I will not tax you by carrying you along farther with me; the distance I have taken you embraces the most important places in Palestine, although Nazareth, Sea of Galilee, Tyre and Sidon, and surrounding objects are from their associations, of great interest, and all of these I have visited-none have been of more to interest me than Tyre; if the proph→ et himself had been entrusted with the fulfilment of his prophecy he could scarcely have rendered it more complete.

I came here with very erroneous impressions of er the fertility and beauty of Palestine-either as it regards its agricultural resources, or its scenery; Pand I must say after traversing its entire length, that its mountains are rocky and barren beyond any ing I have ever seen, which with the valleys seem forto be blighted by a higher than human power, and capable under any state of cultivation of but scanty production, and the exceptions to this are very rare over all the country I have passed.

Brigham Young.

liar character of this apostolic leader of 0s was never so definitely and racily as in a late speech that he made to his had, on the 18th of February, delivdress to them, or rather had a written d by "brother Bullock," and then folby a long, strange, rambling discourse pies several columns of the closely prin

ted New York Herald. He commences by saying that he always allows himself the greatest liberty in speaking, for he says "spoken words are but wind, and when they are spoken, are gone; consequently I take liberties in speaking which I do not allow when I commit my sentiments to writing." We give a few extracts from this long speech which will exhibit the character of this sovereign of the American desert, better than we can portray it.

"So far as morality goes, in many instances I have no complaints to make. Thousands and millions of people live according to the best light they have, but the Holy Priesthood is not on the earth unless the Latter Day Saints have it. It is the Priesthood again given to the children of men, shall I say it out? (Yes.) That raises the devil, and makes all hell angry; and the servants of the devil will run to and fro, and publish his lies about Christ and and his church on the earth. They are not angry with me or with you; and the professors of Christianity, the priests are not angry with us, but they are filled with wrath and indignation with themselves, and with the Almighty. Why are they angry? Because they are men, and like other men. If a man sees his house about to fall, if he sees something or other continually gnawing, and gnawing, and picking, and operating upon the foundation, and discovers that by and by the house must fall, perhaps when he is asleep or when he is gone from home, and destroy his women and children, he is all the time worried, and in a stew; all the time watching with a fearful looking for the time when it will crumble to pieces. This is the difficulty with the professing Christian world. Is it so with the infidel? No, he does not care anything about the matter; but those sweet, loving, blessed Christians, the priest in the pulpit, and the deacon under it, and and the sage followers of their own nonsense and traditions of their fathers, are the ones who are at war with the eternal priesthood of God."

Corrupt men cannot walk these streets with impunity, and if that is alienism to the government, amen to it. The constitution of the United States, we sustain all the day long, and it will sustain and shield us, while the men who say we are aliens, and cry out "Mormon disturbance," will go to hell.There have been officers here who were not fit to live in our midst, and they ran home and raised the cry, Mormon disturbance,' Mormon rebellion,' 'Mormon war,' and 'treasoners;' but their day is over."

"The newspapers are teeming with statements that I said, 'President Pierce and all hell could not remove me from office.' I will tell you what I did say, and what I now say; the Lord reigns and rules in the armies of the heavens and does his pleasure among the inhabitants of the earth. He sets up a kingdom here, and pulls down another there, at his pleasure. He walks in the midst of the people and they know it not. He makes Kings, Presidents and Governors, at his pleasure; hence I conclude that I shall be Governor of Utah Territory, just as long as he wants me to be; and for that time, neither the President of the United States, nor any other power can prevent it. Then brethren and sisters, be not worried about my being dismissed from office: for when the President appoints another man to be Governor of Utah Territory, you may acknowledge that the Lord has done it, for we should acknowledge his hand in all things."

"The relation between us and the government may be likened to a man having twelve sons, and all the elder sons pitch upon the younger one, as Joseph's brethren of old did upon him. They persecuted him, and lied to their father about him, and tried to alienate the feelings of the old man from him, and succeeded in a measure in estranging the feelings of the father from the young child. So it is with the general government and us. We have pleaded time and time again, and will plead, saying, 'Spare us, love us; we mean to be one of the best boys you have got; be kind to us, and if you chasten us, it may be said that we have kissed the rod and reverenced the hand that gave it, and tried again: but be merciful to us, for do you not see that we are a

dutiful child?' But no, Tom, Bill, Dick, Harry, and the rest of the boys are eternally running to the old man with lies in their mouths, and he will chastise little Joseph. And though the old fellow has not come out in open war upon him, and arrayed the force and arms of the Government to kill the boy, yet he sleeps in his chair, and dreams it over, and talks in his sleep, saying, 'Go it, boys; go it, boys-we will not say anything here.' And Tom, Bill, Dick, &c., commence pounding on to little Joseph; and the old man is dozing in his chair, saying, 'Go it, boys.'What will become of this little Joseph? I will tell you. We are a child of the government, one of the youngest children, and we cling to our parent, and desire to be reckoned in the family, and to hail our brethren as brethren, and be numbered among them either in a Territorial or State capacity. What next? The cry is raised by the older boys that 'it never will do to admit this younger child into the Union; he is an alien. and we must exclude him.' I will tell you what that will amount to; they will pound and abuse little Joseph until his affections are entirely weaned from his parent, and from his brethren, and he becomes an independent boy. Who will cause this? The Mormons ?" *

