doubtless, be acquitted and if malic-
ious, they have their remedy in an action
for a malicious prosecution. But all
these are Judicial questions, over which
the Executive can exercise no control,
and the evil complained of results from
the acknowledged right of every indi-
yidual to prosecute any one for an al
legged offence or violation Of right.
The President feels the impor,
lance Of avoiding, as far as practi-
cable, all causes of irritation be-
tween the North and South, and especl-
ally on the exciting subject of slavery.
Were he permitted to advise, he would
suggest to all the importance of permits
ting the laws to take their usual course,
and that everything relating TO ntlml-
dation or illegal or unjust annoyance
should be scrupulously GyClded. Every

ternal feeling We should be people
of one interest and one sentiment
knowing no legal division and tolerating
no sectional injustice. Our Union, so
dear to the heart of every true Amerl-
can, can only be preserved by strict

Wonderful Cows.

There is a COW which has stood for many
years in the same spot, in the suburbs Of our
city, with a wooden teat and iron tail. This
COW has never been known to move from her
place OF change her position. She gives an
astonishing quantity of milk, and draws all
her nouris hment from the ground. She has
never had calf, neither has she failed IN
giving her usual quantity OF milk. She IS
not MIXED as other cows are, by pulling the
teat, but by lifting the tail. For further de-
scription, ask some Of our mIkmen.-Ne01rk
.2dr.
ANorHER.-Th9re is another singular spe-
cies of cows, In most towns and cities, diff
ering materially from the one described by
our Newark friend. Some have stood in
Circlevilie for years. on the same spot. They
have glsss - teats,' and - tales of woe
They also give an astonishing quantity OF
mills" and draw all their nourishment from
those who milk them. They have many
- calves which never wean, and some Of
them are always sucking. 1t often happens
when the suckers are reduced, and most in
need OF milk, the dam refuses her supply,
and turns upon them the - hollow horn" 70
which the Oldest calves have great aversion.
They are not milked in the usual way, bat the
:. calf lodges behind rack or screen, and
sucks the glass " teat'' first standing, then
sitting, and finally lying Naturalists have
observed that the younger calves after a
good - SUCK are playful and ac.ive, but as
they grow older, they become affected with
that disease among = cattle called freDa5!es
1t has also been remarked that the oftener
those cows are sucked, the more thirsty and
impoverished becomes the - calf" After
sucking for years they are often too weak 10
stand, and generally terminate their - career
by going 10 grass. Cir. HeraH.
STILL ASoTHER-WeH done, gents. But
there Is still another species. whose = calves"
are more numerous than either of the above,
and equally singular and varied The dam
is described as having either - fool at one
end and fire at the o.her," or = calf that
wont - suck till he bites of piece Of the
ieat, when, instead Of swallowing the dark
looking and absolutely poisonous milk. which
he extracts great quantities, s4uiE.s /; forth
upon his best f.ieuds, TO the annoyance Of
even the dogs who hang their Ia Is and run
Cows" Of this description, are miiked IN
the usual way, l. e., BY and with the - calves
mouth. The calves are seldom ever satisfied
continuing at it all day and even sometimes
at night while sleeping, oftentimes in the
arms or on the bosom of some delicate female.
The Younger suckers of this breed, are now
more numerous than ever before, notwithsian-
ding the almost universal fate of the old ones
who lose their breath and health. Another
peculiarly In this species Is, the calf always
carries the dam, who gradually |" grows smal
and beautifully less" by the contrest. Thel

derstood that the God of Nature intended
them for bricklayers, carpenters, black
smiths, and in many instances for boot
blackers Many of these ought now to
abandon their professions, for the profita

standing the attempt to discriminate between
the genuine and the counterfeit notes, and the

them. The counterfeit note is, apparently,
fau.tess, and it is only upon very close ex-

JOHN HAN CO OK.

One OF the most distinguished personagcs of
tie War Of Independence was john Hancock. who
was born near the yillage Of QIincy, IN Massa-
chusetts, IN the year 1897 His father and grand
father were both ministers Of the gospel. His
father IS represented as a pious, Industrious, and
faithful pastor; a friend of the poor, and patron
OF learning lie died while John was quite an
infant and left him TO tie care Of a paternal un-

This relative was merchant N Boston, who had

abilities proved such, that IN I7tO he sent him on
a business mission TO England v here he was PRES

nation ceremonies of George III. Soon after his
return 10 America, hls uncle died and left him, al
the age OF tventy-si1. in possession of princely
fortune-one Of the largest III the Province OF

He soon relinquished his commercial pursuits,
and became an active paliticiat. always taking
sides with those whose continents were liberal
and democratic. He was soon noticed and appre-

The Old Thirteen.

God bless the good old Thirteen States;
God bless the young ones too;
Who cares for musty birthday dates
God bless them-old aud new.
The old ones first our freedom gained
In bloody fights Of yore;
The young ones have their rights maintained
As the old ones die before
Or South or North, or East or West,
Twin sisters all they be;
One mother nurs'd them at her breast,
And that was Liberty.
And may the wretch who,e hand shall strive
To cut their vital thread,
Be scorned while in this world alive,
And scorned when he Is dead
Now ill the bowl VITA Natures wine,
Let's drink God save the King"
The only King by right diy me,
The sovereign People King.
For they're the only King own,
All others despise,
The King that towers above,

MINNESOTA Coal. Mr.. Hatch has kindly
presented US with specimen of the most
choice quality OF bitumInous coal, which was
found on Crow Wing river, north Of US about
l30 miles, tributary of the Mississippi. It
was found by man who had never before
seen any coal. He found a stratum of it un-
der projecting ledge, on the shore of Crow
river. We hear that the same description of
coal has been found on Rum river 1t Is
probably part Of the same coal bed. travers-

The SEcaET OF Success IN LIFE.-In no
department Of life do men rise to eminence
who have not undergone a long and dIligen'
preparation; for whatever be the difference
in the mental power of individuals, it is the
cultivation of the mind alone that leads TO dis
tinction. John Hunter was as remarkable
for his industry as for his talents, Of which
his museum alone formed most extTaordina-
rs proof; and if you look around and contem-
plate the history of those men whose talents
and requirements We most esteem, we find
that their superiority of knowledge has been
the result of great labor and diligence. 1t Is
an lll-founded notion to say that merit in the
long run is neglected. It's sometimes joined
to circumstances that may have little infiu-
ence in cOunteractlng It, as an unfortunate
manner and temper; but generally 1t meets
its due reward. The world are not fools /;
every person of merit has the best chance of
success and who would be ambitious Of
public appreciation, if it had not the power of
discernment.
