Ofthe Secretaries Of War, the south has
had twelve, aud the north fifteen.
OF the Secretaries Of the Navy, tle South
has had nine, and the north eleven.
or the Post Masters General, the south
has had five, aud the north eight.
Dfthe Attorneys General,the south has had
| fourteen, aud the north eight.
OF the Chief Justice ofthe Supreme Court
! the south has had three aud the north two
the south having that office fifty-one years
and the north five years. William Gushing
of Massachusetts was appointed Chief JUS
tice in 1896; but he declined the appoint
ment. He was then Associate Judge
OF the Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court, the south has had eighteen, and the
north thirteen.
Ofthe Speakers of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the south has had thirteen, and
the north nipe--ihe south haying that office
thirty -rine years, and the porth twenty-three
years. George Dent of Maryland held the
Office but five days, and Henry Hubbard
of New Hampshire aud George w. Hop
kins of Virginia, but one day each.
Ofthe Secretaries OF the Senate, the south
hgs had one and the north three.
or the Clerks OF the House Of Representa-
tivcs, the South has had four, aud the north
eleven.
II will be seen by the above, that so far as
the offices are concerned, the south has had
a preponderating influence in the affairs oi
the government.
Experience in legislation is quite as valu-
able as what is termed nutve talent or gen
ius. At the present day the south keeps her
statesmen longer in Congress than the north,
and they consequently prove an overmatcll
for those of the North. We should in future
select good men and true for Congress, and
keep them there, unless we are willing that
southern dictntion should continue.
The following nre some other curious po-
litical events OF the past:
The first vote ever given to Aaron Burr
for President, was given by South Carolina.
The first ever given to George Clinton for
the same office was given by Virginia and
the first ever given TO Samuel Adams was
10y Virginia. The first vote ever given to
james Madison and TO james Monroe, for
the Office of Vice President, was given by
New York. The first and only vote ever
given 10 Chief Justice Marshall for the same
office, was given by Connecticut. The first
vote ever given TO Martin Van Buren for
that Office, was given by Georgia. Henry
Clay has been defeated for the Presidency
three times by his own party. john Ran
doiph predicted that he would be four times
a defeated candidate for the Presidency
His prediction was either more or less than
true.
Virginia has furnished five Presidents, N.
York two, Massachusetts two, Tennessee
two, Ohio one, Louisiana one-Virginia hav-
ing that office thirty-six years,-lacking one
month,-of the sixty.two years Of our Con-
sttutional existance.

Subterranean Lake in Illinois,

The editor ofthe Chicago Tribune lately
made an excursion upon the Chicago and
GuIena Railroad. From his description Of
the incidents Of the trip, we extract the fol-
lowing account of Subterranean Lake:
Eight miles beyond Elgin we come to a
natural curiosty-a subterranenn lake, situa-
ted upon the very summit level between the
two rivers. A circular area of from three 10
four hundred acres, perfectly level, and form
ing complete basin with n bordering of
hillocks ornamented with growth of oaks,
marks the place and imparts the peculiarly
which il possesses over the general features
of the country before reaching it. The di-
rect line of the road lay across the level
space, distance of sixty rods, and during
the winter an embankment of some five or
six feet was thrown across it, on which to
place the track. Upon the approach ofwarm
weather il was observed that the embank-
inent began TO settle, and by the time the
frost had entirely given way, the road for the
whole distance across had disappeared. The
company were then compelled TO construct q
temporary track around the edge of the ba-
sin upon which the cars now run, while a
strong force of hands was detailed TO ill up
the original track. This has proved to be no

found that the depth Of the bed Of the lake
varied from twenty to thirty-seven feet, and
upon computation, it required fifty thousand
cubic yards of earth to build up an cmbank-
inent to the surface, the cost of which will
not fall much, if any, short of $1,000.
On reaching this place, the cars halted
and the company walked across upon the
crust of the lake. The turf yielded aud
shook beneath our feet for the distance of Sc,
yeral yards around On each side of the
track, as far us the filling in had been com
plcted, the crust had been elevated severa