If the gallant gentleman who is now in our midst had received the commission of Governor of this Territory, as was reported and had accepted it, I would have taken off my hat and honored the appointment: and this people would have been just as passive and submissive to him as ever they could be to me. That I will warrant and vouch for. If they wish to send a Governor here, and he is a gentleman, like the one I have referred to, every heart would say, 'Thank God, we have a man to stand at our head in a gubernatorial capacity; a man who has got a good heart, and is willing that we should enjoy the federal rights of the constitution as well as himself.' I am with all such men, heart and hand. But for a man to come here and infringe upon my individual rights and privileges, and upon those of my brethren, will never meet my sanction, and I will scourge such an one until he leave; Í am after him. But I will say, to the praise of the gallant gentleman referred to, if there was a going to be a gentleman called upon to be our Governor, there is not a man out of the kingdom of God, that I would listen to sooner, and feel more confidence and cordiality towards, than to him. I wish this meed of praise could be awarded to every officer in the government, but it cannot. We have some of the most corrupt, damnable, mean curses here that ever disgraced the earth; some who even wish to carry the holy sanctuary in one hand, and a jug full of whiskey in the other, and have a saint trail behind them to hold up their garments to prevent their drabbling."

We cannot multiply extracts. Sufficient is given to show the shrewd character of the man, and the danger of the formation of an independent government in Utah.

Miscellaneous.

Encouraging to Tea and Coffee Drinkers. The Journal of Commerce has a long editorial commendatory of the use of tea, coffee, chicory and cocoa. Prof. Johnston is quoted as saying that more than seven hundred millions of the human race—or about three-fifths of the entire population of the globe-have come to regard one or the other of the warm beverages made from these articles as among the necessaries of life, and that they are in fact among the most useful and most harmless forms of indulgence. The quantity of the raw material consumed in the world is perfectly enormous; estimated at three thousand millions of pounds! of which, more than two thirds of the whole-or twenty-two hundred and forty millions of pounds-is tea.

"The medicinal properties of these beverages are well known. Tea is used advantageously in inflammatory diseases and as a cure for headache. Coffee is supposed to act as a preventive of gravel and

76

gout, and to its influence is ascribed the rarity of those diseases in France and Turkey. Both tea and coffee powerfully counteract the effects of opium and intoxicating liquors; though when taken in excess, and without nourishing food, they themselves produce, temporarily at least, some of the more disagreeable consequences of ardent spirits. In general, however, none but persons possessing great mobility of their nervous system, or enfeebled and effeminate constitutions, are injuriously affected by the moderate use of tea and coffee in connection with food. Prof. Johnston attributes to coffee the quality of stimulating the digestive organs, and to tea that of retarding their operation. Dr. Bigelow, in his work entitled "Nature in Disease," recently published in Boston, assigns to both the same effect -that of producing an increased action of the stomach in the process of digestion.

The properties and effects of coffee and tea are in most respects similar. They exhilarate and produce wakefulness; they stimulate the brain and soothe the body; they retard the waste of the animal system, which is in constant progress, and which it is the office of food to repair. In those who labor much with the head, they produce a condition of the system favorable for mental application; and in all, they tend to counteract the sluggishness which prompts to shrink from difficulties, and to infuse the spirit which impels to encounter and overcome them. They increase the enjoyment of life, while they make no sacrifice of its duration. On the contrary, in the old and infirm, whose powers of digestion begin to fail, they doubtless operate to prolong it, by retarding the natural waste of the bodily substance."

Joseph Maddox, Killingworth, 1854.

Wm. H. Kibbe, Somers, 1854.

As to the professional men in the House, there is a much less number of

than usual.

LAWYERS,

Richard D. Hubbard, Hartford, was State Attorney about eight years, under both democratic and whig Judges, and gave general satisfaction. He is a talented, upright man, and will make a useful member.

J.O. Phelps, Simsbury, has been Judge of County Court, and will make himself conspicuous.

Alfred Blackman, New Haven, Clerk of the U. S. Court, is a man of talent and tact, and will probably take the lead of the democracy in the House.

