Riot in Cincinnati,

Bishop Bendini. the Apostolic Nuncio o
the pope of Rome, otficiated in the religious
ceremonials at the Catholic Cathedral, yes
terday morning and afternoon. The most,
violent animosity is entertained by the
German Society Of Freemen, agains, this
divine, and members of that association
assembled, about ten clock last night, to
the number five or six hundred at Free
mep's Hail." on Vine street above twelfth;
and after organizing and choosing their
leaders, marched in body down Vine
st. TO 9th, ard out 9Th 10 Plum, being in
the vicinity OF the residence OF Arch Bishop
Purcell, where the Pope's Nuncio is So
journing. as is supposed, with the intention
of mobbing the house, and doing violence
to the Nuncio's person, or at least to burn
him in efligy.
An in,imation Of what was 10 be done
was received early in the evening by Cap
tain Luken, Chief of Police. and after the
eight o'clock roll call he requested all the
police. both day and night. to remain and
await orders. No. man among them
knew the purpose for which they were de.
tanned, but silently obeyed the command
Word at length reached the Watch
House that the rioters were approaching
and by the Captains orders the men were
all stationed in front OF the Watch House
on either pavement. As the Freemen ap.
preached, they sci up dismal groan, &C
companied with the clangings Of most dis
cordant music, and at the word OF com
mand each policeman rushed forward ant
grabbed his man.
The scene which followed battles de
scription: for few moments the melee
was general; many pistol shots were fired
and shouts and eXecrations filed the air
The rioters soon fled, but were pursued
by the police, and over sixty captured ant
secured. Every cell in the watch house
was full of men standing upright. many o
them badly injured. Henry Carroll, po
liceman of the Cd Ward, was shot in the
leg. Our reporter could hear of no 9th
ers of the police being badly injured.
The riot was almost Immediately qnell
ed, and at the time of writing this article
all was quiet, although further violence
was anticipated.
The cause Of the existing animosity
against the Nuncio. is said 10 be in con.
sequence of belief that he ostensbly fa.
vored the liberty OF Italy, but really only
for the purpose of betfaying them, and
that, on one occasion, he caused one o.
them to be fayed alive. We understand

The Green Bay CWis.) Advertiser, Of

The Green Bay CWis.) Advertiser, of
the 9Th. relates the following incident:
Last week, while Master Charles Cotton
was engaged in the healthy exercise of
skating, on Fox River, he saw good sized
deer. with spreading antlers, lying on the
ice, making desperate efforts to get up and
run away. Charley quietly walked TO his
fathers house. took an axe, went back to
the scene of hostilities, put on his skates
and prepared for action. AS he approach
ed, the buck attempted to rise and pitch
into him, but Charley returned the charge
with well directed strokes from his weapon.
Once the exasperated animal succeeded in
getting up, but after four or five heavy
blows, the "stricken deer" lay lifeless at
his conqueror's feet. A noble trophy for
a boy ten years Of age, 10 bear away from
the field of conflict.

Father, you have a son, darling son. Tie
has faculties for good and for evil, and they
must act. Each capable of such intense ac-
tion that both cannot act on level, one must
be, in some measure, subseryient Your son
is now young he has no habits, no princi-
pies. no character. These must be formed,
and you have been appointed by Providence
to superintend and assist in this formation.
This you must do, whether you will or not.
The nature of the relation existing between
you and your son renders your non-partici-
patton in the formation of his character i'm
possible. ..s-t ....
Towards what course of life would you di-
rect his innocent footstep? What would
you have him become man in form only;
independent only Of good, with feeble, wav-
ering energy; his self-rcspect mere low,
disgusting pride! You can easily train him
for this, rs thousand have, and are being
trained, unless his mind is very far above the
commonality. Treat him as a machine, i'm
press it upon him that he is a nero tool,
and he will soon become such. Make him
feel keenly his inferiority, check all his aspi
rings, and like sapling bent to the ground,
he will soon learn to grow downward. But
if you wish him to become n strong-minded,
truth-loving, whole souled man, treat him as
man that is to be--as an equal Draw
out his better nature; strengthen all aspirinps
for that which is high and good. Teach him
to curb his strong passions, and to attain
that control which enables man to influence
his fellow-man Let him feel that he has
the germ of the man within him, which needs
only right cultivation to make it servicea-
bic to himself and mankind. Teach him at
all times to bring his actions and motives to
the standard Of right and right only. BE
sure that he feels confidence in you rs
sympathising friend in all cases. Never ele-
vate yourself or depresS him so that he can
only approach you with an effort. He has
his world of joys and sorrows, hopes and
fears, which although small to you, are all to
him. Encourage him to action place before
him some desirable object which he may
procure by self-denial and extra exertion.
Man needs something for which to labor;
why not he' Let him find by experiment
that there is something for him to gain by
right, or lose by wrong, and al inducement
to virtuous actions will be given him. Teach
him to think correctly for himself, judge for
himself, while young and under your care
and he will feel his own responsibility, and
will not be so easily enticed and deceived
when thrown upon his own resources. But
above all, early teach him to look upon God
as his Father, and Heaven as his home, and
the great object of his life here to do good.
Early teach him by precept and example to
love the Lord and keep his commandments,
and it shall be we'll with thee and thy house
to future generations.