fluid mass beneath, presenting here and there

blessed industry! Mar, Alb, and Sol, are en-
gagged with the schoolmaster around the big
table, lighted by home. made candle they

the happy family group-lbe cat occupies
the top of the blue-dye tub, which siu,ids in
one corner of the fireplace and Ol1 Bose
sleeps quietly under the table. Directly, ard
before any sound is audible to the human
ear, he gets up, walks out into the long
entry and gives loud sharp bark at the out
side door and stands waiting the approach
ing step. Soon satisfied that the new conner
is friend, he retires again to his repose, aud
three or four boys that look as though they
might be brothers to those already describ-
ed, 80 much are they dressed alike, enter aud
draw roud the table with the others aud the
schoolmaster. These are from neighbor-

been so much engaged with the labors of
the farm, they have been unable to attend
the school in day time, but ure determined
TO lose none of the evening opportunities to
deep nlong with their class.
These will make honest intelligent, in-
dustrious farmers. The old folks welcome
them heartily, and the young ones are re-
joiced at their arrival. The old lady inquiries
why in tho world their mother did not come
along: and Mary, the kind-heurted Mary, is
sorry to hear that il is because Sarah is not
so well, and mother is very busy getting
their new clothes done so they can go TO
school, as soon as they finish picking apples.

the platform; therefore, to keep the platform
dry and secondly, to preserve this drainage
water which is very cold, and can be used
for making butter. Then lay over the whole
platform bed of straw six or nine inches
thick. Straw is q sufficient and a conyen-
lent non-conductor, and ice wrapped in
straw Is tolerably well protected from exter-
nal influence. Upon the straw he'd mike
your stack, building it with sides perfectly
upright. The sides are to be thus perpendi.
cular, in order that whatever melts may flow
at once into the trench, and not soak into
aud spoil the ice which remains otherwise
unmelted. 1fthe stack happen to be long,
partitions of stray should be inserted at con-
benieut distances, for the protection of one
part while another portion is IN use. The
stack being erected in this manner, coat
round the whole outside of il, and thatch il
with straw defence af eighteen inches
thick. Ii you build the stack of snow, build
in the same manner, but take care to batten
il we'll down. A stack of ice or snow, so
made and so defended, will remain good
through the hottest summer, and will obviate
the necessity for any ice house. Remember
that all this will be done in mid-winier,
when your laborers have comparatively moth
ing TO do; when your horses are eating their
heads of, aud your cart-tires are rusting
from idIeness. Dickens Household Words.

Every Farmer Ills own Ics-hOusc.

Ice may be stacked-plain English ice, or
snow well heaten down into mass, after
the Roman fashion, which answers for all
economic purposes every bit as well. This
is the mode of stacking ice or snow which
has been found to succeed most thoroughly
at Chatsworih. In the first place, let the
owner Of the ,,aisy farm select, not the cool
est aud shadiest spot, as he inevitably would
do without better instruction, hut the openest
and sunniest, because driest, bit of ground
he can fnd-the SUMMER the better. Al
Chaisworth the first trials were made in sha-
dy places, and proved far less satisfactory,
because dry place is required, and the dry
ness which the sun occasions more then
compensates for the temperature OF It's beams.
The platform having been judiciously selec-
ted, dig all round il a sufficient trench which
is TO cOntain the water that will, more or less,
inevitably drain from the completed stack I;
let the bank of the trench be lower on the
outer trench, aud, il necessary, a syphon
tube may be put in to drain of excess The
object ofihe trench is--frstIy to prevent any
OF the drainage water from spreading over

PROSPECTUS.

