Poor people have hard time in this little world

difference between Lazarus aud Dvines, as the follow

Old Billy c. had attended great revival,
and in common with many others he was converted
and baptised. Not many weeks afterwards, one OF
his neighbour met him reeng home from court ground
with considerable brick in his hat. -.

you had joined The church"

me so everlastin' mean at the water. DIDN'T you
never hear about it, Jeems?''
"Never did"
"Then III tell you about it. You see, when we
come t the baptizin' place, thar was me and old
jerks, he rich old equirp, TO be dipped at the

What 1T Cost to be Buried.

curious has Just been decided at one of the
assizes in England. The plaintiff undertaken
named Alexander and the defendants were the execu-
tors of one Haydn, whose funeral Alexander sup
piled. The claim made for that ceremony was no
less than G4O5 but the defendants paid into court
E225. and denied further liability. Rayton was
formerly erson in humble position of life, but
by successful railway contracts he succeeded in a.
massing large of money, and at his death,
which took place in last December, he was represen-
ted to be worth from 100000 to g5O,O0O One of
the defendants, Mr.. KERRY, was surgeon WHO at
tended Hayton in his last illness, and he was named
of The executors of his will, and engaged Alex
ander 10 conduct the funeral. The ceremony appears
to have been performed in the most extraordinary
and extIavagant manner. The deceased was placed
in brass coffin, and there sort of lying in
stale after the body was screwed down. and for The
expenses connected with this ceremony, among
which charge for new suit of clothes a black
silk scarf, and hat band and gloves for person to
show up the company who came to see the lying
in slate very considerable was charged in the
bill. Another item was 9169 for remembrances'
in the sha of scars and gloves, and elegantly en-
bossed cards. which were sent TO sx,y.sx persons
The defence was, that the expenses not incurred
on the authority of the executors, and that ii was
absurd to supply silk scarfs and black gloves TO
number Of navvies, who attended the funeral -
The jury, however, returned verdict for the full
amount claimed.

The IS Hog ChoIera''---A New Theory.

DR.. Dougherty, of Paris, KY who has lately dis
seced hog that died of what is termed hog chol.
ra" thus writes to another physician
"Upon examination found tie brain, spinal mar
row, lungs. liver, heart. stomach, the large and a
part of the small bowel. without disease. But that
portion of the small bowel next the stomach was
literally filled with worms to the extent of several
feet, and in q high slate oil inflammation. The worm
from two TO five inches in length resembling in
appearance the ascaris of Il human subject, but
har er, more active, and apparently more tenacious
o. life SO closely were they crowded in the bowels
that their form could he distinctly traced through its
coats.
1.-The disease, then, of which the hog dies, is in
aammation of portion of the small bowel, caused
by this hard, active worm, and producing the symp-
toms noticed in its course, viz dropping, indsposi-
ton to eat, diarlh ea, and finally convulsions and
death. The treatment, it seems to me, must alto
gether preventive. do not believe The worms could
be dislodged by any treatment after inflammation is
set up but before this, while the hcg is apparently

The doctor thinks the disease 'incommunicable' -
and the best remedy is medicine 10 disodge the
worms in their course of devel pment.''

ReDentanf Democrats

During the session of the Texas democratic State
ention, Col j. S. Ford, editor of the Austin State
Times and Frank F. Williams, of Cherokee county,
ere received back into the democratic fold, whence
they had been decoyed by the dark lanters of know
pothngism. The editor of the Galveston Civilian,
who was present, thus writes:
Colonel John S. Ford, editor of the State Times,
first came forward. He said that he had joined the
American party with none but good motives, though
without investigating materially its principles; but
government but he had refrained from any public
declaration from various considerations he did lot
want ofice would he have office if rendered him
He believed that the salvation of the county, and
especially of The South, depended upon the integrity
and stability of The democratic party, as the only
tIonal organization in existence.

party is not disposed to be hard upon those

We are almost as much puzzled as President Blu,

We are almost as much puzzled as President Bu'
cbanan. He can't find Governor for Utah, and we
confess that we find much difficulty in finding any
matter of immediate or pressing interest, presenting
any new feature for discussion and we care little for
wearyng our readers with thrice told tales.
The Ohio Fugitive Slave Case, to which we have
already made reference, continues to engage the at
ention of the Administration, which is determined TO
assert the authority of law at all hazards, and the
Ohio authorities tnust either surrender the persons
charged with crimes against the United States, or lie
brought into open and violent cofict with the Fed
eral forces. 1t is proper that this thing should be
brought 10 an issue. We must know how and where
we stand. The Union itself may depend upon this.
There is no use in our living under Constitution II
lis provisions are nullifed, nor in sending Rep
resentatives to Congress, if all laws enacted III
pursuance of these PROVISIONS for the protection OF
our rights and property are set at naught
The excitement about the Washington riots le
gradually calming down. This matter we do not
care to discuss farther The facts too apparent
to need extended remark. We trust that similar
state OF things may never again arise.
The prospects Of good crop become brighter and
more assured There may be partial failures IN some
localities but We do not anticipate any general de-
ficiency Hog products, in the way of bacon and
polk, will no doubt be short. The unprecedented
and uncaculatedfOr length and severity OF the last
winter, as well as the winter before, fell very heavily
on stock. The wheat crop in this State Will be a
good one We fear that our farmers in the wheat
regions have not escaped the usual tendency to oVerdo

ton has been too exclusively devoted 10 wheat 10

General Walker is doing himself no good BY his
way of talking complaining, as he does OF captain

