From the Baltimore Patriot
The French SpoIiation Bill.

The vote by which the Senate decided to take
up the bill would seem to indicate that il will
pass the Senate and it is to be hoped for the
good faith of the Government, that the inference
will be justified by the result.
That these claims are just against the govern
ment it is, as we believe impossible for any one
to deny who examines into the subject carefully
and without prejudice. The losses were incurred
by our citzens-the Government of the United
States assumed, in its treaty with France, the re-
sponsibility of those losses-and no payment has
vet been made account of them. These are
facts which have been demonstrated again and
again; and yet ffty-odd years have passed, and
the government of the United States have not
been just to its own honor, which was pledged to
the liquidation of these claims; just to its
own citizens, who, in all that time have suffered
many of them having gone to their graves in
want-privations and loss, because Congress
fused to do what was right
Have we not come upon better times? May
we not say that this Congress, disregarding ques-
tons of expediency, shutting out all fear of party
inhuences-if these are i'll any sense barrier to
the success of the measure--wll signaze its ses-
sion by the passage of this bill? The thought of
good deed brings with it pleasure which the
unjust may never have 1t may not excuse errors

cases but the good deed DONE stands by itself

to take this hope home to their own hearts?

NEW YORK WING LEGISLATIVE CAUCUs.-The
contradictory statements which have been pub
lished as to the number present and participating
in the proceedings of the caucus of the Wing
members Of the legislature at New York. which
on Wednesday last recommended Gen Scott to
the Wing National Convention as their first choice
for the Presidency, has induced the secretary of
the meeting to make public the following state
ment: ,....
GAS secretary of that caucus, wish to say
that l called the roll on that occasion that
there were present and answered to their names,
at that time and place, eight members of the
Senate and ffty-fve members of the Assembly
total sixty-three; that Seccn members of the
Senate and forty-three members of the Assembly
voted in the affirmative on said resolution, the
original lists of which have III my possession.
l have, since said convention, seen personally
eight member of the Assembly, who have au-
thorized me to say they concur in sentiment with
said resolution; and / understand from reliable
sources that two other members of Assembly
also concur in said resolution whom / have been
unable to see.
sIn haste, truly yours, II. p. HEDGES"
The number of Wing members in the egis-
lature is, we believe, about eighty Thirty
members, therefore, did not, for one reason or
another, vote in the convention.

GREAT SICKNESS IN HoLLIsTON ONE HUNDRED
YEARS AGo.-While on recent visit to the town
of Holliston, in Middesex, county, learned fact
connected with its earlier history which may not
be entirely uninterestng to some of your readers.
Between December IS, 1853, and January 30,
1854. the town was visited by what has appropri-
ately been called the Great Sickness. The symp-
tom of the disease, as described in the journal of
the then clergyman of the place, were, violent
pleuritc pains, fever, and difficulty of expectora-
tion which terminated in strangulation. During
the progress of the disease the mind OF the suffer-
er was wholly free from arrangement Death
succeeded every attack, but two, in the course of
three or four days.
The population of the town, at the time, was a
little less than 400. In the short space OF six
weeks, more than one-eighth Of the number died
Seven lay unbured one day, and ten on another
Few families escaped bereavement, and several
were entirely swept away by the plague. AL
though those in health employed their whole time
in assisting the afflicted they were not sufficiently
numerous to take proper care of the sick and dy
ing and to bury the dead
The most striking circumstances connected with
this awful visitation were the narrowness of the
limits within which it was confined, and the abb
sence of any apparent natural cause
A hundred yeals has passed away since that
fearful calamity. During that time the town has
increased in population six fold, and has become
noted for It's enterprise and for being the seat of
one of the finest academies in New England. And
it is a proof of the deep impression which that
event made upon those who survived It, that at
the distance of three generations, amid the noise
attendant upon the highest prosperity, nothing Is
the subject gilmore frequent alluson. Irareler.

