A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, Writing from the Cumberland river, gives the following humorous ac- count of a colloquy With a philosophic darkey : I noticed upon tho hurricane deck to- day an elderly darkey with a very philo- sophical and retrospective cast of count- enance, squatted upon his bundle toasting his shins against the chimney, and ap- parently plunged into a state of pro- found meditation. Finding upon inquiry that he belonged tothe Ninth Illinois, one of the most gallantly behaved and heavy losing regiments at the Fort Donel- uon battle,.and part of which was aboard, I began to interrogate him upon the subject. His philosophy was so much in the Falstaffian vein that I will give bis views iu his own words, as near as my memory serves me : " Were you in the fight?" " Had a little taste of it, sa." '' Stood your ground, did you ? " " No, sa, I runs." " Run at the first fire, did you ? " " Yes,— sa, aud would hab run soona, had I know'd it war coming." " Why, that wasn't very creditable to your com age." '' Dat isn't in my line, sa—-cookin's my perfeshun." " Well, but have you no regard for your reputation ?" " Reputation's nuffiio to me by the side ob life." " Do yew consider your life worth more than other people's?" " It's wuth more to me, sa." " Then you must value it very highly?" " Yes, sa, I does—more dan all dis world—more dan a million ob dollars, sa, for what would that be wuth to a man with the bref out of him? Self-preser- bashum am de fust law wid me." "But why should you act upon a diff- erent rule from other men ? " " JJecause different men set different values upon dur lives—mice is not in the market." " But if you lost it, you would have the satisfaction of knowing that you died for your country." " What satisfaction would dat be to me when de power of feelin' was gone?" " Then patriotism and honor are noth- ing to you ? " " Nuffin, whatever, sa^—I regard dem as amoDg de vanities." " If our soldiers were like you, trait- ors might have broken up the government without resistance." " Yes, sa, dar would hab been no help for it. I wouldn't put my life in de scale 'ginst no gobernment dat eber ex- isted, for no gobernraeqt could replace de loss to me." " Do you think any of your company would have missed you if you had been killed ? " " May be not, sa—a dead white man aint much to dese sogera, let alone a dead nigga—but I'd a missed myself, and dat wus de pint wid me." [t is safe to say that the dusky form of that Afrioan will never darken the field of carnage. Sayings—by Josh Billings. The hanker for ofis iz the very strong- est pashun ov the humin harte. You will see men die with a good grape, but they giv up ofis, az they do a duble tooth, only bi aid ov the forsepps. They don't bore for ile in the southern kuntry, they bore for whiskee, and hav the best luck near the graveyards. It aint best tuw be certain ov enny thjng in this life, not even the meazels, until yu hav had them the second time. Most men learn e^perieope from the futre. Praise makes the sensitiff soul afrade, and censure makes it weep. It iz really strange howlittle mekan- ikal genius sum men hav, (iamsumwhat offliketed that way mieell,) they kan look at a man turning a grindstun, and kant tell for the life ov them, what makes the blasted thing revolye. I dont know ov menny things, that fills me with such curris emoshuns, (em- oshuns that i bant heal aiiself ov) az tew see two incersent lovers, on an express train, at the rate ov 40 miles an hour, smellin ov each others breth—tig tew much for mi human natur tew stand, without takjn mi chanse at the breth. JG3E" Truth is considerably oracked up as a virtue, and yet we tnow of nothing that would sooner make a nuisance of a man. Speak the truih ot every one you meet, and where would Correspondence of Harper's Weekly. The New Style of Dressing. The fast season has begun in good earnest, and I hasten to inform you of a new and heroic development of patriot ism. The frightful coat of all materia for fine dresses has filled many ladies o the highest nobility with a spirit of no ble renunciation, There is nothing they will not gladly sacrifice, and they are there fore firmly resolved to dispense with dross altogether I have recently at tended several parties of the selectee, fashion, and with every young man in town, have pbserved with the most kind ling admiration that what you wil} per mit me to call the heroic -movement is al ready rapidly advuijciug. It b .gins al the top of the dress, and the m.o*t un flinching of the fair patriots have already reached a point in thesacrifice far be- low the neck. The delightful emulation continues, so that by the opening of next season we may confidently expect to nee perfect heroism. Of course, as dress disappears, a re- fined and elegant substitute is provided. The neck, for instance, is draped in the most exquisite enamel; the cheeks are protected by the rosiest rouge, and lest the exposure of the eyebrows and eye- lids should be injurious to health, they are clothed iu the softest henna. This simple costume is surely enough for those who are ready for the last sacrifice. What sublime economy 1 What sublime renunciation ! The farther it goes the more indescribable it is. I wish you would come and see for yourself. We never think of not going to parties now when there is so much to be seen ; and what do we not owe to ladies who thus surrender everything! A queer ojd prig towhom I was dilating with enthu- siasm upon the subject, replied, ' Yes, I havj seen a great deal in my time, but this gives me an entirely new viewcf woman." Of course it does. Is it not clear that every one who is capable of ta- king part in this great movement is capa- ble of anything ? I know that you are interested in everything which shows devotion to the country, and although you were a little skeptical about the Woman's League, to use only domestic manufactures, because you thought there was some evasion about it, 1 am sure you will hear with astonishment and gratitude of this truly brave economy, which conceals nothing. All for our couutry or dress well last, is thejinspiring rallying cry of the lovely patriots. Good-bye I must be off to dress for the ball, which the ladies used to do be- fore the patriotic days Yes dress is just the difference between us now. How much trouble they save themselves !