Walker was on his last legs, and that but for the SYM

Large shipment of Cattle for America.

An extensive and valuable consignment of breed.
ing stock was shipped on Wednesday for Phade
phia, in the ship Georgia, Captain Macloon. The
stock comprised 80 heai of short horned cattle, 5
valuable horses, Is sheep, and % pigs. All the ami
mails are of the best breeds, and have been selected
without regard TO expense, in Eng gland, Ireland, and
Scotland The task of selection devolved on DR..
Johns, Captain Brown, and Mr. Jacoby, who were
sent over here by the Illinois CATTLE Importing Asso
citation. The cattle arc to be distributed exclusively
in the State of Illinois, with view to the improve
mens of the breeds in that State by crosses with the
best blood TO be obtained in this country. In proof
of the value of hgh-bFed English cattle in The Uni
ted States, it may be mentioned that $50 guineas
paid for one two yearod heir, and that the cost of
the IS animals including their freight aud provision
to the port of destination, will be far short of
$4,000. The horses from celebrated studs, and
most of the cattle have taken prizes various agr-
cultural shows. The shipment is, in fact, the most
valuable ever sent from this port.
Excellent arrangements have been made in the
vessel for the safe keeping of the stock during the
voyage and in order that they may arrive at their
destination in good condition This department was
under the direction of Mr.. Bell of the Adephi sta
bles who displayed his usual skill and judgement in
making the necessary arrangements for the shipment.

Fit is common opinion that climate alone is capa.
BILE of producing all the divesities of complexion so
remarkable in The human race. A very few facts
may suffice TO show that such cannot be the case
Thus the negroes of Van Diemen's Land who are
among the blacklist people on earth, live in climate
as cold as that of iceland while the Undo Chinese
nations who live in tropical Asia. are Of a brown
and olive complexion. It is remarked by Humboldt
that the American tribes of the equnoxial region
have no darker skin than the mountaineers of the
temperate zone. So, also, the Puelches of the Ma
gellanic plains, beyond the fifty fifth degree OF south
latitude are absolutely darker than Abpones, TOBIAS,
and other tribes who are many degrees nearer the
equator. Again, the Charruas who live south of
the Rio de Ia Plata, are almost black, while the
Guaycas under the line among the farest of the
American tribes. Finally, not to multiply examples,
those nations of the Caucasian race which have be-
come inhabitants of the torrid zone in both hemi-
spheres although their descendants have been for
cen.ures and in Africa for many centuries, exposed
to the most active influence of the climate. have
never, in a solitary instance, exhibited the transfer

NJ The Democrats of the first congressional dis
trjct met at Wnson on the 28h ult., and nominated
Hon. Henry Nj. Shaw as their candidate for Congress
This result had been foreshadowed by the action OF
the counties in their primary meetings, the delegates
having been, generally speaking, instructed to vote
for the Dr. VIM. Hill, Esq, ofHalifax, Gen Person.
Of Northampton and VIM. F. Martin, Esq, of Pas
duotank received complimentary votes, but there
was no serious effort made in opposition to the noml-
nation Of Dr. Shaw, which, after the first ballot,
was made unanimous.
The Editor of the " Democratic Pioneer" OF Eliza
beth CITY who was present at the convention, speaks
of the enthusiastic spirit which perYaded the Democ
racy there assembled and entertains no doubt OF the
triumphant election of the candidate nominated.
Messrs. Shaw and Smith, Democratic and Know
Nothing candidates, respectively, opened tho canvass
at Nor hampton Court House on the first instant.
Dr. Shaw has received and will no doubt continue
to receive more than his fair proportion of personal
abuse from the small popguns of the opposition in
his district and the parts adjacent which will help
him The 8ort of rawlings which some of these pop
guns organs seem TO mistake for argument, and with
which they essay to serve their party or cause do
sometimes strike quiet man with surprise.

Russell is building monstrous ship at Blackwell,
England.a steamship that is to carry some twenty
three thousand tons, being big as eight of the big
Collins steamers. This steamer of Russelrs has been

that we will find staring US in the face something

soldiers she can carry, and another swears she will
run like locomotive, if not faster

sink every year? What is " Great Eastern " stock
worth? How many ports in the world can she en-