FEEDING THE PIGEoNs IN VENIcE-The follow
ing extract from Mr. Weeds last letter from Italy,
describes curious custom.
At two o'clock, we went to the square to wit
ness the novel and interesting ceremony of 'icad-
ing the pigeons" Hundreds fpeople had collect
ed with the object The pigeons, or doves
were coming in from different directions, and
lighting about the windows and cornices of a mar
BILE palace, where they sat quite gravely till the
first sound of the clock of San Marco striking the
hour of two was heard, when the whole flock
simultaneously settled down upon the pavement,
under the window from which the seed was
thrown, and from which they have been fed, at
the same moment every day, from a period so re-
mote that ''the memory ofman ruuneth not to the
contrary"
To-day, we went again to the same place. The
pigeons began to collect quarter before two: evil
IDENTIFY as intent upon their dinners the same
number of children of larger growth would
have BEEN Other bells sounded few minutes
before, but not dove moved until the hammer
was heard on the clock of San Marco, when in
stantly every wing spread and the flock again set
tied to the pavement. While busily picking up
their food, dog gamboled round amongst them,
and children walked into the ring without disturb
ing them at ALL
Some say that the government provides the
food for the doves. Others say that lady, GEN.
turies ago. provided in her will for the feeding of
the pigeons; but none know when why the
practice originated.

Wanted-A hand to hold my own,
As down life's vale / glide;
Wanted-an arm to lean upon,
Forever by my side.
Wanted-a firm and steady foot,
With step secure and free,
To take its straight and onward pace,
Over life's path with me.
Wanted-a form erect and high,
A head above my own;
So much that might walk beneath
Its shadow DER me thrown.
Wanted-an eye, within whose depth.
Mine own might look, and see
Uprisings from guileless heart,
O'erIiown with love for me.
Wanted-a lip, whose kindest smile
Would speak for me alone;
A voice, whose richest melody
Would breathe affections tone.
Wanted-a true, religious soul,
To pious purpose given,
With whom my own might pass along
The road that leads to Heaven.

EntenlDerance.

Mr. j. Thomas Stevenson, OF Boston, IN re-
cent speech against the Liquor bill in the Massa-
chusetts House OF Representatives, put forth the
following elaborate picture of the evils of intem
perance.
::It seems to be almost work of superogation
to portray the evils of intemperance in connection
with the discussion of this BILL for the question is
not whether each and every one of US is ready to
do all that he may to shut up the fountains of those
evils. There is such question here. Such
question would receive but one answer,-it would
be beyond discussion, unworthy OF word
Portray the evils of intemperance! did sayl He
does not live that can tell the whole story of its
woes. Exageration there is impossible. The
fatigled fancy faters in its flight, before it comes
up to the fact. The minds eye cannot take in
the countless miseries of its motley train. No
human art can put into that picture shades darker
than the truth. Put into such picture every
conceivable thing that is terrible or revolving;
paint health in ruins, hope destroyed, affections
crushed. prayers silenced paint the chosen seats
of paterna care, of flial piety, of byothery love,
of maternal devotion, all, all vacant; paint all the
crimes of every stature and OF every hue, from
murder standing aghast over grave which it has
no means to cover, down to the meanest deception
still confident of success, paint home desert, and
shame tyrant, and poverty the legitimate child
of vice in this community and not its prolific
mother: paint the dark valley of the shadow of
death peopled with living slaves paint landscape
with trees whose fruit is poison and whose shade
is death, with mountain torrents tributary to an
ocean whose very waves fire; put in the
most distant background the vanishing vision of
blessed past and into the foreground the terrible
certainty of an accursed future paint prisons with
doors that open only inwards; people the scene
with men whose shattered forms tenanted by
tormented souls, with children upon whose lips no
smile can ever play, and with woman into whose
cheeks furrows have been burnt by tears wrung
by anguish from breaking hearts. Paint such
picture, and when you are ready to show it, do
not let in the rays of the heavenly sun; but illu
mine it with the gares of the internal fires. And
still you viii be bound to say that your horrible
picture falls short OF the TRUTH
