
for breach of promise.
Linton, it seems, was of such remarkably feminine
appearance thai lus friends easily persuaded
Lipsconih thai lie was a female in disguise, and Ro
enamored did ho becoino of Linton as to ask and
receive a promise of marriage, which of course,
the latter was unubln lo fulfill. Ihit on attempting
to explain why he could nut "come to tiino"lhc
fond "lover" wouldn't helieve a word of it? and
lull in belief that his enamorata was a woman,
and nothing shorterhe sued for breach of promise.
The case created 110 little excitement in .Richmond.
An examination by five experienced physicians
was ordered by tho court, so that thorp
should be 110 possibility of mistake, and they re-'"
ported that Linton was undoubtedly a man ^

Linton lias recently arrived in Ibis cily, and
such was liis wouinuixh appearance (lint b'unpicion
\vu8 created as to hissfj), and the Guards
were tihoul to arrest liini, and would havo done
so bul for the interference of a person who kiic\y
the young man. Lust night, Linton again got
into trouble, through fulling into the haYids.of a
pnrty of young men who believed hfni to be
sailing under false colors, and were about U>
have un examination to test the matter. A
gentleman cognizant of iho history of Linton"
happened to be present,- and upon his representation
Linton was set free.? Washington Star.

was lately a guest at a wedding in Lexington,
Ky., where ho met the lion. John Breckinridge,
Vice-President of the United Htntes. lie thus
describes his person, manners and domestic,

"John C. Breckinridge, Vicc-PresidcUfc. o{
the United States, was one of the guests of the
wodding. The rough portraits. him that
stared everybodj' in the face last fall} give but a
poor likeness of this extraordinary inriu, who,
at a youthful psried of life unexampled, has
been called to prcxido over the most august, body
of men iu this country. Ilis form is talf, croct
and commanding; liiscoiuituuce thoughtful ; hj? '
man nerd smooth and graceful, and his cofaveraft-*
lion*'-indicates n sober, intelligent mul thinking
man. Willi a lovety ami accomplished wife totd
sweet children, he resides in a modest cottage,
but one story high, shaded deeply with ohl trees,
a little way out of town. I could not. but ndiniro
the simplicity of our republican instiutions,
when I saw that this great people have conic to
Ibis embowered cotlo jind a Mmi to preside over
its Slate, and perhaps to fill its chair of

Slavery in Oregon?Tho. New York Thnrs,
under tho head of tho late advices received from
Oregon, l?y way of the steamer Winoin, says
that "the people of Oregon, having determined
to conic into the Union as a State, an cfl<>rt is being
made to engraft in IhcCbitKtitulioii, a provision
to recognize slavery. Messrs. llull ifcCSillis have
issued a prospectus for a now Democratic paper
to advocate this policy, to he published in Henton
county." If this ruport ho well founded, all
we liavo to say i>>, that the effort would be n very
desirable one. It is not likely that the territory
would ever receive a large immigration of !<lave
population, hut then it would ho but iu accordance

'Where will they ;/rl IfusfionJs'i?It. appears,
by Jlie last census, that the excess of tVmules
over males in the Slate of Massachusetts is 31,020.
This excess is partly accounted for hy tlio
tendency among the sous of tlio 15;>y Slate to emigrate
to other parts of tho country, and by the
result of native ami foreign females, to tlm facto
ries. In I.owcll alone, tho excess of females over
males is 8,oss. One thing is certain: Massachusetts
cannot furnish husbands for its marriageable
female population, and Lowell, especially,
wo should think would be. au excellent place for
bachelors who wish to get mated, lot fourteen
