Peace Negotiations at Vienna.
The Washington arrived yesterday evening
AZ this port, bringing four days later intelli-
gence from Europe. The main interest of her
news Is concentrated upon what has transpired
OF the proceedings Of the Vienna Congress
AT first view the reports prevailing Of the
progress already made, Tor II must be recol-
lected that but little OF an authentic character
IL known on the subject, would lead to the In
ference that a satisfactory conclusion to these
negotiations would soon be arrived at. The
Russian envoy is said TO display q strong
desire 10 come 70 an understanding, and IL Is
even stated that he has received instructions
TO make very great concessions sooner than
allow the conference 70 break up without
having completely settled the basis OF future
peace. On their side the allies are reported to
be willing to waive the condition OF the razng
Of the fortress OF Sebastopol, for the alleged
reason that Austria has expressed her deter
mination not 10 afford them the cooperation of

LEGISLATIVE TYRANNY-PRoPosED RELIEF
FOR NEW YoRK.-The Prohibitory Liquor law
carried, the Police bill on the point of be-
coming a law, and other evidences of the firm
intention Of the western parts Of the State to
rule the city according to their own narrow
views, the question suggests itself to every
mind: what must New York do2
The city and some Of the adjacent counties
differ notably In temper, population and pur-
suits from the western counties. West and
north, good deal Of the old sourness Of Pu-
ritanism prevails. Men like hard stringent
laws, deciding how long coat tails shall be;
and have little sympathy for the progressive
classes which innabit the rest of the world.
In the city, on the other hand, the people have
cosmopolitan tendencies. By mixing with the
world, they have rubbed off most of their rough
edges. and have come to be tolerant in most Of
their views, and liberal in their opinions.
Hence OF course Q collision between the two
sections Of the State: ending, as under present
arrangements IL must in the supremacy Of the
North and West and the helpless subsection of
the city, and in the passage of laws like the
Name Liquor law, which, though possibly ex-
ceilent Tor Auburn or Utica, or Canandaigua,
are obviously absurd for the city of New York.
This unsatisfactory state Of things might be
set 10 rights by q new division of the State.
Suppose New York we're divided, and the city
with Long Island and the river counties as
high A. Hudson we're added TO New Jersey:
would not that bea gain to both partiess There
Il much more affinity between the people of
New jersey and those Of this city than between
the latter and the jewellers in Utica and Rome;
and there might be q chance Of deyising laws
that would suit the former, while the latter
Jeff wholly to themselves, might prescribe not
only thsir dIiDkables but their estables, dress,
habits, AVID any thing else they please, by sta
tute. New York would then grow up with her

HOME AND FRIENDS.

Oh, there's power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it;
Norneed weroam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it;
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found us;
For life hath here no charms so dear,
As home and friends around US.
We oft destroy the present Joy
For future hopes-and praise them,
Whilst flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raise them!
For things afar still sweeter are,
When youths bright spell hath bound us;
But soon we're taught that earth has nought
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When Hopes last reed is shaken,
To show. you still, that come who will,
You are not quite fOrsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
From Friendships altar crowned us,
'Twould prove the bliss if earth were this,
Our home and friends around u.s.

DoN'T Crow TOO MUcHl-No Shang'
hal chanticleer ever crowed so Justify
as do the Locos because they did moi
lose Virginia. We advise them to be
careful, or they will meet the fate ot
the rooster of Mr.. s., an old resident
of Saltwater, on the upper Hudson,
who introduced among his family OF
hens few Shanghais, including roos-
ter of formidable dimensions, who had
"run to legs" a good deal. His crow
was peculiar, and easily distinguished
from that of the other cocks. One
morning he had waited to hear repeti-
ton of the usual summons, after being
aroused by the "shrill clarion" once
sounded, but heard it not again. The
other roosters were doing their best, but
the pre-eminent chanticleer was STILL
Mr.. S. went out to see what caused the
silence. He found the rooster lying on
his back, with both legs out of joint
After an examination, he set both legs,
the cock walked off, and gave vent tc
his satisfaction in lusty crow. He
had crowed his legs out again. He
was kept three or four days, and ther
killed. "It was too much trouble u
said Mr.. S.. ''to set him up every time
he crowed. ."--PhI. Sun.

