GET MARRIED.

The editor Of the Norwich Aurora asks of
his readers the very important question "what
is the use Of getting married!" A few
thoughts must give our reasons why all men
should get married.
The great object Of bumanlife is happiness.
TO this end, man bends every action and gives
birth to every thought. 1.-The tolls he tolls
for the accomplishment Of this purpose only /;
if no begs or bestows fayor-if ne receives or
administers the blessings of fortune-if ne

his whole life in accommodating wealth, he has

and that is desire for happiness,
"--our BEINGS end and AIM"
Man is a social being, formed for society and
intercourse, and the very elements of his ma

boon companion, in whom her can confide with
all the faithfulness and freedom of his own
breast. 1t is therefore with view to his So

TANNING.-A discovery has been made
which seems likely to revolutonize the
trade. BY means of a tanning machine or
pair of horizontal rollers fixed over a tan
pit, between which is introduced belt or
band of hides attached by ligatures to each
other, to the number of SO to 100, and by
which the rollers are constantly fed OF sup
piled, the hides are lifted out of the Dit on
one side of the machine; as they pass be-
tween the rollers, the exhausted ooze or tan
ming liquor is pressed out of them, and they
are deposited in folds in the pit, on the other
side of the machine, where they absorb anoth-
er supply of fresh ooze. The first hide hav-
ing been inserted between the rollers, the o.
theirs following in succession, and upon arri-
wing at the end of the band the motion of the
roller is reversed, and the belt is returned
| through the machine to receive another
squeeze. This alternating motion is constant
| ly repeated, the pit being replenished from
time TO time with fresh solutions of tan, till
the operation is completed. The effects OF
this simple plan, as we have satisfied our.
selves by the inspection of documents from
those who have been working on the patent
method for many months, and from those who
have purchased, manufactured and worn the
leather, are 1st, The shortening the time Of

Congress.
PRE-EMPTION ACT.

In the House of Representatives the Pre-
emption bill passed by a vote of 100 to 81,
just as it came from the Senate-so it only
wants the Presidents signature to become a
law. Pending the question of its passage,
Mr.. Wise after inquiring whether the previ-
Gus question was moved, said: MIR Speaker,
If thought this bill vast o inure to the ben
eft of the spoor actual settler of the Wes-
tern lands, would vote for it. Iwould vote
to giue the public lands to the "poor actual
settlef'' sooner thanI would sell it to the spec
uiator at any price, much less the price of
1926 per acre. Sir, there are two defini-
tons of ga poor actual settler" in the vocabu-
larry of a pre>emption bill. "Poor actual SET
TIER" means, generally, "speeulator." Some
times it means, though l do not mean to
make special application to any. member OF
this House or to any member of any other
Congress within my own knowledge-some-
times "poor actual settler" in The dictionary
of this bill, means 'u member Of Congress 90

PROSPECTS in TENNESSEE.

lie FeVolutlon In M1odlc tennessee In To-
vor of Harrison, if the intelligence be true,
and we have no reason to doubt it, is unef-
pected and even astounding. One of our
citizens, just returned from Maury county,
says the changes there are actually astdnish-
ing and that it is generally conceded that Mr..
Van Buren, will not get over 800 majority,
although il gave Van Buren, majority last
summer of Oil. The gentleman offers TO
back his opinion by betting suit ofclothes.
Giles county also, which gave 334 majority
for the Van Buren, ticket last summer, it is
said will now certainly give Harrison ma
jority. In the edge of Maury or Lawrence.
the gentleman found forty laborefs at work on
the road, among whom there were but four Van
Buren, men. He tells us that no one can be-
lleve,. who does not travel and see it, tina,
there Is such an agonizing revolution in Ten
nessee. But it is every aphere; the face of
the Confederacy is troubled and shaken with
it; it is almighty and overwhelming and

not even in the reelection of Gen. jackson.

DIET OF DYSPEPTICS.