In the mud gutter about STEWART T3E MERCHANT MILLION- AIRE.—He has many partners, but they are only partners in profit. He is the sole master of all that is bought and sold. He knows every article that oomes in or goes out of the store. No bundle leaves without a check. He se ected a shawl one day for his wife, and, neglecting to check, it could not leave the building. No merchant in New York works as many hours or gives such individual attention to his business.—r His rooms are ic his down town store, He comes down early, takes his dinner at 5 o'clock, returns and remains at his work till late at night. He is as diffi- cult to approach as the grand lama. Go to the store, and you are met at the door by a courteous gentleman, once an affluent merchant, who kept hid own es ablishment. To your question if Mr. Stewart is in? a response comes, "Wh.at is your business ?'' "I want to see Mr. Stewart ?" "You can't gee him unless I know what you want, sir." It is pri- vate you say. "Mr Stewart has no pri- vate business." If your statement is satisfactory, you are allowed to pass up stair?. Here you aro met by another bland but portly gentleman, once a judge of one of our courts, now the con- fidential business agent and companion of Mr. Stewart, to whom he devotes all his time. Hesubjects you to a series of cross examinations as vigorous as if you were on a stand in court. He keeps you from Stewart if he can. If he can't when your turn comes, he ushers you into a little box ten by twenty, where sits the autocrat of the New York merchants. He receives you with a blank countenance and a cold eye. His voice is suppressed, his face inanimate, and his air impatient. You hurry through your business, and need a strong temptation to induce you to run the gauntlet the second time. £3» "Why don't you present your- self as a candidate for congress ? aBked a lady of her husband, who wag ( con- fined to the house with the rheuma- tism. <; Why should I, my dear ?" he in- quired, "I have no qualifications for the station." "I think you have," responded the wife, "your language and actions are truly parliamentary. When bills are presented, you either order them to be laid on the table, or you make a mo- tion to rise ; though often out of order, you are still supported by the ohair; and you often poke your nose into tneasurea which are calculated to des- troy the constitution." £3£ Well, George," asked a friend of a young lawyer, who had been ad- mitted about a year, " how do you like your new profession?" The reply was aocompanied by a brief sigh to suit the occasion—" My profession js much bet- ter than my practice,' 1 A Letter From Mr. Cobdeo- The subjoined letter has been ad- dressed by Mr. Cobden to the Ameri- can Minister at Copenhagen : MIPHUUST, Feb. 5, 1865. " I congratulate you on the course which events havo taken in your country during the last few months. It seems to me that there are uumistakeable signs of exhaustion in thoConfederacy, and it. would not be rash to prpdict now that the famous ' ninety days' will witnes-" very decisivo evetitB in the progress of the war, JefT. Davis rules in Richmond, but the Union armies control hia do- mains. I hold a theory that in these times, when armies require vast appli- ances of mechanical resources, and when they are eomuch larger than in olden days, it is impossible to carry on war without the bise of large cities. If tho seaports be taken, Lee obliged to evacu- ate Richmond, there will not be a town left in the Confederacy with twenty thousand white inhabitants. It w' 11 b-j impossible to maintain permanently large armies in the interior of the slavu states, amid scattered plantations and unpaved vjllagoa. '• You canriut, in euch circumstances, concentrate tho means of subsistence, or furnish the necessary equipment for an army. I expect, therefore, to eee the loss of the large towns lead to a disper- sion of the Southern armies. I have sometimes speculated on what course Lee will take if obliged to abandoDthe position at Richmond. I have my doubts whether he will continue the struggle beyond the borders of his native Slate. However, all these are speculations, wljich a few months will dispose of. I pray Heaven we may soon see the termination of this terrible war. " I observe what you say about Con- federate agents having found encourage- ment in Europe. I can easily believe this. If the South caves in, there will be a fierce resentment felt by the lead- ers towards those potentates or ministers in Europe who have deluded them to their ruin, and I should not be surprised if we were to hear some secrets disclosed, in consequence, of an interesting kind Democracy has discovered how very few friends it has in Europe among the ruling class. It has at the same time discovered its own strength, and what is more, thjs has also been discovered by the aristocracies and absolutisms of the Old World. So that I think you are more safe thau ever against the risk of intervention from this side of the Atlantic Besides, you must not for- get that the working class uf England, who will not always be without direct political power, have, in spite of their sufferings, and tho attempt to mislead them, adhered nobly to the cause of civ- ilization and freedom. " You will have a task sufficient to employ all your energios at home to bring your finances into order. There is a dreadful waut of capacity at your head in questions of political economy— u seem now to be in the same state of ignorance as that from which w6 began to emerge 40 years ago. The labors of Huskisson, Peel and Gladstone seem neyer to have been heard of by Messrs. & Co. Depend on it, that, as there is noroyal road to learning, so there is no republican path to pros- perity. You must follow the beaten track of experience. Debt is debt, whether on the East or West of tho At- lantic, and it can be paid only by pru dence and economy, and a wise distribu- tion of its burdens. * * * "Youre, very truly, •' R, COBDEN. 'Hon. B. R. WOOD." I be fpcMgan ANN AUJiOli FEIDAY MORNING. MARCH 31.1865. OFFICIAL 3U OF THE CI£T. J53 correspondent of the Albiny Journal, writing from Alabama, gives an account of the plunder of a plantation on which negroes, (eftto themselves by the owner, had raised a crop and were living comfortably, says : I was hardly ever more taken back by an answer than by an old negress on this place, " Well, granny;" I said, "you never expected tolive to see times like these, did you ?" I referred of course to "the dav of ubilee." But the old negress was not at all icntimental. " No ipassa," she said, taking a black corn-cob pipe from her mouth, and epit- ;ing quite deliberately into the wood fire on the hearth. "No, massa, I neber did expeot to see the Yankees come and rob we niggers die a-way." AN ENGLISH CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS. There is a famous prescription in use jn England for the cure of drunkenness, by which thousands are said to have been assisted in recovering themselves, The recipe came into notoriety through the efforts of John Vine Hall, commander of the Great JEastern steamship. He had fallen into such habitual drunkenness that his most earnest efforts to reclaim himself proved unavailing. At length he fought the advice of an eminent physician, who gave him a prescription which he followed faithfully for seven months, and at the end of that timehad ost all desire for liquor, although he iad been for many years led captive by a most debasing appetite. The recipe, which he afterwards published, and by .vhich so many other drunkards havo been assisted toreform, is as follows :-r- Sulphate of iron, five gFains; mngnesia, ten grains; peppermint water, eleven drachms ; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm; twice a day. Tbia preparation acts like a tonic and stimulant; and so partially supplies the place of the accustomed "iquoi, and prevents that absolute phys- cal and moral prostration that follows a sudden breaking oft from the use of stimulating drink?. Foreign Curr^pondpoo* ul tlif Argus. PARIS-PAST AND PRESENT- PARIS, Feb. 16th, 1805. Many and continued are the impres- sions which crowd upon tho mind of tlie voyager us he hastens from one city to another of the old world. Every foot of earth seems historic. Now ho leaves a place where originated some political reform ; an h.>ur afterwards ho enters a town celebrated for some religious revo lutions; anon, he is walking the streets made illustrious by one of those names which bum in history like stars in heav- en. But in few places are, these im- pressions more profound than iu the capital of France—busy, infidel, revolu- tionary, pleasure-loving Paris. Did not Roman Emperors reside hore ? Did not Clovis aud Charlemagne, here give laws ? Have-not the long list of French royalty made this their home ? Here Descartea and Pascal delved into science; here Bossuet and Fenelon preached be- fore kings; here Moliere and Racine poetized ; from here went forth the ar- mies of Conde and Napoleon ; here Vol- taire and Rousseau inaugurated modern incordulity; here Robespierre and Marat established civil revolution. Have there not gone forth from here influences to change the scientific, the literary, the religious, and tho political world ?— •H/ive there not walked these streets giant reformers of oldopinions or heroio de- fenders of old principles ? I enter the Sorbonne, aud the literary revolutions of France press themselves upon ri}y mind. I stand before the' tombs of the Pan- theon, and her religious revolutions are recalled. I pass the old Tower, and ber civil revolutions aro present to the memory. It is not alone Lavoisier with his oxygen, nor Napoleon with his Em- pire, nor Robespierre with his republie, nor Voltaire with his I-don't-believu philosophy that have made Paris illus- trious ; but it is this combination of philosophy, of science, of art, of great events, vfh.ipb, has made its history grand. Thus Puris—Laving ever beon a sort of battle-ground, it is the center of souvenris both agreeable and sorrowful. I often stand before the Tower of St. Jacques, and I think of the time when Pascal ascended it to establish his dis- covery of the decrease of atmospheric pressure. There is a souvenir for the scientific glory of France. I visit oc- casionally tho tomb of Napoleon, and I think of the man that governed Europe for a while. Thero is a souvenir for the military glory of France. I asosnd Mont-martre, sad I seem to ace Xavier anji bis comrades swearing before the stars to advance the kingdom of Christ. There is a souvenir for the religious glory of France. But also I pass by almost each day tho Tower of St. Ger- main l'Auxerrois, and my thoughts has ten back to that gad night when its belj tolled forth the massacre of St. Bajthe- lemy. I stand often upon the spot where once stood the Bastillo, and I think of the men whom tyranny here oonfined.— I walk too over the Place de la Concor- de, and I remember that maddened mob that thirsted for the blood of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. These are darker souvenirs. Paris can not efface these marks of blood that deface her history. Thus she saems the center of all that is high and elevating in human thought and aption, as well as all that is low and debasing. What Paris has been in the past she is to day—one of those great hearts, whose beatings are felt afur, aud whose life-currents are driven across a conti- nent. It is here to day, that are clash- ing those opinions whidi will overturn or establish more firmly the habitual ssnti- ments of man. Here Napoleon says the Empire is peace ; " while Jules Favre defends the immortal principles of '89. Here llenan ainis a blow at the foundation of the Christian religion, while Guizot displays its beauties. Hero Laboulaye Would change the epicurean manners apd supplant them by some- thing more puritanic, whi'e Mahbille op- pogea him with liis nocturnnl carnivals and his elysiam of sensual pleasures.— Thus far tho false philosophy seems to have gained the ascendency. Paris is despotic, infidel, sensual. The liberty of speech is denied her citizens, the liberty of sin is perfect, But i:j her bad influence felt else where? Will she be thecorrupted tree that will spread her brupyh.es afar, scat- tering the seeds of a morality hating ma- terialism ? Aud, above all, will her in fluences penetrate across (be Atlantic anvl corrupt American society which f.om here seems so pure ? Alas! I know that Europe is none the tetter for her to-day ; and as for America I often wish that three oceans instead of one rolled between her and the old world 1 For I have seen a young American leave home with moral character, with pure thoughts, with religious faith; I have seen him drawn Hlmosb involuntarily into the temptations o( this modern Babylon; I have seen him return with ruined char- acter, corrupted thoughts, and unbelief. Is this a solitary example ? I fear not. That it might be I That every Ameri- can who comes hither might bring with him the .principles of his fathers, that ho might ciing to his puritanical oduca- tion, that ho might preserve intact his moraljcharacter, and then as far as he is concerned, America would be in the fu ture, aa it has been in the past, the hope of the world. F. W. B. Income Returns for 1864- The income returns for 1864 are made under a different law from that of 1863, and are phanged in many im- portant particulars. As the time with- in which they must be made is rapidly approaching, it will bo of interest to pqte the most important of tl)e changes For instance, where a family consisting of husband, wife and children, or of husband and wife only, receives separ- ate incomes upon account of each mem- ber, or of some of them, six hundred dollars only are to be deducted from the aggregate incomes of all the mem- bers, 'ine deduction of dividends upon the stock of corporations, and interest upon their bonds and debts nre still to be allowed. Also tho rent of the home- stead of a family, and where it is not rented, but occupied by the owner, a fair rental value is also to be deducted. All national, State and local taxes paid, except the income tax, are to be allowed. The amount paid for hired labor in carrying on a business, rents of places of business, money paid for repairs not exceeding the average of the preceding five years, and money paid for interest on inoumbrances on real os'ate miy be deduetod. But new buildings, perma- nent improvements and betterments are not to be deducted. Advertisements are only exempted tp the extent of six hundred dollars, and a newspaper not having a circulation of two thousand copies is wholly exempt. The objects tobe counted as income are also extended. Income from inter- est upon notes, bonds and other securi- ties of the United Spates ia to be return ed, Profits u.pon gales of real estate purchased within the year are to be counted as income, and losses upon the same description of property bought within the same period aro to be deduct- ed. Interest money due upon notes, bonds and mortgages, or other forms of indebtedness, if good and collectable is to be included as a part of the inoome. Gains upon purchases and sales of stocks or other property, real or per- sonal, the increased value of live stock sold or on hand, and thevalue of agri- cultural and farmers' productions of an estate, unsold, but on hand on tho 31st of December of the year to bo accounted for, areto be estimated and placed in the returns as ao much income. Also, the gains and profits of companies, in- corporated or not, which ha re not paid a tax upon dividends, shall be returned, whether dividends or not. A deduction of six hundred dollars is allowed in all cases. The rate of the duty ia inoreased also. Between $600 and $o,000 the tax is five per cent., between $5,000 and $10,000, seven and a half per cent.; over $10j000, ten per cent. A man, there- fore, who has an income of $50,000 will pay on the five per cent, rate, 8220, on the seven and a half per cent, rate 8375; on the ten per gent, rate $4,000—total, $4,595. The old rates were three per cent, on all amounts over $600, and the special war tax of five per cent, ad- vanced that taxation for 186S upim an inoome of £50,000 to 83,9")2. Our re- turns of the income for 18G4, which must soon be made out, will increase our hardens considerably, and wo may as well get ready to present them when they iiru deminded bythe United States officers.—L><iiroit Tribune.

