HE DRIED SCoTT DECISION IN PRACTICE
Samming the last door of the first car and opening
that of the second, the 'genemanly conductor of
New York train made his appearance with his bow
and smile, and tickets gentleman, if you please
Seated in the front corner, surrounded by her
personal conveniences, such a carpet bag, UNI
brela big bundle little bundle, few apples and
pieces of cake, was colored lady, whose face, the
hue of an inverted saucepan, contrasting with her
snow white ivory and eyeballs, gave that pleasing
African expression which lie often the type of hu
NOR and good nature.

''Well well, II pass through, and when get back
perhaps you will have it ready"

upon the shoulder, asked "What yer gwoin charge

'What do you want to know that for7"

"Well five cents foot there, don't bother me
any more, but find your money and he went his

There seemed to be peculiar drollery about the

vent to involuntary yah! yah !" 1t was
not long before she found her purse, and with
drew some COIN which she kept ilngling in her hand,
as she kept up her occasional ordinations.
In due time the conductor returned for his money
and upon extending his itching palm somewhat
asonshed atreceiving the precise sum of ten cents
"What do You meant" he exclaimed THE fare

THE INVALID.
BY CORA.

u VIVA
To rise from sleepless rest at morn,
From watching the long night through,
And feel that the world and be
Had little more 10 do.
To set by the easement 10 W, and look
At the grass and the budding limb,
And feel that the birth OF another spring
Is gaddening all but him.
To watch bright forms Of unconscious health,
Go bounding along their way;
Right royal heirs to the proudest wealth,
Though formed OF a grosser clay.
To mark the illusiYe steps that lead
To the shore of the unknown sea,
To nerve the heart and the trembling knee,
And TO follow them silently.
To meet harsh natures unredeemed,
And words that have strength to burn,
Stern inhumanity that shows
An angle at every turn
All ! such, perchance, is the silent woe,
OF the sick ones gloomy lot,
And never Bonded bow that hath
An arrow that wounds him not.
But, oh there's brighter phase than this,
There are gems in the ebbing sand,
There are joys that come like the summer rain,
To the unprolific land.
There are blissful moments, that pay the toll
or unnumbered days of pain
They may come with book, or a blushing bud,
OF wel-remembered strain.
There are smiles that soften to meet your own,
From eyes of tender hue;
There are lips like the fqwers's honey cell,
With the sweetness dropping through.
There are precious memories winding up,
Through the vestibule of gloom,
Like innocent children hand in hand
Nor pleading in vain for room.
There are hopes that quicken the tardy pulse,
And brighten away the eye,
Till it seemeth a blessed thing to live,
And pleasant thought to die.
Till he sees promise in every leaf,
Of the bloom beyond the sod,
And there seems an angel at every step,
That leadeth him unto COP.

WASHINGTON, May IL.

The official papers just communicated
to the Government by Lord Napier, con-
tain formal proposition for the new
Central American treaty, bat the adj
ministration will probably do nothing
in the premises until the meeting ofthe
next Congress, when the entire subject
will be laid before the Senate, in defer
ence to their views heretofore expressed.
1t is untrue that the President con-
templates visiting Boston in June, as
stated by the newspapers.
Arrangements are nearly completed
for his summerresidence, in the vicinity
of the Soldiers Home, four miles from
Washington.
In consequent of the pressure of pub
lie business, he has just declined an invi-
tation to participate in the celebration
Of the settlement of Jamestown.

W Night spectacles, to see with in
the dark, are suggested by correspon-
dent of the Scientific Anericam..
"They would be very desirable" he
thinks, Gin some situations, to see clear
ly when quite dark, when acting as
pilot, for example, on river steamboats,.
This idea is practicable. That which
avails an owl to see in the dark will also
enable man to see in the night Her
schell could see with the aid of an optical
instrument which he constructed, the
dial on steeple clock, a mile distant,
when it was so dark that he could see
but few feet with the naked eye"

A WORD TO FARMERS ABOUT WHEAT.
The season is late, but the old settlers
tell us that as good crops ofwheat as they
ever raised were put in from the tenth
to, the 18th of May. This will be a
profitable crop, we have no doubt con-
sidering the future in all its bearings.
Winter Wheat is tolerably well reported
in other parts, but the complaints of
backward season and short time for
blowing are general in all parts of the
country wherever spring wheatis raised.
Consequently, limited crop is expected
and corresponding demand and high
price. 1t is hoped therefore, thatfarmers
will pillow and sow all the ground they
can, even though they get in their crops

NATURE AND Power OF COMETS
Although comets occupy an immense
space in the heavens, surprising millions
ofleagues, yet, on account of the absence
ofatmosphere in those regions permitting
fluids to be infinitely rarified, the mat
ter of these bodiesis reduced tothe most
feeble proportions. Sir John Herschel
says, that the tail of a large comet, as
far as any idea can be formed of it, is
composed of few pounds of matter,
and, perhaps, only ola few ounces. And
M. Babinet, well known in both hemis-
pheres as one of the greatest authorities
of the age, in physical astronomy, has
gone so far in respect to this subject as
to say that the earth, in coming into
collision witha comet, would be no more
affected in its stability than would rail
way train coming in contact with fly.

