LEAN to Spout,

This is the first advice that female
whale gives its young. and it is just the
advice that every American mother should
give her boys. In no country in the
world is there such a field for finland
speakers as in the United States. A man
capable of stirring up multitude at a
mass meeting can reach any Office in the
gift of the people-beginning with a
comptroller of poultry and leading off with
the Presidency. In the present Congress
there are ffty-si1 Senators, forty three
are or have been lawyers, leaving only
thirteen for all other professions. Now,
why is this? Why should twenty thous-
and lawyers have eight times as many re-
presentatives in the Senate as the VIII ole
twenty five millions of other people? For
no other reason in the world than that
lawyers are generally good speakers
But why should good speakers be limited
to one profession? We know not of one
single good reason.
Every school should have defamation
club connected with it Boys of all classes
should be initiated in the art and mystery
of persuasion. With early training the
mechanic and farmer would become as
successful 'on the stump as gentlemen
who consume their oil in poring over the
old fogyism of Coke and Litttleton. To
be good speak, all that is required is a
first class memory and little manly con-
idence. The former can be acquired by
practice at any time; the latter, however,
can only be obtained by breaking the
ice during our school-boy days. Again
we say, learn to spout.

Couldn't Cure Him.


A good story is told, in an Eastern pa
per, of the treatment of drunken hus-
bond by his amiable spouse. After try
ing various experiments all TO cure drunk
enness, she thought of another plan of
making reformed drunkard of her lord:
She engaged watchman for stipula-
ted reward, to carry Philander to the
watch-house while yet in state of insen-
sibility, and to frighten him little when
he recovered. In consequence of this
arrangement Philander walked up about
eleven o'clock at night, and found himself
lying on pine bench in a strange and
dim apartment. Raising himself up on
his elbow, he looked around until his eyes
rested on man sitting by stove smo-
king cigar.
''Where am T. said Philander.
''In medical college," said the cigar
smoker
"What doing there?''
"Going to be cut up!'
GLOW comes that?'
"Why you died yesterday, while you
were drunk, and we bought your body to
make ANATOMY
ats lie-I'm not dead"
"No matter-we bought your carcass
from your wife, who had Alright to sell it,
forsit's all the good she could make Of
you. If you're not dead, that's no fault
of the doctors, and they'll cut you up
dead or alive" % RAJ
"You will do it, eh?' asked the old sot.
cay, to be sure we will, now, directly y
was the resolute answer. ~. .,t.s ~,
"Well, can't you let US have something
to drink before you begin?" ola
This last speech satisfied the watchman
that Philander was a hopeless case; and
as his reward was contingent on his sue
cessful treatment of the patient, he was
not little chagrined at the result; SO,
with no gentle handling, he tumbled the
irreformable inebriate out of the watch
house.

Cruelty in the NAVY.

The New York Tribune has a cores
pondent on board the United States Fri
gate Savannah, which was at the date of
the letter, Nov. 16, at Rio, South America
who thus details some of the infamous
substitutes that have been resorted to as
punishments in the navy, in lieu Of the
lash. He say:
"We have the very devil to pay on
board the last two or three days, in conse-
quence of the men getting drunk. They
have several new modes Of punishment
now (thanks to the mistaken philanthro-
ply of a few of our would-be popular
statesmen, in lieu of the seemingly more
barbarous one Of fogging. One mode is
to put man in double irons, (that is,
hands and feet) then lash his hands above
his head so his toes barely touch the deck,
and keep him in that position from one to
two hours, or as long as the first Luff
thinks fit, and if he does not like that they
gag him with an iron bolt Since fog
ging has been abolished the Government,
or at least its officers, have had built in all
their ships (on the berth deck } from three
to six cages of pine plank, with holes bor-
ed about every six inches, (similar to a
cage you would build for wild cat) to
let in justenough air to sustain life. Those
that we have on board this ship are just
forward of the Commodore's galley, in the
hottest position in the ship, and if man
wants foretaste of HI, all he has to do is
to go into one of them for an hour. He
cannot change his position, but must
stand up with his hands close to his side
until he is released, and then he comes
out as wet as a, drowned rat. They are a
first rate substitute for steam bath, and
think of petitioning the Government to
exhibit model of them in the Patent Of
fee in Washington, for the benefit of all
inyalids whose physicians recommend
warm baths on the Thomsonian principle.

Editingia Newspaper.

The following sensible remarks we
find in the National, Intelligencer, and
copy them for the benefit of whom it may
concern: Ira s
MANY people estimate. the ability of a
newspaper, and the industry and talent of
its editor, by the editorial matter it con-
tains. 1t is comparatively an easy task
for frothy writer to pour out daily col
umns of words-words upon any and all
subjects. His ideas may flow in one wishy-
washy everlasting flood, and his command
of language may enable him to string
them together like punches of onions;-
and yet his paper may be meagre and
poor concern. But what is the toll of
such a man who displays his loaded mat
ter largely, to tnat imposed on a judicious
well-informed editor, who exercises his
vocation with an hourly consciousness of
his responsibilities and duties, and de-
votes himself to the conducting of his
paper with the same care and assiduity
that sensible lawyers bestows upon a
suit, or a humane physician upon a pa
tient, without regard to show or display!
Indeed, the mere writing part of editing
a paper is but small portion Of the work.
The care, the time employed in selecting,
is far more important, and the tact of a
good editor is better known by his selec-
tons than any thing else-and that we
all know is half the battle. But, as we
have said, an editor ought to be estima-
ted, and his labors understood and ap-
preciated by the general conduct Of his
paper-its tone, its temper, its uniform,
consistent course, its principles and aims,
its manliness, its dignity and propriety.-
To preserve these as they should be pre-
served, is enough to occupy fully the at
tention. If to this be added the general
supervision of the newspaper establish
ment, which most editors have to encoun-
ter, the wonder is, how they find time to
write at all''

bounty land pay to Elizabeth Smith, who
served in the Mexican war under an as
sumed name.
Mr. Shields, from the committee on that
subject, reported resolutions ofthanks to
the rescuers of the passengers on the
steamer San Francisco.
The Nebraska bill was then taken up,
when Mr.. Wade made an able speech, in
which he Loldly denounced the attempt to
repeal the Missouri Compromise as a
breach of plighted faith, and quoted Mr..
Douglas course last session to prove that
he did not then regard the Compromise
of 1850 as having set aside the Missouri
Compromise. He said this measure had
been concocted during the last six weeks,
to serve mock political party ends. He
appealed to Southern men to act fairly
and honerably towards the North, and not
seek to repeal a measure because the
South had no further interest in keeping
up its provisions. He warned all that if
this outrage should be committed on the
rights of the North, torrent of indignant
feeling would be aroused which would not
be easy to meet.

senate's amendment to the bill regulating

To be very profound, it is necessary that