Where a short ono will do, you always loso by using a luug cne.— You lose in clearness, you logo in honest expros^ing of your meaning; and, in tho estimation of all men who are competent to judge, 3'ou loso in reputation for abi'- ity. The only true way to rhino, even in this false world, is to be modest and unassuming. Falsehood may be a very thick crust, bat in the course, of timo truth will find a place to bri'ftk through. Elegance of language niay not bo in the power of all of us, but niiaplioity and straightforwanlnestj nro. Write as you would speak; speak as you think. If with your infeiior, speak no coarser than usual; if your superior, speak uojiuur. B,ut what you say, and within the rules ot prudence, say what you are. Avoid all oddity nf express- ion. No fine was ever a gainer by sin- gularity of word. 1 -', IT in pronunciation. Tbe truly wiso will sospwk that none will observe h°W he rpMfca. A man may chow great k'.inwleil^n of chemicals by carrying nbi">ut> hlarliWfl °f strancro to breathe, but he will enjoy l,et ter health, and find more time for iness, who lives on common air. When I hear a person use a queer ex- pression, or pronounce a name in reading differently from his neighbor, the habit always goes down, miuus sign, before it stands on the side of deficit, not of credit, Avoid, likewise, all slang. It is only fit (when innocent, which it seldom ii) f jr raw school boys and one term fresh? meu toastonish their sisters with. Talk as sensible meu talk, use the easiest words in their commonest meaning. Let the sense conveyed, not the vehicle in which it is conveyed, beyour subject of attention, Once more, avoid in csnversation all singularity of accuracy. One of tho bores of sooiety is the 'jove who i# nl- ways setting you right; who, when you report from the paper that 10,000 men fell in some buttle, tell you that it wa« 9,996; who, when you describe your walk as two miles out and back, assure y'U that it lacked half a furlong of it. Truth does not consist in minute acgu- racy of detail, but in.conveying a right impression ; and thero are many vague ways of speaking that are truer than strict fact would be. When the Psalm- ist said "rivers of water run down my eyes because men keep not tly law," ho did not statf* the fact, but he stated a truth deeper than, faet and also truer. Dean Alfred. Recent Astronomical Discoveries. A very complete investigation of the sun's photospere 1ms been made. The discovery which Mr. Nasmyth announ- ced in 186"2, that the z<ine of light clouds which surround the nucleus ot tho s'in is composed of large portions ot matter shaped like willow leaves, each being some twenty thousand miles long, and crossing one another iu every conceivable direction, has been demons strated, and, with certain modifications, accepted. Most persons nre aware that recent discoveries havo detected an error iq the calculations of the older astrono* [tiers] It has been shown that we ar« at least 4,000,000 miles nearer to the sun than has been heretofore believed. Bearing upon this is a statement which, has been made to the effect that the supposed distance of the moon from the eurth is also incorrect. Prom ft labori- ous examination of lunar observatione, made simultaneously at the Cape of Good Hope and various European ob- servatories, Mr- Hugh Breem has found that we are really nearer the moon than has been c.omputed. The difference be- tween the two sets of figures shows us that our satellite is twenty-six miles closer to us than was previously imagine ed. Perhaps the most important discovery, and that which will moat prominently mark the past year in the history of as* tronomical progress, is that which vu announced to the Royal Sooiety by Messrs. Huggins and Miller, Thin dis- covery upsets all the doctrines to whioh astronomers have pinned their faith dur» ing the present century. Every one ia familiar with tho term Nehulcr, an ex- pressiou employed to designate certain misty masses of matter from which light is emitted, and which can only bo ex- amined with the aid of the most power* ful telescopes. These bodies, which apr pear as shapeless clouds of light at im- mense distances from the earth, have been of late years studied and observ«4 by all classes of astronomers ; and, mor« recently, they have been regarded as be- ing pimply huge clusters of fixed stars, which on account of their enormous dis- tance from us, appear blended together into a confused mass. W T atchful ob- servers concluded as we have said ; and it has been for years the delight of as- tronomers to •' resolve," as the terra in, these nebulas. Since, however, thank* to the researches of Funsen and Kirch- off, a new system of chemical analysis, by moana of which we can tell from the light, which a body emits what is the nature of its composition, and since this method has been put in practice in the case of the sun and fixed stars, showing in them a constitution closely resem- bling that of our earth, Messrs. Hug- gins and nt'iller determined to put the light of t'no neh^ce to a similar teat.-m The spectrum analysis of the nebular light has been accnirplishod, and, wot}; derful to tell, it has revealod the pres- ence of only one or two elements, and these are gas^s. Hence, the conclusion is inevitable thaf the nebv.hr, are m.os,J probably enormous masses of luminous gases or vapor. This important con- clusion, which is ono uf the most remarka- ble that ha§ beer, for i\ long time arriv- ed al, brings astronomers back, in somo degree, to t.hp peculiar views of Lap- lare, as expressed in his '' Nebular Hy- pothesis." >t*-wr*» &2<£' A candidate for ofrun calk at the residence uf a guntleinun to solicit his vote : Candidate—"Madam,, is your hus- hand about?" tm L.ndy— "Ye?, sir : ho has gone to haul a dead dog away HB.d ho will back directly."

