GIVE ONE DAY TO THE MEMORY OF
WASHINGTON.

MEssRs. EDITORS In your excellent
and spirited little daily Of this (9th) date
| find the following brief notice:
WAsHISGToN NATIONAL MoNUNENT.-Tbe
members of the Minnesota Legislature, have
resolved to give one days per diem to the
Washington National Monument.
This is capital. 1t speaks volumes for
the patriotism of the members of the Min
nesota Legislature. 1t sets an example
worthy of imitation by grave legislators
everywhere, and especially by Senator's
and Representatives in Congress.
The birthday of Washington is ap-
preaching. l propose that each Senator
and Representatives in Congress relin.
quish his pay for that day to the Monu-
ment. 1t will be beautiful and appro-
pirate tribute to the memory of Washing
ton. The example once set will be fol-
lowed by the Legislatures of the Nation.
until the cap stone is placed on the mag
nificent pile that a grateful people are
now raising in this city to the memory of
the first soldier, the first statesman, and
the first patriot the world has ever pro-
duced. This idea was advanced some
year or two since, and the late George
Watterston undertook to carry it into prac-
teal operation. But the want of plan,
as often happens in greater designs, de-
featcd the idea. Ipropose that the treas
urer Of the monument fund send to each
member some such paper as this:
The undersigned, Senator's and Rep
rcsentatives in Congress. agree to relin-
quish our pay for the 22d day of Febru-
ary, 1854, to the Washington National
Monument"
Many Senator'S and Members, I am
certain, will sign such a paper with
cheerfulness; and whatever others lnay
do, you may rely on the ready subscrip-
ton of at least one SENATOR.

COMPETITION Is TIE LIFE OF BUSINESS
Ayear or two ago, the Congregationalists
undertook to raise a subscription OF
$4,000, to aid in the erection of places
of worship in the new settlements, and
elsewhere. They succeeded in raising
the amount, and something additional.
Next, the New School Presbyterians
emulatirg this example, and desiring to
surpass it, undertook to raise Sl0O, 600
Tor similar purposes, and are approach
ing the accomplishment of their object
The Old School Presbyterians now follow
suit, and are about to raise $l00, 900 for
church extension. Thus, these three de-
nominations, differing in name, but not
much in doctrine, will make up an az.
gregate of a quarter Of million dollars,
in the course of two years OF so, for the
extension of church accommodations in
connection with their respective organi-
cations. Although UNCONVENTIONAL zeal
may have something to do with all this,
yet it cannot be doubted that it will re-
suit inmuch good.-Jo,rnal of Commerce

A REMEDY FOR THE VINE DIsEAsE.-Tt
is doubtless well known to most of our
readers that the vinyards Of Southern
Europe and the Madeiras have been blight
ed by microscopic acarus, the '.Didium
Tuckeri," !" and that the price of wines,
raisins, &C., has been considerably raised, ,
Ii has, however, been aseertained that
the use OF manures, rich in iodine, ena-
able the vine to resist these destroyers.
In certain districts of Spain, decomposcd
seaweeds are ordinarily used as manure.
In those parts in which the amount of
iodine In the soil may average LOCO 900,
the vines have entirely escaped.

RULES FOR EscoRr1NG LADIES.

The Washington correspondent of thu
New York Herald, in long homily or
the conduct of ladies in The canital
among other things, says:
Never, or very rarely, offer to carry 9
lady's shawl or parasol, or put your hand
on her shoulder or round her waist (as j.
so often done) in assisting her out of the
carriage, or into her seat. To delicate
woman all such clapping and clawing is
the most insuferable rudeness. The
proper way when you alight, is to offer
your lett arm as support for the lady
right hand, and to hold your right hand
IN readiness, should the exigencies OF
skirts, &c, permit her taking it with her
left. In ascending a staircase, keen side
by side with the lady, but do not be too
ostentatious in offering your arm. lest in
attempt to take it She neglects the
management of her skirts, steps oa he,
dress, and either falls or tears 1t Out at
the waist.
lfyou attend two ladies, place the one
next you who is entitled, either by rank
or preference, to the post of honor-but
ON no account whatever walk between
them. A man with q lady on each arm

by lady. At table, a gentleman and

Ii the guests are also two, then you place
your lady guest between your wife and
yourself, while the gentleman takes the
other end of the line, leaving the ladies in
tie middle, The logic, as well as the
convenience of all these little arrange
ments, will be suggested by a single
thought-and how much awkwardness.

ance' would be avoided by careful oh
servance of these simple rules.
There is one practice among gentlemen
at theatres, concerts, &C., which ought to
be condemned and tabooed as a monstrous
barbarlsm that is, leaving lady alone
once or twice in the course ofthe evening
and going out to "tale a drink" This
detestable habit is purely American, and
it certainly is slight which no lady OF
spirit ought to endure. AS to chew
OF course no gentleman can do that in the
presence of ladies. Another dissraceful
thing is the way in which ladies sit all
evening with a gentleman's arm pressed
closely around the back of the neck, in
manner which, anywhere else, would be
called downright hugginc.

ARSENIC EATERS. Styrian meas.

ARSENIC EArERs.-The Styrian peas
ants, says Professor Johnston, eat arsenic
as the Chinese eat opium. They eat il
for two specific purposes-to acquire
plumpness and freshness of complexion,
and to improve their :. wind" so as to
enable them to climb long steep noun
tains without difficulty of breathing.
And, strange to hear, these specific pur-
poses are attained. The young poison
eaters are remarkable for blooming COM
piexions, and full, rounded, healthy ap-
pearances. The peasant, after dissolving
a slight particle of arsenic in his mouth,
ascends heights with facility which be
could not otherwise do without the great
est difficulty of breathing.