DR.. Chapman Of this city, in an article or
Dyspepsia, contained in the American Jour
nal Of the Medical Science, gives the follow.
ing opinion respecting milk as an article o.
diet:
"Milk is applicableto nearly all the varie
ties OF dyspepsia and its complications. But
| 1t is objected o-it, that it disagrees with ma.
ny persons. That there are idiosyncrasies
forbiddlng Its use, is very conceivable, though
have seldom met with such instances. Il
may be pulSed up and turned, which ought
not, as is generally thought, to discourage
us from further trials. The first step in the
digestion of such fluids is coagulation. What
was said long ago by Cadogan, is nearly
true,---that milk is most proper, when it APP
pears least misunderstanding the power of cor
rectng the morbid state of the stomach, and
hence remedial in its preliminary effects"
Dr. Z. however, mentions cases in which
a free use Of milk has produced alarming
effects by The coagulation of large Masses
When milk cannot be taken, he recommends
cocoa or chocolate prepared with boiling wa
ter, the oily matter to be SKINNED off and the
liquid reboiled and seasoned with cream and
sugar. For the dinner of the dyspeptic he
recommends white poultry, beef, or mutton,
oiu Aoioiuo NCdis lduU, geese, DUCKS ana
fish. He says it is well ascertained fact
that all young meats are comparatively indi-
gestible. Every variety of soup, DIR. G. pro-
nounccs pernicious to the dyspeptic. Owe
getables, rice and roasted potatoes are recon-
mended, and for bread ''leaven bread stale
and without butter" is prescribed. The DIR.
says he has seen great injury sometimes re-
suit from the too indiscriminate use of bran
bread. Deserts are in general forbidden
Ice creams, however, are often harmless or g.
ven beneficial, taken in the intervals of the
regular meals.
DR.. c. directs the dyspeptic to eat but lit
tie at time, and seems inclined to doubt
whether there is much force in the common
objections TO taking food frequently
in the evening is not, in DIR C's opinion, in
all cases to be forbidden.-HN While he concurs
in the general denunciation of suppers, he
thinks little food may sometimes be useful
at bed time, in preventing harrassing sensa-
ton Of emptiness with nervousness and NOR
bid vigilance. North american.

So,Ding Seeds and Causes of Failure.


Much of the complaint which is made of
the failure of seeds, is owing to the want of
proper care in sowing them, or to other cir
cumstances than the bad quality. Many kinds
of seeds are very small, and il these have
more than slight covering of earth they will
not vegitate. And on the other hand, when
slightly covered, one or two days of hot sun
will dry the earth. so that ifthey have spronted,
they will be inevitably destroyed. Some
kinds Of small seed will not vegitate we'll I'M
less the earth is rolled or pressed firmly in
contact with them. (Thus it will be seen that
small seeds should be sown in fine earth, CO.
vered lightly, and rolled or pressed down; and
the bed should then be shaded from the hot
sun and watered frequently in dry weather. }
Some seeds have hard shell or pericap, and
require several days. soaking before sowing,
IN order to cause them to vegetate freely. Ii
these are sowD without any preparation, and
dry weather ensues, they will invariably fail.
Other kinds, natives Of warm climates, will
be sure to rot if sown when the weather is cool
and moist: and some even require good hot
bed to cause them to vegetate. On the other
hand some require cool moist weather to vepe-
tate. Again, sometimes the seeds vegetate
well, bit before the plants have become fair
y visible, they are destroyed by the myriads
of insects which often infest the ground i'm
summer These are few of the many caus-
es which every experienced gardener knows
frequently prevent the growth ofseeds; but the
failure of which is often attributed to their
bad quality.

WASHINGTON, MAY %, 1910.
UNITED STATES SENATE.
PRESENTS FOR THE PRESIDENT.

PRESENTS TUX 1fiE FREESlDBN {.
The committee on foreign affairs, through
Mr.. BUCHANAN, the chairman, reported a
resolution authorising the President of the u.
States to receive the lion and lioness and the
Arabian horses sent out by the Emperor of
Morocco and the Imaum Of Muscat. The
resolution was read and an amusing debate
followed.
Mr.. TAPPAN was for returning a gift to
the giver by selling the presents, sending out
something Of the value of the money obtain
ed upon the sale of the horses and lions.
The resolution proposed that the presents
should be sold and the receipts placed in the
Treasury.-Adopted.
Mr.. BUCHANAN gave an amusing ac-
count of the gift of the lion and lioness by
the Pacha at Morocco to the American Con-
sui stationed there. The Consul declined
the reception Of the presents for time, and
gave as a reason the Constitutional prohibit
ton. The Pacha said if the lions could not
be given to the President he would give
them to Congress. The many objections tc
this were stated and enforced and the present
was again declined. 1t was stated that the
people, not Congress nor the President of the
United States were the soveregns, "Then'
said the Pacha, 81 will send the lions to the
people of the United States" Objections
in the form of the impracticability Of this
gift were stated by the Consul. The Pachs
would hear no more excuses, but said tina
he would either send the lions or lose his
his head. The Consul yielded at length, bu
not until the Pacha was about to set the ami.
mails free at Morocco.

