intoxicating drinks within that State At Spring
field some genius has hit upon novel way Of sup
plying his customers with the critter in defiance
Of the law. Thus:
1.-The premises consist OF room divided by q
partition into two apartments. Upon entering the
first apartment, square opening, and it is the
only one is discovered Several feet from the ground
in the partition wall. Immediately before this
opening, in the second apartment, number Of
standing upon table. Upon picsyune being
dropped into of these glasses the table begins
to turn upon its axis, and, by the time il has made
a horizontal revolution, the glass 10 filled with the
liquor indicated, and stands in its original posi-
ton"
The mayor and marshal Of the city have oxam-
incd said premises closely. without being able
to find any "man, woman or child" acting as
salesman, or Of discovering the means by which
the table, is turned. And up to tho last accounts
the thing was still in operation.

FipELIry.-Ncver forsake a friend. When enc
mics gather around--when sickness falls on the
heart-when the world is dark and cheerless--is
the time to try true friendship; the heart that has
been touched will redouble its efforts when the
friend IL sad or in trouble. Adversity tries true
friendship. They who turn from the scenes of dis
trcss, betray their Hypocrisy, and prove that in
terest only moves them. Ifyou have friend who
loves you, who has studied your interest and hap
him feel that his former kindness Is appreciated,
that his love not thrown away. Real fidelity
may be rare, but exists in the heart. Who has not
seen and feltits power' They only deny it's worth
and power who have neither loved friend or la
bored to make him happy. The good and kind,
the aRectionate and virtuous, and feel the hca
venly principle. They would sacrifice wealth and
happiness to promote the happiness OF others, and
in return receive the reward of their love, by sym
pathizng hearts and countless favors, when they
are brought into distress and adversely.

There is less anxiety in the public mind in rela-
ton to the threatened invasion of the "patriots,"
within a few days, and there is more disposition
among the people to give credit to the Government
of the United States for sincerity of purpose in
checking the progress Of the expeditions fitting out
for Cuba; although there is still more or less Of
easincss, especially in the country, where intelli-
gencc. from the nature Of things reaches the peo-

there is lack of funds in the treasury, which it
would have puzzled oven the present Incumbent,
with all his skill and experience to replenish and
it will be still harder task for his successor, who
evor no may be. The expenses of the country for
the past year, as you may well conceive, have
greatly increased but am told. by respectable
authority that the efficient force of the army is not
greater at this moment than before tho arrivals Of

chocra and the subsequent expiration OF service of
some, and sickness of others.
