DOUGLASS REwARD-Verily the originator of
the Nebraska measure is having his reward. His
own constituents refuse to hear his justification of
the bill, and the anti-Nebraska men are sweeping
everything before them in the Congressional cleo
tons
Let men who seek power by means they think
will he popular, and know to be wrong and impro-
per, learn q lesson from Senator Douglass and Me-
braska. The Presidency was the anticipated re-
ward of the bill but now the Senator'S visions of
the glittering prize must vanish in air. He is
jected by his constituents and States hitherto
thoroughly Democratic, have reproved the Admin
istration for its support of the measure.
The people not to be made the dupes Of po-
litcal charlatanry. The men of the South are not
to be humbugged with the idea that the Nebraska
bill is Of any practical benefit to them. They al
ready begin to perceive it is Dead Sea apple-all
beautiful without all rottenness and ashes within.
The men of the North see in it only violation of
faith. They regard it as the infracton of sacred
compact. Who then, among the people will be

The animal is extremely delicate in shape though

the goats We learn that the meat is white and
delicate and is preferred in the parts of South Car
olina where they are reared to mutton. A herd
will protect itself against dogs; which constitutes
great advantage over sheep in localities where dogs
are troublesome. The question what animals and
plants may be acclimated in particular regions is
undergoing much discussion throughout the United
States, by means of which, and the experience to

YOUR HAND / TAKE IN MINE.
BY GEORGE p. MORRIS.

Your hand take'in mine, Willie,
And fancy I've the art
To read, while gazing in your face,
The records of your heart;
'Tis joy an honest man to hold,
That gem of modest worth,
BY me more priced than all the gold
Of all the mines on earth, Willie,
of all the mines of earth.
I've marked your love of right, Willie,
Your proud disdain of wrong;
! know you'd rather aid the weak
Than battle for the strong.
The golden rule-religion's stay
With constancy pursue,
Which renders others all that they
Can ever render you, Willie,
Can ever render you.
A conscience void of guile, Willie,
A disposition kind,
A nature, gentle and sincere,
Accomplished and refined,
A mind that was not formed to bow,
An inspiration high,
Are beaming on your thoughtful brow,
And in your cheerful eye, Willie,
And in your cheerful eye.
never look at you, Willie,
But with an anxious prayer,
That you will ever be to me
What now Pm sure you are.
do not find fault to chide,
A foible to annoy,
For you are all your fathers pride,
And all your mothers joy, Willie,
And all your mothers joy.
You're all that I could hope, Willie,
And more than deserve
Your pressure of affection now
/ feel in every nerve.
love you, not for fashions sake,
But for yourself alone;
And this is why your hand I take
So fondly in my own, Willie,
So fondly in my own.

A GENTLEMAN away off in Arkansas who had
been stopping at cross-country tavern about two
weeks, writes to a friend about the manner in
which "hotel affairs are conducted He says:
''The regulations of the house are written in a
bold round hand, and tackled on to the door of each
bedroom. The rules are rigidly enforced, and the
slightest deviation is met with the penalty. Here
they are:
II. Gentlemen will black their boots before leav-
ing their rooms they will not be admitted to
table without an extra charge of bit a meal.
2 Gentlemen going to bed with their boots on
will be fined quarter for the first ofense, four bits
for the second and turned out and sued for their
board for the third--the landlord holding to the
plunder.
3. No person allowed to call twice for the same
dish without paying an extra bit.
t. Gentlemen not on hand at meal times
cannot come to the table without paying an extra
bit
S. Any gentleman found going to the ladies'
rooms will be fined five dollars and perhaps turned
out as the case is aggravatng ..
6. All travellers expected to treat before leav-
ing the house-the landlord holding on to the
plumber until he comes out"

REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENT. = Lieutenant JOnn
Heath patriot of the Revolutionary aged ninety
eight years. died recently at Windsor, Broome
county New York. While Heath was at Bunker
Hill, the enemy at one time received from the To-
1ies in that vicinity drove of stall-fed cattle,
which they were pasturing just rise of ground,
at short distance from the American encamp-
ment, and opposite to where Lieutenant Heath, then
private, was situated as picket guard. Heath
upon discovering the cattle, unable to resist the
temptation, left his post, which was within range
of the British guns, and went and drove into the
American camp forty-our head of the enemys
cattle receiving, while in the act, the compliments
of the British in the shape of two twenty-four
pound shot, but twithout injury. On hearing the
report of the British guns, Gen. Washington dis
patched one of his colones to 1econnoiter who met
Mr. H. with the cattle, just as he had passed The
summit of the hill MIR H. related to the colonel
what he had done the colonel told him to go along
with his cattle, and he would take charge of his
post till he came back. He was absent from his
post only about half an hour Heath heard nothing
more in relation to his exploit, from his olcers, till
the next morning, when he was summoned to Cen
eral Washington's quarters. The General demand
ed to.know of him how or why he had dared to
leave his post! Mr.. replied that he knew he
guilty Of violation of his duty; but the tempta
ton strong that he could not resist it. Gen.
Washington reprimanded him, said he must never
be guilty of leaving his post again that he would
excuse him this time and directed Major Hum
phry to take down his name and Heath to leave.
In the course of that day, Gen Washington sent
him thirty-nine silver dollars and hind quarter Of
beef that weighed one thousand six hundred and
four pounds.-Bagh ghamton Dem.

RATHER SpIcY.-The editress of the Olive Branch,
published at Boston, having received communica-
ton from Nashville, Tennessee, inquirng whether
some female printers could be hired there to 90 to
Nashville, replied as follows:
every girl in Boston who is old enough to work
in printing Office, or any other office, has lover,
whom she would be just as likely to trade off for a
Tennessee article as she would be to swap him off
for grizzly bear. The idea of Boston girl, who
goes to operas, patronzes Juen's concerts waltzes
once week, eats ice cream, rides in the omnibus,
wears satin slippers, sometimes kisses the editor,
going to Tennessee, except she goes there as the
wife of of your frst-class citizens, editors
cepted, is truly ridiculous. Wouldn't a girl in a
silk dress, with lace-edged pantaets. and shiny
gaiter boots, look we'll trudging through the mud
and Hlire of Nashville to an old barn of printing
Office while, in one corner of the same room, two
old darkies are jerking away at an old ramage
press and in the other the editor is squirting to-
bacco JUICE over the floor! Wouldn't she be in a
nice fix when the editor and some great brute of u
fellow, whom he offended, got playing at the game
of shooting their revolvers the Office at each
others heads! Who would make the fire when
had run off, and the editor drunk! Who'd go
home with her dark nightsa Who would take her
out to ride Saturday afternoon, and go to church
with her on Sunday! No, sir, Boston girl won't
90 to Tennessee for love or money. She can get
enough of both nearer home.

WASHINGTON, April

WAsHINGroH, April 90.
The rumor thickens here that Col Forney
is to be hauled up during the ensuing week,
by Old Bullion or John Wheeler, or both, up
on various charges and specifications, for
impea chment. Great excitement is said TO
prevail in the kitchen cabinet, and that a
confidential agent has been sent To soften
down Col. Benton. As for John Vince err,
he Is nlractable, and il is useless to attempt
to do anything with him in the way of con-
citation. He says there is no use in trying.
The hards are not to be humbugged by the
Nebraska doings.
1t is also rumored here that we may expect
the early return of Soule from Spain, brimfull
of war. 1t is said further that with this ex.
pectation the Cuban Junta Of New York and
New Orleans are getting ready for an early
descent upon the island, and that George
Laws muskets are intended for their use
1t is believed now, that the President will
hold over the Lunatic Asylum Land bill in
his brooches pocket, if he does n t screw up
the pluck to send in veto. The Cabinet,
meantime, are about as harmonious as Bar
NUNS happy family. 1t is good thing that
their salaries were raised to eight thousand
dollars. They are he Id together by the CO.
hesive power of the eight thousand. They
squabblc and quarrel, but they hold on.
1t is thought that the House Nebraska bill
may be squeezed through this time, under the
operation of the previous question. Doubt
fully. Y. Herald.
