ITEMS OF NEWS.

Busnos hwes.--We have advices from Mon
teyideo to May ist Affairs at La Plata were
quiet The Brazilian forces were positively 10
enter Montevideo on the lst of May, and 1t was
rumored that President Flores had gone ont I'd
meet them.
At Buenos Ayres there had been slight
attempt at revolution, but it was soon quieted
Several of the leaders were arrested and ban
ished. Tho general feeling was quite favorable
to the present Government.
Havana --Adyiccs by the Crescent City state
that the authorities Of Havana warmly and
cordially endorse the Presidents proclamation,
warning persons against entering into combi-
nations to aid filibustering against Cuba.
Honduras The Governor Of Honduras has
given his approval to the Inter Ocean railroad
Nicaragua has declared her Independence.
Later accounts from Brazil state that the
Brazilian forces would enter Montevideo about
the ist of May.
Frightfd Tragedy--A terrible tragedy oc-
CURED at Millville, Massachusetts,, on Saturday
night. Alexander Hewett, in n fit Of jealousy,
shot his own wife and q man named Owen
Brown, to whose house she had fled for protec-
ton. He then committed suicide by taking

Soon after the election In Washington for
Mayor, Mr.. Letcher, of Virginia, asked the
unanimous consent of the House to introduce
the following resolution
\ Resolved, That the Committee for the Dis
trict of Columbia be instructed to inquire into
the expediency Of 80 amending the charter OF
the city Of Washington as to abolish the sys-
tenn of voting by ballot, and substitute the
mode Of viva voce voting therefor"
Az unanimous consent was not given, the
resolution was not admitted. Whether it was
intended to counteract the mischief apprehend-
ed from the Know Nothing organization, or to
rebuke the citizens Of Washington for the de-
feat Of Mr.. Maury, an adherent Of the Demo-
cratic Party, the movement was bad one.
II is easy to say that the use Of the ballot is
unmanly: valuable only to towards; that every
man ought to be willing that his vote should
be known to the world A very pretty theory,
but it 30 happens, that it ignores human ma
ture and the force of circumstances.
If nobody had to eat the bread Of depend
ence, if absolute federation were the law OF
every country, if there was no such thing as
prescription for opinions sake, the theory
might work well enough. But, when the Ia
borer may lose his daily bread, the operative
in factory his place, the clerk his Office, the
religious devotee the favor Of his spiritual
guide, by voting, viua voee, in accordance with
his honest conviction, the Legislature is bound
to secure to him the safeguard Of the Ballot.
The Ballot viii protect his independence, and
battle the espionage and the prescription to
which otherwise he would be exposed.

SETTLEMENT or KANSAS AND NEBRASKA
Many Of the frontiersmen in Missouri and Iowa
are now preparing TO cross tho line into the
new Territories. Those going into Kansas in
tend TO take slaves thither. Meanwhile, at the
East an emigration fever is getting up by men
who want to settle the Territories ON Anti-Sa-
vary principles. We have not the least doubt
that Nebraska viii be a free Territory, and no
great doubt that Kansas might DO also, IL the
Anti-Slsvery people At the East would act with
a hundredth part Of the vigor with which they
talk.

10 The Methodist Episcopal Church South
has recently expunged from the Discipline the
rules condemning Slavery. This i could not
do, il those rules had not been there. Yet its
quarrel with the Old Church was because Of
its Observance Of those rules. We believe il is

all laws should be implicitly obeyed, even
though enacted by the ohicanery Of knaves, and
enforced by the violent arm Of tyranny.

"Dr. Jenner, who conferred tina, blessing

sons are generally aware. There were
farmers 10 his neighborhood whose cows
while they drank the pond water, were
rarely free from red water or sweled nd
ders; and the losses they sustained from
these causes, together with the hume rous
abortions their cows suffered, increased
to an alarming extent. One of them a,

drank had something 10 do with produc-
ing their disorders, sunk three wells in
different parts of the farm and pumped
the water into troughs for the cattle
His success was gratifying: the red wa

renovated animals increased both in
quantity and quality. Other farmers
followed the same practice; aud in less

THE FROG.

OF all the funny things that live
In woodland, marsh, or bog,
That creep the ground. or fly the air,
The funniest is the frog
The frog--the scientificest
OF Natures handy work
The frog that neithe walks or runs,
But goes it with jerk.
With pants and coat all bottle green,
And yellow fancy vest,
He plunges into mud and mire--
In all his s Inday best;
When he sits down he's standing up,
AS Paddy O'Quinn once said;
And for convenience sake, he wears
His eyes on top of his head.
You see him sitting on log,
Above the "vasty Deep"
You feel inclined to say, "old chap,
Just look before you leapp
You raise your cane to hit him Oh
His ugly looking mug;
But ere you get it half way up,
A down he goes KERcHUG.
