GREELY TURNING Know NoFaINa.-IGreeley
since the late election, appears to be in the
political market. In an aiticle on Sardinia
he applauds the late acts oftbat government
against the church of Roma aind says:
AT any rate. an immense iieal progress
has been achieved in Ss.rdiRS Yfsm ls4F>to
1855, and this can bc said Of no other country
in Europe. Darkness prevailed within ten
years since. and now light gimmers in all d.
rections. The political power of the priest
hood and of Rome is met openly, with energy
and decision. 1t is already sh,ken, and will,
we hope, soon be uprooted. The temporal
authority and interference of the Pope in the
internal affairs of Sardinia, which had existed
for centuries is greatly curtailed. The priest
hood are brought under the action Of the
general laws of the country; the large church
possessions are returned partly to the nation
and used for better purposes-such as public
schools; religious equality, thing yet un-
heard of in Italy, is recognized; and the
priests and bishops who oppose the new laws
and foment resistance and outbreaks among
the people. are suspended in the exercise Of
their functions and tried and imprisoned
All this has been more than sufficient to gall
the Pope, to irritate bigoted Austria, and
even Louis Napoleon. The lawful acts Of the
Sandman government the Pope has answered
with eifete Vatican thunders-suspension
hard words and menaces Of accommodation.
But these weapons rebound and prove harm
less.

ties, may produce death. A simple solution
of salt in water, after the same length OF
time, does not produce the same effect. The
poison acts as n local irrtant, exciting violent
intestinal congestion and inflammation. 1t
likewise increases the secretion Of the skin
and Kidneys, and exerts direct effect upon
the nervous system, giving rise to trembling,
loss of sensation, convulsons, &c. Expert.
ments were tried with it in the Veterinary
School, upon horses, dogs and pigs. As
brine is sometimes used second time for
picking and for other purposes, these facts
should be remembered

being invited to tea party, requested per.
son who unhappily sat near him, to give some
information respecting its use. at is very
ingenious instrument" said the cruel wag,
"which has been lately invented, for the pur-
pose of blowing ones nose. 1t is now in use
in genteel society, and it is expected that the
disgusting custom of using the fingers will
be altogether abolished" The sugar.dish
was handed around; the unfortunate "lion"
seized the tongs, and the polite part of the
assembly were scandalized at the outre appli,
cation Of the instrument, and the tremendous
explosion which followed.

The GRAPE OF CALFoRNIA.-The grape
crop of California is said to be very large
this year. Last year there were shipped to
San Francisco from Southern California not
over 500 tons Of grapes; whereas this year il
is confidently believed the shipments will
reach 1900 tons, exclusive of 100000 gal
Ions of wine which will be manufactured n
Los Angles. The grapes at San Francisco
average from 10 to l2c. per pound to tn,
trade, and from Is to 25c. at retail. The
most extensive arrangements have been made
at Los Angles for the mandatory of the
juice of the grape.

FuSNY MIsTAKE.-A short time since, a
lady took passage in the cars on the Cincin'
natl, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad. She
put her ticket in her dress pocket, where she
had several other articles, and, seating her.
self, became earnestly engaged in conversa-
ton with friend. The conductor soon came
around for tickets. When he camo to this
lady, she drew from her pocket what she sup
posed to be the ticket, and, without looking
at it, offered it to the conductor, ami eontiIu-
ed talking; but, after extending It for short
time, and no not taking it, she looked up, and
discovered that she was offering the conduc'
tor fine tooth comb.

shown, by the inventor ard patentee, Mr.. w
II. Towers, an improved horse shoe, which
seems to accomplish all that has been wanted
for the comfort and safety Of that useful
creature-the horse. On the ends of the
shoe are movable steel springs that relieve
the animals limbs from the shock Of striking
the ground. 1t has also moveable corks that
can be slipped into place when the ground is
slippery, by the driver, in minute. 1t is the
intention Of the patentee to dispose Of the
rights for the various sections Of the United
States.

WHY DIDN'T THE AMERICAN PARTY

The editor of the New Orleans Crescent
who has been good deal bored by cores.
pondents inquiripg why the American party
did not carry Louisiana, takes his text
from one of the letters, and thus dis

PAPER PLANT.--Under this head, the Mi.
neral Point Tribune publishes an account Of
newly discovered plant from Mrs. Beau.
mont, of Arena, as follows:
u discovered two years ngo plant that
yields both cotton and flax from the same
root, and believe am the first person that
ever cultivated, spun and knit from ii. ! am
persuaded that any article that will make ~
good cloth rs can be made from this plant,
will make good paper; hence call it the pa.
per plant. 1t can lie planted in the sxPring,
and cut in the fall or winter. It bleachss
itself white as it staRds,-and viii gold al
least three or four tons 10 the ncre.
"From single root that transplantcd
last spring, there grew twenty large stalks,
with three hundred and twenty pods, (con.
tanning the cotton,) with Mt least sixty seeds
in each. From this root l obtained seven
ounces of pure cotton, and over half pound
OF flax. 1t is n very heavy plant, and grows
form six to seven feet high"
The Tribune adds that it has seen several
samples of the cotton and flax, prepared from