Wm. E. Downs, Derby, will be a prominent member of the American party.

Nathan C. Peters, Naugatuck.

Edmund Perkins, Norwich, is an eminent lawyer, a man of energy and progress, and will not fail to make an impression, if he is not the leader of his party. He will be troublesome to conservatives.

John D. Park, Norwich, is Judge of the County Court. He was whig candidate for the Senate in 1853. He is regarded as a sound, judicious man. Elihu Spencer, Middletown, was many years Clerk of the Courts of Middlesex County. He was a democrat; but will be prominent in the American party, and will make a useful business member.

Julius L. Strong, Bolton, has an office in Hartford.

PHYSICIANS.

Lucius Woodruff, New Britain.

L. L. Dickinson, Botanic, Colchester.

Chester Hunt, Windham.

John H. Simmons, Ashford.

Joseph P. Root, New Hartford.

H. M. Knight, Salisbury.

John W. Bidwell, Winchester.

Joseph Maddox, Killingworth, was last year the embodiment of opposition to every progressive

movement.

CLERGYMEN.

Asa M. Train, Milford, commenced his political career in 1850, and has since continued a member of the General Assembly, as Senator or Representative.

There may be others.

Of other prominent men we may name the following. Some others now unknown in public life, will doubtless render themselves conspicuous.

His

Austin Baldwin, Middletown, a manufacturer, and Whig candidate for Congress in 1853. opinions will have weight with considerate men: and his candor will make him a popular Speaker. E. D. Tiffany, Hartford, an intelligent mechanicprinter. The south school house in Hartford-a model for the State-is evidence of his zeal and energy in the cause of popular education. He can speak for the right when occasion requires.

Nelson Roberts, Torrington, is a man of strong common sense, and an able speaker.

J. E. English, New Haven, is a merchant of high standing, and will be a useful member of any important committee.

Mr. Brooks of Meriden, Mr. Clark of Waterbury, Mr. Booth of Bridgeport, and Mr. Brown of Ledyard, may be named as likely to have influence.

New Haven Palladium.

A COMPLIMENT TO THE LADIES.-Walter Savage Landor, now residing at Bath, England, in his 81st year, became acquainted with Lady Blessington at Florence, in 1825. In Madden's Life and Correspondence of that lady, just published, we find several letters of Landor's. We make the following extract from one of them. He writes to Lady B.: "Cannot you teach those about you to write somewhat more purely? I am very fastidious. Three days ago, I was obliged to correct a friend of mine, a man of fashion, who so far forgot the graces, as to say of a lady, 'I have not often been in her compaay.' 'Say presence;' we are in the company of men, in the presence of angels and of women.'

A Few of the Beauties of Romanism.

The religion and humanity of Romanism are marvelous. Some of its beauties, as set forth by its own organs, will be found below. Read and see how you like them:

For our own part, we take this opportunity of
expressing our hearty delight at the suppression of
This may be

thought intolerant, but when, we ask, did we ever
profess to be tolerant of Protestantism, or to favor
the doctrine that Protestantism ought to be tolera-
ted? On the contrary, we hate Protestantism—we
detest it with our whole heart and soul, and we
pray our aversion to it may never decrease. We
hold it meet, that in the Eternal City no worship
repugnant to God should be tolerated, and we are
sincerely glad the enemies of the truth are no lon-
ger allowed to meet together in the capital of the
Christian world.-Pittsburg Catholic Visitor, 1848.

No good government can exist without religion-
and there can be no religion without an inquisition,
which is wisely designed for the promotion and
protection of true faith.-Boston Pilot.

You ask if he (the Pope) were lord in the land, and you were in a minority, if not in numbers, yet in power, what would he do to you? That, we say, would depend entirely upon circumstances. If it would benefit the cause of Catholicism, he would tolerate you; if expedient he would imprison you, banish you, fine you-possibly he might even hang you-but, be assured of one thing; he would never tolerate you for the sake of the "glorious principles" of civil and religious liberty.-Rambler.

Protestantism of every form has not, and never can have, any rights where Catholicity is triumphant.-Brownson's Quarterly Review.

Let us dare to assert the truth in the face of the lying world, and instead of pleading for our church at the bar of the State, summon the State itself to plead at the bar of the church, its divinely constituted Judge.-Ibid.

I never think of publishing anything in regard to the church, without submitting my articles to the bishop for inspection, approval and endorsement.-Ib.

I declare my most unequivocal submission to the head of the church, and to the hierarchy in its different orders. If the Bishops make a declaration on this bill, I never would be heard speaking against it, but would submit at once, unequivocally to that decision. They have only to decide, and they also close my mouth; they have only to determine and I obey. I wish it to be understood that such is the duty of the Catholics.-Daniel O'Connell.