WHEN I MEAN TO MARRY.

BY JOHN O. SAXE.

When do I mean to marry *•—Well—"1'is.idle to dispute with fate ;

But if you choose to hear me tell,Pray listen while I fix the date;—

When daughters haste, with eager feet,A mother's daily toil to share;

Can make the pudding •which they eat,And mend the stockings which they wear.

When maidens look upon a manAs if himself they would marry,

And not as anny-soldiers scanA sutler or a commissary.

When gentle ladies who have gotThe ofter of a lover's hand,

Consent to share his " ean.hly lot,"And do not mean his lot of land.

Whan young mechanics are allowedTo find and wed the farmer's girls

Who don't expect to be endowedVi ith rubies, diamonds and pearls ;

When wives, in short, shall freely giveTheir hearts and hands to aid their spouses

And live as they were wont to liveWithin their hires' one-story hpuses;

Then madam,—if I'm not too old,—Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,

I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold;And look about me for a wife !

A Philosophic Darkey.A correspondent of the Cincinnati

Gazette, Writing from the Cumberlandriver, gives the following humorous ac-count of a colloquy With a philosophicdarkey :

I noticed upon tho hurricane deck to-day an elderly darkey with a very philo-sophical and retrospective cast of count-enance, squatted upon his bundle toastinghis shins against the chimney, and ap-parently plunged into a state of pro-found meditation. Finding upon inquirythat he belonged to the Ninth Illinois,one of the most gallantly behaved andheavy losing regiments at the Fort Donel-uon battle,.and part of which was aboard,I began to interrogate him upon thesubject. His philosophy was so muchin the Falstaffian vein that I will givebis views iu his own words, as near asmy memory serves me :

" Were you in the fight?"" Had a little taste of it, sa."'' Stood your ground, did you ? "" No, sa, I runs."" Run at the first fire, did you ? "" Yes,— sa, aud would hab run soona,

had I know'd it war coming."" Why, that wasn't very creditable to

your com age."'' Dat isn't in my line, sa—-cookin's

my perfeshun."" Well, but have you no regard for

your reputation ? "" Reputation's nuffiio to me by the

side ob life."" Do yew consider your life worth

more than other people's?"" It 's wuth more to me, sa."" Then you must value it very highly?"" Yes, sa, I does—more dan all dis

world—more dan a million ob dollars, sa,for what would that be wuth to a manwith the bref out of him ? Self-preser-bashum am de fust law wid me."

"But why should you act upon a diff-erent rule from other men ? "

" JJecause different men set differentvalues upon dur lives—mice is not inthe market."

" But if you lost it, you would havethe satisfaction of knowing that you diedfor your country."

" What satisfaction would dat be tome when de power of feelin' was gone?"

" Then patriotism and honor are noth-ing to you ? "

" Nuffin, whatever, sa^—I regard demas amoDg de vanities."

" If our soldiers were like you, trait-ors might have broken up the governmentwithout resistance."

" Yes, sa, dar would hab been no helpfor it. I wouldn't put my life in descale 'ginst no gobernment dat eber ex-isted, for no gobernraeqt could replacede loss to me."

" Do you think any of your companywould have missed you if you had beenkilled ? "

" May be not, sa—a dead white manaint much to dese sogera, let alone a deadnigga—but I'd a missed myself, and datwus de pint wid me."

[t is safe to say that the dusky formof that Afrioan will never darken thefield of carnage.

Correspondence of Harper's Weekly.

The New Style of Dressing.The fast season has begun in good

earnest, and I hasten to inform you of anew and heroic development of patriotism. The frightful coat of all materiafor fine dresses has filled many ladies othe highest nobility with a spirit of noble renunciation, There is nothing theywill not gladly sacrifice, and they are therefore firmly resolved to dispense withdross altogether I have recently attended several parties of the selectee,fashion, and with every young man intown, have pbserved with the most kindling admiration that what you wil} permit me to call the heroic -movement is already rapidly advuijciug. It b .gins althe top of the dress, and the m.o*t unflinching of the fair patriots have alreadyreached a point in the sacrifice far be-low the neck. The delightful emulationcontinues, so that by the opening ofnext season we may confidently expectto nee perfect heroism.

Of course, as dress disappears, a re-fined and elegant substitute is provided.The neck, for instance, is draped in themost exquisite enamel; the cheeks areprotected by the rosiest rouge, and lestthe exposure of the eyebrows and eye-lids should be injurious to health, theyare clothed iu the softest henna. Thissimple costume is surely enough for thosewho are ready for the last sacrifice.What sublime economy 1 What sublimerenunciation ! The farther it goes themore indescribable it is. I wish youwould come and see for yourself. Wenever think of not going to parties nowwhen there is so much to be seen ; andwhat do we not owe to ladies who thussurrender everything! A queer ojdprig to whom I was dilating with enthu-siasm upon the subject, replied, ' Yes, Ihavj seen a great deal in my time, butthis gives me an entirely new viewcfwoman." Of course it does. Is it notclear that every one who is capable of ta-king part in this great movement is capa-ble of anything ?

I know that you are interested ineverything which shows devotion to thecountry, and although you were a littleskeptical about the Woman's League, touse only domestic manufactures, becauseyou thought there was some evasionabout it, 1 am sure you will hear withastonishment and gratitude of this trulybrave economy, which conceals nothing.All for our couutry or dress well last,is thejinspiring rallying cry of the lovelypatriots.

Good-bye I must be off to dress forthe ball, which the ladies used to do be-fore the patriotic days Yes dress isjust the difference between us now. Howmuch trouble they save themselves ! Butall virtue has its compensation. Remember, I bavo told you nothing but thenaked truth, and have barely tims to

STEWART T3E MERCHANT MILLION-AIRE.—He has many partners, but theyare only partners in profit. He is thesole master of all that is bought andsold. He knows every article thatoomes in or goes out of the store. Nobundle leaves without a check. He seected a shawl one day for his wife, and,

neglecting to check, it could not leavethe building. No merchant in NewYork works as many hours or gives suchindividual attention to his business.—rHis rooms are ic his down town store,He comes down early, takes his dinnerat 5 o'clock, returns and remains at hiswork till late at night. He is as diffi-cult to approach as the grand lama.Go to the store, and you are met at thedoor by a courteous gentleman, once anaffluent merchant, who kept hid own esablishment. To your question if Mr.

