What is a Fop? A Mr. Stark in a lecture before the Young Men's Association of Troy, N. x. thus defines a fop: "The fop is a com plete specimen of an outside philosopher. He is one third collar, one sixth patent leather, one fourth walking stick and the rest kid gloves and hair. As to his remote ancestry there is some doubt, but it is now pretty well settled that he is the son of a tailor's goose. He becomes ec static at the smell of new cloth. He is some what nervous, and to dream of tailors bills giv es him the night mare By his air. one would judge he had been dipped like Achilles; but it is evident that the goddess must have held him by the bead instead of the heels. Nevertheless such men are useful. If there were no tadpoles there would be no frogs. They are not so entirely to blame for being devoted to externals. Paste diamonds must have a splendid setting to make them sell. Only it does seem a waste of material, to put five dollars worth ot beaver on to nve cents worth of brains." Mr. J. Bayard Taylor of New York who is travelling in Africa, was on the 12th January at Khaatourn, the chief city of Sennar, and lo cated at the confluence of the White and Blue Nile, about half way between Cairo and the Equator.

Her e- bon royalty had feasted him and his ftiends on a sheep roasted whole and paid tnera otn er high bred civilities peculiar to the aristocra cy ofEthiopa. Mr. Taylor was undecieed whether to return to Cariro, or press forward to the eauator and sources of tbe Nile.

The question that vexed question which is setting nearly tbe whole Locofoeo party crazy, is now settled as to who shall be the Locofoeo nominee for the Presidency.

On last Wednesday evening, we were very agreeably surprised to hear, directly under our window, some most excellent music, by the Fremont Band, who had taken the occas ion to Serenade their friends in different parts of the town. This band is composed of a number ofonr most enterprising citizens, prin cipally young men, and have been associated together about two months. They are under the instruction of our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. John Sendlebach, who is a musician of more than ordinary abilities, and tha progress this band has made under his supervision, shews that he has the happy faculty of im parting instruction - to others. Their music was executed with much skill, and fully equal ed that of much older bands. With a little more practice, Fremont will have a band not surpassed in the State. Theii instruments are entirely new, and of the most approved and costly quality. The company deserve the thanks of our citizens for the energy and per severence it has evinced in this matter. It has our thanks, for tbe entertainment given us on Wednesday evening last -.. New Snperinteident. Somebody tells us that John H.