Heresy and unbelief are crimes; and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes.-R. C. Archbishop of St. Louis.

A heretic, examined and convicted by the church, used to be delivered over to the secular power, and punished with death. Nothing has ever appeared to us more necessary. More than 100,000 perished in consequence of the heresy of Wickliffe; a still greater number for that of John Huss; and it would not be possible to calculate the bloodshed caused by Luther; and it is not yet over.

As for myself, what I regret, I frankly confess is, that they did not also burn Luther. This happened because there was not found some prince sufficiently politic to stir up a crusade against the Protestants.-Paris Univers.

The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings. in defense of liberty of conscience, is a most pestilential error-a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a State. Encyclical Letter of Pope Pius IX., August 15, 1855.

Protestantism of every kind, Catholicity inserts in her catalogue of mortal sins; she endures it when and where she.must; but she hates it, and directs all energies to effect its destruction.-St. Louis Shepard of the Valley.

You should do all in your power to carry out the intentions of His Holiness the Pope. Where you

have the electoral franchise, give your votes to
none but those who will assist you in so holy a
struggle.-Daniel O'Connell.

Asking Directions.

Hotel ?" inquired

"Can you direct me to the a gentleman with a carpet-bag, of a burly Hibernian, standing on the steps of the railroad station. Faith," was the reply, "it's jist I that can do that same. You see you jist go up that strate till you come to Thaddy O'Mulligan's shop. Then "But I don't know where Thaddy O'Mulligan's shop, as you call it, is."

"O faith, why didn't I think of that. Well, then your honor must kape on till ye get to the apple woman's stand, on the corner of the brick church it is, and kape that on the right, and go on till ye get to the sign of the big watch, and mind you don't fall down the cellar thereway, then you kape on a little further till ye come to a big tree, and after that you turn to the right or left, but by the bones of St. Patrick, I don't know which."

The traveller turned in despair to a long, lank Jonathan, who was standing whittling, close by, and made the same inquiry of him.

Maybe you're going to put up there?" queried Jonathan.

Well, 'Squire," said the Yankee coolly, "I'd like to oblige you, but the truth is, I have never been in the town before myself."

In less than a minute, a carpet bag with a man attached was seen hurrying away from that vicinity. He didn't find asking directions of any particular advantage.

HOW TO GET THE REAL FLAVOR OF COFFEE.-In Kingston's "Forest Life in Ceylon," are the following hints on the preparation of coffee, derived from long experience. The subtle aroma which resides in the essential oil of the coffee berry, is gradually dissipated after roasting, and of couse still more after being ground. In order to enjoy the full flavor in perfection, the berry should pass at once from the roasting pan to the mill, and thence to the cof and again after having been made, should fee pot; be mixed at a boiling heat with hot milk. It must be bad coffee, indeed, which, if these precautions be taken, will not afford an agreeable and exhilarating drink. Two great evils are constantly perpetrated in England, in its preparation, which are more guarded against in all other countries, and which materially impair its flavor and strengthkeeping the coffee a considerable time after roasting and grinding, by which its strength is considerably diminished, and mixing the milk wish it after la has been allowed partially to cool.

LINT.-Through the testimony given before Mr.. Roebuck's investigating committee, much information of a startling character has been obtained going to show the grossest negligence, stupidity and carelessness, among those in command, particularly in the commissariat department. Here is one instance, from the London Times:

For wo months, all Europe was crying shame on the want of lint to dress the wounds of thousands of British soldiers lying at Scutari, and scarce a household in this country but was busily employed in supplying the want. It now appears that the lint was there all the time, only some brutal official thought it less trouble to say nothing about it than to give it out to the hospitals.

Stay Where you Are.

In the West we have met with persons possessed of a mania for clearing land. As long as their farms afford unlimited opportunities for chopping down huge trees and burning up huge logs, they work away with the ardor of passion; but the moment they have made their farms tillable and their houses inhabitable, they take no further interest in them whatever, and are eager to sell out and plunge deeper into the woods to ply again the axe and the brand. Thus the country is cleared rapidly; but the blood of the people is fevered, and the passion for change continues after the good done by it has been accomplished.