PLAIN FACTS FOR PLAIN MEN.

General Harrison, pending the Missouri
question, the greatest question TO the Soutl
which ever agitated the National councils
voted throughout with the South. He wa
one of only three of the Representatives from
the non-slaveholding States, who admitted
| and maintained our Constitutional rights
For his noble and magnanimous course OF
that occasion, he was defeated at the next e.
lection.
Mr.. Van Buren, was at that time opposed tc
the South, and in the Senate of New York
voted to instruct the New York Senators tc
oppose the admission of Missouri unless sla.
very was abolished.
General Harrison voted for the admission OF
slaves into Arkansas.
Mr.. Van Buren, voted TO restrict the admis-
sion of slaves into Florida.
Gen. Harrison, in his Cheviot Speech in
1888, declared that the discussion of slavery,
in the non-slaveholding States, had no sane
ton In the principles of the Constitution 3
and he has maintained throughout his public
career that Congress has no jurisdiction over
the institution Of slavery-and he rests his
opinion upon the broad basis of the Constitu-
ton.
MIR. Van Buren, has always commended that
Congress had the constitutional right to le-
gislate on the subject of slavery; but since he
became an aspirant for Southern votes, he adj
mits that the exercise of the right would be
inexpedient.
Gen. Harrison has always been, in feeling,
in principle and in action with the South on
this great and vital question.
Mr.. Van Buren, has always been opposed
to us, until he conceived it to be his interest
to affect friendship.
While General Harrison was fighting the
battles of his country, and sand putting all
his enemies to shame" Mr.. Van Buren, was
pursuing the paths ofpleasantness and peace,
and intriguing against the Republican Admin
istration of Mr.. Madison.
General Harrson's friends can point to HIS
important public services, in the field and in
the council, as evidences of his valor, his pa
triotsm, his ability and his willingness to
serve his country. What has Mr.. Van Buren,
done in .he whole course of his public life,
which entities him to the gratitude or the adj
miration of his countrymen When did he
ever peril his precious little person in oppos-
ing foreign or domestic foe But if he is
not Hero, as all confess he is not, what
great measure, wise in its design and saluta-
ry in its operation, did he ever propose and
perfect What single act which gave evil

elevated and disinterested patriotism Echo

AFFECTING ANEcDorE.A affecting spec
tacle of insanity, followed by melancholy
result, was witnessed few days ago at the
lunatic hospital at Summer. A lady and a
gentleman went to visit the establishment,
accompanied by tbeir child, little girl of five
or six years old. AS they passed one of the
cells, the wretched inmate, an interesting
young woman of twenty-five, who had ire
coverably lost her reason, through the deser-
ton of a seducer, and the death of her illegi-
innate offspring, suddenly made spring at
the little girl, who had approached within
| her reach. In the height of her delirium, the
poor creature fancied the strangers child her
own lost darling, and devouring it with kis-
ses, bore it In triumph to the further end of
her cell. Entreaties and meneces being
equally Intellectual to induce her to restore the
child to its terrified mother, the director of
the establishment was sent for, and at his
suggestion the maniac was allowed to retain
peaceable possession of her prize, under the
impression that exhausted with her own fran
tic violence, the child might be liberated from
her grasp without the difficulty of the en-
ployment of harsh means, The calculation
was not erroneous; in a few minutes the poor
sufferers eyes closed in slumber, and one of
the keepers, watching the opportunity, snatch
ed the child from her arms, and restored it to
its mother. The shrek of delight uttered by
the latter, on recovering her treasure, waken-
ed the poor maniac, who perceiving the child
gone, actually howled with despair, and in a
paroxysm of ungovernabie frenzy fell to the
ground-to rise no more. Death had released
her from her suferings. @GuHgnanf.
