HOUSE.

The refusal to lay Mr.. Doty's California re-
solutions on the table yesterday caused one Of
the most exciting days of the session. Some
Of the members comfortably arranged them
selves on the sofas for a snooze, while others
RECALLED themselves on the good things in the
Capitol Saloon.
At midnight the Speaker decided that the
civil day had expired and the House could no
longer act upon the resolution; an adjourn
ment took place, and a general scramble en-
sued to get out of the hall.
Mr.. Doty'S resolution is to the effect that
the Committee on Territories be Instructed to
report bill providing for the admission 0
California into the Union on an equal footing
with the original States, with the boundaries
and limits defined in the constitution, said bill
not to embrace any subject or matter outside
of California
After considerable discussion the yeas and
nays were called on a motion to lay the reso-
luton on the table, which resulted-yeas 20,
nays 12l.
Every pretext was then resorted to stave
off direct vote. The members from the
North and West displayed GOODNESS Of temper;
they were determined vote should be taken,
and that determination would have been eff
fected but for the unexpected decision of the
Speaker.

Il should know and remember that every medi

the difference in climate diet and habits of life pro-

manufacture medicine 10 cure our Diseases unless,
by long practice and observation among those dis

The Cohosh tMacrotys RdcemoSa) is medicinal

Crazy People,

1t is generally considered terrible calam-
ity for person to go crazy! There are very
few persons who are not wild infatuated, or, in
plain terms. MAD. unpon some subject or 9TH
ther. Some are crazy about politics, and some
about religion-some are crazy after money,
and some after wine and women-some are
crazy about unity, and some about trinity
some are crazy about banks, and some about
railroads; some are crazy about law. and some
about physic; some are crazy about their own
existence, and some about the existence oftheir
neighbors In fact when a man thinks con.
stantly and intently on a favorite theme, his
mind is apt to run into vagaries and he will
become, to all inteRts and purposes, crazy
about that which most interests him, while at
the same time perfectly sound and reasona-
bic on all other topics. When these vagaries
are INDUCED and courted by nervous irritable
persons, the mind becomes diseased, and deIir.

Gen. TaYIOr,S Will.

Gen. Taylor's last will is said by the Wash
ngton correspondent of the New York Her
aid, to have been made before the battle, of
of Monterey in l846. He made ample provis-
ion for his wife, giving her three large store
houses and a lot, and more than hundred
shares of bank stock, and six or eight slaves
in Louisville, Keetucky. To his son Richard
he gave his plantations in Mississippi and
Louisiana, and twenty thousand dollars. To
Mrs Bliss and Mrs. Wood he gave thousand
dollars each, and to the former then unmarri-
ed. several negro women. 1t was his wish
that the plantation should not be divided for
ten years, and from the proceeds of the crops
he directccted that his daughters should re-
ceive twenty thousand dollars each in adliii"n
to the sum before mentioned, Judge McGhce
of Mississippi was made his executor. lie
made provisions for the payment of security
debt of 81 900; he owed nothing on his own
account. He desired that bis servants should
be moderately worked and kindly treated
the old ones to be taken care of and made
comfortable.

The Turkish Empire.

A very interesting article appears in the
daily Advertiser, on the the present condition
of the Turkish Empire, showing the ameliora-
ton which it has undergone during the reign
of its present sovereign, and that of his i'm
mediate predecessor The article is presumed
to be from the pen of Mr.. Brown, who accom-
panied the Turkish Ambassador.
He says that standing army of the Sultan
is composed of about 10000 men, divided in
to six corps, composed and commanded wholly
by Musselmen. Another corps is now being
formed near Danube, on the Hungarian from
tier. Christians are exempted from military
duty by the payment of a tax. The Sultan's
navy is composed of from eighty to ninety
vnssels-of two three-deckers, Il seventy.
fours fifteen frigates, eight corvettes, twenty
nine brigs and schooners. six steameres. of
from 400 to 45o horse power, and fourteen
others of various powers, Some of the best
ofthese ships were built by Americans of
New York, the late H. R. Eckford, and F.
Rhodes.

Farmer n, of Newbury, was miserly old

dishonesty and he has been known to go so
far as even to step upon the line. will not
say he ever got fairly over, but he came so

A dispatch from kanesville, Missouri states
shat tremendous confagration has occurred
in that region, caused by the Omaha Indians,
who set on FIRE the dry grass on the prairie.
The wind was very strong at the time and
The flames spread with such rapidly that q
great many Of the fences, outstanding crops
and some buildings for miles around, were
envcl"pvI in one sheet of fire. The Indians
just previous to the confagration were discov-
cred in the act Of setting fire to the prarie in a
number places.
The Omahos inhabit a portion of Missouri,
territory some sixty miles above Fort Leaven-
worth. They are described as one Of the
most dangerous and trearcherous of the In
dian tribes, and will be likely to cause the
pioneer farmers Of the backroads great deal

Farewell of the sOui to the BODY.