The necessity for a rapid clearing of land has ceased. We have cleared faster than we have appropriated. The Eastern and Middle States present an expanse, almost unbroken, of half-cultivated land, dotted with unattractive homes. A large number-probably a majority-of those who occupy those homes are, at least, willing, if they are mot desirous, to sell their farms and try their fortune in a newer region. They know that the burden of life is heavy to be borne where they are; they hope it will be lighter somewhere else. They forget that the life of no honest man is easy. They omit from their calculations all the unseen and spiritual advantages of a permanent residence. They overlook the fact that the real nutriment of a tree or a man flows in from the minute tendrils of the root, scarcely visible to the eye, which a removal rudely tears away. They have neglected to make their homes charming, by planting the ornamental shrub, the shading tree, the beautiful flower. They have not enlisted in their corps of cooperators the next-to-omnipotent aid of Science, nor bound themselves to the fields they till by the interest of varied, intelligent Experiment. They do not know that new lands, though they give a large increase, yet draw large tribute from the men who go to live upon them. The forest and the prairie do not yield without a struggle, nor without imparting some of their wildness to their conquerors. It is a game of Give and Take between civilized man and wild nature.

To most men, over twenty-five years of age, who have a footing upon their native soil, we believe the advice is good. Stay where you are, and determine to stay as long as life lasts! Persevering toil, guided by a thinking head and ennobled by a worthy purpose, will reduce the mortgage by degrees, and beautify the old home, and fertilize the sterile field, and drain the too fertile marsh, and convert stones into stone-fence, and make the farm the pride of the township and the delight of its owner. Stay where you are, and try it! There are those who should remove-the young, the strong, the uncapitaled, the one-too-many in a family, But, if possible, such should remove but once,seeking not a stopping-place out a permanent home, in which, and around which,, all that is best in their natures may gather and cen

.re.

Would that we could whisper it convincingly into he ears of nine-tenths of our restless, roving fellowcitizens, Stay where you are!-Life Illustrated.

THE TROY SEMINARY FOR SALE.-The proposal o sell this female institution has drawn out an able and earnest remonstrance from the distinguished >rincipal, Mrs. Emma Willard. She says:

"The indirect proposal to sell the Troy Seminary, trikes me much as it would if it should be revealed o me, that when I am dead and buried, there hould come up in the Times and the Whig, a sugestion whether it would not be best to dig up my ones and sell them-they being Trojan earth, and apable of being turned into a goodly quantity of hosphorus and lime, articles which fetch money n the market. Indeed, if one of the two objects vere actually to be carried out, I would infinitely refer it should be the latter. To sell my bones, would be but to sell my death; whereas to sell the eminary, would be to sell my life and that of my hildren."

CHARCOAL FOR FLOWERS. It is an ascertained ct that powdered charcoal, placed around rose ushes and other flowers, has the effect of adding reatly to the richness of the flower.

A Fearful Tragedy.

The London Times lays before its readers the particulars of a horrible affair which recently occurred near the Dutch settlement of Transvaal, at the Cape of Good Hope, and which, we think, can only be paralleled in atrocity among the achievements of modern times by the exploit of Marshal St. Arnaud in Algiers, when he smoked and burned to death thousands of his barbarian opponents who had sought refuge in a deep and spacious cave. In the case of the Cape of Good Hope, the Caffre Indians had murdered, in October last, under circumstances of great barbarity, ten or twelve men and women of the Dutch settlement.

Immediately General Pretorius raised an army of five hundred men, and accompanied by Commander General Potgieter, proceeded on an expedition to revenge the blood of their victims. After an absence of several weeks they reached some remarkable subterranean caverns, half a mile in length, and from three to five hundred feet in width, where the Caffres had entrenched themselves.

Upon his arrival at this spot, General Pretorius attempted to blast the rocks above the caverns, and thus crush the savages beneath the ruins. The peculiar character of the stone, however, rendered this scheme impracticable, and he then stationed his men around the mouth of the caves, and built up walls in front of them. After a few days, many of the women and children were driven by hunger and thirst from their hiding places, and were allowed to escape; but every man who came forth was shot dead with their rifles.

On the 7th of November, at the close of a siege of three weeks, the besiegers, seeing no signs of life, entered the caverns, and the silence within, together with the horrible odor arising from the bodies of the dead, told how effectually their object had been accomplished. More than 900 Caffres had been shot down at the mouths of the caverns, and a much greater number had perished by slow degrees, suffering all the horrors of starvation in the gloomy recesses within.

Very.

Did you ever know a more well-worn word than this, in your life? And yet it holds its own wonderfully. It keeps together its five constituents, as though they were "all oak."

But like an old quarter, it doesn't pass for as much as it used to do; the pillars are worn off; so there goes twenty per cent in a twinkling.

Of old Roman origin, it once meant real and true; now it means nothing of the sort, and to two "base uses, has it come at last." And the first is, for chinking, and the second, as the name of a greet passion-a powerful weakness.

