ENGLAND's HUMILIATIoN.-No disaster that
England's arms could sustain in the war
against Russia, remarks the New York Sun,
would be half so great humiliation rs is
the visit of Louis Napoleon to Windsor Cas-
tie by invitation of Englands Queen and
Ministry. 1t is not the parpenu character of
the present Emperor of the French that
makes the event so humiiating, but the base
ness of his personal character, trumpted
most loudly throughout the kingdom by the
British press within the past three years. II
Englishmen do not feel shame on the occa-
sion of this visit, il will be because the pride
and manhood which were once their boast
have ceased to be national characteristics
Haughty Albion would not recognize the In
perial title of the Great Napoleon, and her
ministers and officers insulted him in his cap
tivily by the mode in which they addressed
him. Now they bow low before the fore
sworn adventurer and destroyer of French
liberty, whose throne rests upon the single
merit that he is the "ncphew of his uncle"

sW-"A Clear Conscience is sometimes
sold for money, but never bought with it,
Nay, instead of saying sometimes, we should
rather say in ninety nine cases out of every
hundred, and even that is but a small ratio.
"Thee must mir it" as the old Quaker c0un-
selled his too honest protege in regard to
getting along in the world, "thee must mix it,
Thomas, else thou wilt fail again" Thomas
took the advice, tried again-mixed duplicity
with his honesty, and came out rich The
old Quaker was right We needn't talk of
quacks and quack medicines-the whole of
trade is of the same kidney, a patented sys-
TEN of lying and deceit-making society a
universal eprosy. Who or what is to deliver
us from such a state of things! Can anybody
tell us, with anything like certainty? In vain
is it to reiterate, 'What doth it profit man
If he gain the whole world and lose his soul?"
Our people only laugh at such an expression,
and call it old fogyism! Such is the truth
styled in our day, with all our pretensons.

NATURALIZATION LAWS IN MANE.-The
Legislature of Maine, which recently ad-
journed, passed two acts relating to naturali-
zation which contain some important
changes. One act provides that no person of
foreign birth shall vote in the State unless he
shall, within three months at least before the
day of election. exhibit to the regularly con-
stituted authorities of the town or city in
which he resides his naturalization papers,
and the authorities shall enter his name in Il
book, to be kept for the purpose, together
with the date of the issue of the papers and
the court by which the same are issued. The
authorities are not to enter his name in the
book, nor enter his name in the check list, IL
they are satisfied that the naturalization pa.
pers are not genuine, or that the person pro-
ducing them is not the person to whom they
were issued. Another act annuls the natnr-
alizaton power of the courts of the State,
and declares that no court of the State, nor
any functionary of any court created by the
authority of the State, shall hold or exercise
any jurisdiction in the administration Of the
laws of Congress known as the naturalization
laws, nor shall any court taken cognizance of
any alien to be admitted to become a citizen,
to make any record or grant, or issue any
certificate or other document or paper, where
by any alien shall be naturalzed or made n
citizen of the United States. These acts have
been approved, and are now in full force.

A CLERICAL ScAMP.--The Cincinnati En-
quirer makes some startling revelations in
regard to the doings OF a clerical scamp who
rejoices in the name of The Rev. John Howard
Wilson. 1t appears tlat he was engaged to
be married, at one and The same time, to eleren
of the lambs of his flock. The Enquirer says:
"The manner which led TO the discovery of
his multiiarous engagements was, that n
couple of the betrothed met by accident in n
fashionable dry goods establishment in this
city. After mutual recognition, they pro-
ceeded to examine various fabrics and make
purchases for the approaching nuptials. In
the course of conversation, they made mutual
confessions of the contemplated marriages,
and discovered they were engaged to the
same man. A fiinting exhibition Of course
followed. The disconsolate danses return
ed without their PURCHASES to the quiet village,
where they speedily proclaimed the vilany of
the rascalIy pastor, who, getting wind that all
was discovered, made tracks between two
days during the past week.
"Sinee his exit it has been discovered that
he some time ago forged draft on Mr.. Elliot,
OF the Methodist Book Concern, which was
honored. No tidings have been heard of him
since his disqualification, but we presume he
will turn up under another name when he can
discover convenient field to reap a harvest by
playing upon the credulity of the susceptible
feminines who have a penchant for love and
sanctity."

New STYLE OF Pocket PIcKING.-On Sat.
urday night last passenger on the up train
of the C.. c. 81 c. railroad, between Grafton
and Cleveland, was relieved of his pocket
book containing 1915, in an entirely novel
way. lie was occupying a seat alone, when
a stranger who had been sitting by the stove,
came to him and asked permission to sit with
him. This was readily granted, and the
stranger who was eating lozenges, reciprocal
ed the courtesy by sharing them with the first
occupant of the seat. The latter felt nau,
seated by the lozenges at first, but soon fell
asleep. When he awoke he found the s.ran
ger gore. Mentioning the circumstance in
the omnibus, he was asked whether he had
examined his pocket-book. He had not, and
on searching for it could not find it. No trace
of the thief has been discovered. b..

OUR CUBAN TROUBLES.