Companion dear-the hours draw nigh,
The sentence speeds TO die. TO die;
So long in mystic union held,
So close in strong embrace compelled,
How canst thou bear the dread decree.
That strikes thy clasPing nerves from me2
To Him, who, on this mortal shore,
The same encircIing vestment wore,
To Him look to him bend,
To Him thy shuddering frame commend.
II have ever caused thee pain.
The throbbing breast. the burning brain,
With cares and vigils turned thee pale,
Or scorned thee when thy strength did fall
Forgive! forgive! thy task doth cease,
Friend! Lover!-let US part in peace.
That thou ddst sometimes clog my course,
Or with thy trifiing check my force,
Or lure from heaven nv wavering trnst,
Or bow my dropping wing TO dust,
blame the not; our strife is done;
knew thou vert the weaker one;
The vase of earth the trembling clod,
Constrained TO hold the breath Of God.
Well hath thou in my service wrought;
Thy brow hath mirrored forth my thought,
To wear my smile thy lips have gIoweG,
Thy tear TO speak my sorrow flowed;
Thine ear hath brought me rich supplies
OF varying tinGtured melodies;
ny Hdhus my pToDlteu uPeds nave doneS
Thy feet have on my errands run;
Yes, thou hast marked my bidding we'll,
Faithful and true-Farew W ell F arewellI
Go to thy rest A quiet bed
The earth with sweet aowers shall spread,
Where no more thy sleep may break,
With fevered dream-nor rudely wake
Thy weary feet. All, quit thy hold,
For thou arr faint, and chill, and cold,
And still thy grasp and groan and pain,
Do bind me, pitying, in thy chain,
Though angels warn me hence TO soar,
Where | can share thy woes no more.

Extraordinary Human CE1TiOsitfeRs
A Mr.. S. B. Knox has brought to Boston
boy and a girl, of the Kaanas, tribe of an
almost extinct race. They are described in
the papers of that city as most singular look
ing creatures. The boy is thirty-two inches
in height, and weighs sixteen pounds and
about ten years of age. The girl is twenty
eight inches in heightweighs fourteen pounds
and is supposed to be about IA years of age.
Their heads are not larger than a new born
infants, and they are almost destitute of fore
heads, while their noses are finely developed
straight and long, and project at well de-
fined angle. Their eyes are full dark and lus-
trous. Their heads are covered with strong
dark hair, which descen6s forward nearly to
the eyebrows. The face is very sharp, the
upper lip projecting, and the chin receding in
corresponding degree. Notwithstanding
the almost entire absenceof forehead, there's
not in the profile view the least resemblance
to the Simia tribe. They are said to belong
10 the surviving remnant of an ancient order
of priesthood, called Kaanas which by con-
slant intermarriage with its own cast has
dwindlsd down to few individuals, diminu-
tive in stature, and imbecile in intellect
Their heads and faces resemble exactly the
figures on the bas-reliefs in the temple ruins
described in Stephens Central America
They are orphans, and at the close of war
between two of the Aztec tribes, fell into the
hands af traveller named Hammond. They
are lively. playful, and affectionate, but all
attempts to teach them word of English have
thus far proved unsuccessful; they occasion
ally utter few gibberish sounds

Printers.

PfInicfSs
A true republican looks with sympathetic
interest upon all classes of men who earn their
bread by the sweat of the brow but of course
there must be vocations for which one has a
particular regard, and we confess we know oi
none more important, nor a class more gener-
ally useful, than that of printers From long
daily and constant association with them, we
have learned to look upon them as one large
family nervous jnyial, thoughtful, witty, bilious,
poor proud, wisgling, talkative-in relation to
whom we stand SIS Il sort of half-brother, or
second-cousin on Il long visit to them. There
they stand at their s-breathing machines,
magical -daugerreotyping, as it
were, the passing scenes Of i!fe's changeful
panorama, sending forth into the world the
worlds history Of itself, with such generally
accurate minuteneSS, such order and punctu-
allty, that the unadvised world conceive, if
they think anything about their benefactors,
that the toll is not only easy but amusing
the printer has such fine chance TO get the
first news
Favored race! the average duration of a
printers life is estimated at twenty-eight
ars!-Agreeable and healthy must be the
occupation that has such an effect upon the
system. A printer is literally a galley sLave,
though he is nominaly paid for his labors,-
What amount of wages will compensate him
for the loss of proper exercise, pure air and
reasonable sleep? How much gold will purge
the lead from his system? What ecstatic en-
joyment is there in his employment which, in
the round of his abbreviated years will compen-
safe him for the years he is deprived of? He
looks upon the fair vista of "happy old age"
as Moses viewed the land of promise-a vision
of beauty not his fortune to realize.
We really think that if there is anything
which an age ofintelIigence like this has to re-
proach itself with, it is neglect of the printers,
in view of their scanty rewards and their hope
less, refugeless, unhealthy drudgery. Emty
praises may be bestowed upon them by some
artful, political demagogue, and they may be
toasted at festivals, in a conscending way, but
words will not reward them, nor build an asy-
lum for the consumptive, nor put bread into
the mouths of the printer and his family, when
temporarily Or permanently thrown out of
work by dull business. or of the sickness re-
suting from his vocation. Hard life and i'll
rewarded. Boston Waverly Mag.

the following:
A LADY's JEsT-Wbile we were sitting at
dinner, the other day, with dozen of people
of both sexes, the conversation turned upon
Saratoga and its fashionable frivolities A
matron present, remarked that letter writer
in the New York E!--had lately thrown a
bomb-shell into the parlors ofthe ultra fashion
ables by giving minute descriptions of several
darling bellies whose style of dressing ap-
proaches rather too near the society costume
of mother Eve. "Ah!" said the speaker ex-
ulting didn't he take off thelow necked dress
es 90 "Tut tut" said witty lady who sat
near us, chat would be but poor way to
mend the matter!'' AT least one-half of the
company didn't see the force ofthe comment,
but it was very just one for all that.