[ocr errors]

A man abuses you through three mortal pages of foolscap, and concludes with a very respectfully," just as though he was the Damon to your Pythias. Another writes something that will alienate a friend, or wound a heart, or blight a hope, and puts the finishing touch to his abomination with a "very sincerely" or a very faithfully." Perhaps a writer has no heart at all, and wouldn't risk the value of a brass button upon your temporal salvation; and he is sure to be "yours very cordially.". Not satisfied with assuring you that he has a heart-he must have a heart very—that is, that curious organ "to a degree."

One meets you that has not set eyes on you for five years, nor thought of you in sixty calendar months. He is not only glad to see you--that will not do at all—he is "very glad;" has thought of you, not often, but "very often;" hopes to meet you, not soon, but "very soon," and so you parthe with his verys, and you with yours, for ten to one you do the same thing by the very next man you meet.

It is never rainy but it is very rainy. Is she beautiful? Very. And he noble? Very. And so, this devoted word is reduced to a paltry chinking -employed, like Cæsar's dust, to "patch a wall.'

Then again "very" christens a passion. The ruling rage of the time is "very." Everything must be very very something-intensified, aggravated, very. If a man is ill, ho gets no sympathy, unless there is a very in the case; nothing short of being

very ill, will answer at all. If a man is very rich, he is respected; when very rich, envied and admired; but it is only your VERY rich man that is positively adored.

And so it goes-everybody on the qui vive for a very.-Chicago Journal.

ELEGANT REPROOF.-Lord Lelly celebrated in the last age for his love of music, was not only witty in himself, but the cause of wit in others.-Mr. Ba Scotch Advocate, a man of considerable humor, accompanied by a formality of manners, happened to be one of a convivial party when his lordship was at the head of the table; after dinner he was asked to sing, but he absolutely refused to comply with the pressing solicitations of the company; at length Lord K. told him he should not escape -he must either sing a song, tell a story, or drink a bumper. Mr. B being an abstemious man, chose rather to tell a story, than incur the forfeit. "One day," said he in his pompous manner, "a thief. in the course of his rounds saw the door of a church invitingly open; he walked in thinking that even there he might lay hold of something useful; having secured the pulpit cloth, he was retreating when, lo he found the door shut. After some consideration, he adopted the only means of escape left, namely, to let himself down by the bell rope; the bell of course rang; the people were alarmed, and the thief was taken just as he reached the ground. When they were dragging him away, he looked up, and emphatically addressed the bell, as I now address your Lordship. Had it not been,' said he, 'for your long tongue and empty head, I had made my escape.'

A WORD OR TWO ABOUT NEWSPAPERS.-Rev. Abel Stevens, the editor of the National Magazine! an issue which stands nearly in the first place among the periodicals of our country, says in his "table," speaking of the independence of the true editor:

"We do not, in our editorials, hold ourselves responsible to the personal views of any individual patron. For ourselves, personally, we would not subscribe a sixpence to a periodical which should hold itself bound 10 re-edit only received views, or to bring to us from month to month, such opinions only as are admitted by common consent, or are a repetition—a rehash-of our own individual thinkings. We prefer something independent-something provocative of new and progressive thought-even if it challenge, sometimes, our dissent. This is one of the prime rules of good editing, and he that don't like it had better clear our track as soon as possible."

The perfume of flowers may be gathered, according to the Scientific American, in a very simple manner, and without apparatus. Gather the flowers with as little stalk as possible, and place them in a jar, three parts full of olive or almond oil. After being in the oil twenty-four hours, put them into a coarse cloth, and squeeze the oil from them. This process with fresh flowers, is to be repeated according to the strength of perfume desired. The oil being thus thoroughly perfumed with the volatile principle of the flowers, is to be mixed with an equal quantity of pure rectified spirit, and shaken every day for a fortnight, when it may be poured off, ready for use. As the season for sweet scented blossoms is just approaching, this method may be practically tested, and without any great trouble or expense. It would add to the cultivation of flowers.

A CURIOUS QUESSION OF REAL OR PERSONAL ESTATE. The sculptor, Thom, celebrated for his groups of Tam O'Shanter and Old Mortality, purchased a farm in Rockland county, which he mortgaged, and then built upon it a house, and erected a colossal statue, cut from red sand-stone, which he placed on a pedestal between the house and the gateway. The mortgage was foreclosed, and the question was raised whether the statue passed with the real property. It was decided by the Court of Appeals that it did.

The man who was lately struck with a new thought, has concluded to overlook the act, it be ing the first time, and there is little danger of a repetition of the act.

The Largest Diamond ever Found in North
America.

We were shown yesterday, on board of the steamship Jamestown, what is said to be the largest diamond ever discovered in North America. It is about the size of a large hazel nut, of great brilliancy, and is quite smooth. In the centre of it, however, are several small black specks. It was found several months ago by a laboring man named Benjamin Moore, at Manchester, Virginia, in some earth which he was digging up.