The Washington correspondent of thu
New York Courier, who is generally reliable
says that there sis no longer any reasonable
doubt that serious discussions are in progress
in the Cabinet, relative to the course to be
pursued towards Cuba; and that Col Davis
Secretary of War, and Mr.. Dobbp, Secretary
of the Navy, are represented to be in favor OF
immediate and decisive measures. Also, that
President Pierce incines towards their policy y
1t is further added that the Southern advo-
Gates of immediate annexation declare that
now is the most favorable moment for strik-
ing Il blow that has occurred for many years,
or that can be hoped for during many more,
nasmuch as the Naval Allies of Spain are
fully engaged in the war of the East The
National lntelligencer, which is not apt to
take the alarm without sufficient cause, speaks
of go desperate game now on foot for party
or mercenary objects, or both combined, in
cooperation with foreign malcontents which,
unless promptly frowned down by sound
American sentiment, will be pushed even to
the plunging of the country into war" A
Washington correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce says: ...
"a party, and strong and increasing one,
has risen 10 this country-whose cry is war
for Cuba. The President is daily and urgent
y importuned, to assume at once hostile
position, and there is too much reason to fear
that he is about to yield.
"As to the 'outrages,' they are all mere pre-
texts for the main object of war for Cuba"
"But the mischief has not been done yet,
and perhaps will be wholly avoided. If Eng
land and France We're convinced that the
policy of the Ostend manifesto is our fixed
national policy, it would furnish to them
strong motive for patching up peace with
Russia, in order to be the better enabled to
sustain the rights of Spain in this hemisphere.
On the other hand, the continuance of their
war with Russia will serve to embolden our
government to strike at once for Cuba. 1t is
not unlikely that the President has been led
by Mr.. Soule and Mr.. Buchanan to believe
that by some hostile demonstration he will,
without war, be enabled to purchase Cuba"

COMPLIMENTARY TO THE CHARLEsro,

COMPLIMENTARY TO THE CHARLESTON
PREss.-The citizens of Charleston and dSouth
Carolina are constructing an important rail
road northward from Charleston, called the
Northeastern Railroad. The work has so far
advanced rs TO require two locomotives fo-
distributing rails, timber, etc. The names o.
these two engines have been called the
"Courer" and the "Nercury" after the two
leading papers of Charleston, as an acknowl-
edgment of their hearty co-operation in using
their columns freely to further the interests
of the road. This appreciation of the servi
ces of the press speak well for the inteli-
gence o. the company.
s8- When the summer of youth is slowly
wasting away in the nightfall of age, and the
shadows OF the past years grow deeper and
deeper, and life wears to its close, it is pleas
ant to look back, through the vista of time,
upon the sorrows and ielicities OF our earliest
years. If we have home TO shelter, and
hearts to rejoice with us and fresides, then
the rough places of our wayfaring, will have
worn and smoothed away, in the twilight of
life, while the sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more beautiful
Happy indeed, are they whose intercourse with
the world has not changed the tone of their
hoier feeling, or broken those musical chords
of the heart, whose vibrations are so melod-
Gus, so tender and touching in the evening of
the age. '

SPRING WHEAT.

Owing to the present and prospective high
price Of wheat, any thing relating to its culture
and increase can but be Of interest TO orr rea-
ders, hence We insert the following letter from
Pennsylvania subscriber:
EDS. o. Cur. Seeing the inquiries made
Of you in regard to spring wheat, cheerfnlly
send you what know Of it practically. Two
years since, my brother living in Illinois, sent
me barrel Of -four made from Rio spring
wheat, which on trial | found to be equal 70 our
Double Extra from selected wheat This cal
led my attention to it, and the following win
ter, on my return from a VISIT West, brought
home three bushels for seed, which sowed a
bout the middle Of March, on corn field with
out blowing having fist cut and burnt the
stalks, and hanoWed it twice previous TO SOW
ing and twice afterwards.
Isowed the bushels on ef acres, and har.
vested AZ bushels. On having il houred, !
got 81 lbs. 70 the hushel, and the bread was
found to retain its moisture longer than tha
made from winter wheat.
The reputation Of spring wheat flour ha
been greatly injured in Eastern markets, by tht
fact that until within few years, the majority
Of the Western mills have been greatly defec
tive and to avoid that unpopularity my broth
er, who is a miller, writes me they invarabl
brand all good spring wheat -four as havn
been made from winter wheat.
II any Of your subscribers should send t
their friends West for this wheat, tell them t
get it from the farmers before it is mixed i
market, and get either the Rio, Italian or Can
ada Club, as the Black Sea and Poland ar
quite inferior to those above mentioned.

Good Horses Wanted.

Tue Improvement Of horses is subject that
receives too little attention. The cheapest sire
is often used, and almost every worthless jade
of a mare is used as breeder, when colts or
horses are in good demand
In many cases, . colt of an excellent race
would cost, in the beginnug,not more than ten
or twelve dollars extra and this would fre.
quently add fifty or one hundred dollars to the
value Of the full.grown animal. Good blood
stock will sell, at maturity more than twice as
high as a poor breed: Then it would be good
economy TO raise the best races only even il tho
extra cost, in the beginning is equal to the ex.
pense of keeping the young animal until he is
fit for labor.
Why is 50 little attention paid to horses by
our agricultural societies, and why are so few
seen at our cattle shows, while the horse is sell
lingin the market at higher price than any
other animal7 We seldom see more than half
dozen horses at any Of our shows, and frez
quently there is not one on exhibition This
shows deficiency somewhere. Either sufi
cient encouragement is not given for good hor-
ses, or there are but few animals worthy of he.
ing shown for premium.
Tho very high price of good horses should
encourage every one who raises this stock tc
pay great attention to the breed. This woulC
be economy. lie should exercise intelligence
and act upon the principles of science, in tn,
beginning, and not depend wholly on hard Ia