NO. IS.
Which is the Happy Many

WE know man in Michigan who lives
on the interest of his money, and that Is only
$40 per annum. He has, it is true, a small
house with one room in it, three or four
acres of land, aud keeps cow, n couple Of
pigs, and few hens, yet he and his wife al
ways appear cheerful and contented. and
preserve respectable appearance on their
$40 per annum. 81
We know of q man in New York who ex-
pends $4,000 per annum for his household
expenses. He pays for gas light more than
the whole income of the Michigan man.
He makes annual holiday presents to more
than the whole amount Of the property of
the Michigan man. 1t costs him sum six
times as large as the whole income of our
philosopher to support single waiter.
We know them both very well, and we
think our Michigan friend by far the happi
est healthiest, and most enviable man.
They are both advanced in years. The
cheapncss of books and papers place abund-
ance of rational enjoyment in the power of
the countryman; an accumulation of physi-
cal ills, and necessity for intense activity,
deprives the citizen of calm and quiet enjoy
ment and reflection. The former, in the
probable course of events, will die of old apo
at ninety, the latter at seventy. Such is the
distribution of fhappincss and wealth.

Adam was farmer while yet in Paradise,
and after his fall was commanded to earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow. ..
Job, the honest, and upright and patient,
was farmer, and his endurance has passed
into proverbs.
Socrates was farmer, and vet welded to
his calling the glory of his immortal philoso-
ply. B.
st. Luke was n farmer, and divides with
Promethus the honor of subjecting the OK to
the use of man.
Cincinnatus was a farmer, and the noblest
Roman of them all. ..... H..
Burns was farmer, and the Muse found
him at the plough and filled his soul with
poetry.
Washington was farmer, and retired

quiet of rural life, and present to the world a
spectacle of human greatness.

Keep Cool.

Can any advice be more saIutary for this
raging weather? People, however, take diff.
ferent methods of keeping COOL Some do
so by swallowing an immoderate quantity of
ices, and. in the end, are warmer than if they
retrained from attempting to turn themselves
into refrigerator. Ii one could keep a
lump of ice nicely wrapped in flannel within
ones own private chest all the time during
the heat of these hot days, why one might
stand chance of keeping cool; but ice will
melt, as well as "love grow COOL" and when
theice ismelted, the reaction takes place and
the heat is greater than before. .',
Some keep cool by wearing woolen dress
es and thick cloaks, on the principle of what
keeps cold out, will keep heat out also
Others, on another plan from either. dress
cool and instead Of drinking ice water, drink
.tre 'oater" knowing that two fires never
meet. This system is pursued by some with
lmpunity; whether it serves to Keep cool or
not, IS doubtful. The Spaniards follow this
method, and when the thermometer is rag
ing at the baking point--which it generally
does from late in the spring till early in the
fall-they eat most of garlic, and peper, and
other spices. They are not q remarkably
cool nation, however, and just now many of
them are in danger of being peppered from
,oihtout rs we'll as within.
Our advice to keep cool is-keep in the
shade through the heat of the day, avoiding
all violent exercise; above all, do not attempt
'srsting-none but editors can stand that
most severe labor of hot day; and editors
being paid to suffer, can afford TO suffer-
Drink Plentifully of moderately cool water,
TO keep the pores open, and think pleasant
thoughts; avoid quareling with your wife,
and read the newspaper.-N. Y. Day Book.

How an Indian can Die.

A touching instance of this characteristic
trait occurred at the late engagement be-
tween small war party of the Chippewas
and greatly superior party of Sioux, near
Cedar Island Lake. The Chippewas, who
were ell route for a scalping foray upon the
Sioux villages on the Minnesota, here fell
into an ambuscade, and the first notice of
danger that saluted their ears was a dis
charge OF fire arms from a thicket Four of
their number fell dead in their tracks. An
other, named the War Cloud, a leading
brave, had leg broken 10y bullet. His
comrades were 10th to leave him, and while
his assailants were reloading their guns, at
tempted to carry him along with them to
where they could get the shelter of a tlickct,
short distance in the rear. But he COM
manded them to leave him, telling them
that he would show his enemies how Chin
pewa could die. At his request thew seat
ed him on a log, with his back leaning A.
gainst tree. He then commenced paint
ing his face and singing his death song. As
his enemies approached him he only sang
the louder and livelier strain, and when
several had gathered around him, flourish
ing their scalping knives, and scrcechne
forth their demoniacal ycIls of exuItation'
not look or gesture manifested that he
was even aware of their presence. At
length they seized him and tore the scalp
from his head. Still seated with his back
against large tree, they commenced shoot
ing their arrows into the trunk around his
mead, grazing MS esfs, neck, &c., ,intil they
literally pinned him fast, without having
once touched avital part. Yet our hero re,
manned the same imperturbable stole. con-
tinuing to chant his defiant strain, and al
though one of the number flourished his
rocking scalp before his eyes, still not SIN
gle expression of his countenance could he
observed to change. At last one of the
number approached him with tomahawk,
which after few unheeded flourishes he
buried in the captive's skull, who sank in
death with the song still upon his lips. He
had indeed succeeded well in teaching bis
enemies show Chippewa could die" A
few days afterwards they were taught how
Chippewa could be avcnged.--.St. Paul
