-TuE LEGIsLATURE meets next week
on Thursday. The people have done the
wore of electing o Governor, aud thus re-
lieved the Legislature of that duty. The
House ought 10 organize without delay,
and proceed IL msiias res. Every body
expects short session. aud they have good
reason so TO expect. If the anti Nebraska
majority show party jellousies, preindiccs
and a disposition TO monopolizc "thc Of
fees" they will misrepresent the wishes of
the people.

1t is commonly believed that during
the early periods of the world the lives
Of its inhabitants were mare youthful

yards, and the age of almost thousand
years. But the accurate and rational
Investigation Of modern philosophy has
converted the supposed bones of giants
found in different parts of the earth, in-
to those of the elephant and the rhinoc-
eros and acute thcologists have shown
the chronology at the early ages was
not the Same as that used at present.
Some-partcularly Ilcnslcr have
proved with the highest probability
that to the time Of Abraham the year
consisted of only three months; that it
was afterwards extended to eight and
that it was not until the time of Joseph
that it was made to consist of twelve.
Those assertions are, in acertain degree,
confirmed by some Of the Eastern ma
tions, who still reckon only three months
to the year and, besides it would be
altogether inexplicable, why the life Of
man should have been shortened one
half Immediately after the food. Ii
would be equally inexplicable why the
patriarchs did not marry till their six
tieth, seyentleth. and even hundredth
year but this difficulty vanishes wher
we reckon these ages according to the
above mentioned standard, which, will
give the twentieth and thr,ieth year
and consequently the same period al
which people marry at present
The whole, therefore according to thi'
explanation, assume different appear
ance The sixteen hundred years befor,
the food will become four hundred anC
fourteen, and the niue hundred year
(the highest record) which Methusel'
lived, will be reduced to two hundred

o. One Of the difficult thngs-thers
are several of tham-in the conduct of Il
newspaper is to decide upon any gcn
eral rule for the exclusion Of advertise
mcnts. The illegalty is not always
sufficient reason. 1t is illegal to take
over six per cent, interest, but we do not
hesitate to publish the cards of brokers,
whose business it is to negotiate paper at
the market rates. We are Of opinion
that what are called gift enterprise"
and which are but another mode Of lot
tery, arc illegal, but we advertise them.
We suppose that threefourths Of tho
patent medicines-and half the genuine
are hurtful, but if we should adopt e
rule to exclude all that were hurtful, 1t
would amount to an endorsement Of all
that we published. There is one class
Of advertisements that stand by them
selves, and that our correspondent quite
improperly confounds with any of those
that We have referred to;--advcrtisc-
mcuts Of an indecent nature, intended,
under various lretcxis, to pander to IL
centiousness These We never mean to

E3T An exchange paper suggests
the probability of similar Preslden-
tial election in 1886 to tina. which
took place in 1924, when the Con
grossional caucus system exploded,
and there was a general revolution Of
political parties. There may be some
resemblance in the number Of candi-
dates, and it is not improbable that
the choice Of a President may finally
be devolved upon the House Of Rep
rescntatives, in 1857, as it was in
1925. But in the character Of the
gentlemen voted for, We venture to
say there will be marked difference.
In 1924 the Presidential candidates
were JonN Quincy ADAMS, ANDREW
JACKSON, WILLIAM II. CRAWFORD,
Henry CLAY, and JONI c. CALHOUN.
We should like to know how long a
time, and how many conventions
would be required to select five such
men, when it becomes necessary to
agree upon suitable persons to be run!

CoMposr FOR FEuIr TREES Fruit
troes must be fed, if You would have
them thrive and bear. Decaying leaves,
or the scrapings from the forest, form
one of tho best Ingredients for compost
designed for any kind of fruit trees. Mr.
Downing, a distinguished fruit culturist,
and former editor Of the llorticulturiSt,
gave it as his opinion that the best com
post adapted for general use with fruit
trees is that composed Of swamp muck,
or the black decayed vegetable matter
to be obtained from low grounds, mixed
with wood ashes Rt the rate of five bush-
els of fresh ashes, or twice the quantity
of leached ashes to wagon load. This
furnishes not only the requisite vegeta-
blc matter but also those minerals es-
sential to tho production of inc fruit
This compost he would modify as fol-
lows to adapt it to different varieties of
fruit trees.
For Apple 7rccs.-To every cart load
of muck and ashes mixture, after it has
lain for fortnight and two bushels Of
air Stacked line.
PcaJ Irees.-To every cart load of
the muck and ashes mixture, add bushel
of ground or dissolved bones, and two
bushels of leached ashes.
Plum Trees To every cart load Of the
muck and ashes mixture, add half a bush

Of salt.

the muck aud ashes mixture, add half a

ROBIN TURNING WHITRFRoM FEAR.

ROBIN TURNING WHITE FROM FEAR.
A man in Lockrort, n. Y, has
tame robin, which, until recent IN
cident, has been a beautiful singer.
1t was kept in the same room WIN
parrot, which escaped from the cage
few days since, flew across the room,
and alighted on the cage Of tho robin.
The robin was very much frightened,
aud since that time has never sung a
note, and what is still more singular,
its feathers are gradually, turning
white.
