REMEDY FOR HoyES.-The Ereder-
ick Examiner saws that Mr.. John p. CAL
lion, dairy farmer of that neighbor-
hood, believes himself to have discover
ed an efFsctual remedy for hoven, or
bloat in cattle, an affection very common
at this season Of the year. His plan is
to open the mouth of the animal and pull
its tongue forward quickly three or four
times to its furthest tension. This, he
says, produces instantaneous relief So
simple remedy is well worth attention.

PASSAGE OF THE NEBRASKA BILL
After . very exciting and protracted
struggle, the Nebraska and Kansas bill
was passed by the House of Represents
tives. at II o'clock on Monday night, BY
a vote Of 113 to 100. Of the MARYLAND
Representatives, Messrs. Sellers and
Franklin were absent; the others voted
in favor of the bill. .....
The bill as it passed the House is the
same that previously passed the Senate,
with the exception Of the Clayton amend
ment, preventing unnaturalized citizens
from enjoying the right to vote in the
Territories-''that amendment says the
Unien, shaving been stricken out in ac-
cordance with the example furnished in
the bill erecting the Territories Of Wash
ington, Utah, and New Mexico"
As the bill has been amended, it will
have to bs again acted on in the Senate !;
and the concurrence of that body, it is
said, will be given without delay.

An Eccentric Will.

I Mr. Railing, of New Hampshire,
England, Was among the victims of
the late Railroad accident, between
Brighton and London. His heirs,
after having paid him the customary
funeral honors, did what all heirs do
in similar cases, opened the will of
the deceased, to ascertain what share
each was to have in his posthumous
liheralities. As he had never given
la penny to either of his relatives,
during bis lifetime, they expected to
be the richer, now be vas no more.
One may imagine the surprise caused
by the first line of the will:
''This is my will and testament
| give and bequeath all my goods,
present or future, movable or i'm
movable, in England or on the CON
tinent, to that Railroad Company on
whose Road have had the happi-
ness to meet with death, that blessed
deliverance from my terrestrial pris-
on"
Further on, the testator gave his
reasons for his bequest. The idea
had taken firm possession of bis
mind that he was destined to die u
violent death, and the most desira-
bic one in his view was that caused
by the explosion of locomotive
He travelled, therefore, constantly
on the Railroads in England, Bel
gium and France. There was not
station where he was not known. All
the conductors were familiar with his
peculiar costume. He had narrowly
escaped death several times. Once
he was shut up in a car under the
water; another time he was in the
next car to the one that was shat
tered, and he described with the
greatest enthusiasm those terribls
accidents, when he saw death so
near, without being able to obtain it.

Tastes Differ. |

In a lecture on what he has seen
abroad, Wendell Phillips observes:
In Italy you see man breaking
up his land with two COWS and the
root of tree for a plough, while he
is dressed in skins with the hair on.
In Rome, Vienna and Dresden, if you
hire man to saw wood, he does not
bring horse along. He never had
one, or bis father before him. He
puts one end of the saw on the ground
and the other on his breast, and ia
king the wood in his hand, rubs
against the saw. It is a solemn fact,
that in Florence, a city filled with the
triumph Of art, there is net single
augur, and if carpenter would bore
a hole, he does it with red-hot po-
kerl This results not from the want
ofindustry, but of sagacity Of thought.
The people are by no means idle
They toll early and late, men, women
and children, with an industry that
shames labor-saving Yankees. Thus
he makes labor that the poor may
live. In Rome, charcoal is principal
ly used for fuel, and you will see a
string Of twenty mules, bringing lit
tie sacks of it upon their backs, when
one mule could draw all Of it in cart.
But the charcoal yender never had a
cart, and so he keeps his mules and
feeds them. This is from no want of
industry, but there is no competi-
ton.
A Yankee always looks haggard
and nervous, as though he were cha
singa dollar. With us money is ev-
erything; and when we go abroad, we
are surprised to find thas the dollar
has ceased to be almighty. Ifa YAM
kee refuses to do job for City cents,
| he will probably do it for q dollar, and
will certainly do it for five. But one
Of the lazzaroni Of Naples, will work
no more that day if you offer him
ever SO large a sum. He has earned
enough for that day and wants nc
more. So there is no eagerness fol
making money, no motive for it, and
everybody moves slowly.

A True Story.

| C. F. Clarkson, former editor O
the Indiana American, who is nov
travelling in Tennessee, narrates the
following story in letter published
in the Brooklyn Qnd. Democrat:
"Let me recits to you the true
| history of a man whose farm we
passed over yesterday. About if.
teen years ago Presbyterian clergy
man of New York had wayward
son. Before he was seventeen he be-
came SO reckless and unruly that his
father could not control him. He left
for the wicked city of New York,
where he became a clerk il drink
ing saloon, but his character was too
bad to be retained there. He next was q
bar-keeper in q theatre, but was soon
dismissed. lie went lower and still
lower, until be slept in empty cellars
and on the Wharves of the city, a
perfect nuisance and disgrace to his
race. At this stage of his career,
an. old college mate determined be
would hunt him up and make one
more effort TO save him. He went to
New York, and after week of dill
gent search, with the aid of the po-
lice, be found him. He washed and
clothed him, took him back to the
country, and by every inducement
that could be held out to him, per-
suaded him to try to be man. He
made the effort, and was successful.
They both determined to come to
Tennessee to teach school. They
soon reached here, and with the high
recommendations they brought, soon
obtained good places. The reclaimed
son Of the Presbyterian clergyman,
within six months after his arrival, |
marriedan orphan girlworth $4,000
in cash. She had q younger sister
and a brother who each had equal
The sister soon after died, |
leaving one-half of her estate to our
hero and his wife, and the other half
to her brother, thus increasing his
estate to 100000. When the Mexi-
can war broke out the brother enlist

and his wife, in case he never re-
turned from the war. He, like many |
others of our noble youths, was

by advance of lands and increase of

He is Coming.

The crescent moon goes up the blue.
His beam betrays each flower;
The distant spire looms up to view
Beyond yon castles tower.
Haste, dearest, to the cot of love-
Thy coming await;
The deepening shadows seem to prove
That thou, my love, art late.
Our baby, ina, rests her head.
And slumbers on my knee;
She watched the ripples as they sped,
While 1, dear, watched for thee.
I've oped the little wicket wide,
And all is ready quite;
! wait the loiterer, and bide
His coming with delight.
Old Tower starts! What sees he low?
Ah! footballs greet my ear;
see bold and noble brow
A manly voice I hear.
HES COMING! Ina. wake, my child,
= In dreams no longer roam;
But tune thy voice to accents mild,
To greet the loved one homo.