Stewart is in? a response comes, "Wh.atis your business ?'' " I want to see Mr.Stewart ?" "You can't gee him unlessI know what you want, sir." It is pri-vate you say. "Mr Stewart has no pri-vate business." If your statement issatisfactory, you are allowed to pass upstair?. Here you aro met by anotherbland but portly gentleman, once ajudge of one of our courts, now the con-fidential business agent and companionof Mr. Stewart, to whom he devotes allhis time. He subjects you to a seriesof cross examinations as vigorous as ifyou were on a stand in court. He keepsyou from Stewart if he can. If he can'twhen your turn comes, he ushers youinto a little box ten by twenty, wheresits the autocrat of the New Yorkmerchants. He receives you with ablank countenance and a cold eye. Hisvoice is suppressed, his face inanimate,and his air impatient. You hurrythrough your business, and need a strongtemptation to induce you to run thegauntlet the second time.

A Letter From Mr. Cobdeo-The subjoined letter has been ad-

dressed by Mr. Cobden to the Ameri-can Minister at Copenhagen :

MIPHUUST, Feb. 5, 1865." I congratulate you on the course

which events havo taken in your countryduring the last few months. It seems tome that there are uumistakeable signsof exhaustion in tho Confederacy, and it.would not be rash to prpdict now thatthe famous ' ninety days' will witnes-"very decisivo evetitB in the progress ofthe war, JefT. Davis rules in Richmond,but the Union armies control hia do-mains. I hold a theory that in thesetimes, when armies require vast appli-ances of mechanical resources, and whenthey are eo much larger than in oldendays, it is impossible to carry on warwithout the bise of large cities. If thoseaports be taken, Lee obliged to evacu-ate Richmond, there will not be a townleft in the Confederacy with twentythousand white inhabitants. I t w' 11 b-jimpossible to maintain permanentlylarge armies in the interior of the slavustates, amid scattered plantations andunpaved vjllagoa.

'• You canriut, in euch circumstances,concentrate tho means of subsistence, orfurnish the necessary equipment for anarmy. I expect, therefore, to eee theloss of the large towns lead to a disper-sion of the Southern armies. I havesometimes speculated on what courseLee will take if obliged to abandoD theposition at Richmond. I have my doubtswhether he will continue the strugglebeyond the borders of his native Slate.However, all these are speculations, wljicha few months will dispose of. I prayHeaven we may soon see the terminationof this terrible war.

" I observe what you say about Con-federate agents having found encourage-ment in Europe. I can easily believethis. If the South caves in, there willbe a fierce resentment felt by the lead-ers towards those potentates or ministersin Europe who have deluded them totheir ruin, and I should not be surprisedif we were to hear some secrets disclosed,in consequence, of an interesting kindDemocracy has discovered how very fewfriends it has in Europe among theruling class. I t has at the same timediscovered its own strength, and whatis more, thjs has also been discoveredby the aristocracies and absolutisms ofthe Old World. So that I think youare more safe thau ever against therisk of intervention from this side of theAtlantic Besides, you must not for-get that the working class uf England,who will not always be without directpolitical power, have, in spite of theirsufferings, and tho attempt to misleadthem, adhered nobly to the cause of civ-ilization and freedom.

" You will have a task sufficient toemploy all your energios at home tobring your finances into order. Thereis a dreadful waut of capacity at yourhead in questions of political economy—

u seem now to be in the same state ofignorance as that from which w6 beganto emerge 40 years ago. The labors ofHuskisson, Peel and Gladstone seemneyer to have been heard of by Messrs.

& Co. Depend on it, that, asthere is no royal road to learning, sothere is no republican path to pros-perity. You must follow the beatentrack of experience. Debt is debt,whether on the East or West of tho At-lantic, and it can be paid only by prudence and economy, and a wise distribu-tion of its burdens. * * *

FEIDAY MORNING. MARCH 31.1865.

OFFICIAL 3U OF THE CI£T.

J 5 3 correspondent of the AlbinyJournal, writing from Alabama, gives anaccount of the plunder of a plantation onwhich negroes, (eft to themselves by theowner, had raised a crop and were livingcomfortably, says :

I was hardly ever more taken backby an answer than by an old negress onthis place,

" Well, granny;" I said, "you neverexpected to live to see times like these,did you ?"

I referred of course to "the dav ofubilee."

But the old negress was not at allicntimental.

" No ipassa," she said, taking a blackcorn-cob pipe from her mouth, and epit-;ing quite deliberately into the woodfire on the hearth.

"No, massa, I neber did expeot to seethe Yankees come and rob we niggersdie a-way."

A N ENGLISH CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.There is a famous prescription in use jnEngland for the cure of drunkenness, bywhich thousands are said to have beenassisted in recovering themselves, Therecipe came into notoriety through theefforts of John Vine Hall, commanderof the Great JEastern steamship. Hehad fallen into such habitual drunkennessthat his most earnest efforts to reclaimhimself proved unavailing. At lengthhe fought the advice of an eminentphysician, who gave him a prescriptionwhich he followed faithfully for sevenmonths, and at the end of that time hadost all desire for liquor, although heiad been for many years led captive bya most debasing appetite. The recipe,which he afterwards published, and by.vhich so many other drunkards havobeen assisted to reform, is as follows :-r-Sulphate of iron, five gFains; mngnesia,ten grains; peppermint water, elevendrachms ; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm;twice a day. Tbia preparation acts likea tonic and stimulant; and so partiallysupplies the place of the accustomed"iquoi, and prevents that absolute phys-cal and moral prostration that follows a

sudden breaking oft from the use ofstimulating drink?.

PARIS-PAST AND PRESENT-PARIS, Feb. 16th, 1805.

Many and continued are the impres-sions which crowd upon tho mind of tlievoyager us he hastens from one city toanother of the old world. Every footof earth seems historic. Now ho leavesa place where originated some politicalreform ; an h.>ur afterwards ho enters atown celebrated for some religious revolutions; anon, he is walking the streetsmade illustrious by one of those nameswhich bum in history like stars in heav-en. But in few places are, these im-pressions more profound than iu thecapital of France—busy, infidel, revolu-tionary, pleasure-loving Paris. Did notRoman Emperors reside hore ? Didnot Clovis aud Charlemagne, here givelaws ? Have-not the long list of Frenchroyalty made this their home ? HereDescartea and Pascal delved into science;here Bossuet and Fenelon preached be-fore kings; here Moliere and Racinepoetized ; from here went forth the ar-mies of Conde and Napoleon ; here Vol-taire and Rousseau inaugurated modernincordulity; here Robespierre and Maratestablished civil revolution. Have therenot gone forth from here influences tochange the scientific, the literary, thereligious, and tho political world ?—•H/ive there not walked these streets giantreformers of old opinions or heroio de-fenders of old principles ? I enter theSorbonne, aud the literary revolutions ofFrance press themselves upon ri}y mind.I stand before the' tombs of the Pan-theon, and her religious revolutions arerecalled. I pass the old Tower, and bercivil revolutions aro present to thememory. I t is not alone Lavoisier withhis oxygen, nor Napoleon with his Em-pire, nor Robespierre with his republie,nor Voltaire with his I-don't-believuphilosophy that have made Paris illus-trious ; but it is this combination ofphilosophy, of science, of art, of greatevents, vfh.ipb, has made its historygrand.

Thus Puris—Laving ever beon a sortof battle-ground, it is the center ofsouvenris both agreeable and sorrowful.I often stand before the Tower of St.Jacques, and I think of the time whenPascal ascended it to establish his dis-covery of the decrease of atmosphericpressure. There is a souvenir for thescientific glory of France. I visit oc-casionally tho tomb of Napoleon, and Ithink of the man that governed Europefor a while. Thero is a souvenir for themilitary glory of France. I asosndMont-martre, sad I seem to ace Xavieranji bis comrades swearing before thestars to advance the kingdom of Christ.There is a souvenir for the religiousglory of France. But also I pass byalmost each day tho Tower of St. Ger-main l'Auxerrois, and my thoughts hasten back to that gad night when its beljtolled forth the massacre of St. Bajthe-lemy. I stand often upon the spot whereonce stood the Bastillo, and I think ofthe men whom tyranny here oonfined.—I walk too over the Place de la Concor-de, and I remember that maddened mobthat thirsted for the blood of Louis X V Iand Marie Antoinette. These aredarker souvenirs. Paris can not effacethese marks of blood that deface herhistory. Thus she saems the center ofall that is high and elevating in humanthought and aption, as well as all that islow and debasing.