The diamond was put in a furnace for melting iron, at Richmond, where it remained in a red heat for two hours and twenty minutes. It was then taken out and found to be uninjured and brighter than ever. It was valued in Richmond at four thousand dollars. The finder of the prize is a poor man with a family.

Mr. Emanuel Matthews has charge of it to sell for the benefit of Mr. Moore. Yesterday it was weighed and inspected by Ball, Black & Co., and other jewelers in Broadway. The weight of it is 231 carats. Several jewelers in this city have desired to purchase the diamond, but they want the agent first to fix his price for it.-N. Y. Eve. Post.

A HUNGRY CARPET BAG.-The Buffalo Express relates an amusing incident which occurred at Erie a few days since. A gentleman left Cleveland for New York at an early hour in the morning, withont his breakfast, and being very hungry upon the arrival of the train at Erie, entered the dining room, and placing his carpet bag upon a chair, sat down beside it and commenced a valorous attack upon the viands placed before him. By and by the proprietor of the establishment came around to collect fares, and upon reaching our friend, cjaculated, "Dollar, sir "" "A dollar!" responded the cating man, "a dollar! thought you only charged fifty cents a meal for one-eh?" "That's true," said Meanness, "but I count your carpet bag one, since it occupies a seat." (The table was far from being crowded.) Our friend expostulated, but the landlord insisted, and the dollar was reluctantly brought forth. The landlord passed on. Our friend deliberately arose and opening his carpet bag, full in its wide mouth, discoursed unto it, saying, "Carpet bag, it seems you're an individual-a human individual, since you eat;"-upon which he seized everything eatable within his reach, auts, raisins, apples, cakes, pies, and amid the roars of the bystanders, the delight of his brother passengers, and discomfiture of the landlord, phlegmatically went and took his seat in the cars. He said he had provisions enough to last him to New York, after a bountiful supply had been served out in the cars. There was at least $8 worth in the bag-upon which the landlord realized nothing in the way of profit. So much for meanness.

FISH AS FOOD.-There is much nourishment in fish, little less than in butcher's meat, weight for weight; and in effect it may be more nourishing, considering how, from its softer fibre, fish is more easily digested. Moreover, there is, I find in fish -a substance which does not exist in the flesh of land animals, viz., iodine-a substance which may have a beneficial effect on the health, and tend to prevent the production of scrofulous and tubercular disease, the latter in the form of pulmonary consumption, one of the most cruel and fatal with which civilized society, and the highly educated and refined are afflicted.-Comparative trials prove that in the majority of fish the proportion of solid Batter that is, the matter which remains after perfect desiccation, or the expulsion of the aqueous part-is little inferior to that of the several kinds of batcher's meat, game or poultry. And, if we give our attention to classes of people-classed as to quality of food they principally subsist on--we find hat the ichthyophagous class are especially strong, tealthy and prolific. In no class than that of fishers do we see larger families, handsomer women or Lore robust and active men, or a greater exemption from the maladies just alluded to.-Dr. Davy's Lagler and his Friend.

ABOUT KISSES.-The fair editress of a western paper takes the following decided ground in favor of this almost discarded institution:

"Kisses are the acknowledged institution. It is as natural for 'folks' to like them as it is for water to run down hill, except when it is so cold that it freezes and can't run at all. Some are as hot as coal fire, some sweet as honey, some mild as milk, some tasteless as long drawn soda. Stolen kisses are said to have more nutmeg and cream than any other sort. As to proposed kisses, they are not liked at all. We have made it our business to enquire among our friends, and they agree with us that a stolen kiss is the most agreeable-that is, if the theft is made by the right person. Talk of shyness and struggling-no wonder! When some bipeds approach, it is miraculous that ladies do not go into convulsions. We do not speak altogether from experience, but from what we have heard others say. We have been kissed a few times, and, as we are not very old, we hope to receive many more."

INSULT AND REBUKE.-A Mormon Elder was invited to officiate as chaplain of the California Legislature at the opening of a morning session. The Reverend Mr. Shuck, Baptist, of Sacramento, had been invited to officiate in the same capacity, whose feelings are expressed in the following note which he addressed to the Legislature: "I am now precluded from accepting the invitation you have extended from the fact of the Assembly having, by a large vote of yesterday, acknowledged the Christianity of that daring imposture of systematized licentiousness called Mormonism. And with it or its 'elders' I can have no religious affinity, sympathy, fraternity or intercourse. I claim for myself, individually, no superiority in righteousness over other men; but, as a Christian minister, I do claim for Christianity a superiority over every religious system on the face of this whole earth; and as to Mormonism itself, I regard it as dishonor to the one living and true God, a libel upon Christianity, a disgrace to the philosophy of human progress, and a bold insult to the intelligence of the nineteenth century."-Presbyterian.