MYsTERIoUs.-Yesterday afternoon
the sexton of the City Graveyard dis
covered barrel which had been buried
in a ravine in the back part of the yard,
and which the recent heavy rains had
washed so as to expose it to view. The
head of the barrel was painted blue,
with the words "New York brandy, Al
gallons upon it. Upon opening, it was
found to contain human being in a
state of nudity. Upon further exami-
nation it was found to be that of fe-
male, about % years of age, and far
advanced in pregnancy. She was of
rather low stature and had dark brown
hair, done up in two plaits, about 18
inches in length, and tied up on the back
part of the head. Her lower teeth were
short and close set, and the two large
front teeth were little apart, and in
clined to project outward. The body
from its appearance, had evidently been
buried some time, as it was very much
decomposed. There is mystery sur
rounding this affair that is difficult to
unrayel. The probabilities are that the
woman has been foully dealt with
abroad, and shipped to this city, where
she was stealthily buried by those who
understood the mystery too well.-St

OEAhCH fOh WIVES w ucIC w Lucl

wards become their wives, is question
we have occasionally heard discussed,
and the custom has invariably become oi
value to young lady readers. Chance
has much to do in this affair; but theE
there are important governing circum'
stances. 1t is certain that few mer
make selection from ball rooms oil
other places of public gayety; and near
ly as few are influenced by what may
be called showing off in the streets, OIL
by any allurements of dress. Our con
viction is, that ninety-nine hundreth;
of all the fnery with which women dec

thing, as far as husband catching is con.
eerned. Where and how, then, do mer
find their wives? In the quiet homes
of their parents or guardians-at the
fireside, where the domestic graces and
feelings are alone demonstrated. These
are the charms which most surely at
tract the high as well as the humble
Against these, all the finery and airs
sink into insignifcance. We shall il.
J lustrate this by an anecdote, which,
though not new, will not be the worse
for being again told: "In the year
1878, Peter Burrell, Esq, of Becken-
ham, in Kent, whose health was rapidly
declining, was advised by his physician
to go to Spa for the recovery of his
health. His daughters feared that
those who had only motives entirely
mercenary would not pay him that at
tention which he might expect from
those who. from duty and affection uni
ted, would feel the greatest pleasure in
ministering to his ease and comfort;-
they, therefore, resolved to accompany
him. They proved that it was not a
spirit of dissipation and gayety that led
them to Spa, for they were not to be
seen in any gay and fashionable circles
they were never out of their fathers
company, and never stirred from home,
except to attend 10 him either to the
air or drink the waters-in word, they
lived the most recluse life in the midst
of town then the resort of the most
illustrious and fashionable personages Of
Europe. The exemplary attention to
their father produced these three amiable
sisters the admiration of the English
at Spa, and was the cause of their ele-
walton to that rank in life to which their
merits gave them so just title. They
were all married to noblemen-one to
the Earl of Beverly--another to the
Duke of Hamilton, and afterwards to
the Murquis of Exeter-and third to
the Duke of Northumberland; and it is
justice to them to say that they reflected
honor on their rank rather than derived
any from it."

OLD TINES AND Now.-We make the
following spicy extract from the late adj
dress of Hon. Thos. Corwin, before the
Mechanics Institute Of Cincinnati:
The world, indeed, turns out better
men and women than it did in ages past.
For instance, David, the King Of Israel,
was doubtless the best as well as the
greatest man of his time; yet, il David
was now q citizen Of Hamilton county,
and behaved as he did in Palestine,
though he was the Lords annointed,
and very good man, doubt whether
the Wing or Democratic party, If any
such parties exist, or the Know Moth
ings or the Sag NIGHTS, (quiet fellows, !
believe, who say nothing, would ven-
ture to bring David's name before the
country as a candidate for the Presi-
dency. The morality of the law, ''Do
unto others as ye would others do unto
you," has now become incorporated In
to the convictions of the country, and
the result of it was, that shrewd leaders
would say:-Will it do? Won't the op-
position get hold of that queer case of
Uriah's? No, we must have Marcy or
Douglas, and David must be withdrawn
for want Of good moral character. Da-
vid had not been properly taught the
great law of doing unto others as ye
would others do unto him.
In further illustration, suppose Jacob
onJ I 49,, 6oJ baar osf.,are of n,na.u-
natl, and the bargain between the two
about the latter's daughter had been
brought before my excellent friend Sto-
rer in his court, and it had been shown
that Jacob had been defrauded, what
would my friend have done? Why, he
would have made them speech to this
purport: "Laban, we are sorrow to
have to decide this case against you, but
really it looks as though you wanted
Jacob to work for nothing. Give him
your daughter; if they don't live hap
PLY together after they are married,
then Jacob can go to Kanzas and print
an anti-Slayery paper. Laban pay the
costs"
Then there is the case of Noah--after
the deluge, he was probably the best
man alive, but the old commodore would
get tight, which would have qualified
him, under our Ohio liquor law, for the
Hamilton county jail, had he lived
among us. His children, indeed, be-
haved very badly, which shows they
could never have enjoyed the inestima-
bic advantages of the Sabbath school.

SCARCITY CAKE.-"Sun Bonnet
sends to the Rochester American the
following receipt for sponge or jelly
cake, suited to the present time: One
teacup of sugar, three eggs well beaten
to foam, one tea-spoonful of cream
tartar, and half tea-spoonful of soda.
This will make paste enough for two
baking plates full, for jelly cake, or one
plain cake, which should, of course, be
made thicker. For jelly cake, bake
thin on plates, and while the cake is hot
spread the jelly over it, and then roll
the cake into a kind of cylindrical coil.
When wanted for use, cut it across in
slices.