What Paris has been in the past sheis to day—one of those great hearts,whose beatings are felt afur, aud whoselife-currents are driven across a conti-nent. It is here to day, that are clash-ing those opinions whidi will overturn orestablish more firmly the habitual ssnti-ments of man. Here Napoleon says

the Empire is peace ; " while JulesFavre defends the immortal principlesof '89. Here llenan ainis a blow at thefoundation of the Christian religion,while Guizot displays its beauties. HeroLaboulaye Would change the epicureanmanners apd supplant them by some-thing more puritanic, whi'e Mahbille op-pogea him with liis nocturnnl carnivalsand his elysiam of sensual pleasures.—Thus far tho false philosophy seems tohave gained the ascendency. Paris isdespotic, infidel, sensual. The liberty ofspeech is denied her citizens, the libertyof sin is perfect,

But i:j her bad influence felt elsewhere? Will she be the corrupted treethat will spread her brupyh.es afar, scat-tering the seeds of a morality hating ma-terialism ? Aud, above all, will her influences penetrate across (be Atlanticanvl corrupt American society which

f.om here seems so pure ? Alas! I knowthat Europe is none the tetter for herto-day ; and as for America I often wishthat three oceans instead of one rolledbetween her and the old world 1 For Ihave seen a young American leave homewith moral character, with pure thoughts,with religious faith; I have seen himdrawn Hlmosb involuntarily into thetemptations o( this modern Babylon; Ihave seen him return with ruined char-acter, corrupted thoughts, and unbelief.Is this a solitary example ? I fear not.That it might be I That every Ameri-can who comes hither might bring withhim the .principles of his fathers, thatho might ciing to his puritanical oduca-tion, that ho might preserve intact hismoraljcharacter, and then as far as he isconcerned, America would be in the future, aa it has been in the past, the hopeof the world.

Income Returns for 1864-The income returns for 1864 are

made under a different law from thatof 1863, and are phanged in many im-portant particulars. As the time with-in which they must be made is rapidlyapproaching, it will bo of interest topqte the most important of tl)e changesFor instance, where a family consistingof husband, wife and children, or ofhusband and wife only, receives separ-ate incomes upon account of each mem-ber, or of some of them, six hundreddollars only are to be deducted fromthe aggregate incomes of all the mem-bers, ' ine deduction of dividends uponthe stock of corporations, and interestupon their bonds and debts nre still tobe allowed. Also tho rent of the home-stead of a family, and where it is notrented, but occupied by the owner, afair rental value is also to be deducted.All national, State and local taxes paid,except the income tax, are to be allowed.The amount paid for hired labor incarrying on a business, rents of placesof business, money paid for repairs notexceeding the average of the precedingfive years, and money paid for intereston inoumbrances on real os'ate miy bededuetod. But new buildings, perma-nent improvements and betterments arenot to be deducted. Advertisementsare only exempted tp the extent of sixhundred dollars, and a newspaper nothaving a circulation of two thousandcopies is wholly exempt.

The objects to be counted as incomeare also extended. Income from inter-est upon notes, bonds and other securi-ties of the United Spates ia to be returned, Profits u.pon gales of real estatepurchased within the year are to becounted as income, and losses upon thesame description of property boughtwithin the same period aro to be deduct-ed. Interest money due upon notes,bonds and mortgages, or other forms ofindebtedness, if good and collectable isto be included as a part of the inoome.Gains upon purchases and sales ofstocks or other property, real or per-sonal, the increased value of live stocksold or on hand, and the value of agri-cultural and farmers' productions of anestate, unsold, but on hand on tho 31stof December of the year to bo accountedfor, are to be estimated and placed inthe returns as ao much income. Also,the gains and profits of companies, in-corporated or not, which ha re not paida tax upon dividends, shall be returned,whether dividends or not. A deductionof six hundred dollars is allowed in allcases. The rate of the duty ia inoreasedalso. Between $600 and $o,000 the taxis five per cent., between $5,000 and$10,000, seven and a half per cent.; over$10j000, ten per cent. A man, there-fore, who has an income of $50,000 willpay on the five per cent, rate, 8220, onthe seven and a half per cent, rate 8375;on the ten per gent, rate $4,000—total,$4,595. The old rates were three percent, on all amounts over $600, and thespecial war tax of five per cent, ad-vanced that taxation for 186S upim aninoome of £50,000 to 83,9")2.

The Words to Use.Bo simple, unaffected ; be honest iu

your speakiug and your writing. Neveruse a long word wh,en a fhort one willdo. Call a spade a spade, not a well-known oblong instrument of uuusual in-du?try ; let a home be a home, not aresidence; a place, not locality; and a >of the reat. Where a short ono will do,you always loso by using a luug cne.—You lose in clearness, you logo in honestexpros^ing of your meaning; and, in thoestimation of all men who are competentto judge, 3'ou loso in reputation for abi'-ity.

The only true way to rhino, even inthis false world, is to be modest andunassuming. Falsehood may be a verythick crust, bat in the course, of timotruth will find a place to bri'ftk through.Elegance of language niay not bo in thepower of all of us, but niiaplioity andstraightforwanlnestj nro.

Write as you would speak; speak asyou think. If with your infeiior, speakno coarser than usual; if your superior,speak uojiuur. B,ut what you say, andwithin the rules ot prudence, say whatyou are. Avoid all oddity nf express-ion. No fine was ever a gainer by sin-gularity of word.1-', IT in pronunciation.Tbe truly wiso will so spwk that nonewill observe h°W he rpMfca.

When I hear a person use a queer ex-pression, or pronounce a name in readingdifferently from his neighbor, the habitalways goes down, miuus sign, before itstands on the side of deficit, not of credit,Avoid, likewise, all slang. I t is onlyfit (when innocent, which it seldom ii)f jr raw school boys and one term fresh?meu to astonish their sisters with. Talkas sensible meu talk, use the easiestwords in their commonest meaning. Letthe sense conveyed, not the vehicle inwhich it is conveyed, be your subject ofattention,

Once more, avoid in csnversation allsingularity of accuracy. One of thobores of sooiety is the 'jove who i# nl-ways setting you right; who, when youreport from the paper that 10,000 menfell in some buttle, tell you that it wa«9,996; who, when you describe yourwalk as two miles out and back, assurey'U that it lacked half a furlong of it.Truth does not consist in minute acgu-racy of detail, but in.conveying a rightimpression ; and thero are many vagueways of speaking that are truer thanstrict fact would be.

Recent Astronomical Discoveries.A very complete investigation of the

sun's photospere 1ms been made. Thediscovery which Mr. Nasmyth announ-ced in 186"2, that the z<ine of lightclouds which surround the nucleus ottho s'in is composed of large portionsot matter shaped like willow leaves,each being some twenty thousand mileslong, and crossing one another iu everyconceivable direction, has been demonsstrated, and, with certain modifications,accepted.

Most persons nre aware that recentdiscoveries havo detected an error iqthe calculations of the older astrono*[tiers] I t has been shown that we ar«at least 4,000,000 miles nearer to thesun than has been heretofore believed.Bearing upon this is a statement which,has been made to the effect that thesupposed distance of the moon from theeurth is also incorrect. Prom ft labori-ous examination of lunar observatione,made simultaneously at the Cape ofGood Hope and various European ob-servatories, Mr- Hugh Breem has foundthat we are really nearer the moon thanhas been c.omputed. The difference be-tween the two sets of figures shows usthat our satellite is twenty-six milescloser to us than was previously imagineed.