THE SULTAN. The severe etiquette of the Sultans, which has already received some rude shocks since the commencement of the present war, is destined, it seems, to experience one still more startling. Abdul-Medjid (says a letter published in the Gazette du Midi) has made up his mind to offer his arm to the Empress of the French when she arrives before the palace of Balta Liman! to present her to the first Sultaness (there are seven who bear this title, and who take rank according to the order of the birth of their children) whose face will be unveiled! Four young ladies, chosen from the best Armenian families, and speaking the French and Turkish languages, will also be placed at the disposition of the Empress as interpreters and ladies of honor. Magnificent presents, among them a side-saddle adorned with precious stones, will also be offered by the Sultan to the acceptance of her Imperial Majesty.

SOMETHING THE MATTER WITH SENECA LAKE.— The Geneva Gazette of Saturday says: "Our citizens for two days past have been considerably interested, and some of them a great deal excited, in reference to a strange, and thus far inexplicable phenomenon, that has occurred in the waters of Seneca Lake. During the whole of Wednesday and yesterday, the water would rise and fall, in spaces of time varying from ten minutes to half an hour, continuously through those days, from five inches to two feet in height. Just after sundown on Wednesday evening, a friend of ours made an exact measurement of the fall and time. In fifteen minutes the water fell 16 inches, when it commenced rising again."

"Friend, it is very wrong to swear as you do. Why do you do it?"

"Because," replied the prisoner, "I've understood that a man may swear out of jail in thirty days, and I want to see if it can't be done in fifteen. I am going to sit up all night and do my worst."

A FORMAL INTRODUCTION.-An eccentric genius who delivered lectures in the Hoosier state to the general acceptance of the public, was in the habit of taking his wife along, when making his grand rounds. Sometimes she took a seat on the stand, and encouraged him by her presence. On such oceasions before commencing his lecture, the male member of the firm invariably introduced his partner to the assembly. Taking her by the hand, he gracefully led her to the foot-lights, then waiving his hand towards the people and looking the lady in the face, said, "Mrs. Jones-Audience." Then facing the assemblage, with a gesture indicating that it was necessary to identify the lady introduced, he added, "Audience-Mrs. Jones !" This duty accomplished, he proceeded according to the programme.--Dayton (Ohio) Journal.

ELIZA WHARTON.-A touching tribute to the memory of Eliza Wharton occurred at Danvers lately, during the session of the American Institute. Her grave, marked by the old mutilated freestone monument, was visited by the members, and each one as he turned away picked up a fragment of the stone and placed it in his pocket to preserve as a memorial of that frail but beautiful object for whose fate so many tears have been shed. As they look upon the memorials they carried from the grave, they must give special thanks to the generous Mr. Annable, who went away to Salem to procure freestone chips enough to supply the demand, and scattered them round the spot. Post.

DYING IN A FOREIGN LAND.-A letter from Rome states that Major Brown, formerly Superintendent of the New York and Erie Railroad, is in Naples.For the last five years he has held an appointment under the Emperor of Russia as superintendent of the imperial railways. Hearing, says the writer, that he had recently arrived in pursuit of health, I called to see him, and found him greatly reduced by a chronic pulmonary disease, his physicians have abandoned all hope of his recovery. He was surrounded by several members of his family, and enjoying the most assiduous care and attention, but it stirs up all the sensibilities of one's heart to see even those who are bound to us only by the ties of common country sinking under disease in a distant land.

HOW SHALL I PRESERVE THE HEART I HAVE WON? -Endeavor to make your husband's habitation alluring and delightful to him. Make it a rep ose from his cares, a shelter from the world, a home for his heart. Invariably adorn yourself with delicacy and modesty. Let your husband suppose you think him a good husband, and it will be a strong stimulus to his being so. Cultivate cheerfulness and good humor. In the article of dress, study your husband's taste. Conceal his faults, and speak only of his virtues. Shun extravagance. Let your home be your empire, your world. In its sober, quiet scenes, let your heart cast its anchor, let your feelings and pursuits be centered.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says in relation to the destruction of ants: 'We give you a sure remedy. Procure a large sponge, wash it well, and press it very dry-by so doing it will leave the small cells open; lay it on a shelf where they are most troublesome, sprinkle some fine white sugar on the sponge (lightly over it,) two or three times a day; take a bucket of hot water to where the sponge is, carefully drop the sponge in the scalding water, and you will slay them by thous ands, and soon rid the house of these troublesome insects. When you squeeze the sponge, you will be astonished at the number that had gone into the cells.