This work is conducted in' the spirit OF
Lttelps Museum of Foreign Literature,
(which was favorably received by the public
for twenty years. but as it is twice as large,
aud appears so often, we not only give spirit
and freshness TO il by many things which
were excudedby months delay, but while
we are thus extending our scope and gather
ing greater and more attractive variety, are
able so to increase the solid and substantial
part of our literary, historical, and political
harvest, as fully to satisfy the wants vf the
American reader.
The elaborate and stately Essays Of the
Edinburgh Quarterly, and other Reviews;
and Blnckwood's noble criticisms on Poetry,
his keen political Commentaries, highly
wrought Tales' and vivid descriptions Of r,i-
raj aud mountain Scenery aud the couiri-
buttons TO Literature, History, and Common

ling Examiner, the judicious Athencum, the
busy and industrious Gazette, the sensible
and comprehensive Britannia, the sober aud
respectable Christian Observer; these nre
intermixed with the Military and Naval remi-
nscences of the United Service, and with
the best articles of the Dublin University,
New Monthly, Frazer's Tait's, Ainswor,h's,
Hoods, nnd Sporting Magazines, and OF
Chambers admirable Journal. We do not
consider il beneath our dignity to borrow
wit and wisdom from Punch; and, when we
think II good enough, 10 make use of the
thunder of The Times. We shall increase
our variety Of importntions from the CONT
nent Of Europe, and from the new growth
of the British Colonies.
We hope that, by 'winnowing the wheat
from the chaff,' by providing nbundantly for
the imaginaiion and by large collection of
Biography, Voyages, Travels, History, and
more solid matter, we may produce work
which shall be popular, while at the same
time il will aspire to raise the standard of
public taste.

Western Farmers Insurance Company,
OF .NER LISBON; OHIO.

This Company was organized, and commenc-
ed issuing Policies the Rrst OF May, 1850.
And, although it has been in operation but
about eight months, we are able to report as
follows
Whole number Of Policies issued, 1000
" amt of property insured, $l,6l6,l00
" amount Of Premium Notes, 8,479
" Of Cash Premiums, 6,89l
of losses, 760
Balance of Cash Premiums above losses, 8, l3l
From the above it will be seen that we al
ready number moie members than most Of the
Mutual Insurance Companies that have been in
operation for tho last ten years, and have more
Cash on hand than any other Company in the
State on so small an amount of risk. Tho as
tonishing success with which this Company has
met is good evidence that it is one of the best
institutions in the country; and it is believed
that it stands unrivalled for hbcrality and fair

western Anti-SIavery Fair.

From the history of the last two years, il
evident that there has been no pere n
the Anti-Slavery enterprise, that has deninn-
ded more persevering activity than the
present.
When Slavery, alarmed by the agitation
that has been created in the public mind
against it, has monopolzed the Federal gov
ernment, and enlisted the greater part of the
priests and politicians in its defence and
while the great body of the northern people
either advocate the enforcing of the iniqui-
tious fugitive slave law, or regard it with
profound Indifference it is of the utmost inl-
portance that Abolitionists should be unit
ring in their exertions, and unceasing in their
efforts TO eradicate the monster curse of sla-
very from the world.
But in order to effect any object, it is ne
cessary to use the requisite means, and the
undersigned believe that Fairs are very efiec-
tive as a subordinate nslrumentality.
They not only assist greatly in procuring
the ncedful pecuniary means to prosecute
the cause, but they bring numbers of per-
sons who are opposed and those who are in
different within an Anti-Slayery influence
during the time they are held /; and the So
cial intercourse connected with them, serves
to keep aive the zeal and energy of those
engaged in them.
We therefore earnestly invite all persons,
without regard to any distinctions, TO mite
with us in holding FAIR in SALEM COM
menceing OIL the 3lst of December and con
tinung through the following day. Wohope
there will be a variety of articles prepared
suitable for New Years presents.
To the women we would say send us
every variety of wearing apparel and all
kinds Of fancy articles. To the Farmers, lei
us have the products of your farms and dai-
ries, and to the Mechanic and Artisan give
us articles of your handiwork. In short,
every thing that is useful or beautiful, that
will subserve the wants or pleuse tho fancy
will be most thankfully received. The funds
arising therefrom shall be devoted to the
dissemination ofAnti-SIavery Truth, through
the agency of the Western Anti-slavery
Society,

Forever in their onward sweep
With startling plunge, and solemn roar.
Bat Ger the eternal foam and spray
A thousand glorious rainbows spring;
Bright as the heavenly hues that play
Upon blessed seraphs wing.

In stern and lofty grandeur rolls;
With truths majestic thanders fraught,
Startling the quiet Of our souls;

And wit and fancy bind their ray