Perhaps the most important discovery,and that which will moat prominentlymark the past year in the history of as*tronomical progress, is that which v uannounced to the Royal Sooiety byMessrs. Huggins and Miller, Thin dis-covery upsets all the doctrines to whiohastronomers have pinned their faith dur»ing the present century. Every one iafamiliar with tho term Nehulcr, an ex-pressiou employed to designate certainmisty masses of matter from which lightis emitted, and which can only bo ex-amined with the aid of the most power*ful telescopes. These bodies, which aprpear as shapeless clouds of light at im-mense distances from the earth, havebeen of late years studied and observ«4by all classes of astronomers ; and, mor«recently, they have been regarded as be-ing pimply huge clusters of fixed stars,which on account of their enormous dis-tance from us, appear blended togetherinto a confused mass. WTatchful ob-servers concluded as we have said ; andit has been for years the delight of as-tronomers to •' resolve," as the terra in,these nebulas. Since, however, thank*to the researches of Funsen and Kirch-off, a new system of chemical analysis,by moana of which we can tell from thelight, which a body emits what is thenature of its composition, and since thismethod has been put in practice in thecase of the sun and fixed stars, showingin them a constitution closely resem-bling that of our earth, Messrs. Hug-gins and nt'iller determined to put thelight of t'no neh^ce to a similar teat.-mThe spectrum analysis of the nebularlight has been accnirplishod, and, wot};derful to tell, it has revealod the pres-ence of only one or two elements, andthese are gas^s. Hence, the conclusionis inevitable thaf the nebv.hr, are m.os,Jprobably enormous masses of luminousgases or vapor. This important con-clusion, which is ono uf the most remarka-ble that ha§ beer, for i\ long time arriv-ed al, brings astronomers back, in somodegree, to t.hp peculiar views of Lap-lare, as expressed in his '' Nebular Hy-pothesis."

having succeeded in getting a new leaseof the Surveyor Generalship of DacotahTerritory, despite the good wishes of hishome friends, has turned his attention tolocal matter?, and is prolonging his stay'' at Court," to urge the appointment ofa rew Postmaster in our city.

135** We hope that Dr. WELLS, one ofour nominees for Regent will receivemuch more than the Democratic voteof our City, on Monday ne&t. That heis qualified for the position will be con-ceded by all. Although the same majbe said of his opponents, the Republi-cans should ignore party and vote forDr Wur,L8 on local grounds. Thereought always to be a Regent of theUniversity located here, and the Re-publican convention of 1863, unwiselyyielded to bad advice in refusing tonominate a candidate for Regent, livinghere. A resident Regent is almost anecessity; and our citizens, at least,should show the politicians of the State,by their votes, that they have an interestin the University and its management,that must be recognized and respectedby rrcrrnisating conventions.

Give Dlv WELLS a unanimous vote.

The Senate refused to pa a theHouse bill reducing the paper duty fromtwenty to three per cent. I t proposeda reduction only to fifteen, which wasnot acceptable 80 the House, and so thebill failed. The result is, that whilegold is coming down, dry goods coin-ing down, and produce coming down,the price of paper does not change, ex-cept to stiffen up. But Senators oarenothing for this; the government getsno duty, and the paper makers can di-vide larger profits with their Senatorialfriends. Will the Press of the countryever be wise enough to take oare of itsown interests, or will it continue tomake Representatives and Senatorswho will aid a monopoly to drink itslite blood ?

The news from GKANT andSherman shows that both their armieshave met and successfully repelled des-perate rebel attacks. The victoryclaimed over SHERMAN has proved any-thing else, and the temporary rebel suc-cess before Petersburg was turned intoa terrible defeat. Everything seems tobe working favorably, and the cordonis tightening around Richmond. Thechief rebels will soon have to get outof-their nest if at all.

Coldwater Sentinel hasm article on the "Newspapers of BranchOounty," which is not exactly historically

ooirect. It does not give all the Sentinel

changes. ALBERT CHANDLER was not the

successor of OBANDLER & STILLMAN. Dr.

JTILLMAN sold his interest to DAVID WATEH-

KD, some years since deceased, and the pa-

per was conducted awhile by CHANDLER &

WATF.KMAX, CHANDLER being, as during the

former partnerships, the business partner and

Editor, CHANDLEB finally sold his interest

to WATERMAN, and for some months after

CH»!*DLKB'8 connection with the paper

ceased, it was run by S. K. (SHBISTY. as les-

see. He, being spirituMy inclined—not to

Ihe modern spirit! towards which the Suntinel

now leans—became irregular in the publica-

tion, and forfeited his lease, when Ma Wa-

TEUM** sold the office to MR. POXD. The

Sentinel was published just six years by MR

POKD, he having full control of its business

dapartment, and being also sole and only ed-

itor, and at this time many pleasing remem-

bran«?s cluster around that period. He sold

tot to S. W. DBIGQS & Co.. but to HENRY C

GILBSBT. who issued the paper in that firm's

It was sold by the Assoc

winter of 1839—was told to a company at

Jonesville, out of which sale grew a law suit

or two, as afterwards did out of a sale of the

office at Coldwater. We believe the Stir onee

is«ued a Presidenl's message, which the Ob-

four hands—at Coldwater—had got half in

type when the stage from tlie east brought

the genuine VanBuren article, and caused

considerable of an explosion. The hoax

wasn't relished.

From the Rev. Lcvi G. Beck, Pastor of the BaptistCuurcJi, Ptmbtirtou, N. J., ioriiierJy of the North iJan-tist Church, Philadelphia.

I have known HooflunU's German Bitters favorablyfor a number ol years, l have used them in my ownfamily, and have been .so pleased with their effect's thatI was induced to recommend them to many others andknow that they have operated in a strikingly beneficialmanner. I take great pleasure in thus pubhely prochurning thia fact, aud calling the attention of thoseafllicted with the diseases for which they are recom-mended, to these bitters, knowing from experience thatmy recommendation will besustained. I do this morecheerfully aa Houtland'.s Bitters is intended to beuytilthe afflicted, and is -'not a rum drink."

Yours truly, LEV1 G. BECK.

From Kev. J. Newton Brown, I). I). Editor of the Ency-clopedia of Religious Knowledge and Christian Chroni-cle, Philadelphia.

Although not disposed to favor or recommend PatentMedicinea in Keneralvth-oiigh distrust of their ingredientu aud effects, 1 yet know of no sufficient reasonswhy a mau may not testify to the benelits he believeshimself to have received from any simple preparationin t in hope that he may thus contribute to the benefitof others.

I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland's Gor-man Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. 51. Jackson of thi-r t y , because 1 was prejudiced against them formanvyearn, under tlie impression tha: they w<>re chietlv araUUoholic mixture.

Preparing tlic Serd to Plant'.—Someput it, in the ground dry, some soak itta warm water, 1 pmir scalding water < nmy seed, and pinir il off as soon as on,nnd then let it remain in warm watertwo hours; then put it into a smallsaok, and place it over a bed formed byd'ig'iiiig a bole in the ground"' and fillingit with horse manure. To create aproper heal ar >uud your bed, make abos six inches high, (dace a six lightsasli over it, shutting out the air j puta thick cloth over your s ed bag andpour warm water over the seed and ma-nure olten enouuh to keep it warm, andin 24 hours all 111* seed wi'll sproutfsome a quarter ol an inch), but whichwill not hurt it if you ke- p it moist*while planting,, nnd mil it iu plaster.

The Time to Plant.—As soon as youcan get your ground in good ordtr,Bay a week before yeur corn.

Feitiliz^rs Plaster is preferred bynil; it makes a better sirup and betterjields. A good time to apply it is iustas the cane comes up so as to wantworking. It shows the hills distinctfrom the grass, assisting you to work itsooner and better.

Cultivation.—Keep the ground stir-red and clean until it is about two feethigh, then set the cultivator fc> throwthe dirt up to the hills, and let it pass ifyour ground is clean. further workdone is more hurt than good.