STRUcK BY THE CoMET-The good people down
at Indianapolis terribly frightened Tuesday
evening. They believe, down there, that the Com
gong knock little planet ''all 10 smash,
and have been greatly exercised about it for some
time. With this belief and under this excitement,
they were thrown into a state of alarm on Tuesday
evening that is described as perfectly awful, by
seeing the moon rise from behind the eastern hills
red as blood and looking like the great head of
fiery dragon. They thought il was the Comet-that
il about TO strike-that the end OF all earthly
things was hand, and they themselves to work
with prayers and tears and applications TO make
their peace, and be ready TO ''go up"
So frightened were they, says the Lafayette Jour
nal that the alarm bells rung, and the fire
gnes brought out, and the excitement and confusion
for few moments was INDISPENSABLE The idea Of
calling out the engines under such circumstances

You've LADY IN A SCRAPE-HooPs AND HIGH
HEELS IN CHURCH.-The Richmond Whig says:
A few Sundays ago. modest young gentlemen
of our acquaintance attended the morning SER
vice in one of the fashionable churches. He was
kindly shown into a luxuriously cushioned pew
and had hardly settled himself and taken an
observation of his neighbers, before beautiful
young lady entered, and with graceful wave
of the hand, preventing our friend from rising
to give her the place, quietly sank into seat
near the head. When the hymn was given out,
she skifully found its page, and with a sweet
smile that set his heart a humping, handed her
neighbor the book. The minister raised his
hands in prayer and the fair girl knelt, and in
this posture perplexed her friend to know which
most to admire, her beauty or her devotedness.
Presently the prayer was concluded and the
congregation resumed their seats Our friend
respectfully raised his eyes from the fair form he
had been SO earnestly scanning, lest when she
should look up, she would detect him staring at
her. After a couple of seconds he darted fur
tive glance at his charmer and was astonished to
see her still on her knees, he looked closely and
saw that she was much affected, trembling in
violent agitation doubt from the eloquent
power OF the preaching. Deeply sympathising,
he watched her closely.
Her emotion became more violent; reaching
her hand behind her, she would convulsively
grasp her clothing, and strain, as it We're, to
rend the brilliant fabric of her dress. The sight
: was exceedingly painful to behold, but he still
gazed like one entranced, with wonder and aston
ishment. After minute the lady raised her face
heretofor concealed in the cushion, and with her
head made unmistakable beckon to our friend.
He quickly moved along the pew towards her,
and inclined his ear as she evidently wished to
say something.
please help me, sir" she whispered "my
dress has caught, and can't get up" A brief
examination revealed the cause of the difficulty;
the fair girl wore fashionable high-heeled shoes;
kneeling upon both knees, these heels of course
stuck out at right angles; and in this position
the highest hoop of her new tangled skirt caught
over them, and thus rendered it impossible for
her to raise herself or straighten her limbs The
more she struggled the tighter she was bound
so she was constrained % call for help. This
was Immediately if not scientifically, rendered
and when the nextprayer made she merely
| inclined herself upon the back of the front pew
thinking no doubt, that she was not in praying
| costume.

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The Cincinnati
Gazette says of the wheat crop, that the
only state from which Acknowledgements
of the wheat crop, are received, is Hi
nois; and there, where the fall wheat is
seriously damaged, it is being replaced
by spring wheat. From Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky, the accounts are hatter-
ing. Generally, the fields look well, and
throughout, the breadth of land planted
is much larger than last year. At this
time we are pleased to be able to report
favorable prospect for a larger crop of
wheat than has ever been produced in
the west. Other crops will doubles be
equally large.-,JanesoilIe Gazette,

Iowa ELEcTIoN.-We have at length
the official result of the Iowa Election.
The Democratic candidates for register
of the Land Office and Superintendent
of public Instruction, are elected by
about 500 majority, and the Republican
Candidate for Commissioner of the Des
MONIES improvements by 800 majority.
The vote polled was 1925, against 81,
904 last fall. The Know Nothings and
Sham Democracyvotedtog together against
the Republicans, and the bestthey could
do was to make it drdao game. Last
fall, Fremont had As, lsl against 40, 1928
for Buchanan and Fillmore. Such is
the result over which the Nescs and other
Pro-Slavery organs have been cackling
for a fortnight past, as an endorsement
of the Dred Scott decision and rever-
sal of the verdict given by the People of
Iowa, last fall 1t is anything but that;
but Sham Democracy, just now, is thank
full for the smallest favors in the way of
Election returns.-Mil,oaukee Sentinel.
BOILER ExPLosIoN-AwFUL CATAs-
TRoPHE AT Cross PLAINs.-We are in
debted to Mr.. E. H. Williamson, of this
city, who was on the spot, for the fol-
lowing heart-rending intelligence. On
Thursday last, as the workmen were en-
gagged in running the steam saw-mill
owned by p. L. Mohr, of this city, one
of the boilers burst asunderatits middle,
scattering death and destruction around.
The engineer, whose name we could not
learn, was approaching the fireplace to
light his pipe, when the explosion took
place. His head was blown off, and he
was otherwise mangled in the most hor-
rid manner. Another man, whose name
we could not learn, was blown some
thirty or forty feet high, and some thirty
or fortyyards distance. He is probably
dead ere this. Two others were badly
injured. -lMadison Patriot.
