owe no allegiance and ask none--to

Boil, branches Of the Legislature
have been engaged for a few days past,
considering the merits Of the new vol
ume Of revised statutes compiled un-
der order Of the last legislature by the
Hon U. b. Phillips. OF course there
are objections 10 them and like all
former revisions they 'nay need revis
ion again. TO look back on the past
history Of our tax ridden people, !.
would seem TINT laws have ever been
made with an eye singularly directed
TO prospective revision and one cod
ification il scarce made, before another
is called for. II may be safely said
that eacl, new revision costs The peo-
pie n twenty thousand and if this
we're all, it would not be matter for
the growing Cynic TO complain Of /;
but In our social relations, the confu-
sion engendered 10y the ccmplexity Of
law, is not to be estimated in figures.
We ar. over burdened with laws
codes and commentaries which seem
to multiply for no hller purpose, Than
to give lawyers employment, and con-
fuse the honest and simple minded peo
pie. II would seem At first glance,
that as society advances IN civilization
and refinement, that the civil and 20.
liiical relations Of man to mar, should
become more simple and be better un-
derstood but not so for the very
reverse Of this is fact. Il is useless
10 ask nova. days What is tho law"
for it has become 20 burdened, with
acts, and acts to amend acts, that no
one knows--not even they who make
IL their sole study. There is altogcth-
er too much special legislation---too
much done by body called annually
together at an expense Of a HUNDRED
thousand" that could be better and
more Enthusiastically done by one or
two acts Of general application.
Our laws as they now are, may well
be compared to an ocean Of books and
papers, words, and commentaries on
words; in which after lifetime o.
graphing, a man may by chance find
one single trutl'--may fish up fact,
that costs him when he gets hold Of it.
his hook, line and bate. Il may very
safely DO said that nine out Of ten per-
sons who 'go to law" as the Phrase is,
do SO. to gain some undue advantage,
and perpetrate some wrong. This
should not be. But we dispair Of ever
seeing better condition in our day
The newicodifca'ion Of outlaws made
by King and others in 1852 is scarce
dry on the shelf before we have an.
other; which il not yet passed upon,
because Of objections. The fact is, we
need no Qualifications. The acts OF
the legislature should be brief and
simple, and instead Of filing volume
Of 400 pages in two languages they
should be written in short hand--in
one language and never exceed forty
pages.

Had they had. tho sayceity (which Is

Simple Remedies.

Cotton, wet with sweet oil and
paregoric, win relieve the ear-ache
very soon.
Black OF green tea stepped in boil
ing milk, and sweetened with loaf su-
gar, is excellent for the dysentery.
A good quantity Of old cheese is
the best thing to eat when distressed
by eating too much fruit, or oppressed
with any kind Of food. Physicians
have given it in cases of extreme
danger.
Blackbarries are extremely useful
in cases of dysentery; to eat the ber-
ries is very healthy; tea made of the
roots and leaves is very beneficial, and
a syrup made of the berries is still
better.
Wortleberries, commonly called
huckIeberries, dried, are a useful med
icine for children. Made into tea
and sweetened, they are very benef-
cial when the system is in a restricted
state, and the digestive powers out

Salt for Horses.

A person who kept sixteen horses,
made the following experiments with
seven Of them, which had been accus-
toned to eat salt with their feed:
Jumps of rock salt were laid in
their managers. The Jumps, previous
ly weighed, were examined regularly,
to ascertain what quantity, weekly,
had been consumed; and it was re-
peatedly found that whenever these
horses were fed with corn they took
two ounces; and whenever the horses
were fed with new hay, they took six
ounces per day. This fact should con-
vince US of the expediency Of permit
ting our cattle the free use Of salt at
all times, and it cannot be given in so
convenient form as rock salt, as it is
much more palatable than the other
in a refined state, and by far cheaper.
A good lump should always be kept
in a box by the side of the animal,
without fear that it will ever be taken
to excess.