Harvesting.—The cheapest way is tostrip the cane leaves when standing, be-fore cut up. Cot the tops after boundki'buudles.. Bind about four or fivehill* in one bundle with cane leaves.The frost sometimes interferes with thisway of harvesting. My way then is tocut the cafie before stripped drop fouror fivo hills in a pile across the ridges,making it more convenient to bind. Ifthe cane is tall put on two bands. If Ihave room I prefer to shelter it. If Ihave no room, I go to the woods,-cu-t,say ten crotches, two of them sufficientbo hold up a . polo ten or fifteen feetlong, a.nd set them at proper distances;they will acoomqiodate one acre ofground. In this way you can set yourbiHscHea two or1 three thick on eachside of your poles, making the best arrangement I have fouDd, to cure andsavo it.

The right time tocut i your cane iswhen the seed is ripe, if the frost doesaoi make it necessary to do 80 before; ifit does it will make good seed in tb'edough.

F,ost—Light frosts do no materialdamage. But it is like Indian mealand sawdust for a pudding, the leg-ssawdust the better. Oommon frosta doifclittle or no hurt after it is cut ana se-cured, more ttan Indian corn,,

They never think of theprice of anything so long as they havethe money. They Uve on tUeir capita-1instead of income, and begm anew everyyear. A lazy stage-driver will toss thestable-boy who waters his horse, a silverhalLdollar as if it were but two cents.Judging from their generosity, we thinkthe people must be immensely rich, butthey are poor—keep themselves so bytheir extravagance; no population inthe world, living at the same rate, hasso little wealth. But the great crops—green vegetables are to be had tbraugh-thu whole year, and in size that beatsnature.* A respectable Presbyterianclerg)in*n told ms that he had planteda peach-pit, and in fourteen mouths it hadgrown to a tree ten feet high, and he atepeaches grown upon it. Now, you don'tbelieve this, but it is true.

Ihe History of Dr. Schenck's own Case, and howke wascured of Consumptvm.

Many years ago , whilst residing in Philadelphia, Iiad progressed gi&dually into t he last stage of Pul

monarv <Jon*umptii>n AH hopes of my recovery be-og dissipated. I was advised by my physician, Or. Par--isb t o r s w e v e i u i o t he count ry . Moot-estown, NewJersey, being tftf nat ive pi?,ce, 1 was removed thi ther .My father and nil his family had lived and died there—and died ol 'Pulmonary Conaamptlffn. On my arrivalI wan pu t to 1 ed, where I lay for many w<2«ks in whatwas deemed a hopeless condition* Dr. Thornton, whohad been my father's family physician, an<; had at-tended him in hi« la;;t illness, was 0ftHe<J to see me. Hethought nay case entirely beyond the reach of medicine,and decided tbat I must die, ayd gave me one week toarrange my temporal affaire. Iu this apparently hope-less condition, I heard t f the romertios which I nowmake- and sell. It BeetQed *o me iha t I could feel themworking their way, and penet ra t ing uvcry nerve , fibre,aud tissue of my system.

My lungs anri liver put on a new action, a n d t h e rnorbid mutter wi.ich for year.s Lftd accumulated and irritate-1 the difl'ertnt organs ot t h e body, was eliminatedtiie tubercles ota i n ' hm^s ripened, and 1 expectoratedfrom my lungs as m u c h as a pint of yellow offensivematter every morning. As this exp«ctpraUon of matter subsided, tbe 'fcver aba ted , the pain left me thecough ceased $o harass me, and the exhaust ing sightBwfeate wore no longer known, a ml I bad re reehingBleep, to wliich 1 bad long been a stranger . My appeflte now beg n to r e tu rn , and at times I found it difficult to restrain Wvself from eating too much ; witltiiis r e t u r n of heal th , I gained In s t r e n g t h , a n d | » wam tleshj . 1 am now a h e a l t h ; man, with a larghealed ctcatrix in the middle lobe of tbe l ight lung an*the lower lobe tej)atized with complete adbe.-ion of thpleura. The left lungia sound, and the upper lobe othe right one if in atole ' ably healJhy condition.

Consumption at t h a t t ime was thought to bean incurable disease, by every one, physicians as well athose who were noloftrneafea medicine—especially BUGcases as were reduced to the comUtiun I was in. Thiinduced taany people to believe my recovery only tern

t to forced to it, for people wnuM send for me £irand near , to ascertain, whether t he i r cases were likemine.

For many years, in conjunction with my principaoffice in Philadelphia, I h a v e been ronking regular proI'es'-ional visits to New York, Bo.Ltou, Baltimore an(Pitt«burg.

For several vearo past 1 have made as many as fivehundred examination weekly with t he "Respirometer.1

For sueh examinaiion my charge is three dollars, antit (nablfr) me t a give each patient ihe t rue condition ohis disease, and tell him frankly whether he will gcwell-

The great reason whv phypiciana do not en re Consumption is, that they try to do too much ; they givemet-icinea to stop the cough, to stop the n ght sweatshectie fever, and by go doing they rierange t h e who!*digestive system- looking up the secretions, and event-ually t he patient dies.

TIJ6 Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valuablemedicines known. I t is nu t r ien t , powerfully tonic, anthealing in itself. It contains no opium, yet loosensthe phlegm in ihe bronchial tubes , and na tu re throwsit off with little exertion. One bott le frequently cure*an ordinary cold ; bnl ii will be well first to take a doseof Sehenck's Mandrake's Fills to cleanse the s tomach.The l'uimouic Syrup is rcaciily iligested a-L-d absorbedinto blood, to which it Impar ts its h?alin^ properties—It is one of the best preparat ions of iron in use ; it is apowerful tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonicdissol es the mucus in the stomach, and U curried oilby the aid of the Mandrake I'lUx. a healthy flow ofga»tric juice, good appet i te , and a good digestion foliow

The Seaweed Tonic is a st imulant , and none other Urequired when it Is nfl©$, It U pure and pleasant ; nobad effects liicp whon using Bpurbon wbjsky, which dis-orders t he stomach, torpors the liver, locks up all thesocrt t ions. turns the blood Into water, dropsy sets in,and t h e patient dies suddenly.

Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a days by al-most every p h y s i d m . Many patients t ha t visit myroom?, both malt and lemaje, a re stupefied with thinpoison. The relief is temporary. If tbey cough theytake a little wli i-ky; if tbey feel weak and feeble-theyfate a little whisky ; if they cannot sletp, they take aittle whisky ; and trhoy £0 en in thi:j way, requiring

more and more until they are bloated u p . and imagine1 hey are getting fleshy. The stomach, liver, and di-gestive powers a re completely destroyed,and lose theirippeiite for food. No one was over cured of consump-:ion by this process, whore cavities have been formedn the fungi A litt'.e s t imulant is frequently benefi-

cial to consumptives, such as pure brandy or goodvines ; in many eauei London por ter or brown stout in

moderate quanii ' ies ; but Bourbou whisky hastens onnstgad of cui ing consumption.

The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting resutes, thor-oughly invigorating the stomach, and digestive sys tem,and enabling it to eliminate and n ake into healthy>Jood the food which may b • used tor tha t purpose ~~t in go wonderful in i ts effects that a wineglass tal l

w.ll digest a hearty mea l . and a little of it taken beforebrenkfapt will give n tune to the stomach which fewnedlcinea possess the power of doing.

The MANPRAKK PILLS may be taken with entireafety by all fges and conditions, producing all theood results tha t can be obtained from calomel, or any

>f the mercurial meJicines, and wi thpu tany of theiruirtful or injurious results. They carry out of theystem the feculent and worn out mat te rs loosened andignored by my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonlc Syrup.—t will bo seen tha t all three of my raedi iuos a re need*<1 in me st caties to euro Consumption.
